C, July 18, '88 : If the entire Slate of North Caro lina had been searched from sea to mountain no more suitable place for af encampment for the military of the Statu could have been found than Seaside Park, on Wrights ville Sound. The Park includes about fifteen acres of ground, a part of which ia. shaded by large oaks. The rest is open ground, sloping gradually to the sound. ; In thh beautiful grovo the tents, tc, are stretched. Tht drill ing and dress parades will take place in the open field, which affords ample space for handling the troops. With in; sight of the Park ia the sea. Ba'h houses have been built on the Sound n0ar camp for the accoinuiodatiori of the encampment. Just across the Sound ---one mile is the fine hotel near the beach, built by iho Seacoast Railroad Company, and which is now open to the public. S'retching along the Sound for several miles are ejttage and hotels and boarding houses for summej residents. With plenty of good water, good markets, still water and surf bathing, our boys ought to have a good time, and they will. Everything possible has been done by the citizens of Wrights ville and Wilmington to make the encampment a success. I As the time for the arrival of the first train bringing soldiers drew near yesterday evening large crowds gath ered at the depot, and there was great excitement and cheering and enthusiasm as company after com pany landed and formed in line and started for the park. The first train to; arrive was over the North Caro lina Central at 5 30 p. m. The last reached here about 11.30 p. m. : At an early hour this mdrning the encampment was opened with the usual ceremonies. The reading of or derSjprogrammes, &c, clearly showed in; toe beginning that the ' boys were not to have a frolic or picmo. This calling together of the troops means business,, 'as it shpuld. j Why call men from store and farm and shqp and office for a dozen days at large expense unless some real good is to come from" it? Through the courtesy of the. ofli- cers in command your correspondent obtained the; official reports of each regiment and company, as follows: The First Regiment, Col Gotten com manding, has in camp seven; compa nies, numbering two hundred and eighty-six men. ; ' The Second Keinment, tJol. ;v.C. Jones commanding, has five compa nies, numbering two hundred and nineteen men. The Third Regiment, 0ol. J. D. Glenn, commanding, has seven com- patties, nunabennf; two hundred and thirty-nine. ' The Fourth Regiment, Col. J. T. Anthony; commandinc:, has- eevea companies, numbering two hundred ana nine men. From these figures you see there are nine hundred and fifty-three men. Tbia does not include all jof the offi cers and masicians. From the reports it will be teen also that the First Regiment is the largest kpd the Fourth is sthe small est!. Of (the companies, CompaUv A, Edgecombe Guards, First Regiment, haying ., fifty-seven men, is : the largest,:; and Company D, Mon roe Xdgbt Infantry, iourtn lien iment, is the smallest, having only 20.

That as the record showed that the original intent of the alleged forgery was the vtakitir of a false en try, the criminal act was not com pleted until the false entry was made, and therefore it fell under the pro visions of the said Sec. 5209, and was for that reason not cognizable in a State court.

Report of the CI vll-Ser,vlee ConmlHlom A synopsis is given elsewhere of the fourth report of the civil-service commission, which has been in course of preparation for some time, and has just been placed in the hands of the President. The report makes a vol ume of 731 pages and contains a mass of statistics showing the prac tical work of the commission. It appears that of every one hundred persons who successfully passed the examination more than forty-one re ceived appointments. The report argui s against the apportionment of appointments by congressional dis tricts, and urges the extension of the classified service to various branches of governmental work not now in cluded within the scope of the com mission's operations. The commisson claims that, while all that the sangu- ing friends of the civil-service law ex pected of it may not have been real ized, its practical operation has "shown the wisdom of divorcing the subordinate offices of the government from politics and elections), and mar ine continuance in office dependent not upon party service, but upon merit and good behavior." The re port insists that a beneficial change has been brought about in the cur tailment of the "patronage" system, the demoralizing methods of which "have been replaced, within the clas sified service, by the methods of the law under which the demands of com mon justice are complied with."

DESOLATING STORMS LEAVE DEATH AND DESTRUC TION IN THEIR PATH. moons in ohio and west viboinia bwkxp LIFE AND l'HOI'ERTT BEFoHK THEM -TWENTY-FIVE PERSONS PEBISH. By- Telegraph to ihe News and Observer. Pittsel'bu, Pa., July 20. A Chron icle Telegraph special from Wheel ing, at noon, says : The loss of life from the flood last night is at least twnty five. About fifteen bodies have bern found so; far. The money loss is about $150,000. The greatest loss of life was along Wheeling Creek and at Triadelphia. The search , this morn'ng resulted in the discovery of a number of bodies near the latter place. Most of them were found among the drift which collected at Elm Grove. The body of William Gaston, aged 00 years, a prominent and Wealthy person, was found near Elm Grove. His wife's remains were, found two miles below E!m Grove, hanging on a barbed wire fence. Charles Caulbell, of the Wheeling News Letter, aged 50, was found among the drift wood. Mrs. Jane Fay and her two grown-up daughters, Alice and Mary, were discovered a ehort distance below Triadelphia, and the bodies of two brothers, named Gorman, were found in a meadow, where they had been hurled by the furious waters. Sr. Clairsville, Ohio, July 20. This place and vicinity were visited last evening by a most terriffic thun der storm with violent winds and rainfall that eclipsed an averpge ; wa ter spout. Grain fields were laid waste, shocked corn was swept away and growing corn ;s not to Lo seen. Bellairw and St. Clairsville, and St. Clairsville and Northern railroads tre almost entirely washed out. Tue in coming tra n on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad was stranded at Echo and the trainmen and passengers, as best they could, escaped with their lives. The water filled with drift, running to the headlight of the , en gine. Several narrow escapes are re ported and it is feared a number of lives has been lost. As yet it is im possible to estimate the loss, but this place and vicinity are damaged not less tban $100,000. Wheeling, W. Va.. July 20 Later and authentic details from Triadel phia show that the destruction was more appalling there than anywhere else. Fifteen families are homeless and eaved nothing but what they had on. Half this village of 600 inhabi tants was swept away, but all but those before named escaped to the hills. The storm extended sixteen miles east of West Alexander, Pa., and the scene all along the way is one of desolation aud horror. Where the Triadelphia school house, a large VWllClliii. ill ! -v ... t . alrrA ilia creek is now a raging uoou ana not a vestige of even the foundations re mains. The whole south half of the town has disappeared as clear as if it never ex isted. The Wheeling relief commit teo which recently raised funds for the Rowlesburg sufferers expended the balance for provisions and sent them to Triadelphia. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, Pittsburg divis ion, is practically destroyed for fif teen miles. The Western Union Tel egraph Company lost forty m lea of wire and most of the poles. Reports are coming in from all parts of Ohio county this morning indicating that the storm was more disastrous to life and property in the county than in this city. It cannot be stated at this hour how many 'lives have b en lost. The loss in this city is known to be ton, with a num ber reported mieaing. Caldwell's run which passes through the oighth ward of this city was the scene of the greatest havoc. Three houses were swept away and all the inmates drowned. They were Mrs. Barbara Stenzel and son Herman Stenzel; Alice and Annie Wingert, of M Iton burg, Ohio, niece of Mrs. Stenzel; John Honlan and Mrs. Thomas Haw ley and four children. Her husband was in the yard and was b wept one hundred yards down stream but managed to reach the bank in safety. Only two bodies have been recovered, Alice Wingert and Mrs. Stenzel. Mrs. ' Johnson, a, widow, aged GO, residing at Clinton, this county, died from fright. Pittsiiukg, July 20. A later dis patch from Wheeling says twenty- three persons are known to be drowned. Among the number was the sheriff of Marshall county. Ceme teries were washed out and coffins with bodies floated down the stream. The Democratic Fart)-. Eluabeth Oty I'.cononnst. It is not well for the Democratic party to cherish with too much con fidence the idea of being under a spe cial governmental providence because of the fact of its having had a longer tenure of power than any political party that has existed in this country since the foucdation of the govern ment. Its extraordinary vitality is more remarkable than the duration of its tenure. It has had more stub born and strenuous and able opposi tion than any party that has existed under the government, but it has sur vived them all. It was swept from power in IS4U Dy tne most over whelming political storms or wnicn the history of parties furnisheB any parallel, but in less than a year it revive ana Bwept the country. It has survived rev olutions and civil strife, with the passions and prejudices of men and warriorB arrayed against it, and yet it has triumphed in the end and is perhaps today stronger than ever be fore, wih every prospect of contin ued power. The Democratic party dates from the first election of Jefferson to the Presidency in 1800. Between that period and 18G0 the Democrats were in power forty-eight years and the Whigs twelve. Since 1860 the Re publicans have been in power twenty tour years aud the Democrats a little over three years. Washington was a Federalist and Monroe a Jeffersonian Democrat. Fatal Kxploeloa. By Telegraph to the Newt arrd Observer. Louisville, Ky., July 20. The ex plosion of steam pipe that supplied the engine from the boilers caused the death of seven men of the crew of the tug boat Convoy at 140 o'clock this morning. The accident occurred twenty-six miles up the river near West Port, Indiana, and most of the men were asleep at the time. The following is a list of the vic tims: Wm. Page about 28 years, resi dence unknown; Wm. Harrigan 16 years, residence Soho, Pennsylvania; Robt. Jones about 35 years old, mar ried, residence, Jack's Run, Penn sylvania; Wm. Bigley 42 years old, marrieJ, residence, Alleghany City, Pennsylvania;Charles Luster 59 years of age residence, Jack's Run, Penn sylvania; Geo McCann 24 years old, residence, Pittsburg; Wm. Kelly about 35 years old residence un known. When the boat reached West Point, twenty six miles up, everything, ac cording to the first mate's story, was running smoothly. He took a walk back to the cabin and found all quiet. He stopped and talked to a friend, George McCann, who was lying on a lower berth near the door. The lat ter half rose in his bed and remarked, "I'll soon be at home with my family." Then he laid down and went to Bleep. The mate returned to the pilot house and was conversing 1 with Capt. Reno, the pilot. They were then two miles above West Point, when suddenly there was a terrific explosion, the whole boat be came enveloped in steam and the ma chinery stopped. The captain, who was asleep, hurriedly dressed, called his men and made preparations to land. The yawl was lowered, the line taken and the boat was towed 'ashore and made fast to a tree. Then the cap'ain pro ceeded to investigate where the ex plosion occurred. Wm. Page lay near tho door dead. Blood was rush ing from his moath and ears, and the flesh was ecalded off of his bddy. Wm. Harrigan was in his berth. His death must have been instantaneous, for he lay in the same position as when he retired. Robert Jones was on the floor and barely alive. He was hor ribly burned and lived but fifteen minutes. He died with his wife'8 name on his lips. Wm Bigley was still alive when found, but died in ten minutes. Charles Luster was found outside of the cabin lying on his face. He was not dead and told them that he had run out there as soon as he could recovar from the shock of the explosion. He was almost baked, his skin was parched and little jets of blood stood out from the pores of his body. In two hours he was dead. George Mc Cann lay dead in exactly the same osition he was in when the first mate eft him but ha'f a hour before. Wm. Keeley was pulled out from under his bunk and was alive but he was also terribly burned. Charles Chambers, the other man who slept in the cabin, Was DIOWU UUk ut tuv I k.ot n miraculous escape. The officers of the boat can give no conception of the accident and say the machinery was inspected last Feb ruary and was then in excellent con dition. An inquest will be held this afternoon and all the bodies returned ta Pittsburg Oxford Items. Cor. ot the News and Observer. Oxfobd, N. C, July 20. The watchword for Oxford is H'on wa;d and upward."

The tariff discussion in the House terminated Thursday, and it only re mains for Chairman Mills to make a brief closing speech on Saturday, after which the vote upon the bill and amendments will be taken. The result is a foregone conclusion ac cording to both Democratic and Re publican estimates, and the members of the House are greatly relieved by i tne thought that the lone drawn out tariff talk is at an end. The debate Thursday was of a purely political nature, the Republicans taking com fort in predicting the election of Har rison and Morton and also a Repuli can majority in the next House on the protection theory. Representa tive Butterworth took occasion to ex plain away ihe mystery which has surrounded the Republican tactics on Senate upon reciving the will refer it to the finance committee and allow it to slumber there until after the people have have had an op portunity to express their opini6n on the subject at the November election. He also intimated that a Senate com mittee will probably be outorized to sit during the recess and hear state ments from the representatives of the various industries of the coun try. Representative Springer scored a strong point against the Republi cans by quoting from the report of the minority of the ways and means committee to show that they had promised to assist in a liberal revision of the tariff by amendment to the ma jority's lepoit, and failing in that, they would bring forward a substi tute. "Where, O, where is that sub stitute ?" exclaimed Mr. Springer, amid a burst of applause or the Democratic side. Tin Republicans remained silent in tL r seats and made no attempt to reply. The bill having been completed in committee of tho whole, Speaker Car lisle resumed the chair, and Chairman Springer in a loud, clear voice, announced that the committee authorized him to report the bill and amendments back to the House with the recom mendation that it do pass. The last word was drowned by the applause on the Democratic sidr, w'ich con tinued for more than a minute. The usual arrangements between Messrs. Mills and McKinley with reference to the number of copies of the bill to be printed and the time for taking the vote were then made, and the subject laid aside until Saturday. The Senate tariff sub-committee hat finished its hearings, and will have the substitute for the House tariff bill finished and ready to sub mit to the full finance committee on Saturday. Reducing the Surplus. The disposition of the surplus in the United States Treasury engages the at tentioh of our statesmen, but a more vital question has our attention, and that is the reduction of the surplus consump tives, eince the discovery and introduc tion of Dr. King's New Discovery for Conaumution. there has been a marked decrease in the mortality from this dreaded disease, and it is possible to still further reduce the number of consump tives.
