Young Gray admitted that they placed the shovel on the track, with no inten tion of wrecking the train, but "just for fun, to see the engine jump." The company is determined to push the case against the boys, as a lesson to any others who may , feel on inclination to indulge in such "fun." Both boys' fathers are guards in the house of refuge near here, and if convicted the boys will bo confined in the institution. At the Action Taken by the Majority Caucus. HILEMAN IS ONE.

The majority caucus did not act in harmony last night in expelling the minority and forbidding them further co operation with them in any matters, senator uuiier, wno fathered the resolution which was adopted denunciatory of the bolters, is not meeting with com plete success in prescribing the course of the populist major ity. Six of the members who were present at the meeting last night are on the verge of revolt. Tbey do not subscribe to the reso lution adopted and just what action they will take it is hardly possible to say. McCasky and ,Fan are riled and they have finally severed all connection with the caucus. Speaker Hileman, Dr I'erson and Whitener are violently opposed to the resolution and they will ask for a modification. If thoir views are not observed by the maintv, they may pull out. Speaker Hi'cman said this morning: I was not present at the caucus last evening, but I do not think the private Jaws lof: 188C( In relation to the Roanoke Water Power Company; also for the relief of A, H.

Mr, Hileman said he thought the resolutions should be modified, but he declined to say what action he would take in the event they were not. Mr. Hileman said he had not made up his mind as to what policy be should pursue.

This errtertaiumentpromises to be one of the leading social events of the season. ment of facts in reply to that affair this morning. '" "We claim that we are the popu list party in North Carolina and that Bn tier and the (minority caucus is drifting to the democratic party Butler is courting democratic aid for 1900 to assist him to the vice-presidency, knowing well that he cannot get any help from the Re publican party, as he has passed the political deadline. ' "Any insinuation of bribery, or that I have accepted any office for voting for Pritchard for the United States Senate is an infamous, mali cious, downright, slanderous lie. We will perfect a complete organiza tion." There was talk today that the ma jority Populists would not act with the Republicans in the reorganiza tion of the institutions. The Repub licans have a clear majority in the house on a combination with tho bolters, and it is very likely that they can control the Senate. Hull depends upon what McCasky and Parker do. McCaskey declined to say today how he would vote. SKINNER LEAVES ALSO.

Mr. Mo Coskey said today: "I remained in the crucus a9 long as I colild last evening, but the resolutions were not passed while 1 was there. I think they are revolutionary and I do not .subscribe to them. Unless they are modified my relations are forever severed with tho caucus. I shall noi go back in the caucus any more. The action taken last night is simply boy-cotting men who would have stultified themselves had they voted differently from what they did." Representative Pagan, who has been one of the minority and who went back in the caucus la9t night endorsed what Senator MnCaskev said. RepresentativesWhitener and Dr. Person, members of the majority voted against the resolution expell ing the minority. Mr. Whitener said today. "I voted against the resolutions last night.

" Representative Hodges one of the original 19 who walked out of the caucus said this morning of the ac tion of the majority last night. "There is not one of the 19 mem bers of the minority, who will resent the action of the majority last night, I am not in favor of being trampled upon and if there is no other alter native I am in favor of reorganizing the party and appointing an execu tive committee. We will probably caucus tonight, I am one of those who walked out of the populist cau cus; because I did not propose to be led into the democratic party. Harris, of Hyde, another of the bolters who returned to the majority caucus last night for a short while said today, speaking of the action of the majority caucus, "I think they must be fools.
