Throng-bout th IUtt
Winston, N. C, May 30. Yesterday
marked an eveat that will be memora
in the history of Winston-Salem. In
connection with the ninety-third com
mencement exercises of Salem Female
College, the oldest school for girls in
the south, the first permanent tribute
most beloved ao, u zeboion aCfcaifiYiewUe .association will 1
-3patli Carolina's
nuuo, was lormaixy presented to the
trustees sf that institution with appro
priate and imposing ceremonies.
It was a large and artistic memorial
window which was purchased and
placed in the college chapel by the 1894
graduating class. The window was
presented by Hon. J. C. Buxton, of
Winston, who made a strong and
touching address. His portrayal of the
dead senator's life was grand and beau
tiful. He said that Senator Vance,
when asked to give the secret for his
great hold upon the people of his na
tive state, replied "I have never de
ceived them." Bishop Rondthaler, of
the Moravian church, accepted the win
dow for the trustees in a splendid and
appropriate address.
Mrs. Vance, together with a large
number of friends and admirers of the
deceased senator, witnessed the inter
esting and impressive ceremonies.
MINISTER RANSOM'S HEALTH.
Much anxiety Kelt the Venerable Dip
lomat Return tn Hla Carolina Home.
Washington, June 8. Much concern
Is expressed by the friends of Minister
Ransom, who is on his way home from
Mexico on sick leave. The minister
was taken ill while en route to his new
post of duty, and has not been able at
any time since reaching there to trans
act the business of the legation. He
went, under the advice of officials of
the department here, to the hot springs
of Monterey, but has evidently received
no substantial benefit from the treat
ment of the waters there. Upon the
statement of his physician that with
five or six weeks stay in his native
country would probably result in his
complete restoration to health, the de
partment of state granted him sixty
days leave of absence.
Minister Ransom will fro direct to
Asheville, in the western part of North
Carolina, where it is .hoped the bracing
mountain air and generally salubrious
climate will unite in the realization of
the physician's expectation. Mr. Ran
som was ill and quite feeble last winter
and it was hoped that his trip to Mex
ico would result . in a speedy improve
ment of his condition. , -

Goldsboko, N. C, June 1. C. M.
Leyister, who has been agent of the
Southern railroad company in this city
for the past four years, has come to
grief. He is a defauter for $2,000. His
shortage, which dates back several
months, he managed to cover by aid of
presenting ficticious checks when the
auditor would come around to check up.
Leyister has been quite a society man
here. He was a leader in the St. Paul's

SOME GAINS AT
THE SOUTH.
The Condition of Trade as Reviewed
Bradatreets.
New Yobk, June 1. Bradstreets says:
The observance of memorial day services
served to check the volume of general trade
this week, but there has been a further shrink
age in the amount of business transacted, due
to not altogether well founded fears of serious
damage to the grain crops. The bank clear
ings total for the week is only $833,000,000. but
this is 17 per cent heavier than in the corres
ponding week (also n e day short) in 18J4. As
contrasted with last week, the shrinkage is 25
percent, and with the week two years ago
(during the panic) 7 per cent. Compared with
the last week in May. 1892, the tailing off this
week Is 18 per cent.
The tendency of prices this week is again
upward, notably so for steel and iron, whioh
are in better demand, despite higher prices, as
are cereals and cotton, and leather and shoes,
which, with some other staples, in all sixteen,
close higher on the week.
There are gome gains at the south, with im
proved agricultural prospects In Tennes;-ee
effecting business at Nashville, Memphis and
Chattanooga. Only a moderately aovive de
mand in a few lines is announced from Atlanta,
Savannah and at Jacksonville, where the vege
table crop is the largest for years. There is an

General Hampton's Addreaa.
The scene presented' here today Is one that
could npt be witnessed hy any oouotry hut our
own and for this reason, if no oihar. It posses
ses a significance worthy or tJie Bravest con
sideration. A few years a?a. trove m?n from
the north and from the" south stood facing
each other in hostile array, oud the best blood
of the country was poured out like water on
many a battlefield. Thousands, hundreds of
thousands of our bravest sleep In bloody
graves; men who gave fcieir lives to piove th-j
faith of their convictiocs, an-1 now north anl
south, standing by these graves wherever they
may be, grasp hands across the bloody chssn!,
and proudly claim federal and confederate sol
diers as Americans, men who have given to the
world as noble examples of courage and devo
tion to duty as can be enrolled on the pngo of
history. Nor is this all that marfca this occn.
sion as exceptional and romnrlwMs, aad wlilca
would render it me.Tioi-Ma iu our aonr.la for
all time to come. No monument m the world
has such an honor'ola hl.tory as at aches to
yonder one. That marks the graves of no vkv !
torious soldiers, but of the followers of a 1-jst j
cause; it stands not on southern soli baton
northern; the mon who res udr ltd shadow
come from our far off south taixi; and it owes
Its erection not to th6 omrade of these den tl
soldiers, but mainly to th peneroiltj- ar.d
magnanimity of their former foes; the citizens
of this great city. All honor then to the brave
and liberal men et Chicago who have shown by
their action that they re.giv?d rfee wr is over,
and that they can welcome e fri a", on th s
solemn and auspicisus Cu'easton, their former
enemies. As long as this lofy aolamn points
to heaven, as Ions? as one of ia foHmla-
tion remains, future peuesnsioas of Americans
should look upon it with prWe, no only t o en
honor to those who conceived 1M conntrnmion,
but as a silent, thouah nohlq emblem o a re

stew flowers over tne graves of comeoerate
soldiers. If the humane, generous action of
the people of this city in doing honor to the
memory of tteir old antagonists is denounced
as desecration, it would seem to follow that tha.
decoration of federal graves by "rebel" hands
should be opened to the same criticism, but no
denunciation of southern people for daring to
honor the memory of men who were once their
enemies has met my eyes. Such narrow and
bigotted feelings as would prompt a discordant
note on occasions of this sort are rarely fouuv
among true men and brave soldiers, and I have
often though that it the two great captains
who were engaged in the death grapple In Vir
ginia had been left to settle the terms of peace,
each supported by his faithful followers, the
country would have had a peace indead, one
honorable alike to victors and vanquished and
which would have prevented the evils brousht
about by the politicians. As it is the south
recognizes and honors the mastnomity of Gen
eral Grant towards our great chief General
Le-. and deT'loi-es is r.u unmitigated misfor
tune the assassKSaina-.ion of Lincoln. I repeat
emphatically, thit the untimely death of Pres
ident Lincoln was rt;arled by all thoughtful
men of the south as una of the roost seriou.
Hyils which had b ia.le. t ar mcUou snd I ven
ire to say that my a-iutbern assocuiies here
f "asent will sustain my assertion. We know
tb ;t during the w:ir wo devoted every energy
of mind and body for a rustora: loa of the
union, and that result accomplished, we felt
that his big bra in and his kind heart would
prompt him to deal kindiy and leniently to his
fellow citizens of the south, for his Wbest if
not his sole aim, was to see the union restored,
and it was a cruel fate that deprived him of
what he hoiwd would be the reward of his

of need. (
w llmb'ems of Peace.
It was a wine philosopher who said to a gen
eral commanding an ar; ay, "I do not choose to
argue with the cOmmnuder of tea legioos," and
when questions are submitted to the arbitra
ment of the sword the decision is generally in
favor of the ten legions. The vexed questions
which have disturbed the country since
the foundation of the government are
settled, and reference to them is
made to show only how natural the co irse'of
tho south was. educated as the peonle there
were ia the school of strict state rights. Every
southern man felt thc.t call made upon him by
hts state was an imperaitve command, and
that his tiuty wns to cney without hesitation
and at ;-ll hazards. When the rorth railed on
its citizens to rally to the old gag, they re
Bponried to the summons from a sense of duty,
as did the people of the south to the call made
on them. State allegiance and state pride In
each case was the moving cause which arraved
millions of men in ormsinthis country, and
while the war that brought them out caused
untold misery to the country, it has taught a
lesson to the nations o the earth, that Ameri
ca in arms can d-y the world. It seems to
me, too. that it should inculcate another lesson
to us, and that is, that the time hns come when
the actors in that fearful fratricidal strife and
theso whom they represent shouid judge their
former opponents as they should tnemselves be
Judged. This can be done without the sacrifice
j of prinoiple on either side, as the exiTnole of
our mother country had shown us. York and
Lancaster, Cavalier and Roundhead no longer
wage war at ea:-h other; all are Englishmen,
proud of their country, and the red rose and
the white are emblems of peace and of the
glory of oil England. Can we not a'l be proud
of the prowess of the American soldier?
Another vocal selection followed and
then Major Henry T. Stanton, of Ken
tucky, recited the Memorial ode. lie
was followed by Right Rev. Samuel
Fallows, LL. D-, bishop of the Reform
ed Episcopal church, and late Major
General United States Volunteers, who
eloquently voiced the blessings of
peace.
Then followed the most impressive
portion of the ceremonies, that of mon
umentihg the guns. . The four cannons
used in the ceremony formed part of
a federal battery during the! war. They
I ' ii J i i i r" ,n- "nrfr in ii n m i
the battle of Murfreesboro and
afterwards fought on the confederate
sides ia the battles or Missionary Ridge,
Resaca,Dalton and Ktmesaw Mountain,
Peach-Tree Creek, Atlanta 'and Frank
lin. They were j recaptured by the
federals at the battle of Nashville and
did service for the u nion side during
the remainder of the war.
Uuna Spliced Forever.
I"te monumenting corps and - the
srjiking party formed in line, the gen
tlemen escorting the ladies, and passed
to their rehPective stations through
double lines of union and confederate
veterans, who stood uncovered. The
ceremony at gun No. 1, which was re
peated substantially at each of the
three others was as follows:
Colonel Stewart This gun having
fii red its last shot, will now be spiked
forever, Spike the gun.
Whereupon the spikiog party spiked
the cannon. Colonel France placing the
spike and Comrade Neal driving it
home. Miss Hill then mounted the
pedestal and said:
"This cannon, with its glorious re
cord on the field of battle having been
silenced forever, 1 do consecrate it to
the memory of the valorous soldiers we
now monument as a military decora
tion for their bravery and honor unto
death"
The guns having been monumented
the drums gave a muffled roll and the
entire corps formed in line on the west
front of the monument. Then from
General Underwood came the com
mand: "Decorate the monument." This
was done and the crowd dispersed.

HOW HORROR WAS ADDED TO HORROR.
TheHeavieat Gal of the 6rls After th
Steamer Bad Foundered, and tb
Passenger Were StragaHlnft
ln the Water.
San Frahcisoo, Cal. June 3. Captain
II. L. Read, the well known marine
surveyor of this city, in a dispateh from
Mazatlan, gives some additional par
ticulars of the Colima wreck obtained
from Third Officer Hanson, who escap
ed on the deckhouse and A. J. Souther
Tfcud, who clung to the seats f an over-
turnftfllltStjuaL
The heaviestwiuall of all those
perienced oai after the ateauicr had
foundered anu r -, rrrara fif?
crew were struggling in the water.
The force of the gale at this time was
dreadful. Many were washed from
the wreckage to which they clung.
Some were killed or rendered uncon
scious by being struck by the timbers
which were dashed about with relistless
fury. Rafts and boats were overturn
ed. Had it not been for this squall,
many more undoubtedly would have
been saved.
IVreckuK Driven Over the Hen.
Th(? gale drove rafts and wreckage
befor it with great rapidity. Mr.
Hanson saw a raft pass at 6:S0 p. n., of
the day of the disaster. , On it were 8
men. They had drifted very fast and
were soon lost to view. He also saw a
raft on which were Mr. Chllberg- and
six others. These men had two oara
and seemed to be making for shore.
Mr. Hanson also saw a boat in which
was First Officer Grifiifth and four or
live men. When last seen this boat
was trying to pick up the purser, but
it was not seen again and is supposed
to have been swaped in the havy sea.
Every one of the survivors except
Sutherland is badly bruised by being
struck by the wreckage. He was pro
tected by being under the life boat af
ter it had overtnrned Ave times with
him. ' lie says he saw two ladies alive
and then saw them drown withoutbe
ing able to render them any assistance.
Sutherland and Hanson tay the wind
would catch up planks and lumber
from the deck load, and hurl them in
the. air with furious force and dash
them down upon those in the water.
Where the Captain Went Down.
It is reported that just as the steam
er went down, Captain Taylor was
washed from .the bridge into the sea,
and that there he was struck by a
piece of wreckage and killed or so
stunned that he was unable to make
further effort to save himself. He had
attempted to heave to under the slow
bell but could not get the vessel's head
np to sea. Then he tried going ahedd
at full speed two Or three times, but
thf-mtiW'tatt4nd7Bw fell in
to the trougfMj t-th "" jame of the
w-jy the engine ia
drite. the steamer into the, teeth of the
gale or else they were disabled. Suth
land and Hansen both tell harrowing
stories of the misery they witnessed
while keeping themselves afloat. Ma

them were entirely nude. K
