a state convention Held to Join the
National League.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, june Fifty
two republican clubs met in convention
here to-day for the purpose of forming a
state league, which will become a part of
the national league of republican clubs.
Florida is the first state in the south to thus
seek membership in the national or
ganization. The delegates numbered
over 500, the proportion being
about one white to four blacks. The con-
vention organized with s. s. Chubb of De-
Land as chairman and Philip Walter,
present clerk of the United States court. as
secretary. Nearly the whole day was
spent inperfecting organization. Tonight a
long series of resolutions was adopted.
denouncing the Democratic party. especially
IN Florida, and recommending the passage
of stringent federal election law.
GUITEAU's ADVISER AGAINST 1T.
W. W. Hicks of Fort Mason, who will be
recalled as the spiritual adviser of Guiteau
in 1SSl-2, made stirring speech in opposi-
ton to the passage of the election law reso-
luton, in which he had the sympathy of a
large portion of the colored delegates. But
the resolutions were warmly supported by
all the white delegates, and went throug b
finally by large majority. One resolution
declares that if the people of Tallahassee
object to ex-Gov. Harrison Reid for post
master all postal facilities should be denied
them. Tomorrow the convention will
adopt the constitution of the national
league, and after transacting minor business
will adjourn

IRREGULAR BOB BREWER.
ALECK CULPRPP9R SHOT BY A
NEGRO FUGITIVE.

Culpepper and Two Others Had Gone
to Arrest the Black-He Saw Them
and Fired on Them Without Warn
ing-He Then Escaped to a Swamp.
WAYCRoss, GA, June IZ-Waycross is
in state of excitement tonight over the
shooting of one of her policemen and
deputy sheriffs by an unknown negro.
Last night the commissary of Tie Con-
tractor W. P. Lee was burglarized and a
strange negro, who had been recently en-
ployed, was missing this morning. Mr.. Lee
failed to get a record of his name, but knew
him by sight. aud on reaching Waycross
learned that his man was hiding In the
negro quarter known as "Old Nine" He
had a warrant issued Oh the description of
the man.
HELP SWORN
Sheriff Henderson had previously sworn
in young Aleck Culpepper as deputy and
sent him to make the arrest. Culpepper
called in two aides. Arriving at cold
Nine," they saw burly negro standing
outside near shanty. They stopped to
scrutinize the man from distance of sew
enty feet. The Negroes attention was at
tracted and he leisurely went into the house.
Suddenly there was a binding f1asa and
startling report from crack in the doorway,
dHC deputy Onerlu CulpopDer Tell 10 kne
earth with a 38-caliber ball in his right
breast.
ARMED WITH WINCHESTER.
The negro had secured a Winchester
rifle, which he had stolen the night before,
and had coolly and deliberately murdered
the officer, who he knew was after him.
Seeing the fatal effect of his aim, he sprang
outside, and deliberately taking a second
aim, pulled the trigger. Fortunately he
had failed to throw out the empty she'll and
recnarge the chamber, and this alone saved
the life OF the second officer. AS the latter
was crowding the murderer too closely,
and not being familiar with the Winches-
ter, he beat precipitate retreat.
THE SHERIFF IN PURSUIT.
Sheriff Henderson, with posse on horse
back, pursued him, but he had gained a
good start and hid himself in thick swamp
about half a mile distant, where he is sup
posed to be tonight. In the meantime he
is being surrounded. At midnight pack
of bloodhounds are expected, and will be
put on his track. He is supposed to have
fifteen charges of 80 cartridges, and will
doubtless make a desperate resistance
Culpepper ct this hour n o'clock is sinking
rapidly, and his physicians say there is no
hope of his recovery.

M1LLRpaEvILLE MENTION.
Col. Hardeman's Candidacy Stirs Up
the Political Gossips.


the Political Gossips.
MILLEDGEvILLE, GA, June 1.-THE an
nouncement of the candidacy of Col
Thomas Hardeman for governor has caused
some political talk among our people. Be-
fore Col. Herdeman's announcement it was
conceded that Mr.. Northen would
carry this baldwin, county. The most
conservative are still strong in that
belief. The executive committee has
called a mass meeting for Tuesday, July Is,
for the purpose of selecting delegates to the
gubernatorial convention, which meets in
Atlanta on Aug. z. County politics is
unusually quiet, there being but one candi-
date announced for the legislature. Col
Robert. Whitfield, who made such an envi-
able reputation in the last Senate, will no
doubt represent Baldwin county in the
lower house in 1S90'9l.
The citizens of Milledgeville are very
much elated over the hope that the Oconee
river in short while may be made naviga-
Die up as far as Milledgeville. By invitation
Lieut.. Carter, of the United States engineer
corps. arrived here on Saturday and met the
citizens of the town and county and told them
what would be necessary before he could
begin removing distractions. He has had
thorough survey of the Oconee river
made, and finds the depth of it greater
than that of the Ocmulgee.
The Central railroad bridge that
crosses the river about thirty miles below
Milledgeville is one Of the first Instructions
that will have to be removed, but it is
thought that the railroad authorities will
not OBJECT very seriously to this. Lieut..
Carter while in the city was the guest of
the board of trade He was here only
short while but made many friends.
