Assets and Liabilities Not Known.
Special to The News.
Raleigh, N. C, June 1. Raleigh
today received a decided ehock when
it became known that the firm of
W. H. and R. S. Tucker & Co., the
largest dry goods house in the State,
had been placed in the hands of re
ceivers. W. R. Tucker, W. B. Snow
and Ernest Haywood were appointed
trustees.
It ha3 been known for some time
that this large house had not made
any money recentlyrbut its failure
will cause surprise all over the State.
The liabilities and asatts are un
known. The firm was established maDy
years ago by Capt. W. H. Tucker and
Major K. S. Tucker, who were very
successful business men and accu
mulated a large fortune. Later ihe
business was hold by them to the Boy
Ian, Dobbin & Poe. Mr. Poe with
drew, and the firm has for a number
of years been composed of William
Boylans, James Boylan and T. W.

The failure was no doubt due to
competition of other 'dry goods
houses and the unusually dull
times.
THE "DAUNTLESS" CAPTURED.

Key West;-FIb., June 1. The

TAILORS WIN COMPLETE VICTORY.
Contractors Agreed to All Their De
mands, and They Return to Work.
By Telegraph to The News.
New York, June 1. Two thou
sand striking tailors, employed in
the shops of a hundred and five
contractors went to work this
morning with an advance in -wages,
and stated working time of fitty-
nine hours a week. All their de
mands have been granted the Lithu
anian tailors.
Over two thousand more have also
made settlements on their own terms
today, and will return to work.
Forty five shops of children's jacket
makers were thrown open this morn
ing, employing over seven hundred
at the new demands, the weapon
proving strongest forcing the con
tractors to sign tne agreement in
sight of truck loads of unmade gar
ments at their shop doors. The
contractors who signed started work
for fear the btst contracts in fall
clothing would escape them.
SEARLES SET FREE.
The Justice Mill Turns Out Another
Sugar Trust Official.
By Telegraph to The News.
Washington. June 1. Judge
Bradley this morning rendered a
decision in the cise of John E
Searlee. secretary of tne Sugar Trust,
and ordered the jury to find a ver
dict for tne ueienuant.
Searles' counsel was in court to
day. The familiar form of Presi
dent Havemeyer was missing, as
were also the senators anu ocners
present during the week of the trial.
Judge Bradley immediately took
up the motion of Attorney Johnson
for the detence. xne arguments
were heard Friday, so that all that
wa3 necessary was ihe opinion of
Jndge Bradley, who gave a review
of Ine evidence.
He a'so reviewed the case from
rhfl hoeinniusr of the investigation
by the committee, and said Searles
testified very fully before tne com
mittee that "no funds had been con
tributed to the Democratic national
campaign fund.
Thus Searles goes free.

SAM JONES.
DRAWS
THE LARGEST CROWD
IN ROCK HILL
EVER
Six Thousand People Heard Him Yes
terday Morning. Rock Hill and
Wlnthrop College.
Rock Hill, S. C, contained Sun
day the largest crowd it has ever
he!din its history, and the oldest in
habitant could not recall another
such gathering in out live neighbor
tovn.
Sam Jones was the atti action
Special trains were run from several
points to the meeting, and the regu
lar trains were crowded bejond their
capacity. A large number went
from Charlotte and spent the day,
returning at nine o'clock last night.
Mr. Jones preached his closing ser
mon last night, and ended the meeting-
The tabernacle in which the meet
ings have been held is a rough frame
structure that furnishes sufficient
ventilation and light, but poor ro
tection against rain or storm. It
holds six or seven thousand people.
Yesterdav the building was crowded
almost to suffocation, and several
hundred were unabl-3 to get in, and
stood outside.
Sam Jones preached a thoroughly
characteristic sermon in the morn
ing on "The Building of Christian
Character," into which was injected
a large number of "Jonesisms," in
cluding some that are rather thread
bare from constant use. He devoted
a portion of his sermon to politics,
declaring that Grover Cleveland was
the greatest man of hi3 time, and
saying the people who advocated the
free coinage of silver were noodle
headed lunatics who were dishonest
and wanted to pay their debts in a
currency worth only half the cur
rency in which the debts were con
tracted. "If you talk about tree
silver, Bud," he said, "you may be
hll right, I'll tell you what's the
matter with you; you ain t got no
cense, lie said tne statement tnat
there is auy law in this country that
operates for the poor and against
the rich is a lie. About a fourth ot
his sermon sounded as if it were
scissored out of the campaign speech
of a Palmer-Buckner orator on the
hustings.
In the afternoon Evangelist
George Stewart preached an excel
lent sermon, and at night "Your
Uncle Jones" held forth again.
Enormous crowds attended every
service. Mr. Jones uaugnier, airs.

EARTH TREMBLED.
DISTINCT SHOCKS FELT IN. CHAR
LOTTE TODAY.
The Earthquake Came About -Two
O'clock and One Shock Lasted Sev
eral Seconds. Shakers and Quak
ers. At two o'clock a severe shock of
earthquake was distinctly felt in
Charlotte and all through this en
tire section. "
The first shock was very slight
affecting some buildings as if a
heavy safe had been rolled over the
floor.
The second Bhock followed the
first one almost immediately. The
second shock was quite heavy and
was distinctly percepitible for sev
eral seconds. ' .
A telegram from Charleston says
the shock was not perceptible there.
The eastern part of North Carolina
has not yet been heard from, but
from the reports received, it appears
that the earthquake was confined to
the western part of North Carolina.
A telegram from Rutherford Col
lege, Burke county, states that quite
a distinct shock was felt there almost
at the same moment it was felt in
Charlotte.
Reports by wire from Elmwool,
Asheville and points all over Western
North Carolina state that the shock
was distinctly felt in many localities.
y FOLKS WHO.WERE SHAKEN.
Those sitting in the corridor 0
the Central hotel felt the shock very
distinctly. . Mayor Springs was sit
ting talking to Mr J. S. Sparer
when he first felt the building shake;
he remarked about it and Mr. Spen
cer pronouced it an earthquake.
Several of the members of the
North State Club were in the club
rooms at the time. One gentleman
was in the act of making a shot on
the billiard table when he felt the
shock and down the stairs he came
at a two forty rate.
At the graded school the" shock
was very distinct and along with it
some say was a low rumbling noise.
At the Southern depot the clerks
on the second floor thought the first
shock was a passing- engine, but the
second shock gave the building a
quiver that co" 'd hardly be mistaken,
and snook down some letter hies,
etc , hanging on the walls.
One man when he got up town
was asked if he felt the earthquake.
He said he thought the quiver was
caused by his room mate patting his
JNo. 11 s on the floor.
At the exposition building the
pictures in the art gallery were
umbled together, and nearly all of
them thrown out of the plumb.
Several had to be taken down and
re-hung.
At Mr. McD. Watkins , near the
city, the shock came near shaking
down his store. Rain and hail fell
soon after the earthquake, x
