London Telegraph pub lished two sketch-portraits from de ceptions of the man last seen in the company of the woman named Stiide, one of the victims of the Whitechap el murder fiend. The result has been tbe unceremonious arrest of every man bearing; any resemblanoe to the ictures, and a great deal of discom orthas been caused by this new phase of police activity. Many of the arrests ate made by self-constituted detectives or ambitious vigilance committeeman. The victims are gen erally discharged from cuatody as soon as brought bef ore a magistrate, but some are unlucky enough not to be iible to satisfy the officials of their rectitude, and are subjected to mer ciless annoying detention. One of the mefifju-rested Carried a bag,in which was found a razof. This suspect will have ve a vert good account of him- and his razor. Another perplex : ity attending the Whitechapel muddle is due to the fact that the regular po lice do not know by sight the various amateur detectives, and the latter are occasionally "held up" and put to the embarrassment of explaining their presence and; mysterious movements in in much-watched districts.

Dr. Hutton wired today as follows: "E. F. Saltmars, Pensacola, tele graphs that the authorities of Missis sippi and Louisana will not allow the nurses from Camp Perry to enter these States. These nurses have been in Camp Perry from seventeen to twenty-four days each. There is also absolutely no danger .nor has there been.

While the regulation forbidding their entry into New Orleans in my judg ment is entirely unwarranted by any state of facts we eannot override lo cal regulation! under; present laws, but no community can force the gov ernment to retain persons in quasi confinement beyond what the general judgment of sanitarians has agreed on as safe and proper."

Pandora was hot because of incurable lameness. After she had died without a struggle tbe ebotoest meat waa cut from her bones and taken to the cuisine of the Philadelphia Club, where the chief was sworn to secrecy an i theg meat was disguised as a joint of beef. Dr. Bush S. Huidekoper, who bought x-anaora tnirteen years ago, gave a dinner at the Philadelphia Club, and one of the dishes on the menu read "filet a la Pandora." Nobody knew except ' Dr. Huidekoper that that course was a part of poor old Pan dora's body. The guests supposed that the dish was named in honor of the old steeplechaser, whom they had seen take many a ditch and fence and oome- in the winner of many an excit iing race. After the filet had been eaten and pronounced very tooth some by the guests Dr. Huidekoper remarked that he waa glad of nis ests appreciation of his favorite e, "for," be said, "you have just eaten her." The guests looked at each other in amazement, andNafter a short interval of deathly silence there was a roar of laughter. Then in an .instant every one seemed to remem per randora as he bad seen her at tbe ;aat meet, and in reverential silence he company rose to their feet, lifted their glasses to their lips, and sipped m solemn silence to the memory of he old gray mare they had just de- f oured. . a p, ' At Daaa.

MORE SERIOUS. THE STREET CAR STRIKE IN CHICAGO. AH DOLT DISFOSmOK BIOIS8 TO MASI- rX8T ITS ILK TBBBATS MADE BY THE 8TBIKBB8 OTHKB BIWd. By Telegraph to tbe Mews and Obserrer. Chicago, Ook 10. A Knight of Labor council in which are represent ed all the Knights of Labor in Cook county, at a meeting last evening adopted resolutions endorsing the action of the striking street-car men and promising them moral and finan cial support. The officers were in structed to inform tbe general execu tive board at Philadelphia of tbe trouble in the city. A committee composed of North Side men and the executive Board of the Council was authorized to investigate the facts and report on them. The discussion preceding the adoption of this reso lution covered the entire case from the time when about three months ago tbe matter was first before the Council. A feature of the debate was that although the Council is in its msioritv com posed of tbe mdst conservative among the Knights of Labor, the only fault they had to find with the officers of the Car-men's Assembly was that thty did not strike a week ago instead of giving three daysgrace. Ibe strike in tbe rnortb and West divisions shows no signs of a speedy settlement. During the night some of the tracks in sympa thetic districts were obstructed by being filled with all sorts of house hold refuse and such other movable things as came to band. It presented tbe appearance of concerted action and was not confined to a single point but extended for a .considerable dis tance. Six ears were running in the North division to the usual accom paniment of jeers, but no open acts of violence hare been reported thus far. The impression prevails, how ever, that the police will have much more trouble in preserving order from this time on until the end of the strike than they have had thus far. No attempt has been made as yet to run cars in the West division and ap pearances indicate that they will not make any general effort for the re sumption of traffic till matters have quieted down somewhat The barns all remained locked, and tbe stable men, except enough of them to care for the horses, hare been discharged. The strikers in this division, who have been through two or three such strikes, exhibit an uglier disposition than those of the North Side. They declare that the cars will not be per mitted to run and if the attempt is made they will be tumbled into the ditch. JCOOB roVLB AT YVlLSOff. The Wilson Mirror, speaking of Judge Fowle's fine effort at Wilson, says: "Judge Fowle then arose in a storm of applause, and delivered one of the grandest and most powerful speeches we hare ever heard. To us it seemed unanswerable, for his logic was invincible, his position invulner able, and his attacks had all the skill of a masterly leadership. For two hours he stood like Oocles at the bridge and hurled back the Mame lukes of misrepresentation that had assailed the record of the Democratic party; and as he thus stood with every fibre of his being quivering with the raging heat of the burning fires of dra matic passion, and bis lips tremulous with tbe roaring current of one of the grandest streams of eloquence that we have ever heard leap from the fountain of the tongue we were re minded of those grand and sonorous and cannon-throated thunderings of oratory 'that trembled Over Greece to Macedon, and shook Artaxerxes throne' His apostrophe to liberty was the magnificent crowning of mag nificent effort, and dazzled the senses with its glowing sunbursts of elo quence even as the eye is dazzled with those flashing streams of elec tricity when tbe storm cloud groans with internal agonies, and vomits out its forked fires in all of their quiver ing brilliances. Some of his thoughts were exauisitelv poetical and bewitch- ingly beautiful, for they bloomed in the fertile soil of his luxuriant garden of richest fancy and blossomed out with all the beautiful tin tings of po etic inspiration. His sentences were grandly eloquent, and shot across tbe sky of his discourse like some of those aerial visitors of light, that pass in meteoric streams of effulgent bright ness o'er the bosom of the night, and maxe a world stand still to watch and gaze in awe and admiration at the beauty and the splendor of their ra diant passage." We suspect that tbe people of Wilson think him a "debater." BO LITTKB rBOM JCDGE THCRfflAH, BIS TIME IS SO TOLUr OCCUPIED THAT BB WILL PBOBABLI HOT WBITS 051.

A strange, wild tale comes over the sea from the land of the unspeakable Turk.' A . story of such atrocious crime and cruelty that it reads more like a romance of the days ox tbe Arabian Nights than a real happening of the year of Our Lord 1888. As it is the story of the foul murder of fourteen unhappy women, one of them an American, who, not many years ago, stood at the portals of fals of fame, it will be read with peculiar interest in this country, and tbe United States government may not pass it by without a rigid bit of international investigation. It has just crept out through friends in Milan, where; she was known as "La Bella .Prima Donna," that Laura Schirmer, a Boston girl, and not .many years ago a rising and popular singer on the American opera stage, has been poisoned with thirteen other inmates of the harem of the Sultan of Turkey, in Constinople, of course, where for centuries the sack or the bowstrjing , has been the prerogative of the Sultan and no one baa been the wiser. The matter has. been kept completely secret, but the friends of the unhappy cantatric6 in Milan claim to have undoubted evidence of this frightful crime, and a ese paper has .boldly leading Milan- stated it as a fact. According to the story the Sultan ia believed to have been incensed at the attempts of the American Minis ter to Turkey, working on behalf of Laura's friends, to get the woman out of her guilded captivity, and so one night poison was placed in the ice-cream furnished to the occupants of the imperial seraglio, and fourteen poor women, including the American S'rl, were founddead in the morning, f course, there was no inquest, no coroner's inquiry, no verdict. The bodies of the victims were hurried away to nameless graves, and the cur tain dropped. When the dogs of Constantinople die their hungry fel lows eat their carcasses, and women are cheaper and less precious than dogs there, for the latter clean the streetsjand keep out pestilence. Ten years ago, when she was only eighteen, Laura Schirmer had already won a jprond place among Boston's concert singers, and a bright future seemed to beckon her to a yet higher place. She was known then as the "Beautiful Laura Schirmer." She had a handsome face and a fascinating manner, and her voice, a light soprano, was of an exquisite quality. Her mother, a Boston woman, was well-to-do, and the daughter was reared in luxury and had the best musical train ing that Boston afforded. The mother even boasted amoag her friends that "Meine liebe Laura", was nobly born, she being connected with the Dutch nobility. Before her twentieth year Jjaura bad made so marked a success on the concert stage that her friends all urged her to study for the operatic stage, and, after a year's study, sang at the Globe Theatre with Charles R. Adams in '-La Jure" and the "Crown Diamonds." Later on she traveled through the United States under Strakosch, singing in "Somnambula", "Lucia di Lammer- moor" and other well-known operas. It waa then she met her evil Junius, the English tenor Byron. She ell in love with him, and went to Europe with him. Her friends say he married her. At any rate they went to Milan to sing and study, and she made her Italian debut there. But it was not long before the Ameri can oolony there began to talk about her unhappy life. Her husband's createst iov. thev said, appeared to be to degrade, the lovely woman who bad linked her fortunes with his. He made her perform the most menial offices, black bis boots, cook his food, and other things far worse, and . she loving him fell easily into the alough of womanhood. She grew coarse and reckless in speech and action. Her voice lost its flexibility, and her face and form showed the effects of her degraded life. She and Byron took a theater and tried management, but made a failure of it. Then they went to Uonstanunople, and tried tt again, and, under the favoring smiles of the Sultan, they succeeded better. Last winter the American colony at Milan heard that Laura had become an in mate of the Saltan's harem. Borne said she had been abducted thither, but others, who knew her tastes and tendencies, believed that she had cone willingly; it. to this captivity And now comes this latest story, and all Milan holds up its hands in horror.

The heavy rains of the latter part of August have been continued during the larger part of September, causing the sprouting of tbe seed in tbe bolls, tbe rotting of the flower and the Bhedding of the top bolls and foliage. The rain and winds have interfered with the pick ing, discolored the fibre, and reduced the grade. Recently the weather has been more favorable and the quality has somewhat improved. Some cor respondents report a short staples The crop is everywhere late and alight frosts threaten the early destruction of plants; yet killing frosts are still in the future and the length of the season. is. tnereiore uncertain. The average -J of tbe reported condition is 78.9, a decline from 83 8 in September. Louisiana and South Carolina show the greatest reduction, and Texas, Florida and North Carolina the least.

Jaaaaer haau This distinguished actress with her great company will open an engage. ment of three nights commencing Wednesday Oct. 17th at Metropoli tan Hall, she will produce "Mackbeth." "Mary Stuart" and "Meg MeYrilies." Madame Janauschek is the acknowl edged queen of the classic drama and no citizen of Baleigh should miss the present opportunity of seeing .this great artiste. We clip the following from the Chicago Telegram: Last evening a large number of admirers of profound and subtle art acting as sembled at the Columbia to witness the world renowned tragedienne Jan ansohek in a grand production of the musical and romantio play, a dramat isation of Sir Walter Scott s novel of Guy Mannering, entitled "Meg Mer riliea." The character of Meg Mer rilies is one calling for an artist thor oughly schooled and educated in the most dunoult and arduous lines- of professional labor and gifted with the genius peculiarly adapted to the in terpretation of complex characters, being thus qualified in the higher ranks of dramatic - art Mine. Janau schek is eminently fitted to wear the mantle of the late Charlotte Cushman. She has a voice that thrills and elec trifies, and by its pleading tones of anguish she wins from the strongest heart emotion and sympathy. She holds her audience spellbound by more than wonderful magnetUm and power of eloquence. After a long career she is still the true representa tive of the heroic drama, still the great artiste whose methods are mod els. She is an actress who combines in her own proper person an infinite variety of dramaiio qualities. She has a power and emotional force greater than Bis tori, a nervous and fiery intention equal to Rachel, and a skill for elaboration and finish only equalled by Bernhardt.

The people arose in their might and de clared they would have no such party w ruie over tbem.

Does anrbodr haliare the Republican party is better now than it was while it held sway in North Carolina T Surely it ia not, for thou- sands of the best men who then be. onged to it, seeing how corrupt it was, left and joined the Democratic party. The logical conclusion is that it is worse now than it was in 1868. Monroe and Express. How any white Democrat can re- fuse to vote fori Judge Fowle on ao J oount of some personal grievance, or t even on account of some imaginary ior reai personal wrong, we Cannes. imagine. The erratic John Randolph took the right view and course in I such matters he voted for a eandi- J date that he despised, and when tbeXN candidate undertook to thank him for his vote, Randolph said no, he wanted x no tnanica that he bad voted for a principle and not for the man. That's the way all decent white Democrats should do in this election vote for . principles and honest government and for maintaining white ascendancy in managing the affairs of State. Shame on sensible men who allow little personal animosities to influence their voteB. The writer of this has very often voted for men who weie not only not his Mends, but who actually opposed his interests. Prin ciple is the thing for intelligent men to be governed by. Charlotte Demo crat. Controversy should be at an end about some things. It -can not be disputed successfully that Republi canism in the South means Radicalism of the intenseBt sort literally "put ting the bottom rail on top in the establishing of negro rule. It can not be denied that Radical rule in North Carolina had well nigh bank rupted the State when the Democrats succeeded at laat in wresting the government from the hands of her despoilers. It can not be denied that Oliver Dockery, if he was so disposed, was powerless to prevent the bad legislation and worse management of public affairs in the dark days of 1868 69, nor that he would be equal ly powerless again to control the Dick Swivelers of his party who are so anxious to revel once more in the sweets of office. It cannot be denied that Radical victory in North. Caro lina means absolute negro rule, at least in the 27 eastern counties where the negroes are indisputably in the majority. It is settled that the Badi-. cal party in North Carolina, when weighed in the balance was found wanting, and that it ia still wanting sadly wanting in the capacity or purpose to serve the true interests of the people of North Carolina. That Oliver Dockery is the chosen candi date of the negro party; that the choice was made by a convention really controlled by negroes; that it. was a negro who named him for the high office to which he aspires, and that his nomination was seoonded by a negro; that he is the' pet ideal of the negro voters, particularly of the most ignorant and intolerant of bis kind; that he is a representative type of the party which inculcates hatred for the more intelligent, moral and upright element of Our voting population; that he is a dead failure aa a farmer, although posing as the reprensenta tiva of the "horny-handed sons of toil n; that he is astride several plat forms, and not standing squarely on either, blowbg hot and then blowing cold, rowing his al- egtance to tbe principles oi ane Farmers' Alliance, and yet diametri- eallv ODDOsed to its cardinal faith on a reduction the taxes; that he is an antiprohibitionist of the most. l pro nounced type and yes wouia na ium power on the back of - the hybrid steed that Walker is "leading "around the State under the assumed charac ter of thoroughbred Prohibition; mat he is easily chief in the arts oi acinar r. in. t.A goguery "ior pojmcni tuwi , wjaa be is allied, toom anu w uui the old and tried enemies of North Carolina, and that his record in poli tics is traced alongside wose oi Holden, Pearson, Deweese, Tour gee tt id ornne genua, and will not "out " at his own or any others' bidding.
