'The Populist officials refuseto dis cuss the purpose of this meeting. : I The purposof it Is plain enough, however, to any one familiar with the situation In the Populist camp. 4 It i is reported that Mr. Watson in his letter acknowledging his nomi nation will roast both the Populist . national' committee and the Demo f ! crats. What is expected of him by those who .have been' watching his course and paying attention to dis- - patches from Watson's home is that : his course will amount to a repudia tion of the Bryan combination and a call on his friends to avenge him. f The meeting in "Chicago is for the 5 purpose of reviewing the work of ' Chairman Butler, and of deciding '- on what is to be done- in auy emer- gency that may arise between now and the election ' - "' , , There may be a lively Session if Mr. Watson's friends are on hand K Vith a "kick." he prospects are, however, that the executive commit tee, with practical unanimity, will y endorse the course of Senator But ler throughout, and a resolution v urging Populists to stand firmly by ; the fusion. It Is 'likely, that the meeting will be followed by an ad dress, urging Populists to stand by YBryan.

It has been evident for many months that certain leaders of the party wanted to place the old -organization in the huckstering business. How well they have succeeded every one knows. The State Central Committee with only two members absent came to the conclusion last evening, near one o'clock that .it was best to make a proposal to the Populists for the accomplishment of fusion on all .Con gressional, State and legislative of ficers. Today that . proposition was submitted to chairman Ayer of the Populist State Executive Commit tee."? It is given herewith : .. r Resolutions of tha Democratic Central Committee. ' ' This "committee, believing ' the white people of the State are in tensely , in earnest In their desire and purpose to secure the benefits of the reform for which Bryan stands and to preserve good government la North Carolina isi prepared to invite a close alliance among all those who hold to these views. ; This, in our opinion, is made imperative in view of the fact that the colored voters of the State have been united in a com pact body in support of those meas ures for which McKinley and Rus sell stand. The colored people and their leaders have made a union of the white peoplo necessary to defeat McKinley ism, and ' Russellism, in North Carolina. To provide" for a union of those believing in white supremacy and good government the chairman of this committee is in structed to propose to the executive committee - of the People's party a ticket to be voted for In ,tbo comiog election as follows: Tf-.t. -( ' Y For Governor,. C B Watson,; of Forsyth;- Lieut-Governor, W 1 A Guthrie of : Durham; Secretary of Statey Cyrus Thompson,' pf Onslow; Treasurer, W H Worth, of Wake; Attorney -General," PI Osborne, of Mecklenburg; .- Superintendent f Public Instruction, John C- Scar borough, of Johnston; Auditor ,B M Furman, of : Buncombe Supreme, Court, A C Avery, W A Montgom ery; Superior Court, 5th district, J S Manning.'- For -Congress that .the several districts shall be arranged as follows; ' To the People's 'party, 1st, 3d, 4th and ,7th districts; to the Democratic party, 2d, '6th, 6th, 8th and 9th districts. ' : ' That the committee 'pledges' Its best efforts to the election of ',W A Guthrie as United States Senator. "For the legislature both parties pledge their Jsest efforts to defeat all Republican candidates to 'the legis lature and; to elqgt ojrfy Democrats and PopoUst andonly such of them as are known to stand for the reform advocated by Mr; Bryan. " " All of - which Is respectfully sub mitted. ! .... , y Clement Manlt, --..'.. Ch'ra'n Dem. State Ex: Com. . Chairman . Ayer sent telegrams this morning to every member' of the State executive eommittee urging them to attend the special meeting which is called tomorrow night at 8 o'clock in this city. ; The Populists will never .accept the proposition as it now stands, as Chairman Ayer has officially an nounced and it is the opinion of many, of those in touch with the Populist State . committee that the profer will be rejected. All '.he local Populists ha3 broad smiles on their, faces .today and they looked supremely happy . Father Worth- was ebullient, with joy and - Joe Rogers appeared to be in convul sions.. Father Worth gave a positive ut terance this morning. It was one of the few times in his always joy uful careerhe was on the aggressive. Father wanted it understood, and he said so plainly, that the Populists would never yield the Governor, "Why don't you all take the Sen ator', ' was a query put by our good Treasurer. Father insists on the Populists having five Congressmen and the protection of Hal. Ayer in his auditoral canvass. Populists of influence who had anything to say at all were of the opinion that it was entirely too late to make any change in their ticket. It takes two weeks to get the news to the Pops in the interior. And would the Populists abide by the committee's action if the Pemo cratio offer was accepted? .Unques tionably manv of them would not, especially those who think that the Populists .are in honor bound to stand by the republican agreement- Editor Ramsey of the Progressive Farmer was asked if he opposed the Democratic offer. - y - y "I don't oppose anything." he re plied. " ; ' It is stated that Senator Butler favors the proposition: and that the Pemocratio Committee made the ad vance upon assurances from him. . The republicans did not seem to concern themselves about the move and in fact many of them seem ticki led. f- . Chairman , Holtoo said: : "The Pemocratio party can't fuse with the Populists, - because the f Populjsts will not fuse thom.; We tll, carry the State in any event for Russell.' The chairman remarked that the Democrats would not do anything to hurt the feelings of a Populist now. " Foster Got Thirty Years. ?s. ' Lorenzo Foster, one of the negro boys who attempted an outrageous assault .upon Mrs. ' Faulkner ' in Vance county and finally killed her In a most brutal manner, has been sentenced to thirty years in ' the penitentiary.

Justice Montgomery rendered two important decisions today that set tled disputed questions in the new election law. Y It has been a doubtful question among, all three of the State chair man whether the names of the can didates for magistrates: should be voted for on the county or state ticket. A test case, agreed upon by the chairmen oame before Justice Montgomery today on application from Durham county. Judge Mont gomery decided that a magistrate was a judicial officer in the county in which he resided and therefore a county efficer,. ne.held that ,'the names of-' magistrates ' should ' be printed on the county tickets and that the law provided for only two ballot boxes. - Messrs. Reid and Curtis, the Winston registrars, whom chairman Holton changed with irregularities in conducting registrations appear ed before Judge Montgomery in re spone to his summons. The gentlemen were represented by Mr. E. B. Jones of Winston and Mr. C. M. Busbee, while Mr. Holton was represented by Maj. J. W. Graham. All the Attorneys in the case had something to say. Mr. Jones did not think the case was within the jurisdiction of Judge Montgomery. Justice Montgomery held that the two registrars had conducted the registration irregularly, but not knowingly, and he taxed them with the costs. Maj. Graham prepared the follow ing order at the solicitation of Judge Montgomery: In this matter after hearing the affidavits filed, it is considered and adjudged that the said defendants E.vL. Reed and E. D. Curtis, regis trars of the 5th ward precinct of Winston, TJ. C, have not combined to prevent legal registration, but it appearing from their own affidavits that they have erroneous views as to the duties required of registrars, it is therefore ordered that, they proceed on Saturday, Oct. 17, 189G to discharge their duties as defined in the order made on October 9th, 1896, and allow all persons, who have not registered, to have their names put on the registration book of said fifth ward precinct.

Weathers May Have a Broken Back "Seriously III. W. D. Weathers, a carpenter by trde fell 23 feet yesterday from a second story scaffold, lie is lying critically ill at his residence near the institution for the blind and the physicians are of the opinion that his back is broken, though they do not know for certain. Mr. Weathers was at work it the residence of Mrs. E. Burke Hay wood in the construction of a bath room from the second floor. Ho was at work on a temporary scaffold and in stepping on an Insecurely nailed brace was precipated to the ground. Mr. Weathers fell flat of his back to the ground and hi was knocked senseless. The accident occurred yesterday morning about 8 o'clock, but the injuries sustained by Mr Weathers were so serious and of such a nature that he was not per mitted to be moved to his residence until six o'clock yesterday after noon. Mr. Weathers is in much pain and bis physicians are unable to say whether his back is broken, though they are inclined to believe thatltis. .

Main's 1 Show to be Here Tomorrow. , Tomorrow is circus day and every body is happy in the expectation of that peculiar enjoyment that the circus always brings. John Low low is coming with it and his ap pearance in the ring will be a popu lar feature. . An editorial in the Atlanta Con stitution recently stated that John Lowlow, the famous clown, was dead. Mr. Lowlow is very much alive, and he writes a very interest ing letter to the Constitution deny ing that he is dead. Lowlow re minds us of the old time one ring circus of the part, of the bare-back riding of J im Robinson of the time, when jokes were not stale, when the red lemonade was up to the stand ard .and fakirs did not fleece the "hay-seeds,' at least not to the ex- jct that they do in these latter days. These were good old times. When Robiuson s show came to town everybody, that is very near everybody, turned out to sec the show. And it was a good honest show. If anything was on tho bills John Lowlow said the thing "bad to be did. ' Who does not remember this prince of clowns, this Yama craw boy in clownish costume, call- ng out: "Bring in another hoss!1' John Lowlow is kindly remember ed here by many. His harmless, mirth-provoking jests have smooth ed out many a care-wrinkled brow, has caused thousands to forget for the time being at least, the harass ing cares of life, its exactions and vexations. Who shall dare say that this man has not, in his day and way, been a benefactor to his race. It is said that the man who makes two blades of grass grow where but one grew before, is a public bene factor. Surely John Lowlow, who has, by his inimitable humor, driven away dull care and amused thou sands; who has scattered sunshine all along his chequered career; who has planted roses and not thorns; who has called forth silvery peals of laughter, and never a moan, who shall say, we repeat, that be has not acted well his part, and made the world happier for having lived in it. And who shall affirm that when the great tent above is reach ed, that John Lowlow will not have a ticket of admission. CONEY ISLAND SWEPT. The Famous Resort Laid Waste by a Hurricane esterday. A New York special of yesterday says: 'Coney Island 's beach was swept by the waves of the highest time in the history of the famous resort last night and today. A large number of temporary structures along the water front were destroyed. The boulevard was flooded as far as Nep tune avenue. The shelter houses at the intersection of the concourse and boulevard were washed away. Waves running mountain high bat tered the plaza in front of the Brigh ton Beach Hotel and tore away part of the concert pavilion, in which Anton Seidel's Orchestra gives its performances. The Ocean Hotel, west of tho Brighton Beach Hotel, was sur rounded by water and its founda tions were racked. Numerous bath ing pavilions and amusement houses in West Brighton were either wrecked or damaged, among the lat ter being the club-house of the Sea side Athletic Club, the old iron pier that was believed to be invincible and that - had been buffeted by the storms of over 20 winters, was cut in two by the mighty impact of the waves. At 2 o'clock the storm was still working havoc, wrecking every thing it could reach on the beach, and the outcome cannot be anticipat ed. The collapse of tho Ocean House appears to be but a matter of a few hours. It is entirely surrounded by wat r, and the occupants are moving out their belongs. Manhattan Beach shared the disaster . with other sec tions of the island. Much of the ornamentation on the grounds in i run it m me ajuuuaima neacu noiei was swept away and the magnificent lawn in front of the swell Oriental Hotel was made a dismal waste, v . i ., ... . , - Oyer a.000 Sick. j- Bv Cable to the Press-Visitor. , Y .
