AN INTERESTINGrREPORT ON THIS INSTITUTION. The Bureau of Employment a Sue. ces A. Liady Robbed on the Street A Cocking Main Near Raleigh The Warren Roos- J ters Crowing Quiet at 1 James City A Cold; vXv' .Snap, ' Mbssengeb Bcbeau, ) . . 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.

The most vulnerable of the lot proved to be Man hattan, which broke 1H points to 148io and closed 'at 149.

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 on planes ananuisiaes.

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. i OUB DEPLETED TREASURY. ; The Treasury Department was advise4 this afternoon that during the day 1.,- 750,000 in gold had been withdrawn from the New York sub-treasury for shipment to Europe by steamers sailing to-morro w.

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.

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.

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. .

THE ARRIVAL OF THE BRIT- ISH FLEST AT NORFOLK. Five Cruisers, Headed by the Blake, ! the Most Perfect Specimen of Naval Arch itect ure Afloat, Sail ; Into Port Amid the Firing ' of Salutes From Fort i and Cruisers Cour- j tcsics Exchanged. i- 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 ,M 4" ' ft .-.-11 .-.I Ll'-MAn a1. T ..... T . . -T 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. Magnetic nervine quiets the nerves.Jdrives away bad dreams, and gives "quiet rest and peaceful sleep. - Sold at J..lf.
