A BATTLE ROYAL.

Allacoochee the wonderful was never
more alive to the fact of its own i'm.
portance and prosperity than on n GER
tain day in September which had been
set apart and marked with a red letter
Rs the herald Of a new epoch in the his
tory Of the city. II was to be "blow-
ing-in" day at the Chiwassee furnace;
and the throbbing pulse of the great
blast-engines would thereupon open
new arteries Of industry, flowing with
currents of molten iron TO strengthen
and invigorate the thews and sinews of
the many-handed giant of labor.
There was to be an Industrial parade
and monster meeting in the afternoon
at the furnace, where q platform had
been built for the orators, and where
the train load Of capitalists and ex-
cursionists to arrive At noon would be
welcomed - the guests Of the city.
AZ an early hour in the morning the
streets were thrunged with visitors
moving in unique crowds under the
eayIy decorated awnings, or stopping
in sdmiring groups to stare at the
elaborate display Of bunting and flags
ornamenting the company's Offices in
the Guaranty building. In the anat-
omy Of Allscoochee, the Guaranty
building was the brain; and In one OF

EFFECT OF NEWS IN VAVANA.
Havana, August 9.-The news of the
assassination or Senior Canovas caused
great CONSERVATION here. On its receipt
about s o'clock last evening, the au-
thorities and man prominent local
politicians went to the palace Of the
captain general.
The tidings soon spread and his
morning there was wild excitement on
the stock exchange and throughout the
city. Stocks and shares fell considera-
bly,.
Consul General Fitzhugh Lee was
among the first to express regret and
sympathy. Captain General Weyler
still remains in the field. At first there
was acute anxiety with reference to
the political effect of the death of Can
ovas but when it became known that
General Azcarraga had assumed office,
confidence was restored and the effect
of it was soon manifested on the eX-
Shange.
All classes recognize the great loss
of Spain and acknowledge the ability
Of Senior Canovas. Further develop
ments are eagerly awaited. Little or

The Press of London Have Some Pretty
Hard Things to say About our Secretary
of State
London, August Accommodating on
the interview Of The New York World
with Secretary Sherman, The st.
James Gazette this afternoon says:
Secretary Sherman's u~tterances afford
no material for denial by his friends
Of the statement that he is suffering
from senile decay. But, after all, Mr..
Sherman represents America and we
are certain all international courtesies
will be observed" Continuing, The ST.
James Gazette refers to the KalnOky
incident, when it says: Austria prop
erly severed diplomatic relations with
Great Britain until Mr.. Gladstone apol-
Ogized for his attack on the dual mon
archy," and asks why there is one law
in Europe and another in America. In
conclusion the paper repeats it's recent
warning that this is a dangerous line
of policy to follow and that some. day
Great Britain nay call upOn Washing
ton to back up its bluff"
The Westminster Gazette, referring
to the same matter, remarks this af-
ternoon: The interview is a fruity
example of Sherman's saloon STYLE"
Inc GLOBE on this SUBJECT says to-
day: Secretary Sherman had better
rid himself Of the idea that Uncle Sam
is going to boss the show, either on the
gold fields or in the fisheries. We are
not ready to follow every quarrel with
blows; but, when we strike we strike
hard and the idea of our being afraid
of a third-rate naval power like the
United States could only have occurred
to a lunatic or to Mr.. Sherman. Judg-
ing from his latest performances we
nay charitably assume that the ru-
mors that Mr.. Sherman is suffering
from mental disturbances are correct"
The u~tterances attributed to Secre-
tary Sherman upon which the COM
ment of the London papers is based
were as follows:
England is a great country, but it
is not always safe to assume that she
is ready to follow up every quarrel
with blows. She -quarrels oftener than
h fights. 1t would be exceedingly
difficult for her to fight us all alone
about our seal catching. Russia and
Japan are in a similar position and any
quarrel between the United States and
England on this score would, in all
probability, involve those other two
nations"

Especial TO The Messenger.)
Raleigh, n. c.. August s.-Rumors
are afioat tonight h a there may be a
lively time Wednesday at the meeting
of the populist state committee here.
The old conflict. the irrepressible con-
fict between Butler and Skinner, comes
UP in a new form. This Is in the shape
of opposition to W. E Fountain. state
chairman. Skinnerites assert that he
is not chairman and that
when elected he vas an outsider and
not a member of the committee. III
is asserted that the ~Skinnerites on
the committee are Skinner n Theopn-
illus White. a. S. Peace. Amos, A. d. X.
Willis. Hamrick and r. A. Cobb. An
other calculation is that the commit
tee has eight Skinnerites. six Butterflies,
and the others doubtful. with a major
ity of them supposed TO be for Butler.
The latter is dead game and ready for
the fight. His motto just now is:
Those not with us are against us"
and h will do some plain talking.
1t is said here that earnest EFFORTS
are being made to get Russell and
Pritchard reconciled. The Grant n
Russell reconciliation is evidently in
complete. Russell will have to get off
his horse before he and Grant can
stand together. His horse is pretty
high and it turns out h a he did not
dismount at their conference atWrights

work we'll together and they will have
a powwow this week.

solicitors will be directed to prosecute

WASHINGTON, Aug. l6.-Acting Secretary

govern the manHuvres OF the battleships OF his

Admiral Sicard. Tho orders follow:

IL Just Rose Up, without Any Help. and Sailed
Away o Half Mile

From the Bdtarfd ~. ~ Sers.
CORFU. Aug. 1A-Sereral residents OF this
village witnessed a phenomenon which caused
much wonderment. Mrs. Smith. wife OF DIR.
Smith. was looking toward tho east from a win
dow OF her homo on Allegheny street. Central
Towerman Reynolds was looking north from
the windows OF his signal tower just east OF the
Allegheny street crossing. Mrs. Smith and
T~owerman Reynolds were about an eighth OF a
mile apart, but their gazes were carclessly lxed
upon the same point, a meadow which Is q part
OF the Stafford place and IS situated directly east
OF the Smith house.
1t was perfectly still. There wasn't enough
air stirring to move leaves on the trees. The
grass In tho meadow had recently been cut and
the lot was dotted with haycocks. Suddenly
the astonished beholders saw one OF these cocks
raised bodily and carried straight upward for Q
distance OF over 100 feet. Then It sailed of TO
the north over the business portion of the viii
lage. continuing at a height OF over 100 feet above
tho ground. and finally coming to terra frma
again near Evergreen Hill Cemetery. fully halt
q mile from the point whore 1t commenced its
aerial trip. Only a few spears OF grass dropped
from the cock as II flew through the air and 1t
retained its copioal form throughout Its dizzy
trip. Anumber OF people saw Il as 1t sailed over
the business section. No wind was blowing at
tho time,
