By Southern Associated Press. Washington, Jan. 3 —ln the case of the Central Trust Company of New York vs Wm. McGeorge, ap pealed from a decision of the late Judge Bond, in the circuit court for the western district of Virginia, Justice Shiras for the court today laid down one branch of the juris diction. At the suit of the Central Trust Company temporary receivers were appointed in the West Vir ginia court for the Virginia, Ten nessee and Carolina Steel and Iron Company, a corporation of New Jersey, the company consenting to the proceeding. Afterwards Mo- George, claiming to be a stockhol der of the company asked to have the proceeding eet aside on several grounds, one of which was neither corporation was a resident of the State within which the proceedings were brought. Upon this latter ground Judge Bond vacated hia order appointing receivers in the first instance and dismissed the bill Justice Sairas said the court below adverred for the reaeon that the question of residence as covered by tae acst of 1888, was a personal priv ilege that might be waived, which had been done in this case. The judgment of the circuit court dis missing the bill was therefore re voked and the ea e remanded for further proceedings in pursuance of the opinion delivered. Involved in this case also were receiverships of the South Atlantic and Onio Bail road and for the Bristol Land Com pany.

A L’GKT ArrKND.VNOK THK FIRST DAY AKTKK ITiIK HOLIDAYS* A rhort Session of tbe Senate Taken Up With Minor Matters -Mr. Boutelle At tempts to tiring up Ills Hawaii Be o lutloa In tbe House.-Hardly a Otio rum fieseut. By Southern Associated Press. Washington, Jan. 3,—Senate The Christmas recess having come to a dose, the real practical busi n; as of Congress began today. The Os casion was referred to in appro p iate language io the chaplain’s o, ening prayer in the Senate. The at -endanoe cf Senators wa3 far from b ing full--the most, conspicuous absence being on the Republican si le of the chamber Nearly half of the Democratic Senators were present. The first business done was the swearing in cf Mr. Hunt-on, Senator-elect from the State of Vir ginia, to fill the uhexpired term of the late Senator Barbour, Mr. Hun ton’s service hitherto being under appointment by the Governor. AmoDg the petitions presented and referred wore several in favor of a uniform tariff rate of 35 per cent on imported loaf tobacco ; also si me remonstrances against the passage of the Wilson tariff bill. Mr. Frye, of Maine, offered a res olution declai iug that, in the opinion of the Senate, during the investiga tion of the committee on foreign re lations into our relations with Ha waii there should be no interference on the part of the United States government by moral itfijence or physical force for the restoration of Queen Liliuokalani or for the main tenance of the provisional govern ment of the Hawaiian Islands; and that our naval force should be used on the islands only for the protec tion of the lives and property of American citizens. He a-ked that the resolution lie on the table for the present, and said that he would l y and by move to refer it to the committee on foreign relations. After the passage of a private re lief bill the Senate, at 12:45, pro needed to the consideration of ex ecutive business. At 1:20 the doors were reopened and the Senate at once adjourned until tomorrow. HOUSE Tne anticipation that the tar.ff bill was to come up in the House to day had the effect to draw a larger attendance on the fi ior than was expected. There was the usual full attendanca in the galleries. The proceedings opened tamely enough. The call of tae committee for reports was unproductive of any matter of interest und when it was concluded, Mr. McCreary, of Ken tucky, chairman of the commi tee on Foreign Affairs offered a resolu tion setting atila Friday and Sat urday next for tbe consideration of tbe Hawaiian matter. Mr Hitt, the leader of the minor ity on the Foreign Affairs committee said that all the Republicans wished was simply to have Borne definite time set apart for the consideration of the matter without any possibility of further delay, and he agreed to the suggestion of Mr. McCreary. Pending action Mr. Boutelle tried to call up for consideration the Hawaiian retolutiou introduced by him some time ago, suggesting that the privilege of the House has been infringed by the executive. The resolution had been refered to the committee on foreign affairs, which reported a substitute in lieu of it and reoommendedthat the substitute do pass and that theresolution offere ed by Mr. Boutelle should lie on the table. The House was soon in one of the turmoils which were of such fre quent occurrence prior to the X nas nolidays, Mr Boutelle endeavoring to secure immediate consideration of his resolution. The point was made that having been referred to a committee it could not be called up except by a member cf the com mittee. The speaker ruled, how ever, that this being a question of privilege it could, like a contested election caae, be called up by any member unless objection were made to its consideration. Mr. McMiilin objected on the ground that by spe cial order today was to be given to the tariff bill and Mr. McCreary ad ded that the Hawaiian matter could wait until Friday and Saturday. Tbs question wae then put a3 to whether or not the Boutelle resolu tion should be considered today and the House dividod on party lines, the vote resulting yeas 57, nays 126. Mr. Boutelle theu called for the tellers, but pending this Mr Me dreary demanded the yeaß and nays. That many of the members have uot yet returned to the city was made manifest by Mr. Boutelle’s successful effort to tie up the House on account of a lack of a voting quorum. On the call of the yeas and nays the D unocrats were able to muster only 135 members, and as the Republicans generally refrained from voting, the Uouso was about i forty short of a quorum. Mr. Boutelle quickly made the point of no quorum and Mr. 11c i Milian inovbd a call of the Housie ; 208 members responded and Mr. McMiilin then presented a resolu tion revoking all leaves of absence i and calling on the Sergeant-at-arma r to notify all bbaent members by tel egraph that important business de- RALEIGH, N. C, THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 4, 1894 maided their presence in tne House. Mr Boutelle called for a division on tba adoption of the resolution, which resulted: ayes 119; nays 28 Mr. Boutelle then demanded the tellers, aud 89 in the pffirmauveand 4in the negative passed between the tellers, Messrs. McMiilin and Boutelle; and the latter then called for the yeas and nay a There were ordered and the resolution offered by Mr. McMiilin was agreed to by a vite of 145 yeas and one nay Tbe Speaker laid b> f re the House the resignations of lUpreseutaMves Fellows and Fitch, of New York. Mr. Robert Adams, who was recent ly elected to fill the vacancy in the second district of Pennsylvania, caused by the death of Mr O Neill, was sworn in by the Speaker, after which he was introduced to some of the members and held a little re ception. It was clearly apparent a 'er the last vote that the Democrats could not secure a voting quorun*. - dthe House at 2 o’clock, on motion of Mr Wilson, of West Virginia, ad journed till tomorrow. Mystery . t A. H. Howland’s Death Springfield Republican. George A Ellis of this city receiv ed ft telegram Saturday that his brother in-law and former partner Arthur H. H -wlaud, had been lost overboard from the Fall River steamer Pilgrim Friday night white on bis way to New York, there is a mystery about his disappearance, some believing he commit ed sui cide, while others think that he was attacked with vertigo and fell over board. A part of his clothing was left in his state-room which was out side, and opened almost directly on deck He had suffered from dizzy turns lately, and the family think that when attacked he may have sought relief in the fresh air and air and fallen overboard At any rate there seems to be no reason for suicide unless he became suddenly insane. Letters were recently rece ved in this city from Mr Howland, and Friday he wrote G. A Ellis «bat he was about to start for New York on a business trip His wife was ill with bronchitis, but he felt that she was improving, and he was fa ex spirits when he bade the family good-by. The ticket was bought in Boston, and at Fall River Mr. Howland went directly o his state-room in the upper deck. He was uot seen again, and when miss e 1 in the morning a thorough search was made without success. The captain of the vessel thicks it would have been impossible for Mr. H »w land to fall over the rail, which is •three feet high, unless he had inten ded to do SO. Against the theory of suicide is the fact that * » left clothing sufficient for ideutitt saiion but no word to his friends. A man who deliberately planned to jump off the boat wou'd naturally want to disappear entirely so no trace would be left to explain the method of his departure, or he would have left some message. Mitchell Signs the Amended Agreement By Southern Associated Pre*«. Jacksonville, Fla , Jan 3, —Chas. Mitchell signed the amended arti eles of agreement today under pres sure from the officials of the Duval Athletic Ciub and thus relieves him self from being a “rank quitter." L'he amended articles now provide that the fight shall take place in Duval or St John’s county, the lat ter being the county in which M tchell’s training quirters are lo cated. Mitchell also insisted on a ouange in the clause regarding the furnishing of the gloves for the fight* The original articles provided for fiv gloves to be furnished by Corbett. The Eng lishman insisted that the clause should be changed so as to read that the gloves Bbould be furnished by “Corbett or Mitchell ” “Bat” Materaon, the well-known Colorado sport was present. Mitchell said that his objiction to signiug the amended articles was not because he wanted to “erawfijh”, but was due to the fact that he was a for eigner and did not want to violate the law of the S ats. Sugar Dowu to A eats it Pound. By Southern Associated Press. Philadelphia., Jan. 3 — The recent declining tendency ia Bugar priots culminated yesterday in a out of 1 4 cf a cent a pound in granulated which brought the net pres below the lowest quotation on record. The price was fixed at 4c., less a rebate 3 16 and 2 per cent discount to cash buyers, so that the net cost to job bers was 3 740 per pound. The lowest previous price was 4c less the cash discount in the fall of 1891, shortly after the removal of the duties on raw sugars, and at the time of Spreckels competition with the local refiueries outside of the sugar trust At that time, however, there was no rebate, such as now allowed under the termi of the agreement, between refiner* aui the wholesale grocers, and the current price is, therefore, the 1 cweßt ever touched on rtfi '«d nnear Lieut.

TIMING ON TUB LIGHT. ril»C HAWAIIAN INVESTIGATION STILL IN PROHRKNS. Prof. Alexander, Surveyor General of tbe Hawaallan Islands Under the Provisional Government, Gives a Graphic Account of Events Leading Up to the Revolution By Southern Associated Press. Washington, Jan. 3 Prof. W. D. Alexander, Surveyor General of the Hawaiian Inlands tinder the pro visional government, was before the sub-committee of the Ssnate com mittee on foreign relations today, and entertained the committee with a graphic description of the events of last January. He also gave an account o i the events leading up to the revolution, with which he is especially familiar He has for many years paat been identified with the piogressive party, on the islands, and is properly regarded as a member of the present govern ment It is needless to say that Mr Alexander defended the Dole administration, and argued that the only power which had brought this government into existence had been depended upon to furnish the islands with a just and efficient government He also showed that the revolution of 1893 had been the natural result cf long year’s of misrule and ignorance and contended that it would be contrary to the b9st interests of the island and to the teachings of the better civilization to restore the Q teen to the throne Senators Morgau, Gray and Frye were again tbe only mem bors of the committe present. The fict was developed during the hear ing today that Prof. Alexander had written a historical part of Mr Blount’s sto’y and had furnished him with the historical basis of his report Prof. Alexin ler’a com ments before tbe committee upon Mr. Blount’s use of these facts have not been given out, but this intima ted that they may Dot hate baen complimentary. The committee sat today while the Senate was then in session, and this practice will prob ably be continued for the present for the purpose of pushing forward the investigation as rapidly as possi ble. A Valuable Dollar. By Southern Associated Press. Philadelphia, Pa, Jan, 3.—The belief tnat only seven of the 1804 silver dollars were in excess has baen found to ba an error, for the eighth one has turned up Rosen thal Brothers, dealers in old iron, had a debtor in Virginia from whom they tried vainly for some time to col lect a bill of SSOO. Recent y tbe Vir ginian sent the firm one of the much-sought for 18U4 dollars. He sta:ed that he sent the coin in pay ment of his bill, and if the Rosen thals could sell it for more than the total of the account, they could keep the bilance In explanation of how he came into possession of the dollar the Virginian wrote that he had bought it for S3O from an old negro who was ignorant of its rarity and value, and in whese family it had been for a long time The Rosenthals took the dollar to the mint here and it was pronounced genuine. A coin collector has of fered them $350 for the dollar but they refused the offer as at an auction sale of o i is here one of the 1804 dollars sold for a thousand dollars Secretary Carlisle Hsiamu His Regu lar Schedule, By Southern Associated Press.

Mr Bruner gives some interesting information with reference to the pcs abilities of North Carolina’s kaolin deposits, and makes some suggestions which if promptly acted upon it may be found that North Carolina has a splendid resource which may be de veloped to great advantage. To Make Beet sugar. Count Liubensky, whose name rightly rouses suspicion that he is not exactly an American citizen, an nounces that he proposes to start in Omaha, Neb., an establishment, which is to cost $1,00,000, for the manufacture of beet sugar. There is to be a refinery in connection with the factory, and the operatives will be 290 families of Pales, who are expected in the country shortly. Che farmers of the neighborhood guarantee to raise 6 000 acres of beets for the factory to work up. The French Anarchist. By Cable. Pari 3, Jan. 3.—Some time must elapse before tbe practical value of the Government’s coup de tat against the anarchists everywhere in France on Sunday eight can bo accurately judged Already the people begin to suspect that it was more of a coup de theater than a ooup de tonnere The police, ia their raids, swept in tons of documents, most of which could I*3 bought by anybody at open sale, while among the many suspects arrested not a dc*dn are likely to ba identified as anarchists belonging to the dynamite groupe Another c rousmstanoe which will weaken the prestige belonging to Government action is that no im po tant diecovery of explosives have been made. -The police were notified and upon investigating found that the explo sives belonged to a man named Bras, wuo was an associate of Ravachol. The ht‘er occasionally used the name Bras es one of his many aliases. The ownership of the ex plosives found at Grenoble at the Colombier Iron Works, and at Oom mentry has not been traced to any one. Several of the men arrested are simply thieves with police records and none of the prisoners is a man of any prominence. The most nota ble of the men arrived and still de tained is editor Prolo, of the Action Effective. He is an orator who nas advocated the use of dyna mite but has never baen known to be concerned in any plot against the peace of the republic or the lives es its citizens. There is no evidence against ban now and he must sooa ba released. Marius Tournadre, a pronounced Anarchist, who was caught in the drag net thrown out by the police, wa3 detaiued in prison for a short time and then released. These facts are taken to indicate that the police raid was not productive of the results expected when the don ciliary visits began. It is announced today that Tournadere will stand as a candidate for Senator at Aurillae, department of Cauta. The Anarchists May be Sentenci <1 to Death, t By Cab!*. Barcelona, Jan. 3 —The anar chists Forgas Oodina, R poli Cere zuela, Bernard, Salvat, Archs, Fon tanale, Carbonell and Fruitos, were at noon today handed over to a military judge by the magistrate who has been conducting tbe ex aminatnn into the Lyceum theatre explosion. Tbe transfer was made upon the demand of the military authorities and it ia held to mean that the prisoners will be tried by court martial and that tl :y will get mure justics than law. The anarchists were greatly sur prised and alarmed when they learned that in stead of being tried by the civil courts they were to have to stand trial by a court mar tial Hitherto they have believed that a long term of petal servitude would be the worst punishment meted out to them, but now they fear what is extremely probable, that they will be condemned to be shot. The residents of the city are certain now that strict military jus tice will be expeditiously meted out to thuse men who have gloried in their crimes when they thougnt the civil authorities would deal with them. It is tbe general belief that the prisoners, some of whom have con fessed that they singly were re sponsible for crimes which it is al most certain they did not commit, the confessions having undoubtedly been made for the purpose of con furing the authorities au i delaying their trials, will now deny the truth of their confessions and seek by evary means in their power to show that they had nothiug to do with the crimes with which they are oharged.
