A CHURCH STRUCK BY LIGHT
MING. Last Tuesday afternoon,
just after the DEMOCRAT had gone
to press, an alarm Of fire was
sounded. a thunder storm, fol.
lowed by rain, was prevailing AT
the time. 1t was soon ascertained
that bolt of lightning had struck
the Episcopal Rectory and had
been communicated by means OF
the electric wires, to the church
building, only q short distance off
setting the roof on fire. The ever
vigilant hose companies were
promptly OIL hand and with the
untailing supply of water now al
ways on hand, soon extinguished
the flames, without any material
damage to tue property.
Since 1878 there have been
nine epidemics of dysentery in diff

which Chamberlain's Colic, Chol

used with perfect success. Dys

as severe and dangerous as Asiatit

News of The Navy.

WASHINGTON, June :3.-The suspen-
sion of Sunday services at the Brooklyn
Navy Yard yesterday and the contin-
uance of work on some of the war ves-
sells there during the day, which gave
rise to rumors that Admiral Bunr,'s
squadron was being made ready for i'm.
mediate sea servi ice, was explained in
a satisfactory manner at the Nav J De-
partment this afternoon. The cruiser
New York, flagship of the squadron,
went into the dry dock at Brooklyn,
Saturday for cleaning and some minor
repairs. That date was selected for her
docking on account of the prevailing
high tide and as it will be necessary to
have all the work finishcd 80 that she
can leave the dock to-moi low or next
day before the tide recedes, her scilors
were kept busy all day yesterday. 1t
is said at the Department that if the
New York does not leave the dock
within day or two, she VIII be un-
able to { IT out for another month. AL
though the dispatc ch rom New York
does not say so, it is believed at the
Department that work on the con-
struction of the unfinished monitor
Puritan also went on Sunday. This
work was delayed for nearly three
months owing to the differences be-
tween Naval Constructor Bowles and
Commander Sperry,the latt " in charge
of the Puritan's ordnance. Secretary
Herbert was not aware of the full ex-
tent of the delay, until recently,
and he ordered work to be resumed
and hastened. The Pulitan's con-
struction force is now working over
time and probably were kept busy dur
ing yesterday. No orders indicating
prospective hostilities with Spain have
been issued to Admiral Bunce. He is
concentrating all his energies to have
his fleet ready for the regular Sun mer
practice cruise by the 10Th of July.

Tennessee Lynching.

NASHVILLE, June %. "A special to

Contagious Diseases.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-Reports to
the Surgeon General of the Marine
Hospital Service from the United Stat IS
sanitary insp ctors in Cuba show a
terrible increase of deaths from contagi-
ous diseases on the islend. DR.. Cem-
inero, the official at Santiago, where
smallpox is raging epidemically and
cases of which can be counted by the
hundred and are increasing daily, says
there are no precautions to keep the
the sick ISOLATED, and wakes over the
corpses ere of daily occurrence. Yellow
fever has decreased somewhat and
there are only two deaths reported this
week. Malaria affc ctions of most dead
ly character are very common, esp: IL
ally the remittent and pernicious foi ms
of enterit's among the children and
dysentery among the adults also pro-
viding large contingent to the gener-
al mortality.
The American consul at Saguanla
Grande reports that yellow fever IS on
the increase among the troops at that
point and from Cienfuegos the consul
reports 40 deaths from smallpox and
and increasing yellow fever for the
past week.

Texas Democrats.

AUSTIN, June 23.-The Stat, Sound
Money Democratic Convention and the
regular Democratic Convention met
here this forenoon-the first in the
Opera House, with about 400 delegates
present, and the latter in Convention
Hall, with about 1000 in att ,ndance.
The sound money men met at II a..
m. and organized by electing ex-Con-
gresham E. L. Anthony chairman.
George Clark addressed the convention,
strongly advocating sound money and
advising that the fye silver wing be
utterly ignored. 1t was determined to
elect delegates to the Chicago Conven =
ton, and after the appointment of COM
mittees on platform and resolution, the
convention adjourned until a o'clock.
The delegates to Chicago will 60 as an
advisory delegation to act with the
sound money delegations from other
States in the interest Of sound finance
and what they conceive to be true
Democratic principles.

organized at 2o'clock, by electing Hon.
w. L, Ramsey, a free silver man, chair.
man, and after appointing commit ,es

LONDON, June 23.-The Government
has received cablegram from George
town, British Guiana, confirming the
report of the capture by the Venezue-
lans of the British civil engineer Har-
rison, who is now detained at the Vene-
zuelan station opposite Zuruan. The
st. James Gazette this afternoon pub
lished an article upon the arrest Of Mr..
Harrison, which vigorously prods the
Government and wants to know how
long they will continue to endure the
insolence of the Government of Cara
cas-, out of regard to the susceptibilities
of the Government at Washington.

State Convention.

gates poured into the city this morn
ing and it looks like former days when
"the unterri6ed" swept things before
them. The Democrats who have come
are full of energy and enthusiasm, and
indeed, the prospect grows brighter.
The Marlborough is the favorite congre-
eating point for the delegates. They
all talk freely and they are looking for
a candidate to carry them to victory
next November. The West is we'll re-
presented. The morning train brought
many from Asheville and vicinity.
Among those here are Lieut.. Gov.
Doughton, Col. T. F. Davidson, Kope
Elias, Lock Graige, Congressman
Woodard, ]. F. Wray, Ashley Horne.
Francis Winston, Swift Galloway, w.
S. Chadwick, B. B. PEBBLES, Chas. N.
Vance, J. M. Gudger.
The two-convention idea is agitating
the delegates, but the selection of a
candidate to make the run for Cover
nor has preference over other things.
The letter of Col. Carr was not seen
by many Of the delegates until they
reached the city. 1t was like knock
ing those instructed for Col. Carr from
their feet and they have not recovered
since. The Carr men are all. at sea
and as yet have not centered upon any
candidate.
Carr's withdrawal is still being used
by the Itwo-convention advocates to
hold late convention, and it may be
said that they have met with some
success. The delegates from the West
favor transacting all business Thursday
and taking final adjournment. The
East, as rule, favors two conventions.
What the result will be, it is difficult
to forecast with any degree of certain
ty. 1t would seem that most of the
delegates do not favor making a Sec
ond trip to Raleigh, and if they are not
made to see that it will be the wisest
course to pursue, it is very probable
that full ticket will be put forward
and final adjournment taken.
The two events of greatest moment
since the arrival of delegates'is Judge
Clark's final declaration that he would
not accept nomination and the pro-
motion Of Judge McRae's candidacy.
An ex-chairman of the Democratic
Executive Committee thinks that Craw-
ford and Cy Watson are the most avail
able candidates. He thinks that the
Democrats need campaigner above
all things and that these two gentle
men haven't superiors in the State as
public speakers.
There is no unity of sentiment among
the delegates as to a choice for the
Presidential nomination at Chicago.
One thing is noticeable for its alb
sence, and that is that the Teller man
is not in evidence. Occasionally AM
advocate of Tellers nomination at
Chicago is found, but they are very
scarce. Maj Hale reflected the senti-
ment of the Democrats here when he
said, "We want Democrats. Boies
and Bryan are the favorites among the
delegates. The delegates at large will
not be instructed. There is right much
rivalry among the many aspirants to
be delegates atlarge.

The food and clothing were collected
and brought to the Associated Chart

various kind of fruit and vegetables.
There We're sixteen bushels of potatoes
and twelve bushels of apples. The
children also gave books, toys, games,
candy, nuts, rolled oats, ten bushels of
