Observer.


Observer.
The Tenth Annual Convention Of
the North Carolina State Sunday
School Association, which has just
closed at Fayetteville, was a very
successful meeting in every respect.
The report Of the statistical secre.
tary, Mr.. II. n. Snow, makes q good
showing. He said: At the State
Convention held in Wilmington last
year we reported forty-nine counties
organized. ! have now to report
ninety-three Of the ninety-six coun.
ties Of the State organized in this In.
terdenominational Sunday School
work. We call them organized be.
cause they have held conventions
and elected officers who are presum.
ed to be actively engaged in increas.
ing the interest in Sunday School
work in their county, but we have
no information that twenty seven Of
the counties reported as organized
have held conventions during the
year. Two district, sixty-six county
and eighty-six township conventions
have been reported during the year.
No speaker before the Convention
has so captivated his hearers as did
Mr.. ]. II. Southgate, of Durham, on
Sunday School Evangelilation. His
bearing is most attractive and pleas
ing. he is gifted with great personal
magnetism, and. best Of all, he is i'm.
bued with true christian fervor in
his work.

H.mrack for Earthquakes.

L.mrsick for Earthquakes. !.
II see there was an earth.
Iquake in California yesterday"
said the old Californian. "That
sounds good like old times. II
makes me homesick. The west
coast has been getting too
blamed stylish since it got rail-
roads, and a good shaking up
will do it good, set it right, re-
mind it of old times. Why,
when / first went out there in
the spring of 80 we thought no
more Of having the roof ratified
down over our heads night than
Boston folks think of wading
around in slush and mush up to
their knees. This doesn't seem
to have been much of a shake,
yet it was a bigger one than
California has had for more
than 20 years. The last big one
was the year that the first rail
road was finished across the
continent, That big shake came
as lif California was shaking
hands with old times and the
days of emigrant trains. There
have been nothing much but
little quivers since that time
nothing wholesome, nothing
worth counting, nothing to
make a man stop and think of
his soul. tell you, back in the
old days earthquakes took the
place of missionaries. They
were Just as effectual and it
didn't cost anything TO support
'em. Why, I've seen q gangof
men getting ready to have a
little sociable orgy on a chilly
night, when, whizz. the noun
tains would begin to teeter, the
ground would go loose under
your feet; il there was any glass
around it would shiver and fall.
Then the men would look white
round the gills; some Of 'em
would complain of being dead
sick to the pits of the stomach,
and if there was anything drunk
that night it had water in it,
and there would be consider
able more quiet to the game, if
It came off at all. There was a
little shake when l was out in
California on one of those ex-
cursion here a few years ago,
but it was a poor, third rate,
good for nothing little quiver-
didn't even shake down any
plaster. Folks didn't use to
plaster their houses. They
boarded 'em up or sealed 'em
with cloth and let it go at that.
But it seems that yesterday |
there was a grand shaking up,
and plaster crumbled and fell.
Good Lord / wish I'd been
there. I'd give a good deal to |
see the mountains teeter and
feel the ground 20 the way it
used to in the spring Of '5o."

Asphy xiated i'm n Tunnel,

PORTLAND, Oregon, July 3O.-En-
gineer Jack R0Cheford. of the through
express, south.bound, met death IN an
unusual manner in tunnel Ii, sixteen
miles south of Ashland, yesterday NOM
ing. Two engines are required to take
the train over the Siskyous. Rocheford
had the front engine. When the train
was nearly through the tunnel the coup
ling between the mail and express cars
broke. Twenty minutes were consumed
in making new coupling. The smoke
and gas from the second engine blew
directly into the cab of the one ahead,
suifocating the engineer and fireman. 1t
was decided to hack out of the tunnel,
and when the train stopped outside the
engineer and fireman of the front engine
were missing. A searth revealed the
engineer lying dead by the track, with
his lett arm cut of by the engine. Fire
man Fitzpatrick was lying UNCONSCIOUS
by the track, but revived later on. Both
got off the engine TO escape sutlocation
and were asphyXiated by the time they
reached the ground. Rochctord lell with

Dragged to Death by "A Horse.

CHICAGO, July 30.-Arthur Thomas,
the nine-year-Old son of Manager Ar
thur Thomas, of the County Fair"
Company, was thrown from the back of
the Dude. one of the horses used in the
play, Monday morning and was almost
instantly killed. With his father and
a party the boy was out riding. His
horse ran. Mr.. Thomas pursued him
on Queen, but though Queen is the fast
er horse of the two, she could not gain
on the Dude. The boy lost all control
OF the horse, and dropping the reins
tried to keep on by holding to the name.
He lost his balance, falling to one side,
but his foot stuck in the stirrup and for
fun two blocks he hung suspended, his
head striking the pavement at every
Jump, made by the horse. His head
struck the horses feet at one time and
the animal gave a vicious kick, which
caused the boys foot to slip from his
shoe, and he fell to the pavement dead.

Zellwood, Fla, special TO the Times
Union says:
Late last night Miss Myra Fancher,
beautiful girl, only IL years old, shot
and instantly killed A. Z. Jones. sec
ton foreman on the Florida Central and
Peninsular Railroad. She lay in wait
for him at street corner and when he
approached blew his brains out with a
revolver.
For nearly a year past Jones had
been paying devoted attention to Mis-.
Fancher, and common report designated
them as engaged to be MARI ed. About
two months ago, however, ,Jone, dis
carded her and married another girl.
Since then Myra has been d spondent,
aud at times revengefIl, but no one sus
pected that she intended any violence on
Jones.
''Since the shooting she says that
Jones became criminal y intimate with
her under promise of marrige and she
could stand her disgrace no longer. She
was Immediately arrested and taken to
Orlando, the county seat, for preliminary
trial. Public sympathy is entirely on
her side. Jones's remains were taken
10 Lake City for hurial."

Two Destructive Wrecks.

LEXINGTON, Ky, July 30.-Two of
the worst and most destructive wrecks
that have occurred in long time took
pla { on the Cincinnati Southern Rail
road this morning, in which several peo-
pie where in urcd and one or two chrush-
ed to death. The first wreck occurred
one mile south Of High Bridge, when a
freight train coming north to this city
was thrown from the track by broken
axle and five heavily loaded cars went
tumbling down the embankment. The
construction train at La Devlllc was
ordered TO go to High Bridge and render
all possible assistance. When the train
arrived at a deep cut near Donerail it
collided with freight train. The en-
gines and large number of cars were
badly demolished. The en9l neer and
fireman of the construction train Jumped
from their engine and were unlnjured.
Ben Carroll, engineer OF the freight, and
his fireman, William Mckinley, were
both caught in their engine. Carroll re.
ceived slight cuts and bruises and Nc.
Kinley was buried beneath tie engine.
When extracted he was mashed into q
pulp. All trains are blockadcd, and q
big excursion that was to leave here
this morning for Niagara Falls had to
go over the Kentucky Central.

public letter from Capt. Richard
O'Neil. ex-mayor of Columbia, who has
for some years been classed with Re-
publicans. In this letter Capt. O'Neil
suggests as a remedy for the existing
depression by reason of the reduced
price of cotton. the skipping of acct
t0n crop "a the whole South next year.
Ills plan, In brief, is for the farmers to
refuse to sell but half the present crop
during the next twelve months, de.
manding l213 cents per pound, plant no
cotton at all next season, but raise food
crops only. In this way the new Mul
berry Sellers figures that the farmers
would be able to once for all free them

being dependent thereon for supplies,
and would make something handsome

THE TRIANGULAR FIGHT in OHIO.
A Third state Tieke. to Enter the Field
Today.


SPRINGFIELD, o., Aug. 5.-When
the Peoples Party convention was called
to order today by Hon. III. Il. Barnes,
at least 450 delegates occupied seats In
the beautifully decorated hall. A more
orderly and intelli. ent convention is
seldom seen. Many ladies were on the
floor of the hall and several of them oc-
cupied seats on the stage. The proceed
ings were opened with prayer by Joshua
Crawford, and Chairman Barnes then
read letters of encouragement from SEN
ator PETER and Hon. II. Gathers, men,
ber of the national committee of Ala
bama.
Hugh Cavanaugh, of Cincinnati, was
introduced as temporary chairman, and
when he advanced to the front of the
stage he was greeted with hearty ap-
plausc. Cavanaugh said this was the
most important convention held by any
party for many year. 1t is composed
OF men who have no axes to grind We
propose, said he, to serve police on DOM
mating parties that they have served
out their time. We differ from both the
other Slate conventions Which have been
held this year, notably from the one in
Columbus, in that we have not so many
senatorial candidates In the field. We
ale here to represent principle which
must in the end prevail. Politicians
have been saying, "You till the soil and
we will attend to politics."
Cavanaugh said that John Sherman,
like ingalls,, would be relegated to pri-
vate life. "If the Mansfield iceburg
fully understood his position he would
| say, with Woolsey: Had I but served
the people with half the strength have
served Wall street, il would not now
leave me in my old ago." II. b.
| Hutchson was selected as temporary
secretary. Various committees retired,
and pending their return to re port Rob-
ert Schilling addressed the convention.
After receiving reports from committees,
the convention adjourned until to.mor-
row.
The committee ON resolutions has
been wrestling with platform since 8
p. m, and at 10 p. m. adjourned until
tomorrow morning without having
reached conclusion. The sticking
points are the prohibition, land tax and
farm product loan features. The city
districts insist that a prohibition plank
would cost the party thousands of votes
and they will fight it to the bitter end
Regarding ticket, everything is chaos
There are dozen candidates, and their
respective advocates are not sanguine
There is beneath the surface consldera
BILE feeling between the Federation O
Labor men and the knights of Labor

CHARLEsToN, S. g., July 3l.-The
Farmers Alliance store in Spartanburg
County failed some time ago, aud, al
though the store was under the auspices
of the County Alliance when the failure
came, the Alliance dis .laimed all res
possibility, holding that it lay with the
managers personally. The creditors, a
Baltimore firm, finding they could no.
collect the debt, have entered suit IN the
United States Court for $2025. 1t is
expected that the case will soon come
up. 1t is one Ofthe first of its kind ever
had in the country, and the decision will
probably define the liabilities of the AL.
