of the men turned and fired at Gray

distance OF about twenty yards; one OF
the bullets barely missed his head and
the others came uncomfortably near.

Fear Thunder.

Electric storms are far less danger
Gus than the majority OF people imag-
inc. That severe lightning storm is
terrifying admits OF no question, and
will sometimes bring great uneasiness
to the heart of the strongest man. But
the real danger is slight. The chance
of lightning striking house, for eN-
ample, is not one in q million. Par,
ticularly is this true in cities, strung,
as most of them are, with electric
wires. The great danger from electric
storms is in the country, and even
there the danger may be lessened If
the simplest and most common sense
of precautions are exercised. The sur
est electric conductor is draugnt,
and if, when q thunder storm ap,
proaches, it is seen that all windows
and doors liable to occasion dranght
are ke closed, the danger is at once
reduced to minimum. II woman is
caught out in thunder storm The
safest shelter is house; the most dan
gerous tree, particularly an oak tree.
It is peculiar, but nevertheless a prov
en- fact, that the oak is the mos!
susceptible of all trees 10 cur
rent OF electricity. Over so per cent
of trees struck by lightning storms
during the summer, the government
statistician tells US, were oaks, while
the beech tree was the least harmed.
Therefore, the worst possible place OF
shelter in an electrical storm IS under
an oak tree, while by all cdds the SAT
est place is in house and out OF the
draught. The actual danger from an
electric storm is, in truth, not from
the lightning nor the thunder, bu'
from the nervous condition into which
persons allow themselves 10 fall.

Office OF Sumter county it has been re-

Fatal Boiler Explosion.

and occupied by the Reading Iron COM
pany. One man and a baby was kill
ed and thirteen men hurt, six OF them
seriously. The furnace was not in
use and brick layers were repairing it.
The boiler was lifted by the force OF
the explosion from its bed through
the mill wall and flying across the
street, crashed through the fraii walls
of an Hungarian boarding house,
killing the baby. The cause OF the
explosion cannot be determined to-

People In Florida Starving.

JACKSONVILLE, Oct. 5. Every re.
port in regard to the storm increases
the death list and the estimate of the
property lost. The condition of the
people in the storm district is appal-
ing and there is urgent need OF aid to
prevent starvation. Advices- from
Baker say While the suffering in
Baker county is great from the effects
of the storm, the damage is also very
great. 1t is estimated that the total
loss aggregates some $250,000. San
derson's loss will reach fully $4,000,
of which George p. Canova, one OF
the leading merchants, is damaged
abouut $4,000 and Mrs McPons
5000 to $4,000. Olustee's loss is
about $4,000, of which the Eppinger
Russell company lose about SIS, 900.
Johnville's loss is about $G0,O 900, Of
which the turpentine men lose in the
neigh5orhood Of $4,000. McClen
ney's loss is about 100000. The bal
ance is distributed among the farmers.
The above does not include loss Of
cattle, which cannot be estimated un-
til spring, Baker county being large
cattle raising section. In consequence
of the The above losses, the county
commissioners have issued the follow
ing appeal which explains itself:
Tc His Excellency, Hon. Henry l..
Mitchell, Governor OF the State OF
Florida.
The board of county commissioners,
in regular session, do respectfully peti
ton your excellency. in his good judg-
ment, to dev.se some means to ASST
the suffering people Of this (Baker)
county in their sad aliiction caused by
the storm of last Tuesday. The peo-
pie are in destitute circu instances,
without shelter to cover their heads,
without food to appease their hunge",
and great many are without change
of clothing. We would suggest to
your exceilency thatan earnest call to
uninjured counties TO come to our aid,
or if necessary, call for an extra ses
sion of the legislature, would ce Of
great moment. But one gin house
stands in the county, every church and
school house is destroyed and the mer-
chants who are heavy losers are un-
able to contribute to the distressed.
Most all farmers in the county have
lost their cotton crops, just housed and
ready for market, and as aconseGuence
are unable to pay the merchants for
advances and fertilizers furnished and
even to purchase food for their suffer
ing ones. We suggest that contrlbu-

BYNUM TAKES A GLOOMY VIEW
Says Mckinley VIII Have to Hustle
TO Win.

New York, Oct. 5.-Congressman
W. D. Bynum, who recently resigned
as chairman of the National Gold
Democratic Committee, arrived in the
city last night. Mr.. Bynum's business
is to raise money for the campaign,
that Indiana, Illinois and other States
may be carried for Mckinley. Don
M. Dickinson. Of Michigan, also ar
rived in the city yesterday, and it is
expected that Mir. Dickinson and Mr.
Bynum will have conference with
the Republican leaders today. The
ex chairman of the Hannacratic Com
mittee is not as certain of the outcome
OF the election as he was tEo weeks
ago. Speaking Of the situation in Hi.
nois and Indiana, Mr.. Bynum said:
Anybody who talks a5ou: what
Indiana or Illinois will DO does not
know what he is talking about. In

out about three carloads OF literature
every day.
in Indiana many Democrats will
vote for Mckinley, but many Republi
cans who are going to vote for Bryan.
Ofcourse the Democrats lack organiz2-
ton, but anybody who thinks they
have no votes is badly mistaken. No
body knows just how the farmer yo' e

The Deficit OF 1896.

The deficit for the fiscal year ended
last Tuesday week is estimated at
about $25, 100000. which is some IS,
600, 900 more than was estimated by
Secretary Carlisle in his last report.
It is much less than the deficit of 1895,
which was $43 ,00O,0 900. There is some
cheer in the circumstances that in
June the receipts of the government
were 81, 100000 more than expendl
lures. But the Congress just adjourn
ed appropriated some $50,00O,0O0 more
than the expected receipts of the year
1897, so that we are in for another de-
felt.
This deficit was caused not out OF
necessity. There was no need fol-
Congress to spend all that money, but
in order that tariff robbers might fill
their pockets at the expense of the
people their representatives willfully
maliciousIy and with malice afore-
thought, made useless appropriations
to the extent of over $50,000.0 900, sc
that it might be said the revenues
were insufficient, and thus discredit
the tariff reduction made by the
Democrats.
