FEW AT THE EXPOSITION.
The Strike of the Car Drivers and BaC
Weather the Cause.


Weather the Cause.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 28.-The street car
drivers strike had It's effect upon the Worlds
Exposition to-day. The weather was cloudy
and threatening rain Walking was not good,
and although every species of vehicle pro-
durable was pressed into service, the attend
ance was very small. Notwithstanding these
untoward circumstances, the exhibitors were
at their posts as usual. The programme of
the day, divine service and a concert, was
carried out. In point of fact to-day may be
considered financial blank for the exposi-
ton. This, however, was philOsOphically
accepted as one of the minor difficulties
always attending great enterprises, and work
progressed with the accustomed vigOr. About
fifty cars of exhibit freight were handled. and
space in the bnilding was rapidly filled in
While the exhibitors are ready for business,
they express dissatisfaction at the strike and
consequent lack of passenger facilities to the
grounds. Those who are not quite ready, on
the principle that sit is an ill wind that blows
nobody good" rejoiced that the slim attend
ance enabled them to work with greater speed,
The stock exhibit received minor additions
to-day, and affairs generally, all things con-
sidered, are as encouraging as ever

AMID THE AsHEs.-The story OF the
Gunter murders in Chatham Is brought
to mind. BY a tale Of mystery from Swift
Creek, in Wake county. One morning
last week, Mr.. Joseph King, on going to
the cabin where lived his mother-in-law'
Mrs. Patsie Beasiey, about 400 yards
from his own residence, found a pile OF
s~mouldering ruins with her bones rleam-
ing white amid the ashes!
The dead n had no enemies, but
was reputed to have some money con-
I cealed in the house, as was the case with
Mrs. Gunter. The FIRE may have result
ed from accident, but there are fears that
it did not.
