AFRAID OF LEADVILLE.
Only 65 of Missouri Miners Reached
There-others Flunked-

LeadvilIe. Col, Sept. 26.-The 65 nom
union miners brought in from Missouri
yesterday were put to work this morn
ing in the Marian, Emmett and Small
Hopes mines. They will be lodged and
fed in the Emmett shaft house which
will be we'll guarded. w. IA. Shaw, who
procured these men in Missouri, said
today there were 300 men registered for
LeadVille at first, but that when they
came to take the train on Wednesday
night all but 76 had "hunked.' The
cause of this he said was fear. Last
Sunday a letter supposed to be from
some member of the LeadVllle Miners
union reached Joplin and went the
rounds of the miners who had agreed
to take the places of the strikers.
It warned all Missouri miners to keep
away from Leadville( or they would be
killed as soon as they reached the de-
pot. OF the rs who started for here, IL
deserted on the way by slipping out of
the cars unobserved during the night
time. The MissOurians say they are to
receive So and ESQ a day here. In Mis-
souri, their pay ran from $1.25 to $1.75
per day. Shaw says all of them are
American citizens as he was instructed
to hire no others.
The success of s. w. Mudd, manager
of the Small Hopes company in replac-
ing the miners on his properties, has
encouraged other mine managers to do
likewise.
Monday morning George Campion
will start up the Bison mine with a full
crew. The men necessary to do this
are said to be now in Leadville, but
they are not members of the miners
union. The Bison is the largest iron
producer in the district.
An agent of the mine owners is in
Missouri hiring more men. The mine
owners hope to keep the troops here
six or seven days and to resume work
in all mines that have closed on ac-
count of the strike 1t is not expected
that this can be accomplished without
further destruction of property and
probably loss of life, but it is hoped be-
fore the guard is withdrawn by the
governor, to rid the camp of men who
instigate to violence.

EPITHETS FOR SULTAN.
'Abdul the Damned" 'cFiend Incar-
nate" Are Some Used by English.

London, Sept. 26.-The remarkable
violence of the English agitation which
has been conducted against the sultan
is shown by the character of the cpl
thets which have been hurled at him
by usually moderate speaking Eng
lish people. Mr.. G1adstine's epithets Of
the Great assassin seems to have set
the fashion, the Duke of Westminster
following with ''Fiend incarnate."
Earl Spencer preferring Representa-
tive of a diabolical and atrocious gov
ernment.''
The term applied by VIM. Watson,
the poet, Abdul the Damned in his
series of sonnets on the Armenian ques-
ton perhaps finds the most frequent
repetition of any of them. The press is
in no whit behind in its sensational
dealings with the subject. The Chron-
icle is printing a series of murder
maps on the subject.

ASSIGNMENT AT REIDsVlLLE.
A Receiver Appointed for the Motley
Tobacco Company.

Reidsville, " C., Aug. 15.-(SpeciaD
This community regretted no little
this morning to hear of the appoint
ment of receiver for the y. II. Motley
Tobacco Company.
This is one Of the largest concerns
in this section, and their trouble was
brought about on account of the
unsettled condition of the money mar
ket, which demoralized trade and
caused banks and creditors to with
draw accommodations and demand the
payment of loans and accounts which
they had expected them to continue to
carry, and their inability in the pres
emit condition of affairs to realize on
their accounts sufficiently past due
TO meet their maturing obligations.
The company has thought it best, in
order to protect all their creditors,
and stock holders, to have a receiver
appointed, so DIR. Bosley, a conserva-
tive and safe business man, has been
appointed. He viii carefully guard the
interests of all parties.
1t is confidently stated that no cred

REPUBLICAN, BID ACCEPTED.
Wilson County PopuIists indirectly
Agree to Fuse.

Wilson, n c., Aug. 15.-(Special)-
The Populist convention met this
morning i'm the court house for the pur-
pose of acting on the bids which had
been offered them by Democrats and
Republicans. The meeting was called
to order by j. r. b. Hoover
The secretary, j. ID. Meares, read
the proposition submitted by the Dem
ocrats, which was as follows: In view
of the fact that we now have
the Clerk. we offer the Populists the
Senator. Sheriff, Treasurer and one
commissioner. and that we agree TO
take the remainder of the county Off
GERS, provided fusion can be effected.
The vote was taken on this by town
ships, and ii was rejected almost unan-
imously.
The Republican proposition, which
gave the Populibts everything except
the Register of Deeds and one com
missioner, was then also rejected.
Mr.. Hoover made ringing speech
advocating a strictly middle-of-the
road course. He said that the State
convention had outlined policy which
should be followed by all subsequent
conventions. j. j.. Newsom raised
a similar sentiment.
Inc run Inen DegdH. a InOtIOu WAS
made by Mr.. Meares that the selection
of candidate for the office of Reg
ister of Deeds and one commissioner be
left in the hands of the County EXecu
tive committee. The object of this
though not stated, was to bring about
Populist-Republican fusion, notwith-
standing the proposition offered by
them had been rejected by large
majority. This subterfuge had been
used in order to pacify those members
of the convention who would hear to
nothing except a straight middle-of-
the-road policy.
A heated discussion followed in
which Meares, Boykin, Hoover and
others took part. In the course of
the discussion many illusions were
made to Democratic treachery and un-
derhand dealing. Mr.. Meares claimed
that if the proposition was rejected
the Democrats would carry the county
He also stated that their victory meant
an unjust election law, hard times and
everything that could be saddled on a
helpless people by a set of unprincipled
men. A vote was then taken which
stood G2 to 81 in favor of indirectly
accepting the Republican proposition
of fusion.

A FUSION THAT IS CONFUSION.

A special from Houston, Texas, to the
Washington Post, after giving a re-
sumo of the political situation in that
State, says the Populist State conven-
ton put everything in the hands of a
committee of three, and adds:
This places the Populists of Texas
in magnificent fighting trim. The
plan is this: After the regular Dem
ocratic organization shall have re-
nominated the present administration
ticket the battle is to open. The Re
publicans of both factions, the sound
money Democrats and the Populists
are to fuse. The fusionists are to
support the Mckinley electors, the
Populist State ticket, and the sound
money Democrats are to be awarded
the-State Judiciary in the deal 1t is
a strong combination and would win
if the leaders could deliver the goods.
That they can hardly do, however,
and as the parties in Texas have some
family troubles of their own on hand
it is safe at the present time to pre-
dict tlt& reelection of the present
Democratic State ticket.

A HEAD-END COLLISION.

Cincinnati, Ohio, August 15.-A
head-end collision took place this
morning three-quarters of a mile east
of Torch Hill, Ohio, on the baltimore

train and an eastbound freight came
together with a crush in cut. The

man were instantly killed. The other
fireman was badly scalded, also one
brakeman and a postal clerk were
slightly injured.
