Absorb
Clinton, Tenn., Sept. 19.—Saturday
was the day set apart for the trial of the
soldiers who were charged with lynching
Dich Drummond a few weeks ago near
Coal Creek.
Early in the morning Captain Ander
son brought a command of 40 men down
from Camp Carpenter and stationed
them on the opposite side of the river
from the courthouse, where the trials
were to take place. At 11 o'clock, the
appointed hour. Hon. E. F. Mynatt, of
Knoxville, representing the prosecution,
accompanied by W. E. Drummond, a
brother of the murdered man, and Sheriff
Rutherford, called upon General Fite
and demanded the 18 soldiers for whom
they had warrants. As they could not
identify the men wanted, General Fite
refused to give them tip, and quite a
scene ensued.
A regular war of words took place bG
tween the parties, which ended in their
withdrawing from each other and refus
ing to speak, thus stopping further pro
ceedings. Mynatt wrote to General Fite
asking for the men, and several letters
passed between the two. General Fite
said that it the sheriff could identify the
men he could get them. This ended the
correspondence, and General Fite or
dered the troops back to camp, declar
ing that the prosecution could not get a
single one of them without full identifi
cation.
Mr. Mynatt took the train for Knox
ville swearing that when the grand jury
met he would have his witnesses go be
fore it and indict every private and of
ficer in the command and also General
isible to do. All uphold Gen
eral Fite in his action, for the miners
would have sworn to ' almost any crime
against the soldiers if they had been de-
!. ; t was impossible to. obtain the
names of the 18 soldiers wanted, as nei
ther side would divulge them.
Charleston, Sept. 18.—It has leaked
out that the two dispensaries established
here on bogus petitions are hardly pay
ing expenses. It is understood that Gov
ernor Tillman has issued orders to the
county board of control to reduce the
number to four instead of 10, as was
originally intended and as provided by
the dispensary law. This will rule out
half a dozen applicants who have filed
petitions, and as many more who have
been getting up petitions.
In spite of the dull business at the dis
pensaries, there is more liquor consumed
in Charleston now than was sold before
the dispensary law went into effect.
Chief Constable Gaillard and Constables
Pepper and Swan are in town. They
have made no move as yet. It is thought
that they are awaiting advices from Co
lumbia.
Americus, Ga., Sept. 20.—Sumter
county h:is a small elephant'on her hands
just now in the persons of a number of
prisoners convicted at the last term of
the county court and sentenced to terms
in the chaingang. For the past several
years the coSnty has leased her convicts
to the Ocmulgee Brick company and va
rious lumber companies in tins section
of the state, hut just now none of these
want additional labor and consequently
the prisoners are allowed to remain here
in jail, a burden and expense to the
county. There are several strong, able-
bodied men among the number, who are
under sentences of from one to two
years, and the county would be glad to
entertain a proposition from any reliable
concern looking to the lease of these con
victs.
Memphis, Sept. 20.—Ex-Congressman
Rice A. Pierce, the member of the exec
utive committee for Tennessee appointed
at Chicago, Aug. 2, has issued a call to

and silver to meet at their respective
county seats Monday, Oct. 21, and pass

representatives in congress to vote
against the repeal of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman law, unless

the coinage act repealed in 1873.

Four New Cases Developed.

deaths reported. One patient has been
discharged, leaving 19 cases under treat

The board of health has passed a reso

treatment.
The weather is hot and the 'misty con
dition of the atmosphere is favorable to
the spread of the fever.
People are leaving slowly, from the
fact that most of those able to do so have
already gone, and those remaining art
principally of the poorer classes who
can’t get away if they would.
It is estimated that about 5,000 people
remain in the city, and of these the
greater number are without the means
of getting away.

RANSOM’S SUCCESSOR.
North Carolina's Old Time AVarhorse Will
Have Strong Opposition.
Charlotte, Sept. 18.—The absorbing
question in North Carolina politics today
is, who will be Senator Ransom's suc
cessor? Already the fight is on, and
even at this early date senatorial possi
bilities are looming up from every sec
tion of the state.
Senator Ransom has informed the De
mocracy that he will be a candidate for
re-election, and his friends are doing all
in their power to stay the undercurrent
which seems to threaten to cany him to
the political background. A determined
effort on the part of tl£ Populists of the
state will be made to defeat Ransom.
It is rumored that ex-Govemor T. J.
Jarvis, who was minister to Brazil dur
ing Cleveland’s first term, will be a can
didate. He has considerable backing
from the Populist party, although he is
dyed-in-the-wool Democrat. Besides the
farmers’ strength, which Jarvis will un
doubtedly receive, he will not he found
wanting for wire pullers.
Another name mentioned in connec
tion with the senatorship is that of
Charles M. Steadman, formerly of Wil
mington, but now of Asheville. Up to
a short while ago he was contented with
his wealth and the honor of being the
leading lawyer in his state, hut his finan
cial skies have become clouded recently
and it is learned now from the most re
liable sources that his intentions are to
enter the field of politics. He has plen
ty of friends who will stick to him to the
last. Major Steadman is no new power
in the politics of his state. His fine Ital
ian hand has more than once pointed out
the way to victory in North Carolina.
It is rumored that he is to he candidate
for a seat in the next legislature and ran
for the speakership. He will use these
stepping stones to ascend to the United
States senate.
Plans looking forward to this ultimate
end are already being mapped out.

Imposing Ceremonies at Washington.
President Cleveland Speaks.
Washington, Sept. 19.—The day was
ushered in by the ringing of the centen
nial chimes. Following as closely as
possible the program of the original cer
emonies, the procession was cliiefly con
fined to civic bodies, under the marshal-
ship of General Ordway, commanding
the district national guard.
It started shortly before 1 o’clock in
four divisions from in front of the White
House, which faces “President’s Square”
(as LaFayette place was called 100 years
ago), from wliich point, according to his
tory, the procession marched two abreast
in the greatest solemn dignity, with
music playing, drams heating and col
ors flying and spectators rejoicing.
The modern procession moved briskly
along broad Pennsylvania avenue to the
capitol, the civic organizations, four
abreast, and the military in column of
companies, with brave display of civic
insignia, amidst music and the plaudits of
the mighty concourse of spectators.
At the head of the procession, imme
diately following Grand Marshal Ord
way and his well mounted staff, rode the
president of the United States and his
cabinet officers. The president rode in
an open barouche, attended by Hon.
Beiiah Wilkins, chairman of the recep
tion committee, escorted by a squadron
of United States cavalry, which made a
glittering, clattering show in their full
dress uniforms, helmets and waving
plumes.
The procession arrived at the capitol
shortly aftar 2 o’clock, and the parade
was dismissed and the ceremonies of
commemoration commenced from stands
erected on the east front and in the pres
ence of an immense concourse of specta
tors.
The oratorical part of the proceedings
was commenced by Mr. Lawrence Gard
ner in an address of welcome, which had
the merit of being as brief as it was ap
propriate. He closed by introducing to
the audience “as chairman of the cere
monies the worthy successor of Wash
ington, the president of the United
States, Grover Clevehuid.”
After the president’s brief address the
orator of the day, William Wirt Henry,
of Virginia, delivered an oration.
Claus Spreckels in Washington.
Washington, Sept. 20.—Claus Spreck
els has arrived here. He left the Sand
wich Islands about six weeks ago, be
fore the departure of Commissioner
Blount, hut he is thoroughly posted as
to every move made by the provisional
government since his departure. His
presence in Washington is due to a de
sire on his part to lay before the admin
istration and the senate his views in re
gard to the Hawaiian situation and the
duty of the American government.
Mr. Spreckels, while opposed to annex
ation. says: “I believe in the establish
ment of an American protectorate, and
the settlement of the government of the
islands by a vote of the people. No other
country hut the United States can ever
exercise a protectorate over the islands.
While I was not born in America, I have
been here for 40 years, and no American
native born believdS more firmly in the
institutions and destiny of this country.
I would fight to the hitter end any at
tempt to establish any foreign influence
but that of the United States in the
islands.”
Afraid of Crank Legislation.
Topeka, Sept. 20. — The Provident
Trust company, one of the largest hold
ers of Kansas mortgages, has written its
agents at Great Bend that it is closing
its Kansas business as rapidly as possi
ble, and that any extension of standing
loans is impossible. Charles M. Sheldon,
just returned from the east, says he talk
ed with scores of capitalists, and not one
wanted Kansas securities. He says east
ern bankers are afraid of the financial
schemes of the parties in power in Kan
sas. Until the death of crank legisla
tion is assured, he says, all the eastern
money now invested here will he with
drawn as rapidly as possible. Tins
means trouble for thousands of farmers.
An Archbishop Ignores His Coadjutor in
an Important Appointment.
St. Louis, Sept. 18.—It has just be
come known that the Rev. Father J. J.
Connolly, of St. Teresa’s church, this
city, has been app< linted vicar-general of
the archdiocese of St. Louis by Arch
bishop Kenrick. The appointment was
mad^ on Sept. 3.* The announcement
has caused a sensation among Catholic.
Archbishop Kenrick, who is quite feeble,
long resisted the influences brought to
bear upon him to accept the aid of a co
adjutor, but finally consented, and Arch
bishop Kain was appointed.
In the appointment now made Arch
bishop Kenrick has entirely ignored his
coadjutor, who left to attend the Catho
lie congress in Chicago on the day the
appointment was made. The appoint
ment practically nullifies the powers of
Archbishop Kain.
