" The orators and their subjects were Mr EB Owen "The movement of population to cities," Mr A R Kennedy "some ijoethe (fleets," Mr AC Cohoon "The true Kl Dorado" and Mr V B Rumseur "an optimistic glance at the twentieth century . " When the orators concluded, the judges, Rev Dr M M Marshall, R H Battle, Esq., and Mr Josephus Dan iels, retired to make their decision. When they returned, Mr Battle an nounced their decision, and in a few well chosen words presented the medal to .vl r A E Cohoon of Klizt beth City.

No one was badly hurt and nodeadly weapons were used Washington Letter, From our regular correspondent. Wahiumitini, D C. February 18 Nothing short of absolute iiroof that the sinkingjof the battleship Maine in Havana Laroor and the drowning of more than 250 of its crew - a catas trophe that will cause a shudder of horror to pass over every American every time Havana harbor is men tioned for many years to come was caused by an accidental explosion on board of tho Maine will save Spain from the licking it h is been inviting for some time at the hands of t'le United States In view of the reports that have reached this ountrv from time to time of boasts made by Spaniards in Havana since the Maine weut th- re, that at the first intimation of. war betwet n Spain and the United States tbey were pre pared to blow the Maine to atoms with torpedoo-, and of the treachery of the late Spanish minister towards is great and good friend, Mr. Mc- Kinley, it is not surprising that the suspicion that the destruction of the Maine was the result of Spanish treachery should be expressed by more than half the men one meets. nation that ciuld deliberately plan to surround the house of a Cuban with several regiments of troops and coolly shoot down an old man and his children, in order to kill a Cuban officer, whose sweet heart was the daughter of the old man, as the Spaniards recently did in Cuba, would not hesitate to use any sort of treachery to destroy a warship of a nation it both feared and hated. Mr McKinley professes to regard these suspicions with hor ror, and expresses the belief that the investigation now being made will show them to be without found ation It is to be devoutly hoped that his belief will be justified by the result of the investigation, for if it isn't Spain will not only be driven out of Cuba, but will be in dangerof being driven out of exister.ee as a nation, by relentless Americans bent on revenge. Fraternal Auditorium. About 1873 there was a movement here for the Masonic temple and i great excavation was made for it tn the south eastern cornerof the block on which are the postoflice and court house. It was to cost $50,000. But the plan fell through and after standing liie a monument to failure for nearly twenty-five years toe 1'uiien ouiioing was put up on the site. There is now little prospect for a temple and per haps the third floor of the Holleman building will continue to be used for many years as the meeting place of the grand lodge. The various secret orders here ought to be united by having a building of their own, with special auditorium for use on spe cial occasions. Col Olds in Orphans Friend. Paris, Feb. 19.

Five out of twenty-six in the Havana hospital have died and eleven are seriously wounded. No Accident. By Telegraph to Press Visitor. 'Nkw Yoiik, Feb. 1!'. The Even-, ing Sun's Havana special cable sent on the Mangrove recites many suss pieious facts in connection with the destruction of the Maine, saying that Havana was in a state of terror. A boat with two men in it rowed near the Maine tbn eduys before the accident, and another boat, going across the harbor, found itself tang led in a lot tit wires which seemed t) come from the direction of the Maine. The press ever since the accident has been publishing long stories to prove the accident theory. The Havana harbor is filled with mines, and every thing points to tl e explosion coining from outside. Separate Im cstigation. fly Telegraph to Press-Visitor. Wasiiinuton, Feb 19.

The forecast for Raleigh and vicin ity of the weather bureau says rain tonight and Sunday ; probal.ly cold nortbeast to east winds. The low barometer still occupies the lower Mississippi valley and has prevented the cold wave from the northwest from moving southward. The temperature at Bismarck has risen 28 degrees since yesterday morning. Cloudy weather, with rain, pre vails almost over theculire country, with snow in the upper Mississippi and lower Missouri vallevs. The heaviest rain was 2.14 inches at Wilmington. The high area has moved north of tho Lake region and may move down to the north Atlantic coast to morrow. llr. Uogg's Opinion. Dr. Thomas D. Hogg, of this city who is one of the best informed men in the country, says that lie lias no doubt but that the Maine disaster was an accident. He says thai the explosion was caused by fire damp, the same thiDg that causes the ex plosions in coal mines. Some coal gas from the engine evidently found its way to the magazines or near them and became ignited by contact with some combustible substance In his opinion this disaster puts an end to navies and wars. Inven tions have already rendered war out of the question. This talk of war, he says, exists only with the politi cians and some newspapers. War now would mean such a terrible de struction of life aud property that neither the humanitarian or com mercial interests of any country can afford to go into a war. Havana could be blown to pieces and the in habitans never I: now from whence the disaster came, and the same might happen to our coast, cii ics. A Catfish Storj. Mr. J. W.

Several members of Raleigh coun cil Jr O U A M, will attend the ses - sions of the State counsil of the order, which will begin in Salis bury next Tuesday. The repre sentatives of the local council are W K Faison, John Bridgers, Thos Blake and W R Kenoett. The order has grown rapidly in North Carolina duringthe pastyear, the membership having doubled since the hist meeting of the State council. It is thought probable that the Asheville delegation will urge this city's claims as the place of meeting for the State couucil next year, but since the council has met two years in the west it may come east, possi bly to Raleigh. The local delegates are anticipat ing a gala time at the annual meet ing of the grand council this time. On that day United .-slates flags will be hoisted over two public school buildings. President Mclver, of the State Normal, Greensboro, Rev. AG. Thomas, of Fayetteville, and other well knowu members of the Order have been invited and areex pectcd to be present and make ad dresses. REWARD INCREASED. Ex Federal HolJicr offers Sin for He facer of .Monument. As yet the person who defaced the Confederate monument has not been captured, but the people have not lost any of their indignation over the matter. It will be remembered that Mr W C Strouach and others offered re wards amounting to $50 for the dis-. co very of the perpetrator of the outrage. To show the deep interest which the people of Raleigh take in the matter the following is an example. An ex-federal soldier of this city to day came to Mr Stronach and told him that bo would increase the re ward already o'fered by 410. Shortly afterward an ex confederate soldier, who cannot, spare a dollar without sorely missing it, came and informed Mr Strouach that he wanted to in crease the reward by adding $1.00 more.
