FIRE AT LOUSBI RG.
One Large Store Destroyed aud Others
Damaged.
Special to the News and Observer.
Louisburg, N. C., June 15.
This morning at 5 o’clock it was dis
covered that the store occupied by W.
P. Neal Co., in the brick building on
Main street, opposite the Court House,
was on fire. The alarm was at once
turned in and the citizens of the town
responded promptly and, by most heroic
work prevented the spread of the confla
gration to the adjoining buildings. As
the fire had originated between the ceil
ing and roof, and was already well
advanced when discovered, all efforts to
save the store were in vain. The entire
stock, however, with the exception of
some heavy groceries on the second
floor was saved. The stock of goods in
all the neighboring stores was also
taken out and placed in the court house
square until the flames had been extin
guished.
Louisburg has no fire company, and,as
the flames could only be fought with
backets and ladders, it is considered lit
tle short of a miracle that the
adjoiuing buildings were not burned.
The ' colored j>eople worked most
heroically, and but for their help the
whole block would probably have been
destroyed. It was, also, a most unusual
sight to ’ee a number of ladies bringing
bucket after bucket of water from the
neighboring pumps and wells to aid in
fighting the flames.
The fire is supposed to have been
caused by rats gnawing matches which
they had carried into the garret. There
had been no fire in the building for sev
eral days.
Following is the list of losses and in
surance :
The building owned by Vaughan and
Barnes, Norfolk, Ya., entire loss, in
sured for |1,500 in the Continental and

Lockhart Strikes the Nail.
Special to the News and Observer.
Washington, D. C., June 15.
Hon. Jas. A. Lockhart, who was here
last week looking after his interest in
the contested election case talked good
sense to a Post reporter, saying:
“Personally I favor the free and un
limited coinage of silver, but it occurs
to me that the issue is one that can be
solved in a spirit of moderation and
without the disruption of party ties.
Too many gold men are fond of assert
ing that the silver people are fools, and
too many of the latter are inclined to
call the gold advocates knaves. I think
the question of enough dignity to ad
mit of settlement on the higher plane of
reason and argument. So far as North
Carolina is concerned, our people are
largely in favor of free coinage at the
present ratio, and they do not see why
the United States should hesitate to take
the initiative, since everybody can see
that the European countries will do noth
ing to rehabilitate the metal.’’

ALUMNI HALL.
A (.rand memorial ol the University
Centennial—An Appeal to the Uni
versity Alumni and Friends of
Higher Edncation.
Special to the News and Observer
Chauel Hill, N. C., June 15.
At the Alumni banquet during the. re
cent celebration of the Universal Cen
tennial, it was resolved by the alumni
present to erect on the campus a splen
did building of handsome and imposing
architecture, to mark the ending of the
first century of the University’s life, and
to stand as a perpetual memorial of the
gratitude and affection of her sons.
This building will not only serve as a
stately memorial, but will also supply a
genuine and pressing need of the Uni
versity. The basement and first floor of
the building will be occupied by the
lecture rooms, laboratories and store
rooms of the Department of Physics and
Electrical Engineering, and also by the
University Administrative offices, to wit,
the President’s, Registrars and Bursar’s.
The second and third floors will be
equipped for recitation and lecture
rooms for all the departments of the
University, and will be constructed, ar
ranged and furnished after the very
best models thus concentrating in one
building all the teaching of the Univer
sity, and devoting the other buildings
exclusively to dormitory purposes.
The plan of mixing in the same build
ing rooms for instruction and for stu
dent occupancy has been abandoned by
all progressive institutions as being in
convenient and disagreeable to both
teachers and students.
The construction of Alumni Hall will
practically add anew- dormitory building
to the University equipment, for, by
withdrawing the lecture and recitation
rooms from the present buildings enough
space will be gained to furnish dormi
tories for eighty additional students.
This increase of dormitory accommoda
tions is greatly needed for already nearly
one hundred students are forced to find
rooms in the village. In the construc
tion of Alumni hall the rooms on the
second and third floors will be arranged
with the purpose of converting them at
each commencement into sleeping rooms
for the Alumni, thus making Alumni
Hall an Alumui Home. On the walls of
the public reception rooms will be in
scribtd on tablets of bronze the names
of the donors of the fund for the erec
tion of the hall.
The following subscriptions have al
ready been made:

These subscriptions were made on the
basis of promises by the Alumni present
at the banquet. It is hoped and expect
ed that further contributions by corre
spondence and otherwise will secure
from each class a subscription of at least
SI,OOO, insuring a total sum of not less
than $50,000.
The un ersigned were appointed by
the Alumni Association to raise the
money and erect the building It
is their purpose as soon as $30,-
000 is subscribed to secure
from the leading architects in New
York, Philadelphia and Chicago designs
for the hall, offering at least SSOO for
the best plans submitted. The granite
quarries of Mt. Airy and the quarries of
brown and gray sandstone near the Uni
versity will furnish handsome and cheap
building materials. As soon as enough
subscriptions are made to justify the
committee in awarding the contract for
the erection of the building, they will
call for payment of the first installment
of each subscription. This will probably
occur in about six months from this
date. All subscriptions will be paid to
the Hon. R. H. Battle, Treasurer of the
University, N. C.
Alumni of the University and friends
of higher education everywhere are cor
dially and earnestly invited to co-operate
in this movement for the expansion of
the University.

WAR AND PESTILENCE.
Cntters to Be Placed Along the Coast
to Griurd Against Filibustering and
Fever.
Washington, June 15.—The Treasury
Department has decided to strengthen
the revenue cutter patrol along the coast
from Charleston to Mobile by ordering
the cutters Morrill, McLane and Forward
to patrol those waters.
The reason assigned for this movement
is that it is necessary to keep a closer
lookout for vessels coming from Cuba
which might bring yellow fever. At the
same time the revenue cutters will co
operate with the United States steam
ship Raleigh in preventing filibustering
expeditions from leaving the United
States for Cuba.
In connection with the assignment of
these revenue cutters to patrol duty,
Surgeon General Wyman addressed a
letter to Secretary Carlisle calling at
tention to the danger of the introduction
ot yellow fever into Florida by means of
smuggling fishing smacks arriving from
Cuba. He urged that three revenue
cutters be detailed to inspect all
such vessels, and also asked for four ai
ditional sanitary inspectors, to be sta
tioned at the points most frequented by
these smugglers, the vessels not attempt
ing to make entry in compliance with
our shipping laws.

expiring by limitation July 31, 1896.
Among those present were Samuel
Spencer, of this city, President of the
Southern Railway; Sol Haas, of Wash
ington, President Spencer’s assistant; H.
M. Comer, of Savannah, receiver of the
Central Railroad of Georgia; Thomas K.
Scott, of Augusta, General Manager of

THE NAVAL INSPECTION TOUR.
Assistant Secretary McAdoo Will
Leave Washington To-Day and come
Down This Way.
Washington, D. C., June 15.—Assis
tant Secretary McAdoo expects to leave
Washington to-morrow on an inspection
tour. It is Mr. McAdoo’s intention, if
the arrangements can be completed, to
visit the Naval Militia along the coast in
all of those States where the same are
well organized As at present each
State selects its own time for their an
nual drills, and these outings are irregu
lar as to time, the only way they can be
inspected on one trip is to go to the
headquarters of the organizations them
selves. It is naturally stimulating to
the organizations to have their head
quarters visited by a national ship, and
feel that they have the distinct personal
interest in the heads of the navy depart
ment. The visit, therefore, is product
ive of more good if made on a dispatch
boat than Jo go by inland ways.
As to the length of the cruise and the
time he will be away will be guided en
tirely by circumstances, but he will re
turn here at any rate in the early part
of J uly, and will remain at the Depart
ment from that time during the sum
mer and in the absence of Mr. Herbert.
The programme at present is to leave
here to* morrow, inspect the Naval Mi
litia at Baltimore on Monday afternoon,
and then possibly go from there to Wil
mington, x<. C., and thence to Philadel
phia, New York, Connecticut, Rhode
Island and Boston. Circumstances,
however, may cut this trip entirely short,
so that after the inspection at Baltir.ore
he may conclude to go with the Dolphin
on the New York and New London where
she lies during the summer months when
not otherwise in use, or, if time presses,
he may take the train at Norfolk and go
on to Wilmington, N. C., and returning,
resuming .3 trip by water to New York.
MONEY IS CIRCULATING.
Under Increased Confidence, the Bauk
Loans Touch High-Water Mark,
With Plenty of Cash Behind.
New York, June 15.—The New York
Financier says this week: With money
ruling at the lowest figures, the Asso
ciated Banks of this city reported Sat
urday, June 15th, the largest volume of
loans outstanding since the organization
of the clearing house. Only once—De
cember Bth, 1894—has the present
total been approached, and less than
a half dozen times has the five hun
dred million mark been reached. In the
face qf such a showing the current
statement cannot be regarded as unfa
vorable. The flow of money from the
interior, however, continues in a seem
ingly endless stream, and had it not
been for the unusually heavy changes in
the several items, the reserve must have
increased, rather than shown a decrease
of nearly two million dollars,
The loss of $4,514,500 in specie was
due solely to the transfer of $10,000,000
held by several government depositors
banks to the Treasury last week. This
gold had already figured as a treasury
balance and the present decrease indi
cates that it also figured as a bank bal
ance. It is interesting to note that the
loss reported by the entire list of clear
ing house banks coincides almost exactly
with the decrease reported by one bank
alone How a treasury balance can also
be figured as a bauk balance is some
what strange.
The increase es $2,819,200 in deposits
and $3,510,300 legals reflects the interior
movement, and the expansion of $4,487,-
900 in loans if not made up largely of
stock exchange transactions is an en
couraging sign of the revival in business.
One year ago the banks were carrying
a reserve of $76,376,575 and loans were
44,000,000 less. Twoyearssincethe banks
were issuing clearing house certificates
and while the abbreviated statement,
then issued weekly, showed an apparent
surplus reserve of $8,000,000 it is known
that many banks were then below the
limit required by law. Since then the
New York banks have practically ab
sorbed their heavy bond issues and still
have nearly $40,000,000 surplus money
to loan.

Two more errors in the ninth were re
sponsible for Chicago’s second run.
Maul pitched excellent ball, and with
better support would have shut out the
visitors. Hutchinson was very ineffec
tive during the latter part of the game.
Pitchers stocked, and Terry acted as
umpire owing to the absence of Mr.
Long. Weather warm and attendance

New York 2, Cincinnati 1(1.
New York, June 15.—Ten thousand
persons saw the New York’s play their
worst game of the season to day. They
piled up error after error and were dum
mies at the bat. Boswell’s pitching was
very amateurish. He gave twelve bases
on balls, had two wild pitches and field
ed his position very poorly. New York’s
only runs were scored in the sixth in
ning, when, with a man on base, Staf
ford hit for a home run. The visitors
played a superb game in the field, not an
error of any kind being charged against
them. The score:
New York, 00000200 o—2
Cincinnati, 31321042 x~l6
Batteries: Boswell and Wilson; Par
rott and Merritt.
Brooklyn 10, Louisville 8.
Brooklyn, N. Y m June 15.—With
better support, McDermott would have
won his game to day. The home players
were credited with several hits which
should have been easy outs. Lucid re
tired at the end of the sixth inning on
account of his neck being sore. Humbert,
who took his place, came near losing the
game. He gave three bases and was
touched up for a home run, two doubles
and three singles. Anderson made a
star catch of Welch’s line drive to deep
left. Attendance 3,000.

Baltimore, June 15.—The Champions
scored another shut out to day, the St.
Louis club being the victims this time.
Hoffer was more effective than Britens
tein. The home team bunched its hits
in the first two innings and earned three
runs; Cooley’s error let in another.
Dowd’s error was responsible for the
fifth run. Attendance 5,400.

Boston G, Cleveland 9.
Boston. Masa., June 15.—The Bos
tonls won to-day’s game with the Cleve
lands by superb fielding when Dolan was
under fire in the early part of the game
and by concerted work at the ball first
half. It looked like a walk over for
Boston, but Childs made a homo run hit
over the right field fence with two bases
full in the fifth, and from then on, it was
a hard struggle. Attendance 6,500.
