- Populist Proposition to Fuse
xT ' T on Electors.
IS SILVER THE TEST
IVith Populists Now? Bntler Could not
Control Bis Committee and Took
to the Bushes, Chairman Hoi
ton a Prophet.
Yesterday at one of the meetings
of the sub-committees appointed by
the Republican and Populist Execu
tive Committees, a populist asked
"the Republicans what terms they
would agree to on a division of elec
tors. "Wo will not listen to any such
proposition ' '.promptly repl ied Chair
man Holton. "This state is going
for McKinley.-"
While there may be some people
who would be inclined to doubt this,
the Press-Visitor can state that the
news is authentic.
' The Populists have made silver
the test of patriotism and honesty in
this State. Ever since the lamented
silver convention, silver has been
made the test of all things olitic by
the Populists.
A party of gentlemen were specu
lating last night as to whether sil
ver would continue to be the test of
things populistic. Chairman Hol
ton, who was standing by, remarked
laughingly, "Yes, I wonder if silver
"will be the test now . " '
Chairman Manly says that the
proiwsition for electoral fusion sub
mitted by the Democratic 'Executive
committee still stands. Chairman
Ayer stated today that his central
committee would meet within ten
days to pass on the question of
electoral fusion. Mr. Ayer says
there is a willingness oh the part of
oil Populists to get together with
"the Democrats on the electoral ticket.
Senator Butler left the city early
yesterday morning, having for once
in his life sustained a defeat among
" lsjjbj.s&ipu'ist associates in North Car-
thaf If Senator Butler could have
had bis way' yesterday the agree-
ment-wbich exists between the twoH
parties would not have been reached.
He realized that fusion was ihcon
sistont. From the first he has op
posed it, but he was over-powered
yesterday and took to the bushes.
The new..cornmittee wanted fusion
and no power could stay them. The
Republicans knew this fact a week
ago and that accounts for the fact
that they exercised no undue an
xiety or alarm as to the result.
And when one comes to look at the
complexion of the Populist commit
tee no surprise should be occasioned.
The committeemen are direct from the
rank and file of the Populists, hav
ing been elected by districts. The
action of the Populists in a majority
of the districts plainly Indicates that
ithat tbey were rantankerous for fu
sion .
Zack Garrett, Populist clector-at-ilarge,
says Bryan must be elected
and that the question of fusion be
tween Democrats and Populists in
"this State must be settled. Mr
Garrett thinks that the Democrats
should allow the Populists to name
all eleven electors.
Chairman Holton says the curtain
has fallen and there will be no more
fixing of tickets. He expressed the
opinion that the Democrats and Pop
r ulists would not be able to get to
t gether on electors. "If the Populists
fuse with the Democrats" he says,
'they wilt have to takeGuthrle down. '
' Chairman Holton predicts the elec
tion of the combination ticket by
75,0007 He says -the Democrats
stole 30,4)00 votes' last time .
. Othb Wilson says the fusion ticket
will win by from 50,000 toJO.000.
Claude Dockery announced before
leaving yesterday that he would
- support McKinley and Hobart.
: V Pat Massy is one Republican who
is displeased with yesterday's ac
tion, The Republican committee
gave Pat the marble heart and the
gentleman feels much hurt. He had
- packed his grip to goto Nash, where
he announced Wednesday that be
would- begin his canvass. Where
are the Republicans now who so
loudly claimed that Massy would
ynot be taken down? '-1 , '
' The Republican Executive Com
mittee is going to send Jim Young
out to campaign. He speaksat Win
ston Wednesdays Salisbury Thurs
day and Statesville Friday. ; v
Chairman Holton v was asked why
fusion was ' not . arranged on the
Governorship - and other offices
"Simply to have something for the
Democrats to talk about" he said .
The impression is general that
there will be complete fusion on the
State ticket by October 15th. There
is more changing to be done yet.
THE BIG BANNER HERE.

Breezes Tomorrow.
The big Republican banner has
arrived and tomorrow it will be

W llson in Atlanta s
tcrday. AumsTA, Ga., Sept. 11 Judge
Emory Speer has issued a manda
tory order compelling the Southern
States Freight Association und Sea
boord Air Line to restore the rates
recently cut. This stops the pound
ing rate war and leaves the matter
where it was when held by Judge
Simonton's injunction.
The order recites that, the viola
tion of the third cluuso of the inter
state commerce law, which prohibits
discrimination in f.ivor of the lo
cality against another, and that
great damage is being done by rea
son of the discrimination iu favor of
Atlanta agaii.st the balance of the
State, (I i recti v contrary to the law.
President It. C. Holl'man denies
the charge emanating in New
Yon; that the Seaboard practically
started the present war to for'-e the
Southern Lailwnv h buy it. Mr.
Hoffman said tonight:
"The Seaboard Air Line is every
way solvent, and for the year ending
June 30, 18, its net results after
paying all charges of every nature
were fully .r)0 per cent, per mile
greater than those of the Southern
Railwav.
''I have not seen the artie'e in the
New York Sun. It is no doubt a
malicious falsehood, issued for the
purpose of trying t influence the
Seaboard Air Line stockholders to
sell out to the Southern Railway.
Upon my return home, if it is found
that the publication is what I sup
pose, I shall demand its author and
take steps to protect the interest of
the line "
ROCKED THE TRAIN.
Bod KalclKhtcs Who Throw Stones at
the Wilmington Kxcursionistn.
The Wilmington Star says a
gentleman of that city who visited
Raleigh on the excusion last Monday
from Wilmington gives the follow
ing incidents of the return trip.
"At 8 o'clock p. in., as sonic of the
visitors vere making their way to
the train, before it backed into the
Union depot, in order to get a seat
before the time of departure 12
midnight four persons fell into
coal schute-i, along the Southern
railway tracks, knocking two gentle
men, Messrs. James Proctor and M.
C. Benson, of this city, senseless for
a few minutes. Mr. Benson 's child
also fell into the schute, sustaining
a cut in the forehead. Mr. Benson's
right eye was terribly bruised and
blackened and he received a cut
about the left cheek. Mr. Proctor
was also cut on the face und head.
Mr. George Mills, also of this city,
was bruised about the face and head
and badly shaken up. At last ac
counts all the injured were doing
well.
"Just as the train was pulling out
from Raleigh and before it had clear
ed the shed, rocks were thrown
from the hillside on the north side
of the shed, striking the refresh
ment car and several passenger
coaches, breaking glass in the lat
ter. It reminded one of a hail-storm,
the rocks flew so fast. A colored
man from Raleigh remarked to a re
porter that the Wilmington crowd
could not expect anything but rocks
as they rocked the Jim -Young ex
cursion while it was leaving this
city recently.
Some attention should be taken of
rock throwing and the guilty parties
punished, if their identity can be
learned.
The coal chutes are situated in
side the yards of the Southern rail
way and persons have no business
walking there, as there are plenty
of streets. It seems jmpossible to
see how a person could have fallsn
in the coal chutes cn route, to the
passenger depot.

RATI
THE OTHER MAN'S WIFE.
Cootc and Long Appear in u ( lc cr l ai cc
Comedy.
The Richmond Dispatch says of
tomorrow night's attraction : Berte
Coote and Fick Long, whose appear
ance has been soextensively herald
ed and so much looked forward to,
made their entrance at the Academy
last night in a clever farce, translat
ed from the French, entitled "The
Other Man's Wife." So whimsical
is it that it eludes criticism, or,
rather, may well dispense with it.
The story of the play needs no
telling. It is stamped uK)ii the title,
"The Other Man's Wife." Why, it
is redolent of the mother in-law, the
jealous husband, and the flirting
wife. Unlike the generality of
French comedies, "The Other Man 's
Wife" is perfectly wholesome in
tone. There are no risque situa
tions, and the dialogue is bright and
witty without vulgarity.
The complications are most hu
morous, and the performance is brisk
and even.
Berte Coote, as Oscar Timid, a
crushed man, is ially inimitable,
the same Berte Coote that we saw in
"The New Hoy " last season, and
there is never any doubt of the fact.
But his humor is so droll that it is
always refreshing.
Nick Long, as the ''Man of the
World, " is a clever comedian, and
his performance was virile and ex
cellent throughout. Heappeared to
greater advantage, however, in the
charming one-act piece, "A Soldier
of France." which preceded the
comedy.
The company supporting Coote
and Long is thoroughly capable, and
though these two clever actors dom
inate every scene, there are no weak
spots in the performance.
THE MARCH BEGUN.
The Fourth Kcgiment Left Statcs illc To

General Cameron sf".N that the
Fourth North Carolinii'"'regiment
which has been in encampment at
Statesvilte for several days began

About four days will be taken up
in their march, and the regiment
will remain in Charlotte four days,
being there when Bryan speaks.
At the end of that time the camp will
be broken up and the soldiers will
return home by rail
This encampment is to be a repeti
t on of real soldier life. The men
are cooking their rations and boil
ing their coffee on tires placed in
holes dug in the ground and sleep
ing in tents.
Maj. E. M. Hayes, U.S.A. is with
the regiment and will make the

Severity of the English Prison System.

London, Sept. 11. John Daly,
the Irish dynamiter, released from
Portland prison August20, returned
from a visit to Paris today and will
go to Limerick tomorrow. Daly
says he is getting stronger, but is
still tremulous and acutely affected
with nervousness. He said: "My
prison life was too dreadful to think
about. The English prison system
is brutal at best, but was applied to
the Irish prisoners with fullest se
verity. The prison officers have
been aware for a long time that Gal
lagher and Whitehead were insane.

DELAY SAVES LIVES
President Hoffman
St. John Barely Escape
WAS IT A CONSPIRACY
The (iencrul Manager Has Offered a
Reward of $250 for the Wreckers
Freight Train Smashed Was it a
Plot to Kill orrijiuls.
Wednesday Vice-President St.
John and President Hodman of the
S. A, L., passed through here en
route for Atlanta in theformer's pri
vate car. The party narrowly missed
death.
The Atlanta Constitution tells of
the incident as follows:
"Had the Seaboard Air-Line ex
press, due to arrive in Atlanta yes
terday morning, been on time, it
would have dashed into
switch at Five Forks, (ia .
down a steep cm ban kmc lit
scores of the many peopl
an open
tumbled
i ii i killed
on the
crowded train.
The private ear of Vice-President
K. St. John, who was on board, ac
companied by President U. C. Holl'
man, would have gone down with
the rest, and the lighting railroad
men might have been killed, (len
eral Passenger Agent Anderson and
a number of prominent northern
capitalists were alsoon board.
As it happened the fast-moving
special was eighteen minutes behind
time and its running orders were
changed.
The fast freight, north liound,
which was scheduled to meet the
special south of Five Forks, was or
dered to go ahead beyond that point
and meet the passenger train at
another station.
Flying over the track, obedient to
this order, the fast freight dashed
into the death trap at Five Forks.
A frightful wreck resulted. Five
cars were derailed, the engineer,
fireman and other members of the
crew were Hurt, and tive horses
were killed.
News of the dreadful wreck reach
ed the station, where the passenger
was in waiting. In a very short
time, General Manager St. John
sent a relief train to the
scene of the accident, conveying
physiciansandhelp forthe wounded.
The theory was at once advanced
that the open switch was the work
of some miscreant, an enemy to Gen
eral Manager St. John, who did the
work with a view to taking the life
of the railroad man. It was pos
itively known that Mr. St. John
would be on the train, and the train
wrecker (and there is no doubt that
the defection in the track was caused
by a train wrecker) was evidently
aiming at the passenger train, as
according to schedule, it was the
first to pass the place. But for the
accident of its being late the train
would have dashed into the defec
tive switch and a frightful loss of
life would have followed.
There is no doubt that tlie wreck
was the work of train wreckers.
The spikes were drawn from the
two switches connecting the side
track with the main line. The spikes
were thrown down by the side of
the. track, where they were found
just after the wreck. The stables
liolding the switch in position had
also been drawn and cast aside.
Then the switches hud been opened
and left in that condition. The
north-bound passenger Thursday
night passed Hull at 11 o'clock. All
was safe with the switches then. It
is believed firmly that the intention
of the wreckers was to wreck the
south-bound passenger, which was
due at Hull yesterday morning. The
villiain's. work was evidently done
about fifteen minutes to 1 o'clock
yesterday morning. The conductor
of the freight signaled the passenger
in time to prevent any accident to
it. There are several rumors as to
the guilty parties, but none suffici
ently backed up as yet by evidence
to warrant a charge. It is rumored
that some dissatisfied employee of the
road was at the bottom of the affair.
Another rumor attaches the guilt to
an other employee.
Mr. St. Jeijn offers a reward of
$250 for the arrest of the guilty
party.

S LIKE M'KINLEY.
a tie Significance of Yesterday's Action
So Declared.
Everybody was having his say on
the streets today about the signifi
cence of yesterday's fusion. The
opinion was freely expressed that
thr Democaats would not get a ves
tige of anything in North Carolina,
and that it would be afree. all-round
Populist-Republican trade beforeelec
tion day. It is believed by many that
the drift of events will culminate in
the carry ingof this State by McKinley
and that such is Butler's ultimate
intention It is conceded that there
will be fusion on both the Governor
ship and Auditorship, and that Hal
W. Ayer will be the chosen candidate,
but there are conflicting opinions as
to" whether Guthrie or "Russell wilT
be left standing.
There are people now who see as
they never saw before that the Popu
lists have never intended to make
any combination with the Democrats
and that the terms of fusion and the
apology with which it is prefaced
are not tinctured much with the
principle
of free silver which the
Populists have In
