I saw one of you subscribers tell in your columns a few weeks ago how she made money selling Dish Washers. I wrote toUhe Iron City Dish Wesher Co., E. E. Pittsburg, Pa., and obtained one of their Dish Washers and tried it myself first. It is just lovely; you can wash and dry the dishes for a family in two minutes, without touching your hands to a dish or putting them in hot water. I made the first day, $5.00, and every body wanted a Dish Washer just as soon as they saw me wash their dishes. Since then I have made as high as 118.09 a day, and I believe that I can get enough money to keep my brother at school this winter and have money in the bank too. Any lady or gentleman can do as well as I am doing, I am sure, as I had no expe rience. When everybody wants to buy, it is not hard to sell. Anyone can get information by writing the above firm, and I am g,lad to add my experience, be cause I think it i my duty to others to help them over the hard times. VIRGINIA HERNE. J UDGE MEARES HOLDS FORT. THE The Criminal Court at Charlotte Loots Litke the Old Democratic Concern "Judge" Cook's suit , Against Jude Meares. The Charlotte 'Neics of Monday after noon says: The Circuit Criminal court that .was established by the Pops to make offices for Pop judges, solicitors and clerks,was duly launched in Charlotte this morning, with Judge O. P. Meares as it aster of the ceremonies. It looks just like the old Democratic court, and indeed, one would not know the difference. Judge Meares is presiding, Solicitor Brown is prosecu ting for the State and Mr. W. W. Phifer is at the clerk's desk, just as under the old regime. The Pops don't like it, but what are they to do ? It is simply the result of another of their numerous blunders. The Charlotte Observer of yesterday says: . Appended is the complaint and allega tion of Chas. A. Cook, through his coun sel, in the case of Cook vs. Meares. The act creating the new Criminal court was passed by the last Legislature a.nd Cook elected as judge. Governor Garr, act ing under, ad vice of Attorney General Osborne, claimed the constitutional right of appointing the new udge, and appointed, Judge Meares, of the old Criminal court, hence the suit. The case will be tried before Judge Hoke at the next term of ISew Hanover Superior court, at Wilmington, on the 19th inst. Judge Meares is represented by Mr. Rountree, of Wilmington, and Messrs, Bur well, Walker & Canslerf the Char lotte bar. The names of Mr. Cook's counsel are affixed to the complaint be low: - " The plaintiff complains and alleges: 1. Tnat the General Assembly of this State, by azt duly ratified on the 13th day of March, 1895, created and estab lished "the Circuit Criminal court," composed of the counties of Craven, New Hanover, Mecklenburg, Vance, Warren, Robeson, Edgecombe and Hali fax. 2. That said act provided among other things that a judge for said court should be appointed by sai.; General Assembly; that the term of office of said judge should begin on tha 1st day of April, lbUo, and continue lor the term of , four years, and that the aid judge should re ceive as such cornp isation for his ser vices $100 per week for every week he should be engaged i:: holding eaid court, jiot to exceed, hov ver, the sum of 2)0nnyljDneyear; and an additional sum as is provilIetr-ojLSuperior court judges. . 3. That on the 11th day. of Marc 1895, the relator was duly-elected and appointed judge of said court by said General Assembly. 4. That said (act creating and estab lishing said; ciourt .as aforesaid duly passed its several readings according to the provisions of the Constitution of this State as follows, to-wit: In the Senate on th a 4th day of March, 1895, and in the House of Representatives on the 8 th day of the same month. 5. That on the 1st day of April, 1895, the relator was duly qualified as judge of said court by taking the oath as pre scribed by law before the Hon. Walter A. Montgomery, one of the justices of the Supreme court of this State. That the relator of the plaintiff is informed, and he believes his informa tion to be true, and therefore alleges the same to be true, that the defendant has received from the Governor of this State, and has accepted a commission appoint ing him judge of said court and has qualified himself to act as such. T. That the defendant has intruded into and usurped said office and unlaw fully and wrongfully withholds the same from the relator to the relators damage two thousand dollars. Wherefore plaintiff demands judg ment against the defendant as follows, to-wit; 1st. That the defendaut is not entitled tc said cilice and that he be removed therefrom; ' 2nd. That the relator is entitled to said orilce and that he be inducted into the same; 3rd.

The above complaint is the same as that served on Judge Meares in Wil mington before he left for Charlotte. Infanticide at Mt. Airy. Mt. Airy is excited over an infanticide that is supposed to have occurred there on Sunday. On Monday the remains of an infant were found in a creek in the edge of the town, but there was nothing' about it to lead to its identification. DISASTROUS FLOODS. ; HOANOKS, CAPS FEAR AND OTHER RIVERS RAGING. Cape Fear Four Feet Above Danger ljioe at Fayetteville and Still Itlsloe Many Bridge Gone Kaleigh Politics Improve ments at OTford Vlsy lum Senator Batler is Interviewed. Messenger Bureau, Raleigh, April 0. f There is no fear of further frost now. But the floodsi are doing far more damage than frost could have done in this section. At the weather bureau to-day Mr. -VonHer-mann said that the rainfalls were phenom enal. Most of the rain fell Sunday mght. At Morven 3.17 inches fell, and at Chapel Hill 4.75 inches. Reports at 8 o'clock this morning stated that the Roanoke at "VVel don was 31.2 feet, or 4 feet above the danger line, and rising rapidly, and report from the Cape Fear at Fayettevilie said it was 42 feet, or 4 feet above the danger- line, and rising j rapidly. The outlook is for great floods, i The quickness of the rise is phenomenal, ! Mr. VonHermann says. In this county the loss is heavy. Back water m Crabtree creek carried away the bridge (the highest in the county) at the county home. Other bridges on Neuse river and other streams are gone. Lowland crops are badly, hurt. The worst of the rain was from Chapel Hill northward into Virginia. No more railway washouts were reported to-day. A careful watch was kept last night by railway people. The new method of making nominations here, by the Democrats, is attracting more attention to the election than in a long time.-' The persons who are nominated at the primaries for Mayor, etc., are allowed delegates at the city convention Friday night in proportion to the votes they got at the primaries. It is possible that combina tions may be formed. It is certain that the sentiment of the voters, as shown last night was against the present administration. If combinations are made, and there are ru mors of them to-day, they can readily be traced. So to-day politics is the chief topic of talk. The new ice factory here is completed. Its lower story is of brownstone from San ford. The city Republicans are very quiet. There are rumors that they will make des perate efforts to carry the city and that they may attempt colonization of voters. This morning Deputy Sheriff Walters served the summons in the suit of Elias Carr against Octavius Coke, Secretary of State, in the Mortgage bill matter. The complaint was also served. The case comes up before Judge Starbuck April 22nd, in this county. Plans are accepted for a new engine house here fori the, .. hook and gladder truck and Capital hose wagon. The building will be of brick,, 45 by 60 feet, two stories in height, with rooms on the second floor for firemen. Architect Bauer, of this city, has just completed and sent to the Oxford orphan asylum plans for extensive and imposing buildings there. These will greatly enlarge the capacity of that institution and will give it modern advantages. The crop cards for the first monthly re port of the agricultural department will be sent out next week to the; 1,200 correspond ents. . There is much stir here by reason of the dropping of veteran employes of tne Sea board Air Line, Yesterday D. T. Bunch, who had been with the Raleigh and Gaston railway twenty-nine years; S. J. Hunter, twenty years; T. L, Shaw, twenty-three years; Henry Wilton, thirty years, and Albert Johnson over fifty years, were dropped. The dropping of Mr. James Maglenn and of Mr. Dan Hutchings has also caused much feeling locally. The Seaboard has in past years had great strength in its attachment for its employes and in their de votion to it. An afternoon paper here most pointedly-holds un Vice President St. John as the man who is making these changes, and he is attacked right and left. is alleged that the tax on druggists new revenue act will amount to b per cent Mr. Scales, of StaTJSviRe, member of the Democratic State com mmet-Editor Erwin, of the Morganton Herald, and Cdlr-S.McD.

Whiting in regard to secur ing material for the address he is to deliver in this city May 10th on that officer's life and service. He hopes that some of the veterans of Fort Fisher will comje here May 10th. They will be heartily welcomed. Governor Carr makes requisition, on the Governor of South Carolina for Kuge Eas terling and Henry Easterling, who are wanted for larceny in Richmond county. The Governor has notice that Cicero and Tom Eskridge are in jail at Shelby, await ing requistion from the .Governor of South Carolina for larceny of clothing. Mr. Robert L. -.Burkhead to-day retired from his clerkship in the Treasury Depart men. He is the last of the Democrats to go. Maj. W. H. Martin, Republican, succeeds him. Mr. Burkhead will be connected with the Xorth Carolina Abstract and Guarantee company, which will have its office here, and which is now having pre pared abstracts of all deeds, wills, judg ments, mortgages, etc. It will require three or four months to complete this. Lawyers and bankers are members of the company. Ex-Commissioner of Agriculture Robin son was here to-day, and tells me he thinks the sales of fertilisers will be two-thirds as large as those made last spring. He says this is due to the large increase in truck crops, and it is for these that most of the fertilizers are now bought.! Much mention has been made as to Mar ioix Butlers position it the United States Senate. He says now: "lhe fact that my seat is on the Republi can side has no more significance than if it were on what is called the Democratic side. I am a Populist and will stand by and for the people against the evil policies cf both the old parties, till the majority of the peo ple see the truth and join with us in a fight for freedom and prosperity. Those who ex pect the People's party to merge into either the Democratic or the Republican party are sadly mistaken. I think the outlook is more encouraging, and that we can show to the people that the gold bugs control both parties. This done, the patriots in both who are attached to their old parties will leave them and come to us." Even the New York Tribune, Rep., admits that "it is agreed on all hands that improvement continues, in spite of retarding influences." CRIMINAL, NEGLIGENCE. Neglect to JCuiluin- Remote a, the Cause of Condemned l-carful Diaiter -Six 'Person Killed tiy C" I lapse of tlio Building: Danger of a Terrific Explosion. Wheeling, W. Va., April 9 A few. min- j utes past 8 o'clock this morniDg an accident J occurred which threw the city into toe greatest excitement. The five story build, ings, Noa. 1220 and 1222 Main street, occu pied by T. T. Hutchisson & Co., wholesale hardware and saddlery dealers, and W. H. Chapman & Sons, wholesale painters and builders' supplies, collaped with a deafening report, burying ten men beneath the ruins. To add to the horror of the situation tike debris took fire from a nktural eas leak arid dense clouds of smoke aiising, the efforts bf the rescuers were greatly impeded. The greatest damage to life was among the em ployes to Hutchisson & Co., all of whom were at work. At 9 o'clock to-night the list of dead and missing reached six, including Father F. H. Parke, vicar general of the West Virginia diocese, and four wounded, j The Hutchisson building stood on the corner of Alley 9 and Main street, the Chapman building adjoining. At the hour mentioned the employes in Hutchissonrs heard an omnious cracking, and without a i a moments warning or giving the unfor ! tunate men time to make an effort to escape the alley wall fell down with a terrific i crash, carrying with it the entire structures : of both buildings. .Only the rear wall re , mained standing. I Frank Haller, Adam Blum andfT. ; Hutchisson were in the rear office and were saved by the aid of two men who pried off the bars of a back window and rescued the men just before a fall of bricks buried thle J room. j 5 The men in the Chapman building fared j somewhat better. Clifton, one of the work j men, noticed the plastering and the wall j separating them from Hutchison's crumb 1 ling and falling down. He immediately ! gave an alarm and not a minute too soon, for before the men had reached the doos bricks and mortar were pelting them in snowers. All got out in time however. A general alarm brought the fire departs ment promptly to the scene and the work of rescuing was commenced. Blinded and suffocated by the dense smoke, the firemen worked like Trojans and in aboutt wo hours the first victim wras rescued. It was M. J. DeFord who was comparatively uninjured while he was lying directly across Benjamin Pritchard, who . was cold in death, and a. medical examination showed that he had j been killed by being crushed about the chest No more bodies were found until 6:30 o'clock this evening, when the body of Father Parke was taken out of the debris, so. horri bly crushed that the body was scarcely recognizable. In the meantime the fire had gained so that the firemen had to give their entire at tention to subduing it. After twelve hours hard work they got the flames under con trol, but it will be morning before the blaze will be completely extinguished. j Father Parke was walking up the alley when the deplorable affair occurred. Harry .Cowl, the messenger boy, was also killed in the alley while returning from a call. A startling rumor was extant this evening that an explosion was imminent, for stored in the Chapman building is a carload of turpentine and oil. If the flames reach this nothing can prevent a most horrible addition to what is already the most disas trous accident that has occurred in this city. At 7:30 o'clock, however, Chief Healy claims to have the blaze cut off from the oil. The cause of the collapse was the defec tive construction of the Hutchinsson build ing, wmch was condemned two years ago and the wort of removing neglected. THE IISiCUME TAX LAW. Great Uncertainty as to Consequences of the Decision Diversity of opin ion as to Kflect'of the Even ;, Division of the Court. Washington, April 9. The scope and effect of the decision of the Supreme court in the income tax cases, so far as they relate to the collection of the tax upon incomes, other than those derived from rents and in- terest on State and municipal bonds, are the subject of general discussion. A wide di versity of opinion exists upon this point and the various expressions tend to confuse the average mind. I Attorney General Olney. for instanee, is quoted as saying: I o far as the lower courts are concerned, LSion of the bupreme court is as bind ing as if thewhole court had been unani mous in its favor,. I cannot believe that any judge would grant an injunction to prevent a collector from collecting the tax on incomes from cther sources than rents or State and municipaibonds ih the face of the Supreme courts action.HbJe only way I can see by which persons w object to paying the tax can secure judicial action is by their paying the tax under pro test and entering suit for its recovery." But there are other lawyers equally familiar with the practical effect of the de cisions of the Supreme court, who say that the action of the court yesterday binds nO judge in respect of the points as to which the court is evenly divided hot even the Circuit court for the Southern district of S New York, in which the cases originated. "Should a circuit judge hold that the law was unconstitutional," said an attorney this afternoon who has had a large practice iii the Supreme court, "and issue an injunction against the collection of the tax. which, however, is rather improbable in view of the general practice of the courts, that would stand as the law for that circuit, be cause it could not he overturned by-a divided court. Until 'there is a full bench, however. there does not appear to be much probability ot reiier rrom the law." Report of Finns on the Ktbelred Confirmed.. Boston, April 9. Capt. Hopkins, of the British steamer Etheired, which arrived here to-day, says with regard to his being overhauled by a Spanish cruiser, that there i3 nothing to add to the story cabled at the time. The Etheired was off Cape Maysi on the 2nd, when the Spanish warship hoye hi sight and fired a blank cartridge to heave the Etheired to. - Capt. Hopkins stopped his engines, when the Spaniard circled aroudd the I Etheired once, then steamed away. The first part of her name looked like "JJeuve." Capt. Hopkins filed his report with the British consul at Jamaica. Oil on a Boom. Pittsbceg, April 9. Oil is still on the boomr This morning the Standard Oil company announced that it would pay $1.27 per barrel for the crude article. This isjan advance of 17 cents a barrel in two days. On the Oil City Exchange the price; is 10 cents higher, sales being made at $ 1.37 per barrel. i 1 . . TEH THOtTSAND TWO-CEI3TS SEIZED Ul CHICAGO. S 1 Detectives at Work for tho Iasx Month The President Not Urcd -o Call an jEIxtra Session of JmureM Southern Meu Kiilistiojir for Cuban tier- -".vice The Income Tax Matter. ' W ashixgtox, April 9. A Chicago niorn ing'paper printed this morning an account Of the discovery by secret service detectives of an extensive counterfeiting of the pink 2-cent postage stamps. It was stated that a package containing 10,000 of these counter feit stamps had been discovered in the Chi cago ofiice of the Wells-Fargo express. The names of the shipper and consignee were withheld. Third Assistant Postmaster General Kerr Craig, who has supervision of the postage stamps, said to-day that about a month ago he received from a postmaster in the West a counterfeit 2-cent stamp, and upon examin ation with a magnifying glass1 he detected that it was spurious The hnes of a genuine stamp, he said, were even and regular, but the counterfeit was ragged and blurred and the coloring defective. An expeit, he added, could easily tell the good one from the bad. Upon receipt of this stamp, inspectors were set to work, but whether the pres ent discovery was the outcome of that investigation he would not state, but it is probable that the counterfeit was one of the many thousands sent out from Chicago. Mr. Craig said he thought the story some what magnified, but in any event it would not necessitate the recalling of the issue of 2-cent stamps, as postmasters throughout the couutry would be warned of the coun terfeits and be directed to keep a close watch for the spurious article. Postoffice inspec tors in the field will be instructed to use every effort in ferreting out the counter feiters and the secret service detectives will act'in conjunction with them. Private Secretary Thurber's attention being called to the statements contained in a Washington evening paper that the Presi dent was being flooded with telegrams from all parts of the country appealing to him to call an extra session of Congress to repeal the Income Tax law, states that not a single telegram, letter or verbal communication haa been received on the subiect. Information continues to be received at Washington of enlistment of men in Ala bama and Louisiana for service in Cuba. This is in violation of the United States laws, but no information definite enough to jus tify action seems to have been received by United States authorities. Secretary Carlisle has announced that hereafter no resignation of any officer, clerk, or other employe in the Treasury De partment will be accepted when there is cause for any delinquency or Jmisconduct. hf all such cases recommendation for the removal of the offending person must be made, and not simply a recommendation that the resignation be accepted. Advices received from Venezuela state that the Chief Magistrate of the Amacuro region nas been directed by the Caracas Ministry to erect a church on the banks of the Amacuro riyer, which is to form the nucleus of a new settlement which it is in tended to establish there. This settlement will be located on the river directly opposite j to tnat now occupied by the British and is intended as an intimation that Venezuela regards that part of the territory as her own, and that British colonists must not encroach I up it. Commissioner Miller and the officials of j the internal revenue bureau were busy all I day endeavoring to find out where the in ' come tax law as construed by the Supreme i court "left them." Asa full copy of the j Supreme court's decision could not be ob tained, it not having yet been printed, and : as its exact bearing on the preseut regula ; tions could, therefore, not be accurately ; determined, no additional instructions to ; collectors could be issued to day, but direc- ! tions to collectors how to proceed will prob- .ably be ready for issuance to-morrow. In the meantime this telegraphic instruc tions was sent to each of the sixty-three collectors of internal revenue: "Hold income tax list due April 10th until further orders. Retain possession of all returns received." The tax list directed to be held refers to the returns for the previous month in the hands of col lectors, who, under instructions from Washington, forward the list here from his office on the 10th of each month. These lists will now have to be revised to conform to the additional exceptions made by the Supreme court. The Southern Railway Petition Granted. ngtox, April 9. The Southern Rail way has beensuccessf ul in its application to the inter-State-Qommerce commission for authority to chargelesafor longer than for shorter distance for the transportation of passengers between various points of its lines. The decision of the commission granting this request was rendered to-day. The order of the commission is as follows: "That the prayer of said petition be and the same is hereby granted, and 'said South ern Railway company is hereby authorized to charge less for the transportation of pas sengers for longer than for shorter distances over the same line in the same direction, the shorter being included within the longer distance, but only to the extent and upon the conditions following: "1. Such higher rates for shorter distances shall not in any case exceed the lower rates for longer distance by more than $ 5,00. . '2. Such lower rates for longer distances shall not in any case be lees than those pre viously published by the Seaboard Air Line or other competing carriers between the same points. '3. Such lower rates for longer distances shall not in any case be less than the cost of the service rendered. "This order is hereby declared to be tem porary and provisional pending further investigation by the commission, and the same may be modified or revoked at any time and without or with notice in the discretion of the commission." A Victory for Southern Iron. Mobile, Ala., April 9. The Edgar Thomp son foundry and machine works here have secured the contract for the castings of the marine railway to be constructed at Hali fax, Nova Scotia. The bid iwas the lowest submitted in competition wj!th foundrymen elsewhere in the United States and in Eng land. The material factor in achieving this success was the fact that Alabama iron is at least $ 1.50 a ton cheaper than any other iron in the world, while the quality is of the highest. The contract called for about 100 tons of castings. fCOUNTFRFFIT STAMPS T-HJU.NSW JUSTICES. In Opinion From the Attorney Gen. eral on the Status lho&e ?ot QaalWylnjrby pril lt. Special to tae M Clearer, f , Kaleiuk, N. C, April 9. Governor Carr a?ked Attorney Qeneral Osborne for, an opinion as to Whether, if the additional justices of the peace elected by0 the State Legislature failed to qualify on or before April 1st there were created vacancies which he had a right to fill. Tber were 3,000 sucjti justices elected and . the act eaid t&ey were to qualify on or before April 1st. Very few of them have qualified. The Attorney General says mere delay in qualifying does not in itself work a forfeiture of office. He advises that where these legislative ap pointees haw by their own neg ence failed touahfy. it matters not h.'W long after April 1st, and still fail to do so, the Gov ernor should appoint to fill the office thus yacant. If before his appointees qualify the legislative appointees qualify the latter have the better title, while if the Uovc rnor's appointees qualify first they have the better title. If the delay in qualifying is not due to tne negligence of the legislative ap-' pointees because they were not notified in time to qualify April lt then the Governor should not anpomt. This case has aroused very great interest. Ihe Attorney Generals opinion gives the legislative appointees the , inside track. - '' supreme Court i) cisi.nis Special to the Messenger. Raleigh, N.

The Sun's Carton Ueview. New York, April 9. The Sun'g cotton review says: Cotton rose 4 to 5 points, lost most of the advance, then rallied and closed firm at a net gain ot 4 to 6 points, with sales of 113,700 bales. Liverpool advanced 1 point for futures and was unchanged on the spot, with sales of 18,000 bales. New Orleans ad vanced 2 to 4 points. The New Orleans re ceipts to-morrow are estimated at 2,000 bales, against 9,321 last week and 2,510 last year. Manchester will not be closed during the Easter holidays. Silver advanced id in Lon- ' don, ! and i?c here. The receipts at the ports were 26,283 bales, against 11,219 last year. They are expected to be about 110,000 this week, against 03,221 last year. Spot prices in this country were generally unchanged, with a light trade. Mobile advanced i-Hic. Dry goods are firm and the Jaffray sale has been very favorable. Some cotton goods are higher. To-day's features were: The was another bullish budget. It consisted of an active and higher Liverpool market, a bullish tone at Manchester, unfavorable weather advices , from the South, a rise in silver, good buying orders from Europe and estimated small re- ; ceipts at New Orleans to-morrow. The South ' sent some buying orders, though it alto sold.! Local operators covered shorts and also went long to some extent. The under tone was firm. The strength just now is coming more from Manchester than from any other place, and Manchester is boomed up by favorable advices from East India. At wood Violett d: Co. said: 4Cotton can not be brought here to liquidate a sale of contracts nearly as cheaply as the short can cove?" himself on the market- We referred yesterday to the warehouse mock at New Orleans of 251,000 as representing the larg est supply at any one point in the United States, but a valued correspondent there wires us to-day that we are mistaken as to the amount, saying the New Orleans Ex change estimated that the railroads held on April 1st, 73,000 bales, all of which practi cally is in transit, which, deducted, would leave in warehouse an actual stock of about 18 J ,000. We very much doubt if the cotton in presses to-day at the United States ports unsold is 550,000 bales. Another feature of the spot situation in this country is that what remains in the South is 1 in the hands of people who are holding it for higher prices, believing that putting money into cotton at present figures is as safe, or safer, than anything else. That the English spinner must buy. the large sales at Liverpool, which were to-day 18,0J bales, are continually proving. If in February he was taking 82,00u bales a week of all kinds, the consumption cannot be any1 smaller , now. and perhaps is a little larger, as trade t conditions there have improved materially, in consequence of the rise in silver and in- ! creased prospects of trade in the East. The English spinner has been caught napping, as it turns out, now that the Continent and i America have.obtained the largest share of : the cheap cotton, and Great Britain is the buyer when the supply is . dwindling and ) competition increas ing for what remains in this country. The actual stock at Liverpool on March 2Sth, of all kinds wa3 1,781,110 bales, of which 1,053.343 was American. Of the ' remainder 49,176 was Egyptian and only ; 0,99-J East Indian. Is it any wonder that Manchester and Lancashire must see that it is largely American cotton or nothing? Our i Liverpool correspondent5! write under date j of March 30th: 'Cotton is held in very : strong hands by people who will not sell at I present prices, and England will have to j get from America 000,000 bales in the next I five months, but no matter what her re- quirements, how is she to get it?'
