AS SEEN BY A WINSTON MAN.
The Preparations Being Mad. for
the Worlds Fair-ChicagO as tits,
CHICAGO, Oct. &c, 1891.

CHICAGO, Oct. &c, 1891.
EDITOR SENTINEL: - It occur-
red to me that YOU might b. in
terested in what 1 have had oeca-
sion to see and hear of the ", ,rld's
Fair. 1t is too extensive an inter-
prise for one accustomed to small
doings to comprehend. 1t is war
rantee of hearty welcome III the
Offices of the Worlds Fair tc an
nounce that you are from North
Carolina. Ours is the only )utl,-
ern State south of West Virginia
and Mosouri, which so far has .oade
an appropriation. But all the 9th
ers will follow our example, and
every nation on earth, it is beliyed,
will be represented.
The location is Jackson Park, six
miles south Of the City Hall on
Lake Michigan. All Of the g.reat
buildings have been contracted for
and work is progressing by night
and day. The Worlds Fair Co npa-
ny will prepare and layout the
grounds and erect about twenty of
the great. buildings at cost of
about $14,000,O00. One bui ding
alone covers 80 acres, and tn. 90
buildings cover 150 acres. It il, be-
lieved that the States and foreign
governments will erect about 7G ex-
tensive buildings in addition to the
above, showing every kind of acchi-
lecture known to the modern world.
The way this great pageant is t. be
paid for seems to be figured oct as
follows: Stock in the Worlds Fair
Company has been subscribed to
amount of $5,000,00O; Chicago has
given its bonds for $5,000,OOO; con
cessions, privileges. etc., So. 800 coo;
estimated gate receipts, $40, ,00G.G GOO.
BY pledging gate receipts to obtain
a loan from Uncle Sam Of $5, ,O0o, ,00O
it is estimated that the private,
State and foreign nation, exhibits
which will take care of themselves,
Will swell the cost of this shoy TO
$50, 900, 900, while insurance will be
carried upon the values there
amassed for $500, 100000. But IT IS
not necessary to wait till '93 to see a
show at Chicago, unless red iced
rates is the idea.
What has been done here in the
past twenty years is positive evidence
that the second American city will
be her first ere another census. Her
massive buildings reaching twenty
stories, her water works extending
by tunnel to tue interior Of Lake
Michigan, and forcing Chicago Riv
er to flow backward upon itsels and
empty its sluggish current into the
Mississippi are likely to strik, u
man from the country. to say roth
ing of Libby Prison ar:. the hears
and bulls in Union Stock Yard.

The Gang that H as Been Burning tue
Cenlrars Bridges and Trestles
Captured.

In the last few days number of
trestles' on the Central and Georgia,a "a
division of the Richmond and Dan
vile, have been burned. The de-
struction of trestles was SO extern
sive that for time no trains could
be run on the road. Superintend-
ent Bunch McBee set to work and
very soon succeeded in effecting the
capture of the incendiaries, who
proved to be relatives of the three
men recently arrested and jailed on
charge of rcbbing the Central's ex-
press cars. They were foolish
enough to write letter to the rail-
road authorities telling of their in
tention to burn the property of the
road in case the express robbers
were not released from Jail, and
taking this letter as clew, superin-
tendent McBee and his assistants
succeeded in running down and cap
turing the gang, but not until after
they had burned seven of the Cen
trails trestles and bridges. 1t as
thought the burning of the depot at
Macon, reported in yesterdays News,
was the work of the robber gang,
but it now appears that that fire was
dental.-Charlotte News.

TWENTY LIVES LOST.

sisslppi Steamer.

fhe ieaqurae's special from MILL
kel's { nd. n iss:
at lest twenty lives were lost by
the bu ing O, the fine steamer Oliver
B,-irne 1t this place yesterday.
The ;-assengers' and crew lost every
thing icy hal III the way ofclothing
and 5us gage, many leaving the burn
ing boa in their night clothes and
bare feet. There were quite a number
of narrow escapes.
Additional details are given in
sp cial from Wick burg, which says:
~ lie Oliver Beirae laid up at Milli-
ke:.s Bend Ian ding at II O'Clock last
night. She had a large number ofca bin
passengers and something over 200
de,-kie>, white men, who were enroute
to various levee works below Vicks-
burg. OF the deckies the steamer
took on 90 at Greenville."
The mate had some trouble with
the rousters, many of them quitting
work, after which he hired the levee
men, paying them 25 cents per hour.
This enra ged the cOlOred hands, who
made open threats against the mate
and the boat. AT $3.50 this morning
the cotton in the deck-room was dis
covered to be On fire and the boat
was mass of flames in q short time.
Every effort was made to save the
lives of those on board. The yawl
was lowered to pick up all who could
be reached in the river. twas about
the only hope OF saving the many
who were compelled to jump. The
yawl was in charge of the first engin-
eer.
The steamer had 7OS bales ofcotton
on board and was laying at theland-
ing where she burned waiting for day
light to cross bar near there. The
passengers and crew who were saved
where shown every kindness by the
citizens of Milliken's Bend, who threw
open tLeir doors to receive them.

One Wife Toe Many.

BALTIMORE, October 31.-In 1876
Paul Buchwalt abandoned his wife
and children in this city and reap
peared here a little while ago III a
house where his first wife was visit
ing.
Buchwalt expressed a desire to see
his children and she gratified his
wish by taking him to their varicus
homes. A long talk followed, I. during
which he told his family he had lived
in Philadelphia since he last SAW
them-fifteen years ago. He gave
no reason for his sudden dis, p.
pearance. This, together with a Dat
ural desire by the children to learn
more of their ia ther, caused inquiries
into his doings in the Quaker City.
From his own mouth they learned
that he was ma FRIED aud had wife
and five children living at No. 1898
Woodstock street Philadelphia.
On Sunday last his two sons, H'n-
ry and Philip, who res de in this G Y,
paid him "a visit in Phiiadelpl IL.

Our Chilian War Cloud.

The sailing of the cruiser Boston to
Chill to back up the demand ofMinis-
ter Egan for Immediate explana-
tion" and Preparation" for the inju-
ries recently inflicted upon certain of
the crew of the Baltimore, when
ashore at Valparaiso, indicates the
serious view the administration takes
of the street row of October 16, now
that various important elections are
pending and the popular heart needs
to be fired. Explanation and repara-
tion of the usual kind should no
doubt be had. The killing of two
men of a war-ship ofthe United States
and the wounding of many more,
when ashore in a country with which
we are at peace, are incidents to
which our government could not be
Indifferent.

A Romantic Marriage.

A romantic marriage in which
Lexington people figured, says the
Dispatch, took place in Salisbury
this week.
The contracting parties were Mr..
VIM. F. Sink and Miss Arreny Kin
dley, both Of this place, and employ
ees of the Wennonah Cotton Mills.
Miss Kindley's parents were oppo-
sed to the match, and the couple de-
cided to run away. Their intention
was to fec to South Carolina and
have the not tied in that State, but
learning that the enraged parent
would pursue them there, gave MIR.
Kindley the slip, and stopped over
at Salisbury. Mr.. Kindley finally
traced them there, and found Mr..
Sink, but failed to find his daughter.
She was kept in concealment until
friends of all the parties concerned
prevailed upon him to sign an agree
ment expressing his willingness to
allow their union.
