a NEGRO EXODUS.

RALEIGH. \. c., March 12.-Southern
agents moving negro families to Arkansas
are quietly but successfully at work.
Their operations are confined thus far to
few counties on railroad lines near
Goldsboro. The counties are systematic
ally canvassed. Several Thousand persons
have already gone. Indications point TO
an extensive movement Many large
plantations are almost deserted. Negro
drummers are paid IS for each family
secured. The entire expense OF transpor-
tation to Little Rock is paid by the
agents. The negroes say they are prom
ised forty acres of land, "a brick house, a
COW and sl.5o day for labor, and are told
that corn sells for 70 cents barrel and
meat at one quarter Of 8 cent pound.
They know nothing of their destination.
The removal is by families. Planters in
counties affected are greatly embarrassed
at loss of farm hands at the beginning of
the rlanting season.

THE IRON TRADE.
Its Present Depression and It's Future
Prospects.

PHILADELPHIA, March 12-The follow
ing dispatches regarding the present de-
preston of the iron trade have been re-
ceived here:
Reading-The feeling among the iron
men here is of unusual hopefulness. While
the general voice is to the effect that trade
Is unusually dull and stagnant, there are
none who think that this condition will
last, and all predict a revival with fair
spring and summer trade. The present
depression is usually attributed to a lack
as causeless and will, in the manufac-
turers' opinion, soon pass away, TO
be followed by replenishing OF
the present depleted stocks. There
is a general faith in the present condition
of the country. and no fear anywhere of
anything in the nature of panic or long
continued Stagnation of business.
York, Pa.-John W. Steacy, speaking
for the York rolling mill, York, the Co
lumbia rolling mill, Columbia. and the
Aurora furnace, at Wrightsville, says:
THE prospects for the future are good.
The spring weather opening will give
gCo1 market in the coal and oil regions for
the class OF goods the rolling mills manu-
facture. For the furnace pig iron product
the prospect is good because the stock OF
iron at the furnaces is comparatively
small. The large stock Of southern pig
that was unioaded at the seaboard and
in other points III the east last fall Is near
ly all gone. The Pennsylvania pig always
holds its place, and there will be boom
soon. as il has touched rock bottom"
Columbia, Pa.-The iron interests in and
around Columbia are represented by the
Chestnut Hill Iron Ore company's furnace,
the Cordelia Iron company's furnace. the
Chickies Iron company's furnace, the Grub
& Son furnaces. the Columbia Iron COM
pany's rolling mill and the Columbia Roll
ing mill company With the exception OF
the Chestnut Hill and Cordeiia blast fur
naces, all these industries are in full blast
the universal opinion seems TO be that the
market will show change for the better

GOFFS PETITION DENIED.
The West Virginia Supreme Court sus-
tains Governor Wilson.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, March 2.-Gov-
ernor Wilson will continue TO WELD the
gubernatorial power in West Virginia for
an indefinite time to come so far as Gen.
eral Golf is concerned unless the Repub-
hcan claimant shall take his case to the
federal authorities at Washington.
In the supreme court this morning. be-
fore full bench, an opinion was handed
down denying the petition of General
Golf and refusing the writ of mandamuS
asked by him against Governor Wilson.
The announcement was made at an early
hour that the opinion was ready and when
court was formally opened the portion
of the apartment set apart for
spectators was crowded to its limits. Gov
ernor Wilson and his subordinates, coun-
sci for General Golf and that gentleman
himself were present. The opinion of the
court covers about 5000 words, aud is an
ingenious argument in favor of the con-
stitutionality of the position taken by
Governor Wilson, proving that there is a
vacancy within the meaning of the consti-
tuition and that Governor Wilson is there
fore entitled to hold over until such time
as the legislature, the lawfully constituted
authority, shall determine the matter.
Opinion was delivered by Judge Snyder,
president OF the court, and was read with
great deliberation. 1t was not surprise
10 any oody, DotH republican anu DEMO
Gratis anticipating the action OF the court.
An interesting phase of the situation
and one which is much commented upon
this morning, is that Governor Wilson has
the situation fully under his own control
at present except so far as he may be
bothered by legal proceedings instituted
by President Carr, which, it is thought,
will not amount to much. By failing to
call tbs legislature today Mr.. Wilson will
remain at the helm indefinitely until
action of new legislature and is thus
enabled to thoroughly protect the claims
of Judge Fleming against General Golf.
In other words, if Golf has case Wilson
by refusing to call the legislature can
keep him out two for years to come unless
the federal authorities interfere.
The Carr proceedings will be taken up
at once by the court and when an opinion
will be had is very uncertain.

TORTURED BY ROBBERS.
Residents Of Fayette County, Pennsyl-
yania. Visited BY Lawless Gang.

PITTsBURG, March 12.-McClellantown
a district twelve miles from Unlontown,
Pa, in Fayette county, was terroriZed last
night by party of armed masked robbers
who entered number Of houses and after
torturing the inmates until they gave up
whatever money was in their possession,
ransacked their houses from cellar to gar
ret. The first house entered was that of
a farmer named Anderson. There were
five men in the party and they were heav-
lily armed. They demanded Anderson s
money. and upon protesting that he had
none, they placed hot Goals to his feet and
compelled him to give them $50, all the
money he had. They then went through
the house, but finding nothing of value
rode off.
The next place visited was farmer Lilly's
short distance from Auderson's. The
old man said he had no money and the
desperadoes tied him to the bed and set
fire to it. Lilly begged for mercy and
finally gave the robbers $3.50 which he had
secreted. He was then unbound and the
fire extinguished. A fruitiess search OF
the house for valuables followed, after
which the robbers left and went to the
home of man named Groves. The latter
was put through the same torture but he
had no money and after thoroughly ran
sacking various rooms the party left.
The last place visited was the house of
an old lady named Keller, a widow. The
robbers bound and gagged her and threat
ened all manner of torture until she gave
them a pension check, which they re-
turned. Finding nothing here they rode
off into the mountains fourishing their
weapons.
The gang is believed to be the same
that robbed farmer Core, of Franklin
township, Fayette county, on Saturday
night of $500. The residents of Fayette
county are greatly excited and armed
searching parties will be organized
at once to capture the daring robbers.
