of the governor’s message and the
formal election of the officers
named by yesterday’s democratic
caucuses.ln both houses ths popu
lists had tickets for every office
voted on. In the house the vote,
in almost every case, stood about
63 for the democrats and 34 for
the opposition nominees. In (he
penate. the vote stood abeut 24 to
7 in favor of the democratic nomi
nees.
President Pettus and Speaker
Clark each made a few patriotic
and eloquent remarks upon assum
ing their respective ' chairs. Both
houses tendered a vote of thanks
lotheir retiring officers.
Committees were uppoidted by
both houses and jointly to notify
the governor of their* permanent
org imzation. ‘Th a jo:lit committee
waited upon Governor Jones, and
soon thereafter Private Secretary
Kirk J ackson presented to each
house a copy of the governor’s
bennial message. These were read
by the clerks.
The message is exhaustive and
voluminous, containing some 30.-
000 words. It is pronounced by all
a masterly document. Its reading
oanasiumed the larger pait of the
session of both houses.
No bills were introduced in the

“TAR HEEL" SENATORS.
Will Both Vote With The Republi
cans in The next Senate.
New York, November 15. —A
special to the Evening Post from
Raleigh, N. C., says: Marion But
ler, the president of the National
Farmers’Alliance, who is stated
to succeed Senator Ransom in the
United States senate after March
4th next, is reported as having
stated that he would vote with the
republicans in the organization of
the next senate.
It tn is is so the republicans can
count on both of North Carolica’s
votea in the organization of the
senate, aa the other senator, to. be
elected in January by the legisla
ture to succeed Jarvia, will be a
republican.
Dr, J. J. Mott, ex-chairman of
the republican committee, seems to
be in the lead for that position.

MusoogAA, I. T., Nov. 15—Four
United States marshals weregaard
lug the express car of the Missouri
Kansas and Texas train which w«g
held up by th»s Co«k gang yesit r
day, but they were as useless an
lambs until the bandits had dis* p
peared. There were six msrsaals in
the coaches, but they contrihu ed
their guns, money and jewelry
without a tvurmer.
Indian Agent Wisdom has wired
Secretary Smith for troops forth
with. L. C. Perryman, Chief of the
Creek nation, wired the United
States attorney, at Fort Smith, to
place his marshal jn the Cherokee
nation and that he would place
seventy-five Indian sheriffs in the
Creek nation, at the nation’s ex
pense, and drive the Cook gang out
of the Creek nation or kill them.
Agent Wisdom has wired all his
Indian police to report at ths agnn
cy at once, J. J. McAllister, United
States marshal for the Indian Ter
ritory, has just arrived and is co
operating with Chief Perryman,ln
dian Agent Wisdom and theUuitcd
States a'torney for the territory.
Marshal McAllister has 2CO depu
ties that he can draw from ; Agent
Wisdom has twenty-eight Indi m
police and the Fort Smith C'’ irti
has seventv-five marshals. In all
there are 350 men aubjeet to call to
hunt the robbers down.
Troops are not neceaaary if the
various officials will compel th*re
men to do their duty. It is the
general opiuiou that some of the
deputy marshals are implicated in
the bold-up, and that they act as
couriers for the gauge. It is also
reported that two of the Indian p >
lice would feel more at home with.
Bill Cook and Cherokee Bill tbau

Since the Arkansas valley tram

The bandits are now hiding abrni

that they will not be molested. I
is generally believed that Muscog-i

A HEAVY CROSS TIE
Onthe Track near the Scene
of the Terrible Wreck of
October 7th. Fortunate
ly no one is Serious
ly Injured.
Bristol, T«nn., November 15
When the Washington and Chatta
nooga vestibule limited was wreck
ed ou the Southern railway thr*e
miles from this city Sunday after
noon, October 7<b, causing so
much loss of life and property, it
was the prevai'ing opinion that
some child had thoughtlessly
placed a bolt bead on the track.
When the Southern railway offi
cials offered a large reward for the
apprehenson of the perpetrator of
the fiendish deed, the public de
clared at once that it was nothing
more than a bluff to avoid the pay
ment of heavy damages.
It now turns out beyond tlie
shadow of a doubt that there are
train wreckers somewhere in this
vicinity. About twenty days ago, a
second attempt was made to wreck
a passenger train at the same place
People tien bigan to open their,
yes ami keep a sharp lookout for
r he vi!l tins. T > lay as engine 251,
with John Patterson at the throttle
was pulling N 0.4 around thesime
curve where the vestibule w-mt off
it struck a heavy crosstie which
had b*e i placed across the track
The tie Was carried some d's ance
and was dragged beneath the wheels
though strage to say, the train kept
the track. The engine was badly
crippled. If the wreckers are to be
found any where the officials will
run them down quite soon,
for the country will be scoured in
the attempt to bring them to jus
tice.
