' William J. ! Jones, United States Commissioner to Alaska, assigned to St. Michael's, has sent to the -Interior Department the following report of the gold rush in a letter dated at Dyea, Alaska, August 4th: ' "There are nearly 1,800 people in Dyea .and Skaguay routes and both trails are Blocked. People are throw-' ing away their packs and provisions and rushing headlong to the mines. Great distress, hardship and suffering and possible death from hunger and ex posure is sure to follow next winter, an opinion that is entertained by all old Alaska prospectors who have visited that part of the world in late years and know the situation." : Miss Bessie Koonce died at Colum bia, S. C., from poisoning, having rubbed- her teeth with piano polish. The body was interred without cere- mony at her request. Her violin, guitar and music were buried with her. in the coffin. . j In a wreck on the Seaboa Air Line, three and a half miles below Rocking hainj N. C, Willis Taylor, a negro brakeman, was killed and seventeen ears were derailed along with the en gine. The cars were filled with cigar ettes, shoes, canned goods and the like. Estimates place the tobacco crop of Florida this year as the largest in the history of the State. It will be worth several - hundred thousand dollars. Much of the planting was experimental; but no report of failure has yet come in. , - . A numerously sismed petition has been addressed to Governor McLaurin, of Mississippi, asking him to appoint lion. Patrick Henry, of Vicksburg, a i silver Democrat, to the vacancy in the Senate, caused by the death of Senator ueorge. , . . . pauy last week appeased before the Railway Commission, in Raleigh, .with a restraining order, granted by Judge Simonton, which prevents the Commls- sion from enforcing its order making the message rate in the State 13 cents, for, ten , words. The matter will be heard at th United States Circuit Court of Wilmington at the September term. The order is dated August 18th and re strains the commission from making any rate for the Western Union which does not apply to any other telegraph company. t - The Postal Telegraph Company filed an exception to the Railway Commis sion's 20-cent rate; the exception was overruled and Otho Wilson was dele gated by the Commission to represent this company at the hearing of the V estern Union case at Wilmington. Editor Bailer savs earnest efforts will be male to have the decision of the Su preme Court in the Barksdale case test ed. The point at issue is the constitu tional requirement that the public schools shall be open four months in each year, and that if this is not done the commissioners are liable to indict ment. The Supreme Court was divided. The majority held that the constitution was contradictory; that the school tax is part of the general tax. Judge Mer rimon dissented and it is along the line of his opinion that those who will make this new test have hope. Thev hope it will be decided that the school tax is a special tax and not within the constitu tional limitation, so the commissioners can be required to levy a tax to run the schools four months. The State Board of Tax Equalization finds the following average values in the State:. Farm lands, 3.78 per acre; town lots, $436 each; horses, Hmules, $44; cattle $0.83; 'hogs, $1.28; -sheep, 97 cents; K .goats, 65 cents: - bicy cles, $21.83. . The returns made to the .board show gross irregularities in val uation. One county, stokes, returns 81,000 acres more of land .than it did last year, yet the valuation is only 31, 000 more. In all cases where -the val ues of animals were found to be below the average .hey are brought up to it Those above the average are not troubled. He raid the nsa of tha tralA in ttJ rt would cause a stringency in the money markets.

President Lowry, of the association congratulated the members on ttie tri umph f the old standard, approved the Indianapolis monetary confereaa, and said if returning prosperity is not here it is on the wsr. He made the statement that the association had lost 840 members by the new schedule of membership dues. On the l$th the star attraction was the great speech of Comptroller Eckels. With a profound .knowledge of the his tory and science of finance he sounded s note of warning to the American peo ple, faring the financial system of the United States was a piece of crazy patch work, and that the only hope is in the goia sianuaro. John W. Faxon, of Chattanooga, Tenn., derided Mr. Bryan's claim that the price of silver controls the price of wheat, and said the recent fall of the one and rise of the other offered con clusive proof of the falsity of the claim. Only few of the States failed to re spond with a statement of industrial conditions. Interesting discussions of practical banking questions followed Mr, Eckels sddress. "Is a credit bureau or bureau of information to prevent losses from bad debts possible among bankers," was the subject of the first paper, read by John, U. Leathers, of Louisville, Ky. Mr. John P. Branch, president of the Merchants' National Bank. Richmond, Va., discussed the question "What legislation is needed in resjwet to the currency." VIRGINIA KKPLHMCANS JIKET. The grand jury has returned a true bill for murder against J. A. TJand and Bird Shepherd, who are charged with having caused the wreck at Bostiaa's bridge, near SUtss rills, Auf. 27, 1831. Twenty-two persons were killed in that wreck and the bill of indictment charges Hand and Shepherd with the murder of Hugh K. Leinster, of SUtesrrilla. one of the victims of the wreck. Both are white men. and both are now serving terms in the penitentiary. Hand was sent to the penitentiary from Itevloll it 1813 lor burglary, we andersiand), and Sepberd was sent p for maaalanghter from Alexander county in the same year or soon thereafter. We haven't learned when their terms expire, but whenever they are discharged from the peniten tiary they will be brought to Iredell to be tried for the offense with which they are charged. It will be recalled that the railroad company always maintained that the horrible disaster at Bostiaa's bridge was due to the work of train wreckers, and had one or more persons arrested for having, caused the wreck. They were never able to make out a ease, however, and the general publle never accepted their theory of the wreck. We do not know the nature of the evidence against Head and bbepherd and conse quently are unable to give an opinion of it, but it was of sufficient importance to cause the grsnd jury to find a bill, and this in itself makes the case one of importance.

The bomb was cylindrical in form, tho covering being of yellow paper, and was tilled with gun powder mixed with long-head nails.
