A young lady of Greensboro, one of the students at the Female College in that place, with rare presence of mind prevented what might have been a serious “smash-up’’ on the C. F. & Y. V. railroad on Tuesday last. Three or four box cars had been left standing on the main track near the siding close to the college, and the train for Mount Airy was rapidly approaching in that direc tion. The young lady mentioned— Miss Alderman—seeing that a col lision was inevitable unless the train was stopped, snatched a red shawl from one of her companions, and with this improvised “danger signal’’ waved the train down in time to pre vent a collision. It is said that officers and em ployees of the road have united in preparations for a fitting testimonial to be presented to the young lady in recognition of the forethought and timely action that saved the train from disaster. Church Union. The committee on church union, Northern Fresbpterian church now in session at Saratoga, recommended the continuance of negotiations with the Episcopal and other denomina tions for a closer relation aud co operation between them. Prof. Morris, of Lane Seminary, said that, although the time of the assembly was worth #2OO an hour, he must take exception to the im plied acceptance of the Nicene Creed as a sufficient basis of Christian fel lowship, lacking as it does any state ment of the doctrine of sin, deprav ity, the mediation of Christ, the office of the Holy Spirit, etc. Almost all modern errorists can accept the Nicene Creed. In our report adopted this morning we emphasized the im portance of doctrine. If we accept that creed we must add to it what we consider vital. - Fredericksburg:, Virgin in. At the close of his address Bishop Whittle stated that in view of the rapid growth of the church, the ma terial development of portions of the State and the increasing work among the colored population, he felt it to be his duty to urge the division of the diocese into two or three dioceses. Ten years ago the Bishop refused his consent to a division, and the question was for many years a burn ing one. The Bishop stated that he had been led to change his views by reason of the wonderful changes in the diocese. — Senator Wolcott and Itride. Ilox Springs, N. C., May 23. Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, and his bride, arrived at the Mountain Park Hotel on Sunday.

IN THE SENATE. Mr. Stewart Thinks the Need ol‘ More Money Should Take the Precedence over the Liquor (Question—Mr. Carlisle’s Credentials Pre sented. I»y Telegraph to the News and Observer. Washington, May 24.—1 n the Senate Mr. Wilson, of lowa, asked and obtained unanimous consent i that on Tuesday next, after the rou tine morning business, the bill sub jecting imported liquors to the pro visions of the laws of the several States shall be taken up and its con sidera!ion continued until disposed of. .Mr. Stewart at first objected to the displ icemen t of the silver bill, re marking that he did not think that the country was suffering so much from the liquor business as it was from the lack of currency. lie thought that the people of lo.va could get along better if they had money to pay their debts. Mr. Wilson resented Mr. Stewaft’s remarks, and said that the people of lowa were prepared to pay their debts and were in every respect in as good condition as the people of Nevada. Mr. Stewart —Very well; I inter pose no objection, but hereafter J shall object to anything but appro priation hills until the silver bill is disposed of. Mr. Blackburn presented the cre dentials of John G. Carlisle as Sen ator from Kentucky for the late Mr. Beck’s unexpired term, which com menced on March 4, 1880. Read and placed on file. The naval appropriation bill was taken up. Mr. Cockrell moved to strike out the provision for three sea-going coast line battle-ships not to cost more than four millions each. The debate on this amendment consumed the remainder of the af ternoon, and without action upon it or the bill itself, the Senate ad journed. IN THE HOUSE. The House in Committee of the Whole on the Kiver ami Harbor Hill. By Telegraph to the News and Observer. Washington, D. C., May 24. The House went into committee of the whole (Mr. Burrows in the chair) on the river and harbor bill. The pending question was the point of order against the Hennepin Canal proposition. After argument by Mr. Rogers, of Arkansas, in opposition to the point of order, the chairman rendered a decision oversuling the point of order. Mr. Turner, of Georgia, then moved to strike out the provision for the canal. He contended that the digging of canals by the federal gov ernment was contrary to the consti tution. Messrs. Ilayes, Henderson and Gear, of lowa, and Blanchard, of Louisiana, opposed the motion and spoke in favor of the Hennepin Canal. Mr. Hatch, of Missouri, warned the gentlemen who represented the Mississippi River that the appropria tion for Hennepin Canal would be the death knell to appropriations for the Mississippi River in the future. The motion to strike out was lost —SO to 122. The amendment w r as adopted, reducing from 82,000,000 to 81,000,000 the appropriation for the improvement of the Mississippi River from the head of its passes to the mouth of the Ohio River. Mr. Blanchard explained that this amendment was due to the fact that Congress has but a few weeks ago made an urgent appropriation of 81,000,000 for the improvement of the river on the understanding that a reduction of that amount would be ma le in the river and harbor bill. Bending further action the com mittee rose and the public business was suspended at 4 o’clock, and the House proceeded to pay tributes to the memory of the late David Wil ber, of New Y'ork. Eulogies were pronounced by Messrs. Tracey, Sher man and Farquhar, of New York; Mr. McCormick, of Pennsylvania, and Messrs. Russell, Conn and Mcßae, of Arkansas. Adjourned. SEVERE PUN LSHMENT. The Turkish Officer and Students Imprisoned and to he Banished. By Telegraph to the News and Observer. Constantinople, May 24—Tur kish officer and five students were ar rested by Russian sailors for assault in the wife and daughter of Chief Dragoman of Russian a the garden at Buyukdere and deliv ered by their captors to M. DeNeli deff, Russian ambassador who at first declined to turn them over to Otte man officials, fearing they would es cape punishment, filially delivered them to the Turkish authorities, the offenders were promptly put on trial, found guilty, and sentenced to un dergo imprisonment for six months. In addition to this punishment the Sultan issued a special edict ordering when the sentence expires that the offenders be banished—banished to Tripoli for life. M DeNelidoff satisfied with the punishment inflicted sent a letter to the Sultan thanking him for prompt action by the Turkish au thorities in the case. — Ask for Van Houten’s Cocoa—Take no other. TERI i IBLE TOKNADO. Kentucky t-ic Scene of Another devastating: Storm—Great Dam age to Crops. By Telegraph to the News aiul Observer. Cincinnati, May 24. — Several counties in Kentucky and some of the more southern counties of West Virginia was swept last night by a tornado. The beat today is oppres sive in the extreme and a number of prostrations are reported. About 6 • ’clock the south became overcast ■ith a blue black cloud of ominous ppearance and the plavof lightning and the peals of thunder were ap ■alling. Reports from Mount Ster ing, Paris, Lexington, Maysville, Hcholasville, Xlynthiana, Corinth nd other points are to the effect hat a dangerous storm raged. At m ieholasviile thousands of dollars vorfh of corn was damaged. In larrison county the tobacco crop •as almost entirely ruined, and the !oss will reach a great sum. AtGuyan lotte, West Va., the road leading to lie ferry is washed away,together with i portion of Front streets and a dozen building lots. It will cost 825,000 to repair the damage. The telephone line to Cythntiana, Ky., went down at 9 o’clock in the midst a terrific storm at that place, which is 75 miles inland, showing that the storm w'as of wide extent. All the steamboats on the river were compelled to go ashore. At Bensons Mrs. llubbell was dangerously hurt and four houses blown down. Some men arriving at nine o’clock on the Louisville & Queen road say they passed through one of the most furious storms they ever saw. Trees were twisted and torn in all directions, stream’s banks were full and they believe many lives were lost. Lexington tells of a storm of unusual violence. Indefinite re ports from Somerset, Richmond, Woodruff and other points, tell of great damage to farmers’ property, but no loss of life. Ah Earthquake i^liock. By Telegraph to the News and Observer. Billings, Mont., May 24.—At an early hour yesterday a very severe earthquake shock fell all over this county. There were two separate visitations. The inhabitants were considerably alarmed but the dis turbances have not been repeated. Two brick houses were shaken down and considerable glass shattered. Pictures and brie brae suffered corre spondingly. A dance was in prog ress at the hotel and the severity of the shock floored several of the dancers and left the party in fright. — Weekly Bttnk .Statement.

THE PRESBYTERIANS. The General Assembly at Asheville. Asheville, N. C., May 24.—1 n the Presbyterian General Assembly (South) to-day the paper touching the proposed peace Congress was taken up. It was moved that a mi nority report of the committee which approves of the Church’s action on the paper he adopted instead of the majority report not favoring such action. After considerable discus sion the report was adopted. The special committee on the Evan gelization of the colored race recom mended the organization of colored Sunday schools and the appointment of a field missionary who shall labor for their evangelization. G. H. Flemming, chairman of the committee on the evangelization of the colored race, said the Northern preachers had been ti ied among the negroes, and they had failed to do the good hoped for. The report of the standing com mittee on the Revised Directory of Worship recommends, first, that the question of revision be postponed in definitely; second, the striking out of chapter 10 of the Revised Direc tory of Worship. The report was adopted. Col. J. J. Wade offered a resolu tion of thanks to the citizens of Asheville for their bountiful and ele gant hospitality during the session of this grand assembly, which resolu tion was adopted by a rising vote. The Moderator stated that the clerk reported no other business be fore tbe body. Devotional exercises and then the Moderator pronounced the benediction, dis solved the Assembly and called the next year’s Assembly to meet in the First Presbyterian church at Bir mingham, Ala., the third Thursday in May, 1891. __ Sun’s Cotton Report. By Telegraph to the News and Observer. New York, May 24.—The Sun’s cotton review says: Cotton futures were very dull in the absence of advice from the Liverpool market, which is closed. The slow progress of the silver bill and good accounts from the growing crop left the bulls without effective support, and there was an irregular decline, August giving way most. There is noth ing of special interest in the weekly details of the crop reports from the South. They are pretty uniformly favorable, and if there he no serious drawback the receipts of new cotton in August will exceed all precedents. Cotton on the spot was dull and weak.

How a I.ove Feast is Celebrated. Reading, Pa., May 22.— The an nual love feast of the Dunkards, or German Baptists, at Zeigler’s church, near here, took place today and wa3 attended by about a thousand peo ple. In the attic of the meeting house are beds and cradles with bedding for the women who came a long dis tance and wished to rest during the day, and also for those who remain all night, as the love feast lasts two days. The elders, with long hair parted in the middle, occupy a table in the main audience room. The cooking is done in the basement of the church. An ox was slaughtered today for meals and for the Lord’s Supper. The slaughter of the lamb was omitted. Bishops David Etter and John Ilartzler, and Elders Cline and Buc ker officiated. Then the backs of the seats were transformed into tables for the celebration of the holy commun ion. Upon each table were ten water bowls and twenty spoons. Then each member present was appealed to to forgive any ill feeling engendered during the past year. First feet washing was indulged in. The brethren girt their loins with towels and washed and wiped each other’s feet. The women, arrayed in black dresses and white caps, also washed each other’s feet while hymns were sung. After this the Lord’s Supper was spread, consisting of white bread and beef soup, with rice. Every set of four brethren and every set of four sisters ate soup out of one dish, two sitting on one side of the narrow table and two on the other, so that four could easily dip their bread into the bowl and use their, spoons. Then came the “holy kiss,” the brethren and sisters kissing each other on the lips. Unfermented grape wine was drunk. The un leavened bread in strips was passed by one brother to another, but the Bishops broke bread for the sisters. — The Northern Presbyterians on Revision. The committee recommends that an overture be transmitted to the Presbyteries asking if a chapter shall be added to the form of government making provision for the amendment and alteration of the Confession of Faith, the larger and shorter cate chisms, the form of government, th(s book of discipline and the directory of worship. The vote was then called for, and when those in favor of such a meas ure were requested to say “aye” there was a mighty roar. Then the “nays” were called for, and there was but one dissenting voice, the Rev. T. F. White, of Summit, N.J., casting the only negative vote. Great applause - followed the an nouncement, and the question of re vision which had so long been pend ing had received the first definite answer. It was certainly a victory for the revisionists. Os course the decision is no final solution of the problem, but it is a long step for ward. Great joy was expressed at the happy termination of the contest. One delegate, in a loud voice, called for the singing the “Doxology.” He was not heard by the Moderater, how ever, but Dr. Howard Crosby was re quested to lead the Assembly in a prayer of thanksgiving to God for his guidance to a happy solution of the problem which seemed to portend such great and insurmountable diffi culties. !■! • !■ Biicklen’s Arnica Salve.

W. 11. & R. $• Tuckek & Co. Chattanooga, Tenn., May 24,’90. Ground was broken today at Kim ball, the new town in Marion county, on the banks of the Tennessee. Not withstanding the fact that the start ing of new towns in the South is now of frequent occurrence, yet the unu sual importance of this occasion in duced Gov. Taylor, the State officials of Tennessee, and many distinguished citizens of this and other States to assemble in its honor. Maj. Thomas, president of flu* Nashville, Chattanooga and St Louis Railroad, brought in his pri vate bar a party composed of some o the fairest daughters of Tennes-c one of whom drew the flag to the to; of the stately liberty p.d-* that h. • been planted on the sum nit of . symmetrical Indian mound which one of the interesting feutur. > <•/ lovely locality. Prof. Edward II .1 director of the Geological Survey < Ireland, threw the first spadeful o earth, and Prof. J. M. Salford, Stuu Geologist of Tennessee, the next. Addresses were made by Gov. Tay lor and other distinguished men. The central event of the day was the brief inaugural address of lion. 11.1. Kim ball, the Chief Executive Manager of this enterprise. In this epigramatio style he showed tlyit his event was the Key to unlock the immense treasures of the whole Sevuatchee Valley, and he portrayed in glowing terms the vast industrial development that would result in the establishment of a manufacturing center at this point that would rival the most noted pla | ces of the kind in Great Britain and I Germany. I It is well known in this section that Mr. Kimball invariably accomp lishes far more than he promises : therefore his brief address has had a most magical effect, and it is the uni versel opinion here that the christen ing sale of the city lots at KIMBALL, June 10th and Ilth, will be, in all respects, the most successful of any yet held, and that the purchasers will chiefly be genuine setU r- h > have absolute faitn in the enterprise.
