. . Raleigh. April 17. f
Your correspondent paid a visit to the
penitentiary Saturday and found it tt
very quiet place Indeed. There used to
be hundreds of conticts within the great
enclosure; now there- are only 101." Of
these fifty are in for Ijfe. 'Some time
ago some life prisoners were worked out
side the prison, Jbufr this is not. now al
lowed. There are fifty female convicts,of
whom nineteen are kept in the prison,
the others being on the (arms. The con
victs in the penitentiary make all the
clothing worn by all; the prisoners, 1,100
in number. They make all the wagons
and wheelbarrows used on the farms.
There is a very finegarden just outside
the great southern1 wall of the prison,
where an ample supply of vegetables is
raised. This garden joins the cemetery
in which for twenty-five years convicts
have been buried, and several hundred
little wooden .headstones whiten the
ground. The Convicts have in former
years made a great many brick, but this
year no work in this line is being done.
There is a large-supply of brick in the
kilns. The shoes for all the convicts are
made .in--.the prison, though the fac
tory which used to make shoes for sale
is no longer operated. There are wash
ing machines and all the washine for the
students of the Agricultural and Mechan
ical college is done. The cloth used for
summer wear.by the convicts is made by
the Pee Dee Manufacturine compfjiv:
that for winter wear being furnished hv
jaiineiser oc lk., oi xticnmona, va.
Many improvements have been made at
the grounds "bf the prison. .Rubbish has J
been cleared away, the rough sheds re
moved and the place made tidy .' Stone
cutting, which once employed so many
men, is no longer done. , After a time
the wooden stockade in front of the
building will be removed and the grounds
opened. The big buildings are even yet
not quite complete. Cell tiers are not
built in the west wins:, which may all be
used for workshops. It is only a ques
tion of time when manufacturing will
be done inside the prison. It will not
require a great expenditure to prepare
for it. One of the odd things in the en
closure is a log building, now used as
stables, in which the convicts lived while
they were constructing their more sub
stantial and imposing residence, of brick,
stone and iron.
Mr. B. R. Lacy, labor commissioner,
tells me that he is much pleased with
the success of the employment bureau
which he established in connection with
the labor bureau He has obtained sit
uations for one-fifth of the applicants.
baturday night a white woman here
was, while walking on a prominent
street, robbed of her pocketbook. - The
thief was a negro who walked up behind
her and seizing her arm snatched the
purse. A negro woman was watching
the negro and identified him. He was
arrested yesterday and to-day was sent
to jail.
There was no additional news at tne
Executive Department to-day regarding
matters at James City. No letters re
garding it were received. Notice of
Sheriff Lane's formal demand upou the
negroes to vacate the property was re
ceived here only through tne newspa
pors. Interest in the matter is now re
awakened. Only the local sports knew of a cock
ing main near here two or three days
ago, between Warren county and South
Carolina birds. Old Warren again tri
umphed. Cock fighting is no longer re
garded as a sport fit this State. Qcca
sionly a little "scrap" of this kind is
arranged, but it is Kept mignty quiet.

hf correspondents show that the per
centage of condition of wheat is very
high indeed.. &ost reports snow iw per

Devastating Earthquake Shocks. .
Athens, April 17. The island of Zante,
one of the principal Jonian islands, was
visited by a most destructive earthquake
this morning, resulting in great loss of.
life and property, i In February and
March last the island sustained a - vast
amount of damage by seismic distur
bance, and a large number of lives were
lost, lhe shock this morning appears
" have been most violent in the city of
Zante, the greater part of which was de
stroyed. The people were panic stricken
and the authorities were helpless. The
streets were impassable, being filled with
masses of stone and timber, wreckage of
the houses which were thrown down by
the earthquake. Thus far the bodies of
twenty persons killed, by falling walls,
have been removed from the debris. It
is feared many .more dead are still in the
ruins. "The number of persons "injured
runs up to the hundreds. The greatest
portion of the inhabitants have ned to
the plains back of the city where they
wander about in a destracted manner,
bewailing the loss of their homes and
property.
The shock occurred at 7 u o ciock a.
m. Most oi the buildings that stood
erect after the shocks of February -and
March were-either thrown down or shat
tered so as to be unsafe for occupancy.
The church of St. Dionysius and the
Government offices were thrown down.
Advices from the interior show that the
whole island was devastated. Many vil-
ages were destroyed. It is thought the
loss of life is very great.
Since 7;S0 o clock tms morning two
more heavy shocks have smvxen tne
whole island of Zante, Thousands pf
people are without shelter, and few have
sufficient food. The British Minister
Resident has telegraphed to the British
Foreign ofhee a request for warships to
be sent at once to Zante with men and
building material that temporary sheds
may be erected for the shelterless at once

AN. IMPORTANT RAILRO AD DECISION.
Bva decision of the Sunrpine Court of
the United States, rendered to-day in ah
opinion read by Justice Brewer, Secre
tary Hoke Smith has scored another suc
cess in one of his railroad damage cases,
the prosecution of which made him fa
mous even before he was called into
President Cleveland's Cabinet. It was
in the case of the heirs of W. D. Powers
vs. the Richmond and Danville Railroad
company, : appealed irom the Circuit
court for the Northern district of Geor
gia. Powers was run over and killed at
ula, Ga., April 11, 188b, by a train be
longing to the defendant company. On
the trial of the case below, which
resulted in a judgment for $9,800
against the railroad, the company s
counsel asked the court to instruct the
jury that Powers was guilty of such con
tributory negligence as to prevent recov
ery. This the court declined to do and
the company appealed, and the supreme
court of the United States affirmed the
judgment on the ground that the ques
tion of contributory negligence was one
of fact for the jury to determine, and not
of law for the court.

A QUEER . RAILROAD TRAIN
The "John Bull Train," Composed of
the' Oldest Locomotive and Cars
in the United . States Starts
from New York, for Chicago. -
New York, April 17. The queerest
railroad train that has been seen in
many a long year drew out of the Penn
sylvania depot at Jersey City at 10:16
o'clock this morning amid the cheers of
a big crowd of curiosity seekers. The
train consisted of engine No. 1 of the
Pennsylvaniajrailway and cars Nos. 3
and 5. Engine No. 1 of the Pennsyl
vania roads is also engine No. 1 of the
United States,being the first railway loco
motive used on This, side of the Atlantic.
It, has been am ng the curiosities
in the National museum at Washington
several vears and was recently refitted
for this duty. It is called John Bull and
started this morning to puff it3Myay
laboriously to the World's Fair,,
where it will be - an "bbject of
wonder to millions. John Bull shows
no sign of his great ge except his an
tique construction. . He is painted and
polished so that he shines as fair as the
latest born of modern locomotives. The
coaches look hke stage coaches on rail-:
The train is manned by veteran rail
roaders. Conductor W. T. Bailey has
been a passenger conductor since 1859.
Brakemen Jonah Hogar and Thoa. Gal
lagher were brakemen- in 1849. Engine
Driver A. S. Herbert drove the John
Bull in 1852. J. W. Sanford, the fire
man, was such in 1835. : Car In
spector D. H. Baker, who goes
along, has been foreman of -the Jersey
City car shops since 1849. Acting Assist
ant Superintendent Jas. R. .Srmth, who
directs the running of the train, has also
been a railroad man over fifty years.
' It is expected that the John Bull train
will carry some distinguished passengers.
The passengers this morning were allj
railway officials. They included General,
oupermtenaeni; r. v. jaciison, trenerai
Passenger Agent Geo. W. Boyd and Gen
eral Passenger Trainmaster E. T. Man
der, who will go clear through toX'hi
cago. The train will spend a week on
the road.
The Situation in Servia. , ,
Belgrade, April 17. Trouble has al
ready begun for the ex-Regents Ristitch
and Belimarkovitch and their late Ministry.,-
The,New Government, as a result
of the investigations already made con
cerning the finances of the country since
Alexander acquired power by the coup d'
etat of last Thursday night, has made a
demand that the ex-Regents and ex
Ministera shall reimburse the Govern
ment for the sum of 2400,000" dinars or
francs, misappropriated during the re
gency under the pretext of having been
used in the secret service of the State.
The general acquiescence, if not ap
proval with which King Alexander's
coup (Tetatwas hailed, lias already been
interrupted. The Lilerals have gathered
courage since Thursday night and now
apparently propose-to excite the people
against the Government. The Liberals
have issued manifestos m which they de
scribe the new Ministry, composed of M.
Dokitch and his colleagues, appointed
by King Alexander since he seized royal
authority, as usurpers of political power
and as having incited the King to the
coup d'etat in violation of the constitu
tion and laws of beryia. lhe Liberals
state that they make their stand upon
the rights of the people, which they
claim have been outraged and ignored
by the alleged usurpation. .

Fortress Monroe,-Va., April 17. At 8
o'clock this morning five of England'sbig
war ships, headed by the flagship Blake
flying the pennant of one of her vice
admiral came majestically into "the
Roads from Lynn Haven bay where
they had anchored overnight, let go as
many bow anchoTTand firedUhe custom
ary salutes. They are as-follows: The
Blake, armored cruiser of 9,000 tons; Au
stralia, armored cruiser of 5,600 tons;
Magicienne, protected cruiser of 2,950
tons; .Tartar, partially protected crui
ser of 1,770 tons, and the Part
ridge, partially protected cruisef of
755 tons The Blake .is" of 20,000 horse
power, and much the largest in this re
spect of any that will take part in the
manouvers, domestic or foreign.
Before 8 o'clock this, morning Col.
Frank, commander of the arniv post, was
informed by Admiral Gherardi that the
British vessels were coming up from the
Capes and that they would be along in
an hour.i This was notification to stand
by to salute the visitors after they had
fired twenty-one guns in honor of the
American colors, and the fort was
prompt in doing this. The fashionable
set was ruthlessly awakened by
thisterrific bombardment and the
reverberation of the mighty guns of the
ciaKe and the answers that came quickly
back from the-post and flagship Phila
delphia, i Hardljrhad-the dense curls of
white smoke disappeared from the muz
zles of the guns when thQ Blake started

Italian flags of her distinguished esteem
and consideration by saluting tliecom
manding officers of the four vessels with
the number of guns due their rank. Dur
ing these ceremonies the flags on all the
ships were constantly changing from one
country to another, and to an on-looker
it was apparent that if there ever existed
any ill feeling between Russia, England
and France, there were little remnants
of it left. v-
The appearance these fine crack shins
of the Queen's navy presented, as they
moved majestically ovfcr the water and
past the outer end of our fleet to the an
chorage: grounds designated them bv
Admiral Gherardi, was one of the pret
tiest sights ever seen here. At the head
of the fleet was the big armored cruiser
blake, a counterpart of our own-ship,
the New York, heavily armored and the
most formidable ship that will be in the
review. I In her wake was the protected
cruiser Magicienne and behind her came
tne monster armored cruiser Australia
with her sides fairly toothed with fierce
looking high power guns. Riding grace
fully next was the cruiser Tartar, and
in the rear was the little ; barken
tine . rigged cruiser Partridge. - In
perfect I fine they sailed in with
signals flying from their top and yard
arms and flags of the country floating
d.'iumtjy from the taffrails of each
sliip. At the masthead of the Blake was
the pennant of -vice Admiral JvG. Hop
kins, K. C. B., commander in-chief of
the fleet, and upon the signal halyards
were combinations of vpllow and wln'ti
signals to the ships behind her. Sweep
ingby the fleet, the Blake slowed down
just as she passed the Newark, and when
abreast of the Philadelpliia. the signal
was displayed to the other ships to an
chor. : As quickly as the signal was seen
just as quickly were five bow anchors
seen to splash the waters into foam and
the deep rumbling of chains could be
heard as forty fathoms ran through the
hawse pipes. With' the flood tide all five
ships promptly swung around with their
ing a line extending a mile out. 7 Firing
commenced and was kept up incessant
ly for half an hour.
At 11 o clock Admiral Hopkins nut on
his cocked hat, buckled his sword on,
and embarking in his gig. was pulled
over to the Philadelphia where he saw
Admiral Uherardi, heard fifteen guns
fired off in his honor and then departed
to his own vessel to get ready to receive
our commander-in-chief.- who went
through the a me preparation and had
the same number of guns discharged for
his benent. lhese, courtesies laving been
exchanged, the noise was suspended f or
one hour. '-- -
Later, m the day "Admiral-nopkius
called on CqJ. Frank and was received
as became one of his rank. - Col
k rank returned the call and the Blake
was again called upon to' honor an ofii
cialof our-country. i
The weather continues perfect. " The
sky is as clear as a May. day and the
water smooth lor the Koads. ' Barges.
steam launches and gigs were nlving
constantly to the ships carry in" those
anxious to see the now arrivals. As
every new ship arrives the attention of
the ladies changes temporarily to her of
ficers, and toilay it would seem that the
Britishers are to the front.
The Dutch frigate von Speyk arrived
late this evening and anchored in the
Roads.
