Nw Yoax, Oct. 28. The rain storm,
which prevailed all day yesterday,1
oeesed during the night, but the weather
this, morning is very unpromising for
the' festivities which are to attend the
inauguration of the Bartholdi statue.'
A slight fog hangs over the city and
obscures in a measure the elaborate
decorations of the buildings, with which
the city has been beautified. The
Frenoh and American flags are flying
from the house-tops and windows in
every direction and a general holiday
appearanoe is presented by the moving
bodies of the soldiers, the militia, oivic
organisations and by the collection on
the sidewalks of great crowds of peo
ple. The decorations of the city hall
are very elaborate. Long streamers
and flgs have been hung from lhe Fed
eral buildings opposite along the main
streets, through which the procession
will maroh, in. order to pats under the
magnificent arch of evergreens, flags
and mottoes erected in front of
the World building, which is tastefully
decorated with French flags and bunting.
The French flag flies from the flagstaff
of the Tribune building, and the Sua,
Times and Mail and Express newspaper
offiees are all similarly decorated
In lower Broadway and Wall street
many of the fronts of large buildings
are almost hidden by fligs. Business is
ajmost entiroly suspended; the public
schools are closed, and all New York is
taking part in the celebration. Visitors
from all sections of the country have
been coming into the oity for two days
past, and this morning thousands more
were added to the great throng. The
prospects cf unpleasant weather is in no
fray deterring them. '
f Naw Yoax, Oct. 28. It is estimated
that fully a million people took part in
the festivities today. The multitude
pa simply enormous. Along streets
taken by the procession the crush was
terrible and every window was filled
With people. Wet pavements, mud,
chilly air and general discomfort were
no appreciable bar to publio enthusi
asm oyer the event of liberty 's uu veiling.
I ; The streams of workingmen and wo
men, who usually tread the streets at
-early morning hours, carrying dinner
jpails and lunoh baskets were today; as
arly astir, but the difference, was they
Iwore their holliday attire and their
faces had expectancy in every feature.
As early as eight o clock the tenement
districts began their movement toward.
the streets and avenues where they
might see the pagan t. From the boun
dary line east and west at the river
fronts the drift of people moved, until
when ! nearing the line of maroh there
grew to be a tide of human beings that
at length dammed up against the police
Unci and set back its constantly flawing
stream tn the near-by avenues. The
fifth U. S. artillery, commanded by Col
John Hamilton, and the engineer corps
took their position in front of Secretary
Whitney's house, at osth tit. and nth
avenue, a few minutes after v.
Nextoame the Oil Guard who stood
near the carriages, waiting lor toe
President's cabinet to leave Secretary
Whitney's Cresidenee, where he had
spent the night. Promptly at 10 o'clock
President Uuveland, aooompanied by
Secretary Bayard, descended the Steps
and entered an open carriage. They
were followed by Secretary Whitney,
Postmaster General Vilas, Secretary
Lunar, Private Secretary Lam on t,
Rear Admiral Lioe and stiff and Mm
Whipple. The Old Guard prededed
the carriages and at 10 15 o clock com
mecced the march down Fifth avenue.
Both sides of that street were crowded
with people, who waved their hats and
applauded loudly as the President's
oarrisge passed. Oa all the ; side
streets,, from Central park d,wo
to the reviewing stand on 21:h
Btroet, the different military oompouies
and eivio organisations were formed
It was iist 10:40 o'clock when the Pres-
ident reached the reviewing stand. : He
wsi greeted with hearty cheera as he
drove down the avenue and drew, up in
front of the stand. After the President
had taken his place on the rcvieying
stand the members of the Jvrencn dele
vat ion were presented' to him. The
party , included Uount ae JU-issepa ana
Hi Jjartholdt. Uount de Liesseps ; was
asked if the splendor of the military
pageant impressed him as being wor
th v of the event it commemorate l. - tie
said: "It is grand, sir! truly grand!"
That M. Bartholdi was p!eeply impressed
by the spsetaole it was easy to see.
That great artist appeared at times to
bo deeply moved.
When liartholdi appeared on the
stacd ho was easily recognised by the
mass of doodIc who bad seen his nor
traits, and a great snout went up. ; lhe
crowds on the avenue; up and down,
heard the name and passed it to people
id the park and side streets, until the
iir was bhaken with a roar of cheering
that must have gladdened the heart of
Birtholdi, who bowed his acknowlcdg
meats.
- In carriages driven to the rear of the
stand went President Cleveland and his
party. Instantly he was recognised
and again the crowds shook the air with
their shouts and from the house-tops
and windows of near-by hotels oame
Shouts and sounds of dapping hands.
Oa the reviewing stand the President
was presented with three handsome
baskets of flowers, the gifts of young
ladies in the city. Nearly every band
in passing playod the Marseillaise, the
French national hymn
: Alter the procession had passed and
the party were driven to the North river,
where tho Dispatch was waiting to con
vey them to Bedloe s island, The for
mation of the marine part of the parade
began on the Hudson river, at an early
hour, but owing to the foggy weather,
it was neatly 1 o'clock before the
signal gun was fired. At this time
there were probably 100 vessels drawn
up, in two divisions, the first oomposed of
larjre steamers and the second of tugs
and smaller vessels, some or these
were
beautifully decorated with flags
and buntinff. At Bedloe's : bland,

Umvibjitt Of N. 0, , Oct. 27.
In two issues of your paper I have
noticed the account of the- "curious
phenomenon" at Charlotte, a rain-
shower between two trees on oloudless
Uvs. There is a well-known oonditaon
of plant-life, which, in the absence of
direct evidence to the oontrary, may be
accepted as a solution of the mystery.
This is what is called "transpiration of
plants." ; It may be generally known
that the roots of a plant absorb water
from the soil, and that this water, or
the greater portion of it, is given off
into the air through the ; leaves, in the
form of Water vapor, whioh, of course,
is invisible. But very few may have an
adequate idea of the enormous amount
of water which is thus transpired by
plants. 1 Numerous observations have
been made to determine this. In one ease
a tree thirty feet in height transpired
during the summer (fife and one-half
months) 125 tons of water; equal to a
depth of seventeen feet for the sur
face of ground covered by the spread of
the branches. Tne amount of tho rain
fall during the same time was only two
feet and one inoh. It is estimated that
common sued fruit tree transpires
fifty barrels of water per day.
oomeumes aosorpuon is in exoa oi
transpiration, when the water will spurt
in drops from the lear of certain plants.
From the accounts given in the paper,
it would be reasonable to oonolude that,
by the transpiration of Water from these
two trees, in the form of an insensible
vapor, the atmosphere,' becomes very
hutni', and with the lowering of the
temperature of the air in the afternoon
tms matter u prooipiwwju ui lurin wi
the rain seen.
Similar phenomena to that observed
at Charlotte, caused by transpiration,
are not unoommon.

MiLWAVKia,
Oct. 28 -4-The limited
passenger train
on the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul railroad, which left
here last evening at 10 o'clock, was de
railed at Rio, when about three hours
out. and thrown into an old stone
quarry. The particulars are hard to
get, but it is admitted at the general
office of the company in this oity that
one coach and three sleepers were
wrecked and five or six persons killed.
Physiotans left this city on-the early
train for the scene of the disaster. It
is now reported that out of the ten per
sons who occupied tho passenger oooh
seven were killed. A gentleman from
Chicago and two children fram Winona,
Minn., were the only ones saved from
the passenger coach. None of the oc
o ipants of the sleepers were injured
Nothing yet has been learned in regard
to the cumber woundel. B. Lowcn
bch, a job printer of this city, was on
tite wrecked train; He ssys the scenes
after the aooident were hitrrowing. The
passenger coach, whioh ho says con
tained between fifteen and twenty per
s)ns, was telescoped at both ends, and
tie fire and smoke that enveloped the
wreck prevented the imprisoned and
iniured Tjasseueers from esespine. The
passengers from the sleepers gathered
around the blazing oars, but were pow
erless to render assistance. Mn and
women eould be seen tearing their hair
in the agony of the moment, and frights
ful screams issued from :he death-trap
One heavy woman in particular, he
says, tore up one of the seats with al
most superhuman strength and endeav
ored to break her way o it of th: filming
pyre, but her strength failed and she
fell to the flor and met a horrible
death. Only three i?rsons escaped
from the passenger car, Mr. Lowenbaoh
says, a man and two children, lhe
man was observed as he forced his way
thr ugh the ventilstor on the top of
the car, i with all the slothing' on his
body from his waist 'downward burned
off and bis flesh roasted and bleeding
from the cuts inflicted by the broken
glass. : Every one of the wrecked cars
was consumed, with the exoeptioi Of
the last; sleeper, which was cut away
from the burning wreck!. All the bodies
of the victims were burned in the wreck

Crossing into the Old North
State, in whose capital joity we are now
enjoying that hospitality which is the
great pride and pleasure of her people,
we find ourselves in one of the grandest,
noblest, richest and most importaat-of
the bright galaxy of States. Rich in
resources, some of whioh are found
nowhere else on this continent, she
stands forth in her pride of develop
ment, a grand figure in the great confed
eration. Just within her borders, ; in
the western part of the Stats, are located
the celebrated Cranberry iron mines,
with ' products possessing proper
ties whioh are not not found in the ores
of any Other mines. They produoe from
50 to 70 per eent of pure magnetic tnd
semi-magnetio metal, and from the crude
oro tools of excellent quality have been
manufactured, as a test, by simply beat
ing them into shape on the anvil with
out resorting to the customary operation
of heating. This ore requires no flux
ing, but ts frequently used in that ca
pacity! in melting other ores. These
mines extend from the Doe river into
Tennessee, twelve miles in a direct line,
and through mountains of almost solid
iron. Six hundred men are o instantly
employed in working them. From these
mines will be supplied in part the ore
for the great Bessemer steel plants now
in course of construction in the sister
States farther South, to which the eyes
of the industrial world are at this time
directed. The first forge worked in the
western part of north uaroiina was
by one Abram Johnson, in 1760, on the
Doe river. He died within the last
few vears.at the ae of 82, having lived
long enough to see what immense and
inexhaustible interests had grownu out
of the establishing of his humble
effort. . '
The western section of North Carolina
is well-named the mountain seo'ion. Its
area is 150x50 miles, enclosing a lofty
plateau, rising between two and three
thousand feet above the sea level. Here
are the highest mountains east of the
Rookies, some of them towering up over
6,000 feit; : notably Roan mountain,
which rises 6,200 feet, and from whe
summit a view may j be had of parts of
seven States at onoaL stand ng in superb
panorama. All throj-jghout those moun
tains are vast forests of white pine,
hemlook, chestnut and othor trees.
There is nowhere in the whole country
to be found an equal area of land oov
ered with trees of such value anil to so
great an extent. It is all original
growth, and, untii;reoent years. when
railway facilities enabled it to had a
market, had remained untouched from
time immemorial. The olimate through
out this section is glorious and invigor
ating, and during the winter, as well as
the summer months, thousands Of peo
ple from all parts of the country flock
. . . . i i ,t i
thither for healtn or pleasure, mereny
adding very largely to its resources.
Here also are found marbles , of the
finest quality and various oolors, while
mines of mica andl oorundnm abound in
many oo unties, whioh aro being worked
satisfactorily and j paying good profits.
Copper is also one of the prominent
metals found here, the mints of whioh
have been successfully operated.
The middle or Piedmont seotion com
prises nearly one-half of the State. In
HOERIBJJ
this section are lands rieh in agricul
tural development, growing wheat,
corn, tobacoo, barley, oats, buckwheat,
&e., besides various grasses. This seo

lands, that the owner might derive soma
revenue from the immense tracts he was
unable to oultivate for want of labor:

thrift, have found the means to repair
losses, make homes for themselves, and

all over the length and breadth of the

materially from those of other parts of
the State. Here are the elm, maple,
tulip, persimmon, black walnut, yellow
pine, mulberry, and other varieties of
growth. That these timbers may be
more fully utilised, more establish
ments are deeded for turning them into
wagons,, carriages, agricultural imple

by natural deposits of lime and marl, as

The We vemfeter Century.
The November Century marks a new
era in tne history of that magaxine, in
beginning the publication of "The Life
of Lincoln, "-by his private secretaries,
John G. Nioolay and Colonel John Hay.
Its authors were, in a sense, the chosen
biographers of Lkeoin, by whose aid
Dy i
thev were reinforced in the collection
of material during the war. From an
historical point of view the value of the
work largely resting on documentary
evidence not attainable by other writers
must be ranked high. In fact, the
inner history of the war waits upon this
work. .'
