Individual Records. 8 These flve bound volumes of Confed erate rolls and River's Roll of Honor, bound, have been kept in a special In the Adjutant General's office. These volumes, I take It for granted, are on hand In the place provided for them by myself when In office. But there were other valuable records turned over by me In 1899. There wars many original Confederate rolls and duplicate printed rolls. And, above all, there were about one hun dred war papers, most of them put by my action In typewritten form, and it is these valuable papers which I have been informed by Col. Tribble, the present commissioner of Confederate rolls, were not turned over to him, and Which I am further Informed by Col. Tribble have been mislaid or lost, since a thorough search in the State House lias failed to discover them. These war records were invaluable, since If lost they can, in many cases, never be restored. I collected them to use in my proposed sketches of each military organization had the General Assembly authorized the printing of the Confederate jolls under my edltorahfp, at was proposed and sanctioned In the House of Represen tatives, but defeated In the Senate.

' A IIIk Gun Hold. A letter from Beaufort to the News and Courier says recently there was a Government sale Of old Iron and metal, including the big pneumatic gun and gun carriage and old shells and other obsolete and useless articles abandon ed by the Government. The big gun Is fifty feet long and weighs about forty-flve or fifty tons, and the rest of the old iron and brass weigh thirty to forty tons more. There were only two bidders and the highest bid was for only about 1150, The bids were sent to Washington to be approved,. The ting'’bit women, while the body of tbe 1 was more than half filled with clergy men. There waa no presiding officer, Mr. Bryan being escorted to tbe plat form, where he was greeted with pro longed applause. He said in part: “Why have I flung away ambition? Why have I rejected ibis proffered greatness and been deaf to the en? treaties of those who talk only of ‘get ting together." I want to know what they are getting together for, whether to defend rights or to enter upon a course of pillage. , 0 “The trouble with our government today Is that it is too much Influenced In its operations by men whose only loyalty is loyalty to the money bags. Will It pay?’ has been substituted for ‘is It right,! and as a consequence our legislative assemblies, city, State and national, are been naming auction rooms In which .governmental privl> leges are krockeddown to tbe highest bidder. rS J^One evidence that our party waal honestly seeking to secure justice to tbe masses In 1896 and 1900, is to be found In the fact that our campaign funds were insignificant in bothcam^ patgns. Ir 1892 the Democratic par ty collected a large campaign fund from the corporations. 11 spent more than IJ,00< ,000 In tbe two States of New York and Indiana alone, and what was t ie result? The most pluto cratic administration this country has ever known. . We witnessed a sur render to organized and predatory wealth so aoject and so complete that seven years of exile from power have not entireiy removed the stain from the party. You ask why I am oppos ed to the reorganization of the Demo cratic party? because I want my party to define the rights of the peo ple; I want it to be the fearless Cham pion of their interests; I present the moral issue involved in public questions and to appeal to the public conscience. “When the next Democratic con vention undertakes to write a new-] platform, It will find the last one a model of clearness and consciseness and of Hiuare dealing; and I hope that the delegates to the convention will be lortrucU-d by the various States to endorse it: ’ ' / "And h(w about candidates? It Cjranlde of Oseodyt. Prussic add long has been supplied to be tbe most deadly poison, but now Laacelies Scott, of Little Ilford, Eng land, makes a startling statement. .. delays tbe substance known to sdeotisu as Cyanide of cacodyl is hun dreds, even thousands, of times moraJM^ poisonous than pure prussic add. As 1 ▼ be put It, "a mere wbiff of tbis deadly poison would kill a large roomful of people, and tbe vapor of three grains diffused into the air of Drury Lane Theatre would suffice to insure that not one of tbe audienoe or artiste In the theatre would leave it dive;” Fortunately for mankind this .pois on Is so deadly that it Is accordingly dangerous to handle, and the criminal who attempted to use it would in ail probability kill himself. It is a white powder which melts at 33 degrees and bolls at 140 degrees. When exposed to air It gives off a slight vapor, to in hale which is death. ; “f, knowing its properties, took every precaution and made it in open air," said Mr. Sbott, "yet in spite of my care, and I have been accustomed to dealing with such things all my life, some of the fumes must bavg es caped, for I was ill for a week after that experiment." A well known analvtical chemist when questioned on tnef subject was inclined to throw doubts on Mr. tt’s statements. / ' e know this substance. We know It Is a powerful poison," he says. "But I do 'not think there is any known substance of- which three grains would kill 3,000 persons.” Brjran Receive* Ovation. • A dispatch from Hanover, N. If., says tbe largest crowd that ever as sembled at a public meeting in tbis section of the State ^ssenabled in Col lege Hall Wednesday evening to' hear William Jennings Bryan. The audi ence embraced many prominent New Hampshire politicians and delegations from all tbe schools and academies in tbis section. Every seat in the ^ spacious hall was taktnr, anth many were unable tbe gain admission. The programme called for a banquet to the noted visitor preceding tbe lec ture, and covers were laid for prom inent visitors and the adnalnlatra- Tion offloerr of Dartmouth College, but Colonel Bryan was delayed by t * railroad accident and failed to arrive In time for it. “Value of an Ideal" was the .title of Bryan’s lecture. Touching upon lde l fo'tcies, he feared the political idea Of today was one does not nu tter much what the name-}-of corruption. “In Delaware,” be of the presilentlal candidate is, but it does mattei what he stands for, and in what direction he is going to lead the party. Let.the Republican party be challeng-xi to meet the moral issue presented -this is Democratic, this is patriotic* Mr. Bryan departed frequently from the text of the address as previously given out. Speaking of the confer ring of government favors on great corporations, he said: “1 want to call the attention of tbe clergy to this and I want to ask them what they are doing to warn their congregations of the degredation of the moral senses which is now going on. 'L. “1 don't want to seem to rebuke the ministers for their past lapses of oonduoto But I want to have their attention called to the oorruptlpn ex isting in high places. Tbese debasers of tbe moral sense have grown more and more defiant of I the people.” x THE FATAL FALL age to aft Cat to the Bottom of a Mine uaea Fifteen Death*. At Victor, Col, by the falling of & cage Monday in the Stratton Inde? pend^pce mine located near the cen tre olthe city. 15 men are dead and one other feverely Injured. ] In the main shaft 16 men were being hoisted In a cage from tbe sixth, seventh and eighth levels. When the cage reached the surface the engineer, for some un explained reason, wus unable to stop the engine and the cage yritb Its load of human freight was drawn up Into the gallows frame where it became lodged temporarily, Tbe strain* on Ibe cable finally caused it to part, and the cage released, shot down the shaft with terriffic speed. Two of the oc- cupants, L P. Jackson and James Bullbek, ha I become entangled in the timber rods near the top of the gal lows frame. Jackson was crushed to death by the sheave wheel, while Bull bek had a marvelous, escape from death, but received painful injuries before belrg rescued. The other 14 men Were Bufleff to death down the 1,500 foot shaft. As soon u possible the shift boss and a number of miners went down the mine through another compart ment of the shaft. They found 14 dead, the bodies scattered, in different directions. Arms and bodies bad been torn, heads crushed and clothing strip ped from tbe victims. From the 700 foot level to the bottom the shaft was spattered with blood. The bottom of tbe shaft stands In in 25 feet oi Water and into tbis the cage phingei, carrying some of tbe men into the water with it. Frank Gelles, engineer in charge, surrender ed himself to tbe military offlcera In tbe district and was locked up. He would not talk. Tbe militia has tak en charge o( the mine and a rigid ex- amluatlon v/IU be made. ^ : A Fatal Fall. Qharles Holcombe, a nine year old lad of Ashvllle N. C., died Saturday night as tbe result of an injury reoehr- ed while out skating two weeks ago. Young Holcombe, in company with numerous others, weotto tbe ponds and lakes about Asheville during the extreme cold weatb# the first of Jan uary, and while skating he fell, strik- movtng of tbe big gun and theother effete castings will be a Herculean Job, as it is in a most difficult and in- approaoiiable spot. It is supposed by some citizens to purchase the Long Tom and erect it perpendicularly on the bluff In Beaufort, with the amount expended in erecting it and the price to be paid for its purchase' engraved upon it as an bistorioal relic. Tbe gun is said to have ooetr 640,000 and walgbs fifty tons. ifciaa on the ioe. The boy rendered untonsoleos by the fall, and was taken to his bomb, where he has lain in the same condition until Sat urday, when death ensued.
