Phillips ami Attorney-General Miller, sjicnt several hours to-day con- lemnir about the Itil i.ouo compromise I hope to telegraph you the result as soon as the coulcrenee ends. Governor Fowle protests against the admission ol' (ierommo's hand. I louuil that the wnrilcpartmeiit was not wholly committed to the nlea, though hecreinry Troetor refused to sav anything more explicit about it. Maj. W. W. Flemming. formerly of Charlotte, who is btiilttiiiK a good practice here by the way, tells me that he thinks Gcrouinio cannot be set tled in North Carolina unless the land is bought from private parties orgrnntcd by SH'cial act of the Legislature which is not probable. Fifty thousand dollars worth of Ashe villi.' property was yesterday placed in the hands of Messrs. Jenkins and Rich- V ards, an enterprising real estate firn: 1, here, and they. -tregoing to push it. They : expect more in a lew days. Mr, Iidwurii ' Jenkins, senior partner of the firm, is n ' North Carolinian, ami is familiar with the wonderful resources of the State. He thinks he can make some sales to several most desirable parlies. October:!, IKS'.). Governor Fowle stated to ine this t morning that he thought the terms o: ?j the compromise with regard to the $ 147, j? 00(1 worth of railroad bonds would 1101. J l,e determined until to-morrow, lie and Mr. Husliee sK-nt several hours in con sultation yesterday, started work on it ' 1 again this" morning at 11 o'clock, and will be engaged on it until a late hour ' this evening. Governor Fowle says that the State docs noljohjcct to paying the $17,000, but he is unwilling to allow ) the $41,500 interest charged after the bonds had matured. The bonds were bought bv the United Stales treasury and the Indian office. Mr. llnsbec has to interview these two departments to i dav, that is the cause of lie delay. Gov j cnior Fowle says he is willing to pay the i $147,000 down, and leave the $41,- .".00 interest to the Supreme court id' the United Slates to settle. He thinks the decision of that tribunal would be in i favor (if the Stale. The Governor hopes 4 after this is settled to have, with other resources he has at his command, a sink ing fund of $3,000,(100 to the credit of the Slate. He says .State taxes were never lighter than they now are, and the jiartv never in better trim. He was ' asked at the department yesterday why Secretary I'roctor hit upon North Caro- linn as a' place lor the Indians, he re- i plied: "I suppose Secretary I'roctor i found out after he took charge of tin " war department that North Carolina . did the best fighting during the late war. $ and wanted to send his Apaches among JL . a people who had the ci'inge to keep f them straight. But we don't want llitm, ' and I suggest that if he vetoes my prop 's osition to colonize them in Vermont, he i shall next choose Massachusetts, and F put ohn L. Sullivan in charge of them.' I think if our able Governor has any- r thing to say in this matter and he ccr- ( taiulv will have Gcronimo ami his braves will not occupy any of the fertile vallevs or beautiful mountains of "The Land of the Sky." The Star of this evening says : "If Governor Fowle is not ihcmosl am iable man in the country, mnnncrsnud ap pearances count for nothing. He might rcadilv pass for the original governor ol North' Carolina who made a certain fa mous remark to the governor of South Carolina. He is a rather short, smooth faced man of rotund proportions, with a merry twinkle in his eye, a cordial man ner and a speech full of wit. In calling on the President he had the advantage of not being an office seeker and he soon drew the President into a social laugh." The President assured Governor Fowle that the Indians would not be scut to a State that did not want them. ROMANCK IN KKAI, I.IFK. A at. I.oulH Woman Renounces the Man Hhe I.oves, A St. Louis dispatch of a recent (late M.ivs : In a divorce ease filed in thecircuit court, entitled Marian Miller vs. Louis Miller, there is a most strange and ro mantic history. Twentv-livc years ago Louis Miller, then of St. Petersburg, Rus sia, married a lady of high birth. After the marriage they settled down in their native city. Miller decided to leave his native land and try his fortune among a free pen pic. He came here and .entered business and accumulated a for tune. During all ol this time he was sending money to his wile and receiving .letters from her, but in a levy months after he lclt home his mother, with whom he left his voting wile, died, and the wile left to join her friends, 500 miles in the interior of Russia. All of this time the mails were very irregular. The young wife received no letters from him and he received none from her, until one day a letter cume to him with the tidingsof her death. Thinking him lost his wife concluded to visit this country and learn, it possible, what had become of him. Ilringing with her their son, who had grown to nian ihood, she landed in Ilaltimorc and Un ison came to St. Louis and engaged in business. Meeting some friends, one day thev asked him where his father was, and he told them the story of his lather's lite. They said the son looked like a man they knew, and he sent to his mother for a picture of his father, which was shown his friends, who took him at onccto that gentleman. But in the meantime, in July, 1887, the tnthcr had married again, anil was livinu in fine style in this city. His first wile came to see him and the meeting be tween them was one of iov and sadness. t ll wives, u is declared, loved the hus band, but the good judgment ol tnc last wife did not forsake her, and she said she would release him to again live and love his bridcot the years long gone by. Act ing on this resolution she has employed counsel to bring a suit to release her and him from the ties that bind them to gether. Man Cotton Review. Nkw Yokk, October 4-.

A number of the survivors of the Corona disaster reached the city to-day. Seven ot them came bv rail and the others by the City of St. Louis. Those who came by train were Cant. T. C. Sweeney, who was a passenger, Pilot L. W. Rollins, bell clerk, Hetty Iliggins, lack Green, captain ol the deck watch.

She was on the Corona with her sister Mrs. Huff anil two clul dreu enroutc to Columbia as a passen ger. She says: "I was standing with my sister with the youngest child in un arms, in the rear "ot the boat's cabin, when the explosion look place. The chambermaid came running to us with life preservers, which we fastened on. The pantryman then came running to us and told us to go up oil the Hurricane roof until he could gel the life boat down, which he did in a hurry. We then got into the yawl, and hardly had we liccn seated when the boat was swamped, throwing us all into the river." 1, with my three year old child in one arm, held 011 to a piece of wreckage until one of the St. Louis boats came and saved us. I told the child, 'hold tight, daughter, God will save us.' Of my sister, Mrs. Hull", who is a widow, from Opelansas, I saw no more "iflcr our boat capsized." A little six .. ear old boy of Mrs. Henry Hlanks, who was blown into the air by liic explosion, said : "I was out looking at Capt. Sweeney fixing the electric light and then went into tile cabin and hardly gol as far as l he office when I wus blown nwiy into the air, and when I came down 1 fell into t lie river on my hack. When I came to the surface I caught on to a sack and an old man was near by holding a piece of wood howling for yawls to come and save him. I' was then thatl was fright ened and began to yell also, when a skill' came and picked me and the old man up and look us 011 til. r boat, the City of St. Louis." The brave little fellow is badly hurt about the head, lie staled that this was caused by a man throwing a plank 011 him. I.atonia Races. Cincinnati, October .'!.

Washington, October 4. The official report of the trial board on the cruiser Ilaltimorc, relative to her recent trial run was received at the navy department this moraine The board stutes that the average horse-power developed by the eiiL'incs was 8.077.80: the reiiuire- meiit lieing 0,000, thus making a de ficiency of 22. 12 nowcrs. which would in cur a ncnaltvof $2,212. Theserew made an avcraire'of 117 revolutions, which allowing 10 percent, slip, would give her ail average speed ol l!).t Knots an nour. The report states that during the run, two of the indicators which had been thoroughly tested before the trial broke. and it was necessary to substitute two others which had not been tested, uu the record of these indicators depended the record of the development of horse power. Secretary Tracy, after reading of the report this morning, decided to waive the (piestion of acceptance of the vessel until he could hear from the Cramps, the contractors, as to whether or not they were willing to let the last trial stand as a final one, or prclerred to have another trial run with indicators tnorougniy tested. His defence in the matter is based on the accident to the indicators. The report shows that the ship made wonderful speed, notwithstanding the failure to develop good horse power, and the Secretary is inclined to look upon that achievement as eminently satis factory. The allowance made for the slip in calculating sliced is a large one. The Cramps will be allowed another op portunity to lest tne norse power oi tnc cruiser at their own expense. Should they prefer not to have another trial, the cruiser will oe acccpieu oy ine j;ovei u ment.

The open ing figures were on a level with yester day's closings, and, after numerous and lieiiieut fluctuations within V4c. limits, December selling up to 82 V4 off to Hl, and hack to S2'2 again, the market ap peared to get into a rut, out of which it could not be dislodged by either side. Although prices averaged for the day fractionally above yesterday's closing quotations, the undertone was weak ami surlacc indications were bearish. Re ported arrivals of over 700 cars of wheat at Minneapolis and Duluth, and a dis patch saying that Minneapolis millers had reduced their prices lc. in the coun try, had a depressing effect here. Realiz ing sales early, and a slump to 81-!ic llecemlier proved to lie the only feature of the forenoon. A little spurt just at the close carried prices to the outside figures of the day, and the market at adjourn ment showed a net gain ot Vac. to :. Corn ruled (iniet a greater part of the session, with occasional eriods of tem porary activity. 1 he leelmg devcloc(l was steady, and prices averaged a shade lower compared with yesterday. Trad ing was mainly of a local character, and fluctuations confined within a narrow range. Oats were slow and easier, wttn trad ing chiefly local. No outside influences were brought to liear, and transactions were mainly at slightly below yester day's closing figures. Trading m mess pork was very light. Prices ruled slightly higher, and the maila't closed (piict at inside figures. In lard, very little was done, and the market ruled steady. Prices ruled about 2'i!C.arc. higher, and the market closed steady. Short ribs attracted very little atten tion, and trading was light.

Dun & Co's review of trade for the week savs: A closer money market, as was antici pated last week, has checked operations to some extent, i he shipment ol !M,- 000,000 in gold to btiropc bv a firm en gaged in placing two large loans lor for eign governments, and therelorc anxious to prevent a further advance in flank ol lvngland rates was all clearer evidence of the actual demand abroad, because made at a small loss if reckoned at the current rate of exchange. The sudden fall in the rate from $4.88 to $46 was followed bv an upward movement again; . nil it seems not improbable that the exigencies ot the Argentine Republic and tnc placing of the Russian loan may for sometime to come a licet the market here. October disbursements and moderate purchases of bonds have made the market easier for the present, but the rate on call after ris ing from 5V4 to 8 per cent. and even to 30 tier cent, lor some tunc is yet about 7 percent., with no improvement in the commercial loan niaruct, while the treas ury paid ,$2,800,000 more than it took in. The interior demand is everywhere increasing, with sonic stringency at Cleveland, an eat-icr feeling at Boston, and a light money market at Philadel phia. It is an encouraging fact thai all reports represent collections at least as fairly satisfactory ami at most points the situation in that respect is good. Reports of business from all parts of the country show an increased activity on the whole, though in some branches trade is not up to the September level Pittsburg notes higher prices for iron and steel, glass business active with works all operating, and t lie coal tradc dull, waiting water for river movement. Throughout the west excellent crops arc the basis of large buying bv the farming districts and confident 1uk-s as to the trade for the rest of the year. The iron business is in danger of running into an unhealthy "boom," so great is the anx iety of many to stimulate the demand. Several large furnaces are about going into blast, and Southern No. 1 is still sold here at $ll.75; but higher prices than $18 aie paid for desired brands, which arc scarce, and structural plate and wrought piie are strong. Hut of bar there is not much buying, and some mills are inviting orders at $18.05. Kails have actually sold for $20 in considerable iunntily at eastern works, but Philadel phia (piotes $31 and the west corres pondingly higher prices. Cotton manufacture has reason to re joice at the collapse of the Liverpool cor ner, and the price of raw cotton has de clined here "sc., with sales of 34,000 bales. The sugar trust seems not unlikely to follow the copper syndicate and the cot ton corner, at least so far as prices arc concerned. Raw sugar is lower, the de mand tin- consumption lieing slack, and meanwhile heavy sales of the sugar trust stock depressed the price to about DOe, The cotton oil trust is also heavily sold and declined shardly. The coal market improves but slightly in the amount of sales and not at all in prices, so that attacks upon coal carry ing stock have lieen encouraged. Speculation in wheat has weakened and the price is lc. lower, with sales of 4(1,000,000 bushels here. Corn is le. and oats Vic. lower, and pork steady. The general level of prices is nevertheless a shade higher than Sep tember aiidliasadvanccd Viix-i ccnt. since September 1, a result due rather to par tial failure of some crops than to an in crease of the monetary supply. 1 he volume ot moncv in circulation is $15,300,000 larger tliail Scptemlier 1, and the increase in three monthshusbcen $28,(()0,000, but the aggregate is scarcely larger now than it was last De cember.

Pierpont, of Virginia, who is in the city, was asked to-day about the report in the recent dispatches that the Federal government claimed $40,000 from Virginia, said amount lieing part of an appropriation said to lie unaccounted for by the State officials. "Virginia has nothing to do with thai money," said the governor. "It never went into the State treasury, and was not handled by the State's officers. Congress made an appropriation of $2,000,000 to lie used in certain States in suppressing the rebellion. Of this $40,000 was sent by or ordcr of the President to Daniel Lamb to lie disbiiiscd under the order of the government of Virginia for equipping and feeding volunteer soldiers while in the service, and it was so disbursed. Lamb was careful with his vouchers and I was careful with my warrants. Lamb acted as a disbursing officer of the United States, and not a dollar of the money went into the treasury of Virginia. It is nonsense to talk about making Virginia liable, The governor of Virginia was neither a receiving nor a disbursing officer, and the Slate never got any of the money." Waahinton Republican.

One result is the elec tion of four Republicans and one Demo crat to tnc next naiiouai uousc oi Representatives. These new members increase the membership to 330 and a quorum to 160. The Republican strength in the next House will lie 108 and the Democratic strength 102 a Republican majority of six. But 108 is only two more than a bare majority. The Demo crats had about fifteen majority in the last House and were able on but one single occasion to find a quorum of their own. Perhaps a Democratic Governor. MiNNKAl'oi.is, October 4. A Journal Helena special says: The situation this morning shows that Toole (Democrat) is probably elected Governor. The rest of the State officers are all Republican, the senate also; but the House still ques tionable. The Republicans claim the Legislature on joint ballot by three or four majority. All county officials arc elected by the Republicans. The situa tion is still unsettled, Kirat Preabytarlau Church. Services to-morrow (Sabbath,) at 11 o'clock a. m., and 8 p. m.

The quarterly meeting of the Buncombe County Fanners' Alliance was in regular session yesterday, Oct., 4, 8!); and large and harmonious session held. The meeting was called to order bv President Blackwcllat 10 o'clock, and continued in session till late in the afternoon and much business of importance to the mem liers ol the order was considered, much of which can not be given to the public There were several hundred farmers ores enl as delegates, rcpresentim.' thirtv-lour sub-alliances, and some 2,000 members in the county. 1 he officers audexeeutivc committee made llicir reports which showed the alliance to be in favorable condition and on a rapid and substantial increase. There were several resolutions ottered and adopted looking to the wel hire of the agricultural classes, and the bettering of their financial condition which elicited considerable discussion The question which most directly con cerns the fanners at present, and one which excited no little attention, was that ot a warehouse in which to sell leaf tabacco, and for general storage purposes lor agricultural machinery, products, stock, etc. 1 he committee previously appointed composed of D. A. Hlackweli, N. Pliimadore, . W. Nash, C. P. Weaver and Jas. J. Greenwood, after considering tnc matter earcliilly in regard toex)eiisc, convenience, accommodation, etc., re ported that it was impracticable and almost impossible to establish a house separately at so late a period in the season, and the only satisfactory ar rangements they were able to make was to rent for one year an interest in Ray's warehouse on the corner of Patton avenue and Kailev streets, which was offered on very easy terms anil a mine lion ol commissions allowed to all mem bers of the alliance from any county or section. The report was iiuunimoush adopted and the brotherhood was urged to unite in patronizing the alliance ware house, also to ask the eo-opcratiou ol other counties, which they will most likely do. The same committee was re tained and hnpowered with authority to employe the proper alliance nun to assist in the management of the ware house. While these arrangemcnlsnrcthc best that can possibly be effected for the present season il is very important that all alliance members act us a unit in this enterprise and by another year the organization will be in a condition to promise better things and special efforts will lie made to give satisfaction to all. and we are very sure the eoniiuittc will appoint no one who will not see to it that every pound of tobacco offered will bring the producer its value at some sail or on some market. Others beside those of our farmers who raise tobacco are interested in this warehouse, as it will be used for other than tobacco purposes, during other seasons, which is more than one-half of the year, and at all times there will be some one in charge to sec after the farmer's interest, who belong to the order, in their buying and selling. Only an effort is nesseary to show what the alliance men of Western North Caro lina can do if they adhere to the motto of our order and patronize the Alliance warehouse. W. F. Tomi.inson, County Secretary. The Monroe Remitter Is the name ol a new and handsomely printed thiity-two column weekly pub lished in the town of Monroe, 1'nion county, and edited by M. A. 1'nderwood and G. M. Beascly. The salutatory is "short and sweet" but satisfactory, in asmuch as it ranks itself under Demo cratic banners. Monroe is one of our new towns, now rapidly growing in size, business .and population. We recall it when the farm of Mr. Dillon was selected as the county scat, when the court was held in Mr. Dillon's house, and -when our friend C. M. T. McCaulcy, well known as a leading lawyer and able ami frequent member of both houses of the Legisla ture, went there to live, took up his abode in Mr. Dillon's house, and with all his early modesty, fell in love with and married one of Mr. Dillon's daugh ters, and is novJ- one of the "oldest in habitants" of the town now grown to consequence. For Monroe, with its two railroads, is a place of large business, mainly in cotton, and isin fact one of the most prosjierous towns ill interior North Carolina. Success to the Register. Memorial Window. Mr. L. Muiiday showed us yesterday the design for a memorial rose window to be placed in the Christian church in this city as a tribute to the memory of J. M. and liliza Baird. It is the work of J. & R. Lamb, of 5!) Carmine street, New York. To our eve it is strikingly hcnuli ful and appropriate. As the name "rose window" indicates, the outline is circu lar in relation to the top, the bottom presenting a nearly horizontal line. In the i cry centre is a scroll, on which arc inscribed, as on the book of life, "those gone liefore" in the midst of effulgent I liirhl from which the ravs radiate to darken into a rich amlicr as they recede from the central source. The margin is occupied with richly colored emblematic figures, while at each side of the base are two designs illustrative of the Alpha and Omega, the In-ginning and the end, time and eternity. The whole is chaste, taste ful, appropriate and lieaulilul. RANDOM NOTKt Roped In by Ramhllnic Reporter RoamliiK Round the City. The new tobacco sold yesterday brought fair prices on this market. An important meeting of the Y. M. C. A. directors, in Mr. Gudgcr's office, this afternoon at 5 o'clock. Miss Bessie, daughter of Mr. W. II.

AN KPITOMK OK THK THIRD DAY'H PROCEEDINGS, The Day CoiiHumed In Reports From Coinniltleea and In the Kreaeutation of Memorials A Good tthowlnit for MlaaloiiM. Nkw York, October 4. At to-day's session of the general convention of the Protestant Fpiscopal Church, Rev. Dr. Franklin submitted the report of thecom mittec on marriage, and divorce, and asked that it lie read. 1 he house decided against this and the report was presented without being read. Dr. Franklin then moved that the re port be printed, and that its discussion be made the order of the dav for Thurs day next, or as soon as the present sub- lects that aave precedence have been dis posed of. He said the rcuort would make only one printed page. The motion was carried. Dr. Hoffman, of New York, nresenteda report from the committee on canons on ordination, and had it made the order of the day for Wednesday next. t'etitions and memorials were then re ceived, and several memorials favoring inn opposing proportionate representa tion in the general convention. A delegation from Nebraska presented a memorial approved by the bishop of their diocese, asking that the limit of the present area of the diocese lie contracted md that the church shall resume control over the western part of the diocese. Memorials trom Maryland and Miclu ;un delegations protesting against the hange of name of the church were pre sented. The secretary announced that the date for the reception to be given to the delc- ;ates hy the church club had been hanged to the 14th inst. The house of dcniiticsthcn transformed itself into a missionary council, and Bishop Whipple, of Minnesota, in black robes, purple velvet skull can and Durnlc silk ribbon to his eye glasses, took the president's chui.', aiid after calling for the singing of the 284th hymn, offered a prayer. Key. Dr. Langlord, secretary of the board of missions, then presented the tri ennial report of the board. 1 he report wos referred to a -special otumittcc. It showed that the irross re ceipts of the secretary for the past year was $4811,1 2 1. ID, ot which $00,031 was the proceeds of legacies. Of this sum $1 13,342 was devoted to domestic mis sions, $41,102 to Indian missions, $31, 040 to colored missions, and to foreign missions $141,027. Dr. Laugford offered a motion that Ihe board of missions endorse the efforts of the board of managers to secure a site ind build a mission hcadiiuartcrs in this city at a cost of about $200,000. Rev. Dr. Holland, ol St. Lotus, and Bishop Brewer, of Montana, spoke ill favor of the resolution and it was unanimously idopted. Missionary Bishop Morris, of Oregon was then invited to address the board, md he spoke at some length on the work under his charge in Oregon. Wlicn the alternoou session opened. Bishop Pierce, of the Arkansas and In dian Territory, took the platform and told the board of missions of the needs of his diocese and of the work done there duringthc last three years. Key. II. D. 1 avne, delegate from the mission of Japan, spoke of the work done there, and entreated that further aid lie given them. Missionary Bishop Spaulding, ol Colo- ado, told how the property ofthecliurcli in his diocese had grown in value from $100,000 to $1,000,000, since he had lieen stationed there. The number of communicants, he said, had increased from 300 to 3,000 during the same period. uisnopi, arret t, of lexas, said thev needed there sixteen more churches, a chaiel for the Female Seminary at Hal ts, men as missionaries, and money to support them. Missionary Brewer, of Montana, took the platform and told of the need of uid in that field. He said the church had kept in advance of the growth of the State there, but it needed help. A mis sionary imbued with the spirit of Christ was wanted there, I hey would receive i salary sufficient for their support, but thev must be reconciled to hard work md to many deprivations. 1 he missionary council, or board of missions, adjourned until Monday. Fire Insurance. The organization of such an institution in our midst is at present receiving the very serious consideration of some of our leading business men and capitalists. Why not? The increase in the number of houses and other subjects of insurance enlarges every day. The common pru- leuce of interest demands the protection if insurance safe guards, and the result is that annually large sums in the aggre gate are carried away to secure such pro tection. We find in the propositiou noth ing hostile to, or even conflicting with, the interests of the companies now doing business here. They have been able and faithful friends to Asheville. But they, represented as foreign companies, have had the cxicricncc of all active business life that, "comiictition is the life of trade." There is good reason why the business men here should enter into this coniK'tition. There is plenty ot business talent here to successfully direct such an enterprise; and there is also abundant capital if il can lie diverted into this new channel. Ixrt the subject have full and fair con sideration. The New Organ Now lieing erected in the Episcopal church, built by Messrs. Reulien Midmer K: Son, of Brooklyn, N. Y., and which will lie used for the first time on Sunday next, contains twenty-five stops, three of which are mechanical, and two pedal movements operating the great organ stops. It nuniliers in pqies about 1 ,000. The case is of very rich design in black walnut. The front pi)es, which number over fifty, are decorated very handsomely in gold and colors. The organ has been voiced with the greatest care so as to pro duce all the musical effects possible in this size instrument, and has all the modern mechanical attachments. Funeral Notice. The friends of Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Fitch, and daughter Bessie, are requested to attend the funeral of the latter from the Western hotel at 2.30 this afternoon. -v..v..')-.
