service of patriotic worship once every
year! has never yet been appreciated by
taut state quite to the extent that It
should. Guilford is indeed a veritable
Mecca of patriotism. The government

tne preservation or military parks mark

civil war, and yet Judge Schenek prac

single nanaed has dotted the Guilford
field with monuments and made it a
bower of beauty such as would "be a

the States of the Union. Of course
, great credit is due to the wealthy and
patriotic r sons and daughters of the
State, who have been 'enlisted in the
cause, but Judge Schenek has had all
the work and. worry, but we hope,
V withal, great pleasure and satisfaction in
his success.

FKOP. HARRINGTON'S SUCCESSOR.
Prof. fVIIllam Haore, ef Chicago, lfecom-
m ended by Secretary Morton for Chief
; of the Weather Bureau.
Washington, July 3;-Prof Willi am
Li. Moore, of Chicago, who Tias been
recommended by Secretary Morton, as
the new chief of tbe Weather Bureau,
ia regarded, as one of the best forecast
ers in the serviceand has a reputation
for accuracy second to none in the De

of Secretary Morton abodt a year ago.
when the Secretary began a .thorough

view of materially improving that ser
vice ana causing ft to issue practical in
formation for the-farmer, merchant,
sailor and every other lineof business
in which tha condition of the weather
ana the approach or storms had any
thing to do.
Circulars were-issued to the better
class of local forecasters, asking for
essays ; on the, practical forecasting of
tne : weather Bureau. About 30 ol the
men replied. -These essays, numbered,
but with their authors names unknown.
were- turned over to a board, consist ins
01 Uhiet Harrington, froressor Mend an -hall
and Maj. Dunwoody. This board
selected the best of the essays, less than
ten, and . the .writers were ordered to
Washington to make reports. This was
done for a month, and Moore receiving
the highest percentage, almost 100, was
given the position of professor of mete
orology at a salary of $2,500. He was,
prior to this, local forecaster at Mil
waukee, but after his promotion was
transferred to Chicago. During last
winter he made a wonderful record,
considering the character of the weather.
There-were numerous cold waves dur
ing that season, some of them of un
usual severity, and it was his marvelous
accuracy in predicting their coming
that again attracted, the attention of
Secretary Morton
One thing that pleased the Secretary
was Moore s fashion of making state

SIARYSVH.I.K, Miss., July 3. -Never, in
the history of this village, has such a
crowd been assembled as was here to
day, j Every species of vehicles, " all
classes of mules and all grades and pedi
grees of horses were to be seen comiDg
from early this morning until the hour
fixed for the execution. There has been
some talk of a rescue, but upon investi.
gation ic turned out to be unfounded.
It may be added, however, that the ne
groes of Issaquena county are almost a
unit in their feeling in this' matter, and
all of them agree that the men are being
punished properly. The only difference
of opinion anywhere to be found is the
fact that tbe banging is public, which
appears to some as an -unjust exhibition
of the power of the law. At 11 o'clock,
under a strong guard, the .men were
taken from their places in the jail where
they have been for some time and con
ducted to the place of execution. :
- It will be remembered that D, R,
Kingr-a fiatboat man moored his craft
at a point a short distance below Caro
lina Landing last March and proceeded
to carry on the business of selling goods
to the people living along, the oanks of
the great stream. ' This population is
composed almost exclusively of colored
people, the whites being about 10 to 15
per cent. ' The remained for some
time' making ; a few ' acquaintances
among the more influential people. It
appeared that King and his family be
came popular with this population and
remained .longer than is usual with
this class of tradesmen. r: In the boat
were King, . his .wife, the story of
whose heroism' has thrilled' the eon
tinenV and an infant. On the night
of the - 13th of May a man
called at the tiatboat at about
o'clock and was admitted. ;A few min
utes were spent In chatting1 after a pur
chase of a few small articles," when-out
of the "darkness came a shot which
struck King full in tbe face and neck
Pandemonium reigned, and amid tears
and cries, Bob PurviB and Grant Wil
son were asked to leave. The shot had
been fired, according to his own state
ment, by Griff Hubbard, who said that
his intention had been to -frighten the
flatboat - man - while his confederate
plundered the boat. Their plan mis
carried, and they were pushed out into
the darkness and after a few hours re-
aewed the attack, which was repelled
oy toe wife with her busband s weapons.
King was left alone with his family,
who were without medical attention for
three or - four days, and. was .finally
brought to lcksburg, where be died in
the hospital. . The prisoners were ar
rested and made divers and sundry con
fessions to numbers of persons, differing
in detail, but agreeing in the main fact
that au three of them and no other bad
been engaged in a conspiracy to rob and
plunder King's boat, but agreeing that
murder was not their , purpose when
tney maae tne attack, it wm be re
membered that Judge Gilland called a
special term or the Circuit Court to -try
these men and after a trial, attended
with many dramatic incidents, they
were convicted and sentenced" to be
hanged to-day. The gallows was built
with the drop for the prisoners instead of
a weight as is the custom in the countv,
AH three were firm and apparently free
rrom the rear which ia some times ex
hibited by men under like conditions
The doomed men made statements to
the vast throng present,warning the
young against similar fates, and assur
ing their hearers that they were at
peace with the Great Judge who sits in
ine uourt oi ijast uesort. xnere was a
greadeal of sobbing among the im
pressionable ones in the crowd, but no
incidents ' occurred to interrupt the
execution.
At 11:43 the. trap was sprunsr. and
Bob Purvis, Grilf Hubbard and Grant
Wilson fell swiftly through the opening
into the .great unknown. They spun
around at a rapid rate for a minute and
finally settled down with their faces in
different directions Dr. :W. Scudder.
prominent physician, pronounced
Grant Wilson and Bob Purvis dead af
ter six minutes, while signs of life
were apparent ia Griff Hubbard for ten
minutes after. Within a few minutes
after the three men were cut down a
violent rain storm caused evervbodv to
look for shelter.
-For some days the more superstitious
among, our colored people have been
saying "that the excessive rains which
have rendered a cotton crop of apy size
an impossibility, and damaged the corn
crop greatly, would not cease until this
hanging was over. The storm to-day
but confirms - their opinion that t he
Heavens are weeping over the shedding
of so much blood. They say now that
fair days and dewy nights will be the
rule and that the cotton will grow and
that the grass will fade' beneath the
sun's uninterrupted rays.

THE IRON TRADE IMPROVING.

and Trade Review will say to-morrow:
With all wage scales settled, the iron
trade enters upon the second half of
the year with prospects of the heaviest
summer output in years, oiruummi
mills, plate and bar mills., fcast and
West, are well supplied with oraers.ana
rail mills have a tonnage oeiore mem
that is in decided contrast to their beg
ffarlv orders a vear ago. a he settle
ment of the bar iron scale nas Drougni,
with it the announcement of an advance
to $1 20 for eommon iron at the alley
Mills. -Sixty days on this new basis,
(and the probability is that prices may
be higher berore that time;, win give
the puddlers an advance to $4.25 by
September 1st and thus their demand
has been met hair way before they have
had time to organize the threatened se-
ced;n2 movement. Two 1'ittsburg non
union mills, moreover, nave airaaay an
nounced a St. 25 rate. "
Another advance at this time of $l.a
ton has just been made by. the bouth
frn furnaces, and it carries with it a
higher wage for labor at the mines of
the producing companies. T.he present
Birmingham basis is $S.o for gray
forge, $0.73 for No. 1 and $9.25
fr No. 2. Charcoal irons have
not shared with tbe product ofv coke
furnaees in the recent advances, and
stransre as it mav appear, there have
been a few sales of Lake Superior char-
coal to take the place of coke iron be
cause of the hither price ot tne latter.

vance and the scarcity of steel is being
emphasized every week, no indication
appearing that the upward movement
is to-be interrupted. '-...A sale of 1,500
