The Exccutive Committee.

Jacksonville Times-Uncn and Citizen:
The meeting CT the Democratic State
Committee, held in this city yesterday,
was in some respects a disappointment to
those who had anticipated hat the cam
paign machinery would be put in motion.
AS a result of two long sessions, COM
mittee of nine was appointed to arrange
the itinerary of campaign meetings
through the state, a finance committee OF
five was named to have charge of ways
and means for raising campaign funds,
as well as to dsburse such funds, and the
meeting then adjourned, directing the
chairman to call the committee together
again on Aug. "a, when other business
which was left yesterday uncomp'eted
will be taken up. The primary rules will
go over to the next meeting.

Two jacksonville Aldermen May BE
Ousted From Ofice.

Jacksonville. Fla, Aug. 2.-Justice Will
lard was summoned to McColum's tur-
pentne camp seven miles southwest of
the city to-day, to hold an inquest on the
body of AIRY Golden, negress who died
their suddenly, it is said, from blows in
fiicted by her husband. In her dying mo-
ment she told Of how he had come into
her room, and finding her lying on the
bed, took up heavy lightwood knot and
struck her three heavy blows on the alb
domen with it, causing her frightful pain.
She died soon afterwards The negroes
there were greatly incensed against he:.
husband and caught him and tied him
tightly till an officer went out and arrest
ed him. The wife stated that if she died
her husband would be responsible
There is much talk over the legal pro-
ceedings being taken to remove Council
men Bethel and Puckhaber Some days
ago Judge Young applied for writ of
quo warranto for the purpose of removing
them on the ground that they were APP
pointed by, the Council, when the charter
provides that the bond trustees shall APP
point all officers not elected by the people
AS both these officials were appointed 10
fill vacancies by the Council, it was con-
tended that they had no legal right TO
their present seats. Behind this was a
move, so it was stated, to have the recent
action of the Council in giving street rail-
way franchises to the Plant System de-
clared Illegal on account of these aldermen
holding their seats Illegally, and j. NJ.
Bars. city attorney has been given credit
for being behind the move. To-day he had
a card in the Metropolis stating that while
he knew some of Judge Young's clients,
whom he declared were among the leading
business men here, etc. he had no hand
personally in the matter. He thinks tina,
the suit will stand, and that Bethel aud
PIckhaber will be declared not to be en-
titled to their seats.
Another interesting matter has me up
in political circles and that is the ques-
ton of j. NJ. Bars, city attorney, hav ng
a right to be appointed presidential elec-
tor while holding that office. The State
Executive Committee referred the ma tier
to a special committee TO investigate.
Mr.. Bars wrote to Senator Jon of the
National Committee, and the latter re-
piled that he did not think thai Mr.. Bars
was eligible. Mr.. Jones stated further
that he did not think a state sena tor
should be appointed either. AS Mr. Hunt
Harris, senator from Monroe county, has
been appointed an alternate, this effects
ator Jones and has written the Senator a
long letter, endeavorng TO convince the
national leader that he (Barrs), can no d
both offices The Democrats here are
waiting with interest 10 see If the elo-
quent city attorney can change Mr.. Jcnes'
views.

of July 25. After the accident the Schulz
wore around on the port tack until day

Describing the vessel which ran the
Schulz down, Capt. Clark said she was
loaded three-master, and was apparently
bound North. He does not know whether
the watch on the stranger saw the Schulz,
Notwithstanding the proper lights were
displayed on the latter vessel.
The damage to the Schulz as result
of the collision was the carrying away Of
a lifeboat and starboard davit, part of
taffrail, and patent log and its gear. At
ter the clash Capt. Clark hauled down
jib and flying jib, and bore to on the
starboard tack for an hour, then wore
around on port tack until morning. but

Around the Horn to Frisco in fifty-five
days is the programme mapped out for

In future the little vessel will be used
in the waters OF the Golden Gate.

been made before. The risk is enormous,
even for an ocean goer" like the l.. Luck

men, however, were finally signed, the
last one yesterday afternoon.
As far as could be learned from various
towboat owners, only three or four tugs
have ever made this trip. The best record
up to date is that of the G.. W. Pride,
which went around eight years ago In
sixty-three days Between 1890 and 1899
two other tugs accomplished the feat, both
of them taking a great while, and having
many mishaps At present the United
States government tug Slocum is on her
way to the Pacific coast, and little I'M

the largest and most seaworthy boats Of
her class.
