STORIES
It In Asserted Some of nis Acquaint

ferent Verslonof Conversation With
the Accused Man From That He
Told on the Witness Stand.
Ban Francisco, Sept. 19. George King,
the organist of the Emmanuel Church, who
tcjUfIed.lnJbe,Durrant trial yesterday, is
said to have told another story of his meet
ing with Durrant i'ri Emmanuel Church than
Uie one he gave yesterday on the witness
stand.
- j . - t, j
It is more dramatic, it is luller or details,
and lie is said to have imparted it to a few
intimate, friends aAfew days or so after
tho discovery of tbe 'church horrors.
It has been repeatefl and reached the cars
.of tho district-attorney somewhat after tJjls
fashion:
' When King "returned from tbe drug
store with, the bjcpmo seltzer he met Dur
rant and immediately handed tbe drug to
him. A violent chill iiaescd 'through the
frame of the latter, and he half staciri-rcd
tos he turned to"gotobc back of t lie church.
King accompanied him to tbe kitchen, and
asDurrantjjrepared the dose, his com
panion noticed 'that another chill shook
bis body. t.
IT WAS HORRIBLE.
"What's the mattertr he asked.
Durrant gave-ho-aniwcr, but placed tho
glass to his lipgnrxl drank half the con
tents. Almost immediately he shuddered
again. t
"Horrible, horriblcl" ho said to him
self. He lifted tbe' .glass to bis lips again
and emptied tbe contents.
"What," asked King, "tbe seltier?"
"No," said Durrani, with a chill that
shook blfcand, "no; tho gas."
This is rather different from the story'
that K3ngto!d on'the stand yesterday that
Is, In the,.fact, that ic contains details.
Several people imimateipacqualnted with
King are said to nave beard this story from
bis own lips In the, -week following last
Easter, when bis- mefnpfr must have been
particularly fresh as'tojthe occurrences of
that Wednesday afternoii.
iCwasTglven to tbcm.jso it Is stated, un
der no seal of secrecy,'! 6nt they did not
think It was of parttcullr.importance, and
it might have nercrbee& .repeated had not
tbe question as to Kir. willingness as
a witness come op so prominently.
h . &IflU W1UL, BE3KttSSED.
As it is. tbe district: attorney will press
King upon the point as.t whether the story
be told upon the stand Ttsterday or the one
with the dramatic details, which ho Is
alleged to have told to a few friends, Is the
true one. - -

lision occurred and at tbe first Intense
alarm was manifested by those on tbe
tteamer. As soon, however, as it was
seen that the Turkestan was standing by
to assist and that the trawler Vulture was
near-at hand, the anxiety became less.
The Edam's boats were rapidly low
ered and it was found that there was
ample room in them for all on board the
steamer.
There was hardly tune, howsvec. for
the passengers to rlotbe themselves fully,
and the women tTe on the clothing near

STRIKERS STASirEDISC.
Purposes of the Union Leaders Seem
About to End in Failure.
Ishpemlng, Mich , Sept. 19. Section 16
mine of the Lake Superior Iron Company
resumed work this morning at 7 o'clock.
Twenty men were employed. "
The Diamond drill force, consisting of
twelve men, started, and twenty surface
laborers resumed work. Last night Presi
dent Roberts, of the Miners' Union, sent his
committee to every house in the city Ir
which miners and laborers lived and im
plored tbe men to hold out until after to
day, fn which case the strike would be de
clared off. Many gave In to the pleadings of
the committee.
The union leaders are working every
scheme possible this morning to hold the
men together, so that they can ask that all
miners be taken back. Should the meeting
to-day decide to hold out longer tbe union
will be unable to hold the men.
At Champion yesterday there was a stam
pede of union men to tbe mine. It Is cer
tain that to-day will end tbe trouble. Tha
strikers will go back at the offer made by
the companies eight weeks ago.
Tbe .small properties that allowed tbe
scale made by the union will now cut wages
to correspond with those to be paid at
other places.

Albion, Mich., Sept. 19. The anniversary
at the Frccdman's Aid and Southern Edu
cational Society was held here last night,
tho principal address being made by Rev.
W. H. Rees, recording secretary of tbe so
ciety. He pictured the life ot the negroes and
poor whites of tbe South, and contrasted tbe
wealth of tbe North with the poverty of

son why poor whites did not improve and
become cultured men and women was that
they bad no chance.

who can neither read nor write and de
scribed the work of the society how It had
educated 15,000 black teachers and 5,000
white since the war.

the cause of education and the lifting up
of tho poor of the South and making good,'

flOW THEY USED DYNAMITE
Story of the Blowing Up of the
Train Load of Spaniards.
Insurgents Polled the StrinjrToo Soon
and Only Killed OneMan and
Wounded Five Others.
Santiago de Cuba, Sept. 9vla Key West,
Fla., Sept. 19. Further particulars of the
killing of one soldier and the wounding ot
five others by the placing, of dynamite on
the Gunntanamc Railroad on September
7 by insurgents are as follows:
Tbe insurgents learned that a train was
going from Caimancra to Guantanamp with
a body of soldiers who bad Just arrived from
Spam on the morning of tbe 7th, and they
planted a cartridge on one of the rails be
tween seven and eight milcs'from Cahna
nera, with the objectofblowingup the train.
After tbe engine had passed tbe rebels
pulled the wire they had prepared, blowing
one of the cars to pieces, but it happened
to be the baggage car. The train carried
900 soldiers, 23 officers and 1 chief officer.
As soon as tbe explosion occurred the
Insurgents appeared and fired upon the
soldiers, who had left the cars, killing
and wounding thirty-two. After firing
one olley the rebels left Uie scene of tbe
explosion.
The train that leaves here dally for
San Luis at 6 a. m., could not be run on
the 8th Instant, as tbo employes refused
to take it. After much persuasion they
succeeded in getting two firemen to run it
with the newly arrived soldiers. Tbe train
reached its destination safely.
The same firemen who ran this train are
still conducting the trains, as the engi
neers and conductors say that after the
using of dynamite in Guatnatanamo, they
will not run the risk of their lies for
the small salary they get.
BUFFALO WILL GIVE GOLD.

Issues Xeces'xary.

likely that Buffalo banks may decide to
follow (he example set by those of other
cities. In assisting the Government with
a portion ot their accumulated gold.
William C. CoruweU. preside-nt of tbe
City Bank and tbe State Bankers' Asso
ciation, stated to a United Press repre
sentative tills morning-that the banks of
this city have nearly $1,000,000 In grfld
on deposit in safety vaults and repre
sented by certificates which are used to
settle clearing-house balances.
"One-halt million or more of this gold"
Mr. Cornwell said, "could be shipped to the
Treasury and legal tender substituted In
tbe Me deposit vaults without the slightest
Inconvenience, and so far as a local
medium for tbe oettlement ot exch ange, tbe
legal tender would fill every requirement,
"If the leading cities ot the country would
all take this action the twenty or thirty
millions needed by the Treasury would
immediately be forthcoming, and matters
would be tided over until exports of
produce began to bring gold this way."

WHITNEY C1LLS 1 HUT
Administration Must Not Imperil
the Kentucky Democracy.
CHANGES IN POLICY BOOKED
Complete Reversal of the Cleveland
Method Is Said to Bo Beady to
Sprlns Of f tee Holders Will Be CnU
ed Off und Effort Made to Ileal tbn
Harm Already Done.
There are indications here that secni to
certainly foreshadow a sudden and sur
prising change in the attitude heretofore
chalntalnedby theadmlnbtrationln respect
to the peudiug Campaign in Kentucky.
Astonishing as it has appeared to poli
ticians in this city. Mr Cleveland has from
he outet planned ..nd executed a policy
if unfriendliness tuwasd the Dcruocralia
party and its State ticket In Kentucky
that has seriously threatened ti cnlminata
In Republican success.
Xot only this, but the deliberately de
viled programme of destruction, amounting'
almost to annihilation, is having a disas
trously depressing effect In other States
where Xovembcrelectiiins will be held.
But William C. Whitney, realizing the
exigencies of the situation, and foreseeing
th far reaching effect of the President's
system of punishment and extermination as
applied to Kentucky Democrats, has done
that for the party which the Chief Ex.
ecutlve would not himself perform or pct
mlt others to do.
WHIT-VETc'S FIND HAND.
Mr. Whitney, by virtue of his leadership
and great services to the party, has Issued
commands, framed In no uncertain orcquivo
cal language, to the effect that the unre
lenting fight waged by tbe Administration
must at once be discontinued and not again
prosecuted. The injunction is not only pe
remptory but conclusive.
As the representative of the Administra
tion so far as the fight in Kentucky is con
cerned. Secretary Carlisle was selected
as the man upon whom the injunction was
formally served. It is impossible to mis
take the language or to hazard disobedience.
The Secretarj will acquiese in the views
of Mr. Whitney and the ruthless persecu
tion of Kentucky Democrats will cease.
Xot only will this change of front by
the Administration be clearly apparent to
even those who run and read, butthc re
vulsion of sentiment will go farther and
be more clearly demonstnited. A faith
ful, honest, persistent effort will be made
to repair the damage already accomplished
and to secure, if possible, tho success of
the State ticket.
There are a number of gentlemen Inpubho
ife here -who are fully conversant with tho.
fact, that neither the President nor Secre
tary Carlisle have had part or parcel In the
changing of their plans, as applied to Ken
tucky. They bave not conferred on the
wbject, and have neither exchanged advicaj
"ir commands.
WHAT CLEVELAND WANTED.
So far as external impressions would
indicate, both were- jointly determined, by
means of administration influence, as
exerted through Federal officeholders, lo
cated In every village and at every cross
roads, to utterly disrupt the party, the
question of finance being the bone of con
tention and wedge of division.
But the mouthful bitten oft was too large
for, mastication, and neither the zeal In
spired by the hope of reward, nor the per
formance of duty obtained through threats
of condemnation and punishment, could
carry to a consummation the carefully pre
pared policy of disaster and destruction.
The beneficial effect of Mr. Whitney's In
tervention will be soon apparent, and un
less the seeds of discord shown by tbe
President and bis Secretary of the Treas
ury have been too widely-distributed, and
developed too vigorous a growth, the great
injury done the Democratic party in Ken
tuckey may be eo far retrieved as to m.iko
success a certainty. In the approaching rr
tion.
Griggs Men Confident.
Trenton, N. J., Sept. 19. Ot the candi
dates for tbe Republican gubernatorial
nomination Senator Voorheesv was the ear
liest a wake this morning and before he was
fully dressed a crowd of friends' pressed
Into his room. Griggs was also awaka
early, but the other candidates wcro in
visible till about 10 o'clock. Up to this
hour Griggs seems to be maintaining his
lead well, although the Kean men deny
the fact.
