HOWARD NOT SURE.
He May Not Got to Represent the Sew enth District in Congress-His
 Book tho Cause.

A report comes from Washington that the congressman who were so fortunate as to be re. elected in November last are not at all pleased with the idea of MT. M. w.. Howard of Alabama occupying a seat in the lower house of congress, and that he will more than likely be expelled when he goes there next December.
 MT. Howard, it will be remembered, was elected on the 9th of November last to rep resent the Seventh Alabama district in the Fifty- fourth congress, defeating his dem- ocratic opponent, Col. W. H. Denson, the present representative. MT. Howard was nominated and elected by the republicans, populites and Jeffersonians com bined.
 Prior to his nomination he had written and caused to be published "lf Christ Came to Congress- very sensational book detailing the alleged debaucheiy of congressman. In that book congressman and government officials, from the highest to the lowest, are described as dissipated, lecherous reprobate and hypocrites. The picture is as highly drawn as 1t is possible to make it.
 The congressman are indignant that their body should be characterized as 1t IS in this book, and it is said will not allow Mir. Howard to sit among them.
 1T the congressman elect from the Sew enth district had discontinued the. sale of his book when he was elected all would have been better with him, so the report goes, but he continued the sale subsequent to his election, and they claim this is an act of discourtesy to the house of which he is to be member, and sin for which he should suffer expulsion.
 The same report says that the republican members look with favor on the proposed contest of Colonel Denson, and that should he decide to contest the election they will seat him instead of MT. Howard.
 It is not known definitely yet whether Colonel Denson will contest, nor upon what grounds if he does decide to do so, but Q report to that effect has gained circu- lation in the past few days.

ALL SAINTS DAY.
A Pretty Allusion to 1t Made by The
Churchman.

Thursday November 1st) was "An
Saints Day." The Churchman al
ludes to it as followa:
Human memory is proverbially
frail. Hardly any material monu-
meHt is durable enough to save the
names of the good and great from
perishing. And for those who are
simply good and not great the world
builds few memorials. The flying au-
tumn leaves, whose brilliant cOiOrS at
tract a passing glance ana then are
trOdden under foot, fltly symbolic
the fieeting remembrauces that are
left behind when humble men and wo-
men pass from earth.
''EThe wider charity of the church
stands In contrast to the worlds hard
neglect. One day each year is set
apart for a memorial of all the forgot
ten WORTHLESS who have borne the
name of Christian. God remembers
them all This we know, and yet the
thought might easily become vague
and worthless, if there were not some
set time, some solemn occasion for it's
repeated recall. The helpless memo
ries andifeable faith of men are re-
proved by the church's faithfulness.
Christian souls now living on earth,
millions though they are, have need
to be reminded that many times more
millions of the redeemed have found
the rest of Paradise. That they and
we are one. that their praise and wor-
ship mingle with ours, that there is
an unseen pulSing of the life of grace
through all the great Body of Christ,
are the sweet, uplifting thoughts of
All Saints Day"

These gowns measure az yards wide,

with dress sleeves in width. A popular
fashion is sleeves reaching to the elbow,
where they are finished with a deep
flounce of lace.
White petticoats are being worn in
doors again and are everywhere more
popular than for long time. For the
street silk petticoats, however, hold
their place. There are also street petit
coats of alpaca, gloriosa, serge, hair
cloth. To be quite correct petticoats
must match in color the walking dress.
French petticoats have no opening in the
back, either the walking skirt or the
short underskirt, and are fitted below
the waist by darts in front, all the full
ness being drawn across the back by
tapes in facing sewed on the skirt.
By the bye, most American women
wear their petticoats too long, even in
fine weather. A Parisienne never COM
mits the impropriety of letting her skirts
dangle round her boots. She makes a
wide distinction between the house dress
and the street dress when it comes to
length of skirt. ELSIE BEE.

A NOTABLE OBITUARY.
A Glimpse of the'Czar's Inner Life by
One Who Knew Him Well.

LONDON, Nov. "A notable obit-
uary sketch of the Gar appears in the
Times of today. The author of the
sketch of the dead. En- peror was ON in
innate terms of friendship with the
Car and he says that the latter had
never the slightest sympathy with
high culture, adding:
Indeed, the Gar rather glorif1ed in
the idea of being of the same rough
texture as the great majority of his
subjects. and if he knew that he was
sometimes disrespectfully called the
Peasant Gar he regarded this cpl
thet as compliment. His straight
forward, abrupt manner, savOrine
sometimes of gruffness, and his direct,
unadOrned method Of expression har-
monized well with his rough-hewn.
immobile features and somewhat
sluggish movements. The impression
that he generally made IN conversa-
tion was that of good, honest, ar
dent, intelligent, strong-willed man,
who might perhaps listen to express
sions, but who certainly would stand
no nonsense from his Subordinates, or
any one else.
"Only those who have had the priv
ilege Of observing him in the unenter-
tained intimacy Of his family, espec-
tally when rOmping with his children
or amusing himself with his four
footed pets, could realize what sim
pie, kindly nature was concealed
behind by no means sympathetic
exterior"

MANGLED BY THE TRAIN.
How John Nah affey Was Killed Near
North Wilkesboro


From Daily Sentinel, Nov LIST.
The Wilkes papers give full particu-
lars of the killing of John Mahaffey,
by the west-bound freight train, at
the trestle over Mulberry Creek, near
North Wilkesboro. last; Saturday
night.
Nothing was known of the terrible
tragedy, until Sunday morning when
some of the train hands were looking
at the engine and found blood and
PARTICLES of brains scattered about on
the cow catcher and other parts of the
engine. A hat was also found near
the water tank.
Search along down the line was
made and the mangled body found at
the trestle. The head was completely
torn from the body and there were no
signs of it: except the mangled frag-
ments on the engine and along the
line His arms and legs were badly
broken. Mahaffey was at town that
afternoon and was drinking consider
ably. His home is down about Rock
creek. 1t is supposed that in return
ing nome, he got sleepy and lying
down on the planks across the trestle
went to sleep, with his head towards
the train, the train striking his head,
with the result mentioned.
Mahaffey was about 40 years old aud
leaves wife and seven children.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-The White
House had an Interesting visitor Mon
day. He was an old man from Ala
bama, and had walked all the way to
Washington from his home in that
State to see the President. He told
the ushers at the White House that
he had walked from Georgia to this
city during Hayes administration
and had shaken hands with him.
There was nothing of the crank about
the old man, and he was told to come
Cleveland.

ing, 1.-THE folks down home will think
/ am the biggest man in Alabama "
The old man added that he had no

A LEGAL SENSATION.
Point That If Sustained VIII Make a
Gretna Green of Pennsylvania.

PTTTsBURG, Pa, Oct. 30.-William
Reardop, Esq, in the Criminal Court
today rIised a point of law which
amous'ts 20 legal sensation. He was
defending Thomas McQUick, charged
with fsi;.;ry for falsely swearing to
t!ie acs ri lie woman he married, and
h:r. Hc"rt:,t, moved to quash the in
d:ccnIent al the ground that there
VAS 80 ~:.vh offence under the law as
n4aITidge license act was not in
80, and no license was required to
married.
Ihls caused Judge Magee to remark:
Why, Mr.. ReafdOn, you surely don't
make such statement in earnest"
Il do, your Honor, and | can prove
it. The marriage license act was
passed in 1885, and was amended in
1893. By that amendment, on and
after October l, 1895, parties desiring
to be married i'll this State must take
out license"
The acts of 1885 and 1893 were sent
for and read to the court. Judge
Magee said that if the act was cor
rectly printed, Mr.. Reardon was right,
and the present maria ge-license law
would not be in force until 1895. By
agreement of counsel certified copy
of the act was sent for and the trial
proceeded.
The point is new one, and if sus-
tained will make Pennsylvania a regu-
lar Gretna Green, as any one can then
be married in this State without a
license.

CHIEF JUSTICE SHEPHERD
An Unqualified Endorsement From a

RALEIGH. NJ. Nny. . ,a4

RALEIGH, N. c., Nov ., '94.
To the Editor OF the News & Observer:
Replying to your note of this date 1
have to say that l know of no reason
why should modify the opinion ex-
pressed concerning Chief Justice Shep-
herd in my interview which appeared
in the Charlotte Observer of June 24th
last. | spoke my honest convic-
tions then, and the time which has
elapsed since that date, has served to
strengthen the opinion then express
ed. 1t is the constant expression of
every lawyer who comes in frequent
contact with Chief Justice Shepherd
that he is entirely devoted to the per-
formance of the high duties which
pertain to the lOftiest judicial sta
tion OF the State, and in the discharge
OF these duties he seems totally blind
to the fact that, as Chief Justice, he is
the creature of any political party.
L do not know at this particular
time that | am called upon to answer
your letter, but as | am candid man
and do not retreat from a Judgment
deliberately made up and expressed, |
have felt that of the distinguished
official who is the subject of this cor
respondence, l ought to say this
much. | certainly could not say less
and be consistent.
Vesy respectfully,

The Baltimore Sun says: There is a
movement among former employees of
the Pullman Car Company, in Chi
cago, looking to their emigration TO
Alabama. The intention is to colon
ize in Baldwin county, in that State,
and go to farming. Meetings of the
workmen have been held in Chicago
to stimulate the sentiment for emf
grafton, with the result that many OF
the men promished to use their utmost
endeavors to have five hundred fami-
lies go from Illinois to Alabama. The
promoters of the scheme desire to
start in two weeks, If possible, in
order to avoid delay at this time OF
the year, which would mean long
wait for their first crops.

Now Than 1t Was One Year Ago
Facts That Cannot be Denied.
TIE SENTINEL's Kernersville cor
respondent writes as follows: After
having heard the howl of Republicans
andSPopulists on the increase of the
price of sugar. | called in at Messrs.
Beard & Roberts the other day and
asked the gentlemen if they held a
bill for sugar bought one year ago. al
so if they Lad one since the recent
tariff law went into effect, to which
the gentlemen replied they had. L
then asked to see them and they were
produced. One bill, OF date Nov. I'd,
1893, for sugar bought of Robert f.
Williams & Co., of Richmond, Va,
price s. 30 The other for sugar
bought Of the same firm OF date Oct.
16, 1894, price S496. This clearly
shows decrease in the price of sugar
to the amount of SO cents per hundred
pounds, in favor of the buyer and con-
sumner. Now who will have the au-
dacity to dispute such facts? This
shows conclusive1y that the howl of
the enemy is false and they know it,,
but are intending to deceive the peo-
pie and thereby ride into office, so
they can squander some more public
school funds.
