'1 lie -fplkwii.g telegram addressed
to CLk-f . cf Police Hartt was re
ceived by Major Thompson yester

Frakklixton, N. C. April 1, 1888.
G. I. Ilcartt, Chief of J'olice, Jial-

: The National Park Bink of New
Xork holds forged notes for ten
thousand dollars against us given
through the State National Bank.
J. S. Bahbow & Sox,

From the' rate at which these dis-
closuJts are being made it would
;em that the forging game has been
retorted to pretty heavily and there
is' no conceiving the extent to which
it iay iivo been practiced.
EETCEN OF MB WOBBLE
Mr. Jordou Womb'.e, Jr , late boDk
keepcf of the bank, who was one cf
the pwty who left IViday evening
fot Tbtonto, learned on arriving at
Washington City tLatit would not
be nfcctsitiry for Lini to proceed on
to Toronto, and returned to this city
yesterday morning. A News and On
sebver reporter had an interview with
Mr. Woinb'e yesterday morning and
obtained all the points of the trip as
far as ho went. He said that
hia Bffprn deposition was sent
wih ; tha remainder of the
party and that t he Secretary of State
did not consider it nece&sary for him
to go in person. The party arrived
in Washington Saturday morning
and the Secretary of State and Mr.
Busbee $pent most of the afternoon
Saturday in getting the necessary pa
pers ia due legal form. Mr. Woinble
saysthat after everything was arranged
the Secretary of State declared that
all was gotten up in perfect legal
jfortn and he did no: think it would
be possible to pitk a flaw anywhere.
It is stated that there was a large
bundle of the papers. Chief of Po-
ice C. D. Heartt was appointed a
Special extradition agent. The party
Jen Washington Saturday night at
p. ni., going by way of New York,
or Toronto and expected to arrive
hete yesterday.
lnere was a rumor here on the
treets ; yesterday evening that
Messrs. White and Cress had botfi
expressed j their willingness to be
broaghi back into the United States
and to be tried for forgery, on condi
iioit th'alt' fr - i

$f forging. : I

I The investigation is still proceed
ing Very "quietly. Mr. Womble was
back at his post yesterday assisting
in the task, and Mr. G. Rosenthal was
lso in the bank giving some assist
ance. Discussion was rife on the
I treets yesterday as to the probable
Outcome of the application of our of
ficials to tbe Canadian authorities for
the prisoners. Opinions on the sub
ject differed widely. A remark was
inade yesterday concerning the matter
which struck our reporter as singu
larly pertinent. A gen'leman re
marked that the affair was unlike any
other which he had ever heard of. The
poodlers had not only disgraced them
selves in the eyes of all honest peo
ple, but also in the eyes of all rogues
They have failed ineloriously in all
(heir Echemes, and have excited noth
ing but feelings of pity and ridicule.
fr?e sentiment of the public mind has
hot arisen even to the dignity of in
ttfgttation. ; It ia simply a feeling of
contemptuous pity.
b' A telegram was received from Mr.
roes last : night by a gentleman in
jthis city, the contents of which were
purely of a private nature and of no
interest to the public. Although in
possession of the contents of the tele
gram, we " do not publish them, as
.they relate to matters in which the
public bare no concern.
! Nothiflf? could be heard from
IToronto yesterday. We made
descera e efforts throughout the
day to get reports oi wnat
'wa$ going on, but without avail. Late
at flight the following crumb of in
fortnation reached us and wo print it
in the lack of anything fuller :

' ElSTER NOTES.
ixtErestisg seevices at the various
L CUCBCHES OF THE CITY.
On Sunday morning E Jenton street
M. E. Church was tastefully deco-
ipastor, Rov. Mr. Gibbs, who gave
rated witU fl6wers. There was preach
ing by its two strong and eloquent ser
mons at both morning and night Snb
jecti'The jReaurretion.'The music,un
der direction of Prof. A- Pauli, was
exoep ionally line, especially the ren
ditions of "I waited for the'.Lord'
from Mendelsohn's hymn of Praise, at
morning eor vice, aud at night "Praise
ye the Lord," by Sherwin. Cornet
obligato. i
There wore interesting services at
the Baptist Tabernacle, lnere was
the large&t attendance at Sunday
School in the morning ever known,
and at the mo ning services there
were eight accessions to the church.
Tha pastor, Rev. G. S. Williams
preached ; excellent, tvnuom both
morning and night.
Lirge congregalions attended the
Evsler services in tho Church of the
Good Shepherd yesterday. The chan
eel presented a beautiful appearance.
Tbo music was in keeping with the
nature of the High Fettival of the
Resurrection and some very fine bo
leotion.s were rendered. llsv. Mr.
Clark preached at both service3. The
congregation at night was one of the
largest ever gathered in the chuich.
The Eastter offerings amounted to the
handsome sum of $460.
TLe morning ceremonies at Caris-t
Church wre moat solemn rvnd impres
sive. TLe decorations were excep
tionally tasteful and the music was of
the highest order. Rev. Mr. Weston
preached at the morning services, his
subject being : "He has risen." The
services concluded with Holy Com
munion. jEaster offerings amounted
to over .a00.
Very pretty iadeed was the festival
eervioe oft ihe children of the Sun
day fcctK'oj in the afternoon at Christ
chuich. Tho day was an ideal Easter,
to begin With. All nature was astir
and biiyat with anticipations of the
coming summer. The birds sang, the
trees and shrubs unfolded almost
visibly tuGir fresb green leaves, ethe
rial mildness of the real poetic tvne
was iu tho-atmosphere and every
thing inanimate seemed to rejoice
with humanity in the glorious mean
ing of the Qaeeu of Feasts. The
children, from the blooming luaiden
and the youth upon the threshold
of manhood to the merest tot
in Greecawtiy gown and young
ster still; ia dresses, evidently I
realized the full importance of
the occasion and enjoyed keenly
every step itaken ia the order of sei
vices prepared wirh special reference
to themselves. They were charm
ingly arrayed in the first fresh, beau
tiful stuffs fend trimmings of the sea
son and in their inuoent joyousness
were a picvbro that was but enhanced
in attractiveness by Ihe peculiar
grace with Which children do every
thing they undertake. Their per
formance, uii to spea'i, was admirable.
Not a flaw wai noticed in all their
varied exercisea. Certainly the lady
who, as musical directress, gave
her timo kni a 'ten lion to their
training, l.ts reason to be
proud, und deserves mora credit than
we know how to give for the result
which she attained. And for the
other ladies and gentlemen of the
school, particularly for those cn'the
several comjnittf es, wo hear words of
praise on ill: sides. In providing
pleasure for; the little ones they have
given picaiuitj to mary of larger
growth aud we are very happy as one
of the lookets on at tho service to be
in a position to Eay so.
First came a processional hymn, as
the hundred; and fifty children filed
into the chhrch through the north
door in column cf twoa,
down the north aisle and to their
places in thdpews, the body of which
in! the nave f the church they occu
pied. The procession was headed by
color bearer Andrew Syme, who held
aloft the beautiful tchool banner of
white and Jgold appropriately in
scribed, aud color guardsmen Duncan
Cameron and Willie Smith. It was
"even-paced; and elow," well mar
shalled and ; Without a break. Then
there came be Benedictus, the chil
dren conduoltidg the whole service;
then prayer ind .afLetwardsjhjj.riffig-.,
during Len These were in mite
chests, one cf which each
child proudly presented and were
made by clayes. .tacu class haa a
name, such as u3oldicrs of Christ,"
"Children of ,L!ght," 4 Little Glean
ers, etc, ana a motto conta'neu m
some verse from the Bibie. As the
motto was read by E5v:M-. "Weston,
assistant rector of the parish, the
class advanced .so the chaacel rail and
made its bffeiiog, at the same time
handing a floral letter to Rev. Dr. Mar
shall, rector of the parish, who placed
it on the horizontal piece of a six-foot
cross standirig just within the chan
cel rail an4 beautifully decorated
with flowers.) As each class stood in
the chancel ft verse of a hymn appro
priate to its motto was sung by the
children as a whole and when the last
class had taken its place again in its
pew it was seen that the letters on
the cross fortned the sentence "Christ
is Risen." This feature of the exer
cises was a beautiful one and was
rendered by the children, bless their
little hearts, :(for most of them wer
little and very little indeed) without
a break or flaw. One little woman
went to feleep under the in-;
fluence of the music and the Boft
spriDg weatner before the turn of
her class j cama to make its
offering aid the superintend
ent would not have her waked. He
was wrong. ; She ought to nave Deen
permitted her full share of the en
joyment of the occasion. Men do
not think quick enough.
The offerings made, the children
were addressed in touching terms by
Mr. Weston Then they sang a hymn
and the doxology with spirit and
heartiness, the benediction was pio-
nounced, tlie procession was re
formed, aad. filed out of tho church
through the' south aisle and the north
door, through which it had entered,
singing an appropriate recessional.
The sweet ypung voices of the chil
dren were heard after they had left the
church and died away in the dis'anco
as the procession returned to the
Sunday School building.leaving many
almost vntmtears of loy in their eyes
that they had been permitted to look
upon such a beautiful exhibition of
"youtn aevoieu to me Ajoru.
Two Assignments.

Messrs. W. :E Page & Co.,Roberson
ville, N. G, made an assignment Sat
urday night last'. Alto, N. Mobly, of
this place, made an assignment today
at 12 m.' Have not ascertained
amounts yet. ;
There is no knowing the extent of
the forgeries comm it' el in tho broken
State National Bank. They probably
becau with the fornin ' of Cross'
father's name to notes for s'ock, ru
the strength of which ho former was
made p:o:iitji!Ut, und tiny liavj been
steadily Luultiplttd aud increased in
amount ever since. Finally both the
wreckers became desperate and not
only pocketed all tho funds of th
bank they! could lay bold cf in any
way and could borrow en the strength
of tho b.(in'4"n bane, but foiled even
the nauios t dKd uiou ud filed them
as representing loans. It will be some
time yet bdfore the full extent of this
forgery can. be ascertained.

to tho widow of Gen. Jno. A. Logan
(instend of passing tho Senate bill in
precisely the same ternar) tho House
bill was, on motion of .Mr. Dawe?,
passed, Mr. Berry saying that he
would not call for a vote by yeas and
nays but wished r to go on record
that he wa opposed to it.
Mr. Spooner introduced a bill mak
ing the necessary appropriation (esti
mated at $150,000) for tho purchase
of a tile. and tho erection of the nec
essary houses etc. for the signal ser
vice at Washington. Passed,
i The House bill to authorize the
construction of a bridge across the
Mississippi river at Memphis was, on
motion oi Mr. Harris, taken up.
' Mr. D:-rry moved to amend the
first htction by making ;t obligatory
(instead of (jptional) to have the
bridge canstruchd for the passage of
wagods, vehicles and passengers cs
well us of railway tiains. Mr.
Berry'ij aciendiueut was agreed to.
Several amendmen's reported to
the Houao bill by te Senate commit
tee on commerce were agreed tc.
The principal amendment was to the
third section. It was to striko out
the santenco requiring the two mid
dle or channel 6pans to be not le6s
than six hundred feet in length in the
clear and that no span shall be less
than 450 feet in the clear
and to substitute , for it a
prov sion directing the Secretary
of War to detail thieo army en
gineer officers to examine the locality
arid to repot t what should be the
length of the epans provided that
the main chaimol span shall be less
than seven hundred feet in length
and the other spans Zot less than
COO feet. Also that ihe lowest part
of the superstructure of the bridge
shall be at least seventy-five instead
of sixty-five feet above extreme
high water-mark. Another amend
ment was to add a new section repeal
ing the Memphis bridge act of Feb
ruary 26, 1885. The bill having been
reported to the Senate, all the amend
ments adopted in committee of the
whole were agreed to ia bulk, except
that offered by Mr. Berry requiring
a passage way to be provided for
wagonsj vehicles and fooi-passengers.
Oa tbatiMr. Sawyer demanded a sepa
rate vote. The amendment was agreed
to, yeas 30, nays 13. Tho bill was then
passed and a conference committee
ordered. Messrs. Sawver. Vaf i
ThiB Seha'e then resumed as unfin
ished business the House bill for the
purchase of U. S. bonds by the Secre
tary of the Treasury, the question
beijjg on a motion of Mr. Palmer to
recommit the bill. Mr. Stewart
moved to recommit with instructions
to the committee to report without
delay a separate bill allowing the
ownrra o; gold or silver bullion
to i deposit ihe same and
receive coin certificates therefor.
Af er considerable discussion Mr.
Stewart withdrew bis amendment
and expressed a hope that the mo
tion to recommit the bill would be
voted down. Without action o i any
of the pending propositions, the
bill was laid aside for the present.
Mr. Riddleberger gave notice that
he would tomorrow ask the Senate to
act on the motion to suspend the ruleB
as to executive Eessions, bo aa to have
tho fishery 'reaty considered in open
session. He gave this notice, be said,
so i that there might be no delay or
excuse of absenteeism, and also that
thoso who might be afraid to vote
upon it could absent themselves.
.Executive session.
Adjourned.
HOUSE.
Chaplain Milburn, who has been
absent for a week on account of tick
ness, was present in the House this
morning and delivered tho opening
prayer.
.Mr. Mills, of lexas, chairman oi
the committee on ways and means,
reported the Mills tariff bill and it
was referred to the committee ol ti-e
whole.
Mr- McKinley, of Ohio, submitted
the minority report, whieh was or
derrfp printed.
Mr: McMilhn, of lenneasee, on
bubalf of the committee on ways and
moans, "announced that the committee
would seek to have the House con-
sider the tariff bill two weeks from
tomorrow. Tho committee had de
termined upon this late day for the
purpose of enabling the appropria
tions committee to get its work for
ward and into tho Senate as far as
ni'ght be, and trusted that the busi
ness wCthld have been so far disposed
of that tho tariff bill could have an
uninterrupted right of way.
Among the bills introduced tnd
referred under the call of States were
tlie following :
'By Mr. McClammy, of North Caro
lina, to reward the discoverer of the
romed and cure for hog cholera
i By Mr. Houk, of Tennessee, author
izing the construction of a bnuge
across the Tennessee river at Knox
ville. :
By Mr Sowden, of Pennsylvania,
a resolution calling on the Postmas
ter General for information as to
whether instructions have been given
in re.'urd to rates oi postage on seeds,
i4ai.-t.-s bulbs and printed circulars
l-fcfcivod from Canada, and whether
tbe existing laws and treaties give any
advantage to Canadian citizens over
citizens of the United States engaged
in similar busiues s.
! Mr. Crain, of Texas, moved to bus
pend the rules and put upon its pass
age hip joint resolution proposing a
Constitutional emendment changing
the time for the enoual meeting of
Congress- A long debate followed
and at its conclusion the motion to
auspeud tho rules and pass the reso
lution was defeated yeas 80, nays

: Mr. Randall, from the committtae
o.i rulis repdrted the resolutioi

se?3 ons for the consideration of meas

miU feS, ;iu some cases parlicuLirizin
the b'lih to bo considered
Mr. O-ites moved to strike out tha
clausa which gives tomorrow and
V ednesdtiy to the committee on the
judiciary, provided that the first bill
disposed of shall bo the Senate di
rect tax: bill. He wan, he said, unal
terably opposed to that measure but
his motfcn.was predicated on the idea
that it vaa not quite fair and respect
ful to the committee.
Mr. lliormt favored the motion to
strike oiit. The action of the commit
teo on rules in ; doterminlhff the or
der in which the bills reported by the
judiciary committee should be
taken up was entirely unprecedented.
It was an abuse for the committee
on rules; to force upon the House a
measure; which was iaspellfd by no
exigency except that of taking $1G,
000,000 from the treasury,
jr. Randall said that the committee
on rhles had put the proviiion iu the

to decide whether it desired to con

Chicago, April 2. 11. 30 a. m
Thud far today there ia no important
change in the "strike situation. Noth
ing has resulted from the meeting of
the St. Paul and Ft. Wayne strikers
which were to have been held this
morniD"- Neither have tbe Pan-Han
dle men taken any action in regard to
handling "Q" car3. The Burlington
continues its position and at 9 o'clock
notiged the police that it was going
to deliver a train of freight cars to
tho Michigan Central Railway. A de
tail of officers was sent to the Michi
gan Central j ards aud soon after a
Burlirigtonn trc;n, bristling with
Pinkerton detectives and various va l
road efficiais pushed in. Beyond the
usual curses and cries of "Scabs" that
invariably greet "Q" trains nowa
days there was no hostile demonstra
tion. Tl:e cars were delivered to thef
Jlicfcign (.antral and ihe "Q"' engine,
the Pinkertons and ihe railroad offi
cials quickly disappeared from the
rccue. ; As F.OOU as they had gone

men Kotihed tho yard-master that
they would not touch the "O" cars
A strike on this road will therefore
De precipitated whenever the order is

situation is being used to advantage
by the sharp rascals who obtain em

all of these had to fight their way

intention to handle all the Burlington
freight offered thm, and to do it

St. Paul officials announced to day to
their men IJm-. unless the St.
Paul switctimen are at their
posts tomorrow morning, ready
for work, they can never obtain em
ployment on the road again. Tho
suburban passenger service of the St.
Paul has been in great measure re

laid off about 5,000 ardmen and
switchmen along tho line until the
preseuttiouble blows over. In addi

T1IK MINORITY REPORT
ON THE MILLS TARIFF BILL.
Washington, IX C-, April 2 lie
minority report of the ways and means
committee on the tariff bill was drawn
by Mr. McKinley of Ohio. There was
but one manuscript copy of it, and
that was hurried off to the printer
without giving newspaper men an op
portunity to Ecan it, but tonight
proofs have been furnished to the pub
lic. It is 7,000 or 8,000 ord long.
Its opening paragraphs are as follows;
The extraordinary manner in which
this bill came to the committee and
the total lack of consideration given
to so grave a jneasure by those
charged with its investigation demand
notice and comment. It was fashioned
outside , of the committee and
reached : V, . not by reference
of the House, which is the
I. 1 1 1 , , . ,

mittees obtain jurisdiction of a sub
ject. It was presented ready-made
by the chairman 'of the committee,
was framed, completed and printed
wi hout the knowledge of the minor
ity and without consideration or de
cision in full committee. If any con
sultations were had the minority were
excluded. Thus originated, after
three months of the session had gone,
it was submitted to tho committee.
Since there has been no consideration
of it, every effort upon the part of the
minority to obtain from the majority
facts and information on which they
constructed the bill proved unavail
ing. The resolution to refer the bill
to the Secretary of the Treasury for
a statement cf ita probahJe
effects upon the revenue, together
with a statistical abstract which
would facilitate its consideration
by the committee and the House was
voted down by a Strict party vote.
The industries of the country Ideated
in every section of the union, repre
senting vast interests closely related
to .the prosperity of the country,
touching practically every home and
fireside in the land and which were'
to be affected by the bill, were denied
a hearing and the majority shut the
doors of the committee against all
examinations of producers, consumers
and exporters whose testimony might
have enlightened ; the committee.
Farmers, whose investments and pro
ducts were to be disastrously dealt
with, were denied an opportunity to
address the committee. The work
ingmen ef the country, whose wages
were at stake, were denied an audi
ence. Their representatives on the
deeffjc j&i Tia (-uo yiu is overny a
political one, believed to represent,
so far as it goes, the views of the
President ' and his j associates, a bill
which, with the President's free-trade
message, is to constitute the issue
and be the platform of the party.
This may account if or, but will not
justify, this extraordinary course of
procedure.. The minority protested
without avail in committee, and now,
announcing it to the House as they
feel constrained to clo, accept tne
. 1 , .11 .
issue tendered Dy tne oui, accom
panied with some of their reasons for
opposing it and make their appeal
from the ; people s; servants to tne
people themselves. )

decided parts, a remarkably fine con

State conventions and wielded no lit
tle influence in such bodies.

made a fine appearance in any body of
men.
He was thoroughly devoted to every
interest of the State and never failed
to apeak ja behalf of the right when

best qualities of Southern manhood
He was a knightly gentleman.
