Gossip in Washington as to the Secretary ' . of, the Interior, The Washington Times of yester day says : It is believed at the de partment that the - resignation takes effect pn August 31 and that one Of the two Assistant Secretaries of Jhe Interior will probably be appointed "to succeed Mr. Smith. ' This First Assistant Secretary is Gen. William H. Sims of Mississippi, a native of Georgia, who, has special charge of all Indian matters and "public parks and reservations. Gen. Sims is ab sent from the city and has been for some time. The position of Acting Secretary in the absence from Wash ington of the Secretary has gener ally "been filled by the Second As sistant Secretary, Mr. John M. Rey nolds of Pennsylvania. His duties have specially pertained to pension matters, which form One of the most Important features in the adminis tration of the department. Gen. Sims' views on the money question are understood to be tinged with the free silver sentiment pre vailing in Mississippi. It is re garded as quite certain that the new Cabinet officer, whoever he may be, in accord with the President on the sound money question. ' The story published In the Times on Friday, anaylisring the call of the Demopopulistargentiferous trip-ple-headed machine shop, on Fif teenth street, on Thursday last, and the love feast which took place there between him and Senator Faulkner, has been talked of a good deal. It practically verrified the report of the resignation of the heavy weight secretary and showed why, in view of his desertion of the cabinet, the cabinet would probably desert him instead of President Cleveland. Mr. Smith's attempt to stampede the cab inet to silver, which is now the cor rect phrase, went off like wet Geor gia firecrackers. He is said to be absolutely impen etrable to the interviewer as to where he is to take his summber va cation, although it is rumored that he is toia&e. some stump speeches in Georgia. It wiN be a difficult un dertaking in that State, because the fiat has gone forth from People s party headquarters that Tom Wat son is to be regarded as the candi date of the Populist" party, aud down in "ole Georgia" they haven't fused yet. When Secretary Smith starts in with his argument to show why Sewair should be substituted for Watson in Georgia ho will have a mighty hard row to hoe, as they say in the saloons on Peachtree avenue, Atlanta, Ga., in which city Mr. Smith was a prominent figure before he went to New York after Cleveland's last election and told the reporters there that his name was Hoke, not Hoche, the first rival Of the great Napoleon. Notwithstanding his impenetra bility, one of-4ho clerks at Demo cratic headquarters told the Times of an open air meeting between Sec retary Smith and a member of the Silver Knight staff Saturday after noon on Fifteenth street, opposite the Treasury building. The Silver Knight man approached the Secre tary suddenly and said: "Mr. Secretary, I am glad to see that you have come out openly for the Silver party. " - ; 'I have not come out for the Sil ver part ," replied the Secretary, and with that he put both Sands into his pants pockets, Ine in each pocket, and this closed the interview. What Secretary Smith said was "probably true, but he has jsome out for the Democratic party as h terms the party or parties, or persons repre sented at the late Chicago, conven tion. -The incident, however, is the nearest in which Mr. Smith has pome to saying anything. ' i There Is another good story about Mr. Smith. It is (said that he in tended ' to do certain things that would have made him a martyr, and If there is anything that goes in the South "more than martyrdom it has not yet been discovered. . It is be lieved that Mr. Smith put the silver chip on his shoulder and dared Cleveland to knock It off, but Mr, Cleveland beinsr. fishing and having no time for this kind of acrobatic politics and , knowing it would be a good thing for Mr. 'Smith didn't care to push it along. The Presi dent knew that if he "discharged" Mr. Smith without a recommenda tion it was just the kind of recom mendation Mr. bmitn waniea. ana, therefore, the President didn't dis charge to the extent desired by the Smith conspiracy..' The President is also said to have considered the question of euphony in his determi nation'' not to turn Mr. Smith off. Martyr St John or St. Sinjin has become aBig -Ingin by reason of nersecution, but Mr. Cleveland wouldn't stand the prospect of a St. Hoke, and so th,e martyrdom idea was stii born, - , . HER THIRD ATTEMPT. Mrs. Dr. Moors, of Chatham, who Tried to .!,., Cat her Head Off, Brought Here. ,. This morning Mrs, Dr. Moore, of Moncure, Chatham county, who at tempted to commit suicide by cut ting her head off with an axe, was brought to the xaty on th,e Seaboard Air ' Line train Mrs."; Mobre was brought here by her husbaud and sister to be placed in Rex Hos pital for treatment. The lady was well dressed. r Her head was bundled with soft material, though there were no traces of wounds on her face. Dr. Moore held his wife tenderly in his arms until a patients chair could be obtained to remove her to a carriage. Mrs. Moore was perfectly conscious . The wounds inflicted are very dangerous. In inflicting the blows upon her head With the axe a piece of the skull was knocked in. " The friends of Mrs. Moore attri bute her attempt at suicido to tem porary aberration of the mind. She made two previous attempts to take her life. The last attempt oivmed last week. Dr.., Moore awoke in the night and missed his wife from the room. Ho went hunting for her and found her lying at tbo wood-pile in the yard with her head almost'split open, and the wound bleeding pro fusely. She must have arisen during the night, gone out to the wood-pile, and tried to decapitate herself. The theory is that she lay down with her neck on a stick of wood and then let the sharp blade of the axe fallou her head. If the blow had been harder and the aim a trifle truer, it is said her head would have been almost split in halves. S0M ETHING OF A LIFTFR Charles Cooler Made Things Disappear Where Ue Went.

This Week More Favorable, Kain Fall Causing Some Improvement In Crops. The 21st weekly crop bulletin for the past week issued by the Agri cultural Department yesterday after noon is given below: ; f'The week ending Saturday, Au gust 22d, 1896, was more favorable for crops and especially for farm work than any since the middle of July. The -first two days of the week continued warm, but on the 18th very beneficial rains occurred at a large number of places, follow ing which the temperature dropped below the normal, .with some agree ably cool nights. The rain-fall was not sufficient to break the drought generally, but caused some improve ment in the crop conditions. Central District The hot spell was broken on the 19th and cooler, pleasant weather followed, which was more beneficial to those pulling fodder and picking cotton than to crops. Scattered rains occurred on Tuesday, but many counties remain entirely dry and experienced further decline in crop conditions. Cotton is still shedding in places; is open ing fast, especially on sandy land, lint is short, and the crop generally a great disappointment. In many places fodder is all saved; not much will be made from late corn. Tobac co is generally poor and not curing so well, though it seems to be all right in color, and the crop is earlier than usual. Peas and potatoes are needing rain. Some farmers have begun to make sorghum molasses. Soil not fit for plowing. The "Birthday Fete."

The Coroner's jury in the Jwall case decided this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock after being out an hour not to hold a post mortem examination J Theveadictof the jury is given below. 1st. We do not believe the evi dence sufficient to justify c post mortem examination. 2nd. We do not believe that the evidence1 is sufficient to say other wise than that the deceased, Mrs. Mary Jewall came to her death through a combination of diseases. The following citizens of Raleigh composed the jury: Geo. L. Tonnotf- i, J. L. Ramsay, J. D. Newsom, M. J. Edwards, W.; F. Strother, R. HBradley.

FURTHER CUT IN RATES. Steam Packet Company Meets the Rates Made Saturday by the Southern's Line. A special from Norfolk says : The Baltimore Steam Packet company today announced that it has met the cut in freight rates made by the Baltimore, Richmond and Chesa peake company, the Southern rail way's new Bay line, and the Mer chants' and Miners' Transportation company. Passenger rates which have al ready been cut in half by the Old Bay line are further reduced 33 per cent.
