This is on a summit of a hill to the left of the Administration Building. A pow-erful searchlight will be placed on mo. Near by will be a small building fur the United States ord-nance. Here will be shown mod-ern machine guns, rapid-lire guns and projectiles, The exhibit of the Interior de-partment will contain several new features. Prominence will be giv-en to those industries which affect the South. Machinery connected with the manufacture of cotton will be Bhown "ii a larger scale • before. The exhibit of the Geological Survey will show particularly the recources and mineral wealth of the South. i; - the most striking exhib-it in the Gevernment Building will be that of the United States Fish 1 ommission. The Dsb will occupy thirty tanks, which will be arrang- ■ i in a grotto. The sea water will I i brought in from the ocean and will be stored in un immense reser-vuir underneath the building, from which it will be pumped into the tank-. The fresh water supply can be obtained without storing, from the city's water-works. I exhibit of the Division of Fon -try will be placed in the For-estry and Mining Building. It will show the splendid forest re-sources of the Southern States bet-ter than any previous exhibit. Ac-cording td Dr. Kernow, Chief of the Division of Forestry, one of the most interesting exhibits will be a set of three models—one to a 100-acre farm in the hill lands of the South, which by bad cutting and management has ..lied, furrowed and silted over; another to show how, with bush dams, with ditching, proper drainage, with terracing, sodding and replanting, the lost ground be recovered, while the third E ime 160 acres ston I condition. The exhibit of the mineral re- I i.i' S ui L will be very" complete. No-th Carolina alone can show as large and varied a col-lection ni gems ..mi geological specimens as any state in the L'nion. Scarcely less varied and valuable are the mineral resources of Georgia. The Agriculture Building will be .101 feet long, 150 feet wide, and 110 feet in height to the centre of the dome. It is ex-pected that this exhibit will give to the Northern people a better notion of the extent and variety of farm products and stock in the South than has heretofore been possible. The progress in agricul-ture in the South has been very rapid in late years. Southern farmers no longer pin their faith to one crop—cotton. The "truck" farms of the South now supply Northern markets with fresh and green vegetables and small fruits in early spring. The Southern fruit trade has grown enormously of late years and the supply of Georgia peaches is something won-derful. The Negro Building will be 275 feet long. 111' feet wide, and 70 feet in height. Here will be arranged for display the work of the negro. This should be one of the interest-features of tho Kxposition. Par-ticularly noticeable will be the ed-ucational exhibits, including the technical instruction connected with the industrial arts. The Fine Arts Building will be situated on a hill between the Man-ufactures Building and the Gov-ernment Building. It has been de-signed after the Renaissance style, and will be one of the most attrac-tive structures on the grounds. The floor area will be about 15,000 square feet and the wall nrea about 25.000 square feet. The floor space in the centre of the building will be given up to sculpture. The two large galleries at each end will be reserved for paintings contrib-uted by artists of Europe and America. The Architectual League of New York City will have two galleries set apart for its exhibit. The design for the Woman's Building was furnished by Miss Mercur, of Pittsburg. It has a frontage of 150 feet, 123 feet deep and 70 feet to the top of the dome. Mr. Cooper, of the Department of Publicity and Promotion, has said that every Southern state would be represented. It is probable that at least half a dozen Northern states will have exhibits. Califor-nia will erect a building of the old mission style, in which the varied and wonderful products of the state will be displayed. The other states likely to be represented arc Illinois, Tennessee, Pennsylvania and New Mexico. New York and Massachusetts have not been heard from officially. One cf the principal objects of the Atlanta Exposition will be to promote closer trade relations and larger commerce between this coun-try and the countries of South and Central America. Special ell'orts have been put forth to have these South American States represented by exhibits. The responses have been most favorable. l'resident Dias has announced his intention of making an elaborate exhibit of the resources of Mexico at the Expo-sition. The Argentine Republic has appropriated $25,000 to make a display. The Chilian Congress voted $10,000 for the same purpose. Venezuela, Honduras, Nicaragua and Paraguay propose to make ex-hibits. The exposition will have a Mid-way l'laisance. The amusements and attractions will be stationed on a broad street to be called "The Terrace." There will be about the same features that made the Mid-noted and notorious at Chi- THEY DODGE THE ISSUE. • The Republican League Clubs Ignore the Silver Question.-Wo-men and Coons in the Convention. CLEVELAND, O., June 20.—The national convention of the Repub-lican League clubs met here yes-terday and the first day's proceed-ings was carried on entirely ac-cording to programme. The speak-ers were D. D. Woodmansee, chair-man of the Ohio delegation, who made the address of welcome: Mayor McKisson, who presented to the delegates the fredom of the Statistics of the Railroads. We have ' NO. 2(1 IS IT LEGAL ? we Have "an abstract of the sta- The Question Raised Concerning tistics of the railways of the Unit- the Marriage of a Citizen cf ed htates for the year ended .Tune 30, 1S91," issued by the Inter-State edTnTlsSX'^h " " "",- .

In this way it is* hoped to bring set-tlers to its fields and lands and capital to its industries. The rail-roads, which will be most benelit-ted, recognize this fact, and they arc ready and willing to make lib-eral concessions. Vice-President St. -1 ihn. of the Seaboard Air Line, says that the rate will not be more than one fare for the round trip, probably less than that. The pis-senger agent of the Southern Rail-way says that the fare will proba-bly be less than $50 from all points as far north as New York. HOW THE HOUSE STANDS. It Is Certain There Will Be No Legislation Favorable to Silver. WASHINGTON, D. C, June 19.— There are 359 members of the House of Representatives. Tho gold men claim to have 250 against freo coinage to 10(1 in favor of it. There will be 211 Republicans in the next House, 105 Democrats and 7 Populists. Of the 244 Re-publicans, only 24 are for free coinage; of the 105 Democrats, 75 are for free coinage. From this it is certain that no legislation fav-orable to silver can pass the next House.—News and Observer. Running on Full Time. John Inmnn writes that cotton mills in all parts of the South are working full time and making mon-ey. "Some of the large mills in which I personally own stock, are not only working full time, but night and day, using a double force of hands, and although they have advanced the price of their pro-duction, the demand is greater than they can supply." city, and President W. W. Tracy, of the League. Over two thousand delegates from every state in the Union but Maine, New Hampshire and North Carolina, were in their seats when the gavel dropped for order, be-sides a number of visitors of both sexes who came with the delegates and heaped up the full measure of enthusiasm. Music, flowers, flags, and streamers were abundantly provided, and the arrangements were perfect. Each delegate and press representative was furnished with a programme which served also as a ticket of admission to various places of amusement. In addition excursion, banquet and street car tickets were provided. The surface lines were free to every visitor. The lirst delegation to enter the hall caused great applause from the spectators who had already as-sembled. At its head was a pretty brunette, bearing a silken United States flag in her -hand. It was Miss Pronnie Knowlton, of Van Buren, Arkansas, daughter of the head of the delegation. This dele-gation was quickly followed by others, and when the convention was called to order, there were about four thousand persons pres-ent, three-fourths of whom were delegates. Every delegation, besides the badge of the national convention, wore the badge of its state, and few were so conservative as not to wear also badges of either silver or gold, as indicating their choice on the currency question. There were many colored delegates among those who sat in the convention, and not a few of the delegations were accompanied by a number of fair enthusiasts, who clapped just as loudly and yelled just as lustily as the most ardent disciple of Lin-coln's principles. Just before the convention be-gan there was considerable discus-sion as to who would be the presi-dent of the League in place of W. W. Tracv, who will resign. It was, however practically acknowledged on all tides that Gen. McAlpin stood the best chance, in faot that there would be nobody else in the race to stay. The convention was opened by a song by the National Republican League Glee club, a body which sprang into existence for the oc-casion. They recited how the Democrats would be surely snowed under in 1S!»6, and for an encore, told it all over again to another air. After the band had augment-ed enthusiasm by playing a medley of patriotic airs, Rev. Lloyd Darse, of Cleveland, called down divine blessings on the assemblage. A call of states by the secretary showed them to be represented as follows: Alabama 22, Arkansas 34, Cali-fornia 5, Colorado 7S, Connecticut 22, Deleware 4, Florida 1, Georgia 5, Idaho 4, Illinois 08 and alter-nates, Indiana 02 and 62 alternates, Iowa 54, Kansas 30, Kentucky 51, Louisiana 34, Maryland 3, Mas-sachusetts 20, Michigan 58 and 150 alternates, Minnesota 38, Missis-sippi 4, Missouri til, Montana 14, Nebraska 31, Nevada 10, New Jer-sey 10, New York 148 and 250 al-ternates. North Dakota 12, Ohio 94, Oregon 12, Pennsylvania 130 and 250 alternates, Rhode Island 14, South Carolina 2, South Da-kota 18, Tennessee 50 and 50 al-ternates, Texas 27, Vermont 7, Virginia 12, Washington 1, West Virginia 26, Wisconsin 44, Wyo-ming 10, Arizona 4, District of Columbia 10, New Mexico 12, Ok-lahoma 4, Utah 14, and the Ameri-can Republican College League 10 —a total of 2,280. The organization then began by slips being passed to each state to fill out with tho names of members of committees. While this was being done, the coming fight on the silver question was foreshadowed by a motion made by II. Clay Evans, of Tennessee, that all reso-lutions be referred to the commit-tee on resolutions without debate. This resolution was adopted, and the convention adjourned till morning at 10 o'clock. The chief event of to-day and the feature of the convention was the report of the committee on resolutions. It is a complete evasion of both the financial and tariff questions, and neither was even remotely referred to. The report is based on an old article of the Nationa of line, and representing about one-fourth of the total railway cap italization, were in the hands of receivers. On the same date the total railway mileage in the United States was 178,708.55, an increase during the year of 2,247.48 miles. Eight States and one Territory, among the Staes being North Car-olina, showed a decrease in mileage, due to re-measurements and aban-donment of lines, this decrease ag-gregating 153.72 miles. The total number of locomotives was 35,492. an increase during the year of 704, and the total number of "cars 1,278,- 078, an increase of 4,132. Tho number of passengers carried per locomotive was 62,639 and the pas-senger miles per passenger locomo-tive were 1,444,400. The number of passenger cars per 1,000,000 pas-sengers was 53, and the number of freight cars per 1,000,000 tons of freight was 1,888. During the year 1,579 locomotives and 30,386 cars were fitted with train brakes, and 1,197 locomotives and 34,186 cars were fitted with automatic couplers. A large proportion of the total equipment—71.80 per cent.—is still without train brakes, and 72.77 per cent, without automatic coup-lers. The total number of railway em-ployes on June 30, 1894, was 779,- 608, a decrease, as compared with the number on June 30. 1803, of 93,994, or 10.70 per cent. This decrease is, of course, due to the heavy falling off in trailic and the endeavor of tho railways to econo-mize. The total amount of reported railway capital was $10,796,473,- 813, or $62,951 per mile of line. This is an increase in the amount outstanding during the year of $290,238,103. The amount of stock paying no dividend was $3,066,- 150,094, or 63.43 per cent, of the total amount. ■ The average divi-dend on the dividend paying stock was 5.41 per cent. The number of passengers car-ried was 619,1188,199, an increase over the previous year of 26,127,- 5S7. This increase was occasion-ed by the World's Fair travel. The average number of passengers in a train was 44, and the average distance traveled by each passen ger was 23.06 miles. In freight trailic there was a decrease of 106, 932,929 tons. The gross earnings of the roads for tlie year were $1,- 073,361,797,, a decrease as com-pared with the previous year of $157,390,077, or 12.07 per cent. The amount of fixed charges and other deductions from the income was $429,008,310, leaving a net in-come of $55,755,970 available for dividends, a decrease as compared with the previous year of nearly 50 per cent. The amount of divi-dends paid was $95,575,976, a de-crease of only $5,353,90'.' from the amount paid the previous year. During the year 1,823 railroad em-ployes were killed and 23.422 were injured, as compared with 2,727 killed and 31,729 injured in 1893. The number of passengers killed was 321, an increase of 25, and the number injured was 3,304, a de-crease of 195. Of the total number of fatal casualties to railway em-ployes, 251 were due to coupling and uncoupling cars, 430 to fall-ing from trains and engines, 50 to overhead obstructions, 145 to col-lisions, 108 to derailment, and the balance to various other causes not easily classified. To show the ratio of casualty, it is stated that 1 employe was killed out of every 128 in the service, and 1 injured out of every 33 employed. The ratio of casualty to passengers is in striking contrast to that of railway employes 1 passenger having been killed out of each 1,912.618 carried, or for each 44,103,228 miles traveled, and 1 injured out of each 201,248 car-ried, or for each 4,709,771 miles traveled. These statistics are very inter-esting, though much of the interest is lost in in the fact that they are | so verv old.—Charlotte Observer. going to Wash-ington to have the marriage cere-mony performed was that under the laws of North Carolina the union would not be binding if tho ceremony was performed in the state. Mr. and Mrs. Bauer went on from Washington after the cer-oniony for a tour of tho Northern cities and it is their expectation upon their return to make Raleigh their home. In the meantime, however, the startling development has come to light that the same law applies in this state to the in-ter- marriage of white people and Indians as that which prohibits the inter-marriage of the white and colored races, and the marriage above referred to will be null and void in case the contracting parties return to the state and attempt to live in the state. Among other things our laws declare (Sec. 1810 of the Code) that "all marriages between a white person and a ne-gro or Indian or between a white person and a person of negro or Indian descent to the third genera-tion, inclusive, shall be void." Un-der our laws such a marriage, al-though it took place outside'the state, will not only be invalid but the parties will be subject to in-dictment in the courts should they return to the state and live to-gether as man and wife. The par-ties are both well known and high-ly esteemed in Raleigh. The bride is an attractive, pretty and accom-plished young Indian woman, well educated and of unusual bright-ness of mind and personal attrac-tion. She is a native Cherokee In-dian and was educated at the Ox ford Orphan Asylum and the Thomasvillc Orphanage. She has been in Raleigh for several years engaged in work as stenographer and type writer and was a ward of the late Maj. Jno. B. Weatherly. She was the official stenographer of the North Carolina Teachers' Assembly and has from time t0 time done re'portorial work for the Raleigh newspapers. Her educa-tion is thorough and she is refined and modest in manner. Mr. Bauer is a well known architect and has for several years had an establish-ed reputation in Haleigh and over tlie State.

C-A SOUND MONET CLUB. One Organized at Wimington by a Mass-Meeeting of Democrats. WII.MIXUTON, June 20.—A mass-meeting of citizens, composed chiefly of business aien was held in the court house to-day and or-ganized under the name of the Democratic Sound Money Club. Article three of the constitution as adopted reads: "The object of this organization shall be to pro-mote the intelligent study of the monetary and financial questions, to foster a loyal support of the Democratic administration and to A Combination of the Iron Manu-facturing Concerns of the South. A New York specia! says: A movement which promises to result iu tho formation of a combination of the more important iron produc-ing and manufacturing corcerns of the South was inaugurated in this city to-day at a meeting of the ex-ecutive committee of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company. There were present at this meet-ing John II. Inman, C. C. Baldwin James T. Woodward, J. Edward Simmons, James Swann and l'resi-dent N. Baxter, Jr. Although the entire details of the meeting were not made public it was stated that the Tennessee Company had en tered into an agreement with the Sloss Iron and Steel Company, which has heretofore been a most active competitor, for the forma-tion of a joint selling agency, the object of which is to enable the two concerns to market their products at a greatly reduced cost. It is understood that the com-mittee likewise discussed plans for the regulation of prices and took measures looking to the prevention of the sharpi-utting in prices which has proved so hurtful to tho indus-try in the past. It is expected that a new schedule will be an-nounced shortly. • The Tennessee company to-day made an advance of 50 cents a ton in the price of pig iron, which makes an advance 6ince April 1st of $1.75 per ton. This advan?e, it is calculated, will increase the rev-enue of the company by nearly $1,000,000 a year. The stock of the Tennessee Iron LADIES' FRIEND. THE BEST.

Last .iii Congress appropriated
$-jniI.Iiini f„r a Government Build-ing
und exhibit. This is on a
summit of a hill to the left of the
Administration Building. A pow-erful
searchlight will be placed on
mo. Near by will be a small
building fur the United States ord-nance.
Here will be shown mod-ern
machine guns, rapid-lire guns
and projectiles,
The exhibit of the Interior de-partment
will contain several new
features. Prominence will be giv-en
to those industries which affect
the South. Machinery connected
with the manufacture of cotton
will be Bhown "ii a larger scale

the Geological Survey will show
particularly the recources
and mineral wealth of the South.
i; - the most striking exhib-it
in the Gevernment Building will
be that of the United States Fish
1 ommission. The Dsb will occupy
thirty tanks, which will be arrang-
■ i in a grotto. The sea water will

will be stored in un immense reser-vuir
underneath the building, from
which it will be pumped into the
tank-. The fresh water supply
can be obtained without storing,
from the city's water-works.
I exhibit of the Division of
Fon -try will be placed in the For-estry
and Mining Building. It
will show the splendid forest re-sources
of the Southern States bet-ter
than any previous exhibit. Ac-cording
td Dr. Kernow, Chief of
the Division of Forestry, one of
the most interesting exhibits will
be a set of three models—one to
a 100-acre farm in the
hill lands of the South, which by
bad cutting and management has
..lied, furrowed and silted
over; another to show how, with
bush dams, with ditching, proper
drainage, with terracing, sodding
and replanting, the lost ground
be recovered, while the third

The exhibit of the mineral re-
I i.i' S ui L will be very"
complete. No-th Carolina alone
can show as large and varied a col-lection
ni gems ..mi geological
specimens as any state in the
L'nion. Scarcely less varied and
valuable are the mineral resources
of Georgia. The Agriculture
Building will be .101 feet long, 150
feet wide, and 110 feet in height to
the centre of the dome. It is ex-pected
that this exhibit will give
to the Northern people a better
notion of the extent and variety of
farm products and stock in the
South than has heretofore been
possible. The progress in agricul-ture
in the South has been very
rapid in late years. Southern
farmers no longer pin their faith
to one crop—cotton. The "truck"
farms of the South now supply
Northern markets with fresh and
green vegetables and small fruits
in early spring. The Southern
fruit trade has grown enormously
of late years and the supply of
Georgia peaches is something won-derful.
The Negro Building will be 275
feet long. 111' feet wide, and 70 feet
in height. Here will be arranged for
display the work of the negro.
This should be one of the interest-features
of tho Kxposition. Par-ticularly
noticeable will be the ed-ucational
exhibits, including the
technical instruction connected
with the industrial arts.
The Fine Arts Building will be
situated on a hill between the Man-ufactures
Building and the Gov-ernment
Building. It has been de-signed
after the Renaissance style,
and will be one of the most attrac-tive
structures on the grounds.
The floor area will be about 15,000
square feet and the wall nrea about
25.000 square feet. The floor
space in the centre of the building
will be given up to sculpture. The
two large galleries at each end will
be reserved for paintings contrib-uted
by artists of Europe and
America. The Architectual League
of New York City will have two
galleries set apart for its exhibit.
The design for the Woman's
Building was furnished by Miss
Mercur, of Pittsburg. It has a
frontage of 150 feet, 123 feet deep
and 70 feet to the top of the dome.
Mr. Cooper, of the Department of
Publicity and Promotion, has said
that every Southern state would
be represented. It is probable
that at least half a dozen Northern
states will have exhibits. Califor-nia
will erect a building of the old
mission style, in which the varied
and wonderful products of the
state will be displayed. The other
states likely to be represented arc
Illinois, Tennessee, Pennsylvania
and New Mexico. New York and
Massachusetts have not been heard
from officially.
One cf the principal objects of
the Atlanta Exposition will be to
promote closer trade relations and
larger commerce between this coun-try
and the countries of South and
Central America. Special ell'orts
have been put forth to have these
South American States represented
by exhibits. The responses have
been most favorable. l'resident
Dias has announced his intention of
making an elaborate exhibit of the
resources of Mexico at the Expo-sition.
The Argentine Republic
has appropriated $25,000 to make
a display. The Chilian Congress
voted $10,000 for the same purpose.
Venezuela, Honduras, Nicaragua
and Paraguay propose to make ex-hibits.
The exposition will have a Mid-way
l'laisance. The amusements
and attractions will be stationed
on a broad street to be called "The
Terrace." There will be about the
same features that made the Mid-noted

The Republican League Clubs Ignore
the Silver Question.-Wo-men
and Coons in the
Convention.
CLEVELAND, O., June 20.—The
national convention of the Repub-lican
League clubs met here yes-terday
and the first day's proceed-ings
was carried on entirely ac-cording
to programme. The speak-ers
were D. D. Woodmansee, chair-man
of the Ohio delegation, who

cago,
One of the principal objects for
holding the Atlanta Exposition is
to attract visitors who have never
been in the South—to interest
thoss who know little of the re-sources
of the Cotton States. In
this way it is* hoped to bring set-tlers
to its fields and lands and
capital to its industries. The rail-roads,
which will be most benelit-ted,
recognize this fact, and they
arc ready and willing to make lib-eral
concessions. Vice-President
St. -1 ihn. of the Seaboard Air Line,
says that the rate will not be more
than one fare for the round trip,
probably less than that. The pis-senger
agent of the Southern Rail-way
says that the fare will proba-bly
be less than $50 from all points
as far north as New York.
HOW THE HOUSE STANDS.
It Is Certain There Will Be No
Legislation Favorable to Silver.
WASHINGTON, D. C, June 19.—
There are 359 members of the
House of Representatives. Tho
gold men claim to have 250 against
freo coinage to 10(1 in favor of it.
There will be 211 Republicans in
the next House, 105 Democrats
and 7 Populists. Of the 244 Re-publicans,
only 24 are for free
coinage; of the 105 Democrats, 75
are for free coinage. From this it
is certain that no legislation fav-orable
to silver can pass the next
House.—News and Observer.
Running on Full Time.
John Inmnn writes that cotton
mills in all parts of the South are
working full time and making mon-ey.
"Some of the large mills in
which I personally own stock, are
not only working full time, but
night and day, using a double force
of hands, and although they have
advanced the price of their pro-duction,
the demand is greater
than they can supply."
city, and President W. W. Tracy,
of the League.
Over two thousand delegates
from every state in the Union but
Maine, New Hampshire and North
Carolina, were in their seats when
the gavel dropped for order, be-sides
a number of visitors of both
sexes who came with the delegates
and heaped up the full measure of
enthusiasm. Music, flowers, flags,
and streamers were abundantly
provided, and the arrangements
were perfect. Each delegate and
press representative was furnished
with a programme which served
also as a ticket of admission to
various places of amusement. In
addition excursion, banquet and
street car tickets were provided.
The surface lines were free to
every visitor.
The lirst delegation to enter the
hall caused great applause from
the spectators who had already as-sembled.
At its head was a pretty
brunette, bearing a silken United
States flag in her -hand. It was
Miss Pronnie Knowlton, of Van
Buren, Arkansas, daughter of the
head of the delegation. This dele-gation
was quickly followed by
others, and when the convention
was called to order, there were
about four thousand persons pres-ent,
three-fourths of whom were
delegates.
Every delegation, besides the
badge of the national convention,
wore the badge of its state, and
few were so conservative as not to
wear also badges of either silver or
gold, as indicating their choice on
the currency question. There
were many colored delegates among
those who sat in the convention,
and not a few of the delegations
were accompanied by a number of
fair enthusiasts, who clapped just
as loudly and yelled just as lustily
as the most ardent disciple of Lin-coln's
principles.
Just before the convention be-gan
there was considerable discus-sion
as to who would be the presi-dent
of the League in place of W.
W. Tracv, who will resign. It was,
however practically acknowledged
on all tides that Gen. McAlpin
stood the best chance, in faot that
there would be nobody else in the
race to stay.
The convention was opened by a
song by the National Republican
League Glee club, a body which
sprang into existence for the oc-casion.
They recited how the
Democrats would be surely snowed
under in 1S!»6, and for an encore,
told it all over again to another
air. After the band had augment-ed
enthusiasm by playing a medley
of patriotic airs, Rev. Lloyd Darse,
of Cleveland, called down divine
blessings on the assemblage. A
call of states by the secretary
showed them to be represented as
follows:
Alabama 22, Arkansas 34, Cali-fornia
5, Colorado 7S, Connecticut
22, Deleware 4, Florida 1, Georgia
5, Idaho 4, Illinois 08 and alter-nates,
Indiana 02 and 62 alternates,
Iowa 54, Kansas 30, Kentucky 51,
Louisiana 34, Maryland 3, Mas-sachusetts
20, Michigan 58 and 150
alternates, Minnesota 38, Missis-sippi
4, Missouri til, Montana 14,
Nebraska 31, Nevada 10, New Jer-sey
10, New York 148 and 250 al-ternates.
North Dakota 12, Ohio
94, Oregon 12, Pennsylvania 130
and 250 alternates, Rhode Island
14, South Carolina 2, South Da-kota
18, Tennessee 50 and 50 al-ternates,
Texas 27, Vermont 7,
Virginia 12, Washington 1, West
Virginia 26, Wisconsin 44, Wyo-ming
10, Arizona 4, District of
Columbia 10, New Mexico 12, Ok-lahoma
4, Utah 14, and the Ameri-can
Republican College League 10
—a total of 2,280.
The organization then began by
slips being passed to each state to
fill out with tho names of members
of committees. While this was
being done, the coming fight on the
silver question was foreshadowed
by a motion made by II. Clay
Evans, of Tennessee, that all reso-lutions
be referred to the commit-tee
on resolutions without debate.
This resolution was adopted, and
the convention adjourned till
morning at 10 o'clock.
The chief event of to-day and
the feature of the convention was
the report of the committee on
resolutions. It is a complete
evasion of both the financial and
tariff questions, and neither was
even remotely referred to. The
report is based on an old article of
the Nationa
of line, and representing about
one-fourth of the total railway cap
italization, were in the hands of
receivers. On the same date the
total railway mileage in the United
States was 178,708.55, an increase
during the year of 2,247.48 miles.
Eight States and one Territory,
among the Staes being North Car-olina,
showed a decrease in mileage,
due to re-measurements and aban-donment
of lines, this decrease ag-gregating
153.72 miles. The total
number of locomotives was 35,492.
an increase during the year of 704,
and the total number of "cars 1,278,-
078, an increase of 4,132. Tho
number of passengers carried per
locomotive was 62,639 and the pas-senger
miles per passenger locomo-tive
were 1,444,400. The number
of passenger cars per 1,000,000 pas-sengers
was 53, and the number of
freight cars per 1,000,000 tons of
freight was 1,888. During the year
1,579 locomotives and 30,386 cars
were fitted with train brakes, and
1,197 locomotives and 34,186 cars
were fitted with automatic couplers.
A large proportion of the total
equipment—71.80 per cent.—is still
without train brakes, and 72.77
per cent, without automatic coup-lers.
The total number of railway em-ployes
on June 30, 1894, was 779,-
608, a decrease, as compared with
the number on June 30. 1803, of
93,994, or 10.70 per cent. This
decrease is, of course, due to the
heavy falling off in trailic and the
endeavor of tho railways to econo-mize.
The total amount of reported
railway capital was $10,796,473,-
813, or $62,951 per mile of line.
This is an increase in the amount
outstanding during the year of
$290,238,103. The amount of stock
paying no dividend was $3,066,-
150,094, or 63.43 per cent, of the
total amount. ■ The average divi-dend
on the dividend paying stock
was 5.41 per cent.
The number of passengers car-ried
was 619,1188,199, an increase
over the previous year of 26,127,-
5S7. This increase was occasion-ed
by the World's Fair travel.
The average number of passengers
in a train was 44, and the average
distance traveled by each passen
ger was 23.06 miles. In freight
trailic there was a decrease of 106,
932,929 tons. The gross earnings
of the roads for tlie year were $1,-
073,361,797,, a decrease as com-pared
with the previous year of
$157,390,077, or 12.07 per cent.
The amount of fixed charges and
other deductions from the income
was $429,008,310, leaving a net in-come
of $55,755,970 available for
dividends, a decrease as compared
with the previous year of nearly
50 per cent. The amount of divi-dends
paid was $95,575,976, a de-crease
of only $5,353,90'.' from the
amount paid the previous year.
During the year 1,823 railroad em-ployes
were killed and 23.422 were
injured, as compared with 2,727
killed and 31,729 injured in 1893.
The number of passengers killed
was 321, an increase of 25, and the
number injured was 3,304, a de-crease
of 195. Of the total number
of fatal casualties to railway em-ployes,
251 were due to coupling
and uncoupling cars, 430 to fall-ing
from trains and engines, 50 to
overhead obstructions, 145 to col-lisions,
108 to derailment, and the
balance to various other causes not
easily classified. To show the
ratio of casualty, it is stated that 1
employe was killed out of every 128
in the service, and 1 injured out of
every 33 employed. The ratio of
casualty to passengers is in striking
contrast to that of railway employes
1 passenger having been killed out
of each 1,912.618 carried, or for
each 44,103,228 miles traveled, and
1 injured out of each 201,248 car-ried,
or for each 4,709,771 miles
traveled.
These statistics are very inter-esting,
though much of the interest
is lost in in the fact that they are |
so verv old.—Charlotte Observer.
going to Wash-ington
to have the marriage cere-mony
performed was that under
the laws of North Carolina the
union would not be binding if tho
ceremony was performed in the
state. Mr. and Mrs. Bauer went
on from Washington after the cer-oniony
for a tour of tho Northern
cities and it is their expectation
upon their return to make Raleigh
their home. In the meantime,
however, the startling development
has come to light that the same
law applies in this state to the in-ter-
marriage of white people and
Indians as that which prohibits the
inter-marriage of the white and
colored races, and the marriage
above referred to will be null and
void in case the contracting parties
return to the state and attempt to
live in the state. Among other
things our laws declare (Sec. 1810
of the Code) that "all marriages
between a white person and a ne-gro
or Indian or between a white
person and a person of negro or
Indian descent to the third genera-tion,
inclusive, shall be void." Un-der
our laws such a marriage, al-though
it took place outside'the
state, will not only be invalid but
the parties will be subject to in-dictment
in the courts should they
return to the state and live to-gether
as man and wife. The par-ties
are both well known and high-ly
esteemed in Raleigh. The bride
is an attractive, pretty and accom-plished
young Indian woman, well
educated and of unusual bright-ness
of mind and personal attrac-tion.
She is a native Cherokee In-dian
and was educated at the Ox
ford Orphan Asylum and the
Thomasvillc Orphanage. She has
been in Raleigh for several years
engaged in work as stenographer
and type writer and was a ward of
the late Maj. Jno. B. Weatherly.
She was the official stenographer
of the North Carolina Teachers'
Assembly and has from time t0
time done re'portorial work for the
Raleigh newspapers. Her educa-tion
is thorough and she is refined
and modest in manner. Mr. Bauer
is a well known architect and has
for several years had an establish-ed
reputation in Haleigh and over
tlie State. He designed the new
