Ohio Farmers to Settle a' Col ony in, Pasquotank County. Rev. Needham Cobb to ' .Go to . MIssisslDDt. Shoti by Moon- ! sbipers The- ' " .-; Ilev. . P. Fuller. .v Messenger Bureau, 1 Raleigh, July 9. S . lo .day Governor Carr had a letter from Mr. I3aac G. Mover, of Cleveland. Ohio, stating that the latter had pur chased a large tract of good land in Pasquotank county, on which he and his partner, an Elizabeth City man, proposed to locate a large colony of Ohio farmers. He also sent the Governor ,a circular he had prepared and asked, the Governor to endorse the plan, Jhis the Governor did with much hear tines3. Will people ever get done talking about the last - Legislature and finding out its errors of omission and commis sion? Here is a Btrange error of omis sion. The Speakers signed the "Ma chinery act," but they did not Biga the Revenue act. The f unionists treated the Revenue act and the Machinery act as if hey were one and the same. Hence the Revenue act is not complete. Is it legalV it is a question tor the courts to settle. This was what was saidat the office of the Secretary of State to-day. Theodore t . Kluttz, of Salisbury, came here yes terday to see about this matter. The Revenue act is not complete. What will be done in regard to it? Chapter 116 ii the public laws is the Revenue act, and then come two other acts. Chapter 119 is the Machinery act. This is proof con clusive, if kny were needed, that the Revenue act and the Machinery, act are separate. ' If any one will take the trouble to look at the journal of the ; last House, he wilt find as an appendix ne less than twenty-one pages . of "errata." Never before were there so many errors in one volume. A comparison of the records as shown by this 1 House journal with those made by the acts and resolutions shows how much "doctoring" was done. The truth, is the newspaper files are at' nnce the best and most accurate journals of the late lamented Legislature. A well known druggist, who was here to-day on his way to the meeting of the State Pharmaceutical association : at .Morehead City, called attention to the fact that the Revenue act (sec 21) in im posing the tax upon purchases, of seeds by cruggist3 excepts 'products of !the farm." "Now," contended this drug- cist, "if seeds are not products of the firm, no matter where grown, what are they Rev. reedhanrlii Cobb arrived here to-day. He said, in response to an in quiry as to whether he would accept the call to the pastorate of a Baptist church at Oxford, Miss,, that he expected to accept, and that it was a particularly fine field of labor, he was informed. The force of miners at the coal mines at Egypt has been still further increased, and also the output of coal.

They jswore that they could hear a disturbance wniie mey were ux the houses on the street. iNone oi mem could identify the defendants and were obliged to axlmifc on cross examination that the noise was made by the audience. All of the witnesses for tne aeiense agreed that the 6,000 or 8,000 people in the park made less noise tnan a ppuucai con vention or a salvation army of equal size. Not one of them could imagine the noise made as being more disturbing than church bells, rumbling of wagons, processions or cable cars.

A Train Filled With Pilgrim a Tele scoped by Another Train Twenty or More Persona Killed and . Many Wonnded. 1 Craigs Eoad, Quebec, July 9 In the early hours of this morning there oc curred an accident on the Grand Trunk road at the station here, that has eeldom been excelled in horror by any similar eyent in Canadian railway annals. A special excursion passenger train, rushing along in the darknes3 of the early morning', crashed into-another train of the same kind preceding it, and killed how many is not known at preaent--butsome twenty people are believed to be dead, andthe wounded are numbered in the vicinity of two' score. At this writing the exact figures are im possible to obtain, nor can the full list of the victims be had. The trains that came in collision were special excursion trains filled with pil grims en route from Sherbrooke, Rich mond and Windsor mills to Levis where they were to cross over to Quebec and proceed to the Shrine at St. Ape de Baupre, and were following one another with an interval of some twenty minutes Detween tnem. me iorwara train -was making good time, -having left Richmond at 10 o'clock the night .before. On the rear of this train was a Pullman in which were the priests and others in charge of the party and it was- inttmcar that most of the loss of. life occurredvThe first train reached this station, which is four teen miles west of Levis, about 3 o'clock" and stopped at the tank to take water. Due precautions were taken and the semapore thrown to danger against the following train. Only the trainmen were out and about attending to their duties. ' . Suddenly there was a great crash the second train coming at full speed had jdashed into the rear Pullman of the first section. -So great was the impetus of the colliding train that the engine eni-r bedded itself in the palace car and the latter plunged forward and partially telescoped the first-class car immediately in front. Every berth in the Pullman was wrecked", and some of the occupants who were killed never knew what hap pened to them. They died sleeping, Ihe work of rescue was b?gun as soon as possible. When the blinding cloud3 of steam had subsided, the trainmen and priests got together and the dead and the wounded were taken from the rums of the engine, the Pullman and. the first class car andlremoved to - tem porary quarters where the women of the party ministered as .best they could to the wants of the maimed pilgrims. They tore off their underclothing ' and made bandages for gaping wounds and tried in the absense of enough medical aid to go round, to staunch the flow of blood and properly cleanse the wounds. A force of doctors was sent out from Quebec and the wounded were placed on a special train and taken to Levis to hospitals. ' THE PARR ALL TRIAL. The" Widow Showing Signs of Break ing Down More . Expert Testi mony The Prosecution About Through With Its Testi- . mony. - ;- La Plata, Md., July 9. The ther niometer ranged around the 90 mark this morning, but the cburt room 'was as crowded as eyer by a curious people who have regularly attended the trial of Mrs. Farrall for murdering her husband. The ebmely prisoner looked pale and worn to-day, and her face was swollen as though from weeping. When Col. Wil hier questioned a witness or rose to argue as to admissibility of evidence for the State, "she watched him-with an earnest ness that was pathetic. Dulley Willett was the first witness. He-testified that Mrs. Farrall arid Eugene Hall were at his. mother's house, near White Plains,' on the night of October 10, 1894. j V - ; Pat Wallace, whose name does hot in dicate that he is a hoary-headed negro, testified that on one occasion last sum mer Mrs. , Farrall had a quarrel with her. husband, and that he heard Mrs. Farrall use fierce oaths. Horatio Canter deposed that he had heard,the couple quarreling a few days before Farrall's death, about some money theuUter had missed, and that Farrall 8aia7 "I suppose you have given it to that man Hall." ; T Dr. P. W. Hawkins was , called as an expert by th5 State, and, being given a hypotheticil case, the symptoms in which wore practibally the same as those attending the death of Farrall, said he thought a man so affected was suffering from strychnine poisoning. ' Dr. Walbach Gardiner, a retired army surgeon, testified, in answer to a ques tion about the same hypothetical case propounded to Dr. Hawkins, that a per son so affected might be suffering from either tetanus, strychnia poisoning , or hysteria. 1 At the conclusion- of Dr. Gardiner's testimony counsel for the State said that they had several mote witnesses,' ybut they were not present, and the prosecu tion could not proceed further without them, The court decided to allow a half hour to-morro?w for examination of these witnesses, and ordered that the defense be ready to proceed with its case when court reassembled late this afternoon. A Cashier's New Way of Vindicating Himself. Chicago," July 9 A special to the Chronicle from Duluth says: The sequel to the recent bank robbery -tit vRainy Lake, Minn., came to-day. After Cashier Butler returned from Duluth with money to replace that stolen from the bank, he learned that during his absence many of the depositors had openly accused him of beinsr a party to the robbery; Butler was angry when this came to his ears, He armed himself with, a large revolver and started out after his traducers. He first went to the Girard house and noti fied the proprietor. Henry Girard, that he must withdraw his doposit in the bank and retract the stories he had cir culated'. Mr. Girard protested and the enm was pushed in front of his face The same treatment was accorded nearly a. score of depositors. While this wasttoing on Fred Potts, the bank clerk, was going around noti ftrintr pvervbodv to eo to the bank and get their money. U. M. Thomas, editor of the St. Francis News was attacked on the street by Butler. The latter was se verely hurt, and would have been killed but for interference. Sutler has swo: out warrants for a number of persons on charges of slander. The town is greatly excited, and it is likely that there wil be trouble. More Increase of Wage. Oswego, N.

HATTERAS LIGHTHOUSE. THE PLANS BEING PREPARED AS RAPIDLY AS POSSIBLE. The Lighthouse Board Satisfied With the Experiments ' Made Satisfac tory Trial of the Olympia A Writ of Error from Federal , Court Stops a Hanging. The North Atlantic " - v Sqaadron to Make, ":; ', Coast Defense - -; . Maneuvers. 4 ' ' Washington, July 9. Justice White, of the United States Supreme court, has allowed a writ of error in the case of the State of Mississippi vs. Charley Smith, who is under sentence to be hanged to morrow. This will 'act as a stay against the execution until the error alleged can be investigated by the higher courts. Reports of the final trial of the Olympia which reached the Navy Department to day show that the vessel maintained a speed'of nearly twentyknots in Saucelite channel for"- f our Z 'KoursT'dn" natural draught, which is greater than expected. The vessel was not forced in any way. accomplishing twenty knots with . the greatest . ease. The vessel was heavily loaded, nearly 900 tons displacement greater than on her ' contractors' trial. The -Olympia is now at San Francisco, recruiting men for a three years' cruise. As soon as her complement of marines is f ull she will go to 'Mare Island for two weeks and then proceed to China to re place the .Baltimore as flagship. The lighthouse board of the Treasury Department to-day made the following official announcement: The published statement that the ex perience with the temporary boring frame plant constructed a year ago on the Outer Diamond shoal, off Cape Hat teras, N. C.i has been in i any . way dis couraging to the establishment of a per manent light there was unauthorized by the light house board and is contrary to the facts. The result of this experiment has been in every ,way favorable. The frame was placed there principally to make borings and determined the nature of the foundation. As was anticipated. it was found that the shoal is composed of sand to an indefinite denth . i Alter tne Donngs were completed the I frame and the temporary platform were left standing, since there was no reason for removing them and it was thought that obseiyation of the effect of heavy seas on a -structure of that character would be valuable. The lighthouse board is kept fully informed of the con ditions of the beacon by regular reports from the keeper at Cape Hatteras, who is provided with a strong telescope for the purpose of observing it, and by re ports also received from passing steam ships. It is a fact that the beacons have n damaged by the sea, but it is re garded as most encouraging to the plan of establishing a permanent light that a temporary structure of this character should have stood over a year and weathered " some violent hurricanes and be still far from entirely . de stroyed. However, the fact- that it has been damaged, is a fortunate cir cumstance, since the nature and extent of this damage .will afford valuable data as to the force and direction of the heav iest seas, and the form which the perma nent structure must take to resist them. Another valuable piece of information derived from this beacon is that there appears to have been no scour around it or shifting of the bottom, since, with all the damage it has sustained, it has 1 not settled perceptibly. The plans for he permanent structure are being prepared as rapidly as possible by the lighthouse board. ' f Admiral liunce has come to Washing ton to corifer-jwith Secretary Herbert re garding the programme for summer ma neuvers of the North Atlantic squadron. Before August 1st, when at least ten ves sels will constitute the fleet, an elaborate detailed plan jof operations for the de fense of the coast from Cape Cod to the capes of the Chesapeake will be prepared and put into Operation. Late in August the equadron will probably . rendezvous at Newport ahd be reviewed by Secre tary Herbert aboard the Dolphin. The Navy Department to-day made the ninth payment of $12,500 on gunboat No. 9, now building at Newport News. This vessel is how more than half com pleted and Tyill be ready for launching early m October. Two sister vessels which are now on the stocks at the same yard will be launched in the next two. months. i Secretary Herbert has ordered a court of inquiry to meet at New York navy yard on Thursday next to investigate charges that money has been advanced or loaned to enlisted men ' by subordi nates of the pjay department of the navy at usurious rates of interest, amounting in some instances to 20 per cent, par month.

REV. SAM SMALL Testifies in the Massey-Pilot Trial About the Alleged Libelous Arti cleThe Defense Rests Its - Case. Noefolk, Va., July 9 A large crowd was in attendance when court opened this morning in the Massey-Pilot case; oef ore anything had been done, the jury was sent out of court. Judge Pren tis then ruled out mo3t of the deposition of Mr. Lovell, a book man of New York, whose deposition was read just before ad journment yesterday. -.The court said its reason for ruling out the greater part of the deposition is that it relates to mat ters between strangers in this case Lov ell and Womack by which Mr. Massey cannot be bound. The court in niling out this Lovell deposition said plainly to the defense that the evidence does not show that there has been any criminal connection between Massey and' Wo mack. , The jury was then brought back and the defense called to the stand Mr. Sam W. Small, one of the defendants in this case. He was examined by Judge Heath, narrating his newspaper experience and saying that at the time of the publication oi tne ldassey-rkok company article, he Hciieveu me statement in tne article to be true and believed that there was evi dence that would establish the truth of the statements in said article. In the 3 j i . . , , - , , course of his connection with the Pilot he received letters calling his attention to school matters, and, having knowledge of the transactions of the American Book company, he was led to believe that the school books matter was worth looking into, air; uyrd prepared an article and sent it to the witness; when it reached the Pilot office, he (Small) pruned it till he thought it would pass muster and then he published it. Questioned by Mr, Neely, of counsel for plaintiff, Mr. Small admitted that he bad not retracted in his newspaper the things he had published and which he had afterwards learned were not true. Mr. T. H.

HE-Ti-EY, July 9 The principal , event of the regata to-day was the "eight-oared race for the grand challenge cup, which is rowed in heats, the final one being de cided on the last day of the regatta. The first heat was won by Trinity hall who beat the London rowing club by six lengths. The second heat was won by the Eton eight, who beat, the Thames rowing club crew a length and a quarter. . mm A A. 5 J i men came tne one oi greatest interest both to Englishmen and Americans, The Cornell crew had drawn to contest with the eight of the Leander Boat club, which won the cup last year and were, consid ered the strongest crew entered in the race. The wind was blowing strong oS Berks shore which favored the Cornells, who had drawn a position on that Bide. Mr. G. S. Francis, the manager of the Cornell crew was unable to be taken on .board the umpire's launch,"which' follows the boats over the course, as Mr. Willand, the umpire, thought she was already filled. When Mr. Willand asked: "Are you ready.-" the Leanders shouted: . "No," but ap parently Willand did not hear them, as he said : "Go," and the Cornells went off in good style. The umpire s launch did not ioiiow for Borne time, but as the Cornells showed no sign of stopping, the launch event ually followed them down the course, while the Leanders remained at the starting point. The Cornells, after row ing at a pretty fast pace for awhile re duced their speed until their stroke was little less than paddling. They occu pied eight minutes and eleven seconds in going over the course. The Uornell boys, ot whom there was a large number present, ran along the towpath, cheering the men and filling the air with the Cornell cry, which was taken up by the Americans occupying houseboats along the course. The scene was very exciting. In the meantime the Jbeander crew re mained at the post, declaring - that they would lodge a protest against the heat being given to Cornell. It appears that when the umpire asxed ii they were ready some one in the Leander's boat said "Yes," whereupon the umpire gave the word "Go. Almost at the same time the stroke of the Leanders shouted "No," "No." The Leanders, or part of them, at least, made a faint attempt to get away as the Cornells started,, but it was evident that the crew had no inten tion of going over the course, though for what reason nobody can imagine. The. board of stewards have decided against the protest of the Leander crew and sustained the umpire tn awarding the heat in the grand challenge race to Cornell. The drawing of lots for to morrow's heats in the grand challenge cup race resulted in the pitting of Cor nell on the Berks side of. the course, against Trinity hall (Cambridge) on the Bucks Bide, for the fourth heat, and Eton against New College, Oxford on respectively the Berks and Bucks side for the fifth.
