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 mains will rest in the gray granite sarco phagus with the late lamented Prince 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 robes are at each corner of the tomb.— [London Society. VERY THOROUGH. Mother—ls your Uncle John's wife x thorough housekeeper?

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.

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.

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.

WlLsod, chairman of the people's party state committee, who stands indicted for belonging to a sec ret oath-bound political organization, that Wilson shall, in the superior court, enter the plea of nole contendere, that no judgment shall be pronounced, and that Wilson shall pay the cost. This is a happy solution of this political prose cution, and is satisfactory to the people. The North Carolina railway commis sion fixes 25 cents as the rate for a tsn word telegram from one point to another in the state. A message from Winston was filed at Elizabeth City by E. P. Al bea, and an extra charge wa3 made on the ground that the message was trans mitted via Richmond, Ya., and thus passed outside of the state.

Tbe bank had 4 capital stock of $500,000 and surplus fund and undivided profit of $195,000.

Private dispatches received at St Au gustine, Fla., Monday night say th t in the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West cases an order was entered denying for the present he petition in the case of the American Construction Company and stayingthe New Orleans mandates in that case and in the of the Pennsylvania company for lives, aud granting annui ties against the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West Bailway Company; that in the latter case a rule be entered returnable April 17th why certiorari should not is sue to quash the New Orleans decision in fifteen days.

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. A RICH FIND. Workmen Engaged in Excavating Un earth One Million Dollars in Gold.
