Thompson Withdraws from the Race for
Auditor. but No Choice Yet Made.
JACKSON, MISS, Aug. 2l,-This was the
third day of the Democratic State conven-
tiOn. The deadlock of Yesterday for
Auditor was eclipsed to-day. The last
vote stands: Harper so, Miller 6S, Thomp-
son A, Nash 90, Bell IA. There is no
prospect OF an early termination unless an
outsider is brought in, and several dark
horses are at hand. The Committee
on Resolutions reported to-day,
recommending that legislation for rail-
road supervision be put into practical ef-
feet; that Confederate soldiers, disabled
and INDECENT. be pensioned by the State
Legislature, and recommending the pas
sage by Congress of the bill known as the
Blair educational bill.
A state executive committee was ap-
pointed. of which d. P. Porter was made
Chairman and j. l.. Power Secretary and
Treasurer.
At $50 O'Clock this evening the name
of MIR. Thompson was withdrawn and
Mr. Miller was leading with 90 votes.
The convention has remained in session
for twelve hours and will hardly adjourn
tonight, as a hard fight for Superintend-
ent of Education is yet to be made.

OLD WAR SHIPS BURNED.
THE VESSELS CONDEMNED AND
BEING BROKEN UP.

The Colorado, ," minnesota" "susque-
hanna,'' Congress, ""South Carolina"
and "IOwa'' and Two SOhOOners the
Craft-The Loss Fully S125, ,OOO-Other
Property Destroyed by Fire.
NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-A large fire,
causing loss of 100000, broke out on
board the Colorado, lying of Plum Beach,
near Port Washington, l.. l., tonight.
The flames spread from the Colorado to
the following ships, all of which were
burned to the waters edge and sunk
Minnesota, Susquehanna, Congress, South
Carolina, Iowa, Lolita Grant, and Fair
Play. All with the exception of the last
TWO belonged to the United States
navy. They had been con-
demned and were bought from
the government by Stannard & Co., who
were TO break them u p for the old iron and
planks they could get out of them. The
fire broke out on the forward deck OF the
Colorado, where men were at work tear
ing up the panks to get the iron spikes.
On the right of the Colorado was the Sus-
quehanna, to which the flames spread
rapidly and before either it or the Colora-
do could be towed out the flames had
spread to the other boat.
BURNED LIKE TINDER.
They all burned like tinder, and the sky
was red for miles around. The heat was
30 intense that it was impossible to go
anywhere near the burning ships. The
fire burned 30 fiercely that inside of three
hours nothing was left of the vessels
but few charred timbers.
The hulls sank at once to the
bottom. The Colorado was the first to 90
under. AS the waters closed over her one
of the masts of the Minnesota toppled
over on the Congress, and they sank
together. The Susquehanna burst loose
from her moorings, and at one time 1t
looked serious for the fishing craft anchor
ed in her vicinity.
GOING TO THE BOTTOM.
She floated about fifty Yards from shore
and then keeled over and sank, the South
Carolina and Iowa following her to the
bottom in short time but be-
fore going down the flames spread
from the Iowa to the Lotta
! Grant and Fair Play, two schooners
| anchored near shore, and they too sank
Who the owners of the schooners were
could not be learned, as their crews be-
| came so mixed up in the crowd of specta-
tors that they could not be found.
THE LOSSES.
Mr.. Stannard said that the loss TO him
was not less than 100000, as it was only
for the iron in the vessels that he bought
them. Had the vessels been serviceable
the loss would have footed up millions.
An attempt will be made to raise tie hulls.
| The loss on the schooners, 1t is said, will
not be less than S25,0.0.

COunterRcted by n Phy sician-H HOrrible
Death of ~ Negro Lad who was Stealing
Ride-Return of "A Reformed Negro
from n Convict Camp.
MACON, GA, Aug. 21.-Mrs. Davidson,
wife of 7. j. Davidson, a merchant doing
business on Fourth street, attempted sui
eide last night by taking two bottles Of
laudanum. A physician was summoned
and the lady's life was saved. No cause
is assigned for the rash deed.
ABOY KILLED BY CARS.
When freight train No. 10, which left
this city at O'Clock last night, pulled
out, small negro boy, apparently about
fifteen years old, crawled under a car and
hid himselton the brakes, evidently with
the intention of stealing ride to Savan-
nah. When the train arrived atMillen In
the early hours of to-day, while side
tracking car, cry of pain
was heard. The engineer investigated
the affair and found the negro boy living
on the rails, with both legs completely
msehed off. His body was on one side OF
the rails and bis legs on the other. He
suffered terribly until death came, in
about fifteen minutes, and relieved him
from his pain. AS soon as the accident
happened. Mr. HOge, master of the train
service, was informed by wire, and he
made every effort to locate the boys
parents, but failed, He was buried at
Millen, at 4 O'Clock this afternoon, at the
expense OF the road.
OUT OF A CONVICT CAMP.
The NEWS representative ran across
negro at the Union passenger depot this
morning recurring to his home in Wilkin-
son county, after an absence of nearly
ten years. The negro gave his name as
Reese Brazell, and is apparently about q
years old. Nine years ago the coming
winter in WilkinsoncOunty a negro ma med
Peck Bell was taken away from his home
at night, carried to a creek near by,
stone tied to his neck and thrown into the
water and left to die.
SAVED BY ROOT.
He caught hold of a root TO a tree, and
after his wOud-be murderers left pulled
himself out and made his way to Irwin
ton, where he told his story. Reese
BraZell, his father and brother and seven
others were arrested, tried and convicted
mainly on the evidence OF Bell. and sent
to the penitentiary for ten years. Out of
the ten sent TO the penitentiary all have
died but four, including the father and
brother of the negro. He lost an eve from
an accidental blow.
TURNED OVER NEW LEAF.
He was learned the blacksmith trade,
and by his faithfulness and good beha-
viOr had his sentence remitted eighteen
months. He is now on his way to his
old home, where he played when a boy.
He saws that he was treated very kindly,
and he intends TO live useful life here
after. Judge w. f. Cannon, OF Macon,
recognized Reese, and says that what he
(Reese) says, is true. The negro has
always protested his innocence.

SPANISH INDIGNATION.
Fears That the People of Madrid VIII
Attack the German Embassy.

Attack the German Embassy.
MADRID, Aug. 21.--The reply of Ger
many to Spain's protest in reference to
the formers annexation of the Caroline
Islands, has been received by the govern
ment here. 1t is couched in friendly
terms, and in it the German government
offers to submit the claim of Spain to
the Carolines to a fair examination.
1t is reported here that two
Spanish war ships have occupied
Yap, the chief island of the Caroline
group. The feeling in Madrid against
Germany because OF her assumption OF
possession OF these islands is SO bitter as
to cause alarm. AT a meeting OF the
Geographical Society last night various
members made speeches, violently de-
nouncing the action OF Germany. The
remarks were received with applause.
Fears are entertained that a hostile
demonstration will be made against the
German embassy, and in consequence a
body of policemen has been detailed to
guard that building.
THE IRRITATION INCREASING HOURLY,
The irritation against Germany increases
hourly. The official press is more indig-
nant over the seizure of the Caroline Is
lands than the opposition press. The
newspapers generally advocate reprisals.
1t is semi-otficially stated that the gov
ernments intend to rupture the CONNER
cial and diplomatic relations existing be-
tween Spain and Germany, unless Ger
many abandOns her claim to the Caro-
lines. A patriotic demonstration against
Germany because of her action in cOnnec-
tion with this matter will be held here
next Sunday.
SPANS AFRICAN SOCIETY.
Senior Carvajal, in an address before the
Spanish-Atrican society today, denounced
Germany for trespassing upon Spanish
rights. The society has decided to re-
assemble and pass resolutions demanding
that Spain take energetic action against
Germany's occupation of the Caroline
Islands. Prince Blsmarck's reply TO the
protest is considered evasive and unsatis-
factory although he processes to be will
ling to submit Spain's claims to arbitra-
tors.
ALFONSO ENTREATs THE EMPEROR.
King Alfonso has instructed the Span
ish Ambassador at London to proceed to
Berlin, and entreat the Emperor William
to delay occupation Of the Caroline
islands. The King, it is said, fears that
he will be depOsed by his subjects.

RUSSIANS AND AFGHANs.
An Advance by the Troopers Nearly
Precipitates a Bloody Battle.

An Advance by the Troopers Nearly
Precipitates Bloody Battle.
LONDON, Aug. 21.-A dispatch sent to-
day from Meshed, Persia, near the Afghan
frontier states that a collision between
the Russian and Afghan posts nearly oc-
cured on Aug. 10 at Karatepe, eighteen
miles from Claimant Bald. Some Russian
troops, the dispatch says, approached Kar-
atepe and the Afghan troops there stood
TO their arms. A Russian officer, when
he saw this, ordered his troopers to I'M
sling their carbines, and he was shot and
severely wounded by the accidental dis
charge OF one Of the weapons.
DANGEROUS EXCITEMENT.
Before the exact nature Of this accident
was ascer tanned there was considerable
excitement and confusion, which, how
ever, subsided as soon as the truth was
made known. The Afghans then detained
the Russians until they received orders
from Herat TO let them 90. During their
detention the Afghans treated the
wounded Russian officer with great kind
ness, bandaged his wound and sent him
back to the Russian lines. A hurried in
vestigRtiOn of the occurrence was made
on both sides. The Russian commander
exonerated the Aighans and promised
that the troopers should not again advance
beyond Claimant Bald.
Russia is rapidly pushing her railway
extension in the direction Of India.
AN AGREEMENT REACHED.
Lord Salisbury and NJ. De Giers have
reached a definite agreement with regard
10 the Afghan frontier question. A pro-
tocol embodying its settlement has been
drafted and sent to st. Petersburg, and it
is expected that the signatures will be ex-
charged next week.

A PoLICEMAN MURpERED.
He is Stabbed in the Throat by q Negro
Who Had Insulted q Lady.


NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Policeman James
North, of the First precinct, was killed
tonight by negro at Broadway and
Wall street. The name of the negro is
Samuel Booker. BE is the janitor of a
building in Nassau street. The negro
was arrested. Officer North had onl y
been on the force since July 6 last.
Officer North had been talking to a
Young woman who was about to sail. He
had known her in the old country and she
came to bid him good-by. He stepped a
few PAGES from her TO speak to the janitor
when the negro approached the lady and
insulted her. She called to the officer. He
ordered Booker away, but he refused to
move.
THE INSULT AVENGED.
The officer then struck him in the face
and pushed him along. The young
woman then walked on and passed the
negro, but he did not mOlest her this time.
When about block away she heard
North cry out: E'pm stabbed" The
janitor stated that the police
officer was leisurely walking along when
the negro suddenly confronted him. No
conversation took place between them,
but the negro made two lunges at
the officers throat. The latter staggered
and with an effort kept his feet.
TRYING TO STOP THE BLOOD.
He ran into another street, tearing off
his necktie and collar and endeavoring to
stop the blood which spurted from his
throat. A few citizens tried to succor
him, but he shook them off and ran into
the arms of another police officer, with an
exclamation that he could not go any
further. He sank to the ground. He
still retained his grasp on his throat,
from which the blood poured in torrents.
BEYOND MEDICAL AID.
A hurried call for an ambulance
brought two, but the doctors could do
nothing for him, and he died in a few
minutes. Before breathing his last he
said: ''Pm Roner. Ny poor wife and
children" When asked what he had
done, he said "Nothing; 1 don't know.
He gave me no time to talk. Oh, Pm so
Weak!" Booker, when arrested by the
officer, was asked for the knife. He told
the police to go and find it," He was
quickly hurried to q station house.

brunette dressed for the ball. Under wa
ter she is painted in bright crimson, the
contrasting color of which set her model
off In strong relief below, while abaft her
neat rig was the perfection of the sailors
art.
The Puritan, white as the driven snow,
