Tucker, one of Raleigh's best kno wn .am!
richest citizens, died at 10 o'clock to
night of paralysis, aged 66 years.
He was one of the leading business
men of Raleigh; was a large stockholder
in the Seaboard Air Line system and a
few years i ago retired from the well
known firm of W. H. & R. S. Tucker of
this city, of which he had been the head
since the death of his elder brother, W.

A HEAD-ON COLLISION
OF FREIGHT JTRAINS ON THE
. SEABOARD AIB LINE.
Mr. Furches' Sadden Conversion to
the Fusion Idea Republicans
Fast Becoming Fusionists
':," The Colored Vote an Un- ;
known Qaantity Mr.
Connor Declines the
Populist Endorse
ment. Messenger Bureau, )
Raleigh, N. C, Aug. 4. J
About 3 o clock this, morning there
was a "head-on" -collision of freight
trains at Bolton, fourmileVfrom Weldon
on the Serboard Air Xiine, Oneengine
lies sixty feet from the track. Bothen
gines are literally torn to pieces, and
many cars were wrecked. A side track
was built around the wreck , and trains
are passing. A brakeman, Henry "Wil
liams, colored, was badly injured, his
thigh being crushed. He was brought
here and is in Rex hospital, j ..
; judge Thomas C. Fuller left to-day
for Santa Fe, New Mexieo, which he de
clares is the most delightful summer re
sort in the world.
Speaking of the Republicans and the
fusion-question, it i3 teamed that about
two weeks ago ex Judge D. M. Furches
was on the "anti" side, but that his
views .have undergone a great change,
and that he now thinks fusion a very
good thing. The changesoccurred, it is
said, some days before his nomination.
It is further said that the mass of the
Republicans ae becoming inoculated
with the fusion idea. Chairman Eaves
stands out stoutly and will never be rec
onciled to the composite ticket. Of
course he has supporters. The Repub
lican State convention, for these reasons,
promises to be of more than passing in
terest." J1'
It is quite a puzzle yet what the col
ored voters will do. Some of them do
not like the language of the Republicans
who said the white Republicacs and the
Populists, eould, leaving the colored
vote out' of the question, defeat the
Democrats.
It is not thought that the attendance
at the Democratic State convention next
Wednesday will be as large as was two
years ago. j
Ex-Judge Connor declines the Populist
indorsement for the Supreme court. He
is not a candidate. He has a fine prac
tice and is settling a very large estate.
Marion Butler, in his speech at the con
vention last- Wednesday, rather inti
mated that Judge Connor would decline,!
and was kind enough to say that nomi
nees could do this for business reasons,
but intimated that any other reasons
would not 'go." .
.The following compose the new cen
tral executive committee of the Popu
lists: Marion Butler, Harry Skinner ,W.
H. Kitchin, A. L. Peace, W. A. Guthrie,
and Dr. Cyrus Thompson. The Popu
lists leaders assert that the Democrats are
frightened and demoralized on account
of last Wednesday's convention. It wds
quite a convention, but your correspond
ent, has not . yet seen any Democratic
knees shaking.
Yesterday a tree fell oh a little white
boy at Apex and killed him instantly.
Fine rains set in yesterday. The farm
ers want little rain now as they sy it
will injure cotton. The rains continue
to-day and the weather is considerable
cooler.
The July rain fall here was 6.33 inches,
6 70 inches being the average for that
month.
Judge Hoke is to hold Wayne Superior
court in place of Judge Bynum.
There are many entries for the August
trotting races at the State fair grounds.
It is intimated that the Populists State
Executive committee wll endorse Judge
Armfield for the Supreme court. They
esteem him very highly as a lawyer,
judge and man. Your correspondent is
so told by the Populist leader.
Shot by a Town Marshal.
Raleigh, N. C, Aug. 4. A special to
the News-Observer-Chronicle from Ruth-
erf ordton says: John Lewis, a negro
about 39 years of age and known to be a
desperate character, was shot and killed
here to-day by Town Marshal, John
ShqtweU. Lewis was under arrest and
was trying to raise money to pay his fine,
enforced for drunkenness and disorderly-
conduct. He got I into a dispute
with Shotwell and advanced on him.
Shotwell pulled his pistol and shot Lewis
through the side and back three times.
Lewis died within a half hour. Shotwell
has surrendered to the sheriff . This is
the first man killed in Rutherf ordton
since its corporate existence of over a
nundred years. -7
The Sun's Cotton Review.
NeV York, Aug 4 The Sun's cotton
review says: There is an idea that the
tariff will soon be settled, and the trade
reason that a settlement of this question
will cause a revival of business. The
crop news was generally favorable, but
tnere was some reports of too much rain
m parts of the Atlantic States, and of
not enough rain in some Darts rf Tp-ras
Cotton on the spot here was higher and
there has been a good demand, of late.
There was a narrow speculation, but
more uispopiuon on the nart of some
.-operators to cover, and prices were
feigner herd and at New Orleans.

The Tennessee Election.
Nashville. Tenn., Aug.: 4. Fuller
and laore complete returns from nearly
all the cdunties of the State show that
the,IteJBS0cratic candidates for judge of
the Supreme court were elected yester
day, defeating the candidates of the fu
sion between Populists and Republicans.
The vote is latter, than expected and ma
jorities cannot yet ba given, but the re
turns show enough gains to insure the
election of the Democrats.
- SENATE PROCEEDINGS. ;
The RiTer and Harbor Bill Sent Back
to Conference The House Bill tof
Tax Treasury anl Bank Notes
Passed The Anti- Anarchist
Bill Discussed.
Washington, Aug. 4. There would
have been no session of the Senate , to
day but for the fact that there had been
an earnest desire expressed on Priday
evening: to have action tn-dav on th
comerence report on the River and Har
bor bill. It was discovered, however,
that technical errors had crept into the
report or into the bill, and that it was
necessary to send the whole matter back
to the conference committee; and so the
report was withdrawn for that purpose.
The absence Of anv imnnrtnnf hnsinooa
pressing for action furnished an oppor-

Other bills also passed. :.
The bill for the exclusion anH Honnrfo.
tion of Anarchists was discussed for a
short time and went over till Monday as
unfinished business.
There was one rather imnortant hill
passed with very little discussion and no
opposition. That was the House bill to
subject to State taxation National bank
notes and United States treasury notes.
A few amendments of form rather than
of substance were made to the bill, which
now reads as follows: -' . , ;
"That the circulatiner nott of Na

I "Chinese Japanese A flairs. 1
Paris, Aug. 4. The Japanese Minister
has received an official dispatch from
Tokio, giving an account of the battle
which was fought on July 29th, between
Japanese and Chinese troops at Yashun.
The dispatch says that Gen. Oshima,
commander of the Japanese army in
Corea, made an attack upon the Chinese
position on the morning of July 29th,
ard, after five Jiours' fighting, routed the
Chinese and captured their entrench
ments. The Chinese fled to their boats,
and many of them made their escape.
The Japanese captured a number of flags,
four guns, and a large quantity of am
munition and occupied the Chinese
quarters.X The Chinese loss was ! 500
killed and -wounded. This is the fight
which has heretofore been reported as
resulting in victory for the Chinese with
a loss to the Japanese of 2,000 men. i
Shanghai, Aug. 4. Capt. Gates
worthy, Chief Officer Tamplin and Quar
termaster Evangelist, of the sunken
transport Kow Sluing, who were res
cured by the boats ofx the Japanese
cruiser, have been taken to Sasebo,
where they are held as .prisoners.
Admiral Sir E. R. Freeman tie, in com
mand of the British China squadron, has
ordered the Alacerty, four guns 1,700
ton, Capt. G eo. A. Callaghan, from
Sushima to Sasebo, "with instructions to
demand the release of the British sailors.
Upon the arrival of the Alacerty at
Nagasaki the commander of the British
warship was informed that the prisoners
would be delivered up to him to day at
Nagasaki. 7; , - :
London, Aug. 4. A dispatch to the
Times from Tien Tsih says that thirteen
Japanese who were forcibly taken by the
Chinese from on board the British
steamer Chun King, were at once re
turned to that vessel upon the order of
the Viceroy, ,who issued such instruc-
tions the moment he was informed of the
incident. The Viceroy also sent an apol-i
ogy to the British Consul and ordered
the punishment of those responsible for
the removal of the Japanese from the
ship. ;
All of the Japanese residents of Peking

ENTIRELY GUESS-WORK.
CONFLICTING- VIEWS ABQUT
THE TARIFF BILL.
Some Think a Settlement Near at
j Hand Others That the Bill Will
j be Defeated Representatives '
! Hopeful Senators Despond-
ent Comhi nation 1 Be-
- tween Democrats
I and Populists.
1 Washington, Aug! 4. When the con
ference committee .-.djourned this after
noon there were t .vo distinct and antag
onistic views held by the Senators, both
of which had their adherents. It was
believed, on the one hand, that a report
satisfactory all round would be made to
the two Houses not later than Wednesday ;
and, on the other hand, that a disagree
ing report, was bound to follow within
the next two or three days. 'N A nearer
guess would be and j after all, the whole
situation i3 very like guess-work that
the latter part of next week will be here
before any conclusion of ! any sort is
reached. When the Democratic mem
bers of the conference committee dis
banded at j 5 o'clock this evening, the
House members appeared more jubilant
than their Senatorial colleagues. In
deed, Messrs. McMillan and Montgomery
seemed to be quite happy, i Without say
ing wnai naa Deen aone, u anything,
thex declared that ; nothing: had been
done that j might not be undone when
they met again Monday. There was that
in tneir manner, nowever, that led to the
conclusion that they believed, or at least
hoped, that the end was in sight.
ihe Senate conferees were equally un
communicative. Senator I Jones said
that he believed there was light in the
distance. Still he was willing to admit
that he did not feel as cheerful over; the
situation as he did yesterday afternoon.
Why he felt so differently he declined to
say, as that would necessarily have taken
him into a discussion of the' matter that
belongs only to the conference room.
,i Despite all rumors to the contrary, the
accuracy of the sugar schedule sent out
in the press despatch last night has been
confirmed, although it is not the final
and irrevocable decision of ! the commit
tee. It is the only one of a dozen that
the "conservative" Senators will agree
to accept, i and it is the only one the
members of the House conferees have
hot objected to. That is the schedule
which they will agree to accept.
Of course no schedule can' be accepted
by the Senate conferees that can
not demand the forty-three Democratic
Votes and this one had no sooner been
made public than it was antagonized bjM
senators Uaffery and fJlanchard, who, it
appears, have been able to form a com
bination with the two Populist Senators,
Allen and Kyle, who are the champions
of the best sugar men,7 who have large
interests in their respective States. These
four men make ho secret of the fact that
they will not support the bill if this
schedule is adhered to and if they are
not given the bounty for the crop of 1894.
Just how to conciliate these men is the
question which the Senate conferees are
now struggling with, and until they can
do so or hit upon some other schedule
that will suit both the Lousiana men and
the refiners and be also acceptable to the
House conferees, sugar will be held in
abeyance.!
Parttof the time to-day was consumed
in j the consideration of othei matters.
much pressure being brought to bear
upon the conferees on the part of the
Senate to yield on coal and iron ore. It
isrsaid that the only thing the Senate
will agree to do is to give the House
reciprocity on coal, but iron must stay
where it is. All propositions looking to
a graduated duty or its relinquishment,
after a period of three yea L have, been
rejected. It is reported th vthe House
conferees have not yet ioJhdpe, and
they look upon Gbrman I a the . only
stumbling block in their pathway to
success. - 1 - '
. When adjournment was taken to-night
it looked as if the conferees, despite their
many tentative agreements, were as far
as ever from the goal for. which they
have been'striving- There is, however;
a general belief that something will be
done early next week and that a report
of some kind will thereafter be made.
It is said thai the Senate conferees have
begun to loose patience, and will vote to
make a disagreeing report and let the
bill meet its fate in the Senate, unless
their associates give some indication of a
desire to come to an agreement on lines
that will enable the bill to pass the Senate.

of Chicago, accompanied by Alderman
Madden, was at the Revere house to day
to call on Eugene V. Debs. Taylor was
recently nominated by the Populists,
and Madden, though nominated oh the
the Republican ticket, is at heart said to
be a Populist. They wanted Debs to
make speeches in various parts of the
city in favor of Populist principles. This
Debs declined to do at present, but said
he would enter actively into the campaign
as soon as all the nominations were
made. A report was current this morn
ing that Debs had decided to make Chi

Uneasy About tneir Missionaries.
-Washington, Aug. 4,-rAction, under
instruction from the executive commit
tee of the I board of foreign missions of
the Southern Presbyterian Church j the
Rev. Dr. J. W; Bachman, its representa
tive here, has called on Secretrry
Gresham and the Japanese Legation to
ask that measures be taken to protect
the missionaries of that Church in the
East. Secretary Gresham told Mr. Bach- j
man that he did not think there was any
immediate danger to the missionaries,
but that they would be protected. At the
Japanese Legation Dr. Bachman matured
into tne status 01 tne missionaries 1 ana
was assured that they were perfectly
safe in Japan. The Southern Presby
terian Church has less than a dozen mis
sionaries in Corea; and these, ' it is be
lieved, can be accommodated on board a
United States man of war should their
lives be endangered. In China there are
about fifty, some few of whom are in
Northern provinces, and it is regarding
these that the board feels some f concern.
They probably will be ordered to Bhang

George Gould's Naow Escape from
Drowning.
Cowes, Isle-of-Wight, Aug. 4. Geo.
J. Gould had a narrow escape from
drowning yesterday when he met the
Vigilant in a steam launch off the Spitt
lightship. Just as he was walking across
a plank between the two vessels, the
launch gave a sudden, lurch and he fell
into the sea. He was wearing a mack
intosh at the time, and this garment new
over his head and for a time Goulds sit
uation was critical. However, he kept
his head while treading water, threw,
his arms up and just as he was sinking
succeeded in getting the mackintosh
clear of his head. Gasping for breath,
he held out his hand to the Vigilant's
people, who caught it in the nick of
time and dragged him on board the
sloop. Mr. Gould to-day was none, the
worse for his mishap. V '..
