I'lily Mob with Shotgun.
Racine, Wis., July 27. There was a
fight at Western Union Junction late
yesterday afternoon between a freight
train crew on the Chicago, Milwaukee
and St Paul and twenty-five tramps.
The trampu attempted to take posses
sion of the train and ride to Chicago.
The trainmen commenced kicking them
off. The tramps armed themselves with
stones and cut open the head or a
brnkeman and struck the conductor.
When the train started the tramps
again boarded the cars. The conductor
and a brakeman then started out with
two guns and banged away whenever
a tramp showed himself. The gang wasj
routed and tied Into the open fields. One
of them hadthls finger shut off and asec
ond one received a llesh wound In the
arm. The train proceeded to Chlcairj
without a tramp on board.
FORESAW HER DEATH IN A DREAM.
St. Louis Woman Warned of Her
Drowning in Knsle Lake, His.
Racine, Wis., July 27. The funeral of
Margaret E. O'Connor, the St. Louis
; woman drowned at Eagle Lake, took
place at St. Patrick's church this after
noon, and the body was forwarded to
Marysville, Mo., for burial.
The girl was well educated tyd kept a
diary of her life. A remarkable dream
was found written In the diary today
experienced by Miss O'Connor two
weeks before her death. The diary
said that last night she had the
strangest dream. She was somewhere,
she could not tell where; she saw the
waves of a lake; a child was In the
waves with a sweet and contented look
on Its face. She could not tell how the
waves affected her. Then she thought
she was the child In the waves and that
all was beautiful to her. The scenes
depicted in the dream are similar to
those on the shores of Eagle Lake,
where she lost her life by the capsizing
of a boat.
FREE SILVER DRIVES HIM CRAZV.
Illinois Man Argues Politics with a
Pair or Corn Knives.
Assumption. 111., July 27. Arthur Os
burn caused considerable excitement
among the citizens here early this
morning; by running about the street
with a corn knife In each hand, say
ing God had deputized him to perform
miracles and preach the gospel and
free sliver. He then went to h'a home,
smashed in the doors and (Windows and
demolished everything In reach, his
family taking refuse at neighbors.,
He was finally caught and taken to
Taylorvllle to appear before Judge
Grundy. About sixteen years ago h
went crazy on relic-ion, but was soon
pronounced cured. Free silver was the
cause this time.

H
CAREER OF FIERY
THOMAS WATSON
A Oliice at Some of the Characteristics
of the Populist Candidate.
STUDY OF BRYAN'S OTHER MATE
The Georgia Statesman an Ideal
Specimen of the Oratorical Wind
BagDelights in Abusing Demo
crat! and Raising a Row Whenever
Opportunity Is Offered.
Bureau of The Tribune,
Mo. 601 14th St., N. W..
Washington, July 27.
The most remarkable and pictur
esque national convention ever held was
the one which completed its labors or,
from all accounts, it was with much
labor that it finally adjourned at St.
Louis on Saturday last. The proceed
ings of this most peculiar gathering
were. composed principally of wind and
whiskers. If anything, wind predomi
nated, whiskers only lending plctur
esqueness to the occasion. The mong
rel ticket nominated Bryan and Wat
sonIs certainly a unique one. No
simoon or prairie storm every contained
quite so much wind as does this re
markable ticket, particularly the tall
end of It.
Tom Watson Is the biggest blather
skite that ever occupied a seat In either
branch of congress, with possibly the
exception of "Pitchfork" Tillman, one
of the present senators from South
Carolina. While a member of the
Fifty-second congress, Watson made a
donkey of himself every opportunity.
When an opportunity failed to present
Itself, he was always equal to the oc
casion of causing one. Watson la a
little, wlzened-un man between 40 and
45 years of age, with a largo rocoaiiul
rhoped head, t'nlike most of his Popu
llstlc friends, his face Is clean shaven,
lie is a fiery and Impetuous debater, al
ways looking for and rotting Into a
row with somebody. T'p.in on inva
ision AVatson mndo himself very un
popular aiming his colleagues in the
house by charging all of them with be
ing drunkards. Before ho was tolerat
ed as a harmless crunk, but afterwards
he was iistiaclsed by even men of Jerry
Hlmpsiw's stripe.
Watson took part iililnv iloUhl In
abusing Democrats, especially liiomlieis
of that party from his own ot;ite
Georgia, lie liked to stir up Speaker
Crisp, and oftentimes the presiding of
ficer was compelled to sit down on AVnt
sun very hard. It was Watson who
made ex-Judge Cobb, of fiooigla, then
a member of congress, famous by call
ing the attention of the house to his
liutchory of the English language. Wat
son asserted that during a speech Juilsre
Cobb got off the now famous expres
sion: "Mr. Speaker, where am I at?"
AVhether or not Judge Cobb was guilty
of making such a break I am unable to
say. The jUv!i;J always denied It. and
as the Congressional Record failed to
record It, the chances are that Judge
Cobb never uttered the sentence. Judge
Cobb Is a 'ery learned man, and was
considered one of the best lawyers on
the Democratic Bide of the house.
The climax of Watson's career In the
house came on a hot day In July, when
General Wheeler, of Alabama, called
him to account for publicly besmirch
ing members of congress, by accusing
them of drunkenness. The debate made
one of the sensational chapters In the
record of the Fifty-second congress.
AA'atson was on the defensive most of
the time, he was hissed during his ex
planation, and finally, on a vote, the
house refused to let htm proceed with
his explanation,
The trouble grew out of a campaign
book, which AA'atson had written. It
was In the characteristic vein of In
vective and extreme assertion used by
the Populists, and was bitter In ar
raigning public men for alleged in
competence, venality and . libertinism.
Speaking of the house of representa
tives, Watson's book asserted:
. "Lack of common business prudencs
was never more glaring. Drunken
members have reeled about the aisles,
a disgrace to the republic. Drunken
speakers have debated grave Issues on
the floor, and In the midst of maudlin
ramblings have been heard to 88k, 'Mr.
Speaker, where am I at?" "
, General Wheeler read this and otner
assertions from the book, and then
proceeded to lash the Georgian.
"I was so shocked," he said, "that I
went to members of the house and ask
ed them If they had ever .seen 'drunken
speakers debating grave Issues,' and
every gentleman replied that he had
not. I asked them If they had ever seen
'drunken members reeling In the aisle,'
and they all said 'they had not.'
Watson sought to explain, but was In
terrupted from many quarters. This
made him defiant.
"I iwant It to be understood." he ex
claimed, "that no representative from
New York can bulldoze the gentleman
from Georgia In the exercise of his
rights on this floor. He may as well
understand that now. I stand here to
defend every line in the book, and will
do It against all comers, whether from
the north or south. (Hisses). I say
that every word in that book Is literal
ly true, and all men who have been
keeping their eyes open and wanting to
admit the facts, will admit these facts
as fairly stated."
The scene that followed was a bois
terous one and objections came from
all sides. A vote was taken as to
whether Watson should be allowed to
proceed, and by 139 to 25 Watson was
allowed to explain, the feeling being
that It was only fair to hear his side of
the case.
"I want no matter of grace from this
Democratic majority, which seeks to
hiss me down when I am defending my
character here on the floor of this
house," Mr. Watson continued. "Jef
fersonlan Democracy grants to a man
freedom of speech and freedom of press,
and If you want to howl me down, do It,
and I will appeal from your tyranny to
the fairest sense of Justice that abides
in the heart of the American people.
I seem your grace. I scorn your mercy.
"Theonly crime rharged In that para
graph which a Democrat takes offense
at is that he got drunk at the barroom
this congress allows to be run in the
basement, and the record shows that
members came un here on a previous
day and admitted that they were drink
ers at It. You have planted the tree,
why should you wonder at the fruit?"
There was another chorus of protests,
members asserting that AVatson was
violating the rule which permitted an
explanation, but not a reiteration of
the charge.
Speaker Crisp put the question:
"Shall the gentleman of Georgia (Wat
sojT) be permitted to proceed?"
The Question was decided In the neg
ative. This closed the exciting contro
versy, and "where am I at?" passed In
to the common vocabulary of slang.
Aside . from Watson's dramatic en
counters on the floor, his congressional
life was not marked by success. He in
troduced a dozen bills, but not one of
them passed or advanced beyond the
Initial stage. These bills are character
istic of radicalism to the last degree.
One of them was for the sub-treasury
plan, an early Ignus fatus of the popu
lists, now discarded and not found In
the platform Just adopted. Another
bill sought to do away with the gold re
serve and turn It Into treasury as cash.
Watson chafed over the delay in se
curing attention for his bills. Most of
them went to the ways and means com
mittee and were pigeon-holed
He was one of the strongest advocates
for an Investigation of the Pinkertons,
and It was during the discussion of a
resolution to this effect that he used the
following language: "We are on the eve
of a social outbreak. We are at the
crisis of our republican government. In
a few months It will be decided wheth
er we have a government of law and
order, whether peace can be maintained
by the constituted authorities or
whether each side will arm itself with
the deadliest weapon of destruction and
fight out their grievances."
Vpon another occasion. All Fool's day,
(a very appropriate tlme),AVatson made
an onslaught on Mr. Bryan, the Demo
cratic nominee for president. The tar
iff bill was under discussion and AA'atson
was seeking to show that the Republi
cans were not honest In advocating
Protection, while the Democrats were
equally dishonest In their advocacy of
revenue reform. He took Bryan as the
type of Democratic tariff reformer, and
this Is what he said of him:
"Now my friend from Nebraska, In his
brilliant speech formulated the Demo
cratic platform In such attractive col
ors that he was loudly applauded upon
the Democratic side. AVhat was the
platform? After all the force of his
loplc, after all the splendor of his rhe
toric, after nil the drlvlri In th' direc
tion of free trade.the gentleman shirktd
the Issue when he got to the actual
enunciation of the results of his own
l.'ip'c. Ho announced his ideal Demo
cratic plat rorm nut a platform you
would hnvo, but n platform you kIhiiM
have a platform you could have if a
limn weru slUlmr quietly by his lire nt
nlBht with his fi:et in his slippers, cigar
in his mouth, n hot toddy by his side,
nothing to disturb him. and ideal Dem
ocratic dreams in his head. Now, what
was that 'platform? It ia very pretty;
It lie.!" all the vaguo charms of the
tmeVrtnutl; it has nil the boundless
beauty if a landscape- Hint bus n'i
limit. Ho says t lii.i phrase, tar! If for
protection, is the only thins of which
he complain!, lie : nys, In effec t, 1 do
not object to it it' it dots by indirection
what the other says It should do direct
ly; but I object to a tariff which suys
in plain words what It Is meant to do."
There was much laughter on the Re
publican side. AVatson quoted some of
Hryar.'s glowing sentences, and then
atiil"d:
"That Is bonutiful. It Is like the t ie.
fish trap, with one mouth down the
stream and the other up, and It 'catches
em a-cnmlng and a-gwlne.' " (Great
laughter.)
Watson gave many evidences of how
the United States senate might be con
ducted, In case he became vice presi
dent. One of his first speeches In th
house contained n bitter denunciation
of the senate. Herald:
"AA'e know that the very concentra
tion of power, the concentration of cap
ital, the concentration of privilege,
which we are fighting, is enthroned and
intrenched In the senate of the United
States. No man can successfully denv
It. Every great corcotatlon of this land
has Its agents. Its attorneys there to
defend Its interests. Every great rail
road has its owners and Its attorneys
there. You strike the oil company, and
their champions are thcr. You strike
the manufacturers of the country, and
their champions are there. And so w
are confronted by the United States
senate as the very type of concentrat
ed privilege, of aggregated wealth, and
centralized power, and we might as
well expect to sail without leave under
the frowning fortress of Gibraltar,
loop-holed and armored from base to
summit, as to pass the obstructions
which are presented to our progress
there. It would take the rod of Moses
to strike the waters of relief out of that
rock."
And this is the man whom a certain
class of people In this country want to
elect as presiding officer of the senate
of the United States, and who In case
of the removal by death or otherwise
of the president would succeed that of
ficial as the head of a great nation:
Such blatherskites ought to be ostra
cized by all decent, law-abiding and
patriotic citizens. The American peo
ple can be trusted to defeat any man
of Tom AA'atson's stripe and low cali
ber, and they will do It at the polls on
Nov. 3 next. AA R. B.
NEW SPECIMEN OF POTATO BIO.
It Appears in Month Dakota and De
vours the Plant.
Sioux City, Iowa. July 27. Farmers
near Alexandria, S. D., some distance
north of here, report the appearance
in that section of a potato pest never
before seen in the northwest. It Is a
dark green bug about half an inch
long, appears In swarms and settling
on the potato patches quickly eats ev
ery vine. It Is extremely lively and
hard to catch and whenever It settles
on the face or hands raises a blister.
Farmers have been killing It by scat
tering straw In the patches, driving the
pest Into It by beating the vines and
then burning straw and bugs together.
Thus far the bugs have not been nu
merous nor have their ravages extend
ed over a wide area.
