By Telegraph to the News and Observer,
Washington, D. O, March 12 A
storm mingled with rain and snow set
in yesterday, which in the afternoon
was accompanied by a high wind, in
creasing later to a gale, the wet snow
clinging to the telegraph wires and
the poles in masses and offering such
resistance to the wind that before 7
o'clock all the telegraph wires leading
out of Washington were prostrated. No
press dispatches were sent out of
Washington after 7 o'clock last night
nor any for the evening papers today
and up to 7 o'clock tonight. None
have been received since two
o'clock Sunday morning- Late this
afternoon connection m opened with
Richmond and Pittsburg, but although
the sky is clear the wind is a howling
gale and the prospects for the wires
holding but are not promising. No
trains have reached this city since
day-light today from any point north
of Baltimore. The fitst Baltimore
train bringing the Baltimore morning
papers reached here about 1 30 this
afternoon. The last train to reach
here from the north previous to that
train was te limi'ed express, which
left New York a. 3 40 yesterday after
noon and reached here at 3 o'clock
this morning. The first train from
Baltimore this morning was obliged
to creep jits way through a net-work
of telegraph poles and wires, and stop
(o clear the track of falleD trees and
scattered timbers. Railroad officials
are entirely in ;he dark concerning
their trains, as their telegraph lines
are in the same condition as the com
mercial wires. People arriving from
Baltimore this afternoon say the
fo;ce of jhe wind was such that the
lights were blown from railroad sig
nal posts. In this city a groat many
trees were blown over and practically
all wires are disabled, but no serious
damage was done.
The Fire Companies.

In your notice of the fire on East

not detract from the praise due the
quick work done by the Capital, in
justice to the other nromen it should
be stated that the honor is due the
Victor Fire Company, who had
stretched their line and had water
turned on before any other reel ar
rived. Their hose burst and before
they could make the change the Capi
tal Reel laid their line and turned on
stream. The arrivals at the fire

The young English electrician, to

owed the cleverly contrived effect of

It was with this novel electric appa
ratus which Mr. Veoey has invented
that Sir Morell Mackenzie exatnined

lamp is appended at the end of what
looks like a long, slender penholder,

Banker Bain Again Convicted.
The jury in the case of George M

verdict of guilty against the accused
on an indictment charging him with
making a false report to the Comp
troller of the Currency, me deiena
ant had been found guilty on an in
dictment about eighteen months since
and sentenced to three years in the
penitentiary. " The verdict, however,
was set aside by the Supreme Court
on a technicality. Immediately after
the trial bis counsel moved for a new
trial, which motion will be heard
Thursday. The case consumed the
attention of the United States Cir
cuit Court all of last week and was
made . especially interesting on ac
count of the prominent legal gentle
men engaged. If a motion for a new
trial is refused, Bain will be sent to
the penitentiary for a five years.

TtJTE, TABBOBO.
Agriculture, said an ancient philos
opher, is the "blood relative of wis
dom," and it is the basis of individual
and national prosperity. Our ocuntry
is dotted over with villages and cities,
traversed by numerous railways and
canals, while manufactories are spring
ing up on every side, all of which
are either directly or indirectly the
mere agencies of successful hus
bandry. Our farmers also produce
annually over ten billions of dollars
worth of products with which to
clothe and feed the people of the
world, and 80 per cent of the exports
of bur government are derived from
the same source.
Then why is the question so often
aeked, "Does farming pay T" Becauso
wherever brain and muscle toil for a
living, whether in the field or the
workshop, it is the victim of class and
corporate legislation. We suffer irjpm
excessive legislation ; the simple
character of our government is rap
idly disappearing.' While the laborer
sows the spoilsman reaps. The wealth
of the country is being rapidly con
centrated in favored centers, and
the power of millionaire monopolists
makes more grievous the burdens of
"Man the worker,
Man our brother."
While our fields are as productive
and our seasons as congenial as they
were in the past: while our people
are as industrious, as frugal and in
telligent as they have ever been;
while no previous period of this
world's history has witnessed such
progress in agricultural science, such
invention of labor-saving machinery
and the same amount of wealth em
ployed to develop the productions of
the soil, as we have had within the
last thirty years, j et the complaint of
bard times and the cry of distress is
heard throughout even the much fa
voted sections of our country.
ouch things are not the result of
accident or chance, for our country is
prosperous beyond measure. Mil
lions upon millions of money wrested
under color of law from the produ
cing classes, nominally for the support
of the government, lie idle in the vaults
of the Treasury at Washington; and
while agriculture is depressed, other
enterprises of minor importance were
never in a more flourishing condition.
ih reports of the tenth census ac
quaint us with the fict that in 1860
those engaged in agriculture owned
over one-half of the wealth of the
nation, while in 1880, only twenty
years thereafter, they owned only
one-fourth. In 1860, .owning an equal
capital with all other industries, their
wealtK increased but four billions,
while their industries increased about
twenty-three billions.
It is true a part of this time was a

prevailed when excessive taxation
was the rule and the needless multi
plication of officers afflicted our land.
Now when a reign of law prevails, a
wholesome administration of tbe gov
ernment demands that our public
affairs should be conducted on a busi
ness basis and for the many and not
the favored few.
Turning again to the census we
find that from 1850 to 1860 the value
of our forms under the (hen tariff
system increased 100 per cent, from
1860 to 1870 40 per cent, and from
1870 to 1880 only 9 per cent- While
since that period we have no reliable
data upon wbich to base our calcula
tions, except certain labor statistics,
gathered in their reports by several
LStateB and the known depression
in agricultural sections, yet we
are satisfied, instead of being
arrested, the rate of decrease con
tinued- Nor is this depreciation con
fined to the farms alone, but agri
cultural stock, horses, mules, cattle,
&c.,have witnessed a like depreciation
in value. In view of the fact that over
60 per cent of our people and 70 per
cent of the people South are engaged
in agriculture, and in view of the
great decay of this industry, and in
view of the fact there can be no genu
ine prosperity in this country while
our farms go to decay, it is most
Buredly the highest duty of our legis
lators to promote by al' legitimate
means this vital and all-absorbing
industry.
It sends no lobbyist to the balls of
legislation, it asks no protection ex

seeks no corporate privileges, it re
tains no attorneys to make the worse
appear the better cause, but iB con

muscular arms to develop and enrich
bur country from the products of the
sou. The farmer only demands an
honest administration of the Govern
ment under equal laws, and this de
mand is just.

PUS-OTHEB NEWS.
By Telegraph to theJNews and Observer.
Washington March 12 Senate.
Mr. Evarta, by request, introduced a
bill to settle the Central Pacific Rail
road debt. This is the bill prepared
by Vice-President Huntington and
by him presented to the House Pacific
railroads committee recently. The
same bill was introduced in the House
today also by request by Mr. Briggs
of California.
Tho motion to refer the President's
message was taken up.
Mr. Colquitt addressed the Senate.
The message, he Baid, contained two
Belf-evident truisms; fir&t; that taxa
tion should be limited in; amount to
the sum necessary for an. economical
administration of the government; and
second, that the reduction or removal
of taxes should be from the necessaries
of life rather than from the luxuries and
superfluities. These two principles
commended themselves to the com
mon sense of mankind. It was won
derful that any party or any person
of any party cotfid dispute them. It
was not possible to controveit them
without translating them into lees in
telligible forms and darkening coun
sel by words. . Tho message had made
a profound impression at heme and
abroad, and had received the hearty
and profound endorsement of wise and
judicious men everywhere. It ap
pealed at once to the head and to the
heart of the country. Mr Cleveland
had unified and claufied the issues
before the country and had condensed
them all into, two plain; issues he
might say into one that of tax re
formand to that one matter of tax
reform had the President confined his
en 'ire message.
; HOUSE.
The House took up the Stuart bill
appropriating $120,000 for the en

Mr. Blaud, of Missouri, entered his
protest against the log rolling man

passed by the House and against
waste of the public money. The bill
was passed.
Under the call of States Mr. Ran
dall introduced his tariff and internal
revenue bill.
Tbe House got into a wrangle over
the statement made by Mr. Bayne, of
Pennsylvania, supported by Mr. Reed,
of Maine, that letters and petitions
relating to the tariff and revenue laws
which had been referred to the ways

THE CHARGES AG IST JUDGE PHIL
LIPS.
POSITIVELY DENIED BY THE JUDGE HIM
SELF TO A EEPORTEB.
With reference to the charges
which have been made by one of the
papers of tbe State against Judge
Phillips, tho Tarboro Southerner
"A Southerner reporter showed the
article to Judge Phillips, who pro
nounced it,so far as he was concerned,
an outrageous libel. He says:
In the spring of 1884 I left Har
nett court .after its adjournment for
Sanford. I was driven in a buggy
with the bottom partially out, the
spatter-board gone and without a lap
robe. The day was very cold and
windy. In passing 'through Jones-
boro we stopped at a stoie to warm
(whose, I do not know), and for the
first and on' j time, and then only a
few minutes, I met Buchanan, who
offered me a buggy robe, which I
threw around me whilo sitting by the
fire, and if I remember rightly used
on my way to Sanford. This was the
only time I ever met, or remember to
have seen, Buchanan. During the
trial at Rockingham I dicLnot speak
to him, nor did he oner to. speak to
me.
I have never drank any of the fine
wines or liquors of Buchanan. I never
was at his house, and I never was ac
cused of drunkenness before. The
only night I ever spent in Jonesboro
was on my way from Carthage to Lil
lington in the spring of 1884, and I
spent that night with that wnoie
souled gentleman, W. E. Murohison,
Esq., a prominent lawyer, who went
over to Lillington with me.
The Judge then explained that the
case, on account of tbe standing and
wealth of the male defendant, at
tracted great attention, and that in
the county of Moore, where the bill
of indictment was found; there was
so much feeling that' the case was
moved to Richmond county for trial.
He said the trouble in the case was
in proving the offence to have been
committed within two years, the stat
utory limitation; that the trial jury
was of unusual intelligence, and they
were the sole judges of the facts.

Beloved Sistebs : We call every
union, and every woman in our he

united and special prayer, both pri

of wisdom and courage upon our
selves, and such a putting forth of
divino power as shall be felt in all
this land. Reasons: The year upon
us is one of struggle and of destiny.
Within these months the temperance
cause shall be in the very heart of a
mighty contest. Then let us pray:
First : 1'hat upon our great organ

Second : For our unused member

but not consecrated to the spirit and
activities of the work.
Third : for the great body of
Christian womanhood who yet stand
afar from this greatest of missionery

and other lands.

By the News and Observer.
Nichols vs. Dunning.
Held, where the court papers have
been carried off by the Judge, or have
been tent to him, to make up the case
on appeal and the same are lost or
mislaid by him and an appeal is thus
lost, upou their being found a writ
of certiorari, in such cases, will be al
lorccd. State vs. Ivey.
Held, in finding a true bill the
grand jury must act on legal, sworn
testimony taken on that bill.
Therefore where a true bill had
been found and quashed, and imme
diately a new bill sent which the
grand jury returned "a true bill,"
without examining the witnesses
again, the same must also be quashed.
Harman vs. Grizzard.
A Board of Commissioners in ad
mitting to -county offices those chosen
by the people, has a right to enquire
into the Constitutional capacity of
the persons chosen to take and exer
cise the functions of the office. In
making this enquiry, if an error in
law be made this forms no excuse.
But these functions if not strictly
udicial are at least quasi judicial at
least so far as to gi7e protection
asrainst mere errors of judgment. If
the board act bona nde ana accoru-
ing to their best information, they ere
not liable for error.

A large audience was at Metropoli
tan Hall last night, to bee "Michael
StrogotT presented by the Charles L.
Andrews Company. The company is
an unusually strung one, both in num
bers and dramatic talent, and to say
that the play was admirably presented
only partially expresses the verdict
pronounced by all present. The cos
tumes were striking aod effective and
set off the play to fine advantage.
Marked dramatic strength was-evinced
throughout and the general person
nel of the company was admirable.

If we know all the methods of ap
proach adopted by an enemy we are the
better enabled to ward off the danger and
postpone the moment when surrender
becomes inevitable. In many instances
the inherent etrength of the body
suffices to enable it to oppose the ten
dency toward death. Many, however,
have lost tnese forces to sucn an extent
that there is little or no help. In other
cases a little to the weakened lungs will
make all the difference between sudden
death and many years of useful life.
Upon the first symptoms of a rough or
cold or any trouble of the ihroat or
lungs, give that old and well-known
remedy Boecb.ee 's German Syrup, a
careful trial. It will prove what thou
sands say of it to be, the ' benef actor of
any home.
