UNITED STATES COURT Half Moon Alleged Post Of- fice Burglars Acquitted. ASSISTANT BDLICOR OF THE Go- ~WANDA | HERALD UP FOR ALLEGED PERJIURY-LOYE, THE DEFAULTING CASHIBR WILL BEB SENTENCED Rochester, May 14.-In the United States District Court yesterday James Casey and John Stuart, accused of burg- lnrizing the postoflice at Half Moon, Suratoga County, last January, were acquitted. 'The case of Wilke R. E, Collins, assist- ant editor of the Gowanda Herald, charged with perjury, was adjourned wntil this morning. Mr. Collins is ac- cused of having, with malicious intent, gone before United States Circuit Com- missloner Hazeltine, of Jamestown, and making an affidavit hat Victor E. Armes ivdruggist at Gowanda, had sold liquor to Indians. He also swore that he had himself purchased whiskey from Armes and had drunk it on the premises wliich Indians also did. Armes was up before the Commis- sloner on May ist, 1895, and was ac- quitted of the charge. The Indians men- tioned, together with a dozen others, testified that they had received no liquor from Armes. Proceedings were immediately begun against Collins for perjury in making the affidavit. There are a score of swarthy Indians in court. Milton F. Brown of Buffalo and Louis H, Juck of this city, are the attorneys for the defendant,. BESPICABLE ACT. e FEMALES WHO WOULD LIKE 'O BE KNOWN AS LADIES STEAL PLANTS AND FLOWERS. If there is any act thit robs a young or old man or woman of the claim to be gontlemen or ladies that act is to steal peoples plants and flowers. -_ Bétter might they sneak into the houses and steal ,clothing or money, than to rob one of what they take par- ticular pride in and which represents hours of labor and careful nursing to produce from mother earth, namely the flowers and plants that are set out with great pring to beautify the lawns of our citizens rich and poor alike. It is not the monetary value of the plants but the thought that there is in this city anyone who has the least pre- tonslons of decency or knowledge what is due their fellow creatures as to break down and steal the fruits of their toil; let there be no misunderstanding it is stealing and stealing of the meanest and | most despicable kind. Some young (no not Indies) and youths went to the yard of Miss Carney on Genesee Street last evening and were about to take plants, pot and all right off the' front stoop, the girls more is thepity being more bold than the boys, and when they found that they were discovered they dropped 'the plants and as they ran out of the yard grabbed Lilacs and broke down the bushes. A horrible example will be made of any one, male or female, who is caught at this business and bitter teary will be the shane of some of these bold young women? The Big Show Coming.

WORK OF COMMITTEES THE PRINCIPAL WORK OF THE DAY. UZEVELAXD, May 14. -At the Methodist conference the comunittee on Episcopacy decided to recommend to the conference that Bishops Bowman and Foster be de- clared noneffective, wh'ch is equivalent to retirements, and that three new bishops be elected. Bishop Bowman is 80 years old, Bishop Foster T6 and Bishop Taylor 70. The committee decided to recommend that one of the new bishops be a man of African descent. The candidate of the colored delegates is Rev. Dr. Bowen of Gammon Theological institute. It was also decided to recommend the continu- ance of the missionary conferences in Af- ricn and India and to have two confer- ences instead of one. The committee consolidation of benevo- lences approved the proposed union of the tract and missionary societies, but oppos- ed the combining of the board of educa- tion and the Freedman's Aid society. Tho revisal committee ordered that thore be presented to the conference a rule requiring that one of the first questions asked in examining candidates for licen:es as local preachers must bo that regarding the uso of tobacco, so framed that a prom- ise to wholly abstain will be necessary. The plan of establishing funds for su- peranuated ministers in quarterly confer- ences is being considered by the temporal economy committee. The temperance committee is in the midst of a hot fight on a long series of resolutions which those who oppose them declare would tis the church to the Pro- hibition party. Cuban Question Considered, WASHINGTON, May 14. - The greater part of the time of the mecting of the sen- ate committee on foreign relations was devoted to consideration of Senator Mor- gan's joint resolution recognizing the belligerency of the Cubans bus action was postponed until the next meeting. Mr. Morgan explained at some length his rea-, eon for offering the resolution in a form which would, ifit sliould be adopted by congress, require the action of the presi- dent, saying he fels the time had arrived when the American government as a whole should declare 'its position. He laid stress upon the condition of Ameri- can citizens in Cuba and urged that re tion should be taken on this if on no other account. Nothing developed to indicate what position the committee may take on the resolution. American Tract Society. » NEW YORK, May 14. -At the annual meeting of the American Tract society a motion was adopted reconsidering the action of the special committee in 1887 in combining the business and benevolent departments of the society. The union of the two departments was dissolved by an almost unanimous vote. General O. O. Howard was elected president of the soci- ety, and Rev. R. S. McArthur of New York was chosen vice president.

THE YOUNG MAN UPON HEARING HER DECISION, DREW A REVOL- VER AND ENDED HIS LIFE-THE YOUXG LADY PROSTRATED WITH GRIEF. AUBURN, N. Y., Weddigen, assistant financial clerk of the state senate, shot himself at the home of William E. Webster, in. this city. Waddigen was in love with Miss Belle Webster and it is thought that his suicide was because she had rejected his proposal of marriage. He was about 21 years old and had been keeping company with Miss Webster about a year. He went to her house and during a talk with Miss Webster threatened to kill himself. She left the room and called her sister, who ran to the room and saw Weddigen place a pistol to his head and fire. 'The ball entered the right tem- ple and death will result. Weddigen is a son of F. A..Weddigen of Thropsville. p Further Details of the Tragedy. ROCHESTER, May 14.-Details of Wed- digen's suicide have been received as fol- lows: . Mr. Weddigen made a proposal of mar- riage to Miss Webster which she refused, as she is already engaged to a student in the University of Pennsylvania, There- upon 'Weddigen threatened to commit suicide. Miss Webster pleaded with him to do nothing rash, but it was unavailing. She ran screaming from the room and to the nearest neighbor's, whereupon she went 'iuto hysterics. A sister ran into the room and found Weddigen standing against a sofa, with a revolver pressed against his temple. She cried to him, \Charlie don's shoot,\ but & pistol shot immediately rang through the house. Weddigen fell backwards, striking his head against a chair, while the blood spurted freely upon the carpet and furnicure. ' A physician was summoned and upon his arrival it was found that the ball had penetrated the brain through the right temple and had flattened on the inner! side of the skull on the left side. JiAfter working over the unfortunate lover for some time the physicians found they could not restore the man to con- sciousness and gave up hope of his recov- ery. Weddigen died at the City hospital later in the evening without regaining consciousness. Attention was then given to Miss Web- ster who was found to be wildly delirious and in a very precarious condition. Her condition is still very critical. Weddigen has served two terms in the assembly as assistant financial. clerk and ia widely known throughout the state. He was born in this city in 1873. About seven years ago he removed with his par- ents to Throop where he has since resided. Coroner Tripp decided that an inquest was unnecessary. FIVE YEARS' IMPRISONMENT.

R United States Legation Ablaze. Moscow, May 14.-Fire was discovered in the house on the Rojdestvenski boule- vard, where the American legation is lodged for the purpose of attending the ceremonies of the coronation of the czar.

' a May 14.-Charles A. TODAYS conVENTIOns Republican Party Assem- bles In Three States. WEST VIRGINIA M'KINLEY. COLORADO REPUBLICANS IN- DoRgE SENATOR TELLER, BUT wit xorasabpvocstmr a Bout WD ST. LOUIS-LILVELY PIGHT ON IN XORUH CAROLINA. CLARKSBURG, W. Va, May 14.-The Republican state convention which met here today to elect delegates at large to the St. Louis convention, is one of the largest Republican gatherings that ever nssombled in West Virginia. Every train brought additions to the throng. The First district convention having set the pace, there is now little. doubt that the state convention will instruct for Mc- Kinley. 'There are McKinley loadets. who have advised against this as it avill vio- late the policy of the Republicans of West Virginia, heretofore pursued, and because they deer: unnécessary to instruct. But McKinley enthusiasm is so strong that it wou sweep the sonven{'m and these genvlemeon will be forced to acqui- esce. In this respect no more remarkable convention was ever held in any state. The convention, because of this, is sure to be harmonious with lots of enthusiasm on top. ' The platform will declare for McKinley, protection, reciprocity and sound money. It will also, in strong terms, declare for Senator Elkins' bill for a discriminating duty on all foreign goods imported in other than American vessels The four delegates at large to be elected 'will prob- ably be O. W. O. Hardman of Tyler coun- ty, Eugene Hanna of Kanwana county, A. B. White of Parkersburg and F. M. Rey- nolds of Mineral county. The First. district Republican conven- tion. met here and elected delegates to the | St. Louis convention. Resolutions were unanimously adopted declaring for protec- tion and sound money and instructing the. delegates to vote for McKinley. 'The del- egates chosen were Henry Schmulbach of Wheeling and. Dan W. Boughner of Clarksburg. ' Colorado All For Teller. PUEBLO, May 14.-Present indications are that Senator Teller will be indorsed by formal resolution this afternoon by the Republican state convention and will be. chosen by acclamation to head the delega- tion to St. Louis. Free coinage and protection will be the declared cardinal principles of the Repub- lican factions in this state, but no in- |' structions for any candidate for the presi- dency will be given. There is little likelihood that the'con- vention will instruct the Colorado dele- gates to bolt the St. Louis convention if a gold standard plank is adopted and aman in harmony with such view nominated. Senator Teller's friends and supporters will have entire control of the convention, but conservative leaders do not interpret his utterances as favoring a bolt. Senator Wolcott, it is' said, will either be overlooked in the resolutions or in- dorsed merely as to his fight for silver. North Carolina Republicans. RALEIGH, May 4.-The biggest crowd ever present at a Republican state con- vention in North Caroling is now in Ral- eigh. < The contest for nomination for governor is very bitter between ex-Judge Russell and ex-Ropresentative Dockery: Both claim enough votes to nominaté, though itis doubtful if there will be a nomination on the first ballot.. It will | require 181 votes to nominate. Colonel James E. Boyd has 30 votes, State Sena- tor Moody 16 and V. S. Lusk 6 votes. There is a warm contest for chairman of the state committee, for which Senator Pritchard and Chairman Holton aré the candidates. Holton is a Reed man and Pritchard the leader of the MgKinley forces. - £400 Iowa Prohibitionists Meet. - DES MOINES, May 14. -When the Prohi- bition state convention assembled here, Temporary Chairman J. A. Harvey spoke for two hours. He said the Republican party in Iown had bent everything in favor of Senator Allison and enacted the Mulct law in the interest of his presiden- tial candidacy. He accused the party of disloyalty to the people and called the church.-people. voting for the Republican nominces \pious frauds.\ He blamed the Republican party for the present inational . financial condition 'and said capitalists got the supreme court to declare thein- come tax unconstitutional. - Ticket Brokers In Session. BUFFALO, May 14.- The annual conven- tion of the American Ticket Brokers' as sociation opened in this, city, President Thomas H. Webb 'of Peoria, Ills., presid- ing. One hundred delegates were pres- ent. Itis generally believed by the dele- gates that an amalgamation will take place with the rival association, the Guar- anty Ticket Brokers' association. Chair- . man George McKenzie of the executive f committee in his report asked the con- vention to give authority to the commit- tee to oppose the operation of trusts and. pools which interfere with competition in passenger fares. This will mean a fight against the Joint Traffic association.
