a,,oup whom were D; Waters. Zed Easter,
Postmaster John A. Belt and Dr. Attof-
mack, were discussing the situation WIN
much veheInence. They attributed Tie
lynching of Randolph to the newspapers,
and were almost vitriolic in their denuiici-
alton of certain statements regarding tue
twine and red bandanas.
Mr. Belt feels that great injustice has
been done him. and believes that the expires
sions implicated him too directly
He said he did not think it night TO sum
mon him. and he wa read yto prove his in
nocence. 1t wa sexpIained 10 him that the
twine might have been procured at some
other postoffice and that no one had saidhe
used il.
He and the Gaithersburg people, however,
believe an injustice was done Mr. beit ID
having him summoned at all. 1t is evident
he has eneraies.
Mr. Belt stated this morning TO The Times
correspondent that the mnrning after the
ynching he saw on his store step-a red ban
dInna handkerchief He looked al 1t. but
lert 1T laying. A short time after. when he
came back to the steps. it was gone.
Il presume" addei Mr.. Belt, warmly and
angriiy, THAT some one has picked up that
bandanna and Will tell at the Inquest about
finding it on my steps,"
As tne discussion proceeded Dr. Waters
petame very vehement and, turning to
one newspaper man told him that If he
wanted any satisfaction TO come over across
the road and he would give 1t TO him.
AS the doctor is forty seven years old
the young man declined the challenge. 1t
was then that one OF the party threatened
the reporter as to what would be done TO
him if he did not stay away from Gathers
burg.
Truly the inlab are very badly
frig gh,ened.. According to information re-
Ceived this afternoon. two colored men were
threatened with Iypching by party of
| whites last night. The statement is said
to have come from Gen. Allan Rutherford,
who resides near Gaithersburg. 1t seems
| the white men heard that the negroes knew
something which might lead to the discov-
cry of the lynchers.
To determine what the colOred men knew
the party took them into the woods, and
putting ropes around their necks, thrsat-
cned to lynch them unless they disclosed
their information. The captives protested
| that they knew nothing. and after threats
| of death if they told anybody anything the
party left their victims frightened nearly
| to death.
KNOW A GOOD DEAL
| 1t is said the two men know a great
| deal, but are prevented from telling by the
threats Of vengeance made by the whites.
| In other words, efforts are being made 10
intimidate those likely To give strong con-
victing evidence.
An illustration of the cowardly threats
was an anonymous letter Received last
hight by Mr.. John Keichner, clerk to
| Sheriff Collier.
| The letter was postmarked at Deerwood
ana intmated to Mr.. Keichner that he
| was by far too Jealous. Jaier Peyton
| Went TO Deerwood this m-rning, and i,
is probable the writer will be apprebended
and arrested tonight.

ciude tonight, but win last several days

Bellefonte, Pa, July 7.-Saturday, at
Heela Park, while arranging for a balloon
ascension, Elias Dunkle, aged fourteen
years, was struck by falling pole. He
was picked up for dead, but, though most
of mis- teeth We're knocked out, his Jaw was
broken, and he was covered with bruises,
he is today as lively as ever. Two years
ago church was blown over in a storm
and some of the stones fell on Elias.
Three weeks ago a horse fell on him, but

Rescuers at the Twin Shaft Hope to

wiikesbarre, Pa, July There is but
little to report from the illfated Twin
shaft at Pittston this moning The same
slow progress is being made by the rescuers,
but no trouble is feared today from gas or
danger of any kind.
Mine Inspector Stein, one of the mine
commission and disinierested party, who
explored the shaft yesterday. was posi-
tive in his assertion that the mine was now
safe. This being confirmed by many of the
miners. the use of dynamite has been
sanctioned in small quantities, plan which
was heretofore steadfastly opposed.
A consultation will be held today anon 6
the officials, and if they concur, dynamite
will be used later in the day, which will
greatly aid in the work. The rescuers
have not advanced over eight feet since 8

Sabin Says He Will Get the Prison
City Vote.

Ex-senator D. NJ. Sabin, of Stiilwa-

at the Merchants hotel that there was
no politics left in the Prison City.
We have q good lhany patriots over
there who are working earnestly for
the good of the state, but their patriot
ism is too genuine to be partisan. In
deed, [ am so little IN their confidence
that 1 don't even feel justified in say
ing that the most of them are Repub-
hCans saltwater is positively dead
when it comes to active politics. Act
ualy, there isn't a. man there, so far as
l can see, that even wants to go to
st. Louis next June Yes, indeed,
Davis is very strong in our town. I
think that our delegation to Minneapo-
lis will be instructed for him, without
doubt. Clough, TOBIAS many friends
among us.
Il agree thoroughly with congress on
the Cuban question. The belligerency
of the patriots ought to be recognized
in the most effective manner. How
long did it take Spain to recognize the
confederacy when the rebellion broke
out here in this country? They never
hesitated for fear that 1t might en-
barrass the North, and yet we are ask
ed to wait until the Cubans have q reg
ularly constituted government. Sup
pose France had waited during the
Revolution until the colonists had Sc
cured such government? Where
would the United States be now?"

senator DebOe and Judge Holt Both
Withdraw in His Fa-
VOr.

FRANKFORT, KY, March 5.-The
Republican joint caucus met tonight
and by an agreement between Senator
w. j. Deboe and Judge w. H. Holt, the
Hon. st. John Boyle, of Louisville, was
declared the Republican nominee for
United States senator by acclamation.
The absentees were Carron, Dodson,
StiglitZ, Rice and Freeman. 1t was on
a motion to declare Senator Deboe the
caucus nominee that Senator Deboe de-
clined and proposed Boyle. In this he
was Immediately joined by Judge
Holt in a love feast of enthusiasm, in
which Boyle was chosen by acclama-
ton. Deboe made a thrilling speech,
and was followed by Boyle, who was
brought in by committee. Judge
Holt also addressed the caucus. The
only drawback was the action of Rep
resentative Tindle, who. when the an
nouncement of the selection of Boyle
was made, exclaimed that settles it
with me-" and left the caucus in ap-
parent ill humor.
The Democrats tonight drew the line
strongly between the silver men and
the sound money Democrats. A joint
caucus was held to hear the petition of
the sound money Democrats for the
withdrawal of Senator Blackburn.
Twenty-Five sound money Democrats,
including the twenty signers of the pc
tition, were also absent from the Dem
ocratic caucus. Senator Blackburn was
present. He said he was the caucus
nominee and only the caucus could re-
move him. He said it had been in the
power of five Democrats who had re-
fused to vote for him from the list
to elect him at any time. He said he
was determined no Republican should
be elected. The caucus adopted stir
ring resolutions in support of Black
burn, and adjourned. determined to
support him to the end.
FRANKFORT, KY, March 5.-Eight-
cen of the leading gold-Standard Dem
ocrats of the general assembly have
made a formal request of Senator
Blackburn to withdraw from the race
for senator. His failure to comply will
result in at least eighteen members
withdrawing their support from him.
Their action is the most important
that has been taken in the senatorial
contest on the Democratic side since
the nomination of Senator Blackburn
This action has been contemplated for
two weeks. The five gold-Standard
members, Messrs. Weissinger, Carroll,
Speight, Violet and Walker, who have
been standing out against Senator
Blackburn, did not sign the paper. Sen
ator Blackburn, when presented with
the resolutions asking for his with
drawal from the senatorial race, said
that if the Democrats will hold cn
open caucus tonight, and, then and
there, after full, non-partisan dis

BABCOCK STAYS IN.
Chairman of the Republican Con-
gressiOnaI Campaign Committee.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The
members of the Republican congress
sional campaign committee held their
first meeting tonight and selected the
officers who will have control of the
organization in this congress. Most of
the old board of the last committee
were reelected without opposition, al
though there had been preliminary ru-
mors of a factional disaffection against
Mr.. Babcock, of Wisconsin, who di-
rected the affairs of the committee in
the last campaign. This opposition did
not materialiZe, however, and Mr.. Bah
cock was reelected chairman, Mr. APPS
ley, of Massachusetts, vice president,
and William b. Thompson, of Michi-
gan treasurer. The executive COM
mittee chosen was Representatives
Hull, Iowa; Cannon, Illinois; Sherman,
New York; Overstreet, Indiana; Mer-
St. Paul daily globe., 1896-03-06

GER, Nebraska; Senators Pritchard,.
North Carolina; Pettigrew, South Da-
kota; Mitchell, Oregon.
Each state has one representative on
the committee and about thirty of the
members took part in the meeting
which was entirely harmonious. Mr..
Apsley, in nominating Mr.. Babcock,
said that in the last campaign he had
predicted the defeat of Wilson, Spring
er, Holman and Bland, and the cleo
ton of Morton in New York by a ma
jority of 100000, but had been laughed
at by the press of the country for his
prophesy. Mr.. Apsley said that the
prospects Of the Republican party had
never been more promising, and de-
clared there was no doubt that the
next house, senate and president would
be Republican.
Mr.. Hull, in nominating Mr.. Apsley,
said he deserved equal credit with Mr.
Babcock for the work Of the committee
in the last campaign.
