SHOTS AT A VARIETY SHOW.
Two Men Killed and Several Wound
ed in n Mining Camp.

Cripple Greek, Col, Dec. 31.-A shoOting
ARRAY in the Union theater, in the Ittle
mining camp of Victor. a few miles out,
threw the place into great excitement
Early in the evening the toughs of the
town gave it out that they would clean
out the Union, and when Manager Smith
of the theater accused Tom Pasco, one of
the audience, of being the leader, pitched
battle was precipitated.
The killed are: George Smith, manager
of the theater. and Tom PascO.
The wounded are; George Ferguson,
mortally; Robert Smith, shot in the thigh;
Fred Ellis, left arm broken by shot and
several others received flesh wounds;
Victor has always borne an excellent
reputation as a mining camp free from
saloon brawls and shooting ARRAYS.
Saloons and dance halls have been run
ming night and day ever since the camp
was starred and to-nights affair is the
first serious trouble the town has had.
The variety show at the Union was pro-
crossing as usual and the programme
was about half finished, when Manager
Smith came in from his office and walk
ed TO a table at which were seated nNe
or six men. One of them was Tom Pasco,
a well-known man about the camp. Smith
accused him of being the leader of a
gang of toughs which We're scattered
about the theater, and told him he had
heard the toughs had come down to clean
out the place The lie was passed instant
ly and in tiffy dozen pistols were flash
Ing IN LiE SdSllSIl. bGlOIG any Olie tulAu
interfere Pasco had brought his pistol
to level with Smiths head and had let
its contents go. Smith dropped on his
knee and as he fell he was seen to draw
his gun. A report rang out and Pasco
reeled and fell almost directly across
Smith.
The shooting then became general and
when the smoke had cleared away nearly
every light in the place had been shot out
and it was some time before sufficient
lamps could be obtained to allow the mar
shal to see who had been killed.
1t is a miracle that but two were killed,
as bullet marks are everywhere. Some
the wounded left the place for their
camps without saying who they were
and a full list of the injured cannot be
obtained.

AFRAID OF GROWERS POPULARITY
An Anti-CIeVeIand Conference Pro-
posed by Kansas Man.

Jackson, Miss, Dec. 31.-Promlnent
democrats here and elsewhere over this
state have received typewriter letters
from one Waiter n. Allen of AIeriden,
Kan, asking cooperation in an anti
Cleveland movement. One of these let
ters. addressed to Senator J. Z. George
has been shown the Southern Associated
Press correspondent. 1t begins as follows:
Enclosed find proposition for a national
conference Of anti-Cleveland men and re-
form forces. / ask that you read IL and
then send it to some democratic editor in
your state, who will notice same"
Senator George viii take no stock in
any such conference though like d large
third term for Mr.. Cleveland or any other
man. He cannot be inVeigled into move
ment that SaVOrs so strongly of pOpulism.
Mr.. Allen. who is neither democrat nor
republican, judging by his circular, sug-
geSts that the conference be held a week
after the democratic national convention,
which he predicts will end in row. He
proposes to get all the dissatisfied ele-
ments together Span the river of preiu-
dice and form an alliance against the COM
mon enemy. The Cleveland-Carlisle adj
ministration.'
Ledger, the official journal of Mississippi,
says: I'VE are opposed o Mr.. Cleveland
for a third term. but shf aid the party in
convention again nominate him, we VIII
give him a warm support; but we are OPP
posed to any conference such as Mr.. AL
len proposes. It is unnecessary TO say that
Senator George and other democrats, 10
whom the circular has been sent will de-
cline to have anything to do with the
proposed conference

TO TINKER WITH THE TARIFF.
The ways and Means Committee to
Begin Work Next week.

Washington, Dec. 3i.-Chairman Ding
ley of the ways and means committee
Will not leave Washington during the
holiday recess. He has been so busy with
his public work that his correspondence
has fallen badly in arrears and the in
teTvenlng time between now and the
reassembling OF congress- will be neees-
sary to complete II. Mr.. Dingley Will
not call the ways and means committee
together until the latter part OF next
week, at which time the subcommittee
will be appointed and a programme OF
work prepared. one OF the first matters
which Mr.. Dingley purposes bringing to
the attention of the committee will be
certain amendments to the administrat-
i've features of the present tariff law with
a view to preventing under valuations of
imports. A strong necessity exists, Mr..
Dingley says. for the correction of some
of the defects in the administrative law.
There are also other matters coming
within the jurisdiction of the ways and
means committee upon which action will
be taken, but of these the chairman does
not care TO speak of in detail at present.

DuNRAvEN's DEFEAT.
The Committee Finishes the Taking
of Testimony.

New York, Dec. 31.-The special COM
mittee Of the New York Yacht Club, sit
ting as a court of inquiry into the charges
made by Lord Dunraven against the
people in charge of the Defender con-
cluded its labor of taking testimony in
the case at noon to-day. The long ar
ray of witnesses who took the stand on
behalf of the Defender syndicate and
gave evidence entirely refuting the char
ges of foul play brought by the Irish
earl, had all been examined by last
night with the exception of some of the
riggers from New York and Boston, who
added their quota this morning to the
already overwhelming mass of rebuttal
testimony.
George r. Askwith, Lord Dunraven 3
counsel, came alone for the first time
since the session opened. ]. A. G. Hill
tomn, Lord Dunravens private secre-
tary who was one of the stenographers
of the hearing, left for London on board
the North German Lloyd steamer Havel
this morning.
Nothing could be gotten out OF any
member of the investigating committee
after the adjournment beyond this from
Mr.. Whitney: 1T will be some days be-
for the report will be ready The evil
dence has all been taken, and we are
through, except for making the report

committee may be expected

and that in case of any sale Of bonds un-
after due advertisement and after pro
pOsals being ~lvited; and then only 10
the highest bidder. He asked for its im-
mediate consideration.
Mr.. Sewell, rep, OF New Jersey, objected
to the consideration Of the resolution, and
il went over.
Later Mr.. Sewell withdrew his objection,
but it was renewed by Mr.. Hin, who re-
marked that the point as TO the a9ver-
tisement and sale of bonds was provided
for in the House bill now before the
finance committee. and which, he sup
posed would be reported to the Senate
within a reasonable time.
'Unquestionably," Mr.. Aldrich, n mem
her of the finance committee broke in, 1t

orably"

No InIsIing ObtaInabIe ns 10 Its Mem
bership or number.

Washington. Dec. 3i.-No information
whatever can be obtained at the white
house as to whether the President has
yet come to any decision I'm regard 60
the membership OF the Venezuelan COM
mission. either as to the number or per-
sonnel Both are left absolutely az the
discretion OF the President by the terms
of the resolution, without even the for
mality of communicating with the Senate
on the matter. The exact text OF the res
olution as adopted by both houses Of con-
gress was as follows.
BE it enacted by the Senate and House
Of Representatives OF the United States
of America, In congress assembled, thai
the sum of Sl0O,O00. or 50 much thereof
as may be necessary, he and the same is
hereby appropriated for the purposes OF
commission to be appointed by the
President 60 Investigate and report upon
the true divisional line between the Re
public of Venezuela and British Guiana" ="
II will thus be seen that authentic in
formation as to the composition of the
commission can proceed only from two
sources-the President or the person to
whom he tenders the office. The presi-
dent has not spoken, and there Is no good
reason to believe that any one of the gen
tlemen whose names have heen widely
mentioned in connection with the posi-
tion has authorized a statement to be
made on his behalf The circumstantidl
story sent out some days ago that the
President had rendered one place on the
commission to Richard II. Halvey of Ma
ryland. chief justice of the court of ap-
peals or the District of Columbia, and
that he was holding the matter under
adViSement turns out to be entirely un-
true, and il is quite possible that the
other names mentioned may be equally
composed OF gossip and guess work.

A DEADLOCK IN MARYLAND.
One of the Democratic Senator's Goes
over to the Republicans.

Annapolis, Md, Dec 31.-Indications at
a late hour tonight point to a deadlock
in the upper house of the Maryland leg
islature. The democrats have fourteen
votes, while the republicans have but
twelve, but Senator w. Caben Bruce of
Baltimore refused tonight to go into
democratic caucus and the majority was
forced to nominate its candidates with
out him.
The republican senator's met, discussed
the situation. appointed a committee to
wait on Mr.. Bruce to offer him their sup
port as candidate for president of the
Senate, and finally adjourned at near
midnight till tomorrow without taking
any action. 1t is thought that Mr.. Bruce
will be the republican candidate for
president
The thirteen democrats nominated John
Walter Smith of Worcester county for
president. Mr.. Smith served as president
of the preceding Senate.
The republican members of the House
oil delegates nominated Ex-Congressm
Sidney F. Mudd of Charles county for
speaker. Baltimore City's candidate
William H. Schilling, received % votes to
40 for Mr.. Mudd on the first ballot.

members of the House caucused, but ad-

An Indignation Meeting over Sour
riIOus Publications.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Dec. 31.-The riot
call was sounded from the court house
at Cleveland, Tenn, to-day as a precon-
certed signal to summon the citizens Of
this quiet town together for the purpose
of condemning certain scurTillous publ
cations made in two weekly sheets which
are debarred from the United States mails
under the act prohibiting carrying of OBJ
scene literature, and which grossly re-
fiected on the character of the young
ladies of the Centenary Female College. It
was remarkable gathering of business
and professional men, composed of the
best citizens of Cleveland, and fairly buD-
bleds over with Indignation. Judge p b.
NJ, field presided over the mass meeting
Red-hot resolutions were put through
without a dissenting voice, characterizing
ISLANDERS and baseless fabrications libelous
in the extreme and designed to injure the
institution among strangers.
DR.. David Sullins, the aged president OF
the college, and a widely known educator.
was present and two newspaper men on
the committee of resolutions were among
the most indignant.
The most offensive feature of the publ
cation was the cartoon accompaniment,
which pictured a highly modernzed ver~
sion of the Romeo-Juliet scene. The girls
were shown in deshahille, climbing out
over a balcony to meet the young Lo>
tharios, who were coming up a ladder
placed to aid their descent. The origin OF
the articles was in the lark of five CAV
Chattanooga youths, who were accused
of flirting with the young ladies while
visiting the town and their subsequent

The Express Agent duplicates the
Mayor and Coroner.

Wilmington, N c.. Dec. 31.-A special to
the Star says that the alleged robbery of
the Southern express agent at Roseboro,
n. c.. station on the Cape Fear and
Yadkin Valley railroad of $3.50, by
masked men a few days ago. has turned
out to be no robbery at all. According to
the confession of Agent Grier, It was a
deliberately planned and executed con-
spracy, participated in by himself, Dr.
Fleet J. Cooper, the coroner of Sampson
county, and Redden Butler, the mayor
of Roseboro.
Cooper and Butler were arrested Mon
day and had a preliminary hearing before
