It's Freirht SIN Tiea Up.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 1S.-The New
York Central and its connections are
running their passenger trains
through this morning on fair approx
imation to schedule time, which is
due largely to the moderation of the
men who are out on strike, but while
passenger traffic remains practically
uninterrupted, the freight situation
at this point has grown very much
more serious.
Affairs were very quiet at the East
Buffalo yards this morning. No
strikers were seen. The company is
trying to move freight with green
hands. The big yards are full of
freight cars, some of which arrived on
Friday.
The executive committee of the SUI
preme Council of the Federation of
Railway Employees went into session
at o'clock this afternoon. General
Master Workman Powderly was with
them. After two hours conference it
was decided to go to New York on the
first train.

morning Of congestive chill
nr. Sherer had not long been a
resident of this city. He came here a
few months ago from Philadelphia
and was very well thought of by his
employers. He had not been in good
health for some time, and thought
that residence in the South would
improve him. 1t did fora time, until
he hadithe chill that ended his life.
The deceased was a married man
and leaves q wife and three children,
all of whom are now living in Jersey
City. At the time of his death he
was but 81 years old. The funeral
took place yesterdy afternoon from

STATE DEMoCnATIC PROSPECTS.
Mnior sutherlin Thinks tho Outlook
Is Excellent.

is Excellent.
RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 1S.-The Dis
patch prints an interview with Major
W. 7. Sutherlin, of Danyille, tempo
rary chairman OF the Democratic COM
mittee of Virginia
THE prospects for the Democratic
party" said the major, 'sare very flat
tering. The one apprehension have
is that some OF our voters, feeling sure
of success, may become Indifferent.
But l would urge them to be diligent
and watchful and prepared to meet
our enemies at every turn.
1t is most important that the
Democrats should poll a large ma
jority in the State this fall, and if
anything is lacking to secure activity
in our party l think the Republicans
will furnish the incentive. The out
rageous conduct of the Republican
members in Congress ought to fire
the heart of every loyal Virginian.n
What do you think of the Alliance
movement in Virginia."
While not q member of the ALI
ance, l am in full sympathy with
their interests. So far as ! know or
believe, / think the Alliance expects to
accomplish what they want through
the Democratic party, and not out
side of it. Any attempt to convert
the alliance into a district party in
Virginia would, in my opinion, gnd
few supporters.
Are the Democrats throughout the
State alive and we'll organized?n
II have seen several chairmen of
the district committees and have
heard from others, and my impression
is thar they propose to have their
districts well organized for the fall
election, and they seem to be hopeful
of great triumph. The Republican
party has certainly lost ground heav-
lily, because of the failure On the part
of Congress to repeal the internal
revenue, and because of the odious
and oppressive manner in which the
law has been enforced

TILE THIRD WARD.

The Third Ward meeting was lit
tie larger than the second, but equally
quiet. The citizens assembled about
the center of the hall and made j. ID.
Carr chairman, and j. +. Peters, sec
rotary. JIG. Graves, F. P. Wright
and j. D. Carr were the delegates
elected to the Congressional conven-
ton. The members of the new eXecu-.
tive committee from this ward are
John F. Peters, John Sheehan and
M. P. Scott.
When the ward meetings had COM
pleted their work, Chairman Scott
called the convention to order. The
actions of4the ward meetings were re-
ported and unanimously endorsed.
Mr. Thomas w. Miller suggested that
some preparation be made for the
Congressional convention which
meets here on the 29th, but no action
KS aiken. Ai.. jor Pitzer moved that
the course of Congressman Edmunds,
the present representative from this
district, be endorsed. The motion was
carried by a very small majority,
there being nearly as many noes as
ayes. The convention then adjourned
The denomination Of Representa-
tive Edmunds may be regarded as a
certainty, for if he has any opponent
Roanoke has not heard of it. Several
of the delegates told the TIsIBs re-
porter last night that they will s1lp-
bort Mr.. Edmunds, and he, will
doubtless receive the.syotes OF the en-
tire delegation, although they were
not instructed.

|old executive committee, told the

already been secured for the Congress

a sEnrEs OF SERIOUS ACCIDENTS.
Trains sInim Two for Life and
Kill a Third.

About 7.30 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, Preston Hunter, negro brake
man on the Norfolk and Western
yards, while attempting to board
shifting engine No. 90 as it backed
past the flower plat west of the Union
depot, to transfer the north bound
Pullman coaches to the Shenandoah
Valley road, missed his footing and
fell to the ground with his right foot
over the track, the engine passing
over it, severing it and decorating the
leg in horrible manner. He was
taken to the Office Of Drs. Koiner &
Gale, where DIR. Koiner, assisted by
Drs. Luck and Harrison amputated
the leg about six inches below the
knee. Hunter has lived here for years.
The unfeeling conduct of the crowd
that gathered around the unlortu-
nate man before he was removed to
the surgeons Office was surprising.
No one offered to stop the flow of
blow by bandage above the wound,
or to do anything whatever to relieve
his sufferings. This iahumanity was
only equalled by tkesexhibited after
wards. When t& negro man with
whom Hunter had been boarding for
babe his removal to his home. and
when the doctors had arranged for
him q place at Mrs. Bolling's, on Rail
road avenue, the negro men who car
ried him thither asked pay for so
doing.
at midnight last night Hunter was
resting very comfortably and sulre ing
little pain.
A water boy in the employ of the
railway contractors, named Joseph
Clabelin, while attempting to cross
over some freight cars near Salem,
Sunday afternoon, was thrown under
the wheels by the sudden backing of
the engine. Before lie could extricate
himself his left leg had been run over
and cut off just above the knee. DIR.
Wiley, of Salem, dressed his wounds,
after which he was brought TO this
city, and will probably be sent to his
home in Huntington, w. Va. He was
about - years old.
Frank Kale, q yard conductor on
the Norfolk and Western at Radford,
was run over by a freight train near
that town on Sunday afternoon.
When the man was found he was in
an unconscious condition, and could
give no account of how he came to be
hurt. But it is supposed that in at
to board the train he fell
it. His legs were severed
from his body, and he was otherwise
injured. Mr.. Kale was n married man.
about 33 years old, and had long been
an employe OF the road.
j. w. Duttenhoffer, an engineer on
the Norfolk and Western railroad,
between Roanoke and Bluelield, met
with painful accident Sunday morn
ing about o'clock. He lives Mt the
boarding house of Mr.. j. L. Adams,
No. 103 Norfolk avenue, and was
sleeping near an open window. Being
very restless in his sleep he rolled too
far and fell to the ground, distance
of twenty feet. He was picked up
by the proprietor of the house and
taken back to his room. DR.. Harri-
son was sent for. and after an exam
ination decided that his injuries
were not necessarily fatal. Late at
night he was resting well, but his
will not pronounce him
out of danger for several days.

A SUDDEN DEATH
Foreman Dsrr Drops Dead Last Night
OF Heart Disease.

Charles Fl. Derr, foreman of the re-
pair department Of the American
Bridge Company, dropped dead OF
heart disease last night few minutes
after 8 o'clock.
Mr.. Derr was comparative stranger
in the city, and had only been living
here six weeks. He came from Will
mingtop, Del, with his wife and IL
year-old daughter, and engaged board
with Patrick j. Greedy at 322 Fifth
avenue n. e. He was sober, hard
working man, and during his brief
stay here made q great many friends.
Soon after the arrival Of the family
in the city Mrs. Derr was taken sick
and since that time has been confined
to her bed. Mr.. Derr was her con-
slant nurse by night. During the
day he wns kept at the shops. Last
evening he returned home at 8 o'clock
and complained of feeling q little
unwell, but soon rallied and for a few
moments romped with his little
daughter. He helped her carry a
lounge from one room TO another and
then walked towards an arm chair to
rest. -
But he never reached it and on the
way fell to the floor. His sick wife
shrieked for help, and Mr.. Greeley,
who had beard the man fall, rushed
into the room and found him lying
prone upon the floor. He did his best
to recusitate him. but was unsuccess-
full, and sent for DR. Hodgsop. Before
the physician arrived, however, the
stricken man was dead.
Coroner Gray was sent for, but after
examining a number Of people, he de-
cided that an inquest was unnecess
airy. Death was almost instanrane-
Gus and was caused by heart disease.
The wife Of the man became uncon-
scious when she learned that her bus
band was dead.
The deceased was a native of Havre
de Grace, Md, but had lived in Will
mington for a number Of years He
was married in that city but had
worked in both Trenton and Phila-
delphia. He was g. member of the
Red Men, and the lodge in this city
will have charge of the funeral.

cn,ive. Committee Chosen.


The city Democratic primary con-
Yention was held at Rorer Hall last
night. Delegates to the sixth district
Congressional convention, which
meets in this city August rs, and
members of the new city Democratic
executive committee were elected.
The attendance was small, there
being less than 100 present. There
were several lodge meetings, and the
minstrel show doubtless entertained
many good Democrats. One gentle
man remarked before the meeting was
called to order that, if the crowd was
small it was made up of Simon pure
Democrats and that it took such to
miss minstrel show for primary
when political interest is at such a
low ebb.
One accommodating figure was
coal-black negro on back seat. He
entered the hall some time before the
convention proceeded to business,
and when asked if he was going to
join the Democrats he said he
tho ught he would for one night, as
that was about as good party as
any. 1t is needless to say he re-
manned spectator.
At $50 o'clock the convention was
called to order by NJ. G. Thomas,
chairman of the city executive COM
mittee. Robert E. Scott was elected
chairman of the meeting, and the
press representatives were elected
secretaries. The chair stated that
the object of the convention was to
elect delegates to the Congressional
convention, the First Ward being en-
titled to seven. the Second to five and.
the Third to three, making total of
fifteen for the city, ard to elect mem
bers of the city executive committee,
each ward being entitled to three
members.
Thos. w. Miller stated that the Gu :
tom in the city has been for the citi
zens of each ward to assemble together
and elect their own delegates and
members OF the executive committee.
On motion of Mr.. Miller this plan was
and the citizens present from
the different wards gathered together
in different parts OF the hall.
