The Democratic County Convention was
held here to-day, and one of the net re-
suits is that fusion has been accepted.
though with a bad grace and only after
the Democrats, disguSted with the &C,
tons of the Populists, decided early this
evening to enter into an agreement only
with the Silver Republicans. Somewhat
later, with exceeding bad grace, a Popu,
list delegation appeared and said they
were at last satisfied to accept the con-
ditions.
Too many hard things, however, had
been said by Robert Fitzgerald, Ex-Con-
gresham English, Attorney Clarity and
Alex Rosborough about the "Populists
and dissatisfied Republicans to hope for
peace, so fusion, in repudiated and nau-
face by the convention.
X NJ. Fitzgerald, chairman of the fu-
sion committee, at $50 o'clock returned
70 70 the convention hall with the informa-
tlon That he was unable to find any trace
Of the Populist fusion committee and was
tired OF waiting. Fitzgerald tnen stated
That That the e, Populists desired either the
be allowed by the Democrats The Silver
Repubncans had agreed to fuse provid-
ing they were allowed the Assessor, Tax
collector, one City Justice and the nam
Ing of the physician for the Coroner. This
Fitzgerald announced was agreed to-
Warren English moved that a full Dem
amended so that the report of the con
ference committee be adonted The
amendment prevailed, and thereby the
democrats and Silver Republicans fused,
turning out the Populists
Nominations for Sheriff were then called
Tor and 1t brought out the old trouble
between the Laymance and the FItz
gerald wings. The first nomination was
made by Thomas Clarity. who proposed
Patrick O'kane. O'Kane withdrew J.
T. Mcleod was nominated by the FItz-
gerald wing. Warren English nominated
THOMAS Landregan and Thomas Clarity
seconded. r. M Fitzgerald seconded Nc
Leod'S nomination in warm speech.
This brought Clarity to his feet, He
declared Mcleod had been a citizen less
than TWO years. A great uproar followed,
after which Fitzgerald threw back a hot
shot. Half a dozen delegates were on
their feet at once and each nomination
was numerously seconded. On roll call

C0RBETT SAYS He WILL
CALL THE FIGHT OFF

ASBURY PARK, N. J., Sept. 24.-"Jfm'
Corbett has come to the conclusion that
kid Mccoy does not want to fight, and
tonight the former champion said:
Mccoy must accept my proposition to
fight before some other club and sign ar
ticles to that effect before the middle. of
take on Jeffries or Sharkey right away.
and l will also issue challenge to fight
any man in the world for the biggest
purse offered by any club in the United
States
Mccoy is only out for advertising and
does rot intend to fight. He knows very
well that the fight cannot take place in
Buffalo, and is afraid to sign articles to
pull off the scrap in any other town.
Now, he must come to time, or I'll throw
him over and take on Sharkey or JEFF
fries, either of whom are better lighters
than Mccoy"

A BARBAROUS SURGICAL
OPERATION
For the Cure OF piles.

Is not only intensely painful, danger
Gus to life and very expensive, bur in the
light Of modern medical research and since
the discovery OF the Pyramid Pile Cure
surgical operation is wholly unnecessary.
If you have any doubt OF the point kindly
read the following letters from people who
know that our claims regarding the merits
or the Pyramid Pile Cure are borne out
by the facts
From n. A. Stall, Ridge Road. Niagara
Co, n. y: / received your Pyramid Pile
Cure and tested 1t last night II did me
more good than anything l have ever
found yet, and remember this was the
result of one nights treatment only.
From Penn w. Arnett Batesville Ark:
Gentlemen:-Your Pyramid Pile Cure has
done me so much good in so short time
that my son-ln-law, Capt. T. j. Klein, of
Fort Smith, Ark, has written me for your
address. as he wishes to try it also.
From A Il. Townsend, Benville, Ind:
/ have been so much benefited by the
Pyramid Pile Cure that l enclose 81 for
which please send package which l wish
to give 10 friend of mine who suffers
very much from piles.
From John H. Wright, Clinton, Dewitt
Co, H.: ! am SO well pleased with the
Pyramid Pile Cure that 1 think 1t but right
to drop you few lines TO inform you it's
effects have been all that 1 could ask or
wish.
From p. A. Bruton Lano, Tex: Cen
tlemen:-The Pyramid Pile Cure has done
so much good for me that | will say for
the benefit of others that after using only
two days 1 am better than 1 have been
for months.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared by
The Pyramid Drug Co. of Marshall Mich.
and it is truly wonderful remedy for
all forms of piles. So great has been the
number of testimonial letters received by
them from all parts of the country that
they have decided to publish each week
a number of such letters.
All druggists recommend the Pyramid
Pile Cure, as they know from what their
customers say that no remedy gives such
general satisfaction.

CLAY TO STAND BY GAMBLER.
THE ILI.-ADVISED LETTER NOT TO
ALLEVIATE HIS SUPPORT.

Contents of the EpistIe as AppIica-
BILE TO the senator as TO Any of the
Other Supporters of Gov. Atkinson
in His Campaign Against Gen. Ev-
ans-Fight on Over the Gaines
willie POstmasterShip.
Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Clay viii
support Col. Gambler for Governor. but he
declines to say anything for publication
about the Gambler letter. which is now
attracting so much attention in Georgia.
The position of Senator Clay in this mat
ter has been a matter of considerable
speculation for the reason that the letter
criticizing those who worked for Gov. At
kinson in his first campaign seemed to
strike the senator and some of his clos
est friends. Perhaps Senator Clay more
than any other one man was instrumental
in nominating Gov, Atkinson in the fight
against Gen. Evans, and while he had a
few days ago declared when Mr. duBignon
got out of the race thai he was for Cand-
Ter il was Supposed that the letter would
make some difference with his position.
A great deal of pressure has been
brought by both sides to get him TO make
some public utterance in the matter, but
he has refused to do so, declining on the
grounds that he did not believe it proper
in one holding the Office he does 10 be
mixing in the politics of the state.
While he takes this position, his close
friends say there is no doubt that he
will stand on his declaration for Secretary
Gambler and will be for him in the con-
test that is to come. There is no doubt,
however, that the letter has alienated
some men who were disposed to be active
for Secretary Gambler and that others who
would have pulled off their shirts for the
one-eyed pillow boy will be exceedingly
luke warm. That is the indication gath
cred from talks with members of the
Georgia delegation, though all of them
refuse to talk for publication
Hogansville keeps to the front. This
time 1t comes in the shape of Judson
Lyons declaration that Prof Welchel
shall not be postmaster there because he
has never explained to the satisfaction of
the Republicans that he was one of those
who Joined in the boycott on Loftin.
While it looked a few days ago as if Gen.
Longstreet would be able to get the La
Grange place for the professor, the sit
uation there has entirely changed and for
that reason Prof. Welchel has been talk
ed of for the Hogansville place in case
Loftin was taken care of somewhere else.
Now the Postmaster General is said to
have given assurance that the LAGRANGE
postoffice shall go to Mrs. Awtrey, who
has the Endorsement of the LAGRANGE
Republicans.

SURVEY WORK IN NICARAGUA.
Engineers of the Commission Hav-

Engineers of the Commission Hav-
ing a Hard Time.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.
San Carlos, Nicaragua, Jan. 2S-The
photographic party, under command of
Lieut.. G. c. Hanus and the party of civil
engineers, under charge of G. w. Brown,
both belonging to the United States Mica
ragua Canal Commission, arrived here on
Dec. 81.
On Jan. the work of the survey began
in earnest. Mr.. Brown began the meas
urement of a base, but found the country
so difficult that he hade to abandon his
first line after having cut through wood
and swamp for more than a mile A
point was reached where 1t was impossi-
BILE to set up a transit. The men sunk to
their arm pits in the mire. The party
had better luck with their next effort
and line has been cut through the for
est for nearly three miles, which will af-
ford a practicable base for the hydro
graphic party.
Much sympathy is expressed for Mr.
Brown, who, just as success was in sight.
was forced to return to the United States
as a witness in a court martial of Cant.
Carter, U. S. A.
Lieut. Hanus and his party have not
been IDLE. There being no base to work
on one was assumed and work pushed
with energy. Signals were built during
the first week following Jan. T. and re-
connoisane lines of sounding were run.
The regular system of lines was begun
on JAN Is, and the total up to date is up
wards of 300 sea miles.
Lieut.. Hanus received a telegram from
Admiral Walker telling him that the
Nicaraguan gun boat, 1893. has been plac-
ed at his disposal for the running survey
and the determination of the area of the
| lake. Lieut.. Hanus will be away for ten
days or two weeks, and after his return
| work on the lake will be finished. The
| party will then commence on the river
and work their way down towards Ochoa.
| where their labors will cease
| The commissioners passed through here
| on the 18th instant on their way to Rivas
| and the west coast.
The party determining the rainfall
evaporation and limits of water shed gen
| orally will have to continue their observa-
tons for at least eighteen months in or
! der to obtain anything like definite re-
suits.

SEARCH FoR A TRUANT WIFE.
n. A. Strong of Savannah on Sensa-
tiOnal Mission in Brunswick

II. A. Strong of Savannah on a Sensa-
tiOnal Mission in Brunswick.
Brunswick. Ga. Feb. lab. A. Strong.
a Central railroad engineer, who lives at
Meldrim, near Savannah, is in the city,
prosecuting a search that has already last
ed three months, and extended over the
entire southern section of this country.
Strong is looking for his wife, who is de-
seribed as a pretty and accomplished young
woman, and for his two little girls one
just passed her first birthday, the other
four years old. strong's story is pathetic
ore.
In November last, Mrs Strong and the
little girls went to Ocala, Fla on a visit
to relatives While there a tramp painter
was employed about the place, and SEEM
ed to have exercised hypnotic influence
over the young wife of the engineer. At
any rate, Strong received information
soon after the arrival of his wife a Ocala,
that she had left with the painter, taking
the little girls with her. The engineer
was nearly heart-broken by the news, but
he resigned his position with the railroad
and left at once to trace mis- truant wife.
He followed the trail through several
states, and, last week, received information
that led him TO believe that they had come
to Brunswick.
Strong made known his purposes here
TO The police yesterday, and at once learn
ed something that led him to believe that
the end of his search was near at hand
He found that the city clerk had issued,
last Thursday, a license to Ed Allen, a
painter. This is the name of the man
who eloped with Strong's wife and chill
dren The police are assisting the almost
crazed husband in the search. There may
be some startling developments when the
husband and wife meet Strong says he
doesn't care for his wife, but wants his
little girls.
The Knights of Pythias fair opened to-
night under hattering auspices.
Dennis Jones, the woman who was shot
five times by her lover John Curry, at
has appeared in these dispatches, is slow
ly recovering, and the physicians are hope
full of saving her life.
The purchase by Ellis. Young & Co.,
of the Bush wharf property, in this city.
was finally closed this afternoon. The
purchase price is a little less than $40, COO
The purchasers will improve the 800 feet
of water front Immediately with new
Wharyes.
H. H. Raymond, general Southern agent
of the Mallory Line, has just returned from
Washington, where he was in consulta-
ton with the Southern Railway officials
relative to the immediate Improvement OF
the Southern wharf property here 1t is
announced that the railway officials
agreed with Mr. Raymond to begin work
at once.
