Memphis Tenn., Feb. 22.—Thp

annual convention in this city to-
day, about 300. delegates being
present.
Among those attending, ore
Paul Vandervoort of Omaha,
bill intrcsluced by myself should be president of the association; Jacob
considered a substitute for the bill of Coxey of Ohio, Hon. Frank
the gentleman from Hunt (Evans),
and that no previous question
should * be ordered*, by* any of the
gentlemen on th?. side until these
measures were discussed. The
speaker was a witness to that con-
tract. Now when this bill was
considered section by section' and
after the last section had.been con*
sidered, I was to be recognized to
offer the bill now in my hand as a
substitute,, but the old gentleman
over here (Mr, Bumpass) offered
another amendment^ and In the
discussion of that Mr. Wolters got
the floor and moved the previous
question. -The accusation has been
m^de that w- want np legislation
in‘this subject. That is not true.
We yvaot legislation that will so
hedge about the preference of cred-
itors that fraud will be impossible.”
Mr. Tracy thought the only so-
lution of the tangle would be for
the majority to oppoint a commit-
tee of five, leaving out the. leaders,
to confer with a like committee of
the minority and frame a compro-
mise measure and refer it to a cau-
to own only way he

Memphis, Feb. 23.—To-day’a
session of the RefoturPress assoc-

The anger of the delegates was ar-
foused by the statement of Secre-
tary Parker that he had received
an official comnunication from the1
Nebraska Reform Press association
which preferred charges against
Ex- President Paul Vandervoort
and asked that he be tried and ex-
pelled from the association. The
communication charged Vandef-
voort with “being a paid spy of the
Repnblicafa party and a traitor to
the-cause of populism. The con-
vention howled down the, charges,
and the* ex-president Was Exoner-
ated by a committee appointed to

Denton, Tex., Fpb, ^3,—A dar-
ing attempt to. break jail was •
made here to daj by thrqe ne-
gfdfis, Geo. Henry, ^Arthur Gil-
mon. ami Will Miller, in on a
charge of burglary at Pilot Point,
as a result of which Floyd Cobef-
ly, the jailer, lies at tbe jrfil dead.
All tnioe^'of tbe negroes are
froih Hillsboro, and all are under .
penitentiary sentence from Hill
county,- Heqry for five yearB f and t
the otner.two for three years each.
It seems that the prisoners had
eaten dinner,and the jailer, after
taking the utensilBout of the lower
tidr of cells in- which the white
prisoners are kept, *had gone to •
the upper tiers where thj& negeroe*
werd to do the rBame thing for
them. Before going in he drew
the lever, closing all the cells ex-
cept the eating room 4ml, think-
ing the negroeH were in the tbeked
cells, wera in. It Seems, however,
that only two of the negroes were
in their cellB, one hiding on the
outside, and when Col»erly beqt
down to pick up the dishes, this
last one hit him a terrific blow
over the head with a stick of stove
wood, which in some unknown
way, they had secured and secre-
ted, and „ then opening the doors
of the other cells, he, with the
otheV two, threw the .jailer down
the steps, and following him, hit
him again on the head, beating
him into insensibility. Then se-
curing the keys and fjoing into
jail office, dhey returned and
would have shot the senseless End
bleeding jailer, hail not the other s
prisoners, interferred,' through .
their cell bars, pleading with them
not to kill him." This part is best
told in the language of Russell
Blair, a pisoner, whose cell is just
under the steps and who saw the
whole affaii; after the jailer was
thrown down the stairs.
\ “1 heard a, scuttling,” -said he
“and ip a few momeote after I .
saw Coberly . come tumtding'dqwn
the steps, the-negroes following.
.They then-beat him over the head.
After going into the office they
returned; Guy Stark, a negro
truSty, rftjwted -to. helY> the, officer,
but had a big-pistol thrown down
in his face and wits told to get
away,•'which he did going ,arot id
to the other side of the ceils. ’ Af- ■
