"The election of Bryan is as sure as sunrise to-morrow," said ovie of the big men of the com mittee in the presence of Cliair man Jones to-day. "We put in the doubtful column Ohio, In diana, Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, Wisconsin aud Minnesota, and only need to capture one of this tier of central Northern States to secure victory. "I know the people are being fooled by the Hannaized press, but in this campaign 1 lie voters are not getting their gospel from the newspapers We base these figures on knowledge as accurate as it is possible to obtain, and we have knowledge which neoole kr.ow nothiuur of. tne cause the Hannaized press will not print it.

The Suspected Perpetrators ot the Crime in Jail. A terrible murder was com mitted near Henderson, N.C.,011 Friday last. Two negroes went to the house of a young v white women named Faulkner, of ill repute. With her was her child, ess than a year old. She refused to admit the men and ordered hem to leave. They entered and attacked her with au axe. one received five wounds on the head, and her brains were dash cu. uui. one raised ner arms ,1 i (M - t t to shield Jier head and both were nearly severed. The negroes were captured and are in jail at Henderson. While the evidence against them is largely circum stantial it is said to be very strong. FOR THE SUBMARINE BOAT. HER OFFICERS AND CREW WILL PROBABLY BE DRAWN FROM VOLUNTEERS. With the approach of the ac- rceptance of the submarine boat which is being built at Haiti more by a New York concern for I the navy, there is much gossip regarding the method of details :ing the officers and crew for such a craft. The boat is' unlike anything which has hitherto jj been constructed for the service, -and despite the notable expert iesis nf si tm"1rr u-.-.a -v.ot- Us in the nav decitled doubt as No details will be.madefof course mitil tbe coutractor; de. m0nstrate the ability of the structure to aeeomnlish nil iht is required of it, aud even then it will be a lono- ti-me . hefore many people a:e possess3d of sufficient confidence to sro be neath the surface of the sea in a sealed shell of metal, with noth ing but aitiEcial ventilation to sustain thcan. Undoubtedly the Department will call for volun teers when, the boat is to be of ficered and mauued, in which event i. is safe to say, judging from experinces of the past, that there will be abundant oppor tuuity to. select uiable personnel and a cipabe crew. No More StLaw Votes For Him. An. occurence that took place a few nights ago on a Western train -will have the effect of dis" coivtir ning the practice of tak ing straw votes on the .financial question in thut section of the coaniry. A man named Rohrer was taking a vote on a Wiscon sin train and attempted to arouse a man iu the smoking car by shaking him and exclaim ing, "Gold or Silver?" The passenger, th inking that he was being robbed., jumped on Roh rer and made, things exceedingly lively for a f sv minutes. When order was i istored Rohrer was dragged fror a under a broken seat in a ten ribly battered con dition and h ad to be sent Lo a hospital for treatment. Wasn (t Satisfied. Berkley ;orrespondent of the Norfolk Vi. rginiaji, says: "John R obinson & Franklin Bros.' big s Jiovv passed through town agai: i yesterday morning en route 1 :o Portsmouth. The following inscription was writ ten on a i iew dressed board on the elepha jits'car: "This show was at this place (Elizabeth City) to-day and t was a farce. Notify M. W.

Gosler, a religious fa natic of Evansville, Ohio, met death near. Defiance, Ohio, in a tragic manner, while attempting to walk upon the water in order to demonstrate that his faith was equal to that of the Saviour. Oosler was a young man of the best of habits and good char acter, and was an ardent support er of the doctrine of the Seventh Day Adveutists. He recently became somewhat unbalanced in mind. He was married last Evansport, and since that time had spent all his leisure mo ments reading the Bible. He was at work for a neighbor when, with one companion, he started for dinner. When they reached the dam at the Tifian River he said he would cross on the water, as his faith was sufficient. He spent some mo ments in praying and singing hymns and then boldiy started on the water. Some boys who saw him say he appeared to walk all right for several steps, when suddenly he began to flounder about, finally sinking from sight, singing as he went down Life was ex tinct when the body was re covered. Great crowds have been at tracted by the tragedy, and some feeling is noticeable against the advocates of that faith in the community. SHOT FROM AMBUSH. A Georgian Slain as he Drove Along the Road Captain Geo. B. Berry, of the Effingham Hussars, a company of the First Regiment Georgia Cavalry, was assassinated Satur day last while cn his way from Savannah, Ga., to his home in Effingham county, about 30 miles west of Savannah. His body was found lying iu the road about 8 miles from the city. His head had been blown nearly off by a load of buckshot. The body was found by a party of men which had stopped Berry's horse and buggy several miles from where the tragedy occurred. Berry was riding in a buggy, when, it is supposed, two ne groes, concealed by the roadside, fired on him. Berry reached for his pistol at the bottom of his buggy, but a second shot from the assassins tore away part of his head, and he-fell headlong to the ground. The blood spatter ed over the buggy, and it was this which led to the search by the party which stopped the horse. Officers are on the track of the assassins, and it is be lieved they will be arrested in a short time. The motive for the killing is supposed to have been robbery. KANSAS FOR BRYAN. A Poll Shows He Will Have 50,000 Majority. The allied free silver forces in Kansas have made public the result of a poll of the State. J. Mack Love, chairman of the Democratic State Committee, says : "Bryan will carry Kansas by 50,000 majority. We have official ly heard from enough counties in the State to warrant me in placing the majority at that figure and it would not surprise me if it went even above that." Think it Over. Have you ever heard of a medicine with such a record of cures as Hood's Sarsaparilla? Don't you know that Hood's Sarsaparilla, the One True Blood Purifier, has proved, over and over again, that it has power to cure, even after all other remedies fail? If you have impure blood you may take Hood's Sarsaparilla with the utmost confidence that it will do you good. Hood's Pills assist digestion. 25c. WORK OF THE ii. DESTRUCTION OF LIFE AND PROPERTY IN 'SAVAN NAH, GA. ELEVEN PEOPLE KILLED Will Result in a Financial Loss of $i,ooo,ooo. The huncane which swep over Savannah, Ga., Tuesday at noon, cost nearlv a dozen lives aud entailed a financial loss o nearly Si, 000 ,000. Each report that is received is worse than the last. At first it was thought only one death would be the result of the huncane, but the number has increased until there is eleven people reported dead. The loss to shipping will amount to over $100,000.. The most serious casual y was the cap sizing in mid stream of the Savannah River of the Norwe gian bark Rosenius, grounding of Morgan bark Cab, drifting oft of Norwegian bark R. D. Met- calf, and the total loss of the tug Robert Turner. The steamer Governor Safford, of Beach and Miller Line, is aground in Coop er river, and all craft have suffer ed much, many naptha launches and small sailing vessels liaving gone out to sea. The Tybee Railroad is badly damaged, many bridges being out of plumb. Tybee, Thunder bolt, Montgomery and Isle of Hope, all prominent resorts hear j Savannah, were hurt by the blow. The heavv rain at Staunton, Va., on Tuesday resulted that evening in the bursting of the dam of the lake at the Fair Grounds, the waters of which, rushing into Lewis' Creek which runs through the city flooded the lower or business section, destroying a vast deal of property, and causing the loss of several lives. The large brick building known as the Wilke' Building was undermined and ell with a cn.sh. Burk's large livery stable was turned upside down. The bridges over the creeks were swept away. The Crowle Building is a wreck. Thornburg's stable is a ruin and there is general wreck every. where. A special to the Dis says the scene in the flooded district beggars description, the streets being a mass of debris. About forty horses aud mules were drowned, and the bodies of ive negroes have been recovered. Other persons are missing. DYING LIKE SHEEP- Colored Colonists in Liberia are Starring, Naked and Diseased. The steamship Waeslaud, which arrived at Philadelphia this week from Liverpool, brought back six of the colored colonists who went out to Liberia early in the spring on board the famous steamship Lautada. They tell of horrible tales of sufferings from disease and destitution by the unfortunate people who gave up their homes in this country to journey to that distant repub lic to accept what appears to be liberal offers there. Forty members of the Laurada expedition, consisting of 315 people, are already dead, while the entire number taken out pre viously on the Danish steamship Horsc have been carried off by what is known as John Bull fever. The men say that those who went on the Laurada are now penniless and almost naked. They have not sufficient money to come back, and certain death awaits them. Several times they called on the President of the Republican State for help, but he gave them none. When the expedition was made np it was represented that each married man would be given a plot of ground and a houe, and other grants were to be given the single men, -,,m This paper for $1.00 a year. "Where Do I Come In?" Ashcville Citizen. "Tis a dismal funeral, truly, for us far mermen to irrace. That is pictured by McKink-y when he opens up his face: 'Piotction makes us wealthy !" he cries with accents bland. "And whoops up the price of labor, but uot products of tbe laud.

We shall not offend other nas tions when we declare the right of the American people to govern themselves, and, without let or hindrance from without, decide upon every question presented for their consideration. In tak ing this position, we simply maintain the dignity of seventy million citizens who are second to none iu their capacity for self government. The gold standard has compelled the American people to pay an ever increasing tribute to the creditor nations of the world a tribute which no one dares to defend. I assert that national honor requires the United States to secure justice for all its citizens as well as do justice to all its creditors. Wm. J. Bryan at Madison Square Garden. They Came Back to Jail. Victor Nottingham and Ed ward Wilson, two murderers,un der sentence of five years each in the Virginia penitentiary, who in company with Jack Smith, a prize fighter, broke from the Norfolk county Jail last week, have returned to the jail and given themselves up. A reward of $150 each had been offered by Governor O'Ferrall, but the two men, tired out, negotiated with the Sheriff, through his deputy, and as a result returned. Smith is still at large.
