VOL. XXXV.—-NO. 132.
FOR COMPLETE FUSION.
Dr. Mott Wants the Democrats and Popu
lists to Get Together.
Dr. J. J. Mott, who was chairman
of the national silver party arrived
in the city Saturday. The genial
doctor, who one time held a Pritch
ard grip on the Republican organiza
tion in North Carolina came here to
enter the campaign but not in the
interest of his former allies.
Replying to the question of a
Press-Visitor reporter as to what
he thought of the proposition of the
Democratic Executive Committee for
a fusion of Populists and Democrats
on electors, he said that was a step

ation between the Democrats and
the Populists on all matters in this
State, as he is.of the opinion that it
wbuld solidify the silver forces.
Dr. Mott says: “All the silver
people must get together and party
lines must be wiped out. The Dem
ocratic machine can’t hope to elect a
a ticket in this State. I shall sup
port the Bryan electors and the
election of Mr. Bryan means the or
ganization, out of his supporters, of
a great party in this country on dis
tinctive American lines.
“A free silver ticket honestly and
justly formed in this State without
reference to party lines, will get the
support of a large number of Repub
licans; probably as many as 50,000.
But any machine ticket of either
party cannot be elected, and

Bryan's Plan for Fusion.
By Telegraph to the Press-Visitor.
Lincoln, Neb., August 3.—Mr'
Bryan has submitted the terms of
the fusion of the Democratic and
Populist parties in this State, and
his plan has been adopted. The
deal, as agreed upon, is satisfactory
to both parties, and it is not believed
there will be any difficulty in carry
ing it out. All that remains to be
done now is to arrange all the de
tails.
Each party will have its conven
tion and go through the usual form
alities, but the two will be merged
by fusion so completely that it will
be pretty hard for either to pre
serve its identity during the cam
paign. The Populist State conten
tion will be held first. It will name
for presidential electors an equal
number of Populists and Democrats,
with the understanding that the
electoral ticket is for Bryan and
Sewell.
Gov. Holcomb will be renominated
and Populists will be named for all
the other State offices, with possibly
two exceptions. The nominations
for Treasurer and Auditor may be
given to the Democrats.
The Democratic convention will
place the same candidates in nomi
nation. The two parties will have
only one Presidential ticket and one
State ticket in the field. Each party
may name three of the six candi
dates for Congress.
A Southern Railway freight train
plunged into a burning trestle yes
terday morning on the Oxford and
Clarksville Railway, about ten miles
from Durham. Seven cars, the engine
and tender shot down the brink and
the caboose with four passengers
aboard stopped just a few feet from
the point where the other cars went
over. One of the passengers was
Mr. W. J. Edwards of Oxford, a
brother of Mr. C. B. Edwards, of
this city. He was on his way here
to visit his mother, who has been
quite ill.
The burned trestle, where the ac
cident occured is probably 600 feet
long and it passes over a marshy
section, just a short distance from
the Neuse River bridge. The rail
road makes a deep curve before
reaching the trestle.
The freight train with seven cars
heavily loaded and the caboose with
four passengers was coming around
this curve yesterday morning about
4 a. m. at a fast rate of speed. The
engine was close upon the trestle
when the engineer first saw the
smoke curling up from the buring
timbers, which supported the track.
He reversed the lever in a flash and
blew for breaks, but it was to no
avail.
After the engine went through the
trestle, the cars slowed up as they
broke off one by one and went down
a distance of fifteen feet. A brake-
man who was on top of one of the
cars took-in the situation at a glance,
and ran back the length of the train
to the caboose in time to save himself.
The other brakeman, who was on
the caboose, had presence of mind
enough to put on the breaks. The
caboose stopped within ten feet of
the brink, and the credit of saving
the car as well as the four passen
gers inside, who were asleep, can
be attributed to that brakeman.
The engineer, Miles Gleen stuck
to his post like a hero and went
down with his engine. The first
thought of the passengers was for
the safety of the engineer. They
made their way to the badly demol
ished engine as quickly as possible,
when they found him trying to ex
tricate himself from a mass of de
bris. His legs were badly mashed
and he is injured internally, though
it is not thought fatally. The fire
man was only slightly injured.
The seven cars took fire from the
burning bridge and they
consumed. One of the

independent of the action of foreign
nations. The justice of an income
tax that will place a more just pro
portion of the burdens of govern
ment upon the extremely wealthy
was dwelt uj^ with great force.
Trusts were handled without gloves
and the people were reminded of
how greatly they are oppressed by
these combinations of capital, which
have been fostered by the Republi
can party.
Referring to the proposed fusion
between the Democrats and Popu
lists in North Carolina on the elec
toral ticket, Mr. Watson read the
resolutions adopted at the recent
meeting of the State Democratic ex
ecutive committee, and commented
thereupon as follows:
“The Democratic convention at
Chicago was able to formulate a
platform that was satisfactory to the
great majority of the American peo
ple regardless of former political
affiliations. It had named a candi
date for President, so well and so
favorably known that two other con
ventions hastened to endorse him as
the fit leader of the great army of
American freemen whose people be
lieve that America is able to meet
her own financial affairs without
longer waiting for permission from
European task-masters. It is ap-
parentthat the people are ready to
elect him President.
“The Populist convention, having
nominated Mr. Watson for Vice
President, instead of Mr. Sewall, the
nominee of the Democratic and na
tional Silver conventions, the mat
ter of casting the ballot for electors
becomes a serious one. We do not
vote for President directly, but we
only vote for electors.
“Were the Democratic and nation
al Silver votes to vote for one set of
electors and the Populist voters to
vote for another set of electors, then
Mr, Bryan might lose the State to
Mr. McKinley, because of this di
vision, although it would be the pur
pose of every voter of all three of
the parties opposed to McKinley to
vote for Bryan.
“The Democratic party cannot be
guilty of this piece of folly. Neither
will the People’s party. It would
be worse than folly. It would be a
crime.
“So, in order to avoid this unfor
tunatecondition, the executive com
mittee promptly took steps, by pass
ing the resolution just read, to har
monize and agree on a ticket that will
secure to every Bryan voter the
right to have his vote properly re
presented in the electoral college
ham to the scene of the wreck.

Seaboard Receives 12 New Engines,
The Seaboard Air Line has re

engines from the Baldwin Locomo
tive works. The engines were
built to order. They are ten wheel
ers, with 19 inch cylinders. Nine
of them were brought to Raleigh
last week and will be used on this
division. They are numbers, 552,
553, 556, 557, 558, 559, 560, 561 and

Death Rate Among Colored People Large
—4 Cases of Typhoid Fever.
The monthly report of the Sani
tary department as prepared by
health officer Sales speaks well for
the white people,.
The Bulletin of the North Caro
lina Board of Health, under the head
of “Mortuary Report for June,”
shows that the death rate was less
in Raleigh and Charlotte than any
towns in the State. In Raleigh the
death rate for June was 20, 1 per
1,000. Charlotte was some less,
being 19-5. In Asheville it was 25;
Wilmington, 22.4; Winston, 28.8, etc.
The highest death rate was 48.0, at
Jacksonville, and the lowest 8.3, at
Weldon.
Inspector Sales makes the follow
ing report of the city’s health tor
the month of July: Total number
of deaths forty, white 12; colored 28.
Deaths under five years of age 20;
white 5; colored 15. Deaths over
seventy years of age 3; all being
white. While the face of the report
would seemingly show a high death
rate, yet when we consider the fact
that less than fifty per cent of the
whole number of deaths, died atages
of expectation, it relieves to a very
great extent the seemingly bad
showing made. t •
The death rate for the colored peo
ple is higher for July ’96 than any
corresponding month since a record
has been kept, which dates back to
1887. The death rate among the
whites is less than for several years
past. The high death rate shown
for the colored is not attributable to
any special cause, butexisted among
children under 5 years of age, as
the report will show that over fifty
per cent of the whole number died
under that age. Mr. Sale reports
the sanitary condition of the city
good, and says that cleanliness ex
ists generally. Births were report
ed as follows: Total number 24;
white 12; colored 12.

reported during the month.

A Great deal of Sickness Caused by Eat
ing Them at this Season.
The Sanitary Board of Savannah,
Ga., has issued a circular to resi
dents of that city cautioning them
against the indiscriminate eating of
melons: “Without doubt there is a
good deal of sickness caused at this
season by eating sickly melons. In
hundreds of watermelon patches
now the vines are drying from the
heat of the sun, and the half grown
melons left on the vines are being
ripened by the same cause. These
melons can easily be detected. They
have a yellow,, sunburned appear-
anc on one side, and the green of
the rind is not of that vivid type
which marks the healthy melon.
There is often a neck at one end of
the melon, with a tendency to rot.
The flesh of these melons will be
found to be pale, and not a bright
red. These melons are likely to be
offered in great quantities in the
next few weeks, and it is just as
well that the people should be put
on notice that they are unhealthy.

will probably be the place selected
for the proposed Sound-Money Na
tional Democratic Convention, and
the indications are that Senator John
M. Palmer of Illinois and Gen. John
B. Gordon, of Georgia will be the
nominees of that Convention. This
appeared to be the prevailing senti
ment in sound-money circles today,
and it was given out on good author
ity that the feeling in favor of nomi
nating Palmer for President is grow
ing stronger daily. As to the nomi
nation of General Gordon, several
arguments are urged in favor of such
a course. In the first place, it is
argued that it would be giving prac
tical effect to the sentiment of the
union of “the blue and the gray.”
General Gordon was one of the
famous leaders on the Southern side
in the war, and is today one of the
most popular men in the South. He
is all right on the money question,
and, it is said, would accept the
nomination for Vice-President as a
high compliment. As for Senator
Palmer, his nomination would, it is
believed make Illinois a certain anti-
free-silver State.
