The Wake County Farmers Alli
ance will hold an institute here on
the 10th of May. ! Governor FoWle is
expected to deliver an address in the
morning of that day. The Alliance
has nearly 2,000 members in Wake.
! Steps are to be taken to get posses
sion of that mysterious fellow, Robert
Leeson Porter. There is money here
in bank for him. It was sent by his
sister, who lives at Cork,' Ireland.
Porter is in Killsboro, in jail,! but is
well cared for. He is now entirely in
sane, it appears, jit is very probable
that he will be sent to his family m
Ireland.

Mr. J. H, Winder, who is interested
the large granite quarries at Gray
stone, near Henderson, tells me that
his contracts for the present year
aggregate 1.2,000 tons ot stone. In
other words, he has all he can attend
' to in that line. 1
Although it was quite plainly" stated
to your correspondent that work on the
Georgia Carolina and Northern rail
way was soon to be resumed, yet it
appears that there is some doubt as to
the immediate resumption. It will be
the end of Mav before there can be
definite news on the subjact. -
General orders No. 3, from the Ad
jutant General's office, fix the date of
the encampment of the First Brigade

inclusive, lne brigade commanded
by Brigadier General W. H. Anthony,
consists nf nil th tehitft trnnna in fhn
State, twenty-nine companies of in
fantry and one troop of cavalry. 1
No men enlisted after June 1 of
each year are permitted to attend the
encampments. This is a wise regula
tion. It will stop what, might become
a practice of enlisting at the last mo
ment, to get the tour of camp duty,
and then becoming careless as soon as
the encampment is over. It will also
eliminate raw recruits.
Governor Fowle will ride in a car

I'Our best information is that the bag

and more determined than it was last
season for plundering the cotton
farmer, and that swe must pay such
price for-jnte bagging as they-may
exact, unless we can procure a substi-

resolve not to use a tinale vard of trust

such substitutes as they may be able.'?

Bold Attempt at Bank Bobbery.
Minneapolis, AI inn., "April " 1C A
bold and nearly successful attempt
was made at noon ! to-day t to .- rob the
State bank. Two' .men went into the
bank when only two 'employees were
present. One covered the employees
with a revolver - ' while -the other
vaulted over the railing and thrust
about $8,000 on the teller's taWe into
a valise. At this moment a depositor
entered and this forced the uncover
ing of the assistant cashier, who
rushed to the safe to get his revolver.
The robber threw the valise to his
accomplice who dashed; 'into the
presidents room by mistake. He then
jumped through the window and fled.
Meanwhile the other man had also
escaped. There was a wild rush, into
which three or four policemen joined,
and -finally the two robbers were
caught and lodged m jail.
The names of the men are giyen as
James Henry and Fred Douglas.

at Fourteenth street and Union Square
were being cut down:
Hundreds of people gathered in no
time to witness the novel sight of men
cutting down telegraph poles. Two
gangs, one on eaehgide of the Street
attacked the poles,. Another company
of strong armed wood choppers made
an attack on the poles on Sixth
avenue; they commenced on both sides
of the avenue at Twenty-third street
and intend cutting all the poles on the
avenue as far as fifty eighth street.
The Mayor sent to the Commissioner
of Public Works to-day a letter noti
fying him of the poles and wires that
were to come down. They were as
follows: On Sixth avenue from Twen
ty-third stree to Fifty-eighth street,
except the Western Union wires on

fifth street; except the fire department
line, on Twenty-third street from
Sixth avenue to Broadway, on Twenty-fifth
street, from Sixth avenue to
Broadway, and on Fortysecond street
from Sixth avenue to Madison avenue
One of the telegraph poles on the
Broadway side of Union Square, which
was being taken down by the gang of
men fell, suddenly, and a passing
Broadway street car narrowly escaped
getting crushed. No one was injured
however. Ten. poles were cut down
every half hour.- The I gang on the
west side of Broadway have cleared
Tiffanv Block. Commissioners Gib-
bens, Hess and Moss were on the spot.
and say they are glad that the poles
are at last coming down; -

with cheers by the crowd. Commis

so as to be ready for any emergency.

Trouble in the Coal Regions.
Punsutawney. Pa., April 16. A
general strike is imminent in the
Jefferson county coal regions. Au
thorities at the Adrian mines have
offered theiremployeesthirty-five;cen's
instead of forty, the present rate. The
miners have declined the reduction,
and if an attempt is made to force it
upon them, as is extremely probable,
all of the other companies will make
a similar reduction and the result will
be a general strike, involving several
thousands of miners.
It is said that large coal buyers are
holding back their orders in anticipa
tion of lower prices for coal, when the
reduced scale for mining goes into
effect.

The total annual consumption of
spin is, domestic and imported, in the
United btates is about 75,000.000 gal
lons, with a constantly lessening ten
dency. From this must be deducted
10 per cent, for spirits used in manu
factures. The total annual consump
tion of malt liquors i about 600,000,
000 gallons, and of wines, foreign and
domestic, less than 22,000,000 gallons.
At wholesale prices the cost of this
liquor is not above $450,000,000. But
by disingenuously estimating its cost
at five and ten cents a drink, the total
may be swollen to $750,000,000 or
thereabouts.
