LONDON, Sept 17.-The British consul as

gives startling details regarding brigandags
In Italy. The whole island OF Sicily, he
says Is infested with bands Of robbers, who
capture large landed propristors and rich
merchants and hide them in caves In this

living within four hours OF Palermo ars
afraid to remain on their estates unless sur-
rounded by private mounted guards. The
band, led by q brigand named Samauw, Ia
the
MOST TERRIBLE OF ALL
the numerous bandits In the island. Their
immunity from punishment is due entirely
TO the supineness Of the government. This
baud had committed many murders char
acterized by the greatest cruelty. Even
children have NOE escaped the members of
this gang OF thieves and murderers. They
have beheaded little boys and girls, cue
their bodies In halves and then thrown the
mutilated remains abouS the country FOR the
dogs and hogs 10 eat. Many land owners
who have incurred she enmity OF the
briRands have been treacherously asaassi-
mated, while others who have fallen into
their hands have been
CONDEMNED TO DEATH
by slow torture The difficulty In suppress
ing these murderous bands, If any really
determined attempt Ia ever made, Is due TO
the fact that a large number of people pro-
vide the brigands with supplies at high
prices. and are therefore unwilling TO give
any information that would lead TO their
capture. In other cases the peasants are
terrified Some time ago the American
consul at Palermo made report similar to
the above to the state department at Wash
ingtou. The Italian government indig-
nantly denied his statements and privately
demanded his recall, which was complied
with. There is not the slightest doubt that
the report Of the American official was cor-
rect In every particular.

President, was in Charlotte to-day. There
was great gathering Of democrats, horse
back procession a mile in length being the

rum TO over 5000 people. Gen. Steven
sons ancestors were among the signers
of the Meoklenburg declaration Of inde-
pendence, and he referred to this
in opening bis remarks. His speech was
mainly defense of Cleveland's sdministra-
ton and talK on the tariff and force bill.
ALI admitted. he said, that Mr.. CleveIand's
administration was an honest one. The
bonds OF the government were paid at ma
turity, and the only question was what
should be done with the surplus. You never
hear question of that kind asked now.
AN HOUR ON THE TARIFF.
He spoke an hour on the tariff alone. and
In concluding said "the Democratic party
wages no warfare on any business interest
and it favors no legislation hostile 20 the
live interests of any business enterprise
We believed that the burden of taxation
should be equally distributed. We oppose
all legislation that enriohes few by taxing
many. He reviewed carpet-bag rule in
North Carolina and said the force bill
meant return to the condition of affairs in
the dark days Of reconstructiou."
This was Gen. Stevenson's third speech in
the state, and his work is greatly renewing
democratic hopes.

Loon LAKE, Sept. 17.-This has been the
most favorable day Mrs. Harrison has ex-
perienced since she was stricken with pleu-
rsy, nearly ten days ago, and her physi-
clans express confidence this evening of her
recovery from that particular complication.
They gravely admit, however, that the
terrible seeds of consumption are still pres
: ent, and are apt to continue their steady
inroad on her constitution. The manner in
which she has overcome the attendant
complication Encourages the belief that she
still has fighting chance.

The lower floor of the main building
burned was occupied by heavy machinery,
the second by light machinery, aud the
third by pattern desks. The flames swept

engines and the force consisted of a single
driver and engineer and fireman for the
