armor plate made by the Carnegie company

The Boy Says He Was Showed on n
Moving Train by the
Conductor.

Winfred Deane. the eleven-year-old son
of Mr.. A. c. Deane. who lives at No. 226
North Patrick street, Alexandria, was
probably fatally injured yesterday, being,
so he alleges. thrown from the local train
on the Baltimore and Potomac road. which
leaves Alexandria at $50 o'clock. The
boy had been playing in the neighborhood
of the depot and whe-l the train moved out
he got and when near the corner of
Oronoco and Fayette streets, while the
train was moving at the rate of twelve or
fifteen miles hour. the boy was showed
off, SO he declares, by the conductor. His
head struck a telegraph pole, crushing the
entire front part of the skull. He was car
ried to his home and Drs. Betchel Smith
and Howard were called. In order TO sew
up the cash in his forehead it was found
necessary to remove the frontal bone. The
little boy was resting easy this morning.
The boys mother said that he had become
conscious during the night, and when she
asked him how he got hurt he replied that
he had gotten on the train and when it got
near MasoG's wall it was going too fast for
him to get off and that the conductor came
out the platform and caught him by
the collar and showed him off. There We're
several persons present when the boy made
this statement to his mother. DIR. Smith
told The Star reporter that it was impossi-
BILE for the child to live, ard that death
might be expected at any moment. The
police are investigating the matter, and
Mayor Thompson will hold an investigation
either tonight or tomorrow morning. The
little fellow still alive this afternoon.

The State nominating convention
of the Peoples party of Louisiana,
meets in Alexandria, January Sth,
1896, for the purpose of nomina-

lous platform, free from fusion or
combine.
As has been foreseen for some
time, we have been promised the
support of large factions of other
parties which have despaired of
the success of any effort in their
own ranks to defeat the political
corporation that is bound together
by fraud, corruption, and spoils
of Office, and that is dominating
the politics of this State.
The oppression of the boodler
and bribe- taker in Office, and the
stencil of corruption and fraud in
election, as well as in the admins
tratlon of government, is becom-

to every sense of morality or hon.

you none but good men and true
on a State ticket, men worthy OF
the confidence of the people, and
in whose hands the just claims of

armor, for it is but natural that
this young, vigorous, interrupted
party, made up for the most part
of the honest intelligent, horny
handed sons of toll, should lead
this peaceable, yet forcible revolu-

The Peoples party must prove
itself equal to the emergency, and
lead this great revolution to victo-
ry, over the downfall of the syco-
plants who have betrayed, dishOn-
ored and disgusted the people
through the Democratic party.
Let the Populists of every par

ready done so, and send in their
delegations to our convention. Let
their delegations be composed OF
good men and true-broad-guaged
and conservative. Each parish in
the State and ward in the city OF
New Orleans is entitled to one del.
egate and then one additional dele
gate for each POO votes, or majori-
