the assertion on the authority of
the confederate archives" that
., 022, or more than half of the
whole number Of Confederate sol
diers who surrendered at Appomat
toX. were North Carolinlans. 1t
adds: eve think it probable that
the comment made Is erroneous;
that the regiments, etc., that sur
rendered had once contained 100, OJO
men or over. North Carolina had
some sixty five regiments Of infant
ry, besides artillery land battalious
OF infantry, and yet it never fur
nished more than 125, 900 men. The
Roster calls for over 1870, 900, but, as
Is we'll known, great many names
are duplicated. But the State had
really between 1874, 900 and 126, 600,
and after losing more than any
other State, as the Confederate rec
ords show, it surrendered more at
Appomattox."
The Old North State has a proud
record In the history OF the Coz,
federacy. Nobly did she give of her
treasure Of men aud money, aud

Inspectors Report Result of Investi-

SGttci III tthhueiI'hla.
Harrisburg, Nov 25.-The sweatshup
evil in Philadelphia is giving Chief Factory
Inspector Campbell much concern.
W. j. Milligan, William Ii. Day, John r.
Emsley, and James Knight, jr.. four Of the
inspectors, have just submitted c,nso.i-
dated report Ia the department regarding
their invest igations in Philadelphia. On
July 10 they began-tlieir Investigations in
the Second police district. where the sweat
ers are largely made up of foreigners, whose
language the inspectors could not under
stand. Interpreters were assigned by Dir
rector Bcitler.
The report states that the inspectors found
the work rooms vile and in every way un-
favorable for the heplth of the sweaters,
as well as injurious ID the community, and
fraught with great danger, of the spread
of disease in case nf epidemic. The III ws
were being violated In every particular,
Second police district. About ninety per
cent were found in dwellings and tcne-
ment houses in violation of law. The
inspectors report that they also visited
many places which the la W does not reach
places where only families are employed.
There they found the conditions just as vile
Rooms were used as workshops that ought

dons were found to be much the same
as in the Second district, with the eX-
ception that in this district were found

furnished work to the sweat shops.
-IneSe wnOleSalerS were requested to
furnish the inspectors with list of
those to whom they gave garments to
be made up in their homes or outside
shops. Many cheerfully complied with
the request, and those who declined sup
piled the lists when they were acquainted
with the law and the purpose of securing
the list.
In the Third district eco places were
visited. The deputies say: LAS the la
is new, and many OF those we visited had
no knowledge of it, an immediate enforce

HORRIBLE FATE OF PERDUE
Details of the Lynching of the
Georgia Graduate of Yale.
Grand Jury Finding, Shoot and
Mapyle the Professor.

Atlanta Nov. 25.-The latest news from
Mount vernon, where the lynching of Prof
L. W. Perdue occurred, says there is great
deal of excitement in the community. The
officers are loud in their determination to
run down the lyDcherS, but it is generally
believed they are known, and on account oi
their prominence will escape indictment by
the grand Jury even if caught.
Advices received today give additional
details of the affair aud more definite i'll

previously stated, he was In Jail charged

a cell while the mob waited upon Prof.
Pcrdue.
When the foreman OF the mob called
out for Pcrdue three loud and despairing
cries OF murder" wereheard.
Prof. Perdue was taken from the Jail and
dragged about two miles through the
woods. Some OF the mob went back to
the Jail later and released Sheriff Nc

BECAUSE SHE TAUGHT DANCING
Young Lady Violently Denounced From
Camden PuIptt

Camden, n. j., Noy. 25.-Some of the
members of the First. NJ. F. Church are
deeply grieved over what they say was
an uncalled for depouncement of an es-
timable young woman by Rev DR.. j. B.
Graw, pastor of the CHURCH. The young
woman's offense consisted of teaching her
younger sister and several of her girl
friends the art of dancing.
Miss Carrie Mead is one of the members
of the Broadway NJ E. Church. A few
weeks ago her sister Edna, a girl fifteen
years of age, asked Miss Carrie to teach
her and one or two of her young friends
to dance. Miss Mead consented and the
dancing lesson began Last Sunday night
Miss Mead accompanied Mr.. and Mrs
Murray, the parents of one OF the young
girls she is teaching. to the First Church
and had the misfortune of hearing her
self denounced In flaming language.
In the course of a sermon directed against
the theater and dancing and other terrible
evils, Rev. Dr. Graw said he had heard
of a young lady who had formed a dane
ing class and was taking the pure and
innocent children of the Sunday-school and
teaching them the terrible thing. He
likeued such young lady to the tiger with
Its soft, smooth fur, aud Its deadly claws
lurking beneath. Continuing this line the
preacher said: "If that young lady is in
the congregation all have to say is that
she is fooli''
Miss Mead was so astounded that she
could scarcely sppeak after the meeting,
but since then her brother, Alfred Mead,
has taken the matter up, and says DIR.
Graw has not heard the last. of it by any
means.

1t may or not be a good omen for the
Senate. but the fact is, that one of the
first bills to be presented to that body
Will be one to make those who die pay
for their own funerals Senator PETER
has prepared the bill to that end. but said
last night that all manner of absurd things
about the bill unauthorized by him had
been telegraphed over the country. and
which he desired to have corrected.
He recently made a request for the cost
Of funerals of Congress sional members for
nearly the past century, but circum instances
have blocked the investigation, at lea st, so
far as the house is concerned. 1t was
stated yesterday at the Capitol that Clerk
Kerr of the House, had communicated with
Senator Peffer that he could only furnish
the cost of burying Congress smcn for the
past four years.
1t is said that the rea son for this is that
in past years these grewsome accounts were
kept by various officers of the House. and
that the collection of data would be the
work of a life time. The secrets of the
House are therefore as safe as the private
funeral expense accounts of the Montagues
aud Capulets. Senator Peffer, when u SIX
ed about this. said that he had merely
received letter yesterday morning from
the Clerk of the House.
COST OF ONE FUNERAL.
= IL is determiuabe from the records, how
ever, that the average expense of laying
to rest dead Congressman with his fore
fathers aud mothers is about 81, 500, and
that there has been no variation from this
Jeffersouian sepulchral simplicity for tue
last half century.
In the Senate 1t is different The work
of having Senator Peffer furnished with
the information he desired fell to the genial
Col. Nixon, whom men OF all parties love-
He is the disbursing officer of the Senate
and has been rendered his place repeatedly
by Democratic and Republican administra-
tons alike for any number OF years. The
data were obtained from the Senate Con-
gressional library. Senator Peffer said
that the figures had not yet been sent to
him.
There will be, however. a great disap-
pointment to those who had expected to
have discussed In the Senate the amount
of wine bills, the cost of sashes, flowers,
carriages, and the customary suits of solemn

WHAT THE SENATOR MEANS.
Therefore his bill provides that only in
eases of death right here at the Capital
shall the Senate superintend the details.
Instead of a cnnmittee the body is To be

Senator Pferfer is uf the opinion that the
funerals as heretofore conducted are only
matters of custom, which can well be dis
pensed with and that his bill provides a
certain manner in which the Senate can
discharge its duty at least expense
