There was heavy frost in this sec
tion of the State yesterday morning,
but it is not known" what Is the extent
of the damage, done. Leaves on oak
trees In exposed places in the woods
were touched by the frost, Thia was
observed yesterday afternoon.
There will be made this week consid
erable improvements of the sidewalk
at the postoffice. Part of It will be
parked and in thistrees will bo planted.
Mention was made Saturday that the
receipt from the swamp lands had
been some $12,000 this year. Nine thou
sand acres, in what is known as Sim
mons' bay in Columbus county, brought
eiehty-five cents an acre, ' while the
4,030 acres in Du rant's island brought
$1 an acre.
Your correspondent had an interest
ing interview Saturday evening with
Maj. Finger, regarding the public
schools, institutes, etc. The State this
year is allowed $6,800 of the Peabody
fund. Of this $2,800 is for fourteen
scholarships at Nashville. All these
are filled, and besides there are four
students who are paying their own ex
penses, nr akin g eighteen students from
this State now there. Next year the
four who are now paying their own ex
penses will be aided from the fund. '
Four thousand dollars of the fund is
allowed for schools etc., in the State.
This is an increase of about fcl,000 over
the amount allowed when Maj. Finger
took charge. It is evident that I)r.
Curry is pleased with Maj. Finger's
managemeut of tho public schools and
also with the excellent and popular
county Institutes. Last year $1,000 of
the fund was given to the institutes.
Professors Mclver and : Alderman con
duct the institutes in sixty ; counties,
and there are provided special con
ductors for the other thirty-six coun
ties. These are paid out of the Pea
body fund.. Men are chosen for this
work who are heart and soul in favor
of the public schools.
The idea of Dr. Curry is to help
those who help themselves, and so
when a community begins to levy a
special tax for the support of its
schools, it is aided until the schools
get a start. This year Asheville and
Reldsville get $760 each. Possibly
Wilson, Shelby and Washington will
get aid in the same way, if they vote
the special tax.
. The railway investigation committee
this morning resumed its session. Mr.
P. B. Ruffia, secretary and treasurer
of the.North Carolina Railway, was the
first witness. The committee is doing"
its work well, and gets the backing of
the public in its inquiries. '
Before the mayor this morning steps
were taken to expel from the city a
very debauched white woman and her
daughter, who have for some time been
a disgrace to the eastern suburbs. There
were many witnesses, nearly all small
boys. ' " ,
Though vegetation in this section was
far advanced in February,the cold snaps
of March set it back and killed a great
deal. Now the season is about normal
in the condition of vegetation. The
frosts equalized matters.
The State Librarian continues his
work of getting the. place in order and
Sreparing for the catalogue. . The
uplicate books have been removed.
Many have been sent to the paper mill.
The beautiful laurel is coming in
bloom on the banks .of picturesque
Crabtree creek, .three miles north of

More machinery for the cotton
factory has arrived and workmen are
very busy there as well as at. the new
Ice factory.
The Supreme Court to-day began the
call of the Twelfth District.
Next Monday the call of appeals set
at the end of the docket will begin,

The volume will soon be out of press.
Eighteen more convicts have been

Hanging Made from Cotton Stalk.
Augusta. April 21. Wm. E. Jack
son, a well known lawyer of this city
has solved the jute bagglog problem
that has afritated the cotton circles for
so long. Jackson has perfected
mechanical appliances making bafffrincr
from cotton stalks and ne nas just re-
tnmAd from York with a roll of
V f -w--
bagging. Expert cotton men say that
baggiig. He will utilize the bare
stalks from J the fields and can
afford to pay about two dollars
a ton laid down. . An average stalk
vtcM will bale three vears' cotton
crop. The machinery comprises heav
ily weighted corrugated rollers witn
valves of running water, cording ma
chine and bagging looms.
It is estimated that In makinsr bag
ging from cotton stalks $2,000,000 an
nually will go into tne pockois 01 me
farmers for what is now cleared from
fields at an expense. August will be
headquarters for the company's mill
and offices, which will extend from
Virginia to Texas.
Jackson had a roll of bagging, which
is exhibited, woven on the iute bag
ging looms of J, C. Todd, at Paterson,
N. J., and that experts here pronounce
it equal to its jute rival. Cotton in
stalk bagging is less infiamable and is
but a shade darker than. iute. The
cotton circles here are jubilant.

Washington, April 21. The Secre
tary of State this morning: tele
graphed Captain Bourke in charge of
the special train that was carrying the
Pan-Americans on their Southern
tour to return to Washington from
Richmond. This was done because so
few of the delegates desired to make
the excursion. Thirteen of the foreign
delegates accepted the invitation, but
only two 01 them Martlnez-Silra, ef
Columbia, and Mr. Zesrra, of Peru,
left Washington with the party. Oth
ers sent letters of regret giving various
reasons for withdrawing their accep
tance. Some of them were detained by
important business; some were
called to New York by telegraph;
others bad decided to sail at once for
their homes, and the rest were, ill or
too tired to make the journey. . Sever
al promised to join tne excursion at
Richmond to-day, but were unable to
do so, and the Secretary of State de
cided that the number of those going
would not justify the expenses of the
journey, which would cost as much as
if the entire conference had gone. The
whole outlay would probably have
been $10,000. , !
The Secretary said to-night that he,
sincerely regretted that the commer-,;
cial organizations and citizens of the
South who had made preparations I
to entertain the delegates - had.
to be disappointed, but felt that they
would appreciate the circumstances
which compelled the abandonment of
the excursion. " The foreign delegates
have now been in this country fcr;
seven months and some of them even
longer, and are anxious to return to
their homes as soon as possible. They ;
are grateful for the hospitality extend
ed them and very much regret that
they cannot accept it.
The Train Men Troubles.
Pittsburg, April 21. Grand Master
Gllkinson, of the Brotherhood of Train
men arrived here this morning and
has been in consultation with a mass
meeting of men in the Knierhts of
Labor hall for several hours. The nien
have grown bolder in the presende of
their leaders and say they can stop all,
trains from New York to Chicago un-i
less the sixteen points presented in
their grievances are conceded them..!
The railroads have conceded all but.
five of these points, but the most im-j
portant, which is wages, remains to be;
settled. The wages on the Pan"Handle
road have been raised equal to those
on the Pennsylvania, but the men on
the latter lines haye not secured theirl
advance. The men on the Allegheny
employment find that their chief griey-;
ance, the deducting of eight cents for
time taken at meals, is still ignored
Although all lines entering the city
are now running smoothly, the men
are becoming more defiant over the
strenuous efforts of the railroad detec
tive, John T. Norris, and of the local!
detectives, to center non-union men J
uere in oruer tuaaucipaie.a siriKe.
Telegrams from the outside, how
ever, say that many men are not afratdr
01 Pittsburg in the event of a big strike.
Gllkinson is still talking to the men in
secret conference, though it is said that!
the ruling sentiment is arbitration and
concession, as thd railroads seem to be
willing to give way to a certain extent.
Goldsboro JottingR.
V At the recent meeting of the city
aldermen a resolution was introduced,
and adopted, autnorizm the purchase
by the city of four drinking fountains.
Besides being useful they will be orna
mental. The Bowser Comedy Company appear
at the Messenger Opera House to
night. The brass band will parade the
city at 2:30 in the afternoon, and a most
excellent programme is promised for
the night. Prices have been fixed at
25, 60 and 75 cents, and it is to be hoped .
that the merits of the company will be
appreciated by a full house.
The question of the establishment of
a cottor factory here is again being
agitated; and active steps, are beinjgf
taken to secure a substantial subscrip
tion for this purpose. What success
can be had cannot now be predicted by
anyone, but it is safe to assert that the
advantages to be derived by the com
munity will be fairly demonstrated in a
business manner.
Willie j Rogers, odo of the Rogers
family to whom we have before alluded,
died yesterday. Mrs. Rogers is con
valescent. Tho municipal campaign waxes very
warm, and tome heated discussions
have taken place. It is likely that
times will be quite lively at the ward
meetings, which are to be held on
Monday next.
Burned to Iteatk.
Mount Oltve, N. C, April 21.
Special, Mr. Solomon Rouse, an
aged widower who lived all alone
about two miles from this place, was
completely cremated in his residence
last Saturday night. The house and
its entire contents . were destroyed.
What remained of the unfortunate man
was only a few bones, not , enough to
fill a half gallon measure. The house
was burned about 1 o'clock a. m. The
blaze was seen from this place by some
persons who were up pretty late, but
no one, not even the nearest neighbor
knew of the dread calamity until the
ax. m
next morningv xne real cause 01 tne
fire is not known and probably will
never be known, but it is thought that
as the old gentleman sometimes drank
too much he possibly was under the
influence of alcohol and fell in the fire
or that the house caught in some way
and he being unable to help himself
lost his life.
The coroner. Dr. Thomas Hill, was
promptly notified of the calamity and
came down Sunday afternoon and in
vestigated the matter, but as there was
no suspicion of foul play he did not
deem it necessary to summon a jury.

J Washington ,April 21.-HSenatk. h
Senator Plumb introduced concurrent
resolutions directing the Secretary of
Treasury to increase treasury purchase
and the coinage of silver bullion to the
maximum amount authorized!by an act
of February 2Sth,lS78. and gave notice
that he would ask for its consideration
to-morrowvOnr motion of Senator
Hawley, the Senate proceeded to con
sider tne House bill to proTide for cel
ebrating the four hundredth anniver
sary of the discovery of America by
Christopher Columbus, br holding an
international exhibition of arte, indus-
iries, manuiactures and the product of
the soil, tnlne and sea, in the city of
Chlcego in the State of - Illinois. The
only amendment reported by the Sen
ate committee is the insertion of a new
section providing for a naval review in
New York harbor in April, J803 and
for th unveiling of a statue of Christo
pher Columbus at Washington.
Senator Hale inquired of Senator
Hawley whether it was intended that
the Government should furnish a statue
of Columbus. Senator Hawley replied
in, the affirmative and stated that the
bill for that purpose had already passed
the Senate and was now pending in the
House. ; I -
Senator Vest said that it seemed to
be assumed that because the House had
passed the bill the Senate was under
the same coercion to pass it. He pro
tested against such an assumption.
Senator Hoar moved to amend by
striking out the provision as to the Co
lumbus statue. This proposition, after
another long debate, was agreed to, and
the remainder of the Senate committee
amendment (for the naval review), was
agreed to.
-The section as adopted reads:
Sec. 18. That the President is here
by empowered and directed to hold a
naval review in New York Harbor in
April, 1893, and to extend to foreign
nations an invitation to send ships of
war to join the United States Navy in
a rendezvous at Hampton, Roads and
proceed thence to said review.
The bill, which had been under con
sideration as in committee of the
whole, was then reported to the Sen
ate, and the vote was again taken by
the yeas and nays on the amendment
for naval review. The vote resulted:
yeas 27; nays 25; . so the provision re
mains in the bill. The bill was passed.
The Senate then adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Mr. Struble, of Iowa, submitted the
conference report on the bill to. pro
vide a temporary government for the
Territory of Oklahoma. The bill as
agreed upon, changes the boundaries
of the proposed Territory of Oklahoma
so as to exclude from the Territorial
limits what is known as Cherokee out
let. It i3 provided, however, that as
soon as the Indian claim to this outlet
is extinguished it shall become a Dart
of the Territory of Oklahoma without
further legislation and that the lands
therein shall be opened to settlement
as other lands in said Territory. It is
also provided that jurisdiction to en
force the laws of the United States in
Cherokee outlet shall be conferred
upon the Supreme and District courts
of the Territory of Oklahoma. The
reading of the report occupied an hour
and a half.
After a brief discussion, and but lit
tle opposition, the report was adopted.
A bill appropriating $333,50u to pro
vide necessary values and safeguards
for the security of the public money In
the custody of the United States Treas
urer was passed.
The Speaker then called the commit
tees in order for motions to suspend the
rules and pass measures on the calen
dar.
Mr. Morrill, of Kansas, from the
committee on invalid pensions called
up the bill to pension prisoners of war.
' Mr. Tarsney, of Missouri, opposed
the bill. He had entered the army at
tne age of 17 years; had been stricken
down wounded at Gettysburg and had
lain for months in the Confederate
prisons at Belle Isle and Anderson ville,
but he, nevertheless, declared that this
a. ;n
urn. was u most vicious proposition.
Mr. Cummings, of New York, said
that if a bill could be drawn which
would give to the deserving prisoners
01 war alone a special pension, he would
lavor 11, out this bill took In the ling
erer as well as the soldier.
Mr. Hopkins, of Illinois, defended
the bill. It was not so sweeping as had
been represented. It limited the bene
ficiaries to those ho suffered from dis
ability resulting from confinement. It
was the duty of the government to care
for such men.
Messrs. Boothman,of Ohio,Cutcheon,
of Michigan, Kenneday, of Ohio, and
Morse of Massachusetts, advocated the
passage of the Jbill. The latter main
taining that the men imprisoned at
Andersonville and such hells on earth
suffered more than those in ranks.
A motion to suspend the rules and
pass the bill was then put and de
featedyeas 143; nays 78; not the nec
essary two-thirds.
Mr. McKinley presented the con
ference report on the bill to regulate
the sittings of the United States Courts
In districts of South Carolina.
The House receded from Its dis
agreements to the Senate amendment.
The report was adopted and the House,
at 5:10 o'clock, adjourned.

Richmond, Va., April 21. After a
day rpeot In the employment of free,
open-hearted hospitality of the people
of Richmond, the Pan-American ex
crmionUt found on their return to the
train thU evening instruction! awaiting
moe in cnarge 10 aninaoa mo excur-
ion and return to Washlcgton.
When tho train left the .National
Capital Saturday night it was pretty
hard to find a delegate to tlto late
Conference on board and two only
journeyed as far as Richmond. . It was
expected.' however, that a reinforce
ment of six , delegate would join the
party here, but advices received from
Washington announcing the abandon
ment of the Southern tour, stated that
these delegates had decided not to
make the trip and that ft was deemed
best to discontinue the journey.
witn two delegates were ten or
fifteen attach ecs, and instructions were
received by Capt. Bourke. who Is in
charge of the party, authorizing him
to secure a Pullman car to be attached
to the regular train to carry such
members of the excursion aa desired
to proceed South. Those not desiring
to accept this offer were to be tender
ed aa, escort back to Washington.
The foreign delegates and foreign Sec
retaries upon leaning tho situation
eft the train and had their baggage
removed. All of them will remain
here to-night. T( morrow some of
them will continue Southward with
Hew Orlears as the obiective point
and others will return to Washington.
The reception given the visitors by
the citizens of Richmond, gave them a
substantial evidence of the generous
hospitality they might have, expected
throughout their journey if it had not
been cut short in its very beginning.
In the words of one of the delegates
who summarized the days experience on
his return to the train it was "a splen
did day, a beautiful city, and a mag
nificent hospitality."
On leaving the train this morning
the party was driven to various places
of interest in the old part of tho town.
The tito of Libby prison and the house
of Mary Elizabeth Van Lew, who du
ring the war performed efficient service
to the Union cause as a spy for Generals
Grant and Butler, were first visited
Two American flags were flying from the
windows of the Van Lew homestead.
From the heights along the James
river a panoramic view of the city was
secured and soon afterwards tho party
stood in the little old church in which
Patrick Henry thundered to the House
of Burgesses his cry for "Liberty or
Deeth. The house of Jefferson Davis,
now used as a school, was passed and
in the studio of Edward S. Valentine a
partly finished statue of Stonewall
Jackson was shown. The visitors then
J ound much to interest them in one of
Richmond s chief industries cargarette
and tobacco .manufacturing. A large
numbers of negroes tinging religious
hymns as they worked kept the party
listening for sometime. In the old
State house used by tho Confederate
Congress during the war. Governor
McKinney and Mayor Ellyson welcomed
them, and subsequently joined them at
a lunch at Westmoreland Club, given
by the leading citizens of Richmond.
The drive through the residence part
of the town lasted until dust and it was
7 o'clock when the party reached the
train, and learned of the abandonment
of the tour.
n a
Dana, tho Marie Town.
Comparatively few people know that
Dunn is the largest town in the State
of its age, or where it is. It is nicely
situated in Harnett county, on tho
branch of the Wilmington and Weldon
Railroad known as the Wilson "short
cut," fifty miles from Wilson aod twen-
tv-four from Favettevllle. and has a
Dooulatlon of about one thousand.
Three years ago last October the
railroad was built through this section
and at that time there was scarcely
any improvements in all this region of
country, and not a building where
Dunn now stands, except one out about
a nuarter of a mile from where the de-
rot niw is: but at this time there are
about 300 buildings of different kinds.
among which are about thirty-five bus-
iness nouses, lour cnurcnes, compieieu
and in course of construction, one car
riage and general repair shop, two ho
tels, two steam saw and planing mills
and other things necessary to make
Dunn a convenient and pleasant place
ta lire in. The railroad runs through
the centre of the town, the streets are
lerek the buildincrs all new and alto
gether the Dlace d resents a neat and
rer inviting appearance. Broad
strftftt. which is the DrinclDal one of
the town. Is wide and near a mile in
length. There are many residences
that would ornament much larger
towns. The famous Cape Fear river Is
only a short distance away, affording
fine fishing, and along the banks of
which are some very fine farming
lands.
Among Dunn necessary enterprises
Is the Courier a newspaper edited by
Mr. P. M. Connor. No - progressive
town can ignore the benefits of a good
newspaper as an advertising medium.
Dunn draws Its trade from a large
territory of good surrounding country,
and the shipments of freights to this
point Is largely on the Increase.
Altogether it seem that Dunn has a
brignt future and might properly be
termed the magic town of Eastern
Carolira.
