Morton, of New Han orer, spoke at length against the bill amendment Utt ma mr tppij w no county until ratified by a rote of its people.' The lobbies and galleries were crowded, mostly with ladies. Mor ton's argument elicited a considerable cross-fire of question, so much so, that he appealed to the speaker to see that he was not farther interrupted. . : Lengthy arguments for the bill were made by Cowan, of Jackson, and Lucas, of Hyde. The House adjourn ed in the midst of the argument which will be resumed to-morrow. The House argued early in to day's esaion a bill to allow one corporation to own stock in another, finally refer ring it to be reported back for special order on Friday of next week.

There appears now to be little doubt bat that the fire in Brown's dry goods establishment Tuesday night was the work of an Incendiary, who either set fire to the place to bide robbery or did it carelessly In plundering the basemenL Mr. Aubrey Walsh says he is positire the" back door, which was found open, was securely fast ened from the Inside on the night be fore, and he is confirmed in that statement by Policeman Marcus Gray, who tried the backdoor In making his rounds at 8:30 o'clock. It is probable that the person responsi ble for' the work secreted himself in the store and proceeded to plunder when the place was closed for the night i ?; Yesterday Mr. Brown'i safe was taken from the ruins to his temporary office in the . bld Murchison Bank building. It was opened and the eon tents were .found intact though the dial of the-eombination was : broken off. This was probably done when it fell from the second floor as its sup ports burned away. w Only Baraisf Grass. The Fire Department' had a quick run .for a trifling cause yesterday.

The bill was ordered sent to the 'House for concurrence in amendments before ratification. Ar gument on this bill consumed orer two hoars. Brown, of Columbus, introduced a bill to rerise the navigation and pilot age laws at the port of Wilmington and on the Cape Fear rirer. He ask ed its reference to the Committee on Propositions and Grierances. Bella my, of Brunswick, insisted that it go to the Judiciary Committer, saying that both he and Morton, representing people interested, were , opposed to the bill. The Judiciary Committee refer ence was ordered. This is the begin ning of a big fight that comes invaria bly at each session of the Legislature. This time, though, there seems to be a determination to fight to the finish. Another notable bill introduced was by London, to appropriate $30,000 for a SUte exhibit at the St. Louis Expo sition.

S. ttglOwkanndered similes east northeast of Hatteras on Monday, going down with a full cargo of ce ment consigned by parties in New York toSarannah, Ga. . : The crew of the Powell were taken by the Tuscarora from the schooner Edgar W. Murdoch Capt Magune, Brunswick, Gfa., to New York, yester day morning at 11:30 o'clock, off Fry ing Pan lightship. The Murdoch set signals saying that she had a ship wrecked crew on board and asked if the cutter would take them. Haring answered in the affirmatire, the Tus carora steamed up and sent an officer and boat crew to the schoon er, which brought the shipwrecked men to the cutter and they arrired yes terday as stated. The rescued men are Capt Donald Wright, First Mate W. B. Weichart, Second Mate Eugene Miller, Steward Joseph Heally, Sea men Martin Jensen, Adolf V. Laine, A. Johnson, Simon Anderson, Fronz Berggren and Cabin Boy Wallace Bobinsoo. The bjrquentine sailed, from New York to Savannah Feb. 3. Boneh weather was encountered and for 84 hours ending at 3 A. M. last Monday a strong westerly gale was too much for the craft. She began to leak rap idly; her seams opened and ahe began; to settle. The schooner Murdoch, a powerful aailiBg craft of 1,215 tons, hove in eight and being signalled she stood by the distressed vessel for seven hours. Finally when it waa seen that their vessel was doomed Capt. Wright launched a boat and transferred bis crew to the schooner. Two trips were made and the second yawl cap sized along side the schooner, dis locating Capt Wright's shoulder in being jammed against the larger boat. Capt. Wright upon his arrival com municated with his owners and went to the Marine Hospital for treatment of -hie enottlder-and-other- bruisesTe celved at the last moment He is very grateful to Capt Hall and Executive Officer Jacobs, of the Tuscarora, for the many courtesies shown him. First Mate Weichert, of the Powell, gives an interesting account of the terrible experience of the ahip'a crew. The first day out from New York a gentle northwester gave promise of a delightful voyage. The second day southerly winds took them off shore, butbef ore night a northwester again set in and with shortened sails they came down at a lively clip. Toward even- ng, however, a gale set in. The pumps had been carefully tried ever four hours twice, but as in the mom- ng watch, after an hour's pumping, the. pumps still gave water, Mate Weichert sounded only to find three feet of water in the after hold. Capt Wright was notified and -ordered the ports to be Inspected. The mate was dumbfounded to find the water above the keelson in the forward hold, one tier of cement being under water.- The ports were all right bat her stem had given way and the water was rushing in two streams from the bows.- Going well before the wind, under these cir cumstances, the vessel waa bore to and all handa went to the pumps where they remained all night. Towards mid night the foreriggiK was carried away and the ship was put about to sare spars. The men battled for an hour in water to their waist and succeeded in securing the mast, but an hour from the pumps sadly told. Morning brought an increase in the gale and all gare up. Mountain seas fell on board, loosening batch combings, bursting mast covers and water began to stream through the deck everywhere. The mate and men began to beg the captain to leave the ship at the first opportuni ty, as she was drifting out of the paths of ressels. The ship continued to fill; the pumps got fouled, by the cement About 10 A. M. a steamship hore in sight, flying yellow and white stripes, but although she came in full view, she paid no attention to distress signals and passed on. The morning of the 6th the wind fell to a .dead calm and the poor men at : the - pumps had decreased the depth of water- in the hold a little. Toward erening the wind shifted to the eastward and the crew tried to reach Hampton Boads, but all night until the 7th the' vessel dragged herself along in a pitiful man ner. The swollen feet of the men, their bruised arms and the continued strain began to tell on them. ' Sunday the wind shifted to the northwest, learing the vessel about 80 miles east of Cape Henry and, another gale ap proaching. All the cabin and forecastle was flooded. Not a stitch of dry clothing with the intense cold did a man hare. On Monday morning when "hope de ferred had made the heart sick," the schooner Murdoch hore in sight and answered her signals of distress. - She stood nobly by the distressed craft and at daylight the PovoeWs signals told her they were sinking. A gale waa blowing and the seas were' breaking orer the resseL The ship's yawl waa small and two trips were decided upon to transfer the crew. : Mate Weichert took oyer the crew first and came We claim that' the GOAL we are selling Is as good as any Domestic soft GOAL sold on this market.

Wright was caught betweenj the yawl and schooner and received j injuries, while all the ship's papers, log book, chro nometer and all other belongings of the men were lost, some of them be ing .without shoes and hats.
