Blair had entered the store with her
dog Mac" A few moments thereafter
The senator's daughter and the great
actress exchanged startled glances;
then Mac leaped at Barrie like
tiger. A battle amid shoppers and
bric-a-brac was imminent. Mrs. Blair
seized Mac by the collar and walked
him out on his hind legs, while Miss
Nethersole soothed the anger of her
pet, and bloodshed was avoided.

SHAM OR ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.
DIR. Ryder Resorts to Fire and water
I-nsuccessfully

Columbus, Ga, Jan. 1O.--Dr. w. L. Ry-
der. under sentence for the murder of
Miss owens at Talbotton, and confined in
Muscogee jail for safe keeping, attempt
ed to kill himself in curious manner this
afternoon. There was a bucket of water
in Ryder's cell and by some means he Sc
cured a match, with which he set fire to a
pillow and old shirt, attempting to suffo-
cate or strangle himself by breathing the
hot smoke and alternately holding his
head in the bucket of water as long as
he could without breathing.
When discovered by the jailor Ryder
was apparently dying. Dr. Mansfield was
hastily summoned and revived the wretch
ed man, but stated he would have been
dead had he reached him a few minutes
later.
Ryder was sentenced TO be hung this
month, but his case win so to the supreme
court, deferring his execution, Counsel
for Ryder declare him insane and point
to his attempted suicide as confirmation.
Others say II was only.a bluff to strength
en- the insanity theory, and suggest that
If Ryder had really meant to kill himself
he could have done so easily by setting
fire to his bed and his clothing.
Ryders crime was one of the most
shocking In the criminal annals of the
state, he having entered the parlor Of the
residence of respected citizen of Talbot
ton and shot to death the beautiful Miss
owen, as she sat talking to State Senator
Gus Persons. Ryder was in love with
Miss Owen and she had rejected his suit

all indorse this idea, including our ma
tional chairman. The president of the Re
form Press Association has written me
that that organization will meet in Mem
phis Feb. %. and will strongly ipdorse the
plan. and if this appeal meets with general
acceptance, l believe it will be officially
indorsed by the national committee.
This is not the result of any fIlclio
between the two national committees, as
they worked in perfect harmony through
out the campaign, and I have only the
highest praise for the honesty, sincerity
and integrity of Senator Jones and his as
sociates. When the silver question was
discussed in congress the populists led the
fight in its defense, and not only forced
the issue upon the country, but compelled
the democrats to support it. Now, in like
manner when the discussion of the retire.
ment of the greenbacks and the govern
ment ownership of the Pacific railroads
are precipitated on congress it will in
volve the whole question of government
paper money and government ownership
of railroads, which will become the alb
sorbing subjects of discussion by con-
gress, the press and the people. 1t would,
therefore, be folly for the populists to try
to force the silver issue when the whole
country is to discuss another, This move
on the part of the populist party is good
generalship and will place it at the head of
the column of reform when the democrats
are protecting the rear
What do you think the silver republi-
cans will do?" was asked.
ut was noticeable that while the rank
and file blended well with the populists
during the campaign, they would have
nothing to do with the democrats, and j
believe if they decide to merge with any
party it will be with the populists. / be-
lieve that our defense of the greenbacks,
the soldiers money, will win thousands of
republicans and democrats to our ranks.
Mr.. Bryan is far ahead of his party
and is often spoken of as a populist, and
should the issues we raise become the dis
cussion of the whole country and Mr..
Bryan should champion them as he has
silver, it is easy to predict the result in

INDIANAPOLIS CONVENTION.
1t Opens Tomorrow and 500 or 600
Delegates Expected.

indianapolis, Ind. Jan. 10.-The none
tary convention will-open at 2 o'clock next
Tuesday afternoon in Tomlinson hall. 1t
is expected to continue three days. The
names of $40 delegates to the convention
have been reported to the local executive
committee, and the latter says fully go
delegates have been chosen by boards of
trade and commercial Organizations.
whose names have not been reported, and
that the representation win be between
800 and GOO.
The committee rooms in the Denison ho-
tel presented busy scene yesterday over
200 of the prominent business men of the
city came to the rooms, said they had
been appointed members of the various
committees, asked where they were to re-
port for work and were supplied with
tickets of admission to the hall and with
blue silk badges bearing the words, Re-
ception committee" stamped on them in
gold. These committees will begin work
early Monday morning, when 1t is ex-
pected that delegates will begin arriving
in force. The tickets bear the words,
indianapolis Monetary Convention, Tues
day, Jan. II. 1897"
The executive committee is trying to ar
range 1t so that all strangers coming into
town to attend the convention will be
taken care of. In response to letters
from delegates the executive committee
has engaged rooms at the leading hotels
w. F. Colt who has been appointed SER
geant-at-arms for the convention has ap-
pointed eleven assistants to guard the
doors and take care of the sessions. In
addition to this Supt. Colbert of the police
department has detailed six policemen to
guard the place and maintain order. Tie
chairman of the executive committee will
call the meeting to order and will nomi-
nate b. o. Standard, ex-governor of Mis-
souri, as temporary chairman. Jacob
W. Smith, acting secretary of the commit
tee, will be the temporary secretary. IT
is understood that Evans Wooden will be
pressed for permanent secretary. Mr..
Standard will have some remarks to offer
and this. together with the completion of
the organization, will consume most Of
the first session.

RACE HORSES ROASTED.
Stables of the Norfolk Driving Club
Burned with 13 Horses.

Norfolk, Va, Jan. 1O-The extensive
racing stables of the Norfolk Driving
Club and Fair Association was burned
this morning at $3.50 o'clock, and thirteen
valuable racing horses, including John
Mariners $4,000 Tiddley Winks. were
cremated alive. The fidelity of Tony
Brown, a hostler to this horse, will prob
ably cost him his life. In attempting to
lead the horse from the burning building,
he was frightfully burned about the face
and back, and his recovery is extremely
doubtful. The loss will be about $50, 900,
on which there is barely $3.50 insurance.
William Hurett, a colored Waterman,
was al first supposed to have been burned
alive, but he was later seen in the city,
and was arrested, charged with setting
fire to the building. A northeast gale,
which prevailed at the time, saved the
large grand stand from destruction.

LualREH YARDS DURrD.
One of the Biggest Firms Mt Buffalo
Burned Out.

Buffalo, N. Y. Jan. II, 2 a. m.-The large
lumber yards of Haines & Co. were dis
covered on fire at o'clock Sunday after
noon. The yards are bounded
by Erie and River streets,
the Colt slip and the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western railroad tracks.
The flames spread quickly, and in response
to a second alarm all the fire apparatus
in the southern section of the city re-
sponded, and were reinforced by the fire
tugs Potter and Richardson. Fully 1900
people gathered to see the confagration.
While the fire was prevented from spread
ing further, the utmost efforts of the fire
departments were powerless to entirely
subdue the blaze, and up to / a. m. the
hremen were at work on the place. There
is $4,000 worth Of lumber in the yard and
it is insured for $4,000. The loss Is esti-
mated at about $4,000. Three firemen we're
overcome by smoke and had to be taken

DUBOIS CHANCES GOOD.
Populists and Democrats Unable to
Agree on a Candidate.

Boise, Idaho, Jan. 10.-The democrats
and populists have determined to caucus
separately and there is little prospect at
present of the breach between them being
patched up. The Dubois men are san
guine and all the indications point strong
ly to their success. The democrats have
absolutely refused to support Claggett,
populist, and some OF his own party have
gone back on him, so that he is considered
practically out of the race. Johnson is urg-
ed by the democrats but only few of the
populists are satisfied with him and II
looks very unlikely that the democrats
and popuists can agree upon any candi-
date. Neither Angel nor Cooper, populists,
can command even the full support Of
their own party, all Of which goes to inn
prove the chances Of Duboise.
