Views.
Augusta, Ga., May 80. The Southern
inter State immigration congress opened
auspiciously in Augusta to-day. It was
called to order at noon in the grand
opera house by -President Bryan, of
Nashville, who introduced Mayor J. H
Alexander, of Augusta, who welcomed
the congress on the part of the city.
Mayor Alexander's speech was full of
interesting history about Augusta. It is
the oldest inland city in the South At
lantic States and was the second estate
lished by Oglethorpe. This city, ' before
the day of railroads being the farthest
inland city with river navigation to the
sea south of Virginia, was the point of
communication with the outer world of
all that territory embraced in Northern
Alabama, Eastern Tennessee, Western
North Carolina, Northern Georgia' and
South Carolina. Here all this vast sec
tion came in wagons to trade.
"I have been told by old citizens, who
saw with their own eyes" said the mayor,
"that in the fall and winter, it was not
uncommon to see our capacious Broad
street so closely packed with wagons
that one might step from one to another
for a mile or more. This city is men
tioned in contemporaneous history in
1740, five years after the settle
ment was planted, as already 'in a
state of great prosperity, well equipped
for trade, and conducting an -extensive
traffic throughout the vast and fruitful
tributary country. It was here that Eli.
Whitney conducted his experimental
works and in 1793 developed the cotton
gin, one of the most famous industrial
inventions of the world, which immedi
ately revolutionized the agricultural in
dustry of this section from- tobacco and
indigo to cotton as its staple crop. In
1800, seven years after Whitney's
gin appeared, Georgia a'one export
ed 7,000 bales. We have here the
oldest public journal in the South,
the Augusta, Chronicle, established
in 1785, and published continuously
since that date. We have the second
oldest completed railroad in the country
the South Carolina railroad, running
from Charleston to Augusta, and pro
ceded only by the Camden and Amboy
railroad in New Jersey.
Hon. Jos. R. Lamar, president of the
Young Men's Business league, of
Augusta, which secured the congress for
this city, welcomed the congress.
Governor Northen welcomed the con
gress on the part of Georgia and gave a
glowing picture of her progress and
thrift. He declared the readiness of
Georgia to welcome the industrious im
migrants who came to cast there lot
here.
Senator Patrick Walsh, whose home is
here, welcomed the congress and ex
tended them the privileges of the com
mercial club, of which he is president.
He said the assembling of thirteen South
ern States reminded him of that first
convention of the thirteen original States
to declare thier independence. The
present movement is to formulate plans
by which this most favored section
could enlarge its citizenship and work
out its material independence.
The responses to the addresses of wel
come B were made by Governor
McCorkle, Governor Carr of North Caro
lina, and Governor Tillman of South
Carolina. The latter declared that it
was well enough to invite people and
capital from the outside and all that
came would be welcome, but for every
dollar of outside capital the Southern
people must expend ten of their own if
thev were in earnest about desiring to
build up the South. The future of this
section depends, he said, on the efforts
of our own people, and what Southern
farmers need most is an lmigration of
ideas and intelligent agricultural
methods. Southern farmers would never
prosper as long as they spent six
months in the year trying to kill the
grass in their fields, and the next six in
buying hay from Maine and Northern
States. -
At the conclusion of the addresses of
welcome and the responses, President
Bryan addressed the congress. He ex
pressed the need for immigration in the
Southern states Dy contrasting me popu
lation per square mile of some of the
States as follows: Massachusetts, 287;
Kentucky, which is the most densely
populated of the Southern States, 45;
Rhode Island, 264; Texas, 8. He showed
the material advance which, has taken
place in the South and called attention
to the fact that educational advantages
were keeping pace, the increase having
been 100 per cent, in the past decade, the
appropriations by Southern States for
this purpose last year being over f 16,
000.000. The total value of school prop
erty in the South is $10,000,000: the !
number of teachers 84,000, white pupils
2,250,000, negroes 1,250,000, pupils in
private schools, 300,000, in parochial
schools 40,000. He thought the time was
ripe for the immigration movement in
the South and believed that by patriotic
and united efforts of the present intel
ligent men' composing the congress,
some wise and practical plan would be
adopted.
At the afternoon session the perma
nent organization was effected by the
re-election of President M. T. Bryan of
Tennessee, and Secretary IS. b. iuuot ot
Florida. It was decided that each State
reported should vote according to its
vote in the electorial college and each
territory have one vote.
The credentials committee reported as
represented in the congress the following
States and territories; Alabama, Arkan
sas, District of Columbia, Florida,
Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Missis
sippi; North Carolina, South Carolina,
TennesseeVirginia, West Virginia, and
Texas, also the leading railroad systems
of the South.
, To a committee on resolutions will be
referred without debate all resolutions
offered. It is composed of four from
the congress at large and one from each
State and Territory.
All details of organization and the
order of business haying been gotten
through to day, the congress win negin
on its nractical work to-morrow, J ust
what linn nf option will be taken no
bodv seems vet to know. There appears
to be no pre-conceived scheme to carry
out. Everybody seems to be at the point
where he believes the time is ripe for a
concerted movement in the interest of
Southern immigration, and to believe
that it is a good thing to undertake, but
iust how it is to be done is yet to be de-
twined byjSecommite-' .

attendant 'on the unveiling of the
monument to the private ' soldiers and
sailors i Of the Confederacy passed off
without a hitch,; ' notwithstanding the
fact that quite a heavy rain fell during
almost the whole time of the rendition
ofthe programme at the monument. The
parade of " military commands and Con
federate veterans was the finest ever seen
here, with the exception of that at the
time of the Lee monument unyeiling. It
was an hour and a quarter in passing a
given point. ' " 1.
A notable feature of the parade was a
body.of several hundred children dressed
in the Confederate colors red, white
anded, These headed the line. The
number of- veterans was as great prob
ably as at the Lee monument unveiling,
arid the presence . in the ranks of Gens.
Wade Hampton, titz Lee and other he
roes of the "Lost Cause," was the occa
sion ot enthusiastic cheering all along;
the line of march.
The city was crowded with visitors
from other points in Virginia and South
ern. States, the number being conserva
tively estimated at 25,000. The Mary
land delegation of veterans, headed by
Gen. Bradley T. Johnson, was large and
imposing. That from Washington City
was also conspicious in the parade. A
delegation from Charleston carried
branches of palmetto in their hands.
North Carolina was represented by Adjt.
Gen. Cameron and several companies of
the State Guard, and South Carolina by
several companies of State troops. The
Virginia volunteers made a remarkable
fine showing. No mishap save that for
which the weather clerk is responsible,
occurred to mar the pleasure of the oc
casion. c - 1 : " : -
To-night camp fires and social- re
union are the order, and the city is aliye
with the strains of music from military
bands serenading here and there.
Business was almost entirely suspended
during the day, the banks, exchanges
and State and municipal offices being
closed. Almost without exception, the
houses on the line of march were pro
fusely decorated, mainly with the Con
federate and Virginia colors,' so that the
parade was through lanes of bunting.
"Old Glory" was by no means absent,
however, being often inter-twined with
other colors and flying from almost every
flagstaff . -
At the monument the programme was
carried out as arranged. Mr. D. C.
Richardson, president of the monument
association, tilled the post of chairman
with abiuty and modesty, There was a
prayer by Rev. Dr. Hoge. Mr. A. C.
Gordon read his poem written for th.2
occasion, and the Kev. sir. Cave, of St.
Louis, then made the address of the day.
On the conclusion of the address the
veil was withdrawn by a little boy and a
little girl, representing respectively the
army and the navy, and there was a
salute by artillery and infantry lasting
some minutes and wakening the echoes
of the James as of yore.
Coxeyites Decorate the Peace Monu-
' ment.
Washington, May 30. Coxey's rag
ged army of tramps, reinforced by the
150 men under Gen, Galvin, who arrived
at the Coxey camp yesterday, marched
into town this morning-and decorated
the Peace monument, on Pennsylvania
avenue at the western end of the Capitol
grounds, with wreaths of -evergreen and
wild flowers. The army, -under the
command of Jesse A. Coxey, formed at
Camp Bastile, as their present place of
location near Bladensburg is called by
them, at 7 o'clock this morning and pro
ceeded to the city, via. the Washington
and Baltimore turnpike, to Maryland
avenue, N.E., to E street N.W., to Penn
sylvania avenue, to Peace monument,
and returned by the same route. This
route led through side streets only and
the main avenues of the city
were not paraded. The procession was
met at" Maryland avenue junction by a
committee of Washington Coxeyites,
principally colored, who acted as escort.
The authorities of the city, in anticipa
tion of a demonstration by the Common'
wealers, had cautiously stationed fifty
policemen and four patrol wagons near
the monument, but everything went off
in the rno6t orderly manner possible. As
the "army marched around the monu
ment, giving three cheers each for Wash
ingtoh, Lincoln and other great Ameri
can patriots, the half dozen ladies who
were in hne, tossed the floral offerings
upon the sides of the bunting-clad mon
ument. Immediately after the simple
ceremony the army marched back to
Camp Bastile without any demonstration
of popular interest in the proceedings.
"Wreck of an Excursion Train. -
Macon, Ga., May 30. The rear coach
of a train on the Albany and. Columbia
branch of the Southwestern railroad, a
division of the Central of Georgia, was
overturned by a" broken - rail at Holts
this morning and forty people were in-
lniured, two or three of whom will, in
all probability, die from their injuries
The train consisted of six -coaches loaded
with excursionists from Andersonville to
attend decoration day exercises at the
National cemetery. Those tataiiy in
jured are John Smith, of Bluffton; Andy
Jones, of Edison, and Mrs. .Little, of
Hillton, Ga. .None of the others are
thought to be seriously injured. About
1.000 people were on the train, each
coach being crowded almost to suffoca
tion. - The coach rolled down a steep
embankment and it is a miracle that
many were not killed outright, as it con
tained over 100 people, many of whom
were standing at the time of the acci
dent. Owing to the locality of the wreck
full particulars cannot be gained until
later. . , -

Gen. Rosser Expresses His Views at
Confederate Veterans Meeting-
Opposed to Federal Pensions
Opposition to the Grand
Army. '
' Richmond, Va., May 30. At a reunion
of Confederate veteran cavalry here
to-day, Gen. Thomas L. Rosser was one
of the speakers, and he said in part:
. "Comrades: When you marched out
in '61 you were buoyed by hope of the
future. Now you have only the memory
of. the lost. . The great principles for
which we fought- have ) been dis
honored, ; but they are not ; dead.
We are now only an ambulance
corps,' But we are here to-day
to do honor to the men who fell, for we
love their memory as we love our God.
The men who Overran us remind me of
the locusts which are now infesting por
tions of this State. They could not whip !
us, dug tney devoured our substance.
The army that devoured us was an army
of substitutes. We killed all the substi
tutes and the men whom they represented
stopped at home and made money and
now draw pensions. I despise the man
who gives United States money to a
pensioner. This country cannot stand
when it makes one citizen support an
other. , A shall never vote fof a Congress
man who is in favor of Government pen
sions. I would say to Massachusetts, you
pay your pensions as Virginia pays hers.
- Gen. Rosser then went on to say that
the Grand Army of the ReDubhc was
banded together to get pensions and if
he had been at Birmingham he would
have voted against the proposition to in
vite them to Atlanta. He did not want
them to come to Richmond. "Some
time ago," he concluded, "we unveiled a
monument to the greatest general who
ever lived, to day we unveil a monument
to the greatest private soldiers who ever
lived, and in time we will unveil a mon
ument to the President of the Confed
eracy. But we are mocked at the North.
and win live to see the Yankee army
march again through the South and pull
down our monuments. I don't know
what sort of stuff the rising generation
are made of, but if you and I are living
there will be bloodshed when that ' is
done." -"
WRECKED AND BURNED.
A Fearful Railway Disaster Four
People Killed Other Bodies Sup
posed to be Under the
Wreckage
Milwaukee, May 30. The general
manager of the Wisconsin Central rail
road has given the press this statement
of the cause of to-day's accident on his
road.
"Train No. 4, the through train leav
ing St. Paul at 7:25 o'clock p. .m. for
Chicago and Milwaukee, was wrecked at
1:15 o'clock a. m. at Manville, the first
station north of Marshfield. The split
switch of the passing track had been
tampered with, allowing the wheels of
the locomotive to catch the point. The
engine and all the cars in the train, ex
cept tne rear sleeper and business car,
left the track. All the cars were burned
except the rear sleeper and the business
car.
After leaving the track the train plow
ed along over the ties for a distance of
ten rods and then toppled and rolled
over, the engine and tender going into
the ditch and the cars piling on top of
each other. All were soon set on fire
from the stoves. From out of this tan
gied mass men and women who were
lucky enough not to be pinned down,
crawled.many making wonderful escapes
The oodies of Kussell and Jud. Bigelow,
who were caught in the timbers, were
not recovered until 7 o clock this morn
ing and were burned to a crisp. As near
as can be ascertained, about fifty passen
gers were on the train.
Under the direction of District Super
intendent Horn, who happened to be on
the northbound passenger, a special train
was fitted up and left here for Stevens
Point at 7 o'clock, bearing the remains
of Engineer Hubbard, Fireman Gebhart
and Russell and the passengers. The
injured who are distributed among the
different hotels, it is thought, will re
cover, except, perhaps unester, or Marsh
field. Except the four or five passen
gers and two train men who are missing
and believedjto be in the wrecked coaches,
the following is as complete a
list of the dead 'and wounded
as can be obtained at 1 o'clock:
Killed James Hubbard, engineer:
Geo. Gebhart, fireman; Jud Bigelow,
brakeman; Mr. Russell, a civil engineer
in the employ of the company; an aged
man and woman, name unknown,
burned in the ruins. It is said they were
not on the train at St. Paul. Injured
Henry Chester, legs and spine badly in
ured O. W. Boseley, news agent, ln
lured internally; Arthur Turnice, head
cut and otherwise injured, will recover;
John ;Bigelow, head broken; Dr.
Weilsot, hurt internally; Fannie Burtel,
hand badly, cut; Wm. Ryan, ribs broken
and head cut; E. A. Twichell, attorney
at law, Minneapolis, head cut.
The City of New Orleans
nnt. T.ii.rlf"
New Orleans, May 80. The
Italian
cases against the city of New Orleans for
damages, resulting from the death of the
Italians in the parish prison assault on
Marclrli, 1891, were decided in the
United States Court of Appeals. By
agreement the case of Abbagnetti was
to be a test case in the appellate court,
deciding: the results m the other stuts.
In the lower courts, as it will be re
membered, the jury returned a verdict
for the plaintiff in the case of Abbag
netti allowing $5,000 damages. Verdicts
were also returned in a number of suits
ranging from 1,500 to $5,000. Then the
city entered a plea of no cause of action,
which was argued for three or more
days before Judge Parlange. Judge Par
lange decided that there was no cause
for action, in a lengthy but interesting
opinion.
The decision of Judge Jrarlange was
sustained, the court holding that munici
pal corporations of this State are not
liable for any damage done by mobs or
riotous assemblages, except for damage
to property. Judge Pardee rendered! the
decision. Judges McCormick and Jjocke
concurring.

t
At the State museum this morning
Mr. Brimley showed your correspondent
a soft-shell or leather-backed turtle. It
is known as the aspidonectes or spinifer
turtle. It was caught yesterday with a
trot line out at Miiburnie, six miles from
Raleigh, in Neuse river. His turtteship
weighed sixteen pounds. Itsshellis as
pliable as sole leather and the edges of
the shell are perfectly smooth. Its head
is very sharply pointed. It is the first
specimen ever found so far South. -
To-day is Federal Decoration day. and
the usual services will be observed at
the Federal cemetery, under the direc
tion of the Gen. Meade Post, Grand Army
of the Republic. There will be special
singing and Mr. Forest will recite some
appropriate selections. Mr. Elsie is the
present keeper of the cemetery, Mr. D.
L. Schively, who had the cemetery in
charge several years ago, died last night
at his home here. . He was 56 years old.
He will be buried in the Federal ceme
tery at 4 o'clock. His parents live in
Washington, D. C, and his father and
brother-in-law" are the owners of the
Turkish bathing -rooms in Washington,
D, C, which are the largest Turkish
baths m the world. -
Mr. J. R. Watts is here in the interest
of the new handsomely illustrated hand
book of Kaleigb, and it will now very
soon be issued.
The Baptist excursion, which iroes to
Wilmington June 5th and which goes in
two trains, one by Goldsboro and one by
ttamiet, will each have nine passenger
coaches. 'They expect and will surely
meet with a cordial welcome from the
people of Wilmington. '
rie yenue orhcers are here over-hauling
the , barrooms; to be sure, there is no
illicit whiskey in them.
The "Gentlemen's Driving club of
Raleigh" held a meeting last night and
decided to have a fine series of races in
the near future at the fine Fair View
race track. ..
The outlook for the attendance at the
Agricultural and Mechanical college in
September is so encouraging that an
annex is being built to the mechanical
building and a large twenty-four room
dormitory will be built during the sum
mer. The members of the Agricultural
society of the college have just finished
furnishing their new hall, and they are
delighted with the result.
There is an urgent call for the forma'
tion here of a society for the prevention
of cruelty to animals, and it is hoped
there will be a large meeting at the ap
pointed place to-morrow.
Ihe concert last night at Peace Insti
tute was a brilliant success. Professor
Schneider proved himself quite a success
as a teacber,and,beside8,it was proved that
he was a popular teacher with his pu
pils, for the music class at the close of
the concert presented him with a very
handsome gold-headed cane, as a token
of their regard for him. The class se
lected Miss Cly burn to presentthe cane,
which she did modestly and gracefully.
Little Miss Daisy Moring, of Raleigh.
who is just 13 years old, took the gold
rnedal awarded for penmanship.
