MCKINLEY TO CAPTURE FLORIDA.
The State Convention Almost sure
to BE Carried for Him.


Jacksonville. Fla. Feb. 1.-THE repub-
leans or Duval. the largest county in the
state. held a convention here to-day to
elect eighteen delegates to the state and
district conventions. to be held at Talla-
hassee, which will select delegates
to ST. Louis. The primaries. a few nights
ago, were hOtly contested. The Morton,
Reed and Allison forces combined 10 Sc
cure an anti-McKinley delegation. but
they were defeated. The triple combina-
ton sent contesting delegations from
nearly every precinct. but many Of those
whose names appeared as contestants said
their names We're used without authority
and they repudiated the action of the
Morton-Reed boilers and withdrew from
the contest.
The contestants, however, were treated
LDerally by the convention, and some of
their delegates were seated by the COM
mittee on credentials and participated in
the convention and worked on the princi-
pal committees. When it was seen, how
ever, that only Mckinley delegates would
be sent to the state convention, a few
OF the Morton. Allison and Reed men with
Grew from the hall and held "Rump'
convention, which was nothing more than
an organized mob and without any vestige
Of right or regularity.
The regular convention proceeded with
It's work and a strong and most pro-
nounced Mckinley delegation was select
tu 10 DOLn the state ana district COnVen-
tons. Among the delegates chosen are
Chairman Eagan and Secretary Lee of
the republican state committee. The re-
suit in Duval means that Mckinley dele
CATION will undoubtedly be sent to the ma
tional convention at St. Louis.
Conventions were also held to-day in
Baker, Osceola, Suwannee and Jackson
counties, and delegations solid for McKin-
ley and the state organization were
chosen. So far nineteen counties have
acted, of which fifteen have instructed
for Mckinley.
Inc Mckinley canvass is well managed
by Eagan, Long and Lee, who are strong
with the working republicans of the state.
Inc canvass of Morton, Reed and Allison
has been managed by agents sent here
from New York and Washington, who
nave spent money lavishly, but have moth
ing to show for the expenditures.
birmingham, Ala. Feb ia special
from Asheville, St. Clair county, states
that the republicans of that county in
structed for Mckinley for President, and
Mr.. Vaughan for chairman of the state
executive committee. Seven counties
have thus far given the same instruc-
tions.

QUESTION.
Sweet Ethel. when 1 saw thee last
The bloom was on thy cheek.
Now thy pale lips. the roses gone
Refuse TO speak.
Thine eyes were won't to look on me
With laughter IN their light.
Now those bright orbs, so full of love
Are quenched in night.
wit thou not smile on me again.
Once, with thine olden grace?
Alasl the life that gave that smile
Has left thy face.
Near all love. yes very near.
They must not call me dead,
see them. know them, love them, hear
All that is said.
And always when they mourn for me
My arms shall fold them round;
They will not see me- for my feet
VIII make no sound.
But in the silence of day,
And the still hours of night,
I shall be there with soundless voice.
Like hidden light.
TILL by and by the hours will shine
With rays both soft and white,
And they shall hear their Ethel sing,
From Heavens hight.

Valdosta, Ca, Feb. 15-John Conley, a
prominent turpentine distiler at Dasher,
six miles below here, came to town to-day
and reported 20 the authorities that he
had killed negro at his still this morn
ing. The killing occurred about a. m, and
it is said by evidence before the coroners
jury, that il was done in self defense. The
negro was one of three tramps who have
been working about the still for several
days. This morning before day the house
in which they lived, and which belongs to
Mr.. Conley, was discovered to be on fire,
and in a little while it was entirely con-
stunned. Mr. Conley was aroused and went
to the scene finding the three negroes,
Williams, making no effort to save the
building or its contents. Mr.. Conley abuS-
ed them for their indifference when Hen
ry Williams grabbed an ak and started at
Conley, who raised a Winchester rifle and

Williams was a conductor for many years
on the Plant system and his case at the
time was pathetic. He was robust and
healthy and his affection was entirely that
of memory. He was perfectly rational, to
all appearances, except that he could not
remember his own name or that of any
thing. He states now that he remembers
everything that happened while he was in
that condition, but at the time he knew
nothing He ran two trips on the train, he
says, that are blanks to him now. He has
accepted a position here as baggage mas
ter at the Georgia Southern road.
