National Prohibition Convention.

Pittsburg, Pa, May 2G.-Pittsburg
just now is political Denny Brook
Fair. A merry war is in progress
among the disciples of cold water
and the delegations to the National
Prohibition Convention are fighting
among themselves as enthusiastically
as il they really expected that the
candidates they will name to be
elected in November The fight is
not on the question of prohibition,
or the manner in which the rum
traffic shall be scotched, but on the
silver question, which is tying up
politics OF all kinds except populists.
The line has been sharply drawn.
On one side are the broad gaugers,
who have rallied around Rev. Charles

Nebraska, IS their choice for Presi-
dent. On the other are the mar
row-gaugers,n or the dominant

called. who have selected Mr.. Joshua

leader. No other names are men.

The Richmond Primaries.

Richmond, Va, May 21.-In one Of
the most apathetic Democratic prim
aries probably ever held here, the
sound money men today elected IS
of the 101 delegates to the Stauntop
convention to which this city is emit
tied. The free silver side elected 50,
and one independent Cleveland man
completed the list of those chosen.
\ large number Of sound money
business men kept out of the prim-
airy, and some of those who partici
pated have declared that they would
not support free silver candidate
for President ifthe unit rule is adopt
ed at the Staunton convention. The
result here to-day, some of the most
conservative Democrats admit, de-
cideS the fate of that rule in its favor.
The silver men claim that the re
suit of to.day's contest gives them
this congressional district and assures
them both delegates to Chicago. Mr..
c. V. Meredith, of this city, an ardent
friend of Mr.. Cleveland, was the
avowed sound money candidate on
his side for one of these places. His
defeat now appears highly probable,
if not certain. The free silver people
only had 81 candidates out to day,
while their opponents had 101.

Deadly CY clones.

Detroit, Mich, May ga terrible
cyclone, by which probably over 10(
lives were lost and fully 100 persons
injured, more or less seriously, swept
over Oakland, Lapeer and Macomb
counties last evening. The towns
struck, so far as the meagre tele-
graphic and telephone communica.
tons can ascertain, are Ortonville,
Thomas. Metamora, Mount Clemens,
lakewood and ST. Clair.
The town of Ortonville reports a
list of dead that aggregates seven
teen.
The towns of Thomas, lakewood
and Ortonville were almost wiped of
the face of the earth.
At Mount Clemens fully thirty
people were injured, but only four
seriously hurt.
From Thomas, which was practi-
cally destroyed, and Metamora, which
was partly destroyed, no list of names
has yet been obtained.
st. Louis, May 27.-St. Louis was
struck by cyclone of frightful fury
at q late hour this afternoon.
Hundreds of people were killed and
the property loss is beyond estimate.
At 5:20 p. H., the clouds that had
covered the city since noon broke
into a furious storm. Within ten
minutes the wind reached a velocity
of eighty miles an hour, sweeping
with it dense waves of rain. The high
speed of the wind previously recorded
here was through the electric wires,
the crash of debris that swept it in
every direction, the electric flashes
from tangled wires and crashing
thunder made scene indescribable
At p. III. the lowest estimate oil
fatalities in East st. Louis and this
city is placed at 800.

Chairman Harrity OF the Demo-
cratic National Committee, in late
interview, says that the outlook for
sound-money majority in the
Chicago Convention is somewhat
gloomy, but predicts that the sound
money men will finally win In his
opinion the fight will be close one
and its settlement one way or the
other may depend upon the election
of a few delegates. He denies, as has
been reported, that he favors the ex-
clusion of all silver delegates, who
announce that they will bolt the
convention in the event of the
adoption of sound-money plat
form. He would, however, favor
the exclusion of all delegates who
do not propose to abide by the
decision of the convention, whether
they be silver or sound money men.
He holds that delegates should not
be permitted to participate in the
proceedings who are not willing to
abide by the decision rendered by a
majority of the convention.

press gallery remarked. lined up
with the silver men and the Popu-

Buffers bill to prohibit the sale Of
bonds was under discussion, and Mr..

elaborate speech against the measure.
At the hour of 2 O'clock, test vote
was taken, and resulted 90 to 81 in
favor of the measure. Senator Mar
tin voted for the bill. Had Mr.. Mar
tin voted against if. there would have
been a tie, and the Vice President
would have cast the deciding vote,
which would have defeated it.
The vote to day defines the position
of the junior Senator from Virginia
on the financial question, and con-
firms the statement made a few days
ago that the two Virginia senators
were pretty well in harmony on that
subject.

Gen. John EcIIoIs Dead.

Staunton, Va, May 24-General
John Echols, receiver and general
manager of the Chesapeake, Ohio and
Southern railway, and president of
the Staunton National Valley Bank,
died here tonight, at the residence
of his son, State Senator Edward
Echols. General Echols was one of
the most prominent men in Virginia
and a man of remarkable versatility
of talent. A gallant soldier of the
Confederacy, at the bar he won a
leading position as lawyer and later
in life became a railroad manager
General Echols was born March 20,
1928, in Lynchburg. After teaching
school he entered the first class at
Virginia Military Institute and com
pleted his course of study at Wash
ington and Lee University and Har-
ward College. While yet young
man he moved to Staunton, where he
has since resided, though spending
the greater part of his time in Louis
vile, Ky, for the past ten years.
General Eohols was conspicuous
figure in the Confederate service.
Beginning his military career us lieu
tenent colonel of the Twenty-seventh
Regiment, Stonewall Brigade, he was
badly wounded at Kernstown and
later was made rigadier-general,
commanding the Confederate troops
in Southwest Virginia and Eastern
Tennessee. May 10, 1864, Echors and
Wharton's brigades. of General j. G.
Breckinridge's division, defeated the
Federals under Siegel. In 1865 Gen
eral Echols was the successor of Gen
eral Jubal y. Early as commander of
the rrans-AlleGhany department.
At the close of the war he was senior
member of the Southern law firm of
Echols, Bell & Catlett, and built up
large practice. For several terms
he represented Augusta in the Legis-
lature.

The colored brother, who has been
fortunate enough to secure an APP.
pointment as delegate to the st.
Louis Convention, is strictly lin it. :
He is now not only an object of at
tention at the hands of his white
brother, but can, if he is wise enough
to avail himself of his opportunities,
lay aside enough pennies to keep him
in good shape for many rainy days.
Already the bidding for his vote has
begun, and the fun will likely con-
tinue, which will be very interesting
TO him until after the convention adj
journs at st. Louis. A Washington
politician, friend of Reed, has
already arranged for a grand barbe-
cue for the special pleasure of the
colored delegates in that city on June
1st, and McKinley's manager, it is
stated is on his way to that city
with the sinews of war; Other
barrels will doubtless be opened
to them soon, and the colored brother
who has an eye to business should be
able to see, that the time has arrived
in the tide of his life which leads to
fortune.

AccoMAc COURT House, VA.
SATURDAY, MAY 80, 1896.
Entered at the Postoffice at AccomaC
G. H.. Va. as second-class matter.

The report of the secretary of the
meeting held at Accomac G. H., last
Monday, shows that Accomac is in
line with the great body of the PEG
pie of the State on the currency QueS
ton. The convention was well at
tended and the opponents of free
coinage made q vigorous fight
against the resolutions presented,
but the sentiment for free coinage
was too strong for them. No attempt
was made to endorse the unit rule
and none was necessary as no dele
gate appointed, who attends the
Staunton Convention, whatever his
views on the money question, can
make mistake as to his duty when
he gets there. They will, of course,
carry out the instructions adopted by
the meeting.
The sentiment in Accomac in favor
of the white metal seems to prevail
in most of the counties of the State,
and it looks now as if the silverites in
the State convention will be so large
ly in the majority that there will be
no necessity for adopting the unit
rule. They will have the power to
elect the entire delegation to Chica
go, and will doubtless do it. The
silver status in Virginia, according to
the statement of Congressman Otey,
head of the silver organization, sew
eral days ago, was as follows:
"Seventy-eight counties and cities
have acted, and 961 delegates have
been elected, of which 100 are for free
silver, 147 for gold, and As are unin-
structed. Of the go delegates yet to
be elected, 400 are certain for silver,
with nearly 800 to draw from besides.
SiXty-two counties are wholly for
silver, 4 for gold and - are unin.
structed, but majority of their del
egates are for silver
Now, he says, that "silver has
swept the State and is sweeping over
the whole country

The Elections Committee of the
House of Representative has de
cided that Mr. Tucker, of the Tenth
District, in this State, is entitled to
retain the seat which he now occu-
pies, and to the satisfaction it seems
of everybody but two Republicans of
said committee and General Walker,
the Republican representative OF
Virginia. He is working hard to
have the committees report rejected.
upon the ground that the unseating
of Tucker would have influence favor
able to the Republican party in Vir-
ginia, and it may be, that the con
test will be settled not upon its
merit as recommended by the com
mittee, but upon partisan grounds
to secure party advantage. General
Walker seems to have had but one
idea since he deserted the Demo
cratic party for the "loaves and fish
es'' that there was in the Republican
party, viz: to get all he can for him
self and his party associates, however,
unjust the means by which he can
secure them.

1t is conservatively estimated that
there will be fully 10000 people in
the parade in Richmond on the oc
casion of the laying of the corner
stone of the Davis monument. Two
thirds of them will be veterans and
one-third military. On that day
there will, no doubt, be 200, 900 stran-
gers in the city. The railroads will
be taxed to their fullest capacity to
carry all the people there. The Chesa-
peake and Ohio Company is now at
work getting every available car in
