BLED HIM TO DEATH.
Ravenous PopuIist Politicians Accused Of
Doing Up JEFF Hudson.


A dispatch from Columbus, Cherokee
county, gives some inside facts relative
to the withdrawal Of Jeff Hudson from
the cOngression race in the Third dis
trict.
last Friday said he expected to
make the race and expressed himself
as confident Of reelection, but the next
day announced that he would not be
candidate. The reasons for his sudden
change of plans are said to have been
that scheme had been devised by a
certain clique in the party, men who
had been disappointed in the distriha-
ton Of the loaves and fishes as prom
ised by Hudson in '92 in shape Of
postof6ces, Indian agencies, registers and
receivers of land offices to say nothing
Of United States marshalship and United
States district attorney.
These political friends sought the op-
portunity Of evening up old sores, aud,
working through the committee. assess
ed Hudson the sum Of 500 for each
county in the district, 5000 in all, which,
with $3.50 assessed by the state commit
tee, made pull of $1,150. Hudson ex-
the sum; that his expenses had exceeded
mercy was shown, the money must come
or he must step down and out
This is the true reason for the with
drawal Of Hudson, If withdrawal It can
be called Hudson has been accused of
using every method to defeat Ben Clover
for a denomination IN 1892 and that un-
scrupulOus means have been used to de-
feat his own political aspirations looks
like 2 swift aud speedy retribution.

Power-House Consumed.

The power-house oftbo Charlottesville and
University Electric Light Company was de-
stroyed by fire. When first seen the blaze
was quite small and was in the boiler-room
near the roof, but out Of reach until the ar
rival Of the fire company. By that time the
blaze had extended so rapidly that 1t was
impossible to save the boiler house or the
upper story of the machinery house. A
greater part of the equipment in the shape
of engines and dynamos suffered compare
lively little, but of course they did not es
cape some damage from heat and water, but
the opinion is that the loss in this particular
direction was small. One boiler was ruined.
Mr.. Ellis z. Harris, one Of the 1remen,
had one OF his eyes badly injured by the
water from hose striking him In it.
