Maybe It Was Artillery Punch

Washington, June 29.-Senator Bacon, of Georgia, arrived in Washington last night. He is much annoyed at the story recently sent out from Macon, Ga., to the effect that he had been poisoned and made desperately ill by eating toad stools He says the re- port was entirely without foundation and he is at loss to understand how it orig mated, as he was not in Macon at the time indicated. The Senator not only was not ill then, but has been in perfect health since In fact, with the exception of an accident which happened to him in Washington last winter, he has not been i'll from any cause in years.

BLACKS MAKE UGLY THREAT

Evergreen, June 29.-(Special)- ing to an order from Governor Johnston, the Conecuh Guards are resting on their arms here tonight to prevent clash be- tween the races.
 Trouble between the blacks and whites has been brewing since Monday and today it seemed that crisis would be reached, and the sheriff asked the Governor for as- sistance. The Governor promptly ordered the Guards to report to the sheriff, and since the appearance on the streets of the soldiers, further trouble is not anticipated.
 Monday MT. Decatur Moorer, who lives near here, had some trivial difficulty with a negro Two nights afterwards brutal attempt was made to assassinate MT Moor CT and his wife by some person. who fired two loads of bucbshot into his sleeping room Last night MT. Moorer came to Evergreen and asked some of his friends to go out to his placed for his protection During the night very insolent and tur- bulent negro named Shed Union, was shot fatally. His son was shot at the same time but it is thought not mortally.
 Today ugly signs were manifested by the negroes. They were coming to town in squads all armed and trying to buy ammu- milton. During the night a white man was cut in the face by a negro. which added to the excitement At that time the sheriff requested the Governor to order the Ever green Guards to preserve the peace, which was done The soldiers were stationed in different parts of the town. At midnight the sheriff reports everything quiet, and further trouble is anticipated during the night.

No Official News at Washington

Washington, June 29.-Up to midnight no official news has been received in Wash ington bearing on the report that the bat tleship Oregon has gone ashore near Che Foo. Early last week Admiral Remey was directed to send this vessel from Hong Kong to Taku. Captain Wilde is her com mander. Sbe left Hong Kong last Saturday night, two days ahead of her expected de- parture, and had on board in addition to her regular crew, 164 sailors and marines brought to Hong Kong from Manila by the Kafiro. The distance she had to travel was about 1,500 miles, and calculations of the naval officers here was that if the vessel made record time, she would be at Taku in six days. Today is tho sixth day that the Oregon has been on her voyage, so that in all probability she must be in the vicinity of Che Foo if she maintained her reputation as a fast battleship.

THE Y. M. c. A.
Prompt and Earnest Effort Will be Made
 to Raise Building Fund

The committee appointed at the Y. M. c. A. conference held in the Commercial Club rooms Thursday night, to canvass for mon ey to build a home for the association will organize for work within the next few days. This committee Is composed of Rob- ert Jameson, M. V. Joseph, and B. F. Moore, representing the business men, and w. F. Tyler, T. H. Johnston and R. S. Munger from the Y. M c. A.
 As published in the Age-Herald yester- day, MT. Munger agrees to give 5000 toward a building fund provided $45, 900 more is raised. It is for the purpose of getting the s45,OO0 that the committee named above was appointed.
 The Y. M. c. A will give up its pres- ent quarters at the corner of Nineteenth street and Fourth avenue early in July The Hillman Hotel Company, which re- gently acquired that property, is desirous of beginning work within the next week or so, and it has asked the association to vacate the building by July l; but as the associations lease does not expire until August l, it is possible that the work of moving out may be delayed until the 10th or 18th of July.
 MT. Johnston and other Y. M. c. A. lead CTS are very hopeful of raising the money needed for putting up a commodious build ing. They say that there are enough Chris tian men in this city who are abundantla able to contribute liberally to the build ing fund to make the scheme a success They are expecting several large subscrip- tions. general canvass will not be made until the thousand dollar men have first been seen.
 In view of the building project the Y. M. C. A. will pack up its furniture. ath- letic equipment and library and store them It will rent a small room for the secre- tary's office, and will hold its religious meetings in the churches, until such time as a permanent home can be provided. To fit up temporary Y. M. c. A. quarters would prove too expensive.

Bryan will be nominated for Presi- dent on the same day that he is nominated by the Democrats.

The Issues

Kansas City, June 29-The topic upper most in the minds of the Democracy seems to be whether or not there shall be a specific declaration in the platform for free silver coinage at 16 to 1 or whether a simple reaffirmation of the platform adopted at Chicago will be sufficient. It is believed that much depends upon MT Bryans wishes in the matter, but even he may not be able to influence the action of the convention. if it is deemed a wise policy to adopt the same plan that has been followed in several Western states and not specifically mention 16 to l.

 Do you think it essential to Democratic success to nominate a New Yorker for sec- ond place?" MT. Lewis was asked.
