The call appears to-day and is sigued by W. R.

The chairman for each county is hereby notified to call the convention of tbe party together in thoir respective counties on the Oth day of August to se lect -delegate from each county with county will be entitled to cast one vote for every 500 votes cast for Governor (all parties) in 1888, or majority fractions thereof. "These township primaries are desir able. The county chairman shall so or der and each towjaship shall send one delegate to county --convent ion for every 50 votes cast for Governor (all parties) in 1888, or majority fraction thereof. "County conventions electing dele gates to congressional conventions shall elect one dclegut e for every :i0() votes cast for Governor (all parties) in 1888. "A convention of the People's, party of the sixth congrcssfonal district is hereby called to meet at Rockingham ou the 18th day of August, at 12 o'clock, for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Congress and transacting other im portant business. Tho chairman of each county committee in the district will, iu due time call u county convention and appoint as many as ten delegates from each county to said district convention. "Tbe date of the People's party district convention for this the fourth congres sional district is hereby changed from July 12th to Monday, August 15th, at 2 p. m." The Progressive Farmer (Third party organ) to-day publishes Capt. 8. II. Alex ander's letter to Capt. W. P. Oldham, of Wilmington, and makes this comment : "It has only bocn a short time since Captain Alexander wrote a letter saying he fully endorsed the Bt. Louis platform. As the national Democratic platform contains nothing resembling that plat form, we cannot see how so many differ ent platforms can be endorsed. The Al liance members all over North Carolina are endorsing the St. Louis platform al most unanimously, and swear that they will vote for nothing else unless it is something better. We think there is danger of carrying this 'endorsing' and letter- writing busiuess to an excess." Now as to Republican plans. In con versation to-day with a leading Republi can "who' Batd'Tie' would speak freely if his name were not used, it was learned that the State convention of that party will be held about September 1. The Republican said : "Eaves wants to be the nominee for Governor. Be will not be if a man like W. P. liynuni will accept the nomination. Eavcscaught his party's vote, but he has not the strength in convention he thinks he 1ms. This he will discover. Mott will certainly antag onize him, There is no truth in tho re port that Mott and Eaves have made friends. Logo Harris, I). L. Russell, W. S. O'Brien Robinsonjand Dr. Mott will have a "ghost dance" at Wrightsvillc this week. They arc conferring ou party needs. Tbe western Republicans demand the State convention, and they are the men who have secured it. The negroes also want a convention, but they do not amount to much. They want a chance at any "boodle" that may be limiting around. I have a letter from a Republican of prom inence to-day, in which he says we must get rid of both Mott and Eaves, and that tlieir ouiiirels are ruining the party, so that new men must be takemup. Indi vidually 1 oppose the idea tlrthe State convention, but it is a certainty now. If Eaves thrusts himself to the front there Will be a division. I hnvc heard some of the Mott faction say if he did so they would have a convention aud put up a ticket also." Some of the papers have published a statement that ex-Editor Joscphus Dan iels had made an attempt to buy the Progressive Farmer, Mr. Denmark, of that paper, says the statement is un founded. The railway commission has received an application by citizens of Abbotts burg for a depot at that point on tbe Carolina Central Railway. In 18U1 there was listed for taxation by the Wilmington ifc Weldon Railway iu Nov Hanover county 205,205 solvent credits and $020,000 in shares in joint stock associations, incorporated com panies, railway, telegraph and bridge companies. This year this property was not listed for taxation. Toan inquiry why it was not listed, President AVarren G. Elliott writes the following letter ; "The several Items of personal property which were returned to the list taker of New Hanover county and the city of Wilmington for taxation in June, 18!)1, were subsequently, in No vember, 1801, by order of the board of directors of the company, with the ap proval of the stockholders, sold, trans ferred and delivered to the purchasers and the proceeds of such sale were dis tributed among the stockholders of the company, so that in June, 1802, when the returns were required to be made, the Wilmington & Weldon Railway Com pany did not own or have any interest iu any of the personal property subject to taxation under the provision of the charter which ought to have been re turned to the list taker." The youngest child of Revenue Col lector E. A. White, died to-day, and its body was taken to JUizabetn City for bu rial. The rains set in again yesterday and are very heavy. Tomorrow the trustees of the State Normal and Industrial College for girls meets at Greensboro to elect a matron and household officers, and also to fill the chair of stenography, telegraphy and tyiMj-writine.

Gov. rattlson Carnegie's Representa tive Firm, .-'if Homestead, Pa., July 11. At a "meet ing today of the advisory committee of the workmen, at which were present president-elect Garland, and secretary elect Kilgamon, of the Amalgamated As sociation, it was decided to appoint a committee to go among the workmen and advise them to make no demonstra tions of hostility, or evrr "disapproval , when the troop! arrive. 1 he members of this committee started out on their mis sion immediately after they were select ed, and carried out the instructions given them. They impressed upon the work men the necessity for peaceful conduct and told them that they must be guided by the advice of the leaders who would not neglect thoir iuteresta in any Homestead, l a., J uly 11. -it my spe cial policemen have been appointed and the force will be increased to 200, to maintain order in' the borough of Home stead, which does not include the Carne gie works. Homestead, Pa., July 11. A mounted miner rode into town this afternoon from the six mile ferry and reported that 4,000 miners from the Allegheny Valley were gathering, aud all intended to come here to aid the strikers. The man' reported that 2,000 of them were armed with Springfield rillcs and that they would come here at once to fight the militia or any other body of men that attempted to down the Homestead men. He said that the miners believed that" if the mill men here are crushed into submission it would be a severe blow to all organized labor, and the miners are willing to go to, any extreme to aseist the Homestead men. The messenger returned to the men whom he represented with a reply, said to be an acceptance of the oiler of the miners, but the exact nature of the reply could not be learned. Homust KAD, Pa,, July 11. More men were seen on the streets to-day than any day since the trouble began. They gath ered in groups of twenty or "thirily aud discussed the coming of the troops, in serious tones. Down near tbe big fence ou the Homestead side of tbe Carnegie property, and along the tracks of the Pittsburg, McKeesport ifc Y'ougbiogheny Railroad, Which runs through the "prop erty, fully one thousand meu were gath ered about noon. Numbers of men from just outside Homestead, who were among tbe former employees of the mills, came to town to team what tbe coming of the troops meant, and what the programme for the future would be. There it no question but that people are leaving town in considerable numbers. Those who can conveniently get away for a few days, are taking advantage of tbe opportunity to put a safe distance between themselves and any danger that may arise. None, however, expect any dilliculty at pres ent. The question as to the disposition of tbe arms anil ammunition now in the possession of the mill bauds is causing them some anxiety. It is known that several hundred Winchester rillcs were taken from the captured Pinkcrtons, and relics of the strike three years ago are iu the hands of the men, and it is reported that there is not only a large quantity of ammunition stored at convenient points, but that dynamite is alBO in their posses sion. What Major Goneral Snowden will do concerning the large quantity of ammu nition which the loeked-out meu have at their disposal, is also a question incident td the consideration of the matter. The quantity of powder and shot con cealed in aud about Homestead is sulli cient to supply a small army in a warm battle. Nearly every workman has a weapon of some kind. It is hardly to be supposed that General Snowden will allow these stores to remain in the pos session of the workmen, if he ascertains their whereabouts, and it is almost cer tain that he will be informed of the places where they are concealed. Such nlormatiou will be easily obtainable and the General will 1)6 obliged to act. Fric tion with tbe strikers in this connection may cause trouble. To take away their arms and ammunition would be to them a virtual defeat and they are not in that calm condition which will allow them to accept such a radical change with equan imity. While the correspondence between Sheriff McCleary and Governor Pattisou apparently show the reason that indueed the Governor in ordering out tbe troops, another view is held by some of the leaders. They think that the rumors, from many points, of active recruiting of men for the Piukerton service, and the belief among the strikers that Piukerton men are assembling near Homestead, ih -duced the Governor to take action. The leaders profess to be certain that Pinker ton Bpies are In town, and this belief 1b borne out by the recognition here yester day of one of Pinkertou's chiefs, a man who has been in the service of the agen cy for many years. The tug "Tide," which con veyed the ill-fated barges loaded with Pinkqrton men up from Pittsburg put in an appearance again this after noon. She came up the river,, to the ferry .landing below the Carnegie proper ty, and lay out in the stream for some tune. No attempt was made to land at the works, and tbe tug finally went dow n stream, without having accomplished anything except to reconnoiter the groups of guards still in possession along the river. Mr. Friok Decline to Treat The Mill Man ager' Plan for the Future. Pitt sac io, Pa., July 11. Secretary Lovejoy, of the Carnegie Steel Company said to the Uuited Press reporter this morning that the peace committee ap pointed by the employees in the Union Mills at their meeting last evening called on Mr. Frick this morning. They were received and presented requests that Mr. Frick would re-open negotiation with the Amalgamated Association officials at Homestead anu asiteu ior an early con ference. Mr. Frick positively declined to treat with the law-breakers at Home stead. The committee quietly withdrew. In answer to the question : "What wttlbo yournextTnove aftcTth-militia are quartered at Homestead r Mr. Love joy said: "I cannot answer that in de tail of course. We have our plans out lined. We first want possession ; then we win starts tne worns. - w lee-i satis. fled that fully two-thirds of our old em ployes at Homestead will go back to work as soon as we can assure them of protection. We will then flit the places ot the leaders andthe other turbulent with outside men. We have applications from about 8,000 outside new peoplo, for employment, at Homestead, but peaceful citizens of Homestead will be given the preference: The leaders will then be ta ken care of by the distfitf attorney, We do not intend to employ anymore Pink erton men, but 1 do not care to discuss our plans for our future protection, in event of the National Guard being re moved earlier than;' rln .our judgment, might be thought advisable."

' Homkstead, Pa., July 11 The state ment this morning of Secretary Lovejoy, of the Carnegie Company, that koJooked for a large number of the locked-out men returning to work at the company's scale when the National Guard assumes con trol of the town and mills, is not the feoliflii that pervades the atmusphere'of .Honi69.tftd, It.ciiii X'-C -.poflills sly. ..elated. that the strikers do-not even consider such a turn in events. They aro united in the determination to keep up tho fight, and Mr. Lovejoy's optimistic expecta tions arc greeted with derisive remarks. Rumors of the attempt on the part of the Carnegie Company to secure non-iittioB-workmen in -Richmond- and other places in Virginia, have caused many muttcrings of a vindictive character aud these assume open threats when it is mentioned that tho majority of the men secured to take the places ot the locked out men arc negroes. WONDKHFl'L CHANUK IN SENTIMENT The Militia to be Kecelved With Open Anns tlov. Patteraou Applauded. Homestead, Pa., July 11. The mass meeting of the locked out workers, held at the Homestead riuk this afternoon for the purpose of considering the reception of the militia, effected, a remarkable change in the condition of popular feel ing. Those who were radical in their utterances against the coming of the Na tional Guard stood iu their places and cheered when it was decided to receive the militia . witli open arms. All tbe speeches were conciliatory in iheir- ,Uuie and an era of law and order found its iu J ception. Every sent in the spacious rink building was filled and many persons had to stand. About six hundred were present. Hugh O'Donitcll, of the ad visory committee of the Amalgamated Association, called the meeting ro or der aud invited members of the ad visory commiltee and newspaper nien to seats on tbe stage; Referring' to the newspaper representatives in Homestead, he said they were the people who were with the locked out men and had won for them the sympathy of the entire people of the I'niled States. The cheers that follow ed this announcement sounded strange iu the ears of the meu, ' who had, despite theiefforts of the advisory com mittee, suffered indignities at the hands of some of those who joined iu tbe cheering. Mr. O'Donuell called on Burgess Mc Luckic to preside. The burgess spoke words of sound advice and his words seemed almost inspired iu their fervent utterance. "We are a little anxious about the reception of our friends the militia," lie said. "Some think their coining bodes danger. They are not dangerous so long as the dignity and honor of the State is not insulted. We must arrange for their cordial reception. Every man, woman and child should re ceive them with open arms. In the in terest of humanity 1 think we should do this." Eulogistic reference to Governor Patti sou brought forth cheers. "This man Pattisou is acting quietly and rightly, said the burgess. lie understands our xisitiou. He does not cajcr to monopo ies. I say Robert E. Pattisou will not permit insults to the people of Home stead and surrounding country." Great applause followed. lhe burc-esa said the I inkertons were conceiitr.'itmir their forces and he real ized that when their hireling hordes struck the shores of Homestead there must be bloodshed. "Every one knows," he said, "that the blow struck against the Piukerton agency by the men of Homestead was the greatest it has e cr received." "We'll give them another," shouted a workman. Continuing, the burgess, characterized tho Pinkertons as a dirty, stinking or ganization. He struck a responsive cnoru in ins audience ana encers ioi- lowed his scathing utterances. " Your friends are about to come," he said in reference to the militia "the safest, the best people that can come. We don't want Pinkertons here. We want the militia. Pattisou wants to defend Hie people, the State, her constitution and her laws. He is the most noble and manly of men. I stand here to say that any man who insults life militia shall be taken to the river and. ducked. (Laugh ter.) But 1 know you won't allow tbinj; of this sort." At this point a workman moved that any man who offered insults to the mili tia should be ducked in the river, and the motion went through with a whoop. .. ...The burgessUhen, went on to tell of ar: raiigements for receiving the militia. The best plan, he said, was to get out the Homestead band. Applause greeted an announcement that the band had already volunteered to go. The burgess directed the president of each workmen's lodge to notify the mem bers to be ready to form in a body and receive the militia when they arrived. One, workman suggested that measures be taken to prevent the militiamen from committing breaches of the peace but tho suggestion received scant recognition and was allowed to drop. Concerning order in tho town the burgess said he had been swearing in special policemen all day and that he would issue a proclama tion directing all strangers to keep away during tho reception ol the militia. "We do not want from 25,000 to lO.OOO people here for we can't look out for- them," he said.- "Hold yourselves in readiness to form and receive the military," were his concluding words. Mr. O'Dounell called on John M.Car ter, a newspaper reporter, to tell what Governor Pattisou had said to him last night, about the peoplo of Homestead. "The Governor," said Mr. Carter, "told him that the people of Homestead were the most intelligent and honest people in Pennsylvania. They had not done $25, 000' worth of damaure to the Cameirie property:'1"" Whcnbc-talkcd twith the Governor the latter told him there was a probability of sending troops to Home stead. 'Tthmklilg'reasonTor doing jo,"" said Mr. Carter, "was because he believed the Pinkertons were massing and he wanted to protect the people of Home stead, and not others." The death of Kate Castletou, the well known actress, is reported from Provi dence. , SHALL IT OPEN ON SUNDAY? TDK SENATE AND the WOKLD'S FAIR. Grave Senator Wrestle I'tmvulllngly with ' the Sunday Cloning Uneltoii Mr Wash.' , burne on thoAntl-Oltlon Bill. " Washington, July -11. 8f.na'1e; Mr. Peffer, Farmers' Alliance.of Kansas, offered a joint resolution, .to lie on the table, liming the terra of office of tho President of the United States to one one term. ' Mr. Quay, Republican, of Pennsylva nia, presentcnteu to tho Senate, In older that it might be be printed in the Record, the statement of the employeos at Home stead. 1 ..... Mr. Butler, Democrat, of South Caro lina, having obtained the floor on the bill transferring the revenue marine from the Treasury Department to tho Navy Department asked unanimous osent to, lay it aside temporarily in order that he might yield the floor to the Senator from Minnesota (Mr. Washburn) to ad dress the Senate ou the anti-option bill, Mr. Cockrcll, Democrat, of Mlssoufr""' Btrwervcr, -objected, and a partiamcnf,-1 tangio arose, Mr. Allison wishing a Senate to go ou with tho considerate of the sundry civil bill from the point where the discussion ceased on Satur day. Sir. Butler, with some feeling, declar ed that Mr. Cockrcll must take the con setiueiicebf'liK "cdtWTr'tlie?oliy'a'g"' propriation bills were obstructed. He could not consent to the displacement of the revenue marine bill but was perfect ly willing it should be laid aside infor mally by unanimous consent. Mr. Cockrcll being appealed to by Mr. Chandler, and Mr. Harris, Democrat, of Tennessee, finally consented to withdraw his objection until 2 o'clock. Mr. Washburn thereupon addre-sed the Senate on the anti-option bill. He said the bill now sent over from the House of Representatives, known as the Hatch bill, was substantially the same as the bill introduced iu the Senate by himself. It wUS iiol ileSlgliea Ut interfere With le gitimate trade but simply to prevent gambling iu food or agricultural pro ducts. The gamblers had lost no oppor tunity of creating false impressions as to the purpose of the bill, iu order to enlist the bankers and the merchants on their side to give respectability to tlieir pro tests. It is not the purpose of the bill to interfere with the bargain or purchase ol property where tbe party wa.- the "ivnc or hud a contract to acquire po.-,setMoii of the same. It-did not seek, in any way, to interfere with legitimate commerce, but it was directed against that gigantic modem innoyiitiou known as "dealing In futures," a system under which; by mis representation and tricks of iiaJr. nic'. fraud, it was possible to juggle values and practically to eliminate from the com mercial world the laws of supply and de maud, by the most pernicious system that the wit and skill of man had ever been able to devise. Next to wheat, cotton, he believed, had suffered most severely by the operations of the market -wreckers. Mr. Washburn asserted that the great millionaires of the country, al uioat without exception, had notxreated or earned their wealth. Stock and grain gambling, .market-wrecking, railroad Wrecking, and all Hie nefarious .methods brought into play during the past 25 years, had produced these enormous and uuwhoWjKoneH accretions of weaith. At the close of Mr. Washburn's speech, the sundry civil bill was again taken up. The pending question was Mr. Quay's amendment to close the World's I1 air on Sunday. Mr. Mauderson, Republican, of Ne braska, moved as an amendment to strike out the word "Sabbath day" and to in sert a proviso (that the mechanical portion of the exposition should be closed on the lirst day of the week, com monly called Sunday. Mr. I'ettigrew, of South Dakota, chair man of the committee on quadro ce'iteu nial, said the feeling was general in the country that the managers did not intend to close the exposition ou Sunday and advocated stringent legislation bv Con gress to compel Sunday closing. . Mr, Sanders, Rcpubic.a.iu.uL Montana, spoke strongly on the othr side. ,lle said that every gambler aud saloon keeper in the city of Chicago hoped this proviso would be inserted in the bill so that the hundreds of thousand of visi tors should be turned loose on the streets of the city to become a prey to all the wickedness there, to be found. He should move to lay both Mr. Quay's resolution and Mr. Mamlerson's amendment on the table. Mr. Vest said at the proper time he should move an amendment providing that if the commission should decide to open tbe exposition on Sunday the ma chinery should be stopped, and there should be an entire cessation of all un necessary labor on the part of the em ployes and attendants, and further that it should be the duty of tho commission to provide a suitable hall for religious services and to issue invitations without discrimination to the different denomina tions of the United States to hold reli gious exercises that opportunity should be given to every sect and faith. He be lieved it was desirable, even m the inter est of religion and morality, to keep the exposition partially open ou Sunday. Mr. Cullom, Kepublicun, of Illinois, said that lie was informed by the presi dent of the commission that a meeting of the commission was to be held in Chi cago in October to determine the rules and regulations by which the World's Fair will be governed. It seemed to him, therefore, in view of this fact, that it would be wise for Congress to post pone action on this matter till its mod ule in December. Mr. Hawley, Republican, of Connec ticut, said there was no longer any dis guise about the matter. Unless this pro viso was inserted in the bill, the exposi tion would be opened on Sunday. If Congress failed to provide for the closing of the exposition on Sunday, it would grieve ten millions of people and would open the flood gates for incalculable mis chief. Mr. Peffer, Farmers' Alliance, of Kan sas, said although all the States in the Union had laws requiring the observance of Sunday, none of them enforced them. Senators themselves, though now en gaged in a theological discussion, re ceived their mail twice every Sunday, and went on their little private excur sions down the river or elsewhere. A great deal of this talk of ours about ob servance of Sunday was sheer hypocricy.

Montuiubon, July 11. M Dlebler; popularly and facetiously known as M. de Paris, the public executioner, arrived here from Park at 5 o'clock Sunday evening, and at once began preparations forihe execution of the notorious Rava chol. The scaffold was erected In a pub lic place, about sixty metres from the prison. . ; - Bavaehol could plainly hear the car 'enteis "at work id its" Construction. Abmu'4 o-fcrocrtrnf mofntfig' Ravacliol, who hud fallen asleep iu suite of his knowledge that his death was imminent, was aroused, and notified that his time had come. He assumeiJffSn air of brava do, and made a mocking reply. lie rudely refused the religious offices ten dered by the prison priest. When his toilet TO nnlslictt W ulimented laugh ingly upon his dudish appearance as being somewhat out of place on such an occasion. After he had been securely bound, M. Berger, assistant to "M do Paris," cut away the prisoner's collar aud shaved off his back hair. Ravacliol joked with those around him and indulged in pro fane and indecut comments, but instead of creating the desired impression of in difference, he showed plainly that he was feverishly excited and hardly knew what he was saying. These preparations com pleted, the prisoner was led forth from the prison, placed in the prison van and tlUlflpl tolliC plate Of EXetUtlup Mound which a cordon of troops had been drawn. When the prison van reached the scaf fold Ravacliol was asked if he desired to say anything. He replied that he would address the crowd, but instead of speak ing he began to sing an indecent song, aud danced to the refrain as well as he could, w ilh his ankles strapped. The officers in charge soon tired of 'Ins burlesque and gave the signal to M. Ue Paris. The executioner's assistants at once seized Ravacliol, whereupon the bitter's demeanor suddenly changed. He dropped his assumption of indifference, and struggled furiously, but was speedily overpowered and borne to the fatal block. Even while being tied down on the plank he continued his futil struggles, uttering meanwhile the fouleBt epithets and curses. The indecent aud blasphemous tirade was cut short by the swift descent of the knife, and at seven minutes past 4 o'clock the head of the notorious robber, incen diary and murderer rolled into the bas ket. The crowd witnessed tho horrible sight with the same stolid indifference that bad characterized thoir conduct throughout. There was none of the hil.irity common to Parisian .crowds on such occasions, and it was evident that no anarchistic sympathy was felt for the man who had pretended to commit his crimes in the interest of the people. lUvachol was one of the most extra ordinary criminals of the ago. IHh first murder was that of the Hermit of Cham bles, Brother Jacques Brunei, in the month of dune, 18H1. Brunei was an old man of 00, who lived in a state of soli tude amidst the Froez mountains. The object was robbery. Rachovel was ar rested but escaped, hix weeks later he killed and robbed two ladies at St Eti- enne. lie escaped without being arrest ed. About the same time he robbed the grave ot Haroness tie Itoedetailles, near St. Etienne. In 1MH0, near La Varizelle, ie killed an old man of 80, Jean llaptiato Rivollier, noted for ujs charity. He also killed an old woman, servant of Rivollier. Besides these crimes he was suspected of many others, previous to his dynamite operation in Paris, which caused the loss t several lives, aud dcst!:u.dUou...of much property.
