A sad Accident.

Raleigh, n. c., July Is. AT a sham
battle of the Governors Guard at Pull
len park tonight, George n. Banks, a
member of the guard, who was taking
part in the battle, was shot and killed
almost instantly. The bullet struck
him almost in the middle of the fore
head and ranged downward and lodged
in the brain.
1t cannot be ascertained who is re-
sponsible for the loaded cartridge. 1t
seems that the cartridges We're ex-
amined very cl osely before being given
out by the aptain and first and second
Lieutenants and, owing to the differ
ence in the weight of a loaded and
blank cartridge it is hard to account for
accident. To lend addition mystery to
the stray bullet, ii is said no loaded
have been given out by the
company for over two years.

vile, from all parts Of the "Bloody
Ground the sturdiest sons of Demo-
cratic fore fathers, with their purpose
as they put it, of sustaining the Demo-
cracy and bringing back those who
have strayed after silver idol.
The duty of calling the convention to
order fell upon Hon. A. J, Carroll, of
Louisville, who has been one of the
hardest fighters in the ranks of the
gold Democrats.
Permanent organization was speedily
effected with the Hon. John 6. Carlisle
as chairman and the convention arose
as one man to wave hats and cheer as
he assumed the presidency.
The resolutions denouce the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver; oppose the
levying of unjust taxes, advocate the
reform of the currency laws so as to
maintain the standard of the world
and furnish a sound, stable and sut1i-
cient currency of gold and silver.
Grover Cleveland was endorsed.
At 4 Is o'clock the election of can
didate for Clerk of the Court of Appeals
was entered upon, Those placed in
nomination We're the Hon. J r. Hind
man, of Adair county, John q. Orndorh',
of Logan county,; G. NJ, Albert, of Fay
cite county.
The calling Of the votes by counties
had not progressed far before it fore
shadoWed the election Of Hindman and
Mr.. Orndorff withdrew and moved that
the election of eX Lieutenant Governor
Hindman be made unanimous. This
was done and cheers brought the sue
cessful candidate to the front of the
stage. He expressed his appreciation
in fitting terms. The convention then

In that inning the visitors batted out
five runs. making six hits, including one
for two bases In the seventh f..
Schaub made a home run. The locals
took q spurt In the seventh, and made
four runs. out of four singles and a
couple of two-baggers. The second was
utterly dull. Osborne could not hnd the
plate. and when no did he was hit all
over the field. Five hits and three runs
is the record for the first inning. Three
singles. two two-baggers, three bases
on balls. and six runs is what happened
I'm the third. one run was forced, ana
four scored after Corbett missed a
chance to retire the side by muffing an
easv foul fly The Athletics made their
single run in the fifth, on two-bagger,
n single. and an error of Weddige. The
eame was called in the sixth on ac-
count OF darkness. Scores:
