Georgia Populists Will Follow.

Chicago, Oct. 9i--George F. Washburn,
chairman of the Western branch OF the
Populst national committee. and Chair
committee. held a conference today re-
garding the situation IN Georgia and Kan
sas. but especially in the former state.
Beyond stating that the conference result
ed ''as has been predicted" Mr. Wash
burn refused 10 discuss the matter He
was more communicative, however. when
tod OF the resignation OF Populst Elector
". ii. FELTON,, Of Georgia.
1T is not surprising TO me- said Mr.
Washburn. You have no idea of the IN
tensity OF the feeling among the Popu-
lists of that state. 1t cannot be exag-
gerated"
VIII II be followed by other resigna-
t.ons?"
Possibly"
What action is Mr. Watson going to
take?''
1T will depend entirely upon the result
of my conference with Senator Jones'
From the talk around pcpulist headquar-
;ers IL Is evident that small hopes are en-
,ertained OF accomplishing the desired fu-
SIGN in Georgia. Unless the fusion is es-
fected. IL is strongly intimated that tho
Populists Will withdraw their electors in
Georgia.
That means only one thing" said a
prominent PopulisI. and that is that nine
tenths OF them will vote for Mckinley and
fuse with the Republicans on the congress
sIonal ticket"

A POLITICAL BOMB SHE'LL.
Georgia's Popular Populist Leader
Swings to Mckinley, and Others
VIII Follow.

Atlanta, Oct. 2l.-A bombshe1 was ex-
p.oded in political circles here today by
the making public Of letter from DR.. w.
II. FELTON,, Popul.st nominee for eiector.
witndraw wing his name from the tickle; and
p.edging his support to Mckinley. DR..
Felon was a one time a member of con-
gress of the Seventh district. and has long
been conspicuous in Georgia politics.
His course is construed by many as in
dicatsng that there viii be a general de-
fection TO Mckinley from the populist
ranks of Georgia, on account of the
treatment OF the Populist proposition for
fusion at the hands of the Democratic
state committee.

THEATRE DISASTER.
Audience In a Russian Playhouse
Panic-StTickon by Fire.
THE HOUSE SOON IN FLAMES.
Many People burned 10 Death
Forty-One bodies Taken from the
Huirs-Nany Persons Missing
Heart-Rcnding scenes.

LONDON. January 20-A dispatch from
Ekatra. in South Russia, gives the de-
tails OF fire that occurred in a theatre
there, causing large loss OF life. The fire
was discovered while performance was
xoing on. The spectators became panic
stricken. and made a Wild rush for the
exits. Many OF them were knocked down,
trampled under foot. and rendered I'M
conscious. The building was of wood,
and the fire spread with great rapidity.
Before all the terror-stricken people could
get out the theatre was a mass OF flames.
The scene outside was terrible Those
who had relatives or friends in the theatre
rushed about wildly. crying for help TO
save them. Every effort was made 10
saw those in the burning building, but
the heat was 50 intense that for some
time it was impossible 70 approach the
structure.
Even had 1t been possible TO approach.
the efforts to save those inside would UNI
doubtedly have been fruitless, as they
were probably suffocated before the fire
reached them.
After tho ruins had cooled off SUM-
GENTLY. search was commenced for the
dead.
Forty-nipe bodies have already been
taken out. 4 number Of persons who
are known TO have been In the theatre
are still missing, and there Is scarcely any
doubt that their bodies will be found later

MIR. RExxIE's BODY BOUND.
In the River between Two Rocks
Fell from Bett-Iine Bridge.

The body OF Mr. John s. Rennie. the
Scotch quarryman, who had been missing
from his home at Granite since January
list. was found yesterday morning about
10 o'clock by Joseph Piermsn. one of the
searching party. who had been hunting
for the body for some days.
When found the remains were lodged
between two rocks opposite the fourth
pier from the Chesterfield side of the Belt
Line bridge and were resting on plank.
Mr.. Pierman was one of party OF
five. all from Oregon Hill. in this city.
and he stated last night that In searching
for the body they had passed the spot
where 1t was found several times. 1t was
covered over with ice, however. and this
hid ii from view.
The authorities were notified promptly
OF the find, and Or. Lawrence Ingram,
acting for Coroner Brodnax, repaired 10
the scene, and the body having been con-
veyed to the shore. made a post norton
examination. An inquest was held at .
o'clock. and II was agreed that the de-
ceased came TO his death as the result
of being thrown from the bridge by a
passing train. or falling therefrom ac-
cdentaily
The body was in a perfect state OF
preservation. Both legs were broken, as
was also the neck and numerous bones
I'm the body There was also deep cut
over the right eye, which Is supposed 10
have been received in the fall.
Mr.. Rennie was a member OF the hrm
OF Rennie Il Mcintosh. who were stone
contractors at Granite. He had hosts
OF friends, who join his wife ana MS
children In their grief.
IL will be remembered that on the night
of December 3lst Mr.. aud Mrs. Rennie
had received some New Years callers,
and Just before the company took their
departure drinks were passed around.
Mr. Rennie proposed the health OF MS
guests with the toast, Here's luck 10
the new year" and then left the house.
When his absence was noticed he was
called. and then search made, but no.
thing had been heard or seen OF him until
found yesterday morning in tho James.
When found the body was dressed just
as when last seen, wearing neither coat
nor hat.
Two trains passed over the Belt Line
bridge shortly after Mr. Rennie left his
house. This confirms the belief that nc
was knocked from the bridge.
The funeral will take place Wednesday
from the residence, and the remains
win he buried in Maury cemetery. Man
