CffHntfM ConmissJoa Make· Order that MitW Trains be Correctly Bollstlaad. *r m Nearly m m Pwdkli. Ultwk New* a Otwnu, 17th By 10 order made yesterday, to b« effective November 1st, the Corporation Commission took a loo g step towards remov ing a railroad abuse which has been posaibly more irritating than any one thing from which public has suffered. It will no longer be possible— as it baa been not only in the * power bat the practice of rail roads to do—to tnsrk a train ten minntea late in Raleigh when the dispatcher knows that in reality it bas not lelt Greensboro ana, by every half hour or so marking an arriving traio ten minutea ahead, keev people at the Union depot anywhere from two to five boors. TlnAer lhi> n»w aI »I*a order with resuect to bulletin·, the railroad* mn>t now state at m α c b as tbirtr minutes in advance of the schedule honr at what time they actnally expect the train to arrive,'and if the delay i* indefinite, tbey must post the fact that it is to and the cause of the delay. Also, in cases where trains arc tide tracked, as in msny caaes local (rains are when they lose their right of precedence over through traina, the facta mnit be atated to the passengers by the con ductors. There is no order that could have been made that will give more real pleasure than tblaone. The railroad· have seemed to take an arrogant, even an impish delight, in gToss misrepresents· tion to the public. Abuses bave been numerous and there has been State-wide complaint. Readers of The News and Observer will recall many in stance· in which the public have been mistreated by fictitious and misleading information as to train?, in some of which thara have been women and' children put to serions inconvenience and occasionally into actual danger. The order, disobedience of which will subject the oOandiag railroad to a penalty of five hun dred dollars, will be found be low. If you arc leaving town November l«t «Il m 1»lf ·« hoar In advance of train lime and learn the truth or know tbe reason .why. It will be a novel pie an re. The order follow* : CMCOTJUI WO. 79.

Miami, Pla., Oct. 19.—There port of the loss of the steamer St. Lucie, Captain Bravo com· mendia?, has proven tree this evening. One of tbe extension steamers arrived in port bring ing 60 wounded, who were taken to the hospital. It is said there are 28 dead bodies, which will be broogbt np to-morrow. It is believed now that a portion pf the Florida Fiah & Prod η ce Company's fleet were drowned. Manager Adams sent out one of their boats this morning to look for tbe men and on their re turn they reported no signs of the fleet. Tbe fishing nets were fonnd strewn npon the shore. ALU 250 ISLANDRRS LOST. Captain Bravo uyi that be anchored on the lee aide of Elliott'· Key, 25 mile» sooth of Miami, yeaterday morning and tbat aoon after a tidal wave en gulfed the island. He aaya there were 250 reaidenta on the ialand, all of whom were loat. The St. Lucie waa cnubed by tbe itme wave and of the one bundrtd peiaona on board 25 were killed. Captain Bravo waa aeriously ioitued. The St. Lucie's borne port was Tampa, Fla. Sbe was built in Wilmington. Del., in 1888, and was of105 net tonnage, 122 feet long, 24 in breadth and over font feet depth. She was usually manned by a crew of 13. Tbe St. Lucie had formerly been ia service at New Haven. De tail· were lacking. ' OWK OF FLAGLER FLKKT. The St. Lucie belongs to the fleet of tbe Florida Ka»t Coast Railway and is employed in car rying workmen to aaa from tbe extcusioa work oa the keys. Despite the storm warning Captain Bravo sailed for Key Sarg-o with a large number of nwikurau awimiUi The steamer was caught in the atom lid mi driven aabore with the awful lota of life reported ia the lore-going.

THE issues DISCUSSED. Hum, Hiatal·, Mm·, ni Dnri TilkM StnlAI D*o trio· Friday RlfkL Stirring music by the Dallas band called the folk· together at the opera bonse Friday night. This splendid band play· well enough to be called an orchestra and several of its rendition· on the «tape were enthusiastically applauded. Sheriff Armstrong announced that owing to the latenea· of the h ο η r the county candidate* would forego their an noon ce menu and yield their time to the Legislative candidates and Hon. W. C. Dowd. Mr. Mange m, after the greet» ing applause subsided, urged the importance of voting. Majorities sometime· 1 oat election· tnrongh negligence ami afterward· re· gretted it. The Democratic argument was before the people in the form of Democratic record of perform ance*. Tbe Republican argu ment was before tbe people in tbe form of Repnblicaa incom petence, misdoing·, and misrep resentation·. If tbe peopli would only go the polls ana as· sert their judgment there could be no doubt of tbe result. Mr. Mason spoke 45 minutes. He dismissed mainly state issues. He declared tbe Republicans ►were not specific in their charges of extravagance against the Democratic adminiatratioa. They were not fair—tjiey seek to leave tbe impre*stou that money was misappropriated. But when called «upon lo put their finaer upon a single dollar in a single item to sustain that DAftitlotl Mr* «InmK mm êUrn grive. He discuaicd forcibly Repub lican hypocrisy aod pretense on the pension and educational issues aod the issues relating to our charitable institutions. The speaker was particularly forcible oo popular education, and when, witr» the statement that the iuture governor of the State or the president night this very night be working in a cotton mill in Gastonia, be declared in favor of the public education of the rich and poor alike he was loudly applauded. The prog ess made in education through out the State is wonderfnl. Gas tonia has new school bnildiugs worth as mncb as all the public school buildings in the connty were worth a few years ago. Dallas, Cherryville, Bessemer City had new school buildings worth more than all the school· houses of their respective town ships were worth a few years ago. The same progress was shown by the other towns. The Democratic party was worthy of confidence because of the wis· investment it made of the taxes. All the money h bsd ever «pent on the University would be well spent if that school had not given to the State a single man but Dr. C. D. Mclvrr. The Democratic party had invested the people'· taxes in things that were cal culated to, increase values— things like brains, charity, good government. "Prove all thing* ; hold fast that which is good." On connty matters he chal lenged the Republicans to make good their charges by showing where in a single instance the W at « · · mUmatMffed or could be better otBind, Oar county |onra mentnmd by It· iairnega to all claaaea attracted cotton mill in veatmenie from Cleveland and Mecklenburg— men from theae couutiea ware particolar la ret ting· tbeir chartera to aay that the office or place of burineaa wee to Oaaton. [Thia threw the la α gb on ■ Mr. Dowd: Mr. Maaon aaw it, aeemed that be didn't Intend to My it qititc that way, and then the folk· lauebad heartily at both of tbem.1 It pay·, aaid Mr. Mason, speaking of u«r county rovernmetit to treat every body fair. Justice is an attractive thing. With loot word· expressive of his sense of personal obliga tion to the people of hi· native county, Senator Mason con cluded amid applause. Hon. W. C. Dowd, candidat· for the Honte in Mecklenbnrg, was introduced by Mr. Maiignm. It was Mr. Dowd'» first appear ance before a Oastonla audience. He is a biff, hearty, good-humor ed mas, with a strong voice and strong character. He con gratulated the county of Oaaton that h won Id give to the next General Assembly so wisesnd capable a legialator as Senator Mason, and that be wonld have .the support of such able col leagues as Mangam and Diliing in fte House. As to .Senator Mason's statement tbart Meck lenbnrg capitalists were charter ing ''place· of business" in Gas ton county for the purpose of operating cotton mills, Mr. Dowd countered by saying that laad in Mecklenburg was really getting too valuable to put 'em on. [Laughter.] He brought erecting* to Gas ton from the banner Democratic county of Mecklenbnrg. He let up on the enemy over there loner euougn ιο come over toOsstonia tor the ttuou that they bad the enemy so badly beaten in Meck lenburg (bat they couldn't Sod bin ; at the election they pro posed to bury the enemy ao deep tbat if he scratched ont it would be on the other side. Mr. Dowd then addressed him self tu State issue* and exposed the groundlessness of Repob· lican criticism, showing as be went alone the scanda loua rec ord of tbe Republicans in theif management of tbe penitentiary and other State institutions. His remarks on tbe «d oca t loo of the fsrm boy and mill boy— public education for good citi zenship were vigorously sp plsuded. As to pensions to tbe old Con federate soldiers, which the Re· pbblkaos wanted to see double^ Mr. Dowd compared appropria tions by the two parties and then asked convincingly, "Haven't we doubled them?" The speaker discussed with vigor the temperance legislation of the Democratic party and de fended it by its magnificently good results. Speaking of tbe State's mater tal progress he qudted from gov ernment report· that North Car olina owed less money per cap ita than any othér State and that agricultural lands in 10 years bad increased in value 85 per cent. In conclusion, tbe Republi cans know their own folks pret ty well; notice what they say about one another, remember their record, and then answer at the polla this question, " Aie you going to let 'em return to pow er? [Loud applause.] NEQtOES ROT TO 5LAME Flre»« Stuc· Vu hrilr Ac· clieatal—WIM femora 6raend Um. Chirtott· Chroeicl*, Scdni, 8.

In 1889, three yean before even the election of Cleveland, the financière aad économiste of the entire world were nonplussed by a seasoa of iadnstrial onrest, enveloping In its scope the en tire civilised world.

It waa inevitable thee, aa cer tain a· that effect most follow cause, that the collapse of the Cnaacial institutions of Europe should be followed by the col lapse of our own. The crisis came ia America ia 1893, under the democratic administration. It would have cook ia simitar msnncr under the republican or under any other. Long before it arrived it had cast its sinister shadow before, aod the plates for tbe sold beads issued by Cleveland to save tbe credit of the country were cast in tbe ad ministration of Harrison. If aoy administration were to blame for it, the responsibility would rest upon Harrison's, since it was doriar his term that the period of over-apccu latiou, extravagance acd "wild cat" financiering took place.
