Congress adjourned; on Saturday
and it was the longest session on
rec6rd. 1
: In 1856 John Dudley, of Minnea
polis, brought a tract of land near
that city for $3,200. A few days ago
he sold it for $200,000.
Two weeks from to-inorrow Cleve
land and Thurman will be elected
President and Vice President of the
United States.
North Carolina is going to fool
some -of this faithless generation.
Judre FowleV majority and Cleve
land's will be larger- than most
Democrats are figuring on.
The Pullman Parlor Car Company
is the money maker of all railway
concerns. It earned 17 per cent on
its stock during the fiscal year just
closed, the same as last year, though
there is 25 per cnt more stock now
than there was then.
There is a row in the domestic
camp of the Blaine family. Mrs. J.
G. B., Jr., is about to sue her father-in-law
for alienating her hus
band's affections. She claims dam
ages in the sum of $100,000.
Joseph Pulitzer has been over in
London arranging for the establish
ment of a sensational Sunday news
paper, similar to the New York
World with pictorial features. His
complete failure is prophesied by
the conservative Britishers.
Four large cremation furnaces
have just been declared open at the
great Parisian crematory of Pere-la-Chaise.
The question is agitated
whether pauper bodies should be
cremated by the Paris municipality,
but there is such a strong feeling
against it among the poor that the
idea will probably have to be aban
doned. It is usually the wealthy
who prefer cremation.
Cleveland will "git thar" and no
mistake. And don't you forget it.
The New Sork Herald has never yet
given utterance to an editorial opin
ion on this point but it says so now,
as witness the following, from its
yesterday's issue: .
We shall have an unusually merry
Thanksgiving this year. The festive
turkev will be in greater demand
than ever, and a grateful nation
will read Mr. Cleveland's proclama
tion with the joyous anticipation of
four years more of honest govern
ment and business prosperity.
, P.S. The insinuation in the above
remark about Mr. Cleveland is based
on facts which are a yard wide and
all wool.
... .
Here is some later gossips in re
gard to'bets. It is from the New
York Star:
Jefferson M. Levy, the well-known
owner of Monticello, last night of
fered to bet $100 to $500 that Cleve
land and Thurman will carry Iowa.
He found no takers.
In the Hoffman House cafe last
night, William Livingston Hamers
ley bet $300 with ex-Collector Thos
Murphy that Cleveland will be
elected President. The money was
placed in the hands of Billy Ed
wards as stockholder. Mr. iui wards
announced that $10,000 has been
placed in his hands to be bet even
that Cleveland will defeat Harrison
He will bet this in a lump sum or
irom $ i,uuu to $iu,uuu.
The decks are getting crowded
nowl It is fair weather, a good
bneeze .and port U just ahead only
a few days' sail. Hence,' everybody
wants to be on deck. Read this. It
is' from yesterday's New York Star:
Batavia, N. Y., Oct. 20. Proba
bly the most unique political meet
ing of the campaign was held atthis
place last night. The peculiarity of
the meeting was that while it was
held under the auspices of the Cleve
land Guards not a single Democrat
was on the stage.
It was presided pver by Henry B.
Fisher, a life-long Republican, with
twenty-live Republicans as vice-
presidents. AU of these men, to
gether with their strong following,
are going to support the Democratic
national ticket, and are boldlv an
nouncing themselves for tariff re
form."
This is one of the greatest revolts
yet reported, and is received as an
alarming omen in the Republican
ranks. It looks like a stampede in
this section of the State.
Who says we won't carry Min
nesofa this year. Read this special
from Minneapolis to the Herald:
The Republican State Central
Committee was given another rude
awakening this morning. The Re
publican League of Dakota courjty,
containing eighty mem uers,a branch
i of the Minnesota League and of the
"VT 1 r r t 'ui:
clubs, held a meeting last night and
renndiated the Renubli can tifikef:
I &ud disbanded th League. ' At the
I NGTON, N. C . MONDA.Y, OCTOBER 22,
same time the chairman of the
County Committee sent in his resig
nation. ' . ' 'X
Speaking of this matter Chairman
Lawrence, '-of the Democratic-State
Committee, said: ''This is merefr&
large bubble that has come to the
surface in the seething sea ot Re
publican revolt. This means a gam
of four hundred votes to the Deihp.
cratic ticket in Dakota county, and
we are gaining in that way in seven
eighths of the counties in the State.
I see they are laughing at us down
East Over our claim, but I feel cer
tain we shall win. The Republi
cans of Minnesota can no more
stand on the National -and State
platforms than a - pig "can fly. The
Fifth Congressional District; now
represented by Knute Nelson, a
tariff reform Republican, is the field
in which our largest gains are being
made. Charles Canning, our can
didate for Congress, writes me that
he is certain of election, and that
Cleveland is running ahead of him.
The Scandinavian vote is for lower
taxes and has simply come over into
the Democratic camp, bag and bag
gage. If St. Paul and Minneapolis
give 3,000 and 2,000 majority, re
spectively, as we expect, Eugene
Wilson will be the next Governor of
Minnesota, and we shall send four
Democrats to Congress, a gain of
one. Clevelandais running well in
all country "districts, and the- elec
toral vote of the State depends on
the size of his majorities in the twin
cities." .
The President has approved the
bill to appoint and retire General
Alfrel Pleasanton with the rank of
Major in the United States Army
He then sent in the .appointment,
and the Senate promptly confirmed
it.
General Pleasanton, who is over
the age fixed by law, and besides is
very much broken in health, will go
at once on the retired list. But the
object of his friends has been at
tained. The salary of the place will
support him in comfort during the
remainder of his life.
A graceful act in connection with
this matter has been the interest
manifested by Col. Hooker, of Mis
sissippi, a one-armed ex-Confeier-ate,
whose command during the war
was frequently directly opposed to
that of General Pleasanton. From
the moment that the necessities of
the old soldier were brought to the
attention of Col. Hooker he was un
tiring in his efforts to have the bill
passed, and the most eloquent and
effective speech made in advocacy
of the measure was his. treneral
Pleasanton resigned from the army
nearly twenty years ago, but, like
many another man educated for
war, found his capacity unequal to
the complex fret and fury of civil af
fairs. He has for years been sup
ported by his brother.

Acme Fibre Mill Destroyed.
News was received, here this af
ternoon, about 3.30 o'clock, to the
effect that the. Fibre Mill of the
Acme Manufacturing Co. 's Works at
Cronly, 17 miles West of the city,
were on fire. Later the news' came
that the Fibre Mill had gone and
that the C. C. R. R. depot was in
great danger. Beyond this no infor
mation could be had. The last news
previous to our going to press was
received after 4 o'clock. It was then
impossible to call up the operator at
Cronly, as he was probably out of
doors fighting the fire to save the
depot. There are no particulars. Tt
is only known that the Fibre Mill
has been completely destroyed. It
is, however, insured, and we are
glad to know that the insurance will
probably cover all of the loss, in
cluding the building, machinery and
stock on hand.
There are three large factory
buildings at Cronly, for the manu
facture of fertilizers, for the manu
facture Of fibre stock and for the
manufacture of goods from the fibre.
It is this last as we understand it
that has been destroyed. The others
are East of this and as the wind was
to-day from the East they have all
probably escaped.
. ' THK LATEST. '
'At half past 4 o'clock it was learn
ed that the fire was still burning.
The Fibre Mill had been destroyed
but .it-was thought L then that the
worst was over, unless the wind
should change or increase in force.
The Carolina Central gravel train,
with a large force of train men and
section hands, was on hand doing
all that could be done in fighting
the flames. The depot and other
property were threatened, but at
the time this dispatch was sent off
it was thought that the danger was
over. ,
The Hardest Yet.
