Smith vs. Smith, from Columbus, new trial; McNeill ys. Railroad, from Moore, affirmed. j The Roanoke Railway and Lumber com pany's road extends twenty miles In Beau fort and Washington counties. The com missioa has affidavits that the road had hauled passengers and freight for other than the corporation itself. Cohn alleged that the corporation had contracted the road to a man named Parker who had col- , lected charges without knowledge or con sent of the corporation and in direct viola tion of its orders, and that he and not the corporation is responsible. Tne commis sion has not fully dec ded the matter, but is of opinion that the company should be assessed for taxation. The State, it is said, has a perfect right to tax an individual owning a railway. The Marrietta and North Georgia railway has been repeated called on by the commis sion for an annual report, but has failed to make a return. The commission directs the solicitors of that district to collect the pen alty of ?lfe from the company for this neg lect or refusal. , The Seaboard Air Line makes request to . be allowed to ship freight oyer its line from Durham to points on the Raleigh and Au guhta Air Line contrary to the order given some time ago requiring freight to be shipped by the nearest jroute and - that the joint rate Bhould be 10 per cent, less than the ordinary charges. The commission ex pressed willingness to do this, provided the road in so shipping deducts the 10 per cent, so as to equalize the cost. - President Winston, Professor Gore and H. I H1.

Refuse to Sln Wilde's Petition. Paris, Nov. 26 M. Emile Zola has refused to sign the petition for the release of Oscar Wilde from prison, and most of the other literateurs who have been approached on the subject have either declined or returned ambiguous replies. It is likely, in conse quence of these rebuffs, that the promoters of the idea of an international petition of writers for Wilde's release will abandon it. A City .cllior Beaten. Huntington, W. Va., Nov. 26 City Edi -tor Yowell, of the JSvening limes, who was sent to jail last Saturday for contempt of court and released on habeas corpus pro ceedings, was attacked at 1 o'clock this morning by a prty of prize fighters whom he had been writing up. They beat him ia a horrible manner. His left eye is ruined, and his condition is critical from the effects of the beating. ' Catarrah of the Head Is due to impure blood and cannot be cured with local applications. Hood's 8ar8apirilla has cured hundreds of casps of cararrh because it purifies the blood and in this way removes the cause of the disease.

The Caucasian, Senator Butler's paper, is ; this week putting in a $4,000 press The Senator is getting ready for his daily and for a lively campaign. Yesterday morning a negro man, said to ' hail from Indiana, created quite a sensation at the First Baptist church fiere by taking a seat on the lower floor, though tn ere is a gallery specially reserved for negroes. He attempted to argue that he had a right to a Beat there, but the ushers showed him his , error and he departed, but not without I many words. It is the second time such a thing has ever oc curred here. This morning the State Farmer's alliance purchased from the estate of the late Paul C. Cameron, at Hillsboro, the old military dcademv buildings Of these there are hve. all of brick save one, and" 40 acres of land Tbe price paid is 3,500. It is tne purpose to have the place made a postoffice and build a town there.

The main building is 215x36 feet, three stories in height The former mess hall and chapel is 21x30 feet, it is the nlan of the alliance to thake every thing which the farmers use. The alliance has figures which show that North Caro lina's proportion of the shoe manufactures of the country s $5,700 000. and its part of profits ought to be 67rf.000. ' Still the work of building cotton mills goes on. Excellent progress is being.made at the big Steele mills near Rockingham. An operatives' town of 00 people will be there.

' , Work on the Baptist State Female uni versity here has been resumed, after three months stop. Tte trustees declare it shall only go on as fast as they are able to meet the bills. Rev. D. H. Tuttle. who a year ago was so dt-eply interested in the Holiness or Sanctin cation movement, on Sunday preached at his church here, the Central Methodist, a sermon on tbe "8econd Coming of Christ." while the special object of the sermon of Rev. Dr. Daniels, pastor of the First Pres byterian church, attackei the grocery stores which have barrooms attached. ; j Some of the newspapers are ridiculing i fcnator Butler's assertion that the sil?er Senators can or will capture all the Senate committees. The Farmers' alliance is making a great effort to increase its membership in this State to something like the old figures. That will hardlv be accomplished Ihe State organ of the order sys that without tbe alliance political reform will be well nigh impossible and that it3 members will not vote for men known to be antagonistic to tbeir interests. The alliance is the father of Populism in this State certainly. The alliance organ in printing Governor Carr's Thanksgiving proclamation, says: "It tells about rising prices and other things not yet in sight " Mr. F E. Hge has moved from Newbern here to take charge of the poultry depart ment of the State experiment farm. He will visit the poultry divisions at the New York and Rhode Island experiment farms.

They are to have a joint meeting here Thursday, a sort of Thanks giving affair, so to speak. Senators Butler and Pritchard, C. A. Cook and others are booked to make talks. Ex (bngressman John Nichols, of this city (Republican), is for fusion on both the State and electoral tickets by Popul sts and Republicans, and declares that he cannot see bow they can be separated; that the Populists see the Republicans will win nationally and will vote for Republican electors. The snn'M oiton Review. New York, Nov. 26 The Sun's cotton re view sa vs: Cotton fell 4 pointa then recov ered this and aavanced 5 to 7 points, then lost this and closed barely steady at a net decline of 4 to 5 points, with sales of 239,900 bales. To-day's features were: The bulls were undoubtedly disappointed at the early Liverpool news, for that market made prac tically no response to the rise here yesterday and the result was a moderate demand at the outset But the lost ground was speedily recovered when the recceipts were found to be moderate, and local and Southern opera torn showed a disposition to buy and a very ' fair advance followed. After all, Liverpool i was still active and the receipts not only at I the ports, but at the interior towns con ; tinued to be considerably blow those of last I year and 1893. The Houston estimate for i to-morrow, moreover, was moderate. New I Orleans sent buying orders There was a j better local trade in dry goods. The finan cial and political outlook in Europe was ! more favorable and British consols were higher Still later, however, the market got i another set back from the surprisingly large :stimateof the New Orleans receipts to : morrow and local -outhern and Liverpool ; selling. There is believed to be an under I current of strength, but just at the moment many operators are inclined to even up their transactions forfear something mav hap pen over the Thanksgiving day. The spot demand continues brisk here and abroad. The European political and business situa ! tion is brighter, and the majority of opera tors believe that the crop is decidedly smal ler than that of last year. Frne Si'vr Democrats in Florida. Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 21 A confer ence of the free silver Democrats of Florida was held here to dav under a call issued by Frank K. Harris, editor of the Ocala Banner. The conference was attended by Hon. Wil kinson Call, United Spates Senator from Florida Senator Call took a prominent p rt in the proceedings He expressed himself as being unqualifiedly in favor of the free coinage of si ver on equal terms with gold. The sentiments of the Senator were heartily endorsed and the following resolution was unanimously adopted: Hesolved, That it is the sense of this con ference that it is absolutely essential to the welfare of the people of the United States that silver and gold be placed on an exact equality in the coinage laws of the country. It was decided that the delegates to the conference organize Democratic free silver leagues in their respective counties, with a view of sending only free silver delegates to the State Democratic convention, and that every member of these leagues be pledged to support only free silyer men for any office within the gift of the people. A Man and a Woman Hanged. Savannah, Nov. 22 A special to the Morn ing News from Warrenton, Qa . says: At 12 o clock to day Florence English and Amanda Gody paid the penalty on the scaf fold for the murder of Cicero Gody, the hus band of Mandy, last May. The scene of the murder is near Norwood, in this county. Amanda Cody and. her paramour Florence English killed Cicero Gody in his own home one night, with a rock and a piece of wood, his bo iy being buried near the house, and every day the guilty pair would visit his temporary grave and see if the corpse of their victim still remained. His absence from home created suspicion and his body whs found hidden under some leaves and pine straw. The murderers acknowledged their guilt and were hung to-day for the crime Both went through the trap to gether. Both declared as usual, that they were bound for the Promised Land. Thou sands of negroes were in town to witness the hanging, but were disappointed.

Immenno Damage to Property In Towns and Country. Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. 26 One of the worst wind storm9 that Cleveland has ever known began in the very early hours this morniDg and increased in severity until about 5 o'clock, when the greatest velocity of wind in the history of the Cleveland weather bureau was attained. This at least was the estimate of the weather men. At 5 o'clock the wind blew at the rate of fully seventy -four miles an hour and probably at a higher rate. Violent guts were frequent above the steadv undercurrent, and they had a tendency to tear roofs, chimneys, etc from their fastenings. The rainfall yester day was something over an inch. It did not stop till past midnight, and almost with its cessation the wind began to blow. While at its height, the wind veered from a southerly direction, and thus the lake was at its roughest. Tbe wind seemed to have attained its most remarkable velocity in the vicinity of Erie and Superior streets When day dawned the entire neighborhood presented a sc-ne of wrecsage Music hall on Vincent street presented a broad front for the gale. A gable, about eight feet high and fifty feet from the ground, extending across the en tire Vincent street front, was blown to the street. The frame steps leading to the au ditorium entrance were completely demol ished by the falling stone and brick. At th northeast corner of Superior and Erie streets, a few hundred yards from the Vin cent street frout of Music hall, is St. John's cathedral, the tower of which, one of the highest in the city, showed the eff-ct ofthe storm. The top was fully five feetut of line, the steeple leaning toward the north east Reports from various parts of the city in dicate that tbe damage to property will reach many thousand dollars. No loss of life is reported. Telegraph and telephone wires are down all over the city. A special to the Press from Put in-Bay, Ohio, savs : .The roof of V. Poller's store, the parapets of the town hall, and the front nf th mnaeum were blown off this morn- inr A fWl hand of the steamer Meesen- gr, known as "Reddy," was found drowned at-Fox's dock this morning. He was blown from the dock during the night A nnpp.ial to the Press from Bowling Ohio, savs: A terrible wind, with nJarv thps force of a hurricaner struck Wood county early Tuesday morning. In this citv buildings were unroofed, plate glass broken, chimneys blown down, and the streets strewn with debris. a Pre renresentative rode through the nil fields this morning, and in a distance of oitrht mi Ips not a half dozen derricks were standing. The amount of damage done in the oil fields is hard to estimate. There are hundreds of derricks blown down. Farm ers report much stock killed. ' Telegraph wires and long distance telephone wires are down ' , . " A special to the Press from Akron. Ohio, says: The high wind that visited the city this morning aia consiueraoie umagc throughout the city. The tin room of the Akron cereal mill was torn off by the wind and thrown into the street. A large tree crashed through the bay window into the residence of ex Governor Egerton. Detboit, Mich., Nov. 26 A hurricane struck this city this morning, but beyond carrying down telephone and teiegrapn wires and a couple of electric light towers and destroying numberless shade tree3,little damage was done. Grand Haven, Mich., Nov. 26 Only in one previous year has winter set in as early as this year. It snowed furiously all last night and there are drifts six feet high in the main streets to day. Trains on all the railroads are in bad shape, and country roads are completely barricaded. Already there is slush ice in the mam channel of Grand river, a record unprecedented. Muskegon, Mich , Nov. 26 The heaviest November snow storm that has visited this section in many years raged last night. Twelve inches fell in eight hours. Street ; car traffic is susped and railroad trains are i from six to twelve hours late. Toledo, Ohio, Nov. 26 Reports from the oil fields south of this city say that damage amounting to over f 100,000 was done to oil property by the storm last night and this morning. Not a derrick is standing and boiler houses and engines were dismantled. This city suffered less from the storm than was expected The wires to the south of Toledo are all down and nothing can be heard from points where it is said the wind wrought ereat havoc. A telephone message from Fremont says that not a derrick is standing in the Sandusky county oil fields. Cincinnati, Nov. 26 A terrific wind storm swept over this section last night doing con siderable damage to property. Trees were nprootedj buildings unroofed or wrecked, telegraph poles and wires blown down and several boats in the river were torn from their moorings and set adrift. " The watch men and crews of packets and towboats were all aboard and consternation reigned among them. None of the boats had steam np and they were, therefore, left to the mercy of the gale after the lines had parted. A f 4,1)00 barge was sunk at the marine dry dock Nearly 10 empty barges were set adrift from the Queen City landing The damage in the river here will amount to ei,ooo. Gotleib Lunsch lager, ager, 53 years, mar ried." living at 1942- Pulte street, was fright ened to death by the storm. . . ( Cleveland. Ohio. Nov 26 A special to the Pre from Lorain. Ohio, says : An ac cident occurred at the new St Mary's Cath lic church here during the wind storm this morning The walls had been completed and the truss put up for the roof When tbe storm struck the church the north wall was blown out and the other walls were wrecked with the roof truss. Chicago, Nov. 26 A blizzard descended upon ('hicaeo ! yesterday afternoon It f nowed.and between times sleet pelted down piUously. When night came the downpour of the mixture of snow and rain and sleet came heavier, and the witd, which was gutty in the afterncon, ro?e to a gale. Tbe streets and sidewalk were flooded with 8luh. Street car traffic was seriously m terffrred with; trollev lines were broken with the weight of the snow. Telephone and telegraph wires were hlowh down, broken and crossed, until half the wires in the city were made useless Bv midnight all communication with the outside world was entirely cut off To-day matters are almost as bad. Telegraph and telephone communication has not been re sumed. The street railways are scarcely able to run even at long intervals, and the streets them-elves are ia a worw condition than ever. Trains are late on all the rail roads. Oat on Lake Michigan no ship ven tures to-day. The sea is running high and wind still blows across the water too sturd ily for safety. Buffalo, Nov. 26 One of the most furi ous wind storms of recent years is raging to day over the eastern portion of Like Erie and the tumbling waves are dashing high over the piers here The warnings which were sent out yesterday, however, kept many vessels in port and doubtless prevented a number of wrecks Telegraph wires suffered badly .and communication with the West was for a time cutoff this morning. More than 100 feet of the west bound track of the Bnffalo Creek railroad and over 200 feet of the eastbound tra k near the Humburg turnpise has be-n washed away by the waves from the lake. Near the same point about 400 feet of the Erie track has also gone and 200 feet from each of the double tracks. A dozen or more cars of the Erie line in the same vicinity are wrecked. lNDiANAPOLifvInd.,Nov. 20 -A severe wind storm prevailed in Indianapolis last night doing much damage. Its pith was due north and south and a heavy loss is reported from the country districts. Reports from all directions indicate that the storm in North Indiana was very severe, and did con siderable damage. AMERICAN MISSIONARIES In Armenia Protected, bat Unable to -Leave Their Building To Inslsf on Sending Ship Into tho Boephorus Germany's Position Questioned. Constantinople, Nov. 26 A telegram from Bitlis says that the American mis- n i . i : a. sionaries tnere are iuny guarueu against danger, but are unable to leave their homes. They, therefore, request the presence there of an American consul. There is no safety for them in Van, and this fact makes their removal from their present quarters doubt ful. A telegram from Harpool says that the mission houses which were burned there re- centlv were set on fare separatelv in tne pres onpp nf the Turkish soldiers. Ihe mission college and academy were saved. The loss of missionary property amounted to $88 000. Leading Turks in Constantinople express themselves as mortified at the Sultan's let ter to Lord Salisbury. No permits admit ing additional guard boats into the Darda nelles will be issued for the present. The demand of the powers for such permits will be insisted upon, nevertheless The foreign diplomats will hold another meeting to day, at which this question will, doubtless, be discussed. The Armenian Hunchagists or revolu tinnarv committee in Constantinople are planning another riotous demonstration. j Vienna, Nov. 26 -The " sugewion " that ; Germany is encouraging tne ounan w re sist the demands of the powers is vigorously denied in a semi official manner here The German Ambassador in Constantinople is one of the firmest supporters of the powers, and it, is contended, if Germany does not osfe- Tnrkpv for the admission of another dispatch boat to the Bosphorus it is mainly to prove to the Sultan that Germany is dis interested, rendering the advice of Germany the morel valualle. Vienna, Nov. 26 -Advices received here from Constantinople state that the foreign Ambassadors to Turfcey have sent identical dispatches to their respective Governments, urged them to maintain, in the interest of dignity, the demands of the powers for per mits allowing the entrance of a second dis patch boat each into the Bosphorus rJEKLIN, iNOV. ine j.urm Gazette publishes an officially authorized denial of the report-" which have been in circulation that the Emperor is not in sym nathv with the demonstrations of the fleets of the powers in Turkish waters. London. Nov. 26 The Times to-morrow will publish a dispatch from Constantino ple saying that the Ministers' report on the guard ship demands, which was sent to the Sultan, was returned yesterday for revision, accompanied by a memorandum from the Sultan's first secretary, which stated that His Majesty feared that the arrival of six war ships would encourage the Armenians to renew the disorders. The Ministers y es terday again debated their report, and came to the conclusion that no reason could be seen for the Sultan's fears. They again recommended compliance with the de mands. Halil Rifaat Pasha sought an au dience with the Sultan to day with a view to persuading him to santion the firman, but he was not successful. Workmen Scalded to Death. New York, Nov. 26 Death and injury to unfortunate workmen was wrought this morniDg by a steam pipe exp'osion in the cellar of Hammerstein s new Oh mpia the atre at Broadway and forty firth s'reets. One man lost his life, another wi ldie, while eight others were very badly scalded. De fective steam pipe fitting is said to be re sponsible for the explosion and arrests may be made in consequence. As the scalded men scrambled up from the cellar where the steam was escaping in volumes, they were hurried to the nearest pharmacy until am ninnces arrived. When the firemen reached the building they had a trying ordeal to go through. The cellar was a vertable sea of hot steam, yet it was necessary for the firemen to go down to save life and look out for the KniisT Thoir Airi the vnrk bravelv and the steam'was turned off from the boiler with out further accident resulting. Weims was found lying dead in a pool ot water in tne rit beneath the flv wheel. The force of the explosion had knocked him senseless and he tell lace oownwarain iour lutara oi bici. He was thus asphyxiated. The men who suffered by the accident were mostly steam fitters, but Weims was an oiler. There wa3 no evidence of the explosion visible from the street and the theatre was not the least damaged by the accident. Four Bie Successes.

Investigating Detraction of Tre ury itcrrd!i Kevnn Cattr t- , signed to Coaa I.irol Duty for thi Winter Triary Dt parttnent Item New Departure in C n tructlon of Itat tlrahtp Deci ded Upon. Washington, Nov. 26 Auiitor Baldwin and Loan Carlisle, who are investigating the recent destruction of treasury records by a colored laborer for the sake of the stamps upon them, intimate that there are others connected with the matter who are of more consequence than the colored laborer. The President has designated the revenue cutter fervice steamers Levi Voibury, A. J.Dallas Samuel Dexter, Alexander Ham ilton, W. II. Crawford and Schuyler Colfax to perform spe ial winter cruising upon the dangerous coasts of the United SUtes. This action was taken in conformity with a sec tion of tbe revised status providing that "The President may, when the necessities of the service permit it, cause any suitable number of public vessels adapted to the purpose to cruise upon the coat in season of severe weather and to afford such id to distressed navigators as their circutu stances may require, and such public vese!s shall go to sea fully prepared to render such assistance." The recent offer of the treamry to pay expres charges both wavs on gold deposited for currency is beginning to bear fruit, as sever tl offers wert received at the treamry todiy. All were accepted It is explained that if the offers are made direct to the nearest sub-treasury bv the tenderer, the transaction will be greatly facilitated The treasu'y gold reserve at the clone of business to day. with todv's cold engage ments de lucted, stands at .S02I 0r0. Gold was withdrawn at NewYork today, as re ported to the treasury, to the amount of f 1,130,000. of which $730 tW was in gold bars and $'400,000 in gol 1 coin. There are the umal conflicting repor's to diy regarding. the contest for tne Houie offiVes. With the arrival of upwards of 100 Republican members the lines are bitig more tightly drawn, and greater interns is excited as to the result. One of the reports in circulation to-day wai that the defeated condidte for clrk would probably be given theothceof sergeant at arun as a compen sation for his failure to secure the office of ; his choice..
