A Superb Affair.. An apprecciative audience greeted Mr. Bennett Griffin and Mrs. Minnie Tish Griffin at the Young Men's Chris tion Association auditorium last even ing, when for over an hour they were treated to a charming recital of violin and vocal music. The programme was delightfully varied and was enthusias tically received by the entire audience. Miss Bessie D. Eurtt. Wilmington's gifted young pianiste, played the ac companiments during the evening and was highly complimented on all sides. Her playing was quite an enjoyable feature and was highly appreciated along with the singing of Mrs. Griffin and the violin playing of Mr. Griffin. The programme contained seven numbers, and the audience agreed that the netertainment was one of the very best ever heard here. Certain it is that our music loving people who were not present missed a genuine treat. Mrs. Griffin is a soprano singer of rare power and captivated the au-v dience. Her voice is full of melody and possesses marvelous compass. She was rapturously applauded and was encored time and again,, so delighted was every body. Mr. Griffin is a violinist of extraor dinary ability and his playing was ap preciated and warmly commended by everybody. The great demonstration of applause he received was but. a faint indication of the great appreciation of "those who heard him with so much pleasure. He had to respond to numer ous encores, and he obligingly did so. The entertainment in every particu lar and as a" whole, was indeed a charm ing one.

COBA DEVASTATED. MR. CALHOUN TELLS WHAT HE SAW AS RESULT OP WAR. The Co an try Laid Waste No Signs of Hab. ltatlon Except at Railway Stations the Ruiz 1 1nvestigation Impossible to .Get Facts From the Witnesses FondevIel:a Wanted bat Mot to bo Foand The Re port Sent Direct to the President. New York, June 7. William J. Cal houn, who was sent to Cuba as a spe cial commissioner to .investigate the circumstances of the death in prison of Dr. Ruiz, an American citizen, reached this city on his return today. He was accompanied by George W. Fishback, his secretary,- and Charles M. Pepper, a Washington newspaper correspond ent, who went to Cuba with the com missioner.' " Mr. Calhoun said that the commission held three sittings "between May 20th and June 1st, at Havana, .Regulas and Guanabacoa., The papers examined in the case were chiefly military records. The final report will be made to Wash ington by General Lee. In a conversa tion, Mr. Calhoun said: "The island of Cuba is rapidly being devasted by a relentless, cruel and bitter civil war, so that in a short time it will not be worth anything to anybody. It is dif ficult to get at the exact situation there. In the first place, there Is a se vere censorship of the press, and those who are naturially friendly to the Cu bans hardly dare to express their views and opinions. Furhtermore, the ad herents of both sides are exceedingly intense." They tell their stories just as they want you to believe them. From the Spanish point of view, the island is 4 practically pacified, and from that of the Cubans, the insurgents never were in such excellent shape a they ' now are." "Did you go into the interior of the island?" asked the reporter. ' "Yes, I went from Havana to Ma tanzas. While both are on the seacoast still to go from one point to the other by rail, it takes you through a large part of interior country. I also made several short trips from Havana in other directions." "What is the condition of the coun try?" . "It seems to be entirely "depopulated .and there are no signs of any buildings standing except at the railroad sta tions. These, by the way, are practi cally forts. I was generally informed that the same condition of affairs exists throughout Cuba from Havana to Pi nar del Rio, except in the extreme east ern end. There is- where the Cubans get their supplies and cattle .They control that section now. It was the portion of the island which held out ten years in the last-war. "Cuba is undoubtedly a magnificent country. It is rich and beautiful and the soil responds bountifully to the seed. "While I am not called upon to make any formal report to the president, be cause t acted merely as counsel to Gen eral Lee, in the Ruiz case, still I may be asked to tell Mr. McKinley and the secretary of state of the things which I have seen and heard in my brief trip to the island of Cuba. In that case, I readily will do so. . -At the sessions of the commission we examined several witnesses, but when you ask me if they were plentiful I can only say that they did not run after us and we had to use no force to keep them away. They were com posed of Spaniards and Cubans. The Spanish witnesses and, in fact, all of those who testified, were so surrounded with safeguards that it was impossible to get at the naked truth. One person whom we would have liked to hear could not be found. This was Fonde viela, who eomanded the Spanish in the Guanabacoa territory. He disap peared and it was imrwjssible to find him. Captain General Weyler did not put in an appearance at the investiga tion. We inspected the jail at Guana bacoa and when we were there-it was suspiciously clean. We learned that Dr. Ruiz was arrested on February 4th charged with having some connection with an assault which took place on a railroad train between Guanabacoa and Havana. He was placed in solitary con finement, or as it is known there, he was 'incommuncado,' Thirteen days later he was taken out of his cell on abcount of his mental and physical con dition. It was then found that he was suffering from a severe wound on the head and he died two hours after he had been released from the cell, in which the secret of his injury is buried. The question of the deceased doctor's American citizenship was never denied. The autopsy showed that he died from congestion of the brain. His remains are interred at Guanabacoa. We had no positive or direct proof of any as sault whatever, and the conclusion ar rived at must be based on the detailed evidence in the report of Consul Gen eral Lee which is now on its way to Washington. I, myself, will make no report and J prefer not to say anything as to my idea of the affair until the report is given to the , public bv the proper authorities at Washington. I shall go to Washington tomorrow morn ing at 10 o'clock." - Mr. Calhoun said that he had been treated courteously while in Cuba by all those With whom he came in con tact. His visit was a very pieasam one: but. owina: to the bad weather which prevailed during hie stay, he was unable to visit the interior. Mr. George W. Fishback, who is-Mf. Calhoun's secretary, was reticent when spoken to in reference to his trip, but he made on significant statement. "We did not go within the insurgent lines but all the insurgents, however, are not within the lines." Washington, June 7. Mr. Calhoun, the special counsel for the United States in the Ruiz case, is .expected here tomorrow In view of the fact that the president leaves Washington the day f olloAing for Nashville, it Ja possible tha Mr. Calhoun will be in vited to accompany the president on the' special train, a part of the way at least, in onler to afford opportunity to make a verbal rp.ort upon the results of his visit to Cuba. Th?re no ex pectation at the state department that any immediate results will follow Mr, Calhoun's return, for the preparation of his report (If is deemed best to put his observations on paper subject to a congressional call), will pf9bably consume some time. J ... The Situation at Urbana. Urbatw, Ohio, June 7. Sheriff Mc La reached horn on the Big Four train from Springfield 'this afternoon. He was met at the depot by Deputy Sheriff Kirby, in a cab, and was hur ried off to his mother's home.' Mayor Ganzon wrote a card today. In It he condemns mobs, He says that all was done , by the sheriff po .saye Mitchell that could 'have been done, and if more j force had been used,-men, women anu children would have been kilted.

The (din of tha howling mob is in my" ?ars. I hear that the father of Bell, who. was i!tV has threatened to shoot rae-on sight,. I yun going to leave the city, but my where abouts will be kept a. secret." V The feeling here has subsided veryi much. A strong reaction has eet in and the best public opinion tonight fa,vors protection to the fullest for Captain Leonard and bis company, THE PENITENTIARY STOCK A DF. On the Right of Way of the North Carolina Railway Demand for Possession Made by the Southern Railway. '(Special to The Messenger.) Raleigh, N. C., June 7 The front por tion of the penitentiary stockade 5g upon ground to which the Southern railway lays claim. Tt has made a de ffnaHd on the penitentiary superintend ent for -the space of fifty feet "from the centre of its tracks. The stockade is now in twenty feet of the track of the North Carolina railway. Superintend -erit Sml thjljas laid the matter before the attorney general, jand contends 'that as the state owns two-thirds of the North Carolina railway, the latter has no right to make a demand for other state property; also that the right of the penitentiary has been unquestioned for itwenty-eight years. The peniten tiary graded all this land. Superin tendent Smith say's if the attorney general decides that the Southern rail way's claim is valid, he will move the Stockade and put am iron fence on the line decided upon. The Souithern saya ft want's the land in dispute for use for slide tracks. It Is 'a very novel case. Five convicts from Wilson arrived at the penitentiary this afternoon. Senio class day exercises were held 'at the Agricultural and Mechanical college 'this evening. Joshua! B.

THE DEEDS OF A MADMAN. A Washington City Lawyer Attempts to Kill a Young Lady Ihen Commits Saiclde. Washington, June 7. Charles Barber, a patent attorney, who had gained much notoriety of late by his eccentric actions, shot Miss Dorothy E. Squires this morning- as she was on her way to the office where she is employed as a stenographer and typewriter, and, thinking he had kill ed her, blew out his own brains. Miss Squires was shot in the back of the head and The hand. She will recover. Miss Squires formerly worked for Barber as a Stenographer and upon leaving his em ploy, he annoyed her with his attentions, threatening to injure her if she would not permit him to call. Finally the matter became so serious that she had to appeal to the courts for protection, and he was placed under bonds to keep the peace. He seems not to have desisted, however, for since then the girl had received several threatening letters from him, in the last of which he announced that he would do something which they both would regret. - Parber's persistent attentions to the young woman have caused several scenes 'A few weeks ao her brother attacked him on the street and administered a sound thrashing. Barber was a hard drinker and an in veterate gambler who made several futile pfforts to reforrrl at the instance of friends who recognized his brilliant talents, but also his lack of steadiness and purpose in life. He left several letters showing that h had premeditated today's tragedy. He A Conductor Attacked by Negroes. , Richmond, Va., June 7. At Spout Springs, on the Norfolk and Western railroad, this evening, Conductor Rob inson, of the west bound passenger train, had a difficulty with a negro, which came near resulting fatally, and which .left-the. negro with a broken head. The negro, Charles Staham, boarded the train at West Appomat tox, -and though he had a seewnd class ticket, Insisted on riding in a first class car. The conductor ordered him out at Spout Springs. The negro curs ed the conductor and showed fight, whereupon the conductor struck him a terrific (blow over the' 'head, causjnpj the bljod to flow freely. A general'fight ensued, in which the negro was con-, siderably worsted. Finally, several ne groes coming to Staham's assistance, he picked up a large stone, and th conductor drew" a pistol which put an end to the' d'ifScutty. Several pistols were drawn by tvairtrnen "and" passen gers, which probably prevented tha plucky conductor from being ill treated; by the crowd of blacks. Desolation Prom a Cloudburst. Paris, June 7. The later details from Grenoble, in the department of Isere. show that the desolation wrought by the cloudburst, which caused the river Morge to overflow its banks is far more extended than was at first supposed. The deluge of water causea fenorrooiia landslides of trees and sand from the mountain into the val ley, overwhelming houses; burying cattle and destroying other property. In many villages the fleeing inhabitants left every thing behind thena. Almost all the riverside factories were destroyed and no fewer than 500 work shopa wvre wrecked. The town of Voiron presents a' lamentable appearance. All the bridges are gone anJ the streets are filled with masses of debris washed put from the factories and shops bales " of cloth, rolls of silk and similar manufaer tured products while the roads ef the town and the district round about are simply impassable and choked with rocks and fallen trees or gullied with great washouts. , , Many of the principle merchants are ab solutely ruined and thousands of work men are net' "Bnly without employment, but without shelter.

The Senate Completes the Lumber Sched uleThe Debate Very Breezy at Timer. Senator Heir Stirs Up Senators Caffery and Bacon The Sugar Schedule Laid Aside on Suggestion Q Amendments to be Proposed. - SENATE. Washington, June 7. The senate to day disposed of the lumber paragraph, which has been more stubbornly con tested than any feature of the bill thus far, by defeating the motion of Senator Vest to place white pine on the free list yeas, 20; nays, 38. The con test was mainly significant in breaking party lines which have been maintain ed, with few exceptions, during the early stages of the debate. On the final vote eight democratic senators voted against" Senator Vest's proposi tion, namely, Senators Bacon and Clay, of Georgia; McEnery, of Louisiana; McLaurin and Tillman, of South Car olina; Martin, of Virginia, Rawlins, of Utah,and White, of California, On the other hand, Senator Carter, republican,.- and Senators Cannon and Mantle, silver republicans, voted for the Vest motion. Following this a vote to substitute the Wilson lumber schedule was defeated 21 to 37, and the schedule was agreed to as re ported. The debate preceeding the vote was at times very breezy owing to the break of political lines. The consideration of the tariff bill was resumed soon after the session opened and the discussion proceeded on the paragraph placing a duty of $2 per 1,000 feet on lumber. Senator Allen, populist, Nebraska, moved to substitute the provisions of the Wilson bill which placed lumber on the free list. The senator spoke in particular against restoring white pine to the dutiable list, urging that the rates were designed to be prohibitory against Canadian pine. There was nothing, he said, in the "clap-trap ar--gument" of American high wages, as the wages of lumber men in Canada were, on the whole, higher than in the United States. Senator Berry, of Arkansas, spoke against restoring the duty on white pine. He had been appealed to by the lumber interests of his own state to support the duty but he could not do it when it laid such heavy tribute on the agricultural people of the western states. Senator Bacon, of Georgia, who is supporting the lumber duty, reminded Senator Berry that his (Bacon's) sup port was due fo the fact that the duty was a revenue rather than a protective rate. Senator Berry responded with a ve hement arraignment of the bill, framed, he said, in the interest of every trust and combination in the country. Senator Caffery, of Louisiana, op posed the duty on white pine and in cidentally criticised the position of Senator Bacon, who, he said, favored a protective duty. This the senator from Georgia denied. Senator Caffery announced his oppo sition to all protective duties. He fav ored the imposition of pure revenue du ties. : "The platform I stand on" interposed Senator Bacon, "the orthodoxy of which the senator from Louisiana may not subside to (Senator Cafferv sup ported the Indianapolis gold ticket) warrants mv position. The Chicago platform said: 'We favor a tariff for revenue with duties so adjusted as to operate equally throughout the coun try, and not discriminate as to class or section.' It is that plank in the plat form upon which I stand." Senator Caffery said there might be a discrepancy between the Chicago and the Indianapolis platforms, but the es sence of democracy was opposed to a tariff on raw materials because such a tariff necessarily required compensa tory duties on manufactured articles. Senator Caffrey sat down, but Sena tor Hoar brought both .him and Senator Bacon to their feet. "I suggest," said he, "that the senators from Louisiana and Georgia could save the time of the senate if they could agree upon terms. The senator from Georgia should apply his protection principles to sugar and the senator from Louisiana his protect ive principles to lumber." "If the senator will substitute reve nue principles for 'protective princi ples' " observed Senator Bacon, good naturedly, "I will agree," "A protective duty on sugar by any other name would be as sweet," replied Senator Hoar, "and be a protective duty still." Senator Caffery displayed so ne tem per as he pronounced Senator Hoar's statement that he favored a protective duty on sugar erroneous. There was not, he declared, an iota of protection in his ynake up. Senator Bacon and Senator Caffery had a sharp exchange and seemed about to subside but Senator Hoar evi dently did not desire that. Again he made some rather sarcas tic references to Senator Caffery's con sistency, describing him as a free trader who cried always "sugar," "su gar.' sugar, and who, when the Wil son bill was before the senate, was so doubtful of what that bill would do for sugar that he voted "aye" on the sugar schedule and "no" on the final passage of the bill and then changed to "yea," "The free trade senator from Louisi ana" he concluded, "finds only one ex ception to the application pf hs theory sugar; and the free trade senatoi irom ueorgia, anotner exception lum ber. Senator Bacon protested against ben ing termed a free trader. He favored a duty on all raw materials. "All raw materials that compete with the products of Georgia,!' remarked Senator Hoar amid laughter. Senator Jones, of Arkansas, charac terized as absurd the claim tha$ this, country was being "flooded" by foreign manufactures of lumber in the face of the fact that but $7,500,000 worth of lumber was imported last year, against $540,000,000 consumed. Senator Srooner called attention to the remarkable nature of Senator Vestis amendment which proposed to exclude White' pine from the general duty of $2 on tijnber. Why should the lumber interests of! Michigan," Minne sota and Wisconsin be dealt this blow. Senator Pritchard, of North Caroli na, called Senator Spooner's attention to the existence of white pine in Ken tucky, West Virginia and . Tennessee. He also declared that he should vote to equalize conditions and wherever a North Carolina Industry was effected he would vote to place it, if possible, in a superior position, Senator Gray said he wanted to equalize the conditions of the consum ers and said it was an exercise of the despotism of wealth of people along the northern tier of states were to be stayr ed and prevented from crossing the imaginary line which separated ; hem from Canada. - , Senator Hijla rernarked hat Sehar tpr Gray was talking like a free trader The latter accepted the term. He said he had no prejudice against the word "free" or the word "freedom." - "Why do you draw the line at the free coinage of silver?" asked Senator Tillman. The senate and galleries roared. . . , -. fTh protection genatop- froni gouth Carolina takes up the sword of the senr ator front Nevada (Stewart), during his. absence" replied Senator Gray. "Free silver, like the flowers that bloom in the spring, have nothing to do with the case." After further debate. Senator Vest's j amendment to except white pine lum ber from the $2 rate was lost. When the sugar schedule was reach ed, Senator Allison stated that it was possible that some amendment might be made to it so that he" thou eh t it would be inexpedient to go on with it tomorrow. It was the purpose of the committee, however, to have that sche dule considered as early as possible. If any changes were made they would be proposed in open senate and after that sufficient time would be given gentle men on the other side to consider them. The tobacco schedule will be consid ered tomorrow. In response to inquiries by Senator Cannon, Senator Allison stated that the committee probably would return to the sugar schedule and dispose . of it ahead of the other schedules as sena tors desired to have it out of the way. At 5:30 o'clock the senate held a brief executive session and at 5:45 o'clock p. m., adjourned. HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES! iMr. Bailey, democrat, of Texas, tihe manority leader, was In Wis seat when the house 'met 'today, fo(r the first time in a fortnight. ' On motion of 'Mr. Tensmore, demo crat, of Arkansas, the senate resolu tion to permit Carlo's Guttierrez, of Salvador, 'to be received as a cadet at West Point, was adopted. After the passage of two senate bills, authorizing the constructio i of bridges, Mr. Grosvetnor, of Ohio, ttiDVed an ad journment. "As long as the Cuban re luitfion and the' bankruptcy bill are un disposed of," interrupted -Mr. Bailey, before the vote was taken, "we feel con'strained to re sist Ithese moitlons to adjourn." The opposition scored Its first vic tory th'i's session when. On a rising vote, the motion ito adjourn was defeated 79 to 80, The Opposition cheered the announcement. Mr. Grosvenor Immediately demended the yeas and nays, which were order ed1. The roll call reversed the previous vote and the motion to adjourn was carried 91 to 79; present and not vot ing 11. Mr. Terry made 'the point Of no quo rum and the. further 'point itihat the house could not adjourn for more 'than one day .without a quorum. The speak er declined to hear him, calling atten tion to the fact that with those present and not vdring a quorum was present. He then announced the house adjourn ed till Thursday. Base Ball.

"I encountered the 'strangest man I ever knew while I was doing some gov ernment work in Missouri." said the retired contractor, according to ThJ Detroit Free Press. "Ha was smart enough, so jolly that every , one liked him, and apparently in the best of health. But he made a few bad deals, had to mortgage some of his property, and just seemed to throw up his hands. He vowed that he had ceased to be his own man, and would drift till he found out what the world wanted to do with him. . "When he had disposed of the family clock and there seemed to be nothing left, he coolly announced that the next day he would raffle himself. He didn't know Whether the boys would care to buy chances, but he meant business and would work faithfully for the man who drew him. Tickets sold for good figures, but there were two left, and he laughingly said that he would take a couple pf shots at himself. When the drawing came off he held the lucky number.' " Well, sir, the fellow turned loose and went to making money hand over hand. He became one of the greatest hustlers in the west, paid off the mort gages, bought everything there was money in, and is as rich now as a river bottom farm. When ,he drew himself at that raffle he made up his rn.5nd thJH he was his own man agatn, aod besides he had, agreed to do' his best for the winner.

Jacksonville, Fla., June 7. In the United States court Judge Locke hand- ed down a decision in the case of the Three Friends, charged with violating the neutrality laws by carrying a fil ibustering expedition to Cuba,- and also as an armed vessel, dismissing the libel for forfeiture. In giving the decision Judge Locke said: "The court In ex amening the evidence in this case fails to find any testimony showing that the vessel was fitted out and armed within the limits of the United States. It does not show that she was loaded with arms and ammunition within fifteen or twenty miles of the shore. The furth er charge that the vessel took on addi tional, arms or' ammunition on the -island of Navassa. which is American soil, was not confirmed by the testi mony. It shows that the vessel touch ed there for a short time, but it doea not show that it did anything that is in violation of the neutrality laws of this country," ' Three other cases are pending against the vessel, but they are likely, to be dismissed, as the' evidence ia much the same as in the present case.
