Community Shocked and Distress? 1 by a Fatality to a Man Universally Respected niul Beloved?Kuu Down by an Electric Car and Lingered in an Unconscious Condition Until 12 ) O'clock Last Night, Wien the End Came to His Life. A gloom of sorrow settled -down over this city yesterday such as was never be? fore known In her history. Almost every home was saddened over the tragic death of Mayor McClelland. He was run down yesterday morning at 10:40 o'clock on Campbell street by tliu Norwich car No. 14. The awful accident occurred just above Henry street and almost directly in front of Devon's dyeing establishment. The car was in charge of Conductor A. C. Deckner ami Motorman Sperry. A crowd of severnl hundred people wero soon on the scene, Including a number of the street railway officials. The motor man was terribly wrought up ovei the sad accident, but claimed that he did all iu Iiis power to stop tho car, but Mr. Me Clelland stepped directly in front and tints to his death. He stated that lie rang the liell und sounded the alarm for a sufficient length of time to have warned him, but he evidently did no! hear. The car was running at a moderate speed and the mayor was walking directly in front and along side of the track.and when the Car was within four or live feet of him started to cross tho track. He did not seo the car until it. was rigid on him when he turned facing it. .lust at that time he was struck down. He was knocked about live feet, his head striking the pavement. The car was then on him ami the unfortunate man was doubled up and rolled over and over to the distance of about 55 feet. Bystanders say that the motorman did all iu his power to stop the car, hut could not do so in less space than it was brought to a standstill. The mayor was picked up in an uncon? scious condition and carried to the office of Dr. .I ?nies on Henry street by J. P. Neighbors, P. M. Bell, H. L. Frauds and G. N. Foster. He did not breathe until they had reached the corner of Henry street several feet away. James Devon was standing in front of his establishment when the accident oc? curred and was one of tin', few people who sitw it. Mr. Devon said that Mayor McClelland was walking down the street and seemed to be in a deep study. He was neaiMhc car track and at one time it Hecmed as if lie wanted to get. on the car. The car was going slowly and just as it got to him he seemed to step on the track directly iu front, of the car. Frank Webber and ('. 10. (.'ray also wit in ssed t In-accident and reported the mat? ter in about the same manner as stated above, ltoth men say that the motorola!] did all in his power to avert. (In- accident. Where the mayor was picked up a pool of blood was noticed in the street, and considerable Mood was spilled alone: the way to Dr. Jones' office. When he was struck he had in his hand a bag of money and a check book with a deposit slip for $45.45 to In- deposited to the credit of the First Presbyterian Church, evidently be? ing the result of the Sunday collections. Mr. McClelland was treasurer of this church, atnl was en route to the First National Hank to make a deposit. Walter Lindsay also saw the accident and immediately went to the office of Dr. Jones near by for medical aid. Drs. ! Gale, Lewis, Prye, Tipton, Guerrant and Strickland were soon on band to render ; surgical assistance. The news soon spread through the city and a large crowd filled Henry street in front of the office I of Dr. . I ones for some time, anxiously' waiting some new - a- t o t he mayor's con? dition. It was soon evident to the physi? cians that it was a hopeless case and only a matter of a few hours when death would claim him as it- victim, The mayor was bleeding considerably from a wound over his left eye, but when an examination was made by Dr. Gale and the physicians assisting him, it was found that while a badly bruised surface extended from the centre of the back of his head to bis left ear, the most serious of all was the fact that he was Buffering from a fracture of the base of the skull. This injury to ! he skull is not where the blow WHS -t ruck but at the base, which is the plate of the skull upon which the brain rests. After doing all that could be done then for him, at 12:20 o'clock tho doctors had the unconscious man carried on a stretcher to his home oil Salem avenue, j Willing hands were there to assist, but only a few followed along Up the street. Upon their arrival at the residence every? thing was done that cone iie to alleviate the sufferings of the unfortunate man. He was surrounded by sorrowing friends. The city officials visited the residence, most of the Council attended in a body, but all their Sympathie- and sorrows were^of no avail. He lingered along, his pulse getting feebler and feebler as the weary hours dragged slowly along. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon the ominous death rattle was plainly discernible. His breathing grew heavier and shorter until 12 o'clock (midnight) when he breathed Iiis hist. He was born in Daily Claire, near Del fast, Ireland, Gl years since. He had three sisters and live brothers, all of whom nre dead except one brother, who still resides at Iiis native place. He ha? lt nephew living in this country. Others are living in England, :Ireland, Scotland and Australia. Mr. McClelland was of Scotch descent, his father being a linen merchant. He removed to America when lie was 18 years of age, about lorty-three years since, and first settled in Ohio, and after attending school he taught for some time, and when 22 years of age came to Vir? ginia and settled at Charleston, now the capitol of West Virginia. After living there for several years lie came to Salem, and then went to Chattanooga, Teno, but wan compelled, on account of his health, to leave that city and return to Salem, where he lived foi seventeen year-. 3KE, VA., TUESUi =. BRYAN l A LOSS TO THE CITY. 1 Mayor McClelland died last night nt 12 o'clock. Ho never regained conscious? ness after bo whs stricken down,but grad? ually sunk until tbe summons came. Roauoke in bis death loses one of her best citizens; society an example of true per? sonal worth which all might emulate and but few attain, and the church an earnest Christian und a faithful officer. Quiet and unassuming, honest and pure in motive and in deed, a good man and a true friend has gone to his reward. As an officer of the city he ever looked after the best interests of the people, and though he had served as mayor but a fow months, all had learned to love and trust him as one in whom they had every con? fidence and respect. The expressions of sorrow yesterday were deep and univer? sal, and when it is learned that he is dead, tho grief of tin? wbolo city will be profound. He will be sadly missed in all the'circles in which he moved: but those who knew him best/, and loved him most will long hold in sacred remembrance his many virtues and all tho noble qualities that adorned his life and character. In 1870 be was married to Miss ^Mary Coles Payne) of Roauoke county. He bus one child, a daughter, 15 years of age. He joined the Confederate army ami served four years. Ho was with the Thirteenth Virginia regiment, under Col. ! Geo. T. Pat ton. He was with Stonewall i Jackson in his Valley campaign, .and ] fought in the battles of Winchester, : Cross Keys and other cneagemeutis. I During the latter portion ot the war be was in charge of the commissary depart ! meat and collected and ordered out from I Richmond the last, wagon train which carried provisions to Lee's army on its way to Appoinattox. After his return to Salem in 18li!> he en gaged in the livery business, merchundis ? ing and tobacco business. During bis residence in Salem for twenty-one years j be wits elected member of the town coun ! cil twelve consecutive times and filled the i position of town treasurer. He was one j of tbe first, to open a real estate office in ! Koanoke, under.the linn name of F. : Rorer & Co. He removed permanently from Salem to Roauoke In 1888. In 1891 j Judge Robertson appointed him to fill j the unexpircd term of Hon. M. C. : Thomas in the City Council, wdio was I electeil a member of the State legislature. ' In 1892 and 1S9-I he was elected and re elected a member of the City Council, : during which r.imo he served as chairman of the finance committee, and in that ca I pactty rendered tbe city much valuable service. In tho last municipal election he was nominated for mayor by the Dem? ocratic primary, having no opposition, 1 und he was elected by a vote of 1,782 to i 1,492 for Capt. Phil." Lockett, .and suc? ceeded Mayor ?Tones on July 1. During the few months he has been in office he has given every evidence of his fitness for the position and he has given the city n \ safe and mosv satisfactory administra? tion of tin-(ity's affair a j Mr. McClelland was of Scotch descent .in 1 in his curly life united with the Pres '? byterinn Church in Salem. He was elected deaeon, and in this capacity was ] most efficient. He was at the same time ? treasurer of the church. When he, came ; to Roauoke he united with the Firsl Church and was afterwards elected a dea? con and also held the position of treas i urer. In this capacity he was most cili cient, and his treasurer's books are mod | els of neatness and accuracy, The ; church has again and again been ready to honor him with its highest offices and elected him an elder, but he always declin? ed, as he felt that he could render the church better service as.a deacon. One of tin" last acts of his life was to perform . his duties as treasurer to his pastor and his church, as he was on his way to the j bank to make his usual Monday morning deposit of money when he was stricken down. W. K. Andrews, of the First ward, president of the eoune.jl, will become mayor for the unexpircd term. Section 57 of the city charter reads: "In case a vacancy shall occur in the office of mayor, the president of the Coun? cil shall (ill t he olllcc for the unexpircd term *aud the vacancy caused in the ! Council shall be'jilled by law." The Council will elect a successor to I Mr. Andrews as Councilman from the ; First ward, but the general opinion -? is to be that W. H. Stevenson, of tbe Fourth wartl, who is president pro tein., ".ill succeed Mr. Andrews as president. Section 1(1 says: "The Council -hall elect annually cine of its members as president and shall also at the same timo elect one of its members president pro tern., who shall, in the absence of tho president of tbe Council, perform ail the duties devolving upon the office of pres? ident." * The funeral will take place at tbe First Presbyteiian Church at 19 o'clock Wed? nesday morning, after which the remains will he taken to Salem and laid to rest i i the Bast Hill Cemetery.'

DAI LY, NOVEMBER \ND REDE THE Ell lEJUlElT 111 MR. BRYAN MADE MANY SPEECHES IX NEBRASKA. His |lome State Turns Out Tremendous Crowds to Hear the East Public Words in His Noble Campaign?Many o? His Speeches Can be Classed as ufcjlippic in Character?He Denounces *jf% Opposition in His State for Re sprtiug to Forgery. Omaha, Xeh., Nov. 2.?It was almost midnight to night when Mr. Bryan spoke the last public words incident to his cam? paign. He had then made seven speeches in Omaha, beginning at 7 o'clock in the evening,' and had preceded the night's work with fifteen speeches made during the day at the following places, all in the State of Nebraska: Seward,York,Aurora, Griand Island, Hastings, Harvard. Saren villc. Sutten, Grafton, Fair mount, Exe? ter) Friend, Dorchester, Crete and Lin CQ?S He had traveled during the day 2110 miles. ft had been Mr. Bryan's original inten? tion to speak in every Congressional dis? trict in the State during the day, but this wJttffouu 1 to be impracticable and he en? tered only four of the six. Notwith? standing all the speeches of to-day were e in his own State, Mr. Bryan made noJtoecial appeal to State pride, nor did hcywell upon State issues beyond an np pe'ijf} here and there to his friends to give loyal support to the silver State ami Con? gressional tickets while they were east? ing their ballots for the Bryan electors. He praised Governor Holcomb's adminis? tration of state affairs and repeatedly called attention to the futility of all ell'ori- to secure reforms even with a fa? vorably disposed chief executive without aCong!ess willing to co-operate "with him. He dwelt, in the main, however, upon the national aspects of the cam? paign and appealed to his hearers to sup? port the cause upon the same general principles which he had advanced as essential in speeches made in other simi? larly situated communities. His two telling speeches of tin? day were made at Hastings and Lincoln, though he made some short speeches which weie pronounced by his friends as wortny to be classed as Philippic In char? acter. His strongest efforts were gener? ally directed at crowds containing more than the usual number ~of persons deco? rated with gold badges. The demonstra? tions in the way of greeting and of ap plaue were exceedingly cordial. Those who wore the yellow Insignia treated him with entire respect and in some instances anplnuded his utteranceu. At uo time in tKt-vi.nipaign has Mr. Bryan been in bet? ter physical or mental condition than he wns for his closing day. He appeared to reali/.c that he was nearing the end of his arduous siege and he did not make the usual effort to conserve his physical ener? gies. He allowed Iiis voice, which is still unimpaired, full range. He spent a greater part of the time than ordinarily between speeches chatting with friends. In these conversations he did not display the least nervousness over the near ap? proach of the crisis of the campaign and to all outward appearances he was quite unconcerned as was any of his company. At Hastings Mr. Bryan spoke of the cir? culars which had been sent out by the Re? publicans and also told the people of his impressions of Iiis eastern trip. He said in part: ??I have been absent from the State some two mouth-ami I have been reading in Republican papers that there were cer? tain Republicans in Nebraska who thought this State was loo far West to furnish a President and that a man did not know anything about the money question unless lie lived in New York, where he was surrounded by a London fog all the time. 1 heard that there were some Republican farmers out here who thought prices were not low enough ami they were going to try to continue the gold standard so that oats would go down to live cents a bushel. Well, I am glad to lind that these Republicans did no: tell the truth in their dispatches and to find mi many people test dying to their faith in bimetallism by coming out to-day ami doing what they have been doing all ovet the country, usim.' their voices tintiI their \ i ilces are hoarse. ?'Since I left Nebraska early In Sop tern - l.er, I have been as far Hast as the Ken uebec river and I want to tell yon there i- a silver sentiment in Massachusetts and Maine '.that is ^as intense as it is in Nebraska. When I have found a man who lived upon money and whose money wns Increasing in value under the gold standard I have gcncrally'found an advo ite of the gold standard, whether be was :n Nebraska or Massachusetts; but when I found a man who'worked for his living I generally found a man who sympa? thised with you in your struggles. When I have found a corporation attorney, whether he was "in Nebraska or in the Hast, I have generally found a man who Dclievcs in a gold standard; but when I have found a young man who was trying to make his living and to rise in this w orld without being a favorite of a cor? poration, I found a man who was against trusts and syndicates and in favor of the common people. Whenever 1 found a man who was connected with the coal trust I found a man who was a gold standard man; but when [found one who was opposed to trusts and wanted to so make the laws that a representative of a coal trust coulil not sit by every Hreside at d collect tribute from every family, I h ive found a friend, whether he was here NEW STYLE 18 Schubert Pianos Just Received.

'?After our opponents had found them selves driven from every battlefield upon which they dared to tiuht. then In the closing days of this campaign they have attempted to resort to fraud and to forgery, and you found in this com? munity letters purporting to be written by the chairman ot the Populist commit? tee of this Statu ^asking, you to save the State ticket and sacrifice the national ticket. I tun authorized to denounce the letter as a fraud and n forgery by Mr. Edmonstuu, whose name is signed to it. Hut the fact that they resort to these things show the desperation of the cause.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 3.?Mr. Bryan was given one of the greatest receptions of bis entire tour by Lincoln, his home city. He spoke from the balcony of the Lincoln Hotel and nddressed an audience which tilled the streets in the immediate vicin? ity. This address was made largely to Mr. Bryan's neighbors and contained more personal allusions tn himsell than any speech of the long series he has made. No gold emblems were displayed. The applause was frequent and general. Mr. Bryan prefaced his teiuarks with n refer? ence to his Eastern trip, stating that'in in the beginning of the campaign the people living along the eastern coast culled it a sectional qucstlcn. It was, ho said, a great controversy between the money power and the common people of this country. In conclusion he said: ?T have stated that if elected 1 shall not be absent front you more than four years. When 1 stated it. 1 meant it and I want you to believe in my sincerity when I say so. 1 believe that office is attended with duties so great with re? sponsibilities so ncavv. that thcmutl who occupies it, ought to have no personal ambition beyond proving himself worthy of the confidence Of those who elect him. If elected, I shall consecrate four years of my life to the service of my country, feeling that when that is done all has been done in the way of honor that can be done and then I shall rejoice again to be a prieate citizen in its nation where to be a citizen is greater than to be, a king."

The stranger, which proved to be a Spanish man-of-war, bailed the brigand asked its name and whither Ik.und. also if any Spanish vessels had been seen.

He Believes the Bolters Will Wield Much Influence To-day. Chicago, Nov. 8.?The Hon. Wm. D. Bynum, chairman of the national gold standard Democracy, made the followiug statement this afternoon: "I have every confidence in the result of t he election to-morrow. 1 cannot be? lieve that the conservative forces which have combined to save the country from dishonor can be defeated by the opposing elements; however desperate they may be. Our campaign has been almost wholly confined to the doubtful or closer States, our principal woVk having been done in Minnesota, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky. Tcnuessee, West Virginia, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska; I feel sure all those States will dcclar.? for sound money and if so the result will he due largely to the efforts of sound money Democrats. Had not the sound money Democrats of the West and South come to the rescue of the issue at the critical moment,the result to say the least would have been exceed!Ugly doubtful. The wisdom of our action has become more evident each succeeding day. We not only preserved the sound money senti? ment in the Democratic party, but checked the break from the Republican to the free silver ranks and have been an important factor in building up a healthy sentiment in both parties, u was cer? tainly a peculiar situation that required Democratic speakers to take the stump in behalf of true Democratic principles to influence Republicans to vote their own ticket. The action of the Bound money Democrats has, ununestionalily had a very liberalizing influence on the leaders of the Republican party and will result in a united effort to accomplish needed re? forms in our financial system. While the first requisite of a sound financial sys? tem is, that it must, be attached to a sta? ble standard, it, nevertheless must he so framed to answer the requirements of commerce] and, t herefore, must possess elasticity. A sound financial system is essential to the preservation of our sys? tem of credit, because without the latter we could not carry on our trade for a single day. It is impossible to conjec? ture at this time what course the sound money Democrats will pursue after the election. '1 he result of the election will have much Influence in shaping our movements in the future. We shall prob? ably have a meeting of the executive committee at nn early day for the pur? pose of closing up ?nir business affairs, and no doubt the fortunes of the sound money organization will then be consid? ered."

Two thinls of tlifse asking for gold handed in greenbacks and national bank notes. "Only Treasury notes of 180C issue and gold certificates accepted" said Mr. Shan nahmt, the teller.
