Mecklenburg's Road.

The construction Of macadamized
roads around Charlotte, N. c., is still
being pushed, and in view Of the ef-
feet of good roads upon Mecklenburg
county, the following data with refer
ence to road-building in that county,
given by the engineer in charge Of the
work, will be of interest.
Most of the stone is furnished by
the farmers, the county paying 40
cents per cubic yard for the stone
piled on the road at designated places.
A small proportion of the stone is
quarried by the convicts.
The road costs about $4,000 per
mile.
The county now has about 33 miles
of Grst.class macadamized roads.
The humber Of convicts now 1engag-
ed in road d-building is about 80.
It costs the county about 25 cents
per day for each coneict maintained
and worked on the roads. This cost
includes food, clothing, shelter and
guarding. The convicts live in camps
at points along the road near where
the road building is beip~ done. The
shelter is a cheap structure Of wood
and canvas, something better than a
tent.
The advantages of using convict la
Dor are:
l. That an organized force can be
better maintained than could be done
with free labor for road building.
2. It is cheaper than free labor would
be.
3. 1t frees the county from the ex-
pense of keeping prisoners withoutany
return value.
4. 1t engages convict labori in health
full occupation without bringing 1t IN
competition with free labor.
s. 1t is the best possible punish
ment for the common criminal.
a 6. 1t cures the tramp nuisance.
N. The result (good roads, is a bcnc-
faction.
The county owns crushing plant,
consisting of stone crusher, 40
horse power engine and boiler. 1t also
owns heavy steam roller, screening
apparatus, carts, mules, etc.
Lands in the county have been ma
tcrially increased in value as re-
suit of the improved condition Of the
roads.
Many new settlers have been at
tracted by the new roads.
Considerable capital has been invest
ed in enterprises in Charlotte because
of the good impressions made by the
good roads leading out Of the city.
The road-building is done entirely
by convict labor, except only few
skilled workmen.

touch than the left, is less sensible
than the latter to the effect of heat or
cold. If you dip both hands simulta-

The War Department has charge of
the ceremonies and Secretary Lamont
has decided upon the features Of the
program. The night Of September 10
has been set apart for the Union and
Confederate armies of Tennessee, and
the night Of the Goth for the armies of
the Potomac and of Northern Vir-
ginia. The Northumberland and
his staff and large body Of regular
troops will attenu. The day Of the
18th will be taken up by the formal
announcement of the opening Of the
park by the War Department two
orations by speakers Of national promi-
nence, one from the South and one
from the North, and a great parade of
all the veterans. The dedicatory ex-
ercises will be continued on the goth,
with special relation to the fierce bat
ties of Lookout mountain and Mis-
sionary Ridge. Should rain fall on
these days the exercises will take
place at Chattanooga under huge
tent, capable of sheltering many thou
sands.
Congress will attend through the
presiding officers Of both Houses,
the joint committee on park dedica-
tion, the Senators and Representatives
who served in the Chattanooga cam
paign and others who may be named
by the presiding officers of both
Houses.
OF the forces in the Chattanooga
campaign Rosecrans had under him
129 regiments of infantry and SO regi-
ments of cavalry and artillery; Bragg
had 1873 regiments Of infantry and "a
Of cavalry and artillery ; Grant had
200 regiments Of infantry and 81 Of
cavalry and artillery ; Gen. James B.
Longstreet, who commanded the Con-
federate left wing in the Chicamauga
battle, will take prominent part in
the coming celebration, as will also
Gen. A. ?. Stewart, one Of his bri-
gade commanders. Gen. Stewart did
much of the work of laying out the
park, having been appointed COM
missioner for that purpose by former
Secretary of War Proctor.
Ohio intends to make the greatest
show of any of the States. Gov. Nc
Kinley and his staff will be there,
accompanied by full National Guard
regiment and the Cleveland trooIs.
Tents will be taken along by these
commands, which will camp on the
Chicamauga fields during the celebra-
tion.
The old soldiers will find a touch Of
realism in the field in the shape Of
$50 mounted cannon, which have been
distributed so that they mark the posi-
tions Of the various batteries. Chief
of Ordinance Gen. D. W. Flagler and
his assistant captain, V. McNally,
ransacked all of the arsenals in the
country to procure the old cannon used
in these fights, obtaining guns used by
thirty-fve Union and thirty-nine Con-
federate batteries. They are mounted
on cast iron carriages, painted so as to
represent those used in the battle.

velope attracted the attention of the
authorities, who opened it and found
that it contained particulars regarding
the strength of the French garrison,
the number of sick, etc. The envelope,
1T is further stated, also contained an
enclosure addressed to E. Underwood
Harvey, editor of the Madagascar
News, asking the latter to insert it in
that paper. This enclosure, it is
stated, contained abominable calumnies
regarding the conduct of the French
soldiers on the island of Madagascar,
and denounced two of Mr.. Walters
compatriots, honorable American mer-
chants, who were going to Antanana-
rive, as being spies in the pay of
France. The trial of Mr.. Waller only
lasted three hours and three quarters,
at the end of which he was condemned
to twenty years Imprisonment. Mr..
Waller appealed against this sentence,
but it was eventually confirmed.
According to the correspondent of
the Temps, it was a son-in-law of Mr..
Waller, Paul Bray, native of Texas,
and not his nephew, who accompanied
him on board the Djemnah. Bray it
is added, was expelled from the island
of Madagascar for constant hostility
to the French authorities. Bray, it is
stated, in conclusion, was handed over
totthe American consul at Zanzibar.

WASHINGTON, April %. - The
statement which Secretary j. Ster-
ling Morton gave to the press last
week of his views upon the financial
question has been interpreted by the
press very generally as an utter
ance made upon behalf of the preSi-
dent, and expressing the presidents
attitude. This Inference was based
largely upon the circumstance that
Secretary Morton made public his
statement SO soon after his return
from the White house, where he
had been in conference with the
president and members of the cab
met at the regular cabinet meet
ing. The surmise, however, was
proven today to be i-co-rect by de-
malls which were made by both
President Cleveland and Secre-
tary Morton. The presidents state
ment, which was given to the Asso-
tary, Thurber, follows:
The president, when asked this
evening whether Secretary Morton's
interview upon the money question
might be regarded as representing
his views, replied:
Il am in no manner responsible
for Mr.. Morton's interview, and
knew nothing of it until 1 read it in
the newspapers. When 1 have seen
tit to say anything to the people on
the money question or any other
subject, 1 have thus far found it
quite easy to do so directly and on

PIT EXCITED.
WAY UP IN THE MILLIONS

Wheat Up Over Two Cents
at the Opening bound.

NEW YORK, April 22.-The activity
and strength in wheat today brought
to mind the scenes of other days, when
fluctuations of three to five cents and
transactions in eight figures were COM
mon. The market opened 21s cents
higher at one bound, when an excited
trading ran sales up to over 49,
C00,00O bushels by noon, and to 1895 600
bushels for the entire days business.
Local shorts, whose margins gave out,
were the most eager of the early buy
ers, but brokers had big orders from
outside spectators and European OPP
orators, which were all one way, and
prices shot right up to G57s cents for
May, against 63% cents, the final fig
ures of Saturday. No one seems able
to explain the advance, beyond that it
is a result of overflow of bull senti-
ment with which the market has been
charged for two weeks or more past.
At noon the market was Il cent off
from the top, under heavy offerings
of long wheat, but all the strength re-
turned again in the afternoon, and, with
increased activity, values moved UP to

SAN DIEGO, Cal, April -22-The
revenue cutter Commodore Perry ar
rived in port after an eventful voyage
of 122 days from New York. Capt.
Smith received orders at Acapulco to
hurry to San Francisco to outfit for
Boring sea as soon as possible, and
will sail at daybreak Tuesday morn
ing.
In an interview the captain said:
I'VE arrived at Callao March "a. I'M
mediately sent an officer to the Amer
lean consul general, Jastremski, plac-
ing gig at his disposal. He came
off in great excitement, saying that
American interests were in danger and
that Americans were liable to lose
their lives, unless protected. He told
mo of the attempt to burn the Amer
lean legation at Lima. l Immediately
detailed officers, twenty-five men and
rapid fire gun with thirty rounds of
ammunition, to aid Gen. Jastremski
whenever circumstances should re-
ouire. 1 went to Lima and visited
American Minister Mckenzie. At
Lima there were evidence of fighting
at every hand. The streets were lit
tered with lime to destroy the stencil
made by the bodies, and 1 saw about
1,5O0 bodies of men slain the day be-
fore. The street in front of the lega-
ton was closed by a barricade on
either side of which had been placed
the rapid firing guns of the Caceristas
and Moneteros. The shot flew like hail
in the vicinity and the walls of the
American legation were pierced. Mrs.
Mckenzie had been standing near the
window, looking out, when her hus-
band called her away and as she
turned shot passed the spot where
she had been standing. Life was
cheap, native or foreign, and Mr.. Nc
Kenzie sent his wife and two other
American ladies out of the country on
a New Orleans steamer.
81 received a letter from Mr.. Nc
Kenzie thanking me for the protection
of the American consul and notify
ing me that in his judgment the pro
Visional government was established
formally enough to prevent further
outbreaks. Gen. Jastremski also wrote
me a cordial letter of thanks, in which
he intimated that the little revenue
cutter was an invaluable aid at the
juncture in preventing harm to Amer
lean interests at Callao. [ according

Passses Resolutions.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 22.-The ST.
Louis Livestock Exchange took oflclaI7
action on the alleged beef combine to-
day and wired it's resolutions to Secre-
tary of Agriculture Morton. The pre-
amble refers to the rumored~ combine
among the packers based upon the
proposed or actually taken 1nvestlga-
ton by the department of agriculture,
that such agitation is extremely harm
full to the livestock traders, resulting
in q reduction in the price of live cat
tie of at least 81 per hundred pounds
in the past two weeks. it is resolved
that the exchange invites speedy ana
thorough investigation of the alleged
beef combine with view of settling
the question in the most efficacfous
manner; thus permitting the livestock
business to resume its normal con-
dition. Be it further resolved, that TO
the best of our information and bellef
based upon fair opportunity for OBJ
tanning accurate information there is
a shortage in the visible supply OF
cattle to be marketed in 1895, which is
sufficiently responsible for the advance
in the price of cattle and that to our
certain knowledge the benefits SO far
accrued from this condition have gone
to the cattle raisers and feeders more
than to any other parties interested.
Another resolution was adopted ask
ing the National Livestock Exchange
to call a meeting of it's executive COM
mittee at the earliest possible day to
take action looking to a speedy in
vestigation of the alleged beef COM
bine so that the truth be known and
published.

the entire business portion OF

destroyed by a fire of supposed IN
cendiary origin, which broke out at
4 a. M The fire started in Peterson's
grocery, on Railroad street, and in
thirty minutes had spread over the
entire block. The borough is wholly
without fire apparatus. and bucket
brigade was the only resistance to
the flames. From Railroad street,
the town runs back over hill of
considerable isteepness. About. the
time the flames began to spread, a
high wind arose and drove the
flames up the hillside, with the re-
suit that everything in its path
was destroyed. The following is a
partial list of the losses, as many
residences and business properties
are not enumerated, their owners
and occupants being scattered:
Peterson's grocery, the First Ma
tional bank building, three-story

shops, two hardware stores and a
butter store. $50!
The town is panic-stricken, and
it is impossible to secure All accurate
estimate of individual losses. By
reason of the lack of water and
fire apparatus, but little insurance
was carried by property owners in
the burned district, as the insurance
companies We're chary of taking
risks, and the premiums are so
high as to be about prohibitiYe.
The Allegheny Bessemer Steel
works We're shut down as soon as
the extent of the fire was apparent,
and the workmen were organized
into bucket brigades to fight the
flames. Owing to the rapid head

1t is now estimated that the loss
will amount to about $50, 900. AL
though there were large number
of buildings destroyed, yet they

JOAQUIN MILLER AS LoTHARIo.
The Poet Mixed Up in a Hawaiian
Scandal.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 22.-Joa-
quin Miller, 1.-The poet of the Sierras, &"
who is notable for his eccentricities
of apparel, as well as for the qualities
of his verse, figures as a tickle lover
in n tale which has been waited
by Southern breeZes from the Hawai-
ian islands. The name of the young
woman connected with the poet in
the gossip is ARABIA Miller Oliver
She is about seventeen years of age.
and her freshness and beauty con-
trast with the advancement in life of
the famous poet.
The story from the islands is that
Miller abandoned the young woman.
who is soon to become a mother. and
that she is now wholly dependent on
charity. She is living with a native
family, and has been waiting in vain
for assistance from Miller. When he
arrived in Honolulu, he represented
that she was his daughter, the re-
port stated. Jotquin Miller was ad-
verse to agreeing to discuss the aceu-
sation when visited by a reporter yes
terday. He did not want to enter
into any dispute with the girl, in or
der to defend himself, and was willing
that her statements go uncontradict-
ed. 1t appears that he Is still fond of
her, and from a remark which he
dropped, it was inferred that he might
return to Honolulu, if he can do so
with safety, for the purpose of seeing
