VOL. XXXIX. NO. 49 TALMftGE’S NEW FIELD PRESIDENT CLEVELAND GOES TO CHURCH IN THE MORNING, BUT NOT AT NIGIIT. MINISTER RANSOM’S SALARY PAID Acting Comptroller Bowers, of the Treasury Department Settles the Matter by Signing the Required Voucher--Treasury Surplus in Sight Fourth Class Past-oflicesto be Placed Under the Civil Service—Morrison’s Silver Views. Special to the News and Observer. Washington, D. C., Sept. 28. There has been some surprise that Dr. Sunderland would be willing to have even so great a man as Dr. Talmage as eo pastor. He has held the reins of his church almost half a century, and is sail vigorous and active. It turns out now that friends of Dr. Talmage, and others who wanted Washington to have at least one great preacher, were negotiating to lease the Academy of Music for Dr. Talmage, when some of the leading membirs of Dr. Sunderland’s church suggested the idea of inducing him to become co pastor. It was a happy idea. The versatile and popular Tal mage will come here in October to preach. It is probable that he will con duct the evening services, leaving the old pastor to preach at the morning ser vice. If that arrangement is carried out, the President will not hear Dr. Talmage at al l , for he never goes to church at night. And, for that matter, he is not a regular attendant at the morning ser vice, though he is usually present in the winter. Speaking of Mr. Cleveland re calls a statement made to me not long ago by a member of the New York Ave nue Presbyterian Church. He sud: “Mr. Cleveland* has never put his foot in our church, though it is only a stone’s throw from the White House. I have always thought that he had a prejudice against our church for the reason that long ago we had a pastor who had formerly lived in Buffalo an 1 who denounced Mr. Cleveland severely s. when he was first a candidate for Presi dent. Mr. Cleveland never forgets never shows resentment—but I have thought he kept away from us because he associated the church with the unfair assault upon his good name.” There is probably no ground for this su picion, for Mr. Cleveland has never set i-jcr in any church in Washington except the First Presbyterian, unless upon the occasion of some official cere mony, as the services m honor of the President of Fi ance'held in St. Matthews’ Catholic chuich in June of last year. * * * Mr. Willie Wili ams, son of Col. Henry G. Williams, d’ed suddenly in Virginia this week Col. Williams was summon ed bv telegraph. * * * President Cleveland has in contem plat ion an order placing all the fourth class postcffices under the protection of the Civil Sen ire law. There were on July 1 of the present jear 70,084 post masters in the United States, of which number 66,560 were in the fourth class list, and will be protected by the pro posed ex’ension of the Civil Servile rules. The peculi ;r character of the ser vice will make it necessary to devise special rules for the appointment of these postmasters, and the President, the offi eials of the Postoffiee Department and the Civil Service Commissioners have had the matter under consider Vi on for some time. * * * A Trea. ury surplus is in sight. For the first time in two years under normal conditions the receiptsof the Government will this m -n h exceed the expenditures Ihe indications now are that the surplus for the month of September will amount to about 1*2.500.000 to $4,000,000. This favorable showing is a source of much satis'action to the high officers of the Treasury Department, who believe that the turning i*oiat has now been reached and that the new tariff law will hence forth prove its efficiency in raising enough re.enues to meet the expenses of the Government. Unfavorable trade conditions have hitherto delayed the ac complishment of this object and tne Wil son law has not until now brought into the Treasury the full amount that was expected of it. Now that business is im proving, trade once more getting brisk and commc’ca again beginning to as surne normal proportions, the Treasury, the nation’s pulse, feels the accelerated potion through all the arteries of trade, and, instead of showing a deficit, beg ; ns to accumulate a surplus * * * Whatever Vtr. Morrison does or says is watched now with more interest than ever, sicco the belief has become current that he has more strength and availa bility tor the Democratic Presidential nomination than any other Western man. In a recent interview at his home in Waterloo, I I. (an unlucky name for a hometown), in answer to the question, “How can the Democrats come together on the financial question in this State?” he said; “If the Democrats are to win, some common ground must be selected on which all Democrats of Illinois can staud. 1 don’t believe there is a Democrat in the State who desires a silver dollar to be worth less than a gold dollar. I confess that I don’t want to see such a condition of affairs. “We cannot get along well with out the u-a* of both gold and silver as money, and they should be equal in value for purposes of trade aud commerce and the payment of debts. 1 don’t want to see either metal lose its value as an article of exchange for com mercial purposes, but the absolute equal ity of the dollar unit should be maiu tained at all hazards. “I want to see a broader basis for act ual money than that which would be furnished by either one of the metals. One metal alone will not be sufficient.” * * * The establishment of an American E b*nk at Shanghai, China, is strongly The News and Observer.

Special to the News iTml Observer. Winston Salem, N C., Sept 28. The tobacco manufacturers are having a splendid business year. Their sales this month will largely exceed those of September, ’95. The shipments this week will aggregate more than 250,000 pounds. The Winston Salem Granite Company is the name of a new enterprise tncor porated here this week. The company owns a valuable granite quarry on the North Carolina Midland Railroad, six miles south west of Winston, and a fine outfit cf stone working machinery. The company has an authoriz ed capital of $50,000. J. A. Bennett is President, O. A. McGalliard is general manager and C. A. Bennett Secretaiy Rev. H. A. Brown, D. D , the popular pastor of the First Baptist church, this city, has the longest pastorate of any man in the State. He is a graduate of Wake Fo est College, in the class of ’7l, and is 48 years old. He is a member of the Board of Tiustees of Wake Forest, and so. fifteen years has been chairman of the executive board of the Pilot Moun tain Association, which has founded and fostered many churches in the Piedmont section of North Carol na. Mr. W. F. Carter, of Mt. Airy, J n look ing over the papers of the late Judge Mebaae, of Madison, a few days ago, found a letter from tie Great Commoner, Alexander H. Stevens, of Georgia. The ietter was written to the late George L Atken. who was a rich farmer and a proon ent citizen of Rockingham county. It seems from the tenor of the letter, which was written in April, 1869, that Mr. Aiken hod: written to Mr. Stephens remonstrating with him about his position on public questions. Tne letter was in reply to this, and con tained Mr Stephens’ views of public affairs before, during and after the war, with a prophecy as to the future of the country, which, Mr. Carter says, i 3 be ing fulifiled to the letter. Six colored couples were “pulled” by the officers in Winston this week for living in fornication and adultery. Three of the couples, after their trial, were marri.d, one couple was bound over to court, one was released aud the sixth i 3 in jail awaiting trial. 506 STUDENTS ENROLLED At the University, 134 of Whom Are Freshmen—“ University Day” Will b e Celebrated Oct. 12*h, Special to the News and Observer.

An Incident of Nathaniel Macon’* Courtship Retold. Littleton, N. 0., > pt. 28. To the Editor of the News and Observer: I)r T. W. Harris, of this place, who - fond cf collecting antiquities, has re-. cently com - into the posse.'.sion of an t hi writing desk once owned and used by Hon. Nathaniel Macon, and to say that he values it almost beyond the price of rubies, would bo putting it mildly. Few meu were ever reared in the Old North State who attained greater promi ueuce than did the “gentleman from North Carolina,” a id to day his memory is loved and cherished by every true Car oliuian. Having been a Representative iu Congress for twenty five years, and for two terms Speaker of the House of Representatives, as well as United States Senator for twelve years, all the time serving his people with fidelity aud great ability, it is little wonder that he was so loved and honored. If you will pardon the digression—it has been written of Mr. Macon that he was a man of great perseverance and tenacity of character, as is illustrated by the following anec dote, whicn I copy from a biography of theg eat soldier and statesman, by Ed ward R. Cotten, published in 1840: “It appears that Mr. Macon and one of his rivals met at the house in which Miss Hannah Plummer resided, at the same time. (Miss Plummer was the sweetheart of Mr. Macon.) After the ordinary ceremonies of the meeting were settled, Mr. Macon proposed to his rival, in the presence of the object of their mutual admiration, that they take a game of cards for Hannah, and that the vanquished should surrender her to the other and nevermore be in hi way; told him that he conld think of no tetter way than this, and that it was certainly the shortest way to decide their controversy. The expedient was agreed to by the two rivals, and the result of the game was that Mr. Macon lost Hannah, upon which he raised up his hands, with his eyes fixed upon Hannah, sparkling wi f b teams of affection, exclaiming: ‘Hanuah, not withstanding I have lost you fairly, love is superior to honesty; I cannot give you up.’ It is said the manner in which he made this declaration inclined the scale in his favor, and that he and Hannah were, shortly after, married.” The old pi ce of furniture in question is constructed of black walnut, and is filled with pigeon holes, drawers, etc. It must be over oce hundred and fifty years of age and is much the worse for wear. This would not be the case hid the desk been taken care of, but it has the appear ance of having been exposed for the last fifty years to the rains, snows, storms and sunshine, and the re a perhaps, that it did not find its way into the fire, was the fact that the wood was so hard that it could not be chopped up. I r doubt less fell into hands of th -e who kr.-ev. nothing of its h s ory, and the hallowed associations clinging about it. ar d hence its treatment. However it was rescued ; tefere it was en T ire)y destroyed, and is j now, everything considered, iu a wonder ful state of preservation Dr. Harare has generously tendered the loan of this valuable reli: to the managers of the North Carolina exhibit at the Atlanta Exposition, and I believe that it will attract much attention at the big fair. Indeed, the State exhibit would be incomplete without it. Trie name of Nathaniel Macon is synonymous with everything chhalric, statesmanlike, and honorable in North CaruSua, and the s.ns and daughters of the “Old North State” take an interest iu everything that pertains to the mem orv of the Great Commoner. J.L Harper NO FILIBUSTERS IV C4TAWB 4. Au Agent of the Cuban Revolutionists j Gets Poor Encouragement. Special to the News and Observer. Hickory, N. C.. Sept. 28. An agent of th? Oman revolutionist has attempted to enlist a company of filibusters here to set out for the war. Who he is, nr where from, no one seems to know. He is repor ed to have head quarters in a large Western city whence he sends out proposals for r cruits. One young man is said to bav- teen offerd a •recond lieutenancy in ihe Cuban service. 1 1 Catawba county are many oft!;; sons of the heroes who followed William the Silent among the dikes of Hohand, aud braved the fury of the butcher Aiva. But their descendants nave no taste for filibustering, and t .e proposals of the revolutionists meet with a negative re spouse. No one was fouud who cared to take up a foreign quarrel and have the prospect of Spanish bayo nets and the ravages of yellow- fever. Hence the Caban revolution will proceed without aid from Hickory. Mr. J. F. Chick, editor of tin. Mercury, has returned from the silver convention, and expresses himself as highly delight ed at the result. He thinks that the sil vvr forces will all be united in one par ty. Li hisopiniou, the Popuii ts will not under any eircumstanc s support a Pres idential candidate who is unfavorable to free c linage, if his views are correct, there can be no such thing as Fusion on national issues between the Republicans and Populists. Mr. William Hale, of this place, has completed a translation of Amedeo Ach ard’s novel, “Belle Rose, a Romance of the Cloak and the Sword.” His publishers, Messrs. Street & Smith, of New York, write him in a very complimentary voiu concerning his work. They expect to issue the book within a few months. The Lutheran Synod convened here yesterday aud will remain in session un til Monday. A protracted meeting is in progress at the Methodist church. The pastor, Rev. F. L. Townsend, is assisted by Rev.

There has been a shake up lately no the Southern -something that looks lie a shake out, if it is true that Mr. Sol Haas ha *. resigned his position as Assist ant to President Spencer.

It is interesting to note in this con neetion that southern men have filled the high executive positions on the sys tem: President Spencer is a Georgian, and was educated at llie University of Virginia. His career in New York as the railroad adjuster in the banking house of Drexel, Morgan & Co., has been one series of advancements.

He | said he was going to leave the railroad ; business for god lie would never again, bo s .ii, be co one.ted with a rail ' road corporation. Now comes another telegram from' New York to thisefftet: “Mr Solomon I Lass, who is assistant to President Spencer, of the Soutl-orn Railway, «n nouaccd that his resignation had been place - in the bands o’ President Spet.c r, toa v .*i: ii *: l etei M aeti n.

Tne resignation has not been acted u.-ou as yet, mug an ami cable settlement may he mace, which will mean the continuation of Mr. Hua;- in office.” This looks quite probable. Without regard to any friction that may have been caused by the last assignment of Mr. Finlay to the traffic department, it is common report that Sol. Haas has been considered one of the very best traffic men in this country and is known from ocean to ocean. He is young, and it is hard to believe that he will be allowed to retire permanently from tin railroad world. He, also, is from the South. Mr. Finlay, the third Vice President, iR from Mississippi, aud Traffic Manager J. W. Culp is a Kentuckian, while Win * A. Turk is a Virginian, whose seductive powers of oratory, as lately developed at Boston, need only to be turned on,to per suade a passenger from New York to Min neapolis to go via Asheville and the Bat tery Park Hotel, the scenery of the French I Broad being largely drawn upon by this I orator in the argument. Perhaps all : these big officials teing from the South ! was what Caused the road to be called i Southern, but yarkee raonry knows its I men, an! so the South should be proud | either way. Aril North Carolina and Raleigh are specially gratified at the well earned re cognition that comes to its citizen, Mr A B. Andrews. Mr. Andrews is 54years of r gc;te*start ed out with a powerful physical make up, and carries a two hundred and twenty-five jiound body that is built for standing the strains of nineteen*b century complexities and executive work. Re went into the war as a sturdy lad, only, fought in the ranks, and “fought like the devil,” so an army iomradesaid of him. He went to Lieutenant, aud up the grades to C xlonel, and was engaged in many actions where hisskill andcour age solved the problem of the battle several times. He was shot down, with a bard shot, in front, through the breast, and was declared to be officially dead. But he got up, got on h : s horse, and rode the battles out to the end. He came out ot it all, with his Yankee bu’let only, without a dollar, and began bunding railroad bridges on borrowed money. He paid it back, aud kept on working. Then the Raleigh & Gaston wanted him to be its superintendent. This was in 1867. He kept this position until 1875, when he became Superinten dent of the North Carolina railroad. The system to which this road belonged had begun to] feel the modern touch that has woveu old sletzy threads of roads into complex well knit system The Richmond and Danville syst m grew. The Western North Carolina railroad idea came as a part ol the evolution, a d it was the shoul ler of Col. Andrews that did a great part of the pushing that that put the train ovvr the mountain ali the way to Asheville. The Paint Rock i-xteneiou came later, and the railroad tale: t of Cui. Andrews kept pace with the scoi>e ahead for a great railroad sys tom. This teirgs him up to 1881. In 1886 he w . - made 3rd Vicc-Presi dent 0 the Richmond and Danville ra’lf id.
