Wise, the Democratic Rep resentative from this district, whose seat is contested by jex-Judge Edmund Waddell, his Republican opponent,has filed his answer to the latter's notice of contest. In Mr. Wise's answer he charges that Waddell's friends voted the names of negroes who bad died months before the election. Of Carter Marshall, one of these. Mr. Wise says: "I assert, and shall prove, that said Marshall had been jdead for months. It is unfair to coun a living voter for you who did not vote, but it is impossi ble to make a dead man vote, even in the darkness of night, when the dead are alleged to leave their graves. I shall prove that this was not the only dead man whose ghost was required to vote for vou that night. Some even had the boldness to venture out during the day." To Conduct the Slaye Trade.

WILMINGTON. N. 0.. SATURDAY. JANUARY--19. 1889. in - i H i WAS IT INTENDED? SINGULAR ACTION OF A HAYTIAN GUNBOAT. The American Steamer Ilmln tt nubile Ttan Into at Port u Prtncr tUrtliquake Shack In Wetern Kilinbareh TwentT Iir Lost In Hjda CoIlUrj. Port 4U Prince. Havti. Jan. 3d The steamship Haytien Republic was run into by the gunboat Nouvelle Voldrogue on the night of December 20, inflicting, but slight damage to either vessel. The Haytien gunboat was entering the harbor at full speed and eould have steamed to her anchor age without !any change of course, but when within twenty yards of the Haytien Republic her helm was sud denly put to port and remained! so until she strhek that vessel. Then her engines were rversed and she backed to a distance of 200 yards. She then again steamed at full speed until with in a short distance from the steamer, when her course was slightly changed, thus just missing her. The gunboat wa3 hailed both times, but no answer was made, besther did her -captain attempt to ascertain the amount of damage she nad done or offer atsist ance. . I After asce rtaining the damage done the Galena sent an armed boatVcrew to the offending gunboat, where the statement wa3 made that the jamming' ot tne tiner ropes was the cause of the collision. It; is the opinion that it was a deliberate attempt to sink the re leased ship. It is a question whether the scheme was originated by higher authority than the captain of the gunboat. r A Board ot the Galena's officers met next day and a demand for an investi gation was made upon the Haytien Goyernmentj these reports will be con sidered and redress demanded upon the return of Galena from Kingstop, Jamaica, on January 9th, whore she steamed on January 1st, to coal and communicate by cable with the Amer ican Government. ! On December 31st Legitime offered to pay an indemnity of $100,000 to the owners of th) Haytien Republic. This will be accepted, one-half payable im mediately add the remainder in install ments. The released steamer was then at the request of Mr. B. L. Morse, the owner, turned over to him by Admiral Luce. A crw will be cablK,for from Kingston, and she will retvrh to New York about February 1st, with a cargo of logwood. Admiral Luce has notified the Haytien Government that he con sidered the blockade of all the north ern j or s voluntarily raised, because of the desertion of their post thereat by ail the Haytien blockading squad ron. He wrte to Secretary Whitney tbat in case of i the illegal seizure of any other; American vessel he would rdemand theirtrelease at the cannon's mouth." ' ; r M .Legitime continues his arrest of al leged conspirators, many being of per sons supposed to be his supporters. No organized conspiracy -seems to have existed! but only individual dis satisfaction. Hyppohte still remains encamped about twenty miles from Port au Prince, awaiting the over throw of Legidme by his own people ana a peacerui surrenaer or tne city. Bv not using force he wishes to win the approval of the southern Depart mentof his candidacy for President. The Galena reached Jamaica to day, and reports all well on board. Admiral Liuce has teiegrapned tor two more ships at Port au Prince. London, Jan 18. A shock of earth- auako was felt to dav in a portion of the Leith Valley and in Western Edin burg, but no;damage was done. An explosion! of fire damp occurred to-dav in the Hyde collierv, near Manchester, lost. Seven Tnirty-iive lives were bodies have been taken from the mine. When the Parnell commission met this morning, R. T. Keid, M. P., one of the counsel for the Parnelhtes, called tne attention ot tne court to a placard issued by the Sheffield Tele graph, on which are printed the words "The League Murder Ring pontes sion in O pan Court." Presiding Jus tice Hannen requested that the matter be embodied in an affidavit and sub mitted to the court. The taking of evidence was then resumed. Captain Piunkett, chief of the Cork pohtetestified as to the pei- petration or outrages. Me said he knew of no support given to tenants in thc?ir j non-payment of rent and resistence to eviction, except that given by the ! Land and National Leagues. Matters had improved since the passage of the coercion act. Referring to the further disclosure of documents Mr! Afquith. of counsel for Parnell,said!tr t after consultation with Sir Charles; Russell, it had been decided not to press the inspection of the alleged fac simile letters of Parnell. Captain Piunkett, on cioss examina tion, created! a sensation by stating that he had heard Father O'Connor, parish priest (of Firies, denounce at the cattle sales a farmer named Cur tin, and that a week later the farmer was murdere. j Father O'Connor did not name Curtin, but he alluded to him in such a way tbat there could be to whom he meant.

Messenger Bureau I Raleigh. N, C, Jan. 1?. 18S9. The grand ball did not come to an end until after 2 o'clock this morning. At one time, when it began, there must have boen 2,500 people in the great warehouse. It was a warm place, and it was fortunate that the weather was warm, else there would have been plenty of colds. About 1.000 persons shook hands with Gov ernor Fowle, who stood under a capo py .-uricg ma reception, wnicn Degan at U:ro and ended at 10:30. He was attend by the general staff. On his rjgat was hi daughter. Miss Helen r uwle, and on his left Mrs. D. B. v?ra, another daughter, while bis two yourgest children, Mary and Dan, were also m tho reception pavilion.

It was simply grand. Mrs. Jarvis, Mrs. Pembroke Jones and Miss Helen Fowle wore the most admired costumes. . r . , :. At 9;30 this morning Governor Fowle met your correspondent, as he was on the way; to the executive office. He ! expressed himself as greatly pleased at thej perfect system with which the inauguration coremonies had passed off. And well he might be. There was not a hitch anywhere. j The last of the military left this morning. The troops, made a hne ap pearance, though not many were here. The members of the State Guard will be pleased to know that the indications are very favorable for an appropria tion for an annual encampment.

Holt was in the President's chair in the Senate to day. He looked tolerably well. He is a man of great energy and will power and some of his friends fear that he will overexert himself. . The police report that no arrests were made yesterday. This is a high compliment not only to Raleigh peo ple but to visitors as well. The colored members of the Legis lature have been very quiet so far. They have introduced some bills, but none of importance I Governor Scales' message, : printed, was laid upon the member's desks in the Legislature to day. Mr. Sam Telfair and Mr. Bryan Satterthwaite, Governor Fowle's Pri vate Secretary and Executive Clerk respectively, are making a great many friends already. They are estimable young men-. -. . There were several hundred callers at the Executive office to day. The courteous new Governor had a hand shake and a pleasant word for all. Auditor banderlia, also nad many visitors, i nis popularity is marked. Mr. J. D.' Boushall is to be his Chief Clerk, and Mrs. Minnie Bagley will be continued as pension clerK. Mr. Richmond Pearson is here. ' He looks forward to a new Republican policy,-whieh will secure a division of the colored vote. His views agree precisely with those of Congressman elect Ewart, of the ninth district. The latter does not think that negroes will oe given any prominent positions in tne South. The city was quiet to-day, especially so after yesterday's excitement. The capital club was open all day yesterday and last night and five ser vants were kept busy serving lunch to visitors. Hundreds of ladies were among the visitors. V Some members of the Germania Band stayed over to-day and saw the city. This splendid band was specially honored yesterday. Not only d id it head the procession, but it was sent for to play at the inauguration and after Governor Fowle's inaugural had been delivered plaved "Carolina" most melodiously. Among the most welcome visitors here were Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Bryan, ot wiimmgton. botn ot whom are always given a warm greeting in Raleigh. . , Gov.

There will be a determined effort on the part of an element of the Demo cratic party to force the passage of a law establishing a RaUroad Commis sion. The Legislature ought to thor oughly investigate the question wuether there is necessity for such addition to our laws. The Inter-State law having been passed and the Com mission thereunder having been appointed with jurisdiction over the entire United States, the Legislature may well consider this fact and the operation of this law in deciding whether a Commission shall be estab lished m this State. The financial condition of our people will not justify an increase of salaries and State expenses, unless tcero is absolute need of such legislation. Just Tribute to A. O. Andrews.

Tho immediate effect, in the iron market is a weaken ing of prices, aid Southern irons are still offered at fifty cent less than similar Eastern grade, though the latter aro about fitly cents lower than a -wfeek ago for foundry grades. Bar iron, except tho beat, is exceedingly dall ; and it is again stated that steel rails can be had at prices equal to $27 at the milU, alw thus far, for 18i9, being only 434,331 tons. The coal market is aI?o drooping, and there is complaint that rates are cull by individual operators, and that restriction fails to restrict. The movement of dry goods is great ly retarded in nearly all parts of the country by the unseasonable weather, and while sales of woolens are but moderate there is no animation in cottons, though prices are firm. The open winter affects the marketing of goods by country merchants, and also retards the marketing of products by farmers, and thereforo collection?; so that complaints of slowness arajiiach more- numerous, liuf the moaey markets aro substantial. All points reporting are good. While actual dullness of trade is complained of oc- casionany at most points, Dunnes is called quiet or fair for tho season. The light demand at present for raw wool or cotton, does not prevent tho firmness of pneet, since holders have great confidence that manufacturers will presently buy more liberally. Wheat speculation has again tended downward, exports from the Atlantic ports for six weeks past having been phenomenally dull.
