Secretary Morton will send about 2,000,000 packages of garden seeds to the suffering farmers in Nebraska. A number of Congressmen have turned over their allowance for that purpose. Gen. Cassias M. Clay, of Ken tucky, has hired a governess for his 15-year-old wife. He wants to train her to be ornamental as well as use ful. Heretofore she has been mainly occnpied in running his kitchen. The Texas man who with 'his wife and five children started three and a half months ago to walk to Newark, N. J., has made the trip.

The deepest artesian well in the world is at Smith Center, on the Rock Island Railroad. Af Minneap olis paper, which prides itself on its veracity, says "by patting your ear to the hole, yoa can hear the can nonading in China." " The American people swallow about 4,000,000 pills a week, the French about 2,000,000 and the Russians about 1.000,000. The champion pill gobblers are the Australians, who are never com fortable unless they can hear the pills rattle in them. It has been judicially decided in Maryland that a cat is not property but simply a "wild annimal," and it is therefore no offence against the laws of that State to appropriate the one that meander on a neighbor's premises if one should take a fancy to it, or, hurl a brick at it if he didn't. ' Senator Allison, of Iowa, sets an example in honesty that other dis tinguished Republicans would do well to follow. In speaking of the bad condition of the national finan cds he says:- "Most people will lay it to the Wilson tariff, bat it ante dates that tariff." The trouble be gan when the McKinley tariff was in full force. The late United States Consul at Greytown, Nicaragua, wno is now in New Orleans, says if the Unted States does rfot help to build the Nicaragua Canal there are English men who are ready to put up the monev. This may be a sort of a blufiVbut theW is little doubt that if Englishmen get a chance to b.utia the canal and control it, they will furnish the money, necessary. The Selma, Ala., Times says if every farmer in Dallas county who has more land than he can profitably cultivate would sell fifty or sixty acres to a Western farmer, the county would in a short time double in pop ulation and then things would hum, upon which the Mobile 1 Register re marks that if they did and all these Western farmers went to raising all the cotton they could, as the Ala bama farmers now do, then the Ala bama farmer would have to hump himself even more than he does now.

There were dozens of disap pointed office-seekers in Raleigh yester day, but it will be seen that the Pops, of the Eastern counties played a mighty good hand, getting a good share of the spoils. It was snowing and sleeting between 1ft. Airy and Greensboro yes terday, and all the streams below Fay etteville were very full, and rising.

Potter and Kyrle Bellew In "Charlotte Corday" To-Morrow Night. A glance at the career of Cora Urqu hart Potter will' convince the most casual observer that she is a most re markable woman. She became a pro fessional actress ten years ago, and Is to-day probably without a rival on the American stage. . Possessing, as she does, a wonderful ability to acquire knowledge and an irreaistable will power, she has in ten years accomplished what many an actress has striven for a lifetime ' in vain. Mrs. Potter may easily be classed to-day asamdng the leading actresses of the times, and as sheispossessed of both youtbjand beauty her future must of necessity be a bril liant one. Kyrle Bellew, the idol ot the amusement-loving public throughout the world for many years past, made his first great triumph in London, and was for years almost worshipped in that city. He afterward duplicated his London success in New York, where he received an enormous salary, and was announced by critics as the best actor that England :had ever sent to this country. These two greairtistsae to appear at the Opera House to-morrowuevening, in their greatest play, "Charlotte Cor day," assisted by a carefully selected company of metropolitan actors. One of the features of this rare entertainment will be the display of Mrs. Potter's beautiful gowns and costumes. Some of these are pronounced as the perfec tion of the modiste's art.. The company is under the manage ment of Mr. Myron B. Rice, who last season assisted in directing the tour of Henry Irving. - S. A. L- OFFICIALS Visit Wilmington on Their Tour of la apeotion Met by Leading Citizens and Taken to Various Places of Interest Around Town.

After a trip, to Hilton Park, they boarded the tug Mart'ap, under command of Capt. Edgar Williams, and took a trip up and dowiHthe river, viewing thewater-front, having places of interest explained to them as they were passed. All enjoyed their trip to this city and left, at 8.80 o'clock, well pleased with their visit. Mr. Thos. D. Meares, local agent of the S. A. L., accompanied them as far as Hamlet. A GOOD.SHOWING. Sc.

XTew Bleobon Iiaw Talk About the Senatorship Plenty of Candidates, and Butler the Only : One Whose Election Seems Burei The followingrietter from the Raleigh correspondent of the Washington Star, who is a Republican, is largely specula tive, but it probably gives a better, idea ot the situation than do the wild guesses of some of the Democratic correspon dents: A new election law will replace the present one, . which is known as the Payne law. The election of magistrates will be by the people instead of by the Legislature, though it may be that in seven of the Eastern counties the legis lative election system may continue. In those counties there is a net.ro majority. A bill to thus arrange the election of magistrates was introduced in the Leg islature in 1887 by H. G. Ewart, who was afterward a Congressman, bat who is again in the Legislature. The charters of a number of the cities and towns are to be amended; in some cases greatly. Even yet it is a disputed .question as to whether the Populists or the Repub licans have a larger number of members in the Legislature. Marion Butler, Populist, . State chairman, insists that there are about seven more Populists than Republicans, while H. G. Ewart, Republican, says there are at least three more Republicans than Populists. But ler says that one thing which will make the fusionists (certainly the Populists) in the Legislature harder to control than would otherwise -have been the case, is the fact that they were made very angry in a number of counties by the rejection of bonds of county officers-elect and the throwing out of office of the latter. the senatorship. Two months ago it was said quite openly that there was an agreement that Marion Butler was to be the Populist Senator and Jeter Pritchard the' Repub lican Senator. Now it is hard, indeed, to induce any one to admit that there was any such agreement or understand ing. Butler says he will take no part in the election of a Republican Senator, as it would be impolite and impolitic for him to express any preference in that direction. But some of Butler's close friends have much to say in favor of Pritchard. The Republicans in not a few cases admit a belief that Pritchard is a "sure card." Indeed, it looks so, though a Republican member of the Legislature remarked to-day tnatfritcn- ard was losing ground. The latter is extremely discreet, and is trying to make no enemies. He is an ardent sup porter of Butler for Senator on the part of the Populists. H. G. Ewart thinks be has as much strength as anybody in the race; that is, J. J. Mott, Pritchard, Oliver H. Dock- ery, btate unairman a. &. noiion, jas. E. Boyd. etc. with the Democrats Ewart is unquestionably the most popu lar Republican in this State. There is good reason for belief that in case there is an opening with a good i prospect, ot success be could get the solid Demo cratic vote. It is alleged by some of the Populists that certain Democratic members of the Legislature have already approached certain members of the Republican party with a proposition for a combination, Marion Butler has himself heard this statement. While it was thought at first that Jeter Pritchard was so sure of a sena torship, and while so many yet admit it, yet there are not a few who say that as among the Republicans it is anybody's race. It is certain that ui. Mott ana Ewart are avowed aspirants for it, and that both have already arranged to es tablish headquarters here, so as to do active work. Chairman Holton is another avowed candidate. He and Pritchard and Mott andO. H. Dockeryand Ewart have let every Republican and Populist member of the Legislature know that they are aspirants. Dr. Mott says it is anybody's race. Dr. Mott is a veteran, was for years State chairman, and has a great deal of influence, besides being one of the very ablest North Carolina Republicans. So what he says has value. Fusion is to be continued in 1896. He says so, and so do Chairmen Holton and Butler. ANTI-FUSION REPUBLICANS. The two Republicans who are fight ing fusion are Henry C. Cowles, mem ber of the National uommittee, ana Robert M. Douglas. It is said their de sire is to see the Legislature elect two Republican Senators, or it this cannot be done to have it elect Butler for the short term and not the long term. Now, Butler Is positively slated for the long term. Dr. Mott says tbat Kepuoucans who do not favor fusion should leave the Republican party by the back-door. Chairman tioiton maignanuy aenies the statement made in some of the papers that there is a plot to elect two Republican Senators. He says the ar rangement for one of each of the parties will be strictly carried out. So- says Dr. Mott. The latter, like rioiton ana Pritchard, supports Butler for the Popu list Senatorship. THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES. A Republican, who alleges that he is on the inside and knows well how the ReDublicans in the Legislature stand on the question of preferences for a Sena tor from their party, says that when the caucus, assembles the first ballot will be: Pritchard, 12; Mott, 12; Ewart, 6; Hol ton, 6; Boyd, 5; Dockery, 8; Carver, 2; doubtful, 5. A letter from a friend of Pritchard says every county in the Ninth district save Henderson favors him for Senator. Death of Mrs. Oakley. Mrs. Julia E. Oakley, relict of the late Daniel Oakley, aged 74 years, died suddenly yesterday in this city at the residence of herself and sister, Mrs. Van Bokkelen, on South Second street, near Orange. Her death resulted from an attack of apoplexy in the morning. Mrs. Oakley was formerly quite wealthy; for many years she was a mem ber and officer of the Ladies' Memorial Association of this city, and was ever active in works of benevolence and charity.

STATE LEGISLATURE- BOTH BRANCHES DULY ORGANIZED. Walser Sleeted Speaker of the House Other Officers Chosen Talk of Badloal legislation To Chan Re County Got em ment Bedistriot Towns Alter the Eleo tlon Iiawt, etc. Special Star Telegram. Raleigh. N. C, Jan. 9. The Senate was called to order this morning bv Lieut. Gov. Doughton, who swore the Senators in groups. A quorum being present, the organization was completed by the election of the following officers: Hill E. King, of Onslow. (Populist) Principal Clerk, by a vote of 42, to 5 for Btirkhead (Democrat), of Columbus; Spencer Blackburn (Republican), 4 of Ashe, Reading Clerk; T. N. Hallibur ton, of Burke, Doorkeeper; A. D. K. Wallace, of Rutherford, Engrossing Clerk. . The officers being sworn m, the Pre sident declared the Senate ready fcr bus iness. After the appointment of a committee to notify the Governor of its organiza tion, the Senate adjourned. j . HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. " The former Clerk, J. M. Brown, called the Houss to order at noon, and after prayer by Rev. J. F. Tuttle, Judge Wal ter Clark administered the oath to mem bers. There was an immense crowd in the galleries and the lobby, j On roll call 121 accredited members answered to their names, and a quorum being present, the House proceeded to organization by electing a Speaker. Mr. Lusk nominated Zeb Vance Wal ser, of Davidson, and Mr. Peebles, of Northampton, nominated J. Frank Ray, ot Macon. The vote resulted; Walser 72, Ray 43 and Lusk 1 (Walser.) The Clerk declared Mr. Walser elect ed, and Messrs. Lusk, Ray and Heilman escorted him to the chair. He briefly thanked the House for the honor, im ploring their assistance and indicating that grave and important matters of le gislation would come before them. He was greeted with applause. The further organization was com pleted by the election of D. P. Satter field, of Person, Chief Clerk; E. R. Houser, Jr., of Lenoir,Engrossing Clerk; A. J. Moye, of Pitt, Doorkeeper; and Jno. W. Chapin, cf Beaufort, Reading Clerk. The appointment of a committee to wait on the Governor and the . adoption of the rules of the last House closed the day's proceedings. It is said the Rep.-Pops in the Senate will change the universal custom and elect the committees. There is a strong sentiment now to change the county government. Also, to abolish or cripple the Bureau of Labor Statistics, to redis trict the towns and may-be elect mayors by popular vote; to alter t he election law so as to get all tde offices in sight; to cripple the railroad commission, cut down the University appropriation and make other radical changes. But there is an under-current of cocssrvative sen timent, however, that if all this is done there will be a reaction among the people that will work harm to the Rep Pop combination. By Southern Associated Press. Raleigh. January 9. The Legisla ture assembled to-day at noon with the Fusionists compact and organized in each House. The nominations agreed upon last night at the joint caucuses were made and those named were elected by a strict Fusion party vote. Yet the Democrats, obediently to the decision of their caucus held last night, made nomi nations to meet the Fusionists from top to bottom. The great fight was over the Speaker ship that is, it was last night in caucus and tbe nomination then ot Zeb. Vance Walser instead of V. S. Lusk was a sen sational surprise to all, as the joint cau cus was effected by Lusk and his friends. It was. seemingly tbe idea that with the joint caucus and Lusk' for Speaker, the short term Senatorship would go to Mott, whereas a separate caucus meant a triumph for Walser, with Holton and Settle behind him and possibly the election of Holton for Senator. But the strong candidate for the short term was Pritchard, and now that Walser has been elected Sneaker despite the loint caucus, it is thought that Marion- Butler has side-tracked Mott with his friend j Lusk. Also; Holton and the other aspirants are supposed to be weakened. But the coup by Butler has not been without its evil ie- suits, for Settle. Holton and Mott are in high dudgeon against him, and Settle and Holton look upon Walser's election as a sell out by him to Butler, who is considered certain now for the: long term Senatorship. Meanwhile, people are inquiring what was tbe consider tion for which Butler consented to take Walser instead of Lusk. Some say that Walser's strength meant in Butler's eves danger to Pritchard, the candidate of the original combination, and prob ably danger to himself. Moreover, it was stated that the giving of the Speakership to Walser I was but an empty honor, as substitute committees were appointed last night to select the members of the twenty-two standing committees leaving to WaTser only the announcement of them, j The members of the committees will be di vided halt and half among Populists and Republicans. The rest of the officers of the House and Senate went through by the machine vote, and were divided among the two parties to fusion as fol lows The chiet clerk ot the House to go to'the Republicans; tbe next office to the Populists, alternating all the! way down. . The same agreement was made lor the Senate, only the chief clerk was started there with a Y opulist. Lusk made a speech in nominating Walser to-day in which he said that the Fusion maiority would be greater in 1896 than in the last election; that nothmsr could separate the two parties to fusion; that the Democrats would well possess their souls in peace and say amen to their prayers; that, as the late Senator Vance said, a Populist could not be distinguished from a Republican on a cloudy day, and they were the same in State matters. Jim Boyd, of Greensboro, has arrived and is working up a boom for the Sena torship. He and Mott and Holton ana Settle are now asainst Pritchard and would not hesitate to down Butler if such a thine seemed possible, me atmos phere has changed to-day and clouds are visible in the Pritchard sky which were not thought ot yesterday, before what is thought to have been the perfidity of Bntler and Walser haovtranspired. j Forty-nine Parts of the Amer ican Encyclopaedic Dictionary may now be ordered.

The j First of the Season One of the Handsomest Trains in Ameriot, and Splendidly Equipped. The News and Courier of yesterday gives the following account of the arri val of the ; first vestibule train of the season at Ashley Junction: Quite a large party of railroad men, passengers and reporters went up to the Junction yesterday to meet the first vestibule train of the season from New York to Florida, j A fitful, drizzling rain was falling, and everybody was still shivering over Farmer Jesunofsky's an nouncement that the mercury was scheduled for another trip to the other end of the tube. The accommodation train from Charleston was composed of a baggage car, a passenger coach and the Plant system ; engine No. 8, which was scheduled to take the "special" into Savannah yesterday afternoon. A rapid and pleasant run was made up to the junction, where everybody waited for the Florida special to put in its appearance. It did so promptly on time, carrying thirty passengers, six of whom were transferred to'the accommo dation train and brought into Charles ton. The "special" has long been known as one of the very handsomest trains in America, and its appearance yesterday even in the rain storm fully justified this estimate. It was in charge ot Capt. Pagb and Engineer Neeley, and was pulled from Florida to Charleston by the Northeasters engine No. 18. The special was made up of baggage car No. 1, the dining car Belvidere, the sleepers Pellen, Charmion and Umoda and the observation car Chevalier. It was of course vestibuled throughout, and equipped in the most elegant and perfect manner. Capt. Pugh said that it had been promptly on time on the entire southward trip. It lost tour minute s on the change at the J unction, but made it up in a few miles on the Charleston and Sa vannah road. Among the passengers aboard of her was Mr. Borden, the Coast Line System's Master of Transporta tion. Mr. Borden said that during the trip between Richmond and Florence the special was pulled by one "'of the splendid new engines which have been bought especially with a view to giving a fast schedule to the tourist travel. Everybody was delighted with the new enginejand expressed the belief that it could have covered seventy-five miles an hour without the slightest difficulty. As this is the train which will handle the bulk of the Northern tourist travel this season, no expense has been spared in its equipment. The Pennsylvania road, the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac, the Coast Line and the Plant system are interested in it, and each of these lines will make it a matter cf pride to see tbat the "special" makes a good re cord while in its charge. Just be fore the special" pulled into the Junction yes terday the Charleston and Savannah Company s famous engine, No. 12, pass ed, by on its way to tbe city from bavan nab. f his is the. engine which was ex hibited at the World's Fair, which made such a remarkable record with the fa mous Pcthian Flyer, and which will pull the Florida specials over the Charleston and Savannah this Winti r. The schedule which has been mapped out for tbe special is the fastest regular schedule which has ever been made in this service, but the fact that on its first trip the special met the schedule at every point shows tbat the management knows what it is about and that there are going to be no delays this season A Welcome to Mrs. Cunnmgsim.
