Roanoke, Va , Jan. 25.—William Rob ertson, white, was hanged to-day at Rocky Mount for the murder of Jere Barbour three years ago. Robertson and Barbour left Wardsboro together on the night of January 25, 1892 Barbour's body was found in the road next morn ing. His'pockets had been robbed of #lO and the money was found on Rob ertson's person. The murderer was eighteen years old when the crime was committed and Bar bour was 68 years of age. The prisoner was brought out by Sheriff 0. W. price at one o’clock, and the death sentence read. The prisoner was calm and collected. He admitted his guilt and said whiskey was the cause of his trouble and told all his friends good-bye. He s»t on the scaffold composed and sang. ••There is a fountain filled with blood." Prayer was offered by Rev. E. V. Carson, after which he sang “Jesus I Aver of my Soul.” The drop fell at 11:15 and he was pronounced dead at 13:07. MEXICO PREPARING FOR AVAR. Troop* Already on the Frontier and Ready to be Pushed to the Front. St. Louis. Mo., Jan. 25. A City of Mexico special to the Globe-Democrat says : The War Department in this cap j ital is all activity. The entire office for.es are working over hours and an unusual spirit of life and general ani mation is seen on every hand. The number of troops already on the frontier j is 18,000, and several brigades are in 1 readiness to be pushed to the front at a | day's notice. Throughout the republic the same activity is noted, and there is no doubt that Mexico could put 50,900 men on the Guatemalan frontier within | a week or ten days should occasion de ; maud. . The general health and equipment of the Mexman troops now in the South i are very good, and reports from the prob ; able seat of war are that the soldiers ! and officers are in high spirits and anx | ious to push forward at the command from headquarters. ; It was reported yesterday at Salina Cruisa, in the State of Oaxaca, that ar | rangements are being quickly made by i the Mexican authorities for the Guate malan invasion as soon as hostilities are declared. Mexico’s Plans. The theory is that the armed corvette S iragosa, the gun-boat Oaxaca and all the Mexican boats on the Pacific coast will be employed in landing troops at San Jose, Guatemala, or at some other convenient point. Immediately on land ing the forces will be pushed with all possihle speed across the country toward the capitol, which lies ouly about fifty miles from the coast, and where it is l naturally expected the hard fighting will j occur. I At the same time, the Mexican rural j forces will be ready to start for various : points on the border now occupied by Mexican troops aud cavalry, sweeping | through the country like a whirlwind. ! The rurales will aim to clear up things : as they go and will be ou hand and ready to co-operate with the sea forces by the time they have arrived before the : city of Guatemala. The artillery and other heavy guns well be sped by sea. The Guatemalans will probably do all in their power to prevent a lauding of the Mexican forces, but as there are several good landing places aloug the Guate malan coast, there will be no difficulty in eluding opposition should it be shown at the regular habor. The Guatemalan forces are all together too small to put up a good fight at more | than oue or two points, and so Mexico will have probably little trouble in gain : ing land. President Cleveland’s Message. City ok Mexico, Jan. 25.—A telegram j has been received at the Uni ted States legation here from Secre tary Gresham expressing President | Cleveland’s hope that Mexico and Guate mala wculd agree upon some favorable means of settling the boundary dispute between themselves, or failing in that, would agree upon a reference of the con troversy- to friendly arbitration. This message has been transmitted to Presi dent Diaz. POSTOFFICE ROBBERS CAUGHT. An Assistant Postmaster, Who Robbed His Office, and His “Pal’’ Nabbed. Wichita, Kan., Jan. 25.—WalterDon ! aldson, who robbed the Caldwell post office about six months ago while assist ant, was captured at Elk wood, Kan , at au early hour this morning. Donaldson's companion, both heavily armed, rode into town last night. Sheriff Speneer, of Barton county, immediately recognized Donaldsou. The men put up at the hotel, and about 1 a. m. to day, I Sheriff Speucer entered their room. Don aldson and his companion showed fight, ! and some shots were fired, but without serious results. The men were finally i clubbed into submission, aud are now in i irons awaiting the arrival of United States officers. Doualdsou got away with about #2,500. He was followed to New Or j leans aud back to Kansas, but always managed to elude his pursuers until ; now. —. -~ Oppositiou to FrauceN New Ministry. Paris, Jan. 25.—M. Rtbot has held consultations with Poiucaire, Lebon, Bar thou aud others and will probably lie successful in forming a cabinet. The opposition newspapers violently denounce the prospective Ribot ministry. LaFrance publishes au article on the sub ject under the caption “France Sold to Euglaud,” and LaPatrie heads its article “The English in Power.” In the course of the conference which followed lrs being summoued to the Pal • ace of the Ely see, M. Ribot requested that he be allowed time for consultation with friends before he decided to accept the task of forming a new miuistry. Nineteen Seamen Drowned. London, Jan. 25.—The British steam er Eseurial, from Cardiff for Fiume, has been wrecked off Port Reath. The ship went to pieces and only seven out of her crew of nineteen were saved.

Washington, D. C., Jan. 25.—The Senate Republican caucus to-day took uo action on any subject under dis cussion. Questions of finance aud rev enue were not even referred to. RALEIGH, N. C., SATURDAY. JANUARY 26. 1895. ILLICIT DISTILLING SPICY DISCI BSION IN THE HOUSE IN REGARD TO THIS NORTH CAROLINA INDUSTRY. SETTLE WANTS THE LAW CHANGED The Sundry Civil Appropriation Bill Finally Disposed of—lt Carries a Total Amount of $39,037,021 Five Thousand o( this is for Detecting and Bringing to Punishment Violators of the Internal Revenue Laws—-The Work of the Evening Se**ion. Washington, Jan 2 s. —Mr.Call(Rep.), Massachusetts, reported favorably from the Committee on Elections his bill to re fer contested Congressional elections to the United States courts for the districts in which the contests occur. Mr. Harrison, (Dem.), Alabama, re ported from the committee on Judiciary the recommendation of the committee on the memorial of the central labor union of Cleveland, Ohio, relating to certain clerk's fees collected by Judge Ricks, of the United States court for the northern district of Ohio. The report concludes with the state ment that the committee had adopted the following resolution: “Resolved , That while the committee is not satisfied that Judge Agustus B. Ricks has been guilty of any wrong com mitted while judge that will justify it of demanding a writ of impeachment, the committee cannot too strougly censure the practice by which J udge flicks made up his accounts, with the recommendation that, the same be adopted by the House of Representatives.” Sundry Civil Bill. The sundry civil bill was then taken up and was finally disposed ot. The total amount carried by the bill as it passed was #39,037,021, a net increase of #49?,000 over the amount as reported. The bulk of the increase was due to the requirements of the new printing bill. Two important changes in legislation were made by the bill. One was to re store to the Secretary of the Treasury the discretion that formerly was vested in him to issue notes of such denominations as he may deem best, instead of being restricted to the re-issue of such denom inations as may lx: cancelled and retired. The other change was the abolition of gold certificates. Two amendments offered by Mr. Combs, of New York, were adopted. One provides that no more gold certificates shall be printed and that all such certificates hereafter received by the Treasurer shall be can celled. The other provides that after July Ist, 1895, gold certificates shall not be received for custom dues, nor counted as part ot the lawful reserve of any na tional bank. Settle Heard From. The motion by Mr. Settle, (Rep ) North Carolina, to strike out the para graph appointing #5,000 for detecting and bringing to punishment violators of the internal rev enue laws, was discussed at some length. Tate, (Dem.) Georgia, offered an amendment to strike out the clause permitting the use for the appli cation for permission and detection of such violations. Mr. Denison (Deni.), of Alabama, said that the maintenance and pay of reform ers as provided in the paragraph was an outrage upon the free institutions of our government and the liberties of its citi zens. It was a fact, he said, that wouldn’t lie denied that deputy marshals and internal revenue ollieials had con spired to secure fees under the law. He would vote, he said, to abolish the whole internal revenue system and come to direct taxation upon the people before he would vote for such a proposition. The provision in the bill was also an tagonized by Tate, Settle and Swa son, (Dem.), Virginia, the latter of whom of fered an amendment that no money be paid except to a regularly appointed of ficer of the government. Sayers closed the discussion in a ten minute speech that drew about him all the members on the floor. He asked why the government should not use every force within its power to enforce the laws for the collection of internal revenue. The provision attacked had been included in appropriation bills for many jtars. I'uere was no objection, he said to the provision for the collec tion of internal revenue. The Moon*hiue Industry. From such figures which he held iu his hand, Mr. Sayers said it was easy to see why the gentlemen from North Car olina, Georgia and other St ates, were op posed to the provision. Before the corn crop of last year was gathered 455 illicit distilleries had been received. Os these, 118 in North Carolina and 132 in Geor gia. These illicit distillers carried ou their business to the detriment of the revenue laws of the United States, and, hiding in the woods and hills of that country, murder the officers which the government sends out to prevent loss to its revenues. Why should not the gov ernment endeavor to secure the obser vance of its laws in Georgia aud North Carolina, the same as in other States “Any illicit distillers in Texas ?” gJSayers- ‘ There is none. The law is observed in that State. Moonshine whiskey Is made in these other States and shipped into Texas and we want to stop it.' 1 Several members: ‘‘lt goes, evidently, where there is the greatest demand for it.” (laughter.) Simpson, (Pop.,.Kansas, “Do I under stand the gentleman to say there are no illicit distilleries ill Texas?” Mr. Sayers “There are none in that State.” Mr. Simpson: “That must be because there are no hills there to hide behind." (laughter.) Mr. Sayers: “Well, Mr. Chairman, we dont carry it around in canes as they do in Kansas. (Laughter.) Texas does not pretend to be a prohibition State and then violate the law in every nook and corner." (Loud Laughter.) Later Mr. Sayers was interrupted by Mr. Swanson, who asked if it was not a fact that the abolishment of the fee sys tem had been recommended. Mr. Say ers replied that he did not know it, “And 1 am not willing to take the gen tleman's word for it as long as his elec tion to the House depends on the moon shine vote.” Tbe several amendments wore lost. At 3:05 p. m the House took a recess until 8 o'clock to consider private pen sion bills. The Evening Session. At the evening session of the House eleven bills to grant or increase pensions, or to remove charges of desertion from soldiers' records, were considered in committee of the whole, and at 10:30 the House adjourned, under the rule, until to-morrow. WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW. There Has Been uo Marked Improve* meat in the Movement of Products. New York, Jan. 25.—Bradstreet’s to morrow will say: Special telegraphic and mail advices from the most important distributing centers fail to reveal any marked improvement in the movement of merchandise and products, and the conclusion is forced that the general trade situation remains as previously characterized—by small vol ume, low prices, hand to mouth sales, and the outlook favorable to a very con servative trade for some time to come. Gains in demand have been noteworthy only at eastern woolen mills for men's wear fabrics, among Providence manufac turing jewelers, wholesale dealers in staples at Augusta, Memphis and Now Orleans and in the West and Northwest, at St. Louis, Kansas City, St. Paul ami Minneapolis, the improvement being rather by contrast with recent dulness than with the volume of trade ordinarily transacted at this season. An exception is in wool sales, which have increased sharply, though prices are no higher. Mills report unexpectedly heavy orders of men’s wear wooleDs for fall delivery. Transactions in prints and ginghams have been of fair proportions, the latter ha* tg.been stimulated by cut prices. None of the larger eastern cities re port a likelihood of demand to antici pate wants. On the contrary, all indi cations are for a continuance of orders for near by wants only. Boston reports a decrease in the quantity of commercial paper offering aud Providence small stocks of goods on hand. At Pittsburg unfavorable weather has checked trad ing again. Philadelphia textile mills are dissatisfied with the situation and the outlook, but Baltimore jobliers say trade is fairly satisfactory. At the South collections are slow in South Carolina, Georgia aud Virginia. More interest is manifested by patrons of Richmond jobbers and Charleston which respectively report fertilizers and naval stores more active. At Atlanta jobbers are awaiting results of February Ist settlement before seeking to extend trade. At almost all Southern centers general trade remains quiet and of very moderate volume. A TERRIBLE EXPLOSION. Six Dead amt Seven lujured are the Known Victims of the Calamity. Mendota, 111., Jam 25.—A terrible boiler explosion shook this city and the surrounding country for miles this evening Six dead and seven injured are the known victims of the calamity. The explosion was in the brewery of C. Henning and Sons. The names of the known dead are: Christian Sesfert. fireman; David Creveer, engineer; David Wells, fireman; Ad Burchiedt, William Kennedy, wheel borer of Chicago. Injured: Henry Peal, scalded and leg broken; Harry Bar more, Rising City, Nebraska, scalded; J. Ixive, arm broken; C. Reed, head bruised; H. Freeman, G. Parker and S. McLoud. The whole of the center of the large structure was wrecked aud the work of searching the debris for any more vic tims is hampered by the furious blizzard which is raging, flare is also danger to the searchers from a big smoke stack w hich is expected to fall any minute. The loss to the proprietors is #BO,OOO. Until the wreckage is cleared away no one can tell how many have lost their lives or been injured. Trial ol Deb* and His Associate*. Chicago, Jan. 25. —It was five o’clock ; this evening before a jury was secured for Debs and his associates. At the af ternoon session twelve talismen were per emptorily excused by the defense, the ma jority acknowledged a prejudice against the defendants Before adjourning court Judge Groaseup announced that j he would hear ouly odo attorney for j each side iu the opening of the case. General Black, district attorney, will : opeu for the government in the morning and either Judge Harper, of Terre Haute, | or Mr. Gregory, of this city, will speak j for the defense. Quigley Gets Fifteen Y'ears. New York, Jan. 25.— Edwin O. Quig ley, the bond swindler, has been sen- , tenced to fifteen years and six months imprisonment. Failure in Norfolk. Norfolk, Y T a., Jan. 25.— Hodges & ! White, wholesale dealers in hats and caps, have assigned, with liabilities up wards of #28,900. AS FAR APART AS EVER NO CHANGE FOR THE BETTER NOTICEABLE IN BROOK IA N STRIKE SITUATION. MORE LINEMEN JOIN THE STRIKERS The Company Claim* that the Back bone ol the Trouble i* Broken, lint the Strike Leader* Declare Their Rank* are Solid and Their Men De termined Many Disorder* During the Day and a Number ot Car* De stroyed and M ire* Cut. Brooklyn, N. Y.. Jan. 25 -No de cided change for the better was noticea ble in the trolley strike situation to day. The men and the companies are as far , apart as ever, and there seems to l*' no immediate prospect of either side weak ening. President Lewis, of the Brooklyn Heights Company, claimed to-day that a dozen of his old hands had applied to him for their old positions, and had been reinstated, and he expressed the opinion that this was the beginning of the end, as a general weak ening of the strike is probable now. More Linemen Strike. The strike leaders emphatically denied that any such break had occurred, de claring their ranks were just as solid now as when the trouble began The strike of the linemen was mate rially extended to-day as was evidenced by the difficulty with which the compa nies operated Hues on which wires had been cut. Wires were cut at Fulton and Saratoga Avenues on oue of the Brook lyn -’eights system. Although the c mpany was immedi ately given ample military and police pro tection no linemen have amnartd up to (> o’clock this evening and no attempt has been made to repair the line. As a conseqence, that road has been blocked all the afternoon aud at present it looks as if the blockage will hold untii morn ing. The crowd about the neighborhood was large, but orderly. A number of other wire cuttings were reported during the day on the different lines causing more or less trouble to toe companies, but this sort of warfare on the part of tbe strikers or their sympa thizers was not so extensive as that of yesterday The eastern district of Brooklyn, Ridgewood and Maspeth was the scene of various disorders to day. Oars were held and in several eases pistol shots were fired at policemen. Mob Attack aud Destroy Cars. In the eastern district a mob of abou 2,000 persons attacked seven stallel cars of the Flushing and Graham avenue line at Driggs and Manhattan avenues at 2:30 o’clock this afternoon. After drag ging off the motorraen and conductors, the mob wrecked the cars completely. The mob then moved ou to Bedford avenue, where it demolished six more ears belonging to the cross-town road. It also cut the trolley wire for four blocks. The police charged the mob, which moved on toward Green Point. At Nostrand and Park avenues more cars were stalled. An attack was at tempted on them. For nearly an hour the police plied their clubs continually. The mob refused at first to move, but after several charges moved off. There was no militia in that section of the city. Father O’Hare, of St. Anthony’s church, had assured Mayor Schieren that he would undertake to keep order in that part of the city. This after noon he was summoned to the scene of disorder to use his influence in quieting the mob. The mob, numbering several thousand, had surrounded a car aud was shouting for the mortorman to de sert. This he refused to do. Father O'Hare pushed his way through the crowd, and jumping on board the car, offered the mortorman a #lO bill in order to restore order. The mortorman took the money and departed. This act was received with cheers and order was grad ually obtained. A Priest Restores Order. Just at this moment Father O’llare received a message from Mayor Schieren ' in which the Mayor said if order was not maintained in Green Point he would be compelled to send the militia there. The priest read this message aloud and then appealed to his auditors to disperse. He j told them of his assurance to Mayor Schieren and he hoped that the people would assist him in keeping order. Shortly after, a mob at Bedford!avenue and tbe Bushwick creek bridge tore down the trolley wires and were about to ! attack a half dozen stalled cars when the police and a detachment of Troop A hove in sight. The green motormen had deserted the cars and a patrol wagon with others was brought from the car j stable. When they saw the great crowd they refused to alight from the wagon I and were taken back. The police and soldiers are guarding the cars. A Special Policeman Shot At. Special policeman Meehan, while j riding on a car on Manhattan Avenue, was shot at by some one in a crowd, j The bullet grazed the officer’s head. Prior to the shooting, the car had been stoned and every glass in it was shattered. Late this afternoon a car from New- ! town, containing forty non-union men was held up near Maspeth and a number of the men were induced to join the strikers. A detachment of the 7th Regiment J from Ridgewood, assisted by the police, captured a few of the non-union men aud took them to the Maspeth Station of j the Brooklyn Heights Company. The strikers claim that thirty men deserted, j joined them and were sent to their ’ homes re other cities. In Ridgewood a car was held up at i NUMBER 3. Gates and Hamburg avenues this after noon. The crowd tried to overthrow the car but were dispersed by details ot the militia. Two women in the ca* were badly frightened. No arrests were made. At the corner of Gates and Evergreen avenues this afternoon a motorman of the Green and Gates avenue line was struck with a stone thrown from tin j crowd and knocked doVa, He recovered shortly aud took his ear with severs windows broken, to the end of the jour ney. these were the chief disorder* of rht day aud occurred practically in th« suburbs of the city. In the e ; ty proper, outside the wire cuttings, the disorucro that occurred were mostly of a mile character. Humor* ol 1) vitamin. Rumors of dynamite were current to day. An alleged bomb was found t«u the trolley tracks at Fulton street am. Flatbush avenue. A man who failed t* give his name carried the bomb to thi First Precinct station-house. The sus picious looking thing was at once sent tv Superintendent of Police Campbell, who with some alarm, hurried it to the navy yard for the experts there to make ai examination. Examiner Elmer, of the ordnance department, turned the sup posed deadly explosive over to Gunner ! James Hayes and Lieutenant Commander. Hannis. The alleged bomb was one and a half inches thick and four inches in diameter | It was cylinder-shaped, weighed tw« pounds and had a metallic ease, cov ered with Japan black. A long cottoi ; fuse protruded from one end. The gun ner first tried to explode it by the use ol the “slow match” but failed. Then a fire was built and the alleged torpedo placed iu it. After half an hours? wait it refused to explode. Another fire was built and the cylinder saturated with oil. It was placed in thu second fire, this time for the purpose ot melting the caso aud thus explode any j destroying properties that may be inside At the end of another half of an hour no explosion took plaeo and the naval offi cers came to the conclusion that tht thing was a hoax. John Strong was hold in the Lee Ave nue court, Williamsburg, to-day, on a charge of carrying concealed weapons., j The police think he is a dangerous an archist. Arrested by A Special Officer. Special Officer Tammany found Strong at an early hour this morning acting in I a suspicious manner in the vicinity ot Grand Street and Driggs avenue. His answers to questions did not suit Tam many, who locked him up. When searched at the station, Tam many nearly fainted when he found that i his prisoner had small dynamite ; bombs and a large loaded re volver in his jtoeket. “I wanted, to make things pleasant for somebody,” said he, when asked what he intended to do with the bombs. They were placed in pails of water ir. the Bedford avenue station. Strong seemed unconcerned whea arrainged in court, and told Justice Goetting that he did not care what became of him. He s refused to say if he was concerned in the strike, either through sympathy or by j employment. The Board of Arbitration. Judge Gaynor said late to night thai his decision in regard to the form of writ to be issued will not be handed down until to-morrow morning. The Board of Arbitration and Media tion has returned from Albany in re sponse to the resolution adopted by tht Legislature, and will at once take hold of tho situation. The board has located itself at the Hotel St. George and will send subpoena* to Mayor Schieren and Presidents Wicki and Norton, the strike committee and all others who can give them informa tion about what is going on. The board will also attempt to bring the warring factions together. The heariug was be gun this evening. Troop* Under Marching Orders. A portion of the 7th Regiment is un der marching orders, and it is supposed that they are to bo moved to Green Point, Erie Basin and other danger points, in the morning. The cars were moved on several new lines, and, barring numerous accidents, the companies made a good showing to day. Bnt the end is not yet. The wires of the Ralph avenue line were cut at the junction of Fulton street at 8:30 p. in. The cutting was done ir. the presence of about 100 men and boys, who, showed that they approved of the proceedings Neither policeman nor soldier was in sight aud the wire cutters succeeded in their performance without the least apparent apprehension of ar rest.
