TIllMAN's vIrUPIRATioN
Launched Il Cleveland Mugwumps and Repub-
iloans In General.

COLUMBIA, 3. c., April Ex-Governor
Tillman yesterday received letter from
q western Populist, in which the writer
said that the only thing he did not admire
about the governors political course 40
far was shat he did not have q moral cour-
age to come sgusrely out and call himself
Populist The governor, after little
deliberation, said,
'They call me Populist. l will tell
them that am the truest representative
of Jeffersonian Democracy in American
politics today. / don't see anything
ahead now but for the southern Demo-
Gratis to combine their forces with the
western Populists and go into the next
national campaign on new party lines.
II despise Cleveland and his mug
wumps. He 10 no better than the nkest
Republican. He has destroyed the Dem
ocratic party. Cleveland has been work.
Ing under the diotation of the New York
bankers, and bargaining with them In
the matter of the issue of bonds. He
promised the banks IL they would take
them there would be no more Legislation
on the silver question by this congress-
Congress passed the seigniorage act and
he vetoed the bill, Indicating plainly the
nature Of his bargain with the banks.
Cleveland 10 owned body and soul by
those sooundrsls. He secured his nomins-
tion at Chicago through the influence of
subsidized press, and what votes he
lacked there he bought with promises of
patronage, which promises have been
since redeemed. His attempt to browbeat
and debauch the senators aud representa-
tives was outrageous In the extreme. II
these cowardly congressman had any APP
probation Of their duty to their constitu-
ents they would impeach him"

Two Boston Families
Narrowly Death.
BAD LEAK IN A GAS MAIN.
Doctors Had Difficulty in Restoring
Consciousness to Those Affected.

Boston, April "a patrolman noticed
q strong smell of gas "A the vicinity Of
Cary street, yesterday morning, and i'm
mediately notified the gas company, who
found that there was a leak In the main
pipe. About o o'clock young man came
staggering out of 80 Cary street and in
formed the police that the house was full
Of gas Upon investiga gation il was found
that in the family Of John Glynn six per-
sons were overcome by the gas and were
unconscious The police then went on
the upper floor and found that four per-
sons in Patrick Geary's family were also
unconscious from the effects of the gas.
The house was thoroughly ventilated,
and medical assistance was summoned.
After working several hours over the un-
conscious victims all Of them recovered
consciousness, but are In o critical con-
dition.
Geary's Experience.
Mr.. Gesry said: about O'Clock In the
morning 1 awoks, feeling a choking SEN
sation. My daughter Katie was calling
me. and tried to get up All the rooms
were filled with gas i woke up the en-
tire family, and they felt just as did
We thought Katie was dying, and that
held us mp for a short time. Ny wife fell
flrst; then Edward and William. Then
Lizzie and Johnnie Corbstt, who are stay
ing with US, were overcome.
IL ran and opened the windows to let In
the air. then fell myself, unable TO stand
MP. Dootors were called, and by the time
they arrived was feeling strong again.
My wife and Lizzie Corbett were the most
affected. and they are still in bed suffer
ing from the strain. l arr -c-se now than
when the gas was here.
"When / had got the air and felt
stronger, went down stairs to get some
coal for the fire. The hallway and every
room seemed filled with the odor, and
was about half dead. soon reached the
cellar. Here 10 where the smell was the
strongest The place
Was Filled With Gas,
and could not 20 down. After q little
time managed 10 90 down and get the
coal. but when coming mp fell three
times
my family suffering was the only
thing that held me mp. managed 30 get
upstairs after time. and how stood 1t /
don't know. am worse now than was
this morning; the reaction has set in."
John Glynn's story was similar.
The house is three-tenement one, and
the first floor is not occupied. On the sec
ond floor the Gearys live. and on the third
is where the Glynns reside.
The gas In all probability worked its
way from the leak In the main pipe to the
cellar of the house, q distance of 10 or 90
feet. The chances are that IL the lower
tenement had been occupied there would
have been more serious results, az these
rooms were filed with the escaping gas
and were directly over the cellar.
