I' i, i . : " v t G A VOL. VI SALISBURY. N. C, THURSDAY. APRIL 13. 1893. NO. XL WASHINGTON GOSSIP. Happenings from Day to Day in' lie National Capital .Appointments In the Varions Depart ments Proceeding of tlie Senate. THE SENATE. Thrre were two speeches made in the cejnate Wednesday on the question of the adVission of senators appointed by the frovVnoTS of Montana, Washington and Wyoming, after the legislatures of those states had failed to elect. Both were made by members of the committee on privileges and elections, and were on opposite sides of the question, and the speakers were Messrs. Chandler and Palmer. At the close of these speeches .Mr. l'effer obtained the floor, and the matter went over until Thursday. At Thursday's session of the senate Mr. Peffer made an argument in opposition to the right of the senators appointed by the governors of the states of Montana, Washington and Wyoming to take their eats in tbe senate; and Mr. Hoar com menced a speech in support of a resolu tion offered by him last Monday, declar ing the proposed constitutional amend ment for the election of senators by the people of the several states inexpedient. Mr. Hoar did not conclude his speech. He yielded the floor in order to allow ac tion to bo taken on the resolution for the election of officers of the senate. The resolution was agreed to without the formality of a division after the deliv ery of some half a dozen speeches (all but one coming fTom the democratic aide) in warm commendation of the char acter, ability and efficiency of the pres ent incumbents. The resolution was agreed to electing William It. Cox, of North Carolina, secretary of the senate; Richard K. Bright, of Indiana, sergeant-at-arms, and William II. Millburn, of Illinois, popularly known as the blind preacher, their term of office to begin on the first day of the meeting of the fifty third congress, whether, in extraordinary or regular session. Mr. Hoar yielded for a motion to proceed to executive business, and after that business was dis posed of, the senate adjourned until to morrow. Each day's recurring session of the senate shows a diminishing attendance of senators. At the opening Friday the vacant chairs were much more numerous than the occupied ones. A call of the senate, however, had the result of gath ering in the chamber forty-seven senators, four more than a quorum. The resolu tion for a trip of trie committee on Com merce to the Pacific coast for the pupose of deciding on the relative advantages of San Pedro and Santa Monita for a deep water harbor, was taken up and agreed to. A resolution was offered by Mr. Voorhees and referred to the committee on.interstate commerce instructing that committee to inquire into the subject of the recent judicial decisions at Toledo, O., as to the rights and duties of railroad employes and to report whatever legisla tion may be necessary to protect the natural rights of working people. The speech begun by Mr. Hoar Thursday against the constitutional amendment for the popular election of senators of the United States was concluded by him. The senate then adjourned.

' REMARKABLE FATALITIES, Death's Carnival of Extermination of an Alabama Family. News was received at Montgomery Saturday of the remarkable fatality of a family of the came of Seagers, who live near Deatsville, in Elmore county, Ala. Out cf a family of nine or ten persons living, and in good health a little over a week ago, only three are now living, two of whom are now at the point of death, and are not expected to recover. The only members of the family who have so far escaped sickness are the mother and a daughter, the latter re siding in Montg mery. The strangest thing about the singular fatality is that they all are supposed to have died of natural causes. The family has been living at that place for sixty'years and they do not think the sickness is due to any local cause. THROUGHOUT THE SOUTH Notes 6l Her Propss and.

The Saltan's Subjects Mistreat Ameri cans and Will be Called to Taw. . A Washington special of Friday savs : The United States has taken vigorous action in regard to the outrages on American citizens at Marsovan, in the Turkish dominions, and the violation of the United States legation. The facts of the case are as follows: Oa the 16th of January last a number of seditious placards were distributed throughout the region of Marsovan and Cfflsarea, in central Asii Minor. On ac count of alleged seditious movements ex isting among Americans, . the Turkish authorities ascribed the authorship of these placards to the students of Antoba colleges an American educational insti tution at Marsovan. On the night of the 2d of February, the girls' seminary of this institution, was fired and burned to the ground. There was strong circum stantial evidence to show that this was done with the full knowledge, if not by the- direct action, of the Turkish ofii cials. The condition of the Americans in that place became so critical that the United States consul,' Milo A. Jtwett, was dispatched thither from Sivas, and the Americans of that district have been under his protection ever since.' Des patches passing between Minister Thomp son and Consul Jewett, at Marsovan, have been repeatedly violated, and form al comprint of this fact has been made oy tne American minister to the Sublime Porte. The demand for redress made to the Turkish authorities were met by counter demands on their fide, that the auegea seaiuous movements of American students should first be i TlVPftt lira for? ati? determined upon before any efforts were maae to aiscover the prepetrators ef the outrage complained of. THE PRESIDENT'S PROMPT ACTION. Secretary Gresham has cabled to Min ister Thompson, at Constantinople, a Btrong expression of the president's views on the outrage, and demanding not only prompt reparation for the burned semi nary, but the punishment of all the par ties found guilty in the matter. Minis ter Thompson is instructed that no al leged prior acts of students are to affect the rights of the government in the premises. Minister Thompson is also charged to give renewed attention to tbe matter and to dispatch a special messen ger, if necessary, to Consul Jewett, and ee to the inviolability of the official cor respondence. The minister is to act promptly and advise the department by cable. No, effort is to be relaxed in se curing the legal Tights of our citizens in Turkey. It is understood to be th pclicy of tbe United States to make this Marsovan in cident a test case in our relations with Turkey. There are at the present time more than two, hundred American citi zens residing in the Turkish empire, who have the management of property to the value of over $2,000,000. Further ad vices from Mr. Thompson are looked for at an early date. BLAZING WHISKY. A Bonded Warehouse Containing 1,200 Barrels of the Ardent Burned Oat. At Louisville, Ky., early Wednesday evening, the bonded warehouse No. 368, at the "distillery of Allen-Bradley distil lery company, together with 1,200 bar rels of whisky, was destroyed by fire. While four men were placing a barrel of whisky in one of tbe tiers of the ware house, tbe head of the barrel broke and the contents ran along the floor to a lan tern and took fire. In an instant the warehouse was in a blaze, and the men were forced to flee for their lives. When the firemen arrived the big brick warehouse was a roaring furnace. Barrel after barrel of whisky would ex plode, sending flames seventy-five feet up in the air. The fumes from the bum ing whisky were so strong that the fire-. men couia hardly go close enougn wun the hose to throw streams on the flames. Time and again the big distillery caught tire, but the firemen, at the risk of their lives, managed to save it In addition to the noise from the explosion of the 1,200 barrels of bourbon, seven thousand cattle in pens were bellowing and the roofs of the pens were on fire several times. - It took the united efforts of five fire companies to keep tbe pens from burning. The distillery of the Anderson-Nelson company caught fire, but was saved with but trifling damage. The whisky was valuel at $600,000, and was owned by over two hundred different persons, and is thought to have been well covered by insurance. The warehouse, valued at $30,000, was fully insured. The damage to the distillery in slight. ELEVEN GIRLS INJURED In a Collision on a "Switchback" Railway in Raleigh. A remarkable accident occurred Tues day at the state fair grounds at Raleigh, N. C.

TRADE REVIEW. Report of Easiness for the Past Week by Dan &Co. R. G. Dun. & Co.'s review of trade for the past week says : Speculation. has been renewed in wheat with an advance at New York of about 2 cents on sales of about 30,000 busbe's. Western receipts have been 2,300,000 bushels in four days rJrZ HDd Atlantic exports only 700,000 bushels, and the stocks in sight continue unprecedented. Corn dropped i cent and oats 1 on small transactions, while pork fell $l per bwrel; Lard 60 cents, and hogs 80 cents per hundred pounds. Cotton also declined J cent with continuing full receipts from Dlan tations, but recovered an eighth on Thurs day because of better buying at Liver pool. Coffee has declined 5-8 of a cent with small sales, copper was weiker at Hi for lake, and the tin unchanged, while lead is hardening at 4.05 cents, but the tone of the speculative markets gen erally is not enthusiastic. Boston reports satisfactory trade. Money is easier, but banks prefer to loan on eall. At Pittsburg iron is unchanged. Coal improved, and glass .very prosper ous. At Cincinnati the hat trade in creases. At Cleveland trade is better than a year ago, with relied products in large demand, but collections slow. Business is very active at Indianapolis and at De troit good. Money at Chicago is firm with large, rt quiremenis and general trade satisfac-: tory. Receipts of wheat, sheep, butter and oats exceed last year for the week, but in other products decrease appears, especially in cured meats, corn, rye.hos and wool. Trade iraprov. s at Milwaukee. At St. Paul a slight increase appears, and at Omaha trade is good. Improvement is seen at St. Louis. Collections are far better than a year ago. At Ktnsas City receipts of live stock large, and at St. Joseph both trade and collections are good. At Louisville trade is fair, but money close. At Nashville, quiet; Knoxville, not brisk; at Atlanta, fair, and at Augusta, generally dull with poor collections. At Mobile trade slightly exceeds last year, and at New Orleans business is quiet. The iron industry shows no change of consequence, con sumption and supplies appearing very closely balanced. The monetary situation is not essen tially changed. Tbe great excess of im ports over exports continues, the decrease in exports from New .York .bung $1,376,000 for tbe first week of April. Securities have been stronger. Decisions of courts in lab r controversies have given much encouragement to western buyers, but there is little evidence of foreign disposition to purchase, and un favorable crop repor s tend to discourage purchasers of stocks. The business failures occurring throughout the country during the last seven days number 223 as compared with 194 last week. For the corresponding week of last year tho figures were 208. NOTHING BUT JUDGMENTS Left for Ryan's Creditors After the Lawyers and Costs Are Paid. The lawyers in the Ryan case were en gaged at Atlanta Thursday with Re ceiver Kingsbury in dividing up the lit tle fragment of a fortune remaining in his hands. The verdict rendered in this case a few days ago settled it, as it will not be carried to the supreme court again. It makes a most interesting re cital to show the way the money has gone in this case since it opened. Al though Ryan's books, after his business went into the hands of a receiver, show ed that he owed about $950,000. Re ceiver Kingsbury realized only $306,000 in money. Out of that amount the mortgage of Claflin & Co., amounting to $115,000 was settled, leaving $191,000 in the receiver's hands. Of this amount Mr. Kiogsberry paid out for clerks and taxis, while winding up the business, about $15,000, which left $176,000, which the creditors hoped they would get. On the 14th of June last a decree was taken in court to settle the balance of the mortgages amounting to $350,000 for half the fund in court. $88,000. Thus by one stroke the mortgate holders saw $262,000 of their money sink beyond their reach and beyond redemption. That left $88,000 in Receiver Kingsbery's hands. By order of the court he paid out $5, 500 to Auditor Peeples for his service in the case, $1,800 to the stenographer, Mr. F. Cooledte, $3,000 to Clerk Tanner for court costs. $1,700 for city and county taxes, $1,000 for printing the various re ports, $12,000 to himself for bis services as receiver, $15,000 for Bosser & Caiter and other ass ciates who filed tbe bill for the receiver, and $12,000 for Calhoun, King & Spaulding, the receiver's attor neys, and their associate. These various sums amounted to $52,000, which left $36,000 in Receiver Kiagsberry's hands. Of this amount ybout $26,500 is in the Gate City National bank, and as yet can not be reached. This leaves $9,500 out side the bank, which is being distributed among the creditors who had claimed goods. When Ryan failed claims were filed for $180,000 worth of goods, which were reduced afterwards to $120,000. On ac count of these goods having Ryan's name stamped upon them, and on account of their being shop worn, C5 per cent of their value was ordered set aside, which was $78,000. These creditors represented by the $78,000 will get all the money that is left, viz: tbe $9,500 in the receiver's bands and the $26,500, in the Gate City bank. The other credi tors, whose claims amount to $280,000, will get nothing but judgements against Rran. " The 5ew Freneli Cabinet.

Juflp Vs Decision FaroraWe to tie BmtterltfGl Receiver Comer Must Make a Contract in Compliance with Court Orders. The Central railroad engineers have won in their case before Judge peer, of the United States court, to require Re ceiver H. M. Comer to sign a contract for the ensuing year with the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers. Judge Speer's decision was awaiud with great interest, for the question involved was a broad and deep one, of momentous Im portance and gravity and far-reaching in its effects. The decision gives labor or ganizations a dignity and standing in the eyes of the world and the general es timation of mankind never before pos sessed by them in eqml degree. Judge Speer rendered his decision Sat urday in the United States courtroom at Macon. There were present a large num ber of engineers, lawyers and other spec tatora. Among them a number of ladies. All listened with deep interest as the judge read his decision. He consumed about three hours in the reading. It em braced eighteen pages of typewritten copy. The decision was interesting and entertaining from beginning to end and covered the entire subj -ct. It was able, exhaustive, elaborate and complete. The judge sought to deal with both sides fairly and justly. He kept In mind the equal rights of the railroad and its em ployes. The decision csn be construed as a complete triumph for the engineers, ex cept so far as the boycott rule of the brotherhood is concerned, which forbids engineers of one road hauling the cars of a striking road. Judge Speer decides that Receiver Comer must sign a con tract with the brotherhood engineers, and with engineers not members of tbe brotherhood. Judge speer thus recog nizes the right of the brotherhood to ex istence, and, in fact, places himself on record as the friend and supporter of la bor organizations so long as they remain and operate within the law. General Superintendent Wadley and Receiver Comer refused to recognize the brother hood, but Judge Speer, by his decision, recognizes it and says that Receiver Com- r, the agent of the court, must recog nize it. z Judge Speer's decision favors the se niority service clause as affecting promo tion. Receiver Comer whs opposed to seniority. The court provides, however, that where merit and ability are equal seniority of service shall prevail, and will arrange a fair tribunal for the purpose of testing the merit and ability of various candidates for promotion with the privi lege of either party in cases not recon cilable to appeal to the court. The en gineers think that a good tribunal for testing the merit of those seeking pro motion would be the master mechanic and three engineers to be selected by the matter ' mechanic Mr. Comer thinks that on the master mechanic alone should rest this responsibility. On all other points, such as a schedule of wages, etc, which the engineers wished enhanced in the contract, Jude Speer decides in favor of the brother hood. Attorney It. W. Patterson and his clients,, the engineers, are greatly pleased with the judge's decision. So far as the boycott rule of the brother hood is concerned, the engineers expect ed Judge Speer to rule against it. and his decision in this regard is' in keeping with the recent decisions given out west. The brotherhood expect to strike the rule from their by-laws at the next na tional convention. They say they do not wish any rule on their books that the courts decide is in conflict with the laws of tbe country. They say they are a law-sbldiDg, conservative body of men, and their action and conduct in Judge Speer's court really show this In de ciding on tbe boycott rule, Judge Speer says: l4Now, there cannot be, a doubt that this rule of the brotherhood is in direct and positive violation of the laws of tbe land, and no court, state or federal, could hesitate for a moment so to decide it. It is plainly a rule or agreement in restraint of trade or commerce." A new contract will now be drawn up to be signed by Receiver Comer and tbe engineers. Io the meantime the old con tract, so Judge Speer says, remains in force. Judge Speer's decision says: "In case of any issue with tbe management in which the brotherhood or its members are connected and the members in tbe employ of the receiver shall desire to leave his service io a body or otherwise in such a manner as may in any way im pede the operations of the road, they will be required to do so upon such terms and conditions as the court may think proper for tbe protection of the in terest of the property and the maintain ance of justice and fair play to all con cerned."
