Raleigh, N. C, Jan. 16 Special.
It seems to be the disposition ol
i mnnv the members to watch the treas

I ate. and esnccinllv McDowell of Meck
lenburg, and Davis of Haywood, are
giving close attention to and objecting
to unnecessary and extravagant expen
ditures.
The larger portion of the bills intro
duced have been either of a local charac
ter or changes of present statutes. Some
ot those introduced, in which the people
of vour county are interesli-d, are those

lookinsr to the election of criminal court
iudizes and solicitorj by popular vote,
instead of bv the justices of the peace. A

addressed to Speaker Overman, from a

vote on the temperance question. This

Rai.eigii, Jan. 16. The Committee of
Arrangements of the Halcigh Chamber
of Commerce vill recommend to the
Road Congress, January 1 9, the follow
ing programme fur discussions:
1. The benefit of good and permanent
highways and the values saved by their
use.
2. Is there any need at this time for
the improvement of our public roads?
The special reasons therefor.
3. The kind ot roadways neeueu in
various parts of North Carolina, and the
best manner of keeping them in repair.
4. Wavs and means tor building good

The committee hopes that delegates
and others who have given these matters
particular thought will come prepared
to submit papers before Congress under
either of these heads. It iscxpectcd that
the proceedings of the Congress will be

Memphis, Tenn., an. 10. Never in
the history of the Central South has
there been so much suffering from cold
weather as at present. All the rivers are
blocked with ice and snow, rendering
passage over them impossible. Many
trains are late, some abandoned by their
suffering crews. Most iutense suffering
is prevalent among the mountaineers.
The snow is from ten inches to three feet
deep in eastern Tennessee and western
North Carolina and eastern Kentucky,
and all kinds of labor are suspended.
Knoxvillk, Tenn., Jan. 10. Not for
thirty years has there been such severe
weather as now prevails in this section.
The thermometer is far below zero, and
dozens or more of people are reported
frozen to death. Business of all kinds is
suspended, and the united efforts of city
officials and church members are being
utilized to aid the poor. All trains are
late and it is difficult to run them on
anything near schedule time.

In the House there are ciuite a number
of very youthful members; live less man
25 vears old: W. li.unmesoi wane, ana
S. Erwin of Cleveland, 22; F. L. Merritt
of Wake. 23; W. R. Eureol Gates, 2.
and F. L. Fuller ot Durham, nearly zo.
In the Senate R. B. McLaughlin of
Iredell, aced 27. is the youngest man and
he is followed closely by J. A. Brown of
Columbus; E. F. McRae of Robeson,
and also I. W. McLauehlin of Cumber
land. The latter keeps one eye on the
ladies' gallery.
Revs. U. W. Newell oi iTankiin ana j,
G. Burch of Alamance, represent the
ministrv in the Senate.
A number ol the meniners nave ior-
merlv been connected with the press,
amone them Senators Potter of Beau
fort and Erwin of Shelby.
'How many preachers are there in the
House ?" asked a gentleman a few days
ago. Tlie reply was: "tour, inciuaing
lien. Bob Vance, who is us good a
preacher as anybody." All three of the
ordained preachers are leading members
of the Primitive Baptist church, l ney
are Elder Rone, of Beaufort; Elder Law
rence, of Martin, and Elder McLawhorn,
of Pitt.
The most prominent members in the
House are Gen. R. B. Vance of Buncombe
and Hon. W. H. Kitchiti of Halifax, both
ex-Congressmen and tried and true Detn
ocrats.
The Senate has four uhvsicinns Urs.
T. B. Twittv. W. P. Mercer, M. A. Rov-
ii 1 1 and Wm. Merritt.
Only three of the present "Tar-heel
Solons" are colored, one in the Senate
and two in the House.
The average age of the members will
hardlv exceed 35 years.
Senator J onn s. eranor was toe nrsc
and only Democratcvcr elected in Wilkes,
and this is not altogether due to the
fact that Dr. Tyre York bad returned to
his old party. 11'. F. T.
the caucus of Democrats to nominate a
United States Senator will be brief and
that Knight will be named unless Bragg
of Fond du Lac.and Mitchell of Milwau
kee, succeed in forming a coalition for
some dark horse.
Knight claims thirty-three votes on the
6rst ballot with a sufficient number of
members favoring him for the second
choice to exceed 4-2, necessary to
nominate. The springing ot a dark
horse might deplete tbe Ashland man's
ranks, and it ij thought by many that
he is ovcr-sangviine.
The death ol Senator 1-rcd Home ot
Cedarsbtirg yesterday, takes one vote
from Mitchell's and one from Bragg's
list of second choice legislators, but it
does not reduce the number of tac 4-2
votes necessary to make a majority of
the caucus. Eighty-two ballots would
have been cast with Horn; his death
leaves 81 , but still 4-2 votes is a majority.

cent strike of Miners.
Hkrun, un. 10. Whatever may be
the future intentions of the Social Demo
crats to inaugurate a general strike
among the German coal miners, there
can be no question that tne present
difficulty, that had its origin in a So
cialist desire to spread their doctrines
and gain converts has resulted in an
enormous failure. Notwithstanding the
efforts of certain malcontents to keep as
many of the miners as possible trom re
turning to work, the men who quit their
employment some days ago are anxious
to return, in me ijciseniurcnen uisinti
all the miners, with the exception of
those suspected of haying been implicated
in the lawlessness that characterized the
strike are at work, and no further
trouble is apprehended.
Neither Illinois Nor 'Wisconsin
Libel v to be Represented lu It
Washington, Jan. 13. Unless Mr.
Cleveland changes his mind during the
next few weeks the chances are that III i
uois nor Wisconsin will have a represen
tative in the Cabinet. A Senator who
has been recently in consultation with
Mr. Cleveland reports to his anxious
colleagues here that both of the Western
States which threw their electoral votes
to the Democratic column are 1-kelv to be
left in the cold as far as representation in
the Cabinet is concerned. The only man
who has been seriously pressed upon the
President-elect from Illinois is Col. Mor.
rison, and Wisconsin's one candidate is
Mr. Wall. As t nines now stand Mr,
Cleveland doesn't want either of them in
his Cabinet.
As for Illinois, Mr. Cleveland believes
that State already has sufficient honor
under the government. He is represented
as saying that Illinois has the Vice-Presidency,
the Chief Justiceship, and at the
present time the Chairmanship of tbe
Committee on Ways and Means in the
House, and that this was enough for
any btate. Possibly this is a mere ex
cuse for leaving Illinois off his Cabinet
slate. His objections to Wall and Mor
rison are not entirely personal, ueo-

LiHuon, Jan. 10. Mist Frances Ann
Kemble (Mrt. Pierce Butler) the well
known actress, died today.

time. Her condition was not regarded
as seriout, and her death was unex

of Miss Kemble t father was buried.
Caucus of Republicans to Deter
mine au Order of Business.
Washington. Jan. 10. There was a
caucus ot Kepuuucan .senators tins
morning to arrange the order of busi
ness to follow the anti-option bill, which,
it is expected, will be disposed of Wednes
day. Nothing final was done because
of the report of certain Senators to bind
the c incus to take up the silver report
resolution immediately after the anti
option bill. As was expected the silver
Senators bitterly resisted tins attempt
and the caucus adjourned to meet tomorrow.
The House today is engaged in a dis
cussion of the resolution calling on t he
various executive departments having
the matter in charge for a statement ot
the amount of Southern war claims
allowed and disabled by them.

vania railroad lan into a freight train
at Laroylc, forty miles from this city,
about three o'clock this morning. Tire
man Metzens was instantly killed and
Engineer Cannon seriously injured. Nine
passengers were hurt. The accident was
caused by the misunderstanding of an or-
derbv the freight train crew.
Carlisle I lie Man.
Cincinnati, O., Jan. 10. Senator Car
lisle, while visiting at bis former home in
Covington, Ky., talked freely about his
acceptance of the office of Secretary
of the Treasury, lie said that it was im
portant that bis success should beelected
in time to take bis scat March , and
that be would mail his resignation after
he returned to Washington.
A Yale Man In a poorbouse.
Grand RArms.Mich., Jan. 14-. Arthur
Johnston, seventy-three years old and a
graduate of Yale, is dying in Kent
county poorbouse. He speaks several
languages and has Deen a protcssor in
two small colleges. In the booming
days of Montana be went there and
acquired $500,000. Bad mining specu-
graphical considerations have much
weight, and just now the chief trouble
which Mr. Cleveland is struggling with
is to fit the geography of the country to
the men he has under consideration for
tbe various places.
Although it is only seven weeks to in
auguration day. he has not made much
progress with bis Cabinet. Carlisle and
Laraont are the only certainties. Don
Dickinson has once declined to be Secre
tary of State, and Mr. Cleveland is after
him again. The friends of tbe Michigan
statesman think he will succumb this
time and take the place. While this re
mains unsettled Mr. Cleveland naturally
has some geographical embarrassments
as to Illinois and Wisconsin. To add to
the complication, it is believed that the
post now held by lerry Kusk has been
offered to ex-Gov. Gray, of Indiana, and
if Dickinson should accept and Gray de
cide to become Secretary of Agriculture,
that would make three Cabinet officers
in a row Kentucky, Indiana, and Mich
igan and render it well nigh impossible
to take two more from the adjoining
States of Illinois and Wisconsin.
Mr. Cleveland can make no further
progress with his Cabinet till be hits
upon a Secretary of State. There is lit
tle reason to doubt that Don Dickerson
will be tbe man, and that Wisconsin and
Illinois will be left out in the cold. N. Y.
