NORTH. CARoLINA's POPULIsTs.
They Decline the Terms Of the Dem
Ocrats for Fusion.

Raleigh, N. C., oct. 1.-THE populist
state committee met here tonight. A
number of other leading members Of the
party were also present. The proposition
of the democratic state committee for
state, congressional and legislature fusion
was read and discussed. A subcommittee
was appointed to draft reply
The sentiment OF the majority Of the
committee is adverse to the proposition.
The reply informs the democratic commit
tee that 1t is too late to cooperate and
that an agreement on the line suggested
would not be supported by the populists
1t calls the attention Of the democrats to
the declaration in their state platform
that the republican party must be de-
feated as the prime object in view. The
committee says It relies upon the demo-
Gratis to keep their word on this matter
This virtually means that the only thing
the democrats can do is to support Guth-
rie, the populist nominee for governor.

BUNCE'S FLEET OFF GOTHAM.
The Warships Have stormy Pass

age From Hampton Roads.
New York, Oct 14-Admiral Bunce's
fleet arrived in this port from Hampton
roads to-day and dropped anchor off
ThompkinsviHe at $3.50 o'clock this after
noon.
The fleet, consisting of the battleships
Maine, Indiana and Texas and the cruis
ers New York, Columbia Montgomery ana
Raleigh, started on Monday morning from
Fort Monroe, Va, for this port
soon after the fleet got under headwav
the iightship Cape Charles, which was
drifting away was picked up by the
Montgomery and handed over to the Raj
elgh. There were five men aboard and
they had been adrift since early morn,
ing in the heavy sea. AS soon as the Raj
eigh got under way with her the cables
parted. 1t was evident the Raleigh could
not take care Of her, and Admiral Bunce
decided to send the powerful Columbia 70
their assistance. The Columbia took the
hghtshlp In tow for port expecting to soon
overtake the rest of the squadron. bu,
the fleet reached here without her.
1t was nightfall when the squadron got
fairly under way again. Great waves
We're threatening, and the gale was con-
stantly increasing. 1t was the first Sc
we're strain the Indiana had been sub
JCStCU ", anu ler luTTelS began to shake
loose At first this was not considered
serious, but the trouble grew worse. The
big clamps were seen to be inadequate for
holding them in the storm The New
York signalled to her, but the Indiana an
swered that she was all right She slow
ed down to a speed of about five knots
and repaired damages, while the New
York lay by. Then the two ships over
hauled the rest of the fleet early Tuesday
morning.
When Ensign Gilbert Smith Galbraith
of the Indiana was asleep on Tuesday
night, he was thrown out of his berth by
the rolling ship. At the same time a big
five-inch steel armor door leading to the
Junior officers quarters, aft, was slammed
shut. His left leg was caught by it and
broken AS soon as the Indiana anchor
ed he was taken ashore to the Presbyte-
rian hospital. The fracture was bad one,
and it is feared that he may lose his leg.
All day Tuesday severe gales and a very
rough sea were encountered, but the feet
kept together. But for the rough weather,
it is supposed the Columbia would have
made up her lost time. She is expected
here tomorrow.
The Indiana will probably be obliged to
go to the navy yard to fix the turrets.

were smashed, and the port life boat
amidships was crushed by coming into

Nashville. Tenn, Oct. H.-A gang of
masked men looted the little town of
Peryear in Henry county, early this morn
ing The citizens were awakened at 4

charge of their firearms. There were
eight men in the party and all were heav-
lily masked After robbing a number of
stores, the gang set fire to several build
ings, and then fed to the country
After the fires had been subdued a
posse was formed and started in pursuit

THREE BANK ROBBERS KILLED.
A Raid at Meeker Ends DIsastrOusIy
for the DesperadOes.

Rawlins, Wyo., Oct. IA. C. Moulton
of this place to-day received word from
Meeker, Col, to the effect that one Of the
boldest attempts at bank robbery that has
occurred for some time was undertaken
by three men yesterday. Meeker is located
sixty miles from any railroad or tele-
graph station, and the only news of the
affair is brought out by stage, and is very
meager. Three strangers entered Meekar
during the day, making their way to the
store of Hughes & Co., where the bank OF
Meeker is located. They succeeded in
holding up the clerks on duty, also the
bank cashier and looting the bank, but as
soon as they reached the street in their
effort to escape, thsy were met by sew
eral citizens and a hot battle ensued.
After the smoke had cleared away the
three robbers were found lying dead ana
one clerk, Victor Dikeman, and citizen,
named William Clark, had received SER
Gus wounds from the bullets fired by ths
robbers before they were moved down.
Photographs will be taken of the three
them. Some are of the belief that they
are part of a gang who came over the
Colorado line from Utah a couple of years
ago and attempted to hold up the bank a
Delta, Col, where they killed the presI-
dent of that bank, but before they could
get out of town two of their number were
shot and killed by a prominent hardware
merchant of that place.

GOLDITEs IN TENNESSEE.
Palmer and Buckner Warmly RE-

Columbia, Tenn, Oct. H-The Palmer
and Buckner train arrived here this morn
ing at Ii o'clock The arrival of the train
was not unexpected and crowd was wait
ing at the depot to see the distinguished
nominees of the national democratic party
for President and Vice President Gen.
Palmer and Mrs. Palmer and Gen. and
Mrs. Buckner were escorted to a carriage
drawn by four horses and driven to the
Bethel House. Other members of the par
ty followed in carriages provided by the
reception committee. The candidates
were greeted again by crowd which had
gathered at the hotel. The speaking,
which began at 1:30 o'clock, was attended
by large crowd, nearly every seat In the
big opera house being filled. There are a
large number of gold standard democrats
in Maury county. They are not very noisy
and demons trative, but they are firm and
reliable and will cast Their votes for the
national ticket in November Both the
candidates were greeted with applause
when they appeared ON the stage, and
their speeches for the gold standard and
for national integrity were listened TO with
close attention.
The arguments of the speakers were
convincing, and If no converts were made
those who believe in a stable and honest
financial system were stronger in their
faith than they were before. The dis
astrous effects of the free silver fallacy
was exposed with great clearness and
in unanswerable arguments.
Gen Palmer, who spoke first. was in
troduced by Rev. Alex Kiheffer At
times during the delivery of his mastery
address he was enthusiastically cheered
and frequently had to wait for some
seconds before he could be heard again.
The reception given to Gen. Buckner,
~ ipfrndnlneH n nv Hon Mfpha II
Savage was scarcely less enthusiastic
than that given Gen. Palmer. He re-
ceived an ovation and created a profound
impression.
The business men of Columbia are
nearly all for sound money, but are very
timid about expressing themselves. 1t
has been said that an open advocate OF
the gold standard would be boycotted
by the free silver people, and it is claim
ed this keeps many of them from ex-
pressing themselves, but they cannot be
kept from voting
Pulaski, Tenn, Oct. 14-A committee OF
twenty, with a brass band, went to Column
bia to meet Gems Palmer and Buckner,
the gold democratic candidates for the
Presidency. They met a cordial welcome
when they reached the city and the opera
house. where they spoke, was crowded
with possibly 600 people, who literally ap-
plauded the speakers.
Mayor King opened the meeting, well
coming the city's guests. saying that while
many differed with them politically, all
were glad to welcome them.
Gen. Palmer was introduced by Hon.
Flournoy Rivers, gold democrat, and
spoke for an hour Gen. Buckler has
many personal friends here, having once
been the guest Of Gen. John c. Browne.
The Kentuckian's appearance was a signal
for loud applause. Much of the cordiality
Of the meeting is due to the esteem in
which he is held by old soldiers who fol-
lowed him as a confederate officer. Many
Indies attended the meeting.
