EsadOrsed the EOpuiist Ticket.

New ORLEANS, La, Jan. 30 The
Republican sugar planters met last
night and indorsed the ticket nomi-
mated by the Populists, headed by
Captain j. N. Pharr, a sugar planter,
and containing several Repu blicans.
The planters put up the first fusion
ticket, but the Populists rejected
fusion and nominated a separate
ticket. This was pulled down, the
Pharr ticket put up and several Re-
publicans placed upon it. The ticket
was not qnite what the planters
wanted, but they indorsed it. and the
regular Republicans will probably do
likewise.

BLUEFIELD, w. Va, Jan. 29.-Alex-
ander Jones, "a negro, boarded pass
enger train at Keystone last night.
He was under the influence of LIQUOR
and was quarrelsome Conductor Nc
Cullough. after demanding fare from
Jones, advised him to be quiet. The
negro was much incensed and when
an attempt was made to eject him he
pulled two revolvers and began firing
promiscuously through the train,
which was crowded with passengers
He emptied both revolvers and at
tempted to reload, but was overpow-
cred by the tram men.
When the smoke had cleared away
it was found that w. Il. Strother,
postmaster at Elkhorn. had been shot
through the abdomen. Strother died
almost instantly. Conductor McCul-
Tough was shot in the side but not
seriously injured, and Peter Rice, col
ored, was shot through the right
breast and may die
Jones was incarcerated in the Elk
horn Jail toawait the arrival of train
to convey him to Huntington for safe
keeping. The train arrived at 2 o'clock
IN the morning and the officers and
prisoner boarded it withouts 1nolesta-
ton.
Meanwhile mob had been organ
lzed at Welch, fifteen miles west of
Keystone, and had marched to Hemp
hill, a small station one mile west of
Welsh. The train was tagged, and
the mob, numbering 100 men, boarded
it and at the point of Winchesters
forced the officers to release the pris-
oner They dragged Jones short
distance to a tree, where he was
swung to a limb and his body riddled
with bullets. The following note was
then pinned to the body: .sThis deed
was done for the purpose of example
and warning to negroes. So beware. g
Some of the most prominent and in
fuential residents Of this section were
members of the mob. Jones, it is al
legged, had killed three men prior to
his last offense. An unsuccessful at
tempt was made by his friends to
rescue him from the mob. w. HI.

Troubles.

Troubles.
MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi, jan c9.-F.
Hopkinson Smith, the well known an
thor and traveller, who is at present in
Minneapolis, says that it matters lit
tie that he was misquoted when
charged with saying that the Metho-
dist and Baptist missionaries had
caused the Armenian troubles. What
he meant to say, and what he repeats,
is that there is no doubt that large
part OF the troubles that are now con
vulsing Asia Minor are due to the
American missionaries, whatever be
their sect. He says:
They have continually made war
on the Mohammedan religion and Mo-
hammedan rule, and have encouraged
the Armenians, a people of no nation
allty of their own, to hope for inde-
pendence. The revolution is largely
conducted from Worcester Mass.

At 1880 Thursday morning last, Bos-
ton Buck, whose name is familiar to al
most every one i'm this part of Pennsyl-
vania, died at the residence of his son in
law, Charles b. Fowler, who lives on the
Meadville pike, near Franklin. Mr.,
Buck was man of great force of charac-
ter, and was possessed of the hardy vir-
tues of the pioneer. He was of hospi-
table nature, and in his home was ever
kind and affectionate, his children being
devotedly attached to him. Some of the
troubles Of his later years were due to
designing and malicious persons. Mr..
Buck had for some time been compiling
work that would have vindicated his
life from the aspersions cast upon it, but
his task was interrupted by his last ILL
ness.
The deceased was 20 years old at the
time of his death, and up until his last
illness he continued TO possess his re-
makable physical power, which has char
acterized him throughout his oventful
life. He had been in poor health for
some time and the immediate cause of
his death was dropsy. He is survived
by his wife, Elizabeth Buck, of Licking
Vile, and six children. all grown up.

The Worst Tornado of Modern Times.


A terrible cyclone swept over the city
of st. Louis on Wednesday afternoon
last, and death and destruction marks its
pathway through the twin cities. The
list of the dead is simply appalling, and
even at this date it is scarcely known
how many lives were lost in the awful
dessolation, but the number will doubt
less reach the one thousand mark, though
the exact number, as in the great Johns
town flood, will never be known. Many
smaller towns in Missouri and Illinois
also suffered frightful damage from the
hurricane. The number of injured,
many of them fatally, will swell the list
very greatly. A district in the city
bounded on the north by Choteau ave-
nue., west by Grand avenue, south to the
city limits and cast to the river, is vir-
tually a mass of ruins.
Within this territory scarcely a building
has escaped injury and thousands of
them are in ruins. The storm literally
cut swath through the city half a mile
wide and four miles long, leaving little
standing in Its wake. Many steamers on
the river were destroyed and but few of
those on board were saved. OF the loss
by drowning there can be no definite es-
innate formed, but the numbers run up
into the hundreds. Thousands are home
less, their property having been swept
away in the twinkling of an eye, but re-
lief has been pouring in from all sections
and the poor and destitute are being
cared for as well as the circumstances
will permit
The property loss in the devastated dis
trict is almost beyond computation, the
lowest estimates placing the amount all
the way from $4,000, 600 10 $50, 900, 900.
