t& ffifrarlflttje &m&iv&tt (ShaxlotU, jj,. E Charlotte Democrat. CHARLOTTE. N. C. Friday. July 13, 1894. WASHINGTON LETTER. From Our Regular Correspondent Washington, July 9, 1894. It is understood that Chairman Wit son' confident bearing in his defence of the House tariff bill as against the amendments of the Senate, rested upon substantial encouragement, aside from the staunch spirit of opposition among the House Democrats. The President is said to have expressed himself in direct terms as opposed to many of the Senate amendments, and as favoring a course on the part of the House conferees of cour ageous action in an effort to restore the measure to the form in which it left the House, or as nearly so as possible. Be fore any steps were taken in the House in regard to the bill after the Senate fin ished its work, the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee and the President are said to have had a conference in which the latter explained his views quite freely. Sunday was a busy day at the White TTnuae. All dav lone conferences were held between the President and his offi cial advisers. Secretary Lamont and Gen. Schofield came early and remained late, while Postmaster-Goneral Bissell, Secretary Gresham.and Secretary Carlisle Hnnninnme time with Mr. Cleveland. It was altogether a red letter Sunday at the White House, and the waiting carriages anri ftnnat&nt comings and goings of officers of the government made it obvious that something unusual was taking place. The President's office looked like the headquarters of a general direct ing the movements of his army. Tele prams fresh from the bands of the White House operator were brought in fre miflntlv and carefullv read. Mai. Gen. Schofield offered suggestions and told about the distribution of troops in Chicago. Adit. Gen. Buggies was also present to furnish any information about the army. People going to and coming from church did not need to be told that the pulse of the great strike was being felt in the White House. The statement has been published that an effort is to be made to discipline Mr. Hill for his conduct in voting against the tariff bill, and that the action would extend to the point of calling a caucus and reading him out of the party, x ester day a Democratic Senator, whose con nection with the caucus is of the most prominent character, said that there was absolutely nothing in the report, and that neither Mr. Hill nor any other Democrat who exercised the privilege of hgbting the tariff bill would be called before his colleagues for criticism or punishment. " Who is the handsomest man in the Senate? was the conundrum put in a Dartv of legislators the other day. That depends. If one is looking for a military style of beauty the rotund figure, the formidable mustache, and the martial eye Senator Manderson would undoubtedly carry off the palm. sut this is only one style of comeliness. There is the Napo leonic cast of countenance the deep set and commanding eye, and the stern fea tures which would give Senator Allen, of Nebraska, the prize. If the flowing side-whisker be a sign of pulchritude then Senator Blanchard, of Louisiana, would stand away up front, while if the taste of the beauty judge should run to abundance of hirsute adornment, no one would be in it with Peffer or Dolph or Stewart. Senator Vest's beauty is of rugged. Pike county style, that must have its admirers in the West. Sanator Cameron unfortunately mars the delicate outline of bis countenance by wearing a blue and white shirt with the stripes an inch broad, and Senator Call is out oi the race since the episode of the socks But, as a matter of fact, there really has not been a completely handsome man in the benate since Mr. iiiscock retired to private life. He was Hyperion himself. During these somewhat troublous times it is a pleasure to turn to the office of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue and observe tho handsome increase in government receipts. The receipts this offico now average over one million dollars per day. The anticipation of the increase tax on spirits has resulted in this tremendous increase in receipts during the past week. On the whole the situa tion in the Internal .Revenue departmen of the government is in tbe most gratify ing condition. Now that tbe legislative road is clear of tbe tariff incumbrance, an effort making to secure a day in the Senate for the consideration of the Chinese treaty which has been hanging fire for a long time. Railroad Laborers Strangely Hart. While Section Foreman Michae Quintan and a force of men were engaged in removing a rail yesterday from tbe track of tbe Louisville and Nashville Kailroad, one and a half miles north o this city, an unusual accident occurred which resulted very seriously to Walter Waters and James Sneed, both colored. As each spike was removed the rai took the form of a bow, caused by the intense heat expanding it. After the removal of tbe spikes the clamps which connect each end with adjoining rails wera unfastened. A crowbar was then placed under one end ot the rail to pry it loose from its position. As soon as weight was applied to the crowbar the rail unexpectedly jumped out to the middle of the track and Btruck tbe men and Foreman Quinlan on the legs with such force as to fell them to the ground. Foreman Quintan's injuries consisted of a badly masbod foot. Walter Waters and James Sneed were conveyed to tbe City Hospital. The former received a com pound fracture of the right ankle, and will be confined several months. Sneed was so badly hurt that his right leg be low the knee joint and part of his left leg had to be amputated. I be accident caused a great deal of comment among railroad men, it being the first of its kind ever known to have happened. Nashville American. Backlen's Arnica Salve.

Cleveland and Governor AltKeld. There is a conflict of authority in the state of Illinois. The Governor complains to the President and protests against the employment of Federal troops in Chicago, on tbe ground that the local and state authorities are able to preserve order. The President makes tbe toliowing rePlv: , JfiXICUTIVB MANSION. July 5th 1894. John P. Alteeld. Governor of Illinois. v c? Federal troops were Bent to Chicago in ... . n . strict acordance witn tne uonsiuunou and laws of the United States upon the demand of the Post Office Department, that the obstruction of the mails should bo removed, and upon the representations of iudicial officers of the United States . . .

Tho Governor is right as to the primary auty 01 me outis, uut u iub State refuses, or negleots, to act tbe President must see to it that the mandates of the Federal courts are obeyed, and that there is no obstruction to commerce between tbe States. Governor Altgeld, as the Newborn Journal says, is not above suspi cion himself. There are many who believe that be is hand in glove with the revolutionists.

The law abiding citizens of Illinois feel none the safer because John, P. Altgeld, as Governor, is commander in chief of tbe Illinois militia. Facts About Lightning. We find the following intereBiing data in relation to lightning and how it strikes in the columns of one of our Washington contemporaries, and we give it here for the beneht ot our readers, as tms is an appropriate season for such literature : The annual average of lives lost by lightning is about two hundred. Such catastrophes always occur in the five spring and summer months, from April to September, while more than two-thirds of them take place during June and Julv. Tbe annual average value of property destroyed by lightning during tbe eight years ending with lavz was one and one-half million dollars In 1890 New York was tbe most un fortunate State with respect to property damaged by lightning, Pennsylvania and Ohio followed hard after, both of them away up in tbe hundreds of thou sands of dollars, while Kansas reports only one fire worth four hundred dollars and Mississippi two. which averaged seventysfive dollars apiece. The follow ing year Pennsylvania led the way, closely followed by Missouri, Ohio and New York, with Delaware, Louisiana and Rhode Island at the opposite end of the report. In 1892 New York was again at the head, having lost nearly twice as much as in either of the other years Next in order were Pennsylvania, New Jersey. North Dakota and Ohio. Florida and Mississippi lost tbe least lb at year $325 each. During the nine years ending with 1892, 2335 barns, six hundred and sixty four dwellings and one hundred and four churches were struck by lightning. The mortality in barns is usually greatest in New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Indiana and New Jersey. In tbe do struction of dwellings Pennsylvania and New York bead the list, with an equal number. Connecticut and Maine come next, and are also paired. The Government's object in gathering all these statistics is manifold. The au thorities have not been at the work long enough, tbey say, to be able to give very much useful information, but in tbe course of a dozen years more we shall doubtless know whether lightning really never strikes twice in the sarao place; and if not, why not. The Weather Bureau does not state the question quite so badly, but asks for twenty years of which eight years have passed in which to determine from statistics " whether there exists periodicity in the number of lightning strokes. The Bureau has discovered, however, that lightning does sometimes strike twice in the same place, but those may be the exceptions which prove tbe rule Of course the main object is to find out what construction of buildings is most liable to destruction by lightning, and to what extent the character ot tbe land where buildings are located influences the frequency of lightning strokes. Some things have been proved already Tho danger to a country building is five times as great as to one in the city, and a barn is four times as likely to be struck as a dwelling bouse. With regard to trees, the oak has been most frequently struck, tbe proportion being over fifty times as often as the beech, which suffers the least frequently. Norfolk Landmark N. C. Weather Crop Bulletin. Central Office, .Raleigh, N. C. Raleigh, July 9, 1894. The reports of correspondents of tbe Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin, issued by the North Carolina State Weather Service for week ending Monday, July 9, 1894, indicate that another unusually favorable week has passed, lhe temperature has been slightly below the normal, with three cool nights towards tbe latter part of the week, but days have been suffi ciently warm. The amount of sunshine has been below tbe normal. The rain fall has been very abundant and in the shape of gentle showers without bail or wind, lhe rains have been excessive only over a few of the coast counties. Crops were just in the right condition to be benebted by rains, and their growth and present condition is gratifying. Western District. Less rain has fallen in this district than in others, but there has been sufficient for tbe require, raents of crops and improvement con tinues in all directions. Cotton now blooming.

Editor Democrat : Some few months j since I came in possession, by accident, of a copy of tbe National Intelligencer, printed in Washington City, D. C, September 24tb, 1840. In this old paper I found, to me, a small treasury of history, which I thought would be of in. terest to the public in general, and to tbe citizens of Mecklenburg in particular, as it relates to tbe building of the first U. S. Branch Mint in Charlotte, N. C. By this old document, I find that the first Mint of Charlotte was finished in 1837( at a uust of $29,800, and 93,913, less than the estimate. Tbe contractors were Messrs. Perry and Ligon ; Jonas Bost, of then Lincoln county, being tbe con tractors for tbe wood work. Many of your readers will remember Mr. Bost, of Newton, N. C, who was one and tbe same man ; who, in 1846, built tbe first hotel in Newton. In 1837, tbe Mint was in tbe suburbs of Charlotte. It was burnt in June, 1844, and rebuilt in 1846. In the details of the building ot tbe first Mint, 1 see that Samuel MoComb was U. S. Com. missioner, and Col. J. H. Wheeler Superin tondent and Treasurer. In that day, as well as this, much extravagance was practioed by Government officials as will be shown by some accounts presented, and paid by tbe Treasurer : Philadelphia, Pa., November 3, 1838. U. S. Branch Mint, Charlotte, N. C, bought of D. Landreth & Co. : 50 Ailanthus trees $1...... $50.00 50 Horse Chestnut trees $1.. .. 50.00 5 Magnolia Grandiflora trees $1. 5.00 5 Magnolia Macropbylla trees $1.50 7.50 5 Tulip poplars $1 5.00 5 Silver lace Maples $1 5.00 100 yards Box edging 12.50 5 English Walnuts $1 5.00 10 European Lindens $1 10.00 5 Balm of Gilead $1.50 7.50 10 Morus Multicanlis 62 6.25 Together,with other trees and shrubbery, garden horse and tools, packing, etc., amounting to $218 25, paid by Col. John H. Wheeler, Superintendent and Treas urer U. S. Branch Mint. I find bills presented and paid to Gen. Saunders for drawing deed $ 10.00 Thos. J. Holton adv. contract. . . 15.00 Blair & Hives adv. contract 21.00 Philo White adv. contract .... . 6.50 Strickland drawing plan of b'ld'g . 150.00 Thos Ligon plan of outb'ld'gs 30.00 J. W. Hampton advertising 4.00 Lincoln Republican advertising.. 3,00 And other items, amounting in all, to $255.00. Another bill reads thus : 2 reams satin post, gilt edge, paper at $6.50 ; 4 pair office shears $1 50; 4 ink stands $1.25 each : 1 large ink stand tor desk ot Uol Wheeler $8.75 ; 1 American Almanac $1.25; together, with other stationery, in eluding 6 doz. Jackson H. lead pencils $1 per dozen, in all amounting to $490 50. Again, a bill tor chairs, thus : b mahogany chairs $5 50 each ; 1 chair for office, covered with morocco $34.00. 1 find by this old paper that the machinery, and other purchases were shipped via Charleston and Camden. Among the vouchers are many names of citizens, whose names are now not known in Charlotte Such as J. M. Morrison, mer chant; Joseph Smith, boarding bouse; S. B. Grabucb, tinner ; James H Orr, for wagon: H. C. Owern; Wm. F. Strange, and others. From a perusal of this old newspaper. it appears that the agents of the U. S. Government were in many instances very lavish with the people's money, so much so that Congress appointed an in vestigating committee to visit the Char lotte Mint, and report. Their investiga lion led them to dis allow certain claims, and to write, " Tho committee regrets to perceive so much extravagance, if not wanton waste in tbe management of public money, but it has not caused great surprise, when they perceived that some ot the accounts were audited and ex amined by some of tbe same officers, through whose negligence in part, the Swartwont defalcation was allowed to take place, and remain so long undis covered." The account of D. Landreth & Co., for trees, was at first dis-allowed as being extravagant, but was subsequently allowed. From this old paper, I learn that it cost a Government employee $51. DU to travel trom Philadelphia to Charlotte, N. C. 1 find one item as paid out, to wit: Tax on Mint lot $1.50. which shows values then and now in Charlotte, as well as tbe low assessment for taxes when poll tax was 40 to 50 cents. I subjoin the following letter, which will be read with interest by old citizens: LETTER FROM SAMUEL Mc'JOMB TO LEVI WOODBURY, SECRETARY OP THE TREASURY. Charlotte.CN. C.) June 24, 1837. Dear Sib : I am happy to inform you that we are near nmsmng tbe edifice for tbe Branch Mint at this place, and will have all completed in two or three weeks from this time One week will finish all the work but tbe painting ; the workmen have nearly finished painting the front part of the edifice, and will finish all of the painting within the time mentioned, without some unlooked for occurrence takes place.

We are looking for it daily Enclosed I send you tbe amount of the contractor's claims for extra work done in erecting the edifice. You will perc-.ive that we referred it to referees, who awarded to the contractors $2,935 92, and have certified to the award. The persons who made out the award are gentlemen of undoubted character ; they docked the contractors' bill one thousand dollars, as made out and rendered by them to me. All of this extra work I was directed to have done by the Director of the Mint but the graduating and filling in round the edifice ; this I had done for the purpose of pro tec ling tbe basement story from filling with water during the rainy seasons Before I had this part of tbe work done, the basement storv was mbject, in rainy weather, to let in water and render it useless for a time, to the inlurv of everv I thin? placed in u ; it is now perfectly dry and wuiiui MU.C, UtCiUCB BUUlUg IUC UCSU I J UX IOC site .and edifice.

The berries are in shape, taste, and flavor just like black ones, but in color tbey are a cret my white, liwe the white rasp berries and yellow plums.

A leading Populist told us Saturday that their long worked up club in this Township consisted of 30 names. Well, we suppose this is a air representation of their strength. There are nearly 500 voters in this township, of this 30 it is safe to say two thirds are from the republican camps. Maxton Scottish Chief. North Carolina now probably leads all tbe Southern States in thj matter of popular education, says the Indianapolis News. Besides her splendid system of graded schools in the towns and tbe State University, this State now supports from the public treasury an industrial and nor mal school for girls at Greensboro, where 600 young women have learned teaching, bookkeeping, stenography, typwriting, mantuamaking, cooking and other useful occupations during the first scholastic year just closed j and an agricultural and mechanical college in Raleigh, where three hundred boys are annually taught useful occupations, covering farming and all the mechanical trades. A Prosperous Man. Mr. William Foard, of Union county, is one of the prosperous farmers of this county. He started to work without anything and had accumulated enough to buy a nice little farm and to work it as it should be worked. He lives a year ahead instead of a year behind pays cash for all he buys and says this is actually the easi est time to live that he has experienced in all of 'his career. He says that by his way of paying .cash for what be uses be can make a bale of cotton at tbe present prioe go further than a bale would when it brought 10 cents per pound, with the prices that prevailed then. Vnarlotte News. A Queer Combination. Under the direction of Mr. Jno. O'Neill, of Massa chusetts, vigorous prospecting for gold is going on at Mr. J.H. Craig's Crowder's Mountain farm. Shafts are being sunk and tbe director says tbe prospects for gold are very satisfactory. In one of the old shafts about twenty-five feet deep, was found an possum. He bad gone down there after a snake. An Irishman who was let down to capture tbe "var mint" was bitten on the foot not by the snake but by the 'possum. There being no snakes in Ireland and few Irishmen in our 'possum districts the appearance of a snake, a 'possum and an Irishman all in the same troupe strikes one as being an unuBual combination.
