blamed the coal on account of poor quality

From that time forth everything was by

nobody had work to occupy the time. A
five-knot breeze was useless to such
craft, for do what the captain would he

her on her course. She went TO leeward

time we drifted right across the Atlantic

north then south of the line, and then

The captain could be heard raving about
the ship, shouting orders to the strange

his commands up with snatches of far

Fish i'm the Hurricane.
New York Sun

A notable effect of the recent severe
storms was the driving from the coast in to
deep water of all the desirable fish that
anglers have been accustomed to catch off
as yet coming back only slowly toward the
coast, and it was only after weeks of dis
appearance that snappers, bass, weakfisb
aud fluke began to come in upon the rising
tide to prey upon the killles about the sub
merged water-grass, and go back upon the
receding water. Some tine catches of fish
have lately been made In Jamaica Bay.
and anglers expect that, with favorable
weather, the bluefish will soon be fine in
the sound and off Fire Island.

To that we can all agree. DIR.
Ainsworth probably knew no more
about such work than any other
medical man, and the man in charge
of the building and the man Sasse
probably were equally innocent OF
any special training and knowledge
in that line. They we're employed
by the government because of their
fitness in some other line of work,
and Of that they did not pretend
to have any acquaintance. It was
not their affair. The government

Refused the Writ.
}y Southern Associated Press.

By Southern Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, June 2O.-Judge
Bradley in the District Supreme
Court this morning rendered a de.
cision refusing a writ of mandamus
to George Pulaski to compel the
civil service commission to approve
his reinstatement as a substitute
letter carrier. Pulaski passed a
civil service examination for the po-
sition and in August, 1892, his
name was placed on the eligible list
for appointment. January 23rd,
1898, Postmaster Sherwood, of
Washington, made requisition upon
the civil service commission for a
candidate for appointment Three
names were supplied. Pulaski was
selected from the list and received
notice from the postmaster of his
appointment. He was dropped from
the rolls by the direction Of the
Postmaster General under instruc.
ton of the civil service commission
that the appointment was irregular.
Pulaski contended he was unlaw-
fully removed from the position, ap.
piled for a writ of mandamus tc
compel the Postmaster General te
reinstate him and the commission
to approve the reinstatement. Judge
Bradley discussed in detail the civil
service law and points made by the
petitioner, and reached the conclu
sion that it was apparent from tn,
facts in the case that Pulaski having
been irregularly appointed, had NJ
absolute legal right to the office>i1
which he was placed, that would
justify the court in interfering g
The court therefore refused tn,
writ prayed for.

The Atlanta to Return Home.

By Southern Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, June 2O.-An order
directing the cruiser Atlanta to re-
turn to the United States was ca
bled to Capt Bartlett, at Greytown,
Nicaraugua. She was ordered to
Nicaragua early in May when trou-
BILE was first reported there, and her
orders to return home indicate that
the trouble in Nicaragua is at an
end. But it also indicates some
thing further. Captain Higginson's
delay in sailing, for which he was
so severely censured, may be shown
to have been justified by the condi-
ton of the ship. The Atlanta will

will undergo extensive repairs. A
board of officers will be appointed
to survey her to ascertain her exact
condition, which is reported to be
bad. 1t is thought she will be
placed out cf commission until
thoroughly overhauled, bat this de.
pends upon the report of the board

The Advantages North Carolina Cotton

The Advantages North Carolina Cotton
Mills Enjoy Over those Of New Eng
land.
GRAHAM, n. @, June 19.-Until
recent years the Southern people
thought cotton could be converted
into fabrics, on an extensive scale,
only along the rivers of New Eng
land. Could our fathers come back
from the land of spirits and hear
the hum of the $4,000 spindles and
the rattle of the 5000 busy looms of
Alamance county, N. c., they would
be filed with wonder.
The first cotton factory in this
part of the South wss established
on Alamance Creek, about four
miles south of Graham, and is still
one of the smallest factories in the
county. It was owned by MIR. Ed
win Nj. Holt, father of the Holt
brothers, who are at present the
leading manufacturers in centra1
North Carolina.
He afterwards built another fac
tory at Haw River depot, two miles
east of Graham, and associated
with him his son, Thomas NJ, after
wards Governor of the State
Since the war seventeen other cot
ton factories have been built in Ala
nance, all of which are in success
full operation. The largest of these
the Granite Mills, at Haw River
owned by Governor Thomas M
Holt, has about 5000 spindles, 45'
looms, and gives employment t.
about 500 hands. The next larges
is the Oneida, at Graham, L. Bank
Holt, Esq,
Burlington has five cotton fscto
ries, Graham three, and Hay

other points in the county off tn
railroad, but on the river givin
them the advantage of waite
power.
: The factories along the railroa
except the Granite Mills use stea1
altogether, and consume grea
, quantities of wood and coal. Th
surrounding country affords WOO
in almost unlimited quantity, al
the revenues derived from it's sal
is of great help to the farmers.

The monometalists tried to get
up q scare over the silver act, and
if their game worked and has
played any part in bringing on the
present money famine, the people
know whom to thank. The boy who

out at Fargo the other night and
burnt the town up, may not have
thought he was doing any damage,

NOTWITHSTANDING that the wicked

has gained in the last three weeks
more than five millions of dollars in

said by the monemetslists that that
particular act was running the coun-

An Alabama Philosopher.

We take off our hat to Judge
Mobley, of Greene county, Alabama.
He is a scholar,a gentleman, and a
philosopher, He has just furnished
the country with an example which

According to the story, as told IN

plum of the official variety here IN
Washington. It fell to Representa-
tives Bankhead's lot in the dividend
and that gentleman at once tele-
graphed to his friend, Judge Mob
lev, to come on and take possession
thereof. The judge came, as de-
sired. He needed a trip to Wash
ington anyhow, so he took his grip
sack in hand, and, without inqulrlng
further as to particulars, came on
as he had been requested. He was
taken up to the department build
ing, shown the Office that had been
assigned him, instructed as to its
duties, obligations, and responsible
ties. He also received explicit in.
formation as to it's emoluments. he
liked the general appearance OF
Washington, admired the architec'
ture, and thought faVorably of the
climate. Ea thanked Mr.. Bank.

As WE have indicated, the case
made against Lizzie Borden was 80
slight that there could be no great
expectation of her conviction. The
jury took but two hours to consider
the evidence, and run over the case
together in their room. They could
have spent but little time in delib-
GRAFTON, and in short order returned
verdict Of not guilty.
We think the verdict was war
ranted by the evidence. Whether
she was not party to plot to have
her parents murdered is not so clear.
The probability is that she knew
that her step mother had been
killed, and arranged matters for the
murder of her father. Perhaps her
uncle Morse managed the details
and she contrived the opportunity,
while some third person did the
deeds. And again, it may be that
she is entirely innocent, and that
the circumstances that apparently
implicate her, by showing a guilty
knowledge, might have occurred
without her knowing that either was
to be harmed. Now that she ha.
been cleared, let US at least hope 81
for the honor Of the sex and of hu
man nature, for a woman who couli
butcher her step mother and the,
wait an hour in placidity and place
her father on lounge to sleep, ant
then butcher him in the home O
her childhood, would be a monste
and not woman.

The coroner's jury found Col
Ainsworth, Contractor Dant, Will
liam Covert, the Superintendent of
the building, and Francis Sasse, who
drew the plan for the work to be
done, all guilty Of criminal negli-
gence, and these men have been
bound over to await the action of the
grand jury. We quote from the re-
port of the jury: "The said Aims
worth, Sasse and Covert, and each
of them, knew, or ought to have
known, that the said Dant was en-
gagged in excavating said cellar
and underpinning said piers, and
that he had not shored the columns
and beams of said building, OF
taken any other precaution to pre-
vent the fall thereof of said floors,
nor did they, the said Ainsworth
Sasse, Covert, or either of them
take any precaution to prevent the
fall of said floors while the said
Dant was engaged in underpinnine
piers and columns, so as to protect
the said clerks from loss of life O,
by reason thereof"
This plainly involves very seri
ons question as to how far an Office,
who let's out q contract for doine
work, which if done intelligent,
and properly by the contracto
would not necessarily result in dis
aster, is responsible for the negli
gence of the contractor. It is nc
