| A Statement of Director Leach.
I By Telegraph to the News and Observer.
* Wabhiqton, D. 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.

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.

Railway Accident.
By Telegraph to the News and Observer.
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.

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.

NO BEER LICENSE.
THE MAYOR OF ATLANTA
SHUTS DOWN ON IT
Am Vetoes all Licenses to Beer
Saloons Claiming that it is Un
just to Other Saloons—A Sensa
tion Created.
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.

The promotion of Mr. R. R,
Bridget to tfie Superintendenov of
the Western North Carolina Rail
road calls to mind a remarkable
car ocr, which is a living and practi
cal lesson to the young men of North
Carolina. It teaches what ability,
honesty, diligence and ambition will
accomplish, and that a man cab
make his career what ho will. Mr.
Bridgers started his railroad life ip
an humble and insignificant position
-—that of assistant to tho road master,
but from that day his path through
life has been upward and onward.
His first promotion was to be con
ductor on a freight train. He then
filled successively the position of con
ductor on passenger train; superin
tendent of stone masonry, and after
wards assistant civil engineer on the
W. and A. Railroad m Georgia; di
vision engineer on surveys on the A.
andN. W. Railroad in West Vir
ginia; superintendent of construc
tion of maohine shops at Roanoke,
Va.; assistant civil engineer on the
E. T. V. and G. Railroad; supervisor
of track on the Pennsylvania Rail
road; engineer of maintenance of
way on the W. N. O. Railroad, and
later on tbe Virginia Midland Rail
road; superintendent of the North
Carolina division of tbe R. and D.
Railrrad, with headquarters at Ral
eigh, N. O.; aud now at the early
age of thircy-six he ic promoted
to the Superintend/ of tho Western
N. C. Railroad with beau quarters at
