FIRE IN PARoCHIAL HOUSE.
"A Less of s2oooo-Priests Had to Leave Burning Home Hurriedly.


 Meriden, Jan 29.-A loss approxi- mating $20,O00 was caused by the fire which partly burned the parochial res idence belonging to St Roses Roman Catholic church this morning. The building, which was of brick, three stories high, was badly burned on the second and third floors, while the first floor was damaged by water. The loss on the building is estimated at $S.000, and the damage to the furnish tngs. including valuable library, will reach S12000. Insurance will cover most of the loss.
 The origin of the blaze is mystery, as the building is heated by steam supplied by pipes from an outside plant, and there were no electric wires in it. There was stove in the kitchen. but there was no fire in 1t last night. All the occupants of the house. including Rector. John Cooney, and the assistant priests. Rev James Conlan and Rev Lawrence Gninan, were asleep when the fire was discov- cred by man who was passing. They were obliged to make their exit hur- riedly and saved very few of their personal effects
 The parish house was built about 20 years ago during the pastorate of Rev Thomas Walsh, V. G.

News reaches here tonight from
Aiken, S. G, that Deputy Sheriff
All of Aiken county, 5. G., was
killed last night by the desperate
Johnson, Alias Jetfcoat, who,
four months ago, killed a man
named Wilson at Herndon, Ga.
and on July Is, killed Deputy
Sheriff Joe Flanders, who tried to-
arrest him near Midwife, Ga. At
ter the murder of Deputy Elan
ders, Jeffcoat escaped into Ogee
chez river swamp. He was next
heard OF in Aiken county, S. c..
few days ago. Deputy Sheriff
Chester All located him, and with
posse went to arrest him. AS
the party rode to the house where
Jeffcoat was stopping he opened
by the people of the several
States, reciprocity with Cuba, as
against Republican 80 per cent.
specious reciprocity and the main
tenance of the personal liberty of
the citizens. These are issues,
among others, upon which there
is no division of sentiment nong
Democrats and upon which all
can unite, North, South, Eas. and
West. That the Democracy of
the whole country may be united
In the great contests which await
us, and that Democratic princi
Pies may be once more triump-

horse stealing and when he got too
close for the welfare of the fuoi-

shot him. The criminal then
crossed the river to Aiken county

Meeting Of the State Farmers
Alliance.
Annual Address of President Mr..
Etird Takes Optimistic Views
of the Future of the Or

to " ork.
The State, 9th inst.

The State alliance, the organiza-
ton ,ofwhich so much was heard
few years back, particularly iu
campaign years, is still alive and
doing we'll according to President
Efrd. and he does not think that
its days of usefulness are over.
The organization met in Columbia
last night and begun its annual
session, reaching u final adjourn
ment about midnight. There were
IA of the forty-odd counties in the
State represented at the gather.
ing. The body met in the State
supreme court room.
AT the opening of the session
President d. f. E6rd of Lexing-
ton presented his annual report
as follows.
Brethren:We have assembled to
hold the fifteenth annual meeting
of the Farmers Alliance of South
Carolina.
One year ago plan was for
mulated looking to the arousing
of new interest In our order. A
committee was appointed consist
ing of Brother b. C.~Lyles. chair
man of tho Alliance exchange fund,
Brother w. \. Elder, lecturer,
and myself We selected Broth,
er j c. Wilbourn, reorganlzer.
We issued Il circular entitled ga
Real Necessily,' which we distri-
buted over the State Upon in
vitation we visited Lancaster, two
points in Union, Laurens and sew
eral points in Spartanburg. What
we have accomplished by our work
let the evidence here answer.
we nave II counties here rep
resented. Our enemies have from
time to time given notice of our
death, and rejoiced over the pre-
dicticn Of our burial.
We have stood as a national
organization for II years and IN
this State Is years, battling for
the rights of the oppressed. New
conditions today confront us in
the south. Labor and capital
should 60 hand in hand, there need
be no clash between them. Strikes
are more universal than ever In
our history;..like wars of times q
necessity. When the "dollar" is
placed above the man labor asserts
her power The Transfers strike
of Chicago almost famished city
of plenty. The Freight Handlers
union gong out on a strike has
cost that city alone 81, 900, ,OOG a
day The miners strike in the
hard coal fields of the northwest
is assuming alarming proportions.
We hear of labor troubles in every
quarter. Labor contending for
her rights against organized capi.
tai.
This historic city has felt the
influence of organized labor in her
workshops and cotton mills. Even
the newsboys here asked for their
rights through organization.
Our fight is along different limos.
! call Your attention to these
few cases to show you that we can
win if we but stand together. We
have accomplished much and have
much yet to do. Our demands
have not stopped within the walls
of our meeting places, but have
been made issues in the halls of
State and nation. We have educated
the people as no other organiza-
ton has done. We have come
