SOUTHAMPTON, Eng, Oct. 25.-The
steamer Paris, from New York, which
arrived last night. reports having en-
countered terrific weather with noun
famous seas. On The morning of October
"a, at 1:30 o'clock during the height Of
the storm, she came into collision, 80
miles west from the Scilly islands, with
full rigged ship, the name Of which it
was impossible to learn. The officers OF
the Paris believe the sailing vessel was
cut completely in two. The Paris stood
by for five hours until daybreak with her
boats in readiness to rescue any of tie
crew of the unfortunate vessel. but saw
no trace of the ship.
The vessel was struck amidships and
thought must have foundered immed-
ately, all hands on board going down
with her. The lookout on board the
Paris believes the sunken vessel to have
been ship OF about $500 tons. She
was not seen until the Paris was so close
to her that it was impossible to avert
the collision. The bow plates of the
Paris were slightly indented, but other
wise she was not injured.
IN A REPUBLICAN STRONGHOLD.
"A Very Small Turnout In the Dukes
Honor.
MARS HILL, N. c., Oct. 25.-This has
been the grandest day tor Crawford and
Democracy ever witnessed in the Reput-
lican county of Madison. At an early
hour this morning we we're met at
Whitt's store midway between here and
Marshall by large cavalcade of horse
men, and by the time we reached Mars
Hill the procession was over tkree quar-
ters Of a mile long
Pearson sent men out inevery direction
last night to drum up crowd, but it
would have made his henchman, Har-
rison Brown, red behind the ears to have
seen it with DR.. Harris at the head. The
Doctor had his few men in line. and when
the great Crawford procession passed
you could have seen faces lS inches long
without turning your head. BY and bv
Pearson drove up with his little handful
OF men, and after driving under the
Crawford banner. quietly retired to his
hotel and took dose of some kin of
nervine.
Pearson was expecting grand upris-
ing of the people at Marshall Yesterday,
and early in the morning went up to
Gen. Pritchard's to wait tor the boys to
call on and escort him to TIE court house
at the proper time. But when the hour
TOR speaking arrived Maj. W. w. Rollins,
who is always present on such occasions,
was appointed committee to show the
Duke down town again.
lfPearson carries Madison county this
year he will have to shell out the money,
and that before the ballots are deposited.
Crawford's speech here was one that
will be remembered by the good people
OF Mars Hill for Years. Pearsons little
three-legged platform would not stand
on the hills OF Madison county, where
pure Republicanism has stood king for
so many years. He made a desperate
onslaught on the Catholic church and
tried to prejudice the Christian people
against Crawford, but he made Il com
plete failure and the crowd went away
disgusted with his effort.
This closes the campaign in Madison
and from the best information | can
gain, the Democrats have never been in
better shape. G. ". 7.
