eggs. They were sold at Groves Ross

Government Receives Promo.
sitiOn from a California
Company.

Washington, Oct. 2S.--The Acme
Wrecking Co. of San Francisco has
made a request upon the navy
department for authority to raise
the battleship Maine. The com
pany bas had experience in rails.
ing vessels on the Pacific coast
and representatives have been
made to The department as to its
ability to accomplish the ia; in
Habana harbor. 1t proposes to
blow the mud from under the
wreck by means Of streams of
water and then to pass chains
under and attach them to frame
work connected with system of
steel barrels. These barrels will
also be placed in the wreck and
utilized wherever they can be
made available. The company
simply asks authority to raise the
Maine and bring her to this coun-
try. If the government wants
the ship after she reaches the
United States the company will
want to be paid salvage money
through condemnation proceed
ings. 1t is probable in case the
government did not want the
ship, the company would exhibit
her in different large seacoast
cities of the United States. No
money is demanded from the GOV
ernment by the company. 1t is
stated at the department unof-
ficially that in case the company
is found reliable the authority
will no doubt be given.

reason, objected to the match, hence
the runaway.
The couple arrived here on the n.
& w. train at $40. There was some
delay in getting the license.
The bride, who gave her age at y
years, is very good looking. The
groom, we are informed, is about %
and formerly worked in mill at
Roanoke, but is now engaged in farm
ing.
Policeman Hammer escorted the
couple from the depot aud assisted

ney and his ''gag" convention.
DIR. Wilcox was nomina nated b. accla-
nation and amid the widest enthusi-
asm. A large crowd attended the con
vention
Mr.. George Edwards. who returned
from Wilkesboro yesterday afternoon,
says that it was conceded there when
he lett that DR.. Wilcox would be the
nominee. The insurgents held a caucus
before the convention. Some of Lin
ney's friends tried to get in it. but
they were ruled out. An insurgent
remarked this morning that DR.. Will
cox would have been nominal ed at the
first convention had It not been for
the "gag rule" of Linney and his
cohorts.
When advised of DR.. Wilcox's noIni-
nation last evening, Lieut.. Gov. Rev
nolds remarked. ''He is good man."

The European Committee Insists
Upon Expulsion of the Friars.
Do Not Believe Stars and

LONDON, Aug. 27.-The Philippine
Islands committee in Europe has ad-
dressed a letter to President Mckinley
regarding an appeal made to him by
Roman Catholic ecclesiastics in
America to protect the religious or
ders in the Islands. The expulsion
of the Friars, the committee::contends
is necessary antecedant to moral
sanitation. The letter names particu-
larly the Archbishop of Manila, also
Bishops Neuva Segovia and Neuva
Sagasta, ''whose acts are heartily
against both natives and jesuit and
other respected religious institutions
and are condemned by everyone
The committee urges Mckinley to
aid the Philippines to suppress the
immortality of the diabolical institu-
tions supported by these monks, the
letter concluding as follows: Your
name can never be associated
with that of these friars. The sense of
right of the noble nation at whose
head you are placed will never permit
the ever victorious and humanitarian
stars and stripes to protect them''
