These will be DeArmond, of Missouri, Richardson, of . Tennessee, and Bankhead, of Alabama. Mr. Bai ley, of Texas, the nominal leader in the last house, seeks election to the senate, and it is understood has no desire to continue his lead ership of the lower body. While it is too early to predict the out come of this Democratic contest, the better opinion is that DeAr mond will be nominated by the Democrats. Richardson, however, will be a close competitor for the honor and it ia possible he may be selected. Both gentlemen are strong and popular members, quick and forceful in debate, and with sufficient experience in the house to insure an efficient management of the interests" of the party not only in debate but all that goes with the conduct of the opposition. It was as leader upon: the floor that Thomas B. Reed won-his greatest fame in the bouse.' He became known and feared for the kee'nness, of his retort, his quickness to see the disadvantage of the majority, and his ability to make a point and accentuate it in such manner that it did not escape general-notice and comment. no more on that line prior elections than that peace must restored and order must be enforced.

New York, Oct. 20 Through wild and hoary seas, in a breeze that approached the dignity of a gale, the gallant sloop Columbia today vanquished the British chal lenger Shamrock by 6 minutes and 34 seconds, corrected time, thus completing the - series for the America's cup with a magnificent rough weather duel and a glorious Yankee victory. For the eleventh time theattempir of a foreigner to wrest from America, the yachting supremacy of the world has failed. The intrinsic value of the reward which hundreds of thousands of dollars were expended to secure is small simply an antiquated piece of silverware which Queen Victoria offered to the best sailing ship in the world in the early days of her reign, but around it cluster the precious .memories of unbroken American triumph and the honor of mastery in the noblest of sports. To Sjr Thomas Lipton, whose name is now added to the list of defeated aspirants for the honor of carrying the cup back aross the Atlantic, the failure was a crush ing blow. His hope had been high. But, iike the true sportsman that he is, the sting of defeat has left no bitterness, and with undaunted courage, he intimates that he may be back with a better boat to try again. During his stay here, Sir Thomas has made himself more popular than any previous chal lenger, and the yachtsmen of this country will -be glad to welcome him back. Except for the repeat ed flukes and the Unfortunate acci dent to the challenger on Tuesday, this series of races has been un marred by a single untoward inci dent. The boats have had two fair and square races, one in light airs and the other in a heavy blow, -and Sir Thomas is perfectly satis fled that he was beaten by the bet- oat. V WILL OF MR. PAGE.

The market value of the stock is about $6,500. "To the trustees of the Methodist! Orphanage at Raleigh is devised the Academy of Music on the corner of Martin and Salisbury streets (not in cluding the annex) in trust,to pay one half of the net rents and profits to Mrs. Lula B.

After the death of Mrs. Page the whole shall belong to the orphanage, in fee, with power to dispose of it at any time (with consent! of Mrs. Page, if sold before her death),' and invest the proceeds in other prop erty for like uses. This devise is ex pressed to be in lieu of the balance of the donation of $6,000, which Mr. Page some weeks aco announced his inten tion of making to the orphanage. The trustees of the orphanage, however, are given the option of accepting this de vise) or of taking a donation of $5,500, in cash which, in the event of the declaration of . the trustees of their preference for tie same, the executors are directed to pay to the orphanage, and of such sum $5,000 is to be used towards erection of buildings and $500 is to constitute an endowment fund for the support of the orphanage. !

Gray are named as executors with power to sell and dispose of any of the property at public or private sale, at their discre tion, and without application to any coart." The amount of the estate devised in money, stocks and real estate is esti mated at about 560,000. The property formerly divided among his children was estimated at $200,000. It con sisted of the Aberdeen and Asbeboro Railroad, and large lumber interests in Moore county ; the Commercial and Farmers' Bank building here, the Park Hotel and other real estate, and in addition much stock in various en terprisea.'

Atlanta, Oct. 21. A special from Montgomery, Ala., says : A sensation entirely new in this sec tion, was sprung here today in labor circles. A street fair and trades display will he held here commencing Monday, with a street parade, in which the trades unions were to participate. Today the unions announced that they, would not take part in the parade because the parade committee of the fair declined to allow the negro trades unions a place in the line. The street fair people and the unions appointed committees to confer and try to arrange matters, but without results. The white union men take the position that the white unions have contracts with reference to wage scales, etc., with those composed of negroes, and that they would not deal with an organization that was not responsible and- respectable ; that Jas a regularly organized trades union, the negro union is entitled to a place in the parade, and that the refusal of the fair committee to give -the negroes a place is disrespectful to organized labor rather than to the negro race Ha-M ' nal leader of the minority e lIoor.

Fred Morris, aged 10, visited Coop er's circus. Eluding the vigilance of the keepers he seized the tail of the biggest lion and gave it the severest twist his email hands were able. With an angry roar the beast thrust its paws through the bars, grabbed the child's head and nearly pulled it off before he could be rescued. The scalp was nearly torn off, and the claws scraped the skull in a dozen places. The child is seriously injured. New York Central Directors Authorize a Large Increase of Capital Stock.
