MIM8TER FRENCH.
As Bnroy from "OoTernor Bnssell
to Jamee High Young.
'aiuard'' French had aa objee la
coming to Balelgh last week,, but it
was not to see Senator Pritehard. He
might have seen Pritcbsrd, though he
did not seem In a hurry to do so. Bis
real object was to see James High
Tonng, the politician and editor of
the Qstette. This is learned from a
straight source,' .
Mr. French same here, It is stated,
to inflate the Buseell Gubernatorial
boom, and incidentally the fusion of
all classes of people who would
help' supports the aforesaid. Mr
French might have . urged on Sen
ator Pritehard the importance aad ae
ceaslty of his getttnf on the Bnssell
boom i but then Sesator Pritehard,
like all astute and sharp politicians,
a a pair of absorbent ears and a
good word for everybody. ;
If your Uecle Bnssell wants to be
the nominee for Governor by fusion or
by the Bepubllca-s, . he has got to
smooth over soms of his little differ
enees with the solored brothers, whom
la years gone by he has seen fit to
speak harshly of. Nobody is more
aware of this fset than ths big mogul
of Wilmington.
It is said that Giuard played the
role of Minister Plenipotentiary to the
court of James High Young. He csme
as spseial envoy with pleadings and
supplications possibly a bright and
rosy, picture was painted before the
House of Young. Should the mogul
of Wilmington lend his avodupols in
the Gubernatorial chair, milk and
honey only awaits the court of Young
and all of its attaohea.
Ths man who is diametrically op
posed to Leak, and the alphabet is
said to have held opinion in reserve.
Mr. Bosssll and Mr. French could
not have gained 'the negro vote by
taking James High Toung aboard the
bandwagon.
John Williamson, Johnson, Leak and
the negroes of the east could tell more
of this matter.
Cleveland Won the Third.
The Cle? elands won the third ftralgh t
gams from Baltimore in Cleveland Sat
urday for the Temple cup. One more
game will ssttls ths series. It Is not
likely that Cleveland will do so well in
Baltimore, for ths Orioles ars hard to
down on their own grounds. It is
generally believed that Cleveland will
win the cup. " Great preparations are
being made for a grand demonstra
tion and welcome to the Orioles on
their appearance In Baltimore. Should
Baltimore win all three games ths odd
game would likely be played in Phila
delphia. Twelve thousaad people saw Cleve
land wia Saturday. The park was
parked aad people sat oa ths fences
and telegraph poles. Toung and Me-
Mahon , were the opposing pitchers.
MeMahon was touched up rather
lively.'. Several of the Cleveland
players were presented with handsome
presents by thslr admirers.

AT THE POINT OF DEATH.
Charles Howard, the Aggressor,

It was a Bad Deed.
Hackney Lee (oolored) lies st the
hospital with his skull fractured In
fire place and nearing death's door
every minute , '., '. '
Late Siturday sight Haekney, who
had been on the streets in the business
potion of the city left for his home on
Bdenton street, immediately in front
of the business office of the Park Lum
ber Company. His mother's room ad
join the rooms in which he and bis
fsmily reside. Hsokney Lee's wife
wss In his mother's room. There
wsre a number of people in there In-
eluding-Charles Horton.
Hackney Lee and Charles Horton
had some words sbout Lee's wife.
They went out of the house about the
same time. Hackney told Horton he
did not want to have any trouble with
him, as he turned on the steps snd
left towards his own room. Charles
Horton without warning tripped up
behind Hackney Lee and cracked him
over the head wltu a very neavy
hickory stick about two feet and hail
long. Lee fell to the ground bleeding
and senseless. Horton took to his
heels and has not been seen since.
This Is the story of the affair aa
told by Blla Williamson, 'he only eye
witness of the deed. She is a half
sister to.the wounded man. Of course
Hortonlll have a different tale to tell
if captured. It is a very bad case
from present reports. Lee is sn old
man, of small stature. Horton is a
burly sll-footer, about twenty-two
years old. The doctors say Lee can
not get well.
Horton dropped the stick after he
began to run. It is now in the posses
sion of the Lee family. They say
that he had It in the room. It is of
seasoned hiokory, and an ugly looking
weapon Indeed. Horton works for
the Seaboard Air Line. Some people
think that he has left the city on an
outgoing train. The police are work
ing on the ease, bat they have nothing
to give out yet.
Dr. J. W. MoGee, Jr., states this
morning that the weapon struck Lee
on the forehead. He must have hit
him from the front.

John Harris, a Well Digger,
Meets His Death.
THE WALLS CAVED IN,
And the Poor Han Was Instantly
Killed-The Story of the Acci
dent Body Recovered.
John Harris, an old well digger
was instantly killed at 9:30 o'clock
on South Blocdworth street this
morning by the walls of a well which
he was cleaning, caving in. His
body waa literally mashed to a pulp
by the enormous weight of rock. He
was about sixty years old and had a
wife and three children.
This, in brief, is the story of an
aooident causing a death as sudden
aa waa ever the ewe. The details of
the fall of the rooks, and the subse
quent work of taking out the re
mains are full of horror.
This morning Mr. William Blake,
who owns the house occupied by
Mrs. Jeff Denton, sent for the well
digger to clean the well on the
premises. He came promptly and
brought along Amos Farmer, oolor
ed, as assistant. Work oommeneed
immediately, Harris descending the
well and Farmer handling the rope
whioh draws up the buoket.
Harris bad been in the well but
a snort time wnen nia assistant
noticed a slight settling in the walls:
'Come up ! Come op ! ketoh bold de
rope, ole mr.n," he called euidedly;
'de well's oavin' in."
The old well digger started to
obey, and Farmer had f eiz-id tbe rope
to pull him up whtiu he hoards
rumbling sound; an instant iatr the
rope was jsrked from hu baud aad
to his honor he saw the entire wall
cave in. Harris nev ur uttered a ory ;
the collapse of the wall started from
the bottom, the caving motion
spreading upward, the poor old man
was probably nipped and oovered by
the falling stones before those at the
top of the thirtv foot well tumbled
down.
When tbe reporter reaobed the
soene of the aooident much of the
horror that oomes with death had
worn from the cowd tbat stood
aimlessly around. At the windlass
two men worked rapidly, drawing
up the buckets of sU lb which were
being taken from the half filled well.
There wasnotbiog in the appearance
of the turroundings to indicate that
a tradegy had occurred The people
stood around, awe! almost into
silence, yet apparently not able to
realize that at the bottom of that
treacherous looking pile of rook, lay
the remains of a dead man. Many
even ventured tbe belief tbat the man
would be taken out alive, though
serious thought precluded any such
possibility.
Tbe wife and sons of the dead
man'stood helplessly by, watohing
the work of recouing the remains.
Their faces showed more of awe
than of grief; even they had not rea
lized that the father and husband
was dead. It was a quarter of two
when there came a shout from the
weU. "He's found," cried the
crowd and surged in a thick mob
around tbe windlass. Tha polios
men present pushed away tha oaowd-
ing people, wild now with exoite
ment. Then the body was pulled to the
light of day. The wife and sons bad
gone, unable to stand the suspense.
A wagon was called, tha dead man
placed in it and taken home. To
morrow the little funeral will be
held from Ma humble home.
Tha dead man was bdly mangled.
but his body did not present the hor
rible sight it was thought It would.
The bead waa badly crushed in five
places, and the faoe was oovered
with gore. Many bones were broken
by the falling rooks, the legs and
arms banging Ump. Death was un
doubtedly Instantaneous.
Dr C. Durham said today : ''Look
out for a big rata. Tomorrow a year
ago the heaviest rain ever known In
th State occurred. The riven la the
Baatera pert of the Bute, were I hap
peaed to be, were higher than wa

JUDGE WHITAKER'S POLITICS,
He Surprise a Reporter by Giving
His Party,
Ex-Judge Spier Whitaker drove in
thlc morning from his country home,
Varolin. He was in good spirits nnd
talked in a rambling, comfortable kind
of way to a reporter, about city and
county matter! with just a spice of
politic. A non-political talk with th ia
politician, accused of belonging to all
parties, would be a strange conversa
tion indeed.
"Well you musn't say anything
about 'so and so,' " he said, "be
cause if you did, the common peo
ple wouldn't vote for me."
"What office are you going to give
them a chance to vote for you In t" the
reporter asked.
'Well, I don't know exactly, but
I'm not going to let my ambition be
balked by considerations for any one."
Drifting around like a weather vane
the talk came back to the silver con
vection. "I'll be dialed if I'd let
them bsllywack me like they are doing
Chambers Smith. Why if I were in
bis place, I'd publish the names of
every signer of the convention call and
say that I went into the convention oz
their endorsement and voted for thoae
resolutiona; that I did what I thought
was right. They aeem to be all-fired
anxious to read Smith out of the party.
I suggested that Mr. Smith wouldn't
be read out, and the Judge remarked
dryly: 'Ob, you know the Democratic
party ia so strong, they don't want
these men.' "
Then the Judge sprung a surprise.
"They trid to read me out. They
have called me a Populist, but I have
never said I was one; I have never said
I am not. Put me down aa belonging
to the Whitaker party."
So Judge Whitaker, who everyone
had thoaght was at last safely eettled,
still aspires to shine as an independent
politician. However that may be, "in
dependence" in politics flavors strong
ly these days of populiam.

Ha ia a wonderful ahow all by himself.
"It was all sorts of a good show
gay, giave, light, heavy, fun, pathos,
dialect, humor, and ctrong dramatic
power. All of the selections were
good none of them were longer then
eight minutes. He opened with A r te
rn us Ward's famoua London lecture.
He sabg wilh fine effect the Negro
dialect melody, 'Carve Him to de
Heart;' then gave a pathetic piece,

aermon, and ao on.
" But he saved the best for the laat,
winding up with Dr. Bagby's ' How
Ruby Played the Piano,' giving the
finest rendition of this difficult piece
ever heard in Atlanta.
" Mr. Ford ia master of his beauti
ful art, and one great charm of enter

by its refinement and perfect good
taste."
Mr. Ford appears in Metropolitan
