WINSTON, N. C., Sept. 28.-Dr. Exum,
Peoples party candidate for governor,
pissed through the city on his campaign
tour. While here he was interviewed
on the political situation. He said: THE
Third party is the strongest in the east
ern part of the state, though it has a
strong following in the west | think il
will get majority of the white votes all
over the state. My figures for the three
parties are these: Peoples, 10000, of
which 90, 900 will come from the Demo
Gratis and 80, 900 from the Republicans.
The voting strength of the two old par.
ties was 10000 Democrates and 120, 900
Reaublicans. OF the voters who have
come over to us / expect that 10000 will
go back to the Democrats and 1000 To
the Republicans by the election. In
that event the votes would stand: Peo.
PIES party, 100000: Republicans, 95, 900
Democrats, between 10000 apd 80 900. l
believe the majority Of our iSlninees.foI
the legislature and congress will be
elected" In speaking of the national
nominees, DIR. Exum was firm in the be-
lief that Weaver would carry the state.

INDIANAPOLIs Sept 26.-There is a
conflict of jurisdiction betwt0 on the city
and the United States that is causing
considerable comment in local circles.
Some days ago the city contracted with
an electric light company to put up 500
lights, and the company began erecting
the poles. The workmen reached the
arsenal grounds and began erecting poles.
When Major Varney, in command of the
of regulars and ordered charge on the
worlmen with fixed bayonets. This
was unanswerable argument, and the
workmen fled, leaving their tools in pos
session of the victors. Why Varney OBJ
jects to the poles being placed upon the
grounds is not known, and he declines
to give any explanation. The matter
will be carried to the federal court.

ligious sect gathered from miles around
to celebrate. "Apple Butter Day." or
the 2Sd day Of September, is the ami
versary of the landing of their ancestors
on American shores. Instead of devour-
ing roast turkey and pumpkin pie, as do
the New Englanders In commemoration
of the first harvest of the Pilgrims, the
bread spread with apple butter. Each
farmer brought, besides his wife and
children, big mug of apple butter and
big brown loaf of homemade bread.
Shortly after noon these plain, but in
dustrious folk, enjoyed with quiet grace

TE1 ELECTORAL COLLEGE,.
A Question Raised as to the Meaning Of
the Constitution.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 90. - William
Walker, in letter to the Washington
Post raises question in connection with
the approaching electi on that may be of
Importance, as it certainly is of interest
Referring to the generally accepted
theory that the Electoral college of 1899
will contain 444 votes Mr.. Walker says:
Paragraph 2, section l, article of the
constitution is as follows: Each state
shall appoint in such manner as the leg.
islature thereof shall determine mum.
Der of electors equal TO the whole mum.
Der of senators und representatives to
which the state may be entitled In the
congress
(Which congress does this refer is the
question. Is it the one in existence or
the one in the future. The Fifty-third
congress, upon which is based the 444
electoral votes, cannot exist until after
the next president and vice president
shall have been elected. If the member.
ship Of the Fifty.second congress shall
decide the election in case there should
not be AN election by the electoral col.
lege and not the Fifty-third congress,
why is it that an electoral college based
on the new apportionment under which
the f1fty-third congress is to be elected
Is to decide the election"

NIAGARA FALLS, Sept. 26.-With her
head hanging down toward dizzy
gorge, 100 feet below, and tightly
wedged between the iron stays on the
new suspension bridge, Mrs. Gremason,
who is woman weighing 200 pounds,
and is from Toronto, seemed in immi
nent danger of frightful death. She
was walking across the new bridge when
suddenly she slipped off the edge of the
narrow footwalk. In her frantic strug
gle to regain her feet she pitched down
over the edge and between the iron stays
Her death seemed certain, but Rev
John Ramsey, who accompanied her
sprang over the railing and grasped o
cable, lowering himself to the lowest
girder, and caught the woman. They
clung there together and just as theil
tired muscles were giving away, Chisf
Of Police Young lowered ropes and
pulled the two safely on the bridge.

One of the CooIeys Sentenced.

UNIoNTewN, Pa, Sept. CO. Albert
Cooley, brother of the outlaw leader,
Frank Cooley, was called before Judge
1ngraham for sentence, having been con.
victed in the criminal court of stabbing
Henry Kyle in 1873. His attorney urged
that the allegation that Albert had been
keeping the Cooley gang posted was un-
true. Numerously signed petitions for
and against clemency were presented to
the court, but the judge stated that the
case was not proper one for suspension
of sentence, and gave Cooley eighteen
months in the penitentiary.

A RAILROAD DISASTER.
Seven Dead and Three Injured
in a Wreck.
CONSTRUCTION TRAIN TELEsooPED.

A Disastrous Accident on the Chi.
cago and Great Western Railroad.
A Freight Train Crashes Into q
Construction Train-Awful Scenes
at the Wreck.
MASON Cry, Ia, Sept 26.-Seven
dead and three injured is the result Of a
railroad wreck which occurred at New
Hampton, A construction crew had
been at work on the main line Of the
Chicago Great Western replacing rails,
and they were ordered out from Elma to
work south on the road. About 10 a. m,
they pulled into New Hampton on the
main track and stopped so do some work.
The through freight was due at the lat
ter point at 10. Is.
The freight was little behind time
and was running on orders not to stop at
New Hampton. The road enters New
Hampton from the north, but within
sixty rods makes turn. There is bad
turn in the road, and it is rendered still
worse by grove which entirely shuts
out the vision until within forty rods OF
the station.
Six Instantly Killed.
The train was going at the rate OF
about thirty miles and hour. When
within about ten rods of the caboose of
the construction train the freight engi-
neer saw the peril confronting him and
yelled to his firemen to jump. He re-.
versed the lever and both left the en-
gine. 1t was just in time to save their
lives, for moment later the engine
smashed into the caboose, fairly splitting
it in two, and engine, caboose and three
freight cars were piled up in a promis-
cuous mass. The engine was buried in
three feet Of earth. In the eaboose Of
the construction train were at least
twelve persons, and six of these were
killed outright, one has since died, three
are dangerously injured and two are un-
accounted for.
1t is thought very probable that the
latter are buried under the wreckage 1t
is known positively that one more man
is under the engine, for part of him
can be seen.
Scenes at the Wreck.
The work Of clearing up is very slow,
the timbers heavy and the facilities in.
adequate, A crowd of curious men,
women and children crowd in and
around the wreck, but many are too
faint hearted to witness some of the sick
ening sights.
One man, as he was taken out of the
wreck, had great hole plowed through
his body, another his entrails literally
torn out, exposing his heart, while others
were so terribly mutilated as to be un.
recognizable. A part of the wearing
apparel Of lady has been taken out and
it is thought that she may be buried
