N. C, Dec. 27. f Christmas certainly passed off pleasantly. Tt was fair and cold. . The churches were well attended and there was much good cheer. Yesterday was observed as the holi day. There was not an accident here and very little intoxication. From force of habit your correspondent made the tour of the public offices, and of all' the .officials found only two, the Commissioner of Ag riculture, and the clerk of the Rail way Commission. They were not at work, but were only looking" over their mails. Parties of fantastically costumed boys marched in all directions and. there waatnuch horn blowing, with salutes by. baby-wakers and all other noise making contrivances. The Veterans at the Soldiersr Home, the inmates of the insane asylum and the con victs at the penitentiary all had Christmas dinners. The veterans had a fine one, many contributions of edibles having come in from various parts of the State. Gifts of money were also made. ' H or several days there has been "great ex pectations" of snow. Yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock the first flakes began to fly. Then there was a slack, but at 1 o'clock this morning one of the heaviest snow storms in some years bejan. By 7 o'clock the snow was six inches deep. By 1 o'clock this afternoon it was nearly a foot deep on a level. In drifts there were depths . of two feet or more. -The wind blew steadily from the north; the Hakes flew ceaselessly. Bus iness was suspended yesterday as a courtesy, but to-day as a necessity. It was nearly noon when the first street car made a trip. anu it was siow Dusmess. me ground is frozen like a plank and the snow as dry as powder, so it is not good for sleighing, but the jingle of the bells will be heard to-morrow. There was a sudden death here this morn ing, the victim being Mr. Lynn Adams, who for years was a well known business- man; heart disease was the trouble. Mr. Clarence Busbee, a young man wh j for months . has been very low with con sumption, died early to-day. -r A telegram from Washington, D. C, re ceived to-day, announces the death there last night of Gen. John C. Gorman, whd from 1S71 to 1877 was Adjutant General of this State. During the war he served gal lantly in the Confederate service, rising to the rank of captain. - He was by trade a printer and was a member of the once well known Raleigia job printing firm of Nichols & Gorman. Governor Holt wai at t'le executive office this morning early, and told me he .intended to devote the remainder of this week to the completion of his message. He did not 'at first propose that it should be a lengthy doc ument, but there were so many new sub jects to be treated that he was compelled to make it quite long. He is warmly in favor of the Nicaragua canal and urges the Legis lature to support it. Next week the Governor will issue three death warrants for the Whitson brothers, of Mitchell county, and for Leonidas Mc Knight, of Surry, all convicted of murder. No Apologise From Father McGlynn. New York, Dec. 26. The much mooted question as to the terms on which Dr. Mc- Glynn was restored to his functions as a priest of the Roman Catholic Church was partially answered last night by that priest's declaration that he had made no apologies to Roma. After his lecture in Cooper Union a reporter asked him on what terms he had been restored. "Well, I think I said enough about myself in the lecture," .replied the Clergyman. "Will the other conditions of the concilia tion be given to the public throug? any other source."' was asked. "What do you mean by conditions?" Father McGlynn asked, with some asperity. The" reporter suggested that apologies or penances of some kind mght be required of him. "You haven't seen any apologies, have you? Well, then, if there are no apologies visile, even through a microscope, it is not probable .that I made any. I have not heard of any apoiotfea" . ' , : i Father McGlynS, this morning, absolutely declined to discuss the -?rospe stive field in which he expects to resume h" priestly labor. Fire:inn Sofiicated by Sniolte. Milwaukee, Dec. 27. The Wilson Becker( Leather company's big tannery, together with that of Conrad Bros., located at the foot of Sherman street, were almost totally destroyed. The firenr fen were much ham pered by the cold weather. Becker's tan nery first caught and Conrad's building was full of firemen when the flames leaped to it. One fireman by the name of Huebener was overcome by smoke and "burned to death. Another named Thomas Sullivan is missing. He was probably overcome by smoke and his body or charred remains will be" found in the ruins. George Richmond, of the fire patrol, was overcome by smoke in the Conrad building and died. His body has been recovered. This makes the second death with the probability that that of Sul livan is in the ruins. Becker's loss is $225, 000; insurance, $175,000; "Conrad Bros.' loss, $200,000; insurance $38 000. Cotton Fumres. New Yoek, Dec. 27.

He added that he would refuse to return to France even with a safe conduct, remarking significantly that he regarded Baron de Reinach's death as warning to himself. '.' . ." " ' ... ' , Orton is generally believed to have takea refuge in Spain, where he is waiting for the storm to blow over. T Paris, Dec. 27. In the eTeater attending the proceedines in the Chamber Deputies, and the revelations compro mising so many prominent men in the Pan ama canal scandal sight has been lost to a certain extent of the autopsy on Baron de Reinach, whose death bas been attributed to various causes7-apoplexy. suicide and mur der. The Government having charge of the examination, it is consequently slow and is attended with great secrecy. Figaro to-day states that it has information to the effect that Dr. Bronardel, who had charge of the post mortem examination, has reported to the Government that apoplexy was not the ci use of the Baron s death, but that he was poisoned and that the poison was taken into his stomach eisrht hours before death. Figaro also says , that the family of de Keinacii are aware of the contents of the reportrand have demanded thata judicialin- quiry. be held to prove that the Baron did not commit suicide. It has been more than likely that Baron Reinach was put out of the way by those who feared that his evidence mieht imnli- cate them in the scandal. If it is true that poison was-found in his stomach eight hours before, there would be eood reason to believe that this charge asrainst certain men is Uue, for on the nigntof the Baron's death he, (together with Rouvier and Clemenceau, attempted to secure the cessation of the newspaper attacks that were being made upon him. It is not at all probable that had Kemach contemplated suicide he would have gone to the trouble to attempt to stop the attacks that in a few hours would have been nothing to him. and neither would he have displayed su h deep feeling as to the result of the attacks. Horrible as it may seem, tnere is no denying the fact that some of those implicated in tle scandal would have felt greatly re- heved if Reinach waa dead, -and beyond giving evidence that would be smirch their heretofore good names. The fact that the Duron's death was linked to the sudden and mysterious deaths of two other men who were cognizant of the bribery of the Legislators gives added strength to the demand of the Baron's fam ily that an inquiry be held to place the re sponsibility lor.

Nine more officers are among those imprisoned either under suspicion or direct charges of connection with the conspiracy against the Czar. Rus sian authorities believe that they have un etrih?d a wide?prtai plot in which not only a number of the lower officialf, but also those of higher rank, are involved; and many of the officers having positions of trust and confidence near the person 6f the Czar have been put under surveillance, al though not under arrest being given leave of absence from duty. There is much dis content hi the army" with the prolonged pe riod of peace and mapy of the officers think that the Czar is too pacific in bis disposition, There is no longer an outlet for their war like spirits in subduing tribes of Central Asia. AH these have been brought thor oughly under Russian subjection. The Russian Empire was never more peacable, so far as external enemies were concerned. Murmuring among the army officers is correspondingly great. Mean time the persecution of the -Jews goes on more earnestly than ever, the leading official in the persecution being the Grand Duke Sergius, brother of the Czar and husband of Q.ieen Victoria's granddaughter. He seems determined to turn every Jew out of the city. The Jewish population of Moscow has al ready been reduced Irom about au.uuu wnen Sergius became Governor to about 30.000, and the number continues todecrease under the added rigor of laws and the jptolerable severity pj their entorcement. . uy tiie new law, which has recently been put in force. only ten out of a hundred Jewish lawyers in Moscow and St. Petersburg are allowed to practice, while in Warsaw and Russian Poland this liberty is wholly denied feol- diers detailed to assist the police in guaTd. ing Jews treat them with the greatest bru tality and freauentlv prick the unfortu nates with their bayonets'if they attempt to leave stations in whicn they are pennea.

At the Ace of Seventj-Three He IstU 1 Victim of Paralysis. The Rev. Dr. Charles F. Deems, pastor of the church of the Strangers in Mercer street, is to be taken to the Dansville Sanitarium, either to-morrow or next day for treatment. The' venerable divine is a victinuto nervous -prostration brought on by excessive labor. lie also suffers from a partial paralysis of the right hand, with which he has written to many able sermons as well as contribu tions for the press. Dr. Deems isiust a few weeks over seventy-three years old. v Notwithstanding his adyanced age he rarely failed to preach his usual' Sunday morning sermon until yesterday. On Wed nesday mght, the 14th inst.j the doctor opened the fair at Hope Chapel, in East Fourth street. During the same week he delivered a speech on prohibition, attended two or three fairs and made addresses, and by Friday was thoroughly worn out Mrs. Deems begged him to take a rest, but he in sisted upon preparing his sermon for the next Sunday. He had hardly taken up his pen when he discovered that his fingers re fused to perform their functions. Dr. Le Fevre. the family physician, was sum moned. He pronounced it a case of sympa thetic paralysis, induced by bodily exhaus tion, and urged Dr. Deems to give up his pastoral work for a time at least. - Still the doctor begged to be permitted to deliver another sermon to his congregation, and the following Sunday, evening he addressed it for the last time in perhaps many months. He was so weak that, as he spoke, he was compelled to sit in a chair. Those who heard the sermon declare it to have been one of the most eloquent and powerful ever delivered by him. - .Since that night the doctor has implictitly obeyed the orders of his physician, and last night he was reported tobea little improved. hlna. ,yorld Porter called at the New York hotel to see the doctor he sent word that he was sorry to say "no," but that Mrs. Deems would speak for him. Mrs. Deem is a motherly li ttle woman, withray hair and an exceedingly sweet face. "My husband," said she, ' is little improved to-day, but I fear it w.ll be some time before he can re sume his pastoral labors. We shall go to Dansville the coming week. Old as he- is, he seems to think he can perform as much bran and physical labor as when he first itered the ministry; , - During the doctor's absence his pulpil willtje failed by clergymen selected by the Church committee. Dr. Deems was the originator, of the American' Institute of Christian Philosophy and has edited the Watchman and Chrintian Thought: He was once president of the Greensboro Female College, N. C. The doctor came to this city in 18i, and for a while preached in the chapel of the University building. - So large did the congregation finally become that Commodore Vanderbilt opened his heart and perse and presented Dr. Deems with the bea-Uiful church edifice in Mercer street. The present congregation is one of the birgest in the city. JVew York World of Mondayx . ' ' V IIohssU IaHK of . cmi Heamere. New' York, Dec. 27.
