AND A FULL COMPLI MENT OF STATE
OFFICERS —TER PRO
CEEDINGS IN BRIEF.
* *
The first people's party convention
ever held in the Empire Btate of the
smith was called to orrtir by Colonel C.
C. Post, chair nun of the state central
committee, in the hall of tho house of
representatives in Atlanta Wednesday
morning. The haii was crowded to its
utmost capacity with farmer politicians
of Georgia, and the galleries were
thronged with visit' rs, mi n, women and
children. Every seat was taken, and
many who cou!d not secure seats seemed
content to stand.
catUED to on per.
Tt was a little after 10 oVlook when
Chairmen C. C. Post, of the provisional
committee, called the meeting to order.
'•We have mit. gentlemen,” Stid he,
“under peculiar cirrumitanees. This is
the first state con vent i.n of the people’s
party ever held in Georgia. [Applause ]
We ha»<* met to nominate candid ites for
s ate ■ fflees to be opposed by that party
Nvith which in the past you have affili
ated. You will also elect electors to cast
their vote fos the nominees of the Omaha
convert ion, vftio, in my honest opinion,
will be the next officers elected by the
people of the United States. You are also
to Select a new state executive Committee
10 carry on the work begun by your pro
visional committee. This convention
will force alt thinking men to recognise
the fact that grave wroDgs have becn
done unto the people and great wrongs
exi't in our economic system. Truo, men
are always prone to b> ar with existing
evil rather than attempt to remedy them
through the medium of a new party.
People are always slow to break the
moorings that bind them to old parties,
but when wrongs grow so grievous that
they cannot longer be borne the tie must
bo severed. I do not doubt but that
the world will compare this con
vention, composed of farmers and me
chanics, with the convention of
politicians that met here a Short
time ago. The wot Id w.ll compare the
•treat convention of wealth producers in
Omaha with the convention of office
holders in Minneapolis and with thecon
ventiou of office seekers in Chicago. The
world will compare to the clean cut plat
form adoped in Om >ha with the Woll
nigh meaningle.s plaiform adopted at
Minneapolis and at Chicago. [Wild ap
plause.] We have met here to organize
a new parly. Five months ago there Waa
no break in democratic ranks. The sen
timent of the people’s party was there,
but organization was lacking. In five
months, since the St. Louis convention,
every county in the state has been orgau
iaed and every district is prep ired to put
up candidates against tlie democracy
from bailiff r»p to congressman, with fair
prospects of electing them. [Long con
tinued applause-]
BRANCH FOR CHAIRMAN.
He concluded his r> maiks by announc
ing that the cmmittco on temporary or
ganization had presented the name of
M. I. Bra tilth, of Columbia county, for
tem|>orary Chairman and tho nanns of
Osccr Jhirkcr ol Fulton, and W. A. Kek
«rd, of Clinch, for temporary secretaries,
Mr. Post then introduced to the conven
tion Captain M. I. Branch, who wns re
ceived with applause.
“Four years ago,” said he in taking
the gavel, “you would not have dreamed
of such a convention as this. Two years
•go it was a probability. One year ago
it was a possibility. To day it is a fact.
We are here to protest against the wrongs
heaped upon us by the money kings of
this country. We are here, and we have
considered well before we throw cIT ull
allegiance to the old party.”
Continuing, Mr. Branch said: “If tho
nlliance should die to-morrow it would
hsve accomplished one grand work if no
more, and on its tomb could bn writteu,
‘lt has destroyed all sectionalism.’ [Ap
plause.] The people's patty has dlas n
the north and suuth together aud has
done more than all other agencies com
bined toward wiping out sectional feel
ing. The pla'form of tne people’s pirtv
adop ed at Oma ia is a wouderiully aim
nle ulhtform. It is so plain and simple
that the blind can read it and the deaf
can hear it read.” A generous burst, of
applause fo'lowed, aud then the speaker
took tip the thread of his discourse.
“The time has come,” he c<utinued
“to make a change. I sec Gordon and
Colqult', Not then >nd Livingston going
to the rear. [Applnusc.] Thanks ba to
God, I see leaping into the arena a lit !e
David in the person of Tom Watson, and
if we are loyal to ourselvc, he will lead
us on to victory.” At the conclusion of
his speech, Mr. Branch announced the
convection open to business.
COMMITTEES NAMED.
On motion of J. G. Barrett, of Rich
mond, two committees, consisting of one
from each district, were appointed, one
being a committee on credeutia's and the
other being the committee on platform.
The convention then adjourned until one I
o’clock.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
When the convention reassembled thei t
were speeches by Rev. 8. A. Walker and
Dr. Osborn of Texa«, after which the com
mittee on credeotids reported that there
was no contest. The election of officers
followed:
POST IS CHAIRMAN.
Hon. C. H. Ellington in a few words
put in nomination C. C. Post, of Fulton,
a* permanent chairman of the convention.
Hts nomination w. s received with ap
plause, and he «as unanimously elected.
When Colonel Pos took the gavel from
Branch, the applause was vociferous and
long cor ti ued. Chairman Branch said
in introducing him that he esme to Geor
gia five or six years ago to die, but he
lives to lead the people to victory. M. I).
Irwin, of Rockdale, was elelectcd secre
tary, and 0:c r Parker was elected as
sistant.

CYCLONE IN ITALY
Adds to the Terror of the Unfortunate
People.
A cablegram from Romo states that
the province of Raigo, in the northern
part of Italy, was swept by a terrific
cyclone Tuesday. An enormous amount
of property was destroyed and it is re
ported many lives were lost. Tho villago
of Polesalla, on the hank of the river Po,
neven miles south of the town of Ravigo,
and containing nearly four thousand in
habitants, was almost completely wiped
out of existence. Many of the villiigers
were buried in the ruins of their homes.
Troops have been sent from Ravigo to
render assistance.
MOUNT BTNA GROWING WORSE.
Another dispateh from Catania says
that the terror of the people living in the
vicinity of Mount Etna is Increasing in
consequence of the renewed violence of
the eruptions from tha different craters
of the volcano and prolonged subter
ranean rumblings, which aro becoming
more and more frequent. The poorer in
habitants of Nicolosi, who have been
driven from field work by the advance of
lava, are being supplied with free bread
and soup; The houses of the town were
severely shaken Tu-sday night, many
windows being shattered.
THE PINKERTON’S CLAIM.
They Say Their Men Were Deputies
and Acted in Self-Defense.
A Wa-hinglon dispatch say--; The
Pinkerton brothers were giveu a hearing
Friday morning by the house committee
on judiciary. They submitted awiitten
statement in which they sa d the men
employed by the agency were selected
with great care, und only after a full in
vestigation of their chareter and ante
cedents; that they seldom allowed men
to carry arms unless authorized by tlie
legal authorities or sworn in as deputy
sheriffs; that thes; men have only
used arms as a last extremi
ty iu order to protect lile.
They refused to send watchmen t<>
Homestead unless the men were
sworn iu as deputy sheriffs; that Deputy
Gray accompanied the men to Homes
tead and distinclly understood that he
had the i ower to deputize them incase
of necessity. The instructions to the
men were that they should not bo armed
unless deputized by the sheriff; that the
boxes in the barges were not opened and
arms and ammunition distributed until
after the strikers began firing on the
watchmen. Klein had been murdered
and about five others wounded before
the men began to fire in ‘elf-defense.
QUIET IN IDAHO
And the Troops Will be Gradually
Withdrawn.
A Washington dispatch of Sunday
says: General Schofield reports that or
der having been completely restored in
Coeur d’Alene mining district most of
the U ited Slates troops uow there will
i»e gradually withdrawn. Over three
hundred rioters have been arrested by
the troops and turned over to the civil
authorities at Boise City. Most of tb«
others have flrd to the mountains, and
th- re are no indic.at’ons whatever of fur
ther tr. u’y_;

FRICK SHOT DOWN.
Desperate Attempt to Take the Life ol
Carnegie’s Millionaire Manager.

THOCOH BADLY WOUNDED FRICX WILL RB
bftffiß*—THE ASSAILANT IN JAIL-*-AN
OTHER HOMKSrr.AD CH AFTER.
H. C. Frick, chairman of the Carnegie
company, limited, was shot and stabbed
in his private office at Pittsburg at i :4i
o’clock Sattiroay afternoon iy Alet
Befgraan aged twrn'y-one years, a Rufl
sim Jew, who came from New York to
Pittsburg for the express purpose of mur
dering Frick.
Particulars of the AsiACt/h
The citcum-lances attending the shoot
ing are related as follows: Tun minutes
before 2 o'clock 8 turday afternoon a
dark complexione I young man with a
Jewish cast of countenance, of medium
blight and fairly well dreskbd, entered
the < IcVatOr ih the ( htofiicle-Telegraph
building, which is it'so occupied by the
Carnegie Steel C»ni|iai>y, limited, and
asked to be let off at Mr. Frick’s office.
The young man had been a frequent
visitor inning the past few days, snd
David Fortngy tlie elevator bcly,
thought nothing of the nqiiest, htit stop
ped at the second flo r a d pointed out
the way to the chairman’s private room.
I wo minutes later the occupants of the
building and pas-ers by on Filth ave
nue were startled by three pistol shots,
tired in rapid succession, Intuitively the
vio im Was divined and “Frick is shot!”
were the words sootl passing from m>mh
to moUth oh the street. It Was true.
Tlie man, believed to be a crank, had as
saulted the great steel itmsier, but the
Utter, notwithstanding two budet
wounds and four ugly gashes from a
dagger, still lives aud will recover.
APPEARANCE OF TIIK MAN.
The office of Mr. Leishman, hudncas
partner of Frick, adjoins that of the
chairman. Mr. Lcishuian came in and
the two were holding a private confer
ence, no one else being in the room. A
few mil tiles before 2 o’clock Harry
Beckley, the office boy, noticed a man
hastily push open the swinging gate in
the railing that runs between the
public portion and the cnclo,ure
where the desks of the stenographers
and clerks are 1< cated. There was no
one near tho priv .te i ffico door, and tl e
hoy burr ed up to ask the intrudrr what
he want'd, but he was too late, as the
stranger had already entered the private
apartment. As he entered tho offiic Mr.
Frick looked up, as did also Mr. Leish
man, to sec who it w as. Mr. Frick was
examining a bundle of papers.
MR. FRICft SHOT.
The ntan sprang within about five feet
of Mr. Frick, aud, drawing his revolver,
pulled the trigger. The first cartridge
did not explode; the second shot eutircd
the back of Mr. Frick’s neck and, glanc
ing downward, passed to tho outside
below the armpit. Mr. Frick made an
exclamation ami jumped to the circular
wiml'iw on Fifth avenue and tried to open
it. The assailant passed nearly in front of
the desk and, approaching close
to Mr. Frick, fired again.
Tho ball eutered the muscle
on the left side of the neck and passed
around to a lodgment under the light car,
wliere it w< s later reached by a probe.
At this instant Mr. Lriahtnan threw him
self on the w< uld beaesa-sin and wrestled
for the possession of the revolver. Mr.
Leishman clutched the barrel and turned
the muzzle upward as the cartridge ex
ploded, the hall entering the plastering
near the glass partition. With agility
the disperalo man drew a dagger aud at
tempted to stab Mr. Leishman, who wns
holding the assailant by the shoulders
and body.
USED UIS KNIFE.
Mr. Frick saw the gleam of tha stcol,
aud although staggered by the shock of
the wounds snd bleeding profttselv,
jump'd between the men and seize 1 the
man's arm. The latter freed himself from
Mr. Ltisliman’a grasp and plunged the
dagger iuto Mr. Frick’s tight side, just
above the hip, making an ugly wound
three inches long. Ho made another
lunge, this time the knife striking higher
up, but the point struck a rib aud glanced
down, without inflicting much injury.
Twice again was the knife thrust at Mr.
Frick, but he was merely scratched by
theao last attempts to kill him. The
struggle wns in full view ol those on the
street.
THE AkPASSIN ARRESTED.
By this time the office boy and Deputy
Sheriff May, who just eutered the offico
as the first shot was fired, threw them
selves on the assassin. Mr. May had
drawn his revolver and was about to
shoot the fellow in the back, when Frick
cried out for him not to shoot. The man
broke away and tried to escape, but he
was secured and taken to the Central
police station. The prompt action of
Air. JCrieK saved tne lives ol Air. Welsh
man nnd his self appointed executioner.
In five minutes half a dozen surgeons
were at hand, who, after a thorough ex
amination, pronounced the wounds as
dangerous but not necessarily fatal. At
seven o’clock, five hours after be was
shot, Mr. Frick was able to be removed
to his home, where up to the latest re
ports he is doing very well.
WHO BERGMAN IS.
A dispatch of Sunday from New Ha
ven,Connr, says: Alexander Bergman,the
man who made the attempt on General
Manager Frick's life iu Pittsburg worked
in this city as a i ompositor about three
years ago. Ho \ a known here as an
ardent advocate oi anarchistic theories.
He belonged to one of the groups, but
carried on bis work as an individual.
While hero he lived with a woman named
Goldbaum or Goldsmith and wasknowa as
her husband. This woman is well known
throughout the country, having lectured
everywhere on anarchist doctrines. She
and Bergman separated after living
together about three or four months.
Bergman's tmployer here, who is editor
of an ibflmntial Germau weekly
knows very little of this man beyond the
facts already stated. No one seems to
know whence or where he went after
leaving this city.

A frightful explosion occurred at York

“August
Flower”
I used August Flower for Loss of
vitality and general debility. After
taking two bottles I gained 69 lbs.
I have sold more of your August
Flower since I have been in business
than any other medicine I ever kept.
Mr. Peter Zinville says he \\ as made
a new man by the use of August
Flower, recommended by me. I
have hundreds tell me that August
Flower has done them more good
than any other medicine they ever
took. Georgs W. Dye, Sardis,
