THE SUN A GREAT DYNAMO.
The Theory Advanced by Valued Con-
tributor.
SHREVEPORT. La. August 25. 1892

SHREVEPORT. La, August %. 1892.
To the Editor of The Progress:
Knowing that yoI are progressive
thinker, submit the following as only a
theory, and would like to hear the views
and opinions, through the columns OF
your paper, Of others. believing that the
agitation of thought leads to higher
knowledge, and advancement.
1t is claimed, by some, that the sun is a
body of intense heat, that it i. dark,
Opaque, surrounded by luminous belt
or atmosphere, that As whole IL is live
hundred times larger than al the planets
combined, and that its heat is trans
mitted to all the planets through dark
and intensely cold region millions of
miles i'm extent.
IL ia also cluimed that tho amount of
heat felt on each planet is in proportion
10 its distance from the sun, those at
distance consequently being very cold,
and those nearer the sun being propor-
tionately hot.
Now, IL this claim be true, how is ii
that this heat eau be transmitted such
distance through a cold region. without
great loss of energy? 1t is ane<tablished
fact that the atmosphere is colder and
colder as we ascend. showing that it
grows colder Instead # warmer as we
appr ach the sun. The deep valleys are
much warmer than the mountain tops,
many of which are perpetually snow
capped.
Now, 1 hold to This theory, to-wit:
That the sun Is not the heated body it il
supposed to be, and that the heat and
light of our planet, and Of other planets,
does not come directly from the sun,
through all this region of cold and dark
ness, but that the sun is composed of
elements, or substances, that are trans

A SECRET SESSION.
Reporters Excluded From the
Night Meeting.

Night Meeting.
The meeting of last night lasted until
after midnight and was stormy through
out. The session was strictly secret,
and all outsiders were rigidly excluded
from the hall. At one time it was ru-
mored that Pioneer Press reporter
and another representative of the
press were hidden in the hall,
and the entire assemblage was
thrown into turmoil. SO much SO that
members we're required to show their
! cards as they passed out. The only
news which reached the outside was the
gossip of the members as they passed
out, but it was plain from occasional re-
! marks that all is not plain sailing In the
: Alliance even yet. There was conSid-
: cradle unfavOrable comment upon the
fact that resolntioniaby B. Warren.
president of the Murray county Alliance,
ito the effect that the Alliance did
) not favor fusion with either the Re-
; publican or Democratic party, had been
utterly ignored. Mr., Warren was Ques-
ltOned on this subject,ands said: ) i,
Il cannot understand why it was not
presented before the meeting, but /
suppose it must have been out of Order.''
However, other, members freely ex-
pressed themselves cas- of the opinion
thatthe .powers thatbe" had purposeIy
laid the resolution aside. Speaking on
the subject of fusion, MIR. Warren said:

our leaders to commit themselves on the
subject of fusion. but they have always
eyaded it. / broughbit mp tonight, but
they had nothing to say" @1e'.
When the meeting had closed it was
learned, that the, result of the very
stormy meeting was that the Alliance

Blew Her ISrnIDs Ont.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Jan. 3O.-One of the
saddest tragedies that has occurred in
this State for a long time, happened in
Edgelield yesterday afternoon, and the
news of it having spread to most of the
towns OF the county, nearly every one
was much shocked. The saddest part
of it all, however, is that it is fair
and apparently happy young woman
who deliberately committed suicide.
Mr.. j Ohm Carson is a well-known young
Edgclield man, who has been living
since his marriage at crossroads just
few miles north Of Ridge Spring-be-
tween that place and Ward's-with his
fair young wife and their two bright
little children. Yesterday this happy
household was terribly dismembered.
Mrs. Carson, so passenger on the in
coming train said, some time during
the day went into her room took her
husbands pistol, placed it to her temple
and fired. The bullet plowed its way
through her brain and death was in
Simultaneous. At the sound of the pistol,
members of the household rushed to
the room to find the dead wife lying in
a pool of ber own blood and brains.
They were terribly shocked. Such a
step was not in the least anticipated
and no cause can be assigned for the
rash act. The only possible cause that
can be conceived is ill health. The
young wife has recently had a spell of
illness and it is supposed that it effected
her mind.-State.

GKEENvILLE, S. c., Jan. 29.-Sandy
Young, colored, and his two children
were burned to death at their home in
this city shortly before o'clock this
morning. Their charred and limbless
bodies were taken from the ruins by
liremen. The house was a small one
and was in the western part of the city.
Young's widow says when she awoEe
tho house was in danes. She escaped
by door, but Young attempted to
save his two children, aged 6 and 3 res.

nySdneo is some suspicion of foul play, but the
day did not confirm The suspicious. The
three people were so horribly burned
that nothing was found but the trunks
of their bodies.
