SHOOTS SELF ACCIDENTALLY.
MiIIard Pinson, of LAGRANGE, Wounded
by Pistol Ball.


LAGRANGE, Ga, May 16.-Millard
Pinson accidentally shot himself at
his boarding house while unbreeching
his pistol. The ball entered just above
the heart and penetrated his left lung,
making a dangerous, If not mortal,
wound
S. II. Dunson, who occupies the
same room with Mr.. Pinson at NJ. L.
Fleming's boarding house, was present
at the time the accident occurred and
was the first to render assistance to
the wounded man.
Dr. Frank Ridley was summoned
and Immediately began probing for
the bullet. He reports young Pinson
to be in a very precarious condition
and it is impossible TO predict the re-
suit, as complications may easily set
in which will render the wound a ia
tai one.
Mr.. Pinson is from Newman, where
his family now live He has been
working for some time as bookkeeper
in the store of E. l.. BradfelG, Of this

TRIED TO OCCUPY LAVELA.
Castro Sent Large Force of Troops to
 Occupy the Town.

Wiliemsted. Island of Curacao, June B. -Advices received here from Venezuela under date of June 20, says President Castro recently tried to occupy bavela (on the Gulf of Coro). He sent General Golmenarez, with a large force of troops to attack the town by sea. hoping that General Ayata would assist by land and catch the revolutionists who are there commanded by General Riera, General Matos, first lieutenant between two fires. But for unknown reasons there was no assistance by land and General Colmen- arez, after three hours fighting, was com pelled to re-embark his troops and aban- don the attack.
 During the morning of June 20 General Riera left Lavela with 15oo men and att tackled Coro, the capital of the State of Falcon, nine miles distant. After five hours battle General Ayamel, first vice. president of the republic and commander of Castro's army and General Telleria, president of the State of Falcon, seven teen generals and forty-five colonels sur rendered with five guns and 1862 men.
 The moral effect of this victory Is in- calculable on all the country as Presi- dent Castro lately reported In bulletins that General Riera was flying with only ten followers.

CONFERENCE REACHES
 UNANIMOUS ACRE MENT
Hepburn Reports to the House That All of House Bill Is Eliminated
 and Spooner Bill Accepted.

Washington, June 25-The conference and unanimous agreement at 2:35 o'clock today in favor of accepting the Senate amendment. which contemplates the building of the Panama canal if the Pres ident can secure clear title to the route. The final conference lasted only half an hour. Before the decision was reached MT. Hepburn, on behalf of the House conferees. endeavored to secure a modification of the Sena,e amendment limiting the President to within six months wherein the title of the Panama route is to be perfected. When this failed MT. Hepburn made no further opposition. and the Senate amendment was concurred in exactly the form that it passed the Senate. It was arranged that a brief st atement should be prepared for presen- tation to the Senate and House and the conferees separated. Mir. Hepburn intend- ed to submit the results to the House this afternoon in order that the confer ence agreement might be ratified, thus bringing to final termination the legis- lation on this important project.
 Later MT. Hepburn submitted the fol- lowing statement to the House:
 The effect of the action of the con- ferees. If approved by the House. will be to eliminate all the proTis:ons of the bill as passed by the house. and enacts into legislation all of the provisions of the Senate amendment"
 MT. Hepburn will call up the bill for final action tomorrow.

 FLIMFLAMMED BY AGENTS
Unless Panama Company Can Give an Undlsputed Title He Will Select NIcaragua-Depends On MT.
 Morgan for Advice.
BY wATTERsoN sTEALEY.

Washington, June 25.-(Special. 1.-The advocates of the Nicaragua canal feel satisfied that the French Panama Com pany will not be able to give a satlstao- tory title to their property and sooner or later under the provisions of the canal bill, which will shortly become law. will have all opportunity tp open iego- tiations for the -,-caragua route. It Is reported here on apparently relinbls au- thority that the President Is inclined to favor the Nicaragua route as an cIis- inal proposition.
 The importance of this, if true Is that there will oa no great delay and the President will not allow himself to bs, himfammed by the Frenon company. Unless 1t has an undisputrd title the in- dications at present are thas the execu- tive will not hesitate to .urn down the French company.
 Senator Morgan has recently held scv- eral interviews with the President He declines to discuss their nature, but 1t Is known the President largely depends upon the advice of the Alabama Senator and during the progress of negotiations will constantly consult him.
 The fact that Senator Morgan has ad- Vised his House friends to accept with out resistance the Senate bill Is signif- cant. He has not changed his views. and believes the Nicaragua canal will yet be built.

New Ycfk, June 25.-In the event of the des tn of King Edward VII the insurance companies of England will suffer the rc"st staggering blow known in the his- tory of that branch of financial invest meut.
 It will cause loss of tens of millions of dollars to the regularly organized fife in surance compenies alone. much er eater loss will fall upon companies of various other kinds, which have taken heavy risks on the Kings life at high rates of interest.

 Governor on Fusion Ticket
HARMONY IN BOTH PARTIES
Delegates Worked All Night, But Could Not Reach an Agreement Until After Breakfast-Bryan
 Pleased With Outlook.

Grand Island, Neb.. lure 2,-After session the Democrotio-Populist state convention completed a fusion ticket at 3 o'clock today, with Democrat at It's head. Five places on the ticket were al- lotted to the populists and three to the Democrats. They were follows:
 Governor-w. H. Thompson of Grand Island.
 Lieutenant Governor-w, A. Gilbert Populist. York.
 Secretary of State-John H. Powers, I'opulist, Hitchcock County.
 Attorney Generally. H. Broody, Dem ocrat, Lincoln
 Commissioner of Public Lands and 3uildefs-Jomes c. Brennan, Democrat, Omaha.
 Made Unanimous.
 The nomination of Thompson by the Populists came on the tenth ballot when he received two-thirds of the votes cast.
 The nomination was then made unani- nous. Thompson had already been nom- mated by the Democrats and the action of the populist convention completed the nomination. Conference committees at orce got to work on the rest of the ticket. The Populists were given their first choice of the remainder of the candidates. At o'clock the fusion convention went to breakfast without securing nomina- ton for Governor and with the prospects for fusion still in doubt.
 Each of the conventions had selected a nominee for Governor during the night the Populsts naming M. F. Harrington of Holt county and the Democrats selecting c. J. Srnyth of Omaha.
 Both conventions began to ballot on these names and entered into the dead lock which lasted until o'clock this morning.
 At that hour William J. Bryan was nominated by the Populists by acclima- tion and the Democratic convention nom- mated Mir Smyth, when MT. Smyth ap- peared before the Democratic convention and announced that fusion with himself AS nominee seemed impossible and offer ing to withdraw.
 At the same time MT. Harrington an- nounced his withdrawal
 Bryan Could Not Accept.
 MT. Bryan thanked the convention for the honor, but said he could not accept the nomination for reasons already clear to the public He made a plea for har- mony and for fusion.
 Five different men received the unani- nous nomination of one or the other con- ventions but both bodies finally agreed on one man. After adjournment had been taken w. J. Bryan expressed himself pleased with the successful accomplish ment of fusion, saying he would lend his entire effort to support of the ticket
