Pou, He presided, and nineteen other members were present. There was much discussion. Some of this was regard ing financial matters and the situation along that line. Several resolutions were intro duced, and these go over until another meet ing to be held soon. The question of thorough party organization was also discussed.

The sentiments is in favor of an early and aggressive cam paign. Congressman Tom Settle ia here, making out lists of all the new magistrates in his district. He says that there was quite a gathering of Republicans at Greensboro. The party, he says, favors co-operation in 189G that is, has no disposition to go back oh his friends. The State Republicans will stand squarely with their National organi zation "and will not jump out of the traces and go straying after strange gods," he says. There may be a mixed State ticket, but one thing is certain, and that is there will be a straight Republican electoral ticket, lhat is a fixed fact. Some Populists say that Republican Chairman flolton makes an ill-concealed sneer at them. Does Senator Marion Butler intend to go into a new party? This is a question which is asked since his letter, of which a sum mary was given yesterday. During the past two years, since Governor Carr's administration- began, , no fewer than forty-three applications for admission as organizations to the State Guard have been filed. The people 'of the State are strongly backing the guards even though the fusion -ists did try to wipe it out of existence. W. S.

Devereux, C. F. Lumsden, E. J. Hale, H. A. London, D M. King, S. McD. Tate and Maj. Hayes, U. S. A. - By the way. Marshal K. M. Bradley tells me he had a talk last nierht with Mai. Hayes, and found that it was the latter and not Gen. Kilpatrick, at whom Lieut. Walsh, of Texas, shot on Fayetteville street, just after the surrender of Raleigh. Marshal Bradley who was in the "Bethel" regiment, was here on light duty, having been wounded, and was near the Capitol when Walsh and another man rode out of a store. W alsh drew his pistol, and, though Bradley begged him not to fire, said he would have one more shot. He fired three times at the Federal advance guard. This was led by Mai. Hayes. Kilpatrick- was a mile in rear. Walsh was chased and captured. When he was taken before Kilpatrick, Hayes told the latter that Walsh was intoxicated and not responsible, but. nevertheless. Kil patrick had him hanged at once. Foot Ball Allowed at Harvard. , Boston, April 10. At Ithe meeting of the overseers or Harvard college to-day the question of the continuance of football was the important subject of discussion.; After the matter had been tulJy reviewed, the overseers decided upon a sort of compromise.

HIS TASK HALF DONE. The Pedestrian Miller and His Dog, Gues, Ceaoh Jack snvllle Both r in Good Trim. Jacksonville t Fla . April 10 Fred Miller, the long distance pedestrian, who is now waiting from JS'ew lorfc to this city to re turn, on a wager of 15,000, arrived at the Union station this morning at 10:15 o'clock., I thus completing just one half of his task. Me is accompanied by his cce. Guess, a large, powerful pointer., Miller started from New York on his j journey at 8 o'clock on the morning of February 5th. He has been just sixty-seven days accomplishing hait h is tass . The con dition of the wager was that he was to walk from New York to Jacksonville and return in seven months from the time of starting. He was to start with nothing, and was to receive nothing but food and clothing while en route. So far Miller has traveled 1,300 miles. His route was from New York to Philadelphia, to Bdtimore, to Washington, to Atlanta, and via Jessup and to this city. He has lost but s iven pounds in weight since he started on hijs long jaunt. The dog is in fine condi tion,, being slick and fat. Miller expects to remain in the city two days and then start on his return trip. i Cremation Interdicted by Mason p. Philadelphia, April 10. Cremation, ser. yicesliave been officially declared by Ma sonic authority not to be Christian burial. The question that has brought about this decision arose over the making of arrange" ments for the funeral of the late Chas. H. Reisser; the well-known restauranter. It had always been Mr. Reisser's wish to be cremated, and after his death his family decided to follow his wishes. Mr. Reisser was also a Mason and a member of Rising Star lodge, Oriental chapter, and of Kadosh Commandery. These organizations were invited to take part in the funeral, but before accepting, it was learneu inai n was we mieuuuu me services take place at the time the body was cremated. The question was at once raised whether, under Masonic law, this would be a Christian burial The matter was referred to the Grand Master of Pennsylvania, who is Judge Arnold, .arid he promptly rendered a decision that services,at a cremation were not a Christian burial under Masonic laws. The family, therefore, decided to abandon their original intention The funeral took place to day and the Masonic organization -attended in a body and performed Masonic rites. The body was then placed in a vault for a time. The Hailroad War. , Baltimore, April 10. President Hoffman, of the Seaboard Air Line, said to-day that the decision of the inter state commerce commission, which permits . the Southern Railroad company to meet the cut in pas senger rates made by the Seaboard to At lanta without reducing the rate to interme diate points, would not affect the situation materially, except that the decision might give the impression that his line was in the wrong in cutting rates. Commenting on the decision President Hoffman said: "I no longer see any use for the inter State commerce commission. That body has virtually given the Southern Railroad com pany a weapon which to fight us and has repudiated about the only important clause of th act under which it was created 'the long and short;hauP clause of the law has been upheld by all the courts, and I am surprised that the inter State commerce commission should be the first to nullify it. I cannot say at present what we will do next, but we are able and ready at all times to protect our rights and prQperty. Whiskey Trust Directors Resigning. Chicago, April 10 Forestalling the cy clone which is in store for the old Whiskey trust directors at the annual election, j three of the board to-day resigned, The retiring members are W. N. Hobart, L. Green and J. Walter Freiberg, all the Cincinnati inter ests. Cincinnati distillers are now unrep resented. Had these men not resigned they would have been removed, as it is the in tention of the stockholders to get rid of the last vestige of the old crowd. According to the by-laws of the company a majority of the board consists of four members. The orignal board consisted of seyen members, and the resignation of Nelson Morris Sep tember 22, 189L left it with only six. To day's resignations leave the board; with three members. It is therefore inoperative. The three remaining are President Green hut, Vice President John Beggs and Secre tary Peter J. Hennessy. It is said that these three will remain until removed at the elec tion, A.pril 17th. " 1 . Armenian Atrocities Oeni d ! Manchester, April 1 10 --The Guardian says that a number of Conservative mem bers of the House of Commons met in Lon don on Monday to hear a statement from Senor Ximenez, the Spanish traveler who has recently been making a tour of 'Arme nia. Senor Ximenez denied the existence in Armenia of anything like the widespread outrages which are reported" to have- been committed. All the Turkish soldiers en gaged in the suppression of the revolt were regulars. They massacred men where they met them in armed resistance, Dut tney did not at apy time attack women and children. The total number of Armenian Christians Killed, he said, was less than 300. . s Commoner Commerell, who has just re turned from. Constantinople,' was present. He denounced the stories of atrocities in Armenia as unfounded and accused the Turkish agent of a prominent London daily as having acted in bad faith in the matter of sending information to his paper, r. Swindling Georgia Negroes. Atlanta, Ga., April 10 A negro, ; who said his name was Mitchell, came here six weeks ago, soliciting funds from his race. He stated that a case against "the "Jim Crow" law was pending in the Supreme court ot the United States. He told it that Robert i Lngersoll, ex-Governor Hoadley and other lawyers had been retained .to represent the colored race in the fight It would take $ 10,000 to pay the lawyers, he said, j His people in Georgia subscribed' liberally. Bishop Turner gave $ 100. A few days ago it was learned that Mitchell was "a fraud. When he found that his record was being looked up he skipped. ; He got $2,500 from the negroes of Georgia and married a school teacher who find3 that Mitchell has a wife in Minneapolis, Minn. , I Grade OH Still A dvanclng. !

There has been no material change in price in the speculative market. 1 New York, . April 10 The Standard Oil company, has made another advance in the price of field oil from $1.27 to 11.35 and the froduct in Oil City this morning sold up to 1.47i, with a subsequent reaction to $1.45. No new reasons were assigned for the further rise, the scarcity of product still be ing the main factor at work. ; Burned D.is Own Cigar Factory. Lancaster, Pa., April W The large frame cigar factory of Henry L. Stehman, at Rohrstown, was destroyed by fire early this morning. Later, Stehman surrendered him self to the authorities here and acknowl edged that he had set the place on fire and wanted to be locked up. He was committed to jail. - The man is undoubtedly insane. The loss is about 17,500, Stehman is a son of ex-State Senator John M. Stehman. Renounces Christianity, Richmond, Va., April 10. Dr. Richmond M.

TREASURY OFFICIALS AT SEA AS TO INCOME TAX. They DoTVot Know What tne Law IsBids Called for for Forgings of Guns for Oar New Cr niseis , ncccsfal Test of New Stmi- Armor-Piercing and Fuse Shells The -Government April Wheat Crop ' , Report. - Washington, April 10 Treasury officials, in the absence of the full text of the Su preme court decision on the Income Tax law, are still groping in the dark as to its exact meaning and haye therefore been unable to send out supplemental instruc tions to collectors as to how the law that still remains shall be carried out. The col lectors will have to be guided, until they re ceive official instructions, by their own best judgments. Many telegraphic inquiries, both from internal revenue officials and private parties, are being received at the treasury and are being answered as well as they"Sah Jie" " wlfh the existing light. , It is admitted on all hands, as the matter is more closely studied, that much confusion must necessarily arise from the elimination of rental receipts from returns, as this excep tion will affect cognate 'questions. Com missioner Miller is devoting his entire time to straightening out the tangle and hopes to have comprehensive supplemental instruc tions ready for issuance by to-morrow at the latest. The Navy Department to-day invited pro posals for gun forgings for the batteries of vessels for the navy.. The advertisement invites all domestic manufacturers of steel to specify upon what terms they will furnish ten sets of rough bored and turned forgings for four inch breech loading riflesand twenty sets of rough bored and turned forgings for five inch breech loading rifles. The proposals will be received up to and in cluding May 1st, on which day they will be opened. 1 Capt. Sampson, chief of the bureau of ordnance of the Navy Department, and his assistants, conducted two very important and successful tests at the navy proving ground to-day at Indian Head, Md. The hrst was a test of semi-armor-piercing nickel steel shell. The shell, as required by the test, passed through a 7-inch nickel steel plate without exploding or exposing the large charge of powder it carried. The second test was that of percussion fuses, and was made to determine at what distance the shell would explode after passing through an obstruction. In this test a serene was erected in the river and a series of stakes about six feet apart driven behind it. The shells passed through the serene successfully and burst ten or twelve feet on the other side. The experiment proved suc cessful, as the distance at which the shells exploded was just about what the depart ment desired. One of the same kind of shells was also fired through a two inch steel plate, bursting on the other side. A successful test was also made with the- six inch gun on cases. The April report of the statistician of the Department of Agriculture makes the aver age condition of winter wheat on the first of April 81.4, against 86.7 last year. It was 77.4 in 1893, 81.2 in 1892 and 96.9 for the year 1891. Generally the past winter has been hard on wheat. The fall of 1894 was a dry one and not favorable in many States either to germination or the maintenance of the vitality of the plant The spring has also been droughty over, extensive areas. Much f ood, however, has been produced by the airisjinfthejlatter jart of March, particularly in the States of Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, and Iowa. Moderate rains also fell in Ne braska and South Dakota. It is reported, however, that the soil was so 'dry and' had suffered so long from drought that it will require much heavier rain's to produce any permanent effect. Very little damage from the Hessian fly is reported. I Base Ball. j Norfolk. Va., April 10. Baltimore had an easy thing defeating Norfolk to-day by a score of 15 to 1 before l,500people.The victory was simply a walk-oyer for the champions and Norfolk was never in it after they had made their first and only run in the first inning. Kissinger, of last year's Norfolk team, was in the box for the visitors and the local players could do nothing with his de livery, while Lamson and Palmer for Nor folk -were batted at will by theipOrioles. Umpire Wood was the laughing tock of the spectators and a 10-year-old boy could have given -better decisions. The same teams play to-morrow. The score was Nor folk 1, Baltimore 15; batteries Lawson and Carr and Palmer and Tenley; Kissinger and Robinson. Richmond, Va., April 10. Although they played beautiful ball and a perfect game this afternoon, the Richmonds were unable to score against Boston. They showed much more abiuty than they have ever done be fore, and the game was full of; interest, Fiynn only allowed six hits in six innings, batteries Flynn, Dinsmore and Wells; Wil son and lennv. Petersburg, Va., April 10. The Brook- lvns nlaved the Petersbure team this even ing and had a walkover, the home boys not being in it at any stage of the game. Mod son. of the Bostons, pitched the first five innings for Petersburg and was batted all over the field. Thomas, Petersburg's regular pitcher, relieved him in the sixth inning and finished the game, not allowing them to score again. The score was: iirooxiyn. 21; Petersburg, 1; batteries Stein, Gumbert and Grim; Modson, Thomas and McUlung. .

Western Packers Deny Formation of a Combination advance in Price Caused by Great.Reduction in ': Receips of Cattle. Chicago, April 10.4The story telegraphed from New York to a morning paper that the recent advance in beef was not justified and that the Chicago packers were making an error to. control the meat market of the country and advance prices "to consumers is emphatically denied by Messrs, Nelson Mor ris, George F. Swift, Armour & Co., and other packers. j The advance of the price on dressed beef," said Nelson Morris this mnrnintr "ia due to the scarcity of cattle. Already this yeartne receipts of cattle at four principal points, Chicago, St. Louis, Omaha and Kansas City are 300,000 behind last year's record. Last week the receips were 29,000 short, which is equal to 18,000,000 pounds of dressed beef. We are 16,000 head short already this week. The price of live stock is now $2 per 100 pounds higher than it was last year and I expect to see prices en still higher." ; . . Mr. Swift also denied that there was a combine among the packers and said the cattle market was 30 per cent, higher now than it was last year, which fact is advanc ing the price of beef to consumers. ... ManagerfFavorite, of P. D. Armour & Co., said th statement that a pool had been formed by the big Western packers to ad vance the price of beef was absurd . "It is scarcely worth denying," said he. "The only causes for the high price of cattle are the scarcity of beeves and the failure of the corn crop. The latter is of course the cause 01 the former. We are not working for the interests of other packers that is certain. Besides, it would be impossible to form a pool of the kind alleged, if desired so great is the diversity of interests among the West ern packers. Last Saturday's receipts were the lowest I have ever' known themonly 500 head. Iaohot know anything about other markets, but ose has only to use his eyes to see how thihfs are going here." The Son's Cotton Review. New York, . April 10. The Sun't cotton review says: Cotton rose 10 to 12 points and closed firm, with sales of 211,900 bales. Liverpool was l-32d higher on the spot, with sales of 25,000 bales; futures advanced 1 point but lost half of this later on nH closed quiet and steady. Silver declined i in London. The North Carolina bulletin for the week savs that the Eastern nH Central sections are likely to show consider- aDie decrease in tne acreage. The semi weekly receipts, as reported for the interior towns by New Orleans, was 22,000 against 11,000 in 1892; shipments 33,000 against 20, 000 in 1892. The Manchester cables were bullish. The Mississippi weekly report says the weather has been favorable for farm work during the past week, except where there was too mush moisture. New Orleans dispatches said bears there were covering freely; In ; Manchester, yarns were strong and cloths in moderate demand. The Southern spot markets were generally steady to firm and quiet. New Orleans, St. Louis, ' Savannah, Baltimore and Augusta advanced l-ibc and Charleston Jc. New Orleans sold 4,500. Spot cotton here was quiet at an advance of ic with sales of 66 bales for spinning. Middling uplands was 64c. Augusta received to-day 290 bales, against 64 this day last week and 255 last year;-Memphis 203, against 84 last week and 95 last year: and Houston 1.503. against 84 last week and 995 : last year. In New Orleans futures advanced 6 to 7 points. Receipts there to-morrow were estimated at 500 to 1,000 bales, against 4,749 last week and 1,553 last year. The port receipts to-day were 8,081 bales, against 19.967 this day last week and 8,942 last year; thus far this week they are 62,940 against 81,547 thus far last week. The exports were 5,594 bales to Great Britain and 5,965 to the Continent. The New York warehouse stock is now 193,000 bales, against 237 ,000, 253,000,388,000, 133,000 and 121,000 bales in the previous five years. Fall Riyer reports a large de mand for print cloths at l-16c advance. President Spencer of i the Southern Rail way company says that the fertilizer busi ness of the South is not more than 60 or 65 per cent, of that of a normal year, and adds: "The South is turning its attention more and more to manufacturing and agricultural products other than cotton. The result is more independence for the Southern farmers." I To day's features werer- It was practically a repetition of yesterday's features, only a little more so, lor instance, Liverpool sold 18,000 bales on the spot yesterday, but to-day 25,000 bales. Prices advanced about 5 points yesterday, but to-day 10 to 12 points. The Southern markets were higher, the port re ceipts were small, falling even below those of the corresponding day last year for the first time this season and the Manchester advices were enough to briDg smiles to the faces of the bulls. English spinners have perhaps in some cases been waiting a little too long to stock up. They seem to have been banking a little too much on a 10,000,000 crop and now they find very little pressure to sell and an aggressive bull party standing by cotton very resolutely on the theory that the next crop is going to be very much smaller than the present one. The South of Europe bought here early in the session, but, later on, there was more or less realizing, as usual, and yet it had very little effect upon prices. ' Many of the local shorts covered and some local operators went long. The undertone of the market is considered firm. . ! Latest News From Hawaii. Victoria, B C, April 10.

A Clifton Forge special says: About 5 o'clock p. m. yester day a negro named Armistead Carter, em ployed by Judge- George K. Anderson, of Allegheny county, Va., attempted an as sault on Helen Elvin', 7 years old, daughter of A. G. Elviu. general foreman of the Chesapeake and Ohio shops at Clifton Forge.
