& Iron Co, The deal has been pending
for some months, and while there was
some element Of surprise in the matter,

BULLET WOUND PROVED FATAL
Catchings Died Yesterday From Ball
In the Side.

After lingering in pain for two days
Will Catchings, the negro mysterious
~ shot Tuesday night while resisting
arrest, died yesterday at the home OF
his sister here, whence he was carried
from Mary Holloway's place after the
shooting and where City Physician B.
B. Hudson attended him.
Catchings belonged in Marion coun-
ty, and the body will probably be taken
back there by his relatives this morn
ing.
The story of the mysterious shooting
of Catchings' has been told in the
Times Recorder. Though it occurred
Tuesday night, the police have been
unable to learn anything further as to
who fred the shot though the theory
is advanced that the bullet was fred
by friend of the dead negro.
If aimed at one of the officers it was
an attempted murder that miscarried,
and Catchings was the victim of one
of his pals who evidently tried to as
sist him in the fight.
This, it would seem, was the most
plausible theory in the case.
Tuesday night Officers Barrow,
Smith and Albrltton went to the house
of Mary Holloway to make an arrest
when Catchings and another negro
were found there, the latter having q
drawn pistol. Catchings resisted Wig
orously when arrested and fought the
officers in the dark hallway.
While the four were struggling in
the house, dark as pitch, pistol was
fired very near them, seemingly at the
front door. There were two or three
negroes outside at the time.
When the officers came out of the
house the negroes had run away.
It is said that the fatal shot was fred
from 80 calibre pistol, It struck
Catchings over the hip and penetrated
the abdomen. The ball was not found
at the time, though a careful search
was made by physicians. After Iinger-
ing two days the negro died yesterday
afternoon.
It has not yet been determined
whether an inquest will be ordered.

A DENIAL BY GERMANY.
PRINCE CHING AT PEKIN.
With Authority to Obtain Peace at Any Neces-
sary Sacrifice

Copyright. 1900, by Associated Press)
Pekin, Sept. 5.-(Via Shanghai Sept.
14.)-Prince Ching arrived here yesterday
accompanied by an escort of British and
Japanese cavalry. He spent the night in
his own palace. Sharp diplomatic play
is expected for an advantage, but any
definite negotiations will probably not
take place until Ii Hung Chang shall
have arrived and the question of his
authority shall have been disposed of.
The Japanese Minister to China stated
to a representative of the Associated
Press that he wished an investigation
to be made of Lii Hung Chang's Gre
dentials as he believed that Prince Ching
was the only man with authority in the
premises.
The Associated Press representative
saw Prince Ching today, thanks to the
courtesy of the Japanese guards. The
Prince said he trusted that in the i'm
mediate future everything would be set
tied satisfactorily.
He had come to Pekin, he said, with full
authority from the Emperor to obtain
peace by any necessary sacrifice, but
he felt sure the generosity Of the pow
ers would not exact anything degrading
TO the dignity of China or encroaching
upon Chinese territory

STATE CAMPAIGN OPENED
Bryans Address a Review of the
Political Situation.
His AUDIENCE NUMBERS THOUSANDS
Bryan Says Republicans Can Find Answer to
Their Full Dinner Pail Argument Among
The Coal Miners Whose Wages is
Less Than $3.50 Year.
Less Than $3.50 a Year.
(By the Associated Press.)

Columbus. Ohio, September 14.-The
Ohio Democrats opened their campaign
here today with meeting in the after
noon at Goodale Park and in the evening
at the Goodale auditorium. William Jen-
nings Bryan made speeches at both meet
ings, and there was n large attendance
of Democratic leaders from all parts of
the State.
Mr.. Bryan spoke for an hour and a
quarter in the afternoon and he appear
ed in good condition despite his loss of
sleep last night. His audience number
ed many thousand persons and they gave
close attention as we'll as frequent
cheers. The speech was a general re-
view of the political situation, and it was
evidently intended to set the pace for
the campaign in Ohio. Mr.. Bryan said:
Measured by the principles for which
the party stands, there is every reason
why the people of this State Should sup
port our ticket and if any feel like being
restrained by a matter of State pride
you should remember that you have had
presidents enough for this State to sat-
isfy reasonable pride and then one term
is long enough IL man does what he
ought to, and if he does not, it is too
long.
'If the laboring man wants arbitration
as a means of settling differences be-
tween labor and capital he is told by
the Republican party that as long as he
has full meal he does not need any
thing else. If the laboring man protests
against government by injunction the
only answer he gets is "a full dinner
pail.
my friends if the Republican party
wants 10 make its full dinner pail argu-
ment let it go into the anthracite coal
regions where the operatives get less
than $3.50 year This mornings paper
contains the statement that the wages
paid to miners will in some instances
average less than $3.50 year. Why. my
friends, that will not give the laboring
man one full dinner pail a day and he
ought to have two. applause. | am
afraid that when the Republican party
was not looking, the lid of the dinner
pail few off and some coal got into the
bucket, and | understand it is coal that
weighs nearly twice as much per ton as
the law requires, and the Republican
party when it goes to blow it out will
have to do it with powder that is sold
to the miners at $2.75 a keg, when it is
only worth $150."
