C. orfolk Ac South MARK HANNA DENOUNCED Ohio Traveling Men Severely Condemn Him. Virginian Pilot. Strong resolutions,denouncing Hacnaism and trusts, were passed at a mass meeting of traveling salesmen Friday night. Every wholesale and jobbing house which sells to the city trade was represented by one or more men. Of the total of 140 salesmen, a large majority were present. In selling goods to the retail stores of the city the local salesmen have had bitter occas sion to rue the existence of tausts. Those affecting the staple commodities, used in ev ery household of necessity, have caused prices to rise steadily for the past year. The work ot the salesmen has, therefore, been made harder, while in no in stance have their salaries been increased proportional to the extra work involved, and the in creased expense of maintaining their families. The following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted : Whereas, during the last eigh teen months trusts have been foimed without number until to-day we find every article of household use controlled by trusts and combinations; and Whereas, by comparing prices of 1899 as against those of 1898 we find an advance of fiom 50 to 150 per cent, in every house hold necessity; and Whereas, the Hon. Marcus A. Hanna, the political godfather of the Republican party, taices great pleasure in declaring trusts a good thing; therefore, Resolved. That we denounce the Republtcan party as the A. - mother of trusts, and pledge our best efforts to defeat Hannaism at the polls on November 7th, 1900. CASTOI1IA.

Fighting Lime-Bone Fires on The Docks. Tide Above That of August Hur ricane. Newberne, N. C, October 31. (Special.) The storm that raged here all day yesteiday with constantly increasing vio ience reached its greatest height about midnight when the wind blew with such force car; y ing before it broken glass, pieces of tin, shingles and shutters torn from their fastenings that it was dangerous to be out in the streets. Early in the night the water rose so high that the power house had to shut down and the city was in darkness. The streets were arlood. Horses were taken from stables in the lower part of the. city and brought up town for safety. During the night three alarms of fire were turned in, lime in the warehouses on the river front having burst nit a blaze and threatening the destruction of much property. The fire men and citizens worked he roically in water waist deep, while drays were engaged in hauline oft" eoods, barrels of lime were rolled into the river and in many cases boats were used to convey from the flooded stores goods that the water would otherwise have ruined. The tide was two feet higher here than during the August hurricane. Small boats were thrown into the public streets. Many tons of salt and sugar in bags melted and ran into the river. Eight saw mills are shut down to-day, and the river is full ot floating cotton and lumber. Nothing has been heard from the coast country. At wrightsvi le Sound the storai was terrific all night, the tide rose up into the yard at At lantic view Hotel and breakers rolled up almost to the hotel, and several families were forced to leave ther cottages on the sound and come to the hotel for safety. Every dweller 011 the sound spent a sleepless night. Much fear is entertained for the safety of the cottages Wrightsville Beach. RELIEVED OF J50,000. A Daring Crime on a Busy Corner of St. Louis. THE POLICE BAFFLED The Secretary and Treasurer of the Broadway Cable Line relieved of Near ly $50,000, Kills Sister-in-Law Then self. Him- cn St. Louis, Mo., October 30. Robert B. Jenning, secretary and treasurer ot the Broadway Cable Line, was robbed of $1,043 in cash and $4,7 50 in checks while standing on the rear platform of a Broadway car at Broadway and Washington avenues to-day. The police at tempted to suppress the facts and as a consequence the news was not generally known until three or tour hours later in the day. The robbery, committed in broad daylight, in one of the busiest corners of St. Louis, is regarded as one of the most dar ing crimes in the history of lo cal police annals. WATCHED BY ROBBERS. Mr. Jenning had just drawn the money from the bank, in tending to take it to the railroad company's offices on North Broadway to pay off the men. The robbers evidently knew this. THE ATTACK. As Mr. Jenning was getting on the car two men approached and one of them jostled him. This was done to attract his at tention while the other man picked his pockets. Mr. Jen ning soon discovered that he had been robbed, but the mtii had made their escape. When he learned of his loss he reported it to the police and five detec tives were immediately dispatch ed on the case. The robbers, however, had secured a good lead and the police could find no trace of theui. Payment on the checks, which were drawn on the Boatmen's Bank, has been stopped by the railroad company. ROBBED ONCE LEFORE. Mr. Jenning was robbed of a large amount several years ago under somewhat similar circum stances. Two men boarded a Broadway car and grabbed a satchel he had at his feet con taining 4,000. The robbers were captured and sent to the penitentiary. A GOOD SHOWING. V inston, N. C, Nov. 1. Par ticulars were received here to day of a double murder near Lovelace, Wilkes county. John Coleman shot and instantly kill ed his sister in law, Mrs. Dora Chambers, and then placed the gun to his head and fired, kill ing himself. Mrs. Chambers had been living near Coleman and the two were said to be quite in timate. Coleman's wife died suddenly last February, and there was suspicion of foul play. It is said Mrs. Chambers had threatened to tell what she knew oi the matter and this caused Coleman to kill her and then himself. Both leave several children. A Frightfut Blunder.

The ignorant negro who pays not a cent in the Treasury as taxes whose life is the his tory of a criminal wields as great influence in our elections as the most intelligeut taxpayer of our State. His vote kills that of the of the gook citizen. It is well to thus place equal power in the hands of the vie ious to destroy and to always threaten. Smithfield Herald.

The westbound passenger train on the Plant system due at 1 p. m., was completely wrecked in the Yard here to day by running into an open switch and colliding with loaded freight cars. The train was behind time and was running fifty miles an hour at' the time of the accident. The mail and baggage cars were torn into splinters, but miraculously no one was hurt. The mail car was thrown completely through a freight car loaded with turpen tine. It is thought the accident was due to a defective switch. The mail agent was unhurt not withstanding his car was liter ally torn to pieces over him. Two passenger coaches were thrown from the track on their sides but not a soul received a trh. The fireman was pitched; through the cab wins dow head first but suffered not even an abrasion. The rolling stock is smashed practically out shape, but there is not a drop of blood on it. Mr. D. A. Tompkins, of Char lotte, seems to know mure of matters pertaining to cotton and cotton mills than any one, says in his late book that North Carolina raises 550,000 bales of cotton and manufacturers 450, 000 bales. With onr increase in cotton mills, we will ere long have to draw on some other States to get cotton to run them. Concord Standard.
