te?7 Now York in the evening papers saying
that ex-Secretary Whitney was wavering
on his decision as to whether ho
should accept the chairmanship of tho
Democratic national committee.

Cleveland said very plainly that Mr.
Whitney's acceptance was demanded by
the unanimous sentiment of the party.
Mr. Cleveland's mail was filled with
letters from prominent men in all parts
of the country, in which Mr. Whitney's
selection was referred to as the thing to
be desired above all othor considera.tions.
While he did not think he ought to
nrgo Mr. Whitney to do anything which

t'rlmo In Atlanta.
Atlanta, July 1<?. Peter Duniela, the
! twice convicted murderer of ttylviu Lyle,
has expiated the crime on the gullows
j in Fulton county jail.
The execution was superintended by
Sheriff J. W. Morrow, and the great
care which had l>cen taken to have the
death of the doomed man as painless
and effectivo as possible, was evidenced
by the <piick and successful work of the
ofileors.
The crimo for which Daniels was
1 executed was committed in Atlanta on
the night of August 5, 1801. Sylvia
Lyle, wijtli whom he had boon living,
was shot down in cold blood on the
streets.
Ed Wright, a uegro, who was walk
mg along the street in front of the woman,
was also shot in the side bv the
assassin who ran off immediately after
the shooting. Wright made his way as
quickly as he could to a physician and |
his wound was dressed and lie was soon

that fixed tho crime on Peter Daniels.
He said that he was on his way to
church, an 1 while: walking down Harris
street, lie hoard voices behind him?one
being that <>f Sylvia Lylo, who had followed
him down the street for several
blocks, and tho other was that of l'oter
Daniels.
Ho heard Peter ask this woman why
she did not slon when he called her, and
tho woman replied that she would have
him arrested il ho did not go away.
He next felt a bullet ploughing
through his hotly, and heard tho negro
woman scream. Two shots had been i
fired.
1'he woman died in a few minutes
and was never able to toll who shot
her. I'pon Wright's story Peter was
arrested, and tho coroner's jury charged
{ him with murder.
11 Im 1'irM sentence.
Ho was tried in t^e superior court before
Judge Kichurd II. Clark September
2H, 181>1. and found guilty, and sentenced
t ha hnt his case was appealed
and his hanging \va postponed.
The supreme court affirmed tho decision
and tho negro vas again : onteuood to
hang.
Another -ffort was mad to get a new
I trial, this time on th plea of now found
testimony f< r the defen ;e, aud Judge
Clark granted the motion.
A second t ime a jury found him guilty,
and he was given his final sentence?to
bo executed July 15.
Since then Peter has made several efj
forts to have his sentence commuted to
| that ot lite imprisonment.
Ilis last appeal was sent to Governor
, Northern several weeks ago. It was a
] strong one. Many of tho prominent
; citizens of tho eily asked the governor
| to exercise his power and sent! tlie negro
to tho penitentiary for life.
After a careful consideration of tho
i case tho governor declined to do so.
Notwithstanding ho hns been twice
convicted, and it seems that every effort
was made to got at the truth of tho
matter, and if there was any doubt as
to tho guilt of the negro to give him tho
benefit of it, yet he protested his innocenco
to the last, and there are many
people in Atlanta who believe an inno
cent man has boon hung.

in convention hero. Ho was placed in
nomination by Hon. Hob Lewis of Hancock,
and the nomination was seconded
by A. K. Sturgis of McDuflie, and also
by several dolegutes from other counties.
The meeting was organized by electing
Hon. Stovo Jordan of Washington
county, permanent chairman, and Mr.
George Kelly of Jefferson, permanent
secretary.
After the nomination, Hon. Boy kit*
Wright, the silver-tongued solicitor of
the Augusta circuit, was culled for
with such enthusiasm that ho came
forth and made one of the most powerful
and conservative Democratic
speeches over heard in this county.
Quite a dramatic incidont took place
during his speech. In one of his earnest
and eloquent appeals to those who had
gone off after new doctrines, and to the
colored people to vote for the grand,
good and Christian gentleman, Major
Black, a colored preacher highly esteemed
in this county, rose from his seat and
stated that he was with the Democrats
in this tight, and, amid great cheering,
extended his hand, which was grasped
by the speaker. It was a scene long to
bo romembored.
The Democratic platform adopted at .
Chicago was unanimously endorsed, as

STEVENSON IN NORTH CAROLINA.
He Will Meet with tlio Uuteri'lllori Home
Time In September.
Cii ari/>ttk, July 16. Some weeks
ago it was stipes ted that a groat political
rally bo held in Charlotte some time
in September, and that Hon. Adlai E.
Stevenson, the Democratic nominee for
ice president, be invited to address it.
The suggestion was acted upon at once, j
and n letter of invitation was dispatched
to Mr. Stevenson. Mr. Charles W. Tiilett
received a reply from Mr. Stevenson.
It was written at Bloomingtoii,
111., on tho 11th. In his letter Mr. Stevenson
says thut it would givo him pleasure
to visit Charlotte, but ho is not now
able to sot an exact date for his visit.
He further acknowledges his indebtednoss
to tho North Carolina delegation in
the Chicago convoution. Mr. Stovenson
savs further that ho will write again at
a later date more definitely. It is quite
safe to say that Mr. Stevenson will lie
in Charlotte in September, and then tlte
citizens of this city will havo the greatest
political rally ever known in tho
history of the Queen City.

Wkst Point, July 14. Devastation
ami distress is the result of the ^r?i?t

The Tom Bi^bee has Ifft its
banks ami the country is flooded, de
stroying thousands of ncrcs of fine cotton
and corn and sweeping away all tlwi
bridges orect??<l since the April floods.
Nearly all the cotton in this section is a
total loss. The othor orojts fare just us
badlv. The damage will not fall short
of *400.000.
Hundreds of families ure on the verge
of starvation, and appeals for help are
coining in almost hourly. Au urgent
uppeul has cotne from Wuverly, five
inilos east, where 4,000 acres of caops ;
are under water.
Houses were washed away and the
negroes are sturving. Nearly a ear load
of provisions will be shipped at once.
' Clay county will suffer almost u total
loss of crops this year. In Noxulxte
county tlie crojw were finer than have
boon known in years, but the destruc
uon mere ih hh great as here.
Between Brooksville and Scoolm, aeventy-five
miles, and for miles on each
side of the Mobile and Ohio railroad,t he j
cotton is entirely drowned out, and only
the tops of the plat t Can be seen. Appeals
for help from tho starving people
cotno in, and tho demand cannot be satisfied.
This country lias never known

Ho was born in Stockbridgo, Mass.,
November 50, IS)9. After receiving a
/air education in* his native place, ho
was placed in a counting hou-o in Now
York city, whore ho developed a eapaci
ty for business which, in a few years,
placed him at the head of a large establishment.
He vas about 95 yeai of ago when
his attention was tirst directs 1 to the
subject of ocouuholography. In a short
time tills attention to >k a practical turn,
when ho procured from the legislature
of Now l eundl.md and thence to Eu- ,
rope.
Ho devoted himselt with exemplary
energy to the accomplishment of this
great scheme, which involved, as its initial
undertaking, the providing New
Fouudland with tho in -at. of tele- j
graphic coinmunicat ion. The two attempts
to lay tie- submarine cable between
Cftpo Kay and Cupo Breton fol
lowed?tlio second a success.
His labors at this time in\ olved nioro
than fifty passages across tin Atlantic,
and were rewarded with the acknowl
cugcmcms oi his lollosv clti i.-, Liking
the form of a gold medal v ?t?-.I to him j
and Homo of his fellow worker--hy the i
congress of the United States.
Abroad, his services in this connee
tk>n have boon flatteringly recognized,
including tho bestowal of tho grand
modal by tlio exposition of Paris.
A vorv queer episode in Mr. Field's
life was his orection of a monument to
Major John Andre, which furuished
material for many good jokes to tho
nowspaiHir men and a target for patri- 1
ofcs to practice on with missle stones.
Tho lirst monument was soon destroyed
(by Irish laborers in tho vicinity, it is
said), and tho second was buttered to ,
pieces by expertstono throwers.
Recent events are familiar to tho general
reader. Mr. Field's wife died Nov.
#1, 1891, and goon after the firm in :
which ids son, I'M ward M., was a lend- j
ing member, went to wreck. Much ol
the futher's fortune was swept away,
and the son is left a stranded wreck in a
mad house.

Paris, July 13.?When Iiavachol, the
anarchist, was awakened at 3 a iu. and
told to prepare for his execution, ho was (
not in tho least concerned.
He dressed himself carefully without
assistance. When ho was asked if ho !
had any wish to express ho replied that
he wished to address t.ho crowd, and j
was disappointed by tho reply that
theto would bo no crowd. Whon tho
prison chaplain asked if the prisoner
wished to soe him, Ravnchol replied : j
" I have no need for your services. 1 j
I....I ...... "

Notwithstanding tins answer, tlio '
chaplain approached Ravaciiol, saying : ,
"1 come to bring to you for the last !
time the consolation of religion, and to
put bofore you the imago of Christ,
whoso law you disregard. "
"I don't care a rap for your religion,"
said Ruvaclial. "1 don't want to see
your crucifix. If you show it to mo, 1
will spit upon it. You are like all of
your people who encourage superstition
and try to make people Ixdievo what '
you cannot prove."
Itavachol jibed the executioner and
his assistants while they prepared him
for the block/ Turning to the chaplain j
he said:
"Religion! What folly! How the
world is besotted!"
The execut ioner hero took hold of him
and pushed him toward and into a van ,
that was in waiting, which at once }
started for tlio guillotine.
A crowd that was behind a cordon of
soldiers, membors of which had been uproarious
during the time of waiting, bocame
hushed and silent the instant tlio
van, hearing Ravachol, appeared. Amid
tlio silence tlio imprecations and blasphemous

So rapidly did tlio oxecutioners work

when it wan iound that, instead of oo- i
cupying tlio works ami grounds of the '
Carnegie company, they demnod it necessary
to place tho whole town under 1
military surveilanco. But there was 1
not a single demonstration of uuy kind
to show t his disap|>oiuttu?ut.
Tho citizens acquiesced an gracefully
as it was possible for them to do, and
the stl ikera were quiet and ordorly. It 1
was a complete submission to tho law.
Tho Fifteenth, Eighteenth and fcjixteonth
regiments were the corps pushdd
into Homestead. Tho Fourteenth and
Tenth had, a half hour previously, take u
possession on tho opposite bank of tho
]\1 oiitwtn iuwt iii?r^uu ?

planted, commanding tho whole of iho
town. Had there boon any resistance
to tho entrance of tbo troops, tho can- |
non on tbo other side of tbo rn'or could ]
by themselves havo niado the striker '
position untenable.
As soon as General Snowden had os- i
iablished Ins headquarters in a schoolhouse
on tbo hill overlooking the iron <
works ho was waited upon by a com- 1
initteo consisting of O'Doiinell, Coon,
Crawford, Schuckmuti and Clifford,
representing the Amalgamated ; -oeia- 1

Mr. Coon was spokesman, and coining 1
up to General Snowden, he stated that '
ho represented the association and citizens;
that on their part lie welcomed , |
the troops to tlio town, and ho olfered
the co operation of tho citizens in pro- , .
serving order.
General Snowden said: "I thank you
for your welcome, but I do not need
ypur co-operation. The only way that
good citizens can co-< peiate with us is
tO go peaceably IkboUt their business. i
Mr. Coon said: "The citizens wisli to
know at what time they may give you
a public reception. " h
\V?i Submit to 1114* Shi'iilt.
General Bnowdon repli id . I can uc* ,
cept no reception, Hir; it would be most
improper. I thank you foi y ur courtesy,
but a formal welcome is not needed.
It would be an amazing t hing if I
tho National Guard, of Pennsylvania 1
wasn't welcome in any part of lVnnsylnia.
"
Mr. O'Donnell here took nr? the con
vorsation, ami began : i)n tho purl of 1
tho Amalgamated unsocial ion, 1 wish to
say that, ufter suffering an attack from
illegal authority, wo are glad to have ,
tho legal authority of tho stato here. "
" 1 do not reeognizo your Association,
sir;" General Suowdon replied. "1 rocognizo

law and order, and they aro already restored.

"But wo wish to submit," Mr. O'Don- | J
noil began, when tho general cut him !
short, saying : j1
" Then, sir, submit to tho gentleman
behind you." ;
Mr. O'Dotmell whirled around and
saw Sheriff* McCloary standing in the j j
group. "I do submit, to him," he said. !
"Wo havo ncv? r questioned tho sheriff's ! ;
order."
"Nil, Vuii linvn Not."
Tho general smiled rathor sarenHtically
and sai ' 1 am glad to hear it.
But you must cudorstund our position.
We are hero to preserve the pence. Wo
represent tho < xeoutive arm of tho stat
of Pennsylvania and 1 have nothing to
Buy to you further than thut the sheriff
must be obeyed."
"lint we have obeyod tho sheriff,"
Mr. O'Donnell said, haven't wo, Mr.
McCleary?"
"No, you have not," said tho aherifT;
"you refused to lot my deputies ontor
the works. "
There wus some further tulk of tho
sort hi which General Snowdou took no
part, and tho conference ended in an
awkward flilence, widoh was linully
broken by Mr. (/Donnell, who said:
"Well, I believe that we have nothing
farther to say."
T'ne genoral liowod in silonce and the 1 1
committee departed for headquarters
where a very stormy discussion followed
on tho ground taken by the uuthori
ties.
General 8nowden said after the coin- (
mittoe had left that thero wns to bo 110 (
such thing as formally taking posse sion
of tlio works or tho town. "As soon as
we t amo into town were in posse sion
and law and order wore restored. That i
is all thero is of it. Inm not going tohav<>
any reception or any ceromonic- of my 1
sort. Tho mill property is already in '
tho hands of tho Carnegie company. I
understand that Mr. Childs is now in
the works. Hut witJi all tiiat we have
nothing to do. Wo aro hero to support
the sheriff in tho execution of his duties,
and tlio presence of troops was enough
to settle the whole question. Wo will ;
bo horo for sevoral days and will take
advantages of the occasion to havo the
anrfual inspection." i
"How many troops have you here?"
"Five thousand two hundred and lifty !

The strikers' guards have been witn- <
drawn from about tho mill. Thei
placea are being filled by a provost <
patrol, which guards all tho streets ! J
leading to tho null and about it. Representatives
of the company, led by Mr. <
Otis Childs, took possession about 10
o'clock, but so quietly was this done
that their presence was riot suspected <
until afternoon. ,
No rations had been provided for tho
soldiers, and they accordingly wore al- ]
lowed to go into town, as they pleased, <
to get tboir meals. The result was that
everybody?soldiers and strikers -did a 1
groat deal too much drinking.
Every saloon was crowded to its full
capacity and everybody was crowding
himself to his fullest capacity. The re- i
biilt was that more drunken men were,,,
to be seen on tho streets than were visi
ble altogether in the past week. When I
it beCjuno evident that tho soldiers wore
drinking patrols were detailed to arrest
them, and in n short time nearly all the
militiamen weio hack in camp. Tho
ovening has closed more quietly thau 1
any had any right to expect, and while (
the stroets were still full at 10 o'clock,
tho crowd wus drifting homeward.

A Novel Burglar AlarmI
had gone to spend a few day with
ii friend in the country and, womanlike,
we sat up rather late the first
evening talking. The servants had
retired to the upper regions, and
111 Ut l u xir/\ ?ort?A ??!"?? 4" " 1 *"
i?n 11 \j nun; iiuvuu iu cui)ur?iu l
was surprised to see my friend take
up two large newspapers with tho
Remark: "I must go and set my
l>urglaralarm for tho night." Wonilering
what tho papers could have to
ilo with it I followed her into tho
hall ami watched her spread one on
the stairs ami another across tho hall
lloor. "Now wo can sleep in peaco;
no one could either jump over or
walk over those newspapers'without
making a noise, nor could U?cy even
ittempt to fold them up without
rousing tho houso. It may not seem
t very safe trap, hut when every;u
utlll n,? ? e

is <| ui to sufficient to awaken one. I
have shut up tho cat so that there
can bo no false alarm," she concluled,
and after having walked two or
threo times across the newspapers- 1
was quite satisfied that the idea was
not half bad,
Vnothor ingenious women has invented
another trap, not for burglars,
but for something almost as bad ?
bores. A "boro bell" is arranged in
some convenient spot on the lloor,
usually near the hostess' favorite
chair, and when the most has talked
long enough, or the clock gives warning
that the hour of an appointment
is approaching then t lie victim's foot
juicily seeks the bell. A servant,
who of course has received the proper
instructions, enters with a telegram
or an important message, which
must ho attended to at once. The
eel lor naturally takes the hint, and
the vietim is saved.

ilog ft woke and ran among tho cattlc,
stampeding them. One steer
dashed into tho hnrch, carrying
the light green baizo dooi* on Ins
horns. He rushed up the aisle, bcl- *
lowing wildly and throwing the
worshipers hito consternation. Il?
halted before ho reached the pulpit
and stood gazing at tho pastor who, i Sifl
on its entrance, had naturally stopped
his discourse. Kvcry member ^
of the church seized the opportunity
to escape, and they rushed out, not
heeding tho admonition of tho pastor
to remain. The pastor, left alone,
jumped from the pulpit and tried
to drive the steer out. Hut lie did
not, succeu. iiad lie not sought
refuge in a pew vfhere the s?eer
could not roach him the infuriated
animal would have made short work
of him. Ho was compelled to sit
perched on tho hack of a pew in at
very undignified position and watch
the steer demolish tho church property.
When the animal became
tired he trotted ont, the pastor do
cended from his perch, re-entered
tho pulpit, and, the congregation
returning, took up his sermon at tno
point where it was so rudely in?orrupted.
