Democratic Leaders Are Hailed
People’s Party Circular,
Arguing That They Join the
Third Party for Safety.
Another tlnmor Current About the Ac¬
tion of the Alliance—-Democratic
Leaders Are Said to lie Warned to
1'ieo From the Wrath to Come—Cir¬
culars Issued from Washington.
Raleigh, Sept. 2.— Rumors were cur¬
rent here that the third party, or Peo¬
ple’s party, as it.terms itself, was send¬
ing out from the office of President Polk,
of the national Alliance, at Washing^
ton, letters to every aspirant for politb
cal office, informing such aspirants that
unless they gave in their adhesion to
the third party they will get nothing.
These rumors were confirmed and it
was positively stated that a number of
these letters had been sent to N orth
Carolina Democratic leaders, and no
doubt many to those in other states.
This step on the part of the third par¬
ty promoters will certainly do more
than anything else to arouse the Demo¬
crats, and will draw their hottest fire.
SEVERAL PERSONS KILLED
And Many More Are Injured in a
Railroad Wreck.
Cincinnati, Sept. 2.— A special from
Evansville to The Commercial Gazette
says that between Pell City and Troy,
Perry county, Indiana, a mixed train,
on which were twenty passengers, en¬
countered a broken rail. The engine
left the track and jumped on the ties
for a while, then it took a header down
a steep embankment. All the cars piled
on it. The passengers were all taken
out. Four were dead and sixteen more
or less scalded by escaping steam and
otherwise injured. The wreck took
fire and burned np completely. Engi¬
neer Jake App and his fireman escaped
injury by jumping. Conductor Gordon
was in the coach and was badly injured.
The wreck was on the Louisville, Evans¬
ville and St. Louis railroad. All the
injured are in Pell City. Nearly all the

Th* Weather Bureau I». Endeavoring to
Establish.
WAsiiiNQTON,—Sept* S.—The weather
bureau is endeavoring to establish a
novel system of weather fom-.e-ts. Al¬
ready the principal railroad,- of the
country have adopted Ch plan of dis¬
seminating weather predial ions by dis¬
playing signal flags on trains, and the
bureau hopes to extend this system by
having locomotives give the signals by
means of their whistles. Professor Har¬
rington, the chief of the weather bu¬
reau, has arranged a system of whistle
combinations by means of which per
sons roads living at a distance from the rail¬
can receive the forecasts. By re¬
peating with each combination a few times,
an interval of ten seconds between
possibilities of error in reading the fore¬
casts will be avoided, such as may arise
from variable winds or failure to hear
the warning signal.
As the weather forecasts are tele¬
graphed tions daily to a large number of sta¬
of the weather bureau to railroads,
etc., in various sections of the country,
there are many small towns which may
obtain them by telephone free of ex¬
pense daily ; they may also lie obtained from
the newspapers. Those desiring
to display or sound the signals. «ml who
are not able to obtain Vhe forecasts as
above, can communicate direct with
the director of thestute weather bureau,
and if it is practicable for the United
States to bear the expense of transmis¬
sion they will be furnished at the regu¬
lar commercial rate and sent "collected. ’’
BODY OF A SUICIDE
fg Refused Burial In a Country Ceme¬
tery on Account of Superstition.
Millersburg, O., Sept. 2.-The day
of superstition, it seems, has not de¬
parted. and there still lurks a feoling in
some that the spirit -of-murderer and
suicide will return and plague those
living near the place oft burial. A case
of this kind has just taken place near
Saltille, this county. An old man
named Frederick Welch committed sui¬
cide by taking paris green. Prepara-
rations were made for his funeral in a
grave yard near the village, presided
over by fhree trustees. The grave had
been dug, and the procession arrived at
the yard, when the trustees put in an
appearance and positively forbid the
ordered burying burying of of a a suicide snicid in the grounds and
•ed them out. The corpse was ta-
keh back to the house and kept over
night. In the meantime a lot was pur¬
chased in Oak Hill cemetery here and
the remains buried. The trustees of the
country grave yard are being denounced
on every side for their action.

AN AGED COUPLE
Is Brutally TorturedJ»Jt_.Tw*.
Monroe, Mich,, Sept. 2.— At a farm
house near here, John Wilkinson and
his wife were brutally tortured and
murdered by two tramps. The tramps
went to the farm house begging for
something to eat, and finding Wilkinson
and his wife alone, with the exception
of a ten-year-old boy, undertook to tor¬
ture them, and make them reveal the
hiding place of their supposed wealth.
They knocked them down, cut great
gashes in their faces with knives, and
kicked and otherwise abused them. The
terrified boy in the mean time escaped
and gave an alarm. A posse of neigh¬
bors started to the rescue, but when
they reached the couple were dead, hav¬
ing bled to death from the terrible
wounds inflicted by the fiends. The
tramps and were both sighted near Maybee Sta¬
tion, were shot down by the
infuriated citizens. The bodies were
completely riddled with bullets. The
murderers were strangers in the county.
The old couple were well-to-do and
highly respected citizens.

Observations of an American

Bad Crops General, and Dis¬

Colonel J, B. Montgomery of Oregon,
Arrive* in New York from Germany
and I* Interviewed About the Crop
Failure In Europe—RaUe of Price of
Grain In America.
New York, Sept, 1.—Colonel J. B.
Montgomery, of Oregon, has just re¬
turned from Germany and while at the
Fifth Avenue hotel, he was asked about
the crop failure in Europe, and said:
The crop failure in Europe is general,
and distress is sure to follow. I was all
over Germany and saw that the rain
hail ruined the wheat and rye. In Ger¬
many there will be a shortage in the
grain crop of 33 per cent., or just 1,000,-
000,000 bushels. ' —rif ' --------
"The empire generally produces 240.-
000,000 bushels of rye and 80,000,000
bnshels of wheat annually. With the
great falling off mentioned the people
will have to look to thia country for re¬
lief. Russia is short and can’t supply
Germany, and France is not much bet¬
ter off. The potato crop in continental
Europe has been more or less a failure,
and the people look with longing eyes
toward America. I am not a specula¬
tor in grain, but I predict that by
Christmas wheat in this country will
sell at $1.50 per bushel, owing to the
great demand in Europe.
STILL ANOTHER TRAIN ROBBERY.

a thinly settled section of this county,
gives a thrilling account of a daring
train robbery committed by mounted
men at that place shortlp after mid¬
night.
Dynamite and Winchesters were
used as a means of intimidating
the express messenger and gaining en¬

Berlin, Sept. 2.—It is reported in

what he said six months ago to the
effect that the American hog would en¬

Atlanta’s Coming City Election.
Atlanta, Sept. 8.— There will be a
decidedly new feature in local politics
in this city. There will be an anti-bar¬
room ticket in the field. ThiB means
the most interesting municipal election
that has been held in Atlanta in many
years. Of course there will be some
kind of opposition to the anti-barroom
ticket. There may be three tickets in
the field—the anti-barroom, the liquor
men’s ticket and a conservative ticket.
Such a three-cornered fight would be
very, very interesting.

not wishing to stay longer on the ground
than the actual necessities of the occa¬

A posse was summoned by the sheriff

all, however, men who have seen serv¬

Athens, commissioner of agriculture, to
between the appointive term,
which commissioner Kolb is filling, and
and the first elective term under the
law making the office elective, passed
by the last legislature. The appoint¬
mentwill precipitate a lawsuit. A
friend of Captain Kolb has the
opinion of ex-Chief Justice Biobel, of
the Alabama supreme bench, in which
Judge made Brickel holds that the law which
the office elective repealed all
former laws, and thus deprives the gov¬
ernor of the right of appointment con¬
ferred by the act creating the office, and
in consequence that Kolb, whose com¬
mission reads "To hold until his suc¬
cessor is appointed and qualified, ” is en¬
titled to hold the office until after the
next general election, when the first
elective commissioner of agriculture
will be elected,
Kolb’s friends stated that the new
appointee would demand the transfer
or the office, ana that Kolb would re¬
fuse, and force Lane to resort to qno

Russell Harrison, the president's son,
pushed open the door of the collector’s
private office and walked np to his

He asked a question and the collector
shook his head. Then Prince Russell
pounded on the desk with his fist and
for 5 minutes it is said there was an
odor of sulphur in the room.
The prince was mad and he made no
effort to conceal the fact. His anger
was caused by the refusal of Secretary
Foster to turn over to him the revenue
cutter Grant for a private junketing
trip. Mrs. Russell Harrison and Mrs.
McKee are coining home from Europe
on the Majestic which is due soon.
Last Friday Prince Russell asked Col¬
lector Fassett to turn over to him the
cutter Grant to take himself and a
party of relatives and friends down the
hay to meet the Majestic, and he also
wanted the collector’s permission to
