Death OF the Last Survivor of the Sur.
veylng Party that First Penetrated
the North. " eSterN Territory.

ICnaTlottsVlic \Nd') bisputch, Jan. 81
Capt. Tom Lewis, nearly ninety
years old, was found frozen to death
last night in the public road in Alber-
marie county. He was farming in a
small way in the county, and it is sup
posed that he had gone out to cut some
wood. Capt. Lewis had led an event
full life, and was famous as the last sur
vivor of the Lewis 4; Clarke expedi-
ton to explore the Missouri river.
Merriwether Lewis, the Oldest son
of Mrs. Marks, of Locust Hill, by her
former marriage with Col. William
Lewis, of the revolutionary army, was
private secretary to President Jetfer-
son shortly after the purchase of the
Louisiana territory, and was selected
to explore that territory. He had
permission from the President of sell
lecting his aid and companion, and he
chose Lieut.. Clark, of the regular army.
The company was organized with about
thirty private soldiers and commanded
by Capts. Lewis and Clark. Capt.
Lewis also took along one of his slaves,
II youth of II, named Tom. Tom was
remarkably black, and neither comely
in person nor attractive in manner.
Tom. was Capt Lewis favorite body
servant, and stuck by his master to the
last. Capt. Lewis often told how Tom
had saved his life after the expedition
had crossed the Rocky mountains, and
wasabout to descend the Columbia river.
Lewis was in the wilderness with no
companion save Tom, who had been
christened hy the soldiers "Capt. Tom
Lewis" and which name stuck to him
to the day of his death. The two
were attacked by three Indians from
hostile tribes then in that country.
Capt. Lewis was seriously injured in
the thigh. He sent. the only ball in
his rife through the lead Of one Of his
assailants. The other two rushed ON
him and would have slain him had not
Tom hurled one insensible to the
ground, and with the butt end of the
gun of his PROSTATE master Drained the
other. He was herculean in strength.
He went through all the trials and
hardships Of that great expedition with
out flinching.
The Lewis and Clark expedition
terminated in 1906. Captain Lewis
came to his mothers home, near Joy
depot, in Albermarle county, and went
thence to St. Louis, the capital OF
Missouri territory of which he was
then governor. On his return he
stopped for the night at little inn
on the roadside somewhere in Ten
nessce. In the morning he was found
dead in his room with his throat cut,
whether by another for some unac-
countable purpose or by himself re-
mains mystery to this day. Tom
was his body servant then, and knew
more about this mystery than any
one else, but he always shook his
head when asked and said, "This is \
matter the less talked about the bet
ter" On the death of his old master
Tom returned to Albermarle county,
and with savings bought small
farm, which he occupied on the day
of his death. 1t is supposed that from
feeblemess and exhaustion he fell in
the road, and not being able to rise,
was frozen to death. His death ends
the list of survivors of the historic ex-
pedition.

They Wouldn't Fight That Way

About the commencement of the war,
Judge Rice made speech in south
Alabama, in which he said that the
Southern soldiers could whip the Yan>
KEGS with pop>guns. Since the war he
CHANGED to make another speech at
the same place.
A big, double iointed fellow was pres

former speech, and being in no anna

Sam.
Rolling up his sleeves and popping
his fist into the palm of his hand, he
propounded the fearful question:
"Say, Sam Rice. didn't you make a
speech here in 1872
II did," said Sam.
'tAnd didn't you say we could whip
the Yankees with pop gnns?"
Certainly I did; but the rascals
wouldn't fight us that way.

zgtin Goo evening on return Of the miners to
camp there was q terrible cutlery from one Of

to the place whence the cry issued, and found
q miner bending over his mate, who, having
been sick, had not gone out that day. The
sick man WAS dead, with 9 dagger IN mig

and flfied of itscontents. The body was still
WARM, showing that the deed had but recently
been perpetrated. The miners Immediately
scattered In pursuit Of the murderer or muir

in-one Of the most svillainous-look char

with gold, which was identified by the sur.

The Greenback Convention.

The State Convention Of the Wisconsin
National Greenback party was called to or
der at Turner Hall Tuesday afternoon. Col.
Reuben May, of Vernon, was chosen chair
man and Mark n. Barnum, of Marathon,
Secretary. T he committee op CIR ede ntials
reported 80 delegates, although not more
than IS we're personally present. Thirty
counties were represented wholly, or in
part, leaving 80 counties of the State unre-
presented After the usual preliminaries
and some speech making, the best speech of
the convention being delivered by Brick
Pomeroy.a platform of principles was adopt
ed, consisting of the wild and extreme theo.
ries that usually animate the action of the
Greenback advocates. The platform de-
mands the immediate calling in and pa "
ment of all United States Bonds and that
the Government never issue another bond
of any kind or class. The abolition of the
banking system and prohibition of all
banks of issue whether state or national.
Unlimited coinage of silver snd gold in le-
gal tender money of the United States.
Without much trouble the convention was
able to nominate the following state ticket:
For Governor-Reuben May, Vernon.
Lieut. Governor-W. L. Utley, Racine.
Secretary State-G. w. Lee, Grant.
Treas.-Peter A. Grifiths, Winnebago.
Att. Gen.-Geo. B Goodwin, Milwaukee.
perintendent Public Instruction--W H
Searles, Marathon.
Some dlssa tisfaction was expressed that
the Germans were not represented on the
ticket, but On the whole the nominees were
we'll received and will undoubtedly be given
the full support of the G reenback strength
throughout the state. The friends of the
ticket claim for it at leas. 4O, 900 votes this
fall. The convention set its face against
any fusion whatever with either of the
other parties in the coming election and
seemed determined to sink or swim alone
and unhampered. The nominee for Cover
