t'f 1 v i Carolina Watchman. THURSDAY APRIL 3, 1810. Charlottesville, Va., is to have beltline railroad four miles in length. The truckers around Norfolk, Va., report great destruction to crops by the recent freeze. A financial exhibit of the State of North Carotin snows nineteen na tional banks, with a capital of $2,425,- 000. The commencement exercises of the Leonard Medical College, of Raleigh, has been held, and six colored doctors are now on the book. Travel and traffic on the High Poiut, IUndleman and Ashboro railroad is so heavy of late that it is impossible to do the work with one train a day. The maintenance and expenses of the Virginia oyster fleet, according to the report, is nearly five thousand dol lars more than the revenue for the oyster tax last year. Judce Armfield's iudcrments are al- ways tempered with mercy, says the Durham Globe. A crying baby dis turbed the court this morning and the judge ordered the' sheriff to go out and buy it a stick of candy to hush it. Advices from various parts of the rice belt in the Carolina indicate that the planters are further ahead with their crops than ever before. The fair weather which has prevailed during al most the entire winter has given them ample opportunity for getting the crop planted, and they have taken advan tage of it everywhere. A passenger train on the Northern Pacific Railroad was wrecked near Mixon, Montana. . The cars took fire and all were burned except two sleep- era. Express Messenger Miles is miss ing, and it is supposed he was burned to death. Two emigrant passengers, two lady tourists, one child, the bag gage master, a postal cleik and porter of the tourists sleeper were injured. J Themovement on foot at Winston, N. C, to secure a $50,000 joint stock tobacco factory has met with gratify ing success. Already proposals for much more than the amount of, stock first proposed for the factory have re ceived, and now some of those 'most interested in the enterprise are endeav oring to increase the stock to $200,000, which would make it the biggest plug factory in the State. The Flack case just decided in New York City has attracted a great deal of attention. The sheriff of New York City and county with his son and an other person named Meeks has just been convicted of conspiracy in obtain ing a divorce. All three have been convicted of conspiracy in obtaining a divorce, and have been setenced to terms of imprisonment besides being fined. Appeals have been taken. As will be seen by telegraphic dis patches in another column, ur coun try has been visited during the past week by fearful tornadoes and floods. The cyclone that passed over Louisville, I Kentucky, was the worst in every par ticular that we have record of, while the Mississippi river is higher at cer tain points than ever before, overflow ing and breaking the levees and caus ing almost inestimable damage to property. Ex-Priest Boyle, who was convicted of rape in Raleigh last summer and who afterwards was granted a new trial, has been acquitted; s What a pity here is no law-that can take him in hands and punish him as he richly de serves. The scene when the jury re turned their verdict was simply dis graceful. Although the audience was warned by the judge not to make any demonstration, as soon as the verdict was given cheering commenced and kept up for five minutes and numerous calls were made for this libertine to make a speech. The convention supplementary to the tenth article of the treaty of 1832 between Great Britian and the United States concluded at Washington, July 12, 1889, and ratifications exchanged at London, March 11, 1890, has been proclaimed. The provisions of the tenth article are made applicable to the following additional crimes: Em bezzlement, larceny, receiving any money, valuable security or ot her prop erty, knowing the same to have been embezzled, stolen or fraudulently ob tained. Fraud by a bailee, banker, agent, trustees, or director or member or officer of any company, made crimi nal by the laws of both countries. Perjury or subornation of perjury. The Tariff Bill. Washington, March 31. At a special meeting of the Ways and Mean-) Committee to-day, Chairman McKinlef presented the Republican tariff trill' The minority will be al lowed' ten days in which to offer amend ments, and prepare their views upon the bill, and such amendments as may be made before the bit I is reported to the Hous. The bill accordimHo Chairman Mc- Kinlev will effect a reduction of $45,- 000,000. THE DUTY ON LEAF TOBACCO. Suitable for cigar wrappers, stemmed and uustemmed, is considerably la creased. Under existing law, the stemmed quality is dutiable at $1 per pound, and this is increasea in tne . ... . -v w i mi Mckinley bill to VZ.lo per pouna. me duty on uustemmed is increased from 75 cents to $2 pernonud. A proviso is inserted to the effect that if any por tion of any tobacco imported in any package or in bulk will be suisable for cigar wrapper;, the entire quality of tobacco contained in such package, or bulk, shall be dutiable, if not stemmed, at $2. and if stemmed at $2,73 per pound. No change is made in regard to all other tobacco in leaf. Unmanufac tured and not stemmed tobacco is duti able at 50 cents per pound. Tobacco manufactured and of all descriptions not speedily enumerated or provided for, is placed at 40 cents per pound, a change from the present duty of 30 per cent, advalerera. No cli:mre is made in regard to snuff, and uuff flour made of tobacco. Cigars, cigarettes, and cheroots of all kinds, are made dutiable at $-4.iU per pound, and 25 per cent, advalorem. PROTECTING THE FARMER. The duty on agricultural products is erreatlv increased. The increase is all along the line, and is designed to give farmers a market for many millions worth of products now imported. The duty on barley is increased from 10 to 30 cents per bushel; barley malt trom 20 to 4o cents; oats from 10 to lb cents: oat meal from to 1 cent per pound; cleaned rice reduced from 2 to. 2 cents per pound; uncleaned reduced from 1 to 1 cents; paddy reduced from ll to ? cents; rye flour is increas ed from i cent to 1 cents per pound, wneat is mcreiiseu iruiu &v ecu us iu o cents per bushel; aud wheat flour in creased from 20 percent, to 25 per cent. advalorem. The dutv on butter and cheese is increased from four to six cents per pound. Eggs, now admitted free of duty, are made to pay five cents per dozen; eabbages 6 cents each; broom corn $8 per ton : cider 5 cents per gallon; onions 40 cents per bushel Hay is increased from 5s to $4. per ton, and hops from 8 cents to lo cents per pound. The duty on oranges when imported in packages 'is doubled, but when m bulk it is increased 40 cents per thou sand, No change is made in the duty on lemons when imported m bulk; but those in packages are subjected to an increase of about (50 per cent. All nuts except a! moos, filbert, and peanuts are reduced h cent per pound mi t I 11 1 he duty on bacon and bams lSy re duced from 5 to 2 cents per pound on beef, mutton, and pork, from 2 to 1 cent. A BOUNTY ON SILK. Uaw silk is left on the free list, and a bounty is paid to producers in this country. A bounty or 7 cents per pound is proposed for cooons raised in this country, and $1 per pound on reel ed silk, to be paid for ten years. THE INTERNAL REVENUE FEATURES of the bill, contain a number of inter esthig charges from the existing law It is provided that after May 1, 1891 the special taxe3 upon dealers and re tail dealers in tobacco, manufactures of tobacco, or cigar m ikers, and ped dlers of tobacco, shall cpase; but the dealers and peddlers wilf be obliged make registration with internal revenue collectors of the district. Farmers and growers of tobacco are also exemp from the present tax after may 1,1891 Peddlers are obliged, however, to give bond to the government. The bill provides that after January 1st, 1891, the internal taxes on smok ing and manufactured tobacco, and on snuff shall lie reduced to four cents per f pound. A drawback equal to the ful amount of the reduction is to be al lowed 48li all origiual and unbroken packages of tobacco, snuff, cigars, che roots and cigarettes, held by the man ufactures or dealers at the time the re duction shall go into effect. The United States Court at Lynch burg, Va., is filled with cases for vio lating the internal revenue laws, the majority of which are for retailing liquor without liceuse, the parties in nearly every case having sold from a keg or can, and the effences were com mitted in the mountains of Southwest ern Virginia. Nine-tenths of these cases are sent to the grand jury upon information of men who do it to ob tain witness fees and mileage. In many cases it developed that the same witnesses appear at all the courts of the district, and so long have some of these men engaged in the professional witness business that they have be come experts. The Ktindleman Manufacturing company at Asheboro, N. CM proposes to add 800,000 more brick to its im provements this year. The increase in its business and the growing demands for its good necessitate more build ing and more machinery. Washington Letter. (From our regular correspondent.) Washington, March 31, 1890. Rnsa Ounv has returned, and the very firat thing he did was to order the Senators of his party to confirm the nominations of the Florida officials that the protests and charges of th Florida Senators have bad "hung up" for some time, and the re sult was the liveliest secret session of the Senate for many a day. The Dem ocratic Senators did not mince words in attacking the men that Quay was cracking his whip to have coufirned, nd the Senate adjourned without onfirming them, but af course Mr. Quay will see to it that they are con finned this week. At a meeting of the executive com mittee of the Jfatioual Association of Democratic clubs held here Saturday, it was determined to take an active part in the coming campaign not withstanding the gentle hint given by certain leading Democrats that no help was needed from the clubs. Mr. Carlisle is a believer in the good ac complished by clubs and so is Mr. Cleveland, and in fact the majority of good Democrats. The headquarters of the executive committee will in fu ture be in this city instead of New York. The Commissioner of Pensions es timates that it will take $40,000,000 a year to meet the service pension bill proposed by the Mouse committee on Invalid Pensions. The woman suffrage folks are jubi lant offer the passage bv the House of the bill to admit Wyoming as a State. with a constitution providing for woman suffrage. The Democrats sol idly opposed the bill and they had the assistance of one solitary Kepubucan. The House, after making the date for holdiug the World's Fair, from Ann to .November lovd passed tne 7 . ... . . . . bill, and it is now before the special Senate committee. Seuator Daniel has offered an amendment providing for a celebration to take place in this city on October 14, 1892, ou the occasion of the unveiling of the proposed mon ument to Columbus. Representative Seney, who has just returned from Ohio,says"l don t think tho reJUtncting of the bt ate assures the Democrats as much as some count on. I he districts are shaped to give not fifteen, but eight out of that fif teen have Democratic majorities of less than 1,500 which is a narrow margin in Ohio politics. After a grand flourish of trumpets and the adoption of enough amend- mcnts to kill a dozen bills, the Senate referred Senator Sherman s alleged anti-trust bill to the Judiciary Com mittee. with instructions to report it back in twenty days. It would not have hurt the trusts in anv way if it had been adopted just as Mr. Sherman introduced it, and it is very certain that it will be equally as harmless when it is reported from the Juliciary Com mittee. Senator Morgan has introduced bill, which if there was any possibility of its ever becoming.a law would in reality curb the rapidly growing now er of the trusts in this country, but that is just what the Republican mil lion aires of the Senate do not want. Next Saturday we shall see .vhether the powers that be really want to en force the civil service law. Two offi cials of the Virginia Republican club are to be tried on that day for ,solici'- ing campaign contributions from of fice holders in violation of that law There is no doubt of the guilt of the i i i men, and every oouy is anxious to see at a I it 1 1 whether they are to oe punished or acquitted. It's dollars to brass but tons that nothing will be done with them. Representatives Bland, of Missouri and Williams, of Illinois, in a strong minority report against the Windom silver bill say that in their opinion the bill is very adroitly drawn to suspend silver coinage, to totally demonetize this metl and to permanently establish the single standard of gold payments Ihe election committee of th t T 1 1 1 1 i ii nouse has dec idea to unseat two more Democrats Wise, of Virginia and Turpin, of Alabama. Hearings have been going on before the Republicans of the House Ways and Means Committee just as vigorous ly during the last few days as when the tariff bill was first began. The Republicans have promised to lay the bin oerore the whole committee to morrow, and if they do, it will soon get before the House, but it isn't safe to count on anything about this bill. owing to the kickers in that party. it is now regarded as a certainty that Assistant Postmaster General Clark- son will leave the Government service this spring. His resignation is said to be now in the hands of Mr. Wanaraaker, and was handed in be cause of a hint from Mr. Harrison that itwould be acceptable to him. It is rumored that Mr. Blaine in tends to have a proposition made 4o the Pan American Congress for abso lute reciprocity of trade with South and Central American countries. Jas. P. Davis, who was hung last week at Pittsboro for the murder of J. D. Horton, had a most remarkable record of crime. Davis was only an assumed name, his real name being Shackelford. He was born in South Carolina, and was a member of a very prominent family in that State. He has been a Methodist and a Baptist preacher, and had committed murder besides other more horrible crimes be fore he came to this State. His sen tence was just, and his bearing on th scaffold showed that he was a most desperate and devilish character. Father Boyle is Free. Raleigh, O, March 29 The testimony in the new trial of J. J. Boyle, ex-Catholic priest, was conclud ed this morning. No new facts have been developed. The evidence is sub stantially the same as in-the former trial. The argu ment in the case be- s;an at 11:30 this morning and wa3 i concluded at 8 o'clock. Solicitor Argo prosecuted alone on behalf of the State and was the only speaker for the girl, Geneva Whitaker. Three of Boyle's counsel, Col. T. C. Fuller, R. H. Battle and George H. Snow, spoke in his be half. Judge McCrea delivered a charge over an hour in length, and at 9:30 gave the case to the jury. At 11:50 o'clock the lury came into the court room. The judge entered lis stand and remarked: UI want it understood that there must be no de monstrations from either side when he verdict is announced." The jury was then asked for their decision, and hey all simultaneously replied, ki Not . ' In spite of the dges order there was a wild burst of applause from hun dreds of throats in tne crowded court room, and this was kept up for five minutes. People crowded around and congratulated him heartily. Then they began to call on him far a speech, but his leading attorney mounted table and loudly announced that Boyle would not make a speech. He went immediately back to jail, where he re mained till rather Charles, of the Church of the Sacred Heart, came for him in a carriage and took him to the rectory as his guest The Misssippi Flood. St. Louis, Mo.. March 31. M. J. J llogan, of the Memphis Commercial, arrived here to-dav. direct from the flooded district along the Mississippi river. air. tlogan has just completed a tour of the devastated region. He says - r TY 9 111 the situation is alarming, and that in his opinion the flood has not reached the highest notch. In the Laconia circle, which is sit uated in Despa county, Arkansas, and comprises about 20,000 acres, the scene is a heartrending one. 1 his strip of country is now inundated to a depth of five to twenty feet, and the inhabitants, numbering 2,000 or 3,000 people, whites and negroes, women and chil dren, are perched on house-tops and in -i i trees. Live stock not already drowned are maintaining a precarious existence with their wretched owners, in some instances, on the roofs ef residences and elsewhere on the improvised plat forms of wreckage. starvation is telling on the cattle, while the human victims are in scarcely less deplorable condition as to food. From Helena the entire Mississippi delta country reaching from Vicksburg west to Shreveport and down to .New Orleans seems doomed to destruction. Mr. Hogan reports that all the pewple in the wide district there are fleeing for their lives. New Orleans. March 30. Latest news from breaks: Offutt's Mill Skip with, 750; Easton, 900; and Hunting ton, 500, and all except Offutt's caving rapidly. It is now given up that the entire country from Lake Bolivar to the Warren county hills will be flooded. A large number of papers in the State favor honest Joe Caldwell of the Statesville Landmark for Governor. This is not idle talk, for the papei that advocate his nomination are edited by men who know him best and appre ciate his conspicuous ability and his fitness for the place. There is no po sition that he has ever filled, from that of printers devil to editor of one of the leading and ablest weekly papers in the State, that he has not adorned and the duties of which he not faithfully and honestly discharged, and there is no oflk e within the gift of the people, the responsibilities and duties of which he would not discharge ably and hon orable, with an eye single to the good of his country, and his constituency. In character Mr. Caldwell is more like Cleveland than any other man we know, in his rugged honesty of purpose and devotion to duty, and, like Cleveland, there is no office to which he could be elevated the discharge of the duties and obligations of which he would not be eqnal to.

A terrific cyclone passed over a por tion of Illinois and Kentucky last ni-ht, totaly destroying Bowling Green, Ky., Nashville, 111., and Metropolis, III., aud doing serious injury to life and property in Cairo, Carboudale, and Coultersville, 111., and Louisville, Ky. The greatest oesirucuon 10 me aim property was m Louisville. The first report sent out from Louis ville was short aud gave no particulars. "Shortly after 9 o'clock a tornado swept over this city," it said, "wrecking two or three hundred houses, and killing two hundred people, The wind came from the southwest. The uuion depot, at the foot of seventh street, was lifted, from its foundation and turned over in the raging torrent of the Ohio River. A train of cars making up for the Louis villo Southern road went over with the buildine. Falls City Hall, on West Market- street, was wrecked. "In the hall were over a hundred peo ple, and but few of them escaped alive. -Man v buildings after tailing, caught fire and the inmates were burned AH the streets are blockaded with debris of fallen buildings or telegraph and electric wires." Even yet it is almost impossible to get news direct and nearly all; the' news is wired from adjoining cities. A special from Washington states that the loss of life will not fall below 200. All telegraphic communication with the citv was shut off shortly after 9 o'clock and was not resumed for hours and all of the first dispatches were carried out of the city and sent by railroad wire An eye witness of the storm tells the following: "I only saw the course of it from Four- teeuth and Waluut to Eleventh and Mar ket streets. From this latter point it followed its course to Seventh and River, where it left the city, and, striking across the river, reached Jefferson ville at the foot of Spriug street. Little damage was done in JefferaonviIIe. "However, in Louisville the devasta tion is terrifio and the loss of lives will certainly reach one hundred, or more In one building, at Twelfth aud Market street, two lodges and a dancing schoo were in session, there being in the build ing pernaps one-nunarea people, many of whom were killed. I stood and watch ed tnem workiug in the rums, aim saw six or eight bodies in 15 minutes. "There is scarcely anything left that would indicate tins heap of rubbish had ever been a building, and if anybody es caped it was by nothing less than a mir acle." Another report from Louisville nays: "Outsida of clearly defined limits, the citizens knew only of heavy rain, accom panied by high wind. Snou cauie on the alarm of fire from the different stations, and the presence of a calamity began to dawn upon the people. Houses, halls of amusement , railroad stations, all went down before the mighty powers of the air. The storm soon passed on, clouds scattered and the moon cast its over a sorely st ricked citv. light Conservative estimates give the loss of life at this place at 100, while reports in dicate a larger number. "At 3 a. m., thirty-five bodies had leen taken from this ruin and fifteen wounded and dying. Only those on the third floor had been reached. The room con taining the dancing school and visitors hail not yet been opened. "Thirty-five, mostly women and chil- dren, have been taken from the ruins of the hall. It is impossible to get names. 'Henry Mason, a member of the lepis- lature from Hancock county, was in Vir- right -s store lighting a cigar when the building fell, killing him. "Already forty-three bodies have been taken froru the ruins of houses." The city asks no aid from outside and a special meeting of the board of trade was called and committees appointed to visit the wrecked district and ascertain the damage done and the relitf needed. There was great destruction at Olncy, 111., but as yet no deaths have been an nounced. Little Prairie, a small settlement five miles south of Nashville, 111., is com pletely demolished.
