K'ue? of No Such Fund.
Mr Jones. In hy Lvnchhurg sp?ech.
Is reported to have charged me with
having been ? one of the disbursing
agents" of what he terms the ??yellow
dog fund of the railroads." I presume
by this he means to charge that a fund j
was contributed by the railroads for
corruption purposes,
I know of no such fund.
The only contributions inade by the
railroads or by railroad men of wh*ch j
1 have any knowledge were the con- j
tributions madi by them above stated. '
at the request of the Democratic man?
agers to the Democratic campaign
fund. I do not think that any Demo- ,
erat Interested in thv success of Demo- '
cratic policies. In the establishment of
prosperity and the maintenance of
good order amor.g our people and in
the political supremacy of the white .
race will complain of the contributions |
thus collected and expended by the
Democratic managers ot that day.
To denounce It now as a ??yellow dog
fund" I* to arraign th* Democratic
management which brought our State
through one of the most trying and 1
difficult conditions which has ever con- I
fronted any people.

Committee to Examine Martin's
Campaign Made Unanimous
Report.
While disapproving some of the'
practices connected with the election
held on November '. is93, at which]
?'? elected the Legislature which se-''
lected Thomas s*. Martin for the L'n'tel I
States Senate, the legislative commit- ,
tee appointed to investigate Mr. Mar- i
tin's successful tight, reported that tlw [
evidence failed to show any 'mpropei
.methods on the part Of any candidate '.
for Senator The practices dlsap
proved of are suppos.vi to have been
the methods used In those days to In- |
sure white majorities at the polls, and,
in fact, the committee states that they
were not different from those resorted:
to In former campaigns.
The investigating committee was
composed of seven members. Four of i
these, according to the best recollec- j
tlon of to-day, voted for General Fitz
hugh Lee. They are: C. 12. NICOl, ol j
Prince William, chairman: George A.I
Mushback, of Alexandria; James L. 1
?T.redway, of Henry, and Merritt T. J
Cooke, of Norfolk. The three voting]
for Mr. Martin were Major Joel C.
Green, of Wytne; R. IS. Boyltln, of Isle
of Wight, and 11 H Downing, of War- :
ren. The caucus roll is apparently un?
obtainable. Senator Mushback. Major
Green and Mr. Boyktn are now dead.

"Thus It win be seen that Senator
Martin's veracity and mine is on trial
before the Virginia people, as well us
his fitness to represent them as their
Senator.
"I confidently and unhesitatingly re?
spond to the issue.
"Senator Martin's denial appeared
for the tlrst time in yesterday's Rich?
mond Times-Dispatch, I saw it for
the first time at a late hour last eve?
ning In Lexington. Naturally, it will
be a8SUmed that I have not had suffi?
cient time since then in which to mar?
shal all the evidence upon which 1
rely. Hut, nevertheless, it fortunately j
happens 1 have with me to-day a por- '
tlon of the documentary evidence
which Is in my possession, but yet a
portion thereof Which, 1 think you
will agree with me. abundantly sus?
tain? and vindicates my side of this
controversy. 1 repeat that the letters
which I shall now read you constitute
but a portion of the unassailable doc?
umentary evidence bearing upon this
case?evidence which, when submitted
will prove most enlightening to the
Virginia public, and still further illum?
ine and more distinctly define Senator
Martin's past connection with railroad
domination of affairs of our State.
"The documents In my possession
nhundantly establish tho fact that In
1S91 there was a 'yellow dog railroad
fund' In Virginia?made up of con?
tributions by four railroads operating
in Virginia, as well as the fact that
Senator Martin waa one of the most
trusted of those who disbursed it.
"But, my friends, I think you will
i agree that it will be time enough to
: produce this additional evidence after
: Senator Martin lias been heard from in
respect to that which I shall now pre
'. sent for. the consideration of the peo?
ple (Jt Virginia."

New York, July 10.??An excited par?
ty of men and womon in a touring car

North Beigen, N. J.. yesterday after?
noon, with Motorcycle Policeman Mur?

^They had been going plenty fast
enough when Murray took up the
chase. They went even faster when
they saw he was bent on arresting tho
man at the wheel.
The auto was a powerful one. and
Murray was losing ground, when. Just

Murray was going so fast it would
have been suicide to leap. But he
caught sight of a big sand pile in front
j of a new building, and steered into it
! The machine was crumpled into a
j tangle of spokes and burs, and >i*?r
I ray flew several feet through the air
with his clothing stll; on fire.
But some one in the fugitive auto?
mobile had turned back and had seen
the biasing man and machine. Bud

As the auto came up to the sand
pile where Murray lay and the men
and women threw out blankets and
the men leaped to the street. They
wrapped the rugs around Murray and
extinguished the fire. They were in
time to prevent his being seriously
burned, although his hnnds and face
were scotched.
Wouldn't Arrest Him.
"Well. I'm here," said the man who
had been driving the oar. "I'm your
prifoner."
Murray stopped nursing his burns
and smiled appreciatively,
"1 don't think I want to arrest a
man like you." lie said. "I don't think
the captain would let me. even if 1

Plttshurg. July 10.?Religious hys- I
terla was rampant at Homestead Park
yesterday. This Is the centre of at least .
one of the world's spectacular creeds
Thousands of spectators flocked tc
see the demonstrations.
Screaming, raving, rolling, jumping,
cohtortlonistic men and women pur?
sued their communion in n canvas taber?
nacle. They are members of the "Gift
01" Tongues" cult, who no longer be- 1
Hove that the curse incident to the
building of the Tower of Bab^l holds
sway.
Hundreds of delegates to the conven- '
lion of "Pentecostal primitives" shout?
ed their belief In a little tented city
of their own on the outskirts 01
Homestead, They come from all parts
of the world
Huddled about in a tabernacle, in the
midst of tiers ot smaller tents, used
for sleeping, along the sloped ground
of the hillside, these delegates and be?
lievers of the strange teachings are
gathering each afternoon at J o'clock
and continuing their sessions until
midnight.
Coma and Hysteria.
Concentration of thought is the main
principle of the belief, from what can
be. learned from statements mode by
the spectators. But tiie methods of
showing the results of the practice are
submission to the powers of officials of
the sect and remaining in a state of
coma ,.i- hysteria.
The altitude of sixty to one hundred
persons stretched out on the ground In
an apparently unconscious condition
or some of them tossing about ? wrilh
ipg, screaming and tearing thell
clothes as if In the greatest of pain
was one form of showing their devo?
tion to the belief, as witnessed to-day
"The gifted ones," headed by "Broth?
er I-'loat," went about in the audience
ami. working In pairs, "assisted" in
bringing on the "primitive Pentecostal
attitude." Meunwhlli many others
v. ere crying, screaming, throwing
themselves about on platforms, tear?
ing away their outer clothing, lying on
the ground und kicking their feet into
the air and helping to bring on the
frenzied ^t.ile of mind of those being
I "converted."
At one time thirty-nine women were
counted lying on the groind. either
unconscious or kicking and screaming,
while the elders were working on
, other subjects.
Piled four nnd five, deep on a plat?
form were , ighteen writhing men Tak
j ing off coats and collars and discard?
ing all extra clothing, these men would
stand mi their tiptoes, and raising their
hands into the air, scream in a hys?
terical manner, then cast themselves
on the platform and rill out among
the prostrate women.
Accompanied by AVclril t bant.
A weird chant led by the choir and
?lders is kept up at all times, while
men and women roli about in a way
resembling the Malayan form of wai
dance.
The religion was founded by Lev)
i i\ Lupton. of Alliance. O., he of "rpan
I child" fame, whose case a year ago
I attracted world-wide attention. It
was charged he was the father of a
' child?the mother being a "convert"?
j horn as a result of the stig-jestlon from
heaven, for the creating rf a new
race.
I Several persons connected with the
I convention denied that Lupton was in
I Homestead, stating he had been de
J posed as leader of the sect.

elate my name in the letter of Mr
Thompson in reference to a conversa
tlon between Mr. Thompson and Mr
B. B Munferd: I recall that Major 1:
T D. Myers, than whom Virginia
never hat! a more conscientious ur
loyal citizen, give me his Individual
check for (600, which 1 cheerfully ac?
cepted and which was used tor cam?
paign purposes 1 feel honored In
having been associated with Major
Myers and Mr Munford In any under?
taking,, and I can imagine no man In
Virginia whose opinion Is worth con?
sidering and who ever knew those two
gentlemen, who would for a moment
think them guilty of anything un?
worthy of the best traditions of the
Commonwealth.
"I desire to say In this connection
that not at any time during either
of these two campaigns, or during the
succeeding sessions of the General As?
sembly of Virginia, was I ever asked
by any railroad corporation or the
representative of any railroad corpo?
ration, to do anything of nny sort with
regard to any legislation affecting
their Interest or any other interest.
Martin and Jones Helped,
"Mr. Thomas S. Martin. while a
member of the State Executive Com?
mittee at the same time with Hon
\V, A. Jones, gave me the most cor?
dial and valuable assistance in the coi.
lection of campaign funds. He was al?
ways ready to render any service to
the party, and as long .if he was on
the committee ho was accounted on*
of its most useful and honored mem?
bers.
"There was brought out in the
legislative investigation of 1893, by
a statement from General Fltzhugl.
I-ee. some of the sources from which
we obtained money, jt Is set out In

President Cleveland gave $1.000. which
was Increased by Renerous deflation;!
from members of h's Cabinet and
friends of the administration In New
York and other cities, who were all
much interested in the candidacy of
Governor Charles T. O'Ferrali and of
General I?ee. who were warm and de?
voted friends of the President.
"In the disbursement of eampalrn
funds I have made It a rule to al?
ways take care to distribute them
through the regular channels of the
party."
