CREMATE0 IN BED.
A Scion of Noted Alabama Family, s. M. Da-
 vidson, Meets Terrible Death.

Charlotte, N. C., Nov. 10.-Mr. s. NJ Davidson, son of MT. Robert F. David son, of this city, was burned to death at 7:15 tonight at his home on Pine street.
 There was no one in the house at the time the fire broke out. Just how he met his death is unknown. There are two theories, one that he knocked the lamp over, setting fire to the bed on which he was lying, the other that he lay down with a lighted cigar in his mouth and fell asleep.
 His father, who is quite old, entered the house g. few minutes after the flames burst out. He was burned about the head in trying to save his son.
 The Davidsons are g. prominent fam- fly in this section. They come of revolu- tionary stock, and have many relatives in Georgia, Alabama and Florida.

The aver age yield in the principal states is as follows:
 New York, 32.5; Pennsylvania, 360; Ohio, 32.5; Indiana, 2s.0; Illinois, 315; Iowa, 290; Missouri, 25.0; Kansas, 190; Nebraska, 29.0 The average per c:nt of quality is 94.3 as compared with 94.7 in November of last year.
 The average yield p=r acre of tobacco is 646 pounds against 679 pounds per acre last year and 743 pounds in 1895. The estimated average yield per acre of Irish potatoes is 64.6 bushels, as com par.d with S6.8 bushels fast year and 1907 bushels in November, 1895.

 noon on Fh1day, it having been deaayed | by beBated reports from several impor- tant districts.

 of Europe, and the condition of crops

MURDERED AND ROBBED.
A Philadelphia Prest's MutiIated Body Found
 in an Area.

Philadelphia, Nov 10-The body of Rev. Henry J. McPake, an assistant priest of the Church of the Annuncietion at Tenth and Dickinson streets, was found this morning lying in an area way in the rear of St. Paul's academy, on Christiai street, above Ninth. The right side of the skull was fractured and his nose was broken and there was bruises on the forehead.
 The police are convinced that the priest was murdered and the fact that his watch and purse which he had last night, aae missing, lends strength to the theory. There is not the slightest clue to the murderer.

PEACE REIGNS
 SPAIN IS HAPPY

 counltry he expressed himself as little ac- quainked with the conditions here, but as to those in Madrid he spoke freely.
 No Crisis Expected
 "The feeling there Is one of expectan- cy," said he, in good English, but with marked SpanisIh accent, ''but there is little or mo feeling That a serious crisis will present. itself bitween the United SItates and Spatn, and there IS no thought in we'll informed circles that extreme measures, or a. resort Ito war will Ge- suit. On the contrary, the action of the Spanish government has given every hope of a conltbnua nee of the most friend fy relations With the United States, and of a satisfactory conclusion of the Cuban confidt.
 "A complete change of policy has re- suited from the accession of the liberal ministry and the aggressive policy exc cuted by General Weyler is now succeed ed by more conciFiatory methods of that peaceful soldier, General Blanco. He has but just landed in Cuba, and there is but little opportunity thus far to judge of the mild and beneficial policy he is charged with executing, but we, in Madrid, who know his high character and ithIe desires of those who send him, feel assured that good results will come of his mission.
 The Autonomy Is Genuine
 "As to the autonomy which Spain now offers to Cuba, it Is autonomy of the genuine character, and it is rendered in tthe sincerest good faith, believing that it affords the surest guaranty of restor- ing peace to Cuba and giving prosperity to the island. In all tnternal affairs the autonomy now offered will give the Gu ban people entire freedom in shaping their own affairs. With such policy in view, and with General Blanco to put it into execution there is every assur- ance that Spain will do all in her power to restore peace and prosperity in Cuba. Moreover we look with confidence on the success of that policy. We are nat uraIly desirous that our friends in the United States should recognize the com plete change of policy which has occur red, and should cooperate with us dn having it bring the beneficial results we Nook for"
 sagasta's Reply Satisfactory
 It R5 Statcu ou Soou dutirWlty tib1t Premier Sagastas reply to Minister Woodfor's note, the full text of which was read at yesterdays cabinet meeting, is emlnently satisfactory to this govern ment. In it the Spanish ministry pledges itself to couwect the abuses of power in Cuba. which was the subject of so much complaint during the Weyler admfnistra- tfon and gives assurances of its friendly feeling towards the American people. It accepts our good offices in it's efforts to restore peace an Cuba and tn perfectly respectable friendly spirit asks this gov- ernment. so far as is possible. to restrann the insurgent sympathizers in the United States frnm giving material support to the enemies of Spain in Cuba.

One's physical feelings like the faithful setter. search and point out plainly the fact of disease or health.
 If a man is not feeliug well and vigorous if he is losing flesh and vitality, if he is hstless, nervous, sieepless, he certainly Is not well. The down hill road from health to sickness Is smooth and declines rapidly.
 At the first intimation of disease, the wise man takes a pure, simple vegetable tonic. It puts his digestion into good ac- tive order and that puts the rest of his body in order. The medicine that will do this is a medicine that is good to take in any trouble of the blood, the digestion, or the respiration, no matter how serious it may nave become.
 The medicine to take is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery It is a remark able remedy. It cures diseases in per. fectly natural way, without the use of strong drugs. It cures by helping Nature. It has peculiar tonic effect on the lining membranes of the stomach and bowels. By putting these membranes into healthy condition, stimulating the secretion of the various digestive juices and furnishing to the blood the proper purifying properties, t reaches out over the whole body and drives disease-germs before it into the usual excretory channels It builds up firm muscular flesh, makes the skin and the eyes bright.
 Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has been found wonderfully efficacious in the treatment of skin diseases eczema, tettef, erysipelas, salt-rheum-from com mon pimples or blotches to the worst case of scrofula.

 The answer as previously stated. doss rot contain a sentence that could offend | or could be construed into an expression of unlEiendly feeling or purpose against the government of the United States On the contrary the note is stated to be distinctly conc4liatory in tone although insisting upon the right and duty eff Spa9n to put down an armed insuarection with in its ofn territory. It Is evident that the reply has made a favorable impres- sion upon President Mckinley and the members of the cabinet, and it is not unlikely that one of the features of the preside nt's coming message to congress will be a discussfon of the subject from which it is inferred that there is nothing in the situation to justify present 1n- reference on the part of the United States.

Conductor Adams delivered his
charge to the superintendent at the

ton she received at that dignitary's
hands was not exactly what poor Meg
had feared when she started from the
junction. And the reception the super
intendent gave the crew of the fiat train
when they came in to report was not
exactly what they had expected, either.

which the passengers on the accommo-

alike, and has proved the most unfavora-
bic feature of the week. The uncer ain
ty harnesses every one and has resulted
in a curtailment of speculative operations
in ali the markets of the world. The
weather in the south has become more
favorable, and the anxiety caused by the
rise in the Mississippi is less pronounced.
The strong bull factors have, therefore,
begun to lose their force and yet the mar
ket shows no real weakness. The small
net decline since last Saturday is due more
to the lack of interest in the market than
to any other one cause. The movement
of supplies is now small enough to satisfy
the bulls The new preparations are very
backward and it seems quite certain that
while the size of the next yield may not
be curtai.ed by the delay, the crop will be
a late one. In the face of the strong po-
sition of cotton and the good demand for
spots, oecasioned by the Improvement in
business at the spinning centers, it does
not seem prudent to us to sell cotton
short"
New York, March 27.-The Sun says of
cotton: "Stagnation was the only feature
of the speculation in cotton to-day. The
tone was easier, on the Chronicles weekly
weather report but owing to the intense
dullness, the decline was trifing. The
receipts were light, and the movement for
the week is expected to be small, the total
receipts at the ports being estimated at
5000 to $4,000 bales. The total world s
