A circular has been issued calling for a meeting of the ladies of W'instnn-Salem to be held at the Opera house to-morow night, the object of which is to organize a committee whose duty it will be to raise funds with which to aid In defray ing the expenses of the proposed four days encampment at VY rightsville or the lisablod Confederate veterans now living in North Carolina. The ladies of Wil mington, it seems, have undertaken to provide for the sustenance of the indigent and disabled patriots of the lost cause and it is deemed but proper that they should receive assistance. Tile call that was issued here for a pub lic meeting was written and signed by four of Winston-Salem's patriotic old soldiers. Since the city of Winston failed to vote tmiuls tor the purchase of a controlling interest in the water works, the owners have decided to issue bonds themselves to the amount of $100,000 with which to improve their plant. The company says that it expects to lay over eight-' miles of additional pipe at once. Twelve thousand water melons have been sold in Winston-Salem thus far this season. Grand Encampment I. O. O. F.

Aa Interenllnn and HoincwhatKxeltiiiR Debate Mr. Keed Indulges In HlUual Sarcasm Mr.: ..Culberson Made the Speech of the Day and It Was for Sliver The Struggle Shorter Than -Had Beta Expected. tXsniyGroiJuly 13.- Hot;bk. Not since the silver bill was under con-, sideration last April, has the House of Representatives contained so many mem bers as were present this morning. Even before the liousc assembled mere was largely more than a quorum present, and the members were engaged in discussing the probablo result of the silver battle. Although the day was hot, the attendance in the galleries was conspicuously large. A number Of private pension bills which had been considered in committee of the whole last night Vere passed, after which Mr. Catchings, Democrat, of Mississippi, called ap4he resolution Ifom- -tlie- -eom- mittee on rules, -setting apart to-day and to-morrow for the consideration of the silver bill, and demanded the previous question on its adoption. Mr. Heed, Hepuullcan, ot Maine, claimed that he had a right to move to lay thcresolution on the table before the previous question was put.' The Speaker said the gentleman lrom Maine could not take the gentleman from Mississippi off the tloor and could only obtain it if the latter should yield to him. Mr. Catchings inquired if he had a right to portion out his time. The Speaker replied altlrmativeiy. Air. Catchings having yielded to Mr. Maud, tx . . !.:'-- : tJemotrai, 01 xuiasouri, me unscuasiuu uu- gan- . Air. Uland sent to the desk ana uact read an amendment to the resolution which provided that iu the event the latter was adopted and unless the lull Was disposed of -before 2 o'clock to morrow, the previous question shall be considered ordered on the amendments that may be pending on the bill on its engrossment, third reading and final passage, and thereafter no dilatory mo tion shall be entertained by the Speaker until the bill shall be finally disposed of. Speaking to the amendment, Mr. llland referred to a cloture rule which ue sain some members were afraid of, yet for the last fifty years cloture rules had pre vailed. There is no way to get a vote on the final passage Of the bill without such rule. He submitted this amendment without fear or favor. He wanted the country to understand his position. Mr. Iiartme, of Nevada, followed .Mr. Bland. For the reasons advanced by Mr. Iiland, he should vote against sustaining the previous question on this resolution for under its terms be ilul not believe 11 possible to reach a vote on the'main ques tion, and a direct vote was what he want ed to reach. Mr. Clarke threw a bombshell into the free silver camp by opposing the passing Of the bill. Even if it passed here the President would veto it, he said, and this would be givimr linn a club with which to injure the Democratic party. lie would vote against it because the Democratic irty at its national convention had by its declarations adopted a silver plank clearly inconsistent with the present bill. Its declared policy could not be mistaken (Applaase by the anti-silver men.) Air. - Foruian, Uemowat, - oi-- luiuois, followed with a similar speech. Mr. Patterson, Democrat, of Tennessee, also surprised' the free silver men by speaking against the bill. The Demo cratic party stood together for tarilT re form, home rule, States' rights, but they were divided on the silver question. 1 he Republican party had tendered a pro tective tarilf anil a force bill as the issues of the campaign. It should be a fair and square light on the great political issues. Silver was not an issue as both parties were divided upon it. Mr. ditchings: I now yield to the gentleman from Maine. Mr. Heed congratulated the Democratic party upon its attitude of repentance, (Laughter.) A; the time gentlemen were proclaiming how sorry they wcrr fur the views they recently entertained, his mind was occupied by the picture of the Dem ocratic party as a minority of this Mouse in the last Congress, lie remembered how fierce tliey then were on the lloor. lie remembered the announcement of the distinguished gentleman who lias since become the Speaker of the House that the one thing the Democratic patty yearned fur was free silver, (laughter), and that declaration was followed in the Congres sional Kueord by"Applause on the Dem ocratic side" lie remembered that the distinguished gentleman who on account of his many virtues was made chairman of the committee 011 ways and means, anil the leader of this House, announced that he, too, representing the Democratic party, was in favor of the free coinage of silver, which caused applause on the Democratic side. He remembered how cheer after cheer followed this earnest and vigorous speech on this question.. For a moment it actually seemed to him that the Democratic par ty had struck a level which might be called a level of principle. The gentle man from Tennessee (Mr. Patterson) had cleared all that matter up. lie had ex plained the real principle for which the ihsmocratic party contended, but lie had somewhat embellished that principle in order to make a quotation. He said that the great principle which underlies the Democratic party is public ollic, and lie adds that it is a public trust, too. That reveals the nakedness of the true prin ciple of the Democratic party. When ever it came to actual business the He publican party took the front position as it does to-day. (Applause). That party opposed any plan which would injure the business of the people. He was not complaining,, he said, that the Demo cratic party did not have the courage of its bad principles. The Democratic par ty catered to the lack of knowledge of the people to win ollices and votes. He did not criticise the trembling voices in which the repentant sinner announced his return home. (This remark complete ly upset the gravity of the House and roars of laughter followed). Mr. Heed, continuing, said that there were different classes of men who were in favor of free coinage. There were men in the West who were honestly con trolled by their interests and who did not see the damage they would do to the business of the couutry,or even to them selves. With snch men he had a reason able degrce of sympathy. There was an other class, with whom he had no svmna- 1 thyT and that was thVcks who- dii ud to uebaae. the currency for the purpose uf paying their debts in a cheaper coinage than that in which they had contracted them. There was another class which was sometimes represented on this floor, who, without conviction on the subject or belief In the principles advocated, joined In the popular clamor In order to get for themselves offices and euable their party to assume that public trust they were so anxious to obtain. The Republican par- ty was not established for the purpose of procuring offices. (Jeers on tho Demo cratic side). It stood for principle and to-day it was enabling by Its actions Democratic Ilouse to do a bettor service for ourselves than a Republican Senate could do for us.-(Applause.).- 1SIIav'rtaTrWg1ng' spetieu" in sup port of the resolution, lie said that he would cast his vote tu accord with his ac tion heretofore. The silver bill was In strict accordance with the -doctrines of the Democratic party. Its loaders have said that It was in favorof Jrce silver. He desired to say to some of the gentle men who had Ispoken (referring to Mr. Clarke, of Alabama, and Mr. Patterson, of Tennessee,) that they had repudiated the platforms of their Slates and of the national convention. (Tremendous ap plause by the free silver men.) If the ar gument of the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Clarke), that the bill would be ve toed and therefore should not be passed, was tenable, why was the Democratic party shooting -on ;:popgtin tariff bills? (Loud applause and cheers by the silver advocates.) He believed in standing by the history of the party ami by t horee. ord of the majority of thai party. Mr. Culberson,, Democrat, of Texas, came to the rescue of the silver advo cates, in the niost effective speech of the day. He inqulted why were the galler ies crowded with people and what meant the large attendance in the press gallery? This was. not a tariff debate.. It was the great battle of the common people against monopolies. (Applause and shouts.) This matter must be discussed at length and might be covered up but it would come to the front. It was a but tle between the common people and the money power of this country. He would hurl back to the gentleman from Maine the charge that the Demo cratic' party was in favor of debasing the currency of this country. The Charge was gratuitous and unfounded. From the organization of the Democratic party until the present day it had been the ad vocate and defender of the'sound money of this country. The Republican party, through domestic and foreign bond holders, destroyed silver in 1H73 and 1874, and robbed the people of the coun try of millions of money. (Cheers.) From 1873 to 187S the representatives of the people the Democratic party strug gled as men never struggled before to break this accursed financial despotism which had been placed upon ihe people. In 1878 this object was accomplished. A free coinage bill was then passed in tho House, which was non-concurred iu by the Senate; a compromise was forced on the Ilouse, and on that compromise we have accumulated since then four hun dred million silver dollars. Put for the Democratic party the country would be struggling along with a hundred millions of silver money, whereas we have at this time six hundred millions of money. The speech of Mr. Culberson was the speech of the day and he was frequently interrupted by applause. The debate was closed by Mr. llland who went into a brief technical discus sion upon the silver question, iUiting statistics to show Hie present condition of that metal. - Mr. Catchings then demanded the pre vious question on the passage of the res olution. The Ilouse was now all excite ment. Mr. Tracy demanded the yeas and nays, which were ordered, and the vote resulted: Yeas K:i, nays 12!t. The an nouncement of the vote created little excitement as it was expected the previous question would be ordered. Mr. Catching moved the passage of the resolution and on the viva voce vote the Speaker declared that the noes had it. The yeas and nays were called for by Mr. Tracey. The ilouse was in compar ative quiet, the members leaving their seats after voting, and before the roll call had proceeded very far it was evi dent that the resolution was dead. Be fore the vote was announced Mr. Living ston, Democrat, of Georgia, moved to adjourn, but the Speaker gave the result of the vote aid then inquired: "Does the gentleman from Georgia move to ad journ'r'' 1 "Not now,". was the the reply, The vote resulted : Yeas Ltd, nays 1.11. I'pou the announcement of the vote, Mr, .McKeighan, Democrat, of Nebraska, n member of the coinage committee and a pronounced free silver advocate, claim ed recognition from the chair. Ilest I in the main aisle and plainly showed his chagrin. Speaker Crisp asked . "For what pur pose does the gentleman rise''" "To make a motion." The Speaker: "The gentleman will state it." Mr. McKeighan - "I mote to adjourn, if Wall street ' lint before he could conclude the sen tence his voice was drowned with cries of "rats," ami other unseemly invectives. The Sneakier rapped him to order with his gavel. Thus ended the attempt to pass the silver bill, which promised to be more of a contest, and the Ilouse proceeded with the consideration of a conference report on a private claim bill. Upwards of 'fifty private pension bills were passed, and then the House adjourn ed iiiiiil to-morrow. A liny Murder In I'eiiimylviiiili).

Pkiiuia, 111., July Li The waves of the Illinois river now rollover the forms nf a score of ticoplc ' who, only a few hours ago, were en oying themselves to the fullest extent. At 10 .-o'clock last night a cyclone swept over the city, caving death und destruction in its wake. The most serious and appalling disaster of the night was caused by the capsizing of the pleasure steamer Frank C. r nlsom, at the foot of Caroline street. At Lake View Park, a mile above the city, a representation of Pompeii was ivcn. For this occasion the Folsotn, a Pekin boat, came up with 40 people A landing was made here and two or three couples joined the party. Fifteen thers also got on board the boat at the park, so Hint the passenger list reached lull till. As the boat came. ..out of the amiing and started down to the city it was stnu k-by the cyclone and turned er. It was a little midway in the river and sank rapidly. wing to the tempest the cries of the passengers could not be heard. Word was conveyed to the po lice stiilinii and every mnii ordered to the scene. Small boats were put out to the Folsom, the hull of which could be seen n hen the lake was illuminated by vivid Mashes of lightning, and four tier- sons were taken oil it by the first boat out. 1 1 Is known that there are over a dozen in the cabin of the ill-fated ' steamer. When the boat careened over every one rushed to the sinking side to escape the f'eatn and many of thein were wash ed overboard One man who has just been brought off says he saw several wo men fastened down under the wreck and they were cooked to death by the steam. Lvcry tune the boat careened the poor unfortunates clinging to the rails would release their hold and disappear in the waves. There are 1H dead ill the Folsom, ac cording to the count last made. Only about one-half of those will be found in the cabin of tho boat for the others were swept off the rail into the river. I'-very one in the vicinity has thrown open their houses and the work of lescue is going 011 rapidly. There are now eight bodies at the morgue. Five of them arc women and only three have been identified. They are those who w ere caught near the es caping steam and their features are burn ed until they are unrecognizable. A I'll trlotlr.

Cleary. Sheriff. McCleary has hinted that he will arrest several of tho leaders iu thQ battle agaiust the Pinkertoha. In such action as this lies . the greatest danger ot bloodshed. With the cool heads of tho leaders withdrawn from the people, authority anioug the workme will cease and inhumed talk will incite the hot-blooded strikers to something reckless. Mutters have quieted down to-day, and the spirit of peace socni9 to pervade tho air. No fear of trouble is cntortainod unless Mr. Prick places non-union mon in his works. It is the general belief here that Mr. Prick wlll ihan the mill with new workmen as soon as possible, lie has practically admitted that such was his intention. The news that the men employed in Carnegie's Upper and Lower Union Mills at 1'ittBburg had met and notified the management th'it unless negotiations looking 10 a settlement of. the trouble at liuimsicad were ope'ned by Thursday the men in all departments would walk out at the conduMon of that day's work, caused much rejoicing among the lockod out Carnegie men here. One of the leaders said that he had expected such action some days ago and he was glad that the Pittsburg men had come to real ize that the defeat of the Homestead men meant defeat of organized labor in the steel Industry , and particularly in all of the Carnegie mills. Major General Snowden has located his headquarters in the Carnegie school house on the brow of the hill. A line of pickets was established around the building and when a United Press re porter attempted to visit the command ing ollicerlate last night he was startled by hearing: "Halt; who goes there? Stand back ten feet." A musket with fixed bayonet thrust under the reporter's nose induced him to fall back. One of theguard then escorted him to Guard No 1, where au olllcer was fouud who examined his pass and admitted him within the lines. The passes are issued lo newspaper men having credentials from Hie papers and press associations which they represent, and admit within all lines from ii a. m. to 10 p. m. They are signed by Major General Suowden and Mai Kvaus, aide-de camp. A telegram was received at Gen. Snowden's headquarters just before noon to day stating that a number of non union men had been engaged by Mr. Prick, and were on tin ir way to Home stead. A message was sent asking for further particulars hut no satisfactory reply was obtained. The fact that any messages on the subject had been re ceived was kept very quiet. The officers at headquarters said In reply to all in quiries that they had uo Information to impart on the subject. Word was passed ,to ihi Ailllccr.slu. .co.uiinund of the dllTcr-J cut regiments to hi; iu readiness for ord ers, and preparations were made for a detail of guards to quell any" disturbance in Homestead or vicinity. Humors of thecomingof non-union men.tir "black sheep," as they are called, ale current among the mil) men to-day. Chairman Oates, of the congressional committee of investigation, wired Ser geant Major Wurman, of Governor Hut- tison's stalf to-day, to send the roster of the Pinkerton men iu the battle of tho bai lies. Mai. Wurman iinmediatelr wired to Harrisburg directing the information to re sent to Col. Oates at Pittsburg. A delegation of workmen from the Duquesne Mills of the Carneirie Company visited Homestead to day mid had a con ference with members of the advisory committee of the workmen. The strikers were assured that the Duquesne men were ready to go out at anytime and only waited the word of the Homestead advi sory committee, rliis offer, coupled with the report of the proposed strikes of men in the 1 wenty ninth and 1 hirty-third street mills iu Pittsburg and those at iraddock, gave great eucuragement to the workmen. Ln conversation with a prominent mem ber, of the advisory committee this after noon, a United Press reporter called at tention to the intimation by Mr. Love- joy, of the Carnegie company, that non union men would be placed in the Home stead mills. "Oh, he won't do that : peo ple have heard him talk before," said the advisory committeeman, "but nearly everybody thinks he will," said the re porter. W ell, if he attempts that, was the answer, "there will be lots of news for you. We are determined not to al low uon-union men in tho mill, and we will keep U our determination without regard for the consequences." Krlek Will Nut Confer With the Home atuHd Men I'nder Any Clrcumstanoes. PiTTsiii'iio, Pa., July 18. Secretary Lovejoy, of the Carnegie Steel Company, this morning declined to discuss the sit uation or futuro except as to the action to be taken in reference to tho notice from the Heaver Falls and Upper and Lower Union Mills, that unless the com pany granted a conference with the Home stead workers the men in the mills named would come out, and on this question he said: "Tho action of . the men in these mills will have no weight In this question nor will their request be granted. The policy of the company has been fixed and will not be altered. We will hold no conference with the Homestead mill uion whatever-the-"resultr This- w -haw stated at numerous times and our posi tion has not and will not change.

The new move- lnent of the Third party Is , not to put ur its own people, but to put up Prohi bitionists and then give them Third party support and not only this but Ite- putm&an support, too, wherever poeu Lie. tills triangular combination Is one -of the thing they e intent npoa work-i ing in the. western part of the State par- ticularly. &t.
