Killed His Brother.

Two brothers, James and Calvin
Price, have been farming near each
other in the northern part of Richland
county. They went to Columbia on
Saturday and Jim, who is a hard
drinker, got full Of corn whisky. On
his way home he quarreled with his
brother about the division of the estate
of their father, who died week ago,
and Jim fired five times at his brother
without hitting him. He was loading
up his pistol again, when Calvin gave
him slight flesh wound in his arm.
James then went off swearing he would
"get Calvin and his family" About
midnight on Saturday night, Calvin
heard stealthy steps in his yard.
Opening the door he saw a figure
crouched by the side of the house.
He fired the contents of a shotgun into
it, killing his brother Jim, who was
armed with double-barreled gun, and
was presumably intending to carry out
his threat.

OCCURRED ON A TRAIN.

snartanburg Herald. Wednesday.

Spartanburg Herald, Wednesday.
. Mr.. J. @. Little was a passenger on
the vestibule which arrived here about
dark last night. Just before the train
reached the city an incident occurred
which might have resulted seriously.
A stranger, under the influence of
liquor, approached Mr.. Little and
stared at him in mysterious way.
Mr.. Little inquired what it meant,
whereupon the stranger asked Mr..
Little to take drink. Mr.. Little
refused and the stranger insisted.
"But," said Mr.. Little, "this is no place
to drink don't do it," as the man was
about to 20 into his grip.
After some persuasion, the stranger
was induced to be quiet, and Mr..
Little congratulated himself on his
good riddance Of a drunken man.
In a few moments the man came,
however, and repeated the perform
ance, and Mr.. Little could not get rid
of him until he promised to 60 into
the smoker with him. Mr.. Little
mentioned the strange conduct of the
stranger to the conductor. 1t was
noticed by fellow traveller who also
remarked on the peculiar conduct.
Partly because of his promise, and
partly to unravel the mystery, Mr..
Little went back into the smoker.
Here the stranger produced quart
bottle of corn liquor. Mr..
Little asked if it was dispensary
goods, to which he received a negative
reply Mr.. Little pulled the cork, and
after smelling the bottle, again de-
clined. This seemed to anger the
stranger, and he said, "Oh, it is not
stuff, it is good old block
ade, for 1 captured 13 barrels of it
today for the State"
AS he said this, he pulled his badge
out of his pocket.
81 am not in the habit of drinking
with dispensary spies," remarked Mr..
Little as he handed the bottle back.
Then the stranger became very abu-

CHICAGO DAY OBSERVED.
Twenty-hfth Anniversary 0fthe Great
Fire Turned Into Political
Holiday.

Chicago, Oct. 9.-Chicago day, the an
niversary of the great fire OF twenty.fiy
years ago, was celebrated to-day, chief
50 political holiday. The Republican,
and Democrats celebrated separately, eacl
party having big street parade as vel
as monster gatherings in doors.
Practically every factory and store ir
the city was closed, also the board oil
trade and the banks. From early morn.
ing, the streets we're jammed with cheer.
ing thousands struggling to gain some
point of vantage.
The procession of Republican clubs
was the first feature. After 9 O'Clock,
street cars or vehicles were not allowed
in the down town district, the streets
being entirely given up to the sight seers
and marchers.
The weather was ideal. Bands of all
sorts and conditions played all sorts of
music. Scores of uniformed clubs gave
color to the scene. Innumerable floats,
representing all kinds of trades and busi-
ness organizations, were feature of the
parade.
Thousands of strangers were in town,
the railroads running excursion trains
from points within radius Of 100 miles.
For such an immense crowd, the pro-
oession was admirably handled. One of
the unique features was the immense
transmitters stationed at different points
Of the line of march, connected with long
distance telephone wires, and, as the
shouting, cheering mobs passed, their
"rahs" for Mckinley and Hobart we're
heard by those gentlemen in Canton and
Patterson, N. J.
Tonight the procession of free silver
clubs will march over practically the
same ground.
For the Republicans, Chauncey M.
Depew speaks at the Auditorium tonight.
This afternoon, at Tattersal's, the at
traction will be Senator Henry M. Teller,
of Colorado.
REPUBLICANS CHEER PALMRR AND puokNER.
The Republican parade moved with IN.
usual rapidity. Owing to the police ar
spectators were kept back
strictly to the sidewalks and buildings,
lea ring the streets proper entirslyto the
who moved as rule, seven to
twelve abreast. The parade started at 10
,. N. and lasted far into the afternoon.

HEADQUARTERS PEOPLES PARTY,

HEADQUARTERS PEOPLES PARTY,
Territorial Committee,
Santa Fe, N. M, October Z, 1896.
To the Peoples Party of New Mexico and the
Voters in General:
| At the convention of the Peoples party,
held in Las Vegas, on the 23d day of Sep.
tember, last past, for the purpose of nomi-
mating suitable person as candidate to
represent them as delegate in the 56th
congress, following the precepts of the
Peoples party, that met at st. Louis on
the Oath of July, last past, which nominal.
cd VIM. ]. Bryan, the Democratic candi-
date for president, and only asking him
to accept the silver plank of their plat
form, the said Peoples party convention
of New Mexico nominated Hon. L. Brad
ford Prince as it's standard bearer as dele
gate in this territory. The selection of
Mr.. Prince was made, not as a Populist,
but as silver Republican, believing, as
they did, that the silver question was
paramount TO all others. At the time Mr..
Prince was nominated, they wers led to
believe that he was sound on this question
beyond doubt, as he had advocated the
free and Unlimited coinage of gold and
silver, at the ratio of 16 to l, without the
consent of any other nation, from the
stump in nearly every state in tho Union.
His speeches were so forcible and logical,
and so unanswerable that they struck con.
viction to his hearers. These speeches
we're published by the hundreds of thou.
sands and distributed throughout the ma.
ton, and by this means he had done az
much, If not more, for the silver cause
than any other man in the United States.
In addition to that, the convention saw
IN Gov. Prince man of culture and large
experience in public affairs, all of which
is very desirable as we'll as indis pensable
if the people would be properly repre-
sented In congress-. Withou. doubt, nine
tenths of the Republican party in this ter
ritory believe in the free and unlimited
coinage of gold and silver, and Gov.
Prince, as q candidate, would have re-
ceived all of this vote, except that class
which place Office above principle.
The Peoples party, now in its infancy
in New Mexico, in order to continue it's
existence, sustain its principles aud to SO.
cure all the votes possible from the old
parties, without aiding the gold standard
advocates, therefore considered it, not
only of the greatest importance, but good
politics, to unite with the silver element
of the Republican party, thereby not only |
perpetuating their own party, but making |
IL doubly sure that there would be no |
delegate sent from New Mexico to con.
gress, who had any of the gold-stsndard
proclivities.
The convention had good reason to be-
lfeve, from the utterances of Gov. Prince,
ON the silver question, that when the time
should arrive and they we're not adopted
IN convention by his own party, he would
follow the example of Senator Teller, by
placing principle above party, and sever.
Ing HE connection with the same, and
placing himself at the bead Of the silver
element Of the territory.

Manager Hoffman, of the Central Union
Telephone company, placed two groups
OF telephone ear trumpets of six each in
the majors library and like number in
Mrs. McKlnley's sitting room. These
were connected with the long distance
telephone wire from Chicago, where the
receivers are located along the line of pa.
rade.
AT 1852, Major Mckinley was called to
the telephone. The Associated Press re-
porter listened at one of the trumpets,
Major Mckinley showed great pleas ure
at the volume of enthusiasm that reached
him over the 400 miles of wire. The
music of the bands and the cheering of
the crowds were plainly heard.
M'KINLEY EULoGIzEs OLD HICKORY,
The highly polished hickory stump,
sent to Major Mckinley by Sheriff
Greensr, Of Knoxville, ana other east
tennessee admirers, was dedicated on the
Mckinley porch this morning. Three
coach loads of east Tennesseeans, organ
lied by Sheriff Greener, and in charge of
Capt. VIM. Rule and Major E.. J, Camp,
vice-president of the National Republican
League, came with greetings and con-
gratulations to the nominee.
Major Mckinley, standing upon the
stump, responded with glowing tribute
to the Tennessee patriots and statesmen
and an argument for protection and ar
"honest dollar"
"Men of Tennessee" he said. odo Won
stand by the principles enunciated by the
immortal Jacksons Do you favor q pro-
teotive tariff and honest money? (Loud
cries Of Yes, yes, We do.) am glad TO
be assured, by your voices, that you do
and that you have not forgotten the force
and merit of his great example,"
The special train brought the members
OF the Union Veterans Patriotic league,
OF Cleveland, for the double purpose of
acting as an escort to the confederate
veterans and to extend an assurance Of
hearty support to Mckinley. They
went to the Mckinley home in company
with the virginians. Greetings were e.
tended in addresses by O. G. Dewstoe and
P. j. Herrick.
