st:.tc rf re pore, free from delirium

a slight hemorrh-ie of the lui;gs,
which, however, did not seem to
weaken him very much. Soon after
this himrr.oirhnge he closed his
eyes, and without a word went to
sleep. This sleep continued until
death.
T.'u Field's come of about the old
est st'vk in America They trace
their ancestry back as far a3 10C0,
when Hubertus do la Field went
over to England from Normandy
with William tiv? Coiqncror. In
! 50 Zacariah Field, a gran i so a of
trie astronomer, .Jonii iriciu, came
to America ad settled in North
ampfon. . His son, Timothy, gained
some reputation as a soldier in the
llevolutiouary war. He left a son
David Diulhv Field, the father of
Cyrua W. and his three brothers.
The father cf the projector of the
Atlantic cable educated three of his
eons at Williams College, bat he
was too roor to send Cyrus there.

Jle trained considerable reputa
tion ft in on g the clerks by suggest-)
ing that the delinquent fund, made
up of lines paid by cleiks for lr
regu'aiities unusually devoted to
c:ty charities be spent on a grand
dinner for the employees at the As
tor House. At a dinner given many
years laier in honor of the man who
laid the cable, A. T. Stewart told
this story of his experience with the
young clerk, Field :
"Field here was a clerk of mine
years ago, and not so many years
ago either, and he had charge of a
department. All my clerks used
to ke-p pencils fiehind their ears to
recutd their sales with, and friend
Field had his pencil, but it was par
ticularly large, I fancy, and had a
specially tnick, hard head, for I
used to notice that whenever 1 was
seen to come near the department
with which Field wa3 connected,
rap-nip would go that pencil of his
in a peculiar way on the counter,
and by the time I reached his de
partment every clerk had struck an
attitude of earnest business and at
tention, very pleasant to look at,
veiy pleasant, indeed ; but all ot
it 1 am convinced, the result of
friend Field's peculiar system of
VOL. V. NO. 28.
telegraphing my approach by means
of that peculiar rap with hi9 big
pencil. I don't suppose Field
dreamed that I -dropped,' as the
detectives say, on his little game,
but I took it all in, and really it
was very clever. It amnsed me so
that I used to try to steal a march
on Field, but never succeeded. I
would always hear that peculiar
rap-rap of his pencil head before I
got there. Really, when Field
got into the telegraph line it didn't
at all surprise me. He was only
expanding on the practice he got
in my establishment."
Mr. Field left Mr. Stewart's es
tablishment mnch against the lat
ter's will to become a travelling
salesman for Matthew Dick, a
paper manufacturer in Lcc, Conn.
In 1S40, just before he reached his
majority, he went into partnership
with E. Root in Maiden lane. On
the day after his twenty-first birth
day he married Mi-8 Mary Bryan
store, of Guilford, Conn. In 1841
through rash speculations by his
partner, Mr. Field's firm became
bankrupt. He lost all,' but he ar
ranged with his creditors and start
ed in business for himself.
In twelve years Mr. Field amassed
large fortune and retired from
business. At that time he became
the owner of the Gramerev Park
house, iu which he lived until his
death. He was o'i years old then,
and as he had all the monev he
wished, he determined to seek rec
reation, and he and an old friend,
E. Church, the artist, made a
year'3 tour through South America.
The possibility of laying the
Atlantic cable is said to have been
conceived originally by Frederick
Gisborne, a telegraph operator,
but to Mr. Field belonged the credit
for rendering this possibility a
practicability, and thinking out the
ways and means. Mr. Field sub
mitted hi3 pi n to the approval of
Feter Cooper, Moses Taylor, Mar-
hall 0. Roberta and Chandler
Waite, whu agreed to give their fi
nancial support to the enterprise
oon organized as the New York,
Newfoundlaud and London Tele
raph Company. IIi3 next years
were a typical period in Mr. Field's
vicissitudmos life failure on the
verge of success, despair on the
heels of hope, ridicule swift after
praise; long, unbroken, wearying
suspense, varying wiui esaiiauon
-4 ,
and depression, and the iiual tri
umph.
I-or all the thirteen years of
doubts, fears and hope3 Mr. Fie d
devoted his tireless energy to the
great enterprise of the new tele
graph, company, lie visited Engs
land dozens of times, arousing con
fidence, soliciting aid, writing
sneaking, and consulting. After
several unsuccessful attempts to
lay the the cable, communication
rt-aa established first in 185S. Four
hundred messages were pent, and
then the cable parted.
Undaunted by this failure Mr.
Field asrain went to England in
1050 to make preparations
for
another attempt to lay the cable.
Mr. Field's compauy had a nominal
capital of $1,750,000, representing
350 shares of $5,000 each. Mr.
Field himself subscribed $440,000.
Great l'ritain granted an annual
subsidy of $70,000 and the United
State3 an annual subsidy of 70,000
for twenty-lue years. Both Gov
ernments granted the nse of ships
of war in laying the cable.
In 1SC5 the Great Eastern Etarted
to lay the cable. When the cable
had been laid 1,200 miles from
Valentia and only COO more, re
mained between it and Heart's Cons
tent it was broken by a sudden
nrch of the vessel and sank two
miles and a half into the oceau.
Repeated attempts to bring the
end of the cable to the surface failed.
The enterprise was abandoned for
that year, but in the summer of
1806 it was resumed. All honor
a8 given Mr. Field after that nota
ble July 27, when the feat was fam
ished. Congress voted him a gold
medal and the thanks of the coun
try. John Bright, in Parliament,
callel him "the Columbus of mod.
em times." The Paris Exposition
in 18G7 gave him the Grand Medal.
Other marks of appreciation were
the thanks of New York, with the
freedom of the city and a gold snuff
box; the thanks of the Chamber of
Commerce of New York, with a gold
medal; the thanks of the State of
Wisconsin, with a gold meJal; the
thanks of the American Chamber of
Commerce of Liverpool, with a gold
medal; a decoration from King Yic-
tor Emmanuel of Italy, and a silver
service from George Peabody.
Mr. Field waa also the inventor of
the elevated railway system of New
York City.

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat
prints several columns cf extracts
from letters cap'ured in a recent

viceofficers in the den of a gang of
"green goods" operators in Carter
county, Missouri. Theee thieves,
tho Chilton brothers and their
uncle, Coleman, conducted their bus
iness under the name of the "Curio

then 2,0o0 letter3 found in their
possession, they must have done a
thriving trade.
Among the letterrs printed in the
Globe-Democrat are the following:
A R Smith, of Americus, Ga,
contracts to take $500 per month,
which h and his partner can handle,
and fills h:s letter with Masonic
expressions, closing with a drawing
of a Knight TVmplar badge with
the letters II T W S S T K S with

G W Cole, of Dallas, Ga., who
says he i the clerk and treasurer
of a large association, doesn't blame
the Curio Supply for not trusting
lim, but he wants eome of the
goods, and offers to send a pamphlet
setting forth Lis high character and
honor.
W II Phillips, of Springdale, Ga.,
says he has had experience. "I once
ordered from a New York man," he
says, "and when I got the package,
what do you suppose it was? A box
of sawdust and a cote telling me to
keep cool 1" Mr. Phillips refers to
the Back of Cuthbert as to his
character.
J A F Hutchins, Westminister
S. C. , wants his goods marked 'jewel
ry," and i3 ready and willing to
put $1,000 into the stuff if it shows
up right. He is also very anxious
to have all bis letters returned to
him.
II M Allison, of Laurens, S. C.
writes from Madden, S. C, and is
very angry because they wrote him
a3 II II Allison, and he cautions
them to "be careful never to let it
occur again
He .?ant3 to deal
with them face to face, and says heir -
will buy $1,000 of the goods or more.
He orders $50 ($350) at once and
insists that it be sent to High Point
P. O., Laurens county, S. C.
P A Ownbey, of Asheville, X'. C,
who sav3 he has just changed his
postoflice box to No 00 in the new
$100,000 government building and
who want3 everything kept strictly
confidential, wants $500 worth at
once, and is making preparations to
take $00,000 worth in a short time.
Mr. Ownbey, according to his bill
heads, is an extensive merchant at
Asheville.
L S Trauson, of Winston, N. C,
wants $300, for which he will pay
$45, the schedule price, but insists
upon a sample so he can be sure
that the "goods" will "pass."
R J Carter, of Hickory, N. C,
wants his package seat in care of
Rev. G W Pearson, and he will then
handle it according to instructions.
T D Crotts, of Aaheboro, N. C,
wants hia "goods" sent as silverware,

Ripening lemons is

The crop ia exceptionably fine, and
such a thing in Concord just shows
what kind of a climate we have,
and what might be done here
An Old Watch.
Sometime ago a negro took an old
watch into Correll's jewelry store to
have it repaired, but finding that
the cost would be more than he
could stand, decided to sell it to the
jeweler. The watch is something
of a curiosity and watches of that
pattern are now very rare. It has
an alarm business to it that will
wake you up at any hour you want,
and keeps just as good time any one
can do.
The negro said that he got it
from a tramp, and the tramp very
likely stole it from some one.
It has been discovered that Ban

a wreck as a result of his rascality.

crookedness $25,000 at least waa lost

Thursday was the great Alliance
day for the county. The meeting
was held in Rocky Iiidiie church,
three miles from town.
The programme wa8 changed
considerably from what waa origi
nally intended, which prevented
some from hearing sll the public
speaking. Instead of the speaking
being in the evening it was in the
morning, and consequently those
who went for the 'peaking only
missed it.
J R Bradford, No 3, was called
to the chair, and J B White1, presi
dent of the county Alliance, ex-
j plained that the object of that part
of the meeting waa to hear two
speeches from two young men of
the county, Messrs. Chas. P. Sapp,
and G. Ed. Kestltr, of Concord.
Mr. Sapp then took the platform
auel made a beautiful, straightfor
ward, honest speech on reforms
needed. He did not dwell on any
particular method of securing the
! reforms needeel. Hi3 speech was
universally commended, and every
one who heard him was ready to ad
mit that Mr. Sapp possessed won
derful oratorical powers.
G. Ed. Keistler was next intros
duced and took the platform. His
speech wa3 straight along the
Omaha platform, arguting the sub
treasuiy, land, finance, and trans
portation. He urged them to stand
together and secure the success of
the Omaha ticket. He waa repeats
elly cheered. Mr. Keistler inform
ed the reporter that his speech, to
gether with Mr. Sapp's, wa3 en
dors t'd by the Alliance afterward,
llu kim ine
rl tint, thev would, in nil nrnh.o
j ... , . i
r, b? colled to any part of the
'-i;m.v' b? co1Iet'
county at anv time to make Alliance
speeches ;
After these young men mde their
speeches, Rev. Jno. G Anderson was
called for and responded, of course.
But the Alliance has learned how
to tako htm, and dou't let him up
unless they are sure that the peo
ple will decide they are going to
perish to death or the sun will set
some time in less than a week. So
he spoke until it wa3 announced
that dinner waa ready, and then
held up for the attention that the
crowd wauted to give to the table.
The dinner was said to be a very
fine one, and a plenty of it.
After dinner the Alliance went
into secret session, and one thing
done was the election of officers for
the ensueing year. They are:
President, J B WThite; vice-presi
dent, J M W Alexander; secretary
and business flgent, Jno. A Sims;
treasurer, Geo. E Ritchie; lecturer,
Jno. G Anderson ; assistant lecturer,
C McDonald; chaplain, II C Dunn;
dooorkeeper, J C Jcnuston; assistant
doorkeeper, Win. Junker; sergeant
at-arms, Jno. V McAnulty; execu
tive committee, S A Gner, J A Fink
and A F Hileman. The newly
elected oilicera will be installed on
July 30th , in this c'ty.
iv hen the secre: session was
through with its business the Alli
ance resolved ltselt into a ma33
meeting and invited all outsider in
to hear w'lat was raid and done
The chuch wa3 immediately filled
with people, a few ladies, but t
large majority of men. John R
Bradford, of No. 3, waa made chair
man, and W. W. Robinson, of Pop
lar Tent, secretary. The obj ct
of the meeting was explained, which
was to get the political view- of
any who desired to talk.
Cai'T. Chas. McDo.vai.d
arose amidst cheers, and said : "The
question is, how are you going to
vote? Now, 1 would like for all
who intend to vote the Omaha nom
inees to stand up' (The entire
crowd with possibly the exception
of half a dozen men stood up. Great
cheers.) He said then that they
had everything to gain by electing
Peoples Party men aa president and
to Congress. He was in favor of
the State Democratic ticket; felt duty
bound to support it, and thought
it decidedly preferable to any that
could be named. He said he in-
tended to vote for Weaker, but want-
ed them to go into the Democratic
primaries as they did before, and
nominate People's party men for
county officers and for Congress and
elect them. He waa in favor of cal
ling a mas3 meeting and getting the
sentiments of the people on the sub
ject; but wanted to call this meet
ing in tbe name of the people and
not the Alliance, He again urged
them to Btand by the Democrat nom
ineea in the State.
Wm. Juxker
next took the floor and announced
that he was "in the new party un
equivocably. Tho thing is a national
issue with us. I have always been
a Democrat, but am not now.
(Cheers.) We had aa well get 'into
tbe brier patch now a3 any time.
It scratches some but we had as well
do it. And we want unity in the
new party n- halving the thing."
J. M. W. Alexander
took possession of ;the floor next,
andjproceeded to bemean the Demo
cratic press in every way he could.
He said he would rather not be called
upon, but voices of "out with it,"
in the audience starfed hia flutter-
mill to running. Then he said:
"I have been a' Democrat since the
war; w; have accomplished nothing.
I have been taught to believe Ihat
the Republican papera did all the
lying, and the Republican party was
to blame for all of our trouble. I
am for the .Omaha platform and
nomineea and will vote for no man,
county or not, who doea not stand on
that p'atform. I will vote the
State Democratic ticket."
Geo. E. Ritchie.
Mr. Ritchie had the attention of
the crowd and said: "I suppose
most of you saw my card The
Standard stating that I had enough
to do in the Democratic party. I
believe we need no Third party in
the county or State ; therefore, the
necessity of that card. 1 did not
make up my mind any way until
the nominations were made. A
great many of us Alliaucemen, you
know, resolved that we would neither
vote for Cleveland cr Hill if nomi
nated. The nominations have been
made, and we have made up cur
minds to vote for the Omaha nomi
nees. We will have to vote our
Peoples party candidate, but I do
not think there is need for a Third
party ticket in the county or State.
J. Mike Scott
was next heard from and said. "I
can't see the philosophy of voting
a split ticket. Ain't you splitting
things a little ? Why not take the
whole hog ? We wan't more money
and less tax."
John A Sims
waa called for and responded a3 fol
lows: "Several months ago I en
dorsed the St. Loui3 platform. I
suppose you know where I stand. I
have never voted anything but a
Democratic ticket,and never scratch
ed one in my life. I expect to yote
the straight Democratic ticket so
far as the State ia concerned. Posi
tively, lam for the ticket nomina
ted by the last Democratic State
Convention. For President, I am a
Peoples party man. Weaver is not
known to me, but if, after becoming
acquainted with hia record, I un
dergo a chancre in recrard to
j
him, I will let you know.
So far as I now know I will vote for
Weaver for President. For the
State I am solid. You know what
we have had here under Republican
rule. The selection and election of
Congressmen i3 an important matter
to us. So far aa tins district is
concerned we ought to have but two
tickets Democratic and Republi
can because a three-cornered fight
is decieledly dangerous.
S L Kluttz.
was called for, and rising, said : '
want to know how we can get our
choice by sticking to the Demo
crats. Don't you know that if we
attempt to eo into the Democratic
primaries we will be ruled out ?"
When Mr. Kluttz took hia seat
calla were made for J F Newell, the
only press reporter present. He sat
very quiet aud paid no attention to
the calling of his name.
Watt Barrixgek,
Aa the above named gentleman
tooK tne noor an attention waa
rivited upon him. He said : "I be
lieve Bro. Cook, of the Standard,
haa called me the daddy of the
Third party in the county. I feel
and think that the Third party r?ill

I call the meeting that started the
Third party m this county the 'Inr

the men to
A3 Mr. Barringer took his seat the
calls for J F Newell were repeated.
But he Fat as quiet 33 ever, and.
J. II. Earnhardt
took the floor. lie said, "I am a
Jeffersonian Democrat; I am going
to vote Democratic principle but
not Democratic'party. I am going
to vote for the man pledged to re
form. The Democrata and Repub
licans are just like men dividing a
corn heap and then trying to see
who can beat. I mean to help turn
the rascals out. (Great cheers.)
As Mr. Enmhardt took hia seat
the calla for J F Newell were re
viv. d with more earnestness. It
seemed that nothing would do but
he must speak. To sit still and re
fuse longer was deserting his colors;"
it was backing down before the
enemy. And to attempt to speak
and mention Grover Cleveland's
name, except in contempt and deri
sion, meant to be howled down.
But arising and
chairman said:
addressing the
"Mr. President, and fellow citi
zens: I am aware that your calling
