Watson is out in a strong, signed e6i-
torial in his paper stating the grounds
for accepting the nomination Tor vice
president from the populist convention.
He refers to Sewall as IN individual sf
standing and a H. silver democrat,
but adopts the arsum an! elaborated on
at st. Louis, that the nomination of a
populist for the second place was
necessary to preserve the autonomy of
the %populist organization, especially
II. me south.
The editorial ia accepted not only as
a letter Of accep-sn e but also as an
oficial ultimatum that the propositions
for withdrawal will not be considered
by Watson or the populists and that

A LYNCHING FEARED.

Washington, D. C., July 29.-The cor
oner's jury today found James Smith.
the negro waiter, guilty of the murder
last night OF Marguerite Brown, at Seal
Pleasant. a large country boarding
house about eight miles from Wash
ington, in Prince George county, and
late developments in the case added so
much horror to the crime that there
are numerous threats OF another Mary
land lynching as soon as the oppor-
tunity offers. Smith was arrested by
the Washington police today in the
northern part of the city and in view
of the excited condition of the people
of Prince George county. probably he
will be held until a formal requisition
is made in order to permit the excite
ment to be partially allayed. The ne
gro made two confessions partly con-
Trajectory but each admitting the muir
der. The doctor who performed the
autopsy and examined the body
showed that the girl was first knocked
down and rendered unconscious by a
blow on the forehead, had been out
ragged and later killed by severing the
wind pipe and jugular vein.

operation, in which he used about Is
instruments, taking more than three
hours.
The operation began with the partial
incision of the two sides of the SUI
perior maxillary bone. which were
then broken open with little steel CHS
els so hat they would fit together, clos
ing the cleft in front. The w sides
of the cleft through the hard palate
were denuded with the knife and
drawn together by means Of four cat

lures of heavy catgut were passed
through the l%oosened parts of the SUI

A second operation will be necessary
to remove the harelip, which is an ac-
compartment Of a cleft palate, but this
will not be more than an ordinary ex-

men held up and robbed the Okeene-
H~ennessy stage and mail today about
2 o'clock. The stage was about three
miles west Of Lacy. in a heavy jack
oak timber, when the bandits stepped
from the timber and demanded the
driver to hold up his hands. enforcing
their order with two revolvers. The
driver obeyed, stepped from the stage
and was searched, and relieved of SIS,
but managed to save a roll of bills con-
tanning $72, which he concealed in his
handkerchief. The robbers then cut
the United States mail sack and alb
stracted four registered letters, value
