Richmond, Va. July S.-NeVer before
in its history, not even upon the occa-
sion of the nnveihi1g of the Lee monu-
ment in 1890, has Richmond seen such
a crowd within limits as that which has
assembled here yesterday beneath a
perfect sky, to witness the laying Of tine
cornerstone of the monument TO the
memory Of Jefferson Davis. 1t is the
last and greatest day Of the sixth an
nual reunion of the United Confederate
Veterans, which has brought to Rich
mCnd altogether about 10000 veterans.
besides thousands of other visitors. To-
days exercises have added 10000 visit
ors and young soldiers to the vast
throng.
Though the dedication of the corner
stone closed the reunion. there were
some minor exercises tonight, includ-
ing lecture by Gen. Rosser. This has
been the greatest reunion ever held.
and was remarked by good and coHser-
va.iye utteranres. No rash speeches
were made and there was no display OF

ALL IS CONFUSION.
THE VARIOUS IDEAS OF WHAT
THE CONVENTION WILL DO.
There is Likely to be Trouble over the Sc
lection Of a Temporary Chairman OF the
Conyeution-The silver Men are SIN
InmOXabie.

Chicago, H., July 1.-The executive
committee OF the national democratic
committee has decided to recommend
to the full committee that they proceed
in the usual way to designate a man for
temporary chairman OF the national
convention
1t is not yet eterm,ned whether the
executive committee Will assume the
responsibility Of naming the man for
this place, and that matter is still under
consideration. The decision to recon-
mend this course has been arrived at,
not in defiance of the request CT the sill
Yer men, but, it is claimed, because it
Is in accordance with the preCedents IN
the party. Still there was evidence that
the members Of the committee resent
the demand Of the silyerites as without
warrant, and it is believed that they
have reached the point where they pre-
fer the chances Of an open fight in the
| convention to submitting tamely to
what they look upon as unjustified dc
tation. There is no doubt that il the full
! national committee accepts the recon-
! mendation it will result in the precipt-
tation of liye,y skrmish on the floor
| of the convention on the threshold OF
| its proceedings. The silver men are
quite determined upon this point and
show no disposition to yield unless a
pronounced and we'll known silver man
should be named by the national COM
mittce, which there is GO reason to be-
lieve will be the case.
If a gold man is selected the silver
minority OF the national committee VIII
bring in report recommending a silver
man, and the first contest between the
gold and the silver forces viii be fought
out there and then.
1t has been intim3ted that in case az
fairs reach this state Chairman Hardy
of the national committee will refuse to
order a roll cal and WI arbitrarily
seat the gold candidate. Mr., Harrity's
friends say, however that he will pur-
sue no course that is not in acco.d with
preccdents and with his iQeas OF lair
ness
The silver men refuse 10 believe that
he would pursue such course, but
shake their heads ominously when ASK
ed what would result in case he should.
The gold men on the national COM
mlttee are not united upon a man 1oi
nresding officer, but they discuss names
more freely than do the silyerites, men
,, tioning those OF Senators Hil and Was
, and OF Hugh Wallace, member of the
national committee from the state O.

Bottled Up!

1t certainly is disheartening to a pa
tient to find that the treatment he is
given for a disease is more disastrous
than the disease itself. Such is the
case, however, with the usual treat
ment given for diseases of the blood.
Notwithstanding the great progress
made in many branches of medicine,
the doctors have failed absolutely to
find a successful treatment for blood
poison, and the many diseases having
their origin in the blood. They give
but one kind of medicine, they know
but one treatment, and whether in
the form of powder, pill or liquid, the
doctors prescription is always the
same-potash or mercury.
Too much cannot be said of the harm
full and disastrous effects of these drugs.
The doctors are unable to rid the sys-
tenn of the poison, and direct their
efforts toward covering up the symp-
toms from view. There is but one eff
feet to be obtained from potash and
rnercury-they bottle up the poison
and dry it up in the system, but it
must be remembered that they dry up
the marrow in the bones at the same
time, gradually consuming the vital
ity. Those disfguring copper-colored
sp1otcheS are but indications of worse
results to follow. No sooner has the
system taken on the full effects of this
powerful drug than that supp1eness
and elasticity of the joints gives way
to a stiffness, followed by the racking
pains of rheumatism. The form grad

OUR GRADED SCHOOL.

One thing Il at makes Colds

the Graded School is the senti
ment that pervades the COM

man, agree upon the advance

succeed. This is the temper ot
the people of Goldshoro towards
the Graded School There is the
exhibition Of broad minded pa
triotism on tt e part of certain OF
our leading citizens in favor OF
our schools that should serve
as an object lesson, not only to
the people, our people of the
present, bu. which should appe al
strongly to the magnanimity OF
future generations, we refer to
the fact that some Of our citizens,
notably two of them, whom we
need not name, who, though
they arc among the very largest
of our tax layers, and pay ans
nually large amouats to the sup
port Of the schools in addition
thereto have from the beginning
of our schools, given of their
personal attention, as memb bers of
the Board Of Trustees, to the up

ELECTRIC LIGHTS.

Pursuant to appoint the Street
and Light committee of the Board
of Aldermen of the City of Colds
boro met at the city hall Fri
day afternoon at 5 O'Clock, to con
slider the feasibility of purchasing
the plant Of the Electric Light
company of this city.
Mr.. S. Prank Alden, represent
ing the company, was present, and
explained the cost of maintaining
the plant. He said the total cost
for one year would not exceed
$3, 500, and that the city of
Goldsboro now paid 81, 800 of
that amount.
The committee were of the
opinion that the city would net
act wisely to buy the outfit, and ,
therefore, did not ask for the
terms of sale, or for the figures at
which the company would be will
ing to part with it.
1t seemed to be the concensus Of
opinion of the committee that the
city needed more arc lights. They
want to place arc lights at every
other corner on the principal
streets throughout the business
parts of the city, and leave the
incandescent lights on the outer
edge. With this end in view,
the committee asked Mr.. Al
den to investigate and find
out how many additional arc lights
would be necessary to thoroughly
light the city and approximate. the
additional cost.
Mr.. Alden said he thought his
company would incur the extra
expense, provided the city would
sign contract to use the lights
for term of three or five years.
The arc light at the yards OF
the Southern railway in this city
has been cut off, on account 0.
their refusing to pay for it. Mr.
Borden, of the committee, spoke
of this, and said further, that th'
w. & w. r. r. was now paying
for three lights along their lin'
through the city, an act that h
considered more than liberal, ane
for which they were to be com
mended.
The committee adjourned with
out taking any definite steps unit
Mr.. Alden hears from his com
pany in regard to additional ar,
lights and their cost.

the escape of three prisoners-all
that were therein contradiction
the county Jail last night; the
doors being locked, and no evi
dence of how they got out
The Sheriff is of the opinion that
duplicate keys must have been
fixed up by an outside expert. as
the keys did not leave his posses
sion from the time the Jail
was locked last evening until he
opened it this morning for the
purpose of giving the prisioners
breakfast. There are no signs
Of escape. All the windows and
bars are intact and secure, and
only through the front door,
which, too, was found securly
locked this morning, could the
prisoners have gone out.
There was only one prisoner
Of any consequence in the Jail,
and he was committed for hog
stealing. under a $40O bond,
awaiting trial at the next term of
court His case was an import
ant one, in that he had carried on
a regular traffic in the hog steal
ing and selling business, and it
is surmised. that, had he .'open-
ed up at the trial some start
ling revelations" would ensue.
But sheriff Scott is not one to
be outdone. He will have his
prisoners again. They cannot
escape him. He is not going to
leave an effort untried to recapt-
ure them.
