5. S
An extremely well informed and
prominent Democrat said to me to day
that he believed Senator Gordon's join
ing the Farmers' Alliance was only the
n ret step towards his becoming tie can
didate of that powerful order for the
presidency. It is the belief of a great
many thinking people that the Alliance
wiil enter the political field a3 the
"third party. It will have immense
strength in this State; doubtless it will
have in others. The interest felt in
this matter may be plainly seen, Then
it is stated that there is more talk
about the issues and parties and candi
dates in tke next campaign than was
ever before heard so far - ahead. The
Alliance people are reticent. The Re
publicans do not know just where the?
stand. The Democrats know what a
great victory they wi n last year,thanks
to the Alliance, but cannot tell what is
ahead. Such is the situation in North
Carolina now.
Rev. Dr. Taylor, president of Wake
Forest college, has been in New York,
in conference with the representative
of Mr. Bostwick, the wealthy benefac
tor of that codege. Mr. Bostwick is
now in Palestine.
The clerks of the Legislature are fin
ishing up their work on the ( journals.
etc. Nearly all is in tie printers hands.
The new volume of laws will fca 9. large
one.
Tne grippe has not yet run its course
here, and it is one of the most difficult
diseases to sbake off. The intensely
disagreeable and trying ma ter makes
it far worte.
The county convict force has for some
time been unab.e to do any work upon
the public roads, owing to the terrible
weather. The latter continues. Under
the new law county convicts can repair
and build bridges and n move obstruc
tions from streams.
No man can tell the number of cases
of measles in this city and section. In
some families all the children are sick
with it. V
Mrs. Tom Thumb and her company
are here. It is about fifteen years since
her last appearance at R.ileigla.
Police Inspector Conlin, of New
York, is here. His family will remain
until .April. Raleigh, with a new and
modern hotel, would attract maoy win
ter travellers. It is stated that the
Seaboard road wiil later on build hotels
here andat several.other points on its
line.
In FDite otalt.the efforts which will
be made to secure a reduction f the
cotton acreage.lt is doubtful whether
there will beany result. Last year the
Alliance made an earnest attempt to
get the acreage reduced, but to little
purpose. There willXunquestionably
be a greater diversification of the crops
this year thaa heretofore.The Com
missioner of Agriculture sayshe is sure
of that fact.
Gen. Chilton, of the Inter-State Bu
reau of Immigration, is down with tho
grippe.
The street railway matter is still a
common ropic of talk. The situation
is unchanged.
The improvements in the northeast
ern part of the city are numerous. Ra
leigh has in the past ten years grown
remarkably in that direction. Gener
ally cities grow more to the west.
The moonshiners have jast been
stirred up in a lively fashion in Duplin
county and one of them, Robert Ed
wards, by name, badly wounded. A
posfco cf revenue officers, io charge of
Deputy Collector W. J. Polk and
Deputy Marshal Zach Rhodes7did the
work. Near Purgatory they came up
with a distillery operated by Edwards.
The latter fled, but Rhodes capture
him. As tho officer and his captive
were passing through a gate Edwards
made a break and thereupon the officer
shot him in the back witn. a revolver.
Tho wounded man is the brother .of a
man who last year robbed the mails.
Near Sarecla, in the same neighbor
hood, the officers captured Albert
Baker and his distillery. It is the
custom among the moonshiners to carry
away their liquor, each night, the
officers only got 600 gallons of beer and
ninety gallons of singlings. John T. 1
Mabley had a still but as a result of a I
quarrel with his partners the latter cut
up the still and thus savedlhe reyenue
officers some trouble. Mobley Was ar
rested and is under boad.
In Onslow it is said there is much
moonshining more, in fact, than in
any other (iounty in this district. A
few years ago there was a great deal
in Lenoir. Now that has nearly died
out.
The revenue officers assure your cor
respondent that moonshining is de
creasing. The growth of the temper
ance movement and the development
of th country causes this. They say
nothing will do more damage to the
morals of a community than an illicit
distillery.
The officers report vast tracts of
country in the eastern counties as un
der water and the worst kas not yet
come.
The Legislature took no steps to

No Abatement Sn the Blizzard Another
Heavy Fall of Snow Great SaBerlng of
Travelers from Exposure.
London, March 13. While through
out the London district a thaw has set
in and is causing considerable incon
venience, there are no signs of moder
ation in the s;verity of the weather in
southwest England. A heavy snow
storm prevailed throughout the past
nlgnt in Devonshire and Cornwall con
siderably adding to the sufferings of
the farmers and still further impeding
traffic on the railroad. As for the
country roads they are utterly impas
sable with huge snow drifts. This
state of affairs is causing some uneasi
ness, for much suffering among the
poorer classes is bound to grow out of
it: In many places the schools have
closed. An incident is related of the
snowing up of a four horse coach load
of passengers in Exeter. They camped
by the road side built a huge fire and
a rude hut, b it had nothing to eat, andT
when rescued they were half starved
as well a3 half frozen. '
The mail train-was snowed up near
Dou-itand for two days. The train men
footed it to Doustand, but could get
nobody t face the storm to carry re
lief to passengers who built fires by the
roadside and heated water tank foot
warmers, whieh form the only means
of heating English railroad cars, and
thus did their best to keep themselves
warm, but with little success. So terri
bly did the ladies suffer that a number
of then are now at Doustand confined
to their beds under medical treatment,
while several of the male passengers
suffered almost as much from exposure
and want of food. Many simUar cases
have come to light, some as bad as the
one just related. ' . -
West Cornwall has been in a state of
complete isolation since Monday last.
The first communications with that
district were opened up to-day.
Funeral of Bishop Paddock.
Bost, March 13. At the Church
of the Advent yesterday morning a
choral celebration of holy commumion
was held for the repose of the soul of
the late Bishop Paddock, of the Epis
copal Diocese of Massachusetts. Rev.
Father Frisble celebrated the re
quiem mass, assisted by Revs. Spen
cer and Mills, Rev. Father Ay re,
of Salem, delivered the sermon.
Funeral services over the remains of
Bishop Paddock were held at Trinity
Church at 2;30 - o'clock this afternoon
and were very largely attended, the
great edifice being crowded to its ut
most capacity. The service, which
consisted of the regular burial service
wf the Episcopal Church, , were con
ducted by Rev. Dr. Lindsay. Out of
the 161 clergy of the diocese over 145
were present.
At the close of the services the body
was placed in the hearse and carried
to the chapel, where it was placed in
charge of a guard of honor for the
night. A special car will leave to
morrow morning and run through to
Norwich. There will be no services
at Norwick except prayer at the grave.
A Dense Fog In New York Harbor.
New York, March 13. A heavy fog
this morning caused some accidents on
East river, fortunately without serious
results. jA ferry boat of the Roosevelt
street ferry and the Southam of the
James slip lerry collided, wniie Hear
ing the New York side. The boats
were crowded with people and for a
few moments it looked as if a panic
might ensue. The damage to the boats
was flight.
The sound steamer, City of New Lon
don, on her down trip this morning
crashed into the ferry boat Republic,
of the" Catharine ferry. The ferry boat
was hurUn either collision. The pilot
was considerably damaged. iNODOoy
boat. Hope Nol. of New York, went
ashore on Sancy Hook point about 1:30
o'clock a. m. to day duriag the dense
fog and a heavy raid storm and re
mains aground. At 8 o'clock she was
thumping heavily on the beach. Her
rudder and part cf her keel are gone
and her boat has been washed from
her deck and smashed. The life sav
ing patrol took off her crew, and while
doing so, had their life boat stove in.
Snow Five to Forty Feet Deep.
Santa Fe, N. M., March 13. All
mail due fiom Denver since Monday is
again tied up in a snow blockade on the
Denver ano Rio Grande road, between
Antonito and Trespledras. For tho
last three days a snow storm, accompa
nied by heavy winds, has prevailed
throughout the ISan Juan country.
From Charaa word comes that eighteen
miles of track west of there is under
snow from a depth of five to forty feet.
This is being cleared off at the rate of
a mile a day, so that no trains can hope
to go west of Chama short of April 1.
In the meantime it is feared that there
will be great suffering among the peo
ple at Munroe, Amargo and other sta
tions as far west as Durango and Sil
verton. Ilia Shortage Growing Larger.
St. Louis, March 13. A despatch
from Little Rock, Ark., says that ru
mors of an additional shortage, in the
accounts of ex-Treasurer Woodruff are
again flying fast and furious. It is
said he is short more than $100,009 in

mittee investigating the office, without
exception, refuse to talk at all upon
the subject, and it is impossible to
learn anything authentic.

"2b the Irish 'people of America: -
Fellow Countrymen: In 1SS0 and
the subsequent year you assisted me
powerfully by yoar influence tpon
American hr public opinion and with
your generous financial support to
create the great movement of the Land
Leagues. Without your aid, so freely
given and so constantly maintained,
Ireland could sot for one moment have
made head against her oppressors, still
iass could -she have attained the posi
tion of power ad the promise
of success which fche has occupied dur
ing the last five years. At the instant
when victory ieemed near and certaia,

complex organization of our party,
aided by skd dei panic anong some
young new Vecruits, seconded by a few
mal-contents, office seeker and envious
persons, who crept into ourrasks, tem
porarily destroyed the unity of our
forces.
"It now becomes my teik to restore
this unity and reconstruct our move
ment, lopping off all unsound materials,
taking effectual precautions agaiast the
admission in future into our army f
any weak, treacherous, self seeking
elements. Fortune has unveiled this
danger and given space for this recon

and disclosure has brought about the
realization of the insufficiency of Glad

was timely and all-important.

explain and defend my position. I
commend them to your hospitality and
I am confident that you will extend to
them a most favorable reception and
hearing. They are each and all well
tried soldiers who have constantly dis

against coercion and British misrule,
who, despite intimidation and influence
of a most unscrupulous and far-ieach-ing
character, have bravely defended

London, March 13. The Hamburg
American line steamer Servia, west
ward bound, is drifting about (tie Brit
ish channel, nobody knows where. She
was reported disabled yesterday, sixty
miles off Lizzard with a heavy easterly
gale blowing and a rough sea. A pow
erful sea-going tug was sent after her,
but the tug made such rough weather
that she was obliged to put in at Fal
mouth without finding the Servia. The
latter-vessel was spoken Tuesday after
noon by a small channel steamer named
Acme, which could do nothing to help
her, but took her first officer to Ply-
P10 ho sent out the tug. Another
tug left Southampton to-day to search
for the Servia. The trouble with the
Servia was a broken valve in '' the low
pressure engine.
LONDON, March 13. The unknown
steamer reported wrecked off Strait
Point Monday, was the steamer
Mirama, of Liverpool. When the
steamer struck, those aboard took to
the boats. One boat containing vessel
officers went down at once and all were
lost. Another boat containing some
sailors and the firemen .capsized twice
but washed, ashore with four Swedish
sailors alive. One of them died from
exposure and the other three are in a
bad condition.
Berlin, March 13. In the Reich
stag to day von Boettischer, Vice Pres

London, March 13. The Bank of
England yesterday declared a dividend
of 5i per cent. Mr.Lidderdale reported
progress in the matter of Baring Bros.
On '.March, 1st the debt had been re
duced to 3.500,000. In spite of the
decline of the South American secur

over the debts sufficient to protect the
guarantors.
London, March 13. Parnell's ab

Application For Payment of the Direct
Tax Proff8or Charles Smiley Su
nended French Spoliation Claim.
Washington, March 13. The first
application for repaymen of the Direct
Xhk under the act of the last Congress
wus 1 eceived at the Treasury Depart
ment to-day. It was from Governor
Hill, of New Yerk, and the amount cf
money called for was about f 2,225,000.
The application must be scrutinized by
the Fifth Auditor, First Comptroller
and Comissioner of Internal Revenue,
and the officer who made the original
collection. When the account is veri
fied a draft will be sent to the Governor
of New ork, the money to beheld in
trust lor distribution to the persons
who paid the tax on their heirs.
The amount of silver offered for sale
to the Treasury Department to-dav was
670,000 ounces; the, amount purchased
was 403,000 ounces at 9l.3999.
Jfroiessor Unarles w. Smilev. of this
city, special agent of the eleventh cen
sus, in charge of the division of fish and
fisheries, has been temporarily relieved
from duty. The work of his division
stops and the agents under him
are recalled from theXfield. Demdincr
an investigation into the charges which
have been preferred against him af
fecting his ofScial conduct. The
harges are mainly that heiias used his
official position and influence to ' dis
credit and embarrass the United States
fish commission and that in conse
quence of his having thus occupied a
large part of his time and that of his
special agents, the value of the work
01 his division has been seriously im
paired. These charges are now ctnder
investigation by census officials who
wiil soon make a report to Superinten
dent Porter. Professor Smiley, who
was at one time connected with the
United States fish commission and is
well and favorably known here among
scientists, makes a positive denial of
these charges and confidently expects a
complete vindication.
The first application under the law
providing for payment of , French
Spoliation claims was filed in the Court
of Claims to day by the attorneys for
Wm. Gardner, administrator of. Caleb
Gardner. The award in this case is
$41 578. The court ia asked to certify
that the claimants are entitled to tho
award under the original judgement.
The duty of tke Court of Claims in the
matter of these-claims is now purely of
a clerical character, being a certifica
tion of the French Spoliation award?,
to go the First Auditor of tho Treas
ury for entry upon his books and then
the award goes to the warrant division
of the Treasury Department, where a
check is drawn and forwarded to the
authorized party in interest.
Washington, March 13. The Inter
State Commerce Commission to day, in
an opinion by Mr. Morrison, decided
the case of Cbxe Bros , & Co., against
the Lehigh Valley Railroad company.
The points decieed ar 3: First, classifi
cation not obligatory, on road?,' but
when misused the commission may cor
rect; second: Besides terminal ex
penses there are other consideraticns
which justify lower proportionate
charges for longer distances; third:
Several connecting lines doing through
business rates as one in adjustment of
rates;fourth; The commission is author
ized to determine what rates are reason
able as well as what are unreasonable-,
fifth: The present system of grooping
mines in the Lehigh and Mahoney
authmcite coal regiens for rates east
and west subjects the complainants to
no undue prejudice; sixth: The rates
which are now $1.70, $1.40, and $1.20

and $1.5.

ern No. 1 is quoted as low as $17 and
Southern at $16 25.
The prospect for the building trades
is rather dull here, but at other cities,'
particularly in the West, it is remark
ably bright, with the single conditioi
that threatened labor troubles do net
interfere.
The wool Manufacture is doing re
markably well, though prices of goods
do not advance; the mills engaged on
dress goods and knit goods are espe
cially active, and the worsted werks
are on full time with fair prices.
In the boot and shoe industry the
shops are fairly employed and some
new jvorks are going up, but the specu
lative flurry in hides and leather has
made business less satisfactory. Re-(
ports from other cities are fairly fayor-
able.
Reports from the entire South are a
shade brighter because cotton has re
covered slightly in price. .Baltimore
reports trade ahead of last year; Hew
Orleans finds cotton receipts moderate,
sugar dull and rice firm; Savannah
deems the prospect very brigkt, and at
Atlanta better price in cotton helps,
but at Memphis the depression con
tinues, and at Louisville trade is slow.
At the South little is said of Collec
tions, but throughout the West com
plaints of slow collections grow more
frequent and the money markets,though
now here positively striDgent, are gen
erally firm with more active demand.
The volume of business continues
larger than a year ago, but the range
01 prices, farm products included is
over ten per cent higher, and has ad
vanced H per cent during the past
week.
Wheat rdse ,41 cents, but reacted
about 1 centHodav. sales for the week
being 56,000,000 bushels. Considering
that western' receipts steadily exceed
last v ears7, while reports cf foreign
scarcity are not sustained by exports,
. r m
which still fall far behind last years'.
speculation is venturesome.
Corn has advonced 4i cents and oats
21 cents for the week on rather larger
sales than usual, and cotton has risen
an eighth on sales of 600,000 hales,
but all speculative markets have to
recede with the possibility 01 scarce
money before leng, as the drain from
this city to the interior continues.
In the s'ock market foreign
claims came when holders wero
wearied by the absence of pub
lic support, which wa3 expected
after Congress adjourned, and by the
continuance of controversies which it
was hoped were settled weeks ago.
But the decline has only put back
prices to about the level of January 1st,
and while the market is very dull, it
shows no symptons of alarm or special
weakness,
