loaport&Mt Decision by the
U. B. Supreme
Conrt.
By Telegraph to the News and Observer.
"Washbsgtoh, D, C, Nov. 14 The
Supreme Court of the United States
through Chief Justice Fuller has ren
dered an opinion of unusual interest
to holders of life insurance policies.
Thomas L- Hume, of the District of
Columbia, died in 1831, totally insol
vent but leaving $35,000 in life insur
ance policies. These policies were
by their terms payable either to the
widow or children of the deceased.
The administrators and creditors of
Hume's estate sought to force the
application of the proceeds of the
policies to the payment of the debts
due his creditors on the ground that
the premiums paid by Hume were a
fraud the transfer of an insolvent
estate and void as against the cred
itors, and that consequently the pro
ceeds of the policies Bhould inure to
the benefit of Hume's estate and not
to the beneficiaries named in the poli
cies. The Supreme Court holds that
the beneficiaries are entitled to the
proceeds of all the -policies
without any deductions whatever
on account of the premiums .paid,
holding that .the husband and father
have the full right to insure his life in
the interest of his wife and children,
and that where such policies are ef
fected in the name of the beneficiaries
they are no part of he estate of the
deceased insolvent, and therefore can
not be regarded as a fraudulent as
signment of any part of his estate
when so effected.

Nkw York, Not. 14- The suit
brought by the Attorney-General on
behalf of the people of the State of
New York against the North River
8ugar Refining Company to dissolve
that corporation on , the ground that
it bad exceeded the privileges granted
it by iti charter in becoming one of
the members of the great sugar trust
on October 1, 1887, and other sugar
companies, was brought to trial to
day in the Supreme Court. The ao
tion is one of the remits of the Sen
ate investigating committee of last
winter, which, fori the first time,
brought to light the deed of trust
under which the different sugar
companies have formed the oombina-
I tion.
It was substantially agreed
at the
outset by the counsel that there
would be no controverted question
of fact for the court to pass upon
but it would merely be a question of
law. The formality of drawing the jury
was then gone through with. The jury
were told that as the only, question
at issue was one of law for the court
to pass upon their services would
not be needed at the trial. They
were only required to be present at
the end of the ease to go through
the formality of rendering the ver
diet as directed by the court. The
counsel agreed that the testimony to
be offered would not take any
very great length of time and
that after today they would
ask to have the case adjourned
until Wednesday next in order to ar
gue the question of law with this nn
derstanding. The jurors were dis
missed until next Wednesday. Attor
ney General Tabor opened the case for
the people and the taking of testimony
was begun. The witnesses are some
of those who were before the State
Committee, and also before the Con
gressional Committee investigating
the trusts, and the facts today stated
ive already been told.

This Sunday morn-tig mrkd ihe be
ginning of the work of prayer now
going on throughout the world for
the young men of the world. A
goodly number were present and an
hour's time was occupied. Mr. E L
Harris, the secretary of Raleigh As
sociation, led the meeting from the
Soriptures in an admirable and im
pressive style. Some few of the older
(bombers were present. Among the
young men were those twins in faith
and good works Johnny Pullen and
Tommy Blake, and Mr. W. M. Curtis,
4f the University, a young man of
great promise, preparing to preach
the gospel, who had been invited to
be present to tell about ; work in col
leges by the Y. M- C. Associations.
In the afternoon, at half past three
O'clock, a large audience assembled at
the Baptist Tabernacle to listen to
remarks by Rev. W. M. Clark, rector
of the Church of the Good Shepherd,
a'nd to Mr. Curtis, already referred
to. In common with the Young
Men's Christian Associations for oil
lands, the day was observed in special
prayer for the young tnan of the
world. Mr. Clark ably and forcibly
Bpoke of its origin and its wonderful
gowth under God in our country,
called forth, as it had been, by the
great and increasing need of a social
work to reach all classes of our un
saved nine millions of young men.
rThe associations are the allies and
friends of the Church of Christ and
aet as an auxiliary to all the branches
of the church to reach, instruct and
a&oe young men.
jMr. Curtis spoke chiefly of whs" ha
hid learnow tho past summer at
Nor'hfield with Mr. Moody, when in
conference with college men. The
active Christian work in colleges an 1
the foreign missionary spirit getting
abroad in the land is remarkable.
In North Carolina there are seven
Young Men's Christian Associations
in colleges. i
Mr. Curtis talks well- His self-
possession is remarkable for a young
man. His style is clear end simple,
and his mind seems crowded with
valuable facts. He will j make h's
mark for good in the world
Mr. H. W. Jackson, the president
of the Association, presided over the
motottng, and the Rav. ft it. 'Williams

So, with Sunday schools. Commenced
in Worcester, England in 1880, they
hate "kept company with the hours,"
to Tise the figure of Mr. Webster,

morning drumbeat of .bnglaad is
heard, there also is heard the bell

They reached America in 1806, in the
Episcopal church. The Young Mecs'
Christian Association came to Jvu
eigh in 1855, having been brought
hither by that good man John Arm
strong from New York. I became a
meinber of it in 1872.
Raleigh is probably the mosl mor
al place of its size in the Stat; yet it
haa recently been ascertained that of
its 1,600 young white meni only five
hundred belong to churches. Two
third, of our young men ars there
fore without God and without hope
in the world, and exposed . to mam
fold temptations. This j appalling
fact should ring like seven fold thun
der in the ears of our people, moving
them to action to take steps to save
these young men. Agencies for ruin
ing, men are multiplying. There are
twenty-five saloons or grogshops m
fulf blast nearly all night. There
are'olaoes where dissipation and all
kinds of sin abound day and night
These one thousand young men and
may old '.and middle-aged men are
thus lured to destruction by men and
woinen whose object is money. The
Towner Men's Christian Association
needs money to carry on its work
Let our, people aid it with liberal

which is so holpful to the church.

By Telegraph to the Hews and Obserrer.
Atlahta, Ga., Nov. 14. In his in
augural addresB yesterday Governor
Gordon said: If there be one princi
ple of government dearer than all
others to American freemen it is the
independence, equality and freedom
of the States. This is the central
thought of our political faith. It is
the key-stone in the arch of our con
stitution and when that is destroyed
the doom of "constitutional freedom
is sealed. When the independence
and equality of the States are struck
down the Republic falls. Strangula
tion of States by Federal intervention
will never be tolerated by the A.meri
c.tn people. What possible excuse
could be given for interference by the
general government in the affairs of
Georgia that would not also justify
in erference with any State in the
United S'atee? What evil exiats
here that does not exist elsewhere
and which is so full of danger that
to correct it the fundamental law
must be ignored and statehood im
perilled? With th9 colored race in
Gborgia represented on her tax books
by its millions of accumulated wealth;
wnn lou.uuu colored cnudren in our
public schools against 60,000 prior to
our recovery of tne state government;
with equal laws administered by im
partial courts for the protection of all;
with the ballot in colored bands and
its full use secured to them, when
ever and wherever -they may choose
to wield its power; with the race
problem gradually working out, under
providence, its own solution; with
the relations of the races becoming
more and more harmonioup; with the
interests of both races assimilating
and improving steadily and rapidly;
what justification or possible pretext,
I repeat, could be found for plung
ing this commonwealth, with her sis
ter Southern States again into the
abysses from which our people have
so recently and bravely delivered
themselves ? There are men in high
places whose misjudgments of the
bias,3oulhern people,or whose section
al would lead them to the very thresh
old of revolution and destroy legisla
tion but in the light of public senti
ment as illustrated by the cordial re
union of both armies at Gettysburg
and elsewhere; with the cause of sec
tiQCal strife dead, and lingering dis-
oqrd rapidly dying; w.th peace
arid pro-perity brightening and
cheering alike to both South
ern and Northern homes; with
the ties of sectional intercourse mul
tiplying and strengthening; with
northern products in the hands of
Sou' hern consumers and Northern
money in Southern bonds, railroads,
mills and mines; with material inter
ests and political liberty at stake.
how exn w rlonhk that nonduQnaUon
by the great conservative masses
of our Northern countrymen would
cause even the most considerate of
leaders to turn from the brink of such
a precipice t Take courage, then, in
the thought that our interests are
theirs ; our State freedom their Slate
freedom ; and the?, whatever be the
demands of partisan leaders, the day
has long since passed when the
American people can contemplate the
destruction of .this union by destroy
ing the equality of the States that
compose it. We owe it to ourselves
and to our children; we owe it to
both races, whose interests are linked
by immutable decrees to a common
destiny ; we owe it to each and all of
our sister. States ; we owe it to the
vital principles of our free institu
tions to renew our vows of fidelity to
and unfaltering support of a union of
equal and independent States.

A register of deeds before issuing
a marriage license is to make reason
able inquiries concerning the parties
and unless it appear to him from such
inquiries that it is probable that there
are no impedimenta to tne marriage,
he cannot lawfully issue the license.
The Court will judge whether he has
made the proper inquiries for the
fact of no impediment to appear
probable to him. In this case the
register did not make sufficient in

Br. Dcpew's Story A bant ta. Selection mt
General Harrison for President.
N. Y. Commercial Adrrrllser.
Chaunoey M. Depew is authority
for the statement that Gen. Benjamin
Harrison owes his elevation to the
presidency of the United States pri
marily to the effects of a. dinner
party. Many persons have heard of
the dinner given by Mr. Depew to
the New York delegation after his
withdrawal from the presidential con
test, on the second day of the con
vention. But the effects of that din
ner have not been made public until
Mr. Depew told of it Thursday.
"After the first day's balloting,"
paid Mr. Depew, "it was apparent
that the West was so much opposed
to the candidacy of a railroad presi
dent that there was no show for me;
so I determined to withdraw. Then
the important question was: Whom
should the New York delegation sup
port t Their preferences were ndm
erous. Some insisted on voting for
Blaine till the end, and others wanted
to break for Sherman, Gresham and
the other candidates. As chair
man of the delegation I called a con
ference of the four delegates at
large, who, of course, controlled in a
measure the course of the delegation.
We met, Senator Hiscock, Thomas O.
Piatt, Warner Miller and myself. I
spoke first, and proposed that Benja
min Harrison should be supported,
as he was the most available maa on
account of his record as a soldier, his
record in the United States Senate,
and, I confess, I urged his adoption
by us on the sentimental ground that
he was the grandson of old Tippeca
noe. But the other delegates at large
did not look at matters through my
spectacles. Mr Piatt favored another
man, Senator Hiscock had a different
choice, and Warner Miller wanted a
third man Sli'l, we were all willing
to surrender our preferences in favor
of the others for the good of the par
ty." No, I won't tell you the prefer
ences of the other delegates. I only
say that I alone favored Harrison A
long discussion ensued. I did my
share of the talking, you may be sure,
and the result of the discussion was
that the four of us agreed on Harri
son. Then I called a meeting of the
whole New York delegation.: All
werepresent. I told them of the ac
tion of the delegates at 'arge, and
asked their opinions. Fifty-eight
agreed with us and twenty-four dif
fered. No amount of persuasion could
convince them that Harrison was the
man to win.
"Here was a snag of large size.
New York wanted the honor of nam
ing the President; still it could not be
the deciding factor in the' convention
unless, after my withdrawal, it would
go solidly for some other candidate.
What did I dot Well, I thought the
matter over for an hour, and then in
vited the delegation to dinner. I did
not try to convince the recalcitrants.
I simply gave them good things to
eat and good drink to enlighten their
understanding. And behold the re
sult! By the time the dinner was
ouvlvnl evij M.iUa tltim
was shouting for Harrison. This re
sult was largely due to speeches by
Senator Hiscock, Warner Miller, ex
Senator Piatt and Senator Faasett,
who, after the first conference,
heartily supported Harrison. The
rest is ancient history. New York
voted for Harrison, and he was nomi
nated by acclamation. The dinner
solidified New York'- vote. Wbafs
the matter with a good dinner as a
political factor?" aeked Mr. Depew,
laughing heartily.

Questions at Ime Between the Unite
States and Mexico.
It is learned at the Department of
State at Washington that the conflict
over the course of the Bio Grande
river at El Paso, between the in
habitants of that place, and the Mexi
can dwellers at Paso del Norte, on
the opposite side of the river, is not
a new question, but that the matter
has been the subject of correspond
ence between the governments of
Mexico aad the United States for the
past two years. The first complaint
came from the Mexicans and was to
the effect that the El Paso Land and
Improvement Company had con
etructed works along the Ameri
can shore of the river which
were resulting in heavy erosion
of the Mexican bank. To prevent
this, the Mexicans constructed a se
ries of wing dams on their side, which
projected slightly into the river and
arrested the process of erosion there,
but transferred it, aa it is asserted by
the Americans, to the Texas side
The Texan authorities complained of
this state of affairs, and meanwhile
the Mexicans retaliated with a charge
that the El Paso water supply pipe
bad been projected far enough into
the river to affect navigation. The
matter is still under d'scussion be
tween the two governments. The
treaty of 1884 forbids the construc
tion of works on either banks that
may interfere with navigation or
change the course of the river, so that
the questions at issue are largely
those of facts, as to whether or not
the operations on either side have or
will actually result in interference
with navigation or erosion of the
banks.
