AIV MEACHAM INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS !AGAINST BUNN. Meeting of Governor at Aheville Death Warrant for Steve Jacob Republican Leadera Watrhing the Sgra Convention Necro Convention lold Speeches Killing Mad Uotr. "Messenger Bureau, j Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 20. f . The colored Sute fair begins here October Jth.l There is only one com pany of colored troops in the State (from Charlotte) and it will then en camp here, probably at the fair grounds. This is the company which was at Wilmington last week. The good news of the crops gives general satisfaction. The igh stand ard of cotton and corn are particularly gratifying. The farmers are now pull ing fodder and will have an immense crop all they can handle, in fact. The building for the mechanical de partment at the Agricultural and Me chanical college is ready for occupancy. Some 5f the equipments are in place. c Rev. D. P. Meacham of thiscounty,is out as a Congressional candidate Dem ocratic. He is an Alliance man, and hopes to get Alliance votes, evidently, and to avail himself of any Alliance feeling against bunn. tome of this, but it is whether it will avail Meacham. mere was very doubtful anything for The Governor will remain at Ashe ville until the oth of September. On the 4th several Governors are expected to be there and speak at a banquet. A death warrant was to-day issued for Stove Jocobs, the Croatan outlaw, now in jail at Lumberton. The date fixed by the Governor for his execution is September;UGth, the' law requiring thirty days interval. It is feared that Jacobs7 friends may make another at tempt to got him out of jail. Eaves and Mott and other Republi can leaders jare hero To-day they looked askance at the delegates to the negro convention". They evidently do not like to see the negroes striking out for themselves. Col. John Tj. Morehead, of Charlotte, was here to-day, on his way to More head City, to attend a stockholders' meeting of the Atlantic and North Car olina railway to-morrow. Tnere is a strong movement for a union of that road and the North Carolina road. It is not yet decided by the Republi cans whether they will hold a judicial convention in this district or not. T. M. Argo is already out as a candidate for Solicitor; It was learned vesterdav that mad dogs are very numerous in the south ern part of this county, and that twen-tv-five have been killed during the past few days. Some animals have been bitten by these rabid dogs. The people are mightily slirred up in re gard to the matter and are slaying the dogs right and left. There are many thousands ofidogs in Wake and if nine- tenthj of them are killed so much the better. j The Republican County Convention vesterdav had a pretty lively time. It chose delegates to the State and Con irressional Conventions. The feature of the convention was a speech by Jas. H. Harris, who is an employe of the postoffice department at Washington. Harris in this speech praised and en dorsed the Force bill. He said he had ured Senators to vote for it. Ho was applauded by the convention, and then went on to sav that civil service rules could not hold him. He was speaking rules or no rules, and would bo here and sneak again in October. The Molt-Russell faction got only three of the delegates. It hoped to capture all of them, and Loge Harris was of course disappointed. The negro otate convention met soon after noon to day at Metropolitan hall. Its members represented the ability of the negro in North Carolina, beyoma any question. There were many white spectators and this was the opinion of them all. It was a negro convention and it jumped on the white Republican bosses iust as soon as it met. James R. Young called it to order and spoke in hierh terms of its oersonnel. He said it was composed of the leading negroes of the State and was here for business and not for child's plav. It was no here to disrupt the Republican party, tut was here as the Republican party of North Carolina. Its uurpose was to make it known to all, from Presideut Harrison to the lowest underling, that these people are assembled here to de mand their rights and privileges. The white Republicans had charged that the negroes i were going over to the Democrats. The negroes will' 'never get anything until they come together and. demand it. The colored race, he said, "shall be recognized" in the dis tribution of patronage. This body is not here to draw the color line; the white Republicans have done that already. (Cries "down with the bosses.') He proposed to give the bosses a lively time in carrying the State. He spoke of what the Demo crats had done and attacted their jury system, election law and distribution of school funds. John S. Dancy read the call for the convention and the circular in regard to it. It says the negroes have voted wildly for twenty-five years. Hon. E. E. Smith was made temporal arv chairman and made a good speech. He said this convention was the be ginning of a great movement. The negroes have grievances which must be redressed. Charles H. Moore, editor . of the Greensboro Progress was made secre tary. Speeches were made by E.E. Smith, Rev. J. C. Price, James H. Harris, John C. Dancy, Rev. P. O. Con nell and John S, Leary, John H.

(Special one or our oldest ! lock this morninir aroe from his bed, leaving his wife asleep, and In his night garnwnts left the house. -When his wife awoke quite early she found his clothes werciii his room and after searching the premises and not finding him, she became alarmed and gave notice to her neigh bors. The community was soon ap prised of his strange disapnearancti and search was made in every direction for some trace of him. As the dav wore away and no trace could be found th belief became general that he had urownea liimseil. II he is drowned it will be some time before the bodv is ound, the river being much swollen and the current ranid. Mr. Bond's mind for some time has not been in its normal health. He was industrious, generous, a good husband and a re spected citizen. He resided in Wil mington about three years directlv after the war. - A Chicago Theatre Burned. Chicago, Aug. 26. Fire was dis covered in McVickers theatre. Madi son street, at 3:30 o'clock this morning. As lar as can be learned, it originated in a small smoking room under and to the west oi the stare. The drv aDd inflamable material of the room fur nished material for the blaze, and in a moment a fierce llame burst out through a side window in an alley. As soon as the firemen arrived on the scene they directed a stream of water through the window from which the names were coming, bmoke filled the entire build- mg and it is feared badly damaged the valuable scenery of the Shenandoah Company now performing in the build ing. The fire made unexpected head way in the interior of the building, and in thirty minutes after the discovery made its way from the basement to the roof. The flames apparently envel oped the whole building and at a few minutes belore 4 o'clock were leaping from all the windows' on the west and east side of the theatre. When seen what a rapid headway the flames were making additional help was summoned and every effort directed to saving the Iront portion or the building where a number of offices are located. The flames burst from the rear of the build ing with such fury that they were ex tended across the alley and threatened the destruction of the Windsor house. Many of the guests oi the notel were awakeued and a panic resulted. The people hastily grabbed their clothing and made their way to the street. There was no occasion for fright, how ever, as the firemen guarded the hotel so well that the flames had no chance of communicating with, the building. A panic also seizied the guests of the Saratoga hotel and the Bennett house, but the flames did not reach either of these places. Seven men belonging to Fire Insur ance Patrol No. 1 were in the audito rium at work when the roof fell in shortly after 4 o'clock. They all escaped by miracle. Not so fortunate were the men who were fighting the fire in rear of the building. When the rear wall fell all the men of No. 7, were buried in the ruins and all more or less hurt. Fireman Jack Duffy had his skull frac tured and will probably die. The total loss to the theatre building and occu pants is estimated at over $200,000 Horace McVicker, proprietor, says his own loss will reacJi over $100,000. Several stores on State street caught fire but the flames soon extinguished and the damage will be nominal. - Old North State Chips. Barnum's circus is heading towards North Carolina. Geo. C.

Smith, the 11 year old son of State Superin tendent of Public Instruction F. M. Smith, and a lady named Hutchins died yesterday from doses of morphine. Three other children of Smith who had taken overdoses were made very sick by the same drug. which was administered for colds by mistake for quinine The mistake was made by a druggist in filling a bottle. A Wreck on the Baltimore and Ohio. ' Baltimore, Aug. 6. The Chicago express on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad ran into an open switch near Point of Rocks about 5 o'clock this evening. The engine and postal car were wrecked and engineer David Ziler was killed. The fireman was in jured. No passengers were hurt. By 7 o'clock the road was clear and trains running regularly. congress; A DAY OF MANY BATTLES AND MUCH CONFUSION IN THE HOUSE. Repeated efforts to Get a Oaornm Rlfr the Ire of Mr Cannon Democratic Mem ber Obey the Call anj Then Le the llall-The Speaker's ttlarkUftt-A Reci procity Rill. Washington, Au'. 2n. -Senate-.-) A substitute for the IIoum. Bankruptcy bill wasreporu-d by Senator Hoar from the Judiciary committee and placed on the calendar. The memorandum offered yesterday by Senator Aldrieh fixing. the time for the consideration of and votiug on the Tariff bill was presented and the pre siding Oi'iieer stated that unanimous consent was asked for having it entered as an order of the Senate. Objection was made bv Senator Mor gan and other Democratic Senators to having the memorandum take the shape of an order of the Senate, and after an interchange of opinion on that point Senator Aldrieh withdrew that form and confined his motion to a re quest for unanimous consent to the memorandum. Senator Plumb suggested that there was something behind the matter that waa not perfectly apparent to the pub lic. The solemn interchange of sugges tions yesterday between the Senator from Rhode Island and the Senator from Missouri reminded him somewhat of the historic remark between the Governor of North Carolina and the Governor of South Carolina. (Laugh ter.) It recalled also the remark that two Roman augurs could not look in each others face without smiling. An agreement had been made by which the Democratic Senators were to forego their opposition, or at all events their debating opposition, to the Tariff bill. and, of course, he presumed that tnat was in order that something else might be had which was desirable to them. He would interpose no objection to the memorandum. The memorapdum was then agreed to by unanimous consent. The conference report on the Suridr3' Civil Appropriation bill was presented and read. After a long debate the. conference report was agreed to. The Tariff bill was then taken up,the question being on the lead paragraph, to which Senator Coke had offered an amendment to make lead extracted from silver ores free of dnty, and Sena tor Plumb had offered one I reducing the duty on le.u ore and lead dross from H to J of a cent. .before proceeding with that para graph Senator Plumb gave notice of an amendment to the bill, which he would offer at the appropriate time. The amendment was read. It 'is, with some few modifications, the bill for reciprocity with Canada, introduced by Senator Butterworth in December last. Both the amendments were rejected. The duty on nickel and nickel oxide was reduced Irom lo to cents per pound land the mica paragraph was passed over. schedule h., relating to sugar, was reached and informally passed over. The Senate then adjourned. house of representatives. Before reading the journal Mr. Mc Clammy of North Carolina, made the point of order of no quorum present and a call of the House was ordered, and but 126 members responded to their names. Mr. Pavson offered a resolution for the arrest of absentees. Pending which Mr. Enloe moved an adjournment Lostr. The speaker stated tnat tnere were 169 members present more than a quordra. Further proceedings ULder the call were dispensed with and the journal approved. . Mr. Brosius of Pennsylvania, de manded the regular otder, and con tended that the unfinished business was the Conger Lard bill, the vote upon the passage of which Saturday was inconclusive owing to the absence of a quorum. Mr. Baker of New York, who was interested in a Senate bill on the Speaker's table argued that business on the Speaker's table must first be disposed of. After a lengthy discussion on this point the Speaker said: The Chair thinks that the question now before the House is the roll call on the pas sage of the bill. Mr. Mason, of Illinois, appealed from the decision. On sustaining the deci sion the vote stood yeas, 123; nays 23 no quorum, and a call of the House waa ordered. One hundred and eighty two members having responded to their names, Mr. Brosius moved to dispense with further proceed ings'under the call, upon which motion the "opponeots of the Lard bill, in order to consume time, ordered the yeas and nays. The vote recurred on sustaining the decision of the Speaker, but the quorum had melted away. An other call of the House brought another quorum, which in like manner disap peared when the voting was resumed on sustaining the decision of the chair. Mr. Morgan, of Mississippi, moved an adjournment, with a view to reach ing some arrangements whereby the existing condition of affairs might be terminated lost. Mr. Cannon then offered a resolution reciting that twice to-day legislative proceedings have been interrupted by want of a quorum; that certain mem bers, enumerating them, answered to their names under the calls, but did not respond on regular roll calls, many of them leaving the hall so that they could not be counted; and that there was a large number of members absent without leave; and directing the Ser geant-at-Arms to immediately notify by telegraph all members absent, ex cept those absent on account of Illness, Continued on fifth page. the uvii.i:ou vtuikes.

When . aked on what Hue a continuation of the strike would be ought he answered that, s far a he knew, on the same plan which has been followed since its inauguration. I At? admitted that there were still over 1,000 ' Knights in the Central' employ, but In what branches, of work he refused to tay. NHV would give no opinion as to when or whetherat all these Knights would be ordered out.

CHICAGO, Aug. 21. The anderbilt connections here have teen notified to resume shipment of perishable freight. NKW OHK, Aug. 2i ice Presi dent Webb was at his dek in the Grand Central depot early this morniug hard at work on matters that he had not had time to attend to since the incep tion of the strike. Ho said that every thing along the entire line of road was in good condition and that freight was moving -briskly, in fact,' yesterday as much freight was moved as during the day preceding the strike, forty cars alone being exchanged with 'the Bos ton and Albany road, and Superintend ent Voorhees stated that the Knights of Labor, in case they forced a strike. could not do the Central road any harm, though with connecting. lines j they might cause inconvenience. . . Another Switchmen's Strike. Chicago, Aug. 26. The switch men on the Chicago and Alton road struck this morning. A detachment -of police have been sent to the yards of the company. Chicago, Aug. 26. The strike of the switchmen of the Stock Yard Switch ing Association, after the grievances of the engineers and firemen had been adjusted yesterday afternoon, put a new phrase on the situation, and this morn ing it was decided to dissolve the asso ciation and allow each road to do Its own switching. Superintendent Boyco of the Rock Island and Superintendent Besseler of the Burlington, together with several other members of the old directory of the Switching Association went to the stock yards to personally assume direction of the fight. The striking switchmen were told that their services were no longer required and new men were procured lo do the switching. During the early hours of the morning little was done in the way of clearing the tracks of freight cars, but it was announced that work would commence in earnest shortly bo fore noon. Superintendent Marsh went down to the stock yards this morning at the head of 300 men to take charge of the police arrangements there aud see that no violence wa committed. The stock yard switchmen have given up the fight. The dissolution of the switching association left them noth ing to strike against. Five different roads had seven engines at work in the yards this afternooh, and the yard were cleared by the night force. The cause of the Alton switchmen's strike is that the company wished to place one o its formen employees in charge of the yard at Brighton, where as the men wanted a man of their fco lection. The company refused to grant this and the strike is the result. There is no dissatisfaction among the men regarding salaries or treatment. About forty-five men are out altogether. Everything is quiet. Passenger trains are moving allright, but freights are tied up. The llrlck Tle-np Complete. Nkw Yokk, Aug. 26. The brick tie-up to-day is as perfect as it, can a yet be. Ninety-three per cent of the producers have ? signed the manufac turers' agreement and the remainder are expected to come In to-day or to morrow. There U a probability that about 1.000,000 brick now under con tract will be received to-day, and these will be the last thipment until the boy cott of the Knights of Labor against the Verplank yards is raised. The manufacturers are determined and well organized and have established a fund for the payment of penalties which In dividual manufacturers may incur by not filling contracts. The effects of the tie-up will be felt about Friday and if the boycott1 Is persisted in by the Knights of Labor, nearly 100,000 men will be thrown out of employment. The range manufacturers are already feeling the effects of the lie-up, which will extend to all trades depending even incidentally upon bricks to con tinue their work. The Oklahoma Lecilatare. GUTHRIE, Oklahoma, Aug. 28. The members of the legislature hate almost all arrived for the openingof the ses sion.
