A New Enterprise Tardy Tax Payers Work, on the Durham and. Charlotte Railroad to Be gin at Once The Newspa per Consolidation An Army of Tramps iu the City. . Messenger Bureau, Raleigh. March. 18. There continues to be much division among the ministers of the different con. gregations over the proposition to invite Evangelist Moody to open a series of meetings in Raleigh. Several consulta tions have been held here with no result. The main opposition arises from the fact that the Methodist Conference last fall adopted resolutions against the exercise of ministerial functions without license, and it is claimed that Mr. Moody comes within the line of prohibition. It is un derstood that Rev.; Dr. Carter, of the First Baptist church, Rev. Mr. Daniels, of the Presbyterian church, and Rev. Dr. Reid, of the Christian Advocate, oppose the invitation, and that Rev. Dr. Hall, of the Tabernacle, and Rev. Mr. Foster, of the Christian church, favor it. There seems but little chance of anything like unanimity. Letters of incorporation for a .new plant in the direction of a wagon factory have been issued. The incorporators in clude some of our best business men, and the prospects of success seem assured. The capital stock is $25,000, of which $18,000 has been paid in. There is much tardiness in the pay ment of taxes ji tliis township and the delinquent list will probably- be larger than for some years. This is accounted for on the ground of bad crops last year, from the effects of which there has been but little recuperation. Commissioner John Robinson, of the Agricultural Department, tells your cor respondent, mat ne anticipates opposi tion. It is rather surmised that lion. Geo. W. Sanderlin will bo his onnonent. By general consent, yesterday was one of the worst days of the season. Daring tlie day the streets were almost deserted except by such as were compelled to brave the elements. It now seems to be an assured fact that the Durham and Charlotte railroad, for which a charter was granted by the late j-iegisiatur? win be speedily commenced. The charter was earnestly opposed by Senator Ayeock and others, pn the ground that it would be detrimental to the interest ot the btate in the North Carolina railroad, but the knowing ones here in railroad circles seem to think dif ferent, as it cannot be really termed a parallel line. It will open up a section rich in ores, which cannot but have a beneficial effect in Raleigh, Some of our business men, seem to fear that the building of this hne will cause an exten sion of the Atlantic and Raleigh road from its present terminus "in the woods" arounu Kaleigh to the north and, direct to Durham. If this conclusion should prove correct, it will be onlv tlie yresult pf their tardy action, of which they have had frequent warnings. lhere have Been, so far, but very few declinations of the office of justice of the peace elected by the recent Legisla ture. This is rather uncommon, but the rage seems to be for office, no matter how unremunerative. There is still a hitch in- the matter of the consolidation cf the two morning papers of this city. It seemed to be "ar parent late yesterday, afternoon that an announcement would be made to-morrow, but those presumed to be in the confidence of the contracting parties', say this morning, that many details, are vet to-be arranged. There is very little, if any .abatement in the rush for positions under the penitenti ary management.The fact that the board of directors adjourned over their first meeting without any selections, merely added to the push. A member of the board informed your correspondent this morning that the applications consti tuted a "hugh pile," many of which were for places that never had existed, or were even anticipated. There is a perfect advance of tramps in the city, coming principally 'from the North, and the ooiice are kept busy look ing after them. Mayor Badger has usually disnosed of them by a safe conduct to the city line-; with an injunction to leave he has changed his policy, however, and to-dav he sent a robust lopKmg rrencn man to the workhouse for twenty days The fellow Arrived on the outskirts of the citv at msrht and built a fire m an unoccupied house, ne tnen ieii asieep, thprebv almost causing a serious ; con fiaeration.

Toledo, March 18. The issuance of an injunction by Judge Taft, yesterday, re straining the Brotherhood men from boy cotting Ann Arbor freight and the filing of a $300,000 damages suit against Chiefs Arthur and Sargeant, has put a new phaze on the situatiod and it is impos sible to tell at present what course the men wilPnow pursue. Chief Arthur, before he left the city, was non-committal as to what steps he would take. As it now stands, the only apparent course left the nien is to inaugurate a general strike and tie up all the roads, in the hope that they may thus bring the Ann Arbor to terms. , - - : - At midnight last night, notwithstand ing the injunction of the United States Circuit court, a number" of Lake . Shore engineers cut out Ann Arbor cars and refused to handle them. As soon asJhe Lake Shore officials heard of the matter they communicated with Judge Ricks at Cleveland, and he will be brought to Toledo on aspecial train this afternoon to hear the cases of the Lake Shore engi neers who will be charged with contempt. The Pennsylvania engineers have had a . confiirfisce with then ouicials and agreed to stand by the decisions of the Courts and not uphold the Brotherhood against the courts. Ann Arbor cars are being handled in Pennsylvania yards to-day. The Ann Arbor, for the first time since the strike began, is doing business to-day with non-union men on the engines. Alt passenger and freight trains are running. COMMERCIAL, NEWS. Stocks and Bonds in New York The Grain and Provision Markets of j Chicago. New York, March 18. The bulls on stocks showed more courage to-day than they have for-some time past. At the opening they took hold of American Sugar and Northern Pacific, preferred, ami in the first ten minutes of business established an advance in these stocks of 1(3 1$ per cent. American Sugar was purchased freely by leading operators connected with the pool, whiie the change, for the better in Northern Pacific affairs was signalized by purchases of round amounts of preferred stock for both short and long accounts. The up ward tendency of the market was check ed, however, by reports of exports of about $1,000,000 gold by Tuesday's European steamers.. The reaction ranged from i to i per cent., but the weak ness was not of long duration. Erie was specially weak, declining to 19J for com mon and to 9 j for consolidated 2ds. Then the publication of a more favorable bank statement and the denial of the gold shipment rumors improved matters. In the rise which followed, Industrials were most conspicuous, American Sugar sell ing to 103, Distilling and Cattle Feeding to Cordage to 00 and Lead to 39 J. Grangers, Coalers, Missouri Pacific, New England and Northern Pacific, preferred, were all prominent in the late rises, Among the specialties Pittsburg and Western, preferred, was conspicuous for an advance of 2 to 35 J.

The Sun's Cotton Review. New York, March 18. The Sun's cot ton review says: Trading was confined to quite moderate limits and fluctuations were not great. The bears were sur prised at the bullish Liverpool news to day and, for that matter, were the bulls. This, together with fche recent influx of cotton to the continent, caused a slight advance at first; but it was a local mar ket and a good many operators here pre fer to settle up their trades on eitner side of the account on Saturday for fear of what may possibly take place on Sunday, Otherwise, there was enough selling to give the market a set back and quota tions were slightly below the hnalhgure3 of yesterday. The kernel of the whole situation is the English strise, and nothinsr new was known in ' regard to the matter. Jrrices rose 6 to 4 points, bust lost this and closed quiet and 1 to 2 points lower, with sales of 62,500 bales. Xo Training of Prize Fighters in Miss- . issippi New Orleans, March 18.

' i (By Associated Press.) i Washington, March 18. The con ference between the officers of the Marine Hospital service and the maritime quar antine officers of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts has adjourned, after having vir tually agreed upon a uniform code' of quarantine regulations, which, it is be lieved, will be as effective as regulations can be in preventing the introduction of cholera. The work of the conference is now being put into shape, but it will be some time before the regulations .are framed and ready for official promulga tion. It is understood that five days was agreed upon as the period of deten tion for quarantined vessels. Cer tain regulations : as " to disinfec tion and other matters will oper ate to modify this period and will leave more or less discretionary power in the officers administering the law. The period of detention for yellow fever has not been definitely determined, the con ference leaving this and some other mat ters in the hands of the Government of ficers after full exchange of views. THE LATE JUSTICE LAMAR. I A largely attended meeting of the bar of the United States Supreme court was held in the court room this afternoon for the purpose of expressing the regret of the bar at the .death 01 tlie late Justice Lamar. Senator Vilas presided. Senar tors George, Waltha Mitchell, of Ore gon, and Representatives Catching and John Randolph Tucker (through his son, Representative Tucker, of Virginia) dehvered eulogies. Among the others present were Attorney General Olnev, Senator Hoar, Representatives Allen and Hooker, Jno. ; G. lilack. Solicitor General Aldrich, Ex-Senator Henderson, of Missouri, W. E. Earle, W. H.I Phillips and J. C. Bancroft Davis. The follow ing tribute presented by Senator George was adopted: "Resolved, that by the death of Mr. Justice Lamar the country loses a judge whose career on the bench, though brief .showed that he had a rare judicial mind, and tempered with great power of legal analysis and faculty of expressing himself in nervous English which lett no room lor misunderstand ing. His long service in public life fitted him to deal with great questions of con stitutional law which niake a seat upon the bench or tne supreme uourt so im portant and so responsible. He entered early into public service, and soon be came prominent. When the war ended no one was more conspicuous than he m his erxorta to allay distrust, to do away with division and coldness, and to produce throughout the union a feeling of confidence and good will. For this he labored and spoke in the Sen ate and with this ever before his eyes he administered the Department of the In terior. We offer this tribute to his mem ory with no wish to perform a mere per functory duty, over and aoove his in tellect, his trained facilities and his knowledge, his wit and his power, he was an affectionate, loving and lovable man, dear to ail wno Knew mm. tie is mourned not only by his friends but by many who had no personal acquaintance with him. .

He also cited the fact that all the precedents were oh their side, and intimated that in the debate tnat wouia certainly follow an attempt to reorgan ize, the .Republicans would mase some pertinent quotations from the Congres- sional record, i When asked, what pros peCt there was of success he replied that the opposition in the past had been suc cessful and that it would be none tlie less so this time. .

' CLEVELAND'S BIETTIDAT. ; President Cleveland was 58 years old to-dav arid he celebrated the occasion in he way he has passed neany very uay . , . . . . .. -. j since bis' induction into office. hours he was busy receiving a seemingly interminable line of office seekers, and their Congressional friends. These visi tors were in greater number than on any vi c v wua uajf uu wees auu ait inter mingling streamxif them passed through the Cabinet room to and from Mr. Cleve land's private office. It was 'even a more trying ordeal than usual, for the sparse attendance of the last few days held forth a promise of fewer callers hereaf ter. , - . - : .. THE NO REAPPOINTMENT RULE. The "no reappointment" rule was more clearly defined by Mr. Cleveland this morning. Among his calles was Rep resentative Springer with W. H. Hin richsen, Secretary of State of Illinois and Mr, Newell, member of the Illinois Senate. Mr. Hinrichsen in presenting the name of L. W. Chambers for the postmastership at Jacksonville, Ills., mentioned that Mr. Chambers had held the office under the former Democratic administration and when Mr Cleveland reminded him of the1-4 'no reappointment" rule, Mr. Hinrichsen cited tne fact that his candidate had-been removed from office by the Republicans before the experation of his term; that he was the unam metis choice of the people in Jack sonville and that he had been the best postmaster the town ever had.- In reply Mr. Cleveland said the fact that Mr. Chambers was so greatly endorsed put' a new phase on the matter and he sug gested that a statement of the case be sent him in a convenient form for refer ence. But the greater surprise; was yet to come to the three gentlemen from Illinois. Senator Newell presented the name of Thomas Cooper for reappoint ment to the office of collector of internal revenue for the Springfield district, but was promptly told by Mr. Cleveland that as there were several other candidates of ability for the position, Mr. Cooper's name could not be considered and he therefore begged Mr. Newell not to press his candidate's claim. Mr. Newell was somewhat taken aback at this firm decision of the President, but he asked if the fact that Mr. Cooper had held federal office before Would bar him from making application for, another federal position. The President answered in the negative and asked what other office Air. Cooper would like, vv hen Mr. Newell explained that Mr. Cooper con templated applying for Consul General ship to Mexico in the event that he failed to secure the collectorship, Mr. Cleve land advi'jed him to file Mr. Cooper's pa pers at once and added that Mr. Cooper's name would be given as much considera tion as any other candidate. It had been generally understood that no old office holdeis would, other than in exceptional cases, be appointed to any position with in the President's gift, but his remarks of this morning showed that this rule " does not hold so farinlv as was believed. Congressman McMillin, of Tennessee, brought J. N. McKinzie, candidate for marshal of the Fourth district of Tennes see, and Cr. ii. Murray, of Uainesvule, who wants to be district attorney for the same district. ,i At 1 o'clock Mr. Cleveland saw several hundred people in the East room. ' j (Washington Post.) HOW HE WILL FILL OFFICES. Mr. Cleveland of today is not the Mr. Cleveland of eight years ago. He is less of a novice in national politics than he was then. The number of his personal acquaintances has been widely extended. His knowledge of the political conditions in the various States is more thorough, and he proposes, Tlie Post learns from a reliable source, to now utilize this addi tional information in a manner that will be by no means pleasing to partyinen in Congress during the next four years. Democratic Senators and Kepresenta- tives are not again to have absolute con trol of official patronage in their States. Kecommendations sent to - tha- V bite House by private citizens who are known the President or by the Democrats holding State offices will have as ; much weight with the President as the indorse ments of United State Senators and Rep- resontatives in Congress. That this will be the policy of the Pres ident in selecting district attorneys, i lederal marshals,; and postmasters is already well understood by certain Dem ocrats not in official life, who, errjoy the President s confidence, andtne ot the appointments that will gQjo the Senate next week will, no doubtjfclearly dis close Mr. Cleveland's mtenuons. For example, both Democratic Sen ators from a Western State-liaye within the past few days made -formal protest against the appointment jofbne of their constituents to an unpoanJ; office, but the recommendation of atr ex-Governor of that State is sufficientrto overcome the Senatorial protest, and the. Western man m question will be appointed to the office he seeks, ihe late ot this nomination will be watched with interest when it reaches the Senate for confirmation, for the two Senators who made the protest may make it a test case to determine whether or not Mr. Cleveland's policy shall be upheld, k'-. ' ' it is not to be understood that the President desires to antagonize Senators and members, On the contrary, he wishes their support and co-operation throughout his administration and will endevor to meet their wishes whenever possible. But he refuses te subscribe to the theory that the naming of men for non-legislative offices belongs to them by a vested or acquired right, or that they should be the sole -judges of the fitness of applicants, t INCREASE OF FREE GOLD.

A GREAT DISASTER AVERTED BY HIS COURAGE, i i A Boy Finds a Dynamite Bomb With Lighted Fuse on the Steps of a JPublic Building- iu Rome He j Stamps Out the Burning Fuse and then Calls t he ; Police The Matter a J ' . Mystery. . j .. Rome, March 18. Following close up on the unsuccessful attempt to blow up the Ancini Matei palace, the residence of Hon.. William Potter, American Min ister to Italy, another dynamite outrage' was attempted to-day at the palazzo At tieri, headquarters of the Guardia Nobili, one of the military organizations whose duty it is to attend the Pope and to be present at great religious functions at the Vatican. Early this morning a boy passing the palazzo Attieri saw a mass of what he at first thought was mortar lying r.pon the steps pf the palace. With boyish curiosity, he ran up the steps and was surprised to see a burning fuze ex tending from the mass. The boy at once stamped out the fuse with his feet . and then notified the police. ; The gendarmes were at once sent to the palace and were not long in ascertaining that what the boy had first mistaken for a mass of mortar was a powerful bomb containing dynamite or other high explosive. The bomb was encased in a thick coating" of plaster of Paris, which in the opinion of the experts would have added to the de4 struction that would have been wrought had the explosion occurred. ; The Baptist Ceutenuial Celebration.

Massey obtained a change of venue to Bonham, where he i was tried yesterday. v hen he was brought into court yester day the husband of Mrs. Smith assaulted him with a knife, but was pulled awav before Massey was badly hurt.

It then became apparent to all that not only in the coriimission, but also in the plenary sitting of the Reichstag any bill was doomed. This means at the best a general election. '.The Government is doing its best to defer an appeal to the people who would be likely to return a parliament fully as much opposed to the bill as the present one, I besides electing many anti-Semitics and Social-Democrats, the bitter enemies of all decent parties. Even the Conservatives agree that Chancellor Caprivi- has been too unbending in his attitude to ward the parties, and ijt i3 believed that his arrogance will cost him his office. Twice during tha week he has boVne sharp reproof from the Emperor, who was especially chagrined by his Chancel lor's failure to close with von Bennigsen, who wasf willing to deliver forty votes of the Central Liberal party if the Chancel lor would abate his demands about the 15 per cent. News of this interview was whispered throughout the city Wednesday afternoon. Two hours after it took place the- withdrawal of the Army bill was believed to be assured and, despite the accompanying reports that Caprivi would resign, prices on the Bourse rose several points. - A conspicu ous street broker gave ia good index of the situation when he said that nothing would help prices of Gierman securities more than the immediate retreat- of Caprivi and his Army bill.

Asked What was the owest purse he would fight,for Corbett said: "We have two offers, one $75,000,:the others 80,000. Either would be acceptable. But I am not going to fiV;ht for any small amount. "The fight between MitcheU and my self," he said, "will be the first interna tional fight that has evei taken place in this country where people could sit down and see it as if they were in a theatre." Of Mitchell, Corbett, said: "I never saw him fight, but I know him to be shifty and tricky,- a hard hitter and a gooa general, uewm betne hrst man j. ever iougnt anywhere near my own weight. The fight between us will be a' hard one and is lmely to; last long. "Sullivan wiU never fight again. He's done and it's no use crying about it.
