Ward, THE NEWS GROWS GRAVER Officials Regard Situation as Ex trcmely Critical. TREACHERY THEORY GAINS. .The President Hopes It Was, an Acci dentResults of Investigation Are Kept Secret. By Wire to Th Tklbghak. New York, Feb. 25 The Evening- Sun says: This morning's news from Washington is graver than it has been since the Maine was sunk. High officers of the administration no Ion ger conceal the fact that they regard the situation as extremely critical While nothing is being said as to the result of the court of inquiry all news that comes cTufe whether true or not, supports the belief that the Maine was blown up by outside agencies. The President and Secretary Long still hope the result of the inqniry will show that the Maine was blown up by accident. If the results show that it was blown up by treachery the President is reported as saying that war is inevitable. From the very first, the administration in all its branches has rushed preparations for the con tingency of war. The Maine commiS" sion holds a daily session and takes every precaution to keep the results secret. The censorship at Havana is so strict that correspondents can hard ly get news through. More unex- ploded powder was recovered from the Maine today. THE TWO NEYS AGAIN. Evidence doing to Show that P. S. Ney Was Marshall Ney. Your correspondent today received an interesting letter from Rev. Dr. J. H. Weston, rector of the Episcopal church a't Wilkesboro, in which Dr. Weston says: "The librarian of Davidson College has recently found a book in the col lege library, entitled 'Life of Napo-" lean Bonapart' I forgot the name of author in whi$h is a portrait of Mar shall Ney. "Peter S. Ney read this book in 1841, a few months before his death, and under the portrait of Ney he wrote in French: 'This is not a correct likeness of Marshall Ney.' He then, with a pencil, drew on the same page a sketch of Marshall, with these words under neath; 'Ney, by himself. II fut chauve. ( He was ialdheaded. ) "The picture in the book represents Ney as having a full head of hair, while it is not true, as Marshall Ney 'a memoirs state that he was baldheaded, or nearly bald. The sketch of Mar shall Ney which P. S. Ney drew is an accurate likeness of Marshall Ney, and also a very good one of Peter-S. Ney. "This 'find' I think is of great im portance. It is certainly very strong additional proof of the truth of my theory that P. S. Ney was. Marshall Ney. It seems to me to clinch the ar gument. "This sketch of Marshall Ney, as made by P. S. Ney, together with some valuable notes written by the latter, will appear in a few days in the His torical Magazine of Davidson College and a review of my book ( in connec tion with this discovery ) written by one of the professors at the college, will accompany the publication." Col. Old's Correspondence. . A Performance of Rare Merit.

Telegram Bureau, I High Point, N. c, Feb. 25, '98. The ladies of the Presbyterian church wnile making preparations for their sociable yesterday afternoon were In terrupted in their work by Rev. J. R. Scroggs and a party of young people wno, with smiling faces entered unin vited,but who were welcomley received when their intent was learned. The party was composed Miss Etta Bencini and Mr.- Lee Payne,' who had secretly invited a few friends to wit ness theirmarrige. The work in which the ladies were engaged was suspended and they seated themselves. The marriage was solemnized at 3:30 o'clock. Misa Lucy Eshleman acted as maid of honor and Mr. Darius Payne as best man. The attendants were Miss Bertha Snow and Virgil Idol; Miss Lucy Ehleman and Dr. A. E. Frazieri Immediately after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Payne left for Greensboro where they will spend several days vis iting friends.

We are reliably informed that the commissioners of Randolph county will, probably at their, next meeting, buy a road machine for use in im proving the public roads in that county. The Telegram always takes pleasure in recording vsuch news as this. The commissioners are to be commended for the progressive spirit manifested. Especially do we con gratulate the chairman, A. J. Tom linson, on his efforts to secure better transportation facilities for the people of his county by giving them better county roads. We learn that some Randolph peo-. pie are complaining that last year about two thousand dollars were spent and only twelve or fifteen miles of road built. They should remember, how ever, that it costs a good deal of money to start any enterprise before results are seen or dividends declared. It is more than likely that the biggest part of this money was expended in buying teams, tools, and equipment for working the roads and that the second year will show at least three times Che improvement as a result of the expen diture of a like amount. Get iu front of the procession, Brother Hammer, and lend your com missioners a helping hand in this mat ter of good roads, which, is of such vital importance to the rapid growth and development of the country. EWART WILL BE DEFEATED. Butler Wishes to Force Pritchard to Take the Judgeship. The Sentinel has it from a perfectly reliable source that Judge H. G. Ewaxt will never be confirmed as judge of the United States federal court for this the Western North Carolina dis trict. It is known in Washington, says a gentleman just from that city, that Senator Butler has enough against Ewart to prevent him from going in. A leading republican here was asked this afternoon to name the man who would be appointed, if Judge Ewart is knocked out. He expressed the opinion that it would be Colt Boyd a ad then asked: "Wonder if Senator Butler would fight his confir mation?" This republican stated that Butler's object in fighting Ewart was -to force Senator Pritchard to take the judge ship, "but I don't believe he will suc ceed in this," said he. La Champagne Overdue.

We make the following extracts from the St. Petersburg (Fla. ) Times, anent the Lee tent meetings in that place: The revival meeting which has been going on for a week will close tomor row night. Rev. Lee the evangelist is a forceful speaker and while some may object to his way of putting things, there is no question but he tells some forcible truths. Bro.-Ball says, that Bro. Auld says that Rev, Lee brought down the Stars on Sunday njght. Rev. Lee, the evangelist, is a per fect volcano when he gets warmed up. Vesuvius at her best, could not belch forth more brimstone, lava and sul phur in a given time than the doctor can. The brimstone permeates the air. Parties get mad yet they go again and for the past week, twice a day, the tent has been the attraction. It is to be hoped that the doctor has accom plished much and lasting good in our midst. He will go from here to Tampa and assist Rev. Moody in stirring up the dry bones of. that city. Late Telegraphic Briefs.
