The result of this will be quite contrary to what tbe Club and Fitzaimmons hoped for. Fitzsimnions, as the holder f the Club's championship, will have to defend it against all comers and of course Corbett wiii hare his undentudy, Steve O'Don nJJ. challenge titzsimmons ami he ., il hare nothing else tp.do but accept, which will be exactly tbe pcograroe that Mr. Corbett desires carried out.

A Barg:ar Proof Safe Wrecked by Crooks Paper Money Torn to Pieces Vault a Wreck. A guaranteed burglar pi- of t-afe in tbe fir nroof vaults ol tl Stale bank at Mediapolis, this county, was Wo n al most to atoms yesterday morning by a tremendous charge of nitro glycerine. The cracksmen forced the vault locks without difficulty. The safe contained $5,000 in coUWin,$0 in pnper cur rency, $400 in silver coin, and $-2,600 in school district binds, payable to U-.iei Tbe paper money was torn m o bit- mid tbe coin was battered and bent and scat tered lo tbe fouf wiod. Nineteen of the bonds have U etj lccov ered intact, the rest I'eing desu-.ed or stoien. Fifteen hundred dollars in the battered coin was recovered. It is pre sumed the burglars got the rest. The interior of the vault looks as though it had passed through a bombardment. A ton of scrap metnl lies upon the floor and js imbedded in the walls and ceiling.

Madagascar seems to be the bone of contention between the two poweis. France claims a protectorate over the island and claims that England has been aaifctin the revolt of the Ilovas. Tbe Puh Mall Gazette says that m ar ticle in the Politique Coloniale is un friendly to the verge of discouru ?y and adds: "If it reflects the spirit in which the French Ministers intend to discuss the difficulties with England, we may pre pare for troublesome times. We do not wish to quarrel with France, but, on the Other hand we arc indisposed to permit tKepasing upon our unquestioned rights. France must be told conrteou-Iy, bat firmly, thai we h ive not the slight- st de-" sire to attack or t" provoke tier, but it at tacked, we Bhall delend ourselves to the last extremity. "The London Sun learns, it says, that 3 portion ot the British channel fleet will be ordered to Gibraltar in order to rein force tbe British Mediterranean squadron.' m THE CYCLONE IX CCBA. Oae Cliy Entirely Submerged, and Great Loss of Life Reported. Mail advices from idavanna to New York, giro a terrible story of the effects of the storm of the S)3rd met there. The storm first struck the eastern end of the island and swept it in its entire length, lasting two days, when it moved to tbe northward, in the direction of Flor ida. Hundred ot trees were uprooted and many nouses were destroyed by tbe v olence of the wind Tuesday it was reported that the city of Sagua La Grande was entirely under water. Tbe water rose until tbe city was sukmerged to-a depth ol six feet. The surrounding country, where there are quite a number ofugar estates, was also flooded. Many lives are said tb have been lost, but tbe exact number cannot as yet be ascertained. The danage to property was, it is believed, but several millions of dollars. Both railroad and telegraphic communication between Sagua La G-arnde and Havana has been entirely suspended, bnt will soon be resumed. tfEORUU'S ELECTION. Democrats Win But Fopnlista JttaKe Big Gains. The Georzia election resulted in a vie tory for the Democrats but by a greatly reduced majority. The majority may show as low as 20,000 when complete re turns are in, though estimates run as bigti as forty thousand. The ropnlists mate Dig gaina. iuc Democrats hold the legislature and will elect their United States Senator but the PoDulisLS will have about forty members they have been having only fifteen. The Democratic niaiority two years ago was 71,000. The districts represented by the tree sil ver Democrats have furnished the Popu list ea ins while the districts represented by what they tbev term the sound money man, have given the Usual, 11 not increas ed majorities. Dissatisfaction among tue aieinoaisis and old soldiers with the Democratic nominee for Governor, and the almost solid vote of tbe negroes against the Deui ocrats, are definite causes for the slump. In Oakland. Cal., a boy iot caught between the wheel and body oi a watering cart. Bystanders rescued him from dan ger of death and ripped up a plank of the sidewalk to pry him out. The owner of the plank demanded fifty cents tor the use of the plank. SLOVER NEW BERNE, N C. GUARANTEED. mi63m MADE FROM PURE PIG IRON. Not one pound of Scrap Iron is ever used in these goods.

A heavy snow storm is now In progress in -Leadville, Colorado, and west of" tliere, it is exceedingly cold. Fred Douglas emerged from obscurity the other day long enough to say that neither party cared unjthinsj for the negro, excc'i 1 about election t;o.j. JIThe footpad ho iievueuted Chicago during the World's Fair are now appar ently doine a thriving business in New York city. The church of England is to have a college at Jerusalem. Bi-hop Blyth has Feceived the firman irom Constantinople sanctioning the election of tiic proposed college. The man wha argues politics is bad enough, but he adds to his offense if he tells afterward how he triumphed in tbe argument. Joseph Gwilsor is beinz patched with frog skin grafts in a Brooklyn hospital. If he -should be something of a croaker hereafter it will be with some reason. The schooners La sea and Selene, owned by John E. Brooks and Mr. Henderson, of the Anchor Line, propose to race across the Atlantic. The sturt to boon Christ mas day. The stakes 5,000. What seems to be the oldest wom'iii in the Stale is Mrs. Sarah Cai-vell, of Burke county, who is 105 years old. Her father fought at the battle of Kings Mountaiu. The coffee crop of 1894 is estimated at 12,500,000 hags, the largest in the annals ot the trade and 2,000,000 bags in excess of the consumption. A drop in prices is expected. A dispatch Irom Hamburg says that Dr. Oertel, of the Hygienic Institute, of that cjty, has died from Asiatic cholera, resulting from an experiment with water taken from the river Vistula. A special from Brunswick, Ga., siys: It is rumored that the Jekyl Island Club has beer, offered 11,000,000 for their club house and island, near Brunswick, by Phil, D. Armour, the Chicago hog king. There have been four deaths from chol era at Cognac, France. This is the first cholera reported there. Cholera has also broken out at Constantinople again. While on her way to school Oct, 2nd, Miss Lena Meadle, aged 15, of Dothlim. Ala, was attacked by an unknown negro who attempted to assault her. When she screamed he shot her and ran. The bullet entered her breast, producing a fatal wound. Armed men are searching for the negro and if caught he will be lynched. The postoffice at Harrisonberg, Va., was entered by expert crackruen on the night of the 2d and the vault rifled. The amount lest will probably reach $1,000, a large proportion of which was in stamps. Other offices were robbed a few d(iys ago and a gang is supposed to be at work. The kidnapping i,of two children is re ported at Washington city. They wore sons of Mrs. A. H. Glennon who had parted from her husband Dr. Uknnan a surgeon of the Marine hospital service. The kidnapping was done by four men who burst into Mrs. Glennans apartments at night, it is supposed by instruction of her husband who wants a divorce from her. He charges her with infidelity. Advices from Key West, Fla., say that fifty dead bodies, victims of the wrecks occurring on the reefs during the recent storm, have been washed ashore on the islands. The dead are evidently sailors from the vessels destroyed, although the length of time which has elapsed since the storm has rendered the bodies un identifiable through decomposition. The probabilities are that many more of these ghastly evidences of the hurricane's fury will be brought to light, in a few days. The Louisville Courier-Journal proves that at present prices the sugar planters of Louisiana can clear $50 per acre. And yet they are making the country tired crying for protection and say they ore going to the Republican party to get it. Let them go. The Democrats will ever oppose taxing the farmers who raise cot ton corn and tobacco, and have a hard time to make both ends meet, in ordoi to make the Louisiana ianners independently rich. After a coiif rence of District leaders Wm R. Grace stated in mswer lo a quos- tion as to whethr another Democratic State ticket would lie nominated that it appeared the hading men in their organ ization were in iitv. -r of it but the rank and file against it. At a meet in-.; o: the general committee of the Sin pard Democ racy it was dtc-id.-d that the- ticket with Hill at the head of it should not be sup ported. The result was greeted with cheers which could be he-aid a block away. Fusion has been effected in 1'itt cou ity. A special to the Wilmingtou Messenger gnys that the Thirdites held their county convention on the 3rd, inst. nominating a full ticket, with Republicans for regis ter of deed?, one member of the Legisla ture and coroner. Several negro delegates were present. A negro Republican band made music. There is much dissatislac tion among the delegates. Gains are made from the Democrats. The few fu sion Republicans met later andj ratified the work of the Thirdites. COMMISSIONERS' CEEDIXHS.

Policeman Henry Brinson did another pie ce of good, detective "work Wednesday the third inst, and as a result Matthew Johnson, the son of the colored Baptist preacher, Rev. John JrJhnson, now lies in Craven county hotel for the theft of a cow from Mr. Drew Dixon who lives about eight miles from the city, Johnson, stole the cow Monday night, Drought her down and butchered ber the Tuesday morninc; fo lowing at the slaugh ter pen foot of End street; took the hide and sunk it in a hole of water in Lanes' Branch near where the public road cross es it, and carried the beef to his stall at at the corner of Pollock and Norwood streets (diagonally accross from Mr. T, J", McCarthy's) for sale, Mr. Dixon came down Tuesday hunt ing for his cow. He had traced her un til he found she bad been brought to ward New Berne, ar.d he obiained facts enough to warrant him in suspecting Johnson; so yesterday he reported at the uolice headquarters, and Mr. Brinsqn was given the caoe to vork up. He went to the shop of Johnson arm ed with a warrant for his arrest. Johnson told very contradictory and fa'se stories, but he at last confessed, even to where the hide was hid. He was tried before his honor Mayor Ellis yesterday afternoon and bound over to next foin of court, hut failed to give bond. This is not the first case of the kind that Johngon has been caught at.

The course oi the road between Messrs Crockett's and Jjray' farms is be nU' slightly altered, a iiart of it is now a little nearer Mr. Crockett's.

Gep,tlo;VjC-n who have bec- ' -wi to the State capital recently tell us nur move ment for better roads here is b-.Mng watch ed there with a good deal more intcrys,1, than they anticipated , The public spint manlfe-ttd by the promptness aud liberality of the subscrip tions to the work took the public by surprise. They say they never before heard ol road work being taken hold of by private subscriptions so unitee'Jv ;yd enthusiastically. It will be remembered that at first there- was a statement made to the effect that tue commission, rs w re not willing to work the convicts on the road, which we are glad to say however was an erron eous impression; the commissioners az-e in favor of it and have given an order for working them. But under the impres sion that the statement made Mr. Holmes wrote the letter. It contains puin.s worthy not pimply of a single peius.d, but of keeping carefully in mi-id. We give the letter in luil ; Chapel Hill. N. C. Oct. 1st, 1894. Mr. W. W. Clark, Newborn, N. C. My Dear Sir: I have been greitly in terested by the recent Road Meeting held in Newborn, an account of which was publisbe 1 in the Journal of Sept. 26th. I know of no case in the State in wliich private subscriptions have so liben-.lly contributed toward the building of a public road, and your success there illus trates the principle for which I have beer, contending for some time; that just as soon as our people realize the financial advantages of a good road they will so rue how or other raise funds for building it One qf your propositions interested me specially; that with reference to working the prisoners In the county jail on the public roads. The objection raised to this proposition was that it would make the work cost the county more than was originally contemplated. With rearard to this point, I beg to submit the follow ing statement: Craven county now pays, I am informed, 25 cents per cLy fur the feed and guard of these prisoners in the county jail. The returns U'-oui something Hire a dosen eounties in North Carolina which are using their convicts on the public road?, show that it costs to do this, on an average, 20 cents per day per cenvict, this Cost including board, clothes, and the guarding of the convicts. An average of all of the returns sent in from the various counties of the State shows that it costs on an average IQ cents less per convict per day to work them on the public) roads than it does to keep them in the county jail. The average cost being 30 cents per convict per day, in jail, anel 20 cents per day per convict (including feed, clothes and guards' salary) on ihe roads. And in addition to this lessening of the expense in the support of convicts by woiking them on the public roads, in the one case he public gets some re-, turn for the injury done it by the crime committed aim j'-r tlv expense incurred in the capture and the conviction of criminals; iu the other case the only re turn to the couuty is the additional ex pense of feeding the prisoners in jail. Tbe reason it is cheaper to work the convicts on the roads than it is to feed them in jail is because in the former case their provisions are bought for them in quantity, they do their own cooking, and their expenses are thus reduced to a m,ini-: mum. And even if ;n special eases it should, cost more to maintain them on the roads it would be better to use them than to feed them in jail and hire other labor at 50 cents per day and board. I beg to call your special attention to the experience of Lenoir county in this respect. This county which formerly paid 35cts. per day lor feeding its convicts in jail is using these jail prisoners on the public roads at a cost not exceeding 15cts. per day per convict; they employ r.., guardj save that tbe superintendent ol the work is also the guard. But he goes with out drms he leaves the prisoners when ever his duties make it necessary to d . so; he allows them to go to thoir own homes on Saturday night and return to work on ; Monday morniDg. lie is paid a salary 1 ($1.25 per day notnsguar.l butasthe Mii erintendant of the worl-;. This is, I admit, a novei experience and I know Q no par doU to it e:se where, but I am informed ih..t it has proved in Lenoir county eminently succe-slul. They 1 have built many miles of good ronl dm- i inff the present year; they have not lost a i convict and 1 me1 informed that in every way the experiment has proved a micoss aud has greatly bcneiitl.-d th: p i i.c ruads. I sincerely trust, that some way will be found by which the Craven county con victs can be used in this work; and I hope tlitit within, the next few years we will see every criminal in North Carolina, whose term of imprisonment is for less than 10 years, at work on the public roads of the several counties of the State. If a Committee of New Berne gntlemen could spend a day at Kinston and another at Raleigh, theyj would be thoroughly s-atisfie-d that the convicts are not only the cheapest but the best labor that could be placed on the pubbc ronls; and all the objections disappear at once when we appeal to actual experience, instead "f to theory. Wishing y--u the greate-t possible suc cess in this work, which means s-i n.iioh for the fu'ure of New B Tin . I beg to re main. Yours Obediently. J. A. Holmes. . .

I ! m MS FIXED. j The East Carolina Fail ir to He Held February 18th to 23 rd, Inclusive, 1895. i AheadUnrest Purses Ever Of- Tered In The State.-$.J,000 in Raee Premiums Alone Dihcr Pre miums Increased in Pro portion, A meeting of the Boanl of Directors of the East Carolina Fish, Oyster, (lame and Industrial Association was held last night. The date of holding the next exhibition decided upon, and also the amount that was to be given in race premiums fixed. Tue prizes for last year looted up to the jxruud total of $2,500 which was the largest that had ever been given in the S1,1' UP t" tljat time. Astonishing as it may seem the d.iroctors have decided to i nso this amount $500. The purses for uext year aggregates $3,000. This makes acertainity of drawing very fine horses : ucvn oupae norm Carolina, as well as the best within our border from one end I ot the Stat to the other, i Tim feneral nrpminm liat nraa nla dered to be revised and increased in the many departments. Actum was also taken upon season tickets, the sane rules and regulations wil! be sed that were applied last year they will be republished later. The meeting was a very lar?e and en thusiastic one a great deal of interest was taken and we can safely say that in dinit:v point to having as heretofore Ihe hs-st Fair ever held in the State. Never were the officers and directors more enthusiastic on the subject and the people are ready as ever to back them up unitedly in whatever they undertake. Now that that the date is settled, let . evev y one take renewed interest, espec i ially should the farmers remember and be gin prep aring their exhib'ts now, while the crops are being housed; they can do so better now than later and the abundant harvest gives every asssurance they can make an agricultural exhibit beyond even what they have been doing, as fine as it was; save the best of cyery crop and com pels for tbe liberal premiums. Securing of special attractions was left as usual to the president and secretary and Treasurer They will have new features on this line, and also the one which was so pleasing this year the magnificent balloon accessions both day and night.

A Stable Foundation for Uatteras Light Advices from Washington says that the recent, heavy storm on the Atlantic coast demonstrated the gratifying fact that a stable bottom has been found off Dia mond shoals, Cape Hatteras, N. C. Some time ago on boring made by the light house board of the treasury.tempor- ary pilings were driven down at that point. The recent storm did not budge them, and if such temporary work can witlistand such a furious storm, the belief is entertained that permanent piles will remain secure, by means of which a solid foundation can be made upon which to erect a light house, which is so bidlv needed on this dangerous coast.
