SHERMAN, September 13.-At / o'clock
to-day negro woman named Mary Brown
dropped dead on the sidewalk on south
Travis street. On investigation at the
courthouse proof was offered showing that
that she was poisoned by drinking from a
bottle of whiskey given her by q colored
Denison woman against whom she was to
ap pear as witness in trial. 1t was first
thought to be paralysis. She will be buried
by the county. The contents of the bottle
will be analysed, when we will know
further of the case.
Judge Binkley, president Of the Mer-
chants and Planters bank, has just re-
turned from New YORK city and while there
accidentally met George b. Greene, who
created such a sensation here few years
ago by wandering away in supposed in
sane condition. Subsequent develop
menis proved the Merchants and Planters
bank book-keeper defaulter TO the tune OF
5000. He was also city treasurer and a
leading light in the Baptist church. His
wife has been living here ever since under
the impression that he was either dead or
demented. Judge Binkley got sight Of
him in the mammoth grocery house Of
Thurber Bros, where he was book-keeper.
The Judge failed TO arrest him then and
there, and .Greene drew the balance due
him, packed his grip and skipped. He had
assumed no alias, but had married beauti-
full woman in New York, whom he left as
abruptly as wife No. 1. He was secretary

Mr.. Armstrong, the labor candidate
for governor, says he feels satisfied
with the result, as it shows just how
much the old parties care for the la
Dor party. He ia inclined to think
that Mr.. Howard, the candidate for
lieutenant governor, sold out to the
democrats, as charged by A. ]. Web
stsr, in an article published in the
Williamsburg Gazette last week. As
far as he is concerned personally, he
was not approached by either of the
parties, because he was deeply in
earnest, and was not the man to sell
out. However, he is inclined to think
the democratic wing of their party
saw there was an opportunity to elect
Pattison, and they decided at the last
moment to vut their ballots where
they would do the most good.
Mr.. Layton, Grand Secretary Of tbs
Knights of Labor, concluded that pol
itics and labor do not mix, and here
after he will oppose the nomination n
of labor tickets and urge the work
ingm.n to support the candidates on
the regular tickets who are known to
be their friends, and who can be de-
pended upon to look after their in
terests. He docs not think many oil
their men we're bought off, but when
the critical moment arrived they de-
cidsd to put their ballots whore they
would do the most good. He says
there will probably be no more labor
tickets in this State, but instead they
will vote for their friends on the 9TH
