Buchanan, a Life Long Republican, Was Shoved Aside. The greed of the populist wing of the fusion combine in the Third congres sional district, has result d in a con dition that is likely to result in disas ter to the fusion candidate, Mr. John E. Fowler. Slon H Buchanan, of Jonesboro, a life long republican who expected to receive the nomination for congress, at Fayetteville, the 29th inst , on the Republican ticket, makes the public announcement that he will not support Fowler, but will vote for Thomas. He claims that Fowler promised him two years ago, if he. would give him a clear course at that time, he, Fowler, would not ask for the place two years hence. Mr. Buchanan went to Fayetteville with a majority pledged to him. He says a special delivery letter from Raleigh notified him that the commit tee had decided for Fowler, and that he must stand, aside for harmony. And even then Fowler only succeeded by using boodle. Buch. is surely mad and it is to his credit. He means to fight Fowler. "Home Sweet Home." The loving hubby who beat his wife a few days ago, read a little piece in the Telegram about his wife intending to takeout a warrant for him and pro ceeded to make it' even more warn: for her than ev r. The wife seeing thai liv ing in peace with her better half was an utter impossibility decided to move to Danville. To this the hubby caught on and refused to let her have her trunk. She was at 'Squire Pritchett's office again this morning seeking ad vice about how to get her trunk. 'Squire informed her that he was not much of a lawyer, but he could giv j the old fellow justice if she would bring him up before him. Back From the Klondike. Mr. J. D. Thagard, a North Caro linian who had just returned from the Klondike, passed through Raleigh yesterday. Mr. Thagard is a brother-in-law of Mr. W. C. Petty. He has just return ed from Dawson City, and was on his way to his old home in Manly yester day. With him Mr. Thagard had eviden ces of the richness of the Klondike. He exhibited several pieces of gold ore and bullion which he brought back with him from the gold fields. Mr. Thagard has been at Dawson City for two years. He has on foot now a pro ject which he expects will yield him a big fortune. Morning Post. Slot Machine Telegraph. T. J. McAdoo, owner of the Tele phone Exchange, has placed the upest- to-date 'phone in the McAdoo House we have ever seen. It is a combina tion telephone and slot machine. Any one wishingto talk on the 'phone drops in a nickel, dime or quarter, accord ing to the length of time. Twenty-five cents is for long distance, however When a quarter is dropped the 'phone clicks three times : if a dime, twice, and a nickle, once, so that Central knows just hiw much money is dropped and how lone to let vou talk. It's a hummer. A Tip to Senator Butler. The Kinston Free Press gives the following, the truth of which has been suspected for some time: 'We have been informed that Mr Frank Brown, member of the last Leg islature from Jones county, told cer tain parties of prominence and intelli' gence that Dr. Thompson secretly abetted the election of Pritchard to the Q. S Senate, to the end that Pritch ard would do a like favor for Thomp son to succeed Senator Marion Butler in 1900. We get this pretty straight and if it is denied we will furnish proofs. Yet Thompson pretended to be honest and opposed to the election of gold bug Pritchard. All the big populist and republican bosses in this 6tate are tarred with the same stick." They Are Beauties.

Oct. 7, '98. 1 An attempt was made to wreck the Asheboro train by piling cross ties on the track yesterday near Sophia. Don't fail to hear Bob Glenn on the political issues tonight at the opera house. Ladies are especially invited. Frank Brown and Claude Bar bee, of the First N. C. regiment say that they could beat Col. Bryan's poll by at least fifteen per cent. Thar nowl Major Wadlington came near having a scrap this morning. What a pity that Major did not get to show his grit before he left. Miss Leslie Pleasants, of As'heville, who has been spending a few days with her sister Mrs. O. N. Richardson left on the noon train for Greensboro. C. H. Hoover and Geo. Hilliard, of Asheboro, passed through today en route to Washington. W. F. Brown, the Cuban reconcen trado, left this morning for Statesville to see his brother, W. C. Brown of that place. Mrs. E. A. Bencini and children left this morning for Concord to visit friends and relatives. Will Pickard, of Randleman, spent last night in the city and returned this morning.'' W. A. Hall, of Greensboro, was in the city today. Quartermaster Cyrus Wheeler, of Company D, Second regiment returned yesterday to spend a thirty day fur lough at home. Ex-sheriff R. R. Ross, of Asheboro, spent last night in the city. A prominent real estate owner re cently opened a side walk on a street that was seldom used, and now he has been notified to fix up his side walk. We think there are many other side walks inside of the city limits that are used every day that need' fixing up much worse than this one. One of those so-called squedunk whistles, like the one we had reference to yesterday, was recently put up in Winston, and, of course, disturbed everybody to such an extent that it was knocked into smithereens with Smith field rifles by some men who lived near by. If the town authorities will not look after a nuisance like this we be lieve the people should. The main attraction in town today is Prof. J- J. Rogers' strength testing machine. If "Little Cy" Wheeler, of the Sec ond regiment could borrow "Uncle Bob" Bell's whiskers and make a charge down Main street, as he usual ly does on his thoroughbred, we would think "Fighting Joe" had struck the town. Cards announcing the marriage of Miss Maggie Bonner, of Mt. Airy to Mr. Claude Beard, of the C. F. & Y. V. road, October 18th, were received here yesterday. Miss Bonner, it will be remembered, spent the -summer here last year, with her sister, Mrs. J. B. Bonner, and has many friends here. Miss Vallie Brown, of Concord, who has been spending seve-al' weeks with her sister, Mrs. Castor, returned home last night. She made friends here who regret to part with her.

By Cable The Telegram. aris, Oct. 7 The American and Spanish peace commissioners met in joint session today. There are many startling rumors abroad to the effect that the commissioners cannot agree on the question of adjusting the Philippine- dilemma.

Paris, Oct. 7 The American com missionsrs this morning considered correspondence and sought to perfect the position of the Americans in rela tion to the alternations and contingent attitudes or propositions which the Spanish are expected to make this af ternoon.

The strikers are becoming riotous. Later Troops and the Paris police have been oalled out to stop the riot ing strikers. PLANNED A GENERAL MASSACRE Why the Indians Did Not Fire on the Men Searching the Timber. Walker, Minn., Oct. 6 Indian Agent Sutherland, who was with Gen eral Bacon at Sugar Point, gives the following account of the conflict up to the time of his leaving for supplies: "When the arrest of the two fugitives had been accomplished, the Indians, with a profession of friendship, showed the soldiers their tepees and called at tention to their neatness, and all the time stating that they were good In dians. General Bacon, who has great experience with the Sioux and other savages did not take much stock in these professions of friendship and or dered a party of his company to search the adjoining timber for any lurking savages, but none was to be seen. The Indians must have been hidden in the thick underbrush, and those unaccustomed to searching tim ber could easily have been deceived, for it was not 10 minutes after this be fore the firing had commenced. Had the Indians not contemplated a gen eral massacre they would have fired on the men who were searching the timber. "These Pillagers are well armed and are good marksmen, therefore it is easy to see where they had the ad vantage of the situation at the start. If our men are not killed, it is surmis ed that they have gone some distance in the woods, where they would be safe from a night attack from another band of Indians who could have come upon them from the lake shore. If it is true that the Cass Lake Indians have gone to aisist the Bear Island Indians, the retreat of General Bacon into the interior can be understood." Destructive Fire. Bj Wire to The Telbgbam Asbury Park, N. J., Oct. 7 Fire last night destroyed fourteen buildings in the centre of the city.

Manchester, Eng. , Oct. 7 A London correspondent of the Courier says that long messages of instruction have been telephoned by the foreign office to Sir Edmund Monson, the British embass ador. There is no doubt but that re lations between France and England are greatly strained. General Greene Testifies. By Wire To The Telegram.
