E. Watson, the third psrtyite, tried for two
hours to make a speech at the capitol to =

way for him, and Watson sought his hotel,

and threatened to do him all sorts of per-
sonal humiliation. While the dsmonstra-
tion reflected upon those who committed it,
In some measure, yet the character of the
speech which Watson attempted TO

Weaver attempted TO address crowd OF
third partyites and hoodlums from the ball
cony Of the Hotel Lanier tonight, but the

THE FORT WAYNE WRECK
THE NUMBER OF DEAD NOW RE-
DUCED TO ELEVEN.

The Charred Remains OF the Women
Identifed-Caused by a Blunder, But
It's Responsibility Not Placsd-Au
Trace of Baggage and Express Mat
ter Wiped Out-About $4,000 In
Bills Burned.
PIrTSBURG, Sept. 22.-It is now definitely
known that there were but two women and
one child burned in the Fort Wayne rail-
road wreck at Shreve, instead of three
women, as at first reported. This reduces
the number OF dead to eleven. The charred
remains OF the women have been identified
as Mrs. +. Scnalley and her sister, Miss
Campbell Mrs. Sohalley was the mother
OF the child killed 10 the wreck. They lived
at Buoyrus, and were on their way to
EspyvilIe. The only body not yet recov-
cred is that of F. C. Mann, postal clerk OF
Chicago.
CAUSED BY A BLUNDER.
The wreck was caused by a olunder, but
who was responsible for it has not yet de-
veloped. Supt. Starr said this morning
that there was no confusion of orders, as
there were no orders. No one knows why
the freight pulled out, but the supposition
is that the fast freight running between the
limited east and No. wenG hy and the
freight crew took it for No. 8. How such q
mistake should occur Mr.. Starr does not
know, as he has not seen either the en-
gineer or conductor Of the freight train.
WIPED OUT By FIRE.
Fire completely wiped out all trace Of
baggage and express matter, and the mail
and some of the bodies of the killed. There
Is not remnant or a bone 20 be found of
one of the postal clerks, the express messen-
ger, or the two ladies who were going from
Buoyrus TO Espyvills. The financial loss
by the wreck cannot be estimated. It is
reported that in the mail burned there was
about S80,000 in bills. This is only what
was in the registered packages. The ex-
press matter was sll burned, except thirty
six silver bricks, worth at least S75, 900.
These we're taken out Of the car yesterday
afternoon. Probably fifty or sixty pieces
Of baggage were destroyed, but what tneir
value was the company as yet do not know.
A temporary track has been constructed
which enables the trains to proceed around

FORTRESS moNRoB's TsoUBLR

No Action Taken Looking to the Re
moval of the Citizens Quarter.
WASHINGTON, Sept, 22.-The citizens
living on the government reservation at
Fortress Monroe are now in an unpleasant
position, apparently decided by the war
department, by failure TO obey the order
issued some months ago directing them to
submit plans and specifications for the
proper sewerage in the citizens quarter Of
the fort. This order required them to
submit their plans to congress by
Sept under penalty of removal from the
reservation if they refused to comply with
1t. They failed TO do this and the result ts
the engineer officer having charge of that
district has recommended to the Secretary
of War that they be removed from the
reservation at once.
NO ACTION YET TAKEN.
Mr.. Elkins is absent from the city and
the Assistant Secretary of War saws so FAR
no action has been taken by the depart
ment to enforce the provisions of
1868, citizens residing on the reservations
outside Of the fort are thereby sufferant and
to be removed from their premises at any
time at the will of the government. The
condition of the sewerage is very imperfect,
the ground being a slight degree above the
level OF the sea, and the refuse is carried Off
only a short distance to be brought back by
the incoming tide. To adopt the plan pro
posed by the war department would put
those on the reservation to considerable
expense, but if they fail to comply with the
requirement. of the department they are
liable TO be elected from the grounds.
PLANS SUBMITTED.
Parties doing business on the reservation
here have submitted plans of sewerage
which 1t is thought will be acceptable to the
war department and secure a revocation Of
the order to close Oct. 1.

He Makes a Stirring Address to the
People of Wilcox,
ABBEvILLE, GA, Sept. 22-In response
to an invitation from the citizens of Abbe-
vile Judge Crisp addressed the people Of
Wilcox county here to-day, in Beaton's hall,
on the political issues OF the day. A large
delegation Of citizens met the distinguished
Georgian on his arrival at the depot, and
when he alighted from the train was greeted
with enthusiastic cheers. A carriage
in waiting conducted him to the
elegant residence OF L. z. WimberIy, whose
guest he was while in AbbeVille. At 1880
o'clock a. m. Judge Crisp was introduced
in an eloquent address by Col. E. II. Will
iams to one OF the largest audiences ever
convened 10 AbbeVille. His address was a
most admirable one, covering the whole
ground OF the democratic national platform,
and delivered in plain and simple though
forcible language. The burden OK his adj
dress related TO tariff reform, and the bur-
den and hardships of a high protective tariff
on the masses Of the people was most lu-
oidly explained.
The FORCE BILL,
the banking system and free coinage of
silver were all discussed in mastery and
convincing style, but the climax OF the ad-
dress was not reached till the third party
and its platform were arraigned and anni-
hilated TO the satisfaction of his audience.
II there was third party man in the large
audience his bead nor his hand were visible.
AT the conclusion Of the address the crowd
rushed forward and gave their idol an ova-
tion that may be more easily imagined than
described.
Abbeville is still building houses for
business purposes and residences, and as
soon as completed they are occupied
The excessive rains of the past week have
seriously impaired the open cotton. The

good. TIE timber. lumber and turpentine

Davis spoke in Americus to-day. About
200 blind followers from Sumter, schley,
Macon, Marion and Lee counties greeted
him. His speech is not worthy to be re.
ported He read from the constitution
that each marine port in this country ia
entitled to its share of COM
ulerce. Therefore all commercial products
must be delivered to the nearest port of
entry. To ship elsewhere IL q violation OF
the constitution of the United States. This
is only a sample OF his reckless and un-
reasonable demands.

of much force, though 1t had but little effect
upon Davis blind followers.
NEGRO SUPPORT REPUGNANT.
Your correspondent Tonight mad an inter-
view with Hon. H. 7. Hollis of Marion, who
recently declined the nomination for con-
gress against Moses in the Fourth
districf. He said that to have been
elected he would have been compelled
to solicit negro support with promises re-
pugnant to southern sentiment. To do this
he could not gee his willing consent. He
thinks by stopping to obtain negro support
by questionable methods, Turner will defeat
Moses. Mr.. Hollis was gallant southern
soldier, aud while confesaing third party
sympathies, he evidently still has in his
heart the sentiments Of true southern naan-
hood.
