Although Colonel DENLY. Minis

President Cleveland, it is understood
that he will not be disturbed by
President Harrison. Colonel DENLY
is an Indiana man, and very popu.
lar, and the President is beginning
to feel that he can't afford to make
any more enemies in Indiana. even
on the Democratic side. Colonel
Denby's appointment was secured by
an Illinois man. the late Representa-
tive Townshend. The Indiana Demo.
Gratis hadn't thought of him until
Mr.. Townshend began urging his
appointment. The Washington Post
says: There is an undercurrept Of
considerablestrenght among Demo

General DENLY for Vice President
on the ticket in 1899. They says
that he was a brave and brilliant

has been heard from General DENLY,

GRAFTON is possession of marble mum
mics of their ancestors. Edwards
soundstrong formerly chemist Of The
Atlanta Perfumery Company. died
over a month ago of mercUrial
poisoning. His wife, in Sweden,
was notified, and she asked that the
body be embalmed, so that she could
come across the ocean and look
upon her husbands face again. Tn.
dertaker E. K. Blliey embalmed
the remains. Some days ago he
noticed that the flesh was crystalliz
ing. The fnds used in the embalm-
ing process are very poisonous, and
Mr.. Billy attributed the strange
change to the action of one poison
on the other. The face has grown
whittier and harder daily until it is
as white and firm as marble. The
wife has arrived, and will carry the
corpse to Sweden for burial, but
there may be some more experiments
to see if the strange p~etrifaction was
merely a wonderful exception, or
can be scientifically accomplished in
every case.

certainly hal The Fifty.second con-
gress will contain thirty-eight

twelve to fifteen others who are
pledged to as. These men are from
the South and southwest, the two
sections in which most of our work
was done. The alliance in Nebraska,

reform is the necessity Of

"Did the alliance use anything
but oratory 10 the campaign ?" asked
the reporter.
"The press and the voice of the
stump-speaker were our only as.
sistants," replied Colonel Polk.
THE alliance had no campaign fund,
no Doodle. If we had had money
we would not have used it. The
virtue and patriotism of the people
are the thing to appeal to. Our
methods were fair and square, and
the whole world could see what
we were doing. The principles on
which the alliance ia fonnde;1 are
solid and correct; we must succeed.
"The fight was go small affair.
The extremists Of both parties at.
tackled US bitterly and gave no inch
Of ground. In the South it was
the Democrats who opposed Us. In
the north our most vigorous at.
tagonists were Republicans Yet
with all the farmers candidates
and it is conceded they

FORGED sIGNATURE.
Collision Caused by Withholding Or
ders From tho Conductor,

TACosiA, Nov. l2.--The collision be-
tween freignt trains No. 90 and so, near
the reservation last night, was the result
OF a forgery. When Superinten dent Nc
Cabc began investigating the collision
this morning he learned that Conductor
Bruce, OF No. 81, never received the or
der telling him to meet No. so in Ia
coma. No. So is q regular train and has
the right Of way unless ordered to wait.
Conductor Bruce received no order, as
lie claimed last night He started his
train out as usual and the collision re-
suited.
The order from the chief dispatcher s
office was received at the yard office,
where the trainlnen get their orders.
Each order thus sent is Implicated by
the use of carbon paper. One copy Of
the order is given to the conductor, one
to the engineer and the operator keeps
the third. The operators copy was
spread out on Superintendent McCabo's S
desk this morning, and when compared
with another order actually signed by
/ Conductor Bruce, plainly showed the
signature to last nights order was for
gerry. Who signed Conductor Bruce's
name is mystery up to Il late hour this
afternoon, as is also the purpose of the
signer. 1t is counted lucky that the ac-
cident was not more serious than it
turned ont
