count of the death of Harace Price
at that place:
Horace, generally known as

son of John Price, had up to the
night of the 14th inst. been in the
enjoyment of excellent health. On
that eventful night he was out"
with a few cOnvivial friends. in a
quiet way partaking literally of
Rochester Tonic'' and the newly
introduced Mist. Returning home
alone, so far as is known, in the
wee small hours, he lay down on
the lawn where he was discovered
by passerby near the break of
day in an agOnized condition. He
was assisted into the house where
he was seized with convulsions
lasting only short time after the
arrival of medical aid until death
ensued. No post mortem exami-
nation was had. The body was
packed in ice awaiting the arrival
of his father. The interment took
place on Sunday afternoon. the
services being conducted by the
Odd Fellows, of which order he
was a member. Deceased was to
have been married on the day of his
burial.

hOuG MAY SUCCEED JONES.
Latter Is Said to Have Already Resign
ed the ChaIrmanshIp,

Austin, Tex, July 20.-An in
teresting bit of political gossip is
contained in letter received here
today bv a prominent democratic
politician from a wellknOwn Bryan
leader now in the East. The let
ter is to the effect that an element
of the National Democratic com
mittee is seeking to elect former
Governor James 5. Hogg, of Texas
to the position of chairman of the
committee, to succeed James h.
Jones.
The additional statement is con-
tained that a letter from Chair
man Jones, resigning the chair
manship, is in the hands of one of
the western members of the COM
mittee, and that the reason set
forth for the resignation is that i'll
health prevents him from entering
into the active work of organizing
the party's forces for the free sill
yer, antitrust and anti-imperilism
campaign soon to be waged.
The proposed change in the COM
mittee craftsmanship is said to
have been urged by Col. Bryan, as
a means of rewarding Mr.. Hogg
for his services in bursting the
Van Wick boom at the Tammany
Fourth of July celebration.
Bryan and Hogg have been inti-
mate political friends for several
years. After Hogg's triumph at
the Tammany celebration, Chair
man Jones was acquainted with
the situation, and his letter of
resignation, is said to have come
over from Europe on the next
steamer.
The letter received here con-
cludes by stating that a number of
members of the national committee
will antagOnize Hogg's election,
but that it is thought Bryan's in
fiuence will prevail.
Mr.. Hogg is now at an eastern
summer resort awaiting the result
of the political move in progress at
Chicago.
In confirmation of this story ad-
vices We're received here this even
ing that Hon. James q. Dudley, of
Texas. member of the committee
has offered to resign his place on
the committee in order to give
Hogg a place. and that the latter 5
appointment will be made.
