Tho new cotton mill contracted fur at Roanoke rapids will contain 12,000 spindles and will later have 130,000 Bp indies. All the capital stock has been sub- i Bcribed for a §00,000 cotton mill at Hillsboro. Arrangementsarc complete for build ing a §3100,000 cotton mill at Mayo’s falls, near Madison. The excessive tax of 4 per cent on druggists, imposed by tho last leg- | ifdature, from which it was expected to yield §100,000, will not yield over 80,000. It is discovered that Rev. R. A. Ful ler, who is charged with sending un infernal machine to a woman at Cen- tralitt, state of Washington, was quite recently at Charlotte. While there ho talked constantly of a widow at Cen- tralia who, he said, had rejected him. He paid attentions to several Char- . lotte ladies. A sensation was created at Raleigh ' Thursday afternoon by tho present ment by the grand jury of the supe rior court of H. I*. Satterfield, princi pal clerk of tho lower house of’ tho last legislature, and J. U. Brown, en rolling clerk, for failure to do duty as officers in permitting tho uot to pre vent assignments to be enrolled which had never passed either branch of the legislature. Revenue Deputy Dancy, riding at night in Wilkes county, was attacked by three white moonshiners and knocked from his horse. One of tho men jumped upon and stamped him with heavy boots. Dancy shot this man through the shoulder. The-other two meu lied. Dancy was about to ■hoot the wounded man again when the lutter begged him to spare his life. The grand jury in tho superior court at Raleigh returned a true bill ogainst Mrs. Uuttio D. Barrington and threo brothers named Barnes, printers, for publishing in a weekly paper called The Criminal Docket, a malicious li bel, charging ex-Judge Spier Whita ker, of Raleigh, with having stolen 81,300 of her money. All these de fendants have been arrested.

Moreno pleaded not guilty, and gave §1,000 bail for h:s appearance at the October term of court. An Explosion Kills Five People. An explosion occurred Sunday in a powder magazine at Tivoli, Italy, eighteen miles northeast of Rome. Five persons were killed and several injured. The cause of the explosion it unkuewB, At the courthouse every available place for Feeing and hearing was taken advantage of and railings and stair ways and tables wore crowded ; wagons and buggies woro pushed up to tho high windows of the courtroom and a sea of faces looked in at the proceedings. Indictments having been found, promptly at 8 o’clock proceedings be gan with Elizabeth Nobles, tho wife, Dubby Nobles, tho oigliteon-year-old daughter of William Nobles, and (Ins Fumbles, Mary Fumbles and Dalton Joyner, negroes in the prisoners’ dock. These five had joined their cases and were to bo tried together. The Jury was rather easily obtained. The state objected to two or threo only, while tho defense rejected raoHt of those placed upon thorn. About six went off for being opposed to cap ital pumshment and a dozen for not being impartial. The story as told by tho witnesses shows tho murder to have boon one of tho most unprovoked and cruel in tho annals of crime. Ashley B. Combs told how he went to see Mrs. Nobles when ho learned of the disappearance of her husband, whom ho had known so many years, lie thought Mrs. Nobles a good woman and expressed his sympathy for her in her trouble. Who told him how Mr. Nobles hud left to go to Danville or Allentown with some plows and to got a little dram. Bho expressed herself as being very uneasy and very much troubled at her husbaud’H continued absence. Suspicion being aroused, Mary Fum bles and her husband were arrested. Tho Fumbles woman confessed and implicated tho others. Then all of them confessed except Dalton Joyner, who strongly denies any complicity. These confessions, however, were not made until tho body lmd been found. Sheriffs. E. Jones testified that ho went to tho Nobles place in response to a telegram. It was after dark when he got there. There was much exoito- rnont and several times exclamations of “hang them" wero made. Tho hatchet’with which tho murder was committed was produced in court. Debby told tho sheriff sho wanted the old man killed because ho was rough on her. In answer to tho question as to whether she had given him cause to bo rough i n her, she answered: “Once." Asked what that was, she answered that she had a baity. I Mary Fambles told Sheriff Jones I that Mr. Nobles anil Ous had some words in tho field, Bho told Mrs. No- | bles about it, and remarked that old man Nobles ought to be killed. I “Then why in tho devil don’t fills kill him?” was Mrs. Nobles’ comment. | Be on otto Arnold testified an to find ing tho body. The grave was only live feet long and twenty inches deep. Nu- | bios was very tall and Bparely built. I Tho legs had to bo doubled up to get him in tho grave. Tho skull at tho I back of the head was crushed. ' Haywood AVynn told how old.Mrs. Nobles had decoyed her husbaud to tho plnoo of his death by dropping corn upon the ground as though thieves had dropped it thoro. Bho persuaded him uot to go to the dwel ling house when he came in from work at dusk, hut to go immediately and take his stand for the corn thieves. Bho said she would get his gun for him. Bho did not carry the gun, hut hid it bo that the children, not seeing it in its usual place, would suppose she hail carried it to their father. Dr. E. J. Denson testified that there wero three wounds and that either of them would have produced death. The position of the wounds showed that the persons who gave them wero stand ing and that Nobles was in a stooping posture. Ejffio Nobles made a statement saying she knew of the murder, but took no part in it. Dalton Joyner stated that ho went to Ous Fambles’ house on the night of the murder after a chicken. He got the chicken and left. He said he was not gone more than fifteen minutes, lie denied any complicity in tho crime. Mary Fambles simply denied know ing anything about the murder. All of these prisoners, except Dalton, have confessed the crime repeatedly hereto fore. The evidence of other witnesses was about tho same as the above. Tho de fense introduced no testimony. (Ins Fambles told the witness, Coombs, and others, that Mrs. Nobles struck the first blow, which felled tho old man to a stooping position. He, Fambles, struck the second, and Dal ton Joyner, the third blow. All agree that Mrs. Nobles paid §10 to have him killed, and one witness 1ms testi fied that, she promised him §50 more, and Kfiio promised §10. This was in Mary Famhles’s confession in the courtroom. Solicitor Eason, in outlining tho stato’s case, created somewhat of a sensation by saying they did not even give him a Christian burial, but took him off into the bushes and shoved hirn into a hole as if he were a hog. ness except Gus Fambles. Ho was evi dently almost in a state of collapse during tho entire proceedings. Tho old Nobles woman was as coni as a block of ice, and Debby was almost defiant in her brazen effrontery. Tho speeches wero able. Solicitor Tom Eason, Colonel L. 1>. Shannon and John M. Stubbs made masterly arguments for the state. All of these acquitted Dalton Joyner because they had failed to find convincing evidence against him. In Ids charge, Judgo Smith directed tho jury to bring in a verdict of acquittal iu Joyner’s case. All believe him to be guilty, but as tho Scotch verdict read, it was not proven I he defense were heavily handicap ped. Messrs. Warren & Nottingham were like swimmers thrown into deep water with a heavy weight about their necks. They had no evidence, no ex tenuating circumstances—nothing to stand upon. They did splendidly, and much to the surprise of many, they succeeded in acquitting Debby Nobks, and Mary Fambles only received a life sentence to tho penitentiary. 'I ho verdict of tho jury was a sur prise to many nml much dissatisfac tion has been expressed at it. Tho conviction of Mrs. Nobles and Debby and Gus Fambles ami Mary, his wife, was considered by many a certainty. Mrs. Nobles and Ous wero convicted in the first degree and soutonood to hang on August ltith. Mary fambles was convicted with a recommendation to life imprison ment. Debby Nobles was acquitted. Dob- by, tlio daughter, was the fountain head of all the trouble. It was her li centiousness that had caused tho trou ble in tho Nobles household. It was a contest between a virtuous man in the person of old man William Nobles ou one side and his depraved daughter, l acked up by his wife, on the other. His reproof and consure wero cutting and thoy determined to got rid of him. The solemn death sentenced pro duced no perceptible effect and tho old woman and Debby wero laughing in less than a minute after it had been pronounced. Dalton Joyner, in tho opinion of many, is guilt y of assisting in tho murder. Gus Fambles says Joyner struck one of the blows and assisted in putting old man Nobles un der tho ground, but the state failed to make out a case against him and ho goes soot free. It was Debby and not Efflo Nobles, as previously published, who said in the statement on tho witness stand that she know about tho plot, but hud nothing to do with it. It was Debby who also promised to give an addi tional 810 to lmvo her fatlior killed and not Kfllo. Miss Efllo is a nico and dutiful daughter and know nothing of tho plot. Tho prisoners wero taken to the Bibb county jail for safe-kooping. No motion for a new trial has been made uud it is not probable that there will ho one. It is safe to say thoro will ho no petition from tho county asking the governor to commute tho sentence of Mrs. Nobles.

Brinlsl root's review of trade for tho punt woek snys: At tho close of tho second week in July tho condition of trade generally remains practically unchanged, although commercial and industrial activity at many points continues more conspicuous than usual at tho midsummer season. Trices generally continue strong, exceptions being found among the cereals, hog products, codec and load, while, as significant as anything else, are tho exceptionally favorable outlook for trade in tho full and tho encouraging promise for the wheat and corn crops throughout tho central, western and northwestern stales. Bessemer pig iron is higher again, 811 being asked at Pittsburg and 815 expected iu tho near future. Hteel bil lots lire also higher, us are galvanized and black sheets, hides anil manufac tured goods generally. Heavy re ceipts if cuttle and hogs, good crop reports and reduced purchases of wheat abroad will explain reactions iu tho commodities referred to, while sugar, print cloths nnd cotton have remained firm at labt week’s quotations. Now business in dry goods is quiet, but pricos are steady, and dress woolens are firm ou tho higher price of raw wool. Bank clearings throughout the coun try thin week present the largest total since the period of the panic in 1893, 81,HC.OOt),00(1, 00 per cent larger than in the second week of July, 1804, and 14 per cent larger than iu tho second week of July, 1893. Juno railway earnings show con tinued improvement in tho largest gain for any mouth within two yearn. Tho only notable fulling off in June is tlint in earnings of the southern reads, caiisod by the coal miners’ striko on the Norfolk and Western railroad. There were ‘200 failures in business in the United States this week, as com pared with 197 last week, 929 in tho second week of July,1894, and 39!) iu a like week iu 1893. Among eastern cities there is a change for tho better at Pittsburg, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Provi dence. Manufacturers of woolens and jewelry report a better demand, wliilo all forms of iron nnd steel uro iu active request, these features result ing in tho stimulation of business in other lines. With a few exceptions general trade is quiet, and summer dullness prevails throughout the south. The exception is with respect to iron mills, which are running full time. This is conspicuous at Chattanooga and beginning to he so at Birmingham. At Atlanta sales of hardware nre larger, but these of dry goods, shoes and groceries uro smaller, New Or leans reports only a fair Volume of I business-' less than was expeetsd. THU GEORGIA SOUTHERN AND FLORIDA KAILWAY. II envy I’ll roll a sen of the Certificates living Made at Hiittliuore. The steady buying of Georgia South ern and Florida bonds at Baltimore tlio last few days has attracted consid erable attention in financial circles. Although only 820,000 were sold Sat urday, they rose to 10J for the last lot, which was $4,000 -a gain for tho day of S, and 3J inside of two wooks. At tho close of tho market l()2j was bid with none offered. There lias lieon a rather irregular advance iu these ocrtiUcates over since the South ern railway acquired a controlling in terest in the railroad, the buyers ex pecting Hint tho new securities to tin issued will occupy a position relatively hi good ns those of tho Georgia Tiicilio, Columbia nnd Green ville mid Western North Carolina railroads, all of which roads uro owned by tlio Southern, subjoot to tho mortgage bonds. A number of large llniinciiil institutions linvo been buying tho Georgia Southern and Florida cerlillcutoH with a view of exchanging them for the now 5 per cent, fifty year gold bonds to bo issuod about the middle of August under tho plan of reorganization. At the. head of the syndicate is the Maryland Trust Com pany, which is in closo connec tion with tho Bout her u railway inaiingeuioiit and rooontly arranged tlm lltimioiiig of the Charlotto and Go luinbia extended 5 per cent bonds. Tho syndicate expects to retain tlio now bonds ns an investment, or to sell them when they advance in value. The new mortgage is $4,000,000 upon tlio 28' miles of road from Macon, Gu., b I ’ninthii, Flu. The syndioato which will issue tlio new bonds lias purchased the neighborhood of $2,000,000 of the certificates. THK FLOOR COLLAPSUD Ami the Audience Fell Through In a Struggling Heap.

An nlnrii) was immediately sent out, and all tho physicians in town re sponded. Tho work of extricating tho injured proceeded rapidly, and by 12 BUSINESS REVIEW. Ilrudstroots’ Wookly Report of Trade Conditions. Brndstrect’s review of trade for tho past week says: There are 197 business failures re ported throughout tho United States this week, as compared with 215 last week, 104 in tho first week of July, 1804, 319 in 1893 and 152 iu tho like woek of 1892. Total business failures in tlio Do minion of Canada number 25 this weok against 28 last week, 39 iu the week one year ngo and 2(1 two years ngo. “Notwithstanding tho weok is broken by a holiday, favorable trade conditions heretofore reported continue to exercise a pronounced influence, prominently general advances in prices and ill prices of staples and in wagos of industrial employes. Tho extent of tlio voluntary advances in wages reported within a month or two Iiuh outgrown tho re sources of voluntary statistical bureaus which liaro endeavored to keep truck of, latest, advices being that more than one million industrial workers have received an advance averaging about It) per cent. “Tho upward tendency of prices, while not ns marked ns a mouth ago, is still striking, beenuso of additional advances; thoso of lumber, tin plate and print cloths liolng new.

A CHALLENGE. nimotiilllsts Want u Discussion With Sound Money Men. Tho following letter has been sent from tho uflieu of the American Bi- metallio League in Washington City: “Wamiinuton, D. C., July 8.—lion. Charles H. Fairchild, Chairman Com mittee on Hound Currency Reform Club, 52 William Street, New York. Dear Sir: Tho exis’tenoe of tlio com mittee ou sound currency, of which you nre chairman, with the existence at tho same time of tho American Bi metallic League, which I have tlio honor to represent, evidences a wido diversity of opinion on tho money question. Each organization is labor ing to oducato the people ou different theories of money nnd each advocates different financial policy. ’They cannot both be right. “Tho deep interest manifested on this subject throughout tlio United Htutcs and tho importance of arriving nt tlio truth that the people in tlio coming elections may net wisely him suggested that a candid discussion ef tho question by representative men of the two organizations might coudueo to a better understanding of tho truth and be highly beneficial. “With this view tlio Birnotnllio League respectfully iuvitos tho com mittee on sound currency to a discus sion of tho money question on dis tinctive propositions to be argued up on and to lie carried on by questions and answers. “I would suggest that not more than fivo nor less than threo on a side bo selected to conduct tho discussiou to bo bold at some time and place a< may bo agreed upon. “Should this suggestion meet your approval I would suggest au early meeting to agreo upon tho proposi tions to he discussed aud the regula tions under which tho discussion shall be conducted.

An important conference of demo- orntio candidates for the United Htates senate and statu officers, tho democratic state committee and prominent party leaders, was held in Louisville, Ky., Friday. Among thoso present wore Senator Blackburn, Hon. J. B. McCreary, General H. B. Buckner, General P. W. Hardin, Lieutenant Governor Alford, Attorney General Hendrick, Auditor German, John H. Ulicu and other prominent democrats. Tho relation of tho candidates for senator to thu state campaign whs tlio principal topic of discussion. Senator Blackburn, as the leading candidate, took an aggressive part iu the confer ence. He made a sensational seech nt ail open mooting this afternoon, ques tioning the right of tho state commit tee to call him off the stump or to dio- tnto Ilia policy. Ho declared that the stato platform, by endorsing tho national democratic platform did not eliminate tho silver question from the campaign. Cleveland and Carlisle construed that platform in favor of a gold standard, but lie and many other dom icrats refused to iiccopt that con- fctructiou. In a secret conference that followed the opening meeting Senator Black burn in said to lmvo intimated that lie would ignore tlio state committee if it sought to muzzle him, and his friends say lie is confident that a majority of the nominees on tlio state ticket will repudiate tho platform and follow him in liis light for free silver.

ENGLISH FLECTIONS CONSERVATIVES HAVE THINGS THEIR OWN WAY. Speaker Gutty Will Probably I.oso Hlf Job —Many Surprises. A Loudon cable dispatch says: Tlio Unionists started in tho first day of tho elections for members of the now parliament, liy returning twenty-eight men to tho houso without opposition, while tho liberals returned only three, tlio Parnellito faction of the Irish party also scoring three. Thu con servative organs hail these results us a good omen,and rightly, too. Thesuccess of unionists nt the polls in actual con tests cannot anywhere nearly corre spond with this showing, hut there is an undoubted signilleuneo in the fact that tho lihcrala have permitted jugil- ment to go against them liy default in so largo a number of constituencies at the very beginning of tlio conflict. Tho remainder of the constituen cies in which there is no opposition now show only fifteen whoro there is no unionist standing, against 115 where there is no candi date representing the liberal party. This state of things is very reasonably regarded aa tho result of conviction on tho part of tlio liberals that tho intost is hopeless in these particular divisions or districts. Hitherto tho liberals lmvo contested tin so scuts with tlio notion that there was a remote clutnco of bagging one bore and there, hut on this occasion they seem to lmvo concluded that it would bo a waste of timo and energy to make tho attempt. Consequently they havo abandoned the campaign in these districts aud tlio liberal executive committee him de cided to concentrate its efforts in eon- testing for tlio doubtful seats in the coiiBcioiisnosH that thoy will lmvo enough to do to capture tho share which tho Inst general election allotted to them. If tHoy do this they will tio extremely lucky, and, indeed, nobody believes thnt they expect it. Thu worst of all the misfortunes that havo overtaken the liberals nml homo rulers iu this campaign, or iu fact sineo the retirement of Mr, Gladstone, has been thu disclosures made by Mr. Timothy M. lleuly concoruing the re lations of the liberal whips with tho nnti-lhirnellito leodors. Every liberal uml every McCarthyite deploros these revolutions, nnd thu fooling is wide spread that all of the power which tho priesthood usually exerts over the Irish electors, or all of tho power which they aro capable of.exerting, will fall very fur short of counteracting tlio baneful influence of Mr. lienly's disclosures.
