Correspondence of the Observer -
PrsEviLi.E, Aug. 13. With the excep
tion of a few - localities, the section of
country embraced within a radius of
five m ilea of PiDeville has been visited
by good rains within the last week, and
crops are greatly improved, The corn
crop will be above an average one. The
whole season, thus far, has been so no
favorable to cotton that perhaps not
more than three-fourths of a yield (re
duction in acreage not considered), can
be counted on, no matter how favorable
subsequent seasons may be.
The protracted meetings that have
been conducted during the past week at
Harrison, Ebernezer and Center have
closed. Several members were received
into each church and much good done.
The meeting at Flint Hill is still in
progress and will probably continue
throughout the week.
Miss Mamie Meacham, of Fort Mill,
returned home to-day after spending
several days in town with Miss Minnie
Garrison and other friends. Miss
Meacham took a special course in music
this summer at the celebrated
Brattleboro Music School in Vermont,
which, added to her other accomplish
ments and personal charms, 'renders
her a very popular young lady.
Pineville has an innovation in the
way of drug clerks. Miss Annie Bell
Rone is filling this position most ac
ceptably in her father's drug store.
Mr. Mood Lee, an old Pineville boy,
who is now head clerk in a drug store
in Memphis, is here on a visit to Dr.
Rone and other friends.
Pink Hunter, colored, living on Mr.
Oscar Bell's place, nearly cut one of his
feet off a few days ago. While chop
ping wood the axe gianced and struck
his foot about the i nstep, making a deep
gash and severing several arteries,
causing a considerable loss of blood.
Dr. W. K. lieid attended him.
Messrs. V ill and Tom Smith have
engaged in a new industry. They have
opened up a horse-pital. Diseased,
crippled, aged and infirm horses
groomed and treated as their cases may
demand. They have fine pastures in
which convalescents are grazed. Mr.
Will Smith has charge of the veterinary
department and is applying himself as
siduously to study along that line.

Special to the Observer.,
Washington, Aug.14. The silver
conference which convened to-day at
noon at the Metropolitan Hotel is one
of the most representative bodies 1 have
known.
North Carolina's representation was a
fair type of the body.
There, were 85 members present, rep
resenting twenty States a" smaller
number of States than was expected,
but fully as many persons as were
looked for. The proceedings were per
fectly harmonious and in excel
lent order and system, as might
be expected from such experienced par
liamentary leaders as Harris and Jones.
The spirit of ttaemembership was ear
nest and their manner business-like. It
is believed by the conferees and their
silver friends here that the conference
will material! v aid in the shaninir nf
Democratic policies in the country for
the next four years. The universal re
port of the conferees as to every State
represented is that the cause of free sil
ver is as strong as ever. Judge Qary
brings the news from the far North
west, as Hinrichsen and others from Il
linois, and Mr. Brookshire from Indiana.
Governor Stone reports for Missouri.
Ex-Senator Jarvis, sitting in General
Ransom's old room opposite the Metro
politan parlors, said to-day: "Among
the class of persons who had not before
any well denned opinions and another
class who are disposed to adopt the
views of the administration, there have
been a few accessions to the gold side,
but the great body of the people of
North Carolina are just as decidedly in
favor of the free coinage of silver as
they were three or four months ago. I
should say there are not more than one-
fifth of the Democrats in the aggregate
on the gold side to four-fifths on the
de of silver. In some counties the
proportion may be as one in twenty; in
others as one in two. I was told by in
telligent citizens of Rowan that Mr.
Walter Murphy's claim that the county
was against silver shows that he knows
nothing about the sentiment of the
county. Those citizens say that Rowan
s for free silver. In some of the coun
ties in the Charlotte region there is
more of the gold feeling than elsewhere.
North Carolina is as a whole a strong
free silver State, and as you well know
it is going to remain so. We are not in
a condition there, if we felt like it, to
abate an iota of seal for free coinage.
North Carolina Democrats were in the
last election a minority of the others
of the State. A party that is so situated
if it is wise seeks to strenghten, not
weaken, itself. To adopt a gold stand
ard on an ambignous platform and
nominate a candidate for President
who stands on such platform is to in
vite the loss of votes in North Carolina
when we have none to lose. We shall
have hard work but we think with a
prospect for free silver we shall win the
fight. This conference is to make a
plan by which the party throughout
the country can be saved next year.
I do not know what that plan will be.
I come as an observer of events, to see,
to listen and to learn."
Representative Lockhart was equally
emphatic in declaring that there had
been no substantial gains to the oppo
nents of silver. In this Mr. Josephus
Daniels fully concurred. In response
to a question he said: "Unquestionably
silver has not lost ground in North Car
olina. The people by a very large ma
jority are for the free coinageof silver."
Mr. Daniels and some others with whom
I have talked agree that the two fac
tions should be conciliated on certain
matters. Thus, in a strong silver State,
where there is a very respectable oppo
sition, it might be well not to confine
the nominations, committee appoint
ments, etc.. entirely to one faction, al
though public sentiment must be fully
recognized in essential particulars.
' The Western men are a little more
Extreme than the Southerners. Mr.
Hinrichsen, of Illinois, says that while
Mr. Harrison is personally popular and
the people would 1 ke to support him
for President, they will not do so unless
he comes out for silver. Still they
think he would sign a silver free coin
age measure.
Virginia has the largest delegation,
then Missouri and Illinois.
Ex-Senator Jarvis is on the sub-committee
which is preparing to-night the
declaration of principles for the con
ference, to be submitted in the morn
ing. Senator Jones tells me that
everything is getting along well, and
that the meeting is in every respect up
to expectations. The silver men gen
erally seem to be pleased to-night.
James F. Johnston, of Alabama, a
member of the programme and resolu
tions committee, is a brother of Gen.
R. D. Johnston. Col. J. F. Trenholm
was the only representative of South
Carolina. Capt. Arthur Barnes was door
keeper of the conference. A number
of North Carolinians resident here were

during the day, a few of them unsym

in the conference.

Pop Fusion.
Correspondence of the Observer.
Washington, Aug. 13. The prepon
derance of opinion among ' visiting
Democrats from North Carolina has
been that the Republicans and Popu
lists would fuse again next year. But
a few Democrats think that fusion is at
least doubtful. And these gentlemen
say that the Republicans are not as
much enamored of fusion as they -were,
and not by any means as much as the
Populists. In western North Carolina,
it is said, the Republican leaders who
have been relied ,upon in the past are
either lukewarm toward "co-operation"
or are square-out in favor of a Republi
can ticket without a Populist on it.
This news does not agree with some
published information from Raleigh,
but I give it for just what it is worth.

TUB AFFAIR OF MOSDAT JiIGHT.
Mr. Asbory Explains That He Denounced
Mr. MeJflaen. and Why So Violence
Dos Hot Weapons Displayed.
To the Editor of tbe Observer:
The article which appeared in Mon
day's News makes a large matter out of
what is a very trivial affair, and m jus
tice to the "mob" I wish to submit to
the public the following statement:
On Sunday -.Mr. Will Anthony and
myself attended the camp meeting at
Antioch. On our return at 10:30 o'clock
Sunday night, we stopped a few mo
ments in. front of Blair Bros, drug
store. While there Mr. Frank McNinch
passed us. We noticed when he neared
the court house he began running, and
turned up Church street at a very rapid
gait. Thinking nothing of his actions
at the time we proceeded to take the
team to the stable, when lo and behold
we were halted at the city hall by three
policemen, who informed us that we
were wanted for taking part in "that
crap game. However, after an explana
tion on our part, we were allowed to
proceed. On Monday morning I was
reliably informed that Mr. Mors inch
bad ordered us arrested, whereupon I
remarked that he would have me to
whip or give a satisfactory explanation
as to why he had done so. Not having the
pleasure of seeing the gentleman until
Monday night, and being naturally
provoked when we met, I denounced
him, and no doubt blows would have
passed but for the fact that he denied
everything, and swore he knew nothing
of the charge. In regard to Mr. Gari
baldi taking part in the affair, he ap
peared upon the scene later and was
talking to Mr. McNinch on an entirely
different subject, when all of a sudden
he (Mr. AlcNincb) ran. I, and I alone,
having another question to ask him.
and at the same time being somewhat
curious to know where his wonderful
sprinting powers were carrying him,
started oit to see where he had gone.
Arriving at Poplar street, I looked both
ways, but saw nothing of him. A few
minutes later Messrs. Anthony and Os
borne came along and requested me to
go with them. This I did. No one
went to his home; no violence was dis
played, and the report that weapons
were brought into play is without
foundation.
In conclusion, he is at full liberty to
hire himself as a spy or to select any
other vocation he may choose, but he
can easily find a safer and far more
lucrative business than that of report
ing myself and others to the police be
fore first knowing whereof he speaks.

iJLACK AGAIN THE NOMINEE.
He and Watson Will Make the IRace Again
The Sixteen to Oners Had the Conven
tion. ArorsTA, Ga., Aug. 14. A special
from Crawfordsville, Ga., says: The
convention of Democrats of the tenth
congressional district of Georgia, which
met here to-day to nominate a candi
date to succeed the Hon. J. C. C. Black,
who was elected in the last election and
who resigned on account of alleged
frauds, chose Mr. Black to again repre
sent them against his former opponent,
Hon. Thomas E. Watson, Populist. The
convention was enthusiastic and most
harmonious in all of its workings and
adopted the following resolutions, the
free silver men having entire control of
the meeting:
"We re-affirm word for word theWar
renton platform, which is as follows:
'That we, the Domocrats of the tenth
congressional district, in convention as
sembled, hereby renew oar allegiance
to the Democratic principles enun
ciated in the Georgia platform of 1SU2.
We favor the immediate repeal of the
prohibitory 10 per cent, tax on State
banks; we favor an income tax that
will cause the rich to bear their just
proportions of the burden of the gov
ernment; we favor a tariff for revenue
only, so adjusted as to relieve the ne
cessities of life rrom taxation and place
the tax upon luxuries as far as possible:
we favor the free coinage of silvei at
the ratio of 1G to 1, and demand that
such law be enacted without waiting
upon the slow process of international
agreement."

The canning of okra is quite a large
business it Gibson Station, in Rich
mond county. This cannery will make
an exhibit at the State Fair.
The erape-growers at Southern Pines
and here have discovered that Chicago
is a better market than the Eastern
cities; that Delaware grapes bring 75
cents a crate more; that the schedule is
quick and returns are prompt. So -they
are shipping there. Two car-loads left
Sunday morning and two more to-day.
The growers are much elated at the
prospect. Peaches are so abundant in
the East and in such demand that thev
have cut down the prices of even the
finest grapes.

WINSTON PERFECTLY iJUIET.
The Grand Jury at Work on the Cases of
the Rioters The Iteitt Negroes De
nounce the Outbreak The Cunningham
Case Slill On.
Special to the Observer.
Wixston, Aug. 14. There was" no
disturbance or excitement whatever
here last night, and Mayor Gray and
the officers feel confident there will be
no more of ounday night's trouble.
The report has been current all day
that three negroes who were in the riot
were secretly buried near Beio's pond
last night. I have endeavored to find
out how the report originated, but its
author was not found. Several colored
people are of the opinion that some of
the rioters were injured.
The Gatling gun will remain here un
til to-morrow, and longer if it is deemed
advisable.
The grand jury is still in session, and
the indications are that it will not ad
journ before Friday or Saturday. In
vestigations regarding the riot are be
ing made by that body, and it is safe to
say that several persons will receive
severe punishment for Sunday night's
trouble.
Mr. G. W. Hinshaw says that during
the riot a negro pulled a gun on him
and talked very insultingly. ' Mr. Hin
shaw was advising the mob to disperse.
The leading colored citizens denounce
the action of those who took part in the
difficulty and say they want every one
who participated severely -punished.
A colored divine says that he expects
to report every man he can find out Who
was a member of the mob.
The Cunningham murder trial will
probably be concluded to-morrow. The
evidence of the witnesses for the State
and defense is rather conSicting. The
prisoner was put on the stand to-day in
his own behalf and told a pretty
straight story.
A traveling man who was in Winston

one of the directors of the North Caroli
na Railroad, and prints a column edito
rial on impressions received in the in
terview. The directors meet next FrH
day at Burlington, and after givitfg
some or the reasons why the re-lease
should be made to tbe Southern at once.
he concludes: "There is, however, but
little doubt that the road will be re
leased or arranged for at the meeting of
the directors next Friday. Tbe stan
dard gathered that the annual rental
will be $280,000 and the lease to run 50
or less years instead of 99. It learns also
that the current report that a-gentleman
had offered a guarantee of annual rental
of $300,000 has no existence in fact. Our
people have not expressed themselves
and feel but little interest in the mat
ter, believing the directors, being rep
resentative and good business men,
will do the best thing.
Two men who were here yesterday to
attend the speaking lie now cold and
stiff in death. They were apparently
well when here. Mr. Robert H. Morri
son, an old and respected citizen of this
section and father of our townsman,
Mr. D. B. Morrison, was found dead
this morning a few hundred yards from
the home of his son-in-law, Mr. J. P.
Morrison, near Pioneer Mills. He had
accompanied Mr. S. S. McWhirter to
town and was not expected to return
yesterday, and when leaving Mr. Mc-
Wbirter, remarked that the distance
was not great and proceeded to walk
home. This was the last seen of him
alive. He was a sincere Christian and
was about 78 years of age.
Mr. Joe lost, a young man about 21
years of age, came to lown yesterday
from jut over the t-abarrrs line in
Rowan county, bringing with him t,
load of wood. On his way home he had
an attack of cramp colic, from which
he died this morning. He was unmar
ried and industrious.
At their meeting.last night the town
commissioners passed an ordinance pro
hibiting bicycle riding on any of the
sidewalks of our town, to go into effect

On the high hill at the beautiful home
of Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Brown, is a scene

young wmen of this city. More than
a hundred guests are in attendance, a
number coming from Salisbury, Char
lotte, Lexington, China Grove and else
where. The Populists did not rally last night,
as was announced by them in the after
noon. They could get no one to orate, as,
I suppose, all the silver bulls(ion) were
exhausted. The Observer more than
doubly estimated the crowd of yester
day. BUILKB FOR A SILVER PART'S.

Major W. A. Guthrie joined Senator
Butler and Congressman Stroud on the
mid-day train here and went to Raleigh
to-iav. In a short talk with Butler he
expressed gratification that a"gold bug"
paper like the Observer had not tried
to belittle his crowd yesterday at Con
cord. He said that no man as honest
n his opinions who would put party
above political convictions. He is evi
dently hoping to succeed in forming
a silver party and wishes to
inveigle all advocates of silver into the
notion that they are inconsistent if they
do not follow wherever the silver cranks
lead. He forgets that he drove all of
his followers in the fifth district into
voting for Tom Settle and against Gus
Graham last fall when the latter was an
outspoken advocate of the free coinage
of silver at 10 to 1 and Settle could only
be driven to the point of saying he
favored the coinage of American silver.

week two ladies were going home irom
church by themselves and when they
reached the Bquare on which they lived
they separated, one going to her borne
on the north end or the square, wnue
the other went to hers on tbe south
end. They had left each other but a
very short time when one called to the
other to come there quick and on ner ar
rival she found a man standing In the
middle of the path, obstructing
the way. Tbe two being together.
they passed by unheeded and
went to the home of the lady
ho lives on the south end of the
square. Having piloted-her companion
safely home, the lady who lives on the
north end, started borne alone and on
her way observed the miscreant follow
ing close behind her. She went in a
gate close by so that the scoundrel
could pass by before she would proceed
any further, but instead he went up to
the gate and demanded - of her to stop.
She raised her umbrella and told him
to leave, whereupon, he ran off and she
got home without being harmed. On
arriving home she dispatched a man in
search of the wretch. A thorough in
vestigation was made, resulting in the
arrest of a drunken man. The ladies
being unwitting to proceed against him
he was locked op until next morning,
when he was released and sent home.

Capt. James M. Wall, general store
keeper and gauger for this district, re
ceived notice from Collector Rogers
this morning that his services in this

reason stated is that Capt. Wall s resi

the district. It is rather strange that
this fact has not come to the notice of
those having the appointing power be
fore this. Mr. v all has faithfully dis
charged his duties for nearly two years.
without a single complaint, it seems
that there is an unwritten law that tbe
revenue officers shall come from a cer

A Mew Compress for Making Cylindrical
Bales Company Organised.
Baltimore, Aug.- 14. The Manufac
turers' Record of this week publishes
particulars regarding a new compress
for making cylindrical bales, which is
being built in Baltimore, to be put in
operation first in Arkansas. The com
pany owning the patent has been organ
ized with the chief office in Liverpool,
and with Mr. Wm Johnston, owner of
the Johnston line of steamers, one of
the leading steamship owners of Great
Britain, as president. A number of
prominent railroad officers are interest
ed in the company, including one of the
vice presidents of the Baltimore & Ohio
and Senator Camden, of West Virginia.
This combination of steamship and rail
road influence in a compress to turn out
cylindrical bales instead of square bales
as by compresses now in use, is regard
ed as a very strong factor in changing
the compressing systems. Two other
companies have also lately been organ
ized to introduce cylindrical com
presses. Georgia Prisoners, Under Sentence of

HE DIED A HERO'S DEATH.
Thomas Hovenden, the Artist, Loses His
- Life In Vain Kffbrt to Save That fa .
Little Child,
MoBRtsTOWK, Pa., Aug. 14 Thomas "
Hovenden, the famous artist, was in
stantly killed by a . railroad train near
here this evening. Mr. Hovenden met
with a hero's death, tor it was in at
tempting taaare the life of a little girl
that he lost his own.. - The sacrifice of
Mr. Hovenden's life was useless, be
cause the child that he attempted to
save also met ,her death beneath the -.
wheels of tbe . engine that ground out
tbe life of the artist. ' '
The accident occurred at a grade :
crossing on what is known as the Tren
ton cut-off of the Pennsylvania Rail
road. The Chestnut Hill trolley ' oom-
..... nn n ..Va nf
the railroad company out qo. not cross .
them. Passengers of the trolley com-
pany are compelled to leave the car at
the railroad tracks and cross the latter
on foot to take a trolley car on the , op-
posite side. Mr. Hovenden Has a sum- .
mer residence In Plymouth township,
th's county, and he was returning home
there this evening on a trolley car.
When the car reached Its stopping point
on the far side of the railroad track the
passengers alighted as usual" and pre
pared to cross to the trolley car on the
other side. Besides Mr. Hovenden,
among the passengers on the car were
Mrs. Clara Pelfer and her ten-year-
old daughter Bessie. A fast, freight
train was approaching tne crossing as .
the Dassengers from the trolley car
alighted. The little girl did not notice
tne on-coming iraiu, nuu iuo, iiu tunu
of ber mother to cross the tracks. The
train bore rapidly down and the en- -
gineer blew his whistle when he saw '
tbe little figure standing oetween tne
rails. ' The child seemed to become con
fused and awaited her coming death
without attempting to avoid it. Mr.
Hovenden rushed forward and snatched
the child up in his arms. Before he
could make the leap that would have . -
saved them both, the pilot of the engine
struck Mr. Hovenden and hurled him .
across the track with terrible force. '
The engineer stopped his train and "he
and the fireman ran to where Mr. Hov- , -;
enden and the little girl were lying side
by side. The man was dead and the
nhir Hi Ad as aha was raised from the
ground. .
Thomas Hovenden was one oi tne
leading artists that America has pro
duced. He was still in the compara
tive prime of his intellectual vigor and
artistic skill, being but 59 years of age.
His best known painting, "Breaking .
Home Ties," has probably been en-,
graved more than the work of any
other American artist, and was a fa- -miliar
object on the walls of thousands .
of homes in the United States. The
painting was one of the most notable of
the American group at the World's v
Fair. Mr. Hovenden leaves a wife but
no children.
