The Seaboard people definitely stated
that they would bid for the lease and
asked that the matter be deferred for
further consideration. The North Car
olina road is now one of the most im
portant links in the Southern system.
If the Southern railway Company
fails to get the state road, it cau be
made a through connection over other
roads it owns by building about forty
miles more on existing tracks. Consid
erable competition may develop for the
control of the State road. It is sup
posed that the Coast Line may want to
bid also.

the editor appeared Saturday by J. S.
Adams. Lock Craig, J. D. Murphy and
Judge Charles Moore, prominent mem
bers of the Ashville bar who had vol
unteered their services to defend the
editor. The answer of the Citizen to
the charge of contempt was that the
editorial complained of did not repre
sent the proceeding's of the court ur.-"
fairly. The criticism was made in pur
suance of the rights of the press unde
the constitution of the United States
and North Carolina as well. The editor
further denied that he intended any
contempt of court, etc. The court.how
ever imposed a flue of S250, and a sen
tence of imprisonment for o0 days.

Baltimore, Md., July 29. Senator
Gorman will control the action of the
democratic state convention which will
meet here next, Wednesday to name
candidate for governor, comptroller

a very decided opposition to the Sena

cess was finally clinched Saturday.
lrimaries were held in several coun
ties and the Senator's friends controlled
-.most of them. In the Senator's home
county, Howard, a concerted effort was
made for the first time in twenty years, ,
to defeat the Gorman followers, bat the
antis were snowed under.
Now it is known that Senator Gor
man wnrnave a majority inTW Jra

fronted. Will he consider it good policy :
to nominate a "Gorman man" and
thereby array the Anti-Gormanite
against the nominee or will he consent
to the nomination of a Cleveland demo
crat and avoid a factional fight which
might land Maryland in the republican
column
The republicans will hold their state
convention Augustl2th. The indations
point to the nomination of Co igrss
man Lloyd Lownes of Cumberland, to
make the race against the democratic
nominee for gubernatorial honors. ,t.

son has issued the following proclama
tion in regard to the Corbett-Fitzsim-mons
fight:
"Whereas fighting, wheter with or
without gloves, is expressly prohibited
by the law of this state, and any person
who acts as second, stakeholder, coun
sellor or aadvisor, or who shall render
aid of any kind to such fight is a prin

"Whereas it is the duty of police of
ficers to prevent infractions of said law
as well as to cause offenders to be ap
prehended and punished, for which
ample provision is made; and,
"Whereas it is believed said law has
been and is being srequently violated,
and further violations thereof are con
templated and are now being openly
provided for; and,
"Whereas such flagrant defiance will
bring disrepute upon and foster a spirit
of disobedience of all law ; and,
"Whereas the effect of such encoun
ter, besides showing contemptuous dis
regard for our law, will tend to make
Texas the seat of offenses prohibited
by most, if not all the states of the
union: and,
"Whereas anv supposed temporary
pecuniary benefit resulting therefrom
will be dearly acquired at the expense
of the will of the people; and,
"Whereas, Texas with her hospitable
and intelligent population and limit
less resources needs not the incentive
of violation of law to induce immigra
tion or investment; and,
"Whereas, The constitution of the
state enjoins that the executive shall
cause them to be faithfully executed:
"Now, therefore, I, C. A. Culberson,
governor of the state of Texas, by vir
tue of the authority vested in me by
the constitution and laws thereof, do
hereby urge the various officers charged
with such duties, both to prevent the
commission of such offenses and cause
offenders to be punished; and all per
sons contemplating future infraction of
said laws are warned to desist there
from and are put upon notice that to
the limit of executive authority, I shall
take care that the law is faithfully exe

and Many f erlah.
KoKK, Japan, July 29. A frightful
accident in which 140 soldiers perished
has occurred on the railroad running
from this place to Osaka. A train of
23 cars was conveying to this city 400
Japanese soldiers who were returning
from China, where they had taken part
in the military operations. A heavy
storm was raging and as the train was
running along the sea wall, on which
the tracks as they approach the city
are laid, an immense sea leaped over
the wall separating the train and de
railing the engine and 11 cars, which
plunged off the wall into the bay.
Most of the men in them were drowned
like rats in a trap. The accident oc
curred about 1 o'clock in the morning
and the.nirht was pitch dark. The sea
was running so high that was impossi
ble to render any" assistance to
the men in the cars that had
gone overboard even had means been
at band to do so. Some of the men
who managed to get out of the cars
while they were in the accident were
dashed to death agnint the wall.
