past six thl3 mornicg by death rellovsd cl
her toftaring,
Thk News correspondent was Informed
by Mr. G. A. Hollaed that Mrs. Tnrpin re-
mained concious until her duiith. Though
weai from the loss of blood, from time to
time telatod all that occurred. He says
that she said in the ante-mortem statement
that fcfco came over to her lather's in the
morning, which was Monday mornin?, and
nho eaw him (meaning her father) coming
f: om the well with a bucket of water, and
when she Rot to the house he came ia and
said: "My dear daughter has o>3i9 to see
me." Then went out, down towards the
field, where a man by the name of Fhillips
wsb at work. When h» came back ha ac-
cused ter of
stopping in the soad
and talking io Phillips and became angry.
8ru said then she started to go, and he said:
"You have had the upper hand of me, now
I have It of yon. The door is fastened."
She said then ho knocked her down and
ciiUEienced stabbing her, and subsequent
developments reveal the awful fact that ho
stabbed her forty-three time3 with the mur-
dercuB knife. Bhe said that he quit twice
and came back the third time and stabbed
her with the knife. Bhe said he would stab
her v.ith the knife in the wounds he had
aliftdy made, and then turn the knife in
h^r bedy.
Tub News correspondent was shown the
knife with which this deadly deed was
committed. It Is what is known as a cattle
knife, having that brand on the blade with
which he did the stabbing. The knife was
shown your correspondent by Mr. GK A.
Holland, the man to whom it was glyan by
j. N. Alston. It Is still covered with tho
blood of his victim.
The blade is 2K luohes long, and the
blade and handle Is C.y inches long.
'Wr. Ho''and says ^ > was staudln;* in the
Jfctfc oiftj'iil iiifl a core in Poolvlile yester-
day, when J. N, Alston came in a hurry
and'aid: "Good morning, Mr. Holland."
He (ays he then asked him how he was and
he replied: "I am very bad this morning."
Mr. Holland asked him what was the mat-
ter. He Bftid, "I havo killed my Laura."
Mr. Holland replied: "Oil, no, yon have
not done that," to which he replied, hold-
ing np his hand: "Yes I have. Here is her
heart's blood on my hands."
Mr. Holland then said: "May be not. I
Will go over and see her."
He raid: "No, I stabbed her in the
heart."
Alston wanted to give himself up to Hol-
land, ond asked him to protect him, but
Mr. Hi llsnd would not take charge of him,
bat went with him to Esquire Tolly, who
was going to hoid an examining trial, but
as lynch law was talked of ao freely that
cflker considered it best to have tue consta-
ble bring him to jail.

whin the wss stabbed by her father. The
waist, of her dreae, corset and apron
wkbe literally perforated

The Q'and Master Workmin Writas 11 L >t-
tc-i to Ilia Knights Advocating Shortsr
Hours of Labor.
New York, April 10.—General Master
Workman Powderly has written a letter to
the Knights of Labor throughout the coun-
try In regard to the hours of labor. He ad-
vises knights to discncs tho eight hour plan
dispassionately with their employers. Ho
sajn iluit an Immediate change can not be
ins-isted upon, but that a practical plan
chcnld be perfected. He says: "Working-
mt n and common people generally are the
rulers In cur cities aud iowas, and thay
should atones begin to make their power
felt in the matter of shortening the hours
of labor of employed In these cities and
towns. The order need not be made a po

clatiig that yen will do It on sitoti and such

without resolutions. Consult employers
and get their views. Arrange with them
for lrtetirgs to perfect a plan, and make
an attempt to brlpg about a bettor testing
between the worklngmon and employers
than hno existed for some time back.
It is true that many employers
will not condescend to meet
with or talk with their employes.
"Purse proud worms, who are to be classed

In rhei:r own and the community's light for
sgts to come, but tho world does not taove

land when the employer who has the man

Chairman Johnson and Mr. Green being
candidates from this county to the national
republican convention, to be chosen by the
ct Dgi essional -convention, the most inter-
esting Jeature of the meeting was Ihe con-
test between these gentlemen as to which
cf the two should be the choice of Colo-
rado.
When a vote by precincts was taken Mr.
Johnson received 20 and Mr. Hreea 11 votes
out of ti possible 45, with one precinct to
ballet, although it wes generally under-
stood that Johnson had a majority of that
precinct.
At this juncture Mr. Green, seeing his de-
feat, made a motion that Mr. Johnson be
uiianimoufsly declared the choice of the
meetlrg, and that the delegates be instruct-
ed to support Johnson as a candidate to the
republican national convention at Chicago,
which motion was carried.
The lollowlng persons were electa! deie-

nized by his people as being an able and
efficient lawyer and politician, and Is prom-

for congress. His views upon the tariff and
other leading qtfestlons are consistent with
those of the people, and If his name in al

THE STRICKEN STATESMAN.
CONKLING'S CONDITION STiLL CRITICAL
But Sirorg Hopes of His Recovery—Absc^s
of the Ear the Cause of
the Illness.
New Yobk, April 10.—At 9.80 this morn-
lig Dr. Fordjce Barker said Mr. Roscoe
Coukllng'a condition was much Improved,
and that the operation that had been per-
formed seemed to have accomplished all
that was expected. His temperature had
fallen to 99 and his pulse to 90. He slept
three hours during the night.
At 8 CO a. 13. Judge Alfred C.Cox of Utloa,
rephew of the ex-senator, visited the
patient, and within ten minutes he appeared
cgetln utthe door. He said that only Dr.
Anoerton and the nurse were ia the
patient's room.
a restless night.
"Mr. Conkling passed a restless night,"
said Mr. Ccx, "but he i3 considered to be
some better. He was awake when I was in
the room, but did not speak to me."
Dr. Barker would make no statement this
morning 133 to Mr. Coakllng's chances of
recovery.
Ed Btokes called at the sick room shortly
alter 11 o'clock. Ha said that Mr. Conkllng
wes conscious and lyicg In bed. He refused
to tske medicine from any person but Mr.
Blckes.
Among the cilleroia the early morning
were ex Judge Horace Russell, ex Governor
Hoadley and Colonel Ed Gebhard.
At 11 o'clock the senator was reported as
net being so well as in the early morning
hours, he being
conscious only at intervals
of short duration. The effect cf the opera-
tion Is beginning to show itself la the way
cl causing a heavy strain upon his system.
At uoon It was stated that Mr. Coakllng
had frequently arisen from hla bed and
paced his room In a state of delirium natll
so exhausted that he Wfts compelled to re-
turn to hla ccucb.
At 11 25 the condition of Mr. Conkllng was
consideredto be
very critical,
'cut his fine, robust physique makes It pos-
sible for htm to'fight off the dlsense.
At 11.SO Colonel Frederick A. Conkllng,
brother of tho senator, came out of the
house leaning heavily on the arm of his
ton. He was almost too muoh 1 ff jcted to
pjpesk, and in answer to aqaesiioa as to
his brothel's condition he said: "Very
low, very low." When a ked it there was
any hope of his recovery ho replied! "I
fear not,, 1 fear not."
3he outlook at noon wai very bad for the
seiator, but predictions can not bo safely
made.
At 5 o'clock Dr. Barker called and te-
tic In VUocit' Up i:> «j tiSR ot
his arrival the patient had
RESTLESSLY PACED THE ROOM,
end the attendants could do nothing with
him. He refused all medicine, and they
could not force food into his mouth. When
the doctor arrived Mr. Conkllng recognized
him and said: "Doctor, can't you do any-
thing to stop this bothering me?" "Why,'
certainly," replied the doclor; "take thts
medicine." Mr. Conkllng took it readily
from the doctor's hand, and then said:
"Can't I go out? I'm very busy." Again
the doctor answered, "Certainly," adding,
' Take these pills first." He then ad minis-
tared the pills, which spoadlly produced
sleep. Mr. Conkllng, to wiiom tun doctor
had handed his coat and vest, had partially
dressed himself, tut now tell back on the
bed and into a deep slumber. At 5 45 his

jnst come oat of the ex-senator's house.

after foily minutes nap, and is now in bet-
ter condition than at any tlmo since he was
At 9 o'clock Dr. Barker said that since 5
o'clock btid up to 9 o'clock Mr. Conkling
has had the best sleep he has had for a
seek, and that his mind Is clearer and he
seems more intelligent. His pulse is 81 and
temperature 99 6-10. All the changes, Dr.
Baker said, are In his favor. He refused to
express an opinion on his chances of recov-
ery in view of the favorable conditions be-
cause cf the nature of the disease. Dr.
Unrtlv came into the sick room soon after,
ard Mr. Conkllng put ont his band and
teemed to recognize him.

Dr. Barker had a consultation with Dr.
Hands between 8 and 9 o'clock at Mr. Coak-
Jlng'a honee. The patient's condition is
much improved and there la no danger ol
bis eleath to night. Physicians say if Mr.
Conkling can be kept alive for three Olaye
he will recover. A reporter asked Dr.
Barker the blunt question: "Can Mr.
Cotikling recover?"
The doctor cautiously renlleil: "It is a
treacherous disease and l can not apeak
for the future. All ciiaagos that have
taken place today are in the patient's
favor. But very little pus has baen dis-
charged since the operation wan per-
formed."
Dr. Alderton, who has baaa constantly at
Mr, Conkllng'a bedside dlnce his illness,
has been relieved by Dr. Hartley. Whoa
Dr. Hartley went into the sick room Mr.
Conkllng was In such good condition that
he reached his hand oat and shook
with the doctor. Later ho was able to talk
to hla wife am! physicians. At this tltai
(9,30) Mr. Conkllng is resting quietly. Drs.
Bat ker and Sands will not return until to
morrow.
