Chicago, May 19.-An indications to- night point to the end of the team
 sters strike within the next twenty
 four hours. it being predicted by both employers and labor leaders that the trouble will be over within that time.
 President Shea of the Teamsters' union
 tonight met Attorney Mayer, who has full authority to settle the strike for
 the Employers association, at the Au-
 ditorium. .l
 Shea and Mayer refused to state what matters were under consideration, but from other sources 1t was learned that President Shea was making an effort to secure, the best terms possible for his men before consenting to rec ommend that the strike he called off. After the meeting Shea reported di- rectly to the teamsters' joint council, which met at Union headquarters and continued It's deliberations until a late hour. The sole power of calling off the strike rests with this body, and it was freely predicted on all sides during the early part of the night that it would at some time before tomorrow noon an nounce that the end had come.

GEN. PAT7ERSON'S SPEECH.
Continued from First page.)

Mr.. Anderson had defaulted to the
county for any sum.
''It was further shown that Mr.. Cox
had not paid over to the State any of
the taxes for 1897 for which he had
taken Anderson's checks in September,
1898, until Jan. 10, 1899, at which time
he made only partial payment.
While Mr.. Cox gave Mr.. Anderson
receipt in full, which he now holds,
the Comptroller's report, which was
made on the 10th day of December
shows that Mr.. Anderson is defaulter
to the State in the sum of 81, 1921 less
his commissions, which would be
about 5000, leaving him in debt TO
the State about 5000 over and above
his commissions. Mr.. Cox explained
that he had never been able to collect
the money on the Anderson check for
1897 "a, and had therefore not paid the
money covered by the receipt he gave
Anderson into the treasury.
"Mr. McCorkle, as bondsman of
Anderson, insisted that he relied upon
the receipts given Anderson by the
revenue agent, and that the State must
look to Mr.. Anderson and Mr. Cox.
It appeared that in renting to the
treasury, Mr.. Cox deducted 10 per
cent. commission en- the amount of the
receipt, although the check was unpaid
and uncollectable.
The report of the committee was
made under the oath of Senators and
Representatives, taken when they as
sumed the duties OF Legislators in
their respective Houses and was signed
on the part of the SeApte by James
Taylor, Chairman, and Alex. W.
Chahbliss, aud ON the part of the
House, by Il. H. Harvey, r. II. Green
and G. q. Henderson. If this report
be true, Gov. Cox stands charged with
misfeasance and malfeasance in office.
He stands charged with gross irregu-
larities and failure to make reports
J according to law.
He stands charged with collecting
monies that were not delinquent and
taking fees therefrom which left trus-
: tees delinquent on the books of the
Comptroller Office to the amount of
the fees thus illegally retained.
He stands charged with giving re-
ceipts in full, and afterwards deduct
} ing commissions, which left the State
short to the amount Of commissions,
retained.

Parents Day.

1t was parents day at Science Hill
Thursday. All parents Of pupils in
that school received neat little invita-
tons to that effect. Quite a number
Of women attended, but not SO many
as had it net been the day when church
societies met. Are the men not inter-
ested in tie schools? The rooms were
decorated with autumn leaves and
flowers. The children were neat as
they usually are. Good order prevailed
and it hardly seemed possible that the
well-mannered Young ladies and geu-
tlemen were the manageable little
people of couple years ago. The
teachers are certainly doing good work
under Prof. Lowry, who is an efficient
Superintendent. If no comment on
the school has been made, it is because
it is so self-eyident that none has
seemed necessary. Bristol, who knows
good thing when she sees it, is after
Superintendent Lowry. Go to school,
and if you are not interested in the
good order. pefect attention, fine les
sons and singing, say SO. More parents
ought to go, we are derelict in our
duties. The teachers are justly proud
and want us to see. The other build
will issue special invitations soon, and
we would urge it upon all parents and
interested parties to go then and often.
To see them march out even shows the
different spirit of the times and il
interesting to passers-by in that con
nection.

The Watauga Electric Company is
increasing its business at a remarkable
rate. Mr.. Kirkpatrick states that the
rush for electric lights has become so
great that he has been compelled to
call on a Knoxville firm, the Acme
Electric Company, to do the wiring
and contracting for his company, and
has added an expert solicitor to his
force to explain the cost and advan-
tages of electricity. The solicitor,
Mr.. Carson, of Knoxville, has had a
great deal of experience in soliciting,
and can advise the most economical and
most satisfactory arrangement of light
ing, and also estimate the cost of cleo
tricity as compared with other forms
of illumination. We anticipate that
both these progressive companies will
be very successful.
