Ru.kic.ii, Nov. 1 St-uator Rutlcr La-, arrived here, anil this morning Kepuhli oan Slate Chairman Hultou came There were some people who promptly arrived at the conclusion that there wa-i to ue a conference by appointment. The Sena tor appears before the Supreme Court this week, A month ago be got his license, having passed examinaiion in extremely creditable style. Dr. Fortune, clerk of the I'hiled StateB District Court, appears to be in trouble of a new kind. He has signed discharges in a number of bankruptcy cases where there was no dispute and in which the referees reported final settlements Hut only a judge can Bign discharges. What Judge l'urncll will do to Fortune is of course problematical. Aibasleen stated, the judge has announced that Fortune would be removed by or before Decem ber 31st. Senator l'ritcbard and some others ne understood to have asked U:ai Fortune be allowed to bold on until after the December term of court. It seems that the judge did not know until a day or two ao about the signing of the dis cbarges. It made him pretty warm There was a heavy gale of wind here last night. I'. prevailed for ncaily 12 hours, with astonishing steadiness, but was at Its height about 2 o'cloc this morning. It looked like things would be blown away, but only a lew irrcs were prostrated. The city looked like a hailstorm had swept over it. it was conjectuicd that bad news would come in from the coast. The w ind was north east until (i a. in. and then went to the east. There was only one Western I'nion wire standing, that one bcin.; to Rich mond. Each year the Stale board of hialtli meets at some point for a coofcicnce with I lie people. Tomorrow it inccls at WilBon. These meetings are known as "health conferences." Rev. Dr. J. D. Ilufmnn, a widely known Baptist minister, lias written Captain Day, penitentiary superintend cut, asking for Information as to the punishment of convicts, and also desir ing the whips usod in Hogging them, in order that a prison reform movement may be started in North Carolina. Cap tain Day has replied to the letter in rather caustic style. Speaking of the removal of Thomas IJ Russell as warden of the penitentiary, Captain Day said it was because Russell talked too much. Father Worth, when asked today how many State bonds have never been sent In for oxchmge, replied: "Only about $200 OX) worth. He added that he did not believe these would ever come in. Though the Legislature last winter repealed the act under which the State contributed a.i ciiial sum, up to f j()J, to a township which ralsod money for Its public schools, j et many people think the act of 1801, is in effect. The State Superintendent of Public Instruction gays at least 4 Ml have written him during the last three or four months about this matter. There a-c Boine business men hero who warmly favor the holding of a street fair here next year. The rain and wind did much damage to the cotton unpicked. The Stale will suffer nome loss on its farms on I lie Roa noke, where the cotton opens later than it does elsewhere. It Is really strange that there hns been go little bankruptcy business In this Stale. It is a puzzle to know why very many people do not avail tbemielves of the law and wipe out their Indebtedness Officials think It Is due to public Igno rance of the law. The "silver jubilee', or the Church ul the Good Shephard continues. This ev ening there was a pabllo meeting at which papers relative to the parish were read. Today the corner-stone of the Lyman Memorial church will be laid. At the convocation of Raleigh Is In ses- tlon there will be a large procession of the clergy and laity. Hobart Improving.

London, October SI The War Oltice has received a dispatch from General White, commanding the liritish forces at Ladysmith, confirming the re port that the Royal Irish Fusilers, the Gloucestershire Regiment and No. 10 mi u itain b itlery were surrounded in t he hills by the Hoers on Monday, and after losing heavily, obliged to surrender. This loss in effective nun must be ::p palling to a general who is practically surrounded. Two of the finest British regiments and a battery deducted from the LadyBuillli garrison weakens it for effective purposes about a fifth of its total strength, and alters the whole situ ation materially in favor of Ihe Roots. The disaster cost the British about 2.030 men and fix "-pound screw guns. Gen eral While reports that 4'-' olliccrs were made prisoners. l'hrongs of visitors were m the Win Ollice nil day. Anxious persons fought their way to the notice boards. Man) woman weic heard to gai-p, "Thank God he's alive at any late,'' in they found the name of some beloved one on Ihe list of prisoners. The sidewalks were p;clsed with solid ni'issei awaiting tin ir turn to entor. The disanlcr has caused a fi-ilim: akin to consternation. In tilnuccsicralitrc tmd the Norlli ol lielauil, whore I be capluied regiments were recruited, the blai ki s1. gloom prevails, families awaiting wilh beating hearts the names of the killed ami wounded, which are fully expected to reach a high figure. Many homes uie al ready in mourning in consequence of the Ioskcs sustained by lhc;e regiments in previous lights. General White advanced wilh the idea of driving the liners from the hill seven miles out, wuieh General .iouhert made an ostentations show of fortifying on Sunday. Thu lioer commander lelt a force sufficient to draw Generul While on, while the luass of the liners he moved stealthily round the Rritish rieht to de liver a Hank attack and to try to cut oil Geueral White from Ladvsniilh. The; Biitish commander succeeded in homing off the attack, but only w ilh great dilll- culty, and during the turning movement his troops sulle:ed from a flanking tire. A Government olticial said: "It is in eplicable, and I am sorry to say that its moral effect Is inestimable. We have lost hidvily in many wars, and have had regiments almost Wiped out, but to have regiments captured, and by the Hoers ! It is terrible !" Cai'K Town, October "1. General liullcr's reception here today was enthu siastic. He was welcomed by Gen. Sir Frcdei- ick Foreslier-Walker, alter which they both entered a rnrria.-e and drive to the Government House, escorted by mount ed police and mounted volunteers. They were wildly cheered by the throngs of people lining the route. These were cries of "Avenge Majuba !" and wild cheers. General Uuller's faee was impassive as he returned military salutes for the cheers. "I wouldn't be without DcWiu's Will h Hazel Salve for any consideration," writes Thos. 11.

UGH DECISION Of Judge Simonton In The Corpora tion Commission Case. i Stamps Sold At Durham. Methodist Orphanage Bequest. Sliver J ubi- i lee. Approves of Whips. j Cotton Spinners Meet Reward Offered. Raleigh, November 2 Judge Simon ton's decision in the case of Virginia li. ' Matthews, of New York, a stockholder of the Carolina Central Railroad against the corporation commission, w us secured , and filed with the clerk of the Circuit j court. This case as argued at Ashevillc aud involves the right of the commis-! sion to reduce the minimum in car load ; shipments of fertilizers from 13 to 10 ' tons. Judge Simonton holds that the commission has a right to fix reasonable rales when the charter was granted sinie lS jS notwithstanding there is provision in the charter that that power shall rest solely in the board of directors, lie fur i her holds that the act creating the Car olina Central Railroad is an amendment to the charter of the corporation com mission, it is also held that the road w as chartered in 1881. Judge Simonton slates that the unreasonableness of the rate cannot be decided by affidavits with any degree of satisfaction. He therefore, appoints K. S. Martin of Wilmington, a special master to inquire into the rates presnihed and specially as lo their rea sonableness, with leave to ieport in this special matter. 'The most significant feature in Judge Sinionton's decision is this sentence: "No issue can be decided by ulliiluvit with any degree of satisfaction." This leads strongly to t he belief that Simon ton will appoint a special master in the i ail road assessment cases, which were so elaborately argued at Ashevillc last Sep tember. The same questions involved in the Matthews case come up in the cases of the Raleigh fe Gaston and Ral eigh X. Augusta Railroads, to be argued next Saturday in Wake Sup erior Couri, ns both these roads appealed on the fertilizer rate reduc tion. The statement of slumps sold for Oc tuber at Durham show the largest busi ness ever done in Durham.

It says "moral suasion is a farce with a horse thief, liou-t-breaker or a murderer."

The battle at Lady smiih is known to be proceeding, but no news is al'owed to come from the front eicept the official telegram of Geu. Sir George Stewart White. Not a word has been received today from any of the 200 British correspon dents in the field. All England knows how iis troops were lost, but what the rending public here wants to know Is the personal story of the man who brough in the news of the disaster from the lioer camp.

Columbus, Ohio, November 1 Form er (secretary of Stale John Sheruian.who a short lime ago wrote to the Republi can campaign managers pledging his support to Judg Nash, the Guberua torial candidate of that parly, has tin done this work by another letter lo a local Democratic paper, in which ho attacks President McKlnley s policy in the Philippines. M r. Sherman, even though shorn of political power, is regarded wilh affec lion by many Ohio Republicans, ami what be has to say upou any leading issue Btill carries greater weight than Ihe opinion of any other man In the State. The Ohio campaign has resolved Itself into a fight upon two Issues expansion and Senator Raima's position in favor of trusts. The former, however, is just now the more important. Republican orators during the past week have de voted by far the larger part of their time to a discussion of expansion, and the Democratic speakers have met thorn squarely and vigorously on the issae So the declaration of the cnerable Sher man, coming, as it did, when the cam paign had reached its climax, has been of inestimable value to the opponents of imperia'ism.

They still have made me slight returns And thus my grief divide; For, oh ! they've cured me of my Burns, And eased my Akenaide.
