By Telegraph to the Presg-Vlaitor.
Beookltn, Nov. 9. The United
States battle-ship Texas while lying
at the Gob dock .nary yards early
today had a thirteen Inch hold stove
in her side caused by the breaking
of a seacock. , She now lies at the
. bottom of the dock with the engine
room (all of water. The Chapman
. derrick and wrecking company were
" notified to send 'tugs to raise hef.
, Naval constructor Bowie' was earl;
- on the scene and under his direction
the work ot raising the Texas pro-
gresaed In a methodical manner.
Persons fn charge of the navy yard
are reticent as to the causes which
led to the "accident. Investigation
j by the wrecking company showed
that at 5:45 this morning the, pres
;. sure was too muchior, the plug and
' forced the seacock in. The engineer
- and fireman thought at first that the
vessel had only sprung a leak. They
pulled the bell and. set' the siren
whistle going. It 'signalled ''stand
"by your watertight doors, and close
thn." The men were doing , regu
lar Monday morning washing and
were quick to act. These are fifty
ot these doors. In an engagement
a man will be standing at each door
ready to close it against, the sea
which might come in through any
break made by the enemy's shot
In less than threepinutes after the
siren had given the signal every one
of the watertight doors was closed
as tluhttts a-drum, The doors are
iron, eight inohes tnlck. ' The best
of discipline was maintained,' Owing
to the removal of a flange about the
condenser the sea had freer play.
The flumps were started but Soon
had to be stopped owing to the flood
of water, which also put out the fires..
The water filled. the 'hold, then the
berth deck and the lower gun deck,
covering the cylinder and the en
gine." After five minutes the Texas
began to sink, settling in-the mud,
The stern is three feet lower than
the bow. The latter is sunk six feet

Rev. E. W.' Smith, D. ,D., son of
. the venerabTfc Dr. J. Henry Smith,
' pastor of . the First Presbyterian
church of Greensboso, is editor of
the Greensboro Presbyterian.. In
his paper of a few days ago he has
an article arraigning the .'modern
. dance, " and quotes testimony from
.- the Roman Catholic Priesthood as to
.the moral tendency j)f dancing. In
. the course of Mr. Smith's article he
sayst - : '
The priests of the Roman Catholio
Church have poured into their ears
through the confessional the secrets
; of the human heart. No other class
of men on earth have such opportu
nities Of learning the' secret begin
. nings of sin. With this fact In mind
consider the deliberate testimony of
Archbishop Spalding, of New York;
that "nlQeteen-twentletha of the
women who fall take their first step
in dancing parties." i'
- The weak point in Mr. Smith's
position and In the Authority which
he quotes is that the facts do not
' " warrant the premises Of the evils
which are nictured so far as this
'part of the country is concerned.
" There Is no reason or logic in ran
dom references to 'fallen women
f who have not fallen. The nineteen
'. "twentieths ratio may apply In New
York, but it does not apply to South
..- era - wemen. Thav history of ball
'scorns in the South . has developed
" no such results as above referred to
and the illustration of evil conse-
. "quences does not apply to the type

be seen in all its purity and innocent

MAI BE A DUEL.
Blackburn, of Kentucky, and L6saa Car
llaa Mar Meat..
By Telegraph to the Press Visitor.'?
: Washington, D. C.jTNov. 9.-rSen
ator Blackburn and. Chief Clerk of
Treasury Logan Carlisle may" settle
their differences by the code. This
is the talk, at least, , among the men
who know; both of these Kentuck
iaus, ',..' . f "y,V ''.
Blackburn has 1 not returned to
Washington Binoe Logan Carlisle's
letter declaring a negro Blackburn 'a
superior. Friends were still in
sisting that-hoatilities between the
two men were probable because of
that incident, when tha announce
ment was made that Logan, as, chief
clerk of the .Treasury Department,
had discharged from the Federal
service', Blackburn's nephew, Agent
Adams, and later Miss Minnie Mc
Millin, a sort of protege of Black
burn, in whose career the Senator is
Credited with having taken a keen
interest.
That action added fuel to the flames
of Blackburn's wrath, and his inlL
mates here declare that when he
meets Logan he will express himself
in a way which Logan will feel oblig
ed to resent. Should Blackburn do
so there is no doubt that Logan will
do the resenting act without delay..
He is a.cool, nervy son of Ken
tucky and would have no more hesi
tation in slapping Blackburn's face
than he had in discharging clerks
whom Blockburn indorsed. .
It is thought that whileBJackburn
has let a previous slap from another
go unnoticed he would be compelled
to resent such an attack from Logan,
even f though he himself provoked
the assault.
Ever since Senator Blackburn has
bees in publio life he has had the re
putation of being very hotheaded
and has been, engaged in a number
of brawls.
Some years ago Blackburn figured
in a notable brawl, with Senator
Chandler of New Hampshire., The
trouble occurred in a committee room
over the phraseology of a report
they were preparing.9 Hot words
were used on both sides and it was
said that Senator Blackburn pulled
Senator Chandler's ears, so .hard
that he dragged him out of his chair.
Senator Chandler's friends denied
that there had been any ear pulling
but Senator . Blackburn never did,
and the ear-pulling story was gener
ally accepted as true.

; ELECTION RESULTS
W1U not bo Caavaaaad Till Thanksgiving
..' " ' Iaangoratloa Data. e
, There is no canvassing board this
year to canvass the resultof the vote
in this State. The new election law
abolished that feature of the ? old
law. ' The' , various clerks of the
court are' required, 'however to for
ward the 'vote. In their respective
counties for state, judicial and con
gressional officers to the secretary of
state bv Thursday following - the
third Monday after the election.
This date happens to be Thanks
giving day, the, twenty-sixth. The
returns from the various counties
will be ppened then and the vote
tabulated. A number of clerks will
be put at work In order that the re
sult of the vote for the various offices
may be known at once. The vote of
legislative and county officers is not
included. ? :
A peculiar fearture of this election
is the failure to secure the majorities
of the various candidates who were
elected to state offices. A bet was
made as late as today that Mason was
elected Governor, but it is im
possible to decide the waf;er. The
most popular bet of the election is
that Bryan's majority in this State
will be larger than McKinley's All
the money put up on the result in
the State will have to lay in soak un
til Thanksgiving day.
The vote-received by the presi
dential candidates in the State will
be known next Saturday. The law
requires that thevote for electors
6hall be sent to the Secretary of
State within twelve days after elec
tion. Chairman Ayer thinks fusion is a
good thing some times, but he is dis
gusted with fusion with Democrats.
"We don't want any more fusion
with Democrats, "the chairman said.
They failed to deliver thnir goods
in the national contest, otherwise
Bryan would have been elected."
Mr. Ayer declined to say whether
there would be any more trading
with Republicans-
Secretary Hyams is now in full
charge at republican headquarters.
He will remain here until the 20th.
Mr. Hyams has received additional
news as to the election of candidates
for the legislature and he gave out
his latest figures today. He says
the republicans have fifty -two mem
bers of the house and seventeen
members of the senate. The strength
of the populists and republicans is
not known at republican headquart
ers. The election this year is by far
the most costly one ever conducted
in this State. It is impossible to get
at the amount that it has cost the
voters of the State. The Secretrry
of State sent out 1,000 registration
and 1,000 poll books, beside a great
abundance of other blanks and
printed matter.
Governor-elect Russell will not be
naugurated until the 29th of Janu
ary. rseitner win tne otner oiate
officers recently elected take the
oath of office until that date. The
Legislature of '93 changed the date
of the governors' inauguration to
the third Wednesday after the first
Monday in January.

Judge Fnrclies Rendered ftis
MR. HENRY APPEAtS.
Judge Holds That Morrow Acted Kightly
and That tha Plaintiffs Will Haveio
firing Quo Warranto Proceed-
iocs to Seek Kadrese: V
Judge Furches rendered his de
cision this morning in, the election
case, regarding the vote in Pineyille
preci.net. No. 2 of Mecklenburg
county. He decided agajnstJ,;'tne
Populists and Republicans who
brought act:on to restrain Clerk of
the Court Morrow from OQunting the
vote -in Pineville precinct, Jidge
Furches held that the plaintiff should
institute quo warranto preceedings
to decide whether there had bsen
any irregularities or not. The Vote
in Pineville if thrown out would
change the result in Mecklenburg
county in favor of tne fusionits, j
Mr. Walter R. Henry, attorney
for the plaintiffs gave notice of ap
peal before the full bench
Upon a full consideration of this
matter, Tarn of the opinion that, the
restraining order heretofore granted
should be vacated and the motion for
an injunction shmildbe denied. But
n thus holding I do not find that
there had been nb irregularities, in
timidations, or frauds committed on
the election in precinct No. 2, Pine
ville township. It is not necessary
that I should ' undertake to decide
these questions, nor do I think I
have the poVer to do so in this pro
ceeding. My opinion is that registrars and
judges of election, should be resi
dents of the precinct for which they
are appointed. But when they are
regularly appointed, the law pre
sumes they are rightfully appointed,
and that they are residents of the
precinct for which they have been
so appointed. If they are not. the
law provides the means by which
this may be tried and judicially de
termined.. ;?v -' .
That no citizen or voter has the
right to take the matter in his own
hand, t nd by fraud, violence, intim
idation or other unlawful means at
tempt to correct such mistake, if one
has been made. If this were al
lowed, free elections and free gov
ernments would soon be at an end.
That no citizen had the right to
undertake to correct such mistake,
if one had been made, by officiously
running the township lines, "and
filing his report with the board,"
acting in the discharge of their du
ties as registrars or judges of elec
tion. And if any person by such
acts, or by threats of violence or
threats of indictment, or other un
lawful means, did intimidate such
registrar or judges, and by such
means did interfere with them in
the lawful discharge ot their duty, as
such registrars or judges, they have
violated both the criminal and civil
law of the state And in my opin
ion, neither the state nor the indi
vidual who may have been injured
thereby are without remedy. But
it is not in this proceeding.
I am in full sympathy with what I
understand to be the spirit and
meaning of the election law of 1895
a free and fair election and a fair
and honest count. And while I
would not consider it my duty to
sustain every technical objection
that might be made to the manner of
executing this law,if I saw that sub
stantial justice had been done and a
free expression ol t the qualified
voters ' had been obtained, but
would feel it my duty to exert all
the powers I have to prevent fraud
and intimidations ot any kind. But
it seems to me from the affidavits
filed in this proceeding that this
trouble has probably arisen from the
fact that two negroes were appointed
registrars ia this township." And
while it Is not forme to say whether
they should have been appointed or
not, and I do not say whether mey
should or should not have been ap
pointed, but I doay that under the
constitution and laws of this State
the negro is a legal elaetor and is
entitled to accept and hold the office
of judge ot registrar of election, and
to exercise and perform the duties
appertaining to the same' And the
time baa passed (if it ever existed)
in North Carolina, when he can be
illegally interfered with and pre
vented from discharging his duties
as such officer, on that account.
But it is my opinion .that the du
ties of a clerk in tabulating the vo'e
of an election, and in announcing the
result, are ministerial duties. And
that it is his duty to tabulate and
compute all such votes as come to
him through the regular channel
prescribed by law, unless it shall
appear upon the return itself, that it
is in fact not the return of said pre
cinct for which it purports to be. In
such case be should refuse to count
it, unless he shall be directed to do
so by an order of a judge of the Su
perior court or the Supreme court
Upon an examination of a certified
copy (not objected to by plaintiff) of
the return of the election in this
precinct to the defendant, I cannot
say that it contains such inherent
and patent, defects as would have
authorized the clerk to reject it un
der the rule I have stated; and this
being so it was his duty to tabulate
and count the same.
Therefore the restraining order
heretofore granted in this case is
Vacated, and the motion for a perma
nent injunction is denied -
That the defendant J. M. Morrow
will at once proceed to count said
vote as the law directs, and the same
as if no restraining order had been
issued in this proceeding. That
the defendant will recover his costs
of the plaintiff E. McDonald.

Kentucky's Vote is Split.
A late dispatch from Louisville
says :
McKinley certainly has twelve of
Kentucky's thirteen electoral votes.
The last edition of the Evening
Times estimates McKinley's plural
ity in the state at 648. The Post's
estimate is over 100 more.
The official count in most every
county heard from shows that Kast,
the first Republican, and Smith, the
first Democratic elector, lead their
tickets by from fifty to 100 votes,
and this insures Bryan one elector.
