POLITICAL POINTERS. FORECAST OP THE ELECTION FROM HEADQUARTERS. What Our Leaders Think: of the Sit uation All the Ticket Sent Out Funeral of. Dr. W. J. Haw kins The Trousers Factory -to Start Up Judgment Against the Klectric Light Company. A telegram received here last night from Philadelphia announced the death in Jeffer son hospital there of Dr. William J. Haw kins of this city. His death has been ex pected for some days. His wife and daughter, his sons, Messrs. Marmaduke and Colin M. Hawkins, and his brother, Dr. A. 1J. Hawkins, were with him when he died. He was 7G years of age and was born in Franklin county. For many years he was president of the Raleigh and Gaston rail way. He was for a time also a president of theTtaleigh and Augusta railway. In 1872 he established the Citizens' National ibank, now one of Ilaleigh's soundest and best known banks. Three weeks ago Dr. Haw kins was taken to Philadelphia and a dan gerous operation was performed upon him. For a time this was thought to be entirely successful. He leaves an estate quite care fully . estimated at 300,000. He owned property in Maryland, Florida and North Carolina. His remains will be brought here to-night and the funeral will beheld to morrow. Dr. Hawkins was a member of the Kpiscopal church of the Good Shepherd. Thus in a few weeks four of Raleigh's wealthy citizens have died, these being Messrs. Ilufus S. Tucker. William H. Holle man, K. G. Keade and W. J. Hawkins. The total of their estates must approximate SI. 500,1X10. This morning the remains of the wife of Congress nan Woodard arrived here on the way to Wilson from Asheville, where hr death occurred yesterday. Many visitors to the State fair remained until to-day, and the outgoing trains were crowded. The appreciation of - the fair is general. There are plenty of assurances that the next fair will have the magnitude of an exposition. The interest in the political campaign this year has certainly not been anything like as intense and as general as it. was two years ago. It is now getting pretty warm. The f usionists. first of all, want to to get a ma jority in the Legislature. Next to this the Populists want to elect their judicial ticket, while the Republicans rank as second the Congressional ticket. Your correspondent is assured by Demo crats who are extremely observant and who have canvassed in maiiy sections that the Legislative ticket is all right. There is more concern as to the judicial ticket. If the Democrats do earnest work until sun set election day and poll their full strength, they can win by from 5,000 to 10,000 ma jority. This is a frank statement. The greatest danger is from apathy and neglect to go to the polls m . The light in Wake county is hard. The canvass has not been a joint one. The fu sionists have done a great deal of bush whacking. The result here is douotiui. Raleigh will no doubt be depended upon, as was the case two years ago, to overcome a majority in the other townships. Rev. Dr.B. Carradine, an eminent preacher of St. Ixuis. Mo., yesterday began a revival meeting here, at Central M. E. church. He preaches with great power and has already made a tine impression. No one was injured in Saturday's collision at Henderson. About a dozen ladies fainted. The collision occurred on a straight stretch of track. It is said one of the engineers was is to blame. The rain which began Friday night ended last night, and the weather is bright and warm. Cotton picking will be resumed and will be pushed, so as to get in the remaining one third of the crop as soon as possible. The number of visitors to the museum last week is thought to have broken the record. . . The improvements of the interior of the institution for the white blind are now about finished. There was. some delay in completing them. Some new pupils will soon be admitted. The quartermaster general says the report on this year's encampment of the State Guard shows that all the fund for that pur pose was used. An allowance of f 10Ji was made to the division of the naval reserves which was present. MEiSEXGETt EtT.EAC, Raleigh, Oct 30. f There is lots of work at Deniocratic head Mqvq Tin tirkets for the election have been most carefully sent to all the counties. JJlank receipts accompanied these and in all cases, save as to thirteen counties, these have been returned, duly signed. Strange to say. these thirteen coun ties are all on the railway. So Chairman Pou is well assured that they have been re ceived; but to be on the safe side he to-day telegraphed to each of these counties asking a reply by wire as to the tickets. It is asserted that the work this year at ilnnflrtprs has been even harder than it was in 1SJVJ. The amount of j ... a 1 I t . t sf literature sent oui nas weu urtaitri. 'ncui the main lines of effort has been to arouse the voters, apathy being the thing most dreaded. To show the necessity for this kind of arousing, your correspondent need only state that right here in Raleigh a num ber'of Democrats who should have regis tered, failed to do so. The party chairman in this countv counts on 1,000 majority. It is said by some judges that the organization in Wake has not been as thorough as it should have been. Secretary Wilev Rush of the State com mittee sas the l irst district is certainly the most doubtful of all and that the Demo crats cannot carry it unless they make an extra effort from now until the close of elec tion dav. - , , ,. With the present attitude of the Republi cans representing the Cheatham and White factions, he thinks the Democrats will un doubtedly carry the Second district. With three tickets in the field in the Third district, he savs Shaw wilt certainly be elected and the withdrawal now of either Thompson, Populist, or Spears, Republican, cannot defeat him. The withdrawal of Milliken, Republican, in the Fourth district complicates Cooke's chances, but the Democrats expect to carry the district. . Desperate efforts are being made by the fusionists in the Fifth district and. the chances are even. The Sixth and Seventh districts are safely Democratic. The Kighth district presents complica tions, but the Democrats have no doubt of the final results. The Ninth district is safely Democratic, and this, it is claimed, the fusionists con cede, notwithstanding Tearson's efforts to defeat Crawford. tively made that both branches will be Democratic by a reduced majority. i-es- j per ate local efforts have in a measure over shadowed the State ticket which will very possibly result in a reduced majority. Kfforts have been made to obtain the full list of the nominees of the fusionists for solicitor. Thus far only the following names have been obtained: rirst district, W. J. Learv, Jr ;ot Chowan: Third district, Claude M. iternard. of Pitt; Fourth district, Thomas R. Ilirnell, of Wake; Fifth district, W Ii Uynum, Jr.. of Guilford; Seventh dis trict, Herbert F. iieawell, of Moore: Mnth district, Marshall L. Mott. of Wilkes. The Dnaocrats will depend upon the West for success this year. Two years ago they relied upon the Fast, nor were they disappointed. ! The remains of Dr. Wm. J. Hawkins ar rived from Philadelphia to-day at 5 o'clock a. mJ, and were met at the station by the officers and clerks of the Citizens" National bank, of which he was president, and were then taken to his residence. The funeral was held from the Church of the Good Shepherd this-afternoon, Bishop Cheshire officiatimr, assisted by several of the clergy. The directors and .of ficers and clerks of all the banks here attended in a body. The pall bearers were Governor Carr and Messrs. R. H. Battle, B. P. Williamson, D. E. Everett; W. W. ass. Wmj Moncure, A. W. Haywood, W m. Boy Ian, Sr., U. B. Root, and C. G. Latta. A number of the officers of the Seaboard Air Line also attended the funeral. Dr. Hawkins having long been president of the Raleigh and Gaston railway. Arrivals at the penitentiary were quite numerous to-day, eight convicts coming in from Cleveland, two from Stokes and one each from Carteret and Cherokee. Jefferson and Atlas Denton, bar keepers here, have assigned to Ed. Denton. Their liabilities are about $2,IW, Ed. Denton being preferred for fGOO. . The owners of the new trouser factory here say they expect to begin operations week after next, and that the output will be about 250 pairs daily. . . lialeigh will soon have a new physician, Dr. (i. a. Coggeshall of Oxford, making the number here twenty-six. W. H. &. R. S. Tucker A Co., of this city, were awarded the 50 prize for the finest ex hibit at the State fair. Mention has been made of the fact that Mr. Z. W. Haynes, a deaf mute of this city, had sued the lialeigh Gas and Electric com pany for 810,000 for the death of his young son who touched a liye wire. The jury gives Mr. Haynes 1,300 damages. The estate of the late Wm.H.Holleman is lound to be $150,000, upon probate. Sanitary engineer Jonn C. Chase, of Wil mington, is now making a sanitary inspec tion lof public institutions, water supply, sewerage, etc. ' - The number of students actually present at the University to-day is 315, a very fine showing. j ' ANXIOUS TO SPILL BLOOD, i Editor of a Populist Paper Arrested on Charge of Publishing Seditious , Matter. Ripley, Tenn., Oct. 30. E. F. Tapley, editor Of the reople'x Advocate, a Populist newspaper issued at this place, was arrested yesterday afternoon on the charge of sedi tion, growing out of the publication of an article. The article in question is as follows: "After considering the matter it has been determined to hold a mass meeting, which all honest people are invited to attend, in the court house next Saturday, November .3rd, at 1 o'clock p. m. The object of this meeting is to give expression to the determi nation now formed in the minds and hearts of the people to die rather than submit to anything but a fair election on Tuesday, November Gth. That they have all come to this conclusion it does not require much time or conversation to demonstrate. To submit to such glaring frauds as were practiced in the August election is to surrender all manhood and patriot ism, and this the honest people of old Lauderdale are not yet ready to do, and be fore they will do it they will soak the sod with their blood. Every honest man who desires a fair and honest election is earn estly urged to quit his daily avocation and come out on that day and show that he is at least on the side of justice and right. Come everybody." Editor Tapley was arrested and arraigned before a magistrate, waived preliminary ex amination and was admitted to bail under a f 2,500 bond. The law under which he was arrested is a section in the Revised Statutes prohibiting the calling of meetings or mobs tnnofhfiT fnr rho i-Mrrrc ff inPltinff J Tint Tapley has frequently been in trouble on ac count of his fiery utterances and was re cently found guilty of libel and compelled m mm aMaSSS SV -fes" ' ' 1 The Son's Cotton Review.

The prohibition against the landing of American cattle and Ameri can dressed meat, announced by a decree of the Hamburg Senate on Saturday last, was extendejd to-day to every port in Germany. The officials of the Interior Department say that the importation of cattle from Amer ica suffering from Texas fever has been clearly proved and that the measures taken are purely of a preventive nature, such as each German State is entitled to exercise through its police authority within its own territory. j f.GOMMlSSIONERSHEEHAN a- 1 1 AGAIN LOCKS HORNS WITH COUNSELOR GOFF. lie Admits the Police Receife Black- mail Denounces as a Lie j the Statement That It Amounts to $ 10,000,000 Refuses t4 Produce Ills Bank Books Some Explanations Hard to Make. NewIYork. Oct. 30. Commissioner Shec- han was on the stand aeain to-day before the Lexow committee and, as usual, a good Ileal of hot talk passed between the witness and Mr. Goff. j Mr. Goff drew the commissioner out in reference to his idea of the duties of the po llice board. First and foremost, the witness claimed the duty of the board was to ee that the $5,000,000 annual appropriation was properly expended.The board was also to see that the officers on the force did their duty. Mr. Goff endeavored to make a telling point by getting the witness to admit that the board considered the proper enforcement of the rules among the officers as secondary to the expenditure of the $5,000,000 appropria tion. The commissioner, however, ' would not admit the truth of such an inference. In the afternoon Mr. Goff spent consider able time questioning the witness about the New York signal service. Tne commissioner admitted that the service was greatly infe rior to that of Chicago, Boston and several other large cities, but he could not explain why this was the case. At the conclusion of Mr. Sbeehan's testimony for to-day Mr. Goff told the witness to bring his private and public bank books to-morrow. This the witness positively refused to do. Some of the incidents of the day are as follows: . . ' "Have the police commissioners seen that the laws were enforced"."' "Yes sir, the police commissioners have given the best protection to the citizens of New York thev ever had and the people are satisfied witii the police force. There may be a few dishonorable men on the force, but the remaining members should not be held responsible for their acts." ' "In the months of July Captains Cross, Devery and Doherty were dismissed from the force for permitting disorderly houses to run, while Captains Price and Martens and Haughey and Westervelt were only fined for the same offence. Please explain the different, sentences." "The cases against Cross, Doherty and Deyery were entirely different from the others. The three captains who were dis missed were also convicted of taking money for protection from the keepers of disor derly houses." ' . , "Is it net right that those captains fined belonged to what is known as the Sheehan Williams risg?" - ' ' ' : "I never heard of such a ring. "Haven't certain commissioners taken pains to protect certain captains?" , "I have never heard of it." Mr. Goff read the presentment of the grand! jury in March 1892, calling for the suppression of vice and the weeding out of the corruption from the police force. "That is a general indictment, said tne witness. "I believe it was learned after wards that it was based on the reports of newspapers." . "Why, the supenntendant himself was before the grand jury." "Oh yes, 1 believe he was. "Haye you heard that Mr. Tabor, the foreman of the grand jury, said, in an m terviewrthat from S7,000,000 to 10,000,000 was paid annually to the police for protec tion9" ' "If Mr. Tabor made that statement he lied." "Do you mean to say that Mr. Tabor, a respectable merchant, Ded?" "I mean to say that if he made that state ment he lied." OM 1- A "Is that Henry M. Tabor?" asked the chairman. "Yes sir," replied Mr. Goff. "Did Mr. Tabor lie when he said that the police department of this city received blackmail?" . . "He lied when he said the police depart ment received $10,000,000." "That's not the question. Did he he when he said the police department received blackmail?" , B . , "Why, Mr. Goff, blackmail ha beenpaid the police for twenty years." . "What do you know about it?" said the chairman sharply. t "Nowdfd Mr? labor lie when he said the police received blackmail?" ' "He mav have some specific evidence to base his belief upon. He lied when he said the police received $10,000,000." "1 want to place you on record. Do you mean to say that Mr. Tabor lied only about the amount?" , 1 c . It took a long time to get the answer, but oMastth witness said: "Mr. Tabor lied only as to the amount paid." Then the witness said: "Why it would 10.000,- OHO annually from tnis city wuuout people rising up and crushing them. "That is what they are doing now, quietly said Chairman Lexow. fter recess Commissioner Sheehan said he would like to quaniy tne suuemeut made about Mr. Tabor.

There was a turn for the better at the Stock Exchange today and, except for an attack on the cosJen hortly after the opening and a heavy sell ing movement in American Suar near the close, the market presented a much timer front than of late. The coaler at the start were firm, an In-iniry to cover ihort con tracts being noted and particularly in New Jersey Central, and a recovery of 1 to lj per cent, followed.

The decline in New York Central bringing in London buying orders, the selling ceased .and the stock rallied to 91. The strength of Sterling exchange helped thoe operating for lower prices in the stock market as it gave rise to rumors of gold exports later in the week Sterling, however, closed easier, owing to a marked falling off in the demand.

Cmcuio, Oct. 30. Wheat made a gain of to 2c in price to-day and the bulls now prof ess to have seen the last of low prices. To New York and St Louis is due the credit of starting the advance, although the local crowd were taking a prominent part in the late buying movement. The English cables which were on hand at the opening were firm, and New York reported buying in their market by foreigners, while they in turn werefpicking up wheat in this market. St. LoiuVnot to be behind with bull news, rToTtpd Texas stocks getting low and mill ers in that State, taking their suppiiss-Xro4 Missouri and Kansas, ihe same town was reviving the wheat feeding stories for the purpose of enthusing the Chicago bulls. The strength culminated at the close, a general desire to buy. being noticeable. December wheat opened c 52Sc, sold between 52 to 52ic and 521c, cloSi:g at52 to 521c, with the gain already mentionad. Cash wheat was in good demand and strong. . Prices showed an advance of c. . Corn had another day of strengui, activity and interest. The news was all bullish.

Oats naturally took part in the upward trend. The buving was largely to cover shorts who felt ill at ease with the other grains advancing. The trade had nothing of unusual interest in it, the business being of general character. May closed 4c higher than yesterday. Cash oats were 4c higher. Irovisions The trade in product was list less and inclined to drag. There was a little of strength in the liye hog market at the yards and provisions had nothing to direct them at the start. A few selling orders found no bids and prices settled back, but afterwards reached something of firmness from grain. The close was 5 to 7ic higher for January pork,yc for January lard, and 24c higher for January ribs. Domestic markets were firm. Backet Shops Closed. Pitts Bt' eg. Pa., Oct. 30. As a result of the crusade against the "bucket shops" inaugu rated last Saturday night, two of these con cerns have already gone out of business. The Fourth Avenue Stock company quit business yesterday and neither of the pro prietors can be located this morning. The North American, of which C. L. Reno was manager, has also ceased to do business. The tickers have been removed from both of the above concerns and nothing remains to-day except the blackboards and painted signs on the doors and walls. The other shops still open are almost .everted by their customers. t; , ., Matters about the "discretionary pooh are very quiet to-day and no business -Is being transacted. One rumor afloat is that a prominent churchman, treasurer of the board of trustees, is to-day anxiously seek ing the loan of a sum sufficient! to make good a considerable shortage in his accounts with the church.
