CLEARED LATE LAST NIGHT
FROM PHILADELPHIA FOR VEN

FINED PETROLEUM.
About $50 O'Clock thk morning fire
broke out in The engine room of me
British tanker Weehawken AZ the
mouth OF the Christiana river. ladened
with over 100000 gallons OF oil.
IL was but few minutes after the
alarm OF fire when every member OF
the crew was making desperate ef-
fort to extinguish the flames. but their
attempts proved unavailing. The fire
had made It's way to the oil tanks. and
the men knew they would be lucky II
they escaped with their lives. rbe
whistle was blown for assistance. and
lt was answered by the tug. amanda
Powell which went to the rescue OF the
members OF the vessels, and took them
aboard.
The tanker burned for several hours
Every little while the flames would
burst out from another part OF the ship
and seem to make more headway. The
crew. with the assistance that was Of
iered' was powerless to do anything.
and all hope OF saving her was given
up long before she stopped burning
The crew lost everything except the
few clothes the men wore. Had Il not
been for ihe timely assistance OF the
Amanda Powell they would probably
have lost their lives.
A large crowd quickly gathered along
the shore, as it was generally known
that the vessel was on fire. A large
number OF boats nearly b,ockaded the
river just below the railroad bridge.
People were also watching the burning
craft from points of vantage in this
city.
The Weehawken is a British tanker
of about 45O tons displacement. She
cleared from Philadelphia late last
night for Venice with refined petroleum
in charge Of Captain Casey, with q
crew OF eight men. She belongs to the
Gust Heye line of steamers.

fering which Winter
Brings.

The most offensive of all dis
eases becomes more intense as cold
weather approaches. In fact,
many who have been under treat
ment for SO long, and during the
summer feel little discomfort from
the disease, are almost persuaded
that they have been cured. But
the first chilling blast of winter
proves that the disease is still with
them, and as the winter advances,
their Catarrh grows in severity.
Those who have felt only a slight
touch of Catarrh may be sure that
only cold weather is needed to de-
velop the disease. What appears
to be only q bad cold will prove
more difficult to cure than for
merly, and will return with more
frequency, until before long the
disease is fully developed.
"For years suffered from o severe
case of Catarrh, and took several kinds
of medicines and used various local ap.
plications, but they had no effect what.

An artistic set of punch cnps to
be presented to the cruiser Raleigh
by Mrs. Alfred W. Haywood, of Haw
River, n. C., has Just been COM
pleted by Messrs. jacob and Jen-
kins, silversmiths.
Mrs. Haywood, who is daup liter
of Governor Holt, of North Carolina,
was sponsor for the cruiser at the
time of her christening. The cups
are twelve in number and weigh
100 ounces Troy. Each cup is four
inches high and three inches in
diameter, resting upon four dolphiss,
whose bodies curve gracefully about
the body of the cup. They are
highly polished and lined with gold.
They are of the same design az the
massive punch bowl which was pre-.
sented to the cruiser by citizens of
North Carolina when she first went
into commission.
The Raleigh is q second. rate
cruiser of 1913 tons displacement.
She formed part of Admiral Dewey's
squadron and is now on the Asiatic

THE REAL SENTIMENT OF
THE DEMOCRATIC
MACHINE.

The Charlotte Observer pub
lished an article from one of its
special correspondents who signs
himself Jasper Stowe, which con-
tains the following:
Democratic politics have drifted into q
more comedy shape than for several years.
The Chicago platform and Bryan are not
in it. Indeed the absence of the dema
gogue is profoundly gratifying. He is
utterly useless and while experts in the
art are engaged in honest work their most
conspicuous claims to distinction are in
compatible and are relegated to the rear
The Chicago platform and Bryan,
hope, will be forgotten by 1900. And
Mary Ann and Tillman will have finished
up their mission of deviltry and undefiled
Democracy will again resume business at
the old stand
This correspondent boldly states
and glorifies in the fact that the
Chicago platform and Bryan have
been eliminated by this so-called
Democratic victory. Notice how
he refers to Bryan as demagogue,
and congratulates the party and
the state upon being rid of such.
He expresses great delight at the
shape that Democratic politics
have taken. His pleasure is in the
fact that silver and Organism have
been eliminated and that the ne.
gro has been made the apparent
issue behind which gold bugs and
monopolists have won their vic.
tory. He boldly states that Bryan
and the Chicago platform will be
forgotten by 1900. Senator Till
man might also have his eyes
opened to see in what esteem he il
really held by the old Ransom ma
chine which has used him as 8
catspaw in this campaign. The
above no doubt expresses the rea
sentiment of the Democratic ma
chine which is now in control Of
the Democratic party of the state

THE NEED OF A CONSTITU.
TIONAL CONVENTION.

We notice that the Fayetteville
bserver. one OF the leading and
most pronounced free silver papers
in the state has declared strongly
in favor of calling constitutional
convention. The Observer says:
Now that such an onerw belming vic.
tory has been won in the name Of the
Democratic party IL is to be hoped that
the people throughout the State will set
their thoughts upon the question Of hold
ing a Constitutional Convention for the
purpose Of qualifying the suffrage.
The Observers views on this subject
have been long known, and it is unneces
sary TO repeat that the State cannot stand
the strain Of another such campaign Is we
have just passed through without almost
fatal injury 10 the body polite. We are
not arraigning any one for anything which
has been done in the campaign: we simply
mean that the conditions which have dis.
graced the State the past few years could
have been prevented and should have
been, and it will be a political crime II,
with our recent experience staring US In
the face, we do not take the earliest steps
possible 10 prevent them hereafter.
We take it that every paper
that is earnestly for silver and
against the domination Of gold and
monopoly will take the same posi-
ton with reference to a cOnstitu-
tional convention that the Fayette-
Vile Observer has taken.
OF course the gold and mOnopo
( Iy papers will oppose the calling
of a constitutional convention. We
notice that already the Charlotte
Observer has editorially opposed
the calling of such a convention
There is nothing that the monopo
lists fear more than The holding o.
a constitutional convention, be
cause from the time such con
vcntion is called until the d lie
gates to it are elected the question
that the people would like to b.
considered by the convention viii
be forced into the political aren;
to be discussed on every stump il
the state. Every delegate woul(
be forced to tell where he stood OF
the monoDoly question as we'll a
on the suffrage and other ques
tons. If there is anything tn
monopolists fear it is a discussion
of the real and overshadowin
, economic issues now presentin
; themselves for solution IN Mort
Carolina and in every state in tn
Union. Yes, let us have a consti
, tutional convention. The grea
questions to be considered by sue
, a convention cannot be discusse
, before the people too much. Ever
, patriot desires to see the verde
of the people rendered squarely o
[ the great issues before the people
, and then let this verdict be pu
, into the organic law of the state.
