"Klutz" is a new name in North Car

probably no name in North Carolina

he seconded the, nomination of Bryan

After sulking in his tent for few
weeks, on account of his defat by Me
Kinley at ST. Louis, Speaker Reed
again bobs up with the announcement
chat he has Suspended his determine
ton to withdraw from politics and SET
tie down in New York and practice law.
He has permitted the fact to be an
nounced that he will be a candidate
for Congress. But this does not neces-
sarily mean that he viii be elected.
The growth of silver sentiment is such
even among the Republicans of Maine,
that it looks now as if the Gar Speaker
will have a close call if he is not more
disastrously routed than in the Pres.
idential contest at st. Louis. Misfor-
tunes never come singly.

JACKsON's DEFENSE.
His Counsel Claims the Evidence
Does Not warrant Conviction.

Cincinnati, MAY 13-Crawf0rl's voice
was hOarse this morning when he resumed
his speech in defense OF Scott Jackson.
He referred TO Locke's testimony that
there was a clot of blood on the bank
where the body was found, indicating that
some bloody object had been wiped there.
and that the blood on the privet bushes
appeared to have been left there By some
bloody object passing across the bushes.
''YOu will remember" said Col. Crawford.
that IL rained that night. Could not the
rain which fell that night have gathered
some of that blood and left &c in the drops
which gave the appearances Of squirting?
That is the whole explanation OF the blood
''If the girl was not killed at Fort
Thompson, where are you going TO say she
was killed2"
The speaker paid his compliments In a
decidedly positive way to the expert medi-
cal testimony. He read an extract OF
lecture by Dr. Draper of the Harvard
Medical School. in which expert testimony
was characterized as ridiculous and dis
grace to the profession.
Col. Crawford concluded his speech at
noon. He claimed the murder IS still
mystery and offers no explanation of the
crime, except that the prisoner is not
"There has been an EFFORT in this case"
said he, ito convict the prisoner by eX-
post facto evidence, by a horde of news
paper reporters and Policemen, who did
not see him until long after the crime.
There has not been particle of direct
eircumstantial evidence against this pris-
oner. He cannot be convicted upon tho
evidence"
Col. Crawford's appeal was earnest and
pathetic Let this boy go back he said,
"and be the support to his mother in the
declining years which she hoped he
would.
"Genuemen of the jury, return him to
her; he is innocent. here is the mother
waiting to hear the glorious words: He is
not guilty / am sure she will hear the
words and that her son Will be returned
to her arms. l leave it with YOU"
The mother lay for a moment in her
chair as still as death. Her hands began
to tremble and her face tWitched with an
guish. A woman sitting by her leaned
forward to fan her
Col. Lockhart closed the argument for
the commonwealth. He spoke only three
hours, combining himself 10 a close com
pact summary of the evidence
Col Lockhart finished at 5:03 o'clock,
and Judge Helm said that on account of
a hard days work the jury would not be
given the case until in the morning. lie
ordered them not to talk about it, or to
think about II any more than possible.

New York, May 13.-An interesting Incl
dent, In connection with the shooting OF
two Princeton students last spring. has
just become known. When the wounded
men were examined. 1t was decided that
nothing could save the life Of one Of them,
except an immediate operation. A tele-
gram was sent to DR.. Bull In this city.
He received the message after midnight
and at once went to the Pennsylvania rail-
road station in Jersey City. The last
train having gone, he asked for a special
engine and car. He was informed that
he would be Obliged to pay a deposit OF
500 and also promise to meet any fur
ther bill that the company might present.
DR.. Bull assented to this proposition, and
the train was made up. He waited for
some time for the bill from the company,
and finally wrote asking that one should
be sent him. Instead of receiving a bill
he received check for the 500 he had
paid, and a note saying that the company
would make no charges for the special
train as the service was sin the Interest
of suffering humanity"

desires to see North Carolina take the ini-
tiatiVe and see the populist party here put

and If no other state will follow North
Carolina viii at least put that much more
silver in circulation. He protests against
nese yen to our money circulation. He
calls on all silver men to unite in these de-
mands.
Senator Butler, in a leading editorial in
his paper, says that the republicans are
striving to ruin the populist party by as
sertiOns that he and it are under obiga-
tions TO the republican party for his cleo
tlOn to the long term as senator. He de-
clares that If his party believes this and
considers his holding that position a STUN

resignation. The anti-Butler populists,
who are in rebellion against Senator But
Ter, are here trying to make arrangements

Fire Was Discovered.
Valdosta. Ga, May 13.-Three tresues
on the savannah. Alabama and Western
road were fred last night As a result
traffic on that division has been suspend
ed for a greater part OF to-day. One Of the
trestles spanned the Alapaha river and
was one OF the longest on the line. Six
bents were burned under It when the
flames We're checked.
A train en- route 10 Savannah was
stopped early this morning, near Pidcock,
by burning trestle. and was delayed
there two or three hours. When Il reach
ed Ousley. a station. a few miles west OF
here, II was tagged again. and passed
over a trestle which was then on fire.
The two last named fires were small. and
were easily repaired. The fire at the
Alapaha river was the most serious. and
il was only by the hardest work that the
road could be gotten in any sort of shape
for a train to pass to-day.
The passenger train, which was due to
leave here this morning at o'clock, did
not leave until o'clock this evening. No
train has reached here from Savannah
since last night.
II seems that there was a plot last night
TO burn several trestles, as II Is hardly pos
sible that all the fires were accidental.
The heavy travel to Savannah this week
makes It appear as II the fires were kin
died by train robbers, who expected to
find easy work In a wreck that might

THE A. P. A. WAR ON M'KlNLEY
THE SUPREME COUNCIL LIKELY TO
REPUDIATE IT.

The Fight Begun by the Executive
Committee of the Advisory Board
of the Order-Much Feeling Ex-
pressed and the Executive Com
mittee Severely Criticfsed-The
Committee Adheres to Its Posi-
tiOn.
Washington, May 13-Every Indication
points TO an absolute repudiation by the
supreme council of the a. p A, now in
session in this city. of the action taken by
the executive committee of the advisory
board against McKiniey's candidacy.
There has been much feeling expressed
over the matter and the executive COM
mittee has been severely criticised. The
members of the body have not given any
indications of backing down, but meet
the criticisms with limitations that those
composing the supreme council are en-
deavoring to get in line with his friends
since Mckinley has shown such strength.
The trouble in the organization has been
intensified by the action of the executive
committee Of the advisory board this ev-
ening in presenting to the board a report
adhering to its anti-NIcKinley decision.
1t is likely that the advisory board Will

will take the question of McKinley's re-
pudiation out of the hands of the su-
preme council and will allow the advisory
board to make another report to the con-
vention.
The most important matter before the
convention to-day was the reading Of the
annual message of Supreme President
TraynOr. 1t took i. II. Dunbar of Bos-
ton. the supreme secretary of state, an
hour and three-quaTters to deliver it. Most
Of the message dealt with the internal bus
mess affairs of the order, such as the rea-
tlOns of local and supreme councils, and
the authority of one over the other
Other reports were also read That of
Supreme Secretary Beatty said that 1853
charters for new councils had been issued
during the past year. A lively canvass is
being conducted for the supreme presi-
deucy.
Dr. Ford, a prominent member who
went back to his home in New York. Judge
Bowers of Iowa and e. II. Dunbar of Bos-
ton are considered the leading candidates.
State President EChOls of Georgia is also
spoken of for the Office. He is a democrat
and some of the members think his selec-
tiOn would dispose Of possible embarrass-
ment arising from the election of some
man who may have expressed himself for
or against Mckinley.
Several committees were appointed to-
night That on political action is J. W.
Echols of Georgia, L. +. S. Davis of Massa-
chusetts, Z. H. Sellers of Michigan, J. L.
Gilbert of California and Allison Stockton
of Colorado.
