The Crowd Boisterously Interrupted Mr. Clark in His Speech Last Night. Mr. W. W. Clark, of Newbern, candidate for elector-at-large on the Palmer-Buckner ticket in North Carolina, spoke at the court house last night to a fair sized crowd.

Mr. Clark is a very earnest, force ful speaker, and from his standpoint made a very good speech, tilled with the usual "fifty cent dollar"stuff and other gold bug padding. All went smoothly until he said: "If you want to get fifty cent dollars in the same quantity you now get hundred cent dollars, vote for free silver." Tbe crowd shook itself and broke loose in a series of whistles, yells, groans and cheers for Brvan. The speaker's voice was drowned by the crowd. As soon as a streak of silence came, Mr. Clark exclaimed, "You are stand ing on the Chicago platform now!" And then the crowd groaned and whistled and yelled at him again Mr. Heriot Clarkson, Democratic candidate for the Legislature, at last appealed to the crowd to give Mr. Clark a hearing, and after this they quieted down. It ip to be regretted that Mr. Clark was interrupted. The same inter ruptions, though hot quite so bois terous, were made when Messrs. Vinton and Patterson spoke here a few nights ago. TO STOP THE FLOW OF GOLD. England Will Raise Discount Rate. New York Paying a Premium for Gold. Bv Telegraph to Tne Aews. London, Oct. 21.

They were aware at that time that Miss Weil had an uncontroll able mania for taking what did not belong to her, and they have made sworn affidavits stating this fact, to be sent to London where Mrs. Castle and her wealthy husband are now under $150,000 bond, charged with shoplifting. 'Ella Weil was a beautiful and charming young wo'nan," said Miss Morrison. "Every one in Wilming ton knew of her unfortunate weak ness, but nevertheless she was a uni versal favorite. She was tbe belleof the town. She was prominent in social circles, and at times so pronounced was her mania, that she would take little things. People knew she could noi help jt, and we all hoped in time she would get over her failing. But she never did. There was no reason why she should appropriate what did not belong to her, for her people were wealthy and she had everything she wanted. Everything was done to cure her of her mania, and finally she was sent out here in the hope that a complete change might be benefiei.d. Ihat was twelve years ago. I have seen her but once since then. We all knew it was a disease. Her family had an understanding with the mer chants of Wilmington, and whatever she appropriated was alwavs paid for." ' - - m WHEAT STILL GOING UP.

Convicts Registered Under Assumed Names. A gentleman from Providence who was here Wednesday says a large number of negroes who live in Soutn Carolina have registered in that township.

They say the Republican mana gers and Populist committeemen ad vised them to register anyway; say ing that if they were not challenged it would be a clear gain, and if they were not allowed to vote it would be no loss.

They will all be prosecuted for fail ing to make tax returns. It is said that Providence town ship has several ex-convicts who have been living there all the time except for their term of imprison ment who have brazenly gone to the registration places and regi:ered under assumed names.

The News printed a few days ago 011 the authority of a member of the Prohibition party in Charlotte, that Rev. Charles E. Bentley, the candi date of the National party (the free silver wing of the Prohibition party) had withdrawn. The News was re quested to state this as a correction of its article on Mr. Levering. Now it turns out that the News was right at first and Mr. Bentley is till in t he race. The following letter was receive this morning: Editor of The News. 'I notice in the News, the follow ing: "Rev. C. E. Bentley the candi date of the National Party (Prohibi tion free silver) has withdrawn and taken the stump for Bryan.'' It is a mistake. A private communication from Mr.-Bentley informs me that he has no intention ot coining down, but is in the National Party to, stay.
