Private Per kins, of Company B, Fifth Regiment, Ohio National Guard, doing duty at the Brown Works, was shot in the middle of the right thigh some time to-day. Officers and men of the regiment are reticent concerning the shooting, and either decline to talk or profess abso- lute ignorance of any such occurrence. Two Btorles are current. One given out by a soldier is to the effect that Private Perkins was accidentally shot while fooling with a revolver at 4 a. m. to day. Another account is that Perkins, with three other men under Corporal Trail, did duty all of last night In front of 317 Kirtland stret.

Grand Rapids, Mich., Aug. 6. Not withstanding the continued heat and humidity, Lockerby Hall was again packed with delegates and spectators when Chairman Giddings rapped the Republican State convention to orcr at 9:30 o'clock this morning for its sec ond day s session. The St. Clair delegation question was first taken up and the convention by a viva voce vote sustained its action of last night, seating both contesting del- gations, giving each delegate half a vote. tsenton i-iancnett, or saeanaw. a Bliss adherent, appealed from the rul ing of the chair on the question, but the convention by an overwhelming vote laid the appeal on the table. This emphasized Mayor Pingree's victory of last night and his adherents received the result of the vote with much ap plause. Delegates then took the floor to sec ond the nomination of different candi dates. The seconding speeches occupied nearly an hour and at 10:45 a roll call was ordered for the nomination for Governor. The first ballot resulted as follows: Pingree 339, Bliss 293. O'Donnell 83, Wheeler 47, Aitken 56, Connant 22. The second ballot also resulted in no choice.

Special to the Observer. High Point, Aug. 6. This morning at an early hour a large congregation as- l business meeting convened, and was I much more lareelv attended than on I yesterday. Charles Jessup, the well- I known minister from Indiana, who has i been expected, arrived last night, and was In attendance to-day. OFFICERS' CHOSEN. The first business transacted this morning was the selection of perma nent officers of the Yearly Meeting. The following were chosen: For pre siding clerk, Louis Lyndon Hobbs, president of Guilford College; for read ing clerk, Geo. W- White, treasurer of Guilford College; for recording clerk, Charles F... Tomlinson, of Archdale. Wm. Jasper Tomlinson and E. Edgar Farlow were appointed messengers. The nominating committee, recom- mended yesterday, reported the selec tion of a committee on returning min utes, with Joel G. Anderson, of High Point, as chairman. The usual queries and answers were read, together with the statistical re ports. From the latter It was learned that there are now 5,454 members of the Society of Friends in North Carolina, and 1,716 of these are under 21 years of age. Seventy-one members use alco holic liquors as a beverage, but from the discussion which followed the read ing of the report, it is an evident fact that the time is not far off when no man can be a member of the Society of Friends and at the same time use in toxicating drinks. The number of min isters in the Society is 59. Referring to the subject of the use of Intoxicating drinks, Jonathan Zach- ary said: "We are talking of turning out all our members who drink how many of us are trying to put it out of their reach? Walter Malone said: "Salvation Is what is needed among those who use intoxicants. Then you strike at the root of the; matter. Send your minis ters among them and get them saved. and then, like dead leaves dropping from a tree, these old habits will drop from your members." CHARLES JESSUP TALKS. During the discussion as to the gen eral state of the Society, Charles Jes sup, of Indiana, rose and made a brief. but exceedingly appropriate talk. He said that the Friends had always had an excellent name, and that this was a thing to be proud of. However, he doubted whether the honor was always worthily conferred. He said: Some people don't know just how bad some of us are at times. The time has come for Friends to be consistent in carrying out the provisions of the Discipline in their entirety, or expunge those that cannot be adhered to." He also stated that he was sorry that the old saying that a "Friend's word is as good as his bond." is not al ways true, and as illustrating this, he told of a picture that he had I seen in the State house In Indianapolis I The picture represented a horse Jockey sitting in his buggy, driving an old I horse that closely resemwed a stack or I hones. By the roadside was the man 1 horse a nice looking Quaker with his broad-brim hat and regulation Quaker I coat. As the Jockey passed the Quaker he remarked:' "No. 1 don't ask you to take him back, but I would like your hat and coat until T can sell him again." Concluding, the speaker urged that Friends should always seek to be worthy of the high name that has been given them. The reading of epistles was resumed and those from London, Canada, Ire land, Baltimore and Indiana Yearly Meetings were taken up. The session was a most Interesting one, and was attended by a full house. Adjournment at 12:16 p. m. AFTERNOON MEETING. At the beginning of the afternoon session Rufus P. King gave a detailed account of his recent religious visit among friends In England. Ireland. France and Italy. He spoke feelingly of the warm welcome that had been ex tended to Him on every hand; of bis visits among the Waldenses, and of the prosperous condition of the Society of I-Tieffidft fn the Old World. He said that there were no evidences of the de cay of Quakerism where he had trav eled. It appeared from the roll eall Ithat many of the Representatives who were absent yesterday-had arrived and were present at the meeting. ' The evangelistic committee made a good report. Showing the scope of their work during the year Just ended. Thalx field was wide and a vast amount of work had been accomplished.

The Idea that the I prime object of the Society of Friends is to save souls was strongly set forth I by several members. I At the conclusion of the business I meeting Walter Malone. who Is a pro found Bible student, gave an address on "The Plan of the Ages." It was a comprehensive explanation of the Bible and was made intensely interesting by I illustrations- prepared especially for I use in this address.

Raleigh, Aug. 6. The other day Hiram L. Grant, a member of the Republican State com mittee, and who Is spoken of by some or tne Brethren as "a Republican for revenue only," said that Senator But ler did not dare permit the noses of his Populist forces to be counted. Grant went on to say that the Republicans I that his v success at St. Louis has I changed the whole .olan. Further than I this Grant said positively that there 1 would be fusion on. the State ticket he- 1 1 ween the Republicans and Populists. "It is policy, not principle." said he. "we must get control of the Legisla ture ana or the election machinery. Otho Wilson spoke of this matter to day and said: "It is news to me. Of course the Republicans want to get the legislature aoove all things. It is the hardest of all to get." The question was asked if the Populists were wil ling to fuse electorally and Wilson re- piled yes, if they were treated fatrlv. Then the same question was asked as to State fusion and the reply was that I It depended on the same thing. But Senator Butler's paper to-day taKes a decided stand against fusion In a leading editorial it says: The Democratic State executive committee has passed resolutions which bear the appearance of willing ness to be fair and reasonable. The real purpose is to try to make a propo sition which no self-respecting Popu list could entertain for a moment, and then when such proposition is indig nantly rejected, to go-before the people and try to make it appear that the Populists are not honest because they I rejected overtures looking to co-ppera- tlon. There Is not a Democrat in the universe smart enought to catch the ordinary North Carolina Populist in such a trap as this, and they are here by formally notified of that fact." The same paper says further: "Chairman Jones Is a strong repre sentative of the worst type of Bourbon Democracy and would rather vote for Cleveland to-day and be 'thick' with Whitney, Hill and Brice, than support Bryan or any genuine reform Demo crat, Jones is supposed to be a mouth piece or Bryan. If Jones is expressine the sentiments of Bryan, then the lat ter is proving to be a man unfit for the I presidential chair. If this young states- man's head is bcomlng swelled on ac count of honors that have been accord ed him. he should be promptly remind ed that the same forces which caused that swelling can do that which will unswell it, and that very little provo cation is needed for doing it. He Is by no means the only man in America whom genuine reformers are willing to vote for." H. L. Grant says he believes W. A. Guthrie is to succeed Butler as Popu list State chairman, tbe Senator thus not losing any of his power or control of the State. George Z. French, who Is one of Rus sell's right hand men, appears to be disposed to put James H. Young and Loge Harris on the black-list since their declaration that the Republican electors ought to come down or else be taken down and Bryan electors put up. Some Republicans say if Russell were I to ao sucn a thing as to come down a convention would at once be called and another candidate put up. Here is what one of the ablest Re publicans in the State, and a strong silver man, says: "In one week the line will be drawn. All the silver men will I walk into their places, and the gold men mro tneirs. i ne latter oeiong m the Republican party and must go there and vote the Republican ticket. The silver men In the Republican party will be smoked out of the Republican party. There are lots of silver Republicans: as many as are In the Democratic par ty,, in the rank and file. The Demo cratic party will divide, and on the basis of fusion. If Bryan Is .elected there will be a new party. All his past utterances point to It. He is .the pec ple's man. English and foreign influ ences have controlled both the old par ties ror zo years. Bryan's feelings are against all these. He will become the head of the great American party. Mc Kinley's supporters are frightened. We are going to beat him. In this State the electoral vote will be apportioned equally among the silver Demo crats, the PopuHsts and the silver Re publicans. If the Republicans and Populists can't fuse electorally, they can't fuse on anything. There will be no Republican-Populist fusion unless the Republicans electors come down." To-day the Democratic State chair man occupied the new headquarters, the most commodious and convenient ever used for that purpose here. He has as assistants. Secretary John Thompson. Volunteer Assistant Luther Waugh, of Surry, H. M. Cowan, of Ral eigh, and a typewriter. There is a large room for meetings of the commit tee, etc. An entire residence Is thus se cured. Chairman Manly has lost no time in getting at work. It is said to be not probable that the full proceedings of the Democratic State committee will ever be made public. Paul B.

Others say the true reason why fusion, elec- torany, was agreea on was oecause it would make State fusion sure. A great many people are asking why the Demo cratic committee proposes fusion, and various replies to the inquiry are made. One is that the rank of the file of the party demanded it; not that Populists aemanaea it. otners say simpiy, "to wm." Yet others assert that the wis- dom of the committee's decision will be seen clearly bye and bye; that by election all Democrats will come to- gether and that they can't afford to dol otherwise The State Superintendent of Public Instruction has in hand reports of the public schools from 60 counties.

Thos. E. Watson, chairman ot the state ex ecatlve committee, and as he mounted the platform he was given a -great ova tion by delegates and spectators. The convention assembled in the hall of the House of Representatives of the State Capitol and Is largely attended. Chair man Watson -made no extended re marks as he is reserving his speech for to-night's rally of the Populists which will take place at the city tabernacle at which Watson will -be the central figure. : r After the completion of the tempo rary organisation a recess was taken until 1 o clock. The convention re-assembled at 1:30 o'clock.' Judge J as K Hines was obosen . permanent chairman. Judge Uioes was the defeated fopuitst candi date for Governor two years ago. 1- L. Sibley, of Cobb, was made permanent secretary. Judge Hines spoke briefly, declaring that the Populists were to day masters of the situation and that their principles would triumpn uniess they were very foolish. He said he oould not go tbe whole Democratic hog. and asked the Populists '-not to be alarmed by the silly prating of the fool ish chairman of the Democrauo com mittee." 'I beseech you' be said, "to put out a full electoral ticket ror tsryan ana Watson. It will not do to countenance Sewall, the Democratic nominee for Vice President. If we propose to tight the national banks and great trusts, we cannot take a man who is identified ith both." Numerous resolutions were then in troduced, all of which were referred ithout debate to tbe committee on platform. Several of these demanded the withdrawal of Sewall by the Demo crats, and took tbe position that notb ing would be considered in the way or fusion on tbe electoral tickets un.ess based on Sewall s withdrawal as tne oondition precedent. Tbe committee on platform retired and then the con vention proceeded to the election or a full electoral ticket, or which ex oon gressman W. H. Fdlon was placed at the bead. At 4 o'clock the convention adjourned until to-morrrow morning at 10 o clock, as it was reported that the committee on platform would require several hours to adjust its differences, it navmg struck a snag over me rroaioiuuo question. The Prohibitionists demand an unqualified plank on the Prohibition question, and there is very strong senti ment in tbe committee against it. me most interesting development of to-day was the discovery of the disqualifica tion of Rev J. B. Gambrell as a candi date for Governor The State consti tution provides that no person shall be eligible fur the offioe of Governor who shall not have been a ctizen or tue State for six years. Dr. Gambrell re moved to Georgia from Mississippi three years a?o, and when the '"Middle of the Road ' contingent discovered this thev were ecstatic with joy. Dr. Gambrell bad teen praottcaUy agreed uDon bv the leaders, and it was under stood that it was Mr. Watson's special desire that he shouli be the nominee for Governor. The "Middle of he Roaders" opposed him bitterly oh the ground th&t he had not been in enve affiliation with the party long enough to justify this recognition. Dr. (jrrim orell is a prominent ts&ptisi m mis er and an enthusiastic Prohibitionist, and it was to oatoh the prohibition strength 'aDd unite it with the Popu- ists. that his name was oeine ursea. The discovery of his excellent disquali ficaiion promptly tenovtd him, how ever, and ii is certain tha. the conven- lon will now nominate eitner juage Hines or W. L Peek for Governor to morrow, feek was tne nominee or tne party four years ago, and Hines two years ago. The inoicaiioos lo-nigu. are tbat Peek will be nominated to morrow, and that Hines will retire in his beha'f Great' preparations have been made for tc-nighfs rally at the city taber nacle; and Mr. Watson's speech to night will announce his campaign policy.
