THE better class of white Republi-
cans of Nashville are getting tired of
the negro domination in their party,
or more correctly speaking probably,
weary of the processes Of some of the
boss white Republicans who use the
negro to control their party machin-
cry. At all events they are making
an effort to cut loose from the colored
brother, which, however, may be
only a ruse to scare the negroes and
thus bind them closer to the party. 1t
is healthful sign for the progress of
the negro race to note that great
many Of them are putting on their
own thinking caps, and will serve the
best interests of their race this year
by supporting the Democratic ticket.
They are bidding the G. o. p adieu
without waiting for a formal leave
of absence.

BUSINESS REVIVAL.

Athens Post: Ithas not occurred Of
ten in the history ofthis country that
a revival of business has been wit
messed during Presidential contest,
but such is the gratifying fact right
now. We are not foolish enough to
attribute it all to the excellent Dem
ocratic methods in vogue under
Cleveland, but that we now have a
revival in general trade is a damper
on the Republican cry of free trade
calamities. .
NOT AFRAID OF THEIR DOODLE.
Pulaski Citizen: Let the republic
cans continue to indulge in the delu-
sion that Tennessee is a doubtful state
and can be purchased by them by a
liberal outlay of money in our midst.
The money won't hurt us while there
is no danger of its accomplishing the
purposes for which it is intended. A
cool hundred thousand scattered
about in Tennessee would serve to
quicken the pulse of the democratic
voter and give him more time to
work for his party.
DOU BITS THE COLONEL'S INFLUENCE.
South Pittsburg Standard 1t is
said that Grundy county will give
the republican presidential candidate
100 more votes this year than it did
to Blaine in 'S4, and that it is the
Shook influence that will bring about
this republican gain. We don't be-
lieve it. Col. Shook can escort a
bevy of girls to South Pittsburg as
neatly as the next one, but when it
comes to his making hundred Dem
ocrats vote the republican ticket on
account of the tariff issue, we think
he will mistake his calling.

"Whad's de matter with de electricity?"
The question was asked in New York by Dan
Lyons. chief of the Whyo gang, an hour after
he was sentenced to be hanged on July II.
Dan had read the new law abolshing the
moose and substituting electrical stroke as
means of death for capital punishment.
The electrical method was to be applied only
to men condemned after -next-Jan. /. Lyons
has now asked his counsel to petition the
governor for respite until next year, in the
hope that the new law could be so construct
ed as to apply to him, but ae careful
reading of the statute does not
support any such hope. Lyons will have to
much disappointed. Two other murderers
are under sentence for execution on the same
day that Lyons will be hanged One is
Charles Giblin. who shot to death bakers
wife who would not return to him the coun-
terteit bill which he had tried to pass on her.
Giblin is weakling, morally and physically
Ia wan, consumptive fellow who was ap un-
unskillfhl sort of counterfeiter untiEa greater
crime ended his career. The third unior-
tunate creature is an Italian woman Chiafa
Cignarale, who is so prostrated' by
dread of the gallows that the Tombs'
physician would not be surprised if she
should die of fright. Her crime consisted
ing her hated husband into the street and
shooting him there. She speaks hardly any
English, and an Italian priest consented to
introduce the subject to her. This was easy,
because the poor woman's mind could not
be kept by him on the subject of religion.
She was filled with horror of the gallows, and
would talk with him about nothing else, after
she understood that she was sentenced to die
on July IT. He found that her terror was
mostly physical, and she brooded constant
ly over the process of hanging. When the
change of method was described to- her, she
clasped her hands joyfully and exclaimed
that after all she would not have to be clicked
to death.

N. p. Railroad Accident.

When near Gold Creek station, fifty miles
west of Helena, n Northern Pacific east bound
train jumped the track, the day coach. diner
and Pullman rolling over into ditch. In an in
stant the air was filed with shrieks, cries and
walls of the frightened, injured and helpless
passengers imprisoned in the overturned cars.
1t was nearly dark, and to add to the horror
and discomfort of the scene a driving rain
was coming down and the night air was chill
and penetrating. The sleeper, diner and day
coach were all lying on their sides in the ditch
ten feet below the track, and from
each car came a chorus of screams,
cries and excited exclamations. Many oil
the men, among whom were three doctors,
got out very soon, and at once commenced
the work of extricating the injured and i'm
prisoned. Luckily all lamps had gone out
and the cars did not catch fire. Men climbed
to the uppermost side of each car and pulled
out the passengers through the windows.
The wounded were attended by the doctors
and placed aboard O forward part of the
train which remained on the track. Those
in the day coach, which was nearly filed,
Jared the worst. Among them were the Riley
q Wood theatrical troupe. Some of the
men were forward in the smoking car and
were not in the accident, but several
lady members of the troupe and also some
gentlemen were severely hurt. One of the
actresses was horribly cut about the face and
head. The baby of Chinese woman, who
was on board with her white husband, was
also hurt. There were about twenty-one
passengers in the sleeper, among whom were
several ladies. None had retired, except one
lady in the drawing room car, and she was
uninjured. There must have been twenty-five
ladies in the wreck and nearly twice as many
gentlemen. The wonder is that so few were
hurt and nobody was killed outright. The
work of rescuing passengers occupied about
two hours.

afterward Mr. Tomowoski was found dead in

brought a shotgun with him, and when he
and his uncle had commenced cutting wood
he placed the gun by a tree After a while q

was running heard the report of a gun. The
nephew told the neighbors, and search was
made and the body found as above stated.
Louis J. Finlay, furniture worker of Mil
waukee is charged with attempting to poison
his wife. One night Mrs. Finlay awoke in the
middle of the night to find her husband hold
ing vial to her mouth Take drink, dar-
hing" he said, when he saw she was awake.
There was strong odor of chloform, and
her clothing was saturated with it. She went
to a neighbours, and ut once communicated
with her parents at Oshkosh, Wis, from
whom she ascertained that her husband had
written them several days before that she
was dangerously i'll. These circumstances, in
connection with the fact that she had felt un-
well after drinking cup of coffee prepared
for her by him, led her to cause his arrest.
He at first admitted and then denied the
charge. His marriage occurred less than
year ago. and it is supposed he wanted to get
rid of his wife to marry another woman.
Four years ago former wife and child were
burned to death in their dwelling at Grand
Rapids, Mich.
