the Senate, and his refusal to accept the appointment tendered him by Governor Northen was the clearest prcof of hia unnelflsh patriotism, lie had just fairly won before the- peop of Georgia a seat in the Senate. In that body he would have added to his great national reputation, and I reBret sincerely that he has not been spared to fill it." Si-nkf r Crisp' Career. Charles Frederick Crisp was born in Sheffield, Englaid, Jan. 29, while his parents .were on a trip abroad. In his early life he was identified with the stage. lie obtained his education in the Georgia public schools and served in the Confederate army from the outbreak of the rebellion till he - was made a prisoner of war in 1864. At the close of the war he studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1;6, and in 1872 was appointed Solicitor-general of the South- , western judicial district of Georgia. In 1877 he was appointed Judge of the Superior Court, which position he filled for several years. Tn 1882' he resigned to go to Congress, lie served continuously since the beginning of the Forty-eighth Congress and was re-elected last fall, receiving 11,574 votes against 4,982 votes for Wimberly, the People's party candidate. Mr. Crisp was not a forcible speaker, but a man of great tact and possessed of other qualities that eminently fitted him for the leadership in a parliamentary assemblage. His first prominence in national affairs came from the skill with which he led hi party in several warm election contests. The prestige lie then acquired led to his election to the speakership after one of the most memorable canvasses in the history of the House. His chief opponent was Senator Roger Q. Mills, who he defeated after a struggle that was prolonged so that the House of Representatives, contrary to custom, assembled on the opening day with the question of its next Speaker still in doubt. As Speaker Mr. Crisp's rulings were upheld and though sometimes they were the subject of considerable criticism from hia political opponents he always commanded their respect and confidence. He was a pronounced advocate of the free coinage of silver, and on one occasion his casting vote as Speaker saved the defeat of a free-coinage bill. On the other hand, it was largely due to his firmness in ruling that the House passed the Sherman silver repeal law, his ruling defeating a formidable filibustering movement led by Mr. Bland, of Missouri, and others..

W. J. Bryan's Tribute. PEORIA, 111., Oct. 23. William J. Bryan expressed himsj!f hurprised and deeply grieved at the dath of Mr. Criip. He said: "While I have known that Mr. Crisp was feeble in health, I had not thought his life was In danger. His death will be a great loss to the Democrats of the Nation, because he was one of the strongest in public life. He was so kind to me during my four years of public life that I feel that his death is a persona.1 loss to me." Mr. Bryan immediately sent a dispatch of condolence to Mrs. Crisp. COLUMBUS DELANO.

Mr. Carlisle and his escorts did not stop for this. The party pressed right on, though the mob appeared to be overpowering the officers. Two or three desperate surges were made toward the entrance,' but the police did not give way, and were beating back the intruders with their billies. On the outside the pressures was greater, but the little knot of citizens and officers pressed through as rapidly as possible, without any serious interruption. Handfulss of sand were thrown into " the midst of the party until they had got about forty feet from the entrance of ' the hall in the direction of Scott street, when John Fagan attempted to assault the Secretary by throwing a lighted cigar into the party and making a vicious thrust at Mr. Carlisle with some kind of an instrument. The police were too quick for the assailant and his blow was warded off by two officers, who threw him into the street, where he was afterwards pfcKed up and taken to the station. He was locked up. Yut later released, as the officers claim that there was no charge against him. There were no more direct attempts to interfere with the progress of the party on the way tip Fifth street in the direction of Garrard, n.'id Mr. Carlisle reached Colonel Helm's jryidence without further molestation." ; TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES.

CONFERENCE AT NASHVILLE WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE ENDED I FAILURE AG A IX. Chicago PopocratH, After Making; Many Thrent. Decide to Parade on the West Side Oct. 31. ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 23. The subcommittee of the Populist State central committee, to whom was intrusted the settlement of the fusion question, to-night formally withdrew the Populist electoral ticket in Georgia. This is understood to be the result of a failure of negotiations between Chairman Jones and Committeeman Washburn in Chicago. The Populists will devote themselves to electing their congressional candidates, on which, it is said, they will in several instances have the assistance of the Republican vote. A large section of the Populist vote will be cast for McKniley. WtitKon Still Bitter. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 23. "Tom" Watson, of Georgia, Populist Chairman George W. Washburn and H. W. Reed, national Populist committeeman of Georgia, met in this city to-day and had two long conferences. Washburn and Reed said fusion was the object of the conference, but what was accomplished or whether agreements were made or agreed to none of the three prominent politicians would say. Mr. Watson would not talk, Mr. Reed had nothing to say and Mr. WasMburn said very little and what he said, he was particular to state, was not to be inferred as resulting from the conferences held, but chiefly his own opinion. Mr. Washburn refused to say whether the conferences had or had not decided upon anything. To-night, to a packed house, Mr. Watson, of Georgia, defended Populism and the Populist party, maning a. strong . speech, which met with a hearty reception from the 1,500 peop?e present, lie was particularly bitter in places and was as severe as words could be when speaking of vice presidential candidate Sewall. He charged him with being a plutocrat, bond clipper, railroad king and that he was running hand in hand with the gold bugs and that his presence on the ticket was a menace to the election of Mr. Bryan. The speech was a stirring, terse appeal for the support of his party and has renewed the spirits of Populists here. Paul Vnndervstort's Views. TOPEKA. Kan., Oct. 23. Paul Vandervoort, of Omaha, who has been in Kansas for the past ten days delivering middle-of-the-road Populist addresses, has finished his Kansas tour and left for Texas. Before departing he talked to a reporter. He declared the "Populists of Kansas were muzzled at the uresent time by the fusion leaders, but that they could express themselves right on election day." Watson, he continued, had made a straight ami honest fight to maintain the princip.es of the People's party and his supporters would never be delivered to Sewall. CAI1IXET ALL IX ACCORD. Secretary Francis Formally Declares Himself uainnt Ilryan. WASHINGTON, Oct. 23. Secretary of the Interior David R. Francis to-day mule formal announcement of his intention to support Palmer and Buckner and the gold standard Democratic candidate for Governor of Missouri, Trimble. The Secretary's position is stated in a letter which he addressed under date of Oct. 21 to Hon. F. R. Walker, Attorney-general of Missouri. In this letter the Secretary says in part: "This is a time, however, when no man can afford to remain silent. The survival of the Democratic party is threatened; the welfare of the country is imperiled; the perpetuity of the Republic is at stake. I believe the sober second thought of the people will condemn and repudiate those who are trying to array classes against each other and incite '.he discontented to violation of obligations i' not to laivKf-s-ness. And I deny that those of vis who raise a voice against such teachings and protest against the revered name f Democracy being used for ends so base, have departed from the faith or have weakened In devotion to the great principles of government by the people. If the organisation calling itself the reirular L'-emocraey be sftccessful at the coming election commercial disaster, financial rr.ifery, social discontent and national lishonor vouM ensue and the party resnonsiple for such conditions would be cursed by an outraged people for a generation to "ome. Shall Mr. Bryan pass judgment on our Democracy? On what hath he fed that he should presume to formulate tests of party fealty?" LAWLESS POPOCRATS. They Threaten to Parade at Chicago in Deflanee of Authorities. CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-Judge Tuley to-day refused to Issue an injunction restraining Chief of Police Badenoch from interfering with the free-silver parade on the night of Saturday, Oct. 31. He held that the court had no jurisdiction in the matter and that the right to allow the parade was vested in the chief of police. When the Democratic county committee applied for permission to have a parade In the down town streets on that evening Chief Badenoch refused on the ground that permission had already been granted to the Republicans for that evening. A big row was the result and, after futile attempts at compromise with the Republican leaders, the matter was taken into court. Democratic leaders stated in open court to-day that they will fight the police force or any one else who attemps to prevent their marching in parade on the night of Oct. 31. Chief Badenoch, on the other hand, declares that it would endanger the peace of the city to have the two opposing political factions marching the streets at the same time and says that the Democrats will not he allowed to parade. Developments are Uving eagerly awaited. Later After pondering deeply over the matter the Democratic leaders had about come to the conclusion late to-night to hold the proposed parade on the West Side instead of in the down-town business streets, as originally Intended. At a late hour the Democrats asked for and obtained a permit for their West Side parade and it was granted by the chief of police. The last chance of trouble has now disapp?ared. Hill's Xame HiMsed. NEW YORK, Oct. 23. Tammany Hall has this year been unfortunate in Its choice of dates on which to hold its large mass meetings. Rain fell in torrents when the braves turned out to hear Wilbur F. Porter, the candidate for Governor; Frederick C. Schraub, the candidate for Lieutenant Governor; John J. O'Neill, of St. Louis, and C. Heyer Zullck, of New Jersey. Nevertheless there was a crowd which filled the hall. Rastus S. Ransom presided. John B. Goldrick read a set of resolutions ottered by John Sheehan, which. after reiterating the pledges of Tammany Hall to Bryan and Sewall. and urging members to redouble their efforts to carry the State, declared that "the masterful exposition of the National Democratic platform recently pronounced by that able and fearless leader of Western Democracy. Hon. John P. Altgeld, Governor of Illinois, has had the effect of making it clear to all intelligent and Impartial citizens that the Democratic party Is the ark of the covenant of constitutional government." The speeches were all for free silver and denouncing trusts. The names of Hill and Whitney were both loudly hissed. Palmer and Iluckner. ST. PAUL. Minn.. Oct. 23. The Palmer and Buckner gold-standard meeting at the Auditorium this evening was a great political rally. General Buckner and hia party

arrived from St. Cloud this morning and went to the Aberdeen, where they were entertained by a number of prominent Democrats till the time of the reception. This evening they were entertained at dinner at the Aberdeen and escorted from there to the Auditorium by the Young Men's Soundmoney League, the Seventh Ward March. ng Club and other gold-standard organizations.

The doors were fastened, and upon breaking them down the neighbors found Mrs. Leroy, aged ninety years, alone and chained to the walls. The chains were broken and the frantic woman carried frcm the building as the roof fell. Mrs. Leroy made her home with her daughter and son-in-law, both of whom were away from the house when the fire occurred. Tre man was working in the field near by, and the wife returned from a neighbor's house after the building had been burned. Mr. and Mrs. Morse, whose reputation is good, say that the old lady is childish, and to keep her out cf mischief they chained her when they went away from heme. The fire began on the top floor and Mrs. Leroy was chained downstairs. WOMAN WHO CAN SHOOT. Mrs. McMahon Puts Two Bullets in the Body of Patrick Kelly. NEW YORK, Oct. 23. Mrs. John McMahon. who keeps a saloon at Highland, near Peekskill, shot and probably mortally wounded Patrick Kelly yesterday. Kelly went to the barroom and demanded a drink, which was refused. He then seized an cix and proceeded to clean out the establishment. Mrs. McMahon seized a revolver and lired several shots at Kelly, two of them taking effect, one of them in the head and the other in the abdomen. The physician who attended the wounded man said that he would probably die. Mrs. McMahon has been arrested and claims self-defense. THE VENEZUELAN DISPUTE. Xo Proposition Yet Made in Behalf of Lord Salisbury. WASHINGTON, Oct. 23. Sir Julian Pauncefote, British embassador, called at the State Department to-day, and it was surmised he intended to present to Secretary Olney certain propositions regarding the Venezuelan controversy, but it was stated to-night that. Sir Julian's call was one of courtesy to present his respects after arrival, and the question of arbitration was not taken up except that arrangement was made for a formal meeting at the earliest moment Mr. Olney might suggest. It can be stated positively that no notes or negotiations of any kind have passed between Secretary Olney and Lord Salisbury since June 22 last, although reports to the contrary have appeared. The present negotiations will be resumed at the point where they were suspended at that date. Mr. Olney's final proposal on June 22 was that so far as Venezuela was concerned it should be embraced in a treaty of arbitration separate from the general treaty of arbitration. He insisted, however, that Venezuelan arbitration was a prerequisite to any general arbitration, and that the arbitration should be final and embrace all the territory in dispute, settled as well as unsettled. Great Britain being opposed to including the settled districts. In view of the statement by- the foreign officers that the proposals about to be made give hope of a final settlement, it seems likely that Lord Salisbury's answer to Mr. Olney's propositions of June 22 will be favorable or in the line of compromising the differences on details. Chan Gnn Must Be Deported. WASHINGTON, Oct. 23. The Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia to-day affirmed the. decision of the court below in the case of the Chinaman Chan Gun, ordered deported under the exclusion act. The Chinaman claimed he had been a resident of the United States since lS-i:) and went to China as cook of a vessel in 18!9. He visited his wife and family and immediately returned. He claimed that a cook or steward of a vessel was not a laborer under the meaning of the exclusion act. All these points were passed on by the lower court adversely and are affirmed in to-day's decision. The court also sustained Judge Hager, who refused a writ of habeas corpus in the case, and says the court below, which released Gun on bail, erred. Under the exclusion act it is held that a Chinaman ordered deported must be under charge of the United States marshal pending an appeal from the decision. Who Has Lost n World's Fair Medal?

The statement that lie regretted leaving the Democratic party, he says, he cannot allow to go unchallenged. "I left the party'ln sorrow, not anger but I am glad I did leave it." he writes. He supports his first statement about Vigo county by declaring since the sixty-day day poll the situation has improved in every ward of Terre Haute, and that Republican farmers in Vigo county who will vote for Bryan are "scarcer than hens' teeth." Then this declaration: "I can count ten solid, substantial Democrats who will vote for Mckinley for every single Republican that Royse or an other reputable man can count for Bryan in this county."

TALK OF A LYNCHING

SEYMOUR XEGRO HELD FOR ASSAULTING A XIXE-VEAR-OLD GIRL. Death of James McAllister, Whose Life Was Identified with the Early Hlstory of the State. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SEYMOUR, Ind., Oct. 23. A warrant was sworn out to-night charging Peter Laws, a colored man, i-ged forty, with having committed an outrage on Hazel Stevens, a nine-year-old white child, on Oct. . The child has been sick for some time, but did not say anything to her mother of the assault. Dr. Keith was called in last night, and, upon examination, found that the crime had been committed. The child gave as a reason. for not divulging the secret that Laws had threatened to kill her if she ever mentioned it to anyone. The warrant was placed In the hands of Marshal Abe Thicksten, who arrested Laws and placed him in the city jail. He was seen after his incarceration and denied all knowledge of the crime, claiming that the little girl, with a few other girls and boys, were playing in the barn last Saturday a week ago, and that the little girl was climbing down a ladder and that he caught her and lifted her down. Laws has resided here since May, 1805, and has been training horses for A. N. Munden, Henry Bruning and Aaron Loyd. Shortly after his arrest he wras taken before Judge A. H. Hoover and demanded a trial, claiming that he could prove his innocence. The statement of the child as also Laws's statements as to the time when the child was in the barn correspond. When the charge was read to him by the prosecuting attorney Laws said he was not guilty. As he was not ready for trial he was taken back to jail and locked up. His employers refused to see him or go on his bond. The arrest on the charge has caused great excitement, and there is talk of a lynching. IXDIAXA OBITUARY. James A.

He was born in Henry county, Kentucky, April 8, 1S12, his father being of Scotch parentage, and in 1S17 the family moved into Indiana, settling a few miles north of Madison. Here he became familiar with the Indians who afterward gave the whites what is now called the Michigan road, a strip one hundred feet wide, extending from Madison to Lake Michigan, passing through Indianapolis, the stipulation being that the whites should clear the ground, the object of the reds being to obtain an outlet for their hunting and migratory expeditions. He picked up what education he could, always being devoted to books, and finally became a teacher, and for many years, wherever he was, had to do all the letter writing for many illiterate persons. He studied surveying, and out of this grew the idea of contracting, and after several minor successes, about 18:JS, he took and completed an important section of the old canal south of Indianapolis, which still flows through that city. He did much work for the Michigan road, and had important contracts in filling and bridging for the first railroad in Indiana the oid Madison road, now the J.. M. & I. When the Fairland. Franklin & Martinsville railroad wa.s building he had the contract for grading twenty miles between the two latter places.

He entered through a front transom and escaped lv opening a back door. In closing the door he awakened the clerk, who slept in the rear of the store. Macm'onnies Dancing: Bacchante. Harper's Weekly. The Boston Art Commission, which has decided that the Macmonnies Dancing Bacchante is unsuitable to adorn the Boston Public Library, must expect to have its judgment freely criticised and even derided. It does not find fault with the statue; indeed it expressly recognizes its "remarkable technical merits;" but it seems to be satisfied that it is too gay for the Boston library. The Bacchante whom Mr. Macmonnies devised is poised on one foot, and carries a baby on one arm. She is clothed only in the cheerful graces of youth, and her whole attitude implies indifference as to whether school is keeping or not. No doubt the art commission feels that any young female who postures in the library's court, even if not personally bookish, shoukl at least give evidence of being aware that the schoolmaster is abroad. The statue belongs to Mr. MeKim. of the firm of McKim, Meade & White, which built the library. It was given by him to the trustees, and- was exhibited in Boston, where, of course, it found many admirers. So many, observers, however, clamored against it as being deficient in austerity tliat the art commission has tloubtless acted for the best in sending it out of town. It remains to be seen whether Mr. McKim will find occasion to give some institution nearer homo an opportunity to afford an asylum to this interesting waif. St. John Must wVit. Washington Special. It is understood that William P. St. John, treasurer of the national Popocratie committee, has been promised the office of Controller of the Currency in the event of Bryan's election. St. John dois not o-itv for the salary, as he is a rich man, but he would like very much to be in a position to "play horse" . with divers and sundry of his former associates in the national banking business who nave been pointing the finger cf scorn at him since his forced withdrawal from the presidency of a New York bank on account of his free-silver views. It may interest Mr. St. John to know that he could not succeed Mr. Eckels for more than a year after the inauguration of a Popocratie t resident the present incumbent having served only about three and a half years or his liveyear term. Mr. Eckels can only be put out before the expiration of his term by Impeachment proceedings. It would appeal-, therefore, that the Ottawa lawyer ha the laugh on the Popocratie candidate, come what may. Silver Millionaire I uloiullng. Washington Special. Besides the direct reports coming in private letters and by word of mouth of those who have just come to Washington from the battleground, the managing men of the different parties see in other things indications favorable to McKlnley. On the surface the fact that wheat is rising and silver falling in price affords one of these McKlnley indications, and it becomes even more Important, as Secretary Morton suggested to-day, when you consider that th causo

EEV. WILLIAM TUCKEB, It was publicly talked all over Decatur and Kipley counties for some time before the JVeic Era sent a reporter to Piercevilie to fully investigate the Tucker matter. The Tuckers are prominent people and are all well-to-do farmers. The Rev. William Tucker, subject of all the talk, was pleased to allow us an interview. Mr. Tucker looked well and healthy, although he is seventy-five years old, and forty years ago he began preaching in the faith of the Free Baptists. This is his story as he told the reporter : " I was born and reared on a farm and began preaching at an early age. I was always subject to rheumatism, even when quite young. Pains, sharp and acute, would shoeit across my body, causing me much suffering. The doctors pronounced it then a spinal disease. The pains kept getting worse all the time from day to day as the years rolled round, and I experienced many years suffering. "Although I much regretted to,-1 was compelled to retire altogether from my work in the religious eausip. The pains would first start from my spine and limbs, but afterward begun shooting from all parts of the body and it seemed as though a thousand knives were sticking me. After these pains would first come on, my entire body would suddenly grow cold, I would be numb all over and all my muscles would be asleep. I would then turn suddenly blind. I often lay in this condition for hours, and generally I was conscious and knew what was going on, but the suffering was intense and unbearable. No words can describe it.

If the silver mine owners and Speculators believed that Bryan was going to be elected it must be admitted thai they would hold on to their silver and add to their holdings as much as they could buy. in the hope and expectation of making f.ibulous fortunes out of the rise in the price of silver which they say Is sure to follow the success of Bryan.

The first box helped me at once and 1 kept on taking them. I began taking thenf in May, '94. I have taken over a dozen boxes now and I feel perfectly well in every respect and feel that I am permanently cured. I could never sleep before, as the pains would come suddenly on me in the night and I would become numb. Many a time I've walked the floor in agony the entire night. 1 can sleep perfectly sound now, and my appetite is better than ever before, and I weigh mora than for manv years, I feci that I owe my life to the Pink Pills." . : -. ; C Kev.
