CLEVELAND WILL NOT STEAK.
Tho Former President Will Promote
Democratic Success I'm Other Ways.

New York, September 30.-At DEM
ocratic headquarters today the an
nouncement was made that ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland would not speak dur
ing the camraign. George F. Parker,
OF the literary department Of the ma
tionaI committee said:
Every report which represents
Mr.. Cleveland as about TO go upon the
stump is absolutely without authority
either from himself or from the DEM
ocratic national committee. These
reports naturally have the effect OF
misleading the public and also are
annoying to Mr.. Cleveland. He has
announced at all times that he would
do all in his power to promote DEM
ocratic success but that he ought not
to he expected to max speeches"
Continuing Mr.. Parker said:
His position will be still further
defined in many proper and efficient
ways of communicated before the
close of the campaign. He has no
purpose of Sinking any such discus
sion OF the issues as his health will
permit. and will also be consistent
with his relation to the party and to
the public by reason of his position
as an ex-president. But 1t cannot be
announced too emphaticaliy or with
too much authority, that he will not
make speeches at any time or in any
place"

Goldsboro, n. c., September 80
While on the train going to the circus

Ernes Venton, of Fremont. met instant
death. He was riding on the steps Of
the coach and was swinging off from
the car. When near Contentnea Greek

he was knocked from the train. His

what struck him.
The question of a successor to Profess

trustees of the school just now. There
have been several applications since
the resignation of Professor Foust was
announced, but the board has held no
meeting and has arrived at no conclu-
sion. The school ranks as one of the
best in the state and is one of the old
est. THE trustees are anxious TO get
a man who will sustain the nviable
reputation which the school has enjoy
ed so far. 1t has been intimated that
Colonel A. c. Davis, ormer president
Of the Davis Military school, and re-
Gently a member Of the Goldsboro bar,
would be a candidate for h position.
He is out of the city and the report
cannot be verified. He would make a
capital man for the place and his
election would general satisfaction to

SPRUlM IN G0LDSBOR0.
. CAMPAIGN SPEECH THAT EN-
THUSED THE AUDIENCE.
Large Audience Greets the Democratic
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Arraign-
incnt OF Roosevelt and Ills Negro
Policy-The Speech Will Prove a
Great Vote Getter.
Especial to The Mesenger.)

Goldsboro, n. c., September go
Hon. Frank S. Spruill of Louisburg,
Democratic elector at large, fired the
first big gun of the campaign in
Wayne this evening when he spoke to
a large audience of very enthusiastic
Democrats in the court house. He
not only sustained the enviable repu-
tation that he bears as an orator. but
his friends claim that he added new
laurels. His e~nunciation of the car
dinal principals Of Democracy were
clear and distinct, and he held UP to
just ridicule the acts and pretentions
of the Republican party in the state
AMI nation. He reviewed extensively
the administration of the Democratic
party in North Carolina and showed
conclusively the material benefits
which the people had derived from
restoration of democracy in the state.
The speaker did mo- deal with state
issues to a great extent. The burden
of his theme was the Republican can
didate for President. whom he said
had been born in an aff1uent home and
had never known the wants and
wishes of the majority of the people
of this great republic. The govern
ment had under the present admins
t%ratiOn, ignored the prayers and ap-
peals of the commonalty and had eS-
surned an autocratic position. To
approach the mercy seat would now
require the royal robes of purple n
the blare of trumpets. except when the
President wishes to humilatet the
southern people and then he would
invite as a hostage n negro whom Ia
ture and circumstances had placed
NJ hat a hnya tho lnyyn1 Of fhncn Of
his race. The speaker showed that it
could have been for no social purpose
that President Roosevelt invited
Booker T. Washington to dine at the
White House.. Such a course was not
compatible between a graduate of
Harvard University and a burly ne
gro who a received only a coarse
training.
His arraignment of Roosevelt and
his policy was the main feature
OF his splendid address. Mr.. Spruill
seemed at his best and he made a
speech which cannot fail of results
when the ballots are counted out on
the night of the election. A hurri-
cane of applause would greet every
climax that the speaker attempted,
which showed hat the spirit of de-
mocracy was still alive in the banner
county. He made no attempt to stir
the feelings of his audience by an ap-
peal to race prejudice, but delivered
a plain, practical speech in his char
acteristic style and appealed with
convincing arguments to the reason of
his audience. Aside from it's value as
a vote winner h speech was a gem
of oratory. replete with ornate de-
scriptions and couched in phrases
that were refreshing to those of a
literary turn of mind. The audience
that had gathered to hear him went
away enthused with the prospects of
Democratic success and very much
impressed with the personality Of the
speaker.

Trinidad. Colo, Sept. 3o.-A tefrinc
hood has struck the city of Trinidad
and the whole valley along the Las An
imas river, devastating a wide section
and causing a loss which will reach one
million dollars. SO far as known theie

ported missing.
Every bridge in the city of Trinidad
is out, the Santa Fe station is demol-
ished, all of the railroads are tied up
and the telephone and telegraphic SER
vice completely suspended. More than
thirty city blocks in the residence and
business portions were from Two g
three feet under water along the river.
The food was caused by a heavy ram
which has been falling for two days. Al
s o'clock last night. the storm assumed
cloud burst proportions, and at 2 O'Clock
this morning the Las Animas river
went over its banks. At $3.50 it was M
possible to get within a block Of the
river bed at any point, and CONNER
cial street was flooded for three blocks
in the heart of the business district.
Meantime the electric light n gas
plants had been flooded n h city
was in complete darkness. Hundreds
of citizens thrnged the streets on tire
edge of the submerged district carrying
lanterns and doing their best to porvide
for those driven from home with shcl-
ter.
Warning of the flood was given when
the river left it's banks. by revolver
shots and the ringing Of the fire alarm.
following the blowing of all the loco
mtive whistles in town.

$780, 600 FIRE IN NEW YORK.
Stubborn Conf1a2ratiOn in the Big
Block of Meat Packing Houses and
RefrigeratinS Plants.

New York September 30.-Nearly a
quarter of a million dollars loss was
caused by a fire in the big block of
meat packing houses and refrigerat-
ing plants in Tenth Avenue, between
18th and 14th streets. Startin. late
last night the fire. burned steadily
through the night before it was
brought under control late today.
Chief Croker came near meeting
death by falling through a floor
weakened by the flaws. into a cellar
under the building. He was rescued
by two firemen. when it was found
that his hand was badly cut. A few
moments later the chief rushed up a
Ladder and rescued two firemen who
had been overcome by ammonia fumes
in time to prevent their falling to the
ground.
The heaviest loss was the three
story building occupied by the Cudahy
Packing Company, the T. A. Wheeler
company and onron brothers dealers
in poultry where the fire started. The
RaineS Law Hotel of r. z. Cunning
ham, and two four-story buildings oc-
cupied by T. A. Wheeler and the G.
H. Hammond were practi-
caIiy destroyed. The loss to the Cud-
ahv Company is estimated to reach
s125,0c0 and that to the others being
$4,000 and 800. 900.
Bursting ammonia pipes and tanks,
masses Of soft coal which caught fire,
ami sen forth choking gases. and
buildings that went IN like finder
boxes made the fire one of the worst
with which the firemen have had TO
contend IN a long time. Nearly two
score fremen were overcome by the
fur:es, but all were afterwards able
to return to work. The fire broks
out again this afternoon. but was
finally gotten under control.

DIR. Hogg was One of the Wealthiest
and Most Respected Citizens of Ra-

bic and Unexpected Manner. .....

Raleigh, n. c.. Sept. 3O.-The people
of Raleigh were Mortified this morning
by thenews of the terrible death OF
DR.. T. d. Hogg, n of h oldest, mos
respected and wealthiest citizens of the
city. He was 81 years old and has been
afflicted with melancholia. manifestinS
itself sometimes in a desire to put an
end to his life. This morning he wan
dered of from the house about s
O'Clock. and before any of the family
had even missed him from the house
he had wandered to the Johnston street
station of the Seaboard Air Line and
thrown himself under a passing shift
ing engine, and h great driving wheel
of the engine had passed right across
his waist, cutting his body in tw and
otherwise terribly mangling him.
The engineer says he did not see the
doctor at all until he stepped from be-
hind a box car On an adjoining track,
and threw himself on the track direct
ly under the drive wheel, so that he
was powerless to do anything to save
him.

Raleigh and was for many years a
practicing physician. He owns mucn
property in Raleigh and also in New
York n Baltimore. He leaves a fam
lily of four daughters, one of whom Is
