Raleigh, April 27, 1895
Last evening the Republican
city nominating convention met
in the court house. The meet
ing was gay and there was much
fun and excitement. Thisas the
case however with all Republi
can conventions. "Logan" Har
ris occupied the chair. There
was nothing done that caused
any suprise. Wynne was nomin
ated for mayor and Alford tax
collector, as I wrote you they
would be; Merrit, on the slate for
clerk, declined a unanimous nom
ination and Thos. J. Jinkins was
then nominated.
A strong effort is being made
to whip in the bolting Repub
licans in the 4th ward. As it
looks now, they won't whip. This
may decide the election. It is
useless to say that the vote will
not be a close one; there is a
split in the Democratic ranks in
the 3rd and the Republican 4th
ward row greatly encourages
Democrats.
The mass meeting held last
evening to rouse enthusiasm in
the Confederate monument cele
bration on the 20tb of May, was
a success. Among the speakers
were Col. Oc avius Coke, Dr.
Batchelor, Chas. M. Busbee,
Col. T. S. Kenan, N. B. Brough
ton S. A. Ashe and Captain
C. B. Denson. All spoke well
and with patriotic vim. The atten
dance was not as large as ex
pected. While the speeches were
being made the Gove: nor's Guard
in full uniform, marched into the
hall m a body. Mr. jJusoee,who ;

Mrs. A. N. Knox, the wife of
a prominent Raleigh physician,
late yesterday afternoon per
formed an act of cool heroism
that was trulv wonderful. A
horse, frightened by a car, ran
away. The driver was thrown
from the wTagon, and the horse
breaking from the harness,
dashed down a sidewalk at full
speed. With their backs turned
to the animal's wild rush, four
little children were stand uncon
scious of their danger. Mrs.
Knox rushed to them and suc
ceeded in pushing them out of
danger while the horse was only
a few feet distant. She had no
time to save herself by flight so
pulling off her hat, she waved it
in the face of the frightened
horse almost upon her and caused
him to shy from the sidewalk.
The horse tramped upon and
broke a bicycle which a little girl
had dropped when she realized
her danger.

THERE IS OlHIXG NEW OF HOLLAND
Officers Led off on a False Scent. The
Shortage Now Reaches $75,000. Chief
Orr Made a Special Deputy Marshal.
Ciarlotte Observer.
Business goes along as it was
wont to at the Merchants' and
Farmers' National Bank, and
Examiner Miller is still dili
gently at work. But there are
no tidings of Jas. R. Holland,
the defaulting and missing
cashier. Speculation is rife.
Some figure him in New York,
others in Texas, others still in
Mexico and many believe he is in
Charlotte or its vicinity still.
The officers are working every
clue. Yesterday morning a negro
reported that Holland had tried
to engage him to drive him (Hol
land) Tuesday night to the home
of his brother-in-law, Mr. Alfred
Kirkpatrick, in Sharon town
ship, but that he was afraid and
declined to do so; but that he saw
Holland get in a buggy at his
home, Tuesday night, and drive
away toward Sharon. Upon this
information Marshal Allison and
Police Sergeant Baker went to
Sharon yesterday and made
every investigation, finding noth
ing except that the story was
false.
It is as much a question how
the ex-cashier got away, if he is
gone, as it is whether or not he
is gone. By rail, buggy, horse
back or on foot? Both of his
horses are still here and the
knowledge of this fact explodes
the theory that he rode away on
one of these.
Yesterday Chief of Police Orr
was sworn in as a special deputy
United States marshal, and a du
plicate warrant for Holland was
placed in his hands:
Even before the fire of yester
day, which gave the people some
thing else sensational to think
and talk about, interest in this
notable case had perceptibly sub
sided and something of its nor-
quietude had settled upon
the town.
People had measurably ceased
to interrogate each other for
news about the case, and doubt
less this subsideno.fi nf interest
will continue until a new sensa
tion shall spring out of the arrest
of the fugitive if that is ever
accomplished.
The shortage in his accounfs
is found to be in the
neighbor-
hood of $75,000.
Marshal Allison left yesterday
afternoon for his home at States-
ville and District Attorney
Glenn will leave this morning.
Mr. Thos. Grier was yester
day elected treasurer of the
church committee, in place of
Mr. Holland.
BIG DEFALCATION
By the Late Paul Schulze, Land Agent of
the Northern Pacific K. R.
Tacoma, Wash., April 24.-
Instead of a few thousand dollars
as was first supposed, the defal
cation of the late Paul Schulze,
who was land agent of the North
ern Pacific road, will amount to
500,000, and may be more by
$200,000 according to the report
of the experts who .are engaged
in examining the accounts of the
road. The shortage and disap
pointment in love are believed to
have led to his suicide. A fare
well letter to Marie Wainwright,
the actress, was found on his
person, and the statement is
made by his friends that he had
played the part of the lover to
wards her for some time, but the
collapse of her divorce proceed
ing's placed an obstacle in the
way of the marriage of the ac
tress and Schulze, who obtained
a divorce from his German wife
about three years ago.
Fire in Charlotte.
Charlotte, N. C, April 25,
One of the severest fires in the
history of Charlotte, occurred
mis aiternoon. The immense
brick warehouse of S. Sanders
and Blackwood on College street
was discovered to be ablaze at
3.30 o'clock in the third story of
the portion occupied by the
hardware Company of Brown,
eaamgton x jo. i ne room
was stored, with wagons and
wooden goods. The building
could not be saved and the fire
broe out soon after in the
part of the building occupied by
the cotton brokerage arm of
Mo well, urr x km., which was
burned, as also the stores of
Harrison Watts, W. R. Burwell
and H. G. Springs. The stores

ANO STILL IT GOES ON.
Another Bank Cashier Loots a Bank In
This State. It is in Roxboro This Time.
Cashier In Jail.
(Special Telegram to The Argus()
Raleigh, April 27.
When the steal of $2,500 from
the bank of Roxboro, reported to
be by robbers, became known
here, State Treasurer Worth
sent bank examiner Palmer at
once to Roxboro j to investigate
thoroughly thei circumstances
surrounding the case and the
condition of the bank.
A telegram from Palmer this
evening reports grave irregula
rities discovered in the affairs of
the bank and that its doors have
been closed, and that for the ir
regularities its cashier, Jones,
has been committed to jail, and
the intimation and growing
opinion is that he himself is the
robber.
THE LABORING MEN'S
EST.
INTER
As the Atlanta Journal well
says, and with much force, no
class of our people have a more
direct interest in the currency
question than the wage-earners.
They constitute the largest class
of our entire population. Of the
22,000,000 people in this country
engaged in work in all callings,
trades and professions about 7,-
000,000 are wage-earners in
manufacturing, mining, tran
sportation, building and other
industries, not including agri
culture. To these 7,000,000 must
be added the millions of clerks
and other employes who are de
pendent on the earnings of their
labor.
Those who make up this great
part of our population have es
pecial reason to fear the con
sea uences of a depreciated cur
rency. They would feel its
damaging effects first and would
be its most helpless victims.
Should silver monometallism
prevail all these people will be
paid in depreciated currency,
and until they received two dol
lars for every dollar they get
now, they would lose by the
change.
The decline of prices has made
their wages and salaries more
potent in providing the neces
saries and comforts of life. With
every dollar they receive they
can buy more now than they
ever could before. They must
know that there would be no
commensurate increase of wages
with the establishment of the
single silver standard.
In a recent address to the citi
zens association of Burlington,
la.. Mr. W. W. Baldwin referred
to the compensation of wages
here and in Mexico, a silver
standard country, and said xhat
if the nominal rate of wages
should remain the same under
silver monometallism, as it pro
bably would, wage-earners in
this country would receive one-
half what they get now. The St.
Louis Republic remarks :
'Such is silver monometallism
to the workingman. Up to 1893
free comaere was not construed
by any of its recognized advo
cates to be silver monometallism
Those advocates would have in
dignantly disclaimed any desire
to measure wages by a Mexican
or Chinese standard. The blun
der some of them made in' Au
gust 1893 forces them now to ask
the American workingman to
ioin in reducing the standard of
wages to a silver basis though
tbev are impotent to show him
how he can double the dollars he
receives or each day or each
week of labor. i
'The silver monometallist did
not exist or was not heard from
before 1873. He was silent or
called himself agreenbacker be
tween 1873 and 1893. In 1893
the billionaires with their money
to spend for a protected market
came to the front and carried a
considerable number ' with., them
who did not take" time to leaan
that a principle was being ' sacri
ficed.
"Workingmen of all men
should center-their strength to
prevent a Mexicanization - of the
standard of wage payments. "-
It must not be f orgotteii that
in a rise of prices labor is about
the last thing , to go up. With
the same wages they get now. 7,
000,000 people in this country
would have a good time , paying
twice as much as they now pay
for everything they buy.
This is what silver monome
tallism would drive them to.
The poor man's dollar should
be an honest dollar.
TRADE AND FINANCE.
There has been no reaction as
vet from the ereneral advance in
prices reported last week and re
gularly now for several weeks.
Petroleum has declined, but that
was to be expected after the ex
citement that attended its sud
den advance to the highest price
it had sold at in many years.
The general tendency, however,
is still upward. Wheat, corn
and cotton are higher. Dry
goods cost more now than they
did a week ago. Iron has moved
up a peg. In some cases declines
may follow, but they will be
chiefly in the speculative markets
and of short duration. It would
take another panic to put prices
back to the figures of three
months ago, and that we are not
going to have.
Whatever may be thought
among the silver monometallists
of President Cleveland's Chicago
letter, it strengthened the Lon
don market for American secur
ities. They are advancing in
price and are more in demand
than they have been heretofore
in many months. The opinion
that our financial and business
troubles are over prevails every
where except in spots here and
there. Unfortunately, a few
sections of the country are still
under the pessimistic influence
of the calamity howlers. That
business has improved immense
ly and is growing better every
day is shown by the advance in
prices on an active market, Dy
increased bank clearings; by the
restoration of ante-panic wages
in Eastern mills and factories;by
the increased production of pig
iron and Bessemer steel; by
larger railway traffic; by the in
crease of business reported by
jobbers and manufacturers; by
the building activity in St. Louis,
Chicago, New York and other
commercial centers, and by the
increase of gold coin in the coun
try at a season of the year when
gold exports are ordinarily very
heavy.
The Financial Chronicle re
ports an increase of 2.33 per cent.
in the receipts ot 81 railroads m
the first week of April. The re
port for the second week is less
favorable, but it covers only 45
lines. When complete a sub
stantial gain will probably be
shown. The latest returns from
the St. Louis lines are favorable,
with a couple of exceptions. The
Baltimore and Ohio Southwest
ern reports a good increase, as
do also the Big Four and Clover
Leaf. The Wabash had an in
crease of $17,000 in the second
week of the month and, of course,
the Southwestern lines report
big gains, as usual. The Frisco
is the only one not in the list.
but it is expected there as soon
as it reports. It gained nearly
$10,000 the first week of the
month.
A Florida Tragedy.
Ormond, Fla., April 25. Yes
terday's shooting affray bet veen
Jeff Hagan and "Judge" Roland
has resulted in a tragedy. Both
men were shot yesterday in a
quarrel about the discharge of
Koland by Hagan. Koland, who
is a burly negro of rather bad
reputation, has been at his house
in Liberia, the negro suburb of
Ormond, since he was shot. To
day Sheriff Kurtz came fron De-
land to arrest him and was ac
companied by Sheriff Hagan, of
Putnam county, the latter a
brother of Jeff Hagan. The two
officers were watching Roland's
house to prevent his escape
while they waited for a warrant
for his arrest. While they were
passing near the house Roland,
from an open door, opened fire
with a W inchester. The first
shot hit Kurtz, striking him in
the side and passing through the
chest. Death, followed in a few
minutes. feheritl tiagan was
prompt to act and shot at Roland
several times, disabling him at
the first shot. He died within
an hour. Koland s house was
found to be quite an arsenal, be
ing supplied with firearms and
ammunition.
Nicaragua Trouble.
London, April 26. The West
minister Gazette asserts that the
enforcement of the British de
mands upon Nicaragua will not
be put into effect by Rear Ad
miral Stephenson, commanding
the British war-ships at Corinto,
until midnight to-night. No
confirmation of this statement,
however, can be obtained at the
Foreign Office.
Nerve vs. Nervousness. 4
New Orleans, La., April 26
Capt. Wm. H. Beanham, agent
for the Mill Creek Distilling Com
pany, ana lor the past six years
a member of the New Orleans
board of police commissioners
committed suicide this morning
at Long Beach, a summer resort
on Lake Ponchartain, while suf
f ering f rom nervous prostration.
Two Men Killed.
Montgomery, Ala., April 26.
A special to the Advertiser from
Selma, Ala., says: A terrible
duel occurred here to-day. It
was the outcome of a feud which
has existed between the Dudleys
and their iriends on one side and
the Haynes and friends on the
other for years. Numerous fights
and shooting scrapes have oc
curred between the parties, but
none have been as serious as the
one to-day. About two weeks
ago "Sonk" Dudley and James
Minters had a fight in which
Dudley was shot and seriously
wounded.
Minters gave himself up to the
sheriff and was to have had his
preliminary trial in Selma to
day. This attracted many friends
from both sides to town. Among
them was Robert Browning, a
nephew of James Minters, and
Ed Dudley, son of "Sonk" Dud
ley. These two were the prin
cipals in to-day's fight. Brown
ing and Dudley entered Henry
Cassin's store and each passed
separately to the rear. Those in
front soon heard the words : ' 'If
you want anything you can get
it." Both drew pistols and be
gan firing. The firing was rapid
and both men sank to the floor.
An instant later both raised
themselves partially from the
floor, and drawing pistols con
tinued firing. The sheriff hear
ing the shots went in. Both men
were stretched on the floor, their
feet touching. Browning was
dead and Dudley was gasping for
breath. Browning had been hit
five times, the fatal shot entering
just back of the ear, three others
had entered his wrist and one his
stomachr. Dudley was carried to
the hospital, and when he was
Temoved from the cot two balls
which had passed through him
fell to the floor. When the sher
iff reached the scene E. H. Sneed
was in the act of firing, presum
ably at Dudley, as he was a clerk
tor Jirowning. Joe Dudley, an
uncle of Ed., rushed in, and
when examined, two balls were
missing from his pistol. Sneed
was afterwards arrested, and on
his person were two pistols, one
of which was empty.
Later dispatches from Selma
say that the two Dudleys, Joe
and Ed., entered three stores on
Water street and passed back to
the rear for water. It was evi
dent that they were looking for
some one. When they reached
Cassin's store the younger one,
Ed., passed in, brushing against
owning and went to the rear,
Browning followed and- some
words passed, when the firing
began. Joe Dudley rushed in
and fired three balls into the
prostrate body of Browning. As
he did that Sneed fired at him
four times, but missed every
shot. When Dudley was taken
to the hospital and his wounds
examined, the doctors said there
was but one chance in a thousand
for him to survive by resort
to an operation. He said he
would take that chance, but died
before it was completed. It was
found that his bowels were
pierced in twenty-two places and
his liver in three. Browning was
22 years old and unmarried.
Dudley was 33 years', and leaves
a wire ana two emidren. joe
Dudley and Sneed are both in
jail. As near as can be ascer
tained 22 shots were fired. Eight
pistols were taken from the par
ties engaged in the fight.
Fearful Ilail Storm.
St. Liouis, April zo. A spe
cial to the Clironicle from San
Antonio, Texas, says that Mea
particulars have reached
there of a terrible hail storm
that swept through adjoining
counties last evening. A cour
ier arrived this morning from
the town of Lyttle, twelve miles
south of San Antonio, and re
ports that town and a strip of
country five miles wide, extend
inp; through Wilson, Bexar and
Medina counties, completely de
vastated by the storm. The
damage to corn and cotton crops
alone is estimated at $50,000
while the damage to buildings
will amount . to not less than
$150,000.'
The storm came from the
northwest, and the hail stones
came down by the million for 20
minutes, covering the ground to
the depth of two feet. The hai
stones were as large as hen eggs
and the International and Great
Northern railroad was blockaded
with them. Section hands had
to clear the track before trains
could be run over that part of the
line
The hail stones came down
with such terrible force that
they made sieves out of frame
houses. Large numbers of live
stock were killed.
The storm did great damage to
property at Castorville, Lacroste
Eagle Lake and iienton Uity
but no particulars have yet been
received, from those places
There was no loss of life so far
as reported, although many per
sons were injured by the awfu
impact ot the, hail stones.
BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT.
Don't believe those who tell
you that the country is in a
worse condition man it was a
year ago and that the tendency
is downward instead or upward.
Look at the facts fairly and in
telligently, and you will see how
the calamity howlers are misre
presenting them.
The New York Times says:
' Tt , was predicted one week
ago that the restoration of the
old rate of wages at r the Fall
River Iron works Hills (cotton
goods) by President M. C. D.
Borden would soon be followed
by similar action on the part of
the other manufacturers in the
same city. That prediction has
been fulfilled. On the 16th inst
there was a meeting of the Cot
ton Manufacturers' Association
of Fall River, and in six minutes
an order was passed res tori
the rate of wages paid before the
reduction of August 20, 1894. The
increase, which takes effect to
day, is 12 per cent., and it af
fects 25,000 employes.
This action was followed the
next day by a general restoration
of the wages paid before last Au-
ers of New Bedford, and here, it
is reported, 25,000 operatives are
affected by the advance."
Thus in two days in these two
localities alone the wages of 50, -000
employes were increased sub
stantially. The increase of
wages in the whole country since
tne beginning of this year has
applied to hundreds of thousands
of workingmen and women. In
nearly every instance the in
crease has been voluntary.
1 hese facts prove that manu
facturers and business are flour
ishing under the new tariff and
that the claim that the condition
of the cui c .icy is unfavo able to
industrial development is un
founded. From every business centre
comes cheering reports. The com
mercial agei cies and tr e great
business houses declare that the
outlook is encouraging and that
a great revival in trade has al
ready set in.
lhe St. Louis Republic says:
"The cou iry is full of favor
able business indications. The
ong depression is at s,n c id and
Qvery oody except the politician
is aai. ous to rene y regular
comrne "c at activity.
If toe currency is not perfect
and it is not by a great deal
it is at least safe just now. The
treasury, after traveling close to
monometallic silver redemp
tion for a year, has abundant re
sources for maintaining its cir
culating notes at their present
value. The country needs rest
rather than alarms and the
alarms which will make doubt
ful again the ability of the secre
tary to nee d a gold reserve are
those whveh are most dreaded.
Prices are going up. The poli
ticians who repel all suggestions
of moderation cannot be sure
that they would do better if they
controlled the whole government
to-day. It takes less coin to pay
debts than it took four years
ago. It tatces less cotton than
year ago. Unless the politician
is very confident of his po, ers as
a benefactor of agriculture re
cannot promise much more
than is now going on.. Consider
ing what polititians of all parties
have failed to do in the past few
years, they should be modest in
their claims this off year, which
should, anyhow, be their year of
silence.
Raising alarms is not as good
as raising prices. Instead of dis
tracting the attention of a public
which would rather be at work,
the politician should give the bu
siness man a chance and should
conduct his off year canvass in a
spirit of moderation.
Willimantic's Bank,
Willimantic, Conn., April 26.
The depositors in the First
National Bank of Willimantic
seem to be doomed to lose near
ly every cent they have put in
the bank. The amount of the
late Cashier Risley's defalcation
is not yet known, but more than
$209,000 deficit has already been
discovered. A Hartford trust
company sent out yesterday $70, -
000 in notes which -t had re-dis
counted for Risley and wanted
them examined. It was found
that more tlian $20,000 of the
paper bore forged signatures.
Jbsank Examiners Dooley and
Lynch think they have discov
ered all the forged notes, but are
in doubt as to one of $5,000.
They refuse to give the names
signed to the notes. No record
of the manner in which the notes
were re-discounted could be
found. The directors had no
suspicion that such an amount o
their paper had fallen into other
hands, and the arrival of the
notes yesterday put an end to
all the talk of opening the bank
again. The capital stock of the
institution is $100,000, and "its
surplus fund $26,000. This and
probably more than $100,000 in
addition has been completely
wiped out, . ,
Minister Ransom,
Washington, April 26. The
estate Department has made pub
lie the remarks exchanged be
A H W . T-
iween Minister jxansom and
President Diaz, when the forme?
presented his credentials re

from the atmosphere of the
State Department and appar
ently imbued with the poucy of
this Government toward other
Republics.
Among other things the Min
ister declared that "the relations
existing between the two great
Republics, divided by a conven

Continent from the Gulf of Mex

speak at the Confederate monu
ment celebration at Chicago o

A FEELING OF HEAVINESS
comes to even the strongest at this
time of year. What one needs then, is
not some violent dose to tear the sys
tem all to pieces, but some mild tonic
lo keep the body braced up until Na
ture is able to throw off the effects of a
long winter. If vou need anything
stronger, better have your doctor pre
Bcrioe for you, and then bring his pre
scription to us. and we will take the
greatest pains to put it up so that you
will roceive the fullest benefit possible.
We would like to euro all bad feelings,
