In the Senate yesterday Mr. Ingalls

railroad land forfeiture bill, "occupying
about two hours; Mr. . Sanders - favored
the adoption of the conference report,
but without concluding his argument
yielded to a motion to proceed to exec
utive business; in the Hojse the tariff
bill, as amended by the Senate, was pre
sented; an effort was made to secure a

The ways and means committee of the
House held a session yesterday to con

measure the Democrats will resort to
all parliamentary means to obstruct the

Wilmington Street Hallway.
The Winston correspondent of the
Raleigh Chronicle is what "boom" news
papers would call an enterprising re
porter. Thus he writes:
'ilt is reported and comes to me on
good authority that the Sprague Electric
Light and Motor twer company, oi
New York, which built the street
railwav here, has purchased the Wil
mington Street Railway, and will at
once begin the construction in that city
of an elegant electric car line, sucn as we
have in Winston. We all up here, who
know a good thing when we see it, con
gratulate Wilmington on the new step
that is to be taken.
Oh ! no, Sonny. The Sprague people
haven't done anything of the kind.
They have simply made an offer for the
Wilmington Street Railway, but it is not
an offer that will be accepted. As the
Chronicle says of the Winston people,
the owners of the property in question
"know a good thing when they see it;'
and not only that, they "know a good
thing when they have it.

Trfe contractor on the Bennettsville
extension of the Carolina, Sumter and
Northern Railroad has a very large force

right of way through thp counties, and
no delay has been experienced in the
work of construction.

WILSON EXCITED.
A Woman Found Dead on the Railroad
Supposed to Have Been Murdered.
It was reported yesterday that a young
white woman, neatly dressed, was killed
on the W. & W. railroad near Wilson
by the north-bound fast mail train which
left Wilmington Wednesday night. It
was said that the woman was asleep on
the track. Later information is to the
effect that the woman's name is Driver,
that she was in company with
a white man named Jonathan
Rountree, and they were eloping from
Black Creek, where Rountree's wife and
family live. The couple left Black
Creek Monday evening together, walk
ing, passing through Wilson early in the
night en route for Toisnot to take the
train, and, becoming tired, they lay
down to rest and fell asleep. The train
struck the woman, Rountree said, and
broke her'neck, he escaping without a
scratch,
The people do not believe the story
and there was much excitement. The
body of the woman, which had been
buried by Rountree, was to have been
exhumed yesterday and an inquest held.

RIVER AND MARIN L.
Messr3. Funch, Edye & Co., in their
freight report, September 5th say: "Our
advices from all the cotton ports state
that there has been- very little demand
ofi late for freight room, a fact attrib
uted to the disinclination on the part of
Europe to make purchases, in conse
quence of the declining and unsettled
condition of the cotton markets. Since
the collapse in Liverpool the sales of
cotton. have already increased at that
place; spinners here, as well as abroad,
are said to have only light stocks on
hand, and it is therefore expected that
our market, under an increased demand,
will shortly settle down to a firm basis
at prices which will bring us lots of
orders, and a good inquiry for steam
tonnage to load at the Southern ports.
As to the crop itself, the prospects
are as bright as they ever were, whilst
the movement of cotton continues to be
exceptionally free. We are offered
from the Atlantic coast 5-16d and 5 per
cent, to the U. K. . or Continent with
$1.20 for stevedoring and compressing,
October and November loading. Own
ers show no inclination to charter at this
rate, whilst transactions reported below
demonstrate their readiness to accept
from the Gulf ports 21-64d. and 6 per"
cent., with steyedoring and compressing
fixed at $1 per bale."
The British steamship Ethelburga
is. reported as having sailed from Bue
nos Byres, August 30th for Wilmington.
Also, the British steamships Leonfieid,
from Hull, Eng.. September 3rd.; Brit
ish steamship Thurston, from Ibrail
August 16th (was at Malta August 29th),
and the Spanish steamship Julio from
Hull, Eng., September 3d.
Yacht Mignon.

Laurence, returned yesterday afternoon
from a visit to the stranded steam yacht
Mignon, off Cape Fear, having' on board
Capt. R. H. Beery, Surveyor for the
Record. They report the yacht in a bad
condition, full of water and sand, and
recommend that she be sold where she
lies, for the benefit of all concerned.
They took off the furniture and a cou
ple of boats and placed them on the
beach. The Mignon was bought by the
Oemler Oyster Company of Savannah,
GW, and was on her way out to that
port. She was valued at $6,000, and in
sured for $4,000 in the North American
Insurance Company of Philadelphia.
One of the owners, Mr. Aug. Oemler. of
