FLED UNDER FIRE.
Cornelius Harris shoots at Bob
Dukes at Ocala.

Ocala, Fla, April 2s.-Excitement was
caused this morning by Cornelius Har-
ris shooting at Bob Dukes and running
him through Lyons wine room. over the
rear porch OF the Ocala house, and up
the second flight of steps. when the office
clerk ordered him to keep the peace.
Acting Mayor George Mackay fined him
SIS and costs and his brother and Dukes
50 each and costs.
The trouble grew out of Dukes and T.
E. Harris having trouble last night. This
morning as T. E. and his brother Cor
nelius passed in front of Lyons wine
room Dukes, who was sitting on the
window SILL made move as if he would
attack Tom Harris, whom he seized from
the rear, but when Cornelius drew a
pistol he held Tom Harris between him
self and the pistola until he got to Lyons
door, when. giving Tom Harris a shove
against his brother, he ran. The ban
lodged in the frame of a large mirror
screen as Dukes turned behind it.

that he and Col. Buck had made an agree

gave way TO Col. r. d. Locke, eX-postmas-

placing ia nomination the names Of the
delegates slated. In the place OF IrOt.
Wright % Savannah, was the name Of l..
q. Johnson Of Atlanta, a Reed man and
Pledger's partner.
Immediately there was pandemOnium.
Col Buck, seeing that IL would be impOs-

the gavel to Walter Johnson OF Columbus,
and got out Of the struggle. in which the
delegates walked on top Of each other and
shouted and tussled with each other about

midst Of this wild and WoOlly scramble,
Pledger's followers pOcketed the roll of
delegates and made of with IL.
The names of the delegates nominated
by Col Locke were put through, though
the motion could not be heard three feet
away, and declared elected.
When It dawned upon the convention
that this ticket, which was composed of
Col. Buck. l.. G. Johnson, J. Fl. Deveaux Of
Savannah and II. A. Rucker of Atlanta,
had been railroaded through, Rev. +. X.
Love of Savannah took hold Of the reins

Atlanta, Ga. April pa contest for the
seat of Wright before the national con-
vention is inevitable, and as Buck and
Pledger. being the leaders of the oppos-
ing factions, have agreed to a combina-
tion delegation, IL Is probable that Wright
will have little showing. Both Buck and
Pledger were vigorous in their efforts to
have the combination delegates elected in
the interest of what they called the har-
monious action of the party. The con-
vention was overwhelmingly for McKin-
ley, but had not the combination been eff
fected by which the opposition was given
one Of the four places, the anti-McKinley
forces would have bolted. and had made
all their arrangements accordingly.
The Mckinley men claim that they have
nineteen delegates of those elected by the
districts, and this gives them twenty-five
of Georgia's twenty-siX. The facts seem
to bear out this claim. Perhaps one man
elected a Mckinley delegate is a doubt
full quantity, and twenty-one to five would
be a safe estimate, The five can be put
down as for Reed, although elected simply
as anti-McKinley men.
The regular convention did not adopt
any resolutions, this evidently being part
of the deal. The Wright convention adopt
ed resolutions indorsing Mckinley.

the increase in passenger traffic due TO the
Worlds Fair nj Chicago The report OF
the interstate commerce commission shows
that there was decrease OF 1850 In the
number OF freight cars In servico In 6-96,
compared with the preceding year, and tho
number OF employees has also been reduced
partly on account of dullneBs OF trade and
perhaps in part by improvements to cara
through the Increased use OF air brakes
| and automatic couplors. There were $751;
602 railroad employees in 1898. 1000 In
1894. and 1856 03i In 1895. That means that
the business OF transportation is transacted
on scale Mt least 10 per cent below tho
established figures OF prosperous times.
The large crops OF this year md tho Eu
ropean demand for our products. due In
part tn the crop failure In India, Will no
doubt help to restore the conditions OF
1888.
Tho loss OF revenue from passenger travel
last year as con Iared with tho year OF the
Worlds Fair is Estimated by the commits
Bion at $40. 900 900. There were 593 900. 900
passengers carried In lS93. 6i0.6Ss. 100 In
1894 and 507. 42I 1862 In 1895 g6. The freight
moved Increased nearly 900 900 900 tons, but
was last year nearly 30. 0O0, 600 tons behind
the record year" 1894. Rates have
been forced down with the decrease Of
business so that the business has been com
parativoly unfemuncrative. The more i'm
portant trunk lines hnve however. been
very prudently managed and have reduced
expenses In proportion TO the decrease Of
business. while they have at the same time
maintained the efficiency OF their linca and
rolling stock. They are. therefore. in good
condition to take advantage of the better
times now apparently about to open up.
The Pennsylvania Railroad company. In it's
last annual report which was for the cal
endnr year 1895, showed for the three grand
divisions east Of Erie and Pittsburg an in
crease OF nearly $4,000. 600 In earnings. an
Increase Of little over 81 900 900 in expenses.
and resulting increase OF 81 .775 9si 40 In
come. which amounted to SO, $50, 432 3S, ex-
ceodcd the net income Of 1894 by more than
a million dollars.
The interstate commerce commissions
report includes all tho railroads In the
country, and they of course do not show ss
good results ms the Pennsylvania, which is
one OF the most prudently managed roads
In the United Stateh.

freedom from anything OF personally Of
fonslvc nature In the speeches OF either
of the principal candidates.
Even papers 80 bitterly opposed to M.
Bryan the Boston Herald admit that
in his defeat there is one tribute which
is justly HIS due-tho good nature and
"swcet personal temper that have char
octerized his campaign.
That lie well deserves tho recognition
thus paid viii be admitted by every I'm
partial man OF either party. His sweet =
ness OF temper and good nature are the
more remarkable when the circumstances
attending the campaign are borne In mind.
Never has a candidate for any office sub
jected himself to such physical and men
tai strain. Never were tho motives of a
candidate so untustly aud vlndictively at
tackled by the republican press and the
majority OF speakers In the ranks Of his
opponents.
For Major Mckinley It must DO admitted
with equal frankness that he followed the
laudable example set by Mr. Bryan. There
was a difference In their speeches, OF
course. But in the one thing--thc freedom
from personal assault--4thc pseches are
similar. Ia this. as IL mnny other re-
spects, the contest which has ended has
been one OF the most remarkable In poli,i-

ST. Louis Republic.
The Republic has briefly referred 20 the
abusive character OF the comments Of the
republican organs on the defeat OF the DEM

OF the election aftermath
These newspapers. with a conspicuous
display OF patriotism and civil, vlrtJe,
have deprecated oil disposition TO arouse
popular passions. excite batter partisanship
and stir up hostility between the classes
and the masses. They have denounced
everything that savorcd OF passion -inciting
abuse on the part OF democrats
But the first assurance OF republican
victory at the polls is followed by food
OF vulgar and bitter abuse. The vocabu-
larry Of contempt and hatred Is exhausted
to supply terms for the abuse without dis
crlrninatlon or distinction Of all persons
who supported Mr. Bryan. The millions
of good citizens who have cast their Lai-
lots for the democratic candidate, believing
the Motley he advocated 20 be the light
rolicy. are denounced as an ignor lIt aud
vicious rabble.
Not only is this abuse OF beaten OPP
moments oowardly and ungenerods, ldt II
ig as dangerous 10 the public welfare az
