George. Congressman H. D. Money was nominated last night at Jackson, Miss., by the joint democratic caucus, on the twentieth ballot, as United States Senator, to succeed J. Z. George. The vote stood: Money, 84; Lowry, 36; Allen, 36; Hooker, 3; Yerger, 1. Neces- sary for a cholce, Sl. 1 The nomination was then made unani- mous. In response to the cheering, Mr. Money was escorted to the speaker’s stand and made a patriotic speech. Hernando De Soto Money, who will suc- ceed Gen. J. Z. George in the United States Senate, was born in Holmes county, Miss., August 26, 1839. He is an alumnus of the law school, and was a student in the literary department of the University of Mississippi. Col. Money was a mem- ber of the Forty-fourth, Forty-fifth, For- ty-sixth, Forty-seventh and Forty-eighth Congresses, and served with distinction in the Hose of Representatives, when he de- clined a re-election. He then opened an office in this city with Judge Freeman. In 1892 he re-entered politics and was again elected to Congress, defeating Frank Burk- ett, the populist candidate, by an over- whelming majority.. He was again re- elected in 1894, and is now a member of the Fifty-fourth Congress. Col. Money will take his seat in the Unit- ed States Senate March 4, 1899. Balloting at Frankfort, Ky. There was an attendance of 186 at the jcint balloting of the Kentucky legislature for United Senator yesterday, Burman and Force being paired, and did not vote. Populist Poor changed from Hunter ¢o Bate. This left the vote otherwise the same as Wednesday, except that the scat- tering democratic vote was McCreary, 8; Carlisle, 4, and Buckner, 2. Poor’s change to Bate is only temporary, as he knew there could not be any success- ful result. The changes in the vote of the anti-Blackburn democrats were complimen- tary. Messrs. Hickman and Violett changed from McCreary to Carlisle. ——__+e+-____ Expenditures of the District.

WILD ENTHUSIASM FRR: PERRY CARSON General Dispoutigtt Saunders With ‘Carson. CHARACTERISTIC SCENES A number of colorei. republicans of the fifteenth district held a Carson meoting last night in the barber shop at fhe corner of D street and New Jersey avenue northwest. ‘The assembly was presided over by 8. Has- kins, with Walter Tate as secretary. It was a small gathering, put perfect order was maintained. The speeches were sen- sible and to the point, and the meeting adopted a resolution favoring the candi- dacy of Carson, with the understanding that the second man on the ticket and the two alternates shall be selected after a meeting of Mr. Carson’s advisers today. T. J. Clayton made a speech in favor of Carson that Impfessed the meeting. He said Carson worked for the republican party and stuck close to his race, and for those two reasons alone he should be sup- ported by every negro in the District. The fact that Carson did not have a collegiate education was no har to his candidacy, because Carson is a born leader of men, and that is what is needed in this cuse, Mr. Clayton also favored i, M. Saunders as Carson's assuciate on the ticket. H. A. Clark also made a telling speech, in which he spoke of Carson work for the benefit of tne race. He said that Car- son’s endeavors had been of a philanthropic nature and had redounded to the advantage of his fellow negroes rather than to his own personal aggrandizement. Mr. Clark said the meetings now being held in the city are giving a black eye to suffrage. How- ever, while some of them had heen dis- Braceful, others have entertained speakers who would be a credit to the Senate of the United States, and it was a pity that more space in the public press was not given to this class of speakers. Mr. Clark caution- ed the colored people to be upun their good behavior in this struggle for! suffrage and said thet the eyes of the nation are upon the negroes of the natibnal capital, for here is the bone, sinew ani heart of the progress of the race. Plea for Temperance. W. F. Finley spoke in eulogistic strain of Carson. He sald he had done more for the negro cause than uny other man. af- ter telling how Carson had stuck to his peuple for thirty ycars and describing his record as a friend of the slave before the war, Mr. Finley contrasted his record to that of the other cand‘dates with bitter sar- casm. He entreaied his hearers when re- ferring to one candidate tot to send a bar- keeper to represent the ¢olored people of the District of Columbia,a, man, he said, who sold poison to the young men and wo- mea of his own race that ut them into Sail and penitentiary or toad them down with disgrace. He alsg touched up the records of some of the other candidates in no gentle vein. A. P. Hall made a speegh in favor of W. F. Thomas for alternate, and advocated sending Carson and Gleesort as delegates. J. W. Coles spoke enthhsiastically in fa- vor of Carson, saying that he knows the politics of his country and {s acquainted with the greatest politicians in the party. Edward Odom made % rousing speech. He advocated sending a genuine negro ds long as a colored man is to be selected, and said that Carson was the only true negro in the field. He roasted2Candidate Balley over a slow fire. He saidBailey for the last thirty years had heen engaged in amassing a fortune, keeping entirely out of touch with his race, and then when he concluded to go into politics'his first break had been into the democratic. party. First 2 Democrat. Bailey belonged to a Cleveland club, he said, and donated the first dollar to the Cleveland campaign fund. Then because Bailey had been turnededown for recorder of deeds he jumped into the republican party while the democratic collar was still warm on his neck. Mr. Odom went for Can- didates Key and Holland in a vigorous way. He said that during President Har- rison’s administration when ex-Senator Kellogg charged that the President was not doing his duty to keep down lynchings in the south, Messrs. Holland, Bruce and Lynch, being at that time in fat govern- ment offices, spread out thelr hands in deprecating fashion and said that the ne- groes of the south were satisfied. Mr. Townsend in the general land office knew better, however, and said so, whereupon he was promptly dismissed. “And I was fired from the Post Office Department about the same time for in- dorsing Townsend's statement,” said Mr. Finley. J. H. Richardson, in a few words, in- dorsed the remarks of the other speakers and the meeting came to an end. Meeting in Bladgen’s Alley. Zion Mission, a little, lamp-lighted room in Blagden’s alley, was filled last evening by fifty or more members of the Thirteenth District Club, No. 2, a colored organization which, until last evening, was a staunch Carson and Parker association. But now, because of resolutions adopted last even- ing, the withdrawal of Col. Parker having been duly announced, it is a Carson and Saunders Club. It was announced that the following officers of the club had been duly elected, and that each and every one of them had qualified:. President, Geo. W. Ball; vice president, Samuel Harris; secretary, Charles Green; assistant secre- tary, J. E. Grammer; treasurer, R. H. Parker, and sergeant-at-arms, Henry Smith. Upon calling the meeting to order, Mr. Ball invited one of the members to invoke the divine blessing. That struck some of the young men as being something unnatu- ral and uncalled-for, perhaps, and they giggled and nudged one another as the simple, reverent prayer was made, although they were indignantly rapped to order. The same young men made merry, as the secretary, in the uncertain light, laborious- ly struggled. through the minutes of the previous meeting. The chair explaned that Col. Carson having lost his running mate by the withdrawal of Col. Parker, it was necessary to supply him with another, the race being a double-team event. Mr. Lorin M. Saunders had been the white candidate selected by the caucus as such, ‘And now,” remarked the chair, “I’d like some gentle- man in the house, if he wants to, to put Mr. Saunders in nomination,” “Who's dis hyah Mistah Saunders, de gemmen dat yo’ ’fers to?” inquired a mem- ber. i. “I'll tell you,” replied the: chair. “He's @ man, a republican, who never let a color- ed man go 'way from his deorempty. Now, don’t think I’m losing sight of old Perry Carson, for we ain’t going to do that. We all know him too well: eee f Enter Josh Gre; en. “Dat we does, an’ yo’ cantt lose ole Perry,” said a man tn the corner, who'vigorously ex- plained that he was “ole Josh Green, gem- men. Alwus at yo’ sarvice, sab.” When Mr. Green had subsided, the chair further explained that it was absolutely necessary for the club to select a white can- didate as Col. Carson’s running mate, and, while he did not wish to c: ‘Mr. Saunders down their mouths, the editt had gone forth that he was to have that honor. “I was at Mr. Saunders’ office today,” explained the chair, ‘and he told me to tell you on the word of a gentleman that if this club in- dorsed him tonight, not a member of it would be forgotten next Tuesday. Now, I suppose you all know what that means, and I don’t need to say anything more.” The chairman’s assurance was enough, and Mr. Saunders was duly indorsed. “Now, that’s all settled,” continued the president, “and I hope you all will behave yourselves here tonight. You see this Star reporter over here in the corner. Well, he’s watch- ing and listening, and I hope that you all will not forget yourselves, so that he can say something nice about us tomorrow, and not be obli; to say, if we are 'way in an alley, that we are nothing but a lot of razor carriers.” The chair then informed the meeting that any one present might say a few words. ‘This was the opportunity Mr. Josh Green had anxiously awaited, and, while the presi- dent’s reluctance to recognize him was not |, Mr. Green did not let a little thing disguised, ike that bother him, and he, not unsteadily, MiWhar dees wiedes ‘come trom, : loes m co! - inquired Mr. Green. eProm de fawa Gawd, don’t it? , itdo. An’ I’se got it tonight, for I done asked de Lawd fur it today, an’ He ain't furgot me, An’ dat dere Misteh Star reporter needn’t go thinkin’ he’s goin’ to a monkey out of ole Josh Green, fur de Lawd made me long 'go. Me an’ ole Pair’ Cyahson jes’ ‘like, gemmen. Nuther one of us hed de chances of dese hyah monkey-dressed-nigger dudes dat you sees roun’ yo’. But ef we is ignurunt, me an’ ole Pair’ Cyahson'’s got sense nuff to keep de beg’ of ’em a-guessin’. Dat’s all dere is to dat, an’. ” But certain members of the club just then intimated that Mr. Green had said quite enough, and he indignantly relinquished the floor. Several members in the rear sought to obtain it, and some confusion ensued. “Now, be decent,” implored the chair. “Act lke you've got some sense, and Mr. Ser- geant-at-arms, put that man out, if he don’t keep quiet.” The gentleman referred to loudly started to sing “John Brown's Body Lies A-moldering in the Grave,” when the sergeant-at-arms, rushing at him, quieted bim by savagely remarking: “Th’ fust thing you krow, man, dere’ll be a John Brown a-moldering out in dis hyah alley, an’ he won't walk out, nuther.”” Prof. Strothers’ Speech. Order again reigned, when Prof. Strothers addressed the meeting. “I hear dat in dese hyah crocus meetin’s dey is sayin’ dat ole Pair’ Cyahson ain’t fit to be a candidate be- cause he ain’t got any education.g But is you got it? Is I got it? No, sah, we isn’t got it, an’ ef dat is to stop ole Pair, it's goin’ to stop all us people. Is you goin’ to stan’ Gat? Ef you is, what in de name of Gawd is goin’ to become of you, I don't know. But, you ain't goin’ to stan’ it, fur you is goin’ to sen’ ole Pair’ as sure as nex’ Chuseday comes. Why is you? ’Cause he’s de onliest man dat’s fit fur you, an’ de onli- est man ’mongst dese hyah candidates dat’s alwus stood up fur his race.’ The applause which greeted Prof. Stroth- ers conclusively showed that he voiced the sentiments of the meeting, and after the chair had announced the appointment of thirty members to assist in distributing ballots and prevent repeating at the pri- maries next Tuesday, Mr. Albert Smith was recognized. “I praises de bridge dat carries me over, sah,” said Mr. Smith, “an’ Col. Perry Carson bein’ de bridge dat has carried me an’ you over many a time, sah, I say dat unto him is de praises of dis hyah meetin’. As fur Mistah Sa’nders, I doesn’t know de gem- men, but ef he’s good ’nuff fur Col. Perry Carson, gah, I say dat he is good ’nuff fur de res’ of us. Dat's all I has to say, sah.” A Good Bear Story. Mr. Wyatt Hernden was prevailed upon to say something, and said that he was re- minded of the old colored man who met a bear in the woods ene day. “De ole man, he didn’t have a gun or nuthin’,” ex- plained Mr. Herndon, “an’ as Mr. B'ar come fur him, de ole man lif’ his voice up an’ say, ‘Oh, Lawd, I prays dat you'll help me; but, oh, Lawd, ef you can’t help me, fur de Lawd’s sake, don’t help dat b’ar.’ So, I say, gemmen, ef you can't help ole Perry, fur Gawd’s sake, don’t help de one’s agin ti! Mr. Herndon’s story tickled the audience immensely, and then Mr. Edward Odom “spoke a few words”’ upon the invitation of the chairman.* He praised Col. Carson to the skies, saying: “You know dat he never gives 'way our passwords, but we hev lots of Judases ’mongst us dat do. They say he ain’t got education, but he’s got a good deal mo’en Bailey an’ Keys, an’ as fur Lawyer Holland, jes’ iemme give you dis advice: When you gits in de Police Court, save your money fur to pay your fines. Don’t go pay it to them nigger law- yers, fur you is goin’ to be convicted, an’ you'll want your money fur to pay your fines. Mr. Holland says dat I isn’t any- thing but a shoemaker. So I is, an’ mighty glad of it. But ef I wasn’t a better shoe- maker den he is a lawyer, I'd cut my throat. All dese other candidates say dat you kin be bought. I don’t b'lieve it, but I does know dat your franchise was taken *way from you hyah ‘cause the white folks said dat de man dat hed de most money got de most of your votes.” Mr. Josh Green again reasserted himself, having visited meantime an adjacent re- freshment booth, exclaiming that he was hot stuff and not to be put down. In that he was greatly mistaken, however, for al- most before he was aware of it, the chair- man hustled him out into the alley, re- marking that he would have order even if the absence of Mr. Green was necessary to secure it. Mr. Green was kept out, and then, after a few more speeches in favor of the ticket, the meeting adjourned: A Hillsdale Mecting. Despite the very heavy rain which pre- vailed last evening, Dou ss Hall at Hills- dale was filled to oveiflowing with the colored republicans of the first legislative district, who had assembled to hear the virtues of Key and Gleeson extolled and their claims demonstrated as proper per- sons to be sent as delegates to the national republican convention. Those having charge of the meeting were Edward Winfield, who presided; Thomas J. Scott, vice president; John Roberts, secretary; Heyson Bussie, treasurer; J. Sullivan, essistant secretary; Henry James, sergeant-at-arms, the latter being assisted by W. B. Sims, W. H. West, W. H. Underdue and Charles H. Bruce. Moss Fails to Score. The proceedings were conducted with the greatest harmony until Lawyer John A. Moss, an adherent of Col. Perry Carson, undertook to carry the meeting over to his man, but this action of Moss was antici- pated and preparations made to counter- act the effect. So when Mr. Moss began to give his reasons why Carson was to be pre- ferred to Key the friends of the latter united in a howl, which not only prevented Moss’ words from being heard, but had. such a discouraging effect upon him that he decided to remain quiet during the rest of his stay in the hall. ree be Mr. Smith Speaks for Key. Mr. C. C. Smith said he thought Mr. Key ought to be sent to the St. Louis con- vention because he is a business man and not a wire-pulling politician. Again the speaker claimed he was like Lincoln in his early days, for Mr. Key studied men and events more than books. From boyhood, he said, Key has been a hard worker, not a drone in the political hive. Mr. Key is pledged, continued the speaker, to work for the overthrow of the triumvirate of the District Commission- ers, a form of government at the capital of the great 'republic of freedom which, he asserted, is worse than any petty tyranny in_czar-ridden Russia. If Mr. Key shall be sent to the conven- tion he will go there, said Mt. Smith, as a true representative of the republicans of* the District. He will have no personal axes to.grind at the convention. He is anxious to spend his time and money for the oppressed, misrepresented people of Washington, and his desire to be a dele- gate is for the public weal. The remarks of Mr. Smith were received with great applause. Key and Saunders Indorsed. Mr. Thomas L. Jones, who Is regarded as one of Col. Saunders’ principal spokesmen, was given a great ovation and made a rous- ing speech, which was mainly devoted to showing that Col. Saunders would be a bet- ter representative of the interests of his hearers if sent to St. Louis than would Mr. Gleeson. Mr. Jones dwelt particularly on the aid that had been given by the pa- rents of his candidate to runaway slaves in the ante-war period, and also by Col. Saun- ders, as shown by his war record. Mr. Jones’ speech was so effective that before adjournment a resolution was passed in- Sorsing Key and Saunders for the conven- jon. Mr. Robert H. Key also made an address, in which he assured his audience that every pledge made by him during the cam- paign shall, if he is elected, be carried out to the letter. Others who spoke were Charles E. Bruce, Harry Smith and J. R. Evans. Mr. W. F. Thomas was indorsed for al- ternate delegate. ee Changes of Stations. A number of important changes have been made in the stations of officers of the quartermaster’s department. Major J. B. Furey at St. Paul goes to Philadelphia, relieving Colonel A. F. Rockwell, who is granted six months’ leave of absence, with permission to leave the United States. Major John Simpson at Philadelphia gocs to St. Paul, and Major C. A. H. McCauley at Portland, Oreg., goes to Philadelphia. Major J. W. Jacobs, depot quartermaster in this city, goes to Portland, Oreg., and Major C. Humphreys at Omaha, Neb., is ordered to duty at Washington, D. 0. Major D. D. Wheeler is made chief quar- termaster of the Department of the Platte, with station at Omaha. WILLING- TO TRADE North Carolina Republicans Would Give a Senator for a Governor. DEMOCRATS DIVIDED OVER MONEY Fusion or Co-operation the Issue of the Hour. POLITICAL QUIET PREVAILS Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. RALEIGH, N. C., January 22, 1896. There are sixteen members of the re- pulJidan stat executive committee. A member assures The Star correspondent that all the sixteen are bimetallists, and that all the other republicans in the state are of the same way of thinking. If this be true, there is quite a change of view in a few months, or even weeks. The mem- ber also says that the sixteen are for fusion or co-operation with the populists, and that only Chairman Holton opposes this step; that the chairman has no vote, is a figurehead and is sure to be whipped into line; that fusion is an absolute cer- tainty; that eleven of the sixteen members are for Daniel L. Russell for governor; that three are for Oliver H. Dockery and two for James B. Boyd. But the member who says these things is an original fusion- ist and a most earnest supporter of Rus- sell, so, perhaps, it is well to take his statement with several grains of salt. There are suspicious populists, who scent afar some scheme to sell them out to the republicans. They fear, or say they fear, “trades” of some kind. They say the re: publicans arrogate too much to themselves, and they hint, without saying, that the odds are against fusion, or co-operation, and that certainly no man can yel say wheiher it will be brought about. Democrats Torn to Pieces. The demoerats are torn to pieces in this state by the gold and silver question, and the news which filters through from Wash- ington is that the party ts equally racked there, certainly so far as Congress is con- cerned. And yet the political quietness is absolutely amazing. Nothing like it was ever known in a campaign year. Nobody knows, or appears to know, what to say or do. The populists cannot yet see what is to happen; the republicans, while they be- lieve they will dominate the situation, yet cannot say so, while the democrats are keeping up their policy for the past year of waiting for something, they know not what, to turn up. When Chairmen Butler ascertains what his party wants, he will act. This is both courtesy and policy on his part, even though he is said to be dic- tator by the democrats. Co-Operation or Fusion. The “non-partisan” idea has taken deep roost among the populists. They tried the experimcnt with the republicans in rezard to the supreme court and they think it has worked well. That court is now composed of a democrat, two republicans, a populist- republican-demscrat and a populist-demo- crat. That is as nearly as the political pro- clivities of the justices can be described. This was the pet scheme of Senator Butler. He now wents it carried further, and some of the populists appear to think a non- partisan electoral tickat would look well. It is a new idea, but then this state ts just now a sort of hotbed for that sort.of thing. There are some distrustful popuiists, and while the leaders appear to desire to be conservative, yet there are intimations that some of the lesser lights are inclined to lean toward republicanism. The struggle just now is between those populists who favor fusion with the republicans—co-oper- ation, they term it—and those who think their party can stand alone and put up its own ticket. Senator Butler's Methods. Senator Butler, the pcepulist chairman, is the hinge on which this all turns. Some of the democrats are doing a very foolish thing in belittling Senator Butler. He ts a shrewd politician, has his party in hand in this state better than any chairman before him of any pasty whatever, and his ca- pacity for organization is wonderful. Now, Senator Butler's ways of getting at facts and ‘at ideas are clever. For instance, while the republican chairman works from the state committee toward the people. Butler works just the other way—from the people toward the committee. When he desires to know the views of his party he consults first of all the township chairmen. Of these there are a thSusand. What these recommend as the course to be pursued the course the state committee follow Thus two things are eliminated; complain of “bossism” by the committee and com- plaints that the wrong course was taken. Senator Butler hopes and believes that his party is making heavy gains frcm both the parties. He hopes to see It at the front of the silver movement and believes it will be the backbone of the new silver party. His friends declare he has no aspirati: for the presidency, but would favor Sibley, and they indicate that the latter will be the silver leader. Senator Butler believes that the electoral ticket is of prime importance; more so than the gubernatorial nomination. There are, of course, populists who differ as to this. Some republicans say that their party must certainly name the man for governcr; that if the populists name him the latter party will say it has carried the state, while in point of fact the republicans desire to be able to say this themselves. Republicans After the Governorship. Otho Wilson, one of the leading populists, asked whether the republicans wanted the governor so much that they would let the populists have another Senator. Thomas B. Keogh, a prominent republican, re; d yes. ‘The republicans have for many weeks as- sumed that they will nominate’the gov- ernor, and also that they and the populists would certainly fuse or co-operate. This assumption galls some of the populists, for among the latter are several leaders who want to be governor. The populists say they are entitled to the good things, as but for them the republicans would have gone on year after year getting beaten by the democrats, without prospect or hope of a change. Carr's Withdrawal. It had been the opinion up to the past few days that Julian S. Carr of Durham, one of the richest and most public-spirited democrats in the state, would be a candi- date for the nomination for governor, but now he has dropped out and so the chief names now mentioned in this connection are those of Gen. William R. Cox (now secretary of the senate), Thomas W. Ma- son and Lieut. Gov. Doughton. It will perhaps be two weeks or more before the question of fusion (or co-opera- tion) is settled. It is easily the first of all the issues this year. a EXCLUDE SETTLED DISTRICTS. England Would Consider a New Proposition as to Venezuela. The London Times in an editorial on the Venezuelan dispute this morning, says: “There is a sincere desire here to arrive at a friendly agreement with Venezuela so as to remove all cause of controversy with the United States. Obviously England is unable to make any direct proposals to Venezuela till the obstacle of the Caracas statute has been removed. “But though no formal communications have been exchanged, the attitude of our government is perfectly well known, and a basis for negotiations is provided in our willingness to discard the Schomburgk line as a limit and only to exclude the settled districts from consideration. If a proposal to this effect were made by Venezuela or the United States on its behalf, a settle- ment would immediately come into view. A door has been open ever since Lord Salis- bury’s dispatch to Secretary Olney for a counter proposition. The maintenance of the Schomburgk line was adopted very much as a rough-and- makeshift. It is no secret that Lord bury is quite Cae ire to consider favorably any fair and frank suggestion.” MR. BOWLER’S ACTION. A Bill to Prevent a Repetition of It im the Future. Representative Ray of New York, a mem- ber of the judiciary committee, which been considering the questions raised by. the refusal of Controller Bowler to pay thé sugar bounty claims has introduced in the House a bill designed to cover similar cases that may hereafter arise. The Dill makes it unlawful for any executive officer of the government to refuse or neglect to enforced or carry into effect any law of the United States on the grounds of alleged unconstl- tutionality, or to refuse to pay out or apply. any appropriation of money made by the Congress by act or resolution, which hag prima facie become a law. If the constitu- tonality of a law is questioned the execu- tive officer, charged with Its execution me: report the facts to the head of the d yo ment with his reasons for questioning su constitutionality. The head of the depart+ ment shall have power, and it shall be his duty to temporarily suspend the execution of the law, if im his judgment such sug- Pension will not embarrass the transaction of public business. The question raised Is to be certified to the Attorney General for his opinion ard action. If the latter be- eves tho law unconstitutional it shall his duty to so certify to the department, which the question arose and to imm@- diately institute suit in the Court of Claims praying judgment that such law shall be declared void as in violation of the constly tution. From the judgment of the Court of Claims appeal may be taken to the Sue preme Court and such appeals are to have Precedence. If the Attorney General is of opinion that the law in question is constle tutional he. is to so certify to the depart ment presenting the question and therg- upon all executive officers of the govern: ment are to proceed to execute and enforee it. It is provided that no executive officer shall question the constitutionality of law appropriating morey to pay curre; ‘ expenses of the government or to provide for the common defense. 2+. SURVIVES A SHOCK OF 2,000 VOLTS. A Man Receive: Big a Men in the Electrical C Charles H. Hines received between 1,800 and 2,000 volts—enough to kill most men— Monday night, and lives, says the New. York World. He is superintendent of the electric department of the Flatbush Gas Works, on East Clarkson street, Brooklyn, and lives at No. 671 Tulip street. Hines was at work about a dynamo Mon- day night, and by accident took hold of thé primary switch as he stepped on some of the brass work of the machine. The circuit was complete. He was knocked uncone scious to the floor and a flash of blue fame iMvmined the room. Foreman Joseph Fer- ris rushed to his side and found his face and hands badiy burned. He summoned am ambulance and a surgeon removed the man to his home, where he remained uncons- cious for nearly five hours. Upon recover- ing he declared he had no pains but thos¢ made by the burns. He had recovered nt ficiently yesterday to sit up and talk to hi: family. To told this story: “The primary switch Indicated betwi 1,800 and 2,000 multiples, with a cha-ge of 160 cycles a second, alternating current. The switch is only a temporary one, and when I turned on the current I felt a severe pain on my hands and then about my forehead. Then I lost consciousness. Everthing seemed pleasant, and I seemed to smell sw perfume. I occasionally feel nausea. That, with the pain of the burns and slight dizziness, is all the trouble I have now.” The doctor says Hines will be b: work in a few days. =- the physician he SALISBURY HANGED IN EFFIGY, Great Excitement Prevails at Venezue! Capital. Special Cable Dispatch to the New York Herald. CARACAS, Venezuela, January —The greatest excitement prevails here over the reports received through dispatches from England that a British squadron is coming here vila Bermuda, and that an American squadron has left the United States for un- known anchorage.

An anti-English meeting was held at Bo- bare yesterday. An effigy of Lord Salisbui Was carried through the streets in m triumph; @ death sentence was read in the plaza, and the effigy was then shot to pieces after it had been hanged by the reck on an improvised gibbet. — = NOT TO SEIZE TRINIDAD. Denial of the Reported Mission of the Benjamin Constant.

A Cincinnati dispatch sent last night says: President Spencer and others of the Southern railway, who have been here on a mysterious mission, have dropped the cloak of mystery, and now say that they did not come to accomplish anything, but only to consult with the trustees and citizens about the future of the Cincinnati Southern road, and to ask them to consider two proposi- tions; one for a perpetual lease of the road at a reduced rental, and the other for a sale. He says the road needs an outlay of $6,000,000 in’ terminal facilities, equipment and betterments, and that no operating company can furnish this without a lease at a reduced rental. SEN Fish Dying by Thousands. A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun from Irvington, Va., says: A fatal mishap has befallen the fish along the Chesapeake bay shore. During the last three weeks millions of small spot and menhaden have been washed ashore. Shallow bottoms are also covered with them in spots. A similar calamity visited the fish in these waters some ten years ago, and then, like now, it followed a sudden and severe cold snap. The smaller fish, from two to five inches, that live in shoal water, are the only vic- tims. Examination shows the gall very much enlarged. This, it is supposed, pro- duces a torpor and, in most cases, death. Many of the fish when washed ashore show some signs of life, but soon die. Sips A Poetess Starved to Death. Miss Mary E. Hills, a retired school teach- er of supposed ample means, known as @ poetess, whose verse appeared in New York newspapers and magazines, was found dead Tuesday in her cottage at Mamaroneck, N. Y¥., where she lived, under circumstances which lead people there to believe that she was strangled to death by a robber who came for her money. Mrs. Julia T. Perrin, daughter of Judge Perrin, and Mrs. E. L Goodwon went to make a social call y Miss Hills, and made the discovery. ie cottage was in confusion. There were marks on her throat, apparently indicating thet she had been strangled, and bruises were found on the body. An autopsy, however, later demonstrated that death was due to starvation, and not to the wounds. A Girl Charged With Poiso: Minnie Swanger of Altoona, Pa., aged thir- teen years, is under arrest, charged with poisoning a family. Wm. McGregor, Mrs. Mary McGregor, his mother; Carrie Sill, her granddavghter, and Mrs. Martha Johnson, a visitor, were taken suddenly ill Tuesday while eating dinner at McGregor’s house. Williem died early Wednesday morning, and Carrie Sill is in a serious condition. The others will probably recover.
