That was the- motto on ono of the countless transparomcies In the proces sor! yesterday afternoon of the em ployees of Alex. Sprunt & Son, and every feature of the parade bore out the statement. Headed by Prof. Mil ler's excellent band five hundred men marched through our principal streets which were thronged with the crowds of interested spectator s, and testified as t ) the dimansions and importance of at least one industry of this old city by the frta. The chief attraction was undoubt edly the huge and strikingly beautiful model of an ocean-going steamer, dec orated with the flags of all nations and manned by a craw of sailor boys under the command of Master George Tjhad'-.ourn as captain, and Master Gaston Meyers as pilot. The following boys male up the crew: Masters Champ Davis, Charlie McMillan, Ncill F.merson, Geo. D. Parsley, Jr., Walter D.iggett, Edward Wood, James W.

J Talk About a State Exhibit at World's Fair f-oon Captured, H onvlcted and Sentenced Tne Exposition a Great Suc cess Financially. MESSENGER BUREAU, Raleigh N. C, Dec. 3. J The case of the State, vs. the Sea board and Roanoke railroad company t) compel payment of $70,000 claimed to be due in taxes has been removed from the State to the Federal court on petition of the railroads. Bu3bee and Busbee and Armlstead Jones, who rep resent the State, will on next Tuesday file a plea to the jurisdiction of tho Federal court. The railroad compacy holds that it is not liable for-the taxes and is protected in the contention by the United States constitution. As it involves a matter of between 560,000 and $70,000 claimed in taxep, it is quite an important case. Col. L. L. Polk, president of the Na tional Alliance, made a very earnest t Uk to the Board of Agriculture Tues day upon the importance of having North Carolina's products properl displayed at the World's Fair. The Progressive Farmer came out Btrongly for an appropriation and Mr. Eiias Carr, ex presiaent of the Alliance, had an article advocating liberal action on the part of the State. Judge Armfield and Solicitor Long did quick work at Rowan court thi week.- Two white men stole a horse on Saturday last. One of them , was captured, tried, convicted and this morning was brought to Raleigh and put in the penitentiary. There is great regret here at tho death of Mr., Frank W. Clark. He lived here several years and had many friends. Tuesday afternoon between the hours of 5 and 7, Misses Mabel Hale, Mildred Badger and Mrs. Minnie Bagley gave a high tea to their friends at the resi dence of Mrs. Richard Badger. It was complimentary to Miss Lizzie Dortch, of Goldsboro, and Miss Temple Hamil ton, of Baltimore. Miss Dortch was too ill to be present, and in her stead Mrs. Dr. Laird received with Miss Hamilton and tha nonular hifct-. Be tween fifty andjBixty ladies called and ! usual dullness overtook the occasion was one ol rare pleasure. Misses Janette Badge.-, Kate Badger, Maud Marshall, Mrs. A. W. Haywood, and Mm. Bruce Wright presided in the refrehment room. Mr. Elias Carr, ex-president of the Farmers' Alliance, is here, and with Col. Keogh, Mrs. Kidder, Col. An drews, World's Fair commissioners, trying to get the Board of Agriculture to appropriate 110,000 toward giving a big exhibit of North Carolina products. In this connection the following is in teresting. That was a very good an swer given a gentleman by ex-President Elias Carr when the man re-ma-ked that such legislation as the Alliance proposed wou d make him get only.eighty cents for a dollar. Bro. Carr Ersid that wouldn't be as bad as the farmer getting only fifty cents on the dollar for products of the farm. The Exposition statistics have been riven out by the management.

New York, Dec. 2. The stock mar ket today was as dull as those preced ing it for the last two weeks, but there was a gratifying change in the char acter of the trading, the local trading element having less to do in making quotations, while there wa3 a markt d increase in the number of purchases for investment on account, of both stocks and bonds. Tha market, it may be said, was principally an investors market, and relieved of the usual pres sure of saies for short account, there was a slow but steady improvement in values all along the line, with a few marked movements here and there. Grangers once more came to the front and resumed their old prominence in the market, and Burlington, which at tracted the most attention, was the only stock which finallyjBcored a ma terial gain among the usually active list. Trading was, however, monotous in the extreme, no special feature of interest mark log the transactions in leading shares and the upward movement met with no check, but was slow and at times almost imperceptible. Trade? a were sellers to a limited extent in the forenoon but changed front later in the day, which had the effect of taking all the vim out of the market, but gave a I more decided and strong tone to tne dealings. Burlington was a leader in both strength and activity, and while it is the only stock which could be called active it fairly led the upward movement. A few oi the 6pecialtieF, sich as Milwaukee, Lake Shore pr f irred, and Great Northern preferred, which scored final gains of 1 J and oi per cent respectively, made a sharper movement but the advance in Burlington reached lie, and in all other prominent stocks were confined to fractions. The opening was rather heiititing and showed no 3 o the activity and strength of yester day's final dealings, but a firm tone was soon developed and prices, except in Missouri Pacific and one or two others, showed an advancing tendency. The buying increased rapidly, how ever, and before the end of the first hour the losses in the weak stocks had Dsen recovered and fractional gains established all along the line. The movement halted at noon when the the market but the demand a?ain increased in the last hour and the best prices f the day were generally made at that time. The lack of feature was still very pro nounced, however, and the market finally closed dull but strong to firm at about the top of the day. Sales of listed stocks aggregated 178,000 shares, of unlisted stocks 5,000 shares. An In teresting portion of the market was trading in railroad bonds, which showed not only an improvement in the list, but a widening of the most positive character. Chicago, Dec. 3. Trading in wheat here today was largely of a profes sional character. The market seems to have fallen into a rut and the pubjie has ceased to take much interest in it, As a consequence commission houses are having a light run on orders. It is only when a boom is on and there are prospects of higher prices that the outside public dabbles in grAip pr provisions.

Mr- mills at First Opposed to the Meet Ins In the Afternoon, but Finally , SI ens a Bequest for that Time , Secretary Fosters Health Improving. Washington, Dec. 3. The Speaker ehip contest today shows increasing activity and it is evident to all that a crisis is rapidly approaching. Gossip is no longer directed so much to the relatiye claims of candidates as to speculation regarding the probable withdrawal of weaker aspirants at the various headquarters of the five candi dates. This morning it was conceded that from present indications, with every man remaining in the field, no nomination nvojld be possible on the first ballot. With four-fifths of the Democratic Congressmen in the city this morning indefinite claims are no longer possible, since nearly every man i3 now quite free to express his prf !er J, ence for his favorite candidate. The relative positions of the various candidates at the present writing seem to be as follows: Crisp first. Mills sec ond, Springer thirds McMillin fourth and Hach fifth, although the actfual figures which their respective followers i give out do not seem in any case to be fully borne out by tne lacts, uniy upon one general proposition are they all agreed, that with every candidate in the field a nomination is improbable upon the first ballot, but neither Mr, Mills nor Mr. Crisp concedes that every candidate will be still in the field when the caucus convenes next Saturday, Strenuous efforts are being made to- portion of the city. This is a move in day to effect the withdrawal of certain Ljihe right direction, and we trust the . -i n j 1 Jl I j 1 i ill -- l 1 I 11 ol development vtiinlnvprl. from the long staiKS crowded with bursting bolla to tha ar ticle ready for the press.

Of the visitors, more than 260 were Northern editors many of whom baye written in words of praise of the Exposition and the South. Orer 1,000 other Northern visitors made themselves known at Mr. Patrick's of fice, and of cour6G there were many who did not. It was a great financial suc cess considering the tight times in money matters this fall. The trium phal arch that has spanned Fayette vllle street since October 1, was taken down to-day.

The Freisinnlga Zeitung asserts that Emperor William's speech, made a week ago, on the oc piipn of the administration of the path of allegiance to recruits of the Guard, really contained the following: "Recruits, you taye, Lefpre priests and altar, sworn fealty to me.

The announced publi citioa of his book of sermons, delivered during his yachting excursion last summer, has given fresh irepptua to tal k about the condition of the impenr lal brain , and people recall that the storv told in the Paris newspapers at the time alleged that the Emperor dressed himself like a bishop and de livered a midnightjeermon to the oreWj This was denied, but now ! it appears that the Kaiser did preach sermons and this is regarded as corroborating the remainder of tha sensational etory about his frantic conduct oa ma yacns, enough and that they are due to ad vance, value would probably have eone lower today, The situation is that i witn a very quiet maruet ana a njn oi bearish news there was an undertone of strength throughout most of the ses sion, resulting in an advance oi nearly one cent in prices.

APPOINTMENT OF A NEW METRO POLITAN FOR KIEFF. Darlns Train Robbery. ROME, Ga., Dec. 3. A daring train robbery occurred on the East Tennes see, Virginia and Georgia railroad last night. When the train which leaves Rome for gelma at 10:30 p. m. on the Alabamaidivision arrived at a station about two miles from the city, it was flagged down, and when it stopped two masked men boarded the express car Messenger Sims and one of the train hands wen; ia the c.r, at the time and the robbers covered them with their pistols and de manded tho cash. MefsjDger Sims hande them the money which was o&lv 6.3-5, and when assured that was all they could secure they quickly re tired from the car and escaped through the bushes. So quickly was the rob uerv CGnduCtfid' that the thieves had carried out their purpose &nd ec- caDed before any one on the train real ized the situation.

'He urup ieii reached here this biorninjr that the men t emDloved in the Standard Fall Branch and Wooldridse mines near - Newcomb and Jellico have gone put on strike. The miners claim that the ecresn Qr seives now in use defraud them of a large amount in watrea on account of their big meshes. They also demand that all coal shall he weighed at the mouth of the mines, asirstiner that they have heretofore been wronzed bv the veichmaster. The renorts indicate that the miners are determined and will insist upon a complete accordance to their demands, As vet no disorder or violence ia re ported,. minor candidates m wonting- aisin- tegration in their forces. From early morning rumors have been rife that today would witness the assimilation of all that is vital to the candidacy of Messrs. Springer, McMillin and Hatch toy Messrs. Mills and Crisp. Dp to this hour, however, events have only to a very limited extent verified these ru- mors. Only in the canaiaacy oi Mr. Sorincer have there been any disquiet- in? evidences of a possible disintegra tion in the Iowa delegation, which up to this morning met and again ex pressed its individual and collective preferences for Mr. Springer, but da.- cided that should events indicate that Mr. Crisp might be nominated on the first ballot the vote of the entire dele gation would be thrown to Mr. Mills er the conclusion ot the nrst oaiiot, to prevent that result. Repre sentative Have-, spokesman of the delegation, said to an Associated Press reporter: "We desire it under stood thatjwe are forMr.Springer just as long as there is a possibility of his elec tion. When, however, that possibility no longer exists, should that time ever arrive, we are for Mr, Mills. We are unanimous and will vote aa a U4lt, Should it become evident between now and the close of the caucus that Mr. Crisp, through the defection of the supporters of Mr. McMillin or Mr. Hatch, or Irom any accession whatever, Is likely to be nominated on tho first ballot, we will even upon the initial ballot cast bur votes 'solidly for Mr. Mills to prevent such a result. We will do this, not because we are any the less loyal to Mr. Springer, but because we suaii uayu uueu uuuviucuu lutiw uur fight is a forlorn hope, and wo will de sire as the next best thing to assist in the election of Mr.Mills. We will do this, not because of any personal dislike to Mrf. Crisp, but because we are con vinced the sentiment of the great Northwest is for Mr. Mills as opposed to y. Crisp. Remember, however, must be' convinced of Mr. Springer defeat and the probability of Mr. Crisp's election ere we desert the II llnois candidate' Other followers of Mr. Springer do not seem to be at all alarmed by the conclusions of he T.ova delegation, as they say the contin gency upon which their desertion is to be based will never arise. An awkward dispute has arisen tQ uar the security of the eqn test, and it is possible some bad feeling may be en gendered before it can be amicably adjusted. Mr. Holman, of Indiana, who is chairman of the paucus, is not expected in the city until tomorrow evenirg and the formal call for a cau cus has not been issued. It has been reported that the caucus will bs held at y p. m. Saturday and this hour seems to please an oi the canaiaates except Mr. Mills. That gentleman this morning decided that 7:30 p. m. ghouldhetha hour named. "For years," said he,', "caucuses of the House have been held in the evening and it would be unjust to ail ol the ayepnj embers to depart from the jsrece'ejent.1 Ifhere are members of the House who will not be here "by 2 p. m. Saturday, because they haUirailybelieve the caucus will he held in the evening ana tt would tie a great i i-jury to those men to change the hour. At the suggestion of Mr. Mills, his lieutenant. Mr. Brecken- ridge, of Arkansas, pepajped a paper calling the caucus lor 7:30 p. in. Saturday and proposed that in ihe absence of Mr. Holman it 6hould be signed by the five candidal s for the Speakership asj the rjest solution oi the question. Inquiry at the headquarters of the other candidates at once developed opposition to the plan of Mr. Mill?. "For my part," said Mr. Springer, "I am in favor of having the' caucus meet at the same hour the Mouse ;s accustomed to meet, la o ciocK noon, in any event 1 am opposed to calling it later than 2 p. m. Saturday. To meet at 7:sU p. m. would probably prolong the session far into the night and be a great incon venience to the press of the country and the public, who are quite as much interested in the outcome as are mem bers of the House. Two o'clock Saturday'afternoon, I think, is the best hour," said Mr. Crisp, "but I am quite prepared to let the other candidates settle the hour.' Mr. McMillen's friends favor 2o'clock in the af terjioon, but the followers of Mr. Hatch seem quite indifferent aa tp the hour. In ca.se the candidates are unable to agree upon the hour for cau cus Mr. Holman will probably be wired for a decision, or Messrs. Wilson and Blanchard, secretaries of the caucus, be called upon to settle the dispute.

The Czar has issued a rescript appointing anew metropolitan of the Greek church at Keiff. In it his magesty urges that the most vigorous action should be ta ken against the sturdists, who.the Czar says, "are injuring more and more the faith of our fathers." The sturdists are a protestant sect consisting mostly of Russians from the eastern church, which was formed in 1817- They repu diate the sacraments and demand an equal distribution of property.
