Livingstone Wants to Express a
~ npathy for the Farmers.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Immedately
after the reading of the journal
in the senate today, Mr.. Sherman,
from the committee on foreign rela-
tions, reported back favorably the
joint resolution introduced by Mr.. Per-
kins, requesting the president to return
to the republic of Mexico twenty-one
battle fags now in the museum of the
United States military academy, which
were captured by the army of the United
States during the late war with Mexico.
He said it was an act OF courtesy to a
friendly power which had been suggested
to congress by the American minister to
Mexico, and also by Mr.. Curtis, gen
tleman connected with the organization
of the bureau OF American republics,
The committee on foreign relations
thought it a generous and proper thing to
do, for friendly nation. Mr.. Cockrell
expressed his hearty approval of the
Joint resolution, and it was thereupon
passed.
Mr.. Sherman also reported back ad-
versely the resolution (offered by Mr..
Quay requesting the committee on for
eign relations to inquire as to the prac-
ticability of the acquisition Of certain
portions of the republic of Mexico. In
definitely postponed.
In the house Mr. Stump, of Maryland,
asked consent for the quick consideration
of the senate concurrent resolution pro-
viding for the investigation by the SEN
ate and house committees on immigration
OF the laws relative to immigration, and
the facts attending the admission OF ty-
phus stricken Russians at New York.

nous consent for the immediate consid'

THE LYCEUM.
Church Creeds Discussed at Last
Nights Meeting.

At the regular meeting of the Lyceum
last night, Vice-president Stevens in the
chair, the subject, Tendency of church
creeds," was discussed.
Wm. Ward, the leading speaker, open
ed the discussion by an address of un-
usual force in opposition to the binding
power of church creeds, such as have
legislated into the form and force of &C.
clesiastic laws Of human origin.
Maj. w. H. Malone followed, showing
the probable benefit Of expression of
faith in the form Of creeds, but condemn
ing the humanity devised creeds which
govern the minds and consciencss of in
dividuals.
Tilman K. Gaines spoke of the genius
OF the new dispensation inaugurated by
Jesus Christ, as against the creeds and
traditions of the old dispensation, saying
that the founder Of the Christian religion
made, as do the prin' iples of civil liberty,
the individual above the creed and the
edicts OF church potentates. He main
tanned that churches are not legislative
bodies. That in the Christian polity,
Christ is the only law-giver, and His
disciples are co-workers and obedient
followers.
7. W. Patton followed in defense Of
individual liberty of thought and action,
defining the creed which is important as
ones own faith and right of practice.
Maj. T. c. Westall made interesting re-
marks showing the origin, history and
failure of creed making.
H. b. Stevens address was defense of
creed, showing that as the various trib-
utaries make up the grand Mississippi,
so the various church orders and creeds
unite in one broad river of blessing to
mankind.
W. 7. Penniman advocated the
right and power on the part of reli-
gious bodies to make their rules and
creeds to suit their own ideas of doctrines
and usefulness.
The subject chosen for next Tuesday
night is Tariff against free trade;;" and
for two weeks hence THE gospel OF
wealth" is the subject

THREE KNOCKED OUT.
James COrbett the Mighty Man
From California.

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-Ten thousand
people saw the boxing match. if such it
may be termed, at Madison Square gar
den last night. There was great
crowd, attracted by advertisements
which for three weeks past have an
nounced that James Corbett, of Cali
fornia, would meet three men of his own
class.
Spilling, of Rochester, was the first
man to meet Corbett. The men had
only been fighting two minutes when
Spilling was knocked down, only to
rise and be knocked down again.
Tom Chaffee, of Philadelphia, next ap,
peared and put up his hands against
Corbett. Chaffee stood just fifty sec.
ends when he fell to avoid punishment
and was clearly at the mercy OF the Cal
iforuian.
Then came James Lannon, Of Provi.
dence, K. l., the conqueror of Godfrey
Before they shook hands, however, the
police ordered Corbett and Lannon to
put on six ounce gloves, and they had to
do so. In the first round Corbett. try
as he would, could not reach, Lannon
with any force. The second round was
a repetition OF the first, Lannon fight
ing on the defensive, and Corbett being
unable to do much with him
He got in one heavy blow on Lannon':
jaw, but that was about all. In the
third round Corbet started in with a
rush and forced Lannon all over thu
ring. Lannon did what he could to de
fend himself, but he was practically
helpless. and when time was called anc
the bout was over he was very groggy

Given for the Benefit of the N. &.
.. r. G. A. Last Night.
While the attendance at the benefit en-
tertainment given last night by the
Mission Band of Mercy to the North
Carolina society for the prevention Of
cruelty to animals was not as large as
the performance merited, it was very in
teresting and enjoyable.
The part taken by the children was out
of the ordinary and pleasing to a
degree. The feature of the evening was
the singing Of Miss Flora Whitlock.
This was her first appearance in public
siuce her return from New York. Miss
Whitlock has an admirable voice, full
and sweet, and the audience was so
highly pleased that she was compelled to
respond to pronounced encore. Those
who heard her are enthusiastic in her
praise. Misses Flora and Ray Whitlock
also sang duet in an artistic manner.
John Sharp's recitations were very funny
and all were pleased.
Garratt's orchestra furnished excellent
music during the evening.

A BIG STEAL.
A Texas Bank President Gets
Away with 100000.

Away with 100000.
DALLAS, Texas, February 17.-Col. J..
B. Simpson, we'll known throughout the
south, and Texas especially, who has
been at the head of dozen business
firms in Dallas. is absent, and number
of creditors and people who have been
duped, are looking for him.
The grand jury, it is reported, have
found several indictments against him
and the air is filled with rumors OF
crooked transactions. A rumor was cir
culated yesterday that he had committed
suicide at Hot Springs. Arkansas, where
he had gone for his health, but it was
learned from one OF the largest creditors
that Simpson was on the ocean en- route
either to Europe or South America.
Years ago prudent business men pre-
dicted that Simpson was going too fast
and would come to an abrupt end. His
career has been so glittering and his
crash SO sudden and so complete that
his flight is regarded as mystery, the So
luton of which is bound to implicate
him to such an extent as to exile him
from this country. 1t is estimated that
he got away with at least 100000
in cool cash.

THE DEED OF A MADMAN
HE FIRES A MISSISSIPPI IN
SANE ASYLUM.

I'm Accordance with a Threat He
Fires the Building-Six H undred
Inmates safely Rescued-The
Loss to the state Will Reach
ezOO, 900.
JACKSON, Miss, Feb. 17.-The four
story main building of the state asylum
for the insane was set on fire about 5
O'Clock this morning by J. D. Brown, an
inmate of the institution Brown had
recently escaped and was only returned
yesterday. He stated to his attendant
that it would be all the worse for him
and them if he was again confined. His
threat was soon put into execution and
he himself, unable to escape from the
building was bprned to death, victim
of his own insane deed.
There were six hundred inmates in the
building, most of whom were asleep when
the flames were discovered. Through the
most superhuman exertions Of Superin-
tendent Mitchell, and his subordinates,
all were saved and safely transferred to
wings disconnected from the burning
pile. Such scene az the safe transfer
Of six hundred more or less violent mani
acs from such conhagration to haven
of safety, without other light than that
from the flames of the burning building,
can be better imagined than described.
After performing this extraordinary
feat, Superintendent Mitchell, Just up
from sick bed, staggered and fell under
the fearful ordeal through which he had
passed and was conveyed to his resi-
dence. Assistant holland Stewart, after
heroic and successful endeavor, also
succumbed.
The building was of brick and had a
frontage Of about five hundred feet. 1t
is situated about two miles from the city
proper. The loss to the state is proba-
ably $200,000. There was no insurance.

SAX FRANCISCO, Feb. 1.-THE state
department will be astonished when it
gets the formal claim of the sailors on
the Baltimore who were wounded BY the
Valparaiso mob. Lawyer F. Alleyne
Orr has the cases Of twenty-four men,
who were all wounded in Valparaiso
streets. They are common sailors or
coal beavers, but they want big money
for rough handling by Chilians. Their
combined claims foot up 81, ,3O5,OO
The largest sums are demanded by John
Hamilton, sailor, and jeremiah Ander-
son, coal HEAVIER They apply for $780,
600 apiece. Hamilton has three bad
wounds, and declares there is still a
piece of a Chilian dagger in the wound
that refuses to heal, Anderson is disa-
bled by several wounds, the most serious
being in the lung.
Other claims vary from 100000 to
100000. When one asked why these
men, who have never had so much in all
their lives as one years interest on the
amount of indemnity, demanded such
big sums, he said:

of indemnity that Chill may pay 20
back to Santiago. Chill may pay $2.-

Act az the Most Cowardly Ever
Known In That County.
GALLATIN, Tenn, Feb. 17.-Wm. Car

known farmer and blooded horse dealer,
was shot about 4 o'clock last evening
and killed by Edward B. Turpin, a resi-
dent of this place.
Turpin called Carter vile name. when
Carter walked toward him. As he
got within few Yards of Turpin, and
after few words, the latter fired at him.
1t is said the bullet passed through his
overcoat pocket where he had his revolv-
er concealed, the ball lowing into the
pavement. Carter turned to escape
when Turpin fired into his back, and as
Carter ran shot him again in the back.
The three shots were fired in rapid sue
cession, and at the last report Carter
fell forward in the street. He died in
about 20 minutes. Turpin was immedi-
ately taken to Jail.
The killing is almost universally re-
garded as one of the most cowardly
murders that has ever taken place in
this county.

ROCKINGHAM, N. c., Feb. 15.-Daniel
Smith. a prominent young farmer OF
Williamson's township, this county, was
assassinated about dark last night. He
was found in the early part of the night
in his lot dead, and it was thought at
the time that he had been killed by stock;
but a doctor was called and on examina-
tion found that he had been shot, the
ball passing through his body, lodging in
the backbone. Further investigation re-
vealed the fact that one Tim" Wright
was the murderer. Wright has fed to
South Carolina, but is pursued by Deputy
Sheriff Livingston and large posse, and
no doubt will be captured before morn
ing.
Mr.. Smith was very popular young
man and it was not known that he had
