Heavy Flow ol Lava.
San Francisco, OaK, July 22. The of-,
Beers of the steamer "Australia," which
arrived yesterday, say that it is not
improbable that the great volcano Mauna
Loa has blown it head off, and suuk
the whole Island of Hawaii.
The ship ran into a heavy cross sea,
which It was thought, was caused by
a sulmiarine disturbance. A bluish vapor
hung over the water for days and a
heavy cloud Bke an umbrella came
from the direction, of the volcano.
On "the afternoon when the ship left
Honolulu the newspaper there said that
. the lava How was within ten miles of
Hilo, and was travelling steadily.
Captain Lawless sn'id that In his opin
ion the whole crest was blown oft, ami
if the waters of the sea entered the
"crater then the whole ixluml would
In' shattered.
CALM STUDY" OF TRUSTS.
It is a very -good sign of the times that
public discussion of the trusts is turning
from heated denunciation into more
carefully balanced inquiry. Nohting was
ever gained in the settlement" of grent
public questions by hasty action or cal
umny of individuals The trust question
is of too groat a magnitude to be de
cided off-hand even by political leaders
looking for a platform and will only
be coped with adequately when the na
tion can look into it without prejudice
and without malice. New Haven Regis
ter. RAIN SUNDAY.
For Raleigh and vicinity: Showers
this afternoon or tonight; rain Sunday
and Monday, probably in considerable
amounts.

treme northwest and is also low along
the entire Rocky Mountain slope. A
slight area of high barometer has ap
peared over, the Lake Region. Through'
out the south cloudy, threteoing weath
er continues, with heavy rains at a
large number of stations. The largest
amounts were 4.00 inches at Atlanta,
2.48 ath Oklahoma, 2.34 at Memphis.
Small amounts of rain occurred at many
widely scattered stations in the central
valley and Lake region. In. case of the
further development of the "high" over

pected to bring rain.
THE RBINA MERCEDES.
Washington, D. C, July 21.-The
Nuvy Department hag decided to send the
Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes to New
York and oston for exhibition purposes.
She will remain about two weeks at
each plate. The report of the Board
of Survey, which examined the MereB"
lies at Norfolk, her present station, to
determine how much it would cost to
put her in condition for being towed
along the Atlantic coast, has reported
- to the Navy Department that she can
be caulked and temporarily repaired for
$2,000. This work has been going on
while the board was making its inspec
tion, and has been nearly completed.
- It is the intention of the Nuvy Depart
ment to have the cruiser leave Norfolk
for New York in a few days. After she.
has been exhibited at Boston, the Mer-,
cedes will be towed- to Portsmouth, N.
H., where she is to be nsed as a receiv
ing ship for the crews of vessels under
going repairs at that place.
STREET ORATORY MUST CEASE.
Chicago, 111., July 18. Street corner
denunciations of the government must
cense. Chief Klpley has so ordered.
The edict, which appeared in the daily
bulletin of the Police Department to
day. Is aimed particularly at the So
cialists, bnt It applies to all gatherings
which come under the strict ban of the
law. In speaking of the order today
the Chief said: "My attention of late
has been called to an increasing number
of agitators, who make a practice of at
tracting attention to themselves at places
where large crowds are In attendance,
and then talking about force of arms
against the government and what the
people wonld do if they ran the country
to suit themselves. It is just such agi
tation as this that caused the Haymarket
riots, t I have decided to put an end to
this sort of tiling aud take it by the
forelock before It gets any worse."

THE CAR STRIKERS
Militia has a Quieting Effect in
f Cleveland
BRIDGE BLOCKADED
Fourteen Policemen Injured in New York
. Manhattea Strike Ends
Dynamite Used in
Brooklyn.
Cleveland, July 22.-The city this
morning looks like a battlefield after
the turbulent scenes of Inst night, which
continued far into the night. The
strikers have quited to some extent, but
the naval ami militiamen are keeping
guard at the danger points. It Is feared
that a settlement is farther aWny than
ever.
The presence of the military has had
a good effect. The lawless element is not
operating so much in open. More
troops will be called out today if they are
needed. The demonstration was on
early today, when on Humboldt street
bridge tweuty-five hundred persons, a
majority of whom were women and chil
dren, piled rubbish ou the tracks for
nearly a block and the trolley wires were
also down.
Brooklyn. X. Y., July 22. f ynrfmite
was again used ...v the strikers this
morning, when they tried to wreck a
Seventh Avenue car. Fortunately the
dynnmitet was discovered in time.
..New York, July 22. The strike on the
Metropolitan lines is considered over.
The lines, at all effected, are rnunung
today in a normal condition.
New York, .Inly 22. Fourteen Man
hattan policemen ami two trolley em
ployees are suffering from painful in
juries received today. They were flung
headlong down an envlunkuient from a
trolley car, which jumped an embank
ment of fifteen feet early this morn
ing ill Brooklyn. The Tliceiiieu were
going to Kocknwny to relieve their com
rades. VERY BAD IMPROVEMENTS.
Davie street between Fayetteville ar,l
Wilmington strets is curbed and ready
for macadamising. In its present condi
tion It is a veritable nuisance. All the
water from Fayetteville Btreet turns at
the Law. .Building corner when it rains,
and avoids the gutter. It has washed
out the street badly and runs across the
street, carrying nearly the bulk of the
water on the sidewalks of Wilmington
street at Mr. Fraps' corner. This nui
sance has existed ever since the curbiug
was put in and citizens living on West
side of Wilmington street are compelled
to work in the middle of the stret, when
erer it rains. God save us from this
style of permanent improvement.
ONE OF THE SUFFERERS.
INGERSOLL'S FUNERAL.
Present Plan is to Hold it from the
House Monday.
New York, July 22. The intention of
the family of Col. Robert O. Ingersoll
this morning is that the funeral shall
be held from the residence Monday.
Robert Green Ingersoll was born in
Dresden, New York, August 11th, 1833.
His father was a Congregational clergy
man of such broad views as frequently
to cause dissensions between himself
and his parish. The sons's boyhood was
spent in Wisconsin mid Illinois where
the family, removed in 1843. After study
ing law, he opened an office in Shawnee
town. III., with his brother Ebon, who
was subsequently a member of Congress.
Both engaged in politics bnt the sur
roundings were uncongenial, and in 1857
they removed to Peoria. In 1800 Rob
ert was a Democratic candidate for Con
gress, but was defeated. In 1802, he
became Colonel of the 11th Illinois Cav
alry, and a year and a half Inter united
with the Republican party. In ISO'J he
was appointed Attorney General for Il
linois. -At the National Republican Con
vei.tlon of 1870 he proposed the name
of James G. Blaine for the' presidential
nomination in a speech 'liar attracted
much attention. From that time his
services ns a campaign orator were in
demand throughout the country.
In 1877 he refused th post of min
ister to Germany. He has taken part
in numerous noted law su'ts in all parts
of the country, and was couusel for the
so-called-atar route conspirators, whose
trial ended In acquittal in 1883. He
was well known by his books. pnniidjTets
and speeches directed against the Chris
tian religion.
One of the most notable addresses of
Col. Ingersoll was his funeral oraotion
over bis brother, Hon. E. O. Ingersoll
in the course of which he said:
"He added to the sum of human joy
and were every one for whom he did
some loving service to bring to bring a
blossom to his grave he would sleep to
night beneath a wilderness of flowers.
IJfe Is the narrow vale between the
cold and barren peaks of two eternal
ties. We strive in vain to look beyond
the. heights. We cry aloud, and the only
answer is the echo of our walling cry.
From the voiceless lips of the nureply
lug dead there come no word; bnt in the
night of death ,bope see a star and lis
tening love can hear the rustle of a wing.
"He who sleeps here, when dying,
mistaking the approach of death for
the return of health, whispered with
I his last breath, 'I am better now.' Let
ns believe, in spite or. aotmts ana aog
mas that tears and fears that these
dear word are true of all the comit
ies dead. And bow, to yon who have
been- chosen -from among the many
men he loved to do the last sad of
fice for th dead, we give his sacred dust.
Speech cannot contain our love. There
was there Is no gentelerl atronger,
manlier man." .'

, CONVICT KILLED
John Gibson Crushed by a Night
Freight
ESCAPED WEDNESDAY
Attempted to Steal a Ride oa S. A. L.
Freight and Was Literally Cut
in Pieces by the
Wheels.
Ab9ut twelve' o'clock last night a
northbound S. A. L. freight train killed
a negro, who proved to be John Gibson,
just north t the city limits. He was
trying to steal a ride under a freight
ear when he evidently fell. He
was horribly mangled. . His body was
literally cut in two and one of his
arms were also severed.
The body was collected together by the
railroad hands and kept until this af
ternoon when it was sent to the estab
lishment of Mr. John. W. Brown, on
Salisbury street, about 2:30.
Tile body remained unidentified dur
ing the morning. It was viewed by
many persons, but none of thenii knew
the deceased.
However, the remains were finally
identified by Superintendent W. C. Mc-
Mackin as John Gibson, a convict under
him serving a five year sentence on the
county roads. Gibson managed to es
cape last Wednesday and has succeeded
in eluding the officers since. He has
evidently been hanging around the out
skirts of the city awaiting an opportunity
to hoard some northbound train. His
chance came last night and it is prob
able that he was killed while trying to
get on il car of the moVing freight.
None of Gibson's relatives viewed the
body and it was interred by the railroad
company in Mt. Hope cemetery.
John Gibson was twenty-three years
old. He was a familiar character to the
police. He was arrested last for three
offences; larceny from some colored peo
ple, robbing the store of Fruzier and
Angier on Martin street, and taking a
wtch from the place of Mr. D. W. C.
Harris. He was tried at the July term
of the court and sentenced by Judge
Moore.

WHAT VICTORIA HAS SEEN.
The Entire World Has Changed Dur
ing This Queen's Lifetime. j
Victoria during her lifetime has seen ,
flic entiire world transformed, says Ix-s-lie's
Weekly. Ou the day of her birth.
May 24, 1819, the first steamboat which
ever crossed the Atlantic or any other .
ocean started from Savannah to Liver
pool, making the voyage In twenty-six
days. The same distance is now made
in six. She was six years of age when
the tirst railway truin In the world
started to carry passengers. She was
eighteen years of uge, and bad just
asceuded the throne, when, the Morse
system of telegraphy and that of Cooke
and Wheatstodie were first patentted.
Thirty-nine years of her life had passed
when the first cable was laid under
tho Atlantic, and that one almost Imme
diately ceased to operate. Fifty-six
years of it expired before the first tele
phone went into practical operation.
Scott and Byron were in their prime
when Victoria first began "to rend the
printed page. None of the great writers
Thnckery, Dickens, Bulwer-Lytton,
Tennyson, George Eliot, the Brownings
and the others whose names have cast
a glory over her country during the
past half or two-thirds of a century
had yet begun to work. Darwin, whose
labors have revolutionised science and
have profundi- affected the thought of
moralists and theologians, was yet un
heard of.
At the time of Victoria's birth the
tramp of Bonaparte's armies had just
ceased to shake the world, and Bona- j
parte himself was a prisoner on a Brit
ish island In the South Atlantic. She
has seen every throne livijjurope va
cated many times. She has seen her
own country transformed politically
from an oligarchy, in which only one
out of fifty of the population was per
mitted to vote, into a democracy in
which the voters number one out of six
of the inhabitants. France has Changed
its form of overootent (our times since
her early girlhood days. Italy, then
only a "geographical expression," to use
Mctternacb'a phrase, has since become
one of the greatest Powers of Europe,
while the Empire of Germany was'
still far" in the future.
The United States was In the midst of
the "era of good feeling" when Victoria
was' bom. Monroe has had nineteen
successors' la the Presidency since that
time. This country had only 0,000,000
population then. Buffalo nod Pittsburg
were - frontier town, : and not a house
existed on the site of the mangnificent
j metropolis of the West, Chicago. The
- annexation! of Florida, Texas ,'Jew
Mexico, California and Alaska, to say
nothing of the more recent .accession
of territory, all came sinre Victoria's
birtfh. The world's map ha been chang-.
ed In many places, the world's ideals
have been altered In many respect and
' the whole face of human society ha
been transformed in the four-score year
whieh, have elapsed - since Britain's
Queen first jww tho light. - ' "

PLOT AGAINST DREYFUS
Fisherman Planned to Dround Him op
His Rejurn.
Paris, July 22. A story comes to light
that Quiberon, a fisherman, had plotted
to throw Capt. Dreyfus into the harbor
when he landed there on his, return
from Devil's Island, but a terrific storm
and the lnte hour of his arrival pre
vented the carrying out of the plan.
According to local opinion the military
present would not have prevented the
fisherman's design from execution. One j
soldier shouted, "We came to guard j
him, but we hoped we had come to shoot ,
him." "
Mathieu Dreyfus confirms the report j
that a telegram was snown to ureyius
stating that his wife had given birth to
a child two years after her husband's
imprisonment on Devil's Island. : ,

i A PITIFUL CASE
Young Wife Asks Admmission
into the County Home
ABANDONED BY HUSBAND
She Comes to Raleigh with Her Two
Children and Asks that .They
May Find Shelter in the
County Home.
A pitiful case was exhibited in this
city this morning when Mrs. William
Clark, from the Morrisville section of
this county, entered the court house with
two little children and applied at the
Register of Deed's office for admission
for herself and children into (lie county
home. She came on a wagon through
the country and brought her two chil
dren. All her worldly possessions were
in h small trunk. The story she told
could not fail to elicit the deepest sym
pathy for her and demonstrate the in
humanity of man to his family. Mrs.
Clark was a native of this county ami
her father still lives here, but circum
stances have changed so that she cannot
return to the home of her youth.
Mrs. Clark, whose maiden name was
ltnrhee. married William Clark. They
lived together until almut two years
ago." when Mrs. Clark says, he went off
with a woman from near Clayton. He
afterwards got into court and ran away
and she has heard nothing from him
since.
Day after day she struggled to cko
out a livelihood for herself and little
ones until she gave up in despair and
came to Itnleigh and begged to be sent
to the county home w here she could be
with her children. She did not have
enough to pay for their transportation to
Raleigh. She expressed a willingness, in
deed was anxious, to do any kind of work
if she could just keep her children.
She was referred to county chairman
Julius Lewis, who investigated the case
and learned that Will Clark was from
Orange county, hence there was the
proper place for her to apply for admis
sion to the home. Arrangements were
made for her transportation to Morrisvile
and she returned there with her children
this afternoon.
EDUCATIONAL INSTIUTES

Superintendent of Public Instruction
C. H. Mebane returned this morning
from Itoek Hill, near Wilsou. where he
spoke at an educational meeting yester
day, l'rof. Joyncr was also present.
Superintendent Mebane was seen in
bis office this morning and asked about
the progress of Ihes institutes this sum
mer. He remarked: "These institu
tions tin' helil this summer in about one
third of the counties. They should be
held in all the counties, but the work
has been demoralized in some counties
by ithe contention liietwieen the two
boards."
"Some of the public schools arc now
open." said the Superintendent ill reply
to a question. "Such schools hold two
months in summer and two in winter,
but 1 consider such a policy very inad
vuntagcuiis. When the work is thus
chopped up the best results are not at
tained." Superintendent Mebane has traveled
all over the State visiting these institutes
which are held under direction of tin1
county supervisors and generally last
at least two days: one for the public
school teachers aud the second for gen
eral educational awakening.
"I find the crops in the west very
poor." said Mr. Mebane, "but in the
east they are fine. Tobacco apjM'ars to
be excellent."

PROPRIETY OF SPANKING.
Justinee Roberts Decides a Difference
dice Between Ladies.
Mrs Mary B. Ruppersburger, 1408 Re
treat street, was before Justice Roberts
at the Northwestern Poliw Station yes
terday afternoon charged with disturb
ing the peace by giving unnecessary ad
vice to her neighbor, Mrs. Edith T.
Holmes, 1410 Itctreut street.
The case resulted from an argument
between the two ladies ar to the proper
method of correcting children when they
behave badly. Mrs. Holmes has a small
daughter who disobeyed her mother ou
Tuesday, for which the young one wns
culled into the house, laid over her moth
er's knee and well spanked. Mrs. Rnp
persberger, who is n very stout lady,
with no small children of her own, was
au interested spectator from the. fence
between the houses. She showed her
disapproval of Mrs. Holmes' method, it
is said, by calling her a brute and say
ing Mrs. Holmes deserved to have the
children taken away from her.
Mrs. Holmes testified that she retaliat
ed by telling Mrs. Rupperslierger that
she knew enough to correct her own
children and' mind her own business at
the same time. At the hearing Justice
Roberts delivered the opinion that Mrs.
Holmes' method of correcting children
by placing them across the knee and
spanking them was, s far as he knew,
the most proper and desirable method of
correction. He further explained to Mrs.
Rnppersberger that what Mrs. Holmes
did to her children - was no affair of
hers and advised her to meddle no more.
The case was dismissed. Mr. Ruppers
lierger and Mr. Holmes were both pres
ent at the hearing and audibly sided
with their respective wives. Exchange.

BIBLE ANALYSIS.
Intruational Sundav school Lesson, .Till v
211, 18!)0.
The Handwriting on the Wall Dan.
v. 17-HI.
The sciiclont should read the connecting
link between the last aud present lesson, t
where lie will enrlii about the dream of
Nebuchanc7.7.ai and its interpretation
by Daniel. The dream showed that a
gn at calamity was to pome upon Neb
ui liadiiczza. ami that he should dwell
with the beasts of the field, and eat grass
as oxen until seven years were passed.
This was n punishment upon him be
cause lie would no tserve God or govern
the people well. In our last lesson we
studied how Nebuchadnezzar set up a
golden statue, which be commanded all
to adore: and bow the three Hebrews for
refusing to do it were cast into the
tiery furnace, but were not hurt by
the Haines. The Douay Bible I Roman
Catholic) gives the prayer, and canticle
of praise of the three Hebrews while in
the furniture, which is not found in our
Protestant Bible. In speaking of this
prayer and canticle of praise, St. Jerome
says that "it was in all the Greek
Bibles, which were originally translated
from the IIclu 'W. and it is more than
probable that it had been formerly in
The Hebrew, or i-itber in tie Chaldaic.
in which the book of Dani 'I was writ
ten." Be this as :t may. we no.v tur:i to oar
lesson of today, and ir.il Belshaz?ar,
only Hi or 17 years old, the ruling king
in the city of Babylon. He made a
feast to his lords, and while they were
sitting at the table drinking wine from
I he vessels of the t.vnple at Jeriisnh ill,
a band appeared and wrote on the wall.
Bclshazzar became friglt'ened, sent for
bis wise men and offered them gicat re
wards if they would I ell him the mean
ing of the writing; but they could not.
Finally Daniel was sent for. as 'we note
in our U-sson.
Verse 17. Daniel was now an old
man. and ns a prophet ot God refused
to speak for money or any reward. As
a prophet, Daniel spoke God's truth
without fear or favor. He undertook
a work wbiicb Hie King's wise men
bad failed to do. A true servant of
God din's not hsik for rewards of earthly
presents for doing giMl. The Babylo
nian word "father" here Is the same
as grandfather, since Nebuchadnezar
was not the father of Belsbazzar, but
the grandfather, Bclshazzar was a most
worthless youth and worshipper of
heathen god. This iirt of our lesson
should teach us that God requires service
of every man nt-cording as He has given
him authority and means to work, and
if God punishes one mail for wickedness
He will another for a similar sin. Those
who forget to honor God for His bless
ings are sure to suffer for it. y- Tlic
history of Nebuchadnezzar andBelshaz
zar proves that to us. Wf infer, bow
ever, from Daniel iv, 37, that Nebu
cbau.'H'Zzar Im-ciihic g true convert, and,
dying not long after, was probably
saved.
Verses 25-28. Here Daniel interprets
the handwriting and spoke the dreadful
truth, which Belshazzar's wise men
might not have dared to speak. God
has faithful servants for every emergency-
Samuel for Saul, Jeremiah for
Zedekiah. Xntfxin for David, Elijah for
Ahab and Daniel for Belsbazzar. The
division of the kingdom and the result
is spoken- of in verse 28. Is it not a
fact to be lamented that mflny fami
lies and even. eongregationfi""are simi
larly divider or broken up? These things
ought not so to be.
Verse 29. In this verse. Beishazsar
fulfills his promise of versa 1$, "preceding
our lesson. Royal robe and chains of
gold are ot little consequence. Truth
and righteousness should be the great
factors in making nip men's lives. Pro
motion awaits every wwrtfhy servant of
God. as it did that of Daniel,
Verses 80-31. Belshauar and his no
bles were slain on the night of the
feast and Dariua took his kingdom, ful
filling the prophecy in Jererqlnh li. 30, 57.
Beshazsar and hi nobles had no revets.
