It will ba remembered that on the 21st of last July the deceased had a difficulty with Motorman Kelly on one of the electric cars of the street rail way, and that he was struck in the head! by a brass motor crank- in the I hands of the motor. man.

of Btarion Butler' Paper Burned Oat, and tit Jail and Fourteen Business CXoneea Loss from $75,000 to Clinton, N. C. Oct. 6J Special. -The quiet and peaceful town of Clin ton was Burred by the alarm of fire early yesterday morning, and for three long and dreary hours its citizens, men and women, boys and girls, white and black, foueht the fierce flames with bravery and persistency seldom wlt eased'.

j. -U The fire alarm was sounded at 4 a. ana tno people nurrying to tne scene saw at a glance the great extent of the danger which threatened them. A store just between the corners of two of the nrincioal business streets was burning and a strong wind was blow ing. Everybody was appalled and re all zed the danger and fought hard, but fate was against them.

The fire originated In a Btore occu pied by the Farmers' Alliance, though there were but few goods on hand. This Alliance store haying failed last spring, the stock of goods were being closed out. From this the fire crossed the street to the store occupied by M. Hanstein, and It swept the whole solid block, known as Wall street, up to and including the store of Maj. W- A.

Johnson, and a dwelling back of his store. The dwelling of Mr. 'C P. Johtson juBt across the Btreet was also damsged. The office of the Caucasian, run by Marlon Butler, was burned, the press and all materials being ruined.

His subscription books were the only thing saved. The county jail was burned, but no prisoners escaped. The prisoners in tail were the first to discover the fire, the Alliance store being near them. The origin of the fire is not positively known. Some claim it to be the work of an incendiary and of a political one, too.

It Is all wr jpt in mystery. The origin be what It may, the result is a serious blow to the town, but plucky Clinton will not be Before the fire had ceased its' work a contract was being made for a new building. The total loss will be between and S100.0C0. The principle lossers are: Mai. W.

BUTLER AND GLENN. A Bed Hot Time at Their Joint DIicui alon at Fayetteville Yesterday The Lie Passed and a Collision Barely A ret ted, Fayetteville, OiL 6. Special. The joint discussion to-day between K. H.

Glenn and Marion xsutler was attended by about 1,500 people. Party feeling was running high, and when Mr. Gleen began speaking the' cheers and applause showed that fully were Democrats. Glenn's speech was a great and grand one. He arraigned Butler in such a way as to leaye "no skin bn him at all," as one enthusiastic Democrat expressed it.

He read frcm Butler's paper the various articles endorsing Cleveland, and the State ticket, and deploring the attempt to form a Third party, as it could only win by the suf ferance of the Republicans, and he asked Butler to tell the people why he had changed his views, how he could esdorse Cleveland one 5 ear and vote for his re-election, and the next year denounce him for the very acts which he at first applauded. Glenn's attack on Butler's record was terrible, yes horrible, and the vast crowd yelled ap proval. Butler'a reply was a weak effort. He failed to reply to a single one of Glenn's questions, and failed to show, or attempted to show, how they can get relief through the new party. His crowd cheered him, and if it had not been for this comfcrt, Butler would have broken down completely.

"Glenn's rejoinder- was limited to twenty-five minutes, and he answered very effectively in a few minutes every point Butler attempted to make, and when he raised his big fist above his head and told Butler he was deceiving the people, and had failed to answer a single question or deny a 6lngle charge, the crowd went wild with enthusiasm. Butler replied, in a fifteen minute speech, and Bald that he had been treated with more discourtesy to-day by Mr. Glenn than at any other time. Glenn jumped up and declared that if Butler charged him with being dis courteous he was an infamous liar- Thifd party men and Democrats made a rush for the stand and a free fight was avoided by the coolnees of a few level headed men. Vne man by the name of Butler started for Glenn and terrUpted him In his rejoinder, but was promptly made to take his seat by Glenn telling him to sit down, and that he would not be interrupted by any man.

This inci dent passed eff, and was followed by tne other. Butler said he had not charged Glenn with discourtesy, whereupon Glenn got up and eaid if that waH bo, he deeiredto withdraw his charge of infamous liar, iL.l 1 1 1 a a ma oe wouia aiiow no Third party man to get ahead of him in beiDg a gentleman.

and almost everyone is also aware that the reason given by the Sugar Trustfor the advance was that on account of the cholera InUermany ana thanntHnfy nff a Bllhnlv fYf T5l sugar from that country, the price pf raw Bugars had advanced so that it was necessary to also advance! the price of refioed sugars. i Now, wbat are the facts in the case? We find in the MESSENGER of May 81, 1892, the following cible dispatch Berlis, May 30.Laat year worth of sugar was exported to America from the consular iurisdiction of Berlin, including the two great sugar centres, Ham burg and Madge burg. tne nrst quarter of this year not one pound was exported One hundred thousand tons of raw sugar are now stored at Hamburg and an eqal amount held at Lubeck, and jin the manufacturing districts.) German producers wish to sell but no buyers appear.pt ia a very unusual situation and many Tea-sons hate been given for its existence. An Associated Press correspondent thought it wise to make a thorongh investigation of the German markets in order to rind out how the, situation might possibly effect American sugar consumers. From the statements of many of the leading sugar dealers it was learned that the American bugar Trust is purposely keeping away from the German markets in order) to lower raw products.

The trust hopes to buy the German stock of sugar very cheaply in the erid. From the ab jve dispatch it will ba en that the American Sugar Trust did not buy any German Sugar during the first quarter of and not only during jthe first quarter, but up to the time this cablegram was sent, May 30, 1892, they were still but of the German market. Does It not, therefore, look rather; gauzy for the Sugar Trust lo put up such a plea after they had demonstrated that they could get along without the German sugar for five months? 1 TtfnOT riirl raw mien aritranrrA as ttaev would rave us believer We the New York Dally Commercial Bui letln, a recognized authority on market reports! and turning to the issue of July 29th, 1892, we I find Mus covado raw sugar, 89 degree test. Quoted at 21 cents tier doudq. This is one kind of raw sugar out of which some of the lower grades of re fined sugar are made.

We find in the same paper, same day, granulated Eu gar which is the grade used as a basis for quoting the market, quoted at 4i to 4.44 per pouud that isJ the sugar trust sella to tne iobbinsr trade at 4ic per pound aud the jobber tella lo the retailer at 4.44. Now We take the i-ame authority bearing date of Sept, 29th, 1892, and we find Muacavado raw sugar ay degree test quoted at 3c per pound, aa advance of i of a cent per ponnd, while granulated sugar lis quoted in the same issue at 5c to 51:18 an advance of i of a cent per pound. They might claim that only the lower grades of refined sugar and not the granulated were made from the Mus covado raw sugar 89 degree test. sucu oe ineir claim tne figures show ttiat the advance on the lower grades Of refioed sugar has been eyen more than on granulated. I jniw wnat eaaoieo tnese sugar oarons to perpetrate tulsi great inius tice upon the American people We 1 A 1 repiy mat me ivepuDiican party is responsible for it a party that fosters trusts and enacts a tariff law to protect the manufacturer at the expense of the great mass of the people.

But we hear some one say there is no tariff on sugar now. Bugar is free. Yes, we know that is the general impression prevail ing in the minds of many throughout oar country, out such is only partially the case. Sugar can be imported into this country free of duty, but only the graces under number its Dutch siand ard, very dark in color and not fit for consumption, without passing through the rentiers' hands. All grades above number 16 are subject to a duty of i cent per pound, giving toe American refiner protection not only to the extent of the tarirx tax oi cent per pound, but also to the extent of the freight, say from England, or cent per pound more.

I' What has been the result of this big aavancer ine sugar Trust nas been too greedy and overstepped tie mark, xne Jiogiisn renners are able to oav the freight and the duty of cent per pound and sell the jobbing- trade pf New York at a price tnat enaoiea tnese jobbers on Thurs day, September 29th, to offer EnglUh granulated sugar to the retail trade of Wilmington at i cent per pound un der tne American Sugar Trust price. We see, therefore, that on Mondav. uctooer sru, lsaz, tne sugar trust dropped tneir price on jgranulaled sugar d-ib or a cent per Dound. in We have been told on good authority that the English granulated can be im ported and landed in NewiYork citv. freight and duty paid, at.

41 cents per pound, netting the English refiner not over Si cents per pound at his refinery. Yet be enjoys no advantages in the way of purchasing his sugar not enjoyed by the American Sugar Trufct. They both buy their raw sugars in the same market. i What conclusion are we forced iA arrive at after viewing the above facts Simply, that under the Government by the Republican party which fosters trusts and enforces a tariff for oroteo tion, Sugar Trust i9 enabled to make at least 1 cent her nound profit over and above i their le gitimate profit as refiners of sugar. This means 13 per barrel, and if the consumption of sugar be 10,000 barrels per oay, it means 300L0j per day! i 1,000,000 per month, $12,000,000 per year, taken unlawfully from the sugar consumers of the United States and put into tne pocKeis oi me ougar Trust.

We are not sure but the consumption of sugar is at least 20,000 barrels per .4 it 1 i i and If sol the above fitrures must oe aouoiea. The same facts that exist with rej gard to sugar also exist with regard to manyothers of the necessariee of under this iniquitous tariff for protect tion. One thousand are heavily taxed that! one may become enormously wealthy, and what is the remedy? Go 1 ta tlle 1,0118 on November8ibi, 1892, and I ca8Vour baIlot for he Pariy that wU1 i trusts and advocates a tariff I the necessaries of life of the roor. i I TWO EXCKLLENT VALUES IN COLORED tiv. vu.
