Mr. Mills gays that protection is re- i nJlble for the Republican defeat. Hill's friends are now talking of him for the Senate in place of Evarts. There are 21,247 manufactories in the empire of the Czar of Russia, giving employment to 789,322 people. Senator Barbour tells the Virginians now to go to work and let alone politics fyr some time to come. Good advice. "Bill j- Mabone nays he will live to be one hundred. A Virginian hopes he will be the Republican candidate for Governor through the years. The interest in Sir Walter Scott is go great that the fees paid by tourists to Abbotsfordb is former home,amount to 2,000 annually. v Senator Vance says that the World's Fair should go to Washington as Con-o-rcss appropriates the money. So it ought. Let the beautiful capital of the Union have it. There is a new substitute for tobacco in 'England.. It is a "mixtry" of herbs, and when mixed with the genuine weed it is reported excellent. Lovers of to bacco will stick by the old sort. John Hopkins University, Baltimore, has received $100,000 from a widow. The Messenger is ready to record f-uch a gift for any of our North Caro lina institutions. Who shall it be? I'd ward Atkinson gave an objective lesson in cooking in a recent lecture in Brooklyn. Healthy cooking was his theme. He prepared food on an econ omic nlan of his own and eaters in the audience said it was very good. Secretary Curry, of the Peabody Fund, says the South has thus far given more than 00,000,000 to education, and is now giving $13,000,000 a year. Yet Blair savs the "South is solid ajrainst education." What a . Tac Democratic Governor-elect in Ohio. James E. Campbell, has never been defeated for office. By the way how would Cle velar d and Campbell do for 1892'? Two C's. The alliteration is pleasant. s Pitt Kellogg, the Louisiana Republi can blatherskite, says Harrison's de- I feat was caused by . the negroes, oaculaapleil,- laws- isw,- voting, and they would not vote be cause they are "suspicous of the Presi dent' He will do to watch. The Messenger iu spite of bad crops and the cry of hard times is still forg ing ahead. Since we reported last week in Thursday's issue, twenty-seven new subscribers have been entered. That makes 115 since the 24th of Octo ber and 7S2 since the 24th of May last. Very encouraging. Sam Jones is waking up the Green ville, Miss., people. Great crowds rush to hear the great preacher and "strik ing results are witnessed at each ser vice" says a dispatch. His health is breaking down. If he does not rest he is a doomed man. The. Savannah JYt?cs thinks bad of the postal service. It says: "In the railway maii service Supt. Bell has discharged postal clerks by wholesale, and he has replaced them with a set of inexperienced, and, in many instances, incompetent men. Delays and blunders are noticeably fre quent, and in some sections the 'fast mail" is not worthy of the name." Bill Mahone sa.ys he does not read newspapers. That of course gives the reason of his great defeat. The Phil adelphia Record pointedly puts it: "A politician who does not read the newspapers runs his head in the sand like an ostrich. Had the Virginia triekster kept himself posted he would not have thought it prudent to tempt the people of Virginia with an oppor tunity for revenge." Every popular preacher in the North thinks he is called upon to write a Life ' Christ. Beecher, Crosby, Deems and perhaps others have done so, and now Talmage is working upon one. In England there are many famous lives, uiung me most notable of which are Giekie's, Farrar's and Ellicott's. There are many others, one we not lon'g ago noticed at some length in the MESSEN GER.

A RICH GOLD FIND IN MONTGOM ERY COUNTY. Important Supreme Court Decision Chief JtiKtke Smith finite Ii'-Procedtr In the Cross and White Cae The a. Terror Heary Tobicco IJreaita The Selma Homicide. Messenger Bureau, Raleigh, N. c, Nov. 13, 1889. f The recent decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Killebrew vs. Hines, from Edgecombe, is regarded as a more favorable construction of the agricultural lien law than that given in the cases of Brewer vs. Chappel and Coor vs. Smith, 101 N. C. Report, both of which are over ruled in so larvas they are inconsistent with .the position declared in tho opinion in Killebrew vs. Hines. The Court now holds that after-the landlord is satisfied of his rents then the agricultural lien man, who by his advances has contributed so jireateiy to tne cultivation or the crop, is next to be paid. The Mort gagee cannot take possession of the crop and apply it to the mortgage debt in a case where the mortgagor is per mitted to remain in possession. The general laws of the State provide that the agricultural lien is superior to all others except that of the landlord. Upon the various points discussed in the opinion in the cases of Wooten vs. Hill, 98, N. C. ; Todd vs. Outlaw, 79, N. C; Dunn vs. Tillerjv 79 N. C: Oldham vs. Banks, 84 N. C; Jones vs. Boyd, '80 N. C, and authorities from other States are cited with approval? The Court says, among other things, that equity will not charge the crop so as to defeat the su perior equity of the lienee. To hold that the mortgagee may enter and take the crop to his exclusive use would be dealing a fatal blow to a numerous class of agriculturalists., whose lands are mortgaged. If he could enter and take the crop and apply it to his indebedtness no one could be found to make advances to the mortgagor. The vendor in this case was not in actual possession, but the vendee (or mort gagor) was in tljo actual possession un der a contract at the time the action was brought to subject the crops to the mortgage debt. . Chief Justice Smith for the past day or two has been too unwell to take his seat upon the bench. His trouble is asthma. To-day . he is very ill. It is said that Associate Justice Davis is improving. Your correspondent is informed that the rule iu the Supreme Court of the United States requires that a mandate in the Cross and White case be sent tie Supreme Court of North Carolina, and thereupon a certificate will be transmitted to the Superior Court of Wake county, under the provisions of which" pre scribes: "That, in the criminal cases the clerk of the Superior Court, where udgment has been affirmed (except in capital felonies) shall notify the sheriff, who shall proceed ,to execute the sen tence which was appealed from." Eighth district appeals will tm called in the Supreme Court next Monday. As your correspondent was prepar ing the Raleigh letter yesterday news came to him of the drowning of Mr. John Stone. It was Mr. John L. Stone, who for years was an engineer' on the Seaboard Railway who lost his life in this sad way. His failing health had necessitated his retirement from the road and he had been put in charere of the pump-house here, which supplies the Raleigh & Gaston shops with water. He was seen standing in the doorway of the pump-house at 11 o'clock a. m., and an hour later his body was found lying in a pool of water only thirteen inches in depth. Mr. Stone was 58 years of age and was a very clever man. ie had had several spasms and in one of these had fallen into the water, it is believed. The mails are a terror. It does ap pear that letters cannot go straight. The trains are behind time going east nearly every day. Letters to the Messenger are mailed at the trains dailv. Tobacco is coming in here pretty lively and the market was a busy one to-day. Wake county sends in a great deal, and Chatham, Granville and Franklin are next. Considerable comes in from Nash. Some comes fiom Duplin and Wayne, and Soutk Carolina is also a contributor. The "Appeal to Pharoah" is attract ing a great deal of attention. A gen- tlemau who had read it said yesterday that it was almost cruel in its plain ness. He went on to say that the ne groes win never leave the United States as long as theycan vote, and said that what the author of this nota ble book must consider is their dis franchisement. The right man appears to have been arrested, charged with the double mur der in Johnston county. His name, as you were informed, is John Starling, and he is in jail at Smithfield. He will not be tried until the next term of court, which is some months away. There are several witnesses The gen eral impression is that he is guilty. It was surmised that there would be some important developments at the inquest over the bodies of Mrs. Cenia Brown " and her little grandson, end so it proved. During the inquest Starling, son-in-law of the murdered woman, came up. Mis ac tions led to his beinsr suspected and to his arrest. The tracks, near tha house, were measured and corresponded with Starling's shoes. The old woman had had a auarrel with Starling, and he had been heard to make threats against her life. She owned some property which she had made over to her little grandson who was murdered. By the death of this little boy Starling's wife inherits the property.

It 1 Dedicated with Great Pomp Ceremony A Tiemeodont Crowd and Wit- fees the Serrice- Waruington, Nov. 13. -The dedica tion of tne Catholic University of America, like laying the corner stone of the building, took place in a pouring rain. After the dedication services, the Pontificial Mass of the Holy Ghost was celebrated by Most Rev. Monsig nor Satoili, Archbishop, during which, a sermon was preached by Bishop Gii mour, of Cleveland, Ohio. The University was formally dedi cated and opened with impressive ceremonies In the presence of a large number of prelates of the church and distinguished laymen from all parts of the country. A large part of the cer emonies, however, had to be omitted on account of the inclement weather. The cold drizzling rain,with which the day opened, continued uninterruptly throughout the greater part of the day, and was varied only by occasional drenching showers, which compelled every one to seek shelter in the capa cious corridors of the building. The exterior decorations of the build ing were both elaborate and unique, and, owing to the care with which they had been selected and arranged, suffered but little in appearance from the rain. The interior decorations were simple, but effective. The nation al colors predominated in everything. The banquet hall was specially attrac tive; masses of cut flowers, jSalms and other foliage plants occupied every available space, while flags, both large and small, were draped about the win dows and doors and festooned from the ceiling and chandeliers. The corridors were also effectively decorated. Be tween the windows were shields and escutcheons bearing the names of different States of the Union, and counties of Europe, with dates of the the the establishment of promineut educational institutions in each. These were sur mounted with small American and Papal flags. Everywhere throughout the great building before the ceremonies began, high church dignitaries, laymen, sem inarians and representatives of Fran ciscan, Dominican and Augustine or ders of Monks, each in his distinctive robe of purple, black, wjiite or gray, mingled in picturesque groups. About? 10:30 o'clock Cardinal Gibbons arrived from Baltimore, and in com pany with a largo number of church dignitaries, who were present at the centennial celebration in that city, took carriages and were driven to the build ing. Seuator Sherman arrived a little later, as did Generals Rosecrans and Vincent. It was almost noon when, the ceremonies were opened by the chant ing of a hymn to the Holy Ghost and the Creator Spiritus by 2o0 students. The formal procession around the structure wa abandoned on account of the rain, but the ceremony of blessing the building was performed by the Car dinal passing through the corridors, preceded by acolytes bearing lighted tapers. The Cardinal wore the mitre and cap, destinctive of hi3 office as Archbishop, and in his hand carried a golden pastoral cross. As tha proces sion passed along between two densely packed lines of spectators, tne semm- anans chanted the Misereri. Shortlv after 12 o'clock. Most Rev. Mgr. Sotolli, Archbishop of Lepanto and special representative of the Pope at the centennial and at the dedication ceremonies, beiran the celebration in the ch'apel of the Pontificial Mass of the Holy Ghost. Secretaries Tracy, Noble, and Win dom and Attorney General Miller ar rived in time to participate in the ban. quet, which took place after 1 o clock, Covers were laid for about 250 guests, and the dining table and banquet halls were handsomely decorated with flags and flowers. Cardinal Gibbons occu pied the seat at the head of the table. Bishop Keane acted as toaster. The "firsst toast "His Holiness, Pope Leo XIII," was responded to by Most Rev. Monsignor Sotolli, representative of the Pope, who spoke in Latin. As First Secretary Blame responded to the toast "Our Countrv and Her Pres I ident." Cardinal Tascherau, of Can- Sister universities 7 when the Marine Band struck up "Hail to the . Chief," and President Harrison entered the hall. The entire assemblage rose to their feet and applauded until the President took the seat reserved for him on the left of Cardinal Gibbons. As soon as the President was seated Bishop Keane proposed his health, which was drunk standing. Th Far m r National Congress. Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 13. The Farmers' National Congress assembled at 10 o'clock to-day in the hall of the House of Representatives. The Con gress was well attended by delegates from every State and Territory. Forty delegates are present from Maine. The addresses of welcome were deliv ered by Mayor Graham, for the city, T. J. Carlisle, for the State Agricul tural Society, and Commissioner Kolb on behalf of the State. Responses were made by A. B. Smith, of Kansas, B. F. Clayton, of Iowa and B. F. Spoffard, of Illinois. Commissioner Kolb, President of the Congress, delivered his annual address. It was an elaborate paper, covering the purposes and spirit of the organization. A committee of one from each delega tion was appointed on resolutions. The congress then adjourned to attend the Southern- exposition, now being" held here, and will meet again to-night at 8 o'clock. On Friday night, after ad journment, the entire body will go to New Orleans, Louisville and Nashville, the Railroad Company having tendered them a special train. ... , . : r .

Representa tive McKinley's arrival here yesterday caused quite a flutter among those pol- ticlans wno are interested in the speakership fight. It was said that Mr. Mciuniey proposed to open bis cam paign at once and attempt to redeem the reputation oi umo Kepuoucans by carrying off the speakership. He has determined, however, not to begin his formal contest until after his return from New lork early next week. Ho and his friends appear to be still confident of success in spite of the black eye given the Ohio Re publicans last week. The names of Can non. Burrows and Henderson are sel dom mentioned in connection with the speakership, and they can probably count upon but few votes outside their respective delegations. They are evi dently figuring on being placed at the head of prominent committees, - and they must realize that they have but a slim chanee Of occupying the speakers chair while Ueedand Mcivinley remain in the race. Notwithstanding Mc- Kinley's presence in Washington, the knowing ones still predict that Reed will certainly be Mr. Carlisle's suc cessor. Washington, .Nov. 13.

The report of the execu tive committee was read by President Henry E. Alvord, of the Maryland Ag- ricunurai oiiege. Among iub jects that will come up for discussion are the relations of the colleges and stations to agricultural exhibitions and farmers'" institutes, and needed amend ments of the Hatch act, under which the stations are organized. Secretary Rusk will give the convention a recep tion at his residence on Friday evening. :'---" A Sensational Court Scene In Montana. Chicago, Nov. 13. A dispatch to the Tinus from Butte, Montana, says: There was a sensational scene in the district court yesterday afternoon when McHatton, Democratic,and Ham- i 1 ton. ReDublican. rivals for the office of J udge, appeared at the court house, each dttsrmined to mount the bench. It had been anticipated that there would be serious trouble, but this, was averted by the temporary surrender of the Republican aspirant. Sheriff Lloyd, Republican, had a large number of deputies on hand, and the Democratic - t mi t i sheriu ioiiowea sun. x ne cii-y marsnai, acting under orders from the mayor, swore in twenty special policemen, who were stationed about the court room armed with Winchesters. Judge DeWolfe, after hearing argu ment of counsel for tne contestants declined to decide which had the right to the seat, and adiourned the court. No sooner had Judge De Wolf, vacated the bench than J. J. McHatton, Demo- cratie Judge elect, stepped up and took the seat, ordering bheriff elect bum van to reconvene the court. His or ders were obeyed to the letter, and Sheriff Idoyd and Hamilton, Republi can claimant ?or the Judgship, took tneir departure from the courtroom. Hamilton will go to the capital and apply to the Supreme Court for a writ nf mandamus arainst McHatton to compel him to show by what right he v assumed the position of Judsre. A large number of prisoners,convicted at the last term of the court, are to De arraigned for sentence, and Judge Mc- Hatton will undoubtedly order Sheriff elect Sullivan to bring the prisoners into court. As the keys to the jail aro in Sheriff LaoycTs bands there win probably be trouble. IleaTT italn Storm In Ylrrlnla. HarRISOXBUbg, Va., Nov. 13.

The Jadse R?fae toga iot the History f Clan X ictTbe $tte Ucadjr U Itct It C. Chicago, Nor. J3.At the renins of the Cronin trial this morales Judge McConnel announced bLi decUion oa the question of going into pat history of the Clan-na-Gacl. The last witness on the stand yesterday was ex-Policeman Brown. He was also an ex-mra-ber of Clan-na-Gael. He was aked whether or not he preferred chargf against Dr. Cronin in 1SS5, the State Attorney explaining that he proposed to show by the witness that tbu was a fact; that Dan Coughlin was a member of the trial committee, and that Dr. Cronin was expelled from the organiza tion. The logical consequence of the admission of this testimony was a com plete investigation of Cla-na-Gael, at least so far as it could bo made to show cause for animosity against Dr. Cronin on the part of any of the prisoners at the bar. This offer led to the most earnest and protracted argument between counsel for the State and counsel for the de fense that has yet taken place during the trial; nearly every lawyer engaged had something to say during its prog ress, and there was much plain speak ing. The talk occupied the time until adjournment, and Judge McConncll announced that he would hold matter under advisement and would render his decision this morning. In accordance wua mai arrangement, wnen coun was called to order this mDrning,Judgo McConnell announced his opinion to bo that the evidence sought to be elicited from officer Brown on the points named was incompetent and he ruled It out. This decision of the court rendered any further attempt to examine officer Brown futile, and ofiteer McKJnnon, of Winnipeg,, who was on the fctand yes terday, was recalled. He testified that Burke told him he had-an 'assumed name of J. W. Cooper because two men were watching him. After some un important witnesses were examined, boards cut from the floor of the Carlson cottage were offered and admitted in evidence in spite of objections of the defense. The sicrnal service officer from midnight of May 3rd to midnight i ui amy tin me stvy was ciuuuicss. At the opening of the trial this after noon, States Attorney Longenecker said that, in view of the court's ruling in the matter of evidence as to thejxit doings of Clan-na-Gael the State would only put one more witness on the stand, a man named Clancy,' of New York, who he said, was not now in the city. It was suggested, in view of this announcement that court adjourn until Monday in order to give the defense time to prepare its case, but it was finally decided to adjourn until Satur- dayTnxrnrng7whi ch warniocOrd lb g ly done.

New York, Nor. 13.- The following resolution has been adopted by the ex ecutive committee of the Western Union Telegraph Company: "Whereas, on the 29th day of June, 1889, the Postmaster General of the United States officially announced to the telegraph companies that under the provisions of the act of July 24th, 1866, they would be required to trans mit official messages of the United States for the compensation of one mill for fiaeh word without rejrard to dis- I tance, a price which could in no sen&e he said to comnfensate for the service: and Whereas, oh the 30th of October, 1889, the Postmaster General, by pub lic circular set forth, as established under the provisions of said act of July 21th. 1866, a schedule of rates for all telegraph companies controlled by the provisions of said act, which rates also are materially below the necessary cost to this Company and to others, of transmitting messages of -the United I States; and Whereas, as this company is obliged to consider the enforcement of said rates as confiscation of its property to that extent, and is adyised that the obvious injustice under said act is remedial at law; Besotted: That this company wid transmit, as heretofore, with due pri ority and diligence, all telegrams be tween the several departments of the Government and their officers and agents; but this company will not ac cent as final payment the rates above established until its rights in that re gard have received such further con sideration as it may be able to secure and the president of this company is hereby directed to file a copy of this our orotest with the heads of the sev eral Executive Departments of the United States.

At 10:V. o'clock this morning Joseph-M. Hill man was hanged in the corridor of the county jail here for tho murder of the Jewish pedler Seidennan. When the sheriff pulled the slugger holdinga 4S0 pound weigni on uio oiner end or tho rope, the body shot up into tho air a distance of fifteen feet. The noose failed to tighten, and the rope clipped around on the wretched man s neck. Ho groaned and shrieked and his cries could bo almost distinguished, as ho struggled with his arms, and finally succeeded in .sufficiently freeing hi hands to almost reach the rope. The hangman stood by and reaching up to the noose, linauy succeeded In getting it around so that the weight of the body rested on the throat, and lue was slow ly strangled out of the msn. The strug gle lasted fcr two or three minute, and until the hangman got the noono under his chin.
