/?; IS ACT. 1 HON. J. HOUR TYLER IS NOMI¬ NATED FOR GOVERNOR. PLATFORM IS FOR FREE SILVER. No Deviation From the Chicago Platform. Edward Echols Named For Eicu- tenant Governor. Tho democratic state convention of Virginia was called to order at noon Wednesday in the Academy of Music at Roanoke. Nearly, if not quite all, of tho 1,548 members of the body were present or represented by proxy. The convention began its operations at noon, and had an afternoon session, but nothing was accomplished until tho night session, because of some complicated fights before the commit¬ tee on credentials. Major J. Hoge Tyler, a straight-out free silver man, was unanimously- nominated for governor. The contest over the lieutenant governorship was a close drawn one but resulted in the nomination of Edward Echols. The convention then adjourned until 10 o’clock Thursday morning. Special emphasis is laid upon the four great demands of the platform formulated which are: For a tariff' for revenue in the lan¬ guage of the Chicago platform. For an income tax and a constitu¬ tional amendment, if it is necessary, in the accomplishment of that end. For the complete regulation of trusts and combines. For the free and unlimited coinago of both gold and silver at the legal ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid or consent of other nations. On these points the platform reads as follows: “We reaffirm the platform of tho demo¬ cratic national convention adopted at Chi¬ cago in July, 1896, and upon which William Jennings Bryan was nominated for the presidency of the United States, and we extend our congratulations to a noble champion upon the able and brilliant man¬ ner in which he discharged his trust. The fact that he received more votes than any previous democratic candidate for the pres¬ idency and more than any candidate of any par.y, barring alone his successful oppo¬ nent, is evidence that democratic principles are still dear to a vast mass of the Ameri¬ can people and that democracy is living in tho hope of an early and complete tri¬ umph. We especially indorse the doctrines of the national democratic party upon the Tour groat issues which are before the peo¬ ple ot this country, viz: The tariff, the in¬ come tax, the regulating of trusts and the currency. Tariff duties should be levied for revenue purposes, and only for so much revenue as may be needed for an economic administration of the government. Upon the subject of currency, we declare ourselves unalterably opposed to the British system of monometallism which has aggrandized that empire at tho expense of the nations producing food supplies and raw- material and its adoption has only aggra¬ vated our financial servitude to London. It is not only un-American, but anti-Ameri¬ can, and it can be fastened on tho United States only by the stifling of that spirit and love of liberty which proclaimed our politi¬ cal independence, in 1776, and caused the war of the revolution. We demand an un- limited coinage of both gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation.” The platform calls for the repeal of the 10 per cent tax on state bank issues, and then goes at some length into state affairs. As a separate plank, by the narrow margin of 15 votes to 14, the commit¬ tee adopted a resolution providing for the nomination of United States sena¬ tors in the primaries. Details of the plan are gone into at some length. It is an elaboration of the South Carolina plan. GIANT POWDER EXPLODES Resulting In tho Dentil of Two Men and the Injury of Four Others. Advices from Bonne Terre, Mo., state that about 300 pounds of giant powder exploded in the St. Joe lead mine, near that place, Wednesday night, killing William B. Madden and Taylor Dodson, seriously wounding Albert Morris and Joseph Miller and painfully injuring Cal Gibson and Ed Forshee. GEORGIA LUMBER MEN To Devise a Plan Whereby the Cutting of Prices Will be Stopped. The lumber men of Georgia have hit upon a unique plan to maintain and advance prices. They have a device which is intended to minimize compe¬ tition without making the stockhold¬ ers obnoxious to the anti-trust law. The plan is to organize a company with $50,000 capital and ten or fifteen of the largest mills in the state are to take the stock. This company will have offices in Atlanta and Savannah or Brunswick, possibly at both Savan¬ nah and Brunswick. The company is to act as selling agent for the mills in; terested. ROAD TO BE EXTENDED. Committee on Extension of Birmingham, Selma and New Orleans Report. A meeting was held at Selma, Ala., Friday evening looking to the exten¬ sion of the Birmingham, Selma and New Orleans road to Linden, in Ma- Tengo county. line The delegation favorable sent over the and re¬ cently made a report a committee, composed of leading busi¬ ness men, was appointed to confer with the owners of the road. SENATOR GEORGE DEAD. Wn.^ Mississippi'^ Senior Member in Uni¬ ted Staten Senate. Senator J. M. George died at his home in Mississippi City Saturday afternoon, and white his death was not unexpected, has saddened the whole commonwealth. Senator Walthall telegraphed the vice president and sergeant-arms of the senate, who will have charge of tho funeral, and asked them to com¬ municate with J. W. George, son of the senator, who was with him when he died at Mississippi City. The vice president will name the committee of senators and representa¬ tives to attend the funeral. Senator George was not a native of Mississippi, but had resided in that state since his eighth year. He was born in Monroe county, Georgia, on the 26th day of October, 1826. After the death of his father, which occurred in the senator’s early infancy, he removed with his mother in 1834 to Noxube county, Mississippi, remaining there for only two years and then going to Carroll county, where he maintained his legal residence until his death. Senator George obtained his educa¬ tion in the common schools and did not begin his professional career until after the close of the Mexican war, during which he served as a private in the regiment commanded by Jefferson Davis. He afterwards took an active part in the civil war, casting his lot with the south. He left the convention hall to be captain in the Twentieth regi- nient of the Mississippi volunteers. He rose to the rank of brigadier general of state troops before the close of the war. When the civil war closed Mr. George returned to Carroll county, re¬ suming the pi-actice of his profession, and later entering politics. In 1879 he was appointed to the supreme bench and soon afterwards was elected chief justice, in which capacity he was serving his state when first elected to the United States senate in 1881. Had he been permitted to serve his entire term he would, on the 4th of March, 1899, have completed his eighteenth year in the senate. He declined a re- election a year ago on account of his health. LEFT VICTIMS FOR DEAD. Itrute Assaults Two Women and Trios to Brain Them. In Catoosa county, in the Chicka- mauga National park, Saturday morn¬ ing, in the absence of Mr. Hitchcock, a park laborer, from his house, a white man assaulted Miss Hitchcock, his fifteen year-old daughter. The assail¬ ant also Struck the prostrate girl on the head with a bludgeon and left her for head. Her mother, a feeble woman fifty years of age, came upon the scene, when the trespasser, with the same blungeon that he had crushed the skull of his first victim, struck the mother. Both were left for dead, but then- cries had reached the ears of a man passing by before the woman became unconscious. The information was wired to Chattanooga and later a posse was organized and started in pursuit. STRIKE SITUATION MUDDLED. West Virginia Miners Claim That 131" Mistakes Have T3een Made. A special from Wheeling, W. Va., says: Tho beginning of another week of the coal strike in the Wheeling and eastern Ohio districts shows a mud¬ dled situation. A vigorous opposition to the course of the United Mine Workers in closing down the mines that supply the sever¬ al iron manufacturing plants has de¬ veloped among the workingmen them¬ selves, many asserting that a big mis¬ take has been made. The situation at the Laughlin mill mine across the river has been straightened ont by the declination of the miners to work as long as the campers are in the vicinity. The Laughlin and other plants are now getting coal from Fairmont. RELIEF FUND EXHASTED. Consul General Bee Gives an Accounting: of the Money Spent. Consul General Lee, in a report to the state department, says that the $10,000 placed to the credit of the re¬ lief fund on May 2-2d last was equiva¬ lent to $10,975 Spanish dollars. This fund, which he he says was ex¬ pended with the greatest care and economy, is nearly exhausted. DAUNTLESS UNDER SURVEILANCE. Government Officials are Keeping Close Watch On the Uittle Tag. Information has reached the secre¬ tary of the treasury through the state department that the steamer Daunt¬ less is about to take on ammunition and men at Tampa for the insurgents in Cuba. The collector of customs at Tampa has been directed to exercise vigilance to prevent infractions of the naviga¬ tion and neutrality acts and to com¬ municate with the United States attor¬ ney. Captain Shoemaker has also in- strncted the commanders of the reve¬ nue cutter fleet to be on the lookout for the Dauntless. CHECK FOR TWO MILLION Used Id Transfer of Glucose Company at Peoria, Illinois. The injunction which stood in the way of the new glucose combination by restraining the sale of the American Glucose Company, of Peoria, Ill., was dissolved Wednesday afternoon, and the transfer took place immediately, a certified check for over two million dollars being passed in order to fore¬ stall any similar attempts at complica¬ tion. MINERS ARE RESTRAINED FROM MARCHING AND CAMPING. BLOODSHED MAY BE THE RESULT. Strikers Will Defy Orders of Court and Arrests Will Follow, Causing: Serious Complications. A Pittsburg special says: Sweeping a:ul far-reaching injunctions now fig¬ ure in the coni miners’ strike in the Pittsburg district. The developments of Thursday tended to make the situ¬ ation a strained one and it appeared that a crisis was near at hand. The strikers have demonstrated that their assemblages, marches and mis¬ sionary work have materially affected the output of the Now York and Cleve¬ land Gas Coal company, while at the fame time public sympathy has been enlisted in their cause. The sheriff’s proclamation, issued two weeks ago restraining the men from assembling and marching, has been a dead letter and the inarches have been continued daily. No dis¬ turbance of any kind has occurred,the 'officials of the miners contriving through the n hole time to keep their men within peaceful bounds. A preliminary injunction was issued Thursday by Judges Collier and Stowe, which now brings the matter to the county courts for settlement. The order includes President Ratch- ford and Lee Pierce, of the United Mine Workers of America, and Presi¬ dents Dolan and Warner, of the Pitts¬ burg District Mine Workers. The hearing of the case and the de¬ cision is looked forward to with much interest. The miners and their offi¬ cials claim that they are keeping within the law and have the right to assemble in peace and demonstrate to the world that they are being wronged by a rate of wages that keeps them constantly at the point of starvation; also that they have a right to use their presence and influence among men who are militating against their in¬ terests by continuing at work. The New York and Cleveland Gas Coal Company, on the other hand, as¬ sert that the marches and assemblages are unlawful and a menace to their employes, many of whom, they say, are willing to work provided the strik¬ ers remain away. Looking at the matter from this standpoint, the com¬ pany made its radical move in the courts to bring about a condition un¬ der which the company can operate its mines. ' The bill for an injunction against the United Mine Workers’ was filed in the county courts about noon by coun¬ sel for the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal Company. The defendants named are the United Mine Workers of America, Patrick Dolan, president; Edward McKay, vice president; NVil- liam Warner, secretary and treasurer, and others. Judge Collier granted a preliminary injunction restraining order and en¬ joining the defendants from assem¬ bling or marching or encamping in proximity to the mines and houses of the miners for the purpose by intimida¬ tion, menaces, threats and approbious words, of preventing the miners of the plaintiff from working. It further restrains the defendants from inducing or compelling any em¬ ploye or miner to quit work. A hearing was fixed for August 16th. The injunction is regarded as the most sweeping yet issued. President Dolan expressed surprise when informed that it had been granted, and aided: “It will make no difference to ns. We will not break camp and will go right along as usual until the matter is tested in the courts. We will stay there regardless of every judge in Al¬ legheny county, and if they try to en¬ force the injunction they will have to build more jails to accommodate the men.” If the strikers continue their marches in the morning, as they now say they will, in defiance of the injunction, capiases will be issued for the offend¬ ers on the charge of contempt of court. Should the injunction be enforced, the strikers’ camps around the DeArmitt mines will soon be extinct. The strikers, though excited over the turn of events, are in no wise dis¬ heartened. Developments at Cannons- burg are being watched closely. MAIL QUARANTINED. Pouches from Alabama Towns Withcld from Columbus, Ga. Until further developments no mail will be forwarded from Montgomery or Birmingham, Ala., to Columbus, Ga., on account of the smallpox scare. The Columbus authorities recently quarantined against the two Alabama cities, and gave orders that no mail, should be received at the Columbus postoffice from either of the places until it had been fumigated. It developed that that the postoffice department has no funds available to meet the fumigating expenses and the superintendent of mails has given or¬ ders that no mails shall be forwarded. CANOVAS’ REMAINS AT MADRID. Received By Ministers, Diplomats and Civil Authorities. The remains of the late premier of Spain, Senor Canovas del Castillo, ar¬ rived at Madrid Wendesday from Santa Agueda. They were met at the railroad sta- tion by the ministers, members of the diplomatic corps and civil and mill- tary authorities of Madrid and its vicinity. MAYFIELD OF ITS RACE. mil Not Further Contest fur South Car¬ olina Senatorial Honor. The incident of the South Carolina senatorial campaign meeting at Y’ork- viile Thursday was the withdrawal of Candidate Mayfield. Mayfield attacking had made his customary speech the tariff views of MoLaurin and in¬ sisting that he was not now nor had ever been in a combination. He then said that on Wednesday and on previ¬ ous occasions he had charged MoLau¬ rin with having written the populist platform and attempting to organize that- party in South Carolina. At Spartanburg McLaurin had de¬ nied the charges; but after getting what he regarded as further evidence, he offered McLaurin that if he did not prove the charges he had made he would withdraw from the race, and if he proved them, McLaurin himself should withdraw. Mayfield said he had made the charges in good faith, and that he never misrepresented any¬ one. He was now satisfied from what he had heard and from conclusive proof shown him by MoLaurin, that lie did not dictate the populist plat¬ form and that McLaurin did succeed in striking out that portion relating to organization in the state, and to Me- Laurm more than any one else was due the credit that there was no popu¬ list fight made in South Carolina. BROCKS AND REYNOLDS GUILTY. Murderers of M. C. Hunt Are Both Sen¬ tenced to Hang;. Bud Brooks and Grady Reynolds, the murderers of M. C. Hunt, were both found guilty hang at Jefferson, Ga., and sentenced to for their crime. Neither of the juries recommended the prisoners to the mercy of the court and the gallows will avenge the death of the peaceful old merchant of Bellton, who was murdered by the conspirators. The argument in the case of Bud Brooks, the first- of the murderers placed on trial, was finished Tuesday night. Wednesday morning Judge Hutchins delivered his charge to the jury and in twenty minutes the jurors filed out of their room with the ver¬ dict in the hands of the foreman. Ten minutes elapsed and Judge Hutchins called the case of the state against Grady Reynolds, charged with murder. In little more than five hours after he was placed on trial the second jury brought in the verdict that made Reynolds a victim of the gallows. The jury was out only sev¬ enteen minutes. CONVICTS HIRED OUT. State of Alabama Makes a Good Bargain Financially. A Montgomery, Ala., dispatch says: An exceedingly important contract, involving the settlement of a very vexed question, for a term of years at least, was entered into by the state Thursday night. The state convicts were leased and all of those now in the mines in the Birmingham district will remain there. The terms of the lease are as follows: General Charles M. Shelley takes 150 first, second and third-class men at $16, $12 and $8 per month, respect¬ ively. He will work them in ore mines and rock quarries in the Birmingham district. The Sloss Steel and Iron Company, of Jefferson county, Alabama, the sec¬ ond mining and manufactiag company in importance in the state, takes 250 first, second and third-class men at $14, $10 and $7, respectively. The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail¬ way Company takes the balance, about 650, at same rates the Sloss company pays. It is estimated that the contracts made will net the state a profit of $500,000 per year. RESTORES FORFEITED LANDS. Interior Department Reaffirms Action in Grants in Alabama. Acting Secretary Ryan, of the inte¬ rior department, lias reaffirmed a for¬ mer action of the department in the matter of forfeited lands of the Mobile and Girard land grants in Alabama, in¬ volving about 20,000 acres. The lauds of the contemplated road were forfeited under the general for¬ feiture railroad lands, but the law contained a provision protecting bona fide purchases of lands which had been patented to the company. Through several alleged sales and pur¬ chases the Perdido Land Company claimed to have purchased the right in the forfeited lands. CAUGHT ON TRESTLE. Motlicr and Daughter Crushed to Dsath By a Train. Mrs. Tolar and her twelve-year-old daughter were run over and killed on a trestle at Red Springs, N. C., Wed¬ nesday, by the train from Fayetteville. They were walking on a trestle aud the mother was trying to rescue the girl, who got her feet hung as she was about to jump off. The mother was on the point of jumping, but stopped and remained with the child. The train knocked the mother oft the trestle, while the little girl’s bodV was cut up into fragments, half the body dropping through the crossties into the stream below. THE INDIANA DOCKED. Uncle Sam’s Great Battlealiip Will Be Put In Good Order. The United States battleship Indi¬ ana was successfully placed in dry dock at Halifax, N. S., Thursday morning. Although the hour was early, hundreds witnessed the docking. Two hundred of thfe ship’s crew were placed at the disposal of Con- tractor Bowles and the manager of the dock.

He Advises Populists to Sever all Dela¬ tions With Mr. Butler and Work Tog-ether In Harmony. Milton Burke, who at the national conference of populists at Nashville, _ Tenn., July 4th, appointed .... chair- was man of the national organization com- Diittee, created at the conference, is- sues a lengthy address to the populists of the United States. He reviews the origin and organiza- tion of the party, naming the abuses which led dissatisfied elements of the ohl parties to create a new one and coming to personal conditions, declares that “the trusts, the monopolies, the corporations, tho moneyed interests of the country are organized. Their strength is concerted into the action of one man; hence their power, their cess. If the people’s party would hope to succeed they must organize, they must unify; they must eoncen- trate their strength. We are confront- ed today by obstacles and enemies within and without,” After reviewing the action of the conventions at Omaha and St. Louis and deploring the events of 1896, the ad¬ dress continues: “As chairman of your organization committee I urge everypopulist,every¬ where, to avoid,, repudiate and reject all fusion or alliance with the derno- eratic or the republican party. “I suggest that throughout the en¬ tire country wherever there are two or more populists in a ward, precinct or township they go to work at once,per¬ sistently-, to perfect a local populist organization in their midst. Press the work until you shall have secured a compact organization in every county in your state. “If y nr state chairman-is not in sympathy with the policy declared at Nashville, you should select one who is as soon as practicable. In those states where the state chairman and national executive committeemen are in harmony with the policy declared at Nashville, the national organization committeemen will aid them in every manner possible to strengthen the party organization. In this way an enthusiasm can be developed that will know no defeat, no surrender. Pre¬ serve and perpetuate it by the peace¬ ful means of the ballot.” TELLER GIVES WARNING. Advises Free Coinage Republicans to Hold Aloof From Mi’Kliileyifces. Senator Teller arrived at Denver, Col., Friday. In an interview he ex¬ pressed himself as strongly opposed to a combination of the silver republi¬ cans vith McKinley republicans in the state this fall. On the money ques¬ tion he said: “It is the purpose undoubtedly of this administration to retire the greenbacks and treasury notes and perfect a systefh by which the national banks will be authorized to issue all paper money. “Their next move will be to retire silver and then bank notes will not be legal tender. “What will be the result: The administra¬ tion will have succeeded In making gold the only money by which debts can be paid. All debts will have to be paid in the yellow metal.” FORGAVE THE ASSASSIN. Touching- Scene at the Funeral of Senor Canovas (lei Castillo. The funeral of Senor Canovas del Castillo, at Madrid Friday, was a touching and solemn ceremony. All the troops of the garrison lined the route along which the cortege moved; the flags were lowered ami the public buildings, embassies, consulates aud clubs were heavily draped with crepe. A peculiarly poignant scene ensued as the duke of Solomayer, Marshal Martinez Campos, Marquis Paso del la Merrzed and the other pallbearers lifted the coffin. Senora Canovas, in a clear, firm tone, said: “I desire that all should know I for¬ give the assassin. It is the greatest sacrifice I can make, but I make it for the sake of what I know of my hus¬ band’s great heart.” OUR RIGHTS IN MOROCCO. United States Vico Consul Carle ton Will Conclude Settlement.

The Peace Arrangements Between Greece and Turkey About Consummated. Advices of Friday from Constanti¬ nople are to the effect that some of the ambassadors have not yet received the replies of their government in regard to the evacuation compromise propos¬ ed by the Turkish minister for foreign affairs, Tewfik Pasha, but it is expect¬ ed the compromise will be accepted aud that the peace preliminaries may be signed at ouce. | PRINCES J O CROSS SWORDS. : Duel Arrang'd Between Henry of Orlenna mill Prince Victor. A special from Paris says: The sec¬ onds of Brinco of Orleans and General Albertone had a brief conference Fri¬ day and, it is said, postponed the dis¬ cussion of the proposed prince, duel between the general and the in conse¬ quence of the intervention of Prince Victor Emmanuel, count of Turjn, the second nephew of the King of Italy, who claims precedence over all others in the matter. The count is a major of cavalry in the Italian service. A local newspaper of Rome says that the Count of Turin, who is under- stood to have challenged Prince Henry of Orleans to fight a duel, left Italy secretly for the purpose, his departure (, e j n g unknown even to the commis- sioner of police. It is added that the count was accompanied by the Mar- ques di Ginori and uu aide-de-camp, Swords are reported to have been selected as the weapons to be used. The causes which have led to the challenging of Prince Henry by Ital- iau officers are of unusual interest and sufficient in themselves to make this the most famous duel of the century, aside from the prominence of those in- volved. The tronble all arose over the prince’s comments published in the Paris Figaro on the conduct of the Italian prisoners at the Court of Menelik. The Italians were furious, and every officer who survived the terrible battle at Abbey Abeba an- nouneed bis determination to fight the young explorer upon his return from Abysinnia. Prince Heury, who is persoml y very brave, immediately signified his willingness to sustain his position in the matter, and offered to meet the chief in rank among his challengers. This man was General Albertone. Many other challenges, however, were hurled at the young prince, and al¬ most the entire Italian army wanted to fight him. Prince Henry returned to Paris a few days ago from his expedition and immediately took np the matter of the challenges. Preliminaries and ar¬ rangements for the meeting with Gen¬ eral Albertone were commenced and the duel between the two was regard¬ ed as inevitable, when another, and even higher, personage, appeared on the scene and demanded the right, by . reason of rank, of crossing swords with the scion of the house of Orleans. If the princes are brought together on the field of honor it will be the most remarkable and important duel of the present century. GEORGIA PENSION MIX-UP. The Appropriation Was Not Quite Suffi¬ cient to Go Bound. There is a curious complication in the Georgia pension fund this year. The legislature appropriated $150,000 for invalid pensions, thinking there would be 2,500 applications. There were 2,000 on the rolls last year, and it was estimated that there would be 500 more. Instead of that there would be by the time the origi¬ nal 2,000 were paid that there would be 1,000 more. There was full pay for only half that number, so, after a consultation between the governor and the pension commissioner it was decided to divide the remaining $30,000 among the applicants whose claims had been ap¬ proved. These applicants got $30 each. Now it is said that these $30 men having received pensions under the same law as that which gave $60 each to the first 2,000 have a claim on the state for $30 each to put them on the same basis with the others. SHERMAN CAUSES WORRY. His Utterances ami Actions a Tliom In the President’s Side. A Washington special says; That something serious is pending in the state department no one at the capital denies, but just what turn things are going to take is problematical. The foreign diplomats in Washington all notified their governments the condi¬ tion of the secretary of state, but it is none the less embarassing for the ad¬ ministration to read nearly every morning some undiplomatic expression from the head of the cabinet. It is injustice, not only to this coun¬ try and its public men, but to the aged Sherman himself, for papers to print interviews with him at all. Everything he snvs is promptly tele¬ graphed abroad and public sentiment here is judged by these interviews. M’LAURIN IS ILL. South Carolina Senator Will Stop Hi^ Campaign Work. A Columbia, S. C., special says: Governor Elierbe received a dispatch Saturday afternoon from George M. Crossland, Senator McLaurin’s private secretary, from the Senator’s home in Bennettsville, stating that Senator McLaurin’s illness is more serious than was first supposed, and summon¬ ing the governor, who is a strong per¬ sonal friend of the senator, to his bed¬ side by the evening train. McLaurin’s physician has absolutely forbidden him from attempting to con¬ tinue his campaign work for the pres- ent. This leaves the campaign work open to Evans, Irby and Duncan. CANOVAS’ WIDOW OBJECTS. Premier’s Remain* Not To Be Gazed Upon By the Public. A Madrid dispatch states that Senora Canovas del Castillo, widow of the dead premier, objected to his remains lying in state and the admission of the public* to the mortuary chamber at the family’s residence was stopped. government It is the intention of the to confer upon the widow the dignity of a standee of the first class and a pension of 30,000 pesetas.
