RUNS FIGHT IN FULTON.
THE ANTS FIRE HOT SHOT AT
THE RICE FACTION.

ATLANTA, GA, Sept. 8.-As wired last
night, lively fight has been brewing
among the Fulton Democrats for some
days, owing to the action of the County
Executive Committee restricting the
vote at the Senatorial primary to regis
tered Democratic voters. At special
meeting OF the Executive Committee to-
daY the obnoxious resolution was re con-
sidered. This insures heavy poll to-
morrow, and it is a square fight between
the prohibltionists and the antis, with
the chances in favor of the latter. Frank
P. Rice is the candidate OF the prohibi-
tiOnists. The antis have ticket out, but
the delegation is uninstructed, and 1t IS
not known who they will favor.

railroad was taken up. Her husband

street crossing in 1884, and she sues for
| $4,000. The case was still pending at

RED-HOT MEETING.
A big political meeting was held at the
| Opera House tonight in opposition to
Frank Price, the Senatorial candidate
from this district on the prohibition plat
form. Speeches were made by Hoke
Smith and Col. Reuben Arnold. They
charged that the Rice ticket means ad-
vocacy OF a general prohibition law for
the State and in favor OF the convict les
sees. Mr.. Rice was charged with selling
out to both sides in the last twelve hours,
but being really the candidate of the
Chattahoochee Brick Company. The anti
Rice ticket is made up OF strong men,
and will In the convention support a
man who will oppose State
prohibition law and favor forfeitures by
the penitentiary companies 2 and of
their lease for having violated contracts
with the State. The law forbids sub
only one Of the original lessees of those
companies has any interest in the con-
yicts. Mr.. Smith said ne inquired at the
executive office to-day TO learn who are
the present lessees Of one OF the compa-
nies, and nobody could tell him. The pri-
mary election is to be held in this county
tomorrow for Senatorial delegates, and a
heavy vote will be polled. w. s. Nc

MUTILATED BY CARS.
Ted Nash, an employe OF the Central
railroad, working with one Of the yard en-
| Rines, was run over tonight and his
whole structure so badly mutilat6Q that
his death is only matter of a fewhours.
Nash was attempting to make a coupling
when one OF his feet got caught in the
guard rail and he was thrown
on the track. Both legs and one arm were
cut off and his stomach literally torn to
pieces by one OF the wheels of the car
He was carried to DR.. Westmoreland's
office. An examination OF the extent and
nature Of the wounds satisfied
ing could be done to save his
life. When the NEWS correspondent
left him ne was perfectly rational, but
was growing weaker every moment.
General Agent Robert Schmidt was at his
side doing all that be could TO alleviate
the sufferings Of the dying man. Before
these lines are read Nash will no doubt be
a corpse. l
