Washington, Sept. 14.—The conferees
on the sundry civil appropriation bill
reached a conclusion upon all tbe points
of difference between tbe two Houses.
The following statement covers
ail of tbe items of general interest
which were in dispute. The provision for

to-day tbe lRoanoke river had risen
thirty-seven feet over low water mark,
flooding Northampton and Halifax
counties, and doing immense damage to
tbe entire corn ana cotton crops in the
lowlands, in the vicinity of the river.
Houses are loose and are being
tossed about in the water, and it is fearea
that many lives have been lost.
In some of tbe corn-fields water is
twenty feet deep, and is fl.ieen feet above
the top of the corn. The country is flooded
to a distance of three mi'es from
the river, and in many places,
tree tope alone give evidence or
the existence of laud, Cattle have
been drowned and many carcasses are
floating aronnd. People living in the vi
cinity of the flood are panic stricken and
many of them homeless.
Tbe damage to t ie crops is - imated

dollars. At 3 o’clock the . ivei jc^au fa'iing

Atlanta, Sept.14.—The court room
of Recorder Anaerson was crowded this
morning, the announcement having been
made that the cases against Capt. llenry
Jackson and Mr. Tom Cobb Jackson would
come up for trial. Both gentlemen, ac
companied by a number of friends, nota
bly those with them on Tuesday, were
present.
Mr. J. C. Campbell wps also present, his
eyes heavilj bandaged. He stated that
ho was present in obedience to a summons
from the court, and was not directly or
Indirectly in any way responsible tor, or
intersted in the prosecution. The
charges were disorderly conduct and fight
ing. Capt. Jackson plead guilty for him
self, and not guilty for his son. Judge
Anderson heard the evidence in both
cases, including the statement made by
Capt, Jackson and Tom Cobb Jackson
Among the witnesses examined were
Mr. Hoke Smith, Postmaster Renfroe, and
Mr. Campbell. The proceedings were
marked by a rather good humored charac
ter on the part of the court, the spectators,
and those concerned in the trial as princi
pal and witnesses, with the exception of
Mr. Campbell. He was neatly dressed, de
liberate and dignified in his manner, and
withdrew from the court-room soon after
giving his testimony.
After reviewing both cases very briefly.
Judge Anderson imposed a fine of $50 and
costs upon each of tne gentlemen. This is
probably the last of the sensation for the
present, but Saturday’s issue of the Ava
lanche is expected to give the affair more
or less prominence in its columns.
The Fulton Primary.
There is considerable curiosity in tbe
public mind as to what course the Execu
tive Committee will ultimately pursue
with regard to the primary election held
Wednesday, which they refused yesterday
to recognize. It was announced to-day
that a meeting of the committee had been
called at noon to take further action in
the premises, but it was apparently
without foundation. Mr.HerbertCulberson,
chairman of the committee, stated this
morning that he did not intend calling the
committee together unless requested to do
so by the members.
It is also rumored that the prohibition
ists will hold a meeting to-night aud agree
on a ticket to put in the field.
Sam Small occuped the chair at a ma s
meeting in the court house to-night, which
had been called to out out a straight pro
hibition ticket for tne Legislature in ouuo-
sition to the Democratic nominee. The
meeting was opened with prayer, auer
which Rev. Small made a speech agaiDSt
the l>eniocratic nominnatiou; against local
option and high license, and urged an
open and vigorous contest for a ticket of
prohibition, which would tight in the Leg
islature for a state law. As .'or the Senate,
he announced that if no other candidate
was put out, he would make the sacrifice,
and take the field in tbe Thirty-Fifth
against Mr. Rice. The meeting nominated
for the Legislature P. L. Myuatt, John
Thomas and Major Charles Hubner, and a
committee was appointed to wait on the re
gentlemen.

DUN’S WEEKLY REVIEW.
A Record of the Vacillation of Business au<l
Speculation for Seven Days.
New YoKK, Sept. 14.—R, G. Dun & Co’s,
review of trade for the week, says that the
week has been one of further improve-,
ment in business, notwithstanding some
disturbance in the speculation markets.
The passing of a dividend bv the St. Paul
caused a fall in stocks, and the Govern
ment crop report a fall in wheat. Tne ex
port trade, though improving continues
small, but tbe volume of legitimate busi
ness is large and increasing, and there >s
an improvement in the productive indus
tries.
The crop report was so much 1ns j
gloomy than the other ecent accounts i
that It caused a fall of 31 in wheat and 31 j
in oats, with corn 1 cent lower. The es
timate basis upon the reports differ es
usual, but whether the figures are correct
or not, they appear to indicate a total
yield of 415,000,000 bushels of wheat, whicn
with a large surplus of 51,000,000 oushels
from previous years would meet all re •
quiremeufs.”
The monthly statement of the furmrees
in blast, shows an output of 125,966 tors
of pig iron weekly. An increase of 657
tons for the mouth, and the prices, never
theless, are well maintained with a stiffen
ing at Philadelphia and Pittsburg. South
ern production gains largely aud the dc
manu for bar ana other manufactured iron
improves, but in steel rails there is no
change for tbe better.
The cotton statement also shows that
the consumption in manufacture has been
4 per cent larger than for the previous
year, with a considerable increase in spin
dles in the South. In the wool manufac
ture there is no new signs of improvement.
Once more reports from interior poiuts are
uniformly encouraging, both as to volume
Washington. Sept. 14.—The House bill
to grant the right of way through the
military reservation at For; Morgan to tne

bor Ra'lroad Company was taken .;om the
calendar and passed in the senate to-day.
Mr. Platt’s resolution of yesterday in
reference to the copper syndicate was
then taken up. The debate which follow
ed had but little reference to the resolu
tion. It was always p^hticp 1 , and at one
time took the Erection of a discussion
upon the tuiff. Mr. Vest said that tne
House tariff bill had come over to the Sen
ate on July 23, and had not yet been re
ported. He remembered that Mr. Sher
man had time and again stood >n the Sen
ate chamber and said to the Democrats:
“Bring your tariff bill here from the
House, and we will take it up at once and
dispose of it.’’
“Where ” he asked, “was the Miils b ; ll

from the committee on finance, and he
doubted veiy much whether any tariff bili
would be reported back. He was most
anxious to see whenever it did come back,

disinherited Knight at tbe tournament of

Mr. Allison also took up the same theme.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Wheels of a Wagon Pase Over Judge Eason's
Face and Chest.
Judge J. T. Eason, of Crawford, narrowly
escaped being crushed to death yesterday
afternoon. He was coming into tbe city
by the lower wagon bridge, riding in Irs
sulky. A wagon loaded with cotton wps
in front of him and another just behind.
Both teams belonged to himself. The
mules attached 10 the rear wagon
took fright from some cause and ran
agaiDSt Judge Eason’s bulky, precipitating
him to the floor of the bridge. The
front wheel of the heavy wagon
passed over his face and the hind wneel
across his chest and shoulders. The wagon
was loaded with four bales of cotton, yet
notwithstanding this great weight,

E itch. The first direct information from
ir. Jerome Cochran, State Health Officer
of Alabama, who is now in Decatur
watching developments from the outbreak
of the fever there, came late this evening
in the following official report telegraphed
Maj. Reese, of Montgomery:
“Decatur, Aia., Sept. 14.—Hon. W. S.
Reese, Mayor of Montgomery: No case
has developed since Spencer’s death.
All the persons who were exposed are now
under observation and will not be permitted
to leave. There is a great panic here, but
ought not to be. I will telegraph you
promptly if any new cases develop, i do
not think there is any need of quarantine
anywhere, as the regular trains do not
stop here.”
(Signed) Jerome Cochran.
The Mayor and Board of Health of
SSS, had nothing
deal’s message, high tariff, tariff reform,
low tariff, or free trade; it was simply
bringing wages down to what was being
oaid at the iron mines of New Jersey and
Fennsylvania.
It is scarcely credible that* Mr. West
brook could have made the statements at
tributed to him, in view of the fact that
the Mills bill gives the same protection to
o es—namely, 75 cents a ton—as was given
under the tariff' of !SS3, and in view of the
improvement in the iron bu*iness since its
passage. It is not true that the miners in
tend, because of tariff legislation, to vote
the Republican ticket. As a body they are
in accord with the Democratic party in
this campaign.
The report furthermore says that Mr. C.
S. Westbrook, Superint'ndent of the com
pany, and sou of Mr. C. R. Westbrook, the
President, inserted slips in the pav envel
opes on the last pay-day, instructing the
employes to vote for Harrison and Mor-

A New York special says: Ever Bince
“Nero” was first performed on States Is
land, Erastus Wyman has been tiyiug to
get the ministers to come aud see it. Many
have done so individually, )but the great
mass of ministers have made no distinc
tion beween the big open-air shows and
other theatrical perforauces in their de
nunciations of the latter.
“Why should clergymen condemn the
ballet?” asked Mr. Kirally a few nights
ago, after viewing the perfect evolutions

who pirouetted, waltzed and kicked to the
music of one of the greatest of classic bal
lets. Manager Jack Hamilton could not
see why they should, neither could Mr.
Wyman; 60 invitations were issued to the
clergy of New York, Brooklyn and
suburban towns. Mr. Wyman signed
them and they read in part,
vay:

The returns for the first day, Tuesday,
were noble. Exactly 150 ministers re

1,056 tickets among them, or an average
of about seven tickets per minister, which
showed that they either meant
to attend the spectacle seven i
times themselves, or conteinelated tak- I

DANGERS OF THE RA-L.
A Colured Man Mangled on the Columbus
arid Wentei.i Ka ’-oad.
Early yesterday morning the mangled
body of a colored man was discovered on
the Columbus and Western railroad, about
two miles this side of Opelika. It was
literally cut in pieces, the limbr. and head
being completely severed f-om the body.
By what train or in what way the terrible
accident was caused could not be ascer
tained. The first intelligence the authori
ties of the road had of the killing, was the
discovery ot the remains, by the engineer
of yesterday morning’s passenger train,
Subsequently it was ascertained tnat the
man’s name was Robert Meadows,and that
he lived about three miles from Opelika.
Meadows a was married rnan and leaves a
wife and young family to mourn his loss.
The remains were brought to his llate
home, where an inquest was held.
