PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT

Walter Wellman, the widely known Washing
ton newspaper correspondent and explorer, is the
daring man who expects to .surpass the widest
flights of Jules Vernes fancy by sailing to the
north pole and back in an airship. He is one of
the most talked of men in the country to-day.
Wellman is not the first to attempt the finding
of the pole by the aerial route Andree the famous,
SWede explorer, tried it with huge gas bag. He
was never heard from afterward. However, Mr..
Wellman is not daunted by the failure of Andree's
plan but declares he will have the advantage of
the dirigible balloon, an invention unheard of
when Andree made his flight

DOOMED FOR PRESIDENT

1t has frequently been suggested that as the
south furnishes the greater portion of the Demo,
cratic vote, the next candidate of that party for
president should be southerner.
Recent events have given Gov. Robert B. Glenn
of North Carolina much prominence that many
in his section have begun to boom him as the COM
ing national standard-bearer of the Democracy,
although the governor himself disclaims any ambi-
ton for that honor
Gov Glenn set himself in what appeared to be
attitude of opposition to federal authority after
United States Judge Pritchard had interviewed to
prevent the enforcement of an oppressive new
state law requiring, under confiscatory penalties
the railroads of the Tarheel state to make a max
imum passenger rate of not more than 2K cents

BROKER MURDERED
By A CUSTOMER
Who Had Figured That He Would
Shortly be Worth 100000.

New York, Dec. 20.-James II. Oil
phant, senior member of the stock ex-
change firm of James II. Oliphant and
20. died tonight from bullet wound
inflicted at his office this afternoon
by Charles A. Geiger. customer from
Beaufort, $. C, who after firing on
Oliphant, killed himself.
The men were closeted in Oliphant's
private office at the time. All that is
known of what occurred Immediately
preceding the shooting was learned
from the lips of the dying broker.
Oliphant said that his refusal to ex-
tend further credit to Geiger, caused
the tragedy. There is reason to believe
however that Geiger had become men,
tally irresponsible. 4 note book found
upon his person contained a computa-
ton by which the writer had apparent

WOMAN SHOT HERSELF
PROBABLY FATALLY
A Rather Mysterious Incident That
Might Have Been Accident or At
tempted Suicide.

Margaret Logan. an unmarried wo-
man. half negro and half Mexican.
shot herself about 4 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon, il is believed fatally.
Though the act may have been with
suicidal intent the police are inclined
TO the theory OF accident The bullet
of a A calibre revolver entered her
left breast. passed through her left
lung. clear through her body. through
: bedstead and through the side Of the
board house. which was as far as IL
could be traced.
Margaret Logan lived with her
mother on South Second street. be-
tween jackson and Buchanan. Thurs
day night she Quarreled with her
mother and went TO the house OF Jesus
Saragosa. nearby. where it is supposed
she spent the night. Yesterday morn
ing Jesus and friend went away
early on d hunting expedition. About
4 o'clock in the afternoon woman
neighbor heard the shot and the eX-
ciamation of the victim, I'm killed;
I'm killed" Too badly frightened TO
enter the house. or through fear of be-
coming complicated with an unpleas-
ant case, the neigiIbor woman did not
90 10 the injured woman's assistance
directly but ran 10 the wood yard and
telephoned the office of the city mar
shall. Marshal Moore responded at
once and as soon as he saw what had
happened. and found the woman lying
on a bed. grooming. he called DR.. Beau
champ by telephone. then proceeded TO
help make the patient as comfortable
as possible. .-.--.-
Miss Logan was able TO talk but lit
lie after the arrival OF the officer, not
sufficient TO tell what had happened. in
an intelligent way There was no evil
dence of any other party having been
present with whom she might have
auarreled. nor did the immediate cir
cumstances or her conduct suggest
suicide. She was dressed and had evil
IDENTIFY been sitting on the side of the
bed. and fell over backward after the
shooting IL is the theory of the mar
shall that the woman merely saw the
weapon in the room and picked II up
from curiosity rather than for any 9TH
or reason. possibly not believing il to
be loaded and not knowing enough
about a gun TO be careful or TO be
afraid of il. and that in her eXami-
nation or playfulness. it was accident
ally discharged
Last evening it was announced that
she would doubtless die. as there
seemed To be no chance for her re-
covery. but at late hour last night
she was reported TO be resting easily
and sleeping. and it may be that like
many unexpected cases. she will fool
the medical men and get well.

Editor National Tribune: 1t is exc
ceedingly funny to see what differ
ence there is in the stories told by tho
old boys who were at Tebb's Bend, on
Green River, KY, July 4, 1868. AS they
cannot all be right, some must be
wrong One says Morgan'S men crose
below the river. others say above. 9TH
ers that he crost on the bridge, and yet
others that there was no bridge there,
etc.
I, with my regiment, the 50th Ohio.
and regiment or more of cavalry, had
been following Uncle Johnny Morgan
for several days, hardly giving his men
time to visit the farmers hen roosts,
and were in high hope We might over,
haul him at Green River. But, alas!
the old fellow was entirely too sharp
to be caught In that kind of trap. for
we were in the best of trim for fight.
Our daily rations consisted of hand
full of meal, with a bit of beef, mutton
or hog, If we could catch 1t on the sly,
and for dessert few blackberries, if we
could get in the fields without the Off
GERS hallooing themselves hoarse, Get
out of that blackberry patchi" etc. We
gave Col Hobson, commanding brigade,
the name of "Old Ash Cake" because
when we were complaining of our
scanty rations he said ash cakes were
boards or anything we could get to save
even a speck.
We didn't catch Uncle Johnny at
Green River, but he was caught later
on while I was lying in Holston Hospf-
tai nursing a wound 1 received near
Atlanta. Ga, July 81, 1864 As for
myself, don't remember anything par
ticular about Green River. We con-
tinued our march on to Louisville.
There we drew a few rations, and one
morning on our way back we drew
some bacon, and our Orderly called to
the Adjutant for six men. The Adju-
tant asked him what he wanted six
men for. and the Orderly replied, TO
keep the shippers from carrying off the
