Gibara and Banes, Two oF the

born.
New York, June 28-A dispatch
to The Herald from Key West
says:
Pri/ate advices from Santiago
province give further details of the
lighting during the past week a
round.Gibara and Banes, between
the insurgents and Spanish for
ces. The advices state that the in
surgents under General Garcia and
Colonel Torres, numbering be
tween 5,000 and 6,000 men attack
ed both of the seaports simultan
eously but met with a stubborn
resistence.
The demonstration against Banes
which is less than ten leagues dis
tant from Gibara, on the north
coast, was merely a feint by the
the rebels to divert attention and
draw the Spanish forces from
Gibara which was the point real
ly to be attacked. The ruse was
partially successful and Garcia
with his forces entered Gibara.
His success, however, only was
of short duration, as he was sub
sequently driven out after a hot
fight, during which many were
killed and wounded on both sides.
Colonel Machado, a veteran of
the ten year wer, says:
General Gomez has planned his
summer campaign and put it in
operation. Already columns of
thousands of well-armed men, un
der efficient leaders, have been dis
tributed throughout Matanzas, Ha
vana and other provinces.”
Mr. C. L. Hasbrouck, a druggist

Carrollton Paper Says C. R. & C.
Line Will Be Extended to
Columbus.
The following article is clipped from
the Carrollton Times, published last
week, and is given for what it is
worth. There is no way of verifying
the report here.
For several days it has been talked
around on the streets that there was a
corps of surveyors at work surveying
a route from here to Columbus, for
the purpose of extending the Chatta
nooga, Rome & Columbus railroad
from this point on to Columbus.
“It is said that the right of way has
been secured a part of the way, and
that the men are at work beyond
Roopville, selecting the route.
“The parties interested worked last
week between here and Roopville.
There are several rumors out in regard
to the survey.
“The one that seems to have some
foundation is that the reorganization
committee of the C. R. & C., railroad
seeing the necessity of extending the
road have gone quietly to work to get
the right of way before letting the
public into their plans.
“If this is the object it will be a
good move for the road and will make
it a financial success, and also give
Carrollton another outlet, but will cut
into some of our best trading ♦erritory.”

Os John Floyd who was born
April 13, 1861, and died May 12
1897.
He was married to Miss Mattie
Thomas in 1882, and after varying
changes moved to Brown county,
Texas. Not finding the Eldorado
he was expecting he came back to
Chattooga last year to die.
Seemingly the deceased fulfilled
the injunction of Holy writ tha t
“he who would have friends must
show himself friendly.” He made
a profession of religion some years
ago, but made the mistake of his
life by not uniting with the church.
He would always show his friend
ship to those he loved and make
them feel happy while in his com
pany. He was devoted to his wife
and children, and to his aged par
ents.
Although not a‘member of the
church yet I believe he was a child
of God. Then dear sister, look up
for what the Lord has thou
knowest not now, but shall here
after. To his parents and sisters
we will say, press on, for by and
by you will be reunited with your
loved ones in a land where there is
no more sorrow and parting—no
more grief nor pain, but where all
is happiness and peace.

We are frequently requested to
print what the writers denominate
“poetry”—words thrown together
with a jingle at the end of each
line, like the music of a tin can at
the end of a dog’s tail. We often
try to darn up and crochet some
of these effusions so they will read
smoothly, but when we find them
with poetic “feet’’ ranging in num
ber from six to thirteen, resemb
ling a thousand legged worm, or
other kind of helmith, we have
either to rebuild the poem or throw
it in the waste basket >u despair.
We would advise our brethren,
that unless they have a pegasus of
their own, not to try riding a bor
rowed-one, but stick to prose. Our
rhyming machine is very much
out of “fix’’ and is too old for re
pairs. or we would put it in motion
and grind their grits over. Again
we say stick to prose, unless the
heavenly spirit of posey is born
within you —you can't borrow it.

London, June 29. —The next issue
of the National Review will con
tain an article announcing an im
portant bimetallic development at
the hands of the United States
monetary commission, consisting
of Senator Edward O. Wolcott, ex-
Vice-President Adlai E. Stevenson
and Gen. Charles Jackson Paine,
which will arrive here in a few days
The commission, according to the
National Review, will present to
the British goverment a joint state
ment from France and the United
States, declaring their desire to
terminate the disastrous experi
ments inaugurated in 1873 and im
ploring our good will and active
concurrence.
The National Review adds: “We
ate able to announce that Eng
land’s reply will be that the gover
ment is willing to reopen the In
dian mints; to make other substan
tial contributions to the rehabili
tation of silver by extending its
use in England; by increasing the
legal tender of silver, making silver
the basis ot notes; empowering the
Bank of England to use its silver
reserve, and that material assis
tance and strong moral support
will be given to the object the Un
ited States and France have in
view.”
COMMENTS AT CAPITAL.
Accuracy of the Statements in the
Review Article Doubted.
Washington, June 29. —The ca
blegram from London today, giv
ing the substance of an article to
appear in the National Review, to
the effect that the United States
monetary commission, of which
Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, is
the head, had met with gratifying
success in France, and stating pos
itively that England would reopen
her Indian mints and otherwise
contribute to an extended use of
silver, was read with interest by
government officials. They had
known that the commission was
very cordially received in France
and that the commissioners were
greatly encouraged by the strong
and apparently increasing silver
sentiment in that countrj T as the
President not long since received
from Senator Wolcott a letter to
this effect. The statement that
England is ready to join in the
movement to the extent of reopen
ing her Indian mints, is received
with many doubts. A copy of the
cablegram was shown to the Presi
dent and to Secretary Gage, but
neither of them cared to express
any opinion on it beyond the state
ment that they feared the Review
article was overdrawn.

McCullough Charged With Being
Intimate With Dead Wife’s
Sister.
Jonesboro, Ga., June 30.—The
trial of McCullough, the Clayton coun

very strong motive for the crime will
be shown.

was intimate with Miss Judson Jones;
his wife’s sister and another sister,
Miss Della Jones, will be placed on
the stand to prove the charges. He
murdered his wife to marry this wo
man.
A big petition is being got up to get
Judge Chandler to hold a special ses
sion of court at once to try McCul
lough. It promises io be one of the
most sensational trials in the history
of the state.

Columbus, 0. Juno 30. —The
democratic state convention here
today was one of the most memo
rable political occasions in the
history of Ohio. It was a conven
tion of unanimity on principles
and of differences on men, espec
ially on those who are candidates
for places on the state ticket. In
the contest for favorites it was also
a convention of endurance, as the
delegates took no recess and were
in session continuously from 10 a.
m. till almost that hour tonight.
It was a free silver convention
throughout. While there were
some differences of opinion about
adopting the anti-trust and the
Cuban resolutions, there was not
a dissenting voice in the conven
tion to the declaration for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to 1, without the
co-operation of any other nation.
The name of William J. Bryan
was mentioned in some way by ev
ery speaker as the only sure way
of bringing out a chorus of ap
plause.
While there was no place on the
state ticket accorded to either the
silver republicans or to the popu
lists, yet representatives of both
these elements co-operated in the
convention and an informal fusion
was perfected. The silver repub
licans and the populists are them
selves responsible for having no
repreeertation on the ticket, as
they would not ask for such repre
sentation, stating that they were
more interested in the platform
than in the offices. Out of the
956 votes cast for supreme judge
there were 922 for John J. Harper,
a silver republican.
R. T. Hough, the favorite for
Governor, was slaughtered because
of the opposition of the rural dis
tricts to the McLean men using
the large delegations from Cincin
nati, Cleveland, Toledo and other
large cities to dictate the head of
the ticket. Those running next
were Chapman, Welty and Sorg,
Welty's name was not presented
after his friends learned that Chap
man had been agreed upon as the
compromise candidate. Hough’s
name was withdrawn before the
balloting began and the name of
Sorg was withdrawn before the re
sult of the first ballot was an
nounced .
The silver republicans held a
conference tonight and expressed
great indignation. They said it
was true that they had announced
that they did not want a place on
the state ticket, but the announce
ment was not made until after
they were toid they could not have
it. They appointed a state com
mittee to call a convention to nom
inate a separate ticket.
The populists also announced
that they would hold a state con-
ws.
