Pitiable Condition of Four Thousand Peo-

to Live On.

CHICAGO, Feb. 8.-A dispatch from
Memphis, Tenn, says:
Four thousand people in the Con
cordia and Cataraoula parishes in the
northern portion of Louisiana, are on
the verge of starving.
Information received from that Sec
ton yesterday shows that the people
are in a pitiable condition, and unless
relief is given them at once many deaths
from starvation will result.
The floods of last summer DESTROYED
their crops, and the water remained so
long that it was not possible to plant
corr Or anything else beyond some
quickly maturing vegetables. Hence
hundreds moved but thousands were
unable to leave.
Those remaining have subsisted dur.
ing the winter on wild game, but now
they have nothing to keep body and
soul together.

changes in Memphis, Vicksburg and

unbroken and present a solid front than

Your State officers with united effort
will do all in their power to increase
the number of Lodges by extending the
organization to sections of the State
that have not yet been thoroughly
worked. and now it devOlves upon you
to strengthen your Sub-Lodge. How
will YOU do it9 Let us urge upon you
to shake hands over past differe aces
before this meeting a djourns and to
put on foot some plan to add new
members and to bring back such as
have neglected to attend. Let each
one promise the other to see that the
next meeting is more largely attended
than this one. Wefurther suggest that
you appoint two committees, one to
see those who are behind with their
dues Or have not attended of late, and
the other to see such persons who have
never joined as are eligible and desir-
able for menlbe rship. And let your
next meeting be a full and enthusiastic
one to hear the reports of these com
mittees. We would suggest that you
instruct your Sub Business Agent (f he
has not been doing so) to correspond
at once with Bro. Worth, IS. B. Al
and see what he can do for you in the
way of buying for you, or selling for
you what you may have to sell that he
can handle.
In regard to the Business Agency

the State Business Agent been called
upon to use any Of it TO pay overdrafta,
or deficiencies whichg twas thought
might occur in the regular order of
business when the Agency was estab
lished In a meeting of the Executive
Committee to day, upon examination
of the books of the Secretary-Treasurer
and Business Agent, we find them all
correct, and the charges that any of
the funds of the Alliance had been used
for political purposes are utterly false.
Also we wish to you against the
many other charges and publications
being made about the Alliance The
organization has no connection what
ever with the many wild schemes that
are being charged against it.
Now in conclusion allow us to urge
upon you again that we must keep the
organization in tact, and push on the
work of cooperation, TIL the evils of
which we complain are righted, and the
objects for which we are striving are
accomplished. Such in our opinion are
the especial duties Of the hour for all
Alliancemen, and we pledge ourselves
anew to this end and call upon you all
to continue the work of the Alliance
in the same spirit.

S:chufeldt distillery in the early morn
ing OF December 10, 1888.
IL was the intention of those planning
tne obstruction of the d~istiilery to have
Cwo bombs thrown through a glass
sAyllght on the one stor, roof Of the
SURE room, which contained l,4OO bar
r0IS u the spirit of wine.
n dynamite bombs had been pre-
pared one with a long fuse and the
other with a short one. Of the two
men who had sneaked along in the
early morning to wreck the Schufeldt
buildings one was a high Official Of a
rival concern and the other was a
trusted employee, who had been hired
to do the actual throwing. At the last
moment the enormity of the crime
caused him to lose his nerve and the
chief was obliged to hurl the deadly
missils. He, too, lost his nerve and
threw the dynamite with the shorter
fuse. This exploded before the second
could be thrown, and when the latter
came its fuse was extinguished.
One man bore away a contract au
thorizing him to be paid $50, 600 for his
part of the transaction. This was not
paid, however.

6HATHAM COUNTY MEETING.
ruSnty-fve Out of Thirty-fve Repre-
scented.

M, EDIroR:-The regular time for
the meeting of Chatham County Ali
snce occurred upon such an untavor-
obIe day that a great majority OF the
Suh.AIiances we're not represented.
consequently a meeting was called for
the 9TH of February. Many of the enc
MES had been cOngratulating them
selves that the order was dead and
that no county meeting would ever be
held again. The morning Of the 9th of
FEBRUARY was very unfavOrable. Every
thing was covered with sleet. Most of
the brethren we're compelled to travel
a good distance by private conveyance
and many feared that a quorum would
not be present.
But the bl ethren in this county are
in earnest, In no county is there more
love for the order. Out of a member
shin of S5 Sub Alliances % were repre-
sented. Had the day been a favorable
n I believe every Alliance would have
had delegates present.
The meeting was a very pleasant one.
Every member present seemed deter
mined to stand by the order to the last.
The delegates reported no lack Of en-
thusiasm from any section represented.
The Presidents address was read and
heartily approved. There never has
been any disposition to take partisan
action by the Chatham County Ali
ance. True a large proportion of the
members voted the Peoples party
ticket. AS free men they had a right
to do 50. But the Alliance took no
part further than to urge the adoption
of its demands into law.
Bro. John w. Atwater, III State
Senator, was present and addressed
the meeting. The brethren seemed
pleased to have him with them, and
his course in the Senate seems to meet
with general approval.
Let the brethren throughout the
State know that there is no back down
in Chatham county. The order is
growing rather than weakening.

Mr.. GRAHAM REPLIES TO Mr.
BELL.
Cor. State Chronicle }

Cor. State Chronicle
MACHPELAH, N. O., Feb. Il have
Just received the Chronicle of the 4th
inst. containing Mr.. Bells article in
which he ipsinuates that the Business
Agency Fund of the Alliance is being
improperly used in aid Of the Third
party" Now Mr. Bell is very ignorant
as to Alliance matters or else he will
fully misrepresents- Not one cent of
the fund has ever been used for an i'm
proper purpose, but has been steadily
kept according to the conditions on
which contributed. Nor has any ap-
plicatiOn ever been made to me to
loan any of it for any political pur-
pose. The fund is contributed as a
security fund for the Business Agency,
and can not be put into active use Ii
any of it is used in paying any debt of
the agency and the debt cannot be col
lected the money is replaced from dlvl-
dends or the fund. And one agree
ment in contributing it is that in case
1.-The State Alliance ever ceases to
exist" the contribution shall be re-
turned to the contributors.
Mr.. Bell is entirely mistaken as to
the reason that causes some contrib
utors to wish a change concerning the
fund. 1t is objected that it is "bound
up too tight" and they wish to get re-
strictions removed SO that it can be
used in active business-the trustee re-
fusing to let it be so used. 1t is not to
make it more safe in any way. Wher.
ever any Of the fund has been de
posted as security for accounts of the
State Business Agent it is done on COZ
ditiOn that it is only to be used to pro
tect lover drafts" in his business and
he has no power to use it otherwise
and the condition is so stated in re-
ceipts by the bank officers receiving
the c~oIla5erals.
If Mr.. Bell had contributed anything
to the fund which he seems so anxious
to save for distribution perhaps he
would have examined the conditions
surrounding it more carefully before
writing articles rejecting on the trustee
to whom It's keeping is entrusted.
Very respectfully,

split in twain.
The express a and the two follow
ing day coaches were thrown from the
trestle, a distance of at least thirty feet.
The rest of the car were saved by
the embankment on the opposite side
of the ditch, otherwise the death roll
would have been horrible.
The passengers in the day coaches
were rescued with great difficulty by
the trainmen and ~unlnJured pas
sengers.
