Judge simpson Dead !:

COLUMBIA, S. c., Dec. 2I.-Thc an
nouncement Of the death Of Chief JUS
tlce William Dunlap Simpson at his resi-
dence in this city at $50 Yesterday
morning, from heart failure, was receiT-
ed with profound expressions OF sorrow
throughout the community. It was not
even known generally that the Chief
Justice had been i'll at all, consequently
the news came as a great shock to al
most every one that heard it.
Judge Simpson was taken i'll with
what was apparently only an attack of
indigestion on Sunday night. but was
not regarded as i'll enough to inquire the
services of a physician until Christmas
Day. at which time he appeared to he
so much worse that his family physician.
DR.. B. w. Taylor, was immediately
summoned to bis bedside. Every thing
that was possible was done to restore
him but he was then sinking. He re-
tanned consciousness almost TO his last
moments, and when he knew that the
end was near bore himself with the
calmness and iortitudc which had al
ways characterized his liie.-Reglster.

case of poisoning occurred near here the
other day. Harry Yoder, aged three
years, saw his pet cat catch a mouse.

playing with it. An hour afterward he
became deathly sick, his eyes swelled so
that he could not open them and be

and knew the boy had been poisoned.
He gave him quantity Of sweet cream
to drink and sent for physician. After
twenty hours of dreadful suffering the
boy was saved. The doctor explained
the case as follows: The cath its battle

Two Hundred Cinnamon Drowned.

LONDON, Dec. 27.-Further advices
from China, as to the burning of the
steamship Shanghi at Narvoo Hoo, in
the province of. Nyhan Hoei, about
fifty miles from Nanklng. show that
the disaster is much more serious than
at first imagined. The earlist advices
received stated that the victims con-
sisted of about sixty natives, together
with several European efficers who are
supposed to have met death either in
1 the flames or subsequently by drown
ing while attempting to escape from
the burning vessel. 1t now seems that
the number of lives lost will amount
to over 200, and all lost their lives by
drowning. A terrible panic appears to
have occurred among the Chinese pas
sengerS and the crew as soon as the
alarm of fire was heard and the panic in
creased terri, bly, when the flames spread
beyond the control Of the terror stricken
crew. The few European officers on
board of the Shanghi seem to have
done their best to maintain some kind
Of order among the Cinnamon with
some result. The large majority of
those who lost their lives did so by
jumping overheard in order to escape
the flames, while others met death
through the swamplng of the clumsily
lowered and OyercrOWeQ boats,

Charleston is Rpfflea

CHARLESTON, S c., Dec. 22.-The
governors appointment Of officers for
the country, has raised howl not only
among the reformers or Tillmanites, bu.
also among large class Of what is
known as the regulars or rings. 1t turns
out that the rumors of a deal between
Col. Irby, chairman Of the Tillman COM
mittee and the executive committee here
seems true, Col. 1rby promising for Capt.
Til!man that in case Charleston county
waa carried for Tiliman. the Charleston
delegation in the Legislature should have
the naming Of the appointiye Offices.
Governor Tillman kept the bargain
with one exception. removing Trial
Justice Bolger and appointing in his
stead J. F. Br,tten. Tillmanite. This
makes Bolger mad, as it was said be
could be reappointed if he could prove
that he voted for Tillman. 1t seems
that he was the only one of the ring. or
regulars, who voted for Haskell. The
reformers say that they were entirely
abandoned by Tillman. A very large
class Of the white voters are also incen-
sed atthereappointment at Of VIM. Ingless,
malatto, as jury commissioner.

TIE POSTMASTER KILLED.
4 Mississippi Republican Shot by the
Mar he Sought to Murder

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Dec Pa special
to the Ap2eal-Avalanche from Carroll
ton. Miss, says: ~ fatal tragedy oc-
Cured on the principal business street
in this town to-day at Il O'Clock noon,
in which John Prentiss Matthews, the
Republican postmaster at This place,
was killed by W. S. Mcbride, wealthy
and prominent Young druggist here.
Matthews was walking toward the drug
store of Mcbride s. Co., armed with q
Winchester rifle, when Mcbride stepped
toward him and fired the fatal shot
while Matthews had his gun uplltted
and was preparing to shoot Nc Bride.
On last night Matthews HAD an alter
cation with Mcbride at the postotiice.
Mcbride went to the Office after his
mail. and Matthews began cursing and
abusing him. which led to personal
encounter. This hostile feeling was re-
newcd this morning by Matthews appear
ing on the streets armed with a VIM
chester rife, with large pistol on him,
whoopng. cursing and threatening to
Kill young Mcbride. He paraded the
streets several hours this way until he
was placed under arrest by the Sheriff.
He was carried before the Mayor and
released under bonds for his appearance
tomorrow morning.
After few inmates he went COVE the
street toward the drug store, where lie
was killed.
He has rendered himself very odioas
to the people of this community by his
offensive conduct while he lad been
here as the carpetbag postmaster OF TIM
present administration. He had beee
before the officers here almost every
week on various charges of drunkenness,
profanity, carrying concealed weapons,
assaults and battery, and other otfenses.
He took possession Of a passenger tram
on the Georgia Pacific Railroad while
drunk, and was only conquered by the
porter and conductor beating him down
and disarming HIM, for which he Is now
under Indictment in the Courts OF Web
ster and this (Carroll) County. His
administration Of the office has
been miserable. Mcbride is a very
peaceful and quiet young men, indus
trious and popular, and public sentl-
n1ent is highly in his favor because he
was goaded into the difficulty by Mat
thews's canduct.

Negro Supremacy It's Chief Obstacle in
the Southern States.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. 25.-The
leaders III the Farmers Alliance move
ment are unit in opposition to the
projects Of Gen. John H. Rice and others
to hold a National Convention in Gin
cinnati. February 25. to form a third
party. They all declare that the time
has not yet come when the Alliance men
of the Carolinas, Mississippi, Louisiana
and Florida can be induced to leave the
Democratic party for new organiza-
ton. They say that the fear Of negro
supremacy is an insuperable stumbling
block in the way Of the movement, and
the force bill will. so long as it is alive,
keep white formers united in the DEM
cratic ranks.
Frank McGrath, president OF the
Kansas Farmers Alliance, in an inter-
view to-day said: II am opposed to the
attempt to form a national third party
at this time. The calling OF the con-
yetlon at Cincinnati was premature and
cau result in no good to our cause. The
South is hardly ready for it yet. but 1t
Is coming around.
-z5ssThe Farmers Alliance offers the
only solution Of the negro question,
and the Southern farmers. both white
and black. are beginning to recognize 1t.
Nrthing can be done, however, while
the people are agitated over the force
bill. The colored Farmers Alliance has
membership of 10000 in Georgia,
$4,000 IN Florida, $4,000 in Tennessee,
10000 in louisiana, $4,000 in Missls-
sippi and 25, 900 in each Of the Carollnas.
Their affairs are conducted. if possible,
on better business basis than ours.
The very name Of Democracy is re-
pulsiye to them, and the more intelli-
gent OF them recognize that their only
hope of suffrage is through third
pafss~It will all come about in time,
but it is something that cannot be forced
upon the Southern people,"

',r.kers Deep Laid Plot.

WASHINGTON. ~. u. Oe(. -O.-Dotti
Of the great leaders of Ohio Republicans,
Sherman and Mckinley, have reached a
stage at which they must make a desper-
ate fight for their very existence. There
are powerful forces at work to destroy
them both, and the country will watch
the contest with interest. The State
Legislature of Ohio. which is to be elect
ed next Fall will chooses a successor to
Senator Sherman. and at the time tnatt
j. elected 9 Governor vii! also be chosen,
Senator Sherman will be again in the
saddle, and so Mckinley.
It will be political life or death strug-
Gle for both, for unless they are success
full both will sin! back into the obscurlty
Of private citizenship. Both will meet
bitter opposition form the same source
the men who were lately the followers
Of Governor Foraker. These men have
an oath bound organization within the
Republican party, with branches in SIX
ty-seven of the Lightweight counties OF
the State, and a meeting of the leaders
of this organization was held in Colum-
bus few days ago to formulate plans
for the accomplishment OF their pur-
poses, the beginning of which is the
defeat OF both Sherman and Mckinley.
They concludedto kill off enc with the
other. They decided to divert the atten-
ton of the masses of Republicans from
Mckinley, who is generally named as
the man who ought to be nominated for
Governor. by springlng the name OF Sem
ator Sherman for the Governorship, with
the design Of so dividing the opposing
forces as to open way for man OF
their own.
Within last few days, consequent
", a great deal has been said and pub
lished as to the proprie!y of Sherman
rounding out his political career as Gov
ernor Of his native State, which he has
served so long. This kind oftalk had its
origin at this meeting, and goes on with
out the ap ,roval of Sherman.
The next thing to do was to select
candidate-a real candidate-for the
Governorship. The Foraker men settled
upon Major Morey Of Hamilton. who
represents the Seventh District in the
present House Off presentatives. Maj
or Morey was il Columbus while the
meeting wss neld, although he was not
as 1t tsleo meeting. He was summoned
from Washington by a telegram, and
was met at the depo by delegation,
who had conference with him and OBJ
tanned his full assent to the scheme.
General Asa Bushnell was the fovor-
ite, but it was feared that his connection
with the s35, 900, 900 harvester combine,
which is looked upon with great distavor
by the Farmers Alliance, would be
serious handicap to him. So Major
Morey was nominated. The candidate
for the Senate against Sherman was not
determined upon. But it was agreed
that the organization should take care
that the right men should be elected to
the legislature.
A warm friend Of Senator Sherman
WHO is here from Ohio tonight says that
Sherman had thoughtto retire from pub
liclife at the close OF his present term,
and would have done so had he not been
made aware Of the plans of the plottcrs.
Then he concluded that he would make
another race just to viudiCate himself
and prove that he was not to be frozen.

TRUE TO THE FAITH.
SOUTHERN FARMERS WILL STAND BY
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

President McGrath Realizes that the
Third Party Movement Cannot Com
mand the Support Of the Southern Ali
ance Men at this Time, and that the
Issue Must be Postponed.
TOPEKA, KAN. December 29.-The
following interview with President Frank
NcGrath, published to-day, would indi-
cate that the Alliance has for the pres
snt decided to drop the Third Party
movement. He says:
1.-The agitation in the South over the
Lodge bill precludes the possibility OF
any independent movement at this time.
While in Ocala investigated conditions
as thoroughly as my limited stay would
permit, and l came to the conclusion
that more time was needed. 1t will
come abou. in time, but the time IS not
this year."
The delegation OF Kansas editors which
has returned from a tour through the
South, having made thorough ivestlga-
ton of the Farmers Movement there,
found that large majority OF Southern
farmers believe in working for their re-
forms within the Democratic party. In
Louisiana, tor example, the editors found
few if any advocates Of the Third Party
movement. The president Of the Alli-
ance in that State, Thomas S. Adams,
secretary of the State board ofagriculture,
in conversation with a correspondent
whoaccumpanied the Kansas delegation,
said:
1.-The political conditions IN this State
preclude the possibility ofau independent
political movement at this time. W ltl
us it is battle for white supremacy, and
any movement which wilt divide the
white people politically will not IND
favor"
The editors found that Adams eS-
pressed the sentiment pretty generally
held by Southerpers, and for this reason
they also concluded it would be impossl-
BILE to do anything with the movement
at the present time.
