been re elected. Col. Morgan insisted
on the re election of Gen. Bridewell
and earnestly protested against his own
election, but the comrades forced the
position on him.
A resolution was adopted urging the
camps to make provision for as many
of the veterans to visit Nashville in
June as possible. The commanding
general will issue an appeal to that end.
Resolutions were adopted urging the
various camps to appoint committees to
confer with county pension boards, and
insisting that the legislature shall make
more liberal provisions for INDECENT
ex -Confederates. A committee was
appointed to confer with the legislature
on this subject.
The eneampment voted in favor of
changing the name of the organization
from United Confederate Veterans to
Confederate Survivors Association.
The meeting was very interesting
one. At the same time next year the
next conclave will be held.

Must Take the Consequences.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-The other
day Senator Jones, of Arkansas, got a
letter from prominent gold Democrat
in which the writer declared that if
gold Democrats had known that the
election of Mckinley meant "a return
to McKinleyism the Republicans
would not have received the assistance
they got from gold Democrats.
The reply of Senator Jones discloses
the attitude of the Democratic managers
in the senate toward tariff legislation,
The letter written by the gold Demo
Graf, after denouncing McKinleyism,
went ON to urge the Democrats in the
senate to fight the Dingley bill by every
available means known to parliament
airy practice. Senator Jones reply was
that every intelligent man knew that the
election of Mckinley meant the enact
of high protective tariff law. The
issue was squarely presented, he said,
between increased taxation on the one
hand as cure for the evils from which
the country is suffering, and, on the
other hand, the relief of the people by
currency legislation. The advocates of
relief by taxation, he said, were sue
cessful, and those who contributed to
that success had Endorsed the principle.
He said, therefore, that he was opposed
TO any obstruction to the tariff bill
While he did not approve of it, did not
believe any good could come of it, and
would surely vote against it, he would
not endeavor to obstruct legislation.
The reply carried with it the idea that
nothing could be done by the Demo
Gratis to interfere with full test of the
tariff as measure Of relief. The reply
is significant, as many letters of the
sort to which the reply was made are
being received from gold Democrats.
1t means that the tariff bill is going to
go through the senate as speedily as the
Republicans can handle it.

Special Council Meeting.

The city council met in special session
Monday to investigate the Office of chief
of police of the city.
The first business was to release the
bondsmen, who had expressed desire
to withdraw. A new bond was then
presented by the chief and referred to
the finance committee for examination.
After this had been disposed of charges
were preferred against Mr.. Houck for
shortage in his accounts and having
written letters to certain parties I'M
becoming an officer. Mr.. Houck asked
to be given until next Tuesday to
prepare his defense and in the mean
time he was suspended from Office and
the police committee instructed 70 fill
the temporary vacancy. Later in the
day they selected Jno. Merrill to fill the
temporary vacancy.
The police force was instructed to en-
force the bicycle ordinance to the letter
The council then adjourned till next
Tuesday.

Shooting at Graphic.

From Mr.. S. W. Sheriff. we learned
Monday of serious shooting ARRAY
which took place at a dance given at
the house of Mum Barker last Friday
night near Graphic.
1t appears that the two Bailey
brothers had spite against Hank
Meeks, who some time since while act
ing as deputy sheriff had arrested Clark
Bailey for carrying brass knucks.
1t is said that it had been given
Meeks to understand that the Bailey S
were looking for trouble with him and
he had been keeping out of their way
not wishing to get into difficulty. On
the night in question he accepted a
pressing invitation from Barker to
attend the dance at his house and
accepted. On arriving he found both
Clark and Jno. Bailey-the latter
resides in Franklin county-there
together with number of their friends.
The Bailey's began shortly after his
arrival trying to force him into a
disturbance by stepping on his feet,
etc. Finally Clark got in front of him
and John behind, the latter striking
him on the back of the head with, it is
supposed, brass knucks and Clark
struck him in the face and then grasped
him around the waist. Meeks, think
ing it was time to act, drew his pistol
and reaching over his shoulder fired.
He then threw the pistol down on Clark
Bailey and shot him, the ball entering
the abdomen and inflicting a serious
wound. John was only slightly
wounded, the ball penetrating his hand
and striking his breast, but glanced off.
Meeks Immediately after the shooting
left the neighborhood and had not given
himself up up to the time that Mr..
Sheriff. left there.
From the circumstances surrounding
the case it would appear that the
assault was premeditated on the part of
the Bailey boys and that Meeks was
justified in his actions.

The Worst Ever Made.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-Marshal
Field, of Chicago, the great merchant,
is in Washington to confer with the
senate finance committee on the tariff
bill. To reporter for the Washington
Post, who asked for his opinion Of the
Dingley bill, he replied;
II have nothing to say, except the
general remark that it is the worst tariff
bill ever saw, not only as regards
rates of duty imposed, but in the
complicated and ambiguous methods of
imposing them. There is hardly line
in the bill that will not have to be
interpreted by the supreme court.

In Durance Vile.

From the Fayetteville Sentinel.
Harry Delmar, the festive masher of
many names, is now in Jail here,
having been sent down from Springdale
to await our circuit court. Several
other places want Delmar when Judge
Mcdaniel gets through with him.
Delmar, or whatever his name may
be, is wanted for getting money under
false pretenses at Springdale. He
pretended to represent a millinery house
and induced Mrs. E. l.. Seaman to
advance him S27 90 on bill of goods he
pretended to sell her. Deputy Sheriff
S. l.. Todhunter went to Little Rock
and brought Delmar up.

Bryan Barely Escaped.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla, April Sat
the conclusion of William J. Bryan 8
speech here tonight, about 10 o clock
the crowd pressed forward to shake
hands with him. Their weight caused
the platform, on which were Mr.. Bryan
and the committee, consisting of Sen.
ator Frank P Genovar, Clifford Foster,
Judge MacWilliams and A. j. Watts,
and the band of the First United States
Artillery, to collapse, and about a
hundred men. women and children fell
into the darkness thirty feet below.
Mr.. Bryan was picked up uncon-
scious and removed to physician s
office, where an examination revealed
that he had received no injuries of a
serious character.
Had the rear porches not withstood
the strain the disaster would doubtless
have been attended by great loss of life,
as fully one thousand people were on
that portion of the structure.
