Washington, Aug. 17.--An erroneous
impression exists that the populist COM
mittee meeting called for tomorrow is
the national committee, whereas 1t Is
simply a meeting of the executive COM
mittee, consisting of nine members, as
follows:
Marion Butler of North Carolina,
chairman; M C. Rankin of Indiana,
treasurer; ]. A. Edgerton of Nebraska,
secretary George F. Washburn of Mas
sachusetts, H. W. Reed of Georgia, DIR.
C. F. Taylor of Pennsylvania, j. r.. Sow
ereign of Arkansas, John W. Bre1denthal
of Kansas and John s. Dore of Califor-
mia. Messrs. Edgerton, Reed and WASH
burn are already here. The principal
business before the committee VIII De
the selection of national headquarters
and the mapping out of a plan of cam
paign. 1t may be determined to call
meeting of the full national committee
for some future date to consider matters
over which the executive committee mas
no jurisdiction.
The executive committee can take no
action looking to the removal of Mr.
Watson as a vice presidential candidate
and the substitution of Mr.. Sewall, hav-
ing no authority in the premises. Inc
national committee alone could do any
thing definite in the matter, having
been given the same powers as the COM
mittee which nominated him.
No prediction can be made as TO the
selection of headquarters. The eastern
and southern members of the executive
committee are said to favor Washington,
while the western members are FAVOR
ably disposed toward Chicago, the opln-
ion in each instance being based on the
accessibility of the point. Five or the
nine members live nearer chicago IMAM

END of THE SEASON.
The -Four Clubs of the Southern League Fin
shed at New Orleans and Mobile
PeIicanS' Pennant.

New Orleans, Aug. 17-Three thousand
people were at Sportsman park last aft
ernoon TO be in at the death of the
Southern league for this season
New Orleans won both games from Co.
lumbus, thereby increasing her percent
age, Powell pitched in the second game,
shutting out the Georgians, only giving
them four hits. 1t was the first full game
he has pitched i'm many years.
Although the league started out in
good shape, 1t finds itself at the end of
the season with the balance on the wrong
side of the ledger
New Orleans took the lead from Mont
gomery about the middle of the season
and has easily held it ever since
Next season the league will be oper-
ated on different basis, the railroad
companies owning the franchises. The
prospects are bright. Besides the cities
composing the league there are several
outside towns that desire to enter. Each
and all promise to put strong teams in
the field.

Fifteen Persons Said to Have Been KILLED
Much Damage.

Much Damage.
A special in yesterday mornings Con-
stitution from Selma says:
w. j. Holley, prominent planter and
O. reliable man, was a visitor to Selma
today.
He lives near Augustine, in Perry coun-
ty, about sixteen miles from Marion and
about sixteen miles from a telegraph sta
ton, and reports q. most destructive cy-
clone having visited his community on
Thursday evening, dwelling fences, up
roofing trees and sweeping everything in
It's path.
Twelve negroes and three white people
were killed outright by houses falling in
on them and about ten people were more
or less injured.
Twenty-four head of horses and mules
were found crushed to death in barns,
and five head of cattle were discovered
lying under an old gin house with two
large and heavy stills pinning them to the
ground.
About o'clock in the afternoon, with
the barometer falling, 1t suddenly grew
dark, and heavy wind followed by a
tremendous rain, came up.
Trees bent before it's fury and houses
began to move from off of their founda-
lions.
The rain was the heaviest that has
fallen in that section within the last fif-
teen years, overlooking creeks and turn
ing branches into raging torrents.
1t swept away corn, cotton and other
crops, and the damage caused by it can
not be estimated. The wind pursued a
southwest course, then made a slight
turn and changed to northerly direc-
ton.
A great many people around Augustine
have lost everything they had and are
in pitiable condition.
Mrs. Holley, who was returning home
from the postoffice on horseback, was
carried a short distance by the cyclone,
but, fortunately, escaped without re-
ceiving injuries.

Stops Pair OF Runaway Horses ana saves
the Lives of Two Women.
Chicago Times-Herald.
Harry Vernon the jockey, is a hero
now. manly act, backed by prompt
courage, stopped a pair of runaway
horses on Michigan avenue yesterday
noon and saved serious injury to the
frightened occupants of stylish
equipage. -.
Vernon was seated in the carriage
which contained Mrs. Louise Conrad, wife
of a wealthy New York brewer, and her
daughter. The coachman was driving
south on the boulevard, and had just
passed Congress street, when passing
member of the Riverside Wheel club ac-
cidentally struck one of the horses with
his wheel. The team at once became un-
manageable and ran away. Instead Of
dashing down Michigan avenue, the
horses reared and plunged over the side
walk near the lake front park, and hnally
rushed madly toward the lake. The park
is literally torn up and blocked with con-
struction material in this locality, and
the occupants of the carriage were com
PEELED to hold on to the seat for their
lives.
The driver pulled desperately at the
safety straps on the reins until they
snapped, and he fell to the ground. While
the horses were dragging the rig toward
the lake young Vernon climbed over the
seats, ran along the carriage pole and,
seizing the horses by the bits, swung
himself into what seemed to be the jaws
of death in an effort to stop the wild run
of the horses. They dragged him $50
yards, when his heroic energy was crown
ed with success. People cheered him to
the echo for his pluck, and he emerged
from the incident without injury or dam
age, except the complete destruction of a
suit of clothes. Mrs. Conrad and daugh-
ter were profuse in their gratitude, and
commended Vernon for his bravery.
