The Senate yesterday was principally j
oc-upied in a discussion of the Blair1
Educational bill. Mr. Barbour making a
speech in favor of it. and Mr. Plumb in
opposition to it; the House further con
sidered the contested election case from
Arkansas, and after several speeches
had been made a vote was taken, re
sulting in the seating of Mr. Feather
stone, the contestant, by a vote of 147 to
l:js. Master Abraham Lincoln, son
of the United States Minister to Eng
land, died vesterday morning; he passed
away quietly. Judge Wallace, of
the United States Circuit Court, in
N"ev York, has refused to grant the in
junction prayed for to restrain the
American Seed Oil Trust from dissolv
ing until the termination of the twenty
one vears. for which time it was or?an
izeti. The Secretary of the Treas
ury gives notice that he is now prepared
to resume the purchase of four per cent,
bonds, and ail otters at 1 .03 flat or less,
will be accepted. In executive ses
sion of the Senate yesterday there was
a long discussion as to the power of the
Senate to punish for contempt the news
paper men who refused to give thefr
sources of information of proceedings in
executive session; Iiefore the session was
over nearly all of the Senators had left,
and at the adjournment not more than
twenty were present. A naval court
martial has been ordered to convene at
Mare Island for the trial of Commander
J. B. Coghlan. on charges of conduct
prejudicial to good order and naval dis
cipline. Dispatches from the Vallcv
t V.rginia report the heaviest snow
storm of the year. The Iowa Le-

Wis.- .i.-:n railroad, ran away and killed
l M engineer and tireman. The Na
tional reputlica:i League Convention
.ieniLied in Nashville yesterday, and
among the speakers welcoming the
membrrs was Gov. Taylor, who ex
pressed the hope that they would help
;n reducing the tariff, in order that Ten
nessee might develop her vast resources.
The Liverpool dock strike has end-
c.i. the masters conceding the tlemands
i tne workmen. A Democratic
tr cm !-r o: the Ohio Legislature has re
signed. . id ;t is feared that his action
will greatly embarrass the Democratic
m .jor.tv in party legislation and pas-i'-ot
the Congressional redistricting
ijili Mr. Taul bee's condition is
in.i.h worse, and there is hardly any
hope of his recovery. The stockholder-,
of tl.e Plant Railway system
held a meeting yesterday in Savannah
atu; elected othcers. High waters

Some of the Senators talk of com
mitting newspaper correspondents
for contempt pf the Senate. If some
of these Senators don't improve they
will discover that a very iarge num
ler of the American people are guilty
of the same offence.
F.Iect ricity is recognized as a tip
top purifying agent. It is said that
a current passed through water
will destroy all the impurities in it.
A current about as big as the Missis
sippi river should at once be run
jhrough the Republican party.
The Raleigh Ye-u s d- Observer ap
pears in a ne dress, and is general
1 attractive in the make up. It has
entered upon its twentieth year and
deserves well of the people of
North Carolina for the ability and
zeal with which it has championed
the cause of Democracy and good
government.
The St. Louis Globe-Democrat says
that Senator Blair is a man "who
means well, but the trouble with him
is that he winds his mouth up, sets
it in motion, and then goes off and
leaves it running." As the other
Senators don't know how to stop it,
all they can do is to run, too. This
mouth is run by crank power.
The Democratic Governor of Iowa
says in his inaugural address that
the people of Iowa demand "cheap
clothing, cheap food, cheap imple
ments of labor, in brief cheap neces
saries of life." About the only cheap
thing the farmers in some sections of
the West have is cheap fuel, corn
which is too cheap to sell, and cheap
er than coal, which they would have
to buv.
VOL. XLV.-NO. 149.
I .ssistant Secretary Bussey has de-
cideded two pension cases lately,

duties of a soldier really are. The j
firsf was one in which a soldier went j
out gunning tor a hog when rations
were scarce. His pistol was acci-
dentally discharged and he died from
tne enects ol nis wound. Mr. Bus-

tied to a pension on his account,
Shooting hogs is part of a soldier's
duty. The next js where a soldier
Dought a pie, ate it and died 1 here
was no post mortem examination,
but the presumption was that he died
from eating the pie, and Mr. Bussey
decides that he died in the line of
duty and that his mother, who makes
application, is entitled to a pension.
From this it appears that eating pie
is part of the duty of a soldier. It
will be interesting to note the mor
tality after these decisions resulting
from hog-gunning and pie-eating.
It seems that there is a prohibition
crusade in progress in some of the
Missouri towns, and not satisfied
with prohibiting the sale of the
ardent its advocates have organized
themselves into squads to hunt
around the towns and find out who
keeps liquor in their houses. The
other day they struck the premises
of a woman in the town of Lathrop
who entertained the belief that her
house was her castle. She met t hem
in her door and candidlv informed
them that she had liquor in her house,
and that she proposed to keep it, that
if ther wanted further evidence they
couid rush in and see, but that she
also kept a double barrel shot gun
the contents of which she would at
once proceed to inject in the anatomy
of the first one who crossed the
threshold. Thev took her word for
it and retired without prolonged
ceremony.
A harrowing piece of information
comes from London. Freddy Geb
hard is said to be jealous of the
Prince of Wales who has been pay
ing Mrs. I.angtry too much atten
tion, is going to quit playing poodle
and is coming back to this country.
That the Prince should have stepped
in and taken the curl out of the
poodle's tail is too sad.
We regret to see the announce-
mem of the death, February Wcl, of
Mr. Robert Ward, editor of the
Southern Voice, published at Bethel,
Pitt county, of pneumonia following
an attack of influenza. In conse-
quence -of his death, the publication
of the Voice, of which he was the
principal proprietor, will be tempo-
rarily suspended.
There is a bill before Congress en
titled a bill for the "propagation of

tics performed by the majority in
Congress these days there is no oc
casion for a bill for the propagation
of asses.

yesterday in Northern Virginia; but far

THE TRUCKERS.
Farmers in South Carolina and Georgia
Great Sufferers.
Truck farmers in the Charleston and
Savannah sections were badly hit by the
cold snap last Sunday and Monday.
Their crops were farther advanced than
the crops of truckers in this section, and
the freeze was harder, the mercury fall-
ing to 26 at Savannah. The Savannah
AK'.r says: "The losses will be more se-
verely felt by the many small truckers
scattered throughout this section of the
State. They had in a majority of in
stances planted fully up to their credit,
and all is lost, and they will, in only a
few instances, attempt another general
planting. This will tend to curtail
largely the output of early vegetables in
fc.astern ueorgia, and as a result tne
prices which will be received in April by
the more extensive and independent
truck farmers for peas and cabbage will
even up tne losses, reas which were
bringing $2 to $2 50 per crate last week
will bring double that amount four weeks
hence, and the proportion will be the
same for cabbage."

Capt. George Lord, who died at his resi

about 1 o'clock, from an attack of jaun

INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING CO.
Fires Lighted Yesterday "Work to Begin
in a Few Days.
Fires were lighted for the first time in
the furnaces at the works of the Indus
trial Manufacturing Company early yes
terday morning and m a short time
thereafter steam was up and the engine
was running. The test of engine and
boiler was understood to be satisfactory.
All the machinery is in place, a nd is
soon as the belts and shafting are in po
sition will be ready for work. It is ex
pected that everything will be in running
order by the middle of next week, and
the busy hum of industry will again be
heard within the walls of a building
which has been silent as the grave for
many years.
Contracts for supplies of sweet
gum, sycamore and other woods
that will be used in the man
ufacture of veneers have been made,
and the labor or at least the greater
part of it has been engaged. Only
white labor vill be employed, prin
cipally women and children, and it
is hoped that the works will be en
abled to give employment to a great
number.
The first floor of the building is pretty
well covered with a number of machines
for cutting out veneers, and forming
grocer's plates and dishes and baskets
and packing boxes for fruits, vegetables,
etc., while the upper floors will be used
for storage purposes.
