A WEST VIRGINIA WAR.
Mountaineers Join Forces to Protect a
Criminal and One Is Killed.

CLARKsBURG, W. Va, Jan. 3i.-What
promises TO be a serious mountain war be-
gan Wednesday night in Doddridge
county. A man named Perkins, of Rul-
ings Mills, was arrested, charged with Sc
duction. A mob, headed by Nose Smith.

oner. The officer went to West Union,
secured warrants for the ring-leaders,
summoned a large posse and returned to
the mountain, surrounded the house in
which the leaders had taken refuge and de-
manded their surrender. On being re-
fused, they opened fire and fatally shot
Smith and his son-in-law, Cottrell. The
fire was returned, killing Chief Deputy Hos
kins.
Smiths son. a boy of L., attacked Deputy
Ramsay, cutting him severely. Smith
was finally captured and taken in
his wounded condition to prison, but
Perkins was not captured. Fifteen war
rants have been issued for parties con-
nected with the riot, and the sheriff, ac-
companied by many assistants, have left
to endeavor to capture them. 1t is re-
ported that the mountaineers are gathering
to resist the officers, all heavily armed, and
bloody time is anticipated.

TOPEKA, KAN, Nov. 10-The defeat Of
the Peoples party county tickets in this
state was rot half so crushing as the dis
patches have indicated. The Democrats
can derive more consolation from the re-
turns than either tn new party or their old
opponents. The only thing demonstrated is
that the Democratic party with 81, 900 voters
holds the balance of power. 1t was neces-
sary to defeat the Peoples party candidates
for judges in order to show this and force
combinations next fall. The Peoples party
leaders were convinced that they had a
clear-cut majority in the state and would
not even consider Democratic propositions
to fuse, no matter how advantageous the
combinations would be to them. They
thought such thing as combination be-
nocrats and Republicans was i'm
- -. and that the Democrats, seeing the
of electing a straight ticket,
would vote for and elect the Peoples ticket
as they did last fau. The Democrats were
disguised and the Republicans met them
half way. As result the political situation
is more complicated than ever before. The
Peoples party has better politicians inter-
ested in its success than it has ever had,
and it also mas more to contend against.
In 1892 the Democrats will be offered
something for their $1,000 votes. This ex-
plains their exultation over the Alliance de-
feat The Republicans are already boasting
that they will be able to carry the state in
1899 over the combined opposition, aAd look
for the Alliance to fall to pieces. Any COM
parison. however, which can be made of
the Peoples party vote last fall and this
shows that it has held its strength remark
ably we'll The Alliance lea !ers have al
ready begun work on the next campaign.
Within the past few days their best politi-
clans have met in this city and started their

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov 10.-The people
are crying for water. \ famine has struck
this city and the inhabitants on the out
skirts are III a pitiable state. water,
water! Oh, God give me water" shouted
200 hundred women who huddled around q
small spring in West Nashville Nothing
like it has ever been experienced in the
South before. For whole days some faIui-
lies have gone without cooking. buying food
already prepared. Water for drinking pur-
poses has TO be hauled two miles, and ulcers
are breaking out in the parched mouths OF
those who have to beg for water. Certain
misers in the city who have springs near
the outskirts are charging enormous sums
for one draught of the previously plentiful
fluid.
The sick, who are forced by fever to use
water. are in awful agony because OF the
famine.
Well-to-do women have TO walk Z mile or
more with buckets on their heads and beg
water of their more fortunate neighbors.
A slight rain fell here to-day, and troughS,
barrels, buckets and tubs were set out to
catch the drops. People have been praying
for rain for days, and tO-day's rain may
break up the famine. The situation is SO
horrible that the districts crying for water
have just been annexed to the city, and the
water department is now extending its
works to the suffering community. The fra
companies cannot obtain water To play on
the numerous fires breaking out in the dis
trict. Crops in the country near by are
badly Scorched.
