A JOE LOT OF FRAUDS.

Now that the Fertilizer case Is at last
on and the editor of THE GLOBE is held
in Oxford by a lob lot of frauds, headed
by Commissioner Robinson, to tell what
he knows of the violation of the law by
the Durham concern, it may be interest
ing to some people, those who have fol-
lowed the case and expect something to
come out of it, to know exactly what The
GLOBE did say and what particular
charges it has made.
To refresh the memories of those thus
interested we copy from THE GLOBE of
of June 1st a fac smile Of the item just
as it appeared in the paper of that date
and the correctness of which MEssRs.
MORGAN and CARR confessed in this Of
flee; and not only MORGAN and CARR,
but Mr. THOMPSON, who works in the Of
flee also called to explain and further
complicate matters.
And later still CAPT. LEwTER, agent
at the r. e D. depot, was brought in to
excuse the oversight of placing tagged
bags on the outside and untagged on the
inside of the car.
But all to no purpose.
The facts remained the same and could
not be denied.
The Durham Fertilizer company stood
convicted of violating the law and their
efforts to condone the fraud by insisting
that it was their common practice only
sunk them deeper into the mire.
This is what appeared in THE DAILY
GLOBE under date of June |:
The Durham daily globe. (Durham, N.C.) 1889-1894, 1891-12-05

and what the people want to know is,
why COMMISSIONER ROBINSON, who has
proved himself the biggest fraud of the
whole fraudulent outfit, should let such
charges as the above, when competent
witnesses were ready to testify and
| where the evidence was such as to insure
conviction, pass unnoticed, and after five
weeks of Observation-Disclosures a
great deal and doing nothing, he should
| all of q sudden, in a great spasm of con-
scientiousness in the discharge Of his
long neglected duty, come out with a
great noise and flourish, with a beating
of pans and blowing of trumpets, and
raise a great hue and cry over a compar-
lively small matter down at Oxford,
where it was doubtful whether the evi.
dence was sufficient to convict and where
the trial must of necessity be a farce and
a mOckerY.
COMMISSIONER ROBINSON has further
shown his fidelity to the state and deter
mination to protect the states interests
by causing witnesses to be s%ubpGnaed a
week in advance of the day fixed for the
case and never notifying them Of its
p~OstpOnement.
The editor of THE GLOBE, had he had
nothing better with which to occupy his
time, might have been in Oxford since
Monday at the states expense.
And so might all the other witnesses.
Throughout the proceedings CoMMIs-
sIoNER ROBINSON has proven him a weak
and incompetent old imbecile.
Without charging anything THE
GLOBE only expresses the sentiment of
the people in saying that the thing looks
ugly for the commissioner. If he is not
pulling both ends of the string, he owes
it to himself and the people he processes
to represent, to explain his conduct.

TO THE EDIToR :.-To-day Inspector
Terrell of the agricultural department
seized at this place two car loads cal
lance Official Guano,' on o of the
tax not being paid. This guano is made
by the Durham Fertilizer company for
the alliance and is lNaded by manufac-
turers from factory to car. The first car
of 27O bags W hen received here was ex-
amined by railroad agent and seemed to
be all right. All the bags in sight were
tagged but as soon as the front bags were
removed all in the rear end of the car
were found without the necessary tax
tags. Just after the first seizure a second
car came, which when first examined,
seemed all right but when moved there
were found - bags that were not tagged.
The people are justly indignant that the
Durham Fertilizer company should try
to evade the payment of the % cent per
ton tax.

The southern imposition of which
JOHN 7. PATRICK was the founder, has
passed into that roseate realm of inOcu-

honest people generally hope will know

The accumulated fraud which exacted
so cents from each individual sight-seer
is no more.
1t was never much of anything else.
Without boasting supernatural powers
THE GLOBE was the first paper to broad

To add to its glory The GLOBE was the
first paper to prove that the alleged inter-
state exposition was fraudulent.
THE GLOBE was the first paper to in
sist that PATRICK's methods were the
methods of the mOuntebank-and when
he insisted that the editors who adver-
tised his alleged show should put their
pictures on the tickets they received,
thus admitting that they were thieves,
the implied proposition that they were
became an absolute demonstration that a
fakir was at large.
PATRICK, Chiffon & Co., have closed
their Imposition, and the people should
be thankful.
In all the catalogue of wrongs and
misrepresentation there never has been
one which so grossly misrepresented the
southern states as the so-called expo
sition which these highwaymen con-

Co., will finally attempt to earn an honest

The Fertilizer Fraud.
TSaliSburV Herald,

The case of the Durham Fertilizer
fraud, so much of which has been said
during the past summer, comes up in the
Granville county court at Oxford to-day.
The editor of THE DURHAM GLOBE who
has been foremost in exposing the fraud
has been asked officially to appear before
the court to tell what he knows of the
violation of the law.
The Durham Fertilizer company is
distinctly an alliance establishment and
the parties defrauded are the farmers
and members Of their organization and
we trust with the rascality (Which THE
GLOBE alleges) exposed the alliance
people may have their eyes opened. 1t
is an outrage on society that the far
mers are so unwittingly defrauded and
what is still a greater wonder, many Of
them cling on with desperation to these
willy fellows who are sapping them of
the first fruits of the land.

From the pit, the gun with its jacket,
now adhering more closely than a poor re-
lation, is carried TO the turning lathe and
its outer surface turned and polished. Then
comes the adjus meut of the hoops, which
are shrunk on in much the same way as the
jacket, but being lighter they are put on
with lighter machinery. When all is fin
ished the big gun is subjected to final turn
ing OF its outer surface. The machinery
which does this is massive; it moves slowly,
but every bit and cutting utensil that is
brought to bear on the guns surface
works with mathematical accuracy
The whole massive surface Is
turned with precision that is marvellous.
The little bit that does its work cuts no
wider than a sixteenth Of an inch or deeper
than thirty .secordth of an inch, but the
big gun revolves into its bite. kand tie re-
suit is a little coil of steel that is
stretched out indefinitely like an elderly
maiden lady's curl. When that process is
finished the outer surface of the gun
is as smooth as a baby's skin. The bore of
the gun has already been polished
like glass. The next important thing Is
the rltiing. Fifty-two spiral grooves have
TO be cut into the bore of a 12-inch gun.
The great crane comes and takes the gun TO
the riiing cylinder. The machinery OF this
Is too complicated to describe, but its mech
anism is faultless. It Is the most tedious
process of all that enters into the manufact-
ure OF the gun. Then comes the cutting
and boring for the breech mechanism. A
separate and distinct machine does this
Altogether it will be seen that the making
OF one of the big guns requires the highest
science and skill
The ordnance department has already
turned out 1873 6-inch rife guns and are
well along with so S-inch. Twenty-Five
lO-inch are either completed or partially
completed The 10>inch gun is almost as
effective as the l2-inoh. These are the guns
which are to arm the monitors Miantono-
NAH, Amphitrite, Manodnock, Terror, the
Maine, and partially arm the Monterey.
Eight l2-inch guns are to be made-four to
arm the Puritan, two for the Texas, and
two for the Monterey. Twelve Of the
Dig l3-inch guns are to be made
four each for the three battleships
now building. The 1S-inch guns have not
been begun, though the contract for the
forgings is let. Commodore Folger says
that all these great guns are being built at
the cost of about 50 cents pound. This
will make the l3-inch guns cost about S70,-
900 each, and the 12~inch guns about $50
900 each. The commodore thinks he can
build l6-tnch gun for 40 cents a pound,
which would make such gun cost little
less than 100000. He thinks, however,
that the navy will build no larger guns
than the ID inch, for the reason that the
great 100-ton guns of European navies are
practically failures. r. d. BO0ART

TWO NAVY YARDS.

There are two navy yards near New
York, one known and one unknown to
fame. In both, gigantic hulks lie at anchor
or aground; in both the changing of ham
mers on iron is heard aad workmen hurry
to and fro with tools and timber. Here the
parallel ceases, for in the one case the work
is of construction, in the other of destruction
In one navy yard long, low vessels of
sturdy appearance lie deep in the water
and rakisn torpedo boats now and then
come to anchor to be gazed at by passengers
on the ferryboats that ply on the East
river. In the other lie the useless hulls Of
vessels Of which the country was once
proud, now the spoil Of the junkmen.
Port Washington, on Manbasset bay, is
the scene Of the melancholy dismember-
ment Of many Of the condemned vessels Of
the fleets which are sold at auction for old
wood and iron. Here where land is cheap
and labor plenty the old battered wrecks
are towed and slowly disappear into
heaps Of rubbishy looking materials Sell
dom are there less than four or five war;
ships and merchant vessels at the yard at
once in various stages of dismemberment,
and a rarely interesting place it is for the
country lads to come of Sunday mornings
to gossip about the old days when admlrals
trod those sagging decks and the smoke Of
booming guns blew about them.

FROM GREENLAND TO NICARAGUA.

John r. Spears is lucky man. Probably
nearly every writer in Newspaper row has
rather envied him his experience Of ship
wreck on the Snorer Reef, unaccompanied
by danger, cold or starvation. and with a
prospect Of unlimited columns of space for
fine descriptive writing up the story Of the
wreck.
Mr.. Spears is a slender young man of
medium hight and a thorough good fellow.
He was in Greenland last summer and has
written many breezy articles about that
queer PARKWAY land. His appearance sug-
gests that his health may impel him to take

politics and to his profession in Amos j.
Cummings MIR. Cummings Ia a middle
aged man, with a full, well-shaped head,
kindly eyes and a drooping mustache. Mr.
Cummings is one of the very few we'll
known newspaper men who can write an
article. Bet it in type and put it in the form
properly. He served his apprenticeship at
the case in the old days, and it proved as
good as a college to him. He was one Of the
first to make his mark by the most straight
forward and unpretentious style Of writing
He was the first editor of the EUening Sun,

due to his quick Judgment and tireless In
dustry. When such a man goes to congress
the eternal fitness of things Is verified.

THE SPEED OF INSECTS.
Flies VIII Soon Come on the Scene at
600 Strokes Per Eecond.
From the Ne,o York Ledger.

Flies Will Soon Come on the Scene at
600 Strokes Per eecond.
From the Net0 York Ledger.
There are many insects which one would
little suspect to be furnished with apparatus
suited to swift and more or less continuous
flight. House flies frequent the inside of
our windows, buzziDg sluggishly in and on
OF the room.
But what different creatures are they
when they accompany your horse on a hot
summerss day. A swarm of these little
pests keep pertnaciously on wing about
the horses ears; quicken the pace up to
ten or twelve miles an hour, still they are
there; let a gust of wind arise and carry
them backward and behind, the breeze
shaving dropped, their speed is redoubled
and they return TO their post of annoyance,
to the poor horse, even when urged to its
fastest pace.
But this example gives only partial
proof of the fy's power Of flight as the fol-
lowing will show:
The writer was travelling one day in au-
tumn by rail at about twenty-five miles an
hour when company Of flies put in an ap-
pearance at the car window. They never
settled, but easily kept pace with the train :;
so much 30, indeed, that their flight seemed
to be almost mechanical, and q thought
struck the writer that they had probably
been drawn into sort of vortex, whereby
they were carried onward with but little
exertion on the part of themselves. But
this notion was soon disproved. They
sailed forth at right angles from the train
flew to a dis ance Of thirty or forty feet.
still keeping pace, and then returned with
increased speed and buoyancy to the win
dow
To account for this look at the wings Of a
fly. Each is composed of an upper and
lower membrane. which, though delicate,
are strong aud supported by a stout frame
work of interlacing nervures
These are used with great quickness, and
probably 600 strokes are made per second.
This would carry the fly about twenty-five
feet, but a seven-fold velocity can easily be
attained. making IT'S feet per second, so
that under certain circumstances it can out
strip racehorse.
If a small insect like fly can outstrip
race horse, an insect as large as a horse
would travel very much faster than a can
