THE NATIONAL LE\«IJE OF RE
PUBLICAN CLUBSCOMPLETES
ITS WORK.
NOTHING SAID A3OUT SILVER.
The Money Question Was Not Even
Referred to in the Report ol the Com
mittee oa Resolutions--The Silver
Men Still Hope That the National
Convention Will Adopt a Plank Fa
vorable o the White Metal—None of
the Presidential Candidates Attend.
Cleveland, Ohio, Jane 21. —Thove
was nothing exciting about the last
hours of the eighth annual convention
of the National League of Republican
Clubs.
The resclvdous which have been public
property for orne time were adoped
without p.'v f 'ace by their iutroducer or
parley ou tho part of those for whose
considerations they were introduced.
No roll call was had oa their
adoption and a lusty chorus
of yeas against one or two nays
showed that it was almost the unani
mous sens* of the convention that it had
no power to proclaim its preference for
go id or silver* for protection or free trade,
or for any presidential candidate who is
pushing his chains for recognition before
the nominating convention of the party
to b ‘ held in 1896.
The most conservative party men who
cam? here think the innovation is a wise
one. The silver men are satisfied with
the outcome and decided before to-day’s
session begar, to make no outcry. They
we*’ 2 fully beard in committee and assert
that the result shows a sentiment in
favor of hi metallism that will spread
to the National Convention next
year be more radical ones hope for
free silv or, but all would be more than
pleased ith any sort of a plank which
favors the white metal, whether that
plank Cies their favorite ratio or not.
Once in the platform they believe the
double standard would rapidly gain in
favor.
There was no discordant voice in the
gathering which dissolved to day a little
after noon. Many sacrifices were made
for the sake of harmony, and it ap
peared to be the wish of the body that it
should go oa record before the world as
united on all points at issue whatever
differences might exist beneath the sur
face.
With the exception of the 16 to l men,
the speakers were very cautious in ex
pressing a decided preference on the cur
rency question.
None of the presidential candidates
came to the convention. Mr. McKmley
arrived to-night after everything was
over. He was met at the depot by
the leading Republican clubs of the
city and enthusiastically welcomed.
Most of the delegates had returned to
their homes, but those who remained
were introduced, shook hands and chat
ted a while with the famous Ohioan,
who held a reception in the corridors of
the Hollenden Hotel. Chauncey Depew
was expected up to the last moment, but
he excused himself on the ground of
other engagements. Thomas B. Reed
was invited, but declined, and Senator
Allison did the same. Maine was one of
the three States not officially represented
at the convention and the enemies of Mr.
Reed are pointing to this fact with much
glee. The other two States were New
Hampshire and North Carolina, which
were, however, unofficially represented.
With General McAlpin as president
and H. J. Dowling, of Minnesota, as sec
retary, the delegates feel that they have
elected officers with a view to the best
results in the work required next year.
No treasurer was chosen. His selection
will be left to the executive committee.
An excursion on the lake this after
noon ended the festivities provided by
the local committee for the delegates.
To-morrow the newspaper men will be
entertained on the water.
HORRIBLE DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
Murdered his Father-In-Law and
Then Committed Suicide.
Philmont, N. Y., June 21.—A hor
rible case of suicide and murder occurred
here at 10:15 o’clock this forenoon in
which Harry K.-ooz and George Jacobi
are the victims.
Krooz is the agent of the Harlem road
here, having filled the position for the
past 23 years. Jacobi is his father in
law and acts as the assistant agent.
Krooz was about 43 years of age, and
Jacobi 62 Krooz killed Jacobi by shoot
ing him twice in the back of the head
and then killed himself by firing a
bullet into his own head. The motive
for the crime is a mystery, as both were
on the friendliest terms. The shooting
occurred only a few moments before a
passenger train was due. The only per
son in the station besides the dead men
was a woman, waiting for the train.
When she heard the shots she gave the
alarm. Before anybody else reached
the station, the passenger train had ar
rived and the conductor and trainmen
found the dead men, both having died
instantly.
Krooz shot Jacobi in the back of the
head as the latter was seated at the desk
writing. Krooz had been discharged
and the relief agent was on the train
chat arrived shortly after the tragedy
occurred, to relieve him. There is said
to be no shortage in his accounts, but
that he had become careless in doing his
business. Krooz leaves a wife and four
children, one being a married daughter.
The other children are aged 18, 12 and 8
respectively.
NEW HOTEL NT KITTRELL
The Famous Davis House Beiny Re~
built--MH>or Person Married.
Special to the News and Obsever.
Kittrell, N. 0., June 21
The widely and favorably known
Davis House at this placß,« for over
twenty years patronized by the best class
of Northerners as a winder resort, and
which was burned two years ago, is now
being rebuilt.
Mrs. De Forest, a Northern lady of
means and expe ience in this line, has
bought the entire property and begun
the erection of a com forth ole and t hor -
oughly equipped hotel. No pains or ex
pense are to be spared to make it the
most comfortable and best appointed es
tablishment of the kind in the State.
The walls are lined with brick, excluding
cold in winter and heat in summer. The
very latest improvements in steam heat
ing will be introduced. The system of
water-works, closets, &c., will be per
fect.
It will be opened as both winter and
summer resort. The reputation and pop
ularity of Kittrell as a winter resort is
old, but her reputation as a summer re
sort is much older. It long antedates
the war.
In the early fifties and in the sixties,
and early seventies it was the Mecca of
the pleasure and health seekers, not
only of a large part of this, but also of
parts of adjoining States. Since 1874 it
has been conducted only as a winter re
sort and as such has enjoyed an ever
increasing reputation.
Mayor R. M. Person was yesterday
united in marriage to Mi.s3 Lessie Allen, a
talented young lady of Franklin county.

ships Took a Conspicuous Part in
the Great Naval Display.
Kiel, June 21. —Everybody was stir
ring at an early hour this morniDg, se
curing places of vantage to see the cer
emony of laying the keystone of the
canal at Holtenau. Dozens of steamers
went from Kiel to places near the lock,
amoug which was the press steamer,
which was allotted a good place. Invited
guests and those had who secured ticket
for the tribunes arrived between 10 and
10:30 o’clock.
Thousands flocked to Holtenau by
land and water. Never did the harbor
of Kiel present so animated an appear
ance. The warm sun from early morn
ing shone upon hundreds of gaily decor
ated vessels that were flitting from one
point of the bay to another.
The Kaiser went to Holtenau early on
board a steam launch. The ent ire high
way to Kiel to the mouth of the canal
has been beflagged. The country is re
markably beautiful. Trees line the road
for the greater part of the distance, and
here and there groves of beechwood,
affording cool shade, are passed. At
places where the country is open,glimpses
of the bay and distant sea are afforded.
Innumerable triumphal arches, bearing
mottoes and portraits of the Emperor,
had been erected and the villages and
hamlets on the short route showed a
profusion of flags and bunting.
Holtenau, which gives ii 3 name to the
new lock, is picturesquely situated four
or five miles from Kiel, and nearly a ruile
from the mouth cf the canal, where the
foundation stone was laid. The ar
rangements at the scene of the ceremony
were excellently devised.
The grandstands of vast proportions
had been erected for guests and ticket
holders. The eleven shouts of “Der
Kaiserkommt” arose. The emperor,
whose arrival was the signal of deafening
cheers, was in admiral’s uniform, and
walked to his place with martial bearing.
He acknowledged the enthusiastic greet
ings smilingly. His majesty, having
taken a standing position before the
dais, Chancellor Hohentohe asked the
Imperial assent to commence the pro
ceedings, and then read a document re
lating to the ceremony, after which the
Kaiser approached the stone, and re
ceiving a mallet from the British pleni
potentiary D. Bunsenrath, tapped the
stone thrice. The stone also received blows
from the Royal Princess present, from
the members of the Bundesrath, Minis
ters of State and a score of other State
officials.
The stone being laid, the Kaiser re
turned to his place at the dais.
At the conclusion of the ceremonies at
the Keystone, the Emperor went on
board the Hohenzollern, where he took
iuncheon. Salutes to his Majesty were
fired by several of the warships in the
bay.
It had been arranged in the course of
the preparation for the celebration that
the assembled warships should steam past
the Hohenzollern in review, but for some
unexplained reason, it was decided
later that the Emperor’s yacht should
merely steam through the lines of
the German and foreign fleets lying at
anchor. This was accordingly done, all
of the ships saluting the Hom-zolleru as
she passed. All of the ships were liter
ally covered with flags and in the br:ght
sunshine made a magnificent spectacle.
Miss Herbert, daughter ot the United
States Secretary of the Navy, with a
party of friends, was on board the
American cruiser, New York.
The Emperor in laying the keystone of
the canal said: “In memory of Emperor
William, the Great, I christen this canal
the Kaiser Wilhelm canal.”
His Majesty then tapped the stone
thrice, continuing: “I, in the name of
God, in honor of the Emrx ror William
I, for the weal of Germany and the wel
fare of nations.”
The weather was brilliant and the
spectators were numbered by thousands.
HR* FORTUNE IS A MYTH.
Col. Cochron Could Not File the Bond
and the Case Was Dismissed.
Asheville, N. 0.. June 21.—-A sensa
tional story recently sent out from San
Francisco by the Chicago Associated
Press slating that Col. A. R Cochron,
of Sau Diego, Cal , was to come into
possession of an immense fortune
through a North Carolina land grant.
The facts are simply these :
Col. Cochron instituted suit in the
United States Court at Asheville, in
1893, for lands in Watauga and Mitchell
counties, based on some supposed land
grant. At the Novembei '94 term of
court Gen. T. F Davidson, counsel for
Cochron, stated that his client had been
unable to file the bonds required to pros
ecute the case, and it was accordingly
dismissed.

arriv 1 in this e.iy Ins! night with eigl.f
United Stai.es prisoners and left this
afternoon sci Albany He was accorn
p-irsied by deputies E Vs. Goolsby, J. B.
Vmfield aid Edgar Aldson. Among
the prisoners was James R. Holland, the
defaulting Cashier of tin Charlotte Na
tional Bank, who -.as sent creed to seven
;ears imprisonment. He was treated
with more respect than other prisoners,
and had the appearance more of a com
panion than a prisoner. He was no
handcuffed, and there was nothing to
show that he was a prisoner.
The party was met at the depo: by
Superintendent Byrnes and escorted to
the police station. The other prison l : .;
were Benjamin Fuller, of Swain, sen
tenced for fifteen months for illicit dis
tilling; W. H. Buncombe, fifteen months
for forgery; Elijah Holdsclaw, Noah
McAlpire, and J. S, Kelley, sentenced
from Statesville court for thirteen
months each, for illicit distilling; Henry
Jones, and Lou Smith, from Greensboro
for one year each, for counterfeiting.
Mr. Sam’l Lane, formerly of Golds

HOWGATE FOUND GUILTY.
He May Have to Go to the Penile a-
Gary lor Twenty Years.
Washington, June 21.—The jury a
the Howgate case brought in a verd ot
at 1:85 p. m. to day of guilty ou each
indictment. One indicement charged
Howgate with forgery and the other
with falsification of his official accounts.
Captain Howgate was in court accom
panied by his daughter and listened to
the polling of the jury without any evi
dence of emotion. There was no scene
of any kind. The attorneys for the de
fense at once moved for a new trie l .
No action was taken by the court.
The penalty for the offences of which
Capt. Howgate was convicted is confine
ment in the penitentiary from one to ten
years in each case, so that the pun
ishment in his case may be confinement
from two to twenty years. Accompanying
the verdict was a petition to the court
for clemency. It is hardly believed
that Judge MeComas will grant a new
trial, but the attempt will be made to
take the ease to a higher court on ap
*• During the preceding trial, which
resulted in acquittal, testimony was ad
mitted going to show that Capt. How
gate had been seen many times by those
who were supposed to be interested in
his apprehension, but in this case, the
court refused to admit testimony to refute
the charges that the prisoner was a fugi
tive from justice. Captain Howgate
spent last night in jail, he having given
himself up to the court officials as soon
as the case went to the jury. Just when
sentence will be passed upon him is not
known. The verdict was a surprise as
an acquittal had been conftdentally ex
pected.
BUYS A CHEAP RAILROAD.
The Southern Railway Assumes Con
trol of the Atlanta and Florida.
Atlanta, Ga., June 21.—The South
ern Railway has bought the Atlanta &
Florida railroad. The line is 104 miles
long and extends from Atlanta to Fort
Valley, in the heart of the peach section.
At the price paid about $275,000, the
Southern gets the road for about one
tenth of what it cost. The Southern
buys it from the Central Trust Company
of New York.
This deal nips several possible railway
extension schemes Jin the bud. It keeps
the Beaboard Air-Line out of Florida and
the Plant system out of Atlanta.
Samuel Spencer, President of the
Southern Railway, announces that his
company will build a handsome and
commodious union station in Atlanta,
fie invites all the other roads to co oper

TOO HIGH.

Outlook »s Exceptionally Favorable
—Crop Reports Have Been Highly
Encouraging—'The Cotton Crop Indi
cates a Yield of 75,000,000 Bales—
Prospects Bright for a Bountiful
Harvest in the Grain Growing States.
New York, Juno 21. — R. G. Dun’s re
port .ays:
Failures for the second week of June
show liabilities of only $3,092,382, of
which $702,357 were manufacturing and
$1,329,625 were trading, against $2,
917,535 in ail for the same week last
year, of which $688,137 were manufac
turing and $2,220,766 were trading.
Additions for the first week of June raise
the aggregate for two weeks, including
the cordage concern, to $14,321,841, of
which $i0,517,325 were manufacturing
and $3,684,116 were trading. Failures
for the week have .been 228, in the Uni
ted States, against 214 last year and 31
in Canada against 25 last year.
From all parts of the United States the
best advices obtainable tell of a rising
tide of trade and industry, which threat
ens here and there to mount too far and
too fast. The volume of all business is
by no means equal to that of 1892 as yet,
though in some important branches
larger than in that of any other. Daily
payments through clearing houses in
June are 269 per cent, larger than last
year, though 8.6 per cent, smaller than
in 1892, the last year of full business at
this season.
A rise of more than a quarter in a
single year is more significant because in
spite of recent advances, the prices of
commodities as a whole average a frac
tion of 1 per cent, lower than a year ago
Two influences of tremendous power con
tribute to the rise, encouraging crop
news and confident replenishing stocks
which have been for two years depleted
to the utmost. When business payments
have so long been 15,000 millions yearly
less than before, it is not strange that
the increase should be at the last of
11,000,000,000 a year when faith in the
future inspires general replenishment of
stocks.
Excepting too heavy rains in Texas,
crop reports this week have been highly
encouraging, future inquiry to cotton
cannot be predicted, but as yet nothing
indicates a yield below 7,500,000 bales,
which would not be supposed to threaten
famine if the commercial and mill stocks
were remembered, now exceeding by
2,500,000 bales a full consumption until
September Ist. Receipts continue small
and consumption close to the max
imum here and abroad, though
the marketing of British goods is not
entirely encouraging. Liberal purchases
of all products by the South do not in
dicate belief that any serious misfortune
impends. So the strong trade in the
grain growing States accords with
brighter crop prospects.
The rush for supplies in iron and steel
resembles a “Bear panic” in the stock
market. Because prices are mounting
everybody hurries to buy, so that they
mount higher.
Bessemer iron has reached $12.65 at
Pittsburg, the association has advanced
common to $1.15, the wire nail associa
tion puts up the price to $1.50 per keg,
the steel rail makers have raised the
price to $24, eastern and southern fur
naces have both raised prices again fifty
cents per ton, and structural beams are
$1.35, and angles $1.25. It is undenia
ble that works in operation are crowded
with orders and others which have
been idle for years are preparing to re
sume. At the same time the most potent
cause of the upward start in prices, is the
general belief that a combination of coke
producers would raise the price to $1.50
after July Ist, is apparently removed by
war among the producers, and a fall to
$1 25 in contracts for the last half of
1895.
Advances continue in cotton goods
and are sustained by unusual demand
and scarcity at a time when the mills
are generally auxious to clear off old
stocks Shipments of boots and shoes
for the week have been the largest ever
known in any week, 110,025 cases, ac
cording to the Shoe and Leather Reporter,
and for three weeks of June have been
11 per cent, larger than any previous
year. Many shops are stopping, though
must have orders to August or Septem

Hradstreet’s Review.
New York, June 21. — Bradstreet’s to
morrow will say : The feature of business
this xveek is the customary cheek to ac
tivity in trading in staple articles of
merchandise, due to the near approach
of mid-summer, with the accompanying
stock-taking in some lines; in addition
to this, perhaps the only other not point
ing to improvement is the reaction of
prices of cotton, coal, wheat, flour, corn,
oats, pork and lard from previous rela
tively high levels. In almost all other
directiono reports on the business situa
tion and outlook are exceptionally
favorable.
The New York stock market keeps its
strength in face of high exchange rates
and the absence of foreign interest.
Favorable crop prospects, especially in
in Southwestern territory, and the rise
in iron and steel prices, create a bullish
professional temper, under which real
izing sales have little effect. The return
of one of the bond syndicate leaders
PRICE FIVE CENTS.
from Europe is regarded as a bullish in
fluenee.
Notwithstanding the reaction in the
price of cotton, cotton goods in some in
stances are higher, with tho market
quiet, and likely to remain so until after
July 4th. Woolen goods are quiet with
mills fairly well employed where labor
troubles have not interfered. Trading
in wool bas been very heavy, and while
salos at the west have been made at low
prices, quotations have since advanced
l-2al cent per pound, thus ap
parently placing wool in line
with leather, wheat, corn, cotton,
iron and steel. Among the staples which
have enjoyed a revival the demand for
iron and steel continues, perhaps, tho
most striking feature. In a few in
stances certain grades of iron have en
joyed the unusual distinction of having
quotations advanced twice within the
week. Since the rise in prices began pig
iron bas advanced 25 and steel billets
about 30 percent in price and reserve
plant is being pressed into service.
In the Southern States business con
tinues at about mid-summer proportions,
with improvement In dry goods and
groceries, at Chattanooga and Atlanta,
a better feeling in trade circles at Bir
mingham and only a moderate expansion
of business at Galveston.
