It has this year suddenly assumed the importance of a leading congress. The conference began at Bristol on Monday and terminated Thursday. The ques tion before thA Annferonm am tint g . - w ..v.w a.Vw I new, but the meeting derived unwonted Interest from (Jardioal Vaughan s ad dress on Christian re-union. The Arch bishop of Can.r' ry's recent missive on this subject, wnich was a reply to the Pope's letter to the English people, required a reply and Cardinal v'aughan gave it in such clear terms as will end discussion within the Anglican Church on the bases of an agree ment with the Roman Catholic Church. The kernel of the question of the re union of Cbristiandom, said Cardinal Vaughan, consisted in the admission of the Roman claim that the Pope had re ceived by divine right, authority to teach and govern the whole Church. The essence of the Anglican position was a negation of the Roman claim. Until this claim was admitted, no basis of re-union was possible. The Cardinal further declared that he did not expect to witness the submission of the En glish people, as a body, to claims that were repudiated at the time of the Reformation. He looked to the slower process or individual conversion. These declarations have been ill re cieved by the ritualists of England, and are reported to be also causing the Pope disappointment as a check to his plans for a re-union of the Churches. The report was accepted as true among the members of the congress that at the next consistory at Rome another Cardinal will be created for England. The Congress concluded on Thursday with a pilgrimage to Glaston bury Abbey, the oldest shrine in ting land. Thousands of pilgrims, includ ing 100 robed clergy, traveled by train from Bristol to Glastonbury. It was not very long ago that popular senti- iuvuv nuuiu uub nave aiiuncu QiiLU a , pilgrimage. On Thursday a large crowd -watched with the greatest sympathetic interest the long, banner-carrying pro cession composed of Catholic guilds, Jesuits, Dominicans, Franciscans, Bene dictines and Carmelites, alternately singing and reciting prayers. The scene was an impressive and picturesque one, and marked; an immense change in the position of the Roman Catholic Church in England. Time does not soften the keenness of British chagrin over the outcome of the America's cup contest. The Field, in fine frenzy, utterly abandons decency. This "gentlemen's journal" raves like a fish wife over the ignominious showing of the "British representative yacht," though its ravings are, of course, direct ed against everything connected with the race that was not British. Follow ing are some of the choice expressions of this paper which purports to repre sent the sporting spirit of Great Britain: "Excursion steamers laden with frantic Irish-Americans who do not know a yacht from an by9ter-boat" and "the New York press, representing the rabble of excursion steamers." This paper, together with others, looks upon the in terference of the excursion steamers as affecting only the British boat. That the excursion fleet should in anyway interfere with the American boat does not seem to strike them, although as a matter of fact impartial persons here reading the cable accounts of the con tests that one boat suffered as much as the other from this cause. Id common with other English papers, the Field declares that "the conditions governing the cup contests need remod elling, notably that rule requiring that the challenger must sail the ocean on her own bottom, while the Defender of the cup can be any lightly rigged rattle-trap which will hold together for four or five matches." Insidious com ments were made in 1893 on the con struction of the Vigilant, and it was then declared that she could not cross the ocean, but after she did cross, and in much less time than did the Valky rie II, the English forgot their former comments, but had very little to say in tespect to her very fine performance. The balanced utterance of the Spec tator is valuable as reflecting ed ucated opinion outside of sportiog circles. This paper says: "Nobody need be surprised at the Defender's victory. 'America has twice startled the world by & sudden and successful advance in the designing of ships. The appear ance of the America in the Solent in 1831 changed the principles of yacht building, and Ericsson's production of the monitor in 1862 caused every Brit 'ish dock-yard within a year to work night and day to reconstruct the navy. The brain force producing such achieve ments can be scarcely over-rated in every effort to capture the cup, and competing vessels embodied the Eng lish and American designefs' skill at the date of trial. In the latter, as in the earlier races, the New Yorkers more than held their own, showing that they possess inventersof thehighest calibre." THE MORA CLAIMS PAID.

There are now 150 freshmen at the University president Winston tells me; this being the largest number on record. The battalion of cadets at the Agricul tural and Mecnanicai tjouege this term will be of three companies and will perhaps not be quite so large as last term. The attendance at the college will approximate that of last term. It was at first thought there would be a considerable increase. The brick work on the new building, which is a mess ball, domltory, etc, is nearly done. Two convicts from Brunswick county arrived at the penitentiary to-day. The Seaboard Air line is now - haul ing all sorts of foreigners to the Atlanta exposition. Yesterday Turks, Arabs and Chinese passed here, the latter in a special train. A Democrat here yesterday said to a Republican: "I expect we will vote to gether in the next campaign, for sil ver." The Republican said nothing in reply, but to the next person whom he met said: "Not much. 1 will keep right in line with my party." "Watch Senator Butler dominate the silver convention," said a promi nent Democrat to-day, "He will boss things, or I am greatly mistaken," he added. United States Marshal Carroll re turned this morning from Warrenton, where he has been on business con nected with the burning of the post office at Warren Plains. The two men who are believed to have committed the crime are in jail, Sam Christmas, colored, at Warrenton, and Joseph W. Johnson, white, at Norfolk. Christmas had a preliminary hearing yesterday before a United States commissioner. The case against both men is said to be strong. President Winston says a track made of rubber cloth is now being laid in Memorial Hall, for use by runners and bicyclists. The big hall makes a splen did gymnasium. The students also roller-skate there. The big windows are opened and it is almost like being out-doors. Two Mormon elders are yet here. They are quiet but persistent and are tolerate. A few years ago life was made very unpleasant for these mis sionaries in several counties in the State. It is a pleasure to know that editor J. W. Bailey, of the Biblical Recorder, whose sickness has been reported, is much better. There are now 111 veterans on the roll at the Soldiers' Home, Superintendent Stronach tells me. Five have quite re cently been admitted. All the counties save 20 are now represented. The next term of the Federal Court will be a notably heavy one, as 90 cases are sent over from the last term. Mar shal Carroll is busy among the law breakers. President Julian S. Carr, of the State Fair, says his speedy filly "Eufaula" will trot an exhibition half-mile on Wednes day of the State Fair. The silver advocates are up in arms by reason of the news from New York that the gold syndicate is "working" the government and there is a fresh outburst of swearing at "old man Cleve land." In truth, the silver men are angrier than ever. They can't under stand why silver as well as gold is not paid out. Yesterday's tobacco breaks here ag gregated 30,000 pounds. Much was quite bright. The highest price was $75 per 100 pounds. At Louisburg there was a great break of 150,000 pounds. - It is now decided that there are to be bicycle races at the State Fair. This is a new departure here and a good one. The premiums paid to fire insurance companies in this State during the year ending June 30th, was $695,377. There will be ordiAation services at the church of the Good Shepherd to morrow by Bishop Cheshire. A letter to the Populists here from Sossamon, of Mecklenburg, says not a single Populist from that county wil attend the silver convention September 25th. This is considered a remarkable statement. A Republican to-night said frankly that the Republicans were go ing to attend the silver convention sim ply to show the Populists that they were as good friends of silver as the Democrats, and that they know there is struggle to control the Populist influ ence. Bishop Cheshire ordains as deacon here to-morrow, Rev. J. H. Griffith, of Richmond, Va., a graduate of Alexan dria Seminary, whose diaconate will te in this diocese. THE REGATTA COMMITTEE'S SAY.

A "Traveler In tbo Tar East Talks About - the Bis Beast. . .-, . Henry Norman in .Philadelphia Times. Nothing bnt a ride on an earthquake could be compared to the sensation of being run away with by an elephant. Nothing steps his. wild rush, and he does not swerve for an obstacle, bnt he goes straight at it. A few shakes fling off everything on his back and the rider has but a second or two in which to make up his mind which overhanging branch he will cling to, or if he will risk throwing himself off. A broken neck would be the certain consequence of remaining. As for stopping him, somebody has well said that you might just as well try to stop a runaway loco motive by pulling with your walking stick on the funnel as to seek to check an elephant at such a moment with the road. By stroking an elephant's lip in a cer tain manner you can make it purr like a huge grimalkin, till the earth shakes beneath your feet. When it is afraid or angry it squeaks like an unoiled hinge. But when it suddenly jumps aside like a flea, you imagine for a moment that the ultimate terrestrial cataclysm has gone off. The Malays never wholly trust their elephants, and were nervous at my fa miliarities with mine, a sweet-tempered old female, on which I rode hundreds of miles. During the midday halt 1 used to call her up, and she would come and stand with one foot on each side of my chest as I lay on my back and fed her with bananas. I was never angry with her but once when she tried to kill the cook. . On one occasion a little elephant of our party, running behind its mother, teased her beyond endurance, and she turned and gave him a snove tnat land ed him feet uppermost at the bottom of a deen brook. For two hours he screamed like a steam whistle, while we were all engaged in getting him out. Every night, when we reached camp, and the loads were taken off, each driver would hobble his beast by tying his front legs together with rattan, so that it could only hop with both to gether. Then a huge wooden bell was hung around its neck and it was turned loose to wander in the jungle. AH nightlong the faint dong, dong of these bells majle a mournful noise around the camp." At daybreak each driver track ed his elephant by the sound, often go ing many mites ior mm. The elephant is in some respects a stupid beast, and many of the tales of its sagacity are apocryphal, yet it some times does very strangely intelligent things. Once a tiny elephant got jamm ed in between the parts of a heavy tree trunk that had been cut in two to leave a passage on the road. Its screams brought back its mother from ahead. She inspected it carefully for a mo ment, then walked a dozen steps back wards and lowering her head charged straight at it, shooting it out as if it had been fired from a gun. Now, she must have seen that, al though the little one could not move either way, there was really room for it to get through. If there had not been, her charge would have mashed it as flat as a pancake. AN INCIDENT OF THE WAR. A Schooner Manned By Land-Lubbers Confederate Attack on the Federal Forts at Hatteras Col. Singletary Coart-Mar-tialed. Correspondence of the Observer. In the spring of 1862 Col. George B. Singletarv. with his regiment, the Twenty-seventh North Carolina, was stationed iust below Newbern. Hear ing that ihe Yankee forts at Hatteras had been partly washed away, he de termined to recapture and rebuild ihem. So, seizing the "Napoleon the Third," a fine three-masted schooner, and arming her with four brass twelve pound cannon, he ordered his regiment on board and sailed away. Most of his men were from the up-country and ex cept a few men in the Perquimans and Jones county companies not one of them knew anything whatever about a ship. He had also 'impressed a tug boat and two barges, which latter he had filled with picks and shovels. The storm had not subsided. Pamlico Sound was fearfully rough and the Na poleon the Third pitched so from un skillful management that the guns had to be lashed to the vessel and the men had to stay down in the hold to keep from going overboard. The sea sickness, prayers and curses were indescribable. We thought our time had come. The barges soon filled with water and sank and came near carrying the tug boat with them. We finally hove to opposite the fort and opened fire on it, our balls falling about half way, and the fort returned the fire with about twenty thirty-two-pound seige guns. But we kept pegging away at the fort until we saw the smoke and pretty soon the gunboats, fourteen of them, hove in sight and all heading for us. We concluded it was time to leave, and, crowding on all sail with a fair wind, we managed to keep ahead of the gunboats all the way across Pamlico Sound and well up into theNeuse river, though two of them came ndar enough to make their shot whistle around us. Old Comodore Lynch, who had laid around Newbern with his gunboats all winter, doing nothing, had Col. Single tary court-martialed for interfering with his prerogatives and the colonel was suspended for a month. He said he would not stand any such d d non sense resigned and went home, near Washington N. C, raised the Forty fourth North Carolina Regiment and was soon after killed in a skirmish at Hodge's Mill, near his old home. An Eye-Witness. HIT FROM AMBUSH WITH A KOCK.

Your type setter made me say in yesterday's Ob server that Mrs. Walker Reedy and sis ter, Miss Ella, had returned from a trip to south Carolina. It should have been Mr. Walker Reedy. Mr. Reedy is not a married man and he does not wish the impression to get abroad that he is such. Rev. M. T. Steele is holding a series of meetings about four miles east of Lincolnton at Asbury church. He ii being assisted by Rev. J. Hoyle, a young licentiate of the Methodist Church. On Wednesday night as they were going away from church in a buggy to spend the night with a mem ber, near Ironton, some unknown per son threw a rock at them, striking Mr. Hoyle on the back of the head, inflict ing an ugly and painful wound, which bled copiously. The gentlemen stopped and as they did so a burly negro came upon them with a club, but seeing two men instead of one he got out of the way as soon as possible. The matter is being worked up and it is hoped the guiUy one will be caught and severely punished. Miss May Davidson spent to-day in the Queen City.

BoadaNearTejcuciagalpa Meeting With the President and Other Men of State Arriving at Tegucigalpa Pleasing Im pression of the Plaeo. Written for the Observer. There is a great deal more certainty about the weather in Honduras than in North Carolina. At certain times of the year, no matter how lowering the clouds may be in the morning, you know it will not rain that day; at others, however fair the morning may be, you may depend upon rain at even ing. In my last letter, I poke of leav ing Pes pi re in the afternoon, expecting to reach Moramulca, the nest stopping place, before night. At the time of our trip, and in that part of Honduras, a rainfall near the close of the day could be confidently expected. But, if there is certainty in regard to the weather, there is quite as much uncertainty as to distances and as to how far your mule wilt carry you in a given time. In some way we had miscalculated; for, at nightfall, we were not at Moramulca. but ridincralong through a torrent of rain. Fortunately, it was not tot long. as we were near the luile village of ban Antonio de Flores We soon Came to a house with a shelter in front of it. Under this shelter we rode, and, having hitched our mules, stepped into the house. It had only one room. The ground was its floor. Two dirty cloth hammocks were stretched across the room. A table and two or three stools were about all the furniture visible There was no lack of occupants. These were, two men, a number of partly clad children the smaller ones being naked and several women, two of whom were busied about a kind of out-door kitchen at one end of the shelter. Dogs, hogs and chickens seemed to have the entree of the establishment. After the rain had ceased, we went a little further and took lodging for the night in a house no better than the one wa had left except that it did not have so many occupants, a man and his wife and one child being our only room mates for the night. The woman hur riedly prepared us a dinner of tortillas, frijoles, (beans) eggs and coffee. The tortilla is a kind or corn-bread, pre pared in the following way: The corn is first par-boiled, and then crushed upon a fiat stone with a stone roller. The product is a paste or dough, which is cooked in thin round cakes. These tortillas are very pliable you can bend them double without breaking them and rather tough. They constitute the staple of Honduras in the way of bread. The flour used in the country is all im ported, and little is used exceptin the principal towns. In a treatise on Hon durs, the subject of corn or wheat mills might be dismissed as briefly as Horre bow, in his Natural History of Iceland, dismisses the subject of snakes. There are no mills to be met with throughout the whole country. The service of our '.able, or rather box, consisting of one plate, a cup, knife and fork, for the use of three individuals, I had some reason to congratulate myself on my foresight in providing myself with spoon and knife and fork. A tavern chair would, indeed, have been for us that night, as Dr. Johnson says, "the throne of hu man felicity." We had them not, and so, having stretched our hammocks, and resolved on an early start for there was little to tempt one to linger we were soon asleep. At 4 next morn ing we took coffee and eggs, which con stitute the regular morning meal (cafe, as it is called) of the country, and, by sunrite, we were over the hills and far away from San Antonio de Flores. What a big name for the wretched little village ! And yet it may not be inapt: for our road from there to La Yenta led through a region abounding in beauti ful flowers and tropical plants. Before noon we reached La Yenta, an adobe village, situated at one end of an extensive valley. Having gotten break fast a meal much after the style of our dinner of the day before and resting for two or three hours, we set out for Sabana Grande, about sixteen miles dis tant. We now made our way up a gradual ascen. At a point about a mile and a half above La Yenta, we had a most splendid view. The broad valley lay beneath, and far to the south the great bay of Fonseca was p!ainh visible, Chinandega and Coseguina towering aloft on one side of it, Concha gua and San Miguel on the otner. Our surroundings now began to take some what of the aspect of the temperate zone. We passed through forests of live oak and pine. The growth of tropical plants and flowers became less luxuri ant. After riding for about two hours we came into a valley, which seemed to be more fertile than any part of the re gion through which we had passed. We saw many small fields fenced with brushes and growing cacti in which were cultivated corn, rice, bananas, to bacco and sugar cane. Along the road I noticed an abundance of pita, the great fibre-producing plant of Honduras. Some writers seemed to have classed this plant called by the natives pita as an aloe, others as a cactus. It is the agave Americana, or century plant, be longing to the Amaryllis family. The natives use it for various purposes making of it thatched roofs, rope, ham mocks, etc. We came in sight of Sa bana Grande some time before we reach ed it; for it is near the bottom of a val ley and the road leading into it is quite devious. I did not know that our ac commodations for the night would be much better than they were the night before. When, however, you consider that the night before I started on my trip I slept Only two hours, that I passed the following night doubled up in -a hammock, my slumbers, ever and anon, disturbed by the crying of a sick infant in the same room, and that I had spent a day and a half urging a somewhat stubborn, and now wearied, mule along a rough, mountainous road, you will believe me, when I say that no bare foot pilgrim ever beheld-the Holy City with greater joy than I felt when the tiled roofs and white adobe walls of the little-known and inglorious Sabana Grande loomed up before my gladdened vision. Sabana Grande is the largest town on the road from the coast to the capital. It contains the parochial church, on the front of which I noticed an inscrip tion stating that it was built by the Senoras Rosa in 1809, several school houses, a cabildo and a sort of public house. The latter, at which we put up for the night, can boast of several rooms with paved floors. I noticed a tidy looking girl moving about, and sur mised correctly, as the sequel proved that we might have something better for our dinner than we had for several meals. We sat down to a table served with plates, cups and saucers, spoons, knives and forks, and partook of a meal of soup, beef, tortillas, frijoles, flour bread, eggs and coffee. I do not know that I ever enjoyed a meal more, to such an extent was my appetite whetted by the fatiguing journey of the day. Sabana Grande is about 4,000 feet above the sea, and after the usual rainfall of the evening, we found the air becoming quite chilly. I slept very comfortably under a blanket. We got another early start, and short ly after sunrise, we had. crossed ; the Lepaterique mountains and were at the foot of the higher ranks of Cerro de Hule. It took ns some time to reach the summit of the mountain; for the road forms a zigzag up its side. . Near the top, we could see beneath ns four or five sections of the road over which we had passed. i Having made the ascent, we went across a considerable table land, on whose pastures a number of sleek cattle were grazing, We were now 5,500 feet above the level of the sear and, the sua not being high, the air waft; cool and Invigorating.. From this plateau we got our first view of Tegucigalpa, situated at the extremity of the broad valley below, and about twenty miles distant. It seemed to me to be less than half that distance. - The clear, rari fled air of the elevation to which We had come daring the past two days, no doubt, made it seem near er than jit was. Moreover, onr road was still to be somewhat devious. Near the other side of the mountain we rode through groves of live oak, whose limbs were covered with masses of I e . a orcnises ana gray nangiug moss, jxli about us was a profusion of cacti, the cereus Jgigan tens and cactus opuntia, or nrickly pear, with their oddly- branching stem rising high above the ground the meloc actus, resembling a green melon, with deep ribs, set all over with thistles, and the night-blooming cereus growing luxuriant over the larg9 rocks near the road. My growing admiration was intensified by a sight I saw dose to the road. A large cactus nd grown up by an oak tree and rami fied its branches. Stems and branches, moss and rrxhises, were mingled in wondrous profusion. At we went down the side of the mountain we undertook to make a near cut. so to speak, and found ourselves performing feats that would rival, if not excel, that of General Putnam. Some of the descents that our mules made are still marvels to me. Reach- log the foot of the mountain, we got our breakfast at a little hut. I noticed a string stretched across the room. From it were suspended what I supposed to be the skins of small animals. Pres ently I saw our host taking down some of them, and they turned out to be strips of dried beef, which was to con stitute part of our repast. Leaving the range of Hule, we made the rest of our journey over an excellent road, wide and smooth, a veritable boulevard. compared with the road we had beear traversing. About four miles from Tegucigalpa, we came upon quite a party of mounted gentlemen, among them the President and other officers of the Republic, who, it seemed, had come out to meet my fellow traveler, the deputy. From what I heard, I judged that the latter had been to Nicaragua on some mission of State. I was introduced to the President, who courteously detailed an officer and guard to escort me into the city. The officer was a very prominent general in the last revolution, which was ended by the siege and capture of the capital on the 23d of February, 1894. As we approached the city, he made himself very interesting by pointing out posi tions the besiegers had taken and ex plaining some of their movements. Passing through the long main street of Comayguela, a town across the river from the capital, we crossed the Rio Grande on an ancient bridge of stone and brick, and entered Tegucigalpa, a little after noon. It was Sunday, the 9th of September, and I had completed my nineteen days' journey from New York to Tegucigalpa. The consul of the United States and other gentlemen, who had met me in Comayguela, eon ducted me through the quiet, well-paved streets so much more eleanly in their appearance than any I had seen on my journey to the American consulate. What I saw of the city impressed me very favorably, and I "felt a feeling of satisfaction in knowing that it was to be my home for some time. Time, with its increasing knowledge of the place and its people, has not lessened my satisfaction. If the limits of my subject allowed, I might add many pages about this ancient, interesting, and beautifully situated "city of the silver hills," and about the mode of life and social customs of its inhabi tants.

The opinion is general outside of Treasury circles that there will have to be another issue of bonds. The opinion is growing that a different system from that pursued for some years will be adopted neces sarily, if there is not to be a constant and irrigating drain upon the Treasury for gold. Representative Skinner left here on the first morning train. Mr. J. F. Barrett received a telegram yesterday stating that his father, Rev. Mr. Barrett, was quite ill at Ruther fordton. and obtaining leave of absence frm the Treasury Department, left for that place the same day. Young E. V. Brooks, of Grifton, cor respondent and Treasury employe, is better to day. He was not taken to the hospital. Mrs. Sarah D. Behrman petitions here for a divorce, on the ground of bigamy, from her husband, Rappael Behrman, late of Tarboro. He is serving out a term of imprisonment here as he did at Tarboro. for the offense. Arrived: D. C. Waddell. 8. L. Clem mons and wife, Asheville: W. A. Whit ing, Wilmington; C. T. Pfohl and daughters, Salem.

A Paris Newspaper Bays It Is Irretrievably Xost, But is Probably Talking Through Its Hat. Paris, Sept , 14. The Siecle says the United States government has received complete explanations of the matters of the offense, prosecution and sentence of ex-United States Consul Waller, which show that his case is irretrieva bly lost. Washington, Sept. 14.-rState Depart ment officials know nothing of the in formation respecting the Waller case professed to have been obtained by the Siecle, of Paris, and cannot understand the basis for the claim that Waller's cause "has been irretrivably lost." They attach no importance to the al leged news. The record and proceed ings of the coutt-martial are not due in France until about the end of the month, according to statements made by the French ministry for foreign affairs to Ambassador Eustis, and if it be true that they are in Paris, it is said that the French ministry will find some embarrassment in explaining its state ment given out that they would not be due for more than a week yet, the steamer supposed to be bearing them naving reached Aden on the Red Sea, on September 12th As a matter of general interest any apparently exclu sive item of foreign news published in any Parisian newspaper can be classed as a fabrication destitute of foundation in fact. There have been no breaks in this record so far as officials here hve oeen aoie to ooserve. FROM A8BSTUXE. Neighbors Bound Over to Coart Alder man W. V. Balder A Reward for Jail Breakers.

O. 202 SOUTH TRYON STREET. KAMSETJK'S MILLS. Incidents of Dr. Braxton Craven's Barly Days When Andrew Jackson First Prac ticed Law. Correspondence of the Obesrver. Ramseub, Sept. 13. I admire the Ob- sebveb's conservative, candid position or financial controversy, ability, latest full and correct market reports and the "get-up and stir" it exhibits in procur ing the latest news. The following items from this, Ran dolph county, may be of some interest to your readers: The new cotton mill of Randolph Manufacturing Company, Franklins ville, is nearing completion. Cedar Manufacturing Company, Cedar Falls, is progressing well with their mill. Randolph Manufacturing Com pany,Randleman, are making improve ments. Columbia Manufacturing Com pany is enlarging steam and electric light plants and adding new machinery. Enterprise Manufacturing Company, Coleridge, is installing a new electric plant and adding this and that to their mill. Dr. Braxton Craven was born very near here, and was bound to and reared by a Quaker farmer, Nathan Cox, for whom he plowed in the Deep river bot toms and hauled flour, bacon, etc., to Fayetteville with a four-horse wagon, selling out his load and returning the money to Mr. Cox. He would mount the stump on Monday and repeat verba tim any sermon, it is said, he heard on Sunday, imitating well the preacher in intonation and gestures. All this when he was quite young. It may not be known to all your read ers that Andrew Jackson first appeared at the bar in this county in the old court house now standing at Brown's Crossing, a few miles from Randleman, but I suppose it is the truth although I have never noticed it in any history or biography of his life that I have read. A good farmer and citizen, Jos. York, 57 years old, died near here to-day after going to his field to work. The farmers are happy in this section and are not all 16 to 1 by a big sight. THE BATTLESHIP INDIANA. Secretary Herbert Orders Mr. Cramp to Dock It at Port Boyal, S. C Camp Re fuses and Will Dock it at Halifax. Washington, Sept. 14. Mr. Charles Cramp, the Philadelphia ship-builder, had a talk with Secretary Herbert to day about the request made by the Sec retary of the Navy that the new battle ship Indiana should be docked in the new naval dry dock at Port Royal, S. C, and njt in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Secretary Herbert has no authority in the premises, as the Indiana has not yet been turned over to the govern ment. Mr. Cramp recently informed the Department that he would dock the vessel at Halifax, giving as his reason that there was no adequate arrange ments for so doing in this country. To this Mr. Herbert took exception, and informed Mr. Cramp that the Port Royal dock was ready. In their con versation to-day Mr. Cramp indicated to Mr. Herbert that be would stick to his original intention of taking the In diana to Halifax. He said that as the Port Royal dock had not been test ed yet by any vessel, he did not like to make the first attempt, and would prefer teat the government be the first to "try it on the dog," as the slang phrase goes. Gen. Harrison's Camp Breaks. New York, Sept. 14. Preparations were made yesterday for the breaking up Dodd Camp, where Gen. Harrison has been for the past two months. This afternoon the ex-President and the en tire party will take the Adirondack & Montreal express for New York, where they will remain until Monday after noon, when they will go to Indianapolis. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Cotton Drops 7 to 8 Points on n Lower Liverpool Market. Special by Private Wire to Harrison Watts. New YosK,Bept. 14 The weather reports in the Financial hronlcle this morning were mainly bullish. From Texas the Chronloie is advised that the cotton crop has met with disaster almost everywhere. Hot and dry weather has caused the bolls to open rapidly and picking is progressing well. The plant Is sneddina badly, our own advices from Texas ind'eate that there will be very little top orop, so that an early frost cannot do much further damage. There has been but litfe rain daring the week, either in Texas or other cotton-growing Slates. On the exchange to-day It was said that a representative of a well-known Greek cotton house reports from Texas, wnere oe now is. tnat ne estimates the croo of the State at 1, 00,000 bales Bis home la Deansn ana pi aces no reliance on the esti mate Liverpool was down l-64d., wit h gales of only 6,000 bales, and closed barelv stead v. Oar market opened down a point or two and declined about 6 more, making the ntt loss for the day 7 to 8 points Liverpool natur ally has a bad Influence on price here and tne Dears are giaa to make the most ot it while they can. The professional bear also points at the receipts and calls them heavy. All port receipts were estimated at ll.ooo against 18.458 last year. From this oar friends will see that the bear calls receipts heavy if they exceed 60 per cent of what they were on the same day last year. The amount of the crop which came Into sight daring the week was 73,064; same time last year izz.oa. ine amount that came Into sight since September I, '885. Is 108.867: same time last year 178.848. The visible supply is now 1,48,549 against i,vijvsb last year, we cannot see that either receipts or crop prospects warrant lower prices. V. O'DillAOo, The Stock Market Weak. New Yoaar, Sept. 14. Continued liquida tion caused farther deollnes in the stock market, which were general throughout the list and extended from 1 to 8. A rally occurred on shorts' covering in the second boar, bnt the publication of the bank statement, which revived fears of tight money, led to a renewed selling movement near the nd. The market closed weak and not far Irom the lowest points. Mv Tokje Niws Bureau. Yesterday's Cain in Wheat Is Lost, and the Market Contlnnee to Decline. Chic a so, Sept. 14 Since the close last Saturday theehangea in oar market were as follows: Wheat 14. corn oats pork 25 per barret, lard and ribs 17 to 20 per 100 pounds lower. Wheat. This has been another trying week for holders. With the exception ot yesterday, the market has displayed a steady downward tendency, with reactions so feeble that even shorts showed a hesi tancy in covering. There baa indeed been nothing encouraging to buyers la the face of this contlnn-d depression, exeept the fact that the market is extremely low as compared with the fig ares which prevailed the fore pat t of summer, when the sit na tion statistically was not as strong aa it is now, but the conditions governing the trade are so very ranch different bow that even, the wide gap in prices does not not as an in centive on which to buy Under ordinary conditions tho strong cash situation, the scarcity of wheat la the Central, West and Hoethwest, the big floor demand and the abnormally low prioe would be the biggest kind ota bull ar go ment. bnt at present, when the local trade is bearish and they continue o sell irrespective of the legiti mate situation; and there is no demand from investors -or capitalists, owing to tne steady withdrawal of gold from the Treas ury for Sbipment abroad, and nothing -- eouraging that the heavy drain will cease, the strong points In the situation count for naught and the market Is left unsurported to pursue its downward coarse The feeling to-day has been extremely heavy and the entire gain of yesterday ws lost. The weekly clearances were about 600 000 bush els smaller than a week ago. bat cables were higher and shipments from the Argen tine were light. A number of traders, how ever, who bought on the ramor that the syndicate won id deposit tfl,ouo,000 were dis appointed when it was learned that no enoh deooslt would be made and placed their holdl ogs on the market for sale. As soon as a scattered demand around the opening had been satisfied prices gave way under their offerings, the net decline for the day being i8. The near-by futures of corn to day were affected by an increase in receipts and large estimate for Monday 00 cars. There was good baying early of October by shorts, but as soon as tne support ceased that option declined 1 per bushel, closing weak. May showed a net decline ot?. Provisions were easier on heavier receipts of hogs in the West'. Local operators are looking for librral receipts here next week and sold some In anticipation of lower prices. Lak son Bbos. A Co.
