MIR. DIXON AND MIR ST. CLAIR.

Rev. Thomas Dixon Jr., man.
ages to get himself talked about
a great deal, and occasionally he
speaks from the pulpit, the plat
fern and through the press. We
admire his grit and courage, and
have no words Of censure for any
man who pushes himself to the
frontin spite ofobstacles. How
ever the latest sensation of which
he is the hero smells tishy.
In a recent interview in the
New York Press, bloodyshirt-
projection Republican, the
young divine was reported as
saying, in substance, that the sue
cess of the South in the war be-
tween the states would have
been a death blow to American
liberty, fraught with all sorts of
evil results. The southern press
minlstered the rebuke the
words demanded.
Instead of repudiating this in
terview through the paper that
published it, Mr.. Dixon writes
a long letter to tn Atlanta Con-
stitution, and among other
things says:
ssThis alleged interview was
held by a young space writer
lust arrived in New York from
the South, trying to gain a foot
hold in journalism. tried to
help him along by allowing him
to use my name in one OF his re-
ported interviews. That he
might know my opinions on the
matter in which he was iterest-
ed. / gave him the manuscript
copy of my lecture on .The Neg
70 and the South" as the basis
of his report. He was not a
stenographer and could not take
a report of any conversation. !"
After entering a most emphatic
denial of the words credited to
him, he proceeds to tell what he
did say, and this paragraph con-
tains sentiments not altogether
foreign to those expressed in the
interview:
ssThat the principle for which
the South fought was local self
government, as represented by

That Twelfth Plank

From the Charlotte Observer.
A correspondent at Neutral Kansas,
former Catawba man, in the course
of communication to the Newton
Enterprise Gays:
In reading the Enterprise l see that
you devote much space to prove the
twelfth plank of the ST Louis plat
form. | send you clipping from our
! county paper with the platform and
hope you will show it to all who dis
believe the twelfth plank. | will send
a copy of the paper to any one who
may doubt the genuineHess of the clip
ping. No one in Kansas, that know
| doubts this twelfth plank 1t is put
out as vote-catcher here"
The testimony concerning this mat
ter is Overwhelming. There is not a
particle of doubt in the world about
the Union-soldier back pay demand
being one of the planks in the St.
Louis platform, and every man who
is open to conviction and has weighed
the evidence knows it. 1t is not de>
MED anywhere except in the South.

THE SALE REAL ESTATE

The transfer of real estate in
the city might be greatly facili-
tated by an organization OF the
real estate men, giving every
agent an opportunity tosell any
piece of pr, perty that may befor
sale, and allowing the man who
is first to sell to get the commits
sion.
For instance a man who has a
lot for sale would list it with ev-
cry agent in town, the agent first
reporting the sale to the organi-
zation, receiving the commits
sion.
The advantage in this to the
owner of real estate is that he
has instead of one, ali the age hts
in town trying to sell his prop
erty, and of course his chances
to sell are greatly increased.
This plan would create more
competition and more hustle
among the real estate men, but
this would only result in more
active sales and the general good
of the community.
One mai by securing exclusive
contracts for the sale of proper
ty, as is frequently done here
now, can paralyze the realestate
trade, depress prices and do the
community serious harm.

was in the party. AT Lindell Park Mr..
Gompers and others delivered short
addresses on the present relations OF

poets of trades unions.
President Gompers touched lightly
on the troubles at Homestead. He
strongly denounced the methodsand the
interference Of theanarchists in their So
called attempt to settle the trouble. In
brief interview Mr.. Gompers said that
he had been met at various places be-
tween New York and this city by prom
inent labor men, with whom he held
short conferences as to existing
troubles, but he declared that they did
not relate to the Homestead troubles.
The national convention OF the carpen-
ters' union will meet Monday morning
when delegates representing over l50,-
1000 carpenters will be present. The
national convention Of painters will

A'sERPENr IN TIE SKY.
strange Phenomena Seen by Captain

Strange Phenomena seen by Captain
Thompson, OF the Trinaoria.
New York, July S1.-one Of the
strangest phenomena ever witnessed at
sea was described yesterday by Cap
tain Thompson, of the Anchor liner
Trinacria, which arrived from Mediter-
ranean ports, and also by Pilot sulli-
van, Of the David CARL No. 10, who
brought the steamship into New York.
II was In brief an earthquake shock at
sea on July %, followed by the appear
ance in the sky OF a huge fiery serpent,
which stretched from the zenith to the
horizon.
Pilot Sullivan was on board the David
CARL at the; time, as the Trinacria had
not then been sighted. The boat was
in latitude Il degrees % minutes, longi:
tude 65 degrees, or in the vicinity OF
Georges Shoals, south of Cape Sable
An earthquake shock from the north
west was felt at seven o'clock in the
evening. It lasted about six seconds,
as near as the pilot could judge, The
vibration caused the pilot boat to trem-
BILE, but the sea remained calm. Tho
shock was unmistakably that OF an
earthquake; the pilot said.
Hardly had the shock subsidized when
a streak OF light was seen extending
from the zenith to the northwest hori-
zon in the form Of huge serpent: The
reptile gradually tapered from its head,
which appeared to be reared high in
the air, 10 the tail near the horizon. It
lasted for more than three-quarters OF
an hour and then gradually disap-
peared,
Captain Thomson, Of the Trinacria,
says he saw the fiery serpent also at the
same hour, seven p. m. of July 20. His
vessel was then In latitude 40 deg. AZ
min, Longitude 65 deg. min., or about
sixty miles distant from the pilot boats
position. Captain Thomson says he
saw what appeared TO be a fiery cloud
in the northwest. It resembled at first
forked streak OF lightning. Gradually
1t assumed the form Of an immense SER
pent, and, as if to further carry out
the illusion, the serpent began to coil
itself like an enormous spring. Then
the head reared itself as II his snake.
ship had suddenly been disturbed and
was about to strike his fiery fangs into
his opponent.
There were 297 passengers on board,
including thirty bowling dervishes, who
will illustrate the faith of Mohammed
at the Worlds Fair. The passengers all
crowded to the rail to witness the strange
sight, and the dervishes, taking it for a
manifestation of Allah, began to pray
with their faces toward the north.
The vessels barometer had sunk from
29.39 to 1929 and heavy side rims" OF
short, choppy waves, slapped the vessel,
though there was almost no wind. The
shock was felt very slightly on board
the Trinacria.
The serpentine form in the sky lasted
about an hour and then graduallyfaded.
Captain Thomson said he had never
seen anything like it before.

He Sues His Discarded Wife Resale for an
Annulment of Their Marriage.
LONDON, July 91.-The scandalous
career of Clovis Bonaparte, the illegiti-
mate but legally acknowledged son Of
the late Prince Louis Lucien Bona
parte, is again before the courts, Bona
parte having sued his discarded wife,
Resale, for the annulment Of their
marriage, on the ground that she had a
husband living at the time of the mar
riage. The suit has been instituted by
Bonaparte in order to relieve himself
of the charge of bigamy, as set forth in
tho petition filed in the probate, divorce
and admiralty division by Madame
Rosalie Bonaparte, who asks for the
dissolution Of her marriage with Bona
parte on the ground that on the 14th Of
October, 1891, after her marriage to
him, he married Laura Elizabeth Scott.
Bonaparte's suit for nullity is in an
swer to this suit. He claims that she
was never legally divorced from her
former husband, a Mr.. Megone. The
case is still on.

reached here last evening from Campo,

a short distance from that ef Fish.
The position OF the bodies told the
tale OF a terrible death. They had
struck out on muleback for water, which
the animals scented. They reached
within two miles OF it when Fish fell,
unable to hold his head up. His COM
panions made him comfortable with a

the train Of the mnles. The younger
man evidently fell soon, but his father
staggered on for mile. He struggled
up heap OF sand, fell, rose again, fell,
staggered to his knees, crawled a few
feet, fell again, and died within less
than three.quarters OF o mile of an
abundance OF water.

HAvERH1IL, Mass, July S1.-Evidence
has been discovered which tends to
show that the mysterious deaths at the
Gable House, Salisbury Beech, more
than week ago, were caused by the
willful act of young women, who
placed poison in the food in order to
kill Daniel Mccarthy, an employe OF
the hotel -Four other lives were sacri-
feed in order to insure the death OF the
intended victim.
An interesting love story is limited
at, but the evidence is not conclusive
enough to warrant an arrest or even the
publication OF tho name Of the sus-
pected person. 1t is said that there
was a lovers quarrel and then the
Young man received a letter announc-
ing the death of the young lady.
Just before the trouble at the Cable
House. which resulted in the deaths Of
so many people, and the serious illness
OF great many more, this young wo-
mon whose death has been announced,
was seen in McCarthy's room, SO 1t is
claimed, by another woman who knew
her intimately.
The unmlstakable symptoms Of poi.
soning in connection with the deaths OF
tho Gable House guests, and the fact
that the occupants OF the table at
which Mccarthy was served, were the
only ones taken sick, coupled with the
lovers quarrel, the reported death OF
the young lady, and her subsequent ap:.
pearance in the flesh in the room OF
her former lover, examining the con-
tents Of his trunk-all these circum..
stances have given the police material
to work upon which may develop
most sensational story OF crime.
