f7 THE TM1ES - ITOR No. 8,938. RALEIGH, N. C, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 1, 1899. 25 CENTS A MONTH. VIS - . SEVEN DEATHS AND Three Thousand Leave Old Point Comfort Strict - Quarantine Main tained. Hampton, Aug. 1 Three thousand per sons have fled from here and Old a Btrlct quarantine has been established. Point Comfort, owing to the yellow fever outbreak in the National Soldiers' home. Others will go today it they are abh to get away, which is doubtful, as a tsrict quarantine has been established. The infected district is practically cut off from the world by the most stringent quarantine. Armed policemen and many residents with shot guns are guard ing the different outlets and it is thought that the fever will be confined to the home and eventually stumped out. Three new deaths reported, making a total of seven deaths and thirty-seven canes. , No mnils are allowed to go out of the infected district. Hailrood communication is cut off and it is feared that a famine may be add ed, there being no way of getting pro visions into the stricken district. Norfolk, Va., Aug. I The sltuat'on at the Soldeirs' Home at Hampton is unchanged this morning, but that fact that ther were no deaths yesterday .vul no new case developed yesterday or ht night is regarded as cheering. Notwith standing rumors to the contrary n t a single case exists outside of the sold'crs' home, where the fever originated. The home is surrounded by a strong guard and it seems almost cernin that M;e dis ease will lie confined within the walls of the home. ELUDED QUARANTINE. Capt. Thomas Makes His Escape from Old Point and Reaches Home. Capt. J. J. Thomas arrived from Old Point Comfort this afternoon and he was doubtless never happier to reach home. He and Mrs. Thomas were tak ing a vacation there when they were caught by the quarantine on account of yellow fever. The indications were that their visit would be indefinitely prolonged, but last night, by the skill ful aid of a friend, a tug boat was se cured and Capt. and Mm. Thomas managed to make their escape under cover of darkness. Mrs. Thomas stopped in Warrenton, while Capt. Thomas came straight to Raleigh. ELIHU ROOT SWORN IN.

The roads have eucb set aside a room near their, depots in which will be quarantined any person suspected of having yellow fever and who may have come in contact with anybody suf fering from that disease. FEMALE EVANGELIST. Iteport That She is In Trouble Here is a Mistake. Yesterday's Fayetteville Observer says: "Everybody knows Elmira McNeill, the colored woman evangelist, who took such an active part in the Fire Baptise Holiness meeting, recently held in thi city. After that meeting disbanded, El mini took up u subscription to carry her to Africa, where she said she was going to carry this new .Fire religion. It is said that she got as far as Kuleigh, found her divorced husband living with another woman and is now iu Wake county jail awaiting trial on a charge of murdering that woman by adminis tering .poison." No woman by that name has been placed in Jail here or even arraigned for trial so far as can be ascertained, Deputy Sheriff Separk was seen at the jail and said he bad never heard of Elmira McNeill and no woman is in jail here charged with poisoning.

Connor for Prof, of Agriculture, Oeorre T. Iveyjs Instructor in Textile Arts, Probable Choice. ine reorganisation committee of the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechnnic Arts will meet at 4 o'clock this afternoon and at 5 o'clock the board of trustees will meet. The object of the session is to fill three important positions, left vacant at the last meeting, namely, a professor of air ricuiture and instructor iu the textile department und an instructor iu animal industry. The following trustees are iu the city to uttend the meeting: Messrs. Primrose, Leaner, Tompkins, Twitty, Hurris, Har din, Bouit., 1'eele, Kuy, Smith uud Wul ler. There are six applications for the pro fessorship of agriculture. They are us follows: Prof. Benjamin Irby, of Raleigh; ex professor of this branch in the A. nnd college, wuo lias uu immense pile of strong recommendations. Prof. Charles A. Keffer, Mesilla 1'ark, New .Mexico, of the New Mexico A. ami M. College. He lias tine recom- ineimauous, tint it is doubtful if hi would come for the salary now paid. A. J. Abbott, of Columbus, Ohio, of the Ohio State University, seems to be a young man just graduated this year. H. I). Heuu-uway, of Amherst, Mass., sent a letter applying for the place. S. .1. Wallace,, of Starkville, Miss., a graduate iu the class of 1894 from the A. and M. College of Mississippi. S. M. Connor, now assistant professor of Agriculture in Cleuison College, S. t., is very highly recommended. Mr. . . . . ..oinior seems to oe regarded with great favor by the trustees who discussed the matter. He is a graduate of the Missou ri A. and M. College, at Columbia, Mis souri. He spent a yeur in post graduate work at the Michigan A. and M. Col lege. He was employed four years aud a half as Assistant in Agriculture iu charge of the field crops. He has now been three years at Clemsou College. where he is giving most excellent satis faction. The indications are that tie will be elected to the chair of agricul ture. S. M. Trucy, of Biioxie, Miss., for merly director of the Mississippi Exia-ri-ment Station, is an applicant. H. Haywood of the Pennsylvania Ex periment Stution, now iu churge of the dairy and husbandry at the Pennsylva nia College, is also an upplicant. He sent no recommendations, but writes that he can furnish them. Prof. F. E. Emery, now professor of agriculture here, is a candidate for re election. The snlury of the professor of agri culture is $1,800. TEXTILE DEPARTMENT. Another important pluce to fill is in structor of textile art and science in he college. The applicants are: John It. VU-k, now of Durham, and a graduate of this school. The other applicuut is George K. Ivey of the Florence Cotton Mills at Forest City. Mr. Ivey is a brother of Mr. T. N. Ivey, editor of The Raleigh Chris tian Advocate. He graduated from Trinity College in the class of 1801 and then took a practical course at Taunton, Mass., cotton mill. For 3 years he was superintendent of the Bessemer City Mills, but resigned to accept the more lucrative position as superintendent of the Florence Mills. Mr. Ivey has written some valuable articles on various features of textile wofk and a book by him is used as the standard work on the subject iu Eng land. He is now thirty-two years o!d. There seems to be little doubt of his elec tion. ANIMAL INDUSTRY. For the place as instructor in animal industry ther is no applicant. The place pays $1,000. However, the following course will doubtless be adopted in this matter: Prof. J. M. Johnson, who was elected by the board at the last meeting as assistant professor of agriculture and experimental held crops, will probably lie changed to Instructor In Animal In dustry, and, if this is done, then one of the applicants for professor of agri culture will "be elected to succeed Prof. Johnson, as assistant professor of ag riculture. Prof., Johnson is a graduate of the A. and M. College of West Virginia and spent some time at Cornell. ' Of course, the board is in session as this, paper goes to press, but the indi cations warrant the forecast of the election of: ; ' 1. S.' M, Connor, of Clemsnn College.

SUNDAY'S FIGHT American Loss Seven Killed, Twenty Wounded FIRED FROM AMBUSH One Thousand Filipinos Suddenly Fired on the American Troops at Calamba Sunday. -iiuniia, Aug. l. Sundays fight at Calamba was a warm one. The insur gents were unwilling to abandon the place, which was a key ta the lake road. Genexal Hall sent three companies and three troops of cavalry aud one gun to attack the insurgent?. This de tachment found a force of one thousand Filipinos hastily entrenched. The insurgents held fire until the Am ericans were within a hundred yards, when they fired a volley at the Ameri ca us; The latter dropped in the high grass and returned the fire.

OPPOSE NEGRO POSTMASTER. Senator McLaurin Will Head a Dele tion of Protest. Columbia. S. C, July 31. Senator McLaurin is to head a delegation from Florence to President McKinley to en ter a protest against tile postofi'iec of that city being turned over to the Rev. Joshua E. Wilson, colored, the appoint Mr. Wilson has twice la-fore held the office, giving satisfaction to the busiuess community, but his recent apixiintmcnt has caused protests, with threats. In accepting the office he runs great per sonal risks. A lnass-meetiug of the citizens of Flor ence was held b riday, at which Sena tor McLaurin was invited to lie present, aud he agreed to be one of the delega tion to urge on the President the policy and propriety of revoking the appoint ment of Mr. Wilson. The argument that Senator McLaurin will make will be that when iu former years Wilson was postnuister Florence was an unimportant toWn, with negroes largely in the majority. Since then it has become a railroad centre, is the chief town in the eastern part of the State and has a largely predominant white population. The people are offended at the ap pointment of a ucgro when there are white Republicans who would be accept able. The Lake City Tragedy, that town be ing not fur from Florence, will be re called, and it will be declared that while the substantial business men of Florence would not encourage violence, yet the life of negro postmaster would uot In secure under the circumstances, nnd no means of protecting him can be devised. Wilson is described as a negro of edu cation and humble manners. There is little expectation that the President will change his decision, even though he is understood to lie on the most friendly terms with Senator McLaurin. If a change was made because of protests, there could be no more Appointments of negroes in the South. At the same time it is already declared in some newspapers that if Wilson is killed his blood will be on the head of the President. It will be urged hat the appointment of negroes is not in line with the President's friendly utterances In Atlanta last winter. New York, Aug. 1.

RAIN GENERAL No Dr ught Anywhere in the State TOBACCO IMPROVING Heavy Rains did Some Damage In Eas tern Counties Melons and Grapes Injured Cotton Seems to be Doing Well. The Crop Bulletin for the week end ing Monday, July 31, 189, says: A decided and satisfactory change in op conditions is indicated by the re ports of crop correspondents fir the week ending Monday, July 31, 1809. 'Hie drought was thoroughly broken by copious rains throughout the entire State. Showers occurred at come places on every day of the week, the largest amounts falling between the 2-t(l aud ilith; longer intervals of sunshine oc curred the latter part of the wet k. The rainfall averaged 3.25 inches, or 2 inches above the normal. Iu some eastern coun ties, especially Halifax, Montgomery mid Green, the rainfall was very heavy and damage resulted to lowland crops by overflowing streams; the precipitation was least over the western count'cs from McDowell northward, though sufficient there for present needs. The tempera ture was alsive the normal, though with out great extremes, the high relativ, humidity causing the oppressiveness of the atmosphere. Crops throughout Ibo Slate were in most excellent c mditioii ro receive the full benefit of the at. und nat moisture, having been kept clean and in a thorough state of cultivation With the exceptions not.-l below, the intlueiice of the rainy weither lias boon very favorable. Much improvement In the condition and appearance of nil crops is reported, although in the west I lie damage by previous drought to up land corn and some minor crops was too great to permit of their fill recovery. Special reports on cotton indicate in general that it is doing very well in di-cd. Though small, cotton has a strong stalk, is healthy, full of blooms, and is setting bolls nicely. In view of its comparatively small size, the fears ex pressed by some correspondents that it is forming too much weed seems to be premature. The heavy rains, however, have caused much shedding in many countuv Corn has been greatly benefit ted; early corn is practically made; here and there army worms continue to dam age this crop. The condition of tobac co in the north-central portion of the State has hitherfore been -eoor'ed as late and poor, but a great ii:iprnvem nt is noted this week in reports from flint important tobacco growing section; top ping is underway there; cutting and cur ing continue, and while the week was not so favorable for that w-irk on ac count of too sappy a condition of the plants, causing some poor cures, the gcueriil results are very satisfactory, es Iwially in eastern counties, where the crop is very fine. Rice is growing rap idly and some early var'eties are be ginning to head. Pen mi-), Held peas, sweet imtatoes, nnd meadow -t are very thrifty. The excessive mo-sturc is in jurious tomatoes, melons and grape. FUNSTON'S QUEER BED. That Brigadier-General Fnnston can he original even while in a semi-comatose condition is testified to by a mem ber of the engineer corps just home from the Philippines. "The most characteristic thing I ever knew Fnnston to do," said the engineer, "was before the battle just outside Ca loacan. He had bad no sleep for two days, and was in bad shape. He there fore rolled himself up in leaves and went to sleep. Meantime the division receiv ed orders to advance, but Fnnston could not be. found. Many scouts had been killed, and it was feared that the colo nel's curiosity for he was colonel then had led him- into trouble. Pres ently, however, a glimpse was caught of his red hair in the tangle, and later they found him shrouded in leaves. As this is the way bodies are prepared for burial in that part of the world, we got more and more apprehensive with ench step until at length some one shout ed: " 'Colonel, are you dead or alive?" " 'Neither,' grunted the colonel as he rolled over for another nap, 'I'm sleep ing.' " Mrs. Muggins "Your clergyman is very popular among men, isn't he? Why is It?" Mrs. Buggins "He insists upon having a two mouths vacation every summer." , . Mrs. P. W. Wiley, of Washington, D. C, and Miss Mollie Parham, of Wat kms, N.
