The Progressive Farmer (Third party
organ) to-day publishes Capt. 8. II. Alex
ander's letter to Capt. W. P. Oldham, of
Wilmington, and makes this comment :
"It has only bocn a short time since
Captain Alexander wrote a letter saying
he fully endorsed the Bt. Louis platform.
As the national Democratic platform
contains nothing resembling that plat
form, we cannot see how so many differ
ent platforms can be endorsed. The Al
liance members all over North Carolina
are endorsing the St. Louis platform al
most unanimously, and swear that they
will vote for nothing else unless it is
something better. We think there is
danger of carrying this 'endorsing' and
letter- writing busiuess to an excess."
Now as to Republican plans. In con
versation to-day with a leading Republi
can "who' Batd'Tie' would speak freely if
his name were not used, it was learned
that the State convention of that party
will be held about September 1. The
Republican said : "Eaves wants to be the
nominee for Governor. Be will not be
if a man like W. P. liynuni will accept
the nomination. Eavcscaught his party's
vote, but he has not the strength in
convention he thinks he 1ms. This he
will discover. Mott will certainly antag
onize him, There is no truth in tho re
port that Mott and Eaves have made
friends. Logo Harris, I). L. Russell, W.
S. O'Brien Robinsonjand Dr. Mott will
have a "ghost dance" at Wrightsvillc
this week. They arc conferring
ou party needs. Tbe western
Republicans demand the State
convention, and they are the men who
have secured it. The negroes also want
a convention, but they do not amount to
much. They want a chance at any
"boodle" that may be limiting around. I
have a letter from a Republican of prom
inence to-day, in which he says we must
get rid of both Mott and Eaves, and that
tlieir ouiiirels are ruining the party, so
that new men must be takemup. Indi
vidually 1 oppose the idea tlrthe State
convention, but it is a certainty now. If
Eaves thrusts himself to the front there
Will be a division. I hnvc heard some of
the Mott faction say if he did so they
would have a convention aud put up a
ticket also."
Some of the papers have published a
statement that ex-Editor Joscphus Dan
iels had made an attempt to buy
the Progressive Farmer, Mr. Denmark,
of that paper, says the statement is un
founded. The railway commission has received
an application by citizens of Abbotts
burg for a depot at that point on tbe
Carolina Central Railway.
In 18U1 there was listed for taxation by
the Wilmington ifc Weldon Railway iu
Nov Hanover county 205,205 solvent
credits and $020,000 in shares in joint
stock associations, incorporated com
panies, railway, telegraph and bridge
companies. This year this property was
not listed for taxation. Toan inquiry
why it was not listed, President AVarren
G. Elliott writes the following letter ;
"The several Items of personal property
which were returned to the list
taker of New Hanover county and
the city of Wilmington for taxation in
June, 18!)1, were subsequently, in No
vember, 1801, by order of the board of
directors of the company, with the ap
proval of the stockholders, sold, trans
ferred and delivered to the purchasers
and the proceeds of such sale were dis
tributed among the stockholders of the
company, so that in June, 1802, when the
returns were required to be made, the
Wilmington & Weldon Railway Com
pany did not own or have any interest
iu any of the personal property subject
to taxation under the provision of the
charter which ought to have been re
turned to the list taker."

elect Kilgamon, of the Amalgamated As
sociation, it was decided to appoint a
committee to go among the workmen
and advise them to make no demonstra
tions of hostility, or evrr "disapproval ,
when the troop! arrive. 1 he members of
this committee started out on their mis
sion immediately after they were select
ed, and carried out the instructions given
them. They impressed upon the work
men the necessity for peaceful conduct
and told them that they must be
guided by the advice of the leaders who

Homestead, Pa., July 11. A mounted
miner rode into town this afternoon from
the six mile ferry and reported that 4,000
miners from the Allegheny Valley were
gathering, aud all intended to come here
to aid the strikers. The man' reported
that 2,000 of them were armed with
Springfield rillcs and that they would
come here at once to fight the militia or
any other body of men that attempted
to down the Homestead men. He said
that the miners believed that" if the mill
men here are crushed into submission it
would be a severe blow to all organized
labor, and the miners are willing to go
to, any extreme to aseist the Homestead
men.
The messenger returned to the men
whom he represented with a reply, said
to be an acceptance of the oiler of the
miners, but the exact nature of the reply
could not be learned.
Homust KAD, Pa,, July 11. More men
were seen on the streets to-day than any
day since the trouble began. They gath
ered in groups of twenty or "thirily aud
discussed the coming of the troops, in
serious tones. Down near tbe big fence
ou the Homestead side of tbe Carnegie
property, and along the tracks of the
Pittsburg, McKeesport ifc Y'ougbiogheny
Railroad, Which runs through the "prop
erty, fully one thousand meu were gath
ered about noon. Numbers of men from
just outside Homestead, who were among
tbe former employees of the mills, came
to town to team what tbe coming of the
troops meant, and what the programme
for the future would be. There it no
question but that people are leaving town
in considerable numbers. Those who
can conveniently get away for a few days,
are taking advantage of tbe opportunity
to put a safe distance between themselves
and any danger that may arise. None,
however, expect any dilliculty at pres
ent. The question as to the disposition of
tbe arms anil ammunition now in the
possession of the mill bauds is causing
them some anxiety. It is known that
several hundred Winchester rillcs were
taken from the captured Pinkcrtons, and
relics of the strike three years ago are iu
the hands of the men, and it is reported
that there is not only a large quantity of
ammunition stored at convenient points,
but that dynamite is alBO in their posses
sion. What Major Goneral Snowden will do
concerning the large quantity of ammu
nition which the loeked-out meu have at
their disposal, is also a question incident
td the consideration of the matter.
The quantity of powder and shot con
cealed in aud about Homestead is sulli
cient to supply a small army in a warm
battle. Nearly every workman has a
weapon of some kind. It is hardly to be
supposed that General Snowden will
allow these stores to remain in the pos
session of the workmen, if he ascertains
their whereabouts, and it is almost cer
tain that he will be informed of the
places where they are concealed. Such
nlormatiou will be easily obtainable and
the General will 1)6 obliged to act. Fric
tion with tbe strikers in this connection
may cause trouble. To take away their
arms and ammunition would be to them
a virtual defeat and they are not in that
calm condition which will allow them to
accept such a radical change with equan
imity. While the correspondence between
Sheriff McCleary and Governor Pattisou
apparently show the reason that indueed
the Governor in ordering out tbe troops,
another view is held by some of the
leaders. They think that the rumors,
from many points, of active recruiting of
men for the Piukerton service, and the
belief among the strikers that Piukerton
men are assembling near Homestead, ih -duced
the Governor to take action. The
leaders profess to be certain that Pinker
ton Bpies are In town, and this belief 1b
borne out by the recognition here yester
day of one of Pinkertou's chiefs, a man
who has been in the service of the agen
cy for many years.
The tug "Tide," which con
veyed the ill-fated barges loaded
with Pinkqrton men up from Pittsburg
put in an appearance again this after
noon. She came up the river,, to the
ferry .landing below the Carnegie proper
ty, and lay out in the stream for some
tune. No attempt was made to land at
the works, and tbe tug finally went dow n
stream, without having accomplished
anything except to reconnoiter the
groups of guards still in possession
along the river.
Mr. Friok Decline to Treat The Mill Man
ager' Plan for the Future.
Pitt sac io, Pa., July 11. Secretary
Lovejoy, of the Carnegie Steel Company
said to the Uuited Press reporter this
morning that the peace committee ap
pointed by the employees in the Union
Mills at their meeting last evening called
on Mr. Frick this morning. They were
received and presented requests that Mr.
Frick would re-open negotiation with
the Amalgamated Association officials at
Homestead anu asiteu ior an early con
ference. Mr. Frick positively declined
to treat with the law-breakers at Home
stead. The committee quietly withdrew.
In answer to the question : "What
wttlbo yournextTnove aftcTth-militia
are quartered at Homestead r Mr. Love
joy said: "I cannot answer that in de
tail of course. We have our plans out
lined. We first want possession ; then
we win starts tne worns. - w lee-i satis.
fled that fully two-thirds of our old em
ployes at Homestead will go back to
work as soon as we can assure them of
protection. We will then flit the places
ot the leaders andthe other turbulent
with outside men. We have applications
from about 8,000 outside new peoplo, for
employment, at Homestead, but peaceful
citizens of Homestead will be given the
preference: The leaders will then be ta
ken care of by the distfitf attorney, We
do not intend to employ anymore Pink
erton men, but 1 do not care to discuss
our plans for our future protection, in
event of the National Guard being re
moved earlier than;' rln .our judgment,
might be thought advisable." ' v

that the strikers do-not even consider
such a turn in events. They aro united
in the determination to keep up tho fight,
and Mr. Lovejoy's optimistic expecta
tions arc greeted with derisive remarks.
Rumors of the attempt on the part of
the Carnegie Company to secure non-iittioB-workmen
in -Richmond- and other
places in Virginia, have caused many
muttcrings of a vindictive character aud
these assume open threats when it is
mentioned that tho majority of the men
secured to take the places ot the locked

WONDKHFl'L CHANUK IN SENTIMENT
The Militia to be Kecelved With Open
Anns tlov. Patteraou Applauded.
Homestead, Pa., July 11. The mass
meeting of the locked out workers, held at
the Homestead riuk this afternoon for
the purpose of considering the reception
of the militia, effected, a remarkable
change in the condition of popular feel
ing. Those who were radical in their
utterances against the coming of the Na
tional Guard stood iu their places and
cheered when it was decided to receive
the militia . witli open arms. All tbe
speeches were conciliatory in iheir- ,Uuie
and an era of law and order found its iu J
ception. Every sent in the spacious rink
building was filled and many persons
had to stand. About six hundred were
present. Hugh O'Donitcll, of the ad
visory committee of the Amalgamated
Association, called the meeting ro or
der aud invited members of the ad
visory commiltee and newspaper nien
to seats on tbe stage; Referring' to
the newspaper representatives in
Homestead, he said they were the
people who were with the locked
out men and had won for them the
sympathy of the entire people of the
I'niled States. The cheers that follow
ed this announcement sounded strange
iu the ears of the meu, ' who had,
despite theiefforts of the advisory com
mittee, suffered indignities at the hands
of some of those who joined iu tbe
cheering.
Mr. O'Donuell called on Burgess Mc
Luckic to preside. The burgess spoke
words of sound advice and his words
seemed almost inspired iu their fervent
utterance. "We are a little anxious
about the reception of our friends the
militia," lie said. "Some think their
coining bodes danger. They are not
dangerous so long as the dignity and
honor of the State is not insulted. We
must arrange for their cordial reception.
Every man, woman and child should re
ceive them with open arms. In the in
terest of humanity 1 think we should do
this."
Eulogistic reference to Governor Patti
sou brought forth cheers. "This man
Pattisou is acting quietly and rightly,
said the burgess. lie understands our
xisitiou. He does not cajcr to monopo
ies. I say Robert E. Pattisou will not
permit insults to the people of Home
stead and surrounding country." Great
applause followed.
lhe burc-esa said the I inkertons were
conceiitr.'itmir their forces and he real
ized that when their hireling hordes
struck the shores of Homestead there
must be bloodshed. "Every one knows,"
he said, "that the blow struck against
the Piukerton agency by the men of
Homestead was the greatest it has e cr
received."
"We'll give them another," shouted a
workman.
Continuing, the burgess, characterized
tho Pinkertons as a dirty, stinking or
ganization. He struck a responsive
cnoru in ins audience ana encers ioi-
lowed his scathing utterances. " Your
friends are about to come," he said in
reference to the militia "the safest, the
best people that can come. We don't
want Pinkertons here. We want the
militia. Pattisou wants to defend Hie
people, the State, her constitution and
her laws. He is the most noble and
manly of men. I stand here to say that
any man who insults life militia shall be
taken to the river and. ducked. (Laugh
ter.) But 1 know you won't allow tbinj;
of this sort."
At this point a workman moved that
any man who offered insults to the mili
tia should be ducked in the river, and
the motion went through with a whoop.
.. ...The burgessUhen, went on to tell of ar:
raiigements for receiving the militia. The
best plan, he said, was to get out the
Homestead band. Applause greeted an
announcement that the band had already
volunteered to go.
The burgess directed the president of
each workmen's lodge to notify the mem
bers to be ready to form in a body and
receive the militia when they arrived.
One, workman suggested that measures
be taken to prevent the militiamen from
committing breaches of the peace but tho
suggestion received scant recognition
and was allowed to drop. Concerning
order in tho town the burgess said he had
been swearing in special policemen all
day and that he would issue a proclama
tion directing all strangers to keep away
during tho reception ol the militia. "We
do not want from 25,000 to lO.OOO people
here for we can't look out for- them," he
said.- "Hold yourselves in readiness to
form and receive the military," were his
concluding words.
Mr. O'Dounell called on John M.Car
ter, a newspaper reporter, to tell what
Governor Pattisou had said to him last
night, about the peoplo of Homestead.
"The Governor," said Mr. Carter, "told
him that the people of Homestead were
the most intelligent and honest people in
Pennsylvania. They had not done $25,
000' worth of damaure to the Cameirie
property:'1"" Whcnbc-talkcd twith the
Governor the latter told him there was a
probability of sending troops to Home
stead. 'Tthmklilg'reasonTor doing jo,""
said Mr. Carter, "was because he believed
the Pinkertons were massing and he
wanted to protect the people of Home
stead, and not others."
The death of Kate Castletou, the well
known actress, is reported from Provi
dence. ,

Btrwervcr, -objected, and a partiamcnf,-1

Mr. Washburn thereupon addre-sed the

It wUS iiol ileSlgliea Ut interfere With le
gitimate trade but simply to prevent
gambling iu food or agricultural pro
ducts. The gamblers had lost no oppor
tunity of creating false impressions as to
the purpose of the bill, iu order to enlist
the bankers and the merchants on their
side to give respectability to tlieir pro
tests. It is not the purpose of the bill to
interfere with the bargain or purchase ol
property where tbe party wa.- the "ivnc
or hud a contract to acquire po.-,setMoii
of the same. It-did not seek, in any way,
to interfere with legitimate commerce,
but it was directed against that gigantic
modem innoyiitiou known as "dealing In
futures," a system under which; by mis
representation and tricks of iiaJr. nic'.
fraud, it was possible to juggle values and
practically to eliminate from the com
mercial world the laws of supply and de
maud, by the most pernicious system
that the wit and skill of man had ever
been able to devise. Next to wheat,
cotton, he believed, had suffered most
severely by the operations of the market -wreckers.
Mr. Washburn asserted that
the great millionaires of the country, al
uioat without exception, had notxreated
or earned their wealth. Stock and grain
gambling, .market-wrecking, railroad
Wrecking, and all Hie nefarious .methods
brought into play during the past 25
years, had produced these enormous and
uuwhoWjKoneH accretions of weaith.
At the close of Mr. Washburn's
speech, the sundry civil bill was again
taken up. The pending question was
Mr. Quay's amendment to close the
World's I1 air on Sunday.
Mr. Mauderson, Republican, of Ne
braska, moved as an amendment to strike
out the word "Sabbath day" and to in
sert a proviso (that the mechanical
portion of the exposition should be
closed on the lirst day of the week, com
monly called Sunday.
Mr. I'ettigrew, of South Dakota, chair
man of the committee on quadro ce'iteu
nial, said the feeling was general in the
country that the managers did not intend
to close the exposition ou Sunday and
advocated stringent legislation bv Con
gress to compel Sunday closing.
. Mr, Sanders, Rcpubic.a.iu.uL Montana,
spoke strongly on the othr side. ,lle
said that every gambler aud saloon
keeper in the city of Chicago hoped this
proviso would be inserted in the bill so
that the hundreds of thousand of visi
tors should be turned loose on the streets
of the city to become a prey to all the
wickedness there, to be found. He should
move to lay both Mr. Quay's resolution
and Mr. Mamlerson's amendment on the
table.
Mr. Vest said at the proper time he
should move an amendment providing
that if the commission should decide to
open tbe exposition on Sunday the ma
chinery should be stopped, and there
should be an entire cessation of all un
necessary labor on the part of the em
ployes and attendants, and further that
it should be the duty of tho commission
to provide a suitable hall for religious
services and to issue invitations without
discrimination to the different denomina
tions of the United States to hold reli
gious exercises that opportunity should
be given to every sect and faith. He be
lieved it was desirable, even m the inter
est of religion and morality, to keep the
exposition partially open ou Sunday.
Mr. Cullom, Kepublicun, of Illinois,
said that lie was informed by the presi
dent of the commission that a meeting
of the commission was to be held in Chi
cago in October to determine the rules
and regulations by which the World's
Fair will be governed. It seemed to
him, therefore, in view of this fact, that
it would be wise for Congress to post
pone action on this matter till its mod
ule in December.
Mr. Hawley, Republican, of Connec
ticut, said there was no longer any dis
guise about the matter. Unless this pro
viso was inserted in the bill, the exposi
tion would be opened on Sunday. If
Congress failed to provide for the closing
of the exposition on Sunday, it would
grieve ten millions of people and would
open the flood gates for incalculable mis
chief. Mr. Peffer, Farmers' Alliance, of Kan
sas, said although all the States in the
Union had laws requiring the observance
of Sunday, none of them enforced them.
Senators themselves, though now en
gaged in a theological discussion, re
ceived their mail twice every Sunday,
and went on their little private excur
sions down the river or elsewhere. A
great deal of this talk of ours about ob
servance of Sunday was sheer hypocricy.
He favored stopping the runumg ma
chinery on Sunday and prohibiting the
sale of intoxicants at all times.
--.Mrryerltepobliaut. Jlaiini.ai(L
ue was proua to say mat he would vote
for Sunday, and would not vote for an
appropriation for this exposition if it
was to be opened on Sunday; He be
lieved the salvation of the country 'de
pended upon a nearer approach to the
ftunuay of the early days.
Mr. Morgan, Democrat, of Alabama,
said he supposed th return to tho Sun
days of the early days meant a return to
tho old blue laws of. Connecticut and
Massachusetts, which made it a high mis
demeanor for a man to kiss his wife on
Sunday, Israelites or seventh, day Bap
tists might justly consider the closing of
the exposition on the seventh day of tho
week a hardship. Ho often thought It a
uicrcfful"dlRpetiBntion:that"wo (lid:not
know exactly what day of the week -4he
"Sabbath" fell on.-Ihrtjpposed-all at'
tempts to unite Church and State. . .
At 5:48 Mr. Quay, finding no probabil
ity of reaching a vote to-day, moved to
adjourn, and the Senate adjourned until
to-morrow. v
MET HS MERITED END,
Bavaehol, Hobber, Murderer, Anarehlet,
Dynamiter, Guillotined.
Montuiubon, July 11. M Dlebler;
popularly and facetiously known as M.
de Paris, the public executioner, arrived
here from Park at 5 o'clock Sunday
evening, and at once began preparations
forihe execution of the notorious Rava
chol. The scaffold was erected In a pub
lic place, about sixty metres from the
prison. . ; -
Bavaehol could plainly hear the car
'enteis "at work id its" Construction.
Abmu'4 o-fcrocrtrnf mofntfig' Ravacliol,
who hud fallen asleep iu suite of his
knowledge that his death was imminent,
was aroused, and notified that his time
had come. He assumeiJffSn air of brava
do, and made a mocking reply. lie
rudely refused the religious offices ten
dered by the prison priest. When his
toilet TO nnlslictt W ulimented laugh
ingly upon his dudish appearance as
being somewhat out of place on such an
occasion.
After he had been securely bound, M.
Berger, assistant to "M do Paris," cut
away the prisoner's collar aud shaved off
his back hair. Ravacliol joked with
those around him and indulged in pro
fane and indecut comments, but instead
of creating the desired impression of in
difference, he showed plainly that he was
feverishly excited and hardly knew what
he was saying. These preparations com
pleted, the prisoner was led forth from
the prison, placed in the prison van and
tlUlflpl tolliC plate Of EXetUtlup Mound
which a cordon of troops had been drawn.
When the prison van reached the scaf
fold Ravacliol was asked if he desired to
say anything. He replied that he would
address the crowd, but instead of speak
ing he began to sing an indecent song,
aud danced to the refrain as well as he
could, w ilh his ankles strapped.
The officers in charge soon tired of
'Ins burlesque and gave the signal to M.
Ue Paris. The executioner's assistants
at once seized Ravacliol, whereupon the
bitter's demeanor suddenly changed. He
dropped his assumption of indifference,
and struggled furiously, but was speedily
overpowered and borne to the fatal block.
Even while being tied down on the plank
he continued his futil struggles, uttering
meanwhile the fouleBt epithets and curses.
The indecent aud blasphemous tirade
was cut short by the swift descent of the
knife, and at seven minutes past 4 o'clock
the head of the notorious robber, incen
diary and murderer rolled into the bas
ket. The crowd witnessed tho horrible
sight with the same stolid indifference
that bad characterized thoir conduct
throughout. There was none of the
hil.irity common to Parisian .crowds on
such occasions, and it was evident that
no anarchistic sympathy was felt for the
man who had pretended to commit his
crimes in the interest of the people.
lUvachol was one of the most extra
ordinary criminals of the ago. IHh first
murder was that of the Hermit of Cham
bles, Brother Jacques Brunei, in the
month of dune, 18H1. Brunei was an old
man of 00, who lived in a state of soli
tude amidst the Froez mountains. The
object was robbery. Rachovel was ar
rested but escaped, hix weeks later he
killed and robbed two ladies at St Eti-
enne. lie escaped without being arrest
ed. About the same time he robbed the
grave ot Haroness tie Itoedetailles, near
St. Etienne. In 1MH0, near La Varizelle,
ie killed an old man of 80, Jean llaptiato
Rivollier, noted for ujs charity. He also
killed an old woman, servant of Rivollier.
Besides these crimes he was suspected
of many others, previous to his dynamite
operation in Paris, which caused the loss
t several lives, aud dcst!:u.dUou...of much
property.
