HOW ILLINOIS wII.LyOTE.

Mr.. James Creelman, who is PERHAPS
STAFF correspondents. sends his paper
from Chicago a description OF Mr.. Bry-
ans appearance in the great Western
metropolis. Mr.. Crcelman, like his
paper. is an advocate of the single gold
standard. and, therefore his testimony
rs 10 Mr.. Bryan's reception in Chicago
is all the more interesting and signifi-
cant. He says:
Mr.. Bryan swept into Chicago
from the great corn prairics this
afternoon and began the great
struggle for the conquest of the
labor strondhold by making six
fierce speeches in the Western me-
tropolis, ending shortly before mid
night
The change from the open. sun
lii country. with its swarming null
iitudes OF good-natured farmers,
to the furious mobs rushing be-
tween the tall buildings OF the city,
seemed To inspire him.
He saw this afternoon-what
every honest observer saw-that
while the jeers and Kisses came from
the windows of the giant CONNER
cial houses. the hozannas swened
men on the sidewalks.
1T was Il significant sight. and
one that cannot be ignored by any
man interested in knowing how I'LL
nois will vote next Tuesday
This is the supreme battle of the
campaign. Mr.. Hanna may say that
he sees nothing in these mighty up-
heavals, but Mr.. Hanna is no fool"

that Mr.. Bryan will carry that State.

he believes it, and II The truth were

BLOWN LIMB FROM LIMB.
Thlrty-Six Sticks of Dynamite Was Acc
dentally Ignited.

Baltimore, March 21.-An explosion of
dynamite at Ellicott City, Md, today re-
suited in the fatal mangling of two men,
both of whom died soon after the awful
crash. Persons fifty yards away were
thrown to the ground, so great was the
conclusion, while windows were broken
and goods in a number of stores in the
town were thrown from the shelves.
Lee Williams, colored man employed
on the grading work of the Edmondson
Avenue, Gainesville and Ellicott City
Electric railroad, this morning placed
thirty-six large sticks of dynamite near
an open fire for the purpose of softening
the fuse preparatory to beginning blast
ing on the deep cut near the terminus of
the railroad. The fuse ignited and the
whole thirty-siX sticks exploded with q
deafening crash. Williams was thrown
20 feet, both legs were torn off above the
knees and one side of his head was badly
lacerated. One of his feet to which the
naked leg bone was attached, was found
100 yards away in vacant lot, and the
other foot was carried to the roof of a
dwelling over seventy-five yards from
the place of the accident.
John III. Claggett, eX-taX collector of
Howard county, was on his way to Eli
colt City and had paused a moment to
remark on the danger of risking the pow
erful explosive so near the blaze. He
had only given utterance to his, warning
when he was thrown some distance and
knocked unconscious. His left leg was
badly shattered and he was also seriously
injured about the head and body He
died this afternoon.

Think the Cold Has Damaged Fruit-Farm-

Greenville, Ala, March 21.-(Special)-
1t is feared that the recent cold wealth
'er has killed most of the fruit in this Sec
ton.
Farmers are busy putting In their crops.
Merchants are already complaining of
extreme dullness in business. We heard
two of our leading merchants discussing
the situation this week, and they agreed
that there was now less money in the
hands of the people generally than a
year ago at the close of the sc cotton
season, this all in the face of the fact
that we are told by some newspapers
that our farmers are reveling in pros
perity.
1 have talked with quite number of
democrats who heard Captain Johnston s
speech here yesterday, and they all join
in saying that it has done much for
democracy in this county. 1t was very
bad day and very short notice had been
given of his appointment, but he had a
good crowd, divided about equally be-
tween town and country people, We
hope the postoffice organ at Montgomery
will keep McIver up as its witness as to
frauds, etc. The more he has to say on
the subject the more convinced the peo-
pie are that there was no fraud in Nor
gan by Captain Johnston's friends, but
the howl is all because the Advertiser
and McIver were headed off from their
efforts to secure the delegation. What
a combination to charge anybody else
with fraud, Il heard a prominent demo-
crat say yesterday that the greatest piece
of insolent impertinence he had ever seen
was the demand of the Advertiser that
Captain Johnston condemn his : friends
for so-called fraud which they hadNn
committed. No doubt If this crowd
could get the captain to follow their ad-
vice they would be well pleased. Those
of us who know him here are not sur
prised at the editor of the News deserving
Captain Johnston. We believed that he
never Intended to do otherwise. and was
only waiting for the time to come when
he believed he could do him the most
harm.

To RECON- Old Silver Coins.

Washington, March 21.-All the old and
worn subsidiary coin of the United States
will be soon replaced by the new design
adopted in 1892. The progress being made
In that direction by the United States minis
is most encouraging to treasury officials.
For some years past efforts have been made
by the treasury department to keep this
subsidiary silver coin in good condition.
With this view appropriations have been
obtained from time to time to reimburse
the treasurer of the United States for the
difference between the face value of worn
subsidiary silver coin and what 1t would
produce when transferred to the mints for
recoinage. Since 1890 the amount of such
coin If worn and current and subsidiary
coin transferred to the minis for recoinagee
has amounted to 29,642,SS4. The value of
the same in new subsidiary coin is SIS. $780,
745 showing a loss by wear OF l.1066s
which was reimbursed to the treasurer of
the United States from appropriations
made by congress for that purpose. The
amount transferred from the treasury to
the minis from July /. 1898 to December 81.

him with embezzlement and forgery.
Col. ]. H Bankhead, member of con-
gress, was here today, and delivered two
addresses to the citizens, one at 2 p, m.
and one at 1880 p. m. The court and at
torneys and officers of the bar very kind
ly gave way and suspended business at
2 p. m. for Colonel Bankhead to make an
hour and a halfs speech to a well filled
court house; but as his speech was so
well received, and the colonepS time was
too short to tell half that he knew on the
money question, he was solicited to, re-
main and address our citizens at 7:3D p.
M. so our people had the pleasure of
again listening to the colonel in two
and a half hours speech. In the two
speeches he well covered the subject of
finance, and made plain every point on
the whole subject, He repeatedly sQlic-
tied question from anyone who, desired
to PROFOUND them, but none of the gold
bugs seemed to pour forth or propound
any questions to the colonel. No. speeches
ever made here were better received or
seemed to have a better effect than Col
onel Bankhead's addresses here today.
