We had the pleasure of a a visit
from our old friend ltev. Richard H
Jones, of the Episcopal Church, and
assistant rector of one of Norfolk' s
leading churches. lie is a North Car
olinian and one of the best of men.
, We h;ve heard some pleasant things
said of the MkssT.nc.KK from sources
beyond the State in Virginia and New
York State, but we will not repeat the
kind and appreciative expressions. It
gratifies us to learn of them.
We clean forgot, we believe, to an
nounce days ago .thai the able and true
Roger (v. Mills, of Texas, was renomi
nated for the i:. s. House with entire
unanimity. His honest and plain ob
jection to the Sub-Treasury bill did
not. lose him the support of Alliance
Democrats.
Things don't seem to prosper in
steady Vermont, and it is no wonder
that the people there are trying hard
to throw o IT the Radical yoke. The
census shows a decrease in the State's
population of 810. Too much Radical
ism there. . '
Referring to the Radical Cannon
who fired' oil' his vulgarity in tho House,
the Richmond jfmessays
"The American hog may be pro
hibited in Trance; but he still flour
ishes on the lloor of the House of Rep
resentativer of the United States Con
gress. ,
Representative Ewart is reported by
i Washington correspondent as saying
that "the Republic's of the entire
State Of North Carolina are opposed to
the Foreo bill." How can he say that?
It is not true. Has ho not heard how
the late Republican State .Convention
indorsed the infamous bill and one of
its nominees for Judge, one Lusk,
wanted thd army and navy to come
down and enforce it?
Mrs. Helen Carlstrom, widow of Rev.
Charles Carlstrom, the Methodist mis
sionary who went out from Fifth Street
Church in' this" city, as already an
nounced, has returned with her two
little children. Thanks to the benevo
lence of friends in different denomina
tions inNorth Carolina,she was enabled
to return to her native place. She needs
help now to begin life again, and those
kindly disposed and able would do a
generous act to send to her, or to her
pastor Rev. R. C. Beaman, contribu
tions in money or food or clothing.

The! weather crop bulletin for this
week issued today snv: The weather
has been very favorable for farm oper-
tions nearly everywhere. The early
part of ihe week was closed with oc-
canional showers, the precipitation
below ! the average, except in the
northeastern partj of the State, where
it wa in excess. The latter, part of
tne week has been quite warm with
plenty of sunshine. Cotton is generally
opening well and picking is progress
ing rapidly, lhe tobacco crop seems
to be ' a very eood one: the weather
was very favorable for making good
cures and the farmers have been un
usually successful. Laud is being pre
pared for winter oats and wheat and
some have already commenced to sow.
A few reports indicate some damage
to cotton from rust and sheddfngt
North Carolina is making a good
showing as to crops this year and the
only trouble appears to be as to cotton
on sandy land. The rust has atTected
it more or less injuriously.
Yesterday Col. L. L. Polk and Chair
man E. C. Smith left here for Wash
ington City.
The cotton receipts were again
heavy today. Nearly all came in on
wagons, and all the sellers reported
picking as going" on rapidly.
An earnest effort is being made to
have the word "indigent" stricken
out of the act granting widows pen
sions. There are thirty-eight freshmen and
thirty sopromotes at the Agricultural
and Mechanical College. Professor VV.
A. Withers tells me the chemical de
partment has been well equipped.
There are five rooms and the laboratory
facilities are ample for all the students
this year. Professor Emry will be the
assistant in this department.
Mr. Ernest Bain, who has beenvery
sick with peritonitis, at Gombroon,
is now out of danger; This news wa"s
received this morning by his father,
State Treasurer Bain.
Some time ago Bula lodge of Masons,
at Burlington, lost all its property by
tire. It has reorganized and was yes
terday issued a duplicate charter,
without charge, so it will at once re
sume its work.
About the 27th of this month the
Odd Fellows of this city will give an
entertainment on a handsome scale, in
honor of that distinguished gentleman,
Charles M. Busbee, Deputy Grand
Sire. Fifty prominent gentlemen, not
members of the order, will be present
at the alTair.
Yesterdav afternoon a curlew was
killed on the Upchurch farm just south
of here. It is a bird of great rarity in
this section, and attracted much atten
tion when shown on the street to-day.
The board of aldermen last evening
took final action regarding the pro
longed dispute about the electric lights.
The expert reported that the lights
were j 775 1,200 of the guaranteed
power. The aldermen ordered that
payment be made on a basis of the
actualcandle-power.
Mr. j William Upchurch has been
made assistant secretary of the State
fair and tells me he is working hard
to secure a good display by Raleigh's
business men.
The improvement of the township
roads continues. On one of the roads
a substantial bridge across Walnut
creek has just been completed by the
county convict force.
President Julian S. Carr calls a State
convention of the Young Men's Demo
cratic Clubs here on the 24th. The
Raleigh club, with over 100 members,
propose to give the visitors a pleasant
time. .
The ; tobacco market is enjoying a
boom, and with three warehouses in
operation there is much animatiou.
There aro two plug factories in opera
tion, j
Yesterday at Auburn the arm of Mr.
P. H. Gower was crushed in a cotton
gin. It is the second accident of the
sort this week. By the first young
Love lo.-t an arm.
Congressman Bunn gives notice that
on the 26th instant there will be held
here a competitive examination for a
West Point cadetship.
Naval Cadet Worth Bagley, who is
now here visiting his family, is a man
ly youth and his high standing is a
credit to his State. His leave of ab
sence is until the 2StL.
The city has ordered the purchase1 of
three new horses for the rire depart
ment. The two hose wagons will then
carry 1800 feet of hose and each will be
drawn f by two horses. The colored
firemen get the two-horse reel. To
each of the four fire districts apparatus
will be assigned, so that, save upon a
general alarm, the- entire department
will not go out to fires.
There are a number of prominent
men who warmly support the move
ment for industrial training for wo
men. This is certain to come promi
nently 'before the public during .the
session of the Legislature.
The excursionists who on Wednes
day left for Asheville returned at mid
night last night, well pleased with
their trip. They report Asheville as
being very lively.
The colored firemen are preparing
for their visit to Greensboro, to the
firemen's tournament. There are bets
that the Victor of Raleigh will win the
prize. The new racing reel is found
to be aii admirable one.
There is en-eat satisfaction at the
fine openings of the schools here. The
attendance la in all cases larger than
that of last year. Raleigh is, of a
verity, the educational centre of North
Carolina.

Ceneuft lleports Interesting Keport from f
the Ilydrographic Office A Bouj's Long
Travel trom Fort Koyal, S C. .
Washington, Sept. 6. The weekly
bydrographic bulletin, which will be
issued today, presents the interesting
fnct of a wandering: buoy which has
floated from Port Royal, S. C.t far out
into the Atlantic. This last report
shows this can buoy in what is called
the Sargossa Sea, a'place notorious for
its feeble and variable currents, and
shunned by vessels. Derelicts float
around for months in the dead calm
of the ocean sea, and the buoy has
been over four years reaching a
point 300 miles, east of Bermu
da. This is the longest consum
mation of time by a floating body
on record, although several derelicts
have covered a greater distance. Ihe
schooner White Witch drifted from
Delaware Bav to the .Hebrides in ten
months. Her cargo of lumber was
found in good ctnlit on. These dere
licts give the Hydrograpic Office con
siderable trouble, and it is probable
that at no late day maritime nations
will combine in some'effort to rid the
ocean of these dangers to navigation
The Hydrographic Office has added
a new feature to its monthly chart in
the publication of a mean temperature
of the ocean's surface along the trans
atlantic route. A systematic record of
these temperatures would enable ocean
steamers to judge of the advisability
of a northward course in a western
trip, or a southward course is the east
ern trip. This would be a saving to
these vessels of $50 a day in time, and
it is hoped that a record of surface
temperature may be established that
will Sbe of material benefit to ocean
traffic.
Washington, Sept. 6. Advertise
ments were issued from the Navy De
partment to-day calling for bids for the
construction of three steel steam tugs
for use at navv vards on the Atlantic
coast. These are the same boats which
were advertised some months
n cm
when no bids were received, and this
time the department has made certain
modifications in the requirements
which, at is hoped, will induce the
builders to bid, The mercantile tests
for steel are substituted for those Of
the steel board, certain parts of the
outfit and furniture to be furnished by
the contractor are eliminated, the
time in which the tugs are to be com
pleted is extended from six months to
one year, and the payments are to be
made in six' equal installments instead
of one sum. The bids will be opened
on October 6th7 The cost of each of
the tugs, including equipment, outfit,
and lurniture, is limited to $oo,000.
Sheepshead Bay Races.
New York,' Sept. 6. A splendid

The llefttrainiuc Order Refused.
Little Rock, Ark.; Sept. 6. Ap
plication was made to the Circuit Court
for an injunction restraining the Can
vassing Board from counting the re
turns from Pulaski county, from those
precincts wherein the sheriff ejected
the legal judges and placed the polls
in charge of judges of his own selec
The application was refused by the
Court, which says: "There are dupli
cate returns from these various pre
cincts in the clerk's office, each alleged
by the pleadings and duly certified by
the oath of the respective authorities
to be the legal returns of the election.
Under our election laws the whole mat
ter of an election, including voting,
returns of precinct election oflicers,the
canvass by the Board and the certifi
cate of that board, to be forwarded to
the Secretary of State, is to be com
pleted, except iri) special cases of cor
recting returns, on the seventh day. It
can be seen at a glance that inevitable
confusion - would occur if the courts
should lightly, and except in extreme
cases, resort to a restraining order to
stop this election machinery and hold
it in suspense till a litigated right
might be settled."
Increased Treasury Receipts.
City oF Mexico, Sept. 6. From re
liable authority the Associated Press
correspondent is enabed to state that
President Diaz in his speech to Con
gress, on its opening September 15th,
will announce that the cash receipts
of the Federal Treasury for the fiscal
year ended last June amounted to $37,
000,000 against $32,000,000 the preced
ing year. This has never been equall
ed in the history of Mexico. The Gov
ernment has decided to reduce the
army.
Industrial Art Hall Burned.
Philadelphia, Sept. 6. The In
dustrial Art Hall at Broad and Wood
streets was gutted by fire this morn
ing, and several small dwellings ad
joining the hall on Wood street were

opinions of experts, both British and
Austrian, concur as to the admirable
condition of the German fleet and the
wonderful development-of the navy,
which, although the creatien of a re
cent period, is as perfectly organized
as any in the world.
Public interest in the manoeuvres is
slight, but the Emperor has kept at
tention centered upon his movements
by suggestive utterances at official ban
quets, obviously aiming to proclaim his
steadfast adhesion to the Austrian
alliance. He seized the occasion of tho
dinner given at Grayensteen yesterdav
to the Schleswig authorities to refer to
the presence of the Austrian fleet as
proof of the intimate friendship and
brotherhood existing between tne arms
of Germany and Austria. At the

Government circles are agitated over
the new project for the reform of the
Herrenhaus, initiated by theKmperor
under the investigation of Herr Miguel.
A definite outline of the scheme has
not yet been revealed but it is known
that it is the intention of the Govern
ment to so reorganrze the Herrenhaus
so as to destroy the Conservative ma
jority in that House, which stui re
tains feuC ii tendencies ana is nosuie to
the social reforms proposed by his Maj
esty. In connection with i this reform,
a bill has been Iramed proposing tne
abolition of seignorial privileges, by
which land owners in parts of Prussia,
Silesia and other districts control local
elections. The Government is con
vinced that the proposed social reforms
are impossible without a prior sweep
ing away of legislative obstacles.
Pricce Bismarck and the Princess
left Hamburg to-night on their way to
pay a visit to Frau Van Aruirn, the ex
Chancellors sister, at KrochlendorlT.
The Princess's stay at Hamburg has
been one prolonged ovation. Last
evening the local societies held a torch
light procession in Prince Bismarck's
honor. During the evening he made
a brief speech concluding by proposing
cheers for the Emperor.

secres meeting with Emperor William
at Potsdam just before the Emperor
started for Kill. Count Herbert
promised to use his influence with his
father to induce him to cease his rev
elations and to return to friendly rela

declared his readiness to resume friend
ly intercourse with the ex-Chancellor
but the meeting between the two
was postponed until the Emperor's
return from Silesia. The Prince,
during his stay at Kusengen, often as
sociated with the Duke of Edinburgh,
whose admiration went to the length
of begging as . a present a pipe, which
Bismark was accustomed to smoke.
Herr Herrfurth, Minister of the In
terior has issued a circular advising
the local authorities to increase the
police watch upon the Socialists after
the expiration of the anti-Socialist
law. This law produced the impres
sion that the Government looks for
an outbreak of disorders. Several mu
nicipal councils have ignored the cir
cular and some have openly refused to
admit the necessity for such measures.
LONrxDx, Sent. 6. The Right !-Hon.
Anthony J. Mundella, M. P., formerly
president of the board of trade, speau
ing at Sheffield to-night, declared that
the McKinley bill was an insane meas
ure and one that would be most injur
ious to American consumers and likely
to prove destructive to its promoters.
But he advised Englishmen to re
main quiet in regard to the measure.
It would be absurd to retaliate by tax
ing food imports,especially when there
was a prospect of a famine in Ireland.
If the people only waited free trade
would ultimately triumph eren in
America.

Chicago! Sept. fi. The Evening
Journal says: The Central Georgia
and East Tennessee Railroad company
have, it is, reported, purchased the
Louisville, KNew Albany and Chicago
road the Monon route and made it
part of their great Southwestern sys
tem. This gives the Terminal a line
into Louisville over a popular road and
thus enables it to fight its strongest
rival, the jLouisville and Nashville;
also a line into Alabama, making a
powerful triangular system from such
Southern points as Richmond, Savan
nah, Brunswick, Augusta, Atlanta,
Chattanooga and Knoxville to Chicago.
The Monon's tKsition makes the West
Point Terminal a powerful competitor
in Chicago; with the several big sys
tems that now control Southern
freights to and from the Northwest. It
is rumored that the Ixjuisvillo and
Nashville will secure the Marietta and
North Georgia Central, calling for 49
per cent, of the stock of the Georgia
railway and the South Carolina rail
way from Augusta to Charleston and
Columbia.
