are many months of hard work yet be

Raleigh, N. C, June 7.
The news comes that strenuous efforts
are being made by Judge Russell and
his friends to enlist the sympathy of
the Populists. Russell realizes that he
will be unable to cut much ice in the
coming campaign with a divided party
back of him, and it is said that he is
willing to swallow all the platforms
framed since the declaration of inde
pendence in order to secure Populist
support. Now, it is stated that thete is
a very strong sentiment among Republi
cans to take down their electoral ticket
and yield to the Populists. This idea
has been earnestly advocated by Logue
Harris for sometime. It has obtained
to a certain degree with numbers of
Populists. In fact, it is said that
the Republicans are ready to
make any reasonable concession in
order to secure Populist support. The
Republicans wilt hardly consent to yield
the Governorship to the Populists. It
is well known that Judge Russell has
counted upon fusion all the while and
his leaders here have stated that the Re
publican candidate could not win in a
three-cornered fight.
Whether the Republicans are willing
to hold back their electoral ticket re
mains with Senator Pritchard to say.

Horses Injured.
The Fifth Ward Hook and Ladder
Company have lost their horse, "Bob.'
It died Sunday from lock-jaw caused
by a'nail in one of its ieet. Two other
horses belonging to the Fire Depart
ment are lame from the same cause, but
likely to recover. Besides these a num
ber of horses at livery and private
stables have been lamed by nails in their
feet. It is said that in the rubbish with
which some of the streets have been re
paired recently there was a quantity of
iron scraps and other debris from
blacksmith shops and that this is prob
ably the cause of the trouble:
In the Dark.
The electric lights in buildings on
North Front and Princess streets went
out last night about half-past ten
o'clock. The Postal telegraph office
and the Telephone Exchange were in
utter darkness for soms time until oil
lamps could be procured and lighted.
The clerical fores in the Bank of Wil
mington after waiting vainly for "more
ight," shut up shop and went home. At
the electric light works the cause of the
trouble could not be explained; a work
man was sent out to search for the caus j
of the break.

BOIES THE FAVORITE.
He I Far in the
Lead Democrat! Want
Has Helped Win the
a Man Who
Fight.
The New York Times (24-carat gold
organ) has printed answers from its cor
respondents in all States where silver
delegates have been elected, to the fol
lowing question:
' If the silver Democrats control the
Chicago Convention, what candidates
for the Democratic nomination for Presi
dent and Vice President would be fa
vored by the silver Democrats and dele
gates of your State ? "
In commenting upon its replies, the
Times will say: "The replies from the
correspondents of the Times show but
little of a spirit of compromise among
the silver men of the west and south.
They apparently care more for Populist
sjpport than for the support of eastern
gold Democrats. The general sentiment
among them is favorable to ssme man
who has shown by his past record that
he is for free silver. Therefore, Camp
bell, Stevenson, Matthews and Morrison
have very little, following, and sentiment
is centering upon the extremists.
' Governor Boies of Iowa seems to be
the favorite silver candidate. In the
States where opinion has been formed he
apparently leads all the rest in strength.
I a Iowa, Illinois, Alabama, lexas. ueor-
gia, Arkansas, uregon, tne uaxotas,
Utah. Idaho and even Missouri, be
seems to be the strongest candidate so
far as the delegates are concerned. In
States where candidates have not been
considered sufficiently to admit of an
estimate of strength he is mentioned
among the leaders.
STEVENSON AND RUSSELL.
They Were Both Greecbaokera in 1879
Voted Together for Bpeaker.
All the talk about Vice President
Stevenson being acceptable to the silver
men is to be taken with a large grain of
allowance, says the Washington Post,-
Among a very considerable number of
influential Democrats who beifeve in the
white metal. Senator Teller would be
preferred to Stevenson. It has not
been forgotten that the Illinoisan was an
ardent greenback man eighteen years
ago. He was one of the thirteen mem
bers of the House who. in December,
1879, voted for Henry B. Wright, the
greenback candidate for Speaker. In
that number also, it is incidentally
pointed out, was Russell, the Republi
can candidate tor Governor of North
Carolina.
This is going to be an outright cam
paign tor tree silver, said a Democrat
on the Senate side yesterday, "and no
candidate who has not in the past shown
unrciitakaoie evidence cf being a silver
man, will receive the nomination. For
that reason I do not think that either
Stevenson or Morrison will be con
sidered.
IMPORTANT IF TRUE.
POESibly Cleveland Ia Preparing fcr a Ten-
Btnka.
The Washington Star is responsible
for the statement that Secretary Olney
has written a letter calling the attention
of the Spanish Government to the un
satisfactory condition of affairs in Cuba,
and suggesting that it cannot be expect
ed, in view cf the interest and public
sentiment here, tnat this country will
refrain from interference if the war is
not brought to a speedy close.
The letter is friendly and diplomatic
in tone, refraining from any expression
of sympathy with the revolution, but
calls attention to the evident sentiment
of the people of this country, and is
firm in the intimation that a speedy ter
mination must be put to the struggle.

INTERESTING FROM CUBA.
Maoeo Has 20,000 Men He Has Four
Companies of Women Soldiers Lee
Visits the Condemned Amerieana
Dawley Beleased.
Key West, Tuue 7. It has been
learned here on undisputable authority
that Maceo has an army of 20,000 men
and they are strongly fortified in .the
mountains of Pinar del Rio. the Span
iards having ultimately failed to drive
them from their strongholds. Maceo
has eight cannon, two of which were
captured from the "trocha" on his recent
attack, when it was reported that he was
repulsed.
The report that Maceo has four com
panies of women soldiers has been con
firmed. The Cuban women have such a
dread of Spanish brutality that many of
them prefer fighting on the battlefields
beside their husbands and brothers to
being thrown in the forts at the Span
iards mercy.
In Maceo's recent attack on the trccha,
these amazons took part and fought
fiercely, using machetes on the Span
iards. The attack was made north of
San Marcos and t General Bermudez
crossed into Habana province with 1,500
men.
Havana, June 7. Consul General
Fitzhugb Lee to-day visited the men
who were captured on the filibustering
American schooner Competitor, and
who are now confined in the Cabana
fortress under sentence of death. Gen.
Lee found the prisoners lodged in un
healthy quarters and will request Cap
tain Genet al Weyler to order that
they be given better accommodations.
The Consul General also saw Julio
Sanguilly, an American citizen, who is
under sentence of life imprisonment for
conspiracy against the peace of Spain
and whose case on appeal is now before
the Court of Cassation in Madrid.
It is said that Gen. Lee, as a special
favor, requested Captain General Wev
ler to release Mr. Dawley, the corres
pondent of Harper s Weekly, who was
arrested a few days ago. The request
was granted and it is expected that

Castle to-morrow.
Camped on Mill Mo-uiiiain in 89.
He was a tall, discontented, bilious
looking man. Self-depreciation and
poverty were stamped upon every fea
ture. Even his overworked and under
brushed clothes seemed to regret that
they had ever entered his service, and
were doing their best to place him at a
disadvantage. "I am an, ast!" he said.
"A perfect ass! I never see a thing
until it is out of reach. My backsight is
good, but my foresight is foggy. In the
last ten vears I have seen .acquaintance
after acquaintance rise to fortune, be
cause they could see bright outlines,
where to my eye all was chaos.
Do you Snow, sir, that I camped on
Mill Mountain range all one Fall? Have
tracked over it a hundred times explor?
ing, but of course I never found ore. I
am disowned by my family and cut by
my acquaintances. I am the very triple
extract of woe and stupidity personified.
I know I am short sighted I think I
have astigmatism and what I called
upon you for, Dr. Matthez, is to get a
pair of glasses with which I can scan
the horizon of the future and, if possi
ble, retrieve my lost fortunes by catch
ing on to the next boom at the right
time. Had I seen you ten vears ago, to
day I might be well dressed and riding
in shazes, instead of ragged and looking
like blazes." Don't be foolish and miss
the opportunity cf your life in failing to
consult the best authority in this coun
try on eyes and glasses. Do not allow
self-interested persons to tell you it costs
too much. Investigate for yourself. Go
to The Orton and see Dr. Matthez, it
will cost you nothing for a preliminary
examination. His stay is limited.

People often speak dlsparagingly'ot the usual dry goods advertisement;
they think it is all humbug and fake. The idea is wrong. All advertising
and all dry goods stores are not alike. Most of you know that the end of
the season is not far away. It means more to us than to you. We have
taken a sort of preliminary census of the Store's stocks; here and there we
find a few dozen of our pieces of goods that are the tag ends of large lots
gone before. We would rather see these goods out of the way at a small
loss than stowed away. If you know a bargain when you see it the lots
won't go around.. We pick a few items from a storeful; If theyare not what
you want spend half an hour at the store.
