I-"lrt It Is a Kettle Drum, Theu a Uass Drum, Tlien a Fife, aud Tben The Jail and Flneg-Ula-torv of lutcrestluic Cases. Testimony in the csisc of li. B. WamiiS: Co. vs. Crapo, Gonzales and Pcnland was being heard in the Superior court yester day before Judge Armfield when the notes of a band in the street were heard, and a number of persons reached for their hats and left the room, while others went to the open windows on the north side ot the house and leaned out to hear the music. Amid the confusion the judge directed the sheriff to keep order and to have the windows closed, and the par tics therein to take seats. Juiet was re stored and several of those who had gone out returned; the witness resumed, when the beating of a kettle drum was again heard, the sound increasing until it was apparent that it was in the street alongside the building. Another exodus of the crowd occurred and the same rush to the windows. Judge Armticldat once notified a deputy sheriff to arrest the man beating the drum. In a couple of minutes Deputy Hampton appeared with the drummer. About the same instant the noise of a vigorous pounding of the bass drum was heard, and the Tudue. obviously much aunoyed, ordered the arrest of the beater. The deputy van ished, but soon made return that he had been unable to find the offender. Then the names of all the offenders were di rected to be taken, which was done by Deputies Morgan and Hampton at the register of the Grand Central hotel. Deputy Hampton stated to the Judge that he had obeyed the order of the court in notifying the baud to stop playing and that all had done so except the drummer, who kept right on beating af ter he went up to him and told him to stop. The drummer gave his name as esse Iiailev and said that he was not he leader of the band and that he did not stop drumming because the leader had not told him to do so. This in answer to questioning by the Judge. fudge Armtield then directed the clerk to enter on the docket that the drummer be confined in jail until o'clock in the evening and pay the costs and to remain in custody until the costs were paid. At this juncture Manager Dol son of the Harlow Minstrel com pany, appeared before the court and stated that his band had not understood the direction of the deputy and that they did not know the court was in session; but the Judge said he would make them understand the mat ter, and as a deputy called out for the bouse to take seats and be quiet Dolson retired and Ilailcy was taken to jail and locked in a cell where The Citizen saw m half an hour later, lie said that he did not know the building where he was arrested was the court house, that there was an immense crowd on the streets and that he was near a pair of restive mules hitched to a wagon when a man touched his shoulder and said he should stop drumming. He supposed the re quest was because of the frightened ani mals, and barely kept the drumsticks tapping so as to give the men the step when the same man said " ' Well, I'll arrest you;' and here I am." A lew moments later M. I. Robertson of Buncombe was before the court for disturbing the session by blowing a fife and he too was sent to jail and a ca pias issued for officer T. K. Yeatman of the police force; the latter tvas subse quently brought in and Robertson brought up from the lail. when he identi fied Yeatmau as the man who, he said, had told him to go over by the court house and play his fife. Kobcrtson, it appeared, went to the officer and said he had bought the flute to play Dixie with the band, and catman said, jokingly or thoughtlessly: "Well, you had better go out there by that wagon, where the band was." Chief Harkins then asked the patrol man to hnd the city engineer, and he turned off to obey the direction. Shortly after he saw the flute player, but did not know that he had been playing, and as he started towards him the deputy took him away. Kobcrtson s testimony was corrobor ated by witnesses, and the officer made a statement in which he disclaimed any intention of disturbing the court. Chief Harkins appeared for the officer and v W. Jones, Esq., and Hon. H. A. Gudger appealed to the judge that the ruling might be postponed until today when they would have affidavits ready that would give a better understanding of the case. Mr. 1 ones also asked that he be given time to present a disclaimer Judge Armfield in denvinK the appeals made said that he had been greatly dis turbed by noises from the street lor the past two days, and that, there had not been the respect paid the court that was necessary; that an idea seemed to prevail that there was a circus eoing on, and further that he was determined to put a stop to such things. He then imposed a tine ot titty dollars upon Officer catman and said that lie must remain in custody until it was paid. Mr. catman asked the judge how much time would be given Him to procure the amount of his fine, and was told that he mnst cither get security or pay the fine. Judge Arm- held adding to Yeattnan, who was lean' ing on the Judge's desk, "Get away from here, get away from here." A little later Mr. Yeattnan gave security lor the pay mcnt of the fine by next court. Lawyers 1. A. Cuiumings and Henry B. Stevens appeared before Judge Arm field in lehall of Drummer Bailey after he hud been committed to lail, but were informed that their client would have to remain where he was until 6 o'clock. At the latter hour Bailey was released upon payment of $2.0o costs. One Dollar and Costa. Yesterday attcrnoon fete Cavanagh the general agent for "Monte Carlo, whiuh conies to the Grand Thursday evening, was arrested by Special Police' man V. II. Deavcr for violating the or dinance against posting bills on tele phone poles about the city. Mr. Cava nngh was before Mayor I'atton this moramg and stated that he bad been told by one of Fire Alarm Superintend cnt Waddell's employes that he could post bills on all poles except those painted red. Mayor I'atton fined Mr. Cavanagh $1 and costs, $2 in all. Death of col. A. J, Boid. Keidsvillk, N. C, Aug. 10. Col. A.

The ar rivals at the Mountain l'ark hotel con tinue increasing very liberally daily, and pleasure parties are the order of the day. Last night an intellectual entertainment, conceived by Mesdames Parker and Rogers, was most successfully carried out. The program consisted of an over ture by orchestra, a war story of the Ya.oo" Valley, as it really happened, ly Maj. Poindcxter of Mississippi, a guitar and harmonica simultaneous perform ance by W. E. E. Aycock of South Caro lina, an entertaining reading; by Justice McGowan of South Carolina, followed by a most instructive discourse on prac tical and theoretical results affected on human hair by the use of certain com pounds, etc., by the famous professor, Dr. Prentiss of Washington, D. C. Mrs. Reiley gave a charming recital on tbe piano, and the inimitable Professor Mass of Washington, I. C, kept the large audience roaring with his match less burlesques. Professor Dietrich showed his great skill on the mandolin, assisted by Miss Marie Mainard. A beautiful recitation followed by modest, sweet Miss Anna Aldrich of Ai ken, S. C, and a few very pretty songs ny lur. carpenter ot 1'cnnsy Ivania was followed by a humorous, pointed and beautifully conceived reading, her own witty composition, by Mrs. Jas. Parker of Raleigh, N. C, and a very pretty reci tation by that little prodigy, Missie 'annie Rogers. The whole impromptu affair irottcn up on the spur of the moment gave the many guests of the Mountain Park ho tel an evening of much real genuine pleas ure and instruction, to be ottcn repeated it is to be hoped by the many who at tended. SPOKE FOR THE SOUTH. A New member Hakex a Reputa tion. Washington, Aug. 19. The demands upon Speaker Crisp for recognition in the pending silver debate have grown to uch an extent that, in order to accom modate even a large proportion, not to say all, who desire to speak on the silver question, night sessions will be a neces sity, and they will, it is said, be held, be ginning at 8 o'clock tonight. Mr. McCrcary, Democrat, of Kentucky- opened the silver debate in the House today, speaking in favor of the repeal of the silver purchase law. He would not hold that act as a hostage for free coin- ge. Let free coinage stand on its own merits. But this was not the time for the United States to adopt free coinage. The only act which could lead to the free coinage of silver was an interna- lonal agreement, and the only wav to reach that agreement was the repeal of the purchasing clause. Mr. catchings. Mississippi, followed McCreary and declared himself squarely in support of the unconditional repeal of the Sherman act. He would vote against any proposition, directly or indirectly, looking to the free coinage of silver at any ratio that could be suggested. In the House yesterday Mr. Sibley, a new member from Pennsylvania, said that in his opinion the salvation of tbe country depended upon the people who were living west ol the Allegbanics and south of the Mason and Dixon line. Sibley spoke for more than two hours and not for a moment did he lack the at tention of his colleagues, and in his maiden speech he took front rank with the orators and humorists of the House. JAPAN AND HAWAII. Doast By the Former tliat Tbey Have Delayed Annexation. Vancouver, B. C, Aug. 10. The Ca nadian Pacific Railway company's steamship Empress of Japan, which ar- sived at this port yesterday brings the news that Mainicbi Shim- bun has been writing in Japan on the Hawaiian question. He remarks that Hawaii ought to be grateful to the apanese residents, tor it was the latter that have thus tar prevented, and will in the future no doubt prevent Hawaii from being annexed to the United States. Had there not been Japanese laborers on the sugar plantations, the Mainichi thinfts that Sprcckelsanuother influential sugar men would not have so strongly opposed annexation. He goes on to exhort the Japanese in Hawaii to save money and to cultivate their minds so that they may be able to obtain commanding posi tions in that countrv. to which thev are entitled by their uumcrcial strength, if uot by anything else. N. . Sun. A JAIL STILL The MoHt luiceiilouM Prisoner On Record. Bikmingiiam, Ala., Aug. IS.

The still was hidden under a table and was improvised of a bucket in which were a piece of curled glass pipe as a worm, three tin boxes as tcrmenters and a spittoon as a furnace.

RIPPLE IN THE CLOUDS SOME SILVER, OR GOLD, LIN INO SHOWING, Tlie Business situation a Little Improved, Savn a Good Author ity In The Premises. New Y'ork, Aug. 19. K. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: There is a ripple in the clouds. Faint and yet definite signs of improvement are all the better because they come not from possibly delusive hopes or from monetary foreign aid, but from the good sense and the wonderful recuperative power of the people themselves. Busi ness is trying to go ahead without wait ing for Washington. Imported gold ($9,000,000 or more during the week) does not go to the right spot, but the people are creating a home-made cur rency for themselves, by using certified checks in paying hands, selling local ac counts and purchasing grain and cotton. 1 he bank circulation has increased $2,000,000, but the decrease on deposits of national banks alone, May 4 to July 1, was $193,169,588, and during the past month withdrawals have also been heavy. Little money comes back as yet from timid hoards, and the oaralvsis of exchange is nearly as complete as ever, but that very fact pushes each section and city into relying more on itself and less on the government and on Wall street. No such shrinkage resulted at any time in the five weary years after tbe panic of 1873, as has already appeared in the great industries. Pig iron does not rally but sells at $14 and $13 at Pittsburg for No. 1, though the weekly output has been reduced 4G per cent, since May 1st. the more hopeful signs which ap pear should be interpreted with full understanding that a genuine revival ot uusiness win not come until a larcrer de mand for goods and better conditions otherwise enable a greater proportion of tbe shops and mills to employ and remunerate labor as usual. As yet the works closing exceed in number those resuming, and the failures continue each week to restrict the number ot firms able to spare in the cmolovmcnt of hands and the transaction of busi ness. The failures this week number 445 in the United States agair.st 192 for the same week last year. THEV HAD THE: ASSETS. But They Could Not Realize On Them. St. Louis, Aug. 19. The Greely-IUirn- ham Grocery company made a voluntary assignment this morning to C. B. Burn ham, junior member of the firm. The as sets approximate $300,000 to $400,000; liabilities between $200,000 and $300,- 000. The cause of the assignment is in ability to realize on assets as a result of the present bnancial stringency. Accord ing to the statement of officers of the company the assignment is really a liquidation in court instead of out ot it. The company is one of the oldest and largest concerns of the kind in the West. Alay loth last they decided to go out ot business, but owing to the tightness of money it has been found impossible to liquidate the outstanding indebtedness. PENSIONS. A Large Number ot Suspensions Will Test the Question. Washington, D. C, Aug. 19. Col. Charles D. Lincoln, late deputy commis sioner of pensions and a prominent can didate for commander-in-chief of the G. A. R., is authority for the statement that an effort is soon to be made to prove through the courts that the sus pensions of pensions granted under the Act of June 27, 1890, are illegal. Marion, Ind., Aug. 18. Twenty-two pensioners at the soldiers' home were notified yesterday that thir pensions had been suspended. Over 100 at that institution have been dropped from the pension rolls under the new administra tion. Silver In Bolivia. New York, Aug. 17. A correspondent in La Paz writes that there is a serious crisis in Bolivia on account of the fall iu the price of silver. Mine owners arc threatening to stop operations. In or der to prevent this tbe government will ask congress to authorize the col lection of import duties in gold hcreatter and to remove the existing export duties on silver. Shot To Heath. Paul'Cah, Ky.,Aug. 19 Last Tuesday a negro tramp went to the farm of Al bert Horn and asked for food. Mrs. Horn was alone and the tramp assaulted her.
