During Superintendent Mewborn's administration in 1898, the Federal prisoners "gave the, authorities much trouble. More than once they mu tined and refused to work but 1 they were never flogged. CRUISER RALEIGH AGROUND. Struck on a Shoal While Entering Charles ton Harbor Palled Off by Togs Late in the Day. By Telegraph to the Mernthg Star. Charleston, S. C, May 9. The cruiser Raleigh, which was bound to be.present at the Confederate reunion, went aground:' early this morning about three hundred feet outside of the south jetty. Captain Coghlan de clined assistance from all tugs. Late this- afternoon when the tide filled the cruiser was pulled off and proceeded up the harbor to her an chorage. It was stated by her officers that a superficial examination dis closed no injuries to her hull. The Raleigh was coming , in with a coast pilot and the point at, which she grounded is known as "North Break er," just outside of the jetty. She went on the shoal broadside and lay easy and perfectly calm. Water and ' tugs had no difficulty in freeing her from her awkward position. 1 The accident necessitated a post ponement of the official reception to the cruiser and this will be carried out to-morrow i morning, according to programme." .

The naval1 officials are not disposed to criticism by the news of the grounding of the Kaleigh, the general opinion ' being that it is an unavoidable risk in tak ng a vessel of such draft as the Ra leigh into a jettied harbor. if the ship comes off without dam age, it is probable that there will not be any official notice taken of the matter.

THE HAIL AT MAGNOLIA. Wrought Much Damage to Truck Crops and Especially to Strawberries. .Special Star Correspondence. Magnolia, N. C, May 9. We had a dreadful storm of hail, wind and rain yesterday afternoon. One mile and a half from here straw berries were nearly all destroyed, but the storm was not quite so bad here. Our largest strawberry farmer lost seven acres, and will pick few if any more this season. The rows between were even full of hail, and cart loads could have been shovelled up at 8 o'clock last night, and the forests looked like Winter." This is the sec ond hail in two weeks.

The business session of the reunion was called to order this morniner by General C. I. Walker, commanding the South . Carolina division, in the handsome auditorium erected for the occasion by the city of Charleston. Its enormous floor space was crowded and thousands were unable to gain admittance to the building. When General John B. Gordon, the com mander in-chief, appeared unon the stage he was greeted with thunders of applause. The band struck up "Dixie" and the veterans cheered and cheered again. In calling the assemblage to order General Walker spoke of Charleston's invitation to the veter ans to meet at the birthplace of seces sion, and said that the gavel he was using was that which in 1860 had been used to call to order the seces sion convention. The chairs used by the officers to-day and the table of the presiding officer were the same as used on that memorable occasion. Dr. J. Wm. Jones, the Chaplain General, then invoked the divine blessing upon the convention. It asked iC of the God of our common country, and prayed that all Confed erates may be true to the principles of constitutional freedom for which our fathers fought and that "these princi ples might be handed down to our children's children." He invoked the divine blessing upon the President of the United States and all in au thority. 1 Speaker Gary, of the House of Rep resentatives of South Carolina, pre sented the resolutions' adopted by the General Assembly in regard to the 1 1J? . ji V, . 017 1 noiaing 01 me reunion in mis oiaie.

Cheers and shrill yells for the commander-in-chief mingled with ' the crash of the band, and hats, handker chiefs and flags were waved frantical- ; When border was hnally secured e old Confederate chieftain was pre sented by General Walker, and de- iverea an eloquent address. He spoke with all the vigor, eloquence and grace which have won for him a national reputation as an orator. General Gordon closed his speech with these words: . "I feel empowered by your confi dence to send to every patriot in every section and State the fraternal greet' ings of this convention and of the whole people; to pledge, in the name of every Confederate, and son and daughter of a Confederate, the South's eternal loyalty to every cause for the uplifting of American manhood,' the perpetuity or American freedom, the unity of the American people; that by all these agencies we may accelerate the onward march of the republic in its benign mission to humanity." After the applause had subsided, General Gordon led Mrs. Stonewall Jackson to the front of the stage and she was enthusiastically, applauded. As he presented Mrs. Jackson, and in the first lull, General Gordon said : ' '1 will shake her hands for you all." and in an instant he added, "No, I will do more than that; I am going to hug her for you. and with tbat he did what he said he was going, to do, which met the hearty approval of the vast throng. Lee's Resolution. It was at this stage General Lee presented his resolution, the full text of which ioiiows: "Whereas, In Atlanta. Ga., on De cember 14th, 1898, the President of the United Estates or America gave utter ance to the sentiment: 'That the time has come when the United States should share in caring for the graves of the Confederate dead;' and, whereas, this utterance of the chief executive of the nation demands from us, the sur vivors of our dead comrades in arms, a frank and generous response to so lofty and magnanimous sentiment; therefore, be it . vf, "Kpxnlned.

By Telegraph to tne Morning Star. New York. May 10. The cotton market after opening steady at un changed prices to an advance of one point showed considerable weakness under a disposition to liquidate long contracts,' the bulls being afraid to trust their position: in view of a possi bly disappointing bureau report Un der this pressure the market declined four to five points,! but upon the pro mulgation or the report from Wash ington the feeling; became steadier. There was some disappointment regarding the terms of the bureau report, which last year stated the probable acreage- at 93.4 percent, this being a decrease of 6 percent, as compared with the previ ous year. But this year the statisti cians at Washington indicated that the acreage question eoutd not be ex pressed in figures until next month, while stating that the belief of corres pondents pointed to a reduction by States of five per cent in Mississippi and Indian Territory, eight in Ala bama, nine in Texas,' ten in Arkansas, eleven in tSouth Carolina, twelve in Louisana, thirteen in Georgia, four teen in North Carolina, and eigh teen in Oklahoma. The trade here argued that the report -was bullish rather than bear ish, but that it - did not amount to much, either one way or the other. The market soon after its publication, became almost stagnant with a sagging tendency. The extraordinary sales of spot cotton in Liverpool (20,000) which private canies asencea 10 continental demand, tended to check selling at this point in connection with favorable re ports from Manchester and continued encouraging accounts from New England.- The dose was barely steady , with one to six noints net lower.
