JONES MAY RETIRE. - Rumored Id Washington (that ba May be Suseeeded bv Stone of Mlssoari. , '' JThe Washington Times of yester ' J day cbhtaW th following interest ing story : ' i Democratic officials in this city N. nffect to believe that no persistent - and determined effort will be made " looking to the removal of chairman . Jones and the substitution of "Go'. Stone of Missouri as the actual man .jtger of the coming campaign, ; ; . But there are others w ho assert their ability to see an approaching and evergrowing cloud on the politl- . cal horizon, at first no larger thait a hen s egg, but now attaining the v dimensions of a hot air balloon, which threatens to wither the fresh young verdur. of Mr.-' Jones .as a jWh-irrade manager. , The removal - of headquarters to Chicago, it is said, will afford an opportunity for all the . concentrated opposition to Mr. ' Jones to develop and materialize in a man ner that would have been impossi ble here in Washington. Troubles will begin to crystallize and descend upon the devoted head of Mr. Jones Immediately upon his arrival in Chicago, for there he passes into, the jurisdiction of Gov. Altgeld, who; with a half dozen other Western men, are waiting to take the chairman by the beard and say, '.Art thon in health, my brother ?" while they make an Incision beneath the fifth rib with a knife already sharpened and secreted. Qov. Altgeld hates M. , Jones, and it is not probable that his hatred can -be mollified. He. held aloof from the Senatorial syndicate which took possession of the Democratic party at the national convention, and would not participate in their par leys and plana. .When .the conven tion adjourned thi governor asked Senator Jones to visit him at Spring field, but the invitation was declined and constituted an affront which will never be forgiven. And the Gover nor of Illinois is the last man in the world to forego revenge for the sake of harmony'. " , V The representatives of the Wes ' tern leaders, both here and in Chi cago, declare that it is onlya;ques- me 'when Chairman Jones be forced to relinquish bis management of the campaign. If such a consummation can be effected , in no other way his position will be made so unpleasant that Mr. Joues will be glad to throw it up and escape with his fife, ad it were. Then Gov. Stone will be placed at the head of both the national and exeedtive com mittees. But should Senator, Jones be able to endure the kindnesses heaped upon him by his friends, the belief prevails that he will, eventually be glad to pose as a meVe figure-head, and permit the actual management of the campaign ta' pass into the ands of Govt Stone as chairman of the executive or campaign commit tee. In order to leave a way open for graceful retreat, it is said, three 'Vacancies were left upon the com "mittee to be filled after his arrival ' .in Chicago and Mr. Jones may almost at the outset place Gov. Stone at the head of the committee. Another stonft .wall against which Chairman Jones will bump his head in Chicago is found in the influence . of the western Populists with whom i,Mr . Bryan has, ljrikjrf b?eh in sym pathy, and now constituting a not ' unimportant portion of the Demod cratic party. Many pi the populists believe that Mr. Jones has failed to live np to the, agreements made at i&t; Louis. According to an alleged bargain made there, the Populists wTTl ' -were to be given several members of the Democratic executive commit tee, bnt up to. this? time; none have 'been appointed. It is safe to say ' ? that Mr, Jones wUl.be given no rest, ' night orjday, until ; some , equitable distribution of these appointments . is made. . ( jt This failure of Mr. Jones to meet v the ezpectatioua of the Populists in .the matter of committee appointments " has given rise to grave apprehension J in another respect. The agreement jnadft In. St.. Loula J? .said . toavie been that in the event of election Mr Bryan should give the Populists . 'v25 pat i eent. of all the offices to be , r filled, and now the fear is expressed on every hand that if Chairman Jones continues his present policy ho will " prevent the Populists from having any of the offices in just the same ' way as he kept them from filling any ., places on the executive committee. The Influence exerted by the PopuT lists over Mr ' Br ran can not be over estimated, ".and Hence- the . danger to hich Mr. Jones Is ex 7 posed will grow rather than o"i-mlmsb. 4 -t . in Kii i Says It Couldn'l Lead Blind Horse to Water and, OTHER NICE THINGS .

Logue passed on' the Republican executive committee before a few representatives of the press layout, using only terms of endearment. Mr. Harris' attention was called to the comments made by Judge Russell and others of his continued absence from headquarters of the committeesince their establishment. "I haven't been there and I am not going, "said Logue. "I refused to be secretary because Hoi ton was made chairman and I have no busi ness at the headquarters." "The committee does not seem to have the first particle of sense. Here yesterday they permitted that con gressional committee to name Pat Massy for Congress and it is only in the interest of Ed. Pou. The sen sible thing to do was not to' have nominated a candidate, which would have given us a chance to .effect fusion in the oounties of the district. We have no chance toelectourticket in any county except Vance. I can 't see-what they mean. It is difficult enough to make alliances anyway. I told Senator Pritchard about this very thing only a few days ago. " ''That committee has'nt got sense enough to lead a blind horse to water.-" Last night Chairman Manly sent his reply to Chairman Hal Ayer's communication of yesterday in re gard to his opposition to a restricted debate. Mr. Manly 's letter was misinterpreted ,by Chairmau Ayor and Maj. Guthrie. Mr Manly has not akid or suggested that there be a discussiuu on a part of the issues of the day, but on the other hand he wants a full and free discussion of all topics. Chairman Manly only stated in his .letter to the Populist chairman that Mr. Watson would 'discuss certain issues, naming them, but he did not attempt, nor did he have any desire to prescribeapolicy for Maj. Guthrie. Mr. Manly, in his last communica tion accepts the luvitatlon for'a jomt debate and it will be arranged im mediately. - - Maj. Guthrie cannot join Mr. Wat son in his discussion until Septem ber 4. He cannot speak at Lexing ton on the 8th owing to a previous engagement. Mr. Alexander, of the Republican headquarters, who is taking care of the McEinley and Russell clubs, says there are sixty of these clubs in Halifax county. There are sixteen in Mecklinburg.

Ho SeourosUif i 'i Proclamation ProteotfnK The following fronv- the North China News, of Shanghai, of date July 25th, shows the successor Con sul General Jernigan, of North Caro lina, tn 'protecting the works of Wes tern authors from appropriation by Chinese book-sellers. The procla nation was issued by Huang Taotai of the port of btmnghai: A Prohibitory Proclamation. have received a despatch . from the United States' consul general of this port complaining of the con duct of certain Chinese book sellers and publishers who have reproduced .by, litbogra'phy worka . on ; mathematlos by the Kev. Mr.;X?j Tlnnd tbi books on inter national "law by Dr. W.' Martin, which were originally published on the author's behalf by the American Presbyterian Mission Press, coupl ed with the information that such' conduct was, according to Western customs, contrary to law, and re questing me to see whatcan be done in this matter. With reference to this it should be remembered that the books named above were the product of much labor and individu al self-denial undergone by the au thors Ti and Ting (Dr. Martin) ow ing to which alone they succeeded in publishing them. Hence for Chinese book-sellers and publishers to reproduce these books, and sell them on their own responsibility without even an attempt to consult with the said authors, asking their consent, means the taking of undue advantage over the authors and therefore ought decidely not to be permitted. Being, on our part una ware as to who are the delinquent book-sellers, we hereby order the Shanghai and mixed court magistra tes to investigate the matter and find themoutforthe purpose having them prosecuted and fined. In addition to a dispatch reply ingto said consul gen eral, I hereby further issue this pro hibitory proclamation-for the informa tion of all Chinese book-sellers and publishers, warning them that from henceforward no one shall hereafter be allowed to reproduce for the. sake of ''fishing for' gain, any works be- onging to Western authors. Fail ing which the delinquent shall be prosecuted and fined. Do not dis obey this special proclamation! Shanghai, 14th day, tith moon, 22nd year of the reign of H. I. M. Euang Hsu (24th of July, 18.) NOT IN GOOD FAITH. Believed Pat Massy will be Taken Down I'p for Trading Purposes. The Republican congressional committee met here late yesterday afternoon at 5 pv m. and nominated P. T. Massy of Johnston county for Congress. , . . All the counties in the district were represented except Randolph, those present : J. G. Eaton, Vance. S. E. Yarborough, Eranklin. John Nichols, Wake. Waddell, Johnson. J. J. Sharpe, Nash. F. P. Jones.,oiChatham was repre sented by proxy. Mr. Massy received the vote of all members of the committee. It is no1; believed that Massy was put up in good faith. It is gener ally believed that he was put up as a decoy for trading purposes with the Populists and that he will be taken down at the proper time. "Farmer Strowd cad be brought around to the Repulican fusion way of thinking when the. campaign gets hot," said a republican this morn ing, "and then we will take Massy down when we have gotten our terms". . iJ.ook Okt forth Eelipse., 1 ' Those wise astronomers who are familiar with the planets of the solar system, tell us that there will be an eclipse of the tnoon at 12 o'clock to nlght'yho' mooDjrilU In the shadowover 'three hoiars.

" i- ' i The Hearing of tha Injunction Case Be ; : ' forejudge Simontoa. ' r. ,p ..;, 4j. , ' . Correspondence Press-Visitor, ' t.The proceeding before Judge Sim onton, of the United States circuit court, at Greenville. S. C last week, involving new applications of equity jurisprudence to the carrying busi ness of the country, has attracted the attention of the public in no small de gree: . . " 5 , Disagreements between the two great rival lines of transport tion, the Southern and the Seaboard Air Line, led to a cut by the latter of 33J per cent on all its through freight and passenger rates between Baltimore and Atlanta, and to local stations be tween said points, to take effect July 17th. . . Thereupon the Southern Freight Association, composed of all the railroads in this section exceptthose known as the "S. A. L. " and of course dominated by "the Southern, " met in solemn conclave and declared a cut of 80 per cent. ' on all their through freight and passenger rates between the same points, to take effect August 1st, but before this last named date was reached one of the members of this Southern Freight and Passenger Association, the Port Royal & Augusta Railroad, which is alseady insolvent and in the hands of a receiver, applied to Judge Simonton for an injunction against both the rival systems to restrain them from cutting rates against each other, upon the alleged ground that the effect of such reduction would be ruinous to the interests of the complainant. There was a great gathering of rail road men, and their lawyers, and a grave discussion was carried on for days, the object of which was to enlighten the conscience of the learned Judge, sitting as a Chancel lor, upon the question which troubl ed him, whether he had the right to prevent a rail road company or com bination of companies from reducing the expense to shippers and travel lers of transportation of themselves and their goods from one point to another. It was admitted that the Inter- State Commerce Commission, while it could prescribe rates which these lines should not exceed, had no power to prevent a railroad from hauling freight and ' passengers as cheaply as it might choose to do. and so, in a lesser sphere, with the State Railroad Commissions. It seems that there has been an omission from the Statute law of any such provision. The danger of a railroad charging too littte was so remote, that, like the crime of parri cide among the Romans, there was no punishment affixed to it. But in the evolution of federal jurisdiction, especially in the matter of injunctions, though no precedent night be found for just such an in junctive remedy as this, the ingen uity of Counsel, not unlike the sub tlety of theNorman lawyersof which Blackstone tells us, found in the doctrine of inventive equity a clear way to the desired end. The argument was, that while the law, by reason of its universality, might not reach the emergency, equity was ever equal to the occa sion; that the complainant, be ing already insolvent and in the hands of a receiver, was the special object of care of the court, and that it was the duty of the Court to restrain this cut of rates in order that the S. A. L. might go on and charge the public 33 per cent more than it wanted, and the Southern might not hasten itself and all its connections into the arms of a receiv er by cutting its rates 80 per cent, the example of which cut the S. A. L. had in advance declined to follow. Time and space would not permit an exhaustive review of the causes leading np to the troubles between these systems, one result of which, but for the restraining order, would have been a great saving to the peo ple in. freights andf ;-but it would seem tnat tne re, .Jtion per cent made by the S. A. L. might be a permanent one, possibly bring ing such an increase i& business as to justity the experiment.' Whereas, that of the Southern was certainly, as Mr. St' John says, an act of Hari Kari.;.: . There Is nothing new in these oc casional ruffles of competition. We have seen them all our lives. Oc casfonally the traveller : bas been sped upon his way and fed for almost nothing, and freight tariffs have been a song, but things have soon adjusted themselves and the benefit has balanced the eviL .- . If the complainant" were a stock or bond holder of one of the roads composing either system, who waa THE RATE WAR. id danger of losing the value of his stock or bond by a reckless reduc tion of rates, he would have an equity for relief, but we are at a loss to work out the strong reason for an interference by the court in behalf of corporations already broken but which might suffer more or change owners sooner because they were not able to stand the competition. Men go down daily before the ef forts of more successful competi tors. Corporations, although in the hands of receivers, have no special hedging of divinity around them. The trite saying, "competition is the life of trade, " is only a truism but where is the competition which stirs the way of commerce and stim ulates endeavor and brings reward to the successful, if all our enter prises are brought upon adead level and held in equal pace by the inven tive equity of a federal chancellor? The matter is still under advise ment, but we are persuaded that no reasoning, however plausible, can give this jurisdiction, and that the able argument of Judge Watts, the general counsel of the Seaboard Air Line, must prevail and establish that there is no such equity; that the courts have never assumed the power invoked insuchacase as this; that the "government by injunc tion" is a dangerous innovation upon the liberties of the people and that there is danger to the judicial system in the attempt to exercise such power. Let us hope that they will be per mitted to fight it out, at least until some one directly interested shall invoke the aid of the court against irreparable damage. X. WRONGLULLY ACCUSED. That is What is Thought About the Charge Against Mr. Jewall of Wife Poisoning. After spending the day in Panter Branch Township examin ing witnesses, in the alleged Jewall poisoning case, Dr. R. B. Ellis county Coroner and the jury whic h was empanelled here to hear the evidence, returned to the city last night. The jury is composed of G. L. Tonnoffski, R. H. Bradley, J. L. Ramsay, J . T. Newsom, M.J.Ed wards and W. H. Strother. The grave where Mrs. Jewall was interred was opened, and her body exposed to view so as to be identi fied according ito the requirements of the law. The grave was very shallow, the coffin having been buried only a foot or so in the ground. Decomposition had set in and M rs. J e wall's features were unrecognizable. There were eighteen witnesses in the case and only ten were examined yesterday. The examination was concluded about C o'clock in the af ternoon and continued until Tuesday of next week. The hearing was transferred to this city and all wit nesses were summoned to appear here at thecourt house. Dr. McCullers, Mrs. Britt, mother of the late Mrs. Jewall, and Miss Rosa Britt, sister-in-law, were the principal witnesses examined yes terday. It is the opinion of several gentle men who heard the evidence yester day that Mr. Jewall has been wrong fully accused. It seems that the se rious charges against him started from the story of their little six year -old girl who repeated the state ment which she'lieard her mother make after swallowing a capsule given by Mr. Jewall. Mrs. Jewall said, "Arthur, you have killed me with that capsule." Mrs. Jewall was in a very weak condition and she likely swallowed the capsule with great effort. It is the opinion of several observant gentlemen, who have studied the case, that Mrs. Jewall did not mean to convey the idea which the sentence conveys by its literal translation, but rather she spoke thoughtlessly under a tempo rary stage of fright. Tha Sew bent Fire Boys Pass Through. The Newborn' fire laddies were aboard the Chatanooga special this morning occupying their own car, which was adorned with flying streamers. On the sides of the car were large strips of cloth with the words, "Atlantic Reel Team 96." The boys were a gay lot and they were getting all the fun possible out of the trip. The official badge was a mother hubbard gown, which were of a color called fast, and a design loud. The boys paraded the platform with these emblems of exclusiveness, and head , gear to match. Noticeiable among the boys, was Thos. Daniels who is as fleet of foot as he was' of dress this morning. ? i ; ; The Newborn fire boys are a jolly set ' ; Minor Matters Manipulated for the Many.
