THE INTEREST BILL TABLEE.
Hot Time in The Senate.
After u heated discussion lust
Thursday morning the hill to re-duce
tho rate of interest from 8
per cent, to 0 wag indefinitely
tabled. Mr. Avery, of Burke coun-ty,
in Bpoaking of the bill said lie
was afraid of his constituency at
home as he believed every other
Senator was. That it would hurt
his county, that he would vote for
it if Burke county was left out,
luit the law would ruin the country.
lie questioned the exemption of
certain counties being unconstitu-tional,
hut he did not put it on
constitutional grounds. .Said in
his section money could not be had
now at JS per cent., that it was not
the K per cent that had ruined the
farmer in his county, but it was
the goods bought on time at 40
per cent.
Mr. Williams, on behalf of the
bill, arose-and said he introduced
this measure in the Senate four
years ago, the ball was put in mo-tion
then and it has been rolling
ever since. The bill is right and
just. You may stand here in the
interest of towns and capitalist but
the day will come when the bill
ill become a law. Said our fore-lathers
had bad li per cent interest
for 200 years. Do you dare say
that Gaston and other gnat men of
North Carolina did not know what
were doing? He stated that 37
Slates of this Union had a li per
cent interest law, including New
York. Pennsylvania. Connecticut
and Virginia.
The lirst amendment considered
was that offered by Mr. A very ex-empting
certain counties.
I'pon motion of Mr. Williams the
ayes and noes were called upon the
passage of this amendment. The
result being 20 in the ntllrmative
and 20 in the negative, President
Holt cast the deciding vote in the
affirmative.
Mr. King then moved to indefi-nitely
postpone.
Upon this vote Mr. Williams
again called for the ayes and noes,
resulted being ayes lti, noes 22.
Mr. Bellamy offered an amend-ment
to exempt New Hanover and
Pender counties. I'pon this mo-tion
Mr. Turner moved to lay it
upon the table. He said he knew
that this would kill the bill, but
that as certain counties were ex-empted
he felt it was better not to
pass a crippled bill.
Mr. Williams again took the
Moor, saying money was a creature
of the United States government
and not of North Carolina. That
be had aided the brother of Mr.
Bellamy and now ho comes here
and \o|cs against his bill and that
he did not represent the farmers of
bis district.
Mr. Bellamy interrupted Mr. Wil-liams
by saying that if he said
that he did not represent (he farm-ers
of bis section, he saitl that that
was not true. Mr. Williams then
continued, saying there was some-thing
higher than that of money
—virtue anil honesty—and the day
would come when it would triumph.
The vote was then taken upon
the motion to table, which resulted
in ayes 25, noes IS. Which was
the death knell of the interest bill.
Jus; before the Senate adjourn-ed.
Senator Williams made the
above comment reflecting upon
Senator Bellamy which aroused the
indignation of that gentleman.
Some harsh words were indulged
in. but as soon as he had a moment
for reflection, good-hearted Sena-tor
Williams arose and made an
apology for the hot words used in
debate—frank, manly and sincere.
Senator Bellamy accepted the apol-ogy
with the manliness of a manly
man.

Richmond and Danville Trains Will
Rnn Over the Pennsylvania
to Jersey City and Ev-ery
One is Happy.
It looks as if the Richmond Ter-minal
Company has treed the
Pennsylvania Railroad coon!
The latter for many years has
given the Terminal very poor pas-senger
and freight connections. It
establishes through passenger
trains from New York to the South
with the Atlantic Coast line of
railroads as well as quick freight
lines, but steadily omitted to offer
any such service to the Richmond
and Danville, the northeastern link
of the Terminal chain. The little
Wizard and John H. Inman put
their heads together a few weeks
ago and told the Pennsylvania peo-ple
that if they didn't care to trade
with the Terminal they guessed the
Kultimore and Ohio would.
This opened the eyes of the
Pennsylvania folks, and they saw
flitting across the landscape the
awful phantom of the Baltimore
and Ohio road and the Terminal
system welded into one.
FRAKK THOMSON ON TIIK ALERT.
Vice President Frank Thom-son,
of tho Pennsylvania, at once
had a conference with The Little
Wizard and John 11. Inman, at
which he learned what the Termi-nal
wanted. The "Wizard" does
not generally hesitate to reach out
for whatever is in sight, and on
this occasion he was not a bit mod-est
in defining his wishes.
The Terminal, these gentleman
declared, mu6t have a thorough
service from Jersey City to the
Richmond and Danville Hacks in
Washington, so as to run its own
Pullman vestibule trains right
through from here to Atlanta antl
New Orleans. This right is given
to the Atlantic Coast line, and the
Terminal would not accept any-thing
less.
The Terminal demanded fast
freight trains run on the Pennsyl-vania
in connection with its own
freights, so that perishable goods
might be taken through from the
section which its roads cover to
the East. These trains are now
run over the Atlantic Coast line
and the Terminal was going to have
them too.
ALL DIFFERENCES ADJUSTED.
Vice President Thomson, of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, had an im-portant
conference with President
John H. Inman, of the Terminal,
yesterday. They met by appoint-ment
at the rooms of the Trunk
Line Association, No. 316 Broad-way,
where Mr. Thomson was at-tending
the trunk line presidents'
Convention. The discussion was
not lengthy, but it was understood
that the upshot of it was a com-plete
rcconcilliation of the differ-ences
between the two great rail-roads,
and the ruthless slaughter
of the exclusivc-contract-with-the-
Baltimore and-Ohio bugaboo.
Arrangements will go into effect
as soon ns they can be perfected
for the running of the vestibule
trains from Jersey City, and the
freight services will be amended to
suit Mr. Inman just as quickly as
the managers of the roads can get
down to details.
Mr. Thomson returned to Phila-delphia
with a great load off his
mind. Mr. Inman seemed perfect-ly
satisfied, and every one else con-cerned
was greatly interested in
the thought that Richmond and
Danville trains are to invade this
territory and make their appear-ance
for the first time in the his-tory
of either line upon Pennsyl-vania
Railroad tracks just across
the North River.—JV. J'. Herald.

BABHUM AT BRIDGEPORT.
Two Doctors, a Clown Baboon, and
Baby Lions All Contribute to
His Cheerful Life.
In a sunny room of a handsome
country residence at Bridgeport,
overlooking a broad park and the
Sound beyond, P. T. Barnum re-clined
in an invalid chair yesterday
and cracked jokes and talked about
the wonders of his great moral
show with half a dozen New Y'ork
newspaper men, who wanted to see
what the circus looked like in win-ter
quarters.

WHY THE SOUTH WILL LEAD.
Labor Cheaper and Her Fields
Inexhaustible.
The immense iron industries of
the north are in trouble, and their
only way out is to shift their base
of operations to the south.
In the southern fields the supply
of iron and coal is inexhaustible.
It is easily mined. Then, the la-bor
situation is highly advanta-geous.
A northern correspondent who
recently visited North Alabama and
East Tennessee, when asked the
cause of the stoppage of twenty

e.ou,her

is 81 years old, he takes as strong"1 Bl"ningliam that the average
in all the details as ,waSe8 waB *1G0 Per u">- The
best men received $3, while the un-skilled
negroes received 50 cents
per day. Millions of negroes, used
to hard labor, are willing to work
for the same wages in the furnaces
that they get in the fields. In the
northern furnaces 3,000 of Carne-gie's
workmen average $3 per day,
puddlers $5, while unskilled Hun-garians
get |1.50. With this dis-crepancy
in wages the northern
furnace ownerns cannot compete
with those in the south, and they
will have to shift their plants. In
the matter of charcoal iron, too,
this correspondent makes the point
that in the north ironmakcrs have
to pay 90 cents per cord for cutting
wood, while in Tennessee, Georgia
and Alabama wood is chopped at
from 35 to 50 cents per cord.
But other large industries in the
north are also having trouble with
labor. Northern labor is discon-tented,
always ready to strike, and
at times it threatens violence.
Southern labor is contented, oppos-ed
to strikes, and its relations with
capital are always amicable.
One does not have to ponder very-long
over the situation to come to
the conclusion that the presence in
the south of millions of negroes
will have an important bearing up-on
tho rapid building up of our in-dustries.
In the course of time
they will be employed in certain
lines of labor, while the whites will
be found in others. There will be
no competition between the races,
and no friction. What is really-needed
in this section is not fewer
blacks, but more whites. In the
course of a few years, with a large
ly preponderant white population,
the blacks will be no more of a dis-turbing
element here than they are
now in the northern states.
From every possible point of view
the south is the most inviting field
under the sun for capital, immigra-tion
and enterprise. The facts
speak for themselves.—AtlantaC'oH-ulilH/

THBT FIGHT FIVE HOURS.
an interest
does the Bridgeport gamin who
hangs around the entrance to get a
peep at the animals.
For three weeks he has been con-fined
to his room with a severe cold
and two doctors have been attend-ing
him.
"The doctors are here to read the
funny stories from this book that
my wife brought to me from Eng-land,"
he said, with a smile, "and
while I can laugh I am not very
sick."
Then Mr. Barnum told of a bit-ter
disappointment that he had
just experienced. He had told
Mrs. Barnum one of his newest
and best jokes and she couldn't see
the point.
The winter quarters where the
menagerie, cars, wagons, and work-shops
are is about two miles from
Marina, the great showman's resi-dence.
There are about a dozen
long, low brick buildings within an
enclosure to which outsiders are
not admitted.
No switch engine is used to move
trains on the network of tracks.
Baby, the big elephant, under the
direction of Trainer Newman, was
busy yesterday pushing around
several cars loaded with hay.
There have been several addi-tions
to the menagerie, the most
notable being four young lions that
were born a month ago. They look
like half-grown Newfoundland pup-pies.
Across from their cage are
two large lions that are serving as
models for Mr. Alexander Pope's
picture, "The Gladiators."
Twice a day the elephants are
marched into the ring and put
through a thorough drill. Mr. Bar-num's
pet this year is a clown
baboon, which William Conrad has
taught to ride bareback on a small
donkey. The boboon will mimic
in a small ring all the difficult
feats of the skilled bareback riders.
Most of the old riders are get-ting
in training for the season. As
each one returns he goes through
his performance for the first week
with a belt and tackle attached to
a swinging bar.
If his feet have become unsteady
from lack of practice this tackle
permits him to swing easily into
the sawdust. Willie O'Dale was
using it yesterday, antl several wo-men
in long gray ulsters were
watching him and waiting for their
turns.
In another part of the building
William Dncrow is training horses.
The time is short now, and in a few
days the finishing touches will have
been put on the brightly painted
cars and the greatest show on earth
will start out again to please the
small and the big boy.—A'. V. 'Sun.

John Shay Said to Have Been About
to Eury his Unconscious Wife.
Iii:n BANK, Feb. 18.—John Shay,
who lives at Cartontown, went
home drunk yesterday afternoon,
and. after some misunderstanding
with his wife, Nora, beat her until
he thought she was dead. He then
dragged her out into the backyard
and, it is reported, was evidently-going
to bury her, when some
neighbors appeared. They got a
sheet and wrapped it about the
woman and took her into the
house.
About this time the woman
showed signs of life. Shay, who
was watching her, sprang at her,
and in spite of the elforts of the
neighbors, succeeded in kicking
her and jumping on her. It is
feared he fractured her skull. He
broke several ribs. John Wilson,
of Oceanic, Anally subdued him.
An officer and a doctor were sent
for, and were on hand in
course of half an hour, and the
woman's wounds were dressed.
Shay was brought to this place
and locked up. Mrs. Shay was not
expected to live, but to day she is
much better.

A Chip of the Old Block -A Woman
of Pluck.
Buffalo Bill's eldest daughter,
Miss Arta Cody, appears to be "a
chip of the old block." She is de-scribed
as a magnificent, queenly-looking
young woman, says the
New Y'ork Tribune, and credited
with having as much courage and
selfconfidence as her father.
Among the stories told of her pluck
is the following: Some years ago.
Cody had in his stable a large,
handsome, highspirited horse, who
was particularly vicious—so much
so, in fact, that Cody himself did
not care about riding him. One
day Arta concluded that she would
ride this horse, although the 6table
men sought to dissuade her. She
was determined, however, and suc-ceeded
in getting a bridle on him,
and then leaped nimbly onto his
hack. The horse reared and plung-ed,
but the girl kept her seat.
Finally the animal threw her. She
was up again in an instant, and
once more on his hack. This time
the animal threw her over his head,
scratching her face to a consider-able
degree. With blood stream-ing
down her face, her eyes filled
with tears, and her rage so great
that she looked like a young tigress,
she sprang to her feet, crying: "The
brute, I'll ride him now if he kills
me," and, suiting the action to the
word, gave the horse the most ter-rible
beating he had ever received,
antl when she had completed, the
animal was as docile as the pro-verbial
"Old Dobbin," and Miss
Arta rode off triumphantly, while
her father and the stablemen looked
on in astonishment.
Perish in a Crowded New York Tene-ment
House.
NEW YORK, Feb. 18.—By a fire
in a Brooklyn tenement house this
morning five persons lost their
lives, and one man was so severely-burned
that he will probably die.
The fire started at 4 o'clock. It
was caused by a pot of fat boiling
over in the basement which, with
the ground floor store, was owned
by Fred Baldfus, a baker. There
was a very thick smoke and in a
few moments the flames had reach-ed
up through the hallway, and the
inmates of the double flat came
pouring down the stairs. There
were nine families; all of these
escaped with the exception of Mrs.
John Henry, a widow, living in the
third story", who stopped to dress
her three children.
She stayed too long, and when
she finally" attempted to get down
the stairs, she was overcome by the
smoke. When the fire was exting-uished,
it was found that the moth-er
and three of her children had
been burned to death.
A PRINCELY WEDDING.
The Greatest Slugging Match on
Record—Ryan the Victor.
MINNEAI-OI.IS, Minn., Feb. 18.—
Half past two o'clock this morning.
Ryan and Needham had fought 73
rounds, and the men were simply-walking
around each other, letting
flow blows occasionally. Needham
forced the fight in the 71th round
but did little damage. He got a
smash on Ryan's face and Ryan
returned it, almost scoring a knock
down. In the 75th round the light-ing
was hot and fast, the men do-ing
considerable in lighting, ami
going at each other like demons,
Ryan securing the first blood. A
perfect pandemonium reigned
among the spectators. Suddenly
Ryan gave Needham an awful blow
in the neck and both men got ex-cited,
clinching savagely. Cries of
foul were raised and not allowed.
Desperate fighting followed in
which both men struck a number
of foul blows. With round 70 each
man came up for the blood, Ryan
landing effectively with his left
and knocked Needham down. They
clinched and Needham was knock-ed
down again.
Ryan upper cut right antl left,
knocking Needham down repeated-ly,
and the call of time only saved
him from being knocked out. As
it was he was carried to his corner
in a dazed condition, and before
time was called his seconds threw
THE DEVIL'S KINDLING WOOD
Is What Rev. C. M. Southgate Calls
the Cigarette.
Do you want to know where a
boy usually begins to be fast?
With a cigarette. It is a lad's first
step in bravado, resistance and so-ber
morality, and n bold step in
disobedience. Just now take the
matter on the scientific side. To-bacco
blights a boy's finest powers
—wit, muscle, conscience, wiH.
Nations are legislating against it.
Germany, with all her smoke, says,
"No tobacco in the schools." It
spoils their brains and makes them
too small for soldiers. Knock at
the door of the great military in-stitutions
of France : "No tobacco."
is* the response. Try West Point
and Annapolis: -Drop that cigar-ette,"
is the word. Indeed smok-ing
boys are iftit likely to get so far
as that. Major Houston, of the
marine corps, who is in charge of
the Washington navy-yard bar-racks,
says that one-fifth of all the
boys examined are rejected for
heart disease, of which ninety-nine
cases in one hundred coine from
cigarettes. His first question is
"Do you smoke?1 "No, sir," is the
invariable reply. But the record
is stamped on the very body of the
lad, and out he goes. Apply for a
position in a bank. If you use
tobacco, beer, cards, the bank has
no use for you.
Business life demands fine brain,
steady nerve and line conscience.
Watch the hoys. Sec one sixteen
years in age, twelve in size, twenty
in sin, and he smokes, probably
chews and drinks. Babes of seven
and eight years arc at it. The vice
increases. I could pile up statis-tics
by the hour, testimony from
the highest medical authority, of
the misery preparing and already
come. The use of cigarettes in-creases
enormously, but only in-creases
the use of stronger tobacco.
In August, 1889, f0,0O0,OU0 more
cigars were made in this country
than in the year before, and the
firm that made this statement cred-its
the increase to the cigarette, and
the fault of careless parents.
Tobacco is murdering many a
lad. Where they do not fairly kill,
cigarettes are the Devil's kindling
wood.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18,—The House
coinage committee to-day adopted
a resolution to close the/hearings
at 12 o'clock Friday, and vote on
the silver bill in committee at 1
o'clock that day. The resolution
was adoptetl after a long wrangle
by unanimous consent, the silver
men agreeing to it as the best so-lution
of these questions. If the
programme here outlined is carri-ed
out, it will make it impossible
to pass that bill the second time, if
the President declines to approve
or disapprove it. The period of
time between 10 o'clock Friday and
noon March llh, is just one hour
less than the period of ten days,
exclusive of Sunday, throughout
which the President is permitted
to retain the bill before returning
it to Congress.
Silver is tho Thing.
The West and the South are to-gether
for free coinage. The Demo-cratic
party has settled its position.
The Presidential nominee must
conform to Democracy on not only-one
but both the great issues. Mr.
Cleveland's place in 1S!»2 will be at
the head or in the ranks, according
to his decision to yield or not to
the party's judgment on silver.
From the"tone of his letter, though
the party will see the event with
regret, it seems more than possible
that he cannot stand on the plat-
Torni that will inevitably be adopt-ed.
Assuredly the letter will not
change the party.—A"«»»«* t'llg
