PROMINENT CITIZENS ARRESTED
Charged With Conspiracy to Prevent
Negroes from Voting.

RALEIGH, n. c.. May IA special 10
the News and Observer from Greenvile,
y. c., says:
At this place yesterday, fun seven
months after the State election. fifteen
of the best citizens of the town and
vicinity were arrested and brought be-
fore United States Commissioner OrInond
on the charge of conspiring TO prevent
the casting of votes by four negroes at a
precinct about two miles north of Green
Vile in the election referred TO.
The arrest was made on information,
apparently furnished by a negro who Is
so llliterate that his mark instead of his
autograph appears on the affidavit in eyL
dence. The negro himself declares. how
ever. that he did not know what he was
signing. as the paper was not read to
him; that he does not know the parties,
and is wholly ignorant Of the affair In
which the affidavit declares they figured.
He says, in conclusion, that he was told
TO make his mark. and that he did SO
without any idea OF what it involved.
The case was called this morning at
10 o'clock. 1t progressed slowly all day.
and will continue tomorrow. Eight wit
nesses were examined for the prosecution
to-day-seven Populists and one negro.

BIG SEASON EXPECTED.
Hundreds of Thousands of Tons of
Iron VIII Pass Through PhiIadeI-
phIa During 1900.

Vessels chartered and other prepar-
atory signs of activity at the port of
Philadelphia indicate that the year
1900 will be one of unusually large
imports of iron ore. 1t is said that
200 vessels will be required to load
cargoes of iron and copper destined
for Philadelphia from Cuba and the
European ports.
The ore beds in the lake regions and
other mineral territory in the United
States are said to be totally made
quate to meet the demand for manu-
factured iron and steel products in
the coming year. 1t is reported that
100000 tons of iron ore have been en-
gagged for shipment 10 Philadelphia
from Spanish and other MediterTan-
can ports alone. a large amount of
these shipments, it is believed, are
destined for the Carnegie Steel com
pany.
There has been a revival of the
Cuban ore trade since the close of
hostilities in the island, as is indi-
Gated by number of recent ship
ments from the mines at Juaragua.
In addition to ore shipments there are
other indications of year of in
creased activity at the port of Phia-
delphia.

the new self-propelling coach does not
mean that the old horse-driven stages
are TO be replaced by the more modern

poses only. 1t will be run up and down
