Uric Sloane, of Columbus, boss of the
Highland county Democracy, is busily
engaged since his return to this city in
laying plans to control the coming coun.
ty convention and select an anti-Mc
Lean delegation to the State convention.
The slate which we announced last week
as prepared by him and the Hillsboro
ring for the coming convention is still
intact and has been strengthened by the
name of John Puckett, of Clay, for
Treasurer. That is Mr.. Puckett has
been told he could have the Treasury
nomination if he would withdraw from
the race for Recorder and cast his for
tunes with the Ring. Against this for.
midable combination there is only one
prominent Democrat. Hon..R T. Hough
is ANXIOUS to secure the delegation for
John R. Mclean. He is an untiring
worker and but for the fact that the
State delegates are selected by the coun-
ty convention and he thus has the en-
tire slate arrayed against him would
surely win. AS it is he is making a
fight that is causing all kinds of worry
to the boss and his henchmen. They
have established temporary headqusr
tiers in room IL at the Kramer House,
and every prominent Democrat in Hills
boro Tuesday evening who is in sympa-
thy with Sloane and his crowd was
busily patrolling the streets for county
recruits and escorting them there by the
rear route. While it seems almost a
foregone conclusion that the Sloane
slate will 60 through in regard to the
county Offices the adherents of John R.
Mclean are very confident OF securirg 2
the State delegates and then the fight
will be of the warmest kind. Further
information eheerfully furnished both
sides at the NEWS HERALD office.

DEWEY'S WISH.
II Is Said That He Wanted to Attack
and Capture Manila Twenty
Five Years Ago.

1t is a remarkable fact that Admiral
Dewey contemplated the attack and
capture of Manila 25 years ago, and it
may develop that he carried out last
year the plans which were prepared
q generation ago. In 1878, when the
Virginius outrage was perpetrated,
Commodore Dewey was in command of
the Narragansett, which was on the
Asiatic station. The country was in
famed over the outrage and war with
Spain seemed imminent. Dewey wrote
the navy department officials asling to
be assigned to the duty of capturing
Manila if war should be declared. The
peaceful settlement of the Virginius
affair prevented the plans of the ati-
miral being carried out, but it is an
interesting fact that the hero of Manila
bay had his eye on the Philippine cap
ital quarter Of a century ago.
When the Olympia, followed by the
rest of the magnificent fleet, steamed
into Manila bay Is months ago, Admiral
Dewey doubtless remembered his ear
lier aspirations, as well as the Maine
horror, and that he did his work so
we'll may have been due to the fact that
few well-placed shots were fired in
revenge for the Virginius horror. It
is probable the letter written by Com
modore Dewey in 1873, in which his
plan of attack was outlined, is on file
at the navy department. A search will
be made for it, and if it is found will be
reproduced by the citizens committee
as souvenir of the reception to be
given the admiral upon his return to
the nations capital,

John Weatherford Guilty of Patricide.


The coroner's jury in the Weather
ford murder case at Tuscumbia, Ala,
rendered verdict Monday, finding
that the deceased engineer was muir
dered by his son, John Weatherford.
The evidence introduced was con-
elusive and convicting. Ninety-fve
per cent of the people of Tuscumbia
now believe that the murder was COM
mitted by young Weatherford, and
feeling is bitter against him.
The most probable motive thai
could have prompted young Wealth
erford is securing his fathers life in
surance. 1t is a well known fact that
the young man was sorely in need OF
money, and tho insurance on his ia
theirs life, amounting to $4,000, was
not to be despised.

Alabama Iron for Export.

The furnaces in the Birmingham

This trade is said to be more active
right now than the domestic trade,
and before the end of the year quite a

will have started on its way across the
ocean. The iron manufactured in
this section seems to be gaining in fa-

of bringing q demand later on. Pres
ident Nat Baxter, of the Tennessee

now being made for Alabama iron to
be shipped across the ocean. tits be-
lieyed this trade can be worked up tc

"rof. Lipscomb Killed While Attending
Service at Dallas, Tex.
At Dallas, Texas, Sunday night one
of the most startling tragedies ever
known occurred in the First Christian
church. In the midst of protracted
meeting services John T. Carlisle
arose from bis seat at the rear end OF
the house and walked to where Prof.
VIM, Lipscomb, principal of the Cen
tral High school, the leading educa
tional institution of the public schools
of the city, was seated on the FROM
seat, in front Of the altar, and shot
him without word of warning, and
he died within an hour afterward.
Carlisle had for nearly year been
chief janitor of the high school, but
failed to be reappointed by the school
board about ten days ago. Carlisle
attributed his defeat for reappoint.
ment to the professors influence with
the school board. 1t is believed this
was the cause of the murder.
Prof. Lipscomb was native OF
Nashville, and came to Dallas -four
years ago. John F. Carlisle is ma
tive of Kentucky, cousin of the for
mer secretary of the Natl onal Treas
ury, John G.. Carlisle.

though they, of course, fight we'll there
