- A r
weather giyen the State fair, for it was
simply perfect. A The esulfc was the
largest attendance on record at an open
lus uay ine incoming trains were all
well fi lied with visi tors. All who see the
fair agree in declaring the exhibition the
be3t ever made. Indeed it deserves, that
praise. ; - ' . .
ine procession, under the direction of
Chief Marshal James H. Holt, went out
to the grounds jost before 11 o'clock this
morning. Governor Carr. formally
opened the thirty-forth annual fair, in a
pleasant ashion. Afterwards an ad
dress was delivered by Dr. J. L. M.
Curry, agent of the -Peabody fund,
and several hundred children of
the. city's public schools sang 'The
Old North State," Governor Carr wes
introduced by Cd. Julian S. Carr,
president of . the fair. The latter is
greatly pleased with the great success
of the fair, and-Governor Carr took ac
casion to compliment it warmly.
The show of horses, cattle and sheep
is grand. Not only are there exhibitors
from all parts of the State, but there are
Messrs. Sharpe of Ohio, Benninger and
Crjft of Pennsylvania and Dr. Davidson
of New York. There are oyer 200 horses
at the grounds. George Vanderbilt
shows some particularly fine cattle from
his Biltmore farm.- H13 farm manager,
Baron d'AIinge, is here. Alt sorts of
cattle, of the choicest breeds, some of
them imported, are on view. There is
always a crowd at this part of the ex
hibit, j
The entries aggregate over 2 000. No
one can say after this year that there is
any lack of interest in the State fair or
any falliog off in the quality of exhibits.
The farm products are all the best to be
had. The special displays by noted
farms are a j feature of much promi
nence. There are all sorts of amuse
ments in the grounds, but no gambling
or "skin games."
; , Among the callers at the Executive
office early this morning was the vener
able Col. Edward D.-Hall, who com
mands the Confederate veterans in this
State. The annual reunion of veterans
and election! of officers will be held
Thursday at the fair grounds. It was
there that the association was formed
during the exposition of 1891.v "
Rev. Dr. Eugene Daniel and Mr. B. R.
Harding left here to-day as delegates to
th9 North Carolina Presbyterian Synod
which met this evening at Greensboro.
The Warrenton company, formerly
CopanyF., First regiment of the State
Guard, has been mustered out of the
service for failure to come up to the re
quirements of the regulations, and the
property in its possession was to-day re
turned to the State arsenal.
Col. T. B. Keogh, whef some months
ago left Greensboro wich his family, has
returned, and they will again live there.
He finds that ther is no place like North
Carolina. It is said he wants to be a
Republican candidate for United States
Senator.
Mr, John C. Scarborough, State super
intendent of public instruction, tells me
that he. had large audiences at his five
public speeches in Caswell county last
week. He says that interest in public
education is aroused there; that the com
missioners are holding up the hands of
the county superintendent and that
better results may be hoped for. .
In the liall of the House of Representa
tives this evening there was an educa-.
tional conference, which was well at
tended. The subject for discussion was
"Local Taxation for Public Schools,"
divided as follows: "Importance of Pub
lic Schools in North Carolina," by Prof.
E. A. Alderman, of the State university;
"How the States Have Built Up Their
Public School Systems," by ProfeesorE.
P. Mose3; ?'The Progress of Local Taxa
tion in the South,", by Prof. L. L. Hobbs,
of Guilford college; "Needed Legisla
tion to Provide for Local Schools," by
Mef srs. John C. Scarborough and Walter
Clark. , A general discussion followed in
five-minute speeches.
The social event of the day here was
the wedding at Christ church this even
ing at 9 o'clock, the contracting parties
being Maj. S. F. Telfair, Governor Cart's
private secretary, and Miss Mildred Bad
ger. The church was filled, the audience
being an extremely fashionable one.
Miss Mabel Hale was maid-of -honor, the
bridesmaids being Misses Tempe Hamil
ton and Marian Hamilton, of Baltimore,
Sadie Wis well of Washington, N. C;
Lalla Raney of Kittrell, Kate Prescott of
Weldon, and Martha Haywood, Janet
Badger and Kate Badger of Raleigh., Mr.
John Th. Pryor was best man and' the
groomsmen Were Messrs. Robert L. Holt,
N. F. Alston, W. M. McQehee, G. F. Tay
loe, R. B. Raney, A. J. Pemberton. T. M.
Hdlt, Jr., and James S. McAllister. The
usher were Messrs. Alfred Williams, Jr. ,
Henry: Miller, J. M. Ayer and Henry
King. The ceremony was performed by
Rev. Dr. M. M. Marshall? the rector of
the church, assisted by Rev. Mr. Gilreath
and by Rev. Dr. Nathaniel Harding of
Washington. N. C. After the wedding
there was a reception at the home of the
bride's mother. Mr. and-Mrs. Telfair
left to night for New York. They are
extremely popular and well know all
pver the State, j
The campaign is very lively just now,
and ft it passes without a few fights some
of the pt&pbets are badly mistaken. ;
Therejis very considerable surprise
among Democrats at Mr. Wajter A,
Montgomery's acceptance of the fusion
nomination f oithe .Supreme court.
Thee will be a double ticket by the
Fusionists. This is donp in carrying put
what they term "co-operation " Of
course, the names on the tickets the Pope
ulists and the Republicans issue will be
identical. I v
The Capital blub, last evening, gave a
dance at its assembly room, in compllr
mentjtp Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Batchelor.
Thefirst car wheels made here were
to-day put orr-exhibition at the fair.
The finest firm exhibit ever made at

Chicago, Oct. 23. Dullness
supreme in all the speculative markets
on the board of trade to-dav. A few
minutes of moderate activity marked
ihe close, but the trade at that time was
mainly due to a desire on the -part of
shorts to cover their outstanding con
tracts, urged, possibly , by some sales of
cash corn, which influenced the other
grains, more especially the future de
liveries. - In wheat the trade was light
and of little conseauence. the crowd
holding off all morning in anticipation
of Bradstreefs report on the world's visi
ble supply, but failing to exert them
selves even after it became public.
December. wheat opened from 52fcto52f
to 52c, sold between 521 and 52 to 53c,
closing at the outside, a shade .over
yesterday. Cash wheat was easier, sales
averaging Jc lower. i . ,
Some energy was imparted to corn
during the closing quarter of an hour by
reported sale of 250,000 bushels for ship
ment, some of it said to be for direct ex
port. Previous to that time-the business
dragged and prices merely held steady at
a tiifling loss made at the opening. May
corn opened at 49fc, sold between 49 1
and 50c, closing at 50ic, a fraction
higher than yesterday.! Cash corn was
ic lower -during the active trading hours,
the nominal close being strong.
' Oats mirrored the inactivity and easy
tone of the other markets, closing firm
like them, but with no change from yes
terday in prices. The range was narrow
and very little interest was taken in the
trade. Cash oats were J to ic lower,
white grades showing the greatest weak
ness.' - .il
The offer in es of product were not
large, but they were greater than the de-
mand could conveniently absorb, so
there was a moderate decline. The, hog
market, which opened firm, afterwards
became weak and the latter feeling made
itself apparent in provisions. The ruling
weakness in grain was also reflected. At
the close January pork was 7ic lower
than yesterday and January lard and
rib3 each 5c lower. I

HE MAKES PULL STATEMENT
AS TO THE ROBBERY.
A REIGN OP TERROR
In Kansas and Indian Territory.
Caused by the Numerous
Robberies.
Fort Smith, Ark., Oct. 23. Four men
robbed every store and the postofflce in
the village of Watova, a station on the
Kansas and Arkansas Valley railroad.
A hold up at Tallala, six miles this side
of Watova, was anticipated, but did not
take place. A posse of United States
marshals left for :. Gibson, where they
will be joined by theif Indian police and
others, when . a concentrated effort will
be made to capture the robbers, who held
up the train last Saturday night. . John
Vann, who held the horses of the rob
bers Saturday night, was brought in
yesterday ; morning and is now in the
United States jail. A reign of terror
prevails all along the line of the Kansas

Stafford Court House, Va., Oct, 23,
Sheriff Kennedy has gone to Cincin
nati ; armed with - a requesition from
Charles A. ' Moreanfield. under arrest
there, with a broken leg, and who is be
lieved to have been encrasred in the"
Aquia creek train robbery. '
It is now certain that there , were not
more than three persons ensraered in th
robbery and it is believed to be 'probable
that there were not more than two.
After a tedious iournev ud hills and
down, through ravines and dreary roads,
the Searcey escort, upon reaching Staf
ford Court House, proceeded to the resi-,
a ence of County Clerk Brvan. where
Searcey was conducted into the parlor.
Mr. Pinkerton carried a heavv Win.
Chester rifle on the trip and Searcey was
heavily chained." Searcey waived ex
amination, and the necessary papers
were made out turning the prisoner over
to the county authorities. He will be
held here until the grand'jury assem
bles, the 3rd Wednesday in November.
Subsequent to these proceedings, the
party leit here in charge of Bob Pinker
ton for a trip over the route supposed to
have been taken by the robbers when
they left the train near Wide Water
station. Last night was, it is supposed,
spent at a farm house adjacent to the
scene of the robbery, and to-day, accord
ing to the programme arranged, the
party will proceed through the woods in
the hope that they will be able to ex
tract some further confession from
Searcey and thus locate some of the sup
posed buried treasure.
CINCINNATI. Ohio. Oct. 23. Moriran-
field's condition has improved so much
that it is thought that he can now be re
moved to Virginia for trial. It - is said
that D. E. Watchell, postmaster at In-
gomar, Ohio, recognized Morganfield's
photograph as that of one of three men
who stopped and robbed him at Har
pers rerry last January.
A one-legged man. who cives the
name cf Michael Shields, was arrested
at Middletown, Ohio,- on suspicion and
brought here yesterday. He says that
he found Morganfield lying in a ditch
near St. Bernard with a broken lee and
took him to the home of a farmer named
Gieswan.

Calverton, Va., Oct. 23. Before be
ing brought to Frederickburg Charles
J. Seircey, the Aquia Creek train robber.
made a confession - which was taken
down, put into type writing and is now
in the hands of the proper authorities.
There were but two men concerned in
the robbery, Morganfield and Searcey.
They had known each other before and
had talked of a scheme of that sort, but
Searcey for Borne time refused to go into
it. They finally met in Washington and
there agreed to rob a train, but fixed on
no particular one. from Washington
they came down to Fredericksburg and
hanging about there for two or three
days stayed in the woods most of the
time, but coming into FredericksburgJ
several times, un tne atternoon of the
day of the robbery they walked over to
UrooKS station from r redencksburz and
there waited for the northbound train.
They got on the train at . Brooks in the
darkness behind the tender, having
been hidden near the pickle factory under
a car, when the train stopped. They had
no particular reason for selecting Aquia
ureeK as the spot for the robbery. Mor
ganfield blew open the car door with
dynamite, using a half stick with fuse
and cap in the end. Morganfield also
entered the car, while Searcey stood out
side and terrorized the train crew and
passengers. After the robbery they got
off the engine and struck northwest over
the county road, going to Calverton
station, in Fauquier county, and then to
Midland and liaiston and on by the
Fauquier White Sulphur Springs, fol
lowing the telephone line to Front Royal.

Searcey trying to remember the road he
and his pal traveled and the place he left

drove to Catletts and from there back
on the road to Stafford's Store.
About three miles from Catletts, Sear

1 St. Petersburg, Oct, 23. Little fur
ther respecting the Czar has transpired
up to 7 -o'clock p. m, the time of sending
this despatch. The police now distribute
the official bulletins publicly.
j According to advices received by
physicians here from their confreres at
Livadia, the illness of the Czar is taking
its usual course towards a fatal issue.
His majesty was better Sunday and
Monday and worse to day, while it is ex
pected that to-morrow his strength will
carry him to another slight rally. Thus
the progress of the disease will ehlTand
flow until the patient succumbs,
f A bulletin dated Livadia and timed 7
o'clock p. m., was made public here this
evening. It said: "During the course of
the day the Czar was languid.! There
was slight convulsive symptoms.. His
appetite is better than yesterday "

I The Sun's Cotton Review. - '
! New York, Oct. 23. The Sun's cotton
review' says: Cotton declined 4' points,
but recovered this and advanced 1 11 'to 1 3
points, then reacted and closed steady at
anet advance of 6 to 9 points. The sales
were 194,500 bales. Liverpool advancedj
4 1 points, then reacted and closed firm!
at, a rise for the day pf 3 to 3 r points.
Spot sales were 12,0,00 bales, at un
changed prices. In Manchester yarns
and cloths were dull. New Orleans ad
vanced 13 points and then lost (5 points
of tliis. Spot cotton her-e was 1-19 cent
higher. Sales were 337 bales for spinning-
;'; ":-;:-J .-
To-day's features: Reaction, we are
sold, is equal to action. That idea may
not be carried out literally in the cotton
market, since the advance may! not be
equal to the great decline which has
brought prices to so low a point, but, at
any rate, there has been some reaction
against the forces which for so long a
period acted adversely upon this branch
of trade. Nearly everybody has felt that
a reaction from the recent depression
was no more than natural. Torday this
feeling was more noticeable than I yester
day. Prices at one time showed quite a
sharp advance in the teeth of large re
ceipts at the ports of the interior towns;
New York was a good buyer, but the ad
vance was attributable more to buving
by NewJ Orleans i and Liverpool in "this
market than to local purchases. S,ome
of the German houses bought freely,
howeyes, an$ not a' ejy of the i fhofts
became nervous when it was found that
the estimate of the receipts at New Or
leans to-day was comparatively small.
