Ay 3 1 - - I t I J i " - mm irmn abtt. j AaheviUe, ta North Carolina, w" among- the first places ta the United - -State perhaps It was the very first adopt an ordinance making It a mis ' demeanor to expectorate on a pave- meat. In a street car or on the wails or - floors of any public building-. San Fran Cisco has a similar ordinance and week "beore last a millionaire of that city ras fined for spitting In a street car. In Philadelphia, as was set forth in a 'selection printed in yesterday's paper, there are signs along the leading thor oughfares asking people not to spit on the streets. Trolley cars have Just gone - into service in Charleston and the News and Courier of yesterday asked the city council to "pass an ordinance prohibiting the spitting habit In public places and particularly in the street j cars." At first blush all this appears to the average man as a species of Miss Nancyism, but the subject is one which will bear reflection. Promiscuous spit ting is, to employ a term which is the exclusive property of the ladies, a "hor rid habit. To even suggest as much is to cause many gentlemen who indulge in ft because it is the custom of the country, to mend their ways. Perhaps the ordinances on the subject, in effect in various cities, are not very rigidly enforced, but their simple enactment is educational and it is a form of educa tion which we may reasonably expect to increase. In some older countries genteel people never thinking of ex pectorating in public apd with the progress of years and the advance of civilisation in America we may hope to reach the period when the pavements of our towns and cities, the floors of street cars and the floors and walls of public buildings will no longer be be spattered and disfigured by discharges from the mouth, and this whether the matter is regulated by law or not. "BAD POLITICS. An editorial under the above heading In the Richmond Dispatch, a free silver paper, reads as follows: A Washington special to the Balti more Sun says that the National As sociation of Democratic Clubs, whose headquarters are in the capital city, to gether with the Democrats of the Dis trict of Columbia, are making prepara tions for an elaborate celebration of Independence Day on July 5th, to which they propose to give unusual po litical slsmiflcance. But. adds the spe clal, while the Tammany organization in New York has planned to make its celebration a sort of Democratic love feast, and as Invited the participation of Democrats representing every shade of Democratic sentiment, including the most oronounced supporters of the Chi. caao Dlatform. the officers of the Na tlonal Association of Democratic Clubs have determined that none but those in full sympathy with the silver move ment and the declarations of the last Democratic platform shall be permitted to take part in their celebration The wise and patriotic thing for the officers of the National Association of Demociatic Clubs to do is to throw wide open the doors of the house of their fathers and invite to seat at the ban queting table all members of the great political lamuy wno propose to sup port the Democratic party's nominees and work for the party's supremacy in the future. Such a course would, we believe. prove most potential in strengthening the Democratic organ!

Further than this, the Judge ap points Kerr Cralge. Esq.. special master take testimony and report .whether there was fraud in the making of the and ample time is given both sides for the filing of testimony. As to .... . finriina .. thev are as to 1 IltT twv n matters of law about which we know nothing. If Judge SimontoiCwas not correct the case, we take It. will be ap pealed and he will be over-ruled. But there is ground for satisfaction in his aDoolntment of a special master to in intn the eharees of fraud. For months the State has rung with tnese charges. The Governor himself has made them over his own name and they ought to be probed to the bottom. If they are well-founded the lease should be annulled and the parties to the transaction punished: if they are not, these parties are entitled to vindication. The Judge is to be congratulated upon his choice of a special master. Mr. Cralge will go Into the matter thorough. ly, and his character is such that his report will be accepted by the people of the State a-, consistent with the evi dence. About five months are given for the filing of testimony and meantime the lease matter remains In statu quo. BUTLER UNJUST TO WATSON. He (Tom Watson) could have hAon the star attraction in the cam oaiKn. Hon. Marion Butler's signed editorial in the Caucasian. Could have been? Ah. Indeed! The Hon. Thomas Watson WAS the star at traction of the last campaign. He was the planet Mars of Populism, and yet at the same time he was belted with more Saturnalian rings or fire that any Populist that lighted up the night. He breathed fire from his nostrils, and spat flames when he spoke. When he wrote his editorials for the Peoples Party Paper especially when he was burning up the Hon. Marion Butler- red balls of fire fell from the point of his pen. The wheels in his head were always scorching. Tom Watson was the Mlddle-of-the-Road sky-rocket in the last campaign the only Populist who scintillated continually, and yet the Hon. Marlon Butler says "he aould have been" the star attraction. Why the foot-lights were all put out whenever Mr. Watson appeared on the stage, because he wss inherently incan descent and was per se an illumination Even at the risk of offending Rev Hellelujah Air. and the Caucasian, w feel it inrumbent upon us to complai of the keeper of the capitol Raleigh for tutting down some the beautiful trees In the capitol square in Raleigh, and the mangling of other until some of them look like mule' tails, as our Raleigh correspondent in forms us has been done.

Tim Alive- Kew York, July l.-Mrs. Augusta Jdew I Mark, the midwife, who is under arrest in connection with the murder ot tne .uuDosed to be Wm. Guldensuppe spent the night a prisoner at police headquarters. She still insists that Gul densuppe has not been murdered, and that he will turn up alive before long. Mrs. Nack slept well all night. A re porter found her in a cheerful mood this morning. She insisted mat she saw Guldensuppe Saturday, two hours before the first portion of the body was found floating in the Kast river, at the foot of Eleventh street. There Is consid erable speculation among the police as to the murdered man being t.uioen- notwlthstanding the positive suppe, identification of the missing mans friends. Dr. Crosby, four attendants from the bath house and an unknown man called at the morgue to-day. and positively identified the legs as those of Guldensuppe. Every effort is being made to extort an admission from Mrs. Nack. that she has knowledge of the murder of Gul densuppe. She was suujevieu " physical examination by police station matrons this forenoon. Her pt-ruu howed marks which Indicated mat within a few days sne naa iwn en gaged in a hard 'struggle. During the examination jsors. i mi - been almost hysterical, and to have nearly broken down several times. Mrs. Nack was arraigned before a police . i ..I nantml nfficp magistrate oy a. t-uiuu i men and her lawyer. She was visibly nervous. Her attorney objected to his client being held. There was no proof that she had committed a crime. The magistrate decided to continue the pre liminary hearing from day to day, un- til the matter is settled. A formal complaint will be made to-morrow. Inspector O'Brien, In charge oi tne detective agency, said that he did not care to speak of the affair, as to .hoihpr the body is that of Gulden- ...nn h,t admitted that to be the con clusion he had drawn from the evidence at hand. He positively oecunea iu .- swer the questions as 10 neura murder was committed in Mrs. Nack's apartments. When the woman is ar raigned to-morrow. dii:ii win have all the witnesses present, in cluding Mrs. Riger. the Long jsianu Oltv shoD keeper, who has made a D a tmnt r the effect that she sold to a woman whom she has suDsiam.ian Identified as Mrs. Nack. the piece of oil cloth from which were cut the parts which were wrapped around tne sev eral parts of the body, when subse quently found. O'Brien seemed to ex press some doubt as to whether Mrs. Riger will consider her memory or im pressions strong enough to swear to the identification In court. If she does not. a material link in the chain of evidence Birninsst the nrisoner will have been lost. O'Brien said that he has caupht the nrisoner in mahv contradictions in his interview with her. and on the other hand he has been able to corrob orate some of the assertions made by her. He said that he has found thr .-.t-iirinfi I tplperam which Mrs. NacK said Ouldensuppe had sent to her Saturday a.ternoon, asking her to go to the baths, and tell the superintend ent to put another man in nis piace fpi i.itrniK ed to disclose its exact language. I this telegram is genuine and was reality sent by Guldensuppe, it is sum cient proof that Guldensuppe was auv arter the first portion of the dismem bered ccrpse was found on Saturday for it was sent some time after that in the search of the woman's room to-aay tne police found a small piece of white oil cloth, similar to rcmc cf th same material with which the parts o me corpse was wrapped. It is oii clot of a common sort, end is used fre quently in cases requiring the attend qnce or a .midwife. Mrs. F.iger. th vong island snop Keeper, said to O'Brien that she did not sell any stuff oi mat Kina to the woman who bought tne patterned article last week. Noth Ing else of a suspicious nature wa "mm in ius. nacK s rooms, as far a. the polite would admit. It was said that no Wood spots in any nart of thp premises were found, and no evidence or a struggle anywhere about The only supposed blood snots thua tar revealed, o Bnen declared, were on tne barrel of a revolver which lay on tne mantle in the woman's sitting roum. rtom toroner I uthill and hi pnysician. averred that stains on that weapon seemed to be lil.Mttl. irs. r.innia aimer and her young laughter.

There is a current rumor that a new Democratic dally Is to be established here. On an average there Is a news paper every year which springs "P hfre as a candidate ior tne uoiicmo vi w cemetery. It is interesting to note in this connection that it is now said of the defunct Tribune, that it "died be cause it had no policy." The Farmers' Alliance must be nearly on the ground If the newspaper state ments of our people be true; that while last August there was wu.uwu in tne business aaency fund, now there is hardly J10.000. A few years ago if a Democrat dared to say anything about the Alliance the cry of "persecution" was raised. Like Hon. S. Otho Wilson, the Alliance claimed to be "the child of persecution." To the casual observer it would appear that the Alliance is al most upon its last legs. This morning a very sick negro was put on a train at Selma and brought here.

Much of the public talk is about the puDlie printing. The fctate Treasurer i lawyers say they cannot touch the pub lic printers criminally, but want to straighten matters. The charges agi-nst agajnst tne puDlie printers have been made ever since they took hold. But lately they nave grown very grae. it is significant that it was and is the Populists and Republicans who make these charges.

Of Earlv's Division, the Louisiana and Hoke's Brig-ades were advanced charge the enemy behind fences. It was rapidly done (and. as Is our usual ror tune, immediately in our front was stone fence) and the enemy driven be fore us through the town to their fort fled heights behind. In this charge w lost a number of gallant officers an men (more than the balance of the bri fade) and captured a battery near th fence. This battery will be credited to Early's Division see if it isn't. The Virginia and Georgia brigades were held In reserve. Next day (2nd) we were or dered (the Lousiana and North Carol na brigades) to charge the heights. No it is proper to say there are a series o! heights, upon which the enemy had been driven from all around. Longstreet charged on the south face and was re pulsed. A. P.

Our two lri- gades were ordered, late in the even ing, to charge the north front, and after a struggle such as this world has fur nished no parallel to. 73 North Carolin ians of the Slxtn Kegiment ana ii Louisianans of Hays' Brigatle scaled the waits and planted the colors of the Sixth North Carolina and Ninth Louis iana on the puns. It was now fully dark. The enemy stood with a tenacity never Itefore displayed by them, and with bayonets, clubbed muskets, sword and pistol and rocks from the wall we cleared the heights and silenced the guns.

Mr v ,wt ftsKea wnai ciinnttic- ui itary reason Justified this heavy duty. Mr. Allison responded that Florida pro duced pineapples and great pressure had been brought to bear for adequate protection. "Where does the pressure come from?" asked Mr. Bacon, of Georgia. "I cannot give specifications." re sponded Mr. Allison, but I will say it comes from both sides of this cham ber." The Florida Senators, Messrs. Mal lorv and Pasco. Democrats, explained the" recent development of the pineap ple ind-irstry in Florida, which led Mr. Orav, of Delaware, to say in an ani mated responFe that it would have been better had Florida lands been left primeval, particularly so if their use for raising pineapples was to be fol lowed by a tax on the bulk of the peo ple. Mr. Pasco urged that the Florida fruits should receive the same benefits as those of the North. Mr. Vest moved to reduce the rate on pineapples to 20 percent ad valorem: rejected. Lead ore and lead in pigs were then considered, Mr. Allen, of Nebraska, sneaking at length against the commit tee ra-.es. The paragraph was further debated bv Messrs.

The Jury in the conspiracy case of the American Tolrnt -co Company, which has been on trial itefore Judge Fitzgerald in the Court of General Sessions, failed to agree. This is regarded as a victory for the prosecution by District Attorney uicoti. The jury was out fifteen hours, when they came in and informed the court that they were unable to agree. It was decided that It would be useless to lock them up again, and they were discharg ed. It was learned that 18 ballots had been taken during the last twelve hours, and the vote stood 10 for conviction and 2 for acquittal. The Jurors who held out for acquittal were Hobart C. Fash and Foster Milllken. During the morn ing. Juror Binsse' became ill and was permitted to send for a physician.
