INMAN’S BIG DEAL.
He Makes Another Heavy Purchase of
Tennessee Coal and Iron Stock.
A New York special sajs: In Wall
street the lightning never strikes twice
in the same place, but John H. lorn in
does. About five years ago he made the
biggest deal in Tennessee Coal and Iron
company’s stock, which, up to that time,
had ever taken place. Ou that occasion
he bought 11,0 )0 shares from William
Duncan, of Nadivi le, at and so soon as tho
purchase became gent rally known, Ten
nessee coal bo< mod, enabling Mr. Inman
to realize over SIOO,OOO profit on his
trade. Saturday he discounted his deal
with Mi Du can, buying for him elf
and associates 22,500 shares of the same
stock from Colonel H. F. Deßardeleben.
For several months past it has been
common talk in Wall ttreet ih t Colonel
Deßardeh ben owned over 60,000 shares
of Tennessee coal, and it was thought by
s 'ine that the recent hiavy decline woud
force him to dump his ho dings ou a
fal ing market, and thereby invo ve him
in serious financial embarrassment. '1 he
colonel has prove t his abi.ity to take
cure of himself, iven in Wall street. By
this deal with Mr. Inman he gets about
$600,000 in cash and still remains the
largest b dividual stockholder in the
Tonne see Coal and I on Company.
Victoria’s Last Resting Place.
W'hcn the Queen dies her mortal re

Albert’s ashes. Underneath the arms of
the Queen and Priucc Albert, ou the
monument, is inscribed “Farewell, well
beloved. Here at last I will rest with
thee. With thee in Christ I will rise
again.” The white marble recumbent
statue of the Prince Consort is in the
uniform of a Field-Marshal, wearing the
mantle of the Order of the Garter —this
is on the right; the left side of the lid
and the unoccupied space is where the
Queen’s body will be laid. Bronze angels
with the outstretched wings and flowing

THE SENATE.
The presentation of petitions at the
present extraordinary session was stopped
at Monday's session at the suggestion of
Mr. Gorman, and those petitions thu
may be icceived hereafter are to be filed
with the secretary of the to be
pre ented at the next rcgi? session.
The question as to the admission of the
three men appointed as senators from the
states of Montana, Wyoming ahd Wash
ingroD.was submitted in the shape of in a
j rity reports from the common privileges
and elections in favor of their right tc
seats. Mr. Chandler offered two resolu
tions, which went over till Tuesday,
one calling on the secretary o
the treasury for copies of orders,
regulations, manifests and certificate
prepared and issued in execution
of the immigration act of March 3, 1893,
and the other instructing the commit t e
on immigration to inquire int the con
dition and character of alien emigrant
and into the working of the new immi
gration law with power to sit during recess
and send for persons and pipers,* Th'
resolution heretofore offered by Mr. Cali
in relation to the commi-sion authorized
by the last legislative appropriation bib
to examine into the civil set vice of tin
executive branches of the g vernmen
was called up, and after some discussion
was without action. The s mate tlior.
proceeded to executive session business
and soon adjourned.
At Tuesday’s session of ;he senate
Mr. Vance, chairman of the committe
on privileges and elec ion, in behalf o'
the majority of the committee, submit
ted a report ou the case of the lion. Lo
Mantle, finding that he is not entitled t<
his seat as senator from Montana. Tin
report was signed by Messrs. Vane ,
Gray, Palmer and Mitchell. \s in th
caseo f the majority report, presenter
Monday by Senator Hoar, th minority
report deals directly only with the
claims of Mr. Mantle, but both are in
tended to cover as well the ruses of al
three of the appointed senators —Mm-
tle, Beckwith and Allen. The qulo
tion presented, according to the mi
nority report, is, could the rovernor ol
a state appoint a senator at th; beginning
of anew teim, the legislature being i
session and refuuug or fnilin ; to elec ?
The report quotes the oonstit tional pro
vision and act of 1866, relo ive to tlu
election and appointment o senators,
and then contends that the origin a
terms of senators must beg;a by being
chosen by the legislature. Resolutions
to proceed to the election oj prretnrv.
sergeant at-arms and chaplain ot the sen
ate, who are not to take office until the
30th of June next, and .nominations for
those offices respectfully William R
Coxc, of North Carolina; Rich
ard J. Bright, of Indiana, and
Rev. Dr. William 11. Milburn
were offered by Mr. Gorman and
laid over until Wednesday. Notice was
given by Mr. Hoar that he would call up
Wednesday the report of the committee
on privileges and elections as to the three
senators appointed by the governors.
Mr. Hoar also offered resolutions, which
went over, instructing the committee on
privileges and elections to investigate the
allegations of criminal embezzlement
made against Senator Roach, of North
Dakota, and to report what is the duty
of the senate in relation thereto. After
a short executive session the senate ad
journed.
ABOUT THE DEPARTMENTS.
The president sent the following nom
inations to the senate Tuesday: George
D. Dillard, of Mississippi, to be consul
general of the United States at Guay
aquil ; Ezra W. Miller, of South Dakota,
to be attorney of the United States for
the district of South Dakota.
A letter from Secretary Morton has
been addressed to every bureau in the
department of agriculture, asking whether
any reduction could be nude ic the num
ber of his employees without impairment
of the public service, it being desirable,
in the interest of economy, to lessen the
expenses of the department.
The following fourth-class postmasters
were appointed for Georgia Tuesday:
Adairsville, Bartow county, George B.
Elrod; Buckhead, Morgan county, Dr.
Ellis H. Ad ms; Fairmount, Gordon
county, William 11. C. L'oyd; Heard
mont, Elbert county, Wilbara 11. Mat
tox; Sharp Top, Cherokee county,
Charles C. Worley.
After numerous conferences among
themselves the republican members of
the senate have decided that they will
insist UDO3 an investigation of the
charges that have been made in the pub
lie prints relative to the character of Mr.
Roach, recently elected a senator by the
legislature of North Dakota and now
occupying a seat in the senate as a dele
gate.
The senate was in executive session
Monday morniDg for upwards of an hour,
and the greater part of that time was
cousumed in a discussion relative to the
injunction of secrecy on the treaty with
Russia that was recently ratified by the
senate. The injunction was Dot, how
ever, released although the majority of
the senate is in favor of it, and the pro
position also meets with the approval of
the state department.
Secretary Herbert will soon take up
the question of chancing the color of
warships. The present shade of white for
vessels of the American navy are found
to be doubly as expensive as the formei
black. It is diffiult to keep the hulls
clean in appearance, and the shade is not
considered sufficiently deceptive, day or
night, to elude an eye. It is understood
that the paint experts will reecommend
a return to black, and that after the re
view should any of the vessels be re
painted the hulls may coiue from the
dock bearing the old-time color.
Dr. F. O. St. Clair, for more than
twenty-seven years head of the consular
bureau in the state department, has been
removed. Late Saturday afternoon Sec
retary Gresham sent aqotg to Dr. St,
Clair notifying him that he desired him
to tender his resignation at once, and
further that his assistant, Mr. W. G.
Faison, of North Carolina, had already
been appointed his successor, and would
assume the duties of the office. Ths
was naturally a surprise to Dr. St. Clair,
who had never b:fore dreamed that his
official conduct bad been called into
question. He sought an explanation
Irom the secretary. The latter is said to
have told him that he had been guilty of
holding back official papers on the score
that they were personal letters.
Monday’s Nomination!*.
The president, on Monday, sent to
the senate the lollowing nominations:
Felix A. Reeves, of Tennessee, to be so
licitor of the treasury; Joseph A. James,
United States attorney for the Northern
district of Georgia; William T. Gary,

at Asheville, N. C.; Henry J. Tuggle, at
Martinsville, Ya.
CYCLONE SWEPT.
Great Beat ruction of Property But
Comparatively Few Lives Lost.
A Memphis special says: A disastrous
cyclone swept over Tennessee Thursday
afternoon in a southwesterly direction
from Mississippi. The wires are down
in all directions. There was no tele
graphic communication with Nashville
and intervening points for some time,
and little news was obtainable from the
places visited by the cyclone. Memphis
barely escaped. A heavy rain fell and a
high wind blew at the time the cyclone
raged. At 2:30 o’clock Friday morning
the wire at Kelly, Miss., was tapped and
details telegraphed to show that the
' arly reports were not exaggerated. Not
i hou c escaped the stoim’s fury, and
only a few are left standing, and they
are badly damaged.
LATER DISPATCHES.
A Louisville, J£y., dispatch says:
The heavy storm which passed over a
targe portion of the south Thursday
night, did great damage. The storm
was in the nature of a cyclone at Bow
iug Green. Between fifteen and twenty
houses were unroofed and the unfortu
nate occupants rushed pell mell into the
streets. The most serious damage done
was that to the Louisville and Nashville
roundhouse, which was leveled to the
ground. The falling material did serious
damage to the engines inside the build
ing, several of them being badly smashed
up. Employes at work in the building
escaped injury. The loss to the Louis
ville and Nashville Railroad Company ou
the building and 1< comotives is estimated
all the way from $75,000 to SIOO,OOO.
Among the roofs blown tff at Bowling
Green was the court house, which was
considered the finest public building
outside of Louisville in the state. The
loss on this will amount to a considerable
sum.
The town of Rowlins was almost en
tirely destroyed. The postoffice build
ing was swept entirely away, together
with all the mail, seme of which was
found too miles off. The loss is fuily
SIO,OOO. The storehouse occupied by
Stephens & Cox was also demolished and
their stock, valued at $5,000, was ruined
by the rain which followed tho crash.
Several other buildings were demolished.
WIKD IN INDIANA.
A tornado Miuck Alexandria, Ind.,
Thursday night, damaging residences,
business houses and destroying the Lip
pincott glass factory. The factory was
totally wreeked. r ihe damage exceeds
$5,000. John Ancle, Jr., was instantly
killed, and a number of others were in
jured, some of them seriously. Three
hundred and fifty men are thrown out of
employment for two weeks.
Information reached Natchez, Miss.,
Friday night that the eastern portion of
Richlatfd parish, especially in the Arch
bald neighborhood, was fearfully dam
aged by Thursday’s storm. A number
of buildings were blown down and several
lives are reported lost, but no definite
details have yet been procured. There
is no telegragh connection with the scene
of the alleged disaster.
KING HUMBERT ASSAULTED.
A Miscreant Hurls a Rock at Hint bat
Missed the M#rk.
Rome, Italy, was greatiy excited Sat
urday afternoon over an assault that was
made ou King Humbert. The king was
returning from the villa Broughese, where
he had been spending a portion of the
day, when a person, having the general
appearance of an Italian workingman,
threw a stone at the king, tho missile
a'most striking. Several persons rushed
upon the assailant and seized him before
be had another chance to make an at
tempt at violence.
The assailant was promptly taken in
hand by the police and conveyed to
prison. Otherwise in all probability he
would have been killed by the angry
multitude. An immense crowd assem
bled aDd cheered the king with frantic
enthusiasm and all the way to the palace
the scene was like a triumphal progress.
King Humbert gracefully acknowledged
the ovation and was evidently deeply
moved by the evidence of loyalty on the
part of his subjec’s.
Damage from Ice Gorges.
Dispatches of Tuesday state that the
breaking of the great ice gorge in the
Delaware river and the consequent sub
siding of the water on farm lands along
the Delaware reveals damage that will
require years to remedy. It is estimated
that the total loss from the freshet
amounts to $1,000,000.

ret oath-bound political organization,

cution, and is satisfactory to the people.
The North Carolina railway commis
sion fixes 25 cents as the rate for a tsn

and will raise their force to 200 men.
They claim to have a process for V. M.
Locke and Albert Jackson, citizens of

A PECULIAR TRIAL.
Charged With the Offense of Being a
Member of “Gideon’s Band.”
A Raleigh, N. C. special says: The
trial of S. O. Wilson, chairman of the
people’s party, and alleged member of
“Gideon’s band,” came up in Wake su
perior court Tuesday. Wilson’s council
and the solicitor of this judicial district
had already agreed upon a plan to dis
pose of the case, aud the witnesses were
not to appear several days ago. The
trial has attracted attention not only in
Noith Carolina but all over the country.
The courtroom was crowded with spec
tators.
Solicitor Pou said that the state was
ready to allow a non-conteridur entered
on the docket; that the prosecution was
intended rather to set an example and
not for the purpose of punishing the de
fendant. Counsel for the defendant said
that the evidence of the existence of such
an organization was very wi ak and that
there was no direct proof that the de
fendant belonged thereto, that the de
fendant pleaded “not guilty,” but,rather
than be taxed with further costs, they
would agree to a nol pros. Judge Brown
directed the clerk to noi pros the case,
Wilson to pay the costs, which are small.

Spanish gold coin. Tho amount of the
treasure is not known to the public, tut
it will reach fully SIOO,OOO. A certain

them employed in working the rich mines
