PROSPECTS GOOD FOR A CANAL. Coufi rence Com pi it lee of llouie Ae- ecptg Senate Hill-If Title Ii Oood Work Will Begin. " Washington, June 25. The House conferees on the inter oceanic canal bill have decided to accept the Senate bill in favor of the Panama route. The House will accept the report without debate and then a canal by the Panama route will be assured. Considerable opposition to the Spooner amendment was ex pected in the joint confer ence, but the House con ferees decided not to press the Hepburn bill for a waterway by the Nicaragua route. When the Senate and House accept tho conference report the President will sign the bill, and work ou the Panama canal will be begun without delay. The canal question has been agitated since 1825 and the end of the long struggle is now at hand. Before the decision to accept the Senate bill was reached Mr. Hepburn, on behalf of the House conferees, endeavored to secure a modification of the Senate amendment limiting the Presi dent to six months within which the title to tbe Panama route is to' be perfected. When this failed Mr. Hepburn made no further opposition, and the Sen ate amendment was concurred in exactly in the form that it passed the Senate. N'EtiUO LYNCHED MISSISSIPPI.

The unfortunate man had lost his position as manager of the Orion Knitting mill which he had held for ten years and brood' ing over it he took an insane tendency to the terrible deed. He shot himself with a 88 calibre Smith and Wesson pistol and made a deadly shot. -His wife was in the bouse at the time and had the pistol hid away as she thought. Mrs. Taylor had borne up well and was making the best of life. He was heavily insured and may have thought of this as a means of providiDg for his family. Their Lit le 0uffW ir Dead.

We tender our Qondolenc to the bereaved family, this BEAUTIFUL RAMlOLl'H GIRL LOST Miss Jessie Wall Left Her Home and Has Not Been Heard of for Severnl layi. Asheboro, Juno 25. Miss Jessie Wall, a daugh'.i r of' S WWall, Esq., one of ihe promi nent citizens of tho county, left her father's house several days ago to visit tho dairy near the residence and has not been seen or heard of 6ince. Miss Wall was a beautiful cirl. onlv 17 years of age, and her family is well connected inrougnoni tne State. There is no accounting for her strange conduct and the deepest sympathy is expressed for her unfortunate and grief stricken parents. The Truth About Cleveland. "I think that Grover Cleve land's speech before tho Tilden Club was a masterly address," said Mr. W B Chapman, of New York, at the Raleigh. "I was born and reared in the Democratic faith, and even fol lowed my party in 1896 and 191' 0, which was a supreme test of loyally. I can tell you, how ever, that some of the best men among m' acquaintances bolted, and I never hail the hoart to con demn them. "No doubt the rabid followers of Mr. Bryan, who have always spoken scornfully of Mr. Clove land, will make adverse criticism of his speech. He could do nothing that would condemn him to the eyes of the extremists At the same lime the sober minded, intellectual, conserva tive men of the South where they are not afraid to express their true sentiments, will praise I the ex-President for his timely and well-considered talk. If we of the South would divest our selves of prejudice, we would be forced to the conclusion that Mr. Cleveland is today more worthy of leadership than any man in the Democratic party." Wash ington Post. The above voices our senti ments exactly. We have been there ourselves. Born in the Democratic fold and always a believer in Jeffersonian Democ racy, we have in all tho ups and downs of tho Democratic parly for forty eight years, shown our fealty i nd proved our loyalty. When tho Democratic party piped we danced and it did not make much difference as to the tune whon the music was a waltz, we waltz; when l was a two-step, we two-stepped; when it was a cake-walk, we cake walked. Why we submitted quietly and kept our temper when blatant mouths poured out their abuse of Cleveland and even danced to the Bryan music in both his races for the Presidency. But it made us very tired. Tbe Democrat who will adhere to the vatraries of Bryan and dtt- ' nounce the Democracy of Cleve land can not depend on our sup- port And the man who can not and will not see that Cleveland ,is a better and more reliable ex pounder of Jeffersonian Democ racy than Bryan does not urider : stand Democracy in its true and native sense.

She was born in Camden county, N. C. She was a warm number, jenerally, of wild temperament. Under promise of marriage which was afterward brokeu, she fell. She deserted her mother's home and her week old offspring aud went to Baltimore where she donned male attire and smoked and drar.k with the men and passed unsuspected as a man and became so inured to the modes of tho "britches tribe" that she took one step too many and actually courted and married a woman. The deception was not appreciated aud the female man is now under arrest. Her- mon G Wood, for six years a resident of Baltimore, proved to be none other than Lottie Saw yer and her widowed mother has learned of her wayward daugh ter's whereabouts. Pcculurily Afflicted. Mr. Pat Malone, of this city, is peculiarly afllicted. Without any apparent cause his feet be gan swelling about three days ago. .Since that time tho swell ing has extended to his face and this morning he consulted a physician, who was himself puzzled over tho case. Mr Malono's feet have swol'en to the exti'ti where tlie rski n has burst open and his foot are almost constantly bathed in blood. Mr. Malone is barely able to walk today. Salisbury Sun cf the 25th. A Raleigh correspondent makes this observation: Two men were talking about the decision oT the courts that railway franchises and railway properly are not to be reassessed for taxation until next year, exactly like other property. One man said that the State needed 700,000 for this year which it did not have and that if the franchises had been assessed this year this sum would have been raised, while as it is bonds must bo issued to mako up the amount. Tho other man said that apart from the justice of the thing the Staje's honor was fully pledged not to reassess railway property until 1902. An anec dote was told as an illustration. Jay (lould was oii".o charged 50 for breakfast by an Arkansas $1 a day landlord. When asked why he replied: "Because you've got the money and I want it." This illustration originally bo longed to the late Bill Nye. Bill related that on one occasion he stopped at , a shack, called by courtesy a hotel, in a rural com munity for dinner. When he called for his bill tho landlord charged him 3. Bill was juslly indignant and demanded of his host what ho meant by charging him $:i for a plate of bacon and beans. Tho landlord, after he had hhiftod his cud of tobacco and deposited about a pint of ambeer in tho lireplaco, replied: 'My friend, I need tho money." Thereupon Bill shook hands with him, telling him that he appreciated the circumstances and his candor, and that if he had only mentioned tho matter at first there would have been no complaint on his part. Per haps if tho Slate would tell tbe railroads that it needs the money they would cheerfully put up the. required amount without waiting for a reassessment of their prop erty. Statt'sville Landmark.

A drummer at an Indian Trad ing Post on tho frontier asked a liveryman tor his best team of ponies and a driver familiar with the plains one who would not become confused and drive about in a circle after getting about twenty or thirty miles from the Post. All right, said the livery man, I will scjid "Rod Horn," an Indian, with you to do the driv ing. The ranch you want to go to is 150 miles distant; I will send you there for $15. Agreed, said the drummer. . Only a few min utes elapsod till the drummer and Indian were on the way. They had gone about ten miles when the buck board broke. Now what are you going to do Indian, said the drummer. Cut bridle rain and tie up, he replied, and acting thereupon he soon ha J break repaired and proceeded. They had gono some miles whea the strap broke. Now what shall we do, said tho drummer. Change seat, me hold, said tl o Indian. With'the Indian holdir'. the cross bar in his hand and tl o drummer was doiDg the driving, they went on for miles in sil ence, their progress much de layed by the broken bar. Finally the drummer broke the silen -o by asking tho time. Must bo 'J night, said the Indian. Yes, I know it is, replied the drummer. I am awfully hungry and I do not have to reach there tonight can't we find some place to spend the night ? Soe light, ts-A the Indian? stay there.
