DISTRICT REPUBLICANS. HOLD A STORMY CONVEN TION HERE TODAY. T. C Milllken Nominated for Congress The Wake Dele gates Thrown Out. The republican congressional con vention for this district met at noon today in the court house. Many prominent republican - from other parts of the state were present, as lookers on, among them H. G. Ewart, H. O. Mason, J. C. Pritchard, Oliver H. Dockery, A. E. Horton, T. C. Mil- ikin and J. B. Eaves. A. E. John ston, colored," was temporary chair man and H. E. Christmas was elected secretary. The populists were very, very few. The roll of counties was called and all were found to be represented except Nash. When the appointment of a 'jredentiala com mittee came in order quite a discus sion arose between John Wililamson, James Young and delegate Lane as tn whether the committee should be com posed of three members or of one member fcm each county. All made fiery talks on the subject and William son, at one time referred to his "old boss," meaning J. C. L. Harris, and said that he was no longer "under the whip." The question coining to a vote, the vote was announced a tie, leven to eleven. The chairman decided in favor of the committee of three and appointed the following committee, I. Y. ,.Katman of Vance, F. M. Farrell of Chatham and J. H. Wil lirmson of Franklin. While the com mittee was out O. H. Dockery wai called on for a speech but declined to make it." Speech-making did not seem to be popular with the delegates and while the committee was deliber ating they contented themselves with talking politics in undertones. The committee, when it returned, reported that the Wake county dele gation was not entitled to seats. The charge was that Harris had practically appointed the delegation himself, and that one delegate, who lives sixteen miles from here, was appointed only two hours before the convention met, so that Young, an alternate, might represent Wake. At the county con tention Saturday amotion, introduced y Lane, was passed to the effect that ihe chairman appoint the Wake county delegation. The committee said that this was irregular and there fore threw oat the Wake county dele gation. James Young, colored, J. I. Moore and John Williamson made vigorous and earnest speeches. Youug and Moore spoke excitedly and strongly about "whipper ' snapper," "gag law," etc, and denounced the committee. Farrell, a member of the committee, started to make a state ment of some sort, but Williamson got up and whispered in his ear, at which the gentleman changed his tune com pletely. It was then evident that the fight was on between the straight ticket faction and the fusionists. The f usionists wanted Stroud endorsed for congress; the Wake county delegation being in favor of fusion the action of the committee, all straight ticket men, looked "shady." The discussion had waxed warm and personal between Young and Williams, and the latter at one time said that J. C. L. Harris and Jim Young were not republicans but parasites of Stroud. On motion the report of the committee was adopted, 9 to 2, and the Wake county delegation was therefore disqualified A. K. Johnson, colored, was elected permanent chairman. R. I. Moore of Franklin . then made a talk and moved that the convention ad journ. This was laid on the table. On motion the convention went into nomination for a member of congress. John Williamson, colored, nominated T. C. Milliken. of Randolph. Ex- sheriff Moore, of Franklin, then arose and abused Millikwn and the conven tion, saying, in answer to a question by Johnson, that he did cast a reflec tion on the convention. " He then left of the hall, bidding the convention an "everlasting farewell." He came back and tried to speak but was compelled to quit by the chairman, who declared that no one would be permitted to speak eicept for or against a motion. Moore then left for good.. John Saunders, of Johnston, also came sp, denounced the trickery of the conven tion and left the hall. Milliken in a short talk declined the nomina tion. In spite of this the roll of coun ties was called and Milliken was nom inated. Johnston county declined to vote. A. C. Johnston was unanimously elected chairman of the executive com mittee for the 4:h congressional dis trict and II. K. Christmas was elected secretary. The executive committee is: Vance, J. Y. Katon; Franklin, J. H. Williamson; Randolph, T. ('. Milli ken; Chatham, H. I. Mason; Wake, D. P. Lane, and Nash, J. J. Sharp. There was anything but harmony displayed in the convention. The fight was between the fusion and anti fuHiou factions and, as will be seen, the a nt is scored a victory. Immedi ately after the convention adjourned a venerable colored man walked around in the room swearing he would "vote the democratic ticket in the next elec tion." PAMLICO IS DEAD. The Great Trotting Stallion will Race no More. Pamlico, the well known trotting stallion, died this morning at Hartford, Conn., after 36 hours' sickness. He was owned jointly by Mr. W. P. Batch elor of this city, and Mr. E. D. Spurr of Kentucky. He was foaled in 1885, in Vermont and was in 1887 brought here by Mr. Batchelor. His best time in this state was 2:37. He made his last appearance in this state at the races at the state fair grounds, in 1892, and that month a half interest in him was sold to Mr. Spurr and he was taken to Kentucky. He has since made a grand record. In the fifth heat of a race at Terre Haute, Indi ana, he made his mile in 2:10. He has won 14 races. Next Thursday week he was to have trotted in a great race at Fleetwood park, against Alix Mr. Batchelor said today that Pamlico was tne greatest of trotting stallions There was only $5,000 insurance on him. He was worth at least $30,000, He was a wonderfully game horse, and to this much of his popularity was attributable, for he was popular on all the tracks where he ever ap peared. His owners were really de voted to him. Most Raleigh people knew the horse well, and there is really a tinge of sadness in the tones in which people say " ramheo is dead." Farming on Large Scale. Gov. Carr was at "Halifax" farm, on the Roanoke, today. He will visit the other farm tomorrow and Friday. The farming is on a large scale. There are three farms.

A? runaway horse, attached to a country wagon in which was a fright ened and wrathy countryman, created good deal of excitement on Hall fax street this morning.
