running to make up time. The trains
were telescoped, and the engineers and
firemen of both trains escaped unhurt.
Among the killed are five strangers and
Richard Adams, of this city.
The engineer of the second section
saw the signal too late to stop his train.
The engine went halfway through the
Pullman. There were six persons
killed. The dead were removed to the
dead house, and in the heavy rain the
wounded were removed to the hospital.
The last Pullman sleeper on the first
section was the Glen Eyre. George

knew anything about the agreement
with the representatives of Cleveland

He did not see Whitney at all. He said

be nominated, and that he did what he
could to have the Indiana vote counted
without division, and with no ulterior
purpose or agreement as to the vice
presidency.

CHICAGO, June 24.-Richard Croker
pedges the Tammany vote to Cleve-

I'VE will support Cleveland Just as
heartily as we would have supported

are for man we are for him. Why
should any one doubt our loyalty to the

pleases US. We favor him because he is
good Democrat. When he was first

POPULATION FIGURES.
Census Office Bulletin on Color,
Sex ana Nativity.


WAsHIN GToN, June 24.-The census
Office today issued a bulletin on the
population of the United States by
color. sex and general nativity. 1t
shows that the population as a whole
has increased during the decade from
1889 to 1890 12.466.467, or 24.S6 per
cent, the total population returned
in 1890 being 62, ,622, 250 as
against total population in 1850 of 50.-
155,7 ,7S3. The males have increased from
25.51S. $50 in 1850 to 80. .067.SS0 in 1890,
the numerical increase being 6,549, eco,
or 25.66 per cent. The whole number OF
females returned in 1880 was "a. CSC, ,963,
while in 1880 there were SO. sd. $40. The
females have increased, therefore, 5,917,-
407. or 24.02 per cent since 1850.
Considering the population classified
as regards native and foreign born, we
find that SO. 3772. 703 are native born and
9.249,54 are foreign born. In 1850 there
were As, 415, $40 native born and 6,679, 943

COLORADO SENTIMENT.
A Bold Statement That Third
Party Men Will Win.

CHICAGO, H., June 24.-The views of
the Colorado delegation on the Cleve-
land nomination are thus expressed by
J. j. Donovan: II don't believe that
Harrison will get more than Is per cent
of the Republican votes of Colorado,
Just because Of the silver plank in the
Minneapolis platform. That adopted
by this convention is little better, but
not much, and don't believe that our
candidates can poll much larger pro-
portion of Democratic voters. The third
party is bound to carry the state. 1t
would be bad politics for us to attempt
to carry the state on the straight Demo-
crat issue, for that would only increase
the chances of the Republicans. We
do not think the convention treated us
fairly. However, we are Democrats,
and will work for the success of the
ticket, but under the peculiar circum-
stances in which this utterance of the
convention has placed us we cannot
work directly for the success of the
party. The platform, aside from the
silver plank, suits US admirably. We
do hot like Cleveland very much. we
are frank 10 SAW

LOWELL. Mass, June 24.-Gen. But
ler. in speaking of the results of the
Chicago convention, said: II do not
believe the Democrats have made their
strongest nominations. There is talk of
loyalty to the party in New York, but
the Australian ballot law is in existence
and | think the chances are against
Cleveland carrying New York. Some
other man could have been nominated
who would have had the support of the
Hill men. Leaving Gray, of Indiana.
off the ticket, means that the Demo-
Gratis have given up that state to the
Republicans. do not think President
Harrison is as strong as four years ago.
In the executive work he has done much
that is worthy of praise. do notthink
eX-PreSident Cleveland is as strong as
four years ago. He is free trader and
he has the vote OF New York state op-
posed to him. 1t must also be remem-
bered that there are great many more
voters than four years ago. l do not
think ex-President Cleveland can Oh

GEN. KELTON RETIRED.
Several Hopeful Aspirants for the
Veterans Place.

WASHINGTON, June 24.-Adjt. Gen.
John c. Kelton, U. S. A., was today
placed Oh the retired list of the army,
having reached the age of sixty-fOur
years. Gen. Kelton entered the service
as a cadet July l. lS47, making nearly
forty-five years service in the army.
There are about six assistant adjutant
generals all anxious to become the sue
cessor of Gen. Kelton, the senior as
sstant being Gen. Robert Williams. and
the others, according to seniority, are:
Gems. Mckeever, Ruggles, Vincent,
Greene and Brock. Nothing definite
has been decided upon as to who will be
the successful aspirant, but if the
question of seniority of rank is consid-
cred, Gen. Williams chances for the
appointment are, as natural conse-
quence. the best, and the president in
making such appointments has, as rule,
filled the vacancy by appointment OF
the ranking officer.

SOUTHRONS CONFIDENT.
Cleveland and Stevenson Winners
on the Platform.

on the Platform.
CHICAGO, June 24.-EdItor Rhodes, of
the Birmingham News, who was one of
the leaders who made the fight in Ala
bama for Cleveland, and who had a
large share in shaping events in Chicago
for the success of Mr.. Cleveland, was
questioned this afternoon in regard to
the sentiment in his state. He replied:
The overwhelming majority or Ala
bama Democrats are more than gratified
at Mr.. CleVeland'S nomination, and the
election of Gen. Stevenson for the sec
Ond place on the ticket was the happlest
solution possible of that question. For
the first time in twenty-five years the
platform of the Democratic party brave
" declares the wishes of the rank and
file of the party, and on it stand two
men of unexceptiOnable character and
unQueStiOnPd ability. That it will be
elected, Alabama Democrats have no
doubt. As to the local fight in Alabama,
Gov. Jones and the regular Democratic
nominees are sure to defeat the boiling
ticket by at least $4,000 majority"
Hon. HOke Smith, OF Atlanta, Ca,
the Cleveland leader of Georgia, takes
rosy view of the Democratic situation.
Speaking of MT. Cleveland's nOmina-
ton, Mr.. Smith said: There is no
foundation for the claim that he is weak
in the South. He received the votes of
a large majority of the Southern dele
cations, and now ali opposition TO him
will cease. His silver letter was used
against him, but our farmers are rap
idly learning that no dollar should be
coined containing less than 100 cents
worth of bullion. Mr.. Cleveland's nOm-
inatiOn will not strengthen the third
party. He enjoys the entire confidence
of ali classes, and there is feeling that
those who stay at home can rest upon
his honesty and courage to protect
their interests. The platform also will
be approved. With the force bill and
the tariff reform bill to advocate, the
South will easily give to Mr.. Cleveland
her entire electoral vote"
Gov. Frances, of Missouri, who has
been one of the most inSistent and per-
SiStent Cleveland men in Chicago dur
ing last week. said: stevenson suits US
thoroughly, although he was not Mis-
souri's candidate for the second place.
In fact, we would have preferred Gray.
but il is said that Tammany understood
that Gray was our choice, and proceeded
to punish US by furnishing Gov. Gray.
There was nothing to be done under all
the circumstances but to nominate
Stevenson. Stevenson appeals to Hi
nOiS state pride, and Cleveland will
carry with him every believer in tariff
reform and economical government i'll

GEN. STEVENsON'S START.
6rover's Partner in the Race is
Not a Laggard.

CHICAGO, June 24.-Gen. Adlai NJ.
Stevenson, nominee for vice president,
opened the campaign of 1892 at 8 o'clock
this morning. At that hour Gen. Ste
venson secured Parlor c at the Palmer
house, where he directed the clerk to
send all his friends. In haif-hour the
room was filed with delegates and
friends who had called to congratulate
him. Tne first man to meet Gen. Ste
vensOn was a Kentucky delegate from
the city of Danville, where Gen. Ste
vensOn was educated. and where he was
married. The Kentucky delegates
voted for you with as much eaeerness
as did the Illinois delegates" said the
Kentuckian, Il congratulate you with
all my heart.'
"Thank yOu," replied the general,
and say to my friends in DanviIle
shall never forget the Kentuckians who
have been so kind to me-"
The Illinois delegates dropped in one
by one when they heard that Gen.
Stevenson had secured headquarters.
and they brought other distinguished
Democrats with them. Gen. John c.
Black. Chairman Taggart. of the In
diana delegation; Gen. Bragg, of Wis
cOnsin; Chairman Shields, of the Iowa
delegation. and others came in and con-
graduated the Illinoisan. Quite feat
ure of the informal reception was the
presence of many old soldiers who came
in to extend their heartest greeting and
TO assure the general he would receive
big soldier vote in Illinois.
HOosiers Not Sulking.
When Chairman Taggart, of Indiana,
learned that Gen. Stevenson was re-
eeiving his friends he did graceful
little act. He hurriedly left the room,
and in half hour the Indiana delega-
ton came in by twos and threes and as
sured Gen. Stevenson that the Demo-
eratS Of the state of Indiana would be

old Chickamauga field, which is beng
put in shape by contractors, came
nearly being the scene of another bat
tie today. The contractors agreed to
furnish unskilled labor at s1.50 per day.
They hired lot of Alabama negroes for
81 per day, built shanties. which they
rented to them, and compelled them to
buy of the commissary. thus making 80
cents day off of them. Not content
with this they reduced wages to 50 cents
per day. Half of the negroes quit. and
the white men employed took up their
cause and threatened violence. The
contractors armed the negroes at work,
and it was only through the GOODNESS of
Gen. Stewart that battle was averted.
