duced to leave their homes to go
to Liberia. Among them we're
James Webb and his wife Fan
ME, who are bound to St. Francis
county, Ark. It took their last
dollar to reach Liverpool from
Liberia, and they were sent on
to Philadelphia by the United
States Consul at that city at the
expense of the Government.
When they left Monrovia 100
of the passengers taken out on
the Laurada from Savannah had
died, and many others were in a
dying condition. They stated
that none were able to get work
the natives doing what little
there was to be done. All letters
sent to their friends in the United
States were opened, and if any>
thing in them was against Libe-

were duly shown by ample jus>

A HARD WINTER.
Rev. Ira Hicks Predictions
Concerning December.

Rev. Ira Hicks, the weather
prognostlCator, says: The month
Of December will be one of the
most severe that We have expe-
rlenced III years. It is not likely
that the storms will be dangers
Gus, because they do not come
at the period Of the year when
dangerous storms are to be exs
pected. But you will get all the
old-tashioned billiards you want
during the last part of that
month. Things will grow in>
teresting about the 10Th of the
month, and will continue until
December 80. We will have
good sprlnkling of bad weather
before that, for the winter will
begin ea;; and will be a cold
one, = The center of the worst
period begins December 70.
During this time the influence
of Mars will be added to others,
producing a conmotion i'll the
earth's atmosphere which will
be felt by ali its inhabitants.
Between now and Decem Der,
except that the seasons will
change, there will be nothing of
special interest. From the 9TH
to the 18th of this month mats
ters will be decidedly lively.
Following local storms will
come higher temperature, sac,
cerded by storm areas. From
now until the 23d storms in the
Gulf section will be frequent
and Of unusual vigor. And, Of !
course, we will have the usual
equinoctial storm, October,
barring a few days about the
9th, will be quiet and unevent>
full, excepting on the big lakes.
will also be mild and
without incident, excepting i'll
the North Atlantic and on the
lakes. During the first week in
November the lakes will be dan
gerOus.

break and about five o'clock was
entirely extinquished. Along
Railroad avenue every building
was gutted. The Church block
was utterly destroyed. About
sixty firms, representing all
kinds of business, and many

PRESIDENTIAL TICKETS
The Number That Will be Voted
For at The Approaching
Election.

The mum bcf of Presidential
tickets that will be voted for at
the approaching election will be
greater, perhaps, than at any
previous election i'll the history
OF the country. Eight National
Conventions have been held and
seven of them have nominated
candidates, but electoral tickets
have not been named in all of
the States. Indeed, in some of
the States not more than three
or four electoral tickets will be
voted for.
The first convention held was
that of the ProhibioniSts, in
Plttsburg, the 27th of May. This
convention split and the rugulars
nominated Messrs. Levering and
Johnson, and the following dav
the free silver, woman suffrage
wing of the party nominated
Messrs. Bentley and Southgate.
The Prohibitionists therefore
have two tickets in the field.
The Republicans, on the 18th
OF June, at St. Louis, nominated
Messrs. Mckinley and Hobart.
On the 4th of July the Social
1st Labor party, at New York |
put forward Messrs. Matchett and
Mcguire.
The Democrats,at Chicago, on
the 10th and nth of the same
month, nominated Messrs. Bryan
and Sewall, and these gentlemen !
were endorsed by the Silver
party, which held its Convention
in St. Louis on the 24th of July.
The Populist Party held their
convention in the same city OH
the 24th and 25th of July, and
nominated Mr., Bryan for the
Presidency and Mr.. Thomas E.
Watson for the Vice Presidency.
The last convention to place a
Presidential ticket in the field
was that of the sold standard
Democrats at indianapolis ON the
3rd of September, and Messrs.
Palmer and Buckner were put
forward as their standard bear
ers.

AN HONEST REPUBLICAN.
EH- GOVERNOR SMITH, OF ALABA-
Ma, TAKES THE STUMP
FOR BRYAN.

Ex-Iovernor w. H. Smith, OF
Alabama, for many years a
staunch and uncompronising
Republican, has taken the STUN D
for Bryan and Sewall. III a
speech at his old home in Wedo-
wee, Randolph county, last
Thursday, he said that he is too
old to nnislead his old friends if
he so desired, and in his opinion
the election Of Mr.. Mckinley
would be tile greatest calamity
that could befall this country at
this TIME.
Ex-Governor Smith belongs
to that class Of Republicans who
are honored and respected by
members Of all parties in Alaba -
ma, and his coming out so bold
ly for Bryan and Sewall has had
a tendency to demorilize the
bitter element Of the Republican
party throughout the State. He
had one son on the Republican
Popui;st ticket for Attorney
General in the recent election,
and another ran On the same
ticket for State Senator from
Jefferson county, both of whom
are supporters Of Mckinley.
