Quite a party of ne-aper and, business men witnessed the -leresting event. Forty wheels were made. The plant is yery fine. All had been fully tested previous to to-day's casting. There has been a great air of mystery about the fusion nominee for the Supreme court. Mr, Butler confessed that he could not say anything. He told your correspond ent that if it was desired to . maintain any. sort of a reputation as a "forecaster not to say that W. A. Guthrie would be the man put np. . 7 ; This morning your correspondent met Hon. O. H. Dockery in the Capitol square, and asked him why there was so muchmys tery thus late in the campaign. Mr. Dock ery said: "Because it is necessary. To tell you the truth I am going up to Greensboro to-night, where we meet ;to arrange the ticket. We have asked for and want Guth rie put up. . Some want Bynum, of Greens boro. Some persons want another man." Your correspondent then asked who the "some persons" were; if they were the Pop ulist wing of the party. To this Mr. Dockery replied that he .would not say. So it appears that the ticket was not com pleted at what Mr. Dockery to-day called the "pow wow"i held here last Thursday. Mr. Dockery confessed that nothing gave him more pleasure than to "mystify the Democrats." He is evidently greatly iri favor of Guthrie. . The local sensation here to-day is the pub lication of cards in the News and Observer, signed by ex-Judge Spier Whitaker and Mr. William E.

The Demo cratic candidates for county offices and the candidates for solicitor of this district spoke here this evening to a large and attentive audience. Never has any man received such a cudgeling before an audience here as N. A. McLean, Esq., Democrat, gae H.r F. Sewell, Esq., Populist candidate for solicitor. At times the cheering was wild, as the orator nailed statement after statement as falsehoods and proved them such wih effective sarcasm. He asked Sewell if he was in favor of the Australian ballot, county government, Jim Young, the negro; sub-treasury, Government ownership, but he remained dumb. Sewell had twenty THE TRAIN ROBBERS.

The Fusion Judicial .Ticket. j Special to the Messenger. j Raligh. Oct. 20. Chairman Butler, of the Populists party, this afternoon sent your correspondent a proof sheet of the fusion iudicial ticket. This is as follows: For Chief Justice, W. T. Faircloth. of Wayne; for Associate Justices, Walter Clark of Wake, Day id M. Furches of Iredell, and Walter A. Montgomery of Wake; Judge of the Third district, W. S, O'B Robinson; Judge of the Fourth district,Edward Timber lake of Franklin; Judge ot the Eight dis trict, Albert S. Cable of Iredell; Judge of the Ninth district, Henry R. Starbuck of Forsyth; Judge of the Tenth district, Jacob W. Bowman of Mitchell; Judge of the Twelfth district, William Norwood of Hay wood: Solicitor of the First district, William J. Leary Sr., of Chowan. Montgomery, the new nominee for the Supreme court is a Democrat. . , the latter arose and asked Judge Hoffman to dismiss the habeas corpus proceedings, stating that requisition papers would be here to-night and Searcey had been advised by his attorneys to go to Virginia with the authorities and stand trial there. Judge Hoffman dismissed the habeas corpus pro ceedings and Searcey was taken back to the county jail where he will await the arrival of the "Virginia authorities and will go with them to Richmond, leaving here at 11 6' clock to-night. This morning Governor Brown, who is in Cumberland investigating alleged immorality and '. mismanagement in the" Western Maryland home and infirmary, received the following telegram from the Governor of Virginia: u - - Richmond, Va., Oct 19. - "Governor Frank Brown, of Maryland, Cum berland, Md. : 'Hay e just signed requisition papers for Searcey. Officer will leave here this morn ing at 7 o'clock for Cumberland with pa pers. " - ' ' Signedl Chas.T. O'Feerall, Governor." ; Governor Brown .will be here to-night and will sigh the requisition papers directly they are handed him on the arrival of the train at 8 o'clock. This settles the Searcey case in Cumberland , and the many detectiyes, express representatives and others who have been here all the week, will follow the suspect further South and endeavor to prove his guilt. Washington, -ct. u. jjocai detectives to-day profess to believe that Searcey, the ,man arrested at Cumberland for complicity in the Aquia Creek train robbery, and rMorganfield, the suspect held in Cincinnati, had nothing to do with the express robbery, but obtained the money found on them in a recent robbery in Baltimore. The officials of the Adams Express company differ and claiin that Searcey and Morganfield were with the Aquia Creek gang. To-day the express people received infor mation which showed that articles found on Searcey were taken from the express car. He had with him a number of bars of soap and the manifest of the goods in the car shotlr that soap similar to that-found in. his valiseLwas among the stolen goods. There is one thing the express officials do not , ex plain, however, and that is how Searcey. and Morganneld came m possession of so much silyer money, in view of the state ment of the express company . that there was no silver in the looted car. Cincinnati, Oct. 20. A morning paper publishes an elaborate statement holding that Morganfield was not in the Aquia Creek, Va., robbery, but that he and his pals, who are believed to be hiding about this city re cently, did another job equaily atrocious that will soon be developed. It is conceded that Morganfield and Searcey are partners, and were together at Washington, Cumber land and other places, but that Morgan field's gang was doing one job while Searcey's gang was doing another. It was claimed that this is the reason the city au thorities contested the action of Manager Fogg yesterday in trying to attach the $1,200 for the Adams Express company. All the authorities and detectives refuse to disclose the other job. j Pakkkesbueg, W. Va., Oct., 20. A one legged man, suspected of being the party, who is alleged to be associated "with the train robber Morganfield, has just ar rived here. He gives several names, and tells many different stories regarding where he is trom and where he is going. He is closely guarded while investigation of his identity is in progress. The Two Trot Against Each Other Directum no Match for the Mare, Who Breaks Nancy Hank' Record on the Mystic ; ; ' Track. Boston, Oct. 20. The long looked for bat tle between Alix and Directum took place this afternoon and Alix easily won. pp to last night the betting, if there was any choice, was in Directum' s favor. His work ing, however, has not been satisfactory and this morning the tide turned in favor Of Alix. Starting in at $100 to $90 in his f ayor, the odds increased, until just before the. race $100 to $60 was offered in favor of the mare. The conditions of the track and weather were perfect. ' I I Alix secured the pole. It took but one scoring to get a good send off, Alix having her nose slightly in the lead. To the! first turrTshe gradually left Directum until at the quarter there was a good three lengths between them. j After, passing the upper turn Directum appeared to be, closing up on the leader, but as they came down the navy Hospital gorps ITS ORGANIZATION STRONG iLY RECOMMENDED. ! stretch Alix had a lead of nearly i five lengths, which could not be lessened, t and she finished in a jog in 2:09. I In the second Alix came down the wire half a length ahead of Directum and they were sent Dack for another start. The next time they got a beautiful send off. When the word was given Alix shot ahead like a rocket leaving Directum in the rear so; far that he was never in the race during the beat. At the quarter she lead the stallion by fire lengths and there was no stopping her. To the half she kept pulling ahead and when that point was passed the mare was eight lengths to the front and Directum could not help himself. i . I After passing the three-quarters Alix ! was so far in the lead there were some fears of a distance for Directum, but McDowell kindly pulled up and Alix finished as she pleased with Directum six lengths behind j her time 2:16. - , ! After the horses had gone to the stable there were rumors that Directum had gone lame and sore, and that he would be with kirawn. This was soon confirmed by an an nouncement that the judges at the request of Mr. Salisbury, had, with a competent veterinary-surgeon examined Directum land found that he was utterly unfit to continue therace.

Stephen Williams, the negro who assaulted Mrs. Hardesty Wednesday, night and confessed, was taken from the county jail at 3 o'clock thlThloTaing aTTiThangear; The negro was captured shortly after the assault Wednesday night and identified by Mrs. Hardesty. He had a preliminary ex amination inside the jail yesterday.- Mrs. Hardesty testified that she and her adopted daughter, Rose Ridgeway, had retired on Wednesday night leaving the door unlocked, awaiting the return of her husband, who was at the store, a few hundred yards away. Between 9 and 10 o'clock she heard I the door open and saw the negro who inquired for Mr. Hardesty, saying he had a message for him. Mrs. Hardesty said her husband was down at the stable. The man there upon said: "I know where Mr. Hardesty is. It is not Mr. Hardesty I want: it is von." She ordered him away, but! he Good Effect of Strict!

Burgeon General Tryon, in his annual re port, points to the necessity of an organized : , hospitalcorpsinthe navy. The usefulness of such a corps has already been demon strated in the army and the attention that, is being paid to perfecting the system of all firstrclass naval powers is convincing proof -that immediate action should be taken in the matter in our own service. A central station on shore is advised to be used ex clusively for examining intended recruits, as far greater care is required in the selec tion of crews for the new cruisers than in the old ships, where, during long cruises under sail the men lived practically in the open air, and the men's physical conditions improved after enlistment. Now the con ditions are reversed and only those nearest perfect in body should be enlisted. The health of the squadron in the infected harbor of Rio de Janeirc during the recent troubles in Brazil affords convincing proof of the reliability of sani- tary rules, if carefully and closely fol lowed. .

On this tour too. the route lay through strongly Republican communities, whereas last week the Democratic strong holds were visited. " Leaving Fort Wayne at if o'clock this morning the first stop was at Columbia City where he addressed 2,000 people. At Laurel where the train stopped so that the venerable Alexander McNagney might greet the ex President, the speaking was limited to a few words, and at Peirceton, Gen.
