A MARROW ESCAPE.
Full Particulars of the Accident to the
Cars Train.

ST, PETERSBURG, Oct 31.-An official
statement regarding the accident which
happened to the cars train on Monday
has been issued as follows:
1.-The train containing the car and car
ina and suite left Taranvoka at noon on
Monday. While passing through a deep
gorge near Bakru the train left the rails.
At the time of the accident the car and
czarina were in the saloon carriage at
breakfast. When the first carriage left
the track the rest of the train oscillated
and the succeeding carriage keeled over.
The saloon carriage, though remaining on
the track, was badly shaken up and shat
tered. The roof fell in, but rested a por-
ton on the side, thus forming shield for
the occupants 1t seems incredible that
with SUCH havoc any OF the occupants OF
the train should have escaped unhurt, but
God protected the car and his family who
were taken from the debris uninjured.
Some of the other occupants of the train
received slight contusions. The only per-
son severely injured was Gen. Scher-
matehff, an aide-de-camp of the car"
The Grashdaien states that the train
was drawn by two engines and consisted
OF several carriages besides the saloon car
riage. The latter was OF massive construc-
ton. The train was running at the rate
of sixty-five versts an hour. When the
engine left the track it ploughed up the
road bed and imbedded itself in the earth.
The second ran on top of the first and was
wrecked. The first and second carriages
were also wrecked. They were occupied
by court servants and railway officials
among whom Baron Jernval. chief inspec-
tor of railways. was badly injured. Gen
erals Vannovski and Tichervin, who were
in the saloon carriage with the imperial
family, received Commissions. The car
and czarina remained at the scene for
some time, giving attention to the injured
Towards evening they returned to Zozo-
woje, the last station they had left.
Religious services have been held
throughout the empire. giving thanks for
the escape of the imperial family.

ency.
The fac-simile of the Times letter was
again handed TO witness and he said that
he was decidedly of the opinion that it was
Mr.. ParnelFs writing. He had never dis
cussed the question as TO how the Times
became possessed of it, because he did not
know. When he first saw the letter In
the Times he did not think it was genuine.
This was not because of any peculiar
ity in the writing. bat because he
could not understand why Mr.. Parnell
should say. you may show him this, but
do not tell him my address"
Witness said he never had any doubt
about the signature. He had numer-
Gus letters from MIR. Parnell Of about the
same date as the letter referred to and
could not mistake the writing.
Under cross-examination by Mr.. Healy
witness said that when he contested Gal
way for parliament the Parnellites at
tackled and denounced him in every way
in their power
The court then adjourned until tomor-
row

and discuss the different methods of
agriculture and begin at once to raise
what they consume, on their own
farms, and not depend on the Western
States for their bacon and flour, and
Louisiana, Cuba and the Bahama
islands for their molasses and sugar,
Tennessee, Kentucky and Illinois for
their stock, when all this can be raised
right here in our own State, and that
as cheap, too, as anywhere else. Let
them send representatives to the
Legislative halls-representatives in
the fullest sense of the word-men
who will work fearlessly and perse-
veringly for the interest of their con-
stituents, have law enacted making
it punishable by heavy fine to plant
more than ten acres of cotton to the
horse. This would necessitate the
planting Of more corn and small
grain; consequently our cotton would
command better price. f - -Esa
We should endenvor to encourage
manufacturers to come among us. The
natural facilities for manufactures in
North Carolina are unsurpassed by
any State in the Union. Establish a
line of steamers as Georgia has to
Great Britain and ship our cotton
direct to the leading cotton market
of the world This is the only way
the farmers of the State and South
land can ever hope to extricate them
selves from the overwhelming troubles
they now suffer and find themselves
again as in ante bellum days smiling,
happy, independent class.

THE NO FENCE LAW.

BROADWAY, July 4, '8S.
Mr.. EDIToR:-Please allow me space
in your columns to say few wordsin
regard to the no fence law The man
[ wish to speak to signs his name
Brother Farmer" He seems to think
that it takes more corn to feed hogs to
hunt acorns than it takes to fatten
them, but it is not so in this cnunty.
We can raise hogs here that will
weigh from two to five hundred
pounds, in the woods. At that, I am
opposed to the no fence law, and I
simply write this to let Moss Neck
know that there is more than one
farmer on his side of the fence, and to
let brother farmer know that it will
take something more than spoon to
put dirt in my eyes to make me see
that the no fence is the BEST I think
that we have some as good farmers in
Moore county as there is in the State,
and yet l don't believe they want to
change their way of farming while
they can make bread and meat and
money to spend. l live close to where
they have the no fence law, and they
are getting enough Of it. The COWS
perish to death, tied to steak in sight
of grass. Fraternally,

the amount if necessary. am GER
tain that every member of our Lodge
will subscribe, and I do trust that
every one in North Carolina may do
likewise, so that the Business Agency
can be established at once I will
urgently and respectfully ask the
brethren all over the State to manfully
lay hold of the work with that vim
which is certain to carry us to success
with the worthy leaders that we have.
Then we can begin to come out from

heaped upon us.

CABARRUS CROPS.

CLEAR CREEK, N. c., July 8, 'ss.
Col. L. L. PoLK.-Dear Sir Had
l written you week ago the report
had been rather gloomy, but a very
fine rain has changed the whole face
of things. The season is little late
but now the prospect for both corn
and cotton is better than usual at this
season, because the very favorable sea-
son for work has favored the farmers
SO that when rain came the ground
was in fine condition for receiving it
and it seems that every drop has been
appropriated. Oats are good; wheat
has been much injured by rust and in
some instances by the chinch bug;
corn, too, is being attacked in some
fields. Farmers, generally, are of good
courage. Our people are hopeful in
regard to the Charlotte and Albemarl
Railroad which is to pass near us. Our
Alliance is growing in numbers and
interest. Have many things to write
you but they may wait till I get my
hand in.

APEX ON THE FOURTH.

EDITOR FARMER:-Our quiet little
town had one of the most pleasant 4th
Of July celebrations ever held in any
small town. Among the four or five
hundred present, we never heard of a
contention; everybody was peaceable
and seemed to spend the day, filed
with bliss. We were honored with
an able address by our much beloved
friend, N. B. Broughton, which was a
most excellent discourse on our inde-
pendence, progress of the age, needs
of education and some of the future
interests of our people to which it
would be well to look.
We were next honored by short
and very pointed address by our old
friend and townsman and much be-
loved brother, A. G. Green, of St.
Matthews township, which was full Of
good sound sense, setting forth that
we were not as we are often accused,
a political organization, but an organ
ization of white men, the intention of
which is to better our financial con-
dition and do it with the white men
of this country, and to do it without
taking the political rings of to-day to
do it with. A. G. Green is a very
worthy brother, and one which we
would heartily endorse and ask old
St. Matthews township for as one of
our next representatives to the Legis-
lature. He is an honest, straightfor-
ward old farmer, will work for the
laboring class of people to the utmost
end, has the best of tact for detecting
rings, &C., the very person we need.
We next had most thrilling ad-
dress by Hon. B. II. Bum, which
needs not our comment, as all will
see when he addresses them. We
would say this: he leaves good i'm
preston on the minds of his fellow
citizens at this place.
Our speaking was concluded by a
very able address from R. Fl. Battle,
ESQ, of Raleigh, N. c., which was
very instructive.
All of the proceedings did honor to
the Farmers Alliance, which bids fair
to be the grapdest move the farmers
of this country have ever made, and
which ere long will show to the people
of this country to be the strongest and
most Independent and powerful body
of our country, which they always
have been, but never united hereto
fore.
J Old Apex Alliance was one among
the first in the State to organize, and
for long time had to drag along on
account Of antagonizers, butshe pushed
shoulder to shoulder and reached the
level deep water, and now she floats

helm, among which are some OF the
