MB. PAGE'S ADDRESS AND THEME
in the address before Washing
ton and Lee University, Va., of Mr.
xnomsB JNelson Page the gifted
young author, his theme was "The
Old South." He is not of that class
of young men of parts who kno w but
little of the South and that little
limited to the last decade or so. He
has shown himself i
amply equipped
to discuss the manners and customs
of Virginia with .that fidelity and
realistic touch that mark the true
Southern author, "native here and
to the manner born' Mr. Page is not
of that unfortunate class of .young
men who bow down bere an idol of
gold and offer incense to the god of
materialism. He knows that it is great
and noble men "who constitute a
State;" and he feels proud of the civ
ilization of his people before the war.
He knows that American institutions
and American progress and American
prowess are inore indebted to the
South than to the jiNorth. Without
the grand conservatism of the
Southern leaders; J without the wis
dom and patriotism and gran
deur of Washington and Jeffer
son, of Madison J and Henry, J of
Andrew Jackson and John C. Cal
houn, this countryj would have long
ago fallen under the exclusive con
trol of men seethed in and saturated
with the Hamiltonian theory of a
Senate for life and a nobilitv. knd
would have become a Government of

But our purpose was to call atten
tion to the fact that the young man

AN ADDRESS BT SENATOR VANCE.

.the graduating class of Washington

hope to do bo. We have no doubt
of two things: he spoke -like a man
of rare common-Bense. and his ad
dress was welL written. Vance is
wise, witty and winning. . He is al
ways on the side of sound govern
ment, morality and right doing. The
address ; appears in The Comet, of
Johnson City, and it characterizes it
as "an eloquent address by North
Carolina's great statesman." But he
really knows nothing of statesman
ship and political science according
to his detractors. Cleveland is their
man.
We publish the most important
parts of Gen. Jubal A. Early's letter
in which he excoriates Gen. Tom

Early is an able man. He was a

THE REVISED VERSION.
. Mr. Join Fulton has furnished the
best paper on the Revised Version of
the Holy Scriptures for The Forum
for J une that we have Been. vIt is
admirably written and the views are
judicious as they appear to us. IThe
trend of his article is to show "Why
the Revised Version has failed?"
We think he has hit the nail square
ly on the head has given the right
solution. V The article cannot receive
-justice in , an ! abstract. You must
read the lucid, scholarly penetrating
discussion in the choice , language of
the critic to . appreciate its merits.
The Revisers erred on the Bide of ex
cess. They undertook too' much and
failed. The merits of the Victorian
.Revision .. are unquestionably very
considerable. The following taken
from near the close of the. article
will let our readers see what is the
sum of the matter. Mr. Fulton says:
"What shall we think, then, of the fact
tnat in this, one of the most charming
mcueaui our xjogiisu jtiioic, tne revisers
have felt themselves obliged by the nature
of their task to make twenty-one other

sense? The translators under King James
retained the genius of our mother tongue in
it. sublime simplicity, and yet had learned
wai periect art or composition which turns
words to music in their flow; the nineteenth
century English of the Westminster revis
ers has an almost flnicial refinement which
is wholly foreign to the genius of the sacred
writings. If the Westminster revisers had
confined themselves to the simplest inter
pretation of their task, that is to say, if
tney nad been content to remove spurious
passages, to adopt improved readings which
were not known to their predecessors, to
correct manifest mistranslations of the
sense of the original, to insert modern

not only read them but try to Bell
them. Mr. j Vanderpool says : : I
"Mr. Taylor had found my poor little

to say that no other man in the universe

Distressing Accident at Coldsboro.
A A terrible accident occurred in Ooldsboro
yesterday afternoon about half-past seven
o'clock, which it is feared caused fatal in
juries to an estimable - and accomplished
young lady of that place, MiaMattie
Rosenthal, a sister-in-law of Mr. H. Weill,
one'of Ooldsboro'a prominent merchants.
The young lady was riding in a huggy with
Mr. Adolph Oettingcr. They drove across
the railroad track in the northern pact of
the town, lust in front of the fast mail
jtrain coming in from Weldon. Tne noise
made by the train frightened the horse
jwhich baulked, and backing drove the
buggy against the swiftly moving care. In
her alarm Miss Rosenthal jumped out of
the buggy and was caught by the cars and
terribly mutilated, one of her limbs being
crushed and other injuries inflicted.- It is
feared that she cannot recover.
- Mr. Oettinger was thrown out of the
buggy tut escaped injury;
And Still Tbejr Come.
V.I he cotton bloom season must soon be
at its height, judging from the way the

are dtc'ining probably they wouldn't bloom
so freely. Since last report the Stab has
received several ' blooms and squares.
Among others a bloom from the field of
Mr. Joel Gibson, of Gibson's ' 8tation, one

when it was 96. "Wilmington cotton

Miss'Mattie Rosenthal, the unfortunate
young lady who was seriously injured last
.Thursday evening in Goldsboro, by jump

yesterday's Stab) died in a few hours after
the accident happened. The distressing
occurrence caused great sorrow in the com

Rise In the River.
There have been heavy rains in the up-
country during the past few days and as a
consequence a rapid rise in the Cape Fear
river has resulted. Advices from Favette-
ville report an increase of four feet and the
water still rising. The river boats have all
been delayed and forced to abandon sched
ules by the low stage of .water that has pre
vailed for some time past. The steamer
Cape Fear, due here Thursday, did not ar
rive until yesterday, and the Hurt is also a

its farming friends may meet the happiest

LiOtri8vrLi,E, June 25 Tho most de
structive fire that has occurred here in
years broke out in the tobacco quarter at
i.ao o ciock tnis morning. The entire
square, between Main and Market and
ninth and lenth streets, was the scene of
the fire, and two acres of buildings with
their contents wetc post. The loss is esti
mated at fully hair a million and the insu
rance cannot be obtained for weeks vot.
The papers of the various firms are in afes

covered, and 5,000 1 hogsheads of tobacco
destroyed, checked tip before the accurate
figures are known. Tne box from which the
alarm was given was defective, and as a re
sult the names were almost beyond control
when the engines arrived. Tho fire was
incendiary, it is j tnoaght. It broke
out in the middle of the block at
the rear end of Market street in the
Boone warebouso. j There was no fire or
lights of any kind i X rjom which the flames
could have started. The flames sorcad
with fearful rapidity. The Banner tobac
co warehouse and Sawyer, Wallace & Cos
Warehouse, fronting on Main street, were
quickly enveloped in flames. These ware
houses mentioned occupy nearly the whole
square and all were closely packed with
hogsheads of tobacco. Sawver. Wallace

little. The heat was intense and the in
flammable material wasjentirely too far be-

to save adjacent residences and business

several very narrow escapes were made.

The Fate of Ten Others Unknown.
By Telegraph to the Horning; Star!
Virginia, June 25. In addition to the
six men imprisoned by the fire in the Best
& Belcher mines, five men are' shut off
from escape in the 800-foot level, and four
men in the 400-foot level of the Gould &
Curry mine, making in all fifteen miners
imprisoned. Little hope is entertained of
saving the men on the 400-foot level! En
gines are busily engaged in pumping: air to
the levels where the men are imprisoned.
Thousands of persons surround the mines
and the most intense excitement prevails.
No effort is being made to put out the fire,
as it is impossible to ascertain where it is.
Later The rescuing oartv has finally
managed to reach the 400-foot-level. bnt

evidently been asphyxiated while endeav

New York-Jane 25. Notwithstanding
the fact that all settlements for loaned
stock and money go over until Monday,
transactions at the Stock Exchange to-day
foot up a fairly respectable total. Trading
was almost entirely free from excitement
and prices generally for a short time in the
first hour, displayed no special movement.
A rumor was circulated that the Secretary
of the Treasury would prepay July interest,
and there was considerable buying upon
this. After the early demand was supplied
the market became dull, but after the bank
statement was published and was found to
be less unfavorable than had been expected,
better buying was noticeable. - There was
considerable money loaned which had been
borrowed in , anticipation of a squeeze and
the maximum 1 rate to-day was only 9 per
cent There were attempts to work the
market lower in the first hour, and a few
stocks scored material declines, but In most
cases these were fully recovered before the
