CHICAGO, October 26.-All negotiations
have again been stopped between the coal
diggers and Mr.. W. L. Scott, proprietor of
the mines here. At meeting this after
noon the workmen decided to stand out
altogether against the contract system.
The signing of contracts is the only point
at issue, but the probability of settlement
now appears remote.

THE NEW JERSEY AS Al RAM.
She Crushes in the Side of the Cable
Barge AXorristown.

She Crnshes in the Side of the Cable
Barge Morristown.
The ferryboat New Jersey, of the
CortIandt street route, on her ten min.
utes past nine trip last night, collided
with the cable barge Morristown. which
was being towed up the river on her way
to Weehawken.
The New Jersey had just left her slip
on the New York side, but was under
good Roadway, when the barge crossed
her bows. f64&
The barge was crushed in like an egg
shell. below her water-line The water
rushed in, and she began Immediately to
sink, with three men and one woman
aboard.
The excitement among the ferryboat's
passengers was intense. and for some mo-
ments a veritable panic ensued. AS soon
as the crash occurred, men sprang to their
feet and rushed for the open deck, while
terror-stricken women shrieked and cluna
to the arms of their escorts if they had
any.
Alife-boat was lowered from the docks
of the New Jersey, and the four occupants
of the barge were rescued and landed al
the ferry-house. The ferryboat was moi
seriously damaged.

A Raiiroader Says the Presidential La
dies Give No End of Trouble.
tThese Harrison women give me pains
every time they go through here, . said a
Disguised employe at the Pennsylvania
station the other day as 4 train rolled
away bearing n female relative of the
occupants of the White House. When
the emotions which this reflection gave
rise TO had subsidized the railroad man
continueu:-
whenever Mrs. Cleveland passed
through from New York she used to get
out of her carriage in the ferry house,
walk the length of the waiting room,
hand out her ticket with charming
smile to be punched, go out and get on
the train without any fuss, just like any
ordinary passenger.
But now, when any of those Harrison
women are going through we hear from
them the day before. They always want
a private car and want it run into the
depot where they can drive up to it and
step aboard from their carriage.
Then they raise great fuss about the
quaiity,of the cai, and the position it oc-
cuLies in the train Ii it is on the end
they want the middle, where they declare
there is less motion.
II we should happen to have it in the
middle, then they want it on the end
where they can see the scenery / tell
you they want more fuss and attention
than they show Queen Victoria when. she
goes travelling Pshaw. they make me
tired" ~
And the irate railroader could trust
himself TO. speak no further, but gave
vent to his feelings by trying to kick q
segment out of the asphalt pavement of
the platform.

Principal Charles Haskel. of No IA
School, CONFORMS with the law in the
government OF his pupils, He has been
two years in this city, and IN that time
has never struck a scholar. The teachers
OF No. IA are also made to live up to the
statute in the matter of school govern
ment
This is not always the most successful
way of bringing children up. said Mr.
Haskell. Some Of them do not appreei-
ate kindness or indulgence, and make
matters interesting for their teachers
when the humors take them.
{ Mr.. HAskel believes that the law gov
erning such cases should be repealed in a
measure that would authorize the adj
ministration of corporal punishment in
cases OF extreme provocation.
WHIPPING TWENTY FOUR HOURS AFTER.
In Ohio corporil punishment is per-
mitted, but not until twenty-four hours
have elapsed after the commission of the
offence. The teachers anger has then
sufficient time to cool down, and IL at the
end of that time the scholar is still de-
serving of chastisement it administered
in doses to suit the offence"
Principal Joslin, of No. IL, does not
punish pupils and has not done so for the
past thirteen years, though it is neces-
sary in some cases. Parents visit the
school at times and request the teachers
to punish their children, but they are al
ways told of the law prohibiting such q
course. Refractory children are sent
home. to return only with their parents
or parent. The case is then laid before
them and chastisement advised when
necessary
Miss Van Wrinkle, primary principal of
No. ~, says that no corporal punishment
is administered in her department. Her
scholars are invariably web behaved, but
of course there are black sheep in her
flock as in all others. The parents of
these are notified and their correction left
to them. Some provlso might be made by
which misbehaying pupils might be cor
rected.
He SPARES THE ROD.
Principal Kirby. of No Is in Lafayette,
spares the rod, but does not spoil the
child. Parents of nnruly scholars are
kept informed of their children's progress
in department.. and where no progress is
made an angry parent and the sole of a
slipper lend assistance to help the boy
along.
'Some children are over-punished at
home and are frightened into obedience
at school. This does not assist towards
their enlightenment, and lessons are
learned by them much as parrot acquires
knowledge.
: Something might be done by which
the teachers or principal of a school could
enforce the rules of the institution"

Tobacco Crop Prospects.

The Cincinnati Western Tobacco
Journal which has a well-equipped
corps of correspondents in this State
and Virginia, says:
From Virginia and North Carolina
reports continue to come of discour-
aging. character relative to the con-
dition of the growing crop, and it is
not to be doubted in the face of such
continued and general complaints,
but that the crop has been very seri-
ously injured by the excessive rains,
which have been even more prolonged
and more destructive than in the
West. And it is generally conceded
that the crop, while it may present
some good color if the weather from
now on should be dry, will show a
generally thin, papery leaf, with little
or no gum, which the rains have
washed out, and such leaf as that
never makes good wrapper or cutter
in either bright or mahogany, and in
the heavier export types it renders
them very poor The acreage has
been considerably reduced by wash
ings of heavy rains and flooding on
lowlands, and some predict a half
crop will be as much as, can be ex-
pected. Western North Carolina
seems the exception to the rule, as
the reports from there are good, the
rains not having been as excessive as
in other parts, and in the whole State
prospects are something better than
in Virginia. In East Tennessee coun-
ties, which grow bright tobacco, it
seems that the prospects are also bad
and discouraging.

That New Hotel.

MIR. EDITOR:-s an YOU or anyone
else tell when the work will commence
on that SO, 100000 hotel, or has it
had ease of yellow jaundice and
died and had its interment?
Now if something better can't be
done than has been done, let the
ma 6ter rest until /; new generation
can spring up to take hold of it. |
have been reliably informed that
new hotel was spoken of almost a
generation ago and we have no new
hotel vet. Now | ask the thinking
men of this Twin-City how much
harm have the crOakers done these
towns by running them down on ac-
count of their hotel facilities and the
way the hotels are now kept? They
know no more about runninga hotel
than | do Il tobacco factory. Now |
claim the Twin-City has been badly
damaged by some of her own people
always crOaking, at home and abroad
because the present hotel was not run
to suit them. My advice to these
croackers is this: If YOU can't speak
good word for your town or neigh
Dor, bride your tongue.
There is nothing that tends to
build up IL town SO much Orspeaks so
well for it as good hotelfacilities. No
one enterprise will do your town more
good, and when you decide to build
hotel here have as few stockholders
us possible. My reason is this: There
will be some crOakerS, however few
the number of stockholders. but if
you have 100 or $50 stockholders
you get Il majority. if not all the
croakers YOU have here, consequently
somebody would be in hot water all
the time And here is one advantage
to the party running the hotel in hav
ing few stockholders: If you have a
large number there is strong prob
ability that they will have a meeting
and force the proprietor to board
them at 81 LOO per month. Then if
the proprietor kicks he will have all
the stockholders, their uncles, their
aunts, their cousins and their cousins
cousins abusing him and the hotel.
Whereas, if you have but few stock
holders the proprietor may be able to
stand it.
4 suggestion to those who contem-
plate putting their money into n ho-
tel: Stand up for the hotel and the
proprietor and don't go off and keep
bachelors hall because everything
isn't exactly to suit you. When you
send your wives to spend a month at
the springs go to your hotel and
board while they are away.
Patronize your hotel and do all
you can for it, and encourage your
friends and neighbors to do SO and
don t go around and board at some
common restaurant or hole in the
ground because the hotel proprietor
dOesn give you your board.
Build your hotel or stop talking
about the one already here.
When read u letter l want to know
who wrote it, therefore will sign my
name for fear some innocent party
might be cursed. w. r. VICKERs.

True Loves Uneven Course

The story goes that Il certain SOcl-
ETY. Young man of Winston noted for
his handsome bearing and winning
voice, accompanied Il young lady to
her home and, as all true lovers do,
fingered vet little while ut the gate
to have Il lovers tete-a-tete with his
fair companion The night was beau
tiful. no one was near to lntrude and
above all he loved her. Why should
not she kiss him? With true maiden
" modesty she refused. HeimplOred.
She still withheld from him that
which fills his cup of happiness. The
request was repeated several times
and so engrossed did the young man
become i'll wooing. he failed to notice
the approach of the parental step.
The old gentleman had been there
himself and did not care to intrude
upon the happiness of the young coup
lie; quietly stepping behind IL convent
ent rose bush, waited. thinking the
young man would soon leave. In this
he was mistaken The lover tarried
over the request, until the patience of
the old gentleman was exhausted. A
voice the couple well knew aroused
them from their happiness, in Il tone
of impatient anger, by saying:
Daughter kiss that d-n fool and
let him go home!' 1t is reported
that the young man only hit the
ground in high places in his endeavor
to comply with the old gentleman's
command.

RADICAL CAMPAIGN MONEY.
Mr. thomas Settle Did Not Handle ANY
Doodle

Mr. Thomas Settle was in Winston
last week and THE SENTINEL took oc-
casion to interview him in reference
to the following paragraph which was
first sent to the New York Herald by
its Washington correspondent and
which has since been copied by nearly
all the leading dailes
The discomfort of the North Caro-
lima Republicans with the way pat
rOnage has been handled is leading to
some interesting disclosures regard
ing the campaign there last autumn.
Senator Quay claims that eput into
the hands of his private secretary,
Mr.. Frank Leach, $4,000 to save
the North State for Harrison and
Morton. His secretary and one of
his sons went down there, ami the
former says that he gave SO 900 to
Mr.. Estes for use in the district of
Chea than. the negro; $1,000 to
Judge Settles son to elect Mr. Brow
er, and $4,000 for use in Congress
man Ewart's district The other
SO 900 was in use in other districts
in the State, according to the claim
of Senator Quay and his secretary.
The curious thing about the matter
is that nobody can discover how the
81. 900 in each of the Republican dis
tricts was expended, if it was eXpend-
Ell at all. The Quay faction have
been intimating pretty broadly that
Estes put the money i'll his pocket,
!! and as Estes was II division superin-
tcndent in the railway mail service
| they induced their good friend Post
master-General Wanamaker to turn
him out
In his talk with THE SENTINEL, Mr..
Settle said: If any money was sent to
North Carolina during the last cam
paign | do not know it. have never
even winked ut the expenditure of
money except for the legitimate cam
paign purposes. The statement that
| received any money is absolutely
false. didn't receive cent and |
spent nothing in the campaign except
my own money and spent that only
for travelling expenses and horse hire.
| have never cOuntenanced the eX-
penditnrc of money for the purpose
of influencing votes and never will.
THE SENTINEL believes what Mr.
Settle says We regard him as
high-minded. honorable gentleman.
The fling made at him in the para
graph quoted is made for n base pur-
pose bya radical politician of Green's
boro, who once pocketed about S15,-
900 Of campaign funds and who
seeks to besmirch Mr. Settles fair
name for personal reasons. This
politician is at present in Washing
ton and while there succeeded in i'm
posing his lie on the Heralds CORE
spondent
THE SENTINEL is satisfied that Mr..
Settle has been lied about and we are
glad to put him in the right light be-
fore the people.

The Bath-Tub the Safe Place.


The New York Herald has made an
other discovery After studying
cloud-bursts for some time. it has
turned its scientific lens to thunder
storms. The fatal lightning stroke
is SO frequent this season that per-
sons much exposed to thunder storms
should take all known precautions
against it
Ordinarily. persons exposed to IL
thunder storm fly to the nearest shell
ter to escape wetting. The Herald
shows If Il man is thoroughly wet it
is impossible for lightning to kill
him. 1t refers to Il remarkable
proof of this fact The great scien-
titic lecturer. Faraday. once demon
strated to his audience at the royal
institution, that with all the power
full electrical apparatus at his dis
pOsal 1t was impossible for him to kill
IL rat whose coat had been saturated
with water. 1t would be well, there
fore, for any person in severe thun-
der storm and liable to ii lightning
stroke to allow himself to be drenched
with rain at the earliest moment
possible, and in the absense of sutfi-
cient rainfall to avail himself of any
other means at hand to wet his outer
apparel.
The bath tub is the proper refuge
from the thunderbolt.
