While the dry winas were ai-
most lifting ua off our feet Satur-:
dav night that only made, us draw i
ip our wraps the closer and seek ;
refuge in our good Warm rooms
there was dire distress on our
Northeastern coasts. From Pen
obscot, Maine, to New London,
Conn., the storm was terrific, and
it is estimated that at least 100
yessela of various sizes went
ashore. The loss of life is esti
mated To be at least 140.
The steamer Portland is miss

sha has gone down with 50 or 75
passengers.
In New "York City the snow
ras ten inches deep and the wind
wis a hurricane. A number ol
lives were lost by exposure,
chiefly those though afflicted with
the drink habit.
The blizzard is said to bh the
worst on the New England coast
gince 1351. Business was greatly
crippled. i
Dispatches from Chicago say
that even on the great lakes there
was much damage to shipping.
Ills Sew Same.
Mr. W M Weddington called
to say to The Standard this
(Tuesday) morning that an event
transpired at his home during the
night that locates a new centre of
attraction about his home, and
and sounds not essentially joyful
and yet musical., Everybody
wears the air of gladness. It even
affects him in a way never before
experienced in that it seems to
put a crown on his gradually
frosting locks and clothes him
with a new sense of pride. It has
even attached a pew appellation
to him.
He does not know just yet how
he shall take being called grand
pa, but any way he is prepared to
retaliate by saying, grand-son.
SPAIN YIELDS

to Ajnst. ' -
Spain has yielded to America's
conditions, namely, the giving up
o! Cuba, Porto Bica and the Phil
ippines and receives for the latter
$20,000,000. Only the minutia of
the treaty now remain to be ad
justed, when the Pans treaty
commission will adjourn. It will
require probably two weeks.
The scene was quite pathetic
hen the Spanish Commissioners
entered with depression v depicted
on their countenances and handed
pain's reply, which brifly sum
med meant that Spain thinks the
United States too severe on ' her
helpless foe. She looks upon the
?nns as very hard but she is in
fto condition to do-otherwise than
accept them. " ;
Trie document was short and
- the meeting brief. There was not,

Concord's tuensns Taken Again.
To be handed in to the county
commissioners, a census has been
taken of the number of white and
colored children in Concord, and
the population of our city was
also taken in addition. Jdr.
Ohristenbury Holshouser was ap-
pointed the census taker, and hasUnem without any provocation in
completed his rounds. The popu-
lation statistics show Concord to
be gradually incrbasmg each year.
The whole number of school chil-
dren, including white and colored,
amounts to 2,4981,989 whites
and 509 colored. The whole pop-
ulation of Concord is shown to be
7,1565,348 whites and 1,808 col-
ored. Our population in 1896 did
not reach7,000,but we are now well
started on the road to 8,000, which
we will reach soon.

On Sunday afternoon three
white men were seen on .Spring
street and afterwards found on
the COrner at the Litaker buildinc.
gom0 one jn their crowd was
teara to cursQ a lady of our town
after they had passed her. They
afterwards came in sight of Eev.
Logan (col.) and his wife. Then
they commenced to curse and abuse
the least. The matter has partly
been investigated, and the names
0f the three persons have been
obtained. If possible the guilty
one whichever it is, will suffer a
penalty, as such conduct should
nofc he tolerated, makiDg it unsafe
for a lady to walk along upon our
streets. As for their cursicg Bev.
Logan, we deem it nothing more
than just to say that there is not
a colored man in Concord who
i
has the esteem of the best of our
neonle more than this man. and
when one acts as he does the peo
a .1
ple will be in favor of the prose
cution ot such characters as those
that were on the streets Sunday
afternoon.
