A Sensational Trial of Prominent Peo ple at Morehead City. A ppecial from Morchcad City says : The thin! 1ay of the sensational trial for conspiracy in life insurance -was devoted to proving the physical and financial condition of Charles Arthur, one of the alleged victims. If the evidence of the prosecution is not re butted Arthur is proved to have been a pauper and almos-t a living skeleton. Fraud is proved by the evidence as it fctnndn, but as yet there is no proof of conppiracy. W. L. Arendell was put on the stand Wednesday morning. He testified that Clnrles Arthur was a walking skeleton and the nearept to a dead man he ever paw alive. The Justice said this did not f-how conspiracy and further evi dence was ruled out. It is a matter of recorJ that Arthur was a pauper and received $2 a mouth from the county fund, and that ho was an object of charity for the citizens of Morehead City and JJeaufort. lr. L. W. IVrkinp, the last man ar rested, is mayor of Newport and ex town constable of Morehead City. At the beginning of this season Perkins was in charge of the police department of tho Atluntie Hotel. Here and in Ueaufort people are discussing the sensational arrests, but seem to with hold their opinions until all the evi dence has been brought out. They say prominent citizens should not be condemned as guilty of these dark crimes until strong proof lias been of fered. The prosecution claims to have this proof. Tho attorneys for the de fence say there has been no evidence to prove conspiracy and as yet no case has been made out. On the fourth day of the sensational cases of conspiracy to defraud insur ance companies the evidence brought out was in the line with that of the day before, but was much more explicit and conclusive. Fraud w as proved con clusively in one cse after another. The following shows, first, tho actual ages; second, the ago named in the policy, and third, tho real physical condition of the parties named below, w ho were all insured for good amounts: Hat lie A. avis, first 70, second JO; condition, infirm. Sarah M. fJabriel, very old, 45; infirm. Shepard Davis, first 70, second 7f; infirm. Kmnift J. Casey, first 70, pecond 50; infirm. Melissa CJurhtir, first 70, second 50; infirm. John Doyd, physical wreck. Wm. J. Mice, said to bo good risk, ltl!i:iti Mary A. Tjoughurst, first G5, second 55; poor health. Wm. H. Jones, good risk, consump tion. Sarah A.

Florence Clmdwick, in very bad health. The prosecution attempted to prove t'rtt the money received on the benefit paid nt the death of WigfiiU was divid ed bitween four relatives of the dead man, and that these four lehuives in sured n man in the last stages of con sumption eleven days before de.itb, swearing that he was a p;ood risk, tint the insurance agent in Heaufort certi fied that Wiefall was a "good risk." Most of li'.e day was taken up by wrangles between counsel as to the admission of testimony. A large-number of h tters, affidavits, applications for insurance policies, etc., were ad mitted UM.l .'"

Th? THE DESTROYED hrMes and at least a mile of the grade ol the M :i lalena Branch of the Santa Fe Kail road were washed away, and some damage resulted to the main line south of the city. Of several houses which stood near the channels of the Arrovn, not a vestige is left. Many adobe houses in different parts of tho city have fallen. Water entered the Catho lic Church, and the Convent of tho Sacred Heart was undermined. None of the business portion of the city is injured, but not a dwelling house escaped some damage. Many of the citizens have lost every thine, and at least K0 families are homeless. The city waterworks are partly sw:pt away, and a water famine will follow the Hood, as it, will take a week or ten days to repair the damage.

The first examination of applicants for ap pointment as compositors in th f Government Printing Offlee, since the employes of that establishment were pla -ed under civil service irules, is now beiuc hef 1. There are more i than two hundrod applicants, and it will take tho rest of the week to complete the ex amination of them all. Those who get the required percentage will bo placed on tho 'eligible list and appointed when there aro 'vacancies or when more help is needed at tbo O. P. O. Judging from their talk the "comps" who have taken the examination 'are not overburdened with admiration for tae wisdom displayed by the questions asked. One of them, who had wide experience both In newspaper and job offices, aiid who is cre--J ditedby all who know him with being a flrst 'class all-around printer, being equally at home when petting type, making up or read ing proof, was asked what he thought of the questions asked at the examination. He re plied: "Some of them were good, calculat ed to show whether a man had the knowl edge every first-class printer .should have but others were, in my opinion, absolute rot, dealing with matters having no connection with any of the practical branches of tho craft with which I am acquainted." A business man who has just returned from a trip through Florida says: "TheroJ is intense interest in Florida over tho Cubanj revolution, und every scrap of news from the scat of war is eagerly sought for andj read with avidity. Everybody down there 'sympathizes with the Cubans, and if it werej not for fear of Uncle Sam's interference Ij believe that 10,000 young and daring spirits wonld leave the Slate at a day's notice to help the Cubans in their strusrurle for liberty."

INDICATIONS WHICH POINT TO T1IK CALLING OF A Convention to Organize One. Speech es at the South Carolina Alliance Kncampnir nt. To the St. Louis Republic in a spcdal from Columbia. S. C, says: The fact was devel oped at the State Alliance encampment, which adjuorned to-day after a three days' meeting at Tirzah, York county, that a schcnu is on foot for the calling of a nation al silver convention to I held in St. Louis iu HepternlHT for the purpose of forming a national silver party. Congressman Latimer, of H'uth Carolina ij authority for the ptatA ir.ent that ('ngriss:ueu Bland, of Missouri, Tillman, of South Carolina; Marian Butler, of North Carolina, and other silver leaders have agreed ii pou it, and that the call for Fueh a convention w ill 1m issued. Congress man Latimer says that the scheme has I we n on foot for sonic time, but that it is only w ith in the la.-t few lays that Congressman Bland has been induced to agree to it. But now that all thing- are ready a call for the con tention will be i.:i".l within the next few Weeks. The ball was set in motion at the filver conference at Memphis, and since then the f iii iic puts- has li.-ea L it and the leaders m-lie-.e that the time i ripe for the movement. At any rale the attempt is to ! made. Con gressman Latimer ma b- no public announce ment of tie-scheme, , ut in his speech nt the Alliance encampment he went so far as to pay: "Let us call a national convention, like our own March convention, and say that we tire for both m-'tals. Then put a man on a pimple platform for silver and make the race and whip the light.
