The marines went ashore In the most perfect "order, as If limply for a land- ing drill, and quickly drove th rioters icto hiding. Commandant Palmer cheerfully gave up the custom house, railroad depot, cars, locomotives and merchandise, etc., to Lieut. A. C. Baker, U. S. N-- . taking the latter's receipt for the property and then the commandant (an insurgtnt official) re- tired into private life once more. By order of Lieutenant Baker the flag cf Nicaragua was asrain hoisted to th iiag-eta- ff in front of the custom house, and the stars and stripes were hoisted on the flag- staff at the northeast side of the custom house. The British flag was hoisted by Lieutenant Lewin, of the Comus, on the south si3e of the building and also on the west end of the railroad station. A squad of marine?, under a lieutenant and two mid- shipmen, was Etationed at the office of the United States consular eqrent, who Is also the consular agent for EngUnd and for Italy. Lieut. J. V. Dodd, U. 8. N., was In com- mand of the United States marines 'ashore, and he soon had the custom house office thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. He then quartered his men as comfortably as possible, posted sentries and got the signal corps in working order. During time Lieutenant Baker, of the Alert, and Lieutenant Lewin, cf the Comus, with squads of marine, hurried through the town, releasing the citizens who had barricaded themselves in terror, from their house, closing all the liquor ahops ana disarming all the ciScers and soldiers of the insurgent army who could be cornered. In less than half an hour after the marines landed perfect order and peace prevailed in Corinto and the residents hurried to be-de- a'c themselves in holiday attire, in honor of their gallant rescuers. Captair. Dyke and Commander Hanford then came ashore and, together, inspected the posts occupied by the marines. They received the hearty thanks of the citizens arhore and of the refusee.i who had been,-i- n as much danger as the inhabitants. The wires having been cut no telephone or telegraphic communication could be had with Corinto, Chinandega and Leon, and the railroad track had been injured at sev- eral places between Chlnandega and Leon, rendering travel extremely difficult and slow. As there Is no cable station at Corinto the American and British commanders were un- able to communicate wiuv their respective governments before landing the marines. During the afternoon Mr. Talazio sent a messenger to Chinandega to notify the com- mander of the Honduran troops there that tha situation at Corinto had - become so alarming as to necessitate the landing of American and British marines, and that the gsrt was occupied by them. In the evening Metuta, of Honduras, and about eighty soldiers arrived at the outskirts of Corinto and sent forward a messenger de- manding the surrender of the cusom house, railroad station and port immediately, and that the marines return to their Ships. Lieutenant Baker received the message and sent a reply asking for a written request from President Zelaya or some official of his government competent to represent him. General Metuta evidently had no such au- thority and he returned to Amayia highly offended, after writing Lieutenant Baker a note, full of self-eulog- y, telling of his great- ness and pointing out what pigmies all other persons are when compared to him. IN A TRAP. At about 11 o'clook In the morning on May 3 General Metuta again appeared at Corinto with about eighty Hondurans and proceeded toward the custom house. But, when he reached the west end of the rail- road station, he was halted by a British marine sentry and the Honduran. soldiers were ordered Into a narrow street between the walled up south side of the station and a high plank fence, a position which placed them almost directly under the rifles of a dotatchment of British marines who occu- pied the upper veranda of the custom house and also opposite to and within 600-ya- rd range of the six-Inc- h breech-loade- rs and rapid-fir- e guns of the Comus. General Metuta, after a parley with the young lieutenant in command of the Brit- ish marlnee, was allowed to pa&s with some cf .his aids to 'the headquarters of Lieuten- ant Baker, of the Alert. There he stated he had come with authority from General Bonilla, Vice President of Honduras and commander of the Honduran allies of Presi- dent Zelaya, of Nicarragua, to occupy the property of the government of Nicaragua, etc. It was not then known In Corlnto what great outrages the-Hhi- rr sMdiers had committed on women, aid girls at El Veyjo, nor was it known that they had destroyed a great deal of property while occupying that place during the past two months, or General Metuta's reception might not have been as pleasant as it was. However, Lieutenant Baker signalled for Commander Hanford and Captain Dyke, who soon ar- rived at the custom house. For an hour or so they patiently listened to Metuta's bluster, but when he threatened to occupy Corinto without waiting for President Zel-ya- 's orders, although the latter was only about thirty miles away, the American and British commanders decided to teach the Hondurans a lesson. A few sharp orders were given, and the American and British marines, fully armed and equipped, wero drawn up. at their dif- ferent stations ashore, the Alert was sig- naled to steam up to and opposite the cus- tom house, and the Comus cleared for action. These preparations had a calming effect on General Metuta. He bean to apologize as energetically as he had at iirst attempted to bluff, promised to retire with his troops if the American and British commanders would permit him. Finally It was agreed that General Metuta and his soldiers should be allowed to come in out of the hot, tropical sun and roost upstairs in the telegraph ofUces at the northwest corner of the custom-hous- e square. But they were warned to keep quiet and. to be- have themselves until advices wero received from President Zelaya. A train at about 6 p. m. arrived at Cor- into from Chinandega, bringing about sixty Nicaraguan soldiers, under General Emello Hlerrera, with a letter from General Aure-liu- s Estrada, a close personal friend of President Zelaya, and commander-gener- al of the civil department of the republic. The letter was addressed to the JJnlUd States consul at Corlnto, notifying him that Gen- eral Hlerrera had been appointed com- mander at Corlnto and assuring him and the commanders of the United States and British warships that Hlerrera was an hon- est, cool, prudent and reliable man, who would protect life and property and that Corinto might be turned over to him with safety as the representative of tho legal government of Nicaragua. General Bonilla, Vice President of Hon- duras, also reached Corinto by the same train and, at the conference with Com- mander Hanford, Captain Dyke and Gen- eral Hlerrera, apologized for the .conduct of General Metuta. Terms were agreed on, and at about 8 o'clock in the morning of May 4 Corlnto was turned over to the Nicaraguan force. When Presldnt Zelaya was Informed of the occurrence tie at once telegraphed his approval to the American legation at Mana- gua, with his thanks, and late; telegraphed an invitation to Commander Hanford and Captain Dyk? and their officers to visit Managua and enjoy the hospitality of the government of Nicaragua.

(Copyright, 1S0G, by the Associated Press.) MANAGUA, Nicaragua, May 14, via New York, June 1. In view of the fact that the government controlled the wires at the time, the correspondent of the Associated Press has been compelled to send by mall the following account of the landing", on May 2, at Corlnto, of a force of about one hun- dred American and British marines from the United States cruiser Alert and the Brit- ish cruiser Comus, who, acting in the most perfect harmony, occupied that port and protected, until May 4, the property of for- eigners In the custom house and at the rail- road station, subduing a riotous and drunken mob which threatened to cause the most serious disturbances. " During the recent revolution In Nicara- gua there were remarkable Instances of the lawless manner In which so-call- ed ministers of provisional governments can act when they have the opportunity. For instance, about March 24, Samuel Mayorsa, who was Minister for the Treasury In the Baca, or revolutionary government, made a demand-o- n Mr. II. S. Harding, an English subject, controller of the branch at Leon of the Lon- don Bank of Central America, for a loan of $S0,00O or about 133,000 of Nicaragua bond3 of doubtful ownership, threatening to withdraw protection from the bank if the demand was not complied with within a given time. Mr. Harding succeeded in z taving the matter off until he managed to have letters delivered secretly to Commander Franklin Hanford, of the United States cruiser Alert, then the only war ship at the port of Corlnto, and to the United States consular agent at Corlnto, Mr. Henry Palarlo. Commander Hanford Immediately assured Mr. Harding that he would resist any effort to take by force the property of citizens of the United States or of subjects of foreign governments in friend- ly relations with the United States. Com- mander Hanford sent this letter by the United States consular agent, who took prompt action and succeeded in saving the money of the English bank from the Nicara-guan.om'cla- ls. while, at the same time, clear- ly showing the insurgents that the property of foreigners could not be interfered with. On April 16 Minister Mayorga issued a decree, . in the name of the revolutionary government, declaring that the officers and books of the custom house at Corlnto were to foe at once removed to Leon, the capital of he"T0ltIona?yTe"renCv situated about thirty miles in . the Interior, adding that "owing to the fact that the troops of Honduras (sent to assist the force' of Presi- dent Daca's troops at Corlnto and seize the millions of dollars' worth of merchandise In the custom house belonging to citizens of Nicaragua and to foreigners, as they had robbed private dwellings and stores in. the town of Elviejo, twenty-fiv- e miles from Corlnto.) Samuel Mayorga, Minister of the Treasury, had gone to Corlnto with railroad trains in order to remove the merchandise, belonging largely to foreigners, from the custom house of Corlnto to Leon. It was evident, however, that the real object of Mayorga's move was to obtain possession of this property and hold it as security for a war loan. The foreigners protested to Commander Hanford and to Capt. Henry H. Dyke, of the British cruiser Comus, which had arrived at Corlnto about April 5. THE MINISTER ENRAGED. , The American and British commanders decided that they would not allow tho in- surgents to take possession of tha property of foreigners in the custom house or rail- road depot at Corlnto. As the latter build- ings were within six hundred yards of the gun3 of the two war ehlpa tbey were at least as safe as if the property was at Leon This enraged Minister Mayorga so much that- - he caused the arrest of all native males in Corlnto between the ages of sev- enteen and seventy years on the plea that a great battle was imminent at Momotombo. After detaining them on the railroad cars for a few hours Mayorga released all those wao could pay .htm from $100 to cash and returned to Leon with the other unfor- tunate inhabitants of Corlnto, without giv- ing any receipt for the money collected, but declaring that he would return again to Corlnto. This he did on, May 1, when his party disbanded and sought safety in flight, with ponalderable sums of money extorted from the people of Nicaragua. They es- caped to Guatemala in a small, schooner, the commanders of the American and Brit-Lf- a war ships having no authority to arrest them. But their flight showed the necessity of protecting the property of foreigners to be greater than ever. Although the chief of the Insurgent party succeeded in escaping, a great num- ber of the officers and solJieTS of the insur- gent army, with their arms, flocked to Co- - rinto In the hope of getting out of the coun- try, but were unable to get away owing to lack of means. The disappointed soldiers became reckless after their leaders deserted them, and began drinking and rioting. Some of them succeeded in crossing the esftuary and made for the woods. Others commenced robbing houses and threatening the lives of everybody of the law and order class at Corlnto. Women were insulted, and an at- tack on the custom house was planned. The native commandants and the handful of police at the port were utterly Impotent, and, at about 9 o'clock in the morning of May 2, the commandants, at the request of the peaceful residents, sent a committee to Chinandaga with a letter to Manuel Bonilla. Vice President of Honduras, who was in command of the troop of that republic sent to support President Zelaya.' Sonor Bonilla was at El Vayko, and when he re- ceived the "request from Corinto to send a force to protect the port he promised to comply. There was considerable delav, and the few policemen sent did not reach Co- rlnto until 7 p. m., which would have been too late to save the custom house and its contents, although Chinandaga is only about twenty-tw- o miles from Corinto. While the committer was away the most serious disorders broke out at Corinto. The disbanded &olilers, seeming to be- - insane with drink, violated .women and young girls and began gathering about the custom house. Palmer, the commandant of the custom houe, hurried a written request for protection to Mr. Henry Palazio, the United States consular agent, requesting the lat- ter to appeal for help to the commanders of the (American and British war ships in port, the Alert and Comus, asking them to land men and take charge of the iort and protect the persons and property of Nicara-guan- s and foreigners and of the govrn-me- nt of Nicaragua until the government of I resident Zelaya could send troops. MARINES LANDED. Commander Hanford and Captain Dyke again consu'tej and decMei to comply with the request. Both of these officers had been ashore, and from personal knowledge were aware of the terrible state of affairs exist- ing. Consequently, at about 1 p. m. on May 2, a force of about 100 marines, commanded by four officers and a number of midship- men, were landed from the Alert aad the SHOWS ALOZO WALLIXO IS DETEIU MIX CD TO HE CUEEItFUL.

Colonel Washington, In cross exarnlnlna Coroner Tingley, asked many strictly tech-ni- cal medical questions touching on coagula- tion of the blood, the formation of the air in the lungs, and a score or more of tech- nical questions on the human anatomy and the intricate workings of the human system. He asked: "Could you tell whether the person you examined died from an arterial hemorrhaja or not?" "Excepting that the arteries were cut. "Was that alir : "Yes, I think eo." "Doctor, what nerves In tho cede bava a potent influence on the heart?" . "Well, I don't think I want to go InUl that."

WItnets went to the scene of the murder oa ' the morning of Feb. 1, but not until the- - body had been moved. He found at the top of the little hill on which the body lay a clofi of blood. He thought there was about s pint and a half of blood In this clot. He ssiA he also saw another and larger clot of bloodi near where the body lay. Weaver testified to finding a bit of blonde hair right in this clot of blood, and two Lmltatlon tortoise-she- ll hairpins near the blood spot. "I found near the gate a pice of a wnu fascinator, or shawl," said the witness. "Now, how much blood did you think waa spattered about the place where the body; lay?" asked Colonel Nelson. "About a gallon."" Colonel Washington here took the witness. "What did you do with that fascinator?" "I gave it to Sheriff Piummcr." "Was it clean 7" "Yes, it looked clean." Photographer. Joseph Claris testified to taking several pictures of the body of Pearl Bryan at White's morgue, and identified the ghastly pictures In court as the ones he bad taken. Colonel Nelson then offered the pic- tures 4n evidence, and each Juror looRed a4 the pictures Intently. Colonel Washington madef no objection to them. The hcrriblo pictures seemed to have no outward effe-r- t on the Jury, although they were of the moat ghastly nature, being reproductions of thei murdered girl's body as it lay on the s!at In the morgue. Colonel Washington, in cross-examini- ng the witness, introduced three pictures showing the fence In three sections or three pic turfs whore ooachmaa Jackson eays he saw Jackson climb oven with the body of a half-dea- d rirl.

They Will Attempt to Make the Ratio 20 to 1, or, Falling In This, to Have None Fixed. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, June 1. The complete vie-to- ry of the free-silv- er Democrats In Ken- tucky 13 conceded In Washington to be the death knell of all hopes held by Mr. Cleve- land that the sound-mone- y men might con- trol the Chicago convention. It is nq longer a question of passing a sound-mone- y resolu- tion, but merely a fight by the sound-mone- y men to prevent the free-silv- er majority from ruthlersly sweeping everything before it. It is no secret here that certain members of the 'Cabinet are Inwardly rejoicing at the crushing defeat of Secretary Carlisle, amounting, as It does, to his absolute repu- diation by his own. State. . For some time certain members of Mr. Cleveland's council have been compelled to swallow tho Presi- dent's angry taunts at their lack of influ- ence in their own States. Secretary Herbert was swept away in Alabama; Postmaster-gener- al Wilson went to his political death In West Virginia; Secretary Smith has failed to hold Georgia; Secretary Morton could only organize a bolt In Nebraska. Time after time they were told, to regard Kentucky and learn there how a really strong man could carry his State, even against fearful odds. Secretary Carlisle was held up constantly as a model. Hence the Secretaries who have had "Carlisle" dinned Into their ears are to-d- ay accepting the result la Kentucky with more than resignation. Now, while the victory of free sliver in Kentucky means that the silver men will control the Chicago convention, it would be a premature assumption to claim that the Democratic platform will come out openly for free and unlimited coinage of sliver at the ratio of 16 to L A Democratic Senator; whose past services and present leadership In his party make his statements of value, said to the Journal correspondent this after- noon: "The result In Kentucky settles the question as to which policy will control the convention, but I feel certain that the plat- form will not promise free coinage at 16 to 1, just as I feel certain that your platform at St. Louis will not promise gold monometal- lism. The free-silv- er men at Chicago will demand a 16-to- -l plank, but they will be made to yield. It' Is my belief that the Chi- cago platform, while a silver platform, will say nothing of a ratio; certainly It will not fix as low, a ratio as IS to L Possibly 20 to 1 may be named, but I do not expect to see any definite' statement on that point. - For you must Temember that (while the free-silv- er men will have the majority, there will bo between two hundred and three hundred sound-mone- y men, and we do not propose that the free-silv-er men shall ride rough- shod over us. The East, you must remember, will line up solidly for sound money, and we will be able to force concessions. They are strong enough to build the platform, but they cannot nominate a man to stand on that platform without our votes. I think you will see that the Chicago platform will not declare for free silver at IS to L" ' KENTUCKY DEMOCRATS. Sllverltes and Sound-Mone- y Men to Hold Caucuses To-Da- y.

The Coliseum building, at Qixty-thlr- d street and Stony Island ave- nue, in which the Democratic National Convention Is to be held, was thrown open to the public to-da- y. Buffalo Bill, with his cowboys, rDronchos, Indians and other social bright lights from the West and his aggre- gation of rough riders from sundry ends of creation, had the honor of drawing the first crowd in the building, ard they drew one sufficiently large to prove the building will accommodate in splendid shape any crowd that may gather to watch the work of the politicians. The work of choosing a (residential nominee by a great po-itic- al f party transcends the antics of a pack of bucking bronchos in dignity, importance and all other things save one, and that Is drawing power. As many people may come to hear the orators as came to-nig- ht to listen to the "You-you- " of the Indians, but no more; not Into the Coliseum building. It will not hold more. The crowd to-nig- ht was a tester for any building and it was able to enter and leave tho place with a facility and comfort which proves that the building is all that its builders have claimed for it. Chairman Harrity. of the Democratic na- tional committee, watched the Indians, the buffalo and the bronchos to-nig- ht, and in- cidentally took notes concerning the build- ing. He expressed himself as more than satisfied with it, and said: "Tho show is all right, too." lllackhnrn Sent Rcfrrets. Charles W.

June L It Is believes that Rev. Francis Hermans, the al- leged murderer of OIIss Clausen and others, has been located. G. M. Nolan, an employe of the California . Wine Company, declares he met Hermans in his recent travels and was on a railroad train with him two days. From the description given he is certain he has ma da no mistake in the man. For the purpose of securing the reward Nolan left this city last night accompanied by two of- ficers to make the arrest. He will not say positively to what point he Is but It is believed to be some place in the wilds of Idaho. He cays Hermans will be found at a point seventy miles from railroad or tele- graph communica'tion. The. St. Paul Globe contains this Interest- ing sketch of pastor Francis Ilerznans's life: The disappearance of Rev. Francis Hermans from Salt Lake City and the sus- picion of murder attached to his name caused no j small amount of excitement among the ministers of the Norwegian-Danis- h Methodist Conference, now In session in St. Paul, among whom Dr. Hermans was not unknown. The feeling seems to be divided as to the possibility of the missing preacher's guilt, though tho majority lean toward the theory that. In the face of such strong evidence, and the fact that ugly rumors have before been connected with his came, his Innocence is douotful. Rev. Fran-- , exs Hermans has many acquaintances among the Scandinavians of the Twin Cities, hav- ing: come to Minneapolis hi 1S31, through the Instrumentalities of Elder Rev. Jacobson, of that city, in whose residence Hermans lias been regarded almost as a member of the family. Six years a so He v. Jacobscn went to Nor- way. On the voyage he became acquainted with a clergyman whose prepossessing ap- pearance and winsome manners attracted general attention. Rev. Jacobson became interested in the man and when he learned that his new acquaintance was at the head of the Seamen's 2ll3sion at Glasgow, Scot-.an- d, he became anxious to learn something more regarding him. That clergyman was Francis Herman?, a Swede by birth, but a prominent worker for the mission muse ether countries besides his own. notably France, where he was the proprietor of . axtenalve tailors' home, and in Scotia-wher- e he resided, and, a already sta.i presided over the Seamtn's .Mission at ii'.u- - The acquaintance thus formed ripened frow. the warmest mutual friendship. Noth- ing would do but lUv. Jacobson should ac- company Hermans to his home, which he Ud. finding him coror&tiably situated and C3j?7in3r the highest riVjject among all c'zrrs.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE. Ind., June 1. There will be six hundred delegates In the national con- vention of the Travelers' Protective Asso- ciation which - meets here to-morr- ow and it is expected that fifteen hundred or two thousand more mem- bers of this, the only national organization of commercial travelers, will be here to-morr-ow evening to take part In the Illuminated parade. The annual conventions are made an occasion for a week's reunion and a gen- eral good time and the T. P. A. men will be dropping In during the week if only for a day. The city Is being ehVborately decorated and tihe illuminated parade to-morr- ow has been arranged on a big scale. The election of John C. Wilkinson as pres- ident, which had been assured, has been upset by Mr. Wilkinson's withdrawal. It has always been conceded that the Missouri division should name tho president because the headquarters were formerly located in that . State. Mr. Wilkinson has decided that his business affairs and his health will not permit him to accept. Col. John A. Lee has served three years and announced that he would not be a candidate for a fourth term, but since Mr. Wilkinson's withdrawal he has consented .nd he will be elected without opposition. He is the editor of the Inter- state Grocer, published in St. Louis, and Is a member of the Board of Police Commis- sioners in that city. The most important question to come be- fore the convention is that of railroad rates. The T. P. A. was organized for the purpose of securing better railroad rates, improved hotel accommodations and legislation ' on matters in which the commercial , world might fce interested. It was mostly through Its efforts that the railroads Issued the In- terchangeable mileage books which recently were abandoned by the companies. The T. P. A. men think the railroads are treating them unfairly in the matter by making It appear that traveling men have been dealing with 'scalpers and that therefore the books had come Into misuse. The traveling men had agreed to most any measure of. pre- caution in this" regard, but the traffic asso- ciation does not seem willing to give them the books. The abuse of them according to the Taellef of the traveling men, was due to the acts of the railroad companies them- selves, as the scalpers bought them direct from the agencies. The feeling of resent- ment towards the railroads has been in- creased by their refusal to grant special ex- cursion rates for the convention. Several hundred men in Decatur and Peoria wanted to come here to-morr- but no better rate than one fare for the round trip could be secured. At the same time the companies are making rates at less than that for ex- cursions to St. Louis. The traveling men say that they patronize the railroads the year around, whereas the St. Louis excur- sions are patronized by persons who never ride on the roads except on some cheap ex- cursion. It is probable that the convention will start a movement for legislation In the tev-er- al States in the middle West for a gen- eral rate of 2 cents a mile for all persons and for all distances. The convention 'will be called to order to- morrow morning in the opera house, when an address of welcome on the part of the State will be made by Governor M,atthws, and on the part of the city by Mayor Boss. CoL R. W. Thompson is also expected to add to the welcome. The afternoon session will be for association business. There will be sessions Wednesday and Thursday morn- ings. The ladles Who accompany the visitors to the city will be met at the hotels by com- mittees of Terre Haute ladles and to-morr- ow morning will be guests at the Terre Haute Club. Wednesday morning they will toe taken riding by a com- mittee of ladles. Wednesday night there will be a special vaudeville perform- ance at Harrison Park, one of the perform- ances being dancing by Miss Fuller, a sister of "La Loie," who will use the lights and apparatus used by the slater in the dances which have made her famous. Thursday there will toe racing and athletic sports at the fair grounds and that night there will be a banquet and dancing at the Terre Haute House. Friday morning a Fpeclal train will carry all who want to make the trip to Put-in-Ba- y, going by the way of Dayton over the Panhandle, and to Toledo. Saturday evening the excursionists will go by boat to Detroit, where they will remain until Sunday night, returning to Toledo by boat and back here, or so many of them whose convenience it will be to return to this city, Monday morning. The Travelers' Protective Association was reorganized on its present plan at Denver in 1S90. It had a membership of 1.1W the fol- lowing June and 10.538 last June. The re- ports this week will show a membership of about 12,000. For the year ending: June, 1S93, $57,325 was paid in indemnities for Injuries or death. The only insurance in the asso- ciation is for accident. For death or total blindness it is $3,000; lo?s of one eye, H.CkW; ins cf both arms or lejfs. $2,500: less of one arm or one leg, $2.50o; loss of one hand or one foot, $1,000; weekly indemnity for acci- dental Injury not to exceed titty-tw- o weeks, $25. Johnstown Memorial Day. JOHNSTOWN, Pa., June 1. The people of Johnstown observed a second Memorial day here yesterday in honor of the departed ones who lost their livfs in the great flood, which occurred just seven years ago, on Friday, May 31, IS. Over 3,800 souls per- ished that day. Thousands of people, ac- companied by bands, visited the cemeteries. The scene at the plot of the unknown dead. In Grandview Cemetery, where over six hun- dred He buried, was singularly pathetic. According to the annual custom, service were held and each of the graves was decked with flowers. In all the churches sermon appropriate were preached and the anniversary of that fatal day was generally observed. fltcam' Bicycle Inventor Killed. BOSTON. Juno l.S. 11.

Jacobson's visit to Norway he again made a brief call upon Rev. Hermans at his Scotland home, during which the latter expressed a strong desire to come over to America. Jacobson agreed to bear his case in mlnd and immediately upon his re- turn to the Untied States, laid Herman's case before the various church authorities here. But at the time no place could be found for him. A year later, however. Rev. Tollefson, of Minneapolis, decided to leave his charge, and Rev. Hermans wras sent for. He came and at once took charge of Rev. Toilefson's congregation, over which he pre- sided for about six months, after which he removed to West Superior. Meanwhile, Hermans, who claimed having been a widower while In Scotland, had married a Miss Bertha Wangea, of Minneapolis. The story goes among Ids friends that the wife proved to "be of unsound mind, which con- dition grew worse after the removal of the couple from Minneapolis to West Superior, and in February, 1S92. It was decided to send her to the insane asylum. Death, how- ever,: came., to hw. relief a fev hours pre vlous.to the time set for her removal. A year afterward he married a Miss t.omen, of Iowa, the ceremony being performed in Minneapolis. Rev. Hermans continued to reside at West Superior until the fall of 1883. when he removed to Salt Lake City, Utah, where his wife died shortly after- ward. About four weeks ago Rev. Hermans was in St. Paul and Minneapolis on a tour of that country., soliciting and collecting means for his Salt Lake City church, for which he was duly authorized toy the bishops. He went from here to West Superior, returned to the Twin Cities, and then left for Chicago, from where word was received of him in St. Paul from Mr. Hansen, of Chicago, the book agent of the Norwegian-Danis- h church; and also from editor Hagensen, of Den Chrlstelige Ta'smand. Rev. Hermans is a short, heavy-s- et man, of light complexion, sandy hair, and wears gold-bow- ed glasses, being somewhat near-sighte- d. He is about forty-fiv- e years of age, and a favorite with the fair sex. F. A. Scarvie. who Is presiding at the conference in St. Paul, was seen after the meeting last evening and said that the members had intended sending a telegram of Inquiry to Salt Lake City In regard to tho matter, but had not yet done so. Mr. Scarvie is the pastor of the church at West Superior. where Rev. Hermans formerly pre- sided, and knows the man well. He says report has not been idle with the suspected man's name before, there having been some pointed questions asked at the time of his second wife's death, who only lived a few months after the marriage. Mr. Scarvie said no doubt this old trouble would come up should the Salt Lake City matter come to trial. Mr. Scarvie said he himself had always distrusted the? man Instinctively, though he really knew no harm of him; that he was popular with the women. Rev. Hermans has had photographs taken, both with and without a mustache. Hermans was In Minneapolis April 8, calling at the home of Rev. O. L. Hanson, 2106 Ninth avenue south. He had been in the city some little time, collecting sub- scriptions for his church in Utah. That night he left, saying that he was going to Chicago. Mr. Hanson says that that was the last he saw of Hermans, but later, when he went to Chicago, he learned that the Utah clergyman had received a telegram from the presiding elder at Utah, ordering him to return at once. When the presiding elder of the Utah district passM through Minneapolis somo time ago, he gave out meager information to the effect that Rev. Hermans wa In trouble, but said little about It. He (left the Impression, though, that a woman was involved. ON BURNT HILL. Hody of the Lnte Hon. James G. Blaine to De Hurled In 3Isvlne. AUGUSTA, Me., June 1. The body of the late Hon.

Comus. The marines went ashore In themost perfect "order, as If limply for a land-ing drill, and quickly drove th rioters ictohiding. Commandant Palmer cheerfullygave up the custom house, railroad depot,cars, locomotives and merchandise, etc., toLieut. A. C. Baker, U. S. N-- . taking thelatter's receipt for the property and thenthe commandant (an insurgtnt official) re-tired into private life once more.

By order of Lieutenant Baker the flag cfNicaragua was asrain hoisted to th iiag-eta- ff

in front of the custom house, and thestars and stripes were hoisted on the flag-staff at the northeast side of the customhouse. The British flag was hoisted byLieutenant Lewin, of the Comus, on thesouth si3e of the building and also on thewest end of the railroad station. A squadof marine?, under a lieutenant and two mid-shipmen, was Etationed at the office of theUnited States consular eqrent, who Is alsothe consular agent for EngUnd and for Italy.Lieut. J. V. Dodd, U. 8. N., was In com-mand of the United States marines 'ashore,and he soon had the custom house officethoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Hethen quartered his men as comfortably aspossible, posted sentries and got the signalcorps in working order.

During time Lieutenant Baker, ofthe Alert, and Lieutenant Lewin, cf theComus, with squads of marine, hurriedthrough the town, releasing the citizens whohad barricaded themselves in terror, fromtheir house, closing all the liquor ahops anadisarming all the ciScers and soldiers of theinsurgent army who could be cornered. Inless than half an hour after the marineslanded perfect order and peace prevailedin Corinto and the residents hurried to be-de- a'c

themselves in holiday attire, in honorof their gallant rescuers. Captair. Dykeand Commander Hanford then came ashoreand, together, inspected the posts occupiedby the marines. They received the heartythanks of the citizens arhore and of therefusee.i who had been,-i- n as much dangeras the inhabitants.

The wires having been cut no telephone ortelegraphic communication could be hadwith Corinto, Chinandega and Leon, andthe railroad track had been injured at sev-eral places between Chlnandega and Leon,rendering travel extremely difficult and slow.As there Is no cable station at Corinto theAmerican and British commanders were un-able to communicate wiuv their respectivegovernments before landing the marines.

During the afternoon Mr. Talazio sent amessenger to Chinandega to notify the com-mander of the Honduran troops there thattha situation at Corinto had - become soalarming as to necessitate the landing ofAmerican and British marines, and that thegsrt was occupied by them. In the evening

Metuta, of Honduras, and abouteighty soldiers arrived at the outskirts ofCorinto and sent forward a messenger de-manding the surrender of the cusom house,railroad station and port immediately, andthat the marines return to their Ships.Lieutenant Baker received the message andsent a reply asking for a written requestfrom President Zelaya or some official of hisgovernment competent to represent him.General Metuta evidently had no such au-thority and he returned to Amayia highlyoffended, after writing Lieutenant Baker anote, full of self-eulog- y, telling of his great-ness and pointing out what pigmies allother persons are when compared to him.

IN A TRAP.At about 11 o'clook In the morning on

May 3 General Metuta again appeared atCorinto with about eighty Hondurans andproceeded toward the custom house. But,when he reached the west end of the rail-road station, he was halted by a Britishmarine sentry and the Honduran. soldierswere ordered Into a narrow street betweenthe walled up south side of the station anda high plank fence, a position which placedthem almost directly under the rifles of adotatchment of British marines who occu-pied the upper veranda of the custom houseand also opposite to and within 600-ya- rd

range of the six-Inc- h breech-loade- rs andrapid-fir- e guns of the Comus.

General Metuta, after a parley with theyoung lieutenant in command of the Brit-ish marlnee, was allowed to pa&s with somecf .his aids to 'the headquarters of Lieuten-ant Baker, of the Alert. There he statedhe had come with authority from GeneralBonilla, Vice President of Honduras andcommander of the Honduran allies of Presi-dent Zelaya, of Nicarragua, to occupy theproperty of the government of Nicaragua,etc.

It was not then known In Corlnto whatgreat outrages the-Hhi- rr sMdiers hadcommitted on women, aid girls at El Veyjo,nor was it known that they had destroyeda great deal of property while occupyingthat place during the past two months, orGeneral Metuta's reception might not havebeen as pleasant as it was. However,Lieutenant Baker signalled for CommanderHanford and Captain Dyke, who soon ar-rived at the custom house. For an houror so they patiently listened to Metuta'sbluster, but when he threatened to occupyCorinto without waiting for President Zel-ya- 's

orders, although the latter was onlyabout thirty miles away, the American andBritish commanders decided to teach theHondurans a lesson.

A few sharp orders were given, and theAmerican and British marines, fully armedand equipped, wero drawn up. at their dif-ferent stations ashore, the Alert was sig-naled to steam up to and opposite the cus-tom house, and the Comus cleared foraction. These preparations had a calmingeffect on General Metuta. He bean toapologize as energetically as he had atiirst attempted to bluff, promised to retirewith his troops if the American and Britishcommanders would permit him. Finally Itwas agreed that General Metuta and hissoldiers should be allowed to come in outof the hot, tropical sun and roost upstairsin the telegraph ofUces at the northwestcorner of the custom-hous- e square. Butthey were warned to keep quiet and. to be-have themselves until advices wero receivedfrom President Zelaya.

A train at about 6 p. m. arrived at Cor-into from Chinandega, bringing about sixtyNicaraguan soldiers, under General EmelloHlerrera, with a letter from General Aure-liu- s

Estrada, a close personal friend ofPresident Zelaya, and commander-gener- al

of the civil department of the republic. Theletter was addressed to the JJnlUd Statesconsul at Corlnto, notifying him that Gen-eral Hlerrera had been appointed com-mander at Corlnto and assuring him andthe commanders of the United States andBritish warships that Hlerrera was an hon-est, cool, prudent and reliable man, whowould protect life and property and thatCorinto might be turned over to him withsafety as the representative of tho legalgovernment of Nicaragua.

General Bonilla, Vice President of Hon-duras, also reached Corinto by the sametrain and, at the conference with Com-mander Hanford, Captain Dyke and Gen-eral Hlerrera, apologized for the .conduct ofGeneral Metuta. Terms were agreed on,and at about 8 o'clock in the morning ofMay 4 Corlnto was turned over to theNicaraguan force.

When Presldnt Zelaya was Informed ofthe occurrence tie at once telegraphed hisapproval to the American legation at Mana-gua, with his thanks, and late; telegraphedan invitation to Commander Hanford andCaptain Dyk? and their officers to visitManagua and enjoy the hospitality of thegovernment of Nicaragua.

(Copyright, 1S0G, by the Associated Press.)MANAGUA, Nicaragua, May 14, via New

York, June 1. In view of the fact that thegovernment controlled the wires at the time,the correspondent of the Associated Presshas been compelled to send by mall thefollowing account of the landing", on May2, at Corlnto, of a force of about one hun-dred American and British marines fromthe United States cruiser Alert and the Brit-ish cruiser Comus, who, acting in the mostperfect harmony, occupied that port andprotected, until May 4, the property of for-eigners In the custom house and at the rail-road station, subduing a riotous and drunkenmob which threatened to cause the mostserious disturbances.

"

During the recent revolution In Nicara-gua there were remarkable Instances of thelawless manner In which so-call- ed ministersof provisional governments can act whenthey have the opportunity. For instance,about March 24, Samuel Mayorsa, who wasMinister for the Treasury In the Baca, orrevolutionary government, made a demand-o- n

Mr. II. S. Harding, an English subject,controller of the branch at Leon of the Lon-don Bank of Central America, for a loan of$S0,00O or about 133,000 of Nicaragua bond3 ofdoubtful ownership, threatening to withdrawprotection from the bank if the demand wasnot complied with within a given time. Mr.Harding succeeded in z taving the matter offuntil he managed to have letters deliveredsecretly to Commander Franklin Hanford,of the United States cruiser Alert, then theonly war ship at the port of Corlnto, and tothe United States consular agent at Corlnto,Mr. Henry Palarlo. Commander HanfordImmediately assured Mr. Harding that hewould resist any effort to take by force theproperty of citizens of the United States orof subjects of foreign governments in friend-ly relations with the United States. Com-

mander Hanford sent this letter by theUnited States consular agent, who tookprompt action and succeeded in saving themoney of the English bank from the Nicara-guan.om'cla- ls.

while, at the same time, clear-ly showing the insurgents that the propertyof foreigners could not be interfered with.

On April 16 Minister Mayorga issued adecree, . in the name of the revolutionarygovernment, declaring that the officers andbooks of the custom house at Corlnto wereto foe at once removed to Leon, the capitalof he"T0ltIona?yTe"renCv situatedabout thirty miles in . the Interior, addingthat "owing to the fact that the troops ofHonduras (sent to assist the force' of Presi-dent Daca's troops at Corlnto and seize themillions of dollars' worth of merchandiseIn the custom house belonging to citizens ofNicaragua and to foreigners, as they hadrobbed private dwellings and stores in. thetown of Elviejo, twenty-fiv- e miles fromCorlnto.) Samuel Mayorga, Minister of theTreasury, had gone to Corlnto with railroadtrains in order to remove the merchandise,belonging largely to foreigners, fromthe custom house of Corlnto toLeon. It was evident, however,that the real object of Mayorga's movewas to obtain possession of this property andhold it as security for a war loan. Theforeigners protested to Commander Hanfordand to Capt. Henry H. Dyke, of the Britishcruiser Comus, which had arrived at Corlntoabout April 5.

THE MINISTER ENRAGED. ,

The American and British commandersdecided that they would not allow tho in-

surgents to take possession of tha propertyof foreigners in the custom house or rail-road depot at Corlnto. As the latter build-ings were within six hundred yards of thegun3 of the two war ehlpa tbey were atleast as safe as if the property was at LeonThis enraged Minister Mayorga so muchthat- - he caused the arrest of all nativemales in Corlnto between the ages of sev-enteen and seventy years on the plea thata great battle was imminent at Momotombo.After detaining them on the railroad carsfor a few hours Mayorga released all thosewao could pay .htm from $100 to cashand returned to Leon with the other unfor-tunate inhabitants of Corlnto, without giv-ing any receipt for the money collected,but declaring that he would return again toCorlnto. This he did on, May 1, when hisparty disbanded and sought safety in flight,with ponalderable sums of money extortedfrom the people of Nicaragua. They es-caped to Guatemala in a small, schooner,the commanders of the American and Brit-Lf-a

war ships having no authority to arrestthem. But their flight showed the necessityof protecting the property of foreigners tobe greater than ever.

Although the chief of the Insurgentparty succeeded in escaping, a great num-ber of the officers and solJieTS of the insur-gent army, with their arms, flocked to Co--rinto In the hope of getting out of the coun-try, but were unable to get away owing tolack of means. The disappointed soldiersbecame reckless after their leaders desertedthem, and began drinking and rioting. Someof them succeeded in crossing the esftuaryand made for the woods. Others commencedrobbing houses and threatening the lives ofeverybody of the law and order class atCorlnto. Women were insulted, and an at-tack on the custom house was planned.

The native commandants and the handfulof police at the port were utterly Impotent,and, at about 9 o'clock in the morning ofMay 2, the commandants, at the request ofthe peaceful residents, sent a committee toChinandaga with a letter to Manuel Bonilla.Vice President of Honduras, who was incommand of the troop of that republicsent to support President Zelaya.' SonorBonilla was at El Vayko, and when he re-ceived the "request from Corinto to send aforce to protect the port he promised tocomply. There was considerable delav, andthe few policemen sent did not reach Co-rlnto until 7 p. m., which would have beentoo late to save the custom house and itscontents, although Chinandaga is only abouttwenty-tw- o miles from Corinto.

While the committer was away the mostserious disorders broke out at Corinto. Thedisbanded &olilers, seeming to be-- insanewith drink, violated .women and younggirls and began gathering about the customhouse. Palmer, the commandant of thecustom houe, hurried a written request forprotection to Mr. Henry Palazio, the UnitedStates consular agent, requesting the lat-ter to appeal for help to the commandersof the (American and British war ships inport, the Alert and Comus, asking them toland men and take charge of the iort andprotect the persons and property of Nicara-guan- s

and foreigners and of the govrn-me- nt

of Nicaragua until the government ofI resident Zelaya could send troops.MARINES LANDED.

Commander Hanford and Captain Dykeagain consu'tej and decMei to comply withthe request. Both of these officers had beenashore, and from personal knowledge wereaware of the terrible state of affairs exist-ing. Consequently, at about 1 p. m. on May2, a force of about 100 marines, commandedby four officers and a number of midship-men, were landed from the Alert aad the

Colonel Washington, In cross exarnlnlnaCoroner Tingley, asked many strictly tech-ni- cal

medical questions touching on coagula-tion of the blood, the formation of the airin the lungs, and a score or more of tech-nical questions on the human anatomy andthe intricate workings of the human system.He asked:

"Could you tell whether the person youexamined died from an arterial hemorrhajaor not?"

"Excepting that the arteries were cut."Was that alir :

"About a gallon.""Colonel Washington here took the witness."What did you do with that fascinator?""I gave it to Sheriff Piummcr.""Was it clean 7""Yes, it looked clean."Photographer. Joseph Claris testified to

taking several pictures of the body of PearlBryan at White's morgue, and identified theghastly pictures In court as the ones he badtaken. Colonel Nelson then offered the pic-tures 4n evidence, and each Juror looRed a4the pictures Intently. Colonel Washingtonmadef no objection to them. The hcrriblopictures seemed to have no outward effe-r- t

on the Jury, although they were of the moatghastly nature, being reproductions of theimurdered girl's body as it lay on the s!atIn the morgue.

EASTERN" DEMOCRATS WILL FIGHTHARD FOR A COMPROMISE.

They Will Attempt to Make the Ratio20 to 1, or, Falling In This, to

Have None Fixed.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.WASHINGTON, June 1. The complete vie-to- ry

of the free-silv- er Democrats In Ken-tucky 13 conceded In Washington to be thedeath knell of all hopes held by Mr. Cleve-land that the sound-mone- y men might con-

trol the Chicago convention. It is nq longera question of passing a sound-mone- y resolu-tion, but merely a fight by the sound-mone- y

men to prevent the free-silv- er majority fromruthlersly sweeping everything before it. Itis no secret here that certain members ofthe 'Cabinet are Inwardly rejoicing at thecrushing defeat of Secretary Carlisle,amounting, as It does, to his absolute repu-diation by his own. State. . For some timecertain members of Mr. Cleveland's councilhave been compelled to swallow tho Presi-dent's angry taunts at their lack of influ-ence in their own States. Secretary Herbertwas swept away in Alabama; Postmaster-gener- al

Wilson went to his political death InWest Virginia; Secretary Smith has failed tohold Georgia; Secretary Morton could onlyorganize a bolt In Nebraska. Time aftertime they were told, to regard Kentucky andlearn there how a really strong man couldcarry his State, even against fearful odds.Secretary Carlisle was held up constantlyas a model. Hence the Secretaries who havehad "Carlisle" dinned Into their ears areto-d- ay accepting the result la Kentuckywith more than resignation.

Now, while the victory of free sliver inKentucky means that the silver men willcontrol the Chicago convention, it would bea premature assumption to claim that theDemocratic platform will come out openlyfor free and unlimited coinage of sliver atthe ratio of 16 to L A Democratic Senator;whose past services and present leadershipIn his party make his statements of value,said to the Journal correspondent this after-noon: "The result In Kentucky settles thequestion as to which policy will control theconvention, but I feel certain that the plat-form will not promise free coinage at 16 to 1,

just as I feel certain that your platform atSt. Louis will not promise gold monometal-lism. The free-silv- er men at Chicago willdemand a 16-to--l plank, but they will bemade to yield. It' Is my belief that the Chi-

cago platform, while a silver platform, willsay nothing of a ratio; certainly It will notfix as low, a ratio as IS to L Possibly 20 to1 may be named, but I do not expect to seeany definite' statement on that point. - Foryou must Temember that (while the free-silv- er

men will have the majority, there willbo between two hundred and three hundredsound-mone- y men, and we do not proposethat the free-silv-er men shall ride rough-shod over us. The East, you must remember,will line up solidly for sound money, and wewill be able to force concessions. They arestrong enough to build the platform, butthey cannot nominate a man to stand onthat platform without our votes. I thinkyou will see that the Chicago platform willnot declare for free silver at IS to L"

The Coliseum Building; Tested.CHICAGO, June 1. The Coliseum building,

at Qixty-thlr- d street and Stony Island ave-nue, in which the Democratic NationalConvention Is to be held, was thrown opento the public to-da- y. Buffalo Bill, with hiscowboys, rDronchos, Indians and other socialbright lights from the West and his aggre-gation of rough riders from sundry ends ofcreation, had the honor of drawing the firstcrowd in the building, ard they drew onesufficiently large to prove the building willaccommodate in splendid shape any crowdthat may gather to watch the work of thepoliticians. The work of choosing a(residential nominee by a great po-itic- alf party transcends the anticsof a pack of bucking bronchos indignity, importance and all other thingssave one, and that Is drawing power. Asmany people may come to hear the oratorsas came to-nig- ht to listen to the "You-you- "

of the Indians, but no more; not Intothe Coliseum building. It will not holdmore. The crowd to-nig- ht was a tester forany building and it was able to enter andleave tho place with a facility and comfortwhich proves that the building is all thatits builders have claimed for it.

Chairman Harrity. of the Democratic na-tional committee, watched the Indians, thebuffalo and the bronchos to-nig- ht, and in-cidentally took notes concerning the build-ing. He expressed himself as more thansatisfied with it, and said: "Tho show isall right, too."

OALT LAKE CITY, Utah. June L It Isbelieves that Rev. Francis Hermans, the al-leged murderer of OIIss Clausen and others,has been located. G. M. Nolan, an employeof the California . Wine Company, declareshe met Hermans in his recent travels andwas on a railroad train with him two days.From the description given he is certain hehas mada no mistake in the man. For thepurpose of securing the reward Nolan leftthis city last night accompanied by two of-

ficers to make the arrest. He will not saypositively to what point he Is but Itis believed to be some place in the wilds ofIdaho. He cays Hermans will be found ata point seventy miles from railroad or tele-graph communica'tion.

The. St. Paul Globe contains this Interest-ing sketch of pastor Francis Ilerznans'slife: The disappearance of Rev. FrancisHermans from Salt Lake City and the sus-picion of murder attached to his namecaused no j small amount of excitementamong the ministers of the Norwegian-Danis- h

Methodist Conference, now In session inSt. Paul, among whom Dr. Hermans wasnot unknown. The feeling seems to bedivided as to the possibility of the missingpreacher's guilt, though tho majority leantoward the theory that. In the face of suchstrong evidence, and the fact that uglyrumors have before been connected with hiscame, his Innocence is douotful. Rev. Fran--,exs Hermans has many acquaintances amongthe Scandinavians of the Twin Cities, hav-ing: come to Minneapolis hi 1S31, through theInstrumentalities of Elder Rev. Jacobson, ofthat city, in whose residence Hermans liasbeen regarded almost as a member of thefamily.

Six years a so He v. Jacobscn went to Nor-way. On the voyage he became acquaintedwith a clergyman whose prepossessing ap-pearance and winsome manners attractedgeneral attention. Rev. Jacobson becameinterested in the man and when he learnedthat his new acquaintance was at the headof the Seamen's 2ll3sion at Glasgow, Scot-.an- d,

he became anxious to learn somethingmore regarding him. That clergyman wasFrancis Herman?, a Swede by birth, but aprominent worker for the mission museether countries besides his own. notablyFrance, where he was the proprietor of .axtenalve tailors' home, and in Scotia-wher- e

he resided, and, a already sta.ipresided over the Seamtn's .Mission at ii'.u- -

National Meettnsr oil the TravelersProtective Association Will Havo

Six Hundred Delegates.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.TERRE HAUTE. Ind., June 1. There will

be six hundred delegates In the national con-

vention of the Travelers' Protective Asso-ciation which - meets here to-morr- ow

and it is expected that fifteenhundred or two thousand more mem-

bers of this, the only national organizationof commercial travelers, will be here to-morr-ow

evening to take part In the Illuminatedparade. The annual conventions are madean occasion for a week's reunion and a gen-

eral good time and the T. P. A. men willbe dropping In during the week if only for aday. The city Is being ehVborately decoratedand tihe illuminated parade to-morr-ow hasbeen arranged on a big scale.

The election of John C. Wilkinson as pres-ident, which had been assured, has beenupset by Mr. Wilkinson's withdrawal. Ithas always been conceded that the Missouridivision should name tho president becausethe headquarters were formerly located inthat . State. Mr. Wilkinson has decided thathis business affairs and his health will notpermit him to accept. Col. John A. Lee hasserved three years and announced that hewould not be a candidate for a fourth term,but since Mr. Wilkinson's withdrawal hehas consented .nd he will be elected withoutopposition. He is the editor of the Inter-state Grocer, published in St. Louis, and Isa member of the Board of Police Commis-sioners in that city.

The most important question to come be-

fore the convention is that of railroad rates.The T. P. A. was organized for the purposeof securing better railroad rates, improvedhotel accommodations and legislation ' onmatters in which the commercial , worldmight fce interested. It was mostly throughIts efforts that the railroads Issued the In-

terchangeable mileage books which recentlywere abandoned by the companies. The T.P. A. men think the railroads are treatingthem unfairly in the matter by making Itappear that traveling men have been dealingwith 'scalpers and that therefore the bookshad come Into misuse. The traveling menhad agreed to most any measure of. pre-caution in this" regard, but the traffic asso-ciation does not seem willing to give themthe books. The abuse of them according tothe Taellef of the traveling men, was dueto the acts of the railroad companies them-selves, as the scalpers bought them directfrom the agencies. The feeling of resent-ment towards the railroads has been in-creased by their refusal to grant special ex-cursion rates for the convention. Severalhundred men in Decatur and Peoria wantedto come here to-morr- but no better ratethan one fare for the round trip could besecured. At the same time the companiesare making rates at less than that for ex-cursions to St. Louis. The traveling mensay that they patronize the railroads theyear around, whereas the St. Louis excur-sions are patronized by persons who neverride on the roads except on some cheap ex-cursion.

It is probable that the convention willstart a movement for legislation In the tev-er- al

States in the middle West for a gen-eral rate of 2 cents a mile for all personsand for all distances.

The convention 'will be called to order to-morrow morning in the opera house, whenan address of welcome on the part of theState will be made by Governor M,atthws,and on the part of the city by Mayor Boss.CoL R. W. Thompson is also expected toadd to the welcome. The afternoon sessionwill be for association business. There willbe sessions Wednesday and Thursday morn-ings.

The ladles Who accompany the visitors tothe city will be met at the hotels by com-mittees of Terre Haute ladles and to-morr- ow

morning will be guests at the TerreHaute Club. Wednesday morning theywill toe taken riding by a com-mittee of ladles. Wednesday night therewill be a special vaudeville perform-ance at Harrison Park, one of the perform-ances being dancing by Miss Fuller, a sisterof "La Loie," who will use the lights andapparatus used by the slater in the danceswhich have made her famous. Thursdaythere will toe racing and athletic sports atthe fair grounds and that night there willbe a banquet and dancing at the TerreHaute House. Friday morning a Fpeclaltrain will carry all who want to make thetrip to Put-in-Ba- y, going by the way ofDayton over the Panhandle, and to Toledo.Saturday evening the excursionists will goby boat to Detroit, where they will remainuntil Sunday night, returning to Toledo byboat and back here, or so many of themwhose convenience it will be to return tothis city, Monday morning.

lowing June and 10.538 last June. The re-ports this week will show a membership ofabout 12,000. For the year ending: June, 1S93,

After Rev. Jacobson's visit to Norway heagain made a brief call upon Rev. Hermansat his Scotland home, during which thelatter expressed a strong desire to come overto America. Jacobson agreed to bear hiscase in mlnd and immediately upon his re-turn to the Untied States, laid Herman'scase before the various church authoritieshere. But at the time no place could befound for him. A year later, however. Rev.Tollefson, of Minneapolis, decided to leavehis charge, and Rev. Hermans wras sent for.He came and at once took charge of Rev.Toilefson's congregation, over which he pre-sided for about six months, after whichhe removed to West Superior. Meanwhile,Hermans, who claimed having been awidower while In Scotland, had married aMiss Bertha Wangea, of Minneapolis. Thestory goes among Ids friends that the wifeproved to "be of unsound mind, which con-dition grew worse after the removal of thecouple from Minneapolis to West Superior,and in February, 1S92. It was decided tosend her to the insane asylum. Death, how-ever,: came., to hw. relief a fev hours prevlous.to the time set for her removal. Ayear afterward he married a Miss t.omen,of Iowa, the ceremony being performed inMinneapolis. Rev. Hermans continued toreside at West Superior until the fall of1883. when he removed to Salt Lake City,Utah, where his wife died shortly after-ward.

About four weeks ago Rev. Hermans wasin St. Paul and Minneapolis on a tour ofthat country., soliciting and collecting meansfor his Salt Lake City church, for which hewas duly authorized toy the bishops. Hewent from here to West Superior, returnedto the Twin Cities, and then left for Chicago,from where word was received of him inSt. Paul from Mr. Hansen, of Chicago, thebook agent of the Norwegian-Danis- h church;and also from editor Hagensen, of DenChrlstelige Ta'smand. Rev. Hermans is ashort, heavy-s- et man, of light complexion,sandy hair, and wears gold-bow- ed glasses,being somewhat near-sighte- d.
