THE DEATH PENALTY.


\ copy of the Day, daily paper
Published ut Waco, Tex, gives an ac-
count i'm detail of the hanging on last
Friday of the negro, King Simms, for
the murder in May, 1891, of Edmond
Brandon, near Waco, Texas.
The murdered man was Edmond
Brandon, who was raised in Maury
County and lived here for some time,
and will be remembered by many
CoIumbians. He was a brother of
Walter Brandon, formerly OF the
GAINESVILLE Tobacco Leaf Chronicle.
On the day before the execution the
condemned murderer confessed his
crime. He aud three other negroes
had been working for Mr.. Brandon,
and believing lie had large sum OF
money about the hOHse, made an
agreement to rob him. Simms went
to Mr.. BrandOn's place and secreted
himself until dark, when he procured
an axe, and walking up 10 the door
demanded all the money there was in
the house. Brandon refused to give
him any money, and Simms struck
him with the axe. Thinking he was
dead, the negro searched the place
for money, finding about $40. He
the: returned to where Brandon was
lying bleeding, aud finding that he
was not yet dead, hit him again with
the axe, splitting his head.

TOPEKA, KAN, June 2S.-At a caucus
to-day an open letter was read from EN-
President of the Farmers Alliance,
Frank McGrath, Withdrawing from the
PpODIe'S party. For two years MCGath

leader. He was defeated at the last
State meeting of the Alliance by w. IL.
BiddIe, now the Peoples party candi-
date for the State treasurer. In his let
ter he says:
..The Peoples party has absorbed the
Alliance and nullified its usefulness.
The evidences are numerous in the con
ventions held this year that the middle
man, JacEieg lawyers and town loaterS
are more influential in directing and
controlling the Peoples party than far,

manipuIators made up from both the
Peoples party and Democratic partie

the Peoples party, by ambitious reform

eXtraVagant schemes for paying debts,
