THE CONGRESSIONAL CONTEs t.
Places for Friday Nights Ward Meeting,
Selected-The Outlook.

SeIected-The Outlook.
The arrangements are rapidly being
made for holding tho ward meetings on
Friday night for the selection of DELE
gates to the Sixth Democratic Congress
sional convention to be held in this city
August Is to selecs candidate for the
party for this falls contest.
The following places have been chosen
for the holding of the various ward
meetings:
First ward-Hustings Courtroom.
Second ward-Circuit courtroom
Third ard-Friendship Fire Com
pany's headquarters.
Fourth ward Junior Fire Company's
headquarters
Fifth ward-Bond's storeroom.
Although talk as to the probable can
didate from this district still continues
active, no one seems to know or cares to
predict for a certainty just who the sue
ces,ful man will be. 1t now looks as If
the delegates chosen Friday night would
able that they would all favor the selec
tion of Roanoke man, and probably L.
W. Miller, it is not at all likely that
they will be authorized to cast their
ballots and use their influence in his
behalf.
The dark horse, IL is not improbable,
may be trotted in to win at the conven-
ton, and it is thought that Mr.. Miller's
chance for being this dark horse are ex.
eeedingly good.
Dissatisfaction at Lynchburg.
Considerable dissatisfaction exists at
Lynchburg in consequence OF the exec
utive committee designating to-day as
the time for holding the meetings for
choosing delegates to the convention in
this city
A long card to the Democrats Of
LynchburR appeared in the Advance Of
that city Saturday, protesting against
such an early date, which the COM
mittee who signed the card denounced
as contra to ali precedent. and that the
whole n after was being manipulated by
the machine in favor OF a certain party.
This committee represents citizens who
desire an unpleoged ticket.

asked them to return to their homes
and keep the peace.
Mr.. Peterson's explanation OF
his connection with this constitu-
/ ton is as follows:
The cabinet of which was a men,
Der have been accused publicly and
privately Of having favored the pur-
! pose Of the queen to promulgate q new
! constitution, and in support of that it
I has been said that Her Majesty told
me, at the meeting in the palace, that
/ had had the constitution III my
l pocket for q month. What she did
say was, in answer to remark by Mr..
Parker, that we didn't know what the
constitution contained: that I-Mr.
Peterson-had had it in my possession
for several weeks. The explanation
OF that remark is this: During the
early part of the session of the Legls-
lature, some three or four months be-
fore the propagation, the queen sent
for me one day and handed me a roll
wrapped in newspaper, and, without
saying what it was, asked me to look
it over and see if / could propose any
changes. / carried it home and looked
at it and found it to be a draft of
constitution. / did not read it through
and cannot say whether or not it was
the same as was afterward shown to
US in the palace. / thought nothing
of the matter at the time, as the sub
ject of a new constitution was then
before tine Legislature in the shape of
4 bill providing for the calling of a
constitutional convention; but as l
was opposed to the measure, and short
ly afterward voted against it in the
house, / was not DESTROYS of assisting
in the project, as supposed this to be,
and so did not look at it again after
the first day. Some two or three weeks
after the queen sent Mr.. Robertson for
the package, which returned exactly
as 1 received it, having looked at it but
once, and having made no changes.

pany will send another large ship
ment of exhibits to the Midwinter
Fair by the Australia next Satur-

from Niihau, will be among the

Ailau will take with them ten native

WAS IT A STRAY?
Narrow Escape of the Iwalani'S
Captain.

Captain Freeman, of the Iva,
lani, is on the look out for a man
who tried to shoot him in his berth
on the steamer. But, luckily for
the captain, his escape was like
that of the man who was almost
shot in the war. He wasn't there.
The captain spent his New Year
eve on shore, and to that fact he
may possibly owe his life. When
he returned to the steamer on Mon
day mornina he found rifle bullet
lying on his bed. In the ceiling
was hole that showed where the
bullet had entered. From the
position of the bullet it was evident
that had the captain been in his
bunk he would have been shot
in the abdomen.
The captain has no idea who can
have made the attempt on his lie,
if attempt it was, and rather in
clines to the idea that it was stray
shot. He does not know of any
one who is likely to go cunning for
him. 1t has been suggested that
it would be a good plan to have his
cabin lined with sheet iron to pre-
vent such accidents in the future.

TWO GOOD LETTERS.
Encouraging Opinions of Good Will
For the Government.

The following letters, received by
a prominent business man of Homo
lulu, are indicative of the feeling
that exists in the United States on
the Hawaiian question. The first
letter is from Massachusetts, State
Senator:
My DEAR -: / read with much
interest in the morning paper the re-
port of your earnest remarks at the
recent meeting in Honolulu of the
friends of the Provisional Govern
ment. 1t and the other speeches had
the real flavor of freedom; the right
ring.
The outrageous course of Cleveland
and Gresham is ineXplicable to the
American people. l do not know
man who defends them. Practically
all Americans are on the side of the
Provisional Government.
This disgraceful episode is only one
of the many mischievous results of
the Democratic victory in 1892. AS
usual, the party is showing itself in
capable of giving the country broad,
patriotic and constructive administra-
ton.
l rejoice in the grit and pluck that
you and your friends are exhibiting.
think the Administration has got to
hedge in the matter.
Be assured of my cordial sympathy
and best wishes.

DEAR Mr.. -: Thanks very
much for favor to hand last night. l
was longing for an account of that
meeting. / shall make good use of
the news. Thurston's and Stevens
letters given to Associated press have
done much good; Democrats in read
ing them have thought there was
more to your side of the question than
Blount gave. The great majority in
this country believe that Grover has
committed a grave error in sending
Blount to your city, and then acting
upon his one-sided view of Hawaiian
affairs. believe you are nearer to an
nexation today than you have been at
any time. The boldness and steadfast-
ness of the Provisional Government is
commended everywhere.

DEATH OF ESQUIRE FORT.

Esquire Wiley Fort died at his
residence in Bolivar, Tenn, Thurs
day morning, Nov. goth, 1894, at
1915 o'clock.
Wiley Fort was born in Robertson
County, Tenn, July II, 1900.
Arriving at the age of manhood, he
left Tennessee and removed to Ala
bama, settling in Lauderdale County
near Florence, where he resided for
ten years, experimenting the farm
of Gen. Coffee. From Alabama,
Mr.. Fort moved to Hardeman Coun-
ty, Tenn, about the year 1885, and
settled four miles north of Bolivar,
where he continued to follow farm
ing for livelihood. Several years
ago, MIR. Fort disposed of his farm
and moved to Bolivar, where he has
since resided. For thirty years of
his life, Esquire Fort was a member
of the County Court. He was twice
married, first in 1882, to Miss Miner
va West, of Alabama. His second
wife, who survives him, was Mrs.
Lybrook, to whom he was married
in 1874. During his lifetime, Mr..
Fort raised and educated five adopt
ed children. About one year ago,
he connected himself with the Boil
ivar Baptist church.
The death of Esquire Fort re-
moves the oldest citizen in Harde-
man County. Had he lived until
next July, he would have reached the
remarkable age of 95 years. For
one of his age, he possessed won
derful memory and extraordinary
vitality. He. believed firmly that
outdoor life was conducive to
health, and whenever his physical
condition and tlFeweather permitted
he took daily exercise. Esq. Fort
was a familiar figure upon the streets
of Bolivar. Everybody knew him,
everybody respected him. A more
honest, upright gentleman never
lived than Wiley Fort. Several
months before his death he realized
that his earthly career was short,
and he gave directions as to the
character of the coffin in which he
desired to be buried, and designated
the graveyard where he wished his
body deposited. The last hours of
Mr.. Fort were peaceful and calm.
When he died he was perfectly con-
scious. For a month past he
suffered from bronchitis and cold in
the head, but this was not the cause
of his death-the chord of life was
worn out and finally snapped
According to his wish, his remains
were buried at the family grave
yard, four miles north of Bolivar,
on his old farm. The funeral SER
vices were commenced by Rev. Mr..
Brown, who becoming suddenly
sick, was compelled to retire, and
the service was concluded by Rev.
Mr.. Felts.
