IHE ARSON CASES IN PITT COUNTY
Tho cases of arson in Pitt county have
been so humorous and II appears 10 be so
difficult 20 make arrests that perhaps
some new meihOd will have TO be devised
Tor the detection OF the criminals. OF
course lynching would swiftly follow
Identification. One would think that the
rewards of 2 800 offered by the State, Pitt
county, and property-Owners IN ChlcOd
township. IN that county, would before
this have resulted IN some arrests and
some good detective work. But money
must not be an object with detectives Just
now. for nothing has been done. There
are grounds for belief that negroes COM
mlt these crimes, and are bribed 10 do so
los certain white men who have a grudge
against the Grimes and LauGhinghouse
families and the latter's friends. IL all
grows out Of the assassination OF General
Bryan Grimes a dozen years ago. The re-
eu.t IS bad for that section. No property.
owner feels secure, and. Of course, capital
is .ly. IL Is the most serious state OF
Affairs existing IN North Carolina.
Au extensive and very valuable mica
mine has lust been discovered at Rich
Mountain, WataugA county.
News has been received of the burning
of Joseph Sabiston's general store, IN Car
t4ret county, causing $4,000 loss, with
1000 insurance.
The commercial travellers in this State
agree IN the opinion that the year lust
begun will be much better for business
than the last one.

CHARLOTTE DRY TOWN VET.

Especial telegram TO the Dispatch.l
CHARLOTTE, n. G.. January 5.-Charlotte
is a dry town yet. The DISPATCH yesterday
contained full report OF the proceedings
of the Board Of Aldermen in granting
license TO applicants 10 sell liquor. As was
stated would be the case, the county com
missioners took the question under con-
siderati0n to-day upon the Application OF
w. f. Buchanan. an alderman Of this city.
Witnesses were introduced by Mr..
Buchanan's attorneys TO prove that
he had good moral character. The
anti-hQuor men introduced witnesses TO
show that Mr.. Buchanan when be was IN
the liquor business here two years ago.
sold liquor 10 minors. After all the testl-
mony was in able speeches were made by
counsel on both sides, and although the
COMM ssioners had refused several appli-
Giants at their December meeting IL was
thought by many that they would reverse
their decision in this case and grant the
license. The court-hous was filed with
whiskey and anti-whiskey men, and the
result was watched with interest.
THE wHIsEEr MEN WHIPPED.
The commissioners refused the license
by vote OF 3 TO 2. This makes Charlotte
tor the present at least n dry town, as it is
unlawful to sell liquor without license from
tLecounty commissioners and these officers
have persstently refused to grant any
license. The whiskey men seem com
pletely whipped. Their saloons have
all been closed since January lat, and 1t IS
not believed that they will open at least
for some time 10 come. If they do they
will be prosecuted for every violation of
the law. The liquor men claim that they
will manage in some way TO sell, and the
other side are determined TO prevent 1t.
Ii is not known how il will all result, and
the outcome is awaited with much inte-
rest. The commissioners will meet again
tomorrow. but there will be no other APP
plications TO be considered. 1t is believed.
cHARLoTTE's GROWTH AND PROGRESS.
Tonight was held the annual meeting Of
the Chamber of Commerce of this city.
The President and Secretary made their
annual reports, which showed the Cham
Der in good condition, and that the last
year had been the best IN Charlotte's his

rapidly, and she has inaugurated more
manufacturing enterprises. built more
houses, done more business, enjoyed better
banking facilities. and in every way made
more progress than III any previous year.

ensuing year: President, j. l.. Chambers;

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York. January 5.-The stock market
to-day showed q rather reaetionary tenn
permanent. and the volume of business was
somewhat smaller, but while there was
considerable pressure TO sell from all quar-
tiers the new buying continued on such
scale that prices in all the lists were stub
bornly held, and some stocks even scored
handsome advances, though only in the
Industrials were these of special i'm
portance at the close. The low-priced
shares again attracted great deal of at
tention, and among these Louisville, New
Albany, and Chicago. Wheeling and Lake
Erie, Reading and Buffalo, Rochester and
Pittsburg, together with Pittsburg and
Western were most conspicuous.
THE INDUsrRIALs STRONGEST.
The Industrials. however, were the fea-
lures for strength and all the leaders
scored handsome gains. Among the usually &C.
tive list New England was the early centre OF
interest, q renewal Of the old story OF deal
with the New Haven carrying its price In the
forenoon to 40N. But there was free selling az
that ngure, and the stock finally retired below
Its opening price and even below Its last night
figure. The Reading securities were strong on a
report that the interest on the Incomes will be
paid, and II fairly took the place OF New England
NJ leader OF the market, both as TO activity and
strength. Tbs other coal companies we're not
helped by the advance in Reading. however,
tho "a among the low-priced shares Tennessee
Coal WAS very prominent, as well ~ the Sus1ue-
hanna and Western preferred, though each OF
these stocks reacted In the nnal dealings.
THE OPENING FIRM.
The opening was generally firm at Insignificant
advances IN most shares from last nights fnal
figures. but selling orders, apparently from Lon
don. induced considerable short selling, and
after the first squirt on the early demand the
entire list reacted, though loss OF point In
Erie preferred was the only impression at the
time.
Tho market held stubbornly, however, and
before noon the losses we're regained, but only

movement, and Chicago Gas was pushed Tor
ward from 74lS TO 7Sl4, and Distillers from 8l3s

close Of business. The new Lead stocks, on the
other hand. were still weak, and both lost over
per cent. There was some selling OF the North
ern Pacific stocks on a report that the earnings
would show large decrease.
THE CLOSE ACTIVE AND FAIRLY STEADY.
The market finally closed active and fairly

COINAGE OF SILVER.
A RESOLUTION OF INTEREST PRO-
POSED BY SENATOR STEWART.
Rights of the People Under an Existing
Law Which Have Apparently Been
Overlooked by Everybody.
ny telegraph to tho Dispatch

W,sHiSoTos. ID. c.. January 5.--Senator
Stewart. Of Nevada. added a new feature
10 the silver question to-day by the intro
duetion of a resolution founded on the
proposition that holders OF silver bullion
are entitled. under an existing law. never
repealed so far "a the Senator CON sscer-
tain. 10 the free coinage of silver. The
resolution is:
Whereas by the fourteenth section Of an'
act approved January -, 1887, 1t is pro-
vided Chat gold and silver bullion brought
80 the mint for coinage shall be received
end coined by the proper officers for the
benefit If depositors; and whereas by the
act approved February y. 1873, emitted an
net to authorize the coinage of the stand
ard silver dollar and to restore Its legal
tender character. 10 Is enacted that there
shall be coined at the several mnts OF the
United States silver dollar of the weight
of 4121I grains troy of standard silver. as
provided by the act OF January Is. 1887. on
which shall be the devices and superscrip-
tions provided in said act therefore be II
Resored. That the Committee on the Ju-
dietary is hereby instructed TO inquire IT
any further legislation Is necessary TO
make II the duty of the proper officers Of
the mint TO receive and coin silver bullion
tor the dement, OF oepOsltOIs.
wBAT IT MEANS.
When asked to-day what was the mean
ing of bis resolution Senator Stewart said (:
4" II IS provided IN the act OF 1887 that gold
and silver bullion brought TO the mint Tor
coinage shall be received and coined by
the proper officers for the benefit of de-
posters There is no other mode or man.
ner provided for coinage in that act. The
Bland act of 1878 revives the law of 1887 re-
lating to the coinage of silver bullion for
the benefit of depositors. The require
ment that the officers Of the mint shall
coin silver bullion for the depos--
ltors as provided by tho act Of
1887 is unequivocal. That act makes 1t
their duty to do so. The act OF 1897 also
prescribes the devices and superscriptions
to be impressed upon the silver dollar
The officers Of the mint did not hesitate to
follow that act as to such devices and su-
prescriptions. Why they have not re-
ceived and coined silver as prescribed by
the act remains mystery. The omission
to enforce this provision OF the law ~ IN
accountable. 1t appears to have. been
overlooked by all parties. i myself have
hesitated 10 call attention TO this law, fear
ing that there might be some other provi-
sion repeating, suspending. or qualifying
