the spikes drawn from ten ties and the

The train carried $1,000,000 in currency
enroute from the Mexican Central rail

Ex-Judge A. Pratt Adams died in

Judge Adnms was in his fortieth year.
He was a native of Savannah and gradu
ated from the University of Georgia, be
ing a class-mate of Henry Grady, Judge
Emory Speer and other men prominent in
Georgia life He had scarcely reached
his majority when he was admitted to
the bar in Savannah. Half his brief life,
therefore, was dedicated to the study and
practice of jurisprudence. Rapid and
steady progress marked the passage of
each year. . TV:;
For seven years he presided over the
Eastern judicial circuit, succeeding
Judge Henry B. Tompkins, who retired
and removed to Atlanta. Judge Adams
followed bis example in 1839 by volun
tarily returning to , the ranks of his pro
fession." 7' I : -7'-:'':-: -'"
Although Judge Adams ascended the
bench at the early age of thirty, he at
once gave evidence of his entire fitness
for the position. He brought to his new
station a mind stored with all the judi

courage and a stern impartiality. No
murmur of dissatisfaction was ever heaxd
by client or advocate in the forum of h.23

iOUTH CAROLINA DEMOCRATS
Meet in State Convention at Colombia
Tillman Nominated.
The S.mth Carolina state democratic
invention met at Columbia at boou
Wednesday; full delegations p.esxt
I he primary elections already held hav
ng settled the question of nominations
for state officers except as to attorney
general, in which there is only - local in
tefest, the greatest interest in the con
vention hinged on whether the state de
mocracy would align itself with the na
tional democracy. The morning session
was occupied in effecting permanent or
ganization and routine work. Rjcess
was taken till 6 p.m.
Upon reassembling the committee on
platform and resolutions reported the
following:
THE PIiATFOKM ADOPTED.
We, representatives of the democratic
party of South Carolina, in convention
assembled, do reaffirm our allegiance to
the principles of the party as formulated
by Jefferson, exemplified and illustrated
by his successors in the leadership, and
endorsed by our people in the recent pri
mary election, and we pledge our loyal
support to the nominees of the national
democracy, Cleveland and Stevenson.
We denounce as unpatriotic and infa
mous the attempts which have been made
to injure the credit and honor of the
state, both at home and abroad. ,
The people of South Cat ol in a, con
scious of their ability and integrity, are
determined that every just obligation of
the state shall be honorably and prompt
ly discharged, and we boldly proclaim
that upon this one subject there is no
difference or division of sentiment among
some of the states. The bonded debt of
the state is small. Her resources are large
and ample. Ia her phosphate deposits
alone the state is rich, and since the liti
gation in regard thereto has been adjust
ed, the monthly receipts from the phos
phate royal tyjf or the past two moaths were
nearly sufficient to meet the interest on
the debt itself. We earnestly recommend
to the legislature to set apart by law any
excess of - the phosphate royalty after
paying the annual interest on the state
debt as a sinking fund to be placed at
interest and sacre ily kept and used for
the purpose of pay:ng the principal of
the state debt.
TILLMAN TICKET NOMINATED.
Governor, Benjamin Tillman ; lieutenv
ant governor, Eugeno B. Cary ; secretary
of state, J. E. Tindall; comptroller gen
eral, W. H. Ellerbe; treasurer, W. T. C.
Bates; attorney-general, D. A. Towps
end; superintendent of education, W. D.
Mayfield; adjutant and inspector general
H. L. Farley, were nominated as the
state ticket by the Farmers' Alliance
demociats, the regular democracy of the
state. .
The result was received with tumultu
ous cheering. The candidates who re
ceived the nominations were then intro
duced to the convention and made short
speeches of acceptance. The election
of presidential electors will result in the
selection of the Tillman ticket, the mem
bers of which are pledged to support
Cleveland and Stephenson. The conven
tioby a vive voce vote passed the fol
lowing resolution :
"We, the democratic party of South
Carolina in convention assembled, desire
to express our appreciation of thejjpatri
otic services of the Columbia Register,
its able editor, Mr. T. L. Gantt, in behalf
of the cause of true democracy and the
rights of the people."
After the transaction of some farther
routine business, the convention ad
journed sine die." 1
BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
Some Improvement Noted for the Past
Week.
Dun & Co.'s review for past week says:
The alarm about cholera has vanished
and trade in every direction shows all the
improvement that was expected. The
south is a little dull because cotton is
low in price and late, but a little im
provement has been seen during the past
week. The volame of business continues
larger than last year's, although unprec
edented orops then made it much greater
thn in any previous year. The unavoid
able conclusions that in the distribution
of manufactured products, the increase
this year has been extraordinary. Col
lections are exceptionally good on the
whole and although money is la active
and increasing demand at nearly all
points, the supply is ample for all legit
imate necessities. ' Gold exports have
cased, foreign exchange has declined,
ancLthe money market is at present with
out disturbing features.
Wheat has covered 1 3 8 cents for the
extremely low price of a week ago, but
sales at New York have been 6,000,100
bushels.
Speculation in cotton has been large,
sake reaching 730,000 bales, and the price
has been advanced 8-16 by the covering
of short sales. . The crop, is late, and the
movement thus far much behind last
year. At Baltimore, busineis ia satisfac
tory, though quiet with the south, but
exceedingly good in shoes, lumber and
cattle.
At Memphis, trade is improving
though of small volume, and at New Or
leans cotton is in better demand and su
gar strong and active. Pig iron is firm
er, some Alabama furnaces advancing the
price 25 cents, but bar iron Is slightly ea
sier, some slackening is seen in plate3,
and on the whole, the prospects fot fin
ished products is not quite as favorable .
Coal is active in the retail trade, and
shipments for the year show an increase
of 6 per cent, but it is freely offered by
the outsiders at 15 to 40 cents below the
scheduled prices, and actual sales in Au
pst by Lehigh Valley average 24 cents
below the schedule. The demand for
m f S1 Jolens is surprisioglv larffe.
o.d stocks being rapidly cleared off,
it has been a big season for cloakm
while ia dress goods the the trade is
very heavy. Cotton goods are full of
activity, some qualities having advanced.
Prints are in pressing demand, and print
cloths quoted at 3 cents for 64'a. in
wooL increasing actively is seen, sales
far exceeding last year's and carpet wools
are-especially firm and scarce.
Business failures throughout the coun
try, during the last seven days as reported
to R. G. Dun & Co., number 183. against
2101astyear.
CRASHED INTO EACH OTHER
Fourteen People Lose their: Un in a
BaflM ColMoi
The Wreck takes Fire and Haay'of the
Unfortunate Victims are Boasted.
Special dispatches from Cleveland, O.,
state that what will undoubtedly prove
to be the' most disastrous accident that
ever occurred in the history of the Pitta
burg, Fort Wayne and Chicago railway,
took place Wednesday morning at thre
o'clock in what is known as Brown's cut,
a mile and a half from the village of
Shreve, Wayne county, Ohio.
Train No. 8, a fast cast-bound passen
ger and express train, collided at that
?oint with the first section of freight No.
5, west-bound. The passenger train
was about one hour late and was running
at the rate of sixty miles an hour. It is
stated that the engineer and fireman of
the freight, while standing on a side
track at Shreve, fell asleep and were
awakened by hearing a train rushing by.
Thinking that it was No. 8, the engineer
pulled out on the maiu track, and had
just got under way when the trains met.
The collision occurred on a sharp curve
and in a cut where neither crew was able
to see the other train approaching.
The engines came together with such
awful force that the mail car and smok
ing car of the express were thrown on
top of the passenger engine and a freight
car filled with printing presses waa
thrown over the freight engine. The
passengers and trainmen, who esoaped,
say the accident had hardly taken place
before flames burst forth and they be
lieve that but two or three persons were
killed outright, the others having been
pinned down in the csrs and slowly
roasted to death. Thirteen burned and
blackened trunks have been taken from
the wreck.
ALatir Account.
A news special of Thursday from Pitts
burg says: It is now definitely "known
that there were but two women and one
child burned in the Fort Wayne railroad
wreck at Shreve, instead of three women
as first reported. This reduces the num
ber of dead to eleven. The charre I re
mains of the women have been identified
as Mrs. F. Schalley, and her sister, Wis
Campbell. Mrs. Bchalley waa the- '
er of the child killed in the wreot
wieck was caused by a blunder, bik
was responsible for it has not yet'fW - -developed.
Superintendent Statr
there was no confusion of orders as thei
were no orders. The fire Completely
wiped out all trace of baggage aud ex
press matter. Financial loss by wreck
cannot be estimated. It is reported thit
in the mail burned there was about $80,
000 in bills. This is only what was in
registered packages. Express matter
was all burned except thirty-six silver
bricks, worth at least $75,000. These
were, recovered. There were possibly fif
ty or sixty pieces of baggage destroyed,
but what their value was the company as
yet do not know.
THE CENTRAL'S AFFAIRS
Will In all Probability be Straightened
Out Satisfactorily.
A special dispatch from New York says :
Important steps were taken Thursday in
the direction ot securing the discharge of
the Georgia Central receivers and taking
up the floating debt now held by Speyer
& Co. It is also Hkoly that the manage
ment f the road will change hands, Pres
ident Comer stepping out and being suc
ceeded by C. H. Phinixy, of Augusta, Ga.
Formal action ia the matter was taken at
a fnll board meeting of the Georgia Cen
tral directors held at the Fifth Avenue
hotel, where a committee was appointed
with full power to readjust the floating
debt and secure the discbarge of the re
ceivers. A full membership of the com
mittee could not be found, but among
those on it are: TL Rollins Morse, of .
Rollins Morse & Bros , Boston; E. len
nison, of E. W. Clark & Co., Philadel
phia; F. M. Colson, of Wilson, Colson
& Co., Baltimore; C. H. Phinizy, of
Augusta, Ga.; E. T. Woodward, presi
dent of the Hanover bank of New York,
and Emanuel Lehman and EL B. Hollins,
also of New York.
It was generally understood that be
fore the committee waa formally appoint
ed that they had fully discussed the
matter and all arrangements made to pay
off the floating debt and change the man
agement of the company.
AMFUB ASSETS.
The New York Tiibune, in its issue of
Friday, says:
"The Georgia Central management has
baen rsvalationiged ia the last year. In No
vember, 1891. when the Calhoun brothers were
still in the board of directors, the pressing
nteds of the company were provided for by a
loan mad by a banking syndicate including
Spejer&Co., Knh . Loeb 4 Co., L. Von Hoff
man & Co., Hallgarten A Co., and others; aid
one other was made by the Mutual late Insur
ance Company. In last Jannary the Richmond
Terminal laflnenca left the Calhoun brothers
off the board of director of the Georgia Cen
tral. The strnjrtfe to re-organize the Richmond
Terminal STBtem followel, bat in March the
Georgia Central was place 1 in the hands of a
receiver, and sinoe that time the oompny has
been managed by interests hostile to tne Rich
mond Terminal. ' .
Litigation over the lease of the Georgia Cen
tral to the Georgia PafliAs followed and a mass
ofl-gal comp'ica-ion arose which is still un
settled. It ia said by tha friends of the Geo,
gia Central thai it would not require more
than e 3,000, 000 or $3,000,000 to provide for the
Sparer and other loans aud interes on bond
edmdebtedneas now in default. The assets of
the company are alleged to be ample for tho
purpose of raising this money.
. v NEGROES DISSATISFIED
With the Workings of the Jferr Election

Advices of Monday received from Cal
houn county, Arkansas, state that there
is a general uprising of negroes ia Camp

HISTORY III GEROGIA
One of the Studies Prohibited by State
Law.
Capt. & D. Brad well, the state school
commissioner, issued a circular letter a
ew days ago which will make a stir
tmoog the teachers and boards of edu
cation all over Georgia. The commis
sioner has embodied some important
features of the school law in the form of
instructions to county boards of e luca
tion. Under his construction of the law,
a number of studies are illegally pursued.
History, . for instance, is not prescribed
by the state law, and teachers who have
history classes are liable to forfeit their
pay for all students who are taking it.
Capt. Brad well does not approve this,
but it is the law. He believes that history
should be taught, but the law Is ex
plicit on what shall be taught. These
instructions bring out clearly the
hardships of the present law and are cal
culated to create a sentiment which will
compel its modification, by amendment.
Captain Bradwell advovates a uniform
system of textbooks for the entire state.
Now each county board adopts its own
books. There has been too inueh manip
ulation in getting books changed and the
state school commissioner wants that pre-;
vented. Georgia's school books in use
represent a total investment of $800,000.
Every year the parents have to spend
$300,000 to purchase new books. A uni
form system for the state would save
parents $200,000 a year.
