T. Peoples Councilor. A Continuous Performance. Louisville, June 26. A continuous performance of a howling farce, last ing? eight hours, a rare vocal entertain ment, with soloists and chorus of several hundred voices, declamation and tin-horn tests oflung power, made up the sixth day's session of the Demo cratic State Convention, and it nar rowly escaped winding up in an exhi bition of pugilism and marksman ship. From 10 o'clock until 6 o'clock today Central Music Hall contained, without doubt, the most uproarious and dis orderly body of men that ever gather ed together for the transaction of political or other business. Angered by what they considered an arbitrary ruling of the chair, in refusing to allow an appeal from his decision declaring out of order a motion to remove police men from the hall, over half the dele gates set about with all the energy thev could command to prevent by deafening noise the transaction of any further business until they secured a vote on this appeal. This plan was successfully carried out until nearly 6 o'clock this evening, when princi pally because of utter physical ex haustion the filibusterers allowed themselves to be outwitted and the ballot on nomination for Governor, which the chair nad ordered early in the morning and had tried repeatedly to proceed with, was concluded by having the county chairman, or as many as would, come to the stage and yell their votes to the clerk, who at a distance of a few inches was able to catch the figures. Before they fairly realized it they were beaten and a second ballot was reached, this time with less tribula tion. These two ballots, both fruit less, represent the day's work of the convention. After they were com pleted all were glad enough to ad journ until iu o'clock to morrow morn ing. Behind this spectacular entertain ment the three candidates for Gover nor worked like beavers. Today it was clearly Goebel against the field, and the Kenton countv leader, cold and nerveless as ever, has successfully defied his two opponents to combine and beat him. They may do it yet, but so far they have shown themselves woefully lacking in their ability to throw their vote in any one direction direction or to keep it silent when their managers deemed it best that no votes be cast. Goebel controls the organization of the convention and through it the State central committee, but at present the fight is as open and as fierce as it has been at any time, Many delegates, weary after last week's excitement or at the end of their allowance for expense account, have gone home. What effect this will have on the contest is an open ques tion, but it has seriously alarmed many of the candidates for minor officers. The chairman's efforts to secure a roll call on the nomination for Gover nor, after the convention convened, developed a season of excited speech making. Then came a deafening chorus of sing-song yells, the chairman beating time with his gavel. After several minutes of this pandemonium, a face tious delegate arose. ''Gentlemen," he raid, after struggling some time to himself heard, "there seems to be a general disposition to sing. Why uot let us sing together ; let us sing 'Praise God from Whom all Blessings Flow.' A wave of laughter swept over the hall ; then all caught up the strain and the hymn was sung amid surroundings that made it sound weired an I un canny, not Indicative of peace and good will. But sacred music never had a less soothing influence, and another at tempt to start the roll-call was howled down. At this juncture a delegate rushed to the stage. Immediately in front of the chairman stood a line of blue co its. The excite:! delegate be gan to denounce the police, the chair man, and things generally. An officer laid his hands on the disturber's shoulders. The convention arose as one man and to the front of the bouse began. Every delegate was on his feet and wildly excited. This gesti culating, noisy mass surged forward; pushing back the police and crowding them against the stage. Four of the dissidents, with presence ot mind, took possession of the disturber and hustled him out of the way. The police who had been stoically listening to all sorts ot denunciation for an hour, evidently took the matter seriously. One of of them, Captain Maher, pulled his re volver. His intention probably was to protect Chairman Redwine, who had made his way to the rear of the stage. At any rate the crowd did not catch sight of the weapon or the convention might have developed what had been momentarily feared for nearly a week. a general fight. The disorder continued without in terruption until after 5 o'clock, when the Goebel men bit upon the plan to have county chairmen come to the stage and cast the votes of their dele gates. This set their frenzied oppon ents besides themselves with anger, but the roll call proceeded, the awful din increasing all the while. County chairmen came to the stage and the clerk had to lean over to very close range to catch a word that was said The Hardin men and many Stone dele gates did not vote. After half an hour of the hardest kind of work, the ballot was forced and announced as follows Goebel, 352 ; Stone, 261; Hardin, 67. The chair ordered another ballot whereupon Ollie James, a big lunged Stone leader, cried : "All Hardin and Stone men refuse to vote." "They won't do it," the Geobelites responded, defiantly, and sure enough they did not and predictions that have been made that the weakness of Har din and Stone would show itself in the lack cf control over their delegates were verified. The last ballot, the thirteenth, resulted: Geobef 320; Stone 275 ; Hardin 89 By agreement between the candi dates the convention adjourned uutil 1 o'clock to-morrow morning." Race Trouble in Alabama. Birmingham, Ala., June 26 Two armed bodies of men are holding de termined vigil near Cardiff, in this county to-night. One body is com posed of white men, officers of this county, and the other of negroes. Early this morning it was reported that John Shepard, the negro who assaulted Mrs. Monroe Jones, near Carona last Wednesday, had been seen in that vicinity. Officers immediately set out to capture him. The news spread and negroes began arming themselves, securing Winchester rifles as though by magic. They kept congregating at Broodside, two miles from Cardiff, until there were fully two hundred of them. The negroes said their only purpose was to prevent violence being done to Shepard's life. Two special trains from this city, with deputies and a detachment of cavalry, went out this afternoon. The negroes were dis persed, but the rapist was not cap tured, To-night the sheriff of Walker coun ty has joined the posse from here and the search is being continued. The blacks are angry and many citizens expect further trouble. Since the race riots in that vicinity a year ago they have had arms secreted. Colored Girl Killed. Lexington, Ga., June 20 Albert Brightwell. colored, was lodged in jail here today, charged with the murder of a negro girl twelve years old, on last Thursday. The girl, it seems.was employed to carry water to the farm hands, of whom Brightwell was one. When -she neglected to bring water at the proper time, Brightwell became en raged and smashed her skull with a bludgeon. - The negroes of the com munity are much enraged and there may be trouble. Richmond, Va., June 26 James H. Nelson, weighmaster and storekeeper for the W. R.Trigg Shipbuilding Com pany here, was run over and killed by train 011 the Southern Railway at 11:40 o'clock this morning. His body was terribly mangled. Mr. lson was the father of Mr. Jesse A. Nelson the Su perintendent of the Trigg Ship Yards. Iff Like Pouring Water In a Sieve. Washington, June 27. The Presi dent upon bis return to Washington was promptly acquainted with the situation in the Philippines as exhibit ed in General Otis' statement cabled yesterday. He was in conference for a time with Secretary Alger respecting the best method of carrying out Gen eral Otis' desire to maintain at least throughout the rainy season, an effec tive fighting force of not less- than 20, 000 men in the islands. In the General's last estimate which was received yes terday is not noted that he asks for an "effective" force of 30,000 men. The last estimate will oblige the War De partment to secure more troops, Gen eral Otis' sick report and his casuality list make it evident that provision must be at once to supply the short age of about 13 per cent in his force. The officials are taking into considera tion the assurance of the medical authorities that no diminution in this disability rate can be expected during the wet season, but that the conditions may grow even worse as the season advances. Many of these men will have to be invalided home to the United States, it being demonstrated particularly in the typhoid cases, that convalescence is rare unless the pa tient leaves the Philippines. Thus the Department will be under the neces sity of keeping up a steady flow of recruits from the United States if General Otis' desire is to be complied with. The recruiting officers' reports indicate an ability on their part to supply i.Ooo men a week, more than sufficient, it is believed, to meet Gener al Otis' estimate m the future, while, as at the present, the Department has assembled 5,000 recruits at San Fran cisco ready for transportation as soon as the ships can be found. It is not known at the War Depart ment how General Otis has succeeded in his undertaking to form three skele ton regiments from the volunteers now in the Pnilippinee who are willing to re enlist. An impression prevails at the War Department that a large pro portion of the volunteers may be re enlisted if some arrangoment can be made whereby the men can be allowed to make a visit to their friends and relatives in the United States. The idea is re-enlist them in the Philip pines, and give them a furlough to re turn to the United States. This fur lough would be foi at least four months, for more than half' of that time would be required to make the round trip from Manila to the United States. Ilice Importation 1'i-uliibited. Vancouver, B. C, June 28. Orien tal advices by the steamship Empress of China are to the effect that the ex port of rice from Wuhu has been sud denly Interdicted by the viceroy 0 Nanking, acting under instructions from Pekin, on the ground that China is on the eve of war. Another reason is given that the requirements of the people within the Yang-Tse region do not permit any export of grain. Since the introduction of trolley cars in Korea, several children have been run over and killed in Seoul. The people, to the number of several hund red, burned one car and smashed another. The Japanese and European engineers narrowly escaped death. The ignorant people attributed the drouth, which has contiuued for some time, to the construction of the electric rail ways. San Francisco, June 29 H. J Baron formerly an Eastern newspaper man. has written the following to The Asso ciated Press from W range!, Alaska, un der date of June 24 : Information received here several weeks ago, seemingly confirms the story that Andree, the arctic explorer, is dead. A Norwgian who was a pas senger on the Rosalie, a Seattle boat, bound for Skagway, showed a letter supposed to have been written by Ahdree. The letter Is h a sealed bottle, had been washed ashore off the Norwegian coast and date , May 4lh. The latitude was given as 75 north, as the balloon was some'where to the westward of Iceland. "I am leaving balloon and provi sions Andree, ' were the words writ ten. Davis In Durham Jail Durham, June 28. Chancy Davis, the Edgecombe county house-breaker, was brought here on the early train this morning and placed in the county jail for safe keeping. Davis Is charg ed with burning the house of Mrs. Turner W. Battle, near Cool Springs, six miles from Rocky Mount, on the night of May 7th- Davis was arrested some time after the crime was com mitted but he escaped and was re arrested in Bertie county. After the preliminary trial at Tarboro last Mon day there was strong talk of lynching, and the officers shipped him away to Sharpsburg, and from there he was carried to Raleigh. From Raleigh he was brought here and will re main in the Durham county jail until time for his trial. In conversa tion with him today Davis told your correspondent tnat he was innocent of the crime and said that the authori ties did not have but very little, if any' evidence against him. "For that rea son," he said, "they are trying to lynch me they know they cannot con viet." He did not seem to care but very little about the charge and only seemed to be interested in the fact that a mob was after him. While talk ing to me Davis examined the steel cell in which he Is confined and said guessed the lynchers would have a hard time getting to him through the heavy bars. Washington, June 28. The post office department was officially noti fied today of the arrest of Postmaster Louis Qtto, of Key West, Fla., and the placing of the postmaster in the hands of his sureties. Otto is charged with rendering false accounts and the post al authorities here assert their belief that the salaries due employees have been shaved by the postmaster. Clerksville, June. Five men were drowned today in the Mississippi river a mile above here by the over-turning of a skiff. They were government laborers engaged in the river improve ment work. Kinston In Darkness. Kmston, N. C, June 27. Fire de stroyed J. A. Harney's shingle mill here this morniug, catching about 4 o'clock by a spark from the smoke stack. The loss on the mill is about $2,500, with only $t,ooo insurance. The power house of the Kinston Electric Light plant caught, damaging the dynamos, switchboard, etc., to such an extent that the town will have to do without electric lights for several months, until the machines can be sent to the factory and be repaired The direct loss to the town is about $i,ooi, with no insurance. LUCAMA LKTTER. June 28th, 1899. Editor Times: Mr. Jarres E. Barnes and Miss Effie Parish were married Tuesday night, A. T, Barnes officiating. Mr. Charlie R. Barnes put in a bam of primings Monday. Charlie savs he has three acres of fine tobacco and has not hired but one days work on his farm since Christmas. We had a very fine rain Monday and crops are looking very promising. The were two marriages reported to be latt Sunday but neither couple were married. I wonder what was the mat ter. No Hope. Baseball. The Wilson ball team left last Mon day for Tarboro and on Mon v and Tuesday played a team f m that place. The Wilson team had ) hired men and little training; while the Tarboro team had only two home men aud all showed good, practice. This of course, accounts for the scores, both of which show Wilson's defeat. On Monday 9 to 2 and on Tuesday, 16 to 6 showed Wilson's failure to play play ball. However next Tuesday and Wednesday, July 4th and 6th, Tarboro will come here atd then: well you know Wilson always comes out on top. t
