explosion after explosion occurred among

NEW YORK's POPULIsTs.
'WntsOn's Name Must Appear on the
OmcinI Ballots.


Albany, N. Y, oct 16-There IL war in
the populist camp In this state. This was
evident to-day when Lawrence j. McPhar-
Ian of Lockport called upon Secretary Of
State Palmer. Mr.. McPharlan was sec
retary of the last populist state conven-
ton and is the candidate for judge of the
court of appeals. The secretary of state
has already prepared for distribution the
sample blanket ballot.
The peoples party ballot is headed with
the names of William ]. Bryan for Presi-
dent and Thomas E. Watson for vice
president. The popuist state convention
held in the city of Syracuse on Oct en-
dorsed Arthur Sewall. the democratic
candidate for vice president, instead Of
Mr.. Watson.
Mr.. McPharlan wished the secretary of
state to substitute the name of Mr.. Sewall
for Watson at the head OF the populist
column as the candidate for vice presl-
dent.
The secretary Of state told Mr.. McPhar-
Ian that the populist national convention
had nominated Bryan and Watson and
that under the election law Of this state
tnese names were to be placed at the head
OF the party column Of the populists on
the ballot used in this state. The secre-
tary said he could not recognize the en-
dorsement of Sewall by the popuists
state convention, bud that the action OF
the national convention OF the popullst
party was binding upon him as regards
the names which shall lead the populist
column

NO FUSION IN NORTH CAROLINA.
The Democrats to Make No New Of
fer to the PopuIIsts.


Raleigh, N. c.. Oct. 16.-The democratic
state committeeman announce that no
further propositions for fusion will be
made to the populists, and that every
thing will stand as IL Is. The populist
state committeeman predicts that the re-
puhlicans will elect Russell governor by
5000 majority.
The democratic state committee to-
night issued an address to the voters OF
the state, which says the par
ty has made all possible ef
forts to induce the popullsts to
fuse on the state, congressional and legis-
lative tickets, but has met with refusals,
and that its proposition for congressional
fusion in order TO elect a solid silver del
egation was made Aug. 13, and insisted
on since. The address declares that 1t is
apparent that the republican party Is
amassing the enormous registration of
illegal voters made possible by the elec-
ton law, which plainly permits fraud, that
the negroes have drawn the color llne
anu taking advantage of the division of
the white vote on gold and silver, have
arrayed themselves in the unbroken re-
publican columns, trusting thus to get
n dominant position; and that the repuh-
lican officials boast that the illegal negro
registration will give the state to McKin-
ley.
The address calls on white men to unite
and says that though some division of
white votes is imminent with the great
majority there should be no doubt of
their power to marshal for the demo-
cratic party sufficient votes to save the
state from republican rule and ruin.
1t calls on all favoring silver and white
supremacy to support the only ticket
which offers hope Of success against Nc
Kinley and Russell.
A telegram tonight to Secretary Hyam
of the republican state committee, says
United States Senator Pritchard is sick
at his home at Marshall and is threatened
with fever.

A BUILDING BLOWN TO ATOMS.
But for the Early Hour Many Lives
would Have Been Lost.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Oct. l6,-An explo-
sion occurred before daybreak this morn
ing at Dayton, Tenn, which wrecked a
large building and dispersed the frag-
ments over the entire town. The explo-
sion was preceded by a fire. undoubtedly
of incendiary origin, in the supply store
house of the Dayton Coal and Iron Com
pany, where. in addition to $1,000 worth
of merchandise, 225 pounds of dynamite
for use in the mines, was stored. The
concussion shook the earth, and, besides
blowing the large two-story frame struc-
ture into fragments, badly damaged the
office and store Of the company, which
are of brick, 200 yards distance, and also
shattered windows in the depot, court
house and nearly every business house
in the place, though many were over half
a mile from the center of the destruction.
Only the fact that no pedestrians were
abroad at that hour prevented serious
loss of life The damage will exceed

Atlanta, Ca, Oct 16.-Chairman Steve

committee was in the city to-day and re-
opened the party headquarters to remain

Chairman Clay issued a call for meet
ing Of the state executive committee to

Every member Of the committee, as well
as the district electors and the electors
from the state at large, are earnestly de-
sired to be present at this meeting. Inn
portant matters will come up for action,
among them the demand OF the populist
state committee that the democrats take
down six democratic electors and substi-
tute populists and a complete fusion be
arranged 80 that Bryan and Watson VIII
receive the vote Of the state.
Another matter that will be acted upon
will be the method OF selecting the demo-
cratic candidates for the supreme court
TO be voted for at the special election TO
be held in December. A regular white pri-
mary may be ordered or state convention
called. It is believed that strong effort
will be made to have the latter, with the

Birmingham, Ala. Oct. 16.-The war
made upon Capt. R. f. Kolb and Peyton
G. Bowman by the populist state execu-
tive committee is watched with much in
terest by politicians in all parts of this
state. Messrs. Kolb and Bowman, it will
be remembered, were dropped from the
executive committee because they espous-
ed the cause of Bryan and Sewall. The in
dications are that the action of the COM
mittee will not be indorsed by the popu-
lists of the state. The populists of Pike
county in mass meeting voted down a res
olution to denounce Kolb and Bowman,
and this weeks Banner-Advertiser, pub
lished at Ozark, and the populist organ,
has a strong editorial praising Kolb for
the step, although the paper flies Watson
at it's masthead. Shrewd observers are
inclined to the belief that the middle-of-
the-road element will get the worst of the
fight.

FUSION IN GEORGIA.
Chairman Butler Thinks That IL
VIII BE Arranged Later.

Washington. oct. 16.-To the Morning
News correspondent to-day Chairman
Butler Of the peoples party said that he
did not think there would be any hurry
about fusion matters in Georgia. He
seemed to think that the longer the mat
ter was put Off the better the chances
will be for fusion. He thought that by
waiting a while some of the soreness,
which resulted from the recent election,
would be over, and that the democrats
and populists could get together better
later on. He seemed to think that fusion
would be accomplished, although he was
not disposed TO talk too freely on the SUBJ
iect. He admits that the question has
been discussed by himself and Commit
teeman Reed and they have agreed on
the policy which the populists will pursue
in Georgia.
