He Wauts the Conservative Democrats to Keep their Hands oft in the Fight For a Constitutional Convention— A General White Primary Ordered to he Held July 30th—Gov. Evans still Kelnse9 to Call a Special Session of the Legislature. Columbia, 8. C,, May 16. —An all night secret session of the Tillman-Irby Executive Committee, claiming to be the regular Democratic State organization, was held here to-night, having been called to meet the emergency caused by Judge Goff's decision against constitu tionality of the registration laws in the face of the coming election of delegates to the Constitutional Convention. There was a strong effort to induce Governor Evans to call an extra session of the Legislature to pass a new regis tration law but he refused, stating that if another were passed the courts would declare it unconstitutional also. Senator Tillman who was present de clared notwithstanding his bitter attack upon Judge Goff, that the condition in which his decision had left politics was the very best for his party and advocated a white primary to nominate delegates to the convention, saying that if the conservative Democrats, his white op ponents, would not come into it but make their fight in the general election, “there would be a blood and gutts cam paign and hell would break loose in Georgia." He said that if Judge Goff went any further in this matter he, for one, would advocate open rebellion This,’of course, waa not intended for publication and was not given out by the committee, bat the reporter overheard it. The end of it was that a general white primary was ordered to be held July 20th to nominate delegates to the Con stitutional Convention. The election will be held late in August. The conservatives regard this as a plan to whip in them and the revolting Tillmaniies who are making an effort to secure honest elections. They say there is nu race issue in the State but the Tillman party is trying to raise one in order to make it appear that a continu ance of election frauds Is necessary to secure white supremacy.

They engaged the energies of the Presbyterian league, an organization pledged to the reversal of the acts of preceding assem blies in the Briggs case. The Liberals and the weak-kneed con servatives met in caucus and discussed the most available man. I n this they could not agree, so when the votes were counted they were divided, 165 for Dr. Page, of Topeka, and 83 for Dr. Adams, of Minneapolis, showing a strength of Liberals nearly double that found in any assembly for the last five years.

Many mills at Fall River. New Bedford and Providence are sold ahead until next fall. London was reported to be buying cotton in Liverpool. One New York firm said: “There is not much dis position here to buy or to sell by outside operators. It is mainly a waiting market. A stimulant is required to help it decid edly. The bears, however, are not ag gressive.” The Bombay receipts for the week were 75,000 bales against 54,000 last year; afloat 9,900; shipments to Great Britain 6,000, against 1,000 last year; to the continent 31,000 against 20,000 last year.

To-Duy’s Features. Most of the news here was bullish. Liverpool was higher, with large spot sales, and reports from there stated that London was buying on speculative ac count. Liverpool and the continent were buying here. The South Carolina and North Carolina State reports were bull ish. A decided diminution is expected in the quantity to be brought into sight this week. The port receipts latterly have been pretty small. Manchester was better; wheat and stocks were ris ing. Wall street was buying cotton, so were the local shorts, and in fact every thing combined to give the cotton mar ket a stronger appearance to day. It is said that a prominent firm will deliver 25,000 bales on June contracts at the end of this month, but if they should do so, it is declared that the cot ton will be taken care of. A cool wave was predicted with possible frosts in North Carolina and Tennessee and this also had more or less effect. One of the most cheering factors in the days news, however, was the revival of business and renewed strength in Liverpool. JERMAN-MONTGOMERY THE MARRIAGE OF MR. B. S.

Duncan, of Spartanburg, and the Two Young People Left on the night Train tor the North. Special to the News and Observer. Concord, N. C., May 16. Concord has never had a more charm ing social event than that which took place here this evening in the marriage of Mr. B. Sidney Jerman, of Raleigh, to Miss Isabelle Montgomery, of this city. The ceremony was performed at the Central Methodist Church by Bishop Wallace W. Duncan, of Spartanburg, S. O. The church was tastefully decorated with flowers, and was packed with friends and relatives of the bride and groom in Concord as well as from Alabama, Charlotte, Raleigh, Ridgeway and other places. The marriage took place at 7 o’clock and was followed by a short reception in the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles G. Montgomery, of Con cord. The brides maids were simply gowned in white, carrying LaFranee roses, while the bride carried lilies of the valley. The music was furnished by Mrs. War ren Dupre, cousin of the groom, who rendered the wedding march on the Siano. Mrs. Dupre was accompanied by [r. R. L. Keertler on the flute, Mr. Bar row, cornet, and Q. E. Smith violin. The effect was unique and inspiriting. On the left of the centre aisle in front sat the relatives of the bride, the father, Dr. T. P. Jerman, of Ridgeway, and brother of the groom, Mr. T. Palmer Jerman, of Raleigh, sitting on the right. The ceremony was most impressively performed by Bishop Duncan, the bride being married with a plain gold ring, and being given away by her father. The ushers were Messrs. J. B. Mont gomery, O. G. Montgomery, Jr., A. M. Sinclair and F. L. Smith. The attendants were Mr. Omega H. Foster, of Raleigh, with Miss Virginia Sinclair, of Charlotte, and Mr. T. Pal mer Jerman with Miss Mary Montgomery, the best man being Dr. D. E. Everitt, of Raleigh. The bride’s costume was of white silk, tulle veil with orange blossoms and dia mond ornaments. The present of the groom to the bride was a gold watch inlaid with diamonds and chain set with pearls. The wedding gifts were many and very handsome. Among the prominent people present from a distance were: Bishop W. W. Duncan, Mrs. Warren Dupre, Master Wallace Duncan Dupre, of Spartanburg, 8. C.; Mrs. L. D. Childs, Columbia, S. O.; Mr. O. H. Foster and Dr. D. E. Everitt, of Raleigh; Mrs. T. H. Stropecker, Barium Springs; Miss Mary Morrison, Lincoln county; Miss Mary Springs Davidson, Rural Hill; Rev. and Mrs. G. A. Oglesby and family, of Selma; Mrs. W. H. Harris, Dr. and Mrs. Creasy, Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Davidson, Mrs. R. J. Brevard, Oapt. and Mrs. A. J. Beall, Miss 8. H. Davidson, Mr. E. L. B. Davison, Mr. M. 8. Elliott, Miss Mon trose Davidson, Miss Sophia Myers, Miss Nora Dowd, Miss Laura Hammond, Miss Adele Brenizer, Miss Maude Beall, Miss Virginia Sinclair, Mr. A. M. Sinclair, Mrs. E. C. Register, Herman Dowd, of Charlotte. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Mont gomery just across from the church was than filled with a merry company and the brilliant lights within were blithely felt even through the leafage of the rich lawn elms. After a most happy season of congratu lations the bride came down in her traveling costume and joining her hus band was driven to the station where the platform was crowded with a party glad with wedding laughter waiting for the 9:03 north bound express. As the train rushed up, the good-byes and good wishes came fast and the bride and groom were sped away on their honey-moon journey. Miss Montgomery is well known in Raleigh, where she made number less friends during a visit here last fall. She is one of the most bril liant, charming and accomplished young women of the State, and her pop ularity here was unbounded. Mr. Jerman is cashier of the Com mercial and Farmer’s National Bank of Raleigh, and is one of the staunchest of the young men of that city, both in his integrity and in his mental force. Coming to Ral eigh from Ridgeway, some sixteen years ago, he left a home of careful and cul tured rearing, aud went into business life, starting from the bottom of the banking profession. His abilities and character carried him forward surely to his pres ent intrenched position in the confidence and high esteem of that people. Os good judgment, modest bearing, a firm hold upon the details of his office, clean-cut in taee and motive as he is in habit of life, Raleigh finds in him an elemental force towards that which is upbuilding. Mr. and Mrs. Jerman will spend,their time in New York and other Northern cities and will on the sth of June be at home in the charming new residence just put in order by Mr. Jerman for his lovely young bride. PRICE FIVE CENTS. CRUSHED TO DEATH IN A MILL. Everybody in Tarboro Preparing for the 20th ol May. Special to the News aud Observer. Tarboro, N. 0., May 16. The cold wave that came suddenly upon us this week brought with it a slight frost in some sections of the coun try, but no damage was done. The cot ton is looking sickly and pale, and some of our farmers fear they will not have a good stand. Alonzo Smith, one of the hands in the Tarboro oil mills, was caught in the machinery Thursday morning about six o’clock, and so badly crushed that he died in a few hours. The mill had stopped a few moments for repairs, and Smith not hearing the signal to resume work, was caught m the machinery near where he was standing and was terribly muti lated, before his cries for help were heard. When found, the whole right side of his body, including liis face, was mashed to a jelly, and the blood was streaming from almost every vein. He lived a short time. A colored woman, who lived on the farm of Dr. J. W. Jones, in Conetoe, dropped dead yesterday morning. -She was in apparently good health a few hours before. The cause of her death was supposed to be apoplexy. Everything and here are preparing to go to Raleigh on the 20th of May. The guards will go. They are drilling every night. Captain Bryant tells me he expects to take fifty men with him. Tarboro will send Geo. Wil liams, one of the survivors of the Big Bethel fight. He always receives a hearty welcome on occasions like the 20th of May, and we hope he will be honored by the Raleigh committee. He is an enthusiastic Confederate, even yet.
