To establish a reform school for the white and colored youthful crim inals of the State, to be located in toe city that will make the best of fer of money, lands, ttc. Mr. McCaskey said he introduced the bill sjme time ago, it was one of the demands of the Populist Party, and that he was glad nearly all the newspapers were in favor of it. It was an institution that North Caro ina was sadly in need of. Mr. Alexander said that this was one of the issues of the last cam paigc. That he favored it, bat since coming here he thought it would be wise to postpone the matter until some future time, as at present the State was not able financially io ea tablith such schools.! On motion of Mr. McCaskey it was made a special order for (Wed nesday) at 12 o'clock m. The time for the special order set for to d y having arrived, it was taken up. To provide for the gen eral supervision of railroad, steam boat, canal boat, express and tele graph companies. Tne gist of the bill is to make the passenger rates 2) cents for first-class and 2 cents for eecond-cliss per mile, and to re duce the freight rates in proportion. It also forbids any issue of free pas ses to public officers. Mr. Butler spoke at some length on the bill, saying that if rates were reduced the railroads and other com panies would be benefited because they would have much more busi ness, more people would ride and more people would ship goods. He called on the Populists to support the bill, as it was one of the de mands. Mr. Anthony said that if the rates were reduced tho corporations would re luce the pay of their employes (the poor one- and they were get ting now only enough to live on. Therefore he opposed the bill. Mr. Scales said there were several things in the bill he would be glad to support, but as it now stool the bill would reduce the rates on all lo cal lines and in justice to the local roads he could not support the bill as it was, but if the Senator (Butler) would so fix his bill as not to icjure the local roads he would support it. Mr. Kay offered the following amend ment: Sec. 1. That the railroad commis sioners shall after their present term expire, be elected by the qual ified voters of the State as other State officers are elected Sec. 2. That in addition to the powers already granted and given to said commissioners, they shall have the power to prevent any re duction in the wages of any mploye of the railroad com panies oi tnis mate, and when satisfactory proof is brought be- ore the board of railroad com missioners that the wages of ' any employes of any railroad I kjs. of 1 ;k Bill to amend section o Code in relation to di- . flowing either husband or il tu other be convicted of y aiul imprisonment for life, to rr ilivoroe.

The bill to provide for the govern ment of the i snitentiary came up as unfinished business, but at the re quest of Dockery, its introducer, it was informally passed over. The bill providing for the pay ment of special venire in capital cases came up. It has caused a great deal of trouble, and has been back and forth between the House and Senate for three weeKs, and in the hands of two conference com mittees. It came over from the Sen ate with many additions to the list of excepted counties. The Honse refused to adopt the report or the conference committee, and it was again referred to the conference committee. McKenzie said the bill was originally drawn at the request of Rowan and Buncombe, but that a flood of amendments were sent in Lusk said he wanted the provisions of the bill to stand for Rowan. The Housa took up the bill to amend the Code regarding costs in justice of the peace courts so that no county shall be liable for any costs in a trial exclusively in the jurisdiction of a justice oi the peace. Cook, who introduced the bill, ex plained it, the text of the bill being: "That no county shall be liable to pay any costs in any action or pro ceeding exclusively and originally within the jurisdiction of a justice of the peace." Cook favored it. Lusk, Schulken, and Sutton, of Cumberland, opposed it. Lusk asked if there was not more in ducement to a justice of the peace to get costs from the county rawer than from some vagabond.

The bill to provide for the taking charge of the penitentiary came up and was explained by its author, Mr. Dockery, who said it simply re instates the Democratic law of 1993, and that Republicans ought to con trol the penitentiary because it is largely composed of Republicans; that in the division of the spoils it fell to the Republicans, while the ceedings. After hi3 nomination for the Su preme court, he retired from active participation in political affairs, in obedience to the established ethics on military of his profession. Ia September, 1893. Judge Doug las delivered au address on "Trade Combinations and Strikes," before the Columbian Catholic Congress, at Chicago, which was largely re published throughout the country. and attracted widespread attention. In it, while deprecating any indis criminate attack upon corporations, which he declared absolutely neces sary in our present state of material development, he urged the strictest exercise of visitatorial powers by the respective sovereignties grant ing charters, together with the en actment and enforcement of laws lican parties. He was at the head of the Reform Press Bureau there and gave the Third party the name of "Populist" when it was organ ized. Later Mr. Ayer was secretary of the Agricultural Association of North Carolina and was at the head of the fair for three years. In March 1895 he became editor of The Cau c asiax. and was elected Auditor in the late campaign. As to Representative White and Senator Parker the Populist conven tion which nominated these two men met in Asheboro on the same day that the Republican convention met which nominated Mr. Allen, the other Repre sentative from their county. The question naturally arose in the Populist convention whether or not the Republican nominee, if elected, would support Mr. Pritchard. And it was stated in this convention by White. Parker and the county chairman that the conference committee appointed by the two parties previous to this date to arrange plans for co-operation bad agreed that the Republicans would nominate a man for Representative who would vote for a silver man for the United States Senate. Upon these statements and conditions the Popu list convention agreed to co-operate with the Republicans, and .1. J. White was nominated for the House and D. Reid Parker for the Senate, and both were supposed to be staunch free silver men who would abide by the decision of the majority of the Populist caucus if elected. If these two gentlemen, who are cer tainly mis-representatives of the Peo ple's party in Randolph county, bad stated on the stump during the cam paign that they, if elected, would sup port Pritchard for the Senate, the Pop ulists of Old Randolph would most assuredly have washed their hands of this foul scandal upon the fair name oi our beloved State. Aye, but they say, we have not betrayed our Populist friends; we voted lor a silver man for Senator. Wonder if you did? Lets see whether you did or not. I pon the FOR MAGISTRATES.

Senator Pritchard addressed the citizens at the fair grounds in the afternoon. In his re marks he stated in substance that be favored the free coinage of silver through 44 international agreement," which means, a3 every sane man knows, the single gold standard. He also stated that be stood square on the St. Louis platform, adopted by the Xa tioal Republican convention, which, as every man know?, was unequivocally for the gold standard, lie stated fur ther that be favored the nomination and election of that inimitable Major McKinley for President. If a man holding such views as the above is a silver man, then I admit that "Cousin Jule" and Dr. Parker voted for a silver man for Senator. Mr. Pritchard is a silver man as use less tramp which is caught up and put to work on the publio road is a work insrman because his overseer has something to do with it. In the name of truth and honefty I beseech you, brothers, dont come back to your con stituents and claim that you voted for a free silver United States Senator.but tell your people the truth like little men and say that you voted for the biggest" flapper and dodger in the State.

Dak- Feb. It A sex tuple tragrdy was discovered one mile from this place today, on the ranch of Rev. Thomas Spicer. The mutilated bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Spicer, their daughter, Mrs. William Rouse, with ber one-year-old twin boys, and the aged Mrs. Waldron, the mother of the ptjfetiua$ter of this place, were discov ered scattered about the ranch, and there is as yet no positive clew as to the perpetrators of the crime. The appearance about the ranch, the conditiou of the bodies, and aome other circumstances bave led to the suspicion that the murder was com mitted by Indians, and this suspicion was in part started irom the known fact that one Indian was seen in the neighborhood of the ranch yesterday. Then, too, the bodies were terribly mutilated with axe and club, which fact ia taken to at least partially cor roborate the suspicion of the Indian murderers. The Standing Rock Indian reserra- ion is not far away, and when the In dians from there get away Irom sight and manage to get hold of whiskey there is sure to be trouble.
