A BIG BLAZE.
Three Hundred Thousand Dollars Licked
Up at Halifax.

Halifax, n. S., May 19.-Halifax was
visited by a 100000 fire this evening
There was not cent of insurance ON the
property destroyed. The flames started
in the Intercolonial railroad wharf in the
cattle shed. Both wharf and shed, in
which were 60 cattle consigned to Leaman
& Co., which had just arrived from the
interior, We're soon consumed, as well as
the freight and immigration sheds. The
fire then swept the immense coaling pier
and wharf of the Dominion government
on which were number of loaded coal
cars. On the surrounding tracks were
a great number of empty and loaded cars,
but locomotives got many of them out of
danger before they were burned. Several
loaded with hay were burned. The prop
erty was owned by the Dominion govern
ment and consequently was not insured.
Leanman & Co., besides the cattle lose two
cars of HAY and two of feed. The big iron
ship Ancyna, which was loaing at the
wharf, narrowly escaped The other gov
eminent terminus was destroyed by fire
and the loss of this one means great in
convenience ito shipping and commercial
business.

THEY HORRIBLY MUTILATED,
OUTRAGED AND MURDERED
A YOUNG WHITE GIRL.
SHE WAS HELD CAPTIVE TWEEN
TY-FOUR HOURS.
One Negro Confessed and Implicated Two
Others-The Rape Fiends Were Sub
jected to Frghtful Torture Be
fore Being Killed Outright.

st. Louis, May ia special to the Re-
public from Ellaville, Fla, says:
Three negroes were lynched Saturday
night in a swamp on the Sewanee river
by white men, for assaulting white girl.
1t is reported that they were fayed alive
and then burned after being subjected to
frightful fortunes. The crime for which
the negroes We're so horribly put to death
was one of the most terrible in the history
of this section of Florida. The scene
of the crime of retributiOn was in Lafey-
cite, the adjoining county to Madison on
the south. Miss Matte Armstrong, the
beautiful daughter of a prominent Lafay-
cite county farmer, left her home five
days ago to spend the night with neigh
Dor who lived two miles distant. The next
day Mrs. Armstrong went to the house to
bring her home and was alarmed that
nothing had been seen of her. Mr.. Arm
strong alarmed the neghbors and
search was made. The woods Were scour-
ed and the Sewanee river dredged. Final
ly, out midway between the home of Miss
Armstrong and the neighbours house, the
girls handkerchief was found clingipg to
a bush, and all around We're evidences of
the trail thus indicated, finding all along
that the girl had been dragged into the
woods. After proceeding Cor Il miie The
corpse of Mss Armstrong WAS found in a
thick cm'np Of bus 'es. Ehe h., iy If the
girl was in horrible condition. Every
shred of clothing had been torn from it
and she had been assaulted. The lower
limbs were torn apart, her head crushed
and her throat cut. lit was evident that the
girl had made desperate fight, for under
her nails were found pieces of black cuti-
Gle which she had torn from her assail-
ants
Sam Echols was suspected and threat
ened with instant death unless he con-
fessed. He did so, and implicated Sam
Crowley and John Brooks.
Echols said they had kept the girl for
"a hours before killing her, forcing her
in the meanwhile to repeatedly submit to
the most horrible indignities. For the
greater part of the time Miss Armstrong
was unconscious.
Havin secured the negroes implicated
by Echols, the white men proceeded with
the tiends to a dense swamp on the Sc
vance river, where they we're made to
suffer torture similar to that they had in
ficted on the girl.
The white people are generally aroused
and swear they will exterminate the ne
groeS if the outrages are continued

AT CAMP SCHOFIELD.
The Militia Spend the Day Listening to
Sweet Music.

Memphis, Tenn, May 19.-It was a
little too warm for comfort at Mont
gomery park this afternoon, but several
hundred people listened to concert by
the Iowa State band or loitered through
Camp Schofeld. The interstate drill
will close Tuesday with the announce
ment and distribution of the prizes in the
various classes. Everybody is guessing
tonight on the outcome of the week S
drilling and opinion is about evenly di-
vided. The Galveston company, and
Thurston Rifles of Omaha are believed
to have shade the best of it for the
$4,000 in class A, while the Morton Cadets
of Washington are likely to get first
prize in one of the three classes in which
they entered Tomorrow General Scho-
field will review all the troops at the
camp, after which he will leave in a
special car with his party for Houston.

COLOR LINE WIPED OUT.
After a Prolonged Discussion by the
Chicago Woman's Club.

Chicago, May 19.-The Chicago Wo-
mans club has obhterated the color line.
Character, backed by intelligence, is the
only condition in that organization. Race,
color, creed, political leanings, are all
Pushed aside. This was accomplished
last night after prolonged and at times
heated discussion, and to DR.. Hackett
Stevenson belongs the credit for the vic
tory Since Mrs. Fannie r. Williams,
the we'll known colored woman, failed to
become member of the club early last
winter, "off-color" has been the one issue.
But the victory is only half won, for the
Chicago women must carry their point
in the federation of Woman's clubs, a
national organization with which the Chi
cago club is affiliated. Affiliated with
the federation are a number of WOmen's
clubs in Southern cities. With them wip-
ing out the color line is proposition
which will doubtless cause a prolonged
Wrangle

suits follow its use: that he would not be

man, druggist, Catskill, N. Y, says that
DR.. Kings New Discovery is und9ubted-
used it in his family for eight years,
and it has never failed to do all that is
claimed for it. Why not try remedy so

A BID FOR THE POPULIsTs.

A later suggestion was that the move
ment had for its object the building up
a II bridge over which the populists of
the State could pass into the camp of the
Democrats. 1t was thought advisable to
effect this union of the two forces now,
instead of waiting until next year, when
all efforts of every description must neces-
sarily be so difficult of accomplishment.
A bridge built of silver would hold, it
was said. The Populists would cross it,
and thus q force would appear in the field
sufficient in numbers to give the Repub-
licans trouble. Something must be done
The ranks of the Democrats had been re-
duced until they looked like only the
remnant of an army. SO, according to
this explanation, the silver democrats,
who happened to be in control of the State
committee, decided to make bid for re-
cruits from the ranks of the POpulsts
and the bid took the form of this call for
a State convention to consider the silver
question.

ANOTHER LYNCHING.

Montgomery, Ala, May 19-About a
month ago Jerico Shivers and two other
negroes enticed two young daughters of
q white farmer away from home in
Coffee county and kept them in the woods
for week. The girls finally made
their way home, but the rascals who en-
ticed them could not be found. Last
night, however, it was learned that SHY
ers was in a certain house near Taber-
nacle, in that county, and posse quietly
organized and secured him. He was
taken to a river not far away. A rope
with a sinker was tied around his neck
and he was drowned. The other two
have not yet been heard from.

SAID TO BE SENSATIONAL.

London. May 19.-If the case of Miss
Birdie" Sutherland, the chorus girl at
the Gaiety theater, against the Hon.
Dudley Churchill Majoribanks. elder son
of Baron Tweedmouth, for breach of
promise, ever comes into court, it will
be the most sensational trial since Miss
FOrtescue, the actress, won 10000 from
Lord Garmoyle on a similar charge.
Miss Sutherland is very handsome,
being nearly six feet tall and only IS
years old. Her real name is Annie Louise
Watkins. She first met the Hon. Dudley
at the Prince of Wales club. 1t was
case OF love at first sight. He proposed
and was accepted. When his parents

Washington, May 19.-The only male
person ever born in the White House,
Robert Tyler Jones, a grandson of Presi,

in the treasury department. Since his
retirement from that position he has had
practically no endowment

OTHER EXPLANATIONS.

There are other explanations. A call
so unusual and so unexpected has natur-
ally created a cloud of speculation and ru-
NOR. Mr.. Stevenson's fortunes may have
been considered by some. The populists
may have been considered by others.
There may be an aspect of the case as
viewed from other standpOints. At any
rate, it is true that the free coinage men
at distance regard the Illinois movement
with all the greater interest for believing
that it is inspired by desire to push along
the whole silver cause and without re-
spect to local advantages or any one mans
fortunes. The play. as they see it, is dis
tinctly for silver. Illinois may not gain, by
it. She may remain fast in the clutches
of the Republicans. But it will be some
thing encouraging to free coinage men in
other States to note the strength of Dem
ocratic sentiment for silver in Illinois as
elsewhere

SILVER WILL CARRY.


The latest news reaching Washington
is that silver will carry the convention.
All news on the subject from the state Is
eagerly snapped up. 1t is even sad that
the sound money Democrats in certain
counties have already given up the hight.
They are reported as considering 1t use
less TO 90 on. If this feeling should spread,
n turn may be given matters making the
convention, except for vigorous formal
protest, merely a meeting of silver men.
In this way the sound money Democrats
NAV try to break the force of body. they
have failed to control. They may insist
that the declaration of the convention is
entitled to no more weight than that OF
any, other body of silver champions com
ing together to boom the white metal.
But the fact will remain, the silver men
noint out, that the convention was IN
every way regular, that it was Democratlc
in complexion and that the conteSls IoI
delegates by counties were fought out Ill
the open.
APATHY OF SOUND MONEY MEN.
There is some disappointment IN adc
ministration circles here at the apathy Oh
LATE observable in the sound money ranks
outside of Chicago. When the president
urote his letter the sound money Demo
crafts were full of fight. They seemed 10
bn Confident that with his assistance and
nnder his leadership they could easily car
nv the day. They talked to him IN tl Ti.
strain. and influenced by 1t, he maze Iis
