away at 6:22 O'Clock this evening in the
presence of his grief stricken family.
During the period Of Barnum's invall,
dism and confinement to the house
which began twenty-one weeks ago last
Friday, there have been frequent tluc'

Barnum sank into comatose condition,
from which it was evident that there
would be little hope Of his again return:

finally came, it was peaceful and to all
appearances, painless. The physicians
say that Barnum had no organic disease

had been apparent for the past few
months being due to the gradual failure
Of his general mental powers, resulting
from old age. He was about so.

Alliances in Every State.

WASHINGTON, April S.-Represen-
tative Jerry Simpson left the city yester-
day for Olean, n. Y, to spend the next
ten days in the work Of proselyting the
farmers Of Western New York. The
national lecturer of the Alliance, Mr..
Willitts, also left yesterday afternoon
for New jersey, where he hopes to
awaken considerable interest in the AL
lance cause. He has already made a
journey out to Ohio and sown the seed
from which he hopes large crop of Al
liances will grow. This activity on the
part of the Alliance leaders, according
to Senator Pefer's statement toa United
Press reporter, is due to the fact that a
movement is on foot to carry the Alli-
ance ideas into every State of the Union
before the next campaign. Senator PEI
fer also spoke hopefully of the confer
ence to be held in Cincinnati on the 10Th
of May, and said that il was the forerun-
ner Of the organization of a new party.
The effect Of the recent visit of Repre-
sentative Simpson to New England is
viewed with some alarm by the mem
bers of both the Republican and Demo
cratic parties ip New Hampshire.
Both parties there have discovered how
equally divided the vote is, and it would
not take many converts to the Alliance
ideas to give the third party the balance

There is considerable commotion
among the railroad lines in this State,
and there are indications that the ltal-
ians are avenging their countrymer by
the destruction of property. Two at
tempts to wreck TACT express on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad were de-
tected in time to prevent the loss OF
life. 4 few minutes before the New
York express passed narrow cut near
Grafton the track walker discovered
several heavy pieces of iron wedged
tightly between the rails. An hour
later the Chicago express barely escaped
disastrous wreck near the same point
by a similar obstruction. \ large de-
pot and store building Oh the Baltimore

with dynamite, completely wrecking
the building and causing heavy loss.
All the contents were destroyed. AL
these crimes are charged to the ltal-
ians in the neighbour ood where they

wood, young girl ran down the track
frantically waving red flag. Engineer
William Narison put on the brakes, and
the train stopped but few feet from a
heap of ties that had been piled across
the track.
II saw two men put them there and
run into the woods" the girl said, appa-
rently in great excitement, land ran
down To stop you.'
Grateful passengers took up collec.
ton that was reported at the time to
amount to sl05, and the maiden found
herself a heroine.
George Fitzgeiald, the station boss,
could not quite see how such scheme
could be planned in that vicinity.
Tramps were not numerous, and the few
families living IN the vicinity were well
known and above suspicion. A little
investigation convinced him that the ties
were not placed there to wreck the train.
These suspicious were confirmed by a
fellow employee, Levi Buldge, cousin
Of the ''heroine Of day." who obtained
from her a confession that she and her
sister had planned and carried out the
scheme to enrich slender purse, and
incidentally to win a little tleeting re-
nown. The girl who had waved the
flag was one of the twin sisters, Flora
and Laura, daughters Of George Wool
ley.
The Misses Woolley were in sad pre-
dicarnent at the discovery of their plot
They had heard their father read in the
newspapers, they said, Of a girl who had
saved a tram for glory, and the idea
suggested itself to them that the same
thing could be done for money. They
had carried the ties to the track and
sent their younger brother, Bud" to
the house for signal fla g. The story
about the men making for the woods
was persisted in until Mr.. Burdge wrune

Argument at Aiken.

AIKEN, S. c., April S.-Judge Al
drich, in chambers. continued the hear
ing OF the argument to-day on the petit
tion of the Phosphate Commission
that the APPOINTMENT of temporary
receiver and the temporary injunction
of the Coosaw Company be made per-
manent. The State was represented by
Col. Robert Aldrich and Mr.. e. ).
Mower, and the Coosaw Company by
Gen. Edward McCrady and Mr.. A. NJ.
Lee. The hearing commenced at ~
a. m. and continued until 2p. m. A
recess was tnen taken until $50 p. m,
when the hearing was resumed. 1t
was concluded at 4.30 p. m. Messrs.
Mower. McCrady and Lee left for
Charleston on the night train and Col.
Aldrich returned to Barnwell.
The matter is III Judge Aldrich's
hands, and his decision as to whether
he, sitting in chambers, had juriSdic-
tion in the case, and as to whether the
appointment of a receiver and the
granting of a permanent injunction
may be expected in few days.
Mr.. Mower, in opening the argument,
addressed himself to the task Of prov
ing that Judge Aldrich had jurisdic-
tion in the case. In support of his
views he quoted literally from law
and precedent.
Col. Aldrich followed for the State
and Gen. McCrady and Mr.. Lee tor
Coosaw. The time before dinner was
taken up in arguing the question OF
jurisdiction. After dinner the argu-
ments were on the appointment of a
receiver. Col. Aldrich said it seemed
that the rock was owned by the State,
which is not disputed, and when The
Coosaw Company ceases work the State
is deprived Of its revenue, adding bur
dens TO the taxpayers. 1t appeared that
mis- Honor should issue the usual order,
confirming the order issued appointing
temporary receiver, and continuing
him until further action OF the court.
He thought there is no reason why
Mr.. Brooks should not be appointed
receiver because he is clerk in the OF
fee of the Secretary of State.
Gen. McCrady-"Would you think it
proper to appoint Coosaw official re-
ceiver?"
Col. Aldrich-"Yes, if it pleased the
