Mr. Alspaagb's Bar "Banted an4 afr. Burke's Bests Ignited Bat Saved With out Difficulty. Correspondence of tbe Observer. Tatxobsvxlib, Oct. 18. Tbe town was visited by two fires this morning. Fire was discovered about 3 o'clock in tbe barn of Mr. U. I. AlsDauph. For a time the town was panic stricken as everything is so dry that the mere men tion of fire was paralyzing. The barn stood just back of Mr. Alspangb's dwel ling house, but the wind blew . the flames in the opposite direction and tbe house did not v&tch. A small building in tbe yard took Ore cut was extinguish ed. The loss is slight. Happily Mr. Alspaugb's horses were out at the farm, and no live stock of any kind, except two hogs, were in the building. The hogs perished in the flames. The second fire was at Mr. R. B Burke's residence. This was extin guished before any damage was done. A Mr. Pennell, living in the southern suburbs, started to the first fire and in passing Mr. Burke's noticed the blaze. He stopped and put it out before it had made any headway. Mr. Burke had gone to the first fire, and knew nothing of the dancer 01 nis own premises until a runner went and informed him. When the crowd learned that his bouse had taken fire, the impression prevailed that tbe town had been set in several places, and excitement ran high. Such, how ever, was not the case. Mr. Burke's bouse caught from an ash barrel. The oritrin of the first fire is doubtful. The most plausible theory .is that some one slept in the barn, and either negli gently or wilfully fired it. There was no insurance. CARtlSLK IN DEHAHn, We Will Address the Mew York Chamber of Commerce, Bat Mast Decline Other Invitations. Washington, Oct. 16. Secretary Car lisle has accepted an invitation to at tend the annual dinner of tbe New York chamber of commerce on Novem ber 18th next. Mr. Carlisle will deliver the principal address. It will be on sound money. Mr. Carlisle has declined to accept an invitation to deliver an address at the Tammany Hall ratification meeting in New York on October 22nd, as on that d n h ; u ill been route with thePreside it 10 attend the Atlanta Exposition. He has also declined an invitation to ad dress the labor -union organizations at Chicago, 111., on December 10th, on the subject of sound money. Mr. Carlisle states that about that time Congress will assemble and his presence here will be necessary. He intimates that he may find an opportunity later to deliver an address before the labor organiza tions of trhieago on tbe subject. Secre tary Carlisle has received an invitation from the Hurst Iiemocratio Club, of Baltimore, to deliver a political speech at their meeting on Saturday, Novem ber 2nd. It is probable that he wil. de cline the invitation under the rule lajd down Dy trie iresiaent tnai caoinet-oi-ficers and other government officials are not expected to make political addresses outside of their own State. Tbe Dry Goods Market Continues to Im prove Prices Going Up. New York, Oct. 17. The attendance of buyers to-day in the dry croods market has shown some improvement m numbers. Thus spot business has presented a somewhat livelier appear ance, ai,d in a number 01 directions actual sales compare favorably with preceding days of the week. Through tbe mails a fair aggregate business has come to hand in staple and fancy cot tons. In tbe woolen (roods departments the demand for men's wear continues indifferent, but the tendency of prices n some fabrics, such as clay worsteds. is against buyers. Dress fabrics are very firm, with a well-sustained de mand for both fall and spring goods. Tbe New General Manager of tbe Georgia Central. Chicago, 111., Oct. 17.

Fifty of the North Carolina editors at Atlanta decided to visit Chattanooga and Nashville, the others remaining at the exp. sition. The new battle-ship Indiana did a preliminary run over the trial course near Boston Tuesday, making over 15 knots with the greatest ease. She can probably make 16. The steamer Woodhall, which cleared from Baltimore for Progress, Mexico, and which is new at New Orleans, is an object of suspicion by the Spanish minister in this country. Among the additions to the jury of awards at tbe Atlanta Exposition are Prof. Joseph A. Holmes, of North Caro Una, on geology, and Mr. Gilford Pin chot, of Biltmore, expert in forestry. The London Morning Post will publish a dispatch from Paris saying that official returns show that the number of Spanish troops killed in fighting or by disease since the opening of the campaign in Cuba is 1,997.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. A Decline In Liverpool Caused a Big; Drop in Cotton Near the Opeaing, Bat a Gain of 2 Points Was Scored at the Close. Special by Private Wire to Harrison Watts. NtW York. Oct. 16 The higher ODenin. of our market was due to tbe fact that Liv erpool naa not aeeuned sumctently to place I hem on a par 1th ou' closing prices of ltst evening, tney being onl 1-rMcl. lower on futures, with sales of 12.000 bales at un changed prices. Jannary sold at 9 85 on the op-ning call. Liverpool then began falling rnpiuiy ouu uur uiirset naturally louowea until the January option touched 0.16. beinz a decline of 28 points from yesterday's high est. LiverpMrs close was easy at a net luss of 6-64d. equivalent to Ml of oar points).

But, not withstanding these unfavorable conditions threatening the bull side of cotton, we still believe that purchases made on material breaks are likely to prove profitable to the man wno onys conmentiy ana is protected by ample margins. In a market that rises eeeuiatlo on so points margin should never oe nazaraeo. as tbe ehanoes against makin a successful trade are too great and pyramiding at prevailing price should be discountenanced, as It would be almost dis astrous. When the present weakness has been overcome and expected light receipts are Tvnueu wmwaot uios it at ail UBtiaei j that prlees may go higher than th y have yet been, but with so ma eh room below into which prlees may drop. It seems to ns that a bull cannot be too eeurtous.

Shorts became good buyers, Kd by a large professional, and there was some good baying for outsiders through commission houses Offerings were light under S10, but as soon as this price was reached they were noticed to be very free, apparently from the same source as yester day, and as sooa as tbe demand baa been satisfied tbe market declined easily about , some of the early buyers turning sellers on a report from Argentine that tbe crop in t hat ooon'ry would be tbe larget on record. This reoort was quite contradictory to one received a short time ago, which stated tbat locusts were ruining the wheat.
