An Alarming Rumor Concerning bis Health, which Lacks Definiteness. Washington, D. C., June 14.—A re port is published here this evening that ex Senator Ransom, United States Minis ter to Mexico, is seriously ill at his home in North Carolina. Mr. Ransom has not been in good health for some time. His visit to the City of Mexico was injurious to bis health, and the rarifled atmosphere at that capital affected his heart so seri ously that his physician would not allow him to remain there. He obtained leave of absence and came home to re cuperate. There is considerable doubt as to his return to Mexico and it is al most certain that he will be compelled to relinquish the mission unless his health under goes material improvement, as i’ is not likely he can stand the climate of the City of Mexico in his present enfeebled state. His illness may prove only tem porary, however, and he may soon re cover his health, in which event he will undoubtedly return to bis diplomatic post. Negroes Denounce Both Democrats and Republican*. St. Louis, Mo., June 13.—1 n response to calls issued by colored politicians over 600 negroes assembled in Reed’s Hall last night, and listened to speeches denouncing both the Republican and Democratic parties for not giving their race more of the emoluments of office. At the dose of the meeting the fol lowing was unanimously declared to be the sense of the meeting: Resolved, That the interests of the colored men of St. Louis are with the American Protective Association, and that we will work for our political salva tion through that organization. WEST VIRGINIA FOR SILVER. So *ays Mr. Black, a Prominent Re publican who Advises his party to Face the fact—Assistant Secretary McAdoo Coming this Way—Mr.ll. 11. Bunn’s Law-partner. Special to the News and Observer. Washington, D. 0., June 14. “West Virginia can be held in the Re publican column, I think, provided the claims of silver are duly recognized by the Republican national convention,” said Col. G. M. Z. Black, a prominent citizen of Jefferson county, in that State, to a reporter of the Post at the Riggs. “I believe that fully 80 per cent, of the members of both the old parties in West Virginia are strong advocates of silver. If the Republicans want to keep our State in line they will do well to recog nize the existence of the preponderating sentiment, for if the Democrats put forth a free silver platform, as against ade claration for gold by their opponents, nothing can save the State from again falling nto the hands of the Democracy.” * * * To day’s Post says: Assistant Secre-, tary McAdoo, of the Navy, is making arrangement to visit in the Dolphin the coast State** having naval militia reserves. It is the intention of Mr. McAdoo to start with North Carolina, and go along up the coast, stopping at points where the naval reserves muster. The difficulty in making arrangements heretofore has been that the muster of the reserves has been at times widely distant, and unless there can be some arrangement by which the musters can occur in regu lar order the Assistant Secretary cannot visit them. Replies thus far received indicate that the musters will be ar ranged so as to meet the requirements of such a trip as Mr. McAdoo contemplates. * * * Mr. Jaquelin P. Taylor, of Henderson, N. C., was married yesterday at Wal dene, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. E. Wall to Miss Katharine Vail. Mr. J. H. Bridgers, of Henderson, accompanied the groom. The Washington papers write that it was one of the most bril liant of a series of brilliant home wed dings. * * * Hon. B H. Bunn has formed a part nership with Hon. J. A. D. Richards, late a member of Congress from Ohio, to practice law here. They will have an office in the Washington Loan and Trust Building. Mr. Bunn will be here only part of the time. w * ♦ I The appointment of Judge Emory F. Best, of the District of Columbia, to be Assistant Commissioner of the General Land Office is the most fitting appoint ment that could have been made. He is a Georgian by birth, and came to Wash ington to hold an important legal posi tion under the late Secretary Lamar. He knows all about land matters and is an able lawyer QUEEN ESTHER. Rendered by 150 Voices to an Audi ence Numbering a Thousand. Special to the News and Observer. Greensboro, N. C., June 14. Queen Esther, as presented by local talent here last night, was a gorgeous success, both from an artistic and finan cial stand point. About one hundred and fifty voices took part. The solos were well rendered in every instance. Miss Mabel Hill, as Queen was superb, and never before has her rich, sweet voice shown off to better advant age than last night. Misses Lot nek, as the King, and McKenzie, as Hainan, both deserve special mention. Both were very happy in their solos. The march ing by the one hundred boys and girls was marvelous in its beauty of color and effect. Nearly one thousand people were present. The performance will be re peated to-night. News Notes From Tarboro. Special to the News and Observer. Tarboro, N, 0., June 14. Last night the new and handsome town auditorium was packed to enjoy the concert given by the Tarboro Female Academy, which concluded the exercises of the school closing. The program con sisted of vocal and instrumental music, violin solos, recitations and two little plays. All who took part, from the lit tle wee tots up to the older ones, knew their parts well. Not a single mistake was observed during the evening. Prof. D. G. Gillespie has a good school, and the exercises last night showed thorough traiuiug. I am told that the acreage in tobacco has increased to such a large extent around Tarboro this year, that three ware houses will be opened up here this fall for the sale of the weed. The Bank of Tarboro is a new enter prise recently started here, It is a pri vate corporation, with a paid in capital of $3q,000. Authorized capital $250,- 000. Juo. F. Shackelford is President, William Fountain, Vice President, Jas. G. Mehagau, Cashier, G. M. T. Foun tain, Attorney. They have a very neat and conveniently arranged bank build ing on Main street. They have a new and improved time set lock safe. His Honor, Judge Mclver, is holding court here this week for civil causes alone. The Judge is looking very well and says that he is slowly but gradually improving ail the time. The stand of cotton in this section is only fair, but it has improved very much within the last two or three weeks. The farmers say if they do not have a late fall the crop will be very short. The cotton factory and knitting fac tory are running on full time, and thiugs in general look to me, notwith standing the dull times, as if Tarboro was on the progressive march. RALEIGH. N. C.. SATURDAY. JUNE 15. 1895. A FALL RIVER HORROR EXPLOSION OF A FIFTY HORSE POWER ENGINE MAKES A M %Ss OF RUINS. SEVEN KILLED AND MORE INJURED Imprisoned in a Burning Bnilding— Friends Unable to Save the Shrieking Shop-girl*—Buildings lor a Halt Mile Shaken hy the Concussion, and the Boiler Torn Asunder—Lost $lO,- OOO—The Engineer Arrested--Ambu lances Ilurry to the Scene. Fall River, Mass., June 14.—A catas trophe which created the greatest ex citement in this city since the Granite mill fire, occurred this morning at the Langly Loom Harness Shop on County street, a three-story wooden building, owned by Henry I. LaDgley. A fifty horse power boiler exploded in the rear part of the basement, blowing out the sides of the building, knocking away the supports and allowing the upper floors to settle into a mass of ruins. Fire started in the ruins and began to burn briskly. The firemen made heroic efforts to rescue the imprisoned work people, of whom there were seventeen. Shrieks from the girls in the ruins were mingled with the agonized cries of their friends, who had hurried to the scene when the first news of the catastrophe spread. Ambulance calls were sent out hurriedly and every per son who could be reached was sent at once to the scene. The offices and the houses in the vicinity were turned into temporary hospitals. At 9 o'clock the badly charred and scarcely recognizable body of a woman was hauled from the ruins. The fire had then been quench ed, but it was still smouldering and the work ot rescuing could go on only with difficulty. Up to noon the work of search aDd rescue was carried on amid great excitement and at that hour it was found that four persons had been killed, three more were missing, and four had been seriously injured. The killed: Lelia Horton, aged 17; AdeleDube, aged 18; Robert Murray, aged 21, and Adolph Bellefeuille, aged 30. Missing: Angelina McCoy, August Senecal and Philip Smith. Injured : Thomas Bury, aged 15; Mat tie Desroches, Joseph Nuttal, Annie Hurst, Mary Partridge. Two were prob ably fatally injured, and, of the missing one*, little was known at noon. The first reports said thirty bad been killed, and it was not until the list was given out by the bookkeeper that anything definite could be determined. The explosion shook every building within a half mile. It wrecked the Staf ford mill windows on the east side and in less than three minutes every opera tive was out of the building. There is a great deal of wreckage among the mill machinery. Theforceof theexplosion was enough to send bricks through the whole width of the mill, from the east to the west sides. The boiler was torn apart in the middle, and the furnace part was blown into the building. The narrow escapes were numerous and marvellous. It is quite certain that seven deaths at least will result. Mr. Langley says the boiler was only 312 years old. Napo lean Lapage, the fireman and engineer, escaped without injury. There was plenty of water in the .boiler, he says. He has been arrested. The total peenni ary loss will be about $40,000 RAILROAD MOVEfIfKN IS. The Alliance Between the Southern Railway and the Atlantic Coast Line Permits the Southern to F*e the Port of Norfolk. New York, June 14 The Herald says this morning: The coming alliance be tween the Southern Railway and the Atlantic Coast Line is not in the nature of a consolidation, but merely a traffic arrangemeut. It will enable the South era company to use ihe port of Norfolk for export and connections by ste. m ships to New York and othi r North Atlantic Seaboard points. There was a report in circulation y*s terday that the Southern Railway Would absorb'the Louisville & Nashville sys tem. This was John H. Inman’s pro gramme just before the Baring panic. The friendly relations between J. Pier point Morgan and August Belmont, the dominant meu in the two properties, is probably the ground for the story. Messrs. Samuel Thomas and T. F. Ryan received to day official notice from the Southwestern Railway Company that it would accept the terms offered in the plan for the re-organization of the Cen tral Railroad and Banking Company of Georgia. The Augu-ta & Savannah Railway Company will have a meeting next week at which it is expected that a similar favorab'e action will be taken. Au Annex of 35,000 Square Feet. Atlanta, Ga., June 14. The execu tive committee of the Cotton States and International Exposition has ordered au annex of 85,000 square feet to the trans portation building in order to aceommo date the exhibits ot locomotives and trains. The transportation department promises to be one one of the best features of the exhibit. Mr. Wicks, vice-President and General Manager of the Pullman Palace Car Company, v isited Atlanta this week and perfected details for the exhibit of that company, which will consist of the finest train of ears ever built. Several of the great railroads will have similar exhibits and the locomotive works will have a fine display prepared especially for the occasion. TIIE PRINTERS ARE IV IT. The Rules hy \V hich the Printer* Were Pul in the Classified Service. Washington, D. C., June 14.—The government printing office rules assigned by the President provide for the group ing of the force into classes, on a basis of compensation. They provide for practical, competitive examinations, and for places for which examinations are not practicable, for the registration of applicants, and their appointment in the order of registration. Limitations of age are fixed at 21 to 45 for men, and 18 to 35 for women. No application may lie received for admission to one of the mechanical trades if the applicant has not served at least five years at the par ticular trade, one year of which must have been rendered as a journeyman. In other respects the requirements for examination are similar to those in other branches of the classified service, Civil Service Commissioner Proctor stated this morning that he had nothing to say in regard to the reports that the Pension Agencies were to lie brought into elassi fled service and his colleague commissioner Rice said the premature publication of official acts sometimes had a tendency to destroy plans in contemplation. There are now but tew braneh&s of the service not under civil service rules. Steps are be ing taken to include them all,and it is a safe preduction that the pension agencies 81 in number, employing ot er two hundred persons, the inter State commerce com mission and other bureaus will eventually be taken in. From other authority than Commis sioner Proctor, it is stated positively this afternoon that the United States Pension Agencies will be brought within the pro visions of the civil service law not later than July Ist. The order to this effect will probably be promulgated within the next few days. This charge is deemed necessary not only to prevent dismissals for partisan purposes, but also for the improvement of the service, inasmuch as the average inteliegentfc amoDg the clerks who have been appointed of late years is said to be much higher than those who secured places under the old met! od. CARLISLE’S THIRD SPEECH. The Secretary Calls it “This Free Sil ver Foolishness.” Cleveland Cheered For Three Minutes. Louisville, Kv., June 14. - Secretary John G. Carlisle delivered his third sound money speech in Kentucky to night h* a a immense audience in Music Hall. Mr. Carlisle was introduced by Hon. Charies R. Ixmg of the Demo cratic State Executive Com miteee. The Secretary’s address was mostly a repetition of his speeches at Covington and Bowling Green only that he directed his efforts mainly to the working classes, which composed the major portion of his audience. He made no reference to the attacks of Senator Blackburn and others. Some of his most enthusiastic hearers were Democratic can didates for office. Mr. Carlisle spoke mainly of how the United States could not alone maintain free coinage and made a most lucid explanation of the evils which he said would follow the free and unlimited coinage of silver. He cited the case of tt e trade dollar and its fall in value though it bore the dollar stamp of the mint, and said the standard dollar of to day would go the same way should a free coinage law lie enacted. He drew a graphic r rescript ion of the depression that would thus ensiK, and how the labor ing elafses who furnish the money to the banks would be affected. They now put sound dollars in the bank and expect to draw out the same kind, but under a free coinage law they would have to be contented with cheaper money and some would not get any of that in the panic that would ensue. He said there was not a bank in the country that could have withstood the two years’ siege that the Treasury had gone through, and that when the impartial history of this trying time w-as written, the administration of President Cleveland would bo fully vin dicated This brought the audience to its feet and the speaker was cheered for nearly three minutes. Mr. Carlisle said that an era of prosperity was now at hand and it would daily improve if the people would forsake “this free silver foolishness” and get down to busi ness. Confidence in the Arne i ;an monetary system abroad, which meant plenty of money for enterprises, would not come he said until the present silver agitation passed. After the speaking Secretary Carlisle was tendered a reception at the Watter soa Club, where he was warmly greeted by Democrats and Republicans. South Carolina Still at War. Columbia, 8. C., June 14.—The State’s special correspondent accompanying the Abbeville Rifles, ordered to the scene by Governor Evans to suppress a reported race riot, arrived at Mt. Carmel, a little town near Abbeville at three o’clock this morning. The sol diers made part of the journey on a special train and then took wagons for ten miles. The town was quiet when the troops arrived. The trouble had been caused hy the killing of a negro who resisted arrest, by two white men. This section being thickly settled with negroes, they became demonstrative, and made threats, but it is uot believed there was real dangerof aeonlliet. Upon arriving at Mt.Carmel,the sheriff, backed by the troops, arrested the following negroes, who took the most prominent part in instigating trouble: Harry Vin cent, Israel Bull, Arthur Tillman, Sim Dunlap, Burrell Johnson and Poldi Bull. A preliminary examination was had and they were bound over to court, and taken to jail at Abbeville court house this afternoon. BRIGHT FOR BUSINESS BOTH DUN AND BR %DSTEET SEND OUT ROSE-COLOREI) REVIEWS. 25 PER CENT ADVANCE IN IRON. The Crop Reports are Better, Labor Troubles Lessening and Wages In creasing—Gold Soon Expected to come This Way—Money Actively Held in the Interior W ith Diminished Drift to New York—Advances in Cotton Mill Stull*—Dry Goods Prospects Good for the Fall Trade. New York, June 14. —R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade to morrow will say: It is no longer a question whether business improves. Not for a long time have our reports from all parts of the country been so uniformily favorable. The daily average of bank clearings in June is 24.8 percent larger than last year, though 11.4 percent less than in 1892. The most potent influence has been the receipt of more favorable ad vices regarding growing crops. Even official statements helped, because altogether less gloomy than previous ru mors. Labor troubles are getting out of the way, wages in many establishments are rising, and with the iron industry just now leading, there is general improve ment in manufactures. Monetary con ditions also help. The time draws near when, with good crops, exports will briDg gold hither, and though foreign operations on stock and bonds have been insignificant this week, the effect of pre vious transactions has not been exhaust ed. Much diminished receipts of money from the interior indicate better employ ment in business, especially at the West, and the volume of commercial loans steadily rises, and is now fair for this season even in a good year. The official statement of 14.8 per cent decrease in cotton acreage was quickly found, in vi6W of the revised govern ment estimates for last year to mean more than 20,090,000 acres now growing cotton, which much exceeds the test un official estimates, and from an area no greater over 9,000,000 bales were pro duced in 1891, so that the report gave no aid to prophets of evil. That some reduction would be well for the South is clear, but the heavy present sur plus vi ill cover a larger loss than seems probable. The price has not changed, but transactions have become insignificant, though rainfall and tern perature are closely watched. Manu facturers abroad, according to Ellison, have stocks 289,000 bales greater than a year ago, and commercial stocks of American in sight still 3,200,208 bales. Cotton mills are doing well for the season, and numerous advances of an eighth to a quarter in brown sheetings, drills, bleached muslins, denins aud ticks aro still reported. The output of pig iron June Ist, was but atrifle larger than May Ist, 157,224 tons against 156,554 a month ago and 174 , 029 two years ago. Stocks unsold were reduced in May 96,597 tons, by stoppage of many Mahoning, ShenaDgo,. Illinois and Virginia furnaces, which afterwards resumed. The advance in spring con tinues, Bessemer j ig reaching $12.40 and Grey forge $10.65 at Pittsburg and changes in all iron products show an advance of 3.7 per cent, this month and 13.3 per cent, from the lowest point in February. For this con servative industry the rise at 25 per cent, in Bessemer iron seems large, but it compares with 35 per cent, in cotton, 53 per cent, in wheat, 69 to 70 per cent, in leather, 80 per cent, in refined oil and over 100 per cent, in hides. All these products were at the lowest prices ever known, and remarkable gains were to be expected when any came, but with each, consumption has yet to justify advances. The coke producers about Connellsville have not yet made open declaration of their new compact, but contracts are being made at $1.85 for the last half of the year with provisions for advance of wages rise. Failures for the past week have been 241 in the United States against 232 last year and 24 in Canada against 40 last year. Btadjitieefs Review. New York, June 14.- - The recent check to the activity in general trade, taking the country as a whole, which followed the severe and unusual frosts of the close of May, has begun to register itself in relatively fewei upward spurts of prices for staples and moderately smaller lots of bank clearings. The cereal crop scares which followed the frosts fright ened foreigners out of Wall Street for the moment, and since then the speeu lative exchanges and leading commer cial houses have been busy trying to determine future values on the basis of present conditions. The exception to the halt is found in the remarkable ex hibition of strength by iron aud steel. Cotton, leather, wheat, railway and other securities have each presented a season of active demand and advancing prices, but none of them has outdone iron and steel, which, without special orders from railroad and other large con sumers, have again advanced all along the line. The industry is undoubtedly in a better position to day than for years. There have been few changes in the trade situation at the South, but these are in the direction of improved demand, principally in dry-goods, shoes, hats and other seasonable goods, with the prospect for a good fall trade, should the crop prospects remain as at present. Gains iu the volume of business are re ported from Charleston, Nashville, Jack sonville and Galveston. PRICE FIVE CENTS. BASEBALL YESTERDAY. Brooklyn 12, St. Louis 7. Brooklyn, N.

All the other cabinet officers were present. The ses sion was not unnsually protracted, and, it is understood, was chiefly devoted to closing up routine details prior to the summer recess. An impression prevails that this will be the last cabinet coun cil before the President departs for Gray Gables. The Directors of the Southern Meet. New York, June 14.—The directors of the Southern Railway met today and ap proved the accounts of the Richmond Terminal re-organization committee up to April 5, 1895, and extended the time for further accounting to December 18, 1895. President Spencer explained to the directors his plans for securing an entrance into Norfolk.
