Shortly bei'ore It o'clock, thare was an explosion caused -by-' he gas which had generated 'in the engine' room and the decks bf our boat were ripped wide open. Immediately following this smoke ana fire gushed forth and we were forced to, get to the far end of the vessel in order to be able to breathe. ' A short while after this the situation become so serious that- we were all taken on board the Siminole. For more than five hours .we remained on the decks of that vessel in a soaking rain.

The Fair Association have placed large number of rubber stamps bearing an invitation to the Eastern Carolina Fair to be held next week. Every business man or firm who has one of these stamps is urged to mark all ma matter which he sends out. By doing this you will be ajding greatly in adver tising tne fair ana bringing more people to New Bern next week. A number of marshals for the Eastern Carolina Fair yesterday called at the A. T. Willis Company's store and secur ed their regalias. However, there are still a number Who have not done this and they are urged to attend to the matter promptly. Mrs. Goerge Green, who is in charge of the department of curios and relics at the' Easter Carolina, Fair states that she is meeting with much success in her work of securing articles for ex hibit. However, the display is far from complete and she asks us to urge any person having any articles of his torical value or curios to communicate with her without delay and she will call on them. -'More than a hundred valu able prizes are. off fed for exhibits in this department.

D. Warren is in Raleigh today to attend a meeting of the Democratic State Executive Committee to recon sider previous action taken prescribing who may participate in the Senatorial primary. At a previous meeting it was decided that no one should be all lowed to participate in the primary unless voting Democratic from President down to constable, but there is a feeling on the part cf a considerable number of Democrats that this ruling is too strict and the meeting of the com mittee was called to adopt a new ruling' less" sweping in' its provisions. Asheville, N. C., Oct. 22. Chair man C. A. Webb, of the Democratic Executive Committee of the State, was seen with reference to the meeting of the committees which is to be held in Raleigh Thursday to reconsider the Hackett resolution by which the "Dem--cratic ticket" was defined. Mr. Webb stated that he was. sure the resolution would be repealed, but he further stated that he could not undertake to say what action the committee would take in regard to the matter o what re striction if any, would be placed on those tajcing part in the Senatorial primary. According to the Hackett .1 resolution a voter must vote the whole Democratic ticket before voting in the Senatorial primary. ' When the reso lution is repealed it might be possible that the committee might decide on modified restrictions, such as requiring the voter to vote the National ticket, or perchance the State ticket. Mr. Webb coufd not undertake to say what would be done. The managers of the three Senato rial candidates have agreed to the re peal of the- resolution, as has already been stated, and most of. the members of the rommittee have done the same agreeing that the resolution was too strict, but there are a few who are op posed to the repeal, consequently it could hot be repealed without 'calling the committee together. WILSON NOT K. OF C. New York, Oct. 22. In reference to . the dispatch from Atlanta, Ga., which said that Thomas E. Watson, "who , was the- running mate of Bryan on the Populist branch of the fusion ticket in 1896, had announced himself against Governor Wilson because rhe latter had joined the Knights of Columbus, William . P. Larkin,. chairman of the, New York chapter of that organization, made the following statement; today: . "The report that Governor Wilson has joined the Knights of Columbus is erroneous. As a matter ot tact, he is nor eligible for' membership, as he is not a Catholic." i RECEPTION TO SENATOR SIM MONS; -The Elks' Club will tender a reception to Hon. F. M.
