If Is rather Interesting to note that the Republican party, through Its lead ing representatives in the lower house of Congress, declared In the debate on the International monetary resolution on Saturday that the. Republican party was not a gold standard party. The Senate resolution was before the House, and-it passed after spirited de bate by a Vote of 279 to 3. all the Dem ocrats and Populists voting for it, after declaring that they did not believe that it would accomplish any practical re sults.

Lily was only 15 years ' old, and con sequently when Wilson Dttckens learned last night that his pretty little daughter r..-id taken the Southern Railway tra'n for Charlotte, under the escort (on the sly) of Frank Johnson, a Dlain vounar farmer of Davidson county, he became alarmed. He wired Sheriff Smith to head the young couple oft at this pi ice, and the sheriff, accompanied by Officer Munzler, did so. The sheriff had really come in - on the same train with the elopers, rand had iruessed they were run-a-ways before he saw the telegram from Lexington. It was with no little agitation that Frank and Lily learned that they could not complete their Journey to -Jri-fna Green Fort Mill- 'Well, ;;I guess I'll have to give you up.

On account of the company having a stock company, many of the oid directora. who were only policy holders, were not eligible tor re-election.

Mr. Bigelow leaves to-night on his pleasant mission. His many mends here send their hearty congratulations along with him, for they will not have an opportunity of expressing them in person after the happy event, for Mr. Bigelow will not return to Charlotte. He is to make his home in Morristown. His departure from Charlotte will be a source of genuine regret. He has been a resident of the city for seven or eight years, and has made a number of staunch friends here. But as every "sweet is not without its bitter," so Is the saying oftimes in versely true, as the present instance for example. Mr. A. C.

He is not a stranger here, having been draughtsman at the D. A. Tompkins Co. for several years. During tnat time ne made many friends so cially and professionally.

A pretty member of one of. the best families in the city married a vagrant, who had just come out of the almshouse and gives as a reason for her remarkable conduct that the man's mother, a fortuneteller, per suaded her that death would soon claim her if she did not marry the son of the old crone. Eve Esterlin was the -nam of the unfortunate girl, Jim Courtney) being her husband. The couple went to the residence of Justice Brinson ::and asked to be . married.

Montgomery. A bill repealing - that section of the law providing for sending to Washing ton by special messenger presidential election certificates ' was passed, after an explanation by Mr. Mercer, Repub lican, of Nebraska, that the certificates could as wel be sent by mail or express and that the present system was un necessry And expensive. t '-The Senate bill to extend the use of the mails to postal cards and envelopes owned by the United States Economic Postage Association, was laid on the table." t t Mr. Aldrich, Republican, of Illinois. called up the! "anti-prixe fight bill." The measure provides that no picture or de scription vf jany prize fight or encoun-. ter or pugilists, under whatever name. or any proposal, or record of betting on the samt. shall be transmitted in the mails of the United States, or by in ter-State . commerce,- : whether -" In newspaper, or other periodical, or In vny other form; and that any person tending such matter, or knowingly re-i ceiving such matter for transmission by mail or inter-State commerce, shall be deemed sruilty of a misdemeanor; and shall be punishable by imprison ment for not more than five years, in the discretion of the court, or by a fins ndt exceeding $1,000. " i Mr. Aldrich ; in supporting the meas ure, said that all the , States of the Union, saver ene or two, forbid prise fighting, which has been banned along with duelling, slavery,: lotteries and pollgamy, ,The bill simply protected the more advanced States, which have forbidden pugilism as brutal and brut alising, against prize-fights brought into their borders in pictures and de scrtptions, which are only a little less harmful than the degrading sport they describe. The bill did not forbid a brief statement of the fight, as a mat- ter or news.) , Congress In its swiftest 'enactment forbade prize-fighting in its whole Jur-t Isdiction, and so drove a prospective prize-fight, announced to occur in one of the terrftortes, Into the mountains of Mexico, whose government had also icroiuaen ic xms dim is s toxical ex. tension and protection, approved by this committee and since enacted into law. prohibiting the inter-State trans- portation of obscene pictures; pictures of the brutality of pugilism are hard ly less harmful to our yojith. It is in accord, also, with the anti-divorce "act of Congress, which has protected the families of the whole land against the "divorce colonies" of one of the Terri tories. This bill calls for immefoiate consideration for manifest-reasons. It is believed ; that the reputable press, which describes prise-fights only be cause of competition, will welcome this protection. Mr. Morse, Republican, of Massachu setts, advocated the passage of the measure. In reply to a question he s-Ud that he hoped that the outcome of the coming-fight will be that it would be telegraphed over the country that the two brutes had killed themselves. Mr. Grosvenor, Republican, of-Ohio,-favored the bill. Mr.- Dockery, Democrat, of Missouri, opposed prize-fights, but considered this an extraordinary proceeding. It was a censorship of the press. If this was done it could be extended to de tails of murder and other crimes. Mr. Cummlngs, Democrat, of New York, considered it very dangerous ground, and said that it could be made to prevent pending through the mails hundreds of books now in print, with pictures of pugilists in them. It would be just as fweii to prevent comic pic- tures of public men. Mr. Hepburn', of Iowa, defended the measure, holding that it would not prove a ceasorshlp or the press. Mr. Quigg. Republican, or New York, moved to adjourn, pending which Mr. Dockery moved to lay the bin on the table. Mr. Quigg withdrew his motion, and Mr. Payne moved to take a recess. Mr. Payne withdrew that motion, and the Speaker put the question for the third reading of the bill. The vote re suited: Yeas 56. nays 98. The motion of Mr. Dockery to lay the bill on the table was then adopted yeas 73. nays o5. Mr. Aldrich demanded the yeas and nays on the question and they were ordered. Pending the roll call, Mr; Grosvenor endeavored to have the bill referred to the Judiciary committee, but the proposition was rejected. A motion by Mr. Cannon for a recess until 10 o dock to-morrow was agreed to. This leaves the prize-fight bill in the same position, the yeas and nays being oredered on the motion to lay on the table. to Tennessee, proceeding from there rectly to Nebraska to-morrow, "General Lee is a liar, an tmposter and a' rebel,"" said General Palmerole, Secretary of State for Cuba, when In formed that the -American Consul Gen- eral -was authority for the statement that? the release of Charles Scott has been demanded because he has been arrested and kept in prison in deflnace of law.
