C.,' Dec 15. : There U a great deal more la the . announcement that the republican members ol the House committee on Ways and Moans have begun work --on the tariff biU which the are to attempt to pass at the extra session , of the next congress to beheld' early in the spring, and that the commit tee are to grant hearings to manu . facturers at onoe .than appears upon the surface. - There are -reasons', to believe that this announcement was hurried up as a part of the plan to . elect republican senators enough this winter to make a majority for i that party,"- The republican Steer ; 'ing committee of the Senate succeed ed in getting Mr,;- Hanna to under-,- take this job of electing Senators in ' Kentucky, " North Carolina, .South I Dakota ani Washington and every body knows that the only lever Mr. JEIanna,' relies upon for success is money.; By giving. the men who ex pect to get big profit -through the : protection of a Republican tariff bill hearings before the committee they can be shown that they are to, get what they want and thus be put into the humor to furnish what Mr. i Hanna wants inere cash. , . The populists in congress; are- a little shy about expressing for pul llcation any opinion about the rum- put between Senator; Marion Butler and Tom Watson, but it is plain that " some of them, especially those from the south, believe that ' Butler ill have to do something to ehow his resentment or ipse his influence with the populists, of that section. A Georgian, who is not a populist, said about the recent phase of It: -"There .were fighting words in that signed article of Watson's and when I was a young man it wouldn't have been , a question of publishing a similar attack upon the-; other party.- To have said that man tells , an un ' truth merely for ;the casual pleasure ' of having"; deceived, would have meant duelling pistols and an "early morning meeting in the - vicinity . of JHadensburg in .the good old days, " There hfno Ktaihat Bvtler will do anything more than to call Watson another. ' If MoKlnley is half as wise as his admirers think him to be he will quickly let it be known among the republican Senators that Proctor, of Vermont, is not to be the adminis tration leader in the Senate of the nex$ Congress, a position now assigned- him by rumor. Seneator Proctor Is a nice enough man in his way, but" he has not, either as a member of Harrison's Cabinet, or as Senator, shown any of the qualities needed for successful -leadership, V and there is no reason to believe that he possesses them, " There are already a number of republican Sen ators who do not feel over 'cordial " towards McBlnley, and if he Isn't ' very careful, he ; will be in hot water almost as soon as he is in the White House. Pardon a Ma a Coavioted on Ciraant ataatlal Evidence.' Gov. Carr recently pardoned Hen ry 8mith, 4rf : Asheville : and thus ended a strange case of circumstan tial evidence, Smith,' while working on the railway in Davidson: county, passed the bouse of a 'man named Ellington, and next day all of Elling ton's money, 11,200. was missing, Smith was arrested, tried,' and sen tenced to twelve years in tbe peni tentiary. - Last week the' money , whioh Smith - was ; charged w with stealing was found in possession of Ellington's son; who during a arun ken spree had taken and , hidden It. He forgot where he had- placed It, but discovered it by accident and CAVA the monev 40 his father, who at once reported the facts to Gov, 'Carr. . ..- .

BRADLEY AGAIN: Ha Says the Governor Haa tbe Bight to , Appolat. - By Telegraph to the Preas-Visitor. Frankfort, Kr.; Dec. 15. Gov ernor Bradley has given out a sign ed statement on the subject of the power of an extra session to 011 Ins vacancy of the otfloe of Senator, jue also states the right of the Governor to appoint, On the latter point he says: "The right of the Governor to supply by appointment a vacancy occasioned by the expiration of a term has been sustained by such eminent statesmen as Harrison, Hoar, Cameron, Allison, Dawes and others. This right was recognized up to August, 1896, when Senator Man tle and others were denied seats. The Senate reversed . the former ruling over the protest of such emi nent men as Frye, Morgan, Hawley, Sherman, Teller and Hill. It is true that the Senate is the sole judge of the qualification of members, but as to Whether the last ruling over that prevailing 100 years preceding will be adhered to Is a question of grave doubts." Moody Wanta Dixon to Teach Evangelists The New York Journal says at the end ot his great meetings in New York Mr. Moody told of a hope he had that there would be instituted in New York a class meeting dally for Bible study : He had founded such a class in Chicago In 1889, which continues, and New, York is a greater field; ; He suggested the formation of that class under the leadership of Rev. A. C, Dixon, of the Hanson Place Baptist church, in Brooklyn5 There iras applause, and when a show of hands was called for on Mr . Dixon's election to this office the vote was unanimous. "But it means putting your hands in your pockets, as well as in the air," Mr, Moody said. ; "It wUl take money and lots of it." " Salvtnl Dead. ' By JPable to the Presa-Visitor.. " v " Rome, Deo. IS.

"V - EVANGELINE TOMORROW Pair Weather Tor ifie Great Attraction at the Academy. . : Fair weather and a pretty day has been guaranteed by Col. Von Herrman for the greatest theatrical event of the season, "Evangeline," sweet ."'Evangeline" comes to the Academy of Musio tomorrow. The company will contain the original New York cast and a superbeborus. The music Is pronounced by critics the most charming ever written, the jokes and bon mots are new and the bright sayings paralyze even the Lone Fishermen,, who now and then pulls out a ton of fish amid roars of applause. The entire extra vanganza Is filled with choicest humor. George K" Fortesque," one of the leading metropolitan singers and. oomedianB, who tips the scales at 310 pounds, "is. with the company. BL.H. Harris plays the "Lone Fish erman and is undoubtedly one of the greatest actors on the "stage. Mr. Harris gets $100 per week and he does not speak a word throughout the entertainment Last summer Henry E. Dixey, of "Odonls" fame, Undertook to take Mr. Harris' part. In ten days Dixey went to Harris and told him that he was without an equal. Dixey gave it up. The seats have been made within reach of every One. They arc now on sale at King's. In Metnoriam. A chivalric heart has ceased to beat, a tender and loyal soul has humbly and fearlessly gone to meet its maker. It is but the simple truth to say that no young man in North Carolina has ever endeared himself .more to the people of all classes, races and localities than Thomas R. Ransom, who died at his father's home in Northampton county on Saturday, November 14th, 1896. He was born in the house in which he died at Verona, his moth er's ancestral some, on August 3d, 1803, just a few days after the little j battle at Boone's Mill, which took place in thn immediate vicinity and in which Fi-deral shells fell all about the yard." ( Hd received the first elements of nstrUction at his mother's knee, and afterwards attended the school of Professor (now Reverend) Charles Fetter,' at Jackson. He completed his academic education in the excel lent institution of Prof. Young at Washington. These capable educa tors havealways cherished the warm est admiration and affection for their favorite pupil. When young Ran som joined the University of North Carolina as a Freshman from the first he took a prominent place in college life, and duringhis first year was elected to an important college office. Some time thereafter wnen, tor some infraction of college discipline (frankly and manfully avowed, and all his associates in the act carefully shielded,) he was suspended, at a meeting of the entire body of stu dents held for that purpose resolu tions were unanimously passed re questing the faculty to re-instate him. He efterwards attended GeorgetownUniverslty and graduat ed from that venerable institution with distinguished honors. He then completed the course of the Law School at the University of North Carolina. Soon after finishing his education he became Clerk to the Senate Committe pn Private Land Claims. and demonstrated in this broader field his character, and ability, and ; especially -his rare magnetism in winning tne anections of everybody. By Senators with whom he was thrown in contact- such men as Edmunds, Lamar and Gorman, he was most warmly es teemed, and they became bis life long friends. To all North Carolini SD jlrawn to Washington by busi ness or pleasure, Mr. Kansom was especially obliging, never tiring in his attentions, and his exquisite old-fashioned courtesy won all hearts. In 1891 he located in Ashe villa in the practice of his -prof es slon and maintained bis 'position at bar the ability of which ia not sur passed in North Carolina or else Where. ?; In 1895 he went to North amptoncounty, and rabidly came to the front as a successful and popu lar lawyer. Early in November symptoms of pneumonia 'developed and despite every possible atten tlon, after a short Illness he passed to his last reward.-; , - Such Isthecomparatively unevent ful record of a noble life. - Tom Ransom filled bo great space in the public eye; his life was largely spent in sewing others.' His independent career of great promise had barely begun. Wherever he went he car ried sunshine with nlm. He was generous to a fault, ; manly,': true to every conviction of duty, brave and aymjthete.:"v'.-''''r.i'-;! The outpouring at his f urneral was noticeable and f very person present had some new instance to mention of his kindness of heart, could recount some generous act or sympathetic word. - What he was to his home circle cannot be - told in words. A considerable fend loyal brother, the tenderest and most lov ing son that was ever enshrined in the hearts of devoted parents, he died in thfe communion of the Epis copal church. God rest his faith ful soul. B. Stuart Robson Thursday: "Madam Mongodln" was a farce from the pens of two able4 French writers, and when prpduced in Paris Ead a threeyearsbig success. Burnand, one of London's ablest writers, saw the play and adapted it to the the English speaking stage under the title of ''Mrs. Ponder bury's Past." It los,t none of its French humor under the handling of this adaptor and it gained much wit. Londoners gave It a hearty welcome, but it won no greater ap proval from theatre goers in the Eu ropean cities than it did last spring when first produced to a New York audience by Stuart Robson, who makes it the chief production of his repertoire this season. ' Mr. Robson in conjunction with Madame Jau neschek, the tragedienne, will be seen in "Mrs. Ponderbury's Past" on Thursdayeveningatthe Academy of Music. Prefacing this three act comedy, will be a one act farce, en titled Mr. Oilman's Wedding, a hu morous story with a direful train of events which have a happy ending. An Operetta at Peace. On Friday evening, the eighteenth, the children's singing class of Peace Institute will give an operetta, the plot of which is based upon ihe old fairy story of Rumpelstilskin. The music and the words, are by Alfred Scott Gatty. Most of the musio has been learned by the Holt system of numeral sight rending, and it has been very interesting to sec the lit tle pupils adapt the word -to music memorized in a fashion which would puzzle many a "grown up." The cast is as follows: King Cole. Mr. Mitchell; Rumpelstilskin, Mr P McGregor; Jane, the miller. Miss E Durham; Janette, the miller's wife, Miss Bruce Carr; Sophia, the mill er s daugnter, aiterwaras wue oi King Cole, Miss Pattie Carroll; Goldstick, -a court official, Miss E. Steiometz. Fairies: Misses Mary Briggs, Lotta Watson, Roberta and Shannie Daniel, Margie and Llllie Ferrall, Pauline Hill, Edith and Cary Tuttle, Harriet Haywood, Mat tie Lee Mclver and Loula McDonald, assisted by Messrs Arthur Mitchell, Fab Briggs, Charles McDonald, Dave Bosh, Ben Lacy, James Higgs, Rufus McAden, Talcott Brewer, B. Ray, Charlie Watson . Grand LoJge of Colored Masons. James H. Young, editor of the Gazette, was elected Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Masons at. its recent meeting in Edenton, succeed ing Congressman George H. White. This is the highest honor within the gift of the colored Masonic order, which has 75 lodges in the State. The Grand Lodge decided to start an endowment department this year by collecting an annual fee of one dollar. -Formerly the lodge had an endowment feature but it was not altogether successful. Grand Master Youlig tells us that the lodge pro poses to raise at least $1,000. The colored Masons of Mississippi nave an endowment feature which yields $5,000 annually. Ex-Qovernor Brogden's Farm Fired. A fire on Ex-Governor Brogden's farm on the 11th Inst, says the Goldsboro Argus destroyed 20 stacks of his hay before it could be arrest ed. The field Is large containing upwards of 800 acres, and the grass was so thick and drv that the fire swept over about 200 acres in a short time and did considerable damage. The Gov. thinks that hunters fired the grass by shooting birds, as they were seen in the field with guns. Capital Lodge I- O. O. F. Capital Lodge, No, 146, 1, 0.

Tuesday she asked her husband for mnnev and was firiven $18. With this she boarded the train for Hick orv. telllnff the conductor she was only going to that point. At Hick ory she asked the station agent about the price of a ticket to Baltimore and how many changes' she would have to make to get there.

''Her husband knew nothing of her leaving until he went to supper Tuesday night. Mr. Covftgton passed through Hickory Wednesday in search of his wife. No cause can be assigned for the woman 'estrange behavior." Mr. Covington traced his wife to Baltimore and there found her. Her mind had become temporarily un balanced.

Conference to Meat with Edea ton street Church Mr. Tattle to Leave. - The Methodist conferenceadjourn ed Sunday morning after a most suc cessful conference meeting . The committee 'on periodicals mad its report and recommended that the conft rince indorse the North Caro Una Advocate as an organ of tbe conference. The committee also recommended that Rev. T. N. Ivey be appointed as one of its editors. The conference decided to hold their next session in Edenton Street church in this city. Before adjourn ing Bishop Wilson announced the appointments for the coming " year. Below are the appointments for the Raleigh district: E A Yates, Presiding Elder. Raleigh Edenton street, W C Norman. Raleigh -Central Church, E C Glenn. Raleigh City Mission, supplied by R H Whitaker. Cary circuit J W Jenkins. Clayton circuit J T Draper. Smithfield circuit W J Crowson. Kenly circuit H M Jackson.

The congregation is to be congratulated upon being so for tunate as to secure Rev MrGJenn. This gentleman was a successful banker in Greenville, but gave up business life to enter the ministry. Upon inquiry we learn that there was little opposition at the confer ence to the university. The con ference was opposed to the state offering free tuition but to the state appropriation.

This evening at four o'clock the committee in charge of Sunday schools will meet. There will be several very important changes in the Sunday school department. YOUNG A STOCKHOLDER. Mr. N. B. Broughton Transfers His Stock of a School at Auburn to Jim Young. A good story reaches the Durham Sun concerning N. B. Broughton, of Raleigh, who was defeated for the legislature in the recent election by James H. Young, colored . Mr. Broughton owned some stock in a school at Auburn, in Wake county. A few days ago he told the other stockholders of the school that they could have his part of the stock. They wrote him or told him not to do that, but to still keep his stock in the school. Mr. Broughton then informed them that as they voted for Jim Young he would transfer the stock he owned to Young, which he did. So Jim Young is now one of the stockholders in a white school In this State. We wonder how the citizens of Auburn relish this little transfer made by Mr. Broughton ? Of course if they preferred to vote for .Young instead of Broughton they ought to be able to stand it and rather' re joice at the change than otherwise. Rev. William Warren Albea, Win ston's oldest citizen, is dead. H was the oldest Methodist .minister in the state. , . - V ''-"I I - 'I'l.l. f 4 i ... . if-1
