A Station so h finaast and a Established en the Postal Car to be Baa by It, - ;- ,-V-.--i Washington, Sept. 9." Acting ; Post master General Jones has taken steps to establish a sub-station of the postoffice at Atlanta, Oa.,' on' the exposition grounds to facilitate the mail of the visitors to the exposition. It was first contemplated to have a railway postal car for this purpose, but upon consideration it was deemed inad visable. Now a full station will be lo cated on the grounds, and a postal ear will be run along side of it to show its workings. A Post office Department in spector has been detailed to select a suitable site for the station and car. To All Interested in Charlotte. The Cotton States and International Exposition will long be remembered by all whoseeVit as the greatest exposition the South has ever seen. Those who do not see it will depend upon such records as may be left of its artistio beauty and substantial evidences of the progress that the South and its people have made during the past century. Such a work is now being compiled by the Southern States Publishing Company. A book showing the past progress of the South, recording the exposition itself with beautiful half-tone engravings of its buildings and photographs of its leading promoters and. of the leading people of the Southern States, with biographical sketches of 'them; also ac counts of tbe leading institutions of the South, its manufactures, etc., and will be of interest to all. "The Cotton States and International Exposition and South Illustrated," matter for which is now being compiled by the Southern States Publishing Co., will be the pub lication descriptive of the South, its exposition, people and resources, with the finest character of engravings, printed upon the finest enameled paper, and bound injhandsome-morocco-covers, with gilt edges. The work itself will be a substantial illustration of the progress of the South. The work upon it being all done in the South, it deserves to be favorably considered by the people of tae South. "The Cotton States and International Exposition and South. Illustrated 'Vwill be the representative book of the South. It is not only of the South, but for the South, and by the South. The leading people of the South are in it. Mr. Robert Macquoid and his brother; rep resentatives of the above-company, are now in Charlotte end will wait upon lis leading citizens and explain the nature of the work. Charlotte should come well to the front and should be as carefully repre sented as any other Southern city in the above work. We trust that the op portunity may be fully realized.

J Keir Hardlo Addresses the Methodist Mlae lators Crafarsses, and Stirs Up a Tumult. Chicago, tils.;" Sept. 9. Keir Hardie, English socialist and member of Par liament, had an exciting time at the session of the .Methodist ministers to day, ; Mr. Hardie had: been - invited by the Chicago Aietnoa ist -1 n-piscopai preachers to speak before them this morning. After a mildly spoken de nunciation of the Church and clergy, Mr. Hardie said: "The early Christians were criticised for their religion, and the press of that day, if there was such an Institution, which I hope there -was not, held them up to ridicule, but the truths they taught ; was extinguished. They were crucified and burned at the stake and felt it an honor to die In the cause which they endorsed. . And is it not possible the men hanged in Chicago aew years ago Xthe Anarchists) may be pioneers of: a new gospel?" - - , "X'nose leiiowa ought to havesbeen hanged" interrupted Rev. D. J. Holmes at this point. Cries of "no." "no " and deafen! ng applause drowned the voice of the speaker, who, when he could not be heard above the tumult, retorted: "So did the Jews say no.'" The rest of the speaker's remarks were drowned in tne roar of disapproval which had not yet subsided. "I want to speak1 according to my convictions," rejoined Mr Hardie, as he seated himself and waited for the tumult his remarks had occasioned to lessen. Dr. Swift, the presiding officer, implored the gathering to refrain from interruptions, and one of tbe clergymen present demanded that if expressions of disapprobation were not allowable ap plause be also barred. To this propo sition Dr. i Swift agreed, and although those unfavorably impressed with the speaker's sentiments adhered to their part of the agreement, the applauders had to be reminded more than once be fore Mr. Hardie concluded his address to keep quiet. HARDLY A HOPE FOB TBE MINERS. Twenty-Nine Men and Boys In the Burn ing Calumet Mines, and t Rescuing Far- ties Are Unsuccessful. Caxumbt, Mich., Sept. 9. Ten min ers went down the southmost shaft of the Osceola mine this morning. The men were especially selected among the fearless and experienced workmen, habituated to breathing smoke and foul air. The party desoended in the skip, or iron car used in bringing up rock from the mine to the 24th level and managed to press north on that level to within 25 feet of the shaft next south of the burning one. At this point two of the party were overcome by the gas and to save adding fresh victims to the already lone list the relief expedition turned back. In number 1 shaft, at the other end of the mine, a similar at tempt was made by a carefully organ ized party similar to the first, but at a depth of only 280 feet down the shaft smoke was met in such volume that it was fool-hardy to descend further and the miners quickly came to the surface. The experience of the rescuing par ties in numbers 1 and 5,t where the smoke would naturally be met with in the least quantities, renders it certain that the entire mine is now filled with it and cuts off the last hope that the missing men may have been able to preserve their lives. Rescuing parties will be sent down as frequently as pos sible to test the condition. - It will probably be several days before the mine will be clear of smoke, even if the fire has gone out, which is quite doubt ful. It is now positively known that 29 men and boys were caught in the mine. Nineteen of the men were mar ried. Twenty Women Widows, Houghton, Mich., Sept. 9. Twenty women are widows and fifty children fatherless by the disaster in the Osceola mine. Most pitiful scenes are being hourly witnessed in the vicinity of the shafts that have not yet been sealed be reaved women and children clinging to the spot in the desperate hope that some loved form may yet emerge from the opening. Dr. Fraker. the Insurance Swindler, Iden- 1 titled By Hie Sister. Richmond Mo., Sept. 9. All doubts its to the! identification of Dr. Fraker, the insurance swindler, were set at jest to-day when his sister, Mrs. N. J. Mo Cruder, of . Atlanta, Mo., visited the jail and Immediately recognized him. This meeting was 'an affeoting one. Later when seen at her hotel Mrs. Mo Gruder said the prisoner was Dr. Fra ker. She has in her possession $1,200 of the insurance money, but depllned to say what disposition she would make of it. -. K , , Index to This Morning's Advertisements.

Columbia, S. C, Sept. 9. To-morrow morning the State constitutional con vention, the eighth ever held in the State, will begin its sessions here, and the sessions promise to be lively. There will be more prominent men in the body than in any body that has as sembled in the State in years. Senators Tillman and Irby, Governor Evans, Congressman Talbert, ex-Congressman George D. Tillman, ex-Governor J. C. Sheppard and scores of other men of the same public notoriety are members of the convention. They are all here to?night and the city is overrun with the 150 delegates and the scores of sm all office seekers. It was decided to-night that Governor Eyans, according to precedent should be president of the convention, Con- gressman Talbert ana speaker J ones, the opposing candidates, withdrawing from the race. No attempt, the assurance is given, will be made to engraft the dispensary law into the new constitution. The principal thing the convention has before it is the regulation of the suffrage, so as to disfranchise as many negroes its possible, "without disfran chising a single white man, except for crime, and maintain white supremacy." This is the doctrine of the dominant element in the 8 tale, and it is proposed by them to adopt the Mississippi plan with modifications, leaving everything to the judgment of the supervisor of registration and manaeers of election. Of the 160 delegates there are only 40 all told who are out-and-out opponents of the party in power. What will be done by the convention is purely a mat ter of conjecture. 4 Plenty of female suffragists, headed by Mrs. Viola JNebiett, the vice presi dent of the State Equal Rights Asso ciation will be - here camping in the capital lobbies, pushing their cause. Ex-Congressman Tillman, if he cannot get a property qualification for male suffrage, is going : to champion a $200 property qualification for males and fe males alike of both races. . MB. J B.

Tao Day W1U Be Fair. With IJgfat Wlsds, Which to Valkyrie Weather-A SO-Mile Coarso, and Every Pols t to Be Coaaldorod Nkw.Yohk, Sept. 9 r Lord Dunraven will -make his second trial for the America's cup to-morrow. . His fieet footed" Valkyrie will meet America's champion Defender in a 30-mile race over a triangular course. . It- will be the second in the series of international races, and it will take three winnings to decide whether the blue ribbon of the sea remains here or goes to England. Unlike Saturday's contest which show ed the qualities of the yachts on two points of sailing only, the race to-morrow will require them to show their ability on almost every point. - If possi ble onejeg of the course will be to wind ward, so that the yachts : may have beating to windward, running free and reaching with the wind on the quarter. The weather predictions seem to favor the British, boat whose best work so far as has- been observed here is in light winds and a smooth sea. -..vjJocal Forecast Officer Dunn says: "The weather to-morrow will be gener ally fair. About the only change, if there is any, will be in the tern perature, which may be a trifle cooler. The wind will vary from light to fresh breezes. That is to say, it may blow from six to eight miles on hour and from the southeast. It is very probable that the day will be hazy. There are no-storms in sight and nothing to indi cate any disturbance." In Saturday's race, while the five knot breeze prevailed for three-quarters of an hour after the start, the Val kyrie made gains on the Defender. The rough sea threw her back more than it did Defender, but the British boat plainly had the better of It. When the wind freshened a little she eeased to gain, and when it grew to be a nine to ten-knot breeze she simply could not keep the paoe set by the American boat. Should the sea be smooth and the wind six to eight miles an hour, as the weather prophet says, there may be less hilarity in the crowd of sieht-seers than Saturday, Judging from what has been seen of the two boats when they have been near each other, the Defender has no walk over, and unless there are good, stiff breezes to-morrow and Thursday, the American boat will not win three straight races this year. There was a good sailing breeze to-day and the wind to-morrow may prove much stronger than Forecaster Dunn has mapped out. The Britons are by no means discour aged, even though Americans,in the ex cess of their patriotism, are shouting that tne cup is sale. The fleet of excursion steamers an nounced for to-m arrow is nearly as great as for the first race, but the unprece dented attendance of Satnrday is hard ly to be expected. Extra efforts will be made to keep the steam boats at a dis tance from tbe racers and after the. press comments on the subject, tbe yachts will probably not experience so much interference The Defender tried a new forestay sail and jib, which fitted her. miser ably. The' Valkyrie sailed beautifully. The yachts were near together at times but there was no impromptu contest. Uettlng on to-morrow s race was at a low ebb to-day. American money was offered at 2 to I, but Britishers were shy. Defender and Valkyrie went out for a sail-stretcmcg spin this afternoon, cruising about in the Narrows and lower bay for three hours. v alkyrie was the. first to get under way at about 2 o clock. Defender fol lowed half an .hour later. There was no brush between them, though at one time, standing on even tacks down the Narrows and -past the quarantine isl ands, it looked as though there might be a little impromptu contest. A thick haze, which had hung over the bay in the morning, cleared away somewhat during the afternoon, and alight south erly Dreeze increased to a lo-miie cup, under which tbe yachts bowled alongat good gait, closely watched by many on-lookers from the Long Island and Staten Island shores. Their white spreads of canvas stood out in the sun light against tbe varied bine sky and water and formed a picture of rare beauty. sandy Hook, w. J., Sept. 9.

Raleigh, Sept. 9. Senator Marion Butler writes to a friend here, well known Populist, as follows: "Have our friends rest easy with reference to any rumored co-operation with any party. Nothing will be done in any direction without a full fconsultatiou with our friends. .Allthlngs being equal, I believe that we should stand by those who stood by us in the last campaign. In preference to those who iought us. 4 am surprised to see our friends get so easily excited over rumors published in Democratic papers. If our people had to correct all such rumors by publishing cards they would not have time to do anything else." t'.' - - k- - One of the most prominent - Demo crats In the State was asked to-day his opinion of the silver convention or con ference called to be held September 25. He said: 'I want it understood that I am a devoted fried of silver, but that I think the Democrats ought to work out this silver business in their own ranks. This non-partisian convention, as cell ed, affords a golden opportunity for the Populists to make cap.tal and 1 shall be greatly surprised if" they do not turn it to account, vvny, ii i were a I'opuust leader I would have my people here, if had to charter excursion trains to bring them. Tou will see a few Demo crats and many Populists at the con vention and the Jfopulistsi will dominate it. I find no Democrats of prominence outside of Raleigh who favor it, - I am greatly astonish ed that the Democratic - press has been quiet about the convention. Some papers take ground against it, but not actively. The Populists who are at the convention will outnumber the Democrats, as you will discover, and they will claim with much plausibility that they are tbe true iriends oi silver. It will in my candid opinion be a popu list convention so far as majority goes. have crood ground for saying further that many, if not most,of the Populists favor the putting forward by this con vention the name of a non-partisan, ardent silver man as the candidate who ought to be nominated for Governor. The Populist leaders are now greatly embarrassed about their political affilia tion next year. I am told-that Senator Butler said the other day that it would not be his fault rf the Populists and Democrats did not get together. I know he said that the man who pre vents the silver men in North Carolina from getting together is politically damned forever. If the Populists do not avail themselves of the great oopor tunity to make friends with the Demo crats they will not have the sagacity for which I gave them credit.
