Washington Post says it does not
think it unfair to assume that the
newspapers which institute this com.
parison know that the great mass Of
the illiterates in the Bryan states did
not vote for Bryan. The Evening Sun
and the Mail and Express cannot be
unaware Of the fact that most OF the
illiterates in those states are Republl-
cans. So far as they voted at all they
cast their ballots for Mckinley and
sound money. 1t is not their fault
that they cannot read and write. They
are the freed men or the sons OF freed
men. In Maryland, Kentucky and
West Virginia the votes of the black
illiterates assured those states for Nc
Kinley. In states farther south the
colored men cast the bulk of the Re
publican vote. 1t seems strange, in
view of these facts, that intelligent
newspapers will try to convince the
ill-informed and credulous that litter
acy is a characteristic OF the Bryan

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25.-PriVate
advices received in the city today from
the American colony at MetlaItonca,
in the State of Pueblo, Mexico, gave
definite information OF assassinatlons
by Poems, which the Mexican govern
ment has until now been able to keep
secret. There are several Californians
in the colony and in view of recent
rcnrdArs thoy are fleeing to this coun-
.ry for their lives. The Mexican
government has sent troops to this
country in hope of capturing thu as
sassins, who during the past four
months have murdered three Amer
cans in cold b.ood. The colony was
formed about four years ago and mum

weyler sufrsrs a Severe Defeat.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Nov 26.-Col.
Jose Reyes, aide de camp Gsrc-sl
Maceo, wounded and tren route to New
York for medical Treatment and with
dispatches hestoottthe to the Junta, passed through
here yesterday. He says the fighting
in the Rubi hills of Pinar del Rio was
the most sanguinary battle of the war.
He claims that 1000 of Weyier's men
were killed in two days and twice as
many wounded. Weyler went to the
field with 81, coo men in three columns,
one of $4,000 under himself. one of
Is, 600 onder General Echague, and a
third column under General Munoz.
They found Msceo entrenched in a
crescent shaped range of hills. When
at the foot OF the hills the Spanish
were met with a wiihering fire that
cut gaps in their ranks. Maceo's men
shot from behind rocks and trees and
gradually gave wav before the Spani-
ards, who, encouraged by what they
thought to be victory, pursued them:
Suddenly deafening explosion rent
the air and a scene followed somewhat
like the mine horror ct Petersburg
during the civil war. Horses and men
were blown high in the air and fell to
the earth dead and mangled. The dy-
Mantle mine was touched off by John
Linn, formerly Of this city, who IS Ma
ceo's electrician. Maceo then let loose
his dynamite guns, prepared by Linn,
and r1ore havoc was wrought. In the
lnlne explosion Colonel Reyes says
Weyler lost 700 men killed and 500
more in the charge, besides 1000
wounded. Next day Maceo, knowing
of the reserve force under Weyler, re-
treated TO an even stronger position.
There he was attacked by the column
under Echague, who was roundly
thrashed and driven from the field, los
ing 800 men killed, besides 1900
wounded. Next day Maceo retreated
again, manoeuvring ell the while to
entrap Weyier into field that had
been nopeycombeG with dynamite.

EARTHQUAKE NOISES HEARD AGAIN
For two years prior to the August
earthquake of 1886 strange noises,
often like the reports of blasts, were
heard in the neighborhood Of Ninety
Six, in this State, and they became so
marked and SO frequent that report
er Of the News and Courier was sent
TO the community to examine and re-
port. These reports are believed to
have been connected with the great
earthquake. The Rock Hill Herald
says recently the same noises have
again been heard. All the inhabi-
tants are alarmed, thinking they are
the premonitors OF another earth.

where these noises are now heard, re-

So Died q Hero.

a few days ago we published the sad
story of q young professor, wounded
to the death in the machinery a: Glenn
son college, S. c., sending message
announcing approaching end to his
old preceptor, Gen. Stephen D. Lee
in Alabama and receiving loving
farewell in return. We republish to-
dag from the Norfolk Virginian an
account Of Engineer Will James's dv-
ing adieu to his former chief, Capt. '.
E. McBee-a message pathetic for the
very courage of it: Il will die this
morning from injuries received in rail
road accident" The engineer had
made his last run, and at that supreme
hour his heart yearned for the APPROX
al and sympthy which he knew his
friend and superior officer of other
days would accord him. In this re-
public where we have no royalty, men
do homage only to heroes, such as the
brave engineer who daily takes his life
in his hands To those who knew
him, VIII James was an ideal engi-
neer. A man of splendid physique,
nne-IOOklng, fearless, S"1iI out sUte,
he lived the ideal engineer; he died
the ideal engineer. In the widest,
wierdest, spot on his mountain run,
he lost his life. It seems fitting that
such man as he should go to meet
his God from such place as that cut
at Round Knob, where the iron road
tolls around and around the grim,
forbidding mountains side until at
last, in glee and triumph, it
mounts the giants shoulder,
and, thence, runs smoothl V on
into the river vale beyond. There
is always the reminder in this picture
sque place that here science and skill
have overcome nature and received
the reward of success, as Jacob in the
elder days wrestled with the angel un
til he won the wished for blessing.
Here man has asked OF God and re-
ceived, and. here we choose to believe
God heard the prayer Of the dying
engineer for mercy on his soul. The
brave mans wife and little child have
rich inheritance in the honor Of his
name. Richmond Dispatch.

Democratic Vote of the South.

A large number Of the Eastern pa
pers are stating that Mr.. Bryan lost
heavily in the South as compared with
the Cleveland vote of 1892, and that
his noneieet;;eez2wa was, Ihereiore, blow
to the Southern Democracy. This
theory, while quite favorite one just
at present, is not sustained by the fig
ures. Mr.. Bryan, as matter of fact,
polled a much larger vote in the south
than Mr.. Cleveland, as the following
table shows:

How the Illiterate Voted.

The New York Mail and Express,

to find a deal of satisfaction in the fact
that the twenty-five Bryan states have
a larger average Of illiteracy than the
twenty-three Mckinley states. The
Evening Sun cites these figures from
the census tables of 1890:

A SUDDEN DEATH,

The citizens of Main township were
startled Monday morning by hearing
the report that H. G. John, resident
OF that township, had suddenly died
at his residence Sunday evening. The
week previous he had an attack Of
neuralgia of the heart, but had so far
recovered as to be able to follow his
usual avocatton on Friday and Satur-
day. Sunday morning he attended
church and was apparently well. The
family retired at the usual time, and
after having been in bed a short time
he raised up and informed his wife
that he had pain at his heart He
no more than uttered these words
when he fell forward dead. He was
about sixty-eight yeas of age, and re-
spected by all who knew him. He
leaves to survive him a wife and four
children, Mrs. George Shuman, Mrs.
Alexander Bitter, Charles F., and
Rosa. The funeral was held from his
late residence Yesterday and the re
mains taken to Catawissa, where
further services were conducted in the
Methodist Church. The interment
was IN the Friends burying grounds.

Dor and a good friend. Mrs. Sallie
Buckingham, who for some time past
has been 4 patient sufferer, was freed
from pain, and her spirit took Its
fight to its eternal home yesterday
morning at twenty minutes past five
o'clock. Whilst her health has been
poor for some time past yet in the
midst of all her suffering she bore it
with a calm Christian resignation.
She maintained her reason to the last,
and during the last few hours of her
life she was constantly talking about
her home, and when interrogated by
her family who were constantly at her
bedside, if she meant her eternal
home, she replied eyes where Jesus
lives" The deceased was the young

nolds and moved to this place from
Buckhorn in April 1869, where she
has continuously resided, and by her
consistent Christian life won and held
the respect and love of a host of
