The Legislature.
The Idaho legislature adiourns
today. The closing scenes are be-
ing enlivened by little scrapping
between beligerant Legislators, but
happily, mucilage hotties were the
most dangerous weapons used.
The Ceur d. Alene school of science
bill will probably pass as will also
the Bannock County bill. The
Kootenai division bill comes up
but there is no hope. The bill to
prohibit all gambling games except
faro and poker has passed; also a
bill to create uniform liquor Ii
cence law throughout the state, re-
quiring all dealers to pay $500 a
year in advance. Much legislation
will be rushed through in the last
hours, SO that it will be next week
before we can give a summary of
important legislation enacted.

wINSTON'S BANKS,
The First National and Peoples " ill
Soon Open.

Messrs. J. G. Buxton and w. A.
Blair returned last Thursday
from New York City where they went
a week ago to look after some finances
for their respective banks-the First
National and Peoples. Both came
back somewhat fatigued from the
trip but wearing broad smiles, indi-
eating that the worst was over and
that their two Institutions would
soon be open and running as though
nothing had ever happened in the
shape of money panic.
a SENTINEL representative called
upon Mr.. Buxton at his residence for
an interview.
II had all the money offered me
wanted-more than | needed. | sue

rangements for opening the First Ma
tional, and all that remains now for
the bank to resume business is to per-
feet few plans at home and then or
ganiZe.
The SENTINEL will announce in a
few days when the bank will resume
business.
Prof. Blair, who was with Mr.. BuX-
ton most of the time, also had sue
cessful trip. There is nc longer any
doubt about the Peoples resuming
business, though the exact day has
not been decided upon yet, However,
it will be announced in few days.
THE SENTINEL was told by a
responsible gentleman that New
York Insurance Company had con-
sented to loan parties in Winston
$50, 600 for five years, on six per cent
interest, the day the Senate passes the
Sherman bill.
Let the Senate do its duty and all
will be well with the country.

SILVER LEADERS.
THEY HAVE ABANDONED ALL
HOPE OF FREE COINAGE
AT This Session of Congress-Lawmak
ers Feel They Must Give Some
Sort of Relief

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-The silver
leaders of the House have abandoned
all hope of the adoption of law by
this Congress for the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver. They know
such a bill cannot be passed.. The
House has already voted free coinage
down by 100 majority, while on a sec
Ond vote on the embarrassed issue,
the majority against it might not be
quite so large, still there is no hope.
The silver men are, therefore, working
on another line. They are endeavor-
ing to reach a compromise of some
sort enlarging the use of silver. 1t
may be that all factions will unite
upon measure providing for the pur-
chase and coinage of a certain amount
of silver annually, then after Con-
gress has provided for the coinage of
the seignOrage of silver bullion in the
Treasury, an effort will be made to
provide for the coinage of all the sill
yer bullion in the Treasury. AS the
notes issued for purchasing it have al
ways been redeemed in gold by the
Secretary of the Treasury, it is held
that this bullion stands for. nothing
and there is no good reason why it
the available assets of the Treasury.
The further policy of the southern
and western Congressman is to adopt
ii law providing for the issue of cur
rency by State banks, to repeal the 10
per cent taX-but to surround the
notes with a perfect safeguard. They
will then urge the adoption of an in
come tax and will strive for reduc-
tion of all tariff schedules to revenue
iS Hf of
the leading silver men. With them on
all these questions will probably be a
majority of both Houses. The Con-
gressmen argued that if relief cannot
be obtained one way, they will try on
another line. Free coinage cannot be
had at present, but possibly the pro-
gram as outlined above can be carried
out. One thing is certain, the Repre-
sentatiyes recognize that the demands
of the country are SO strong and so
clear that some heed must be paid to

ST. HELENA'S HORRORS.
Net Less Than $50 Lives Were Lost
There DurIH the Hurricane.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Sept. 1.-Dr.J
w. Babcock, physician to the State
lunatic asylum at Columbia, who was
sent to Beaufort to investigate the
condition of the cyclone sufferers, has
made his first report. He has visited
Ladies and St. Helena islands and re-
ports that previous reports haYe not
been exaggerated.
At Eustace place, on Ladies island,
four miles from Beaufort, tWenty-one
out of thirty-one original buildings
were entirely swept away, and those
remaining are badly damaged. Fifty
one lives were lost at this place. For
ty-four bodies were burieo in one
grave. With few exceptions the dead
were buried in hastily prepared cof
fins, and on account of the water-log-
ged condition of the soil the graves
could not be dug deeper than two
feet. The effluvia fumes from the de-
caying bodies are fearful.
DR.. Babcock has ordered more earth
to be heaped on the graves and has
ordered a large supply of disinfect-
ants. He reports that there are no
signs of fever among the negroes on
Ladies island.
He reports that probably $50 lives
were lost on st. Helena island and
that DR.. Peters, physician on St. He
lena, reports 100 cases of malarial fe
yer caused by exposure. He has treat
ed 20 surgical injuries caused by the
storm.
DR.. Babcock further reports that
relief committees are getting the dis
taibution of food systemiZed, and
have given instructions that no sup
plies should be distributed among
| those who are not willing to do some
thing to held themselves.

REVIEW OF THE WEEK,
PRICES ON ALL GRADES DECID-
EDLY BETTER.
The Storm Damage to the Crop In the
State Estimated at From
12to Is Per Cent

F-om the Southern Tobacco Journal, Sept 81
Receipts of tobacco are considerably
better this week. The weather has
been more favorable for handling and
things generally in better shape for
making satisfactory sales.
The breaks consist mostly of old
stock. Much of 1t was of nondescript
character, being the clearing upof the
barns. However, some very good lots
were sold, consisting mostly of from
good to fine filters with few lets of
mahogony wrappers. The new VIII ch
was offered was rather of poor quality
and did not offer any big promises for
the new crop.
Prices on all grades this week were
decidedly better. The feeling that
the worst is over in the financial
panic has given an impetus to trading
in all lines and no business has felt
the return of confidence more than
tobacco. Filters and wrappers, and in
fact all grades, sold better during the
week than for months before.
The week has been a hard one on
the crop. The long rainy spell has
left tobacco in green and growing
state. The cures are reported very
poor and the outlook for a fine crop
has somewhat ''shrunk up" The
storm damage to the crop in the State
is estimated at from u to 15 per cent.
Business at the factories has i'm
proved much this week and collections
are reported much better. The ship
mentS are also larger, as the following
sales will show:

TALK WITH DeGRAFF'
He Reads His Bible and Prays - Enter
taIns Some Hope.

A SENTINEL representative called
upon Peter DeGraff last week
The prisoner was found lying
on his cot. He appears to be content
ed but talks as if he realized that his
days oh earth were numbered. How
ever he has hope that the court will
grant him new trial. If this is not
done the Governor, he thinks, may
commute his sentence to life impriS
onment. if not for less time.
DeGraff says he reads his Bible and
prays daily, thereby preparing him
self for the worst. He says that he
wants to be a better man, even if his
life is spared. He still claims that he
is innocent of the murder and will
never say anything else.
When asked why he didn't shave,
DeGraff replied that for some reason
they would not allow him to have a
razor in his cell.
The reporter gave the prisoner a
copy of THE SENTINEL containing the
tDeGraff Song" together with other
exchanges. He returned thanks for
them and began reading the verses
written by his friend Charles Pepper.
S. G. Stevenson, who stands charged
with the murder OF Polly Watts on, in
Stokes county, is in the same cell
with DeGraff. At the first trial the
jury failed to agree. His next trial
will come off in October. OF course
he is interested to know what the next
| jury will do with his case,

WANT TO COMPROMISE.
THE ADMINISTRATION WANTS
THE SENATE TO ACT.
The Silver Men Still Hopeful of Con-
cessions Want to De-
lay the Vote

WAsHINGToN, Sept. 9.-Rumors of
a compromise between the silver and
anti-silvcr men have been floating
around the corridors and lobbies for a
day or two. There is much gossip
but the substance of it is hard to get
at.
From the best sources at command
it appears that the administration
wants action. The country wants
something done right away and is
holding the administration reSpOn-
sible for the delay. The proposition
is said to have come from the anti
sllVeritcS who are afraid that the
senate may prOlong the debate.
The spirit of compromise appears to
be in the air.
The silver men are still hopeful of
concessions. The debate dragS on and
even the Senators themselves do not
like to risk their reputation by guess
| us to when it will cease The silver
men certainly expect vote on the
passage of the Voorhees, bill sooner or
later, but they think it will serve
| their cause to delay the matter as much
as possible.
Senator Morgan states that without
lilibuStcrlng some of the extreme OPP
poncntS of the unconditional repeal
| insist there must be more assurance
of a purpose to relieve the situation
| than merely to repeal the Sherman
| law.

EUGENE G. HARRELL.
The Evidence Against Him is Accumu-
Iating Every Day.

The Durham papers have published
many communications about Colonel
BARRELS Teachers excursion to the
Worlds Fair. The latest is from the
Chicago hotel people. 1t reads as fol-
lows: We wish to add another chap
ter to the already large volume of
damaging testimony against Eugene
G.. Harrell, relative to his unprece-
dented fraudulent conduct. He pre-
tended to pay US for six days board of
the people he brought to Chicago,
giving us checks, in lieu of the cash,
which he claimed he did not have.
After taking his checks in part pay
ment, he left US, owing a balance OF
Sl30. La few days after one of his
checks for $500 came back, the pay
ment being stopped by him, leaving
him in debt to us $430. He also re-
fused to pay for the hauling of the
peoples baggage to and from the hO-
tel, which we were compelled to pay
for ourselves. He has grossly de-
frauded us and we intend to go tt
Raleigh as soon as possible TO insti-
tute suit against him for the amount
| he has defrauded us, together with
| heavy damages which he has caused
us. Very truly,

From the Elkin Times

From the Elkin Times
On August 18th, a number of the
citizens of Elkin gathered at the new
woolen mills to witness the laying of
the corner stone of that immense
building. A short history of the wool
en- mills and the gentlemen connected
with the enterprise had been prepared
by Mr.. A. Chatham and was read by
j. f. Hendren. Messrs. Il. L. Gwyn
and A. Chatham started the business
on a small scale in 1873. After read
ing the sketch an air-tight tin box,
containing the following articles, was
placed in the stone:

A HOME INSURANCE. COMPANY.
1t Is Probable that One Will be Organ
ized in Charlotte,
From the Charlotte News.I

From the Charlotte News
As an outcome of the recent heavy
increase in insurance rates as noted
in the News some days ago, it is prob
able that Charlotte will have home
insurance company. The movement
was put on foot ut an informal meet
ing last night, and the promoters are
in earnest. Their plan is not yet
ready to be given to the public, but in
a general way it is that the policy
holders pay in their premiums at the
old rate to the new company, just as
they did before the raise in rates. 1t
is claimed that the insurance rates
have been raised 45, 80 Co. 10, 80, 80,
and in some cases 100 per cent. Char
| lotte pays about $50, 900 per year in in
| surancc premiums, at the old rates,
| and this turned into a home compa-
ny would make things solid. The News
| is told that Il meeting will soon be
called to put the project on foot.
| 1t should be stated that the local
| insurance agents are not to blame for
| the increase in rates. They merely
| have to 60 by the schedules furnished
them from headquarters. This fact,
though, is generally understood. The
rates have not been increased in all
cases. A few risks of certain classes
remain the same as before.
