"He is truly a wonderful man. Men
who abusp and curse him on the streets
one day and almost swear they will not
go to hear him, are penitents the next,
and all who hear once rush to get a
front seat the next time, and are more
anxious to hear him at each of his ser
mons than they were at first. Some
people go to the first services and
either carry, or have their meals sent
to them and do not leave the house
until after the night service, for fear
they will be unable, to get a good seat.
1 never in my life saw anything like it.
Some have rented houses and furniture
and have moved their families here
jluring the meeting."

VYour correspondent has received
from Hon. Kemp P. Battle, president
of the State University, a very valua
ble and certainly interesting work the
history of the Supreme Court of the
State. It is in the shape of a lecture
which Dr. , Battle delivered some
months aero. Originally the subject
would be a dry one, but Dr. Battle so
handles it as to make it readable to all.
The history of the court is traced from
1663 to th present day, through Co
lonial days and past Revolutionary
times up to 1818f when the present sys
tem was adopted, and then through the
changes since. It gives short sketches
of ail the members of the court who
have died since 1818. The address was
delivered at the request of the justices
of the court and is part of Vol. 103 of
the Reports.
Prof. Geo. T. Winston delivers a me
morial address on the late Prof. R. H.

day," the anniversary of the laying of
the corner-stone of the "Old East," the
first building erected.
Dr. Wm. J. Martin, of Davidson Col
lege, at' the request of the University
Faculty, will at some future day deliver
at Capel Hill a memorial address on
the late Dr. Charles Phillips.

XTheX wealherx yesterday was very
threatening. The rain poured down in
theC5yening. ,Th.is; moriiih though
rain was falling, the weather was more,
promising. The children were disap
pointed cohsiderrbly by the rain, as all
of them intended to go to the fair. But
the prospects are good for a fine week.
The coolness is particularly agreeable.
The fair was formally opened about 1
o'clock to-day. The Governor, under
escort of Chief Marshal Herbert A.
Norris and President W. G. Upchurch,
left the city soon after , noon. The
Steele CreeK band, from Mecklenburg
county, furnished the music. It is a
good band of eighteen pieces, with R.
C. Freeman as leader.
The fair was formally opened by the
Governor, after it had been presented
to him by its president.
Your correspondent spent some time
at the grounds. It is no exaggeration
to say that it is the best fair yet held
here. There are more articles, they
are more attractively shown and there
are some changes m system which
please all. The farm products and
cattle are unusually excellent. Tha
extent of the cotton and forage and
fruit displays is very gratifying. It
was found to be impossible to gt every
thing in readiness by 11 o'clock this
morning, when the entries closed. The
rain set matters a little back. But by
the afternoon everything was put in
good shape. There is a great deal of
machinery, shown in the west side of
the old exposition building. All that
remains of this building is filled with
exhibits. The State Agricultural De
partment is a large'exhibitor. Its dis
play is newly arranged.
The poultry show is highly credita
ble. All the coops are full. The same
may be said of the sheep and pig pens.
Some particularly fine catties are 'on
exhibition in the cattle sheds.
Thousands of people stopped yester
day at Durham on their way to the
fair here. There was an awful crush
at Sam Jones' farewell meeting. Sam

The ISrookJjra Tabernacle Destroyed j
Fire The Gr.at Prja-ner Wltneee lt
Destruction.
New York, Oct., H.The famous
Brooklyn Tabernacle, of which Hey. T,
DeWitt Talmage is pastor, was 3e5ter
day for the second time in its history
totally destroyed by fire.
At 2:15 o'clock yesterday morning a
policeman discovered flames Issuing
from the small windows over the main
entrance, and, rushing to the nearest
signal box, sent , an alarm. The fire
men found the fire had a3suined large
proportions, and additional alarms,
calling all available apparatus, were
at once sent In. It became evideut
that the edifice was doomed. It burn
ed like a tinder box, and the firemen,
despairing of saving it, directed their
efforts to the adjoining property.
Many of the occupants of neighboring
dwellings were already awake and the
, police proceeded to arouse those who
were sleeping.
A three story frame structure, No.
353 Schermerhone street, adjoining the
church on the east was the first to take
fire, and No. 355, a similar structure,
followed; No. 357 was also damaged.
On the wept side or the church the
flames extended Jx two brick dwellings
and oh the opposite side of Schermer
hone street a row of three story brick
dwellings suffered from the intense
heat. The residents of the neighborhood
awakened, either by roar of the flames,
or by the pounding of the. police upon
theiiv doors, became frightened and
rushed out half dressed or in their
night clothes, and the police had great
difficulty in assuring them that they
were in no danger.
Fortunately there was no loss of life
or limbs. The poliee carried out one
old lady of eighty years and placed her
in a house at a safe distance. All other
inmates were able to care for them
selves. But while the firemen and po
lice worked br the salvation of prop
erty and persons, the doomed church
building was being rapidly consumed,
and in an hour's time only the totter
ing walls remained, y:
Dr. Talmage was on the scene soon
after the first alarm, and did not leave
until he had seen the edifice, which
had been his pride, laid in ashes, then
he returned sorrowfully home. All
day to-day crowds visited the spot and
gazed upon the ruins.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
Edison's men were in the building un
til 5:30 o'clock p. m., Saturday, arrang
ing a new electric plant, and it is
thought that during the thunder
shower which prevailed during the
night, lightning had beeixearried into
the building by the wires they intro
duced and which rah around the gal
lery about On; aTevel with where the
flames were first seen.
The loss on the church building, in
cluding the organ, which was one of
the finest in the country, is $150,000. It
is said to be covered by insurance in a
number of companies. Losses on the
adjoining property is small.
Ralph Waldo Emerson's Grave Desecrated.
Concord, Mass., Oct. 14. Yesterday
afternoon while attending a burial at
Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, two gentle
men of Concord discovered that the
grave of Ralph Waldo Emerson had
been disturbed. The authorities were
notified and found that tne grave had
been opened during Saturday night,
exposing the casket. Whether the re
mains have been taken or not is un
known. At present the authorities are
waiting the return of Dr. Edward
Emerson, the philosopher's son, who
has been telegraphed for. A watch
was at once placed at the grave, but
the general opinion here is Jthat mis
creants have accomplished their ob
ject and secured at least the skull
which was probably what they were
after. There is great indignation
here. . x . ,N
Xater "VVillard Farrar, an under
taker here is authority for the state-
mehtihat, although Emerson's casket
was uncovered, it was not opened by
the vandals, who were apparently
frightened ?. way before the could ac
complish their purposes.
Ravages of Diptherla. j
Pittsburg, Oct. 14. A Gallitzen,
Pax special says: Diptheria in its
worst form is playing havoc with the
lives of our little ones in this place.
During the past two weeks the average
number of deaths has been three or
four per day and the doctors report at
least fifty cases down with the disease
in town .x Four families, with six or
seven little ones each, one month ago,
now are childless from the sweeping
fangs that fastened their death dealing
substance upon their offspring. At the
instance of a meeting of the Borough
Council which was called by the bur
gess, Tom Burns was appointed to in
vestigate all cellars and inspect the
drainage in order to prevent further
ravage.

Washington (Kt. 14. The United
States Supreme Court assembled to
day for the October term, all the
Justices being present. After txj
formal opening of the court and the
admission to the bar of several lawyers,
the court, in accordance with a time
honored custom, adjourned to call on

? Washington, October 14. The In
ter State Commerce Commission has,
inan opinion by Commissioner Morri
son, announced its decision of the case
of James and Abbott against the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Rail
way Company and others.
This is a complaint of transportation
Charges on lumber carried from John
son City, Ten n., to Boston, Mass. The
rate, of which complaint is made,
is thirty-six cents per 100 pounds
of lumber in ear load Jor a distance of
911 miles, though from the more dis
tant point of Atlanta Ga., 1,240 miles,
a lower rate of thirty-four cents is
charged, which is alleged to bo in
-violation of the fourth section of the
act to regulate commerce. From Ma
con, Ga., to Boston the freight charge
is the same as from Johnson City,'417
miles shorter distance, over the "same
line. -"'
The Commission holds that the com
bined rail and" water competition at
longer distances does not justify a
greater Charge for shorter distance,
while the shorter distance rate is main
tained by the carrier at points where
competition is of greater force and
more controlling than at longer dis
tance points; such greater charge is
not justified by the fact that local rates
have been first paid on lumber to
longer distance points, nor by the fact
that freight is shipped in cars from
longer distance points which brought
machinery to those points, and for
which profitable return loads were not
ul ways to be had; nor by a difference
in bulk and value of lumber when the
published rate sheets put lutdber in
same class and at same rate.
While the distance is not always the
controlling element in determining
what is the reasonable rate, there is
ordinarily no better measure of rail
road service in carrying goods than the
distance they are carried, and . when
the rate of freight charges over the
line in sending freight carried from
neighboring territory o the same mar
ket is considerably greater than over
other lines for distances as long or
longer, such greater rate is held to be
excessive and should be reduced. The
rate on lumber from Johnson City to
Boston should not exceed thirty-three
cents per 100 pounds.
The Jury Bribers.
Chicago, Oct. 14. In Judge Baker's
court to-day a special grand " jury to
further investigate the eharges of
jury bribing was sworn. It is composed
of well known citizens. S. B. Chase
was chosen foreman. Judge Baker
briefly addressed the jury, telling its
members that above all things they
should remember to observe strict
secrecy in regard to matters brough t
under their observation. The judge
then read the law regarding the pen
alties to be enforced in case of the vio
lation of the secrecy of the grand jury
room. At 3 o'clock the grand jury re
turned an indictment against John
Graham, clerk in lawyer of the judge's
office, as well as true bills against the
six men indicted Saturday.
A startling rumor is abroad to the
effect that; John F. Beggs had made a
full confession which had disclosed to
view the jury bribine" plot in all its de
tails. 'Tis said one of the State's At
torneys asserts that bailiffs Solomon
and Hanks and Tom Kavanaugh have
agreed to tell all they know about the
plot, and they are sure-therefore, of
reaching the head and front of the con
spiracy. A Pawsencer Tram Derailed.
Wilmington, Del., Oct. 14. A South
bound Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore freight train dropped an
iron door on the tracks between Char
lestownx and North East, Maryland,
which derailed a passenger train about
9:45 o'clock this morning. The train
was partly wrecked; nobody was killed,
but fifteen persons were hurt,- five of
them seriously. ' Three of these five,

The Chicago Grand Jury at Work.
Chicago, Oct. 14. It was about mid
night Saturday when tne special grand
jury adjourned. Their report was
short and formal in character except
for the intimation that the jurors be
lieved the plot to be more widespread
than was indicated, by six: Indictments
being returned. All the indicted per
sons passed the night in the county
jail.

Nkv YoaK. O. U H.-Th. eleventh
day Kion of the General Convention
of the Episcopal church opened thi
morning at St. Grorge's church at the
usual hour. De.-pius the inclemency of
the weather then? was a very fair at
tendance.. The hC'ion was opened
with prayer by Rev. Dr. Le Sing well,
of Quincy. Dr. Dtx presided.
The regular buMne? was taken up.
The first business on the calendar wn
the resolution of Iier. Dr. Huntington
for a joint committee to prepare a
standard prayer book for Dr.
Huntington ?poie in favor of hi reso
lution. The matter was potponel for
further consideration. K. Corning
Judd, then spoke in favor of his re
lution on proportionate repr-eontatlon.
With his permission, the debate on this
question was postponed to allow the
committee on the selection of psalms
to submit their report. A debate
on the latter question then ensuod.
The committee recommended substitu
tion of Psalm sixty-four for Pwalra
sixty-nine. A number of delegate?
spoke. Dr. Phillips Brooks stated
that he was averse to any change. A
motion was made to postpone the dis
cussion until after the report of the
Joint Committee on the Liturgical Re
vision was carried. The IIoue then
prepared to receive the House of
Bishops for a discussion of Missionary
work.
At 12:30 the Missionary meeting be
gan. Bishop Clark, of Biiode Ie-land,
occupied the chair. A motion was
made that the Missionary meeting be
held at night to give the business men
a chance to attend the sessions. The
motion was carried. A further motion
was made that when the Board of Mis
sions adjourn to-day at 1 o'clock, the!
next meeting would be held to-morrow
evening at H o'clock p. m., which was
carried, , Rev. James S. jobn&ton,
Bishop of Western xxTexas, was
then requested to address the House.
He spoke of the impossibility of pro
perly prosecuting missionary work in a
district as large as England, Ireland
and Scotland with a paltry $a,(XM). In
the course of his remarks Bishop John
ston expressed his disapproval,of the
churches wasting their time "tinkering
canons and patching the Prayer Book'
instead ot equipping men to fight the
great enemy of the church scientific
reasoning.
At the close of Bishop Johnston's re
marks a motion was mae by the Sec
retary of the House of Bishops Ur re
consider the vote, postponing the mis
sionary meeting until the evening.
After some debate the motion was car
ried. -. -
Rt. Rev. Adiel Leonard, Bishop of
xNevada and Utah, then addressed the
House. He spoke of the decadence of
Nevada how the population had fallen
to under 40.000 how in Utah the Mor
mon question was far from settled.
When he first went out there he
thought he knew something about it,
but how after years of work he confess
ed himself puzzied. The population of
the State was solidly Mormon.
The Rt. Rev. John Mills Kendrick,
D. D., Missionary Bishop of New Mex
ico and Arizona, was next called upon
to speak. He began his remarks with
a tribute to the memory of his prede
cessor, Bishop Dunlap. .He occupied
the greater portion of his time in de
scribing the physical appearance of his
diocese and the necessity of irrigation.
Many of his constituents are Mexicans
and Indians who cannot be reached
through the English language. He
thought that before money be spent in
churches and schools new men should
be sent into the field. The Indians
were but little better than pagans and
the first work should begin before them.
At 1 p. m. the meeting adjourned un
til 2:30 o'clock.
