by its public-spirited citizens. We
riientioued last week that its Cham'-,-
i ri..iMN wrttilrr hold a nrtet-
!; i -1 kh nt for
ihg on the night of the 16th frt lor ,
the ournose of considering the mat
ti!r. Such a meeting was held and
much enthusiasm was aroused. Some
prominent citizens 6f &tanley and
Montgomery 'counties (throtfgh which
Uie proposed road would run)' otend
(d the meeting, and guaranteed that
those counties would subscribe lib
erally to the construction of such a
rxad. Letters and telegrams weicf
deceived from other leading citizens
heartily endorsing the project. In
drder to obtain the opinions and
wishes of the citizens of the several
bounties through which-the road may j
run,- the following resolution was
adopted:
"Resolved, That the committee on
railroads, of the Chamber of Com
merce be instructed to issue a circu
lar letter to the citizens of Mecklen
burg, Cabarrus, Stanly, Montgomery,
Moore, Chatham, Durham, Wake,
Baudolpb Warren, Franklin, Halifax
aud Northampton, asking them to
have delegates? appointed to repre
sent these respective counties in a
railroad meeting, to be held in the
tlity of Charlotte, on the 15th of
March, 1888, and that a circular let
ter be issued by the committee ex
plaining the object of the meeting
and calling attention to the different
routes proposed".-
If the people of Chatham think
thut the proposed road would benetit
them any, they ought to be repre
sented at the proposed meeting, on
the I5th of Maroh, and try to have
this road run through this county.
For this purpose, we suggest that a
meeting be held here on the first
Monday in March, and appoint dele
gates to represent Chatham at the
Charlotte meeting. What say you,
fellow county men t
In thiv connection we copy the fol
lowing extract from a recent editorial
in the Charlotte Chronicle on this
subject :
The exact direction the line will
take, it must be borne in mind, is to
bo determined by the amount of sub
scriptions made here and there by
competing counties or towns. The
road must be expected to take care
of itself, if we are pardoned the im
personatidu, as it opens its way to
the sea. For instance, whether it is
built through Durham or Raleigh,
down through Moore or across
through Chatham, depends upon the
inducements offered by these several
localities in the way of subscriptions
for its building.
The Radicals, knowing that Cleve
land wll certainly be re-elected un
less the people can be prejudiced
agaiost him by false statements, have
already begun to circulate again some
of the old campaign lies that were
Exploded in 1884. One of them
charges him with beiug in favor of
mixed schools, and that when Gov
ernor of New York he signed a bill
to have mixed schools for the white
nd black children. This campaign
lie is circulated in order to excite
the prejudices of Southern demo
crats and thus break up the "solid
South", but it can deceive no one as
there is not a word of truth in it.
The editor of the State Chroniole
wrote a letter, some days ago, to
President Cleveland informing him
df thi& rumor being circulated and
asking him about its truth, and in
reply the President not only em
phatically denies the truth of the
rumor, but says that the bill which
lie signed "had precisely the contrary
effect that is,- the purpose and' ob
ject was to retain the colored schools
sepal ate and distinct from those of
the whites" !
The lilair Bill.
The Senate passed the Blair edu
catioual bill, a few days ago,- by i
Vote of 39 to 25. Both Senators
from this State, Ransom and Vance
voted for it. 1 be bill now goes to
the House, and its passage by that
body ifi very doubtful. As much
misapprehension' exists as to the ua
fare of the bill, end in order that
?ar readers may fully understand its
provisions, we publish the following
synopsis of it, as passed by the Sen
ate :"

Our Washington Letter.
Fron our Kearular Correspondent.
Washington, Feb. 17thj 1888.
During the present session of Con
gress, wmcn uas ueeii iu scobwu u
little over two mouths, more than
6250 bills have been introduced iu
the House of Representatives. Not
one foitsieth of them have passed,' and
before final adjournment, the number
of bills presouted aud lefened will
probably have reached twice that
number.
The life of a Congressional bill is
lather interesting. To give you some
idea of the red tape that a bill must
encounter, it is only necessary to say
that a full-grown bill must be print
ed six time, and must pass through
the hands of at least twenty-five per
sons before it can be numbered with
the laws of the land.
Ihere seems to be a growing dis
position on the part of Congress to
regulate, or rather to restrict the
publication of certaiu matter in the
press such as lotteries aud gift en
terprises. Thirteen bills of this char
acter were introduced in the last
Congress, and eight or nine have
been brought forward in the present.
The House Committee has report
ed adversely the bill to license rail
road conductors, and this is piobably
the last that will be heard of that
measuie.
The House Judiciary Committee
has ordered a favorable report on the
Senate bill to refund the direct taxes
collected during the late civil war,
with an amendment providing that
money so collected shall be restored
to the rightful owner. There is little
doubt oi the passage of this act.
The Wavs and Meaus Committee
has reported a bill authorizing the
Secretary of the Treasury to invest
the surplus in the purchase of United
States bonds. Heretofore this au
thority was conferred upon that ol
ficial by virtue of the provision of the
auuual appropriation bill. As an is
sue has been raised (juestioniug his
right in the matter, it was thought
best to finally settle the controversy
by such legislation.
The Republican Senators have but
two subjects to discuss when they
wish to talk for political effect. When
weary of assaulting the President's
message they are reduced to the
necessity of attacking the mail ser
vice in the West. Senator Reagan
was to the point when he said that if
a reform was honestly sought, the
complaints would not be sent to the
United States Senate, but to the
Postoffice Department, where steps
could be taken to correct the alleged
short-comings.
Blaine's letter is variously viewed
both by Democrats and Republicans.
The former place little faith in his
sincerity, while those of the latter
who are unfriendly to the aspirations
of the man from Maine are moro than
willing to take him at his word. On
the other hand, the ardent supporters
of Mr. Blaine are hoping that there
will be a reaction in his fa?or, which
will gppnrently make the candidacy
of their favorito a necessity.
As a result of the retirement of
Blaine, there are u number of Presi
dential booms, among which may be
mentioned Senators Hawley, Sher
man, Allison, as well as Gresham
aud General Sheridan. In fact the
Republicans in Congress are now
thiuking more of President-making
than of legislation.
At last the so called "everlasting
Blair bfll" has Bgain passed the Sen
ate this time by a vote of 3U to 29. It
has been in three Congresses now,
and has occupied much Valuable time,
which its enemies say will be to no
purpose. Its fate in the House is
problematical, but most of the Demo
crats voted against it before, and the
longer the bill has been thought of
and talked of the weaker rt has grown
The last vote upon it by the SSenate
was not so strong as the vote ot two
years ago.
The Fisheries Commission having
uuuciuueu' i lb moors anu signa a
treaty, the same wiil be submitted to
the Senate today. It only includes
the disputes on the Atlantic coast.
The President and party are ex
pected to make their nvincr trip to
the Land of Flowers early next week.

cyclone that visit 6d this city yester
day afternoon ei 5 o'clock destroyed
nearly three hundred residences and
places of business, aud unhoused 1,
200 to 1,500 people. In the fall of
the walls many persons were buried
under tfce debris, and thirty five were
killed, while twice as many more
were injured, eight or ten so serious
ly that their rerovery is despaired of
Preceding the destructive wind was
a heavy fall of rain for half an hour,
which drove all the inhabitants to
shelter. This was followed by a slight
hail storm, accompanied with light
ning, and then the f urous blow, which
formed into a funDl-shaped cyclone,
struck the southwestern portion of
the city, unroofing everything in its
path, aud taking a diagonal course
through the business portion of the
city, unroofed and dismantled the
Supremo Court building, near the
Louisville & Nashville depot, and
skipping along to the Methodist and
Baptist Churches, smashed theiu into
worthless masses. At one point the
destructive element jumped upward
and missed eevei al stores aLd resi
dences, but soon pounced down again
and began a career of uupaialeledde
structiou, tearing dowu heavy brick
buildings, wrecking and twisting
frame structures out of semblance,
and making a useless mass of debris.
The court house, which occupies a
public square in the centre of the
city, was literally torn to pieces, the
wails hein twisted and crushed. The
tower ''fted and dropped to
westvvp: - .ud demolished the hand
some i l: li s that supported the en
trance. This was the extreme point
to the north that the storm reached,
although the business block iu which
are the Mount Vernon National Bank
and other business house s, was some
what dismantled by filing brick aud
timbers.
The storm was over iu thirty min
utes, and people rushed out of their
safe retreats and unharmed homes to
ive assistance to the needy. A fire
company, aided by citizens, began the
work of rescue, which was carried on
systematically. The inaor filled hi
piace admirably aud in short ordei
had called for assistance from neigh
boring towns. Fire engines aud
physicians were wanted, and Ceu
tralia. Ashley, Nabhvilie ami Evaus
ville responded generorsly and quick
ly. Citizens threw open their houseb
to the homeless aud their bedrooms
became hospitals, while worthy mat
rons turned expert nurses. What
was left of the Supreme Court build
ing was turned into a morgue.
A strange thing was that three
minutes after the c) clone the sun was
shining brightly on the scene of des
olation. Sli, oting Affair.
Special to the Wilmington Messenger.
Wilson, N. C, Feb. 19. Last night
about 7 o'clock, Noel Eatmau went to
the house ot his cousin, Noah Eat
mau. and while endeavoring to per
suade Noah's wife to approve of the
sale of some land which he was ei
deavoriug to buy from him, becai .e
involved in a quarrel with hei j
seems that Mrs. Eatmau quarreled
loudly, too, as she was heard by her
lather, John Bottoms, who lives about
a half a mile from them. Bottoms
armed himself, and ran over to his
son-in law's aud jumped into the door
of the house, which is a one-room
log building, and demanded the cause
of the row. Seeing Noel Eatman in
the room, who had a warrant from
the sheriff of Nash for his arrest, he
fired at him, breaking the thigh-bone
of the left leg. The second shot pen
etrated the calf of his right leg.
Then the tiring became promis
cuous,, ten or twelve shots being ex
changed in alL Eatman fell to the
floor, and drawing a 38-calibre Smith
& Wesson, he proceeded to empty it
at old man Bottoms, who was grazed
by two bullets, but is not hurt seri
ously. Noah Eatman, his wife and
children, and several other persons
were in the room at the time, and in
the melee one of the children, a little
boy about seven years old, was shot
through the head and is fatally
wounded. Though alive at last ac
counts, he is and has been uncon
scious since he was shot.
John Bottoms is about 65 years
old; and has beeu dodging the sheriff
of JNasb county for two or three years,
and is said to be a desperate man.
He and Eatman both have their par
tisans and there is considerable feel
ing up, and new trouble is expected.
The shooting occurred iu Jackson
township.
Mrs. Mathner of Texarkana, Ark.,
hid $500 iu the stove to prevent the
burglars getting it, and next morning
built a lire without taking out the
money. Her husband is excused by
all r r.r.-hbors for his swearing.

How to Get Rid of ('rows.
From theLouisville Hume aud Farm.
A Cb.tcr (Pa ) gentleman tells an i
interesting story of the m:nner in
whiih a Delaware county farmer got
rid of crows. H was gieally trou
bled by the depredation of these bii ds, j
and all the meaus to drive them away
permanently having failed, he tried
an original plan. Taking n half peck
or more of corn he soaked it thorough
iy in whi: key and then scattered the
cereal ahug ihe fence of the fiold
chiefly visit d by the feathered thieves.
He soon had a number of crows eat
ing the doctored .and as they
didn't fly awaydint to observe
the effect of the dose. He found
every crow diuuk, soine lying over
on their sides, others tottering around
iu a maudau attempt to fly. lie could
have killed every one, but resolved to
wait the out come of the drunk. Grad
ually the birds recovered, aud oue by
oue flew unsteadily away. During
the remainder of the season the far
mer was not troubled by a single
crow.
Sheridan No Candidate.
Washington, Feb. 11). An agent of
the Associated Press has interviewed
Geo. Sheridan a to his possible 01
probable candidacy for the Presiden
cy. After being plied with numer
ous questions, the General wound up
with the following emphatic answet :
"I have uever had the Presidential
bee in my bonnet, aud I don't intend
o have it, for there is nothing thai
would induce mo to leave the profes
sion in which nearly forty years of
my life have been spent, to enter
upon a civil career ; so all the tri,lk
about my beiug a candidate may as
veil end. Should the Republican
Convention nominate me I would no;
accept, but there is not the slightest
probability of my being nominated ;
and, in any event. I would not accept ;
no. not under anj circumstances. I
do not want that or any other civil
office."
A New Educational Kill.
Washington, Feb. 20. Mr. Sim
mons' bill, he thinks, differs from all
educational bilis, aud the deposit bill
of 1836, in that it avoids constitution
al objections. It is virtually a loan
to the States,, in proportion to the
illiteracy, loan to be-good fer at least
twenty years and then to require rive
years notice before recall. No inter
est will be due. The sixty-five mil
lions of surplus in the treasury is to
be devoted to the purpose. The only
restrictions on States are safe invest
meut in Federal or State bonds, the
interest only to be used to promote
common school education ; the schools
to afford equal advantages to both
races. In other words it is a deposit
with the Stat 68 in the nature of a
loan with interest as donation to the
Cause of popular education.

ou examination of some of the bodies
J hey were :ouud to be in a very natural

their friends, looking almost as na
tural as when first placed away. The
body of Dr. R. C. TilJerv, one of our
.nost prominent citizens, having been
buried three ytars, was upon exam
inalion found to be looking as natural
as when buried. The moustache had
grown an in'h or more ami was much
blacker, and the chin whiskers were
from eight to ten iuclns longer. The
body seemed to be iu a perfect state
of preservation, as were the remains
of Home ladies who were removed. '
Raleigh Visitor: This morning
about day break a colored woman
di. covcu d a man lying dead on the
sidewalk just beyond the corporate
limits of t lie city, on Hargett street,
on the site of the Old Fair Grounds.
Tho body proved to be that of An
drew Fonner a colored man aged
about 2S years, who kept a small
store and wood yard in the immedi
ate vicinity. He was lying on his
faoo which was quite bloody. The
blood was t raced from his room to
w here ho was found, indicating that
ho had probably been taken with a
hemoiihae and at once ran out. To
day whihi the body of Andrew Fen-"
ner, the colored man forud dead this
morning, was lying in the house
awaiting the coroner's jury, a negro
named Alfred Pearce, broke into the
house and stole the dead man's pock
et book besides several other articles.
He was apprehended by an officer,
and, in default of bail, was sent to jail
by Justice Barbee. Miss Josephine
Williams, was seriously burned at
the residence of her mother, in St.
Matthew's Township, this county. It
is thought that her injuries may prove
fatal, as when she was discovered her
clothing, with the exception of her
shoes, had been burned from her
body.
