Democratic State Executive Com
mittee.

Democratic State Executive Com
The session of the committee in
this city yesterday was largely at
tended, the proceedings harmonious,
and the most excellent feeling pre-
vailed. The only action taken by
the committe was the adoption of
the following resolution:
"That the Democratic Executive
Committee for this State hereby en-
dorses and appraves the letter Of
Ed. Chambers Smith, chairman of
this committee, to Mr.. J. G. Filing
ton, dated March 20, 1892, as set
ting forth the proper and true test
as to who shall be entitled to par
ticipate in the township meetings
and conventions of the Democratic
party of North Carolina.
"And we heartily commend the
manly utterances of that letter to
the Democracy of this State"
That part of the letter which the
resolution was passed to emphasize
most reads as follows:
'The requisite that a citizen mast
vote fer the candidate he has been
instrumental in naming is no new
one, and is essential tc the preserva-
ton of the integrity of the party.
I should say therefore that only
those who are Democrats and intend
to support the Democratic nominees
can have a voice in naming delegates
to the various Democratic conven.
tions"
This is nothing more than old
time Democratic doctrine, and is
meant to preserve the honor, and
thereby the integrity of the
Democratic party. 1t prescribes
no new tests, but simply asserts
that those who do not intend
to vote for the nominees of Demo-
cratic conventions will not be quail
flied to participate as delegates in
such conventions. No one who
wants to be politically honest should
object to such a precaution. 1t has
always been taken and should be-

INVADED By BEES.
The Odd Plight of Court Crier Smith and
His worlymen Yesterday.

Court Crier Thomas B. Smith, who
was occupied Thursday in repairs at his
confectionery store, No. 617 Market
street, which was recently damaged by
fire, was suddenly invaded by myriads
of bees. They at length came in such
immense swarms that he and his work
men had to stop work.
The army of invaders came in at the
rear of the store. Out in the yard where
three barrels of damaged candy had been
piled the bees were already so thick that
it was dangerous to go too near. Heroic
measures were necessary and at length
Mr.. Smith discovered negro who
claimed that he and his team were bee
proof. The negro rolled the barrels out
of the back yard, placed them on the
wagon and drove off.
Mr.. Smith says it was the strangest
sight he ever saw in his life. AS the
team trotted away it was followed by a
long dark cloud of candy-hunting bees
who flew along loudly humming their
discomfort at the robbery. The negro
did not seem to care, nor did his horse
There were still myriads of bees in the
yard. AT last someone suggested the
water.hose. 1t took little time to flood
the yard, But the method was entirely
successful. Every faint of candy was
washed and sluiced off and soon the
plague OF bees diminished. The water
cure was thoroughly effective.

DELAWARE ,S WELCOME.
The Way the Diamond State Was Re-
ceiyed at the Manhattan Club.

National Committeeman Lewis @.
Vandegrift, who returned Thursday
from the Presidential notification cere-
monies at Madison Square Garden, New
York city, says the Delaware delegation
was received at the Manhattan Club
with marked attentions. The club
house is the old A. 7. Stewart marble
mansion, at Thlrty-fourth street and
Fifth avenue. Their invitation was for
7.30 O'Clock, and they were told there
would be carriages to take them later to
Madison Square Garden. They were
escorted through the club-rooms and
met numbers Of city and other notabili-
ties, including Commissioner Gilroy,
Comptroller Meyer, Register Fitzgerald,
party included Mr.. Vandegrift, Pro-
thonotary Horty, Senator Donohoe,
Register E. T. Cooper and q. G..
Hardesty.
Laterin the evening Mr.. Cleveland
arrived accompanied by Mr.. Stevenson,
MIR. Whitney, Governor Albeit, Don
Dickinson, Lieutenant-governoT Shee-
han, Tammany Chief Richard Croker.
They were allintroduced at the garden.
The Delawareans had the good fortune
OF being provided With seats on the
platform only few feet away from Mr..
Cleveland.
THE spectacle was simply wonder
full" Mr.. Vandegrift said at was a
gathering of heads packed SO closely
together you could not distinguish be-
tween them. Il was sea of faces.
Mr.. Cleveland's Grafton was very fine.
He was looking better than ever saw
him before, and / have seen him.quite a
a number of times. He impressed us
with the idea of dignity and power. He
was in splendid voice, and in my
opinion was by far the best speaker
of the evening. His address took the
audience by storm. It's effect was in
describable. 1t was a remarkable mo-
men6 when he referred in his quiet, re-
strained manner to the stealthy hand of
the Force bill.
"When Mrs. Cleveland made her
entrance the people went wild. The
strongest feature that left its impress
upon US was the feeling Of what intlu-
ence and impetus the results OF the
gathering would affect every polling
place of every district in the country.

Demolished.

The Condition of the Occupants of No.
4Io French Street. The House Ordered
Demolished. -.-5.
A representative of the GAZETTE called
Thursday morning at the house, No. 4l0
French street, which Building Inspector
Daniel Dohl has ordered torn down within
50 days. Mr.. Dohls reason for issuing
this peremptory order is that the structure
is unfit for human habitation.
Thursday mornings investigation of the
premises revealed facts which fully
warrant the officials order. The building
is a twostory frame structure in extreme
dilapidation. The rafters in the upper
rooms are falling through the ceiling al
f0rding view Of the sky. The walls and
al the surroundings of the house are in
the same bad condition.
The worst feature of the story, however.
is the pitiful condition of the occupants
Of the house These comprise three peo'
plea widow somewhat advanced in
years, her daughter, who is lunatic, aged
20 or 80, and the widows father-in-law,
aged Sc. The last mentioned is David
MCCullen, whom citizens of the past gen

ness man in the bottling trade 1t Fifth anu

his daughter-in-law said to the reporter
Thursday. Mr.. McCullen is too weak
to take care of himself and requires con
slant care. Between the Old man, almost
nouagenarian, and the crazy daughter,
the widow has more than she can attend
to. The daughter is a fine, well-grown
stulwart woman. but is as helpless AS the
old grandfather, She requires constant
watching by her mother. She is entirely
incapable of the simplest household duty
and at times is as Maynard as child.
Why don't YOU send her to the insane
asylum ?' the reporter asked,
The mother put her hand to her heart
and shook her mead, shes the only
daughter have"
1t seems that the only means the widow
has are the few pennies" referred to and
whatever help sympathizing friends give
her. She has relatives. But they, she says,
do not assist her.
This is the widows own story told in
the passagcway this morning On one
side was the room where the poor old man
sat, helpless and half dressed at the side OF
his bed, and on the ether in the kitchen
the simpeton daughter mumbling crazy
singsong us she stared at the visitor and
picked the threads from her cotton gown.
According to the building Inspector
mandate the trio will be evicted within u
month.
It is understood that the owner of the
property which once belonged to David
McCullen is n Philadelphian.

The accident occurred on the sharp curve
on the Wilmington & Northern railroad,
midway between the r., W. d b. tracks
and the Newport pike The time was about
80 o'clock. Train No. II was due in this
city at 2,22 o'clock but was few minutes
late yesterday afternoon.
Fennimore had finished milking his
cows and was driving them out 10 pasture

tracks. Just as he was about to drive
them across the tracks Baltimore & Ohio
train came around the curve. lie waited
until it passed and then began 10 round up
the cattle in order TO rush them rapidly
across the tracks, The cows had gotten
right in the middle of the track when train
No, IA came laundering around the curve.
The engineer, Adam II. FranciScus, was
unable to stop the train or avert the acct
deat. The engine plunged into the herd
of cattle and sent them sprawling in every
direction. Some of the cattle were hurled
20 feet through the air. One COW was
hurled horizontally along the track until
it struck Waterman Lawrence Kettle
wood, knocking him down. He was
thrown to the ground with some force but
was not badly injured.
Ten Of the cows were instantly killed.
The others had their legs broken and were
so badly mangled that they had to be
killed. An Italian laborer Knocked them
in the head with . sledge. The engine was
not damaged beyond having its pilot some
what broken, Railroad men consider 1t
almost miracle that the train was not
wrecked. Tho cars were filled with pas

which the train was running is believed to
have alone averted the wrecking of the
