Losdoh, March 10. Mitchell and
Sullivan have gone to Creill, 33 miles

fighting this afternoon. The police

Chanthly, March 10. The fight be
tween Sullivan and Mitchell resulted
in a draw after 39 rounds .had been
fought; time 3 hours and 11 minutes.
Mitchell improved at the finish but
the referee) decided it a draw.
GhasttiXy, March 10. The fight
took: place, on the grounds of the
Baron Rothschild, near Criel. Sul

entered the ring, and Mitchell had
the . best of the fight Mitchell
friends assert that he would have won
the fight had it been continued. The
fight lasted a little over three hours.
Up to the tmd: of the eighth round
Sullivan appeared to have the best of
the fight, but the fact that he could
not knock : Mitchell out seemed to
discourage ! him, and after that he
fought with little spirit. Mitchell
showed great pluck throughout and
ma irienas are juDiiani, as me result
is virtually a victory for the little
Englishman. At tte end of the fight
both men were in poor shape, and
rditoheH's backers finally consented
tp the proposition made by Sullivan's
backers, that the fight be declared a
draw. The American crowd is blue.
The fight was a desperate one. Both
received fearful black eyes.

II.
Daniel G. Fowlo was born in the
town of Washington, in Beaufort
county, North Carolina, on the 3d. of
March, 1831- At the age of fourteen
he was entered at the school of North
Carolina's most celebrated teacher Wil
liam Bingham, where he remained un
til he matriculated at Princeton, New
Jersey, at the age of sixteen. While
at Princeton he was appointed by the
literary society of which he waa a
member, junior orator, and acquitted
himself bo well as to call forth a com
plimentary and particular mention by
one of the leading New York dailies.
The Honorable Barnes Compton, now
a member of Congress from Mary
land, was at the same time a junior
orator oppointed by another of the
literary societies.
In 1851, he graduated at Princeton,
and having studied law un
der Judge Pearson for two
years, was admitted to the bar
in 1853, and in 1854 settled
in Raleigh. In 1856 he married Ellen
Brent, daughter of Hon. B. M. Pear
son, who died in 1862, leaving two
children, Margaret, now wife of P. H.
Andrews and Martha, wife of David
B. Avera, of Raleigh.
On the surrender of Fort Sumter
and the proclamation of Lincoln call
ing for troops to coerce tbe seceding
StateB, ho volunteered as a private in
a company known tbe Raleigh
Rifles, and upon the organization of
the company was elected second lieu
tenant. Upon tho organization of tbe
State military department he was ap
pointed Major of the commissary de
partment. In the summer of 1861 he
resigned his commission, helped to
raiBe the regiment afterwards known
as the 31st, was made captain of one
of its companies, then lieutenant-
colonel of the regimen, and as such
served at Fort Hill, in Beaufort
county, and at Roanoke .Island,
where he was captured by Burn
side's forces, February 8th, 1862,
and after a short imprisonment,
paroled. In October, 1862, he was
elected to the House of Commons
from Wake county, and upon the ad
journment of the legislature was ap
pointed Adjutant General of North
Carolina with the rank of Major Gen
eral. In the fall of 1863 he resigned
this commission. In 1864 he ran for
the House of Commons from Wake on
the anti-Holden ticket and wan the
only one on this ticket who was elect
ed. In 1865, during his absence from
home, he was appointed judge of the
Superior Court by Governor Holden,
and was by the legislature of 1865-66
elected to the same office for1 life. In
November, 1867, he resigned this
office rather than obey and enforce
the orders of! General , Sickles, then
Military Governor of North and South
Carolina. He waa a Democratic can
didate for the convention of 1867 and
was defeated, but led his ticket by
over a hundred votes. In 1863 he was
chairman of the State Democratic
committee and threw his whole energy
into that campaign. In 1870 he was
one of the Democratic candidates
for the State Senate from
the counties of Franklin - and
Wake, reduced the Republican major
ity of twelve : hundred to two hun
dred and again led his ticket. In
1876 he was Democratic elector for
the State at large and upon the elec
tion of Tilden, so conspicuous and
pre-eminent had been Ms canvass,
that the members of the North Caro
lina Electoral College recommended
him to the President and requested
that he be appointed Attorney Gen
eral of the United States. In 1880
he Was a candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for Governor, was
defeated by Hon. Thos. J. Jarvis, and
during that campaign thoroughly
canvassed the State for his late com
peTitor, making some sixty speeches
in different parts of the State, from
the mountains to the sea. In 1872
he canvassed Chatham and made
speeches in other counties of the
State in behalf of the Democratic can
didate for Governor. In 1878
he assisted Hon. W. H. Eitchin
in his canvass for Congress,
making speeches in Scotland Neck,
Wilson, Goldsboro and New Berne.
In 1884 he was a candidate for the
nomination for Congress, was defeat
ed by Hon. W R Cox, but during
that campaign his eloquent voice was
heard in forty or fifty counties of the
State pleading for the glorious prin
ciples of the Democratic party. Du
ring the session of tbe Legislature of
1884-85 all the Democratic members
of that body united in a petition to
President Cleveland requesting him
to appoint Judge Fowle Solicitor
General. In that petition they say,
amongst; oiner tilings: "it you
should see fit to appoint any citizen
oflthe State to office we respectfully
ask that the office of Solicitor Gener
al be given to the Hon. Daniel G.
Fowle. While upon the bench of this
State, and ever since, Judge Fowle
has shown a devotion to.duty which,
comDinea witn nis great anility as a
lawyer, fit bim for any legal office
within the gift of the Government."
In 1886 be made speeches in Oranare,
Alamance and Wake counties in behalf
of the Democratic nominee for Con
gress.
We failed to mention in its chrono
logical order, that in January, 1886,
he married Mary E., only daughter of
Dr. t . Ji Haywood, of itoleigh, who
died in April, 1886, leaving now sur
viving her three little children. From
his early manhood in 1861 up to the
present time, Daniel G. Fowle has
ever been a constant, earnest, able
and effective advocate of civil liberty,
good government and that greatest
of all blessings, the Constitution
as understood and denned by that
grand old Roman, Thomas Jefferson.
His moral character is without blem
ish. As a soldier, he was true to his
flag, as a legislator he waa able and
conservative, as a lawyer he stauds
without a superior, as a judge he was
threat an?i pure, and an ornament to
that bench which hid btenoccupied by
such ineu as (Jaidwell, Manly, Nash,
Pearson, Battle, Ruffin and Badger,
and as a political orator, none can sur
pass him. Well do we remember how
in to 1 o in acanvasB 01 ins mate as a
Tilden elector, he stirred tne hearts
and minds of the people as they bad
never been stirred before. Wherever
ZS! to people
west Iti
to the importance of the political
issues of the day and left Behind him
a determination to win and an enthu
siasm for the cause of Democracy
that had not been seen for years.
And thus it has been in every politi
cal campaign, except the one of 1882,
when unfortunately for him and the
Democratic party, his private affairs
were in such condition as to demand
his constant attention.
As we look around us and see this
State filled with patriotic, cultivated,
intelligent and distinguished gentle
men, we must candidly admit that the
Democratic party of this State is rich
in great and good men, but where
within the, confines of the State
can
you una a man more aoie,
more magnetic, more laitnini ana
more powerful in his appeals to the
eople in behalf of the cause of civil
iberty and Democratic principles
than the Hon. Daniel G. Fowle? The
Democratic party, thank God, belongs
to no one man or set of men, and no
man, however distinguished his ser
vices may have been, has a right to
say that the party owes him any
thing; no one has a right to demand
that any of its honors should be
bestowed upon him; but we appeal to
our own countrymen to say if it is
I'uBt or politic that some should have
lonors and emoluments heaped upon
them while others, who are in every
way, to say the least, their equale, re
ceive from the party no recognition
of their valuable services.
If yoit wish to see the people fully
aroused to tho danger which defeat
may bring ; if you wish to see them
standing shoulder to shoulder deter
mined to overpowor t he black cohorts
of the enemy ; if you wish to create
and renew within their bosoms an en
thusiastic lovo for the principles of
the grand old Democratic party ; if
you wish to seo on election day th
enemy so thoroughly defeated and
routed that none shall be left to bury
their dead, placo the standard in the
hands of Daniel G- Fowle and your
wishes shall be gratified.

Alamance Co or Echoes.
To see all the phases of the Tar
heel you have to attend court. A
crowd on one of these occasions is
composed of farmers, lawyers, doc
tors, newspaper men, tombstone men,
insurance men, patent-medicine men,
organ grinders, tobacco drummers,
men with lung-testers, men with
patent machines, cake sellers, hat
sellers, out-of-door restauranters, a
sprinkling of gamblers, and a few
btray capitalists, but the busiest in
dividual of the lot is the proverbial
horse-swapper, who "gets there all
the some.. All the above classes
were represented at Alamance court
last week. Notwithstanding the very
disagreeable weather, the crowd on
Tuesday was large. One of the most
amusing incidents of the week was a
Bpeech by Mr. O. W. Bar ham, of Dur
ham, the popular auctioneer of the
Porrish Warehouse. He was there in
the interest of his warehouse, of
course, and his enthusiasm getting
the better of him, he mounted an
empty goods-box and began to orate
in the most earnest and eloquent
manner about the advantages oi Dur
ham as a tobacco market, and the
Parrish Warehouse in particular.
About this time the court-house win
dow was suddenly raised and the
sheriffs voice called out to the orator
that he was disturbing the court.
The gallant captain was not to be
outdone thusly, but yelling ''Come
on, boysT' ha charged a patent medi
cine man's wagon on another part of
the greqn, causing that gentleman to
vacate in double-quick time. Taking
possession of the wagon, Capt. Bar
ham made one of the most soul-stirring
t,peecbes it has ever been the
writer's good fortune to listen to. In
his enthusiasm the oratorical captain
seized "Snow," the dummy used by
the patent medicine man in his ven
triloquistic perforances, and present
ing it to tho enraptured crowd, intro
duced it as "Col. E. J. Parrish, of
Durham, the greatest warehouseman
in the worid."
Capt. Barham is a born orator, and
had he ; followed politics instead of
tobacco would doubtless now have
been discussing the tariff question,
tbe Blah bill, &c, with his brother
Senators in the Senate chamber at
Washington. R. B.

VCNKBAL SXBVICES.
By Cable to the News and Obserrer.
Berlin, March 10. The body of
Emperor Williatu has been embalmed
and now lies in State in the hall of '
the Palace. His features are placid,
showing no sign of the pain he suf
fered. The weather is warm and fa
vorable for the return of Emperor
Frederick from San Remo.
The decree of the Emperor Fred
erick in regard to national mourning
is universally approved. The news
papers say they hope theatres and
other places of amusement will of
their own accord observe the first
weekr after the Emperor's death-? as a
period of mourning. Tbe municipal
authorities will wear mourning for six
weeks. . All newspapers with the sin
gle exception of the Volktbiatt are
published with deep borders of black.
Beelin, March 10. The body of
the Emperor will remain in tho mor
tuary chamber until the requiem ser
vices take ; placo today. The body
will be clad iu the uniform of the
First Regiment of Guards and will be
enveloped in a military cloak. The
guard of honor will be relieved every
six hours. Adjoining the mortuary
chamber, the Chamberlain of the
palace, two jaegers and several ser
vants are constantly in attendance.
TBI FUNERAL SEBVICeS.
Berlin, March 10. Funeral ser
vices were held over the remains of the
Emperor in the mortuary chamber in
the Palace last evening. The cham
ber was profusely decorated with
flowers. The Dowager Empress Au
gusta, Grand Duke and Grand
Duchess of Baden, Crown Prince and
Crown Princess of Sweden and other
royal personages attended the ser
vices. The body of the Emperor lay
in the same position which the mon
arch occupied when he expired. A
crucifix lay on his breast and an ivory
cross was in his right hand. Chap
lain Koegel in his sermon alluded
to the moment when the Empress
Augusta held the hand of her dying
son. Lieutenant General Lehendorff
and Lieutenant General Von Waldes
acted as Guards of Honor a', the dead
monarch's couch. The Military Wo
enblatt, in an article on tho death of
the Emperor, says;: The army has
lost its leader in arms, its commander
in chief, its exemplar and its best
friend. Our hearts are sorrowful and
our eyes are tearful.
BISMARCK ON TBE SITUATION.
Berlin, March 10. Before the
Reichstag . opened today the Bun
deerath met. Bismarck, with great
empressement, alluded to the death
of the Emperor in terms similar to
those -which he used in Reichstag
yesterday. . He specially confirmed
the statements made yesterday in re
gard to the Emperor's dying attitude
between Russia and Amtria. In re
ferring to Emperor Frederick's acces
sion to the throne and to the transfer
of the imperial dignity connected
therewith, Prince Bismarck said that
the new Emperor, like his late father,
would take as a guiding principle the
conscientious maintenance of the con
stitution of the Empire and the trea
ties on which it is based and on which
the Emperor Frederick will count on
the co-operation of his allies.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Cor. of the News and Obserrer.
Washington, D. O, March 9.
Randall's tariff bill has not been
given to the public j as yet. He said
today that he would introduce it
Monday. It abolishes everything in
the way of internal revenue taxation
except the whiskey tax. There is
some anxiety to see Mr. Kandau s
hand. He is very reticent and to the
tariff reformers, provokingly confi
dent. But that is Randall's way.
Mr. McMillan said today that the bill
proposed by the Democratic mem
bers of the committee and introduced
in the House this 1 week is .steadily
gaining strength. When reported to
the House it will be a much stronger
measure than the original draft, and
he is very confident, he says, that it
will pass the House. ,
iA. Simmons' sfexcb.
Mr. Simmons' speech in the Ala
bama contested election case was a
stroDg, clear, lawyer-like presentation
of the case. His manner was good
aad his mastery of the case gave him
a great advantage in the discussion.
At the conclusion of the brief time
allotted to bim by the manager on
the Democratic side1, Mr. Crisp, chair
man of the committee on elections,
asked and obtained unanimous con
sent for an extension of his time.
Another unusual compliment he re
ceived was the close attention of the
House. A North Carolina Congressman
who heard all the speeches pro and con
says that Simmons' was the strongest
presentation of the) case made, and
that it commanded ithe best attention
of the House, lie made a number of
telling points. He) forcibly adverted
to the Republican theory that the
suffrage of the Southern negro is an
inalienable right of the Republican
party. In behalf of the manhood, in
behalf of the integrity and the patri
otism of the Southern black man, he
said:
"lhis imputation has long since
ceased to be just. There was a time
when tne minds of these unfortunate
Eeople were as much victims to po
tical as were ever their bodies to
chattel slavery, when no considera
tions of public policy or personal ob
ligation could move them from their
fixed allegiance to tbe Kepublican
party.
"A sense 01 duty impels me to say
these years were the darkest that ever
cast their accursed shadows upon that
fair land lying yonder across the Po
tomac towards the ocean and tho gulf.
Happily they have passed, and they
will not come back again.
"The false promises, the betrayal of
trust and the deception so long prac
ticed by the Republican party upon
their credulity and ignorance have at
length matured the bitter fruits which
uiu ixaursuw uais a
(tnfldeliCy always
ra bears. Th ffcaTel
have fallen from, their eyes, and they
have been given to behold in all its
nakedness the falsity of the pretenses
which hive so long coerced their suf
frage. Doubtless the efforts of
the white people of the South,
burdening their property with
excessive taxation to educate the
black man, has contributed to the es
tablishment of these better political
relatioms, and has enabled bim to
take a more intelligent view of the
situation and tho conditions upon
which the destiny of his race de
pends. But the immediate cause of
the defection of the : colored man
from tho Republican party is to be
found elsewhere. From the earliest
period of his emancipation he had
been taught that Democratic ascen
dency meant his return to slavery.
In 1884 it was beat and hammered
into his mind that the election of Mr.
Cleveland would confer upon the De
mocracy the long sought power to
compass his ruin and re enslave him.
When Mr. Cle eland was elected no
one who did not see it can appreciate
the frightful panic into which many
of them were thrown. ; But scarcely
bad he taken his seat at the other
end of the Avenue, certainly ere his
untrained hand had become accus
tomed to the reins of government,
these fears had subsided, and there
is not a sane colored man in . the
whole South who does not today feel
as secure in the enjoyment of all the
rights guaranteed to him by the law
as in the palmiest days of Republi
can ascendency.
These observations were forcibly
and earnestly presented, and evoked
for Mr. bimmon8 many congratula
tions. It was his first speech in Con
gress
BILLS OF LADINO CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE.
The House bill to make bills of
lading conclusive evidence in certain
cases encounters strong opposition
in the Senate. The bill seems to at
tract no attention in the House, but
the railroad people have discov
ered its sweeping character, and are
making a strong fight to defeat it in
the Senate. They claim that it over
turns the traditions and law of two
hundred years respecting the validity
and legal effect of bills of lading.
As the law now stands, bills of lading,
warehouse receipts and certificates of
stock stand upon the same footing
correspondingly low but if the
House bill becomes a law, it places,
they say, bills of lading upon a higher
ground than negotiable paper. Ia
the former there are certain equities
which obtain between the maker and
payer, after maturity. In the latter,
no equitable defenses obtain what
ever.
The bill is now pending before the
Inter-State Commerce Committee,
and was today argued by counsel rep
resenting Borne western and north
western roads, including Mr: John
son, of New York, who rep
resented the Terminal Company. The
consideration of the question by
the Committee has been post
poned until next Wednesday, when
further argument will be heard in o
position to the bill by Mr. James
Worthington, the general cousel, and
Mr. John N. staples,: the assistant
general counsel for the Richmond &
Danville system.
NOTES.
Mr. Henderson's internal revenue
bill which passed the House so easily
last month has been quietly sleeping
in the senate judiciary committee
since February 9tb. He has no idea
when the Senate committee will con
sider or report the bill. Senators
Ransom and Vance are urging action,
but without avail thus far. .
Mr. McClammy is making he
roic efforts for the reclamation of the
swamp lands along the North East
river in Duplin and Pender. He
thinks the river and harbor committee
will order a survey, and then will fol
low, he is confident, an appropriation.
Mr. McClammy can see no good rea
son why a sub contractor of mail
routes should stand a civil
service competition examination
as a condition precedent to
an equal footing as a bidder.
As the law or postofflce regulation
now stands, proposals are subjected
to rigid scholastic scrutiny, and many
are the cases where bad spelling and
punctuation have cost the bidder his
route. John Smith puts in a bid at
$1,000, and gets up his papers in legal
and departmental style. Tom Jones
will carry the mail over the same
route at $600, but his bid is rejected
because he has not the means to em
ploy a lawyer to. prepare his papers
Mr. McClammy has introduced a
bill to remedy this injustice. The bill
also directs the Postmaster General
to contract directly with the sub-contractor.
Under this bill, when John
Smith sub-lets a route, it is subject to
thr action of the Postoffice Depart
ment, and if it sees proper to do so, the
Department may ignore the contract
with the sub contractor. It is well
aimed at the star-route sharks who
flourish in Washington. H.
President National Banh,
McMinville, Tenn., writes: In my opin
ion from experience in my wife's case,
your Lemon Elixir has few if any eqals,
an no superior in medicine for the reg
ulation of the liver, stomach and bowels.
Your Lemon Hot Drops are superior to
any remedies we have ever been able to
get for my wife's throat and lung dis
ease. I feel certain and so does she, that
Sour Lemon Elixir and Lemon Hot
rops have been the means of greatly
Droloneintr her life. We have not the
least idea that she would now be living'
only' for these remedies. .Had she only
ased these remedies sooner, she would
long since, in my opinion, have been
well and been saved the great sufferings
she has undergone.

OTHER NEWS.
By Telegraph to the News and Obserrer.
Washington, D. C -March 10. The
monthly summary of the Agricultu
ral Bureau issued today avs:
The report of cotton marketed was
complete for the eight States a month
ago but was . deferred for returns
from the Carohnas and Texas. The
apparent proportions forwarded from
the plantations ou the first of Febru
ary wore as folio we: Virginia, 90 per
cent; North Carolina, 94; South Caro
lina, 93; Georgia, 94; Florida, 87;
Alabama, 92; Mississippi, 90; Louis
iana, 89; Texas, 94; Arkansas, 90;
Tennessee, 89; Missouri and Indian
Territory, 92. jTho general average
is 92 per cent. This indicates an in
crease of 3 or 4 per cent, .on the ag
gregate of county estimates of the 1st
of October, although the February
returns of the estimated production,
compared with that of 1886, were
nearly identical with tbe November
returns. This furnishes further illus
trations of a local tendency to under
estimate production, It was suggest
ed in the November report that it
might be assured that deep rooted
and early and well developed plants
would produce better than is expect
ed in their apparent loss of 'condition
and that if the outcome should sur
pass this first estimate the excess
might bo due to this cause. This view
was correct. An allowance for the
depressing effect of the i panic in
local returns, so stoutly opposed
by the speculators, is again proved
to be necessary. The quality of the
fibre is superior, the condition clean
and the yield of the linta htle above
32 per cent. Tbe value of the seed
averages 16 cents per bushel on the
Atlantic coast; 15 in Mississippi;
14 in Tennessee; 13 in Louisiana and
14 in Texas. The average close of
picking is as follows: North; Carolina,
December 10; South Carolina, De
cember 8; Georgia, November 29;
Florida, December 4; Alabama, No
vember 24; MUs ssippi, December 2;
Louisiana, December 13; Texas, No
vember 30; Arkansas, November 26;
Tennessee, November 27. j Tbe date

lantic coast, Georgia excepted, and
earlier in the more Western States.

Judging from the article in last
Sunday's issue of the New and Ob
server there seems to be! some in
terest yet in Philharmonic matters
among the Raleigh people. ! I do wish
that interest 10 heighten and
burst forth in a lashing enthusiasm.
When I recollect how well; the mem
bers of the socie y performed thek
Eleasant duties some time ago, and
ow listlessjthey seemed to grow after
they had won laurels, I cannot under
stand the contrast. : What was done
in Philharmonic work a few years
ago, can be done now, for
if there is a will there is a
way. Raleigh as the Capital of the
Old North State, ought certainly not
to lag behind smaller communities in
matters of art and social cul
ture. Henderson sent a deputation
to the last musical festival at
Petersburg,; Va. Raleigh, I although
urged to participate n those festivi
ties, was silent and seemingly uncon
concerned. I think it time that
something should be done to revive
the pleasant former Philharmonic re
hearsals and therefore by order "of
the executive oommittee I call a meet
ing of all the old members of the so
ciety and of all those citizens who are
iuterested in the revival of the Phil
harmonic Society for Tuesday even
ing the 13th inst, at 8 o'clock in the
Chapel of the Institution for the
Deaf and Dumb and the Blind. I
hope and trust that this call 'will not
remain unneeclea, out tnat salu
tary wOrk will be the result of the
meeting.
