WASHINGTON, july pa flying
trip to New York and friendly talk
with Iammany man and county
Democracy man c0nyinces me that
somebody is trying very hard 80 work
up another "thiEd term Cleveland"
boom. Returning TO Washington last
night, | found that tic Washington
Post has copied Il special telegram
from the correspondent of the Char
lotte Observer tn the effect that Wade
Hampton had Let similar 'cat out
OF the bag" here. Wade Hampton is
annoyed that he should h;.Ye been the
medium through which tie secret
leaked out and his Repatriation Of the
interview confirms the truth of the
Observers report.
] heard great deal of this third
term talk in New York City | don't
believe Grover Cleveland inStigated
it. His garrul0us and interested old
friends and his shTeWd enemies are
making the most of it. | know his
interested old friendS-I mean fossil
Democrats who now hold sinecureS
worth thousands OF dollars-who will
be out Of Il job as soon as there is q
change IN the administration are do
ing all the talking and Cleveland's
shrewd and silent enemies are making
the most Of it. Clveland has said to
my knowledge that he did not want
a denomination aHd that Mrs. Cleye-
land did not want him to have it.
Iammany and the County Democ-
racy just now talks as if they favored
the candidacy Of the Hon. w. G. Whit
ney. Two things | learned in New
York with absolute certainty. First,
no man who does not favor ''sound
money! will receive the vote Of New
York. Second, the Empire State will
not support Cleveland or anyone else
fer Il third term" The precedent
established by George Washington
will not be broken, and if VIM. c..
Whitney is the nominee Of the party,
New York will spend great deal of
money TO elect him. He is q safe
tiuancier. Moreover, the ancient
race horses of the Democracy ought
to remember that they will fare as
well at Whitney's hands as they would
at ClcyelaEd's. Whitney was the
cause OF Clcveland's denomination at
Chicago. I.belieYe he is now Cleyc-
| lands choice for the Presidency.

WHIPPING POST.
How wife-Beaters Were Served IN
Maryland.

Maryland.
From the Baltimore Sun.
Since the Legislature of Maryland
established the whipping post in this
State for wife-beate-s, -four husbands
have been lashed for brutally assault
ing their wives. One OF those whip
ped was negro and the other three
were white men. The act was passed
at the session of 1882.
The first man whipped was Charles
Foote, cOiOTed, who was convicted OF
wife beating Nov. 20, 1882. He was
sentenced on the first Of the following
December t} receive thirty lasheo d6
the post and to be imprisoned for six
ty days. The number of lashes was
reduced to seven, which was the num-
Der inflicted.
It was not until June, 1885, that the
whipping post was again used. The
second man received twenty laSheS
and the third fifteen.
The last time the whipping post
was used was October 9, 1889, when a
man received thirteen lashes for as
saulting his wife. Since then there
have been 4 number of cases in which
wives were assaulted by their hus-
bands, but there have been no conVic-
tiOns under the statute prescribing
the whipping post as punishment
for the offence.
The whipping is done at the jail,
| under the direction Of the sheriff. In
each of the cases mentioned the lash
| was handled by the late Deputy
Sheriff George R0seman.

PECULIAR FEATS.
Death to Queer Young Man in Ca
barrus County.

Parties from the lower edge of Ca
barrus county tells the Concord Stan
dard of a young mans death under
very peculiar circumstances.
The young man whose name was
not learned, was effected by what he
ate to such an extent that when he
INDUCED in beef he would become
restless, wander out and below like
an OK, going down on his hands and
knees to eat grass like cow. After
he partook of mutton his actions were
those of a sheep, and he would bleat
like lamb. When he ate chickens
he would go out and scratch for
worms, which he devoured with appa-
rent relish. His father killed some
squirrels, of which the son ate hearth
ly. He left the house, followed by bis
father, who saw his son jumping from
limb to limb of tree, barking like a
squirrel. He called for him to come
down, but this only seemed to make
the boy want to escape, and he at
tempted to jump from one tree to an
other. He missed his footing, fell to
the ground and expired in less than
| five minutes.

Now the Marked Feature OF Trade,
Says Dsr. DUN.
New YORK, July Pr. c. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review OF trade, issued
today, says:
IL is not the season for the tide of
business TO rise, but there is perceived
scarcely any shrinkage except that
which comes naturally with mid
summer heat. The volume Of new
business is small compared with re-
cent months, bat large enough to
encourage more opening of long clos
cd works and more advances in wages
for labOrerS. Important strikes show
that the advance is not enough for
some, but seem not more thrcteaning
than q week ago.
Accounts of shrinkage in the yield
Of wheat come both from the Pacific
States and the Dakotas.
Prices OF iron and steel products are
still rising, the feature this week be,
ing the startling advance Of 80 cents
per keg in cut and wire nails, with
new cards for various sizes, which, it
is stated, make the advance actually
greater than it appears.
Textile works have a better outlook
with larger demand both for cotton
and wooden goods, a shade advance in
print cloths and in most blcached
goods and more hopeful market for
light weight WoolenS.
Failures for the week were 202 in
the United States against 240 last
year, and 27 in Canada against 80 last
year,

Lucky Gaugers and storekeepers.

On the Sd of August the 2,400 or
$500 gaugers and storekeepers in the
Internal Revenue service of the
United States will be placed under
civil service. Unless there should be
a change of administration in 1897,
and a Republican President should
then make a new order, these en-
ployees of the government will have a
long time to hold their places. 1t will
he a good piece of luck for the gaugers
and storekeeperS in North Carolina.
They will soon be embraced within

The Wilkesboro Chronicle is response
BILE for this snake story: About week
ago one night Jim Anderson, Esq, of
the Brushes, heard the old setting
hen at his barn squalling at a fearful
rate. lie went out to Investigate the
cause Of the trouble. On reaching
the nest he found all the eggs broken
but three, and the hen was missing.
He began searching for her and at
last found her about ten feet from the
nest lying down as if dead, with the
head of a large black snake sticking
out from under her wing. Noticing a
little closer he discovered that the
reptile had wound itself up around
the old hen and was squeezing her
with all its might. Mr.. Anderson
took pole and mashed the snakes
head into the ground, it began to
loosen it's grip, whereupon the old hen
began to come to life and futtered
away in the brush. The snake meas
ured five feet and five and one-hali
inches. This happened in that part
of the State Of Wilkes known as the
Brushes"

THE LEASE NOT RENEW ED
THE STATE OFFERED $273,OoO
ANNUALLY
BY the Southern for The North Caro-
lima Road-Do the Scaboard and
the Coast Line Want It?-
1icckEyiIfe and Mooresyilie.

The committee consisting of Prcsi-
dent S. 3. Alexander aud Directors
r f. UOke W. G. Maxwell, and Lee
S. Overnan, OF the North Garoli'
Railway, IN session at Raleigh, re-
ceiVed a proposition made on behalf
of the Southern Railway by Vice
President A. b. Andrews for further
lease of the North Carolina road from
1901, when the present lease will eX-
pirc.
Colonel Andrews offered the same
rental paid under the present lease
that is, 1928, 900 annually. The COM
mittce was not satisfied with this, and
so 30 agreement was arrived at. The
Southern did not make any prOpOst-
tion in regard to the equipment of
the division of the road between
Greensboro and Selma. There was
simply the proposition to renew the
lease on the present terms and nothing
more.
President Alexander says the con-
ference was of some length, and that
the matter was thoroughly discussed
in a friendly way, and that something
may or may not result. The commit
tee adjourned subject to the call of
the President.
1t is intimated that the Seaboard
Air Line and the Atlantic Coast Line
would also like tC lease the road.
1t is said by President S. B. Alex
ander, of the North Carlina Railway,
TO be his belief that the Southern
Railway will build link between
MOOreSville and MOckSVille, even if it
does renew the lease of the n. G. rail-
way.
