C., June 2<). — Director Leach of the Mint Bureau, made the following statement this evening on the subject of silver: The price of silver today is sl.Ol fine ounce, an advanco of tree ar four cents over the price at which silver has hung for several months. I bought largely Wednesday and Fri day because I believed from indica tions that the price of silver was going up and that it was to the in terest of the government to get its quota of four and a half million ounces for the month at the lowest possible figure. While it is believed that considerable silver represented by certificates on the New York stock exchange, that is stock that ig for sale, has decreased and offers to the government have fallen off largely for this and other reasons, it is thought the present advance i 3 a natural one, with a strong proba bility that it will be permanent and progressive. The government pur chases are evidently making a de cided impression on the price. If the wheat crop of India should be as large as reported, it would necessi tate incroased shipments of diver to pay for it, and this would haye a ten dency to increase the value of the white metal. The secretary has rot decided yet whether he will continue the coinage of silver dollars after the first prox.; but he will make a decis ion on that matter promptly on his return to Washington next week. No official information has -been received here of the mooted interven tion of European powers in the Hay tian affairs. The fact cannot be dis guised that the situation ,'s that the disturbed Republic is being watched with apprehesion by our own gov ernment. I W Flood in Illinois.

Peroia, 111., June 20.—Additional particulars of the Hood which was ehed cut from Farm Greek and Cop peras Greek valleys Thursday mgnt verify the first reports of heavy damages. People on Fon an Lac were completely hemmed in by the angiy watersr but yesterday two men from there rowed to this city. The farmers for five or six miles up the river and a mile and a half back to the hills have lost all their crops. In many places the water is yet standing 9 feet deep over the corn fields. Along the Toledo, Peroia and West railroad is a scene of wreckage. The household furniture of the people in Farmdale and Hilton was all washed away. China, baby carnages, wag ons, dead cattle, pianos, tables and fences are piled 10 feet high against the railroad track. Three iron bridges three hundred feet long over Mill creek were completely washed away and have not yet been located. In Fon du Lao township where two big brick yards stood Thursday there is now ten feet of water. The loss of crops, live stock and gardens will be enormous in Lime Stone township.

New Orleans, June 20.—-A col lision on the Illinois Central Railroad last night near Saave, was caused by an open switch where the freight train was side-tracked, and was run into by the south-bound fast express. Four men were killed and six se verely wounded. The mail train was behind time and running very fast when tho accident occurred. The passengers were severely shaken up, but none were seriously injured. When the passenger train dashed into the open switch there was a mighty crash of the two great bodies together, with grinding metal, and hissing escaping steam and the piti ful shrieks of wonnded men. The mail train consisted of the mail car, baggage, smoker, ladies coach and .two vestibuled sleepers. The mail tar ran on top of the two engines, tearing oat the flooring, smashing in tne tides. When the ougines met the shock caused the freight train to break in two, and the rear end she . J back several hundred y*ids. Six cars remained attached to the freight en gine and were smashed to pieces. Three of them telescoped one an other, the nearest car to the engine being driven clear through the two. There was nothing ieit of them but splinters. JLiiaine oii*th^Mcud. By Telegraph to the News aud Observer.

ATMOREHEAD. THE GREAT GATHERING OF TEACHERS ATTHE SEASIDE. The Work of the Assembly Pro gressing—Some Observations and Incidents—Dr. Talmage. Ocr. of the News aad Observer. Morehead Oitt, June 20. Yesterdayjwas one of the finest days we have had, a delightful breeze from the right direction, a fine surf, good traveling and excellent sailing. The sharpies were kept right busy. Pieasure-seekerß had the right of way, and started out early, while the As sembly met at the morning hour, 10:30. After services by Rev. L. W. Crawford, of Trinity College, the regular routine business was taken up. President Mclver, called Prof. Alexander to the chair. Professor Bandy, of Trinity, was given permis sion to call attention to a new arith metic he has prepared. The programme was then taken up, and the various topics set for the day were discussed by eminent Pro fessors. At night Hon. W. T. Harris, United States Commissioner of Edu cation, addressed the Assembly at too late an hour to givo the subject in this report. A slight, accident occurred this as ter t.oon. Secretary Harrell, with a party of ladies, was out sailing when sheir sharpie capsized. The water was not deep, and assistance toon at hand brought them sa[ely aehove, with only a involuntary bath, or, it might Lava been, & step in the direction of compulsory education iu swimming. The ladies, I was informed, behaved man .tUy, and wer« remarkably seif possessed. Additional arrivals lest night wdl counter balanoo any departures this morning, so the nicy be con sidered as not abating. Dancing assumed more formidable, but not forbiuable, proportions last night. An impromptu german came off, evening dresses and about twenty couples enlivened the ball room. A PEN PICTURE OF THE ASSEMBLY. The Teachers’ Assembly is more largely attended than I have ever known before. Fully one thousand wore here on yestorday (Thursday.) The meetings are very interesting, and quite an interest seems to have been awakened in the association. 001. Harrell is, as he has formerly bean, the center and moving spirit of the occasion, and he marks out the programme, and his plans are well laid and successfully executed. Those here now are mostly strange faces to mo, and I recognize but few that I saw here last session. The Atlantic is fuller than I have ever before known it. All the par lors were filled with cots last night, and it looked like about every cot in the universe got here last night. One thousand persons are here now, and good arrivals of gnests are expected tonight and tomorrow night, and Sunday will see here the largest crowd by far that the Atlantic has ever yet accommodated. On Mon day next and thereafter during the week, the crowd will diminish. Considering the crowd and the $1 per day board, the hotel is well kept; you may say remarkably well kept. I have not gotten a better breakfast at many $2.50 per day hotels than I had this morning. After the Assem bly leave the table will be much bet ter, as the rates will be much higher. The bar-loom is closed, and it looks odd, and is very inconvenient. The incorporated wisdom of the select al dermanic wise-acres of Morehead has sat down on it. The pony-ocratic town council say they are going to start right here on liquor extermina tion, and Mr. Foster has offered to 'j the town taxes for two years, and two hundred dollars for license for three months, but it is no go. They say they are going to root it. our ead hove reached the Omega of this busmen and Ooioga "sortor” thinks r - too. They are i going to break up the by j aiu.rms.nic influence here and are n A I at ad daunted buce.fi.eo license iu Now Y jvk, Ph* la dolphin Baltimore, Norfolk. Raleigh and Durham is given and elsewhere, Tae license ought to be given. It is necessary to a sum iier resort like this and the hotel is a great help to the town. The tem perance people vrill say “exactly right” don’t let him buve the bar: ana I might say so too (n d I’m not a drinking man either) if it was net tbe only like seaside res rt i r the State ar.d United Sifites, to which licenhe is denied, if me town had any other product but poiaes to sell, it would decrease its revenue and I see now fourteen ponies in front of Mr. Foster’s hotel, grazing on his grass, and if the bar was open they would’nt all mind taking a drink and just about one huhdrod men, now on the front veranda who are looking at the po-nies, would do it just as quick as thepomes. Weil I will quit the ponies and say a word about the great wheel-horse Talmage, who lectured here la3t n ght. to fully eighteen hundred ox two thousand people. He spoke from the music stand of the Atlantio ball room. The ball-room and verandas were filled. He is a very fine looking man, about 6 feet 1 inch high .and weighs about 18$ Or 190 pounds. His manner and forensic show very fine, voice strong aud attractive and he knows how to make himself distinctly heard by every one. He looks to be about 55 years old and I should euy he is no older. He Foks somewhat like John D. Biggs of Williamston. At times while Bpeaking ho reminds one of Col. Me lias, tUougn his style of speaking is long and drawl, while the Colonel’s was quick, incisive, aud polished. He has a strong face and one likely quickly to attract. I will not attempt to outline or re port his lectnre, as two short-hand reporters were present, and took down every word he said. He did not commence to speak before 10 o’clock. It was announced on Thursday that male members of the Assembly would be charged fifty cents, ladies twenty-five cents, and all outsiders one dollar, and after the orowd was seated it took the twenty-five appointed collectors some time to go through and collect. His subject was “Blunders,” and he classified and commented upon quite a diversified number. I noticed he did not include the one the Assem bly made of concealing, or not an nouncing before the day of his spoak ing, that a charge would be made to hear him, when all along before the meeting, it was heralded that among the greatest attractions which the membership ticket would secure, was i the lecture of Dr. Talmage. How ever, no great harm was done. Ho made SSOO, and the Assembly made from $750 to SI,OOO, and a lecture from a wide,world-renowned man was heard. Now axd taen his fbgW , were fine, and his words pathetic I and thrilling, and his illustrations i clothed in finished style anu thought, ! but the lecture as a wnoio leil short j of my expectation. 1 did not. j there was very much in it—nothing j to bring out the distinction, gran den:* and gre*tnes? cf the uisn ffho i is heid to be the most he turn* of this country, it was rather tamely delivered, and did of induce lapturous applnu.-e, or invoke ex cited, exhilarated, or overheated manifestation, or acceptance.

By Telegraph to the News and Observer. Nashville, Tenn., June 20.—A special from Atlanta, Ga., says: Mayor Hemphell has created a big sensation by vetoing all the beer license. Atlanta issues two kinds of licenses, one to saloons handling whisky and wines, as well as beer; this at SIOOO per annum. The other is for beer saloons alone at $250 per annum. The former are kept in the business part of the city within cer prescribed limits. The beer saloons are in the outskirts and in some in stances in the residence portions of the city. The mayor’s reason for refusing his approval to beer saloonß is that these have been to all intents and purposes “blind tigers” and their existence is unfair to the prohibition element and to the saloon men who pay higher licenses. The announce ment has created a groat deal cf dis cussion some favorable to the mayor and some decidedly opposite. |—i m » —i —— Three Girls Asphyxiated. Bv Telegraph to the News aad Observer.
