" The speech 'made by Senator Hill in the New York. State Convention last Tuesday was an admirable one in. every respect and one that every Democrat in the country, who is a Democrat at heart, will cordially en dorse. It was not a labored nor an - embellished effortbut a plain, force ful, happily phrased statement of the' Conditions that confronted the Dem-I ocratic party when it came into pos session of the Government, and of the brave, masterful way it met those difficulties , and overcame them, and .rrrdoing so conferred lasting benefit not oa any one class or section "An Italian "mechanic, a resident of Florence, is said to have made an improvement on the bicycle .by which the rider can fly at a speed of more than a mile and a half a minute with one-twentieth of the exertion now required, while E.

It is built of aluminum, and weighs only three pounds. -1 THE FULLER TRIAL i the GENERAL COLSTON. He Is i Home in Now at the Soldiers' Biohmond. The friends of General Raleigh E. Colston will read the annexed, from the Richmond Dispatch, with interest: General R. E. Colston was brought to this city yesterday from Washington and taken to the Soldiers' Home. Prior to the war General Colston was a professor "" at the -Virginia Military Institute, and during the war was a ttngadicr-tjenerai in the confed erate army. After the cessation of hostilities he went to Egypt and for . some . time was in the service of the Khedive. Of late years he had been a clerk in the War Department at Washington, and, having been paral yzed, was allowed to do his work at home until a recent ruling of the depart ment forbade it. He was met at Elba by a delegation of ex-cadets, consisting of Colonel W. E. Cutshaw, General Charles J. Anderson, Colonel John B. Purcell, Colonel Thos. P. Pollard, Dr. George Ross, Mr. B. C. Wherry and Dr. W. A. Deas, and seemed greatly affected by this evidence of re gard. At the home, his daughter, Mrs. Ragland, of Petersburg, was waiting to receive him. of the country but upon all classes and all sections. His unre served tribute to the honesty, ability and patriotism of Mr. Cleveland's administration is'even more creditr ' able to him than, to the man of whom it was spoken, for it is, in a certain sense, praise irdm the mouth" of a nvaL It is veil known that the re lations between the President and Senator Hill are not what might be called friendly and yet the most ar dent admirer, of Mr. Cleveland could No Man Perfect. There is no man living who can spell and pronounce correctly every word in the English language. There i3 no man living who knows the meaning of every wora m our language. Hence every man who speaks or writes English cor rectly has occasionally to refer to a dic tionary. What a disappointment it is to one in search oi a rcord to find it has been omitted from the dictionary he re lies on for. information. Yet this is a very frequent occurrence.; The only sale way to do is to get the latest and most perfect dictionary attainable. The American Encyclopaedic Dictionary is never disappointing. The word you are looking for will always be found just where it should be, properly spelled, pro nounced and defined. For aa easy method of obtaining this perfect dic tionary see announcement elsewhere in this paper. Thirty-two parts are now ready. Send orders to the Star. ! not have pa a more honorable tribute than Senator Hill did on this . occasion. It is not the first time that Senator Hill has done that, for he paid tributes to Cleve land when the names of both were before the country for the Presiden tial nomination, he did it in the can vass after the nomination, and dur ing tne late session of Congress, when Mr. Cleveland was assailed for writing that letter to Hon. W; L. Wilson, Senator Hill came gallantly to hisdefence. All this speaks well for David B. Hill and shows that whilenemay be a vigorous partisan and faction fighter, he is not the slave of petty spite. Mr. Havermyer, President of the Sugar Trust, has ordered the closing of one halt his refineries, and will close,' he says, the other half shortly. The reasons assigned for this is that tpe Trust has a pretty big stock of ormer is aouDtiess tne real reason, tne otner a pretended one, trie object being probably to lead to the impres sion that the Trust is having a hard time under the new tariff, knd to do what it can to inluence the coming elections so as to prevent any further legislation on sugar. It is doubt less part of the programme arranged when the Trust got behind and worked up that bolt of the sugar planters in Louisiana. A - i? I .! . . .s rennea sugar is protected by the i of a cent a pound dutfr on it there will be very little refined sugar im ported, so all the Trust has to do is to shut down its refiheries, reduce the stock, .which will of course force up prices. A fraction of a cent a pound would make k big haul for the Trust, : and when it comes to hauls the Trust is always in it. The Trusty by the way, issharpening the axe to cut the props from under it some of these days ilvhen the Senate isn't quite as close is it is now, and when sugar will not have quite such a hold on it. WITHOUT A PILOT. A Charleston Steamer Tries to Oo Ont "Without a Pilot-It Ban Aground. v. The News and Courier says : The British steamship Glcnwood, Capt. Me hegan, is stuck on the north breaker of Swash Channel. When the news reached the city yesterday afternoon it occa sioned no "surprise. The master had. not been able to get his vessel ready by 5 o'clock, after which hour the pilots had said they would not take her out. The master thereupon insisted on starting without a pilot, trusting to his own, and as it proved, imperfect knowledge of the harbor. He also tried to go out by the old ' Swash Channel," which is more complicated than the Jetty Channel, and although his vessel drew only fifteen feet of water ran her aground on the north breaker. It was so evident to those versed in such matters that this was what would happen, that a tug boat went down just behind,, in anticipation of the supposed event, to be on hand to render assistance and thereby earn a large fee. Tide will be high at 5.10 this morning, at which hour the Glenwood will proba bly be pulled off. It should be borne in mind that, while it is unfortunate that the first cotton ship of the season should have grounded, the accident was due to no lack of water nor to incompetency of pilots, but solely to the fact that Capt. Mehegan thought that he knew the Swash Channel well enough to take his vessel out when he did not. General; Opinion Sesni to b That Jury Will Acquit tne Prisoner. - . Special Star . Telegram. i ; Rockingham, N. G, September 24. In the trial of E. J. Fuller for the mur der of Parker, at Fayetteville, the State resumed its evidence upon the reassem bling of Court' this morning at 9 o'clock. Miss Emma Steel and Miss Addie Chandler, Rev. J.

He was cool and collected and made a good impression, giving sub stantially the same evidence as before, except as to a rib being broken and a knot on his neck which was discovered since the last trial. Other witnesses in troduced were Mrs. John Steel, Mrs. M, F. Cook Mr. H. L. Cook and Mr. Irvin Overbaugh. Some of them are new wit nesses,! wno gave evidence in favor of the prisoner.

It is generally j thought that the State's case is not as strong as at the last trial, and the defendant's much stronger. Large crowds of ladies attend the trial and public interest is great. IMPROVING THE ROADS. The Economy of Using Convict Iiabor for I Hoad Improvement. Mr,' W. C. McMackin, of Raleigh, de livered an address at the Road Con ference, in Chailotte, that possesses de cided linterest, and the Star would call the attention of the County Commis sioners of New Hanover to the figures given by Mr. McMackin as to the com parative cost of hired and convict labor. He says : "A hired man for 26 days at 75 cents per day amounts to $19.50; a convict for 30 days at 21 cents per day, $6.30,1 showing an economic difference in fayorjof the convict of $13.20. Twenty one cents per day includes guard, board, clothing and medical attention. There are tj-day 50 convicts oa the roads of Wake county at a cost of 21 cents per per day,, amounting to, for 30 8315, while 50 hired men at 75 per capita per day for 26 days would be $975. This shows a difference in favor of convicts of $660j The con- vicis win ao 35 per cent, more work than hired labor." capita days, centsi Death of an Eminent Divine of the M. E. Church South. Kev. F.

Corns Again, The Florence Times says: "The receipts of cotton Friday were 58 bales. Forty-nine were shipped to Wilmington, nine to Norfolk and none to Charleston." That s all right. Wilmington is ready to take every bale that is received at Florence, and pay cash for it at the market price. But there - are many towns besides Florence that understand the advantages of Wilmington as a cot ton market. ' . INTERESTING READING. .-. What Colored Eepublioan Editors Think of Fusion and the Butler P-op Patty The Maxton Blade and the Wilming ton Herald are Republican' papers and both are edited by colored men." At this juncture it is Interesting to see how they stand on the 'question of a Republican-Populist fusion. ; - r s ; -Here is an extract from .an editorial that appeared in the Blade : "Colored Republicans should bear in mind that the Populists care nothing for them; they. are after your votes,., and when you have helped to place the reins of government in their hands you can goto Guinea, so far as they are con cerned. It is no secret with the Popu lists and some of the white Republicans that they want to get rid of the negro and all they want now is to get in power and they will draw the. color line with a vengeance. Their lead ers have repeatedly said that there was material enough in the Republican party, together with dissatisfied Demo crats, to form a white man's party which would beat the straight Democrats. This is their game, and it does not take a sage to see it. All this talk about chang ing the election laws, and doing away with the present system of county gov ernment is simply used by them to catch colored votes. If the Populists should get into power with the help of your votes, they would pass election laws that would be a disgrace to civilization. Why do we say so ? Because the Populists hate the negro worse than the devil hates holy-water. The Populist papers have written column after column of abuse of Cleveland because be appoint ed a few colored men to office. "It would be a thousand times better for the negroes if they never vote again than it would be to vote a set of men in power who would make political serfs of them. The Populist party is composed of office-seekers, and if they were to get into power the negroes would be done holding offices of any kind." This from the Herald is equally decided in tone, and indicates that the Pop. office-seekers who expect to poll the negro vote will be disappointed: We have it from a reliable source that some blasted pig-head Populist editor wrote us up and chareed "us as beinp- editor of a Democratic organ for the white people of Wilminsrton. We tried but so far haven't succeeded in getting hold of the paper to which we reier. would say to the editor that to our mind he acted devilish -cowardly, and if he or any of the other pig-headed i-ypui:si editors wno copied his editorial on us wish to open a discussion with us on the charge above mentioned, say so bravely. We have always been against fusing with a few ignorant negro-hating Populist voters, and always will. ! Mark our prediction and weirh thr result this Fall. The inteliirent is not going to vote with! the editor of the Home and his followers. How in the deuce is it that up to four or five years past the Populists had been voting a Democratic ticket, advocated Demo cratic principles, edited Democratic papers, prayed Democratic prayers, at tended Democratic conventions, and now.pull out and pop up! over in Ral eigh, and we are told i four white men to one colored in the so named Republican convention . there said wnai tne negro should do and what ticket he should vote? Give us a Republican ticket in our hands and we will cast it. Give us a Republican plat form and we will, support it. But a ticket fused and named by the negro hating Pops for over one hundred thousand ne groes to support is ridiculous, and we will not support it. Our party is the older, why didn't they allow us to nom inate and they do the voting? We have the majority of the votes, so why not have the loudest voice? Can, or will we sit still and allow such? In defence of our race and rights we rise uo and say, regardless of whose ox we gcire, "live or die. survive or perish," we shall do all in our power to defeat the Populist fused, ucgru aaung llCKet.

He began nis ; speech immediately after the ad journment of the Populist county con vention and a-large number of Populists were in the audience. The Senator was in good trim and delivered one of the best speeches ever heard here. Many sayj it was the best they ever heard. 1 : t . i . ivcu au uu in ue oi me great speeeh is impossible here, but it was full of eenuine Democratic doctrine and a splendid de- lencc of the Democratic administration. He devoted a large part of his time to the Populists, and much good will result from it. He spoke two hours and was applauded heartily throughout. Demo crats here are jubilant over the speech and the Populists equally depressed. It will make many votes for the Democracy. lhe Populist-Republican county con vention nominated a full legislative and county ticket about evenly divided be tween the two narties. Dr. R.

There was a bie iack-oot. with all its glowing beauty of red, and white, and blue chips, reposing in the centre of the table. It had been made for $25 for a starter, says the Buffalo Express, and each of the five players had sweetened four times with a $5-chio before there came a pair of jacks wherewith to split it open. After the fourth deal the Colonel picked up his hand carelesslv and glanced at the corners of the cards. He smiled a little and said softly : "I'll bust that for fifty." The next man passed out. So did the next and the next. Th Judge, who was the last to have a say. naa looked at his cards carefullv. and an expression of supreme disgust had set tled on his face.

I j Special Star Telegram. ROCKINGHAM', N. C, Sept. 25. The Fuller trial was resumed this morning at 9 o'clock. Miss LulaSteel was the, first witness produced for the defendant and consequently testified in his favor. Mr. LJ-C. Jones, of Jonesboro, was then placed upon the stand. He also made a statement in Fuller's favor. Next a rail road man of Fayetteville'was putfcnthe stand by the State.; r Col. L. .C. Jones said he , was at the boarding house of Mrs. Carson when Parker was killed. Had a full view of the occurrence; saw Fuller walking up and down j the. street and-sit down at Mrs. Cook's boarding house; then saw Parker and Captain Kings bury coming down the street ; they met, and when he looked he saw Parker on top of Fuller; about that time he heard a pistol fire; also saw Parker get up and try to get something out of Fuller s hand; he was about seventy-five yards from them. He saw Fuller's face was very badly lacerated in the conflict. He said it was only about fifteen feet from where Fuller sat on Mrs. Cook's porch to j where Parker lay in death. Fuller had been walking up and down the street in front of John Steel's. Dr.McDuffie, who had been practic ing medicine for thirty-nine years, and lives at Fayetteville, said he saw Fuller after the i encounter, and his face and head were very bloody, and on examina tion found blood flowing from his left ear, inj consequence of blows he had received on his head; there was One wound on the side of his head about two and a-half inches iong, the skm was not broken but the hair was knocked off; the wound on the' left side of his body gave him considerable trouble for several days. He said all these 'wounds were inflicted by some thing harder than the' natural fist; the wound in his side was purple three days after the preliminarytria!.. Two broken ribs were discovered, about lour weeks after the first examination. He attribut ed Fuller's illness m jail to the wounds inflicted by Parker. He (Fuller) was delirious for several days. Parker's weight was about 175 pounds while Fuller's was about 125. thus giving him advantage in this respect. On being cross-questioned by the State the doctor saii he saw him every day while ia jail for a week, and every other day for a week longer, and that the b;ood from fa is nose ! could not have been caused from a bleeding nose; could not say whether he said anything on the former trial in regard to the wounds on his person or not. The next witness was Dr. H. W. Lilly, of Fayetteville. He said he had known Fuller all his life and he was a man of good character. Saw him Sunday after -the murder in jail, and his face appeared beaten, but he made no critical examina tion only tne cut above the ear, and it seemed as if some sharp instrument was used updin his head; did not cee pos sibly how the wounds could have been caused by the opponent's first; the wound on his jneck was, he thought, prob ably caused by falling on some tools or something of that kind, or by some sharp instrument. On being questioned by the State, he said Fuller had not been in .hc habit of carrying pistols or knucks. Miss Luia Steel's sister Emma, and her cousin. . Miss Addie Chandler. , dressed in deep mourning, were called to the stand and asked: "Did Mr. Fuller ; say to Miss Chandler that he intended to go to Parker and stop him, and if he! resented it he would kill him?" No, was the reply. They said they were siti ting on tne porch and did not rememj uer ni3 calling her. . JH E DEMOCRATIC CANVASS. Speakers Appointed tj Chairman Pou for .

C, September 26, The Breeden-Moore homicide case was terminated last night at eleven o'clcck. This was one of the most impcriant cases ever tried in this county, the case was commenced one week ago. The jury was confined all the time. The speeches occupied more than eight hours, j Solicitor Tohnston, T. I. Rogers and T.j W. Boucher made the biggest effort of their lives. The court house was filled every day. The case Was given to the jury yesterday at 1 o'cl bck. They were out ten hours and brought in a verdict finding Breeden, the defend ant, guilty of manslaughter. This verdict demonstrates that men of influence and wealth can be convicted in Marlboro county.

Columbia, S.C.. Sent. 26. The anti Tillman caucus evidently did not know what it wanted to do. It adjourned this morning at 4.30 without doing anything except to pass a few resolutions. First it was decided to make nominations. then the caucus refused to rescind the resolutions to that effect, yet it wound up by not making any nominations. The discussion was long and earnest and the nomination ' crowd was In the ma jority, but a number of delega tions announced that thev would with draw if nominations were made. Various individuals announced the same deter mination, and all this had the effect of making the majority finally fail to do what they had at first determined upon. The nomination element is much dis gusted. The Tillman ticket will go through now without j opposition. The resolution passed provided for the or ganization of "True" , Democratic clubs and strongly opposed the calling of the proposed Constitutional Convention. CAROLINA CENTRAL R. R.

EFFECT OF THE RECENT BIG DEAL IN SAVANNAH.: Vessels to Come After the 61,000 Barrels Kow in the Hands of lhe Exporters -How the Factors Combine Worked Brought anS.verg9 of . 26 3 4 Cents For 156,000 Barrels - Good Prices Ex 'peotedFor the Best of tho Season's Beoelpta. The Savannah News gives the follow ing interesting view of the present out look for spirits turpentine The sale of 31,500 barrels of spirits ot turpentine by the factors to the ex porters, which" practically cleared out the factors' stock, was the largest trans action in spirits that has ever been made in the' history of the market, which means that it fs the largest amount that has ever been sold at any one deal. An account of the transaction was given in yesterday's Momine News. There was much comment upon it yes terday, and every body seemed anxious to know just what it meant. The fact that most of it brought 24 cents, and a small portion of it sold only Js of a cent higher, made many believe that the factors had failed to realize what they had expected, and that the object of their combination had been to a certain extent deleated. This sale was nearly three times as large as any that has ever been made be fore. In fact the sales this season have been the largest in the history of the market. In July 11,000 barrels were sold at 28 cents and 27 cents, in May 10,119 barrels were sold at 28 cents, and in August 10,000 barrels were sold at 26 cents. But there has never before been a sale like that made day before yesieraay, wnicn amounts in money to about $400,000. A FACTOR'S EXPLANATION. Mr. John R. Voungi a prominent fac tor, was asked if the isale at that price meat that the factors had been unable to accomplish what they intended when they formed their combination in April. He said the facts would show that such was not the case. "About May 1," said Mr. Young, -when the combination was first formed, spirits was selling at 25 cents. Tne largest re ceipts at this port come In June, July and August, and experience has taught that prices are lowest d urinor thnw months. JVith spirits selling at 25 cents then, there was a strong probability of its going to 22 cents unless something was done to check it. This waa accom plished by the factors' combination.They fixed a minimum price which they would accept for the product, which varied ac cording to circumstances, and by that they stood. WHAT THE RECORDS SHOW. ' "The records of the Board of Trade will show that instead of falling below 25 cents, large quantities of spirits sold in May first at 26 cents, then at 27 and finally at 28 cents. The buyers had .sold large quantities short and they had to have the product or cancel their con tracts. During the month ot June spirits were maintained at 28Ji cents and con siderable was sold at 29 cents. It sold in July at 29, 28 and 27 cents. "Since the factors' combination was formed, between May 1 and Sept. 20, we nave received 155,685 barrels of spirits. Of this it can be seen from the records of the board of trade that about 126,000 barrels sold at prices ranging from 25 to 29 cents, or an buerage of a little over 27 cents, and when an average of this and the safe of 30,000 barrels at 24 cents is taken it will be seen that the stuff netted the producer an average of 26 cents per gallon. . This is what the factors received for the stuff." instead nf the 22 cents they would have had to take if it had not been for their combination to hold the stuff and advance the prices." THE SALE AND ITS EFFECT. "How was the sale made?" was asked. "The 30,000 barrels sold yesterday is not the stuff which has been held during the summer; but it has been received within the last thirty days. In the lat ter part of August about 13,000 barrels of it was received, and the balance was received in September. Some of the factors opposed the sale even at this time at the price offered, and I for one was against it, but it was favored by a majority, and all the factors will de fend it." What will be the effect of this sale?" was asked. "It will be seen." was the reply, "that this sale places almost the entire stock available in the hands of the exporters. "cy cuniroi tne oi.uuu Darrels here, 20, 000 in London and about 9,000 in Bruns wick. For this, as has been seen, they paid on an average of 26 cents. To make a profit on their purchase they will have to advance the price to at least 27 or 27 cents. They now become bulls in order to realize on their investment, and this will undoubtedly raise the price of the product. In order to keep ud the market and dispose of their product ad vantageously they will have to buy all or a large part of the spirits received here be tween now and the end of the season, which will be about 100,000 barrels. The price as was seen has already advanced M of a cent, and there is no doubt but that it will continue to advance. Thus the factors have reason to expect to rea lize at least 27 cents on the future re ceipts of the season. They have cleaned out their stock and will start afresh. "The factors' combine will continue to keep up the market and do the best that can be done for the producer." FORTY VESSELS COMING.
