For many years, railroads have had an
undue influence IN North Carolina legis-
latures. 1t has been a scandal and a
source OF shame TO the good people of
the State and has given us bad reputa-
4ion abroad as a corporation ridden State.
Indeed we never have entirely gotten
rid of the faint of 1868 when the Rail-
road Presidents, through SwepsGn and
Littlefield, bodily bought up the Repubh-
cam majority i'm the Legislature. From that
time ON, the railroad lobbyists have seem
I'd to count on the Republican contingent,
as more or less their hereditary right. But
never till now did the corporations deem
their ownership Of the legislature so per-
feet, that they could delegate it's control
to private secretary!

Antiseptic Qualities in Coins.

1t is a well-known fact that paper
money is liable to transfer bacteria
from one person to another, and thus
to spread contagious diseases. It's also
supposed that coins, which are more in
circulation than notes, might similar
ly act as agents for spreading disease,
and Investigations in that direction
were made at the Vienna university
when Austria changed it's currency to
the gold basis. A report about his OBJ
servations was recently published 10y
DR.. Vincent in the Vienna Medical Ga
zette, in which he states that metals
act, so to speak, as antiseptics in regard
TO bacteria, or microbes, the fact being
that these microscopic organisms have
but very short lease of life while on
metals. The destroying influences Of
metals increase with their temperature,
and also with the close touch of the
micro-organisms with the metal. At a
temperature of 95 to 100 degrees Fahren-
heit, which is common in the pockets
where money is carried, the destruction
of microbes occurs within three hours.
The various metals used for coins are
somewhat different in this respect, sill
yer being the most antiseptic and gold
the least. Copper and bronze hold
about the middle between the two more
precious metals. ~ st. Louis Globe
Democrat.

In the forward march of science na-
lures methodsare being closely inflicted
in the laboratories of the synthc;i'al
chemist who has already been able TO
make an artificial quinine which con
tains most of the therapeutical proper
ties of the real article. Two German
chemists working in Berlin have Just
produced an artifcially prepared caf-
feline, the alkaloid to which both tea
and coffee owe their refreshing stmu-
lating and analgesic properties.
AS may be readily Imagined, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer, the process by
which this has been done is exceedingly
elaborate and costly, but the discover
ers arc not without hope that they viii
be able to simplify and cheaper it so as
to bring it within the region OF practical
economies. as has been done with many
of the coal-tar preparations which,
though now exceedingly cheap, were
very expensive when first produced,
Should the anticipations of these two
gentlemen be realized a cup of tea or

REV. DIR. FAIRS MOTHER DEAD.
Her Death May Prevent His Coming
to Savannah sunday.

Richmond, Va, March 16.-Rev. DR..
James Y. Fair the eloquent Presbyterian
divine. who has been called to the pastor
ate of the Independent church of Savan-
nah, suffered sad bereavement to-day
in the loss of his aged mother, Mrs. r. A.
Fair, whose illness was noted in the Morn
ing News yesterday.
Mrs. Fair had been in falling health for
some time, but the end was not thought
by her family or friends TO be so near.
and 1t came, therefore, with all the sud
denness of an unexpected shock. Her end
was like her life-quiet and peaceful. Mrs.
Fair was most devoted and pious moth
err She had the faculty of drawing peo-
pie to her, and it was pleasure to be in
her company and to see her in her home
surroundings.
1t is the custom of DIR. Fairs family to
bury at their native home in South Car
olna, but on account of the Illness of DR..
Fairs father, Mrs. Fairs body viii be
placed in a mortuary vault in Hollywood
cemetery for a few days until a more op-
perfume time for its removal to South
Carolina for final interment. The funeral
will take place from her sons residence
Thursday at noon.
1t is not yet known what effect Mrs.
Fairs death will have upon the proposed
visit of her son to Savannah Sunday.
There will be ample time after the fu-
neral for him to reach there before the
Sabbath, but it is now thought that he
will be detained by the illness of his
father, whose condition is such that he
has not been informed of the demise of
his wife. Great pressure is being brought
to bear on Dr. Fair to get him to refuse
the Savannah call, but the impression
prevails that he will accept, especially
since the death of his mother, whose re-
mains will be finally inferred not very far
from Savannah.

GALVEsTON's CORN ELEVATOR.
Eighty Thousand Bushels of Corn in
1t Affected by the Heat.


II Affected by the Heat.
Galveston, Tex, March 1s.-The Calves
ton Wharf Company admitted to-day that
of the 100000 bushels of corn stored in
their elevators for export, $1,000 bushels
were affected by heat, due to the grain
being out of condition when received, and
that at least 5000 bushels or more will be
lost. The Galveston Export Company,
who have 240,OOO bushels of corn stored
in the elevator, deny the statement Of
the wharf company that the corn was not
In good condition when received. They
state that it was sound and dry, was
classed No. 2, and that its present condi-
tion was due to gross negligence and In
competence of the elevator management
and the leaky condition of the elevator.
The export company also claim that all
Of the corn in the elevator is affected more
or less. but to what extent they cannot say
until 1t is thoroughly examined by an ex-
merit who is now here for that purpose, ana
win make an examination and report at
o'clock tomorrow afternoon. All, how
ever. disclaim that the damaged condition
of the corn is due to climatic influences.
Roth the officials of the Galveston Wharf
Company and grain exporters are averse
to making any statement in regard to the
matter.

MULDOoN ON THE FIGHTERS.
The Man Who Makes the First Mis-
take VIII Get second Place.

uke w III SctOuu NAuces
San Francisco, March 16.-The Examiner
publishes a special from Carson, In which
Muldoon, the celebrated wrestler, gives his
opinion OF Fltzsmmons. He visited Fltz-
simmons at his training quarters yester-
day and saw him go through all his work,
Among other things. Mu doom says; 81 am
inclined to believe that he has been in
training so long that 1t requires exercise
to stimulate him TO look what he really ls
the most marvellous piece of physical de-
Velopment that ever saw in action. His
bag punching was more vigorous. hard
er. more effective and included more diff
hcult tricks than i noticed during Cor
belts performance.
1T was easy TO see that his most pow
erful plays are his short arm hooks, up
percuts, 1olts and pushes. While his move
menls have not the same grace and pre-
cision as Corbetts. they seem to possess
more vtciousness and appear to be fully
as quick, both as TO foot work and hand
work. Like Corbett, he seems to be
ureless worker and to need no urging or
encouragement Of any kind. There is u
Vlgor in his work that bellies his general
appearance before he strips. / should say
that his weight is about l62 pounds. or
course. neither of the contestants will tell
you what he weighs. but 1 should say that
Corbett is at least fifteen pounds heavier
than Fitz.
There is one thing to say about the
physical condition of the two men, and
that Is that they are both fit TO make the
best fight of their lives. and either man
can hit hard enough and Is strong enough
to win the tight. l can only say that Il Will
be "a battle of good Judgment and the one
that first commits a serious error will be
pretty sure TO get second place"

M'KENNA AND THE FILrBUsTERs.
Application of the DRuntIess 10 Clear
For Cuba Under Consideration.


For Cuba Under Consideration.
Washington, March 16-The flibuster-
ing operations between this country and
Cuba occupied the attention of the oabi-
net to-day.
Attorney General McKenna gave his
views on the subject of permitting alleged
filibustering steamers TO clear for Cuban
ports with cargoes of arms and munitions
of war. A general discussion followed his
remarks.
The Attorney General has decided not
to render an opinion in the case of the
= steamer Dauntless until he can obtain
additional facts relating to the applca-
ton of her owners to clear from Jack
sonvile with arms and munitions.
Under ordinary commercial conditions
the applications would be granted with
out question, but the fact that the Daunt-
less or any other vessel would be obliged
to clear for some Cuban port held by the
Spanish puts a new phase on the matter.
The cargo could not be landed there and
the vessel would be seized. This would
make it necessary for yes
sci to attempt to land the
cargo at some point along the coast and
in order to deliver the arms and ammuni-
tion to the insurgents an armed force
would be necessary. The knowledge OF
this raises the question whether the men
necessary to carry out the plans made
for a flibustering vessel would not con-
stitute an armed expedition, violation
of the law.
The Attorney General will have to de-
eide whether the force likely TO be taken
on the Dauntless Is an armed expedition
within the meaning of the law. Permis-
sion was given the steamer Commodore
to clear for Cuban port with arms and
munitions of war. but the vessel was
wrecked before reaching the Cuban coast.
