with paralysis on the street Wednesday
afternoon, died at the Tim house at T:20
Thursday. He never rcgaincd conscious
and passed into the other world without

paralysis of one side forced clotted blood
to the brain, which no doubt FASTENED

relief. No arrangement have been made
for the funeral pending the arrival of
telegraphic adviccs from the east from

ally understood that the remains will be
buried here.
The deceased was above the average
height, strong built and in all had the
appearance of a mar who had fought his
way to Il certain extent by hard work.
There seems to he a little misunderstand-
ing among his friends as to his exact age.
some say he was about 80 and others
place his age beyond 10. The probabili-
ties are that he was in the ncighborhOod
of % years of age. He owned interests

Just east of the Security bank building.
A. r. Dickcrmon and l.. G. Phelps were
the purchasers. The price the property
brought was an oven $4,000 or 800 a

The Memphis Gathering of the Anti-Sub-
treasury Alliance OF.
". 8. McAllister Of Mississippi, chairman Of
the national executive committee of the Anti
subtreasury Alliance, who has been making a
tour of the states where his party is strongest,
found awaiting him here letters from his fellow
committeeman urging him to postpone the
date for national convention called to meet
at Memphis, Tenn, December 16 This call
was issued from indianapolis upon the re-
fusal of the supreme council, after lengthy
debate. to receive the protest of the anti-sub-
treasury party and make the same part of the
record. 1t had previously been determined, in
the advent Of such action by the supreme
council, to perfect distinct organization with
the object of restoring the Farmers Alliance
to its original state of fidelity to its coustitu-
ton.
Chairman McAllster last night issued from
the headquarters of the national executive COM
mittee, Anti-subtreasury Alliance in this city, a
notice stating:
'ln obedience to urgent requests from many
members of the Anti-subtreasury Alliance, the
national convention, called to meet at Mem
pills. Tenn December is. is hereby postponed
to a date which will be hereafter named
=, I he reasons for this action were given by Mr..
McAillster In an interview as he was taking the
train for his home in Canton, Miss. "When
our call was issued" he said, the supreme
council had taken no action OH the third party
question; subsequently it appointed twenty
five delegates to the third party CON
ference set for February % at St.
Louis, Mo. Notwithstanding this action the
national alliance leaders are denying that it is
their purpose to turn the Farmers Alliance
into political party. The result Of the St.
Louis conference will determine their real pur-
pose in the premises, and hence the propriety
Of postponing our national convention"

show rooms were decorated and wore gala
appearance on the occasion of the second even

floor hundreds Of visitors wandered, admiring
the exhibition of furniture, hangings. carpets
and household fittings that were displayed in
artistic groupings. AS one of the results of the
long and prosperous career of this business
house the people Of Washington expect to
find there complete and varied stock Of
goods, but last evening, which was devoted en-
tirey to the Inequalities Of a reception, it was
realized more fully than ever before that this
was one OF the largest retail establishments, of
the kind in the country. No goods were sold,
but the ProprietOrs and employees were on
hand to show the people around. Among the
most attractive parts of the building we're the
show rooms where the hangings
and draperies were displayed, the soft
q rtistic co.ors blending in effective
decoration. tribute was paid to the size Of the
building by visitor, who when asked il he
