East 23d street to Madison Square Pres
byterian church, where the last funeral
services were performed by the pastor,
Rev DIR. Charles H. Parkhurst. Al
though the morning broke dark and
gloomy, with occasional bursts of rain,
yet hundreds of people gathered early in
the neighborhood oftke chuych and Mr..
Primes house. Squads of police officers
began to arrive early and were placed in
| position TO opreserye order Two hHndred
and hfty were deployed in lines extend
ling from Mr.. Primes house to the
church, two blocks away; while other
officers guarded the church doors and
passages leading to them. No one, not
even intimate friends, of family were
admitted within the doors of the Prime
mansion, and only the family and pail

LONDON, Nov. End.
The fdfther hearing of the evidence
in the trial of Mr.. Stead, editor of the
Pail Mall Gazette and other defendants in
the Armstrong abduction Case was resum-
ed to-day before Justice Lopes at Central
Criminal Court. Mrs Jarrett was again
put i'll the witness box, but she persist
ingly declined to make any further revel-
ations respecting the case. Mrs Juseph-
inc Butler and Professor Stnart testified
for the defendants. Mr.. Stead then took
the witness stand and testified thqt Mrs.
Butler told him that he might implicit
ly trust Mrs Jarrett and he had no rea-
son TO suspect her of abduction on
obtaining the money from him by false
pretences. His testimony was in sub
stance the same as that given in his state
ment.

The opinion is gaining grouni
that the attempt of the powers to set
tie the difficulties between Seryis
and Bulgaria will prove a failure.
The Rev. DR.. William Green, the
venerable Episcopal Bishop of Miss.
issippi, has been forced to cancel
his tall appointments because oi
his feeble health.
After delivering his Grant eulogy
In Boston, Henry Ward Beeeher
was vigorously kissed in public by
several young ladies. It excited
some surprise until it was ascertain
ed that they were his grand>daugh-
tiers.
The NesOs Observer says:
We are glad to learn from the
New Berne Journal that the Attain
tic q North Carolina railroad has
about extingulshed its floating debt
aisa chat sit.is prospecting Ii every,
way. Says the Journal:
Every effort is going to be made
to put the truck through the com-
ing season, without change of cars
to the North and negotiations to
that effect are now pending with
the Atlantic coast line authorities
President Bryan is negotiating with
parties in Baltimore and Philadel-
phia for new steel rails and has be-
gun to look after the coming More
head summer travel. Visitors to-
Morehead during the next season
will travel with as much luxury and
comfort over the Atlantic road as on
any road in the country"
This will be gratifying informa-
ton to everybody. There is really
no better road IN the country than
the A. d. N. c., and wehave always
believed that SO soon as it got upon
its feet it would not only carry
freight and passengers rapidly and
comfortable, but would affoad a |
handsome revenue to its stockhol- |
ders. ''The railroad people are do
ing their best" the Journal says in
conclusion, and we have no doubt
oft. The success they have already |
attained is remarkable and attests
hard work, intelligent work and
conscientious work which the peo~
pie of the State perceive and duly |
appreciate,

! The River road below the iron
bridge, leading to Leicester, was
badly damaged by the rain of last
week. The conclusion reached in
an important suit last week being
thatit was not a public road, some
anxiety was felt as TO Ethe damages
of last week. Proper authorities
were atwork yesterday, and the road
will be in good order by to~day. We
were pleased to hear of this.
A good deal of tobacco in yester-
day, but largely of inferior quality.
Everybody wants money, and there
is no doubt much tobacco is pren4a-

and found good tobacco; but we
hope and expect better qualities in
the future.

Judge Dick, of the Federal Court,
paid us a visit yesterday morning,
The Judge is true blue Republi-
can, but a sincere and a very honest
one, and SO pure in his personal
character, and SO cultivated intel
lectually, that in his case we admit
that "some good can come out of
Nazareth" In effect, Judge Dick
is a gentleman, christian, schol~
ar, and now that he stands with
the sword of Damocles over his
head, we are well content to rever-
ence him as Judge Of the Federal
Court.

D. Glenn.
OF course the court house square
is full of visitors, many of them un-
willing ones, drawn here under
charges of violation of the revenue
laws, all of whom will agree with us
that the whole system ought to be
abolished.
The Rev. Vardree McBee, recent
ly appointed Assistant to the Rec
tor of Trinity church, arrived on
Saturday afternoon. He entered
upon his duties on Sunday morning
and preached in the afternoon. He
has made a fine impression, has. an
excellent voice and manner, and
gives evidence of fine talent and
culture.
The rains which were SO general
and heavy all over the country last
week were less damaging in the
mountains than might have been
expected. The detentions and
Interruptions as compared with
what they were in Virginia were
small, and speedily removed, which
goes to show that after a while the
mountain sections will be perfectly
reliable. Some of the tunnels will
require alterations to insure perma-
nency, and then all will be right.
The continuous arrival of stran-
gers here at this late season is
proof that this point and this sec
tion are not the mere temporary
resort of summer visitors or of
pleasure seekers. There is a CON
tinuous. inflow of substantial gen
tlemen, capitalists, men seeking
investments. They come from all
parts of the country, some to buy
lands, some to engage in merchan-
dise,ss some to establish nlanufac-
tories, but all demonstrating the
great fact that this section is be-
coming known, and is on the eve
of its full development. 1t is Only
the beginning; the end is a long
way off; but the intermediate stages
will be OF great activity and bril-
liancy.
