SEW YEAR'S DAY AT THE : WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON. IN THE PRESIDENT AND MRS. CLEVELAND liECEIVE A OOROEOUS SPECTACLE OTHER NEWS 11 Y WIRE. Wasuinutos. January 2. The new year came in with a bright and beau tiful day in Washington. The sun shone warmly in an almost -cloudless sky, and with the exception of the ice coverpd sidewalks in the early morn ing, which made wajking a little dif ficult, the Jay was all that could be desired. The White House was the main point of interest to the official world ana trie public today, and long before Jtbe beginning of the . President's jannual reception the great iron gates closing the Pennsylvania Avenue en trance to the grounds, were sur rounded by people who gazed with curiosity at the h ilLwntly costumed throng of diplomats and officers as :t ed thr'igli into the executive man sion. The interior was tastefully deco rated with potted plants, flowers and jyines. All of 'the shadeH were drawn and the.gas burned brightly in crys tal chandeliers which were festooned with smilax and other graceful vines. Jhe vestibule was almost filled with the scarlet coats of tho Marine Band, Which undeir the direction of Prof. Sousa, discoursed pleasing music as the ceremony progressed. Ten min utes after 11 o'clock the band began I'Hail to ' the Chief" and the re ception party ascended the stair case and entered the blue parlor. Marshal Wilson and Lieut. Duvall, tl. S- N., led.the party, followed by the President, Miss Bayard, Secre tary Bayard and Mrs. Cleveland, Sec rVary Faircfiild and Mrs. Whitney, Secretary Efldicott and Mrs. Fair child, Postmaster General Vilas and Ool. Lamont.':Secretary Whitney came litter and joined the party in the blue riarlor. ;5 Marshal Wilson took position at the rest door of the room and introdued the officials and tho public to the president, wiho stood at his right band. Lt. Duval performed the like service for tfie officers of the Army and Navy. Mrs. Cleveland stood near the President,, and ,was assisted by Miss Bayard,; Mrs. Fairchild and Mrs. Whitney. Thfi space in rear of the re ception partyjwas filled with persons pirominent ' in;; Washington and offi cially, amoDg'tbem being Mrs. Endi cott and Mrs, Lamont, Miss Vilas, Miss Garland, Mrs. Sheridan, Mrs. M' E. SUivensoD, Mrs. Leo Ejnott and Mrs. H. S. Thompson. "Vhen the party had taken up its po sition and exchanged greetings with the members of the eabinet, the di plomatic' corps was received. All of the foreign nunister's except the rep resentatives fromTortugal and Italy were present Senor Preston, of Hayti, dean of the corps, led the prty, which made a brilliant picture in the lavishly embroidered diplomatic costumes. Tile' Chinese minister and hii suite, clad jn richly decorated sik oriental garb, attracted much atten tion. The Supreme Court next paid it i respects to the President, all of thib members? being present. It wis followed ))y the judges of the court of claims and. the members of thii district ; judiciary. Then came this Senators and Representatives in Congress with their ladies, rather more in number than is usual upon New Year's dat. Speaker Carlisle did not enter with the members of the Huse. but came nearly a half hour late. , The officers of the Army and Navy, v ho had assembled at their re spective departments, reached the doorway just as the last of the repre sentatives passed through the blue room. Lieut. -Gen. Phil. Sheridan beaded the army officers, while Rear Admiral Jouet't led the naval contin gent. All of the officers in Washing ton, active and retired, were in line, making f, prelty picture with their dark blue uniforms, gilt epaulettes and, side-arms. Next came the regents and secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, Commis sioier of Agriculture, the Civil Ser vice Commissioners, the Inter-State Commerce Commission, the Assistant Secretaries 'of -the Departments, &c. A notable break in. the programme at this point was ' the nonappearance of thl association,bf the soldiers of the War of 1812. --'Last year they num bered but Bix; today not one made hisfappearance. ! f The Grand Army of the Republic with a large number of members of thef; Oldest Inhabitants Association of thejDistrict of Columbia were the last organized bodies to exchange greet ings with the presidential party and it was half pasjfc; twelve o'clock before the' western ga'e was thrown open and; the genera public admitted. Al though the people were present in large numbers the crowd was hardly equal to those of previous years, pre sumably for lh reason that the most of he citizens: have been able : to gratify their desire to meet the Presi dent at his weekly receptions during the.fall and winter. The reception terminated at ,"two o'clock, having passed off successfully in every par ticular aud without an untoward in cident. ' j' Si Ike af VUii-Worktri. Sandwich, Mass., Jan- 11.

Mayor Hewitt sent a letter to the Governor today in which he states that neither ibis city nor any other portion of the Union is free from danger of the spread of contagious diseases under the proeent quarantine regulations at this port. The opinion of the mayor is based on the report of the board of health of this city, which he also transmits to the Governor. He recommends that the Governor cub mit this report to the legislature for action in improving the arrangements at quarantine. Jk Reduction of lO Per Cent In Force. Chicago, January 2. A Daily Netcs special from St. Louis, Mo., says : There is much suppressed feeling among the employees of the Gould Southwestern Railroad sjstem here and at other points aloDg the nLe because of the order, to at once reduce the working force 10 per cent. The officials claim that the re duction is the result of the dull sea son and will not last longer than March ldt. The men claim that the reduction is not justified by the labor situation on the system and is resort ed to as a substitute for cutting down their wages. Fourteen hundred men will be loft without work. Lynched for Araon. ( Montgomery, Ala , Jan. A spe cial to the Advertiser froth Tuscum bia; Colbert county, says : One day last week some one entered the house of the w:dow Lindsay at Cherokee, saturated the bed and carpet with kerosene and set them on fire. Mrs. Lindsay returned soon after and gave an alarm, and with the assistance of neighbors saved the house. The neighbors then set a watch on the house and succeeded in catching Os car Coger, colored, in a second at tempt to burn it. They took him to a tree a quarter of a mile away and swung him up to a limb. The ne groes are indignant over the lynch ing, and there is considerable excite ment. A Terrible Catastrophe. Chicago, Jan. 2. A Daily 2ferbs special from Forgetown, Ala, says : A terriblo catastrophe occurred last night in which three persons were killed outright and between twenty and thirty injured. The colored Bap tists had gathered in their church to w-atch the old year out and the new year in, as is their custom, and duriDg the festivities so great was tho crowd that the floor gave way and the building collapsed.

Agricultural Depurlintnt Flli Hatching. Cor. of tuie News and Observer. December, 29lh, 1887. I saw in your issue of a few days since that the Board of Agriculture had ordered the removal and sale of the engine and other (property at Avoca. Would it not be well to remove it to Weldon or some other place on the Roanoke Hirer, so that whatever good it may accomplish may be en joyed by the people of Northampton, Halifax, Martin and other counties that are interested in the fishing bus iness ? , .Would it not be well to es tablish the hatchery at Weldon, which is accessible at all times ? I would suggest that before the board either removes or Bells the property they should consult some disinterested person who is acquainted with the property and its value; and also, if it is to be Isold, when and where it should be done, for the interest of the State. Mr. Stephen G. Worth was for a long time connected with the hatchery at Avoca, .and in, perhaps, better quali fied than one else to estimate its value and juJge of the best manner and place to dispose of it. I think that . ha carried this property there and established the hatchery, but am not certein. I am sure, however, that he was engaged in that business there for several years. I understand that Mr. Worth is now connected with the United iStates Fifch Commission at Washington, and these are my only reasons, for suggesting that the board should consult him before tak ing further action. If the property should be sold at any remote point it is probable that it would not bring its value. Mr. Worth knows what is there, the capacity of the 'engine and all other materials. I noticed a few days ago that the subject had been discusbed during the present Con gress, jf the State deeires to con tinue the business and will properly contribute this to that purpose, prob ably the'to-ird could get assistance from tho department at Washington. I merely1, throw out these suggestions, hoping that they may promote the iuH'ie.-t iilluded to. 1 iey ilie pardoned for making (lie An tht r suggestion Hint our faithful Oongies.siii-.tn Mr. Slminqns could ;id t'ti much: in tl o enterpriho, and if le quested would cheerfully do sc. Would it not be well for the Bard of Agiicultura to address him on the subject before they dispose of the State property at Avoca or locate it elsewhere T I am quite sure that his advice and assistance" would be cheer fully rendered, as he would, npt dis regard a courtesy exte'rrflexl or a duty imposed upon him. Roakoke. : ! THE STRIKE ON THE READING RAILROAD SYSTEM. ALL OXIXT ALONG THE LINE BIT A GEN EBAL STRIKE ORDERED OTHER TELEGRAPHIC NEW?. Reading. Pa., Jan. 2 The coal and freight traffic, while in full operation on the Reading railroad, is not as brisk as it was before the present labor troubles. It is apparent that the new men are unable to move the trains as rapidly as the old ones. A majority of the coal mines are idle and thiB likewise has its effect on traffic. For twenty-four hours end ing with midnight, forty coal trains made up of 3,172 loaded coal cars passed down the road, and thirty eight trains camposed of 3.073 empty cars came up from Port Richmond. Usually the total number of coal cars loaded and empty, passing through this city on Sunday is from 10,000 12,000.-. Yesterday sixteen freight trains passed up the road and twelve down. This is also a decrease from the daily shipments a month ago. There is now no fear by the business community that the shop hands in this city will strike. It is an assured fact i that they will not do so. In evidence of the appreciation of the conduct of the men here, and as a further measure of conciliation, a circular was issued by Superinten dent Cable and distributed among all the employees here, thanking them in the name of the Gompany for their loyalty and faithfulness in standing by the company and promising that their good conduct should not be for gotten. The men in this city, while not taking any official action at their assembly meeting, generally speak in denunciation of Sharkey Lee and other! leaders, who, they say, having now been discharged by the company try to forment trouble and lead the old aud faithful employees who have no grievance to strike. Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 2. There is no material change apparent in the Reading railroad strike here today. The Knights of Labor who left the company s employ" are still in a state of masterly inactivity, while the com pany's officials say they experience no difficulty in : securing ' all the men needed for the proper handling of business. Today being a holiday the quietness prevailing at the several shipping points here is attributed to that fact but the Knights claim that I a great number of their fraternity nave retired from the service of the company and that the effect will be shown tomorrow when the company's shipping business will be regularly resumed. Advices from north of Reading to day say that at Gordon Plane a full complement of hand3 are at work. The plane was kept in operation all of Sunday, and a large quantity of freight and soft coal was hoisted. Superintendent Lawler, of Shamo kin, reports today that he is well sup plied witlTtteU, and really has : more now than he requires to hrndle the trade. : At : Mahanoy Plane the strike is more serious, but with the colliers all idle the officials have not experienced much; trouble in handling its busi ness. At all other points on the Sha mokin division everything was re- Eorted quiet this morning. PoSce ave 'been stationel at all points where trouble is likely to occur. About 300 special officers have been distributed from this city along the main line. Frdm now on Superintendent Cable anticipates fighter coal shipments, because all the coal cars which have blocked up the sidings have been moved, and the many idle collieries will cause a great falling off in the coal trade. All the iron industries in this vicinity are preparing to shut down if a coal strike takes place. There is not enough coal on hand in this city to supply private consumers more than several weeks, and prices are going up. : The luigle this afternoon publishes an interview with Anthony Lalley, president of the Miners' and Labor ers' Association, who has worked in the mines forty years. In reference to the strike in the coal regions.: Mr. Lalley Bays that he regards such a strike as unwise. No good result, he thinks, ever came from strikes, and he is op posed to them. He says that he has never yet known of a lockout where the men gained anything, even if their demands were acceded to. Both parties, he says, are injured, and it often takes months and years to re cover from their effects. President Lalley favors arbitration. He Bays that he will oppose anything rash, and thinks that there are enough cool-headed miners in the district to prevent ia strike. The lesson of past strikes, he saysj has demonstrated the folly of: such action. He does not believe that the miners can afford to strike. ; jln his opinion, if the com pany shows a disposition to arbitrate the men will resume work tomorrow. He charges President Corbin with trying to destroy the Knights of La bor, but does not think that he will succeed.; He believes that the various coal companies have combined and made war to crush out the life from the la bor organizations and declares that the members will meet it but with peaceable means. He regrets that the anarchists have interested them selves in the welfare of the Philadel phia & Reading employers. He adds: -We have no sympathy with murder er c thieves, robbers and incendiaries. They are, our greatest enemies. They should be banished from the country. We do opt want the sympathy of cut throats,'' THl RAILROAD CHANGES HANDS.

A meeting of the K. of L. and railroaders was held here today and as the result a general strike of miners and railroad ers will be made tomorrow through out the anthracite region except in the Wyoming Valley. The miners strODgly condemned the course of the railroad company, the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers also, and mado an appeal to the men who contemplate coming into the region to seek work to remain away till the strike is settled. They also advised the hotel and boarding house keepers not to entertain scabs and declared their intention to fight to a finish. The entire coal region was represented at the meeting. The sentiment of: the meeting was unani mously in favor of a lock out Every thing is quiet. Business is greatly depressed. The miners declare they can standout six months.

DIED AWAY FROM HOME. A Youui North Carollulan's Fatal Fall from a Train. Savannah News. On the west-bond Central passen ger train Friday morning was a young white man who occupied next to the last seat in the rear coach He had boarded the train at Pooler, handed Conductor Storey a ticket for Halcyondale, and instead of quietly occupying his seat attracted the at tention of all the passengers by con stantly getting up and walking to the rear door of the car, and out upon the platform. Immediately behind the young man sat Mr. Howell, of Darisboro, who, suffering from the constant cold draughts corning through the open door remonstrated with the nervous passenger. This had the effect of making the young man resume his seat, which he kept until the train approached Blcomingdale. When the engineer blew the signal for that sta tion the young man jumped up and I ran out upon the platform again. through freight, was on the platform of his cab. His train was standing on the side track. He saw the man as he stepped out of the door, and it seemed as if he was looking for some one. It was the impression of Con ductor Wolf that the young man fell off the platform. Others say that he jumped off At any rate he struck a wood rack and fell to the ground, where he remained, with a cut in his head. It was not until the passenger train had stopped at the station that the trainmen knew of the accident that had happened a few rods back. They returned aDd found Mr. Joseph B. Boulin, who keeps a small store at Pooler. Conductor Storey thought that Boulin was from Savannah, 'as his ticket read from Savannah to Halcy ondale. The Shoo Fly train was due in a few minutes, and when it arrived the wounded man was put aboard and started to Savannah. The train w as gone but a few miles when he died. The body was brought on here, and when it arrived Supt. Hege ordered it sent to Dixon's undertaking estab lishment and immediately set about tracing the man's relatives. None could be found at Pooler, he having lived there but a short time, but let ters in the dead man's pocket indi cated that his parents live at Osgood. Chatham county, North Carolina. Supt. Hege immediately tele graphed there, but as Osgood is some distance from a telegraph office he had received no response to his in quiries up to late last night. In the meantime the body is at Dixon's un dertaking rooms, where it has been dressed and prepared for burial. If nothing is heard from his parents by 4 o'clock this afternoon the Central railroad authorities will have the re mains properly interred here. Richmond's Good Showing. The Richmond (Va.) Dispatch of Sunday devoted several pages to a review of the progress of that city during the past year, placing the population of the city, with Manches ter just across the river, and their suburbs, at 97,000, a decided increase within the past twelve months. The number of hands employed in the G'JO manufacturing establishments of the city in 187 was 19,980, an increase of 1,397, andi the sales of the manufac tured products aggregated $27,887, 340, an increase of $2,202,535.
