BUTLER'S HOT SPEECH.
He Reads tho Riot Act to Boilers
and Republicans.

Senator Buffers paper last week was
like war cry. He reads the riot act
to the boilers and to the Republicans
There arefour or i've columns Of sharp
and singing denunciation. One
head is: Combine of Rascality-
Spoil Of Once and Patronage q. =
Fund for CorruDtion-The Pritchard-
Skinner Deal Shame-PeIflldy and
Disgrace-Men Who Mu.t Forever
Rest Under Suspicion" He attacks
the boilers, saying that they denied
that they would bolt; that Skinner
said he would do and this was correct;
that Skinner says he will put in white
Populists as pOstmasters In the 1rst
district instead of negro Republicans.
The paper goes on to say: LAS for
the Republicans who use Skinner as a
tool, If you permit the tull consum
nation OF the scheme you do 1t at the
peril OF your party's salvation. There
fore do it If you dare. Cooperation
OF Populists and Republicans here
after is impossible. The true Popu-
lists have determined TO aim q death
blow at any party which will resort
to debauchery OF men. then use these
who have trusted them as friends" :"
Another editorial says: "A negro
Senator said today in a speech that If
the colored voters had thought there
would have been any opposition to
Pritchard among the Populists the
results might have been different.
Does this black fool understand and
appreciate the power which gave him
the slightest chance to be where he
is? II the results are different he
will flnd such conditions as will per-
NIT him and his kind to 60 hoary-
headed and wrinkled to the grave
without ever being able to cast anoth-

SON was travelling In South Carolina q

PROVED A SERIOUS JOKE.
A CoIored Man Personated the Devil
and Was Shot to Death.

Allan Boiling, colored, met his
death as the penalty OF a practical joke
at the house of Edmund Scott, also
colored, who lives near Charlottes
vile, Va. Boiling dressed up in the
garb which he thought an accurate
description Of the devil, smutted his
face and called at Scott's cabin. La
response to his knock Scott asked who
was at the door. Boiling assured him
that he was the devil and that he had
come for Scott. He demanded en-
trance, which was refused at first, but
arming himself Scott finally opened
the door AS he did so Boiling, seeing
the shot gun in his hands, attempted
to make his escape. Scott fired, kill
ing him almost instantly. A coroner's
Jury Investigated the causes leading
to the tragedy and returned verdict
to the effect that the shooting was
justifiable, inasmuch as Boiling went
10 Scott's cabin in disguise. Scott
was discharged from custody.

stroyed by Fire.
NEW YORK. Jan. 21.-About
O'Clock yesterday morning flames
broke out in the Medical College Of
Bellevue Hospital. The hospital pa
tients were gathered in the corridors,
but none of them had to be removed,
as the flames were confined to the col
lege building. Shortly after the fire
was discovered there was an explo-
sion, caused, 1t is supposed, by chemi-
Gals.
The flames made rapid headway, and
soon the interior of the building was
Quilted. The fourth floor was used as
q dissecting room, where there were
probably 80 bodies, all of which were
cremated. The damage to the build
ing and contents Is estimated at about
$40, 900. 1t is thought the fire was due
to defective ELECTRIC light wire.
