states the Boston Transcript. At Paris,
the first horse butchery was opened on
July 9, 1860, and in that yoar 903 horses
,were slaughtered. Through seventeen
iyears the business stoadily increased, and

were consumed in the city. Ou January
1, 1889, the horse butcheries numbered
132. In other cities of France the output
of the horse butcheries is enormous.

horses were slaughlerei in 1888,
and the flesh was used exclusively for

has been appointed in St. Petersburg to

the introduction of cholera into Transcaspia
from Afghanistan. The committee
has resolved that the cordon
round the frontiers of Afghanistan and
Persia must be strengthened, and that
medical and sanitary supervision must be
established ou tho borders. It has even
discussed the propriety of sending a bacteriologist
to Herat, and it is tolerably
safe to predict that if such an officer is

upon the railroads of the Unite 1 Kingdom
has just been issued. From this it
appears that of 800,000,000 passengers
carried during the year only five wero
killed in accidents, the smallest actual
number and proportion recorded since
1873, when six were killed. The number
of passengers injured in accidents

Of inen employed by the railway 00m*

The Fourth Presidential Ticket Placed
In the Field. ? Scenes at the
Convention in Omaha.
Omaha.Nkb.?The first People's Party
Convention opened with prayer by Rev.
Wm. McCrcedy, of South Dakota. From
the committee on credentials came the
report th it there were no contests and 1,400
delegates hnd filed their credci tials.
Judge Robertson, of Texas, presented
the report of the committee on permanent
organization, naming II. L. Loucks,
of South Dakota, as permanent chairman,
aud John W. Hayes, of New Jersey, sec
retary-trcasurer of the Knights of Labor,
as chief secretary. The elections were
ratified with a yell, and Chairman Loucks
on being p escntcd received an enthusiastic
welcome. He is a one-legged
veteran and supported himself on his
crutches. Loucks announced, amid applause,
that he would dispense with a
speech and would content himself with
expressing the opinion that was the
greatest and grandest convention ever
held, not. only m this country hut in the
civilized world Hcwasnothnc of those
who believed that the rcnuhlir. wn? in
danger, so long as the people existed.
He congratulated tlie:n on the harmony
that pi\ vailed. There were no slates
fixed up for the convention; the nominee
would be the choice of the people and
not the choice of the machine eleuieut.
There was a long debate over a proposition
to admit soldiers who wore the
blue and the giay to the two thousand
or more of vacant scats, hut it was defeated
on the ground that it woul l bo a
violatiou of the contract with the citizens
of Omaha, who had retained the vacant
seats. The committee on resolutions re
ported a resolution authoiizing the chair
to appoint a committee of three to seek
redress from the managers of tlmse Western
roads that had failed to give special
rates to the delegates from the far west,
hut this was autcgonized by delegates
from California a> cl Montana. 'I he former
said that the roads had been asked
for special rules, the same as given to
Republican and Democratic conventions;
that they had be n refused; that they
had paid their way and asked no favors,
and that the time was not. far distant
when the people would own the Union

debate the resolution was so amended as
to instruct.the chair to appoint a committee
of three to prosecute the offending
roads before the Inter State Commerce
Commission, and iu this form it was

o'clock it was reported that the platform
would not be ready for several hours and
a recess wait takeu until 2 p. in.
The roll of States was hist called for
members of the new national committee
with the following results for the South
cm States:

At the afternoon session, while waiting
for a committee to respond, a Kansas
quartette brought down the house with a
campaign song, with the refrain, "Good
bye, old parties, good bye."
As the committee on platform was not
ready, accordingly W. R Lamb, of
Texas, moved that the convention re
adopt me 55t.. i.ouis plntionn and pro
ceed to nominations.
This was seconded in a vigorous speech
byv Brown, of Massachusetts, General
Weaver's recognized spokesman.
On Mr. Lamb's demand the secretary
began to read the St. Louis platform. It
was read, plank by plauk, bet Manning,
of Alabama, interrupted. Further debate
was stopped ut this juueture, just as
the convention was getting upuouiions,
by the appearance of the committee on
pin*form with its report, the body having
decided, iu view of the temper of the
convention, to throw overooarcl a score
of resolutions that had been submitted to
it for consideration. The convention
settled down into a dead calm, when C'af
Ar af f'n 11 fnrn 1 a tuao trrnenn fori n?.4 I
commenced to read the preamble. The
enthusiasm increased tenfold when the
speaker read a declaration to the effect
that the time had come when the railroads
would run the people, or the peopie
the railroads, and it was a couple of
minutes before order could be sufficiently
restored for the speaker to proceed.
Branch, of Georgia, moved the adoption
of the preamble, and it was adopted
by a rising vote with more cheering.
Cntor now gave way to Branch, who proceeded
to read the platform proper.
Cries of "amen" and cheers greeted the
plank in favor of government control of
all telegraph and telephone systems, and
wore repeated when the resolution was
finished. The entire preamble and platform
were put to another vote and adopted
by acclamation, amid another scene of
boisterous enthusiasm.
Gen. James G. Field, of Virginia, woa
nominated for Vice President on the first
ballot, the vote standing Field 788,Terrell
554.
THE THIHD PARTY STANDARD-BRA HER,
James B. Weaver was born in Dayton,
Ohio, June 12, 1888, and is a lawyer by
profession. He enlisted in the Federal
army as a private, and at the close of the
civil war was mustered out as n brevet
brigadier general. He served in Confrcss
from 1879 to 1881, was nominated
or the Presidency on the Greenback-Labor
ticket in 1880, and was returned k
Congress in 1885.
Branch, of Geojgia, chairman of the
committee, was lifted upon the shoulders
of a stalwart Texan and carried around
the hall, while men, women and children
ihouted themselves hoarae and waved
everything within reach. The banners
designating the locations of the various
delegations wero lifted high in the air, a
portrait of George Washington being attached
to the one of Virginia, and several
of the banners were carried to the platform
and uplifted over the chairman's
head. Meanwhile every one of the 10,000
souls in the great coliseum shouted and
roared and cheered,and hundredsofo therwise
cool-headed delegates, seized with a
freuzy, stripped themselves of coats, and
in some casis their vests, so that their
limbs would be more free. As if by magic
hundreds of stars and stripes made their
appearance all over the hall, while one of
immense size was borne up to the platform
and waved in triumph above all. A
towering Georgian actually climbed ou top
of the table. The band struck up the "Star
Spaugled Banner" but the din was so overpowering
that even tlio big bass drum
would not penetrate it.
When the demonstration had been going
on for fifteen minutes the chairmen
of the various State delegations took possession
of the State banners and headed
by a fife aud drum band proceeded to
march around the hall, making the complete
circuit a half Unwu nuar Or.
the second round an American flag was
attached to every banner, and the howls
and cheers took a fresh start, tho women
this time bearing their share. Numerous
mottoes were resurrected from the anteroom
and sandwiched in betwecu the
banners. One read, "What is home without
a mortgage?" Another "The people
will be damned uo longer." White haired,
feeble men tottered around with a flagon
each shoulder; fathers lifted their little
oucs, pickapack, and put a flag in their
hands. A mother wrapped her babe of
four months in a silk flag, and followed
in line. Somebody fouud a tin pail and
| it was hoisted upon the Texas banner, a
reminder of the Gresham tinpail campaign
in Chicago in 1888. One of the
Mississippi delegates hoisted a brawny
darkey ou his shoulders, and carried him
Up to thO speakd'a stand, <?UU? tlw a?l
ored man and brother waved (he stars and
stripes in one hand and a picture of Gresh
am in the other.
The baud,marshalling its forces in front
of the platform,started the familiar strain
of "Yaukec Doodle," alternating to
"Dixie," aud the throng giving its throat
vent kept time with its thousands of hands
and feet. It was a demonstra,;on that
entirely eclipsed the memorable Blaine
furor at Minneapolis iu point of enthusiasm,
noise aud striking situations as well
as in point of the number of those participating.
The convention then adjourned to 8
o'clock p. 111.
At the evening convention, on the first
bullot, Weaver was nomiuated for President.
DAVE SHAW'S STORY.
A "Murdernd" Miin Tell* Haw It
Came About.
Ghesnvim.b, S. C.?The fate of Dave
Shaw is no longer a mystery. 8haw slipped
quietly into the city, with two friends,
to seek the advice, of (I. T. Dill, his altor
noy, mid not a half dozen persons,including
those who accompanied him, knew of
his presence.
Shaw told the story ot" the eventful
night of May 27lh. lie was seized by n
mob of fifty u?en, many of them of prominence
and influence, and was tnkcu into
the woods and a rope put around his neck
to frighten him into a confession. He
was drawn up to a limb a number of
times, and lost consciousness. When he
regained consciousness he was pulled up
a number of times by the thumbs, a id
later was tied to a tree and unmercifully
beaten with a leather trace. Still he
made no confession, and the mob started
to a lake on Hecdy river, telling him
they would drown him. They lit a lantern
and gave it to him to carry with him
through the woods.
The mob had dwindled considerably,
ami when a deep gully was reached Shaw
threw the lantern into it and rau. lie
was familiar with the surroundings, and
escaped, not one of a shower of bullets
hitting him.
lie stayed in a swamp two days, and
then went to Ikdton and to Toccoa, Ga.,
where he remained until last week, when
lie returned. He has since been staying
with a relative, twenty-four miles below
here, in this countv. He d .cs uot want
even to go to Laurcus jail, as ho fears he
will be killed. It is not known what his
friends will advise him to do.
The Tiger Orowled.
From the Courier-Journal.]
In connection with the Chicago Convention
a good story is told on Mr. Charles
P. Weaver, President of the flandanna
Club Its trulh is not only vouche I for
by several veracious Louisville gentlemen,
but is also admitted by the vic-{
tim himself.
Placed upon the counter of the Auditorium
Ho el bar was a savage-looking
finer iu liioL Ilia Tammnno ennti iment Vtu/i
borrowed from a well-known Louisville
liquor dealer who was in Chicago at the,
time. Into this seductive ictreat strolled
Mr. Weaver with a fair following. The
sight of that tiger acted upon him as the
flaunting of a red flng Ireforo a ferocious
bull Taking off his Cleveland badge,l
Mr. Weaver boldly and audaciously shook
it under the nose of the brute, saying:!
"Oh, yes, you old snort; you old rascal,
this is the thing with which we will pull
some of tho e tine teeth in November."
Just at this critical moment the t>arten*
dcr reached behind him. ostensibly for a
glass, and in so doing pulled a firing connected
with the Tammany em lem.
Realistic as life the jaws of the beast
opened wideaud the eyes seemed to glare
more fiend ahly. "WoufI W-o-ufllr-rr-?h!ll"
were the sounds emanated in
that se|)u'chrnl, awe-inspiring cough
characteristic of the "maneAter." Mr.
Weaver leaped high and far enough to
make the building quake when he came
down with all his ponderous weight.
The fran'ic yells greeting the performance
seemed to him,in his dazed condition,
to be i lie wmning cry of a rescuing party.
It cost him $7. 80 to take the first Tammany
degree.
When at dinner some hours later hs
was asked if lie had been really frightened,
and ho candidly replied: "I pledge you
my word, I was neoly scared to death.
It was so threatening and unexpected

arcely less momentous than would resu't
om a revolution practically estab- |
ihing monarchy on tho ruins of the

lan the white; it means a horde of deputy
arshals at every polling place, nunod with

aw happily abated, of tho utmost peril to
le safety and happiness of all, a measure
?liberately and justly descrilw I by a lea 1ig
Republican Senator as "the most inimous
bill that ever crossed the threshold
'the Senate."
Such a policy, if sanctioned by law, would
can the dommanco of a self-perpetuating
igarohy of office holders, and the party
st intrusted with its machinery could bo
slodged from power only by utt appeal to
