r,c,-prs-rHE FACTS WANTED

Looking over the auditors
report we notice that attorney
fees were paid to Armsted
ZONES October 1892 for $4,000
and IN Busbee < Busbee Octo-
her 1se, for 81. 500. As pub
lie Journalist we would like to
ask what service these men
rendered the State that $4,000
of the peoples money should
be paid to them. They were
employed in the case OF tue
State VS.. the Seaboard q Ro-
noke r. R., but the amount col
lected from this road according
to the same report was only s7,-
500. How long did these law
yers work for the State! The
salary Of the Attorney Gener-
al for a whole year is only
$4,000. Did Mr.. Jones work a
whole year for the State on
this one case, and did Busbee
& Busbee work a whole year
too or even a half a year. And
if they had would not $4,000
the same amount paid to the
Attorney General have not
been an enormous fee! In our
innocence we had thought that
the people elected an Attorney
General to do such work as
these men were employed to do.
Again we notice that the State
Guard cost the taxpayers of the
State more thon $4,000. Can
the people afford the luxury of
a State guard at these fgurers?
Now since the money power
has recently had bill passed
making the State guards part
Of the U. S. Army would not it
be we'll for the State to either
abolish the Guard or let the U.
S. Government foot the bill!
Again we notice that the bu
reau of Labor Statistics cost
more than $4,000 year. Can
tell the people what
good this bureau has done? Or
is it just plan prepared to give
an office to some good worker
for the party?
We notice that there is an ex-
ira 81 900 drawn by the Aud
itor himself for extra clerk
hire-what is the extra work
done during the last year for
which this money was paid!
Will the Auditor, the servant
of the people, explain?
We also notice that there is
SI, 900 for extra clerk hire paid
to the Secretary Of State. What
extra wor k was done in that Of
fee during the last year? We
that when the Colo
NAL Records were being gotten
by Col. Sanders, that in recog-
milton of his services to the
State in preparing the valuable
documents for which he charged
the State nothing, that the Leg
islature authorized the payment
Of S 1000 extra to the office for
an extra clerk. Is it possible
that this $1,000 a year extra
has been continued ever since9
Let the people have the truth
about the matter. THE CAUCA-
SIAN will turn on the light if
the peoples servants do not.

THE r. @. Dun & Co., and
Bradstreet Mercantile Agencies,
in their recent advices to mer-
chants, report that the North
Carolina Farmers State Alliance
has assigned. This report is
wholly false, and could be done
for no other purpose than to
damage the Alliance, and espe-
cially it's Business Agency. Who
reports to those agencies in
Raleigh? Dun and Bradstreet
should be called to account.
THE Electoral College for
North Carolina met in Raleigh
on last Monday. Mr.. c. B Ay

Some long stereotyped speeches
were made nominating and sec
ending the nominations of Cleve-
land and Stevenson. Mr.. Glenn,
the other Elector, was appointed
to take the official returns to
Washington, and deliver the
same to the President of the
Senate.
IT is amusing to see a blind
partisan monopoly-controlled pa
per declaring that the party
must carry out its pledges faith
fully and honestly with the peo-
pie, and that if it does not, it
ought to be condemned by the
people, etc. Papers that try this
confidence game on the people
will get left this time. The peo-
pie know that such papers are
not honest, and that if the pres
ent Congress and the Demo-
cratic party were to violate every
pledge made to the people, that
these papers would at the next
election raise the old tune
"Give us one more chance"
SOME one sent to the pa
Pers one day last week a sensa-
tional report saying that ter
rible battle between the sheriff
and some lynchers had taken
place at Bakersvilie, N. c., and
that over thirty-one men were
killed. 1t was sent out by the
Associated Press, and was pub
lished in every daily newspaper
in America, and in many Euro
pean papers. The whole thing
turns out to be a lie. This must
be the same man who has been
reporting the National meetings
of the Alliance for the Goldbue
newspapers.

RIOT IN NEW YORK.
WalhaIIa Hall Looted by Mob of Unem.
Moved Men.

New YORK, Aug. 1.-THE first Of the
riots which labor leaders and others
have been predicting for some time as
result of the large number of men be-
ing out of employment, occurred this
morning A crowd of more than 5000
men attacked Wa.halla Hall on Orchard
Street because admittance was denied
them. They mashed the plate-gass
windows into atoms and forced in the
door which had been turned against
them and forcibly took possession Of the
place. Several persons were cut by the
flying glass. All sorts of missiles were
used and finally the police reserves
from the Eldredge Street station
were ordered to the scene and
succeeded in partly dislodging the
crowd. Those forming the crowd were
mostly Hebrews and represented prin-
cipally the clothing trades. At last ac-
counts the hall was about half filed
with men determined to hold meeting
at aDV cost

BALL AT THE WORLDS FAIR
All Nations Join in Great Festival
Thousands There.

CHICAGO, H., Aug. 17.-Last night was
a great night at the Worlds Fair. The
nations of the world intermingled at a
ball. Every class of all peoples were
there. The natatorium building where
the grand fete was held contained thou
sands Of people who paid So to partici
pate. The hall was decorated accord
ing to the ideas Of taste of the diff
ferent countries. 1t was a curious
commingling of art and colors.
The ball was arranged by the conces-
sionaires of the Midway Plaisance, all
the strange people from that strange
quarter taking part. There were Chi
nese, Javanese Japanese, Samoans, Daho-
meyans, Turks, Bedouins. Syrians, Per-
slams and many other nations in native
dress. The Worlds Fair officials were
all in attendance. "Citizen" George
Francis Train led the march with a
dusky woman from the far East.

GIVEN A MARTIAL WELCOME.
Body Of West Point Boys Invade the Grounds
of the White City,

WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS, CHICAGO, ILL.,,
Aug. 1S.-The White City was gala with
uniforms, martial music and handsome
ly dressed women to-day Two hun
dred and eighty West Point cadets were
the chief attraction. They arrived in
the forenoon and arrangements had
been made to give them a send off.
They were met by military escort Of
militia and regulars and an enthu-
siastic crowd. They were greeted by
cheers, umbrellas and lace handker-
chiefs. Their fine marching, their
stylishly cut uniforms and highly pol
ished buttons elected words of admira
ton along the line. The cadets will re-
main ten days. The management re-
gard their presence as a great draw
ing card for the fair. They
are camped in army style except
ing, perhaps, that their beds are
softer, their tents more attractive and
their food superior. 1t was deemed
''impracticable" for them to do their
own cooking, SO a contract was made
with a caterer to furnish edibles, and
the embryo soldiers will live on the fat
of the land. They have been assigned
an open space on the great lawn where
their tents are pitched, for their daily
drills. They will dc regular campus work
while here, special attention being
given to tactics and practical army
work. Guard mount will take place
each morning, troop parade before
noon and retreat parade in the evening.
The West Point 9rs will be treated to a
round of social pleasures during their
90, 41N obi Of 1\nI, holl fn11
dered them by the fair officials next
Tuesday night. The state buildings
will be illuminated and bands will play
all over the ground.
AUSTRIA's DAY AT THE FAIR.
Austria's roval eagles screamed in
regular American fashion at the fair to-
day. 1t was Austria's day, and the
Austrians made the most of it. 1t was
the birthday Of His Imperial Majesty
Francis josef and that fact gave the
day additional Importance. The cele
bration began early this morning
when Archbishop katzer, of Mil
waukee, said high mass in st. James
Church. The church was crowded with
representatives of the various Austrian
societies in uniform and Austrian citi-
zens. After the religious ceremonies
there was parade which lasted an hour
or so, and then almost the entire Aus
trian colony of Chicago, with all the Wis
iting subjects of Emperor Fran
els Josef, went out to the White
City. An informal reception was
held in the Austrian section Of the
manufactures and liberal arts building.
Imperial Commissioner Anton Won
Palitschek Palmforst received the Wis
itors at the main entrance of the sec
ton. The formal exercises at the fair
were held in music hall The intro
ductory was made by DR.. S. D. Stewards,
of New York. Imperial Commissioner
Palitschek Palmforst welcomed his
countrymen to the fair, and Mayor Car
ter Harrison welcomed them to the city.
The other speakers were Commissioner
Thomas A. Bryan and DR.. Henry Bak.
The celebration concluded with an
alfresco festival and concert at Old
Vienna. in the Midway Plaisance

TRAINS CANNOT CARRY THEM.
Ever Railroad Pouring Crowds of People
Into the White City.


Into the White City.
WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS, CHICAGO, ILL.,,
Aug. 17,-Not since President Cleveland
touched the electric button that opened
the White City to the world has there
been such an influx of visitors as dur
ing the last three days. Special Worlds
Fair trains brought 1850 visitors into
the city last night. They were all from
eastern points and came because of the
low rates offered by eastern lines.
Every train carried it's full limit
of cars and each car was COM
fortably filled. The first train came
over the Erie. 1t was made up Of ten
coaches and contained $40 people. An
hour later two more specials over the
same line brought III 1,45O people.
Other roads bringing in special trains
were the Pennsylvania system. four
trains and 8, 200 passengers; the Grand
Trunk, two trains and l ,410 passengers;
the Nickel Plate, two trains and 1900
passengers; the Wabash, two trains
and and, 1900 passengers; Hich i gan
ceipts are increasing the Worlds
Il
amount of money spent by each visitor
is 20 per cent. less than it was during
the first three months of the fair. They
account for this in two ways. First,
they say it is due to the scarcity of
money and the hard times. Then there
is change in the character of the peo
pie who are now coming. At the open
Ing Of the fair the visitors were largely
from the large cities and now those
from the rural districts are beginning to
arrive
Never before has there been such
rush for admission at the gates as to-
day. Every surface car arriving after
7,:3O was TANNED with fair visitors and
all along the line the transferred passen
gers were waiting for foot-room on car
platform. One car after another ran by
them, having neither seats nor standing
room. The premature economy of the
department of admissions was made ap
parent. Gate-keepers have been dis
charged in punches for a week or more
and the force was not half adequate
to-day to accommodate the crowds that
impatiently waited to be admitted. At
the Sixty-fourth Street gates, three
keepers only were employed, one
whole section having only one gate in
use. The people were forced to wait
their turn in single file, and during the
forenoon rush there we're 200 people in
line at each entrance all the time At
other gates it was the same. The ele-
waited road and the Illinois Central and
other lines to the fair all did an un-
usually large business.

rows, vice-president, and J. E. Reyn-

JOHN CUDAHY SETTLES,
His Three Brothers to Assist in Meeting
All Liabilities.


CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug. 1.-THE affairs of
John Cudahy, who figured so promi-
nently in the recent lard corner, are in
a fair way for adjustment. John Cuda-
hy's three brothers, Mike, Edward and
Patrick, have put their shoulders to the
wheel and propose to extricste from
the mire their less fortunate brother. A
new proposition was submitted this
morning to John Cudahy's creditors,
which practically assures to them pay
ment in full Of all claims. Collateral
will be put up to secure $780, or
one-half the indebtedness, pay
ments to be made on two and
three years time. To cover the
remaining $500 of indebtedness, the
three brothers, Mike, Edward and Pat
rick, bind themselves to pay 100000
per annum for FIVE years into the
hands Of G. L. Hutchinson, pres
ident of the Corn Exchange
National Bank, as trustee, to be
applied on notes of John Cudahy. This
arrangement leaves but Sic, 900 of John
Cudahy's notes unsecured. Many Of
the creditors have already consented to
the proposed arrangement.

SENSATION ON MIDWAY.
One Arab Steals AnOther's Wife and a
Fight Ensues.


CHICAGO, Ill, Aug. 20-The BedOuin
village in Midway Plaisance furnished
lively sensation to-day, and as a result
four Arab bloOds are in jail for scourging
Hashad Abdalla with their camel and
donkey whips. MOssley Ahmad, duskv
son of the desert, was the most excited
man in all Chicago. AS late as o'clock
Saturday night Ahmad had a dashing
young wife. When he arose this morn
ing she was gone. The discovery was
also soon made that MOustafa Ahrass
formerly Of Arabia, had disappeared.
1t was known to some Of the villagers
that Ahras had long coveted Mrs.
Ahmad. Although in the early hours
of the morning Ahras returned but the
woman was not with him Late
Saturday evening he had stolen her out
of the village and had taken her to an
abiding place down town. Mossley All
mad is at the head of a company Of ten
Bedouin actors, while Ahras belongs to
a troupe of Arab camel drivers. When
the latter returned, Ahmad sent Has
had Abdalla over to his camp to inquire
of him what he had done With
the woman Moustafa Halad, Nous
tafa Ahras, MOustafa Bhras and
Moustafa Talb jumped on the.
Bedouin with their whips and almost
took all the black skin off his back and
shoulders. They tied the poor fellow
to q post and scOurged him until other
members of the village had to interfere
to prevent them from killing him.
When released from the savages Abdal-
Ia sWore out warrants for the four All
mad, meanwhile, is rushing madlv
about looking for his wife, but her cap
tor refuses to reveal her whereabouts
