The onitions by tlit reprcscntitaves of tin liialctic ami liiunthropic Literary smictits were de livered in Memorial hull before a hire amlieiiec last night. The speakers were: S. F.

Wnddell's oration on William Lawrence Saunders, of whom the speaker said : I be (in to do justice by declariim it to be my deliberate conviction that our state has never produced a son who was more intensely North Caroliuan in every fiber of his being, or one who rendered more continuous, unselfish, devoted, nnd valuable service to her than did William Lawrence Saunders service, too, a large part of which was performed bv him du ring years of ceaseless physical pain and suffering. Indeed his whole lilc from bovhood to thcdnyol hisdcntli.through evil and irood report, in adversitT and prosperity, was devoted to the work ol sustaining and delending her honor, and the welfare of her people. If, therefore. inv North Carolinan ever deserved to ue remembered with gratitude for his public service it was he; and it the state had not persistently from the beginning of her existence refused to recognize bv some permanent memorial any obliga tion lor such services by any ol her sons, we might indulge the hope that she would erect a monument to his memory She stands alone among civilized govern menu in Ibis respect, for she has never erected n single memorial stone to show the world that she ever produced a son worthv of remembrance." Col. Waddell closed ns follows: "Kc- ccntlv 1 stood, nl night, on the narrow peninsula where thirty-seven vears ao fleet nnd fort proclaimed in thunder the name of Fort Fisher. To the eastward heaved the sea. on whose rolling billows the risinc moon poured a Hood of silvery light, while opposite, and hanging low above the shining river in the limitless depths of the western heavens, glowed the serene 01I1 of the evening planet whose glories heightened as it nearctl the Ivuizni lletween lay the long line of rat'ged mounds over which I lie tide ol battle ebbed and flowed when the ex piring hopes of a brave people were for ever enlingtiished. llencatli wave and earth mound alike patriot bones were bleaching, mute witnesses of the horrors of civil strife and of the emptiness of hu man ambition. 1 Iiglier rose the goddess of the night, wider grew the sheen upon the water:-', lower and more luminous sank the star. A solemn stillness, un broken save by the voice oi the night wind and the sea reigned supreme. "A more beautiful or a more impres sive spectacle never greeted the gaze of one who looks reverently nnd wonderingly upon the splendors of the physical uni verse, nnd as I watched that evening planet sinking to its rest a voice within me whispered; 'So too to the patriot's eye there is no vision more grateful than the career of him who, forgetful of self nnd mindful only of the rigid s and liberties ol his lellownien, gives his life to their service, and. with the lustre of his virtues ever brightening to the end, passes from their view." I KICIC KlM)H(iAUTi:N, Yearly Report of the (ionil Work Iroriecut.'I In AHlievllle. Mrs. O. M. Quaylc, superintendent of the Asheville Free Kindergartens, makes the following yearly report of the prog ress ol the work in the city : "Central kindergarten was opened September lo, 1801, with an enrollment of 30, Misses Turner and Kerr, teachers.

"In nil ol the Kindergartens there was a steady increase 111 attendance uniii Christmas, which was celebrated by pub lic exercises and n tree at a union meet- imi at the Central. The children were given a free ride on the electric cars. The tree anil cuts to the clnuiren were pro cured throimh the efforts of Miss Slack and the normal class. Many ol the gilts were made by the children, intended for parents ami menus. "The continued wet weather in Jan uary caused a marked decrease in attend anec, which was overcome in the sue ecedine months. "1 hrough the iiillucnee ol Misses black and Scott, there is a growing interest on the part of the parents in the Riverside district. In the Doubledav district the demand for admission is grcntcrthan the capacity of the kindergartens. Much of the success of the work in the kindcrgar ten this year is due to the untiring nnd faithlul work of the normal class, both in securing and keeping regular and full attendance, ns well as doing conseien. tious and effective work with the chil dren. The kindergartens were closed May lit, with appropriate exercises, "During the year contributions to the amount of $1,302.05 were made by the association Irom citizens and Iricnds of the cause, to whom the thanks of the as sociation are extended for their liberal support."

An appalling acci dent has occurred at the famous Ilirks- berg silver mine near I'rzibrani in Hohe- iiua. 1 tie timoers used 111 supporting the roof ol the mine caught fire. The flames spread from one part of the work ings to another until the whole of the mine was a mass ol lire. The escape of the men working in the mine was cut off. After a long struggle the fire was ex tinguished and volunteers went into the mine to rescue any one who might have lived through the lire. The galleries were found to be badly obstructed with charred timbers and injch difficulty was found in making progiess in any direction from the shalt. The rescuing party found 110 trace ol life, but they discovered fourteen bodies which were sent to the surface. The volunteers arc still at work in the nunc. 500 men were working in the mine, and all but forty sueeeded in making theiresenpe. Many of these were seriously injured. They were brought to the sur face. NO SNAP CONVENTIONS THAT H-1III.I.'8IN I lillltl'ARY ui'.NoiNci:ii.

After the re assembling of the anti-snap convention yesterday afternoon the platlorm was read and adopted. The denouncement of the mid-winter convention was greeted with tremendousapplausc. Reference to Grover Cleveland ns being able to carry New York state also moved the conven tion to its feet in n storm of applause, while the allirumtion that the conven tion and its constituency would support the nominee at Chicago, whoever he might be, wasgreeled by a burst of ring ing cheers. ludgc Sunilerlm, o!

Mr. FaircliiU then read the list of electors named at the Al bany convention in February and those nominations were endorsed. The work of the committee on dele gates was approved and thus the tics tion of a protest or contest had been de termined and the course of the contest and demand at Chicago for the seventv- two scats ol New York had been fixed upon. The olai form as adopted first de nounces the republican party, its billion dollar congress and its Mckinley bill and ford bill, and contrasts with it drover Cleveland's nomination.

If he says something, Harrison may be rcnominn ted. If Mr. Illume is silent, he will De nominated. At present the Icelm? is that Mr. Illaine will say nothing, and that he will he nominated. Another thing which makes it appear likely that Mr. Illaine will acccpl the presidential nomination is the fact that after Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, had two hours' consultation with Mr. lilaiuc yesterday the senator asserted with more vigor than ever that Mr. lilaiuc would certainly accept if nomi nated, and that he had reason und ground for his statement. A PKTITION. rite (ireen ;.ocern to AHk u Re- penl From the Aldermen A petition is being circulated among the green grocers of the city, nski.ig the board of aldermen to rcpciil the ordi nance requiring all who handle country produce to g'i into the new market house. There arc about seventy produce deal crs in the city, and it is believed that al, will sign the petition. These dealers take the position that there is not room (or all in the market, and that to force them to give up the produce trade will force many of them out ol business, ns tlieir profits on their other lines of goods will not be sufficient to pay rents and other expenses. The petition will be presented to board on next Friday afternoon. let UNDER A TAMI'A LIVE 0K A WARM CONVENTION IN FLORIDA. If II ;ets Too Warm the Chairman Can Readily Take to the Woods Near Hy The Alliance Mlichtlly Concerned. Tampa, I'la., June 1. The democratic convention meets at 12noon today. It will probably be in session lor four days and will be the hottest fight in the political history of Florida. Nearly all the delegates were here last night and caucusing at once began in earnest. The two greatest contests are over the gubcrnational nomination and the seating of one or the other of two contesting delegations from Duval county. The victory of one or the other means the nomination or defeat of Judge Mitchell for governor. An unexpected turn was given to affairs last night. Al liance matters have been very quiet for a year past, but last night in a caucusof the alliance delegates, numbering over one hundred, nearly half of them insisted that the convention indorse the (Jcala demands and the St. Louis platform, and a bard light has been precipitated. If the alliance delegates can ngree upon a policy they can control the convention, since they hold the balance of power between the two factions of the party. This action of the alliance makes the light a triangular one. Mitchell will probably go betore the convention with l'.K) votes out of -HO, and he is persistent in asking a nomination only under the two-thirds rule, but bis followers are divided on that nuttier. At 11 o'clock this morning there was a rumor that Mitchell s Inends wil de cline to present his name on account ol his personal opposition to the majority rule. 1 he wigwam 111 w hich the convention is to lie Held is an unique allair. it an open air structure on the Fort llrooke reservation with only a roof.
