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. .

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. WKEKIX CHOP REPORT. COTTON PICKING GOING ON BRISKLY; TOBACCO CURING SUCCESSFUL. Agricultural Collc Item An !!

C, Sept., . s 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. fro .Washington my. j 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 day's racing was somewhat marred by showers. 1 here were many scratches- First race, sweepstakes, with $100 added, one mile Raceland won, Bene dictine second, Al. .Farrow third. Time 1.42 3-5. Second race, friendly stakes for two-year-olds, and $3,000 purse, Futurity course, about six furlongs Gascon won, Key west second, Westchester third. Time 1.12 2-5.

Fifth race, handicap sweepstakes, with $1,250 added mile and three fur longs Montague won, i Prince Fonso seoond, Eleve third. Time 2.25. Sixth race, heavy weight handicap sweepstakes with $1,000 added, one mile and a half on the Turf Philoso phy won, St. Luke second, Lotion third. Time 2.39. 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 consumed. NEWS BY CABLEGRAM.

O.f Copyright J Emperor William. General Von Moitke, General Von Goitz, Count Von Walderse, Archuke Stephen and Admiral Sterneck of the Aus trian .Navy, to-day watched on board the flagship Baden the ma nbuevre of the fleet in the Flemsbur ger fiord. Sealed orders given to Ad miral Dembart outlined the plan of the eneray'j eet. The approach of the attacking squadron was to be through the great belt, and tbe German Admirals . had to attack the en- V emy ana keep mm irom en tering the fiord. The Austrian beet witnessed the manoeuvres. 1 he 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 Flensbursr dinner his words were: "We stand here upon historic soil whereon our arms, united witn Ausirians, nave iU" u V4 4" ki -cvT The Iteichsanginyer to-night published mi 1 an omciai version oi tne speecnes which is calculated to Footh Austrian iealousv arising over the Peterhof in terviews and to prepare the way for conferences with Emperor Francis Joseph during the manoeuvres in Silesia. Emperor William will leave Kiel Wednesday. ie win oe witn nis iam ilv only two hours Friday, and after at tending the manoeuvres at Breslau will meet Emperor Francis Joseph on Sun day- . . .. . , 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. Uount Herbert liismarck nave a 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 tions with his Majesty. The Emperor 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. Paris, Sept. 6. After having made four unsuccessful attempts to fight a duel on account of differences arising from the Boulanger revelations, M. M. Rochefort and Thiebaud this morning succeeded in having an encounter in which M. Thiebaud was wounded. The duel was fought in a stable at Laclinge, Holland. M. Thiebaud was wounded in the thigh. His injury is trifling. London, Sept. 6. Advices from Accra state that the French expedition against Abomey, the capital of Daho mey, will set out on the 18th inst.

Another Itljc Kallroad Consolidation. 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.
