He was born near White Hall, New York, thence moved to Illinois and had lived in his present home about 30 years. He was married twice, his firsts wife being Mary Aun Bell, of Quincy, Ills., who passed to thegreat beyond some seventeen years ago. To this union were born ninechildren of whom seven are living, one died in infancy and a son, Everettson, eight years ago.

Jackson, Miss., Aug. 4.—Congress- mad Jobn Sharp Williams was given the Democratic nomination for the United States Senate by a vote that overwhelmed his opponent, Gov. Jas, K. Vardaman. His plurality is now estimated at 15,000, and several counties in which he stands practically alone as the people’s choice have not been heard from. It may be said that the entire Dem- ocratic vote of the state was polled. Tt was almost exclusively white. ‘rhe negro ballot was like a drop of water fn the ocean, for he is surrounded with such restrictions here that his franchise amounts to little more than nothing. It would not be amieas to state that there fs no negro vote tn thie commonwealth. Williams and Vardaman made a picturesque campaign. The heat with which {t was waged surpassed all such contests heretofore under- takenin the south. It progressed for weeks, each candidate making from one to four speeches a day. At the conclusion of the battle both were exhausted and lay back to await the outcome of thelr efforts. Betore election day the contest had resolved itself, a white-haired adher- ent of Williams remarked, intoa fight of “brains against ha’r,” This | something to live for brighter than veteran of many political ¢campatgas this world.

Since then it has been the general custom to fine persons convicted of running gambling games. As long as the oldest {nhabi- tant can remember there has always been more or less gambling in Jeff- erson City and big stakes have been lost and won. Occasionally persons running these games have been tak- en into court and fined, and then the gambling would go on as usual. J. F. McGee had a wide acquaintance among the sporting fraternity of Ss.

Yenawine, formerly state fish com- missioner, and asks him to set the time place and weapons. The challenge is the outcome of a bitter feeling between the two men over charges preferred against a policeman by Moran. The officer was censured by the police board for cursing Moran one night last winter. Daring the hearing of the charges Yenawine made the statoment that Moran was drunk at the time and the long-haired ex-senator called him aliar. A disgraceful fight then took place which ended by Moran being locked in the holdover by Chief Frans. He got the worst of the en- counter and then felt that his honor had been insulted and the calengp to Yenawine followed. Not content with this Moran is said to be preparing charges against Chiet Frans, and to be getting ready to sue the newspapers that wrote up the Investigation. Ghost of Negro Haunted Sheriff.
