TONIGHT!
John W. Maddox Closes the Cam
paign at the Couit House
ELECTION TOMORROW
Judge Maddoxwill be Certain
towin. It is Imperative for
Every Voter to Vote For
Bonds And Mad
dox.
Tomorrow is the day !
Elections occur all ove the Uni
ted States, and the result is being
watched with great interest.
It remains to be seen what the
people think of the democoatic ad
ministration, and the result tomor
row will have a great influence in
the prsidental campaign in 1896,
But natually people here turn
with greater interest to the ques
tion of aco gressman in the se.*
I enth and bonds for Floyd County.
John W. Maddox, the democrats
Candidate for re-election, has made
a conscientious and able represen
tative, and the people will not turn
him down for Dr. Felton, whose
political opinions charge with ev
ery moon.
Dr. Felton in the first place lay
ing aside any questton of his abili
ty, physically eniable to gothrough
two years of hard work in Congress
But he has been so notoriously
changeable in his views, that he
should not, and we believe, will
not get the vote of people who stop
to take a considerate view of the
i tuaiton.
John Maddox —Our John as he
is familiarly called —has been loy
al and conscientious in his efforts
to do all in his power for his con
stituents. And while he is in the
strictest sense of the word a demo
cratic, he has done nothing that
is against the masses. It seems
that his only sin is in being a dem
crat.
Tonight Judge Maddox will close
the campaign by speaking at the
court house here. The speaking
takes place at 7:80, and everybody
should go out. .
Tomorrow morning the polls wi I
open at the court house at 7 o’clock
at the court house, The election
manager have not been decided
upon up to time we go to press.
However, Judges E. R. Lumpkin
and Walter Harris will be on hand.
The question on bonds has been
thoroughly canvassed, and the out
look is bright and carrying tl •
day.
But it is imperative that you go
out and vote.
Remember the speaking tonight
at the court house.
And most of all remember to
vote for John Maddox and bonds
tomorrow.
Mr. W. S, Allcorn, of Polk
county visited his sisters Mrs
Floyd and Felton, a few days last
week. He wa? accompanied home
by Tom Floyd, who has been quite ■
sick for several months.
MEXICO QUAKES
And Thirteen People in the City are
Crushed to death.
HEAVY LOSS OF PROPERTY
Prisenors in Jails fall on their
knees and Konfess their
Krimes. Panicks in the
Theaters Resul seri
ously.
Mexico City, Nuv.s. —The earth
quake which visited this section of
the republic Friday evening was
the most-severe that has been felt
since ISSB.
Report of damage to life and
property are slow in being collect
ed, but it is knowu that thirteen
people wers killed in this city and
at least three at oatside points
Many roofs of old buildings fell in
crushing to instant death the oc
cupants of the houses. All the kill
ed are among the lower classes.
The earthquake waa preceded by
a rumbling subterranean noise
followed by a movement of the
ground from nor.h to sou b. This
was followed in a few seconds by
another undulating and stronger
vibration from west lo east, which
in turn was succeeded by a shock
from northwest to southwest.
The thr-’e shocks coming as t »y
did from different quartns, badly
cracked gthe strongest building*
Tall cbineys fell and jwalls stand
ing north and south suffered great
damage,
From telegraphic advices from
central and southern Mexico the
disturbance is shown to have cov
ered the state and federal district
of Mexico and lasted from one to
four minutes. Seven distinct
shocks were felt at Jojutla, in the
state of Morelos, a id smart shocks
were felt at Tulancingo, in the
state of Hidalgo At Ojuscoan In
dian and his wife were crushed to
death under the roof of their adobe
house.
PANICS IN THE THEATERS.
Being a holiday and one of the
chief festivitval days of the year
the theaters were thronged and
panics ensued. Several people were
hurt in the rush of exit and many
women went into hysterics. The
songs on the stage were succeeded
by impassioned prayers for for
giveness and confession of error.
The plays were generally aban
doned and the audience remained
in the seats kneeling in prayer.
Traffic was completely abandon
ed at the first premonition. Dri
vers deserted the street ears and
coachmen their hacks to kneel in
prayer along with the throngs send
ing up their supplications. In pal
ace and in humble home nothing
but prayer was to be heard.
The threatened destruction was
made more solemn by the fringing
of belle in the swaying church tow
era. Not a church was injuried
by the twisting. The entire police
of the city was kept busy du
ring the night in attending the
casualties occasioned bv falling
walls and caving roots The police
stations were crowded with people
brought in for temporary treat
ment before being "removed to the
hospitals.
PRISONERS CONFESS THEIR CRIMES.
In Belam and other prisons,
where many desperate cnmnals
are confined, the scenes witndssed
were curious, as the walls swayed
and the earth cracked, threatening
to entomb the imprisoned inmates.
The convicts, almost without ex
ception, fell upon their knees or
groveled on the floors of their cells
with loud voices crying out pray
ers and supplications. Many, sup
posing their end had some, shout
ed out cefessions of past crime.
This is one of the most dramat
ic passages in the passing of the
event and may be of use to the of
ficers of the law in unravelling the
many misterieus crimes in Mexi
CO’
The water pipes leading from
Chapultepec to the city was broken
and the greater part of the city is
in danger of a water famine unless
tne connection is soon restored-,
which will take jome time.
The electric lights were extm
gnisbed, the dynamo axle in the
plant leaping from its h»d. Great
cranks in the earth appearing in
various parts of the city, especial
ly t lie northern sections.
POLICE COURT.
Several Sinners Pay the Penalty
for Their Misdeeds.
The Monday morning session of
police court is nearly always a good
one, as Saturday nights is a regu
lar time for gathering in the bad
’uns.
Milton Waldon, a country
gentleman got drunk and dis
orderly last Saturday,[and went to
the cooler to meditate.Th is J morn
ing be paid $4 and went home.
Saturday night four coons were
disorderly, and in order to escape
Policeman Copeland, got in a hack
and drove furiously towards the
Fifth ward. But Mr. Copeland i
long limbed and runs like a scared
rabbit and he headed the whole
outfit off at Miller’s store.
He “headed them up,” and told
the hackman to turn around and
drive back to town. When the ne.
gron started to obey orders, the
old vehicle broke down, and “drapt
’emj”
But the whole band were landed
n Jthe station house and this
morning answered roll call about
as follows: JoeJ Hall, $3; Allan
Thomas, $4; Henry Fleetwood, $4
John Malone, $4.
Ed Jones and John Jackson were
drunk and disorderly and were
fined $4.50 each.
Jim Swain (and Charley Grant
were up on a charge of fighting and
disorderly conduct, and Swain was
dismissed but Grant was fined $2.-
50.
