there are a number about the, hotel,

the time. What is said or done by these
couples your correspondent has no
means of knowing, as he has never

it is not by any mieana the least popu

coinea a very interesting hour, that

Mr. Cullom offered a resolution r.
etruoting the committee on inier-S a e
commerce to make a full investigation
into the relations of the Canadian rail
roads with transportation adros in
continent of commerce which natural
ly belongs to the Unite'd SUt.es; atd
he made a long speech to show how,
by aids and subsidies granted by tb
British and Canadian governments to
railroads and steamships, the Cana
dian lines are obtaining control of
that commerceand especially of the
transportation of tea, forty-two per
bent of the tea business being now
carried on through Canada.
. The discussion' was joined in by
Senators Gorman and Hoar and is
Still going on,
Mr. Gorman supported the resolu
tion, declaring that it was time Sena
tors joined, irrespectively of paTty in
wresting the trade of the; United
states from aliens, who, by means of
subsidized corporations, were ab
sorbing it. He said that leading cit
izens) of the United States, men of in
fluence and power in shaping national
affairs, some of whom were candidates
for high office, are lending their efforts
as they bad a perfect legal right to
do, to the promotion of this Canadian
railroad scheme. He read a ; list of.
the officers and directors of Cone of
roads, which, he said, is designed to
receive pact of the bounty paid by
tbie British government. Amdng the
names were those of Levi F. Morton
arid fm. L. Scott, of Erie, Pi i
The discussion of Mr. Qullom's
resolution took somewhat a political
and somewhat a personal turn, .par
ticularly in the remarks of Messrs.
Gorman and Edmunds. Finally, the
discussion came to a close, and .the
resolution was. adopted without di-
vision. .
The resolution of yesterday by Mr.
Hoar, fixing -the hour of daily: meet

The Senate then proceeded to the
consideration of the fisheries treaty
in 4pen executive session and was ad
dressed by Mr.; Teller in opposition
to its rauacation. He quoted largely
froto the speeches of Mr. Morgan at
the present and previous sessions to
show inconsistency on the p4rt of
that Senator, and defended a major
ity ef the committee on foreign af
fairs from the attack made upon it
yesterday by Mr. Morgan in-con
nection wiih the closing paragraph
expressing a hope as to the course
to be pursued by the British government-
As to the remark made' yes
Cerday by Mr. Morgan that the Sen
ator$ on the Democratic Bide (twor
thirds of them! men who bad been
Confederates) were patriots, fbile the
Repablican Senators were partisans
Mr. Teller said! that would not fool
anybody. That had been heard before
the war and since the war. The great
American heart lay in the North. It
was the great American heart I that
had been touched when Sumter; was
fired on. It was the great American
heart that had endured all fj the
hardships and ' burdens of the
war j and that had brought
these people (the Confederates) back.
Tbeyj would be welcome to all that
tho Northern men claimed for them
selves, but they mast not claim ihat
they had more virtue, more patriot
ism, more love of American manhood
and American integrity and American
flory . than Republican Senators
ad.
Mr. Vance obtained the floor 1 and
the Senate resumed legislative bUsi
ness. ; K
Sonators Allison, Plumb and Gir
man were appointed conferees on the
army appropriation bill.
The Senate at 5 2U adjourned :UU

The Speaker laid before the House
a letter from Gov. Green, of New Jer
sey, presenting to Congress in he
name of the State 01 JNew Jersey,
statues of 1 Richard Stockton and
Philip Kearney, to be placed in statu
ary hall in the capitol. ;
On motion of -Mr. Phelps, 01 Mew
Jersey, a resolution was adopted as
signing Tuesday, August 21st, for the
consideration of a concurrent resolu
tion accepting the statues and return
ing thanks to the State of New Jer
eey therefor. 5
Private business having been dis
posed of the Uoubo went into com
mittee of the whole (air. springer,)!
Illinois, in the chair), on the de
ficiency appropriation bill.
Mr. Laird, of Nebraska, offered an
amendment appropriating $1,300,000
to pay arrears of soldiers' bounties
and back pay.
After) debate the chairman ruled
that the amendment was not in order.
The French spoliation claims soctien
of the bill having! been reached the
chair stated that according to pre
vious agreement! a general debate
would be allowed for nine hours.
A dispute arose as to the proce
dure of the discuss ion, Messrs. Long,
of Massachusetts, and Dibble, Of
South Carolina, claiming for the
friends bf the section the right to
open and close the debate, while Mr.
Burnes, of Missouri, who reported,
and has the management of, the bill,
contended that, although be was op
posed to the section, he had the right
to control the method 01 debate. '
The chair finally decided that the
right tolopeni and close rested with
the advocates of the section, and re
oocrnized Mr. Long, of Massaohu
setts, who declared that the question
presented was neither political nor
sectional in its character. It
was' not political, because it was
founded on a 1 us t claim which was
older than either of the .existing po
litical parties. It waa not sectional
became the money involved waa due
to men who lived all along the origi
nal coast of the thirteen colonies.
Passing over in brief a review ol
former legislation in regard to these
claims he contended that whatevei
excuse had heretofore existed for de
laying tbeir payment existed no lon
ger, in view of the fact that a judi
cial tribunal of the government's own
se'ection had, as a conclusion
alike of fact and of law, declared tbeir
va'idity end the government's indebt
edness. Njt to pay them would be
s mp'.e repudiation uutrageous and
scandalous repudiation.

Correspondence ot the News and Observer.
Wisston, N. C, Aug. 2, '88.
Winston-Salem people are very
much elated over our railroad pros
pects, and they are more so on account
of the certainty of certain prospects
in railroad directions. Ihe road to
Wilkesboro will soon be completed.
This road will tap the C. F. & Y. V.
Railroad at Rural Hall. On next
Monday a force of 400 hands will
commence breaking dirt on .this end
of the line for the building of the sec
tion of the Koanoke & Southern be
tween this point and Walnut Cove.
This part of the road is under con
tract to be built by December 15th.
It is said by those whoknow that the
road to Mock8ville will be commenced
at an early date, and a road from here
to Faretteville via High Point is one
of the assured possibilities. These
roads will make Winston-Salem a rail
road center for the great Piedmont
section, and will cause the towns to
grow in importance and wealth. How
ever, our conservative and closely
calculating citizens realize the fact
that while railroads are of vast benefit
to a town, yet they do nbt alone
build towns and cities. They are
great and important factors, and
without them no place can become
great. Yet other enterprises must
be established in order to insure
wealth and importance. To this end
think I can say that Winston Salem
will attempt to establish a 'line of
manufacturing industries. The Twin
City ib already a large manufacturing
city, but there is room for various in
dustries yet. Winston wants above
all things a large hotel, and the build
ing of one to be the largest in the
State . is continually talked of. A
market house will certainly be built,
! a sewerage system established.
prVe .eady have a first-class electric
ugnt 'system, and eacn town has
splendid water-works. With a 1 these
enterprises and -improvements in
sight, and with our BDlendid natural
advantages, 1 fear it will be impossi
V . . . .
ble to ward off a big boom in this sec
tion. But let her oome. She will
meet with a cordial reception.
A large number of our people are
enioymg themselves at Piedmont
Springs. Excursion parties cf young
people go up every week. Ihe big
hotel there is being built, and will be
ready for the reception of guests by
next summer. Fifty lots have been
Bold for cottages.
Leading Republicans here are very
much .disgruntledj over "Brer" Brow-
er s.vote on the Mills bill.and there has
been some talk of an invitation be:ng
extended him to step down, but
Brower in this particular is like
Banquo's ghost. He "will not down."
Of course Col. Morehead's election is
a certainty, and it makes no differ
ence which way the "cat jumps," he
will "get there "
The Grand Commandery of the
Knights Templar are in session here
several distinguished gentlemen are

la a Coaflaxratlon In Sew York City,
By Telefnaph to the News and Observer.
New Yobk, August 3. Thirteen
people Were burned to death in a six
tory brick building in rear of No.
197 Bowery this afternoon and two
othcis were killed by leaping from
the windows of the upper stories of
the building. Six more were burned
so badly that they will probably die.
They were removed to various hos
pitals. The house was hidden
in the middle of the block, the
only entrance to it being a narrow
alley way from the Bowery. In front
of it was a four-story building, on the
first 'Moor of which was a saloon
called the "White Elephant." Ad
joining this is Harry Miner's Peo
ple s Theatre. In the rear of
the burned building were two
bouses, hemming it in on the Christie
treet side. In this caged-in build
ing lived about 150 people. Each of
the six floors was occupied by a single
family, the head of whieh was a tailor,
who made clothing for each whole
sale honse and emloyed from fifteen
to twenty men, woinn and children,
in addition to his own fsuiliy, in mak
ing np clotffing. They were all Polish
Jews and the employers and employed
worked, ate and slept in the crowded
rooms of the dingy tenement. About
4 15 o'clock this afternoon while
aft the occupants of the building
were busily at work in the clos
ing hours preceding their Sabbath
eve, the flames broke out on the lower
floor. It had already gained such
headway that it was in full possession
of the stairway, and escape by it
seemed impossible. Most of the
frightened inmates, however, rushed
down through the flames and escaped
to the narrow court-yard with clothes
ablaze and hands, faces and bodies
burned. Six of them were so severely
burned that they were taken to the
hospital and may die. There were
fire escapes on the house, perpendic
ular iron ladders running down the
front and rear of the building, but
before any of the inmates had tried
to escape by them the flames had
ascended through the house and were
rushing from the windows so that
descent by the escapes was impossi
ble.
"BODY S. 4TCHKRS."
A8HEVILLE HAS A GRAVE BOBBEBT BKX8A-
TION.
Ashevllle Cit'zen.
It was precisely three o'clock yes
terday afternoon when Justice Sum
mey announced his readiness to hear
the testimony to be given in the body
snatching, affair, which it is alleged
was committed in this city on Tues
day night, July 10th.
The Citizen bas known fur several
weeks past that Messrs. Jesse It.
Starnes and P. B. Brewton, highly
esteemed gentlemen and prominent
undertakers of this city, were sus
pected of being crimini particepa in
the matter, and was therefore on hand
at the investigation which was held
yesterday afternoon. Both of the
accused were in court, as were also
Messrs. M. J. Bearden, J. W. Patton,
and S- (F. Venable, executive com
mittee of the Asheville Cemetery
Company, Dr. W. L. Hilliard, medi
cal expert; W, H. Deaver, chief of the
Pinion Detective Agency, who .work
ed up the case; undertaker J. V.
Brown, and a small arm? of witnesses
and interested spectators. Tne State
was represented by Mr. Thomas A.
Jones and the defendants risked their
chances with Mr. Eug. D. Carter.
The warrant charged Jesse R.
Starnes and P. B. Brewton with the
misdemeanor of "unlawfully and. wil
fully, without due process of law,
nor with the consent of the next of
kin, of the deceased, nor of the per
son having eontrol of the grave, re
moving the body of one Rose Cope,
or Miller, against the peace and
dignity of the State, and in violation
of the statute in such cases made and
provided, etc
Ihe warrant also alleges that the
body was removed on the night of
the 10th of July, 1888, and used for
scientific purposes, ete. The wit
nesses testified pretty much to the
same state of circumstances, and not
one of them swore positively as to a
knowledge of the parties committing
the deed. One: witness testified to
seeing a light in the cemetery in the
locality of the grave alleged to have
been "snatched " He was. afraid of
ghosts, and made no further exami
nation, lie entered the rosd this side
of the cemetery, and saw a wagon
coming towards him, with a - man
driving a dark horse, in his shirt
sleeves, and in tne bottom of. the
wagon was what appeared to be a
long box, carefully covered up.
Behind the wagoni came a buggy
to which was hitcheu a horse, having
s blazed face, and driven by a man
who had his coat on. One man was
considerably larger than the other,
and they were both coming towards
Asheville from tho cemetery. Wit
ness knew that they were white men,
but it was bo dark that he could not
distinguish who they were. Mr. W.
S. Cornell, superintendent of the
cemetory, and Jim Morehead and
Frank Picket testified to the dis
covery of the fact by them that the
grave had been "snatched"; the con
dition it was in on Wednesday morn
ing, and the partial exposure of the
lower end of the coffin on Thurday
morning, when it was alleged that it
was broug-ht back.
Mr. J. V. Brown testified to lend
ing Mr. Starnes about three pints of
embalming fluid on Tuesday, June
10th.
Several other witnesses were ex
amined, but all the testimony brought
forth was circumstantial and of a
very unsatisfactory nature to Justice
Summey who stated that he thought
the case demanded a fuller and more
thorough examination; than had been
before him. He thought it waa due
to the State and defendants that the
whole matter should be carried to a
higher court, and therefore bound
Messrs. Starnes and Brewton over
to tho next term of Ithe Superior
Court of Buncombe for trial before
that body.
