CHICAGO, H., June ia Topeka,
Kansas, special says: Returns received
by the Alliance Executive Committee
from sub Alliances which were asked
to pass Judgment on the work done by
the Cincinnati convention, are far from
encouraging the Peoples Party politi
clans. 1t is known that twenty five
sub. Alliances have repudiated the third
party movement. Fifteen of these have
reported to the State Alliance and ten
to the Republican Central Committee,
Cloud County Alliance has adopted the
Following resolutions:
Whereas the South was not represent
ed in the Cincinnati convention; and
whereas we believe that the third
party will disrupt the Republican party
70 the benefit Of the Democratic party,
therefore be it resolved, that we aban.
don the third party to return to our
past aililiation.
These resolutions, it is said, have
COUPLED significance, because Cloud
County is the home of Senator Wheel ler,
the only Alliance member Of the SEN
ate, and has always been considered q
Peoples Party stronghold. r,

a Terrible Accident.

BERNE, June 15.-Further details re.
ceived from the scene of the terrible
railroad accident which occurred yester-
day at a village near Basle Railroad,
show that two engines and three car
riages loaded with excurslonists fell in
to the stream which flowed beneath an
iron bridge which gave way and caused
the disaster. These carriages and en-
gines now form hopeless heap of
wreckage beneath the bridge structure
and by its own size prevented two other
carriages, which were suspended prac-
tically III the air, from falling and still
further increasing the number Of kille
and wounded. At this hour eighty ex-
cursiOnist are known to have been
drowned, though many of the bodies
have not been recovered yet. OF the
large number Of persons injured many
have suffered so seriously that it
is considered likely that their injuries
will terminate fatally, as they consist
of bad lacerations, and in some cases
limbs have been completely severed
The bridge or viaduct which collapsed
and caused the accident had only recent
ly been built and had just been strength
ened after sustaining damage.

ATLANTA, Ga, June 12.-Mr. John
Carey tells good story at the expense
of two we'll known Atlanta men, one of
them Mr.. Carey himself, and the other
his friend Mr.. Vaughn.
"Mr.. Vaughn and / were coming
through South Carolina the other day"
said Mr. Carey, in telling the story, land
were naturally keeping our eyes open,
discussing the looks of the lands, it's
possibilities and it's probabilities. BE-
hind us sat One-eyed gentleman who
seemed to listen quite attentively, and
who, as we discussed matters particula,-
ly pertaining to the farmers and ag-
riculturists, leaned over and Joined in
our conversation. lie talked of the
fertility Of the soil, the possibilities
with the intensive system of farming,
and of the use Of fertilizers in way
which showed that he was thoroughly
posted. Both of Ills put our new found
friend down as being a fertilizer agent.
Then, naturally enough, we branched
off on politics. Mr.. Vaughn expressed
in pretty strong language his opinion
Of the Governor of South Carolina. lie
said he hadn't much confidence in Till
man. Our friend suggested that possibly
we did not know the Governor-that
possibly we did him an injustice.
"I es, said Mr. Vaughn, but haven't
much use for Il man who will 60 around
in q political campaign with a body
guard OF great red shirt followers to
help him out intimidating the other
crowd, and all that
"Well.' laughed our friend, you
didn't believe that, did you"

lieve it is true.
''The other gentleman laughed heart
lily, aud turned Off the conversation by
saying: "You don't believe everything
you see in the newspapers, do you
Our talk was on the same line for 4
few minutes" said Mr.. Carey, "our
Carolinian all the time speaking father
charity Of Governor Tillman, but de-
Tending him mildly whenever he was
suggested. Finally we got to his get
ting-Otr place, and shaking hands with
us he moved Off. While he was stand.
ing on the platform we noticed that he
seemed to be very popular, and every
body seemed to know him. Turning
to some gentlemen who had been laugh
ing considerably as they overheard our
conversation, we asked who that gen
tleman was. You can imagine how we
felt when they told us he was none
other than Governor Tillman.
"As | said," continued Mr.. Carey,
"what struck him particularly about the
| Governor was his readiness at answer
ing us, his evident large information
upon the subjects we touched upon
his force and manner Of putting things
lie wasn't inclined to call a spade Dy
any other name than that used in the

VIII Fight the Pistol License.

CHARLESTON, 5. G., June 1G.-The
State is about to have another vexatious
law suit thrust upon its hands, growing
out Of an Act of the last Legislature.
The law providing for license of 5000
for the sale Of pistols and pistol car
trldges, which goes into effect on the
I'D instant, will he resisted by the man
ufacturers Of these articles. They have
retained Mordecai and Gadsden, law
yers of this city, and have instructed
them to resist the payment of license
IN every County in the State where an
attempt is made to enforce the collec.
tion or the tax. Dealers throughout
the State will be notified that the man
utacturers will pay all the expenses Of
the litigation. The fight will probably
De transferred to the Federal courts
The ground upon which the law is to
be resisted is the decision of the United
States Supreme Court known as the
original package case, in which it was
held that a license on goods sent from
one State to another in the original
package was unconstitutional The
tight promises to be as interesting as
the Coosaw case and the railroad and
bank assessment cases. The fight will
be made by manufacturers in New
York, Boston, Hartford Chicago and
| other cities.-Columbia Register

COld-IBlOotied Murder.

LEXINGTON, S. c., June 14-Sherin
Drafts returned this evening from the
Hollow Creek section of this county,
where he had been in search of William
Woods, who killed Lizzie Dreher yes
terday, as reported exclusively in The
State this morning. Woods could not
he found. When last seen he was go
ing in the direction of Columbia. From
what can be ascertaincd of the circum-
stances, the killing has the appearance
of being a cold and premeditated muir
der. The coroner's inquest revealed the
fact that the girl was en- cicntc. She
and Woods had been sweethearts for
some time, and he had promised to
marry her. He became enamored of
another damsCl in the neighborhOod
and the conclusion is that in order to
free himself from the consequences of
his cOurtship with Lizzie, he decided to
put her out of the way. Yesterday,
just after dinner. she went down to the
spring, about 800 yards from her house
Woods followed her and shot her in the
head. Its very likely he will be caught,
as several are in pursuit Of him.-The

presbyteries as possible doubters and
revolutionists, to be tested with es-
peciM severity. Their very graduation
from such . school will enable them
to start out with the presump tion
that they are orthodox. A candidate for
the ministry may be rejected for lack Of
orthodoxy, but he will never BIO put aside
because he is too orthodox. Even the lib
erals will have to let him pass. Churches
will support him at the seminary, and his
