At Martinsburg. W. Va, MrBryan

electric light wires were, prostrated in
every direction, and the streets are
blocked bv the wrecks in manv carts of
the city. Savannah, Ga., was swept

The phondeaoscope is a little elec
toral instrument with which pbysl

: Mr. Bryan is not "arraying the
masses against the classes," but Mr.
Hanna and his so-called Democratic
assistants are making a strong pull
to
array the classes against the
masses.
ihey say Tom Reed is coming
into North Carolina to air his elo
quence and logic. Tom will see a
"y nice and interesting country
ana a good many Bryan people if be
come to North Carolina.
ne editor of the. Washington
Times seems to be in a state of alarm,
and rises to exclaim that if Bryan be
recced the factories will all shut up
"no. general pandemonium prevail
He must have gone to bed with
some of Tom Dixon's harangues.
Commenting on the statement that

And now Hon. Henry C Payne,
who runs the Republican National
Committee when Mark Hanna is out
of town, rises to remark that the
McKlnley "fight is already won."
But, in the meantime, Mark Hanna
continues to pass his hat around for
those "contributions." Now, the

tinue his "pilgrim" delegations to

Some of the gold organs seem to
go on the principle that if you can't
convince a man the next best thing
to do is to try to scare him out of his
wits, and therefore they are making
all sorts of hairlifting predictions as
to the rackety time we are going to
have when Bryan is elected. These
fellows must imagine that they are
addressing constituencies of idiots.
Mr. Kleinschmldt, owner of the
American National Bank, at Helena,
Montana, and one of the richest men
in that State, agrees to pay $1.10
an ounce for silver if Bryan is
elected and a free coinage bill be
passed by the next Congress, and to
pay it in gold. He is not afraid of
50-cent dollars.
A Raleigh Baptist informs the
Raleigh Press-Visitor that Rev. Tom
Dixon is not now in fellowship with
the Baptist Church. He swung off
from the Baptist Church some time
ago, and started on his own book.
He left the church about the time he
kicked out of the Democratic
party.
Mr. Bryan, according to a New
York gold politician, left "an ugly
trail behind , him in Western New
York." He also left "an ugly trail
behind him" in New England.
The people who go to hear Wm.
J. Bryan do not go on free passes
furnished by Mark Hanna. They
pay their own way and get the worth
of their money.

$40,000. "
A pretty close ' estimate of tbe losses
by the 'fire on tbe west side of the river
Tuesday night, makes the total (not in
cluding the-loss by the burning of the
barquentine - Verdandi) about $25,000;
very nearly if not quite covered by in
surance. Less than fifty casks of spirits
turpentine were burned, bat 8 171 bar
rels cf rosin went up in . flame and
smoke. Of this amount Messrs. Pater
son, Downing & Co. bad 2.738, Mr. D. L
Gore 573. Mr. D. McEachern 1,830, and
Messrs. Murchison & Co. 8,600 barrels.
Tee wharves and sheds burned were tbe
property of Messrs. Mnrchison & Co.
and Mr. D. L Gore. Messrs. W. A.
Martin & Co., who occupied part of Mr.
D. L. Gore's yard, pU.ce their loss on
paint factory and material turned at
$100 to $500 (partly insuretf), and tbe
Brunswick Bridge and Ferry Co., office
atd shed burned, $200. I
The Swedish barquentine Verdandi
was about twelve years old and her
value is estimated at from $18,000 to
$15,000. Her cargo of rosin was valued
at $4,466.25. Capt. Edgar Williams
who with the tug Marion towed tbe
barqaentlce down stream after she had
broken loose from her moorings and
was rapidly drifting across the river, a
seething mass of flitnes, says that at 8
a. m. he bored three holes on the port
side, near tbe stern of the vessel, and
about 7 a. m. she sank in 20 feet of
water, where she now lies. Tbe vessel
is a total loss but part of the cargo may
be saved.

DEMOCRATIC GATHERING.
MEETING OF THE BRYAN, SEWALL
AND WATSON CLUB.
An JEathuaiettio Aaeemblaee in tbe County
Court House Address by Ma j. i
- P. P. Do fTy.
The Bryan, Sewall and Watson Dem
ocratic Club met last night at the Court
House, the President, ' Col. T. W.
Strange, in the chair, and Mr. T. W.
Clawson secretary.
After the reading and approval of tbe
minutes of the last meeting, President
Strange urged upon the members pres
sent the importance of registering, and
also to see that their neighbors regis
tered. T he meeting then ad j ourned. .
After adjournment, an address was
delivered to the club by Major P. F.
Duffy. It was listened to attentively
and frequent outbursts cf applause in
terrupted the speaker. .
Major Daffy said:
"I am here to-night to speak for a
cause as grand, as important, as honest,
as has ever enlisted tbe efforts, the
brains, the tongue of any political arena.
People who do not sympathize with us
call it a braze. A crazs which is
sweeping from ocean to ocean; a
craze which calls tbe laboring man,
from his shop,, the farmer from
his farm, and which has enlisted every
man whose heart beats for humanity.
You may call it a craze j when Patrick
Henry declared that the , colonies must
throw oS the shackles which bound
them. Bat, suppose it is a craze, people
never go crazy without a cause. We
know that for twenty odd years the
people of this country has been suffer
ing. There has been complaint from tbe
shops, the stores, tbe farms, and in fact
universal complaint. And yet they tay
we should not complain. W hat do they
propose to do, nothing ? They say to
agitate is wrong. If I tell a laboring
man be is not lastly rewarded; tbey say
shot up. If lteW-fMchis pro
duce is not bringing a high enough
price, they say, influencing the country
against the city. Mv friends, there are no
two industries anywhere bat are in
some way linked one to the other, and
if one suffers the other jwill suffer. If
the man in tbe shop suffers, the man on
the farm suffers, and vice vers j. Every
interest is connected with another inter
est. Some countries live, by one particu
lar industry. For twenty odd years we
have haJ&ur finances and our prices
governed by London. England had an
agent over here in the person of John
Sherman. In 1776 she tried to crush
out American manhood, but failed. In
1873, pursuing the same plan, she suc
ceeded, by aid of those whose name was
hot Arnold but Sherman, and that class
of men who made ns slaves. During the
war the Rothschilds bad an agent over
here by the name of Belmont. In 1868,
when the Democrats tbe only party
that has ever stood by the people de
clared against national banks, with Ho
ratio Seymour, they knifed him. And now
a party wbo have tbe impudence to call
themselves Democrats are trying toknile
Wm. J. Bryan, tbe grandest Democrat
since tbe day of Andrew Jackson. Ar
nold called himself an American, and
tbey call themselves Democrats. They
may have been, but they should not now
have the cheek to call themselves Demo
crats. Tbey have roped old man Pal
mer in poor, sweet, soothing old duck
who has been everything in turn to
carry the banner of Democracy, when
he is not good enough to tie its shoe
strings. There are some people who live
on others' misfortunes and miseries, and
others who live by using some one as
a stepping-stone. The masses insist
upon having more comfort not luxu
ries for they are not used to that, and
that silver be restored as in 1873. Money
acceptable by one should be acceptable
by alL What right has a bondholder to
refuse to take a ten dollar bill, demand
ing gold, when you and I have to take
it? Money good enough for one is good
enough for all.
"lathe American form of government
the millionaire is no better than the
ploughman. It is tbe man wbo makes
himself. Man cannot control whether
he was born in shop or palace. He is
judged by his merit. In 1873 silver was
demonetized, gold became scarce and
was therefore in demand. Gold went
out of circulation, practically speaking.
They tell you that we have now more
silver. than in 1878. We have, but
they neglected to state that the gold,
greenbacks and State bank notes have
ceased. Instead of eighteen hundred
million, we have got practically about
five hundred million. Have we not the
right to complain of the scarcity and de
mand that the shackles be taken eff and
silver be restored in 1873 ? When Wm.
J. Bryan Is elected President, with a
Congress to back him, the people of
America will take heart and feel that
they have something to live and. hope
for. He will place a man in the Treas
ury, and when five hundred dollars in
greenbacks are brought there, he will
band back a check payable in silver. No
gold? No, not this time. When he
does this, there will never be another
greenback presented. Of course all this
will not happen in an hour, a day or a
week, bat the law of supply and demand
mast and will be recognized. One will
be benefitted in one way and one in an
other.
"Then they talk to yon about the
fifty-three cent dollar; but there is not
one of them who will exchange a fifty
cent dollar for fifty-five cents a half'
dollar and a five-cent piece. There is no
Americanism or manhood in it, nor is it
honest to intimidate a man. What right
has any man to tell another yon shall
not vote as you want to, but as I say ; I
am master..
"My countrymen, I want each of yon
to become a missionary, because North
Carolina is at stake and It is your dnty
to stick np and battle for her, whether
yon get silver, gold or anything else. If
you have to chose between the two, save
North Carolina.and trust In God to help us
Out in tbe other. Don't you remember
the dark days of 1868 under W. W
Holden ? How some of the best men of
the State were dragged out cf their beds
and locked up in cages? Men were ar
rayed against each other, friends against
friends. ; After twenty years 'of peace
between? races and classes we do not
want to fall back to the days of 1868-78.
"I tell you.- my conntiymen, fire
brands will be started; not with torch,
but with ill feeling against each other
It will never do to trifle with a thing
like this. Let them pat the shackles on
yon and it will take the power of a
giant to break tbeuu Not only con
s der tbe nitional is3ue bat the State
iisus as .we'll. One is a matter of
dollars and cents, tbe other homes, fire
sides and families. Although I am not
a native of North Carolina, I have been
one ever since I set foot upon her soil.
I have eight reasons for being a North
Carolinian seven children and a wife
all from North Carolina. Young meu,
your fathers have left you an inberitar.ee
you onght to be proud of. . North Caro
lina is one .of tbe most honorable of the
forty-four States. Never was there a
time when North Carolina failed to do
her duty, whether on the field of battle,
in council or by ballot. If yon start
right you are always sure to keep in the
right. Gentlemen. I thank you."

Sjecial Star Correspondence -Raleigh.
N. C, Sept. 30.
Tbe storm last night was oce of the
meat severe that his visifed Raleigh in
years. Trees were blown down and dam
age done property generally. Thit morn
ing the streets were filled with wreckage,
lo the capitol ground several handsome
trees are on the ground.- The big Re
publican banner was wrecked by tbrH
heavy wind, which blew at a velocity of
over twenty-six miles an hour.
Bat the most distressing news result
ing from tbe storm's ravages cornea
froiu the country, about six miles from
here. A giant oak tree fell on the rest
dec ce of Mr. Price, demolishing the
structure. Mrs. Price, who had retired
and was in bed, was instantly killed.
Mr. Price and little son were sitting by
tbe fire-place. They were knocked
down and badly brnised. bat managed
to crawl from under the wreckage.
Cotton was nearly all blown out and
in wat olaces the crround was literallv
covered. Tbe damag will be very great.
Kaieien nas been without cot&vuni-
cation with the outside world TSr

The two murderers who .took the life
of tbe young white girl Miss Faulk

last night for safe-keeping. Their
names are Tony Baptist and Lonzo
Foster. They are not over seventeen
years of age. Both are ebony black.

It is perhaps noticeable to many ob-
servant'people that tbe Caucasian talks
one way one week and jast the opposite
another. This week that paper abases
tbe Democrats and asserts that tbe Re
publican party is more friendly to silver.
A week: or so ago the Republicans were
very bitterly denoucced. Bat it is all
the same to the Populists, who think of
nothing but holding the balance of
power.
It Was An Iooendlary Fire
Tbe fire in the southeastern section of
tbe city Tuesday night (briefly referred
to in the Star yesterday) is said to
have been caused by an Incendiary. It
began in a grocery store, corner ot
Third and Dawson streets, kept by Mr.
D. Wilder, and before it was suppressed
tbe dwelling adjoining (occupied by Mr.
Wilder) and three other small frame
buildings were destroyed.' Mr. Wilder
has reason to believe that his store was
set on fire. He says that shortly before
tbe fire broke oat, he was Induced to
make a search of his premises by the
barking of his dog. As he entered bis
back yard, he saw a man standing at the
back door of his store. Tbe man ran
off, and Mr. Wilder returned to his
room.' About forty-five minutes later
Mr. Wilder was aroused by tbe burning
of his store. He says when he cot to
the back door of his store the last time
tbe whole Inside was in a light blaze
and a strong odor of kerosene oil per
vaded the premises. Mr. Wilder had
insurance on his storehouse and goods
as follows : 1900 on his goods, $500 of
which was with tbe Hanover Company,
of New York, represented by' Messrs.
Worth & Stedman, and $400 with the
Liverpool, London and Globe, repre
sented by Messrs. J. H. Boatwright &
Co. The dwelling house was insured
with Messrs. J. H. Boatwright & Co. for
$350; the furniture with the same firm
lor $400. The storehouse and fixtures
also with Messrs. Boatwright & Co. for
$400.
Wire Ties for Cotton Bales.
Cotton buyers are all stirred np
over , the new wire process of baling
cotton. There has been a great deal of
comment on the prominence and use of
wire which Is fast Taking the place of
ties in South Carolina and Georgia. The
Observer says the Charlotte cotton men
have had no experience in handling cot
ton that was baled with wire until the
last few days. Cotton has been pouring
In baled up with wire, and it is giving
the compress people any amount of
trouble. Several of the Charlotte buyers
Have agreed to hereafter dock all
cotton they buy baled with wire 80
cents on each bale. This is done on ac
count of the compress people not being
able to handle the wire-baled cotton
with expediency. It requires more
time to handle the cotton baled with
wire and the wire cannot be re-used
as the old original ties are. It is stated
that the farmers save nothing by using
wire Instead of ties, but tbey are deter
mined to do all they can in this wsy to
break up the big trust of the tnanufao
tnrersand dealers la ties.
