MEMPHIS, Nov. 5.-The Democrats of

riots, in which the whites are to drive the
negroes from the polls amid bioodshed and

asked as to his opinion on the subject. He
said he had received in confidence various
limitations of this design ON the part of

A MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 5.-A very myster-
ious shooting affair, which will in all like
lihood cause the death of Mrs. Kettle
Stokes, residing at 331 Greenwich street,
occurred tonight. Quite early in the eve
ming three shots were heard in the house
and an officer. upon investigation found
that Cuban, named Raimon, had shot
Mrs. Stokes three times. two of the bull
let's taking effect in the face, and the
third one in one of her lungs. The officer
arrested Raimon, but only succeeded in
doing so after the prisoner had fired shot
and had been dubbed into insensibility.
Both Mrs. Stokes and Raimon were taken
to hospital where the former is dying,
and the latter either feigning or is actually
unconscious. Not the slightest clue as to
the motive for the crime can be learned,
the woman being unable, by reason of the
wounds in her face, to talk, and the pris-
oner is likewise silent. Mrs. Stokes has
7-year old son, and lives with her hus-
band in the house where she received her
wounds. Her husband. who returned to
the house shortly after the affair can
throw no light upon it.

THE LIE DIRECT.
The Nom Conformist Publishes an Infam-
Gus Charge Against Mr. Upham.

CoFFEYvILLE, Nov. Sin the Winfield
Non-Conformist of the 1st, appears the
following: IA few smart Republicans in
this part of the country are circulating the
report that the detectives have discovered
that no political party had anything to do
with the bomb at Coffeyyille. They say
that Upham is only guilty and that he got
the dynamite at Fort Scott to kill his
wife to get her life insurance.
[Signed.l L. F. DICK.
The report is one of the most infamous
lies ever perpetrated by any dynamlter in
America. Mr.. Upham is one of our most
intelligent and respected citizens, and any
such base falsehood is a disgrace to any
person who pretends to be an honest
American citizen. Mo- in this city or
county thinks anything of the kind.
