By Cable to the Times-Vistor. LONDON, Nov. 5 The definite an nouncement of the evacuation of Fa shoda lessens, but does not end the Angle-French tension. The two gov ernments are now ready to proceed with negotiations concerning Bahr EP Ghazel, which is sure to be long and intricate, but will probably have a pa cific outcome. The peril of them is the accumulated resentment of each nation against the other, which the Fashoda dispute revealed arfd concentrated. .WORKS OF A WHEEL COMPANY BURNED.

Richmond Dealers Shipping Guns to North Carolina. (Richmond Dispatch.) Richmond is doing a bit business in supplying arms and ammunition ' to North Carolina for possible use on election day. The total number of rifles and sffot- guns sent into North Carolina from Richmond during the past ten days win probably reach S00, the number of revolvers shipped will bring the total number up nearly, if not quite, to 600. Still the demand is not supplied. One ueaier states that he aould send 160 rides into the State if be had them in stock, but that ke is aot able to all ike orders. Ther have also been shipped large quantities of ammunition. Cottrell, Watkins Co. say that fus ing the past tea days tkey have set Into the eastern and central portions of the State the storm centre Between MO and 300 rifles, shotguns and revolv ers. They have also shipped large quantities of ammunition of every could sell probably 150" more rifles ff so many were in stock. It kas not been able to fill all orders. T. W. Tignor's Sons have also made very heavy shipments of arms and am munition to the Black Belt of North Carolina recently, and have received from that section many letters of In quiry regarding the prices of firearms and ammunition. This firm expects to make heavy shipments within tTie next day or two. The Richmond Hardware Company has made considerable, shipments to North Carolina .consignees recently and Baldwin & Brown have had their North Carolina trade in firarms consid erably increased. THE ELECTION. Politicians are now busy estimating the result of the election in North Car olina next Tuesday. Great interest is felt in the result. The Democrats are confident of a good majority in the next State House of Representatives, and a safe major ity in the State Senate. Thev also state that the indications all point, to the election of the following Democrat ic Congressmen: Small, In the First district; Kitchin, in Fifth; Bellamy, in Sixth; Klutz, in Seventh, and Crawford In Ninth. : . The fusionists claim the State House of Representatives by a very narrow margin, and a majority in the Senate. The Populists claim that they will tret the following Congressmen: Skinner, in First; Fowler, in Third; Jenkins, in Fourth, and some of them claim Cald well will carry the Seventh. The Republicans claim White In the Second district. Adams in Fifth. Lin- ney in Eighth1 and Pearson In Ninth. The Baltimore Sun today says on the North Carolina situation: 'The Democrats feel more confident of carrying the State than they have felt' at any time since 1876, -when Vance defeated Settle, and their campaign has been the most active and agresslve one since that memorable contest. At the last election the Republicans fused on Judges, solicitors, Congressmen, in fact. on everything except Ciovernor and Lieutenant Governor, the Populists nominating candidates for their offices. They nave done likewise tnis year, Dut the fusion is not as complete as it was then, because there was a pretty strong feeling among the Populists against fusion with the Republicans, and the fact tljfat fusion was effected has driven many Populists,, whoy were formerly Democrats,, back, .into the Democratic party. This is one of the. things the Democrats are relying- upon to carry the State." r : " - ,t - " , . i s .

These men were descending into the mine on a carriage, when cars loaded with coal ran from the drift into the shaft in which the carriage was descending and came down upon them. The bodies of the rr.cn were horribly mangled. It is a miracle that all of them were not in stantly crushed. PEACE COMMISSION. By Cable to the Times-Vistor. PARIS, Nov. 5. It is expected that the American reply to the Spaniards will be brief, Insisting upon the right of effective conquests. The Spanish commission will next insist upon a dis cussion of the cession as a sale, not as an Indemnity. Germany is prepared to offer two hundred million for the Phil ippines. Afterwards there will ba a fight over the amount of the indemni ty. Sagasta will remain in power while the negotiations last. There is reason to prolpng the negotiation, but no rupture between the American and Spanish commissions is probable. KOUMANIA SAILED. By Telegraph to The Times-A'isltor. WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.

RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 4. The phenomenal campaign going on in North Carolina is quite sure to have an Influence in the black belt districts of this State. Information from the Fifth, which borders on the Old North State, is to the effect that the contest is making a deep Impression in some parts of that section of Virginia. The same Is likely to prove true in the Pe tersburg and Norfolk district, which border on North Carolina, and whose people are intimately associated with Carolinians. The hardware merchants and gun stores have done a thirving business with North Carolina during the recent excltment. It is estimated that within the last ten days two hundred Wih chesters and one hundred revolvers have been sold to the white people of Eastern North Carolina. BUTTONS FOR DEMOCRATS Mr. Edward L. Torsch, of Baltimore, has completed an order for 100.000 cam paign buttons to be used by the advo cates of a white government in North Carolina. The buttons are about the size of a silver twenty-five-cent piece, and are In two designs, One is a bril liant red, the color affected by the Democrats, and the other, is In white. with red and blue lettering.. The senti ment la the same, on each, "White Union," around the edge of the but tons, with the word "Government"; on a band across the middle; PRISCILLA. Mrs. Shipp, with her splendid troupe, will, on the 10th, put "Priscilla," a bright little opera, on the boards here at the Academy of Music for the bene fit of Rex .Hospital. Mrs. Shipp needs no introduction to Raleigh people. If in no other way, her presentation of "Princess Bonnie" here eighteen months ago would be a sufficient guar antee to secure her an audience. Then the Ladies' Hospital Association, un der whose auspices the play is pre sented, have ever received such sup port from the Raleigh pepole that we feel sure they will not fail us now. "Priscilla" is a bright, mirthful op era, and all who go will have nothing but fun to recall. Tickets will be 50 and 25 cents. CHRISTIAN CHURCH. Sunday School, 10 u m.

Faucett have filed with the Sec retary of State articles of agreement for the incorporation of the Daisy Hos iery Mills, for the manufacture and sale of cotton and woolen hosiery. The principal office and place of business shall be at Burlington, and the capital t'tock in $2,900. "A HIRED GIRL." "A Hired Girl" received very flatter ing (?) notices from both morning pa pers. The News and Observer said: "Su':h a conglomeration as The Hired Girl," at the Academy of Music last night, Is rarely witnessed here. It might be fitly termed another batch of 'Blaney's Blarney.' It paired most beautifully with the section that pass ed earlier in the season under the dis guise of 'A Boy Wanted.' Neither are wanted here again. The feature "that is commended was the very, very slim audience." The Morning Post said: Another of Mr. Charles E. Blaney's "latest successes" was exploited on the stare of the Academy last evening. This time it was "A Hired Girl." Let us hope that Mr. Iilaney will not favor us soon with another of his "latest suc cesses." "A Boy Wanted" more then satisfied us, and we are not likely to soon recover from "A Hired Girl." If we are to be favored again with an other production from the pen of Mr. Blaney, we sincerely trust that it won't be one of his "latest successes." Two a year is enough. Three might result disastrously. The author announces that "A Hired Girl" contains no plot, but is one of his original jokes. Mr. Blaney should have the joke labelled and copyrigntea. The performance last evening was one of the worst seen here in a long time. There Is plenty of vulgarity, some sing ing, a funny black-faced comedian, and a fairly good skirt dancer in "A Hired Girl." A few good specialties were in troduced. Best among these was the clever dancing of Happy Fanny Fields. The performance was tiresome and nauseating. That is as much ns can be said for it. The advance notices in other papers gave tile "attraction" a bad name, and as a result few people witnessed the performance. ATTENTION, DEMOCRATS! It is earnestly desired that all young white men in the city of Raleigh will meet in the Mayor's office on Monday night at 8 o'clock for the purpose of aiding the County Democratic Execu tive Committee on next Tuesday, elec tion day. As the meeting will be a most Impor tant one, it is earnestly desired that all the young men in the city who favor good government and white supremacy will be present promptly at the above mentioned hour.

The Amer ican liner St. Louis had a rousing send off as she sailed today,, on, her first westward trip since , her return to peaceful service. ' .. ODD FELLOWS COLUMN Soms Items That May In terest Tleu, Some Items That May Interest Them. We are pleased to learn that Helena Rebekah Lodge, at Greenville, is grow ing In interest and aso in membership. Brethren will please remember that the 24th is Thanksgiving Day, and that we ought to remember the Orphan Home. Our Grand Secretary has prepared and is sending out an invitation .card, to the lukewarm and those lacking in terest, to try to get them to come back to their Lodges again. The reply, "Can't do anything till af ter election," has become painfully fre quent, to the urgent requests made to the members by the Grand Secretary. This will soon be over, we are glad to say. It is a pleasure to know that Bro. Coble, the superintendent of our Or phan Home, who has been unwell re cently, has about recovered his usual good health and spirits, and that the children are all well. We see it stated in some of our ex changes that the Lodges in the State of Illinois have voted, by a large ma jority; that the Grand Lodge of that State should meet biennially instead of annually. It is further stated that the Grand Lodge of that State, which meets this month, will adopt the con stitutional amendment carrying this into effect. If the large Jurisdiction of Illinois finds it to the interest of the Order to economize in this way, it be hooves the smaller Jurisdictions to be looking into the matter. A very able and interesting article written by Bro. Berry, Deputy Grand Master of Illinois, upon the subject, "Is the world growing better'.'" is going the rounds of the fraternal press. Any thing Bro. Berry writes is interesting, but this is especially so, as the writer appears in his real character in the dis cussion of his subject. Tie believes the world is growing better daily, and his evidence to prove it will not be called in question by the most dyspeptic pes simist of these latter days. We wish it could be read by everybody, it is good for the blues. WHAT TMIY DO. We herewith give the occupation of the members of the Sovereign Grand Lodge, which includes the officers, rep resentatives and past grand sires pres ent at the last session, as follows: Lawyers, It; merchants, 20; physicians, 12; insurance agents, 10: printers, S; editors, 7; machinists, 7; bankers, C; book-keepers, 6; manufacturers, 5; dentists, 3; real esttte agents, S; cash iers, 5; druggists, 3; contractors and builders, S; grand secretaries, 4; secre taries, 2: treasurers, i, foremen, 3; sheriffs, 1; uadertakera, 2; brokers, 2; photographers, I; ministers, S; miners, 2; Inspectors, 2; elerks, 2; superintend ents, 2; judges. 2; farmers, 2; landlords, 1; surveyors, 1; aiusic dealers, 1; oys ter growers, 1; traveling passenger agents, 1; health commissioners, 1; conductors, 1; stock growers, 1: tailors. 1; bakers, 1; business managers, 2; salesmen, 1; civil servanfr, 1; civil en gineers, 1.

The strictest care should be exercised by the committee to whom is referred the application of a stranger for mem bership. No point in character and standing should be overlooked, either public, private or domestic. Tho in vestigation should be so thorough that there would be surprise should there occur a lapse. The conduct of the per son at home, toward father, mother, brother, sister, wife and children, all should come under inquiry; his hones ty of dealing, payment g1 debts, sobri ety and industry are pertinent mat ters for Investigation. The health should not be overlooked, and a pre disposition to disease is important in all benevolent orders. Make the in quiry thorough, and do not report upon the matter until the committee has conferred together and fully canvassed every point. This is one of the most important matters that conies before the Lodge; see that the duty is per formed in a proper manner. SfTilngs. TKE WEATHER.

Rumors have been current that nego tiations were pending between the rival reorganisation committees of the Capo Fear find Yadkin Valley Railroad for the purchase by the Baltimore commit tee of the bonds represented by the New York committee. The reorganiza tion of tho railroad is tied up over a legal controversy between the two com mittees over the manner in which the property should be sold, and the case has been taken to the United States Supreme Court. A letter from an au thoritative source in New York, re ceived yesterday in Baltimore, states that the report that negotiations were pending was false, and says; "There has been no negotiations and none are now pending."
