Hopkins in his confession said that the small phial which was found in the package contained only ink and a very small quantity of powder, just sufficient to burst the phial and alarm the person who might open the package. Sperry is the party who called at tne unlet justice a residence i -evening and inquired whether the mysteri- ous looking package had been received. Both Hopkins and Sperry were arrestdd, charged with conspiracy to 1-5 defraud newspaper correspondents.

Inter-State decisions tend steadily ton ward lower rates for transportation, and the trunk lines have agreed upon uniform export rates by different routes and through different Atlantic ports. The large increase in railroad expenses keeps pace, in numerous instances, with tbe past increase in earnings.

Wbeat and Corn Dull Provisions Active and Stronger. By Telegraph to the Horning istf.r. Chicago, Nov. 4. Extreme dullness characterized the markets on 'Change, today.

Wheat opened strong and higher, December showing- a gain of ic May showed a greater volume of trade than nearer options. It is claimed that December is already being changed to some other option at 1 cent premium. At one time December options got up to 73f c. but before noon the fraction was entirely lost, and it settled back to 73c, and closed at Corn was doll and featureless, and prices fluctuated within a narrow range. The tone of the market was firm, due mainly to moderate buying, at times, by a pro minent local operator.

Outside orders were limited, and there was little disposition on the part of local operators to trade to any extent. Oats were very dull and quiet, and there was no material changes. Provisions were more active and stronger. The market opened rather firm under the influences of an advance in the hog market and a good demand from local and outside shorts. Offerings were fair and readily accepted at an advancing scale of prices with interest centred largely in January.

Later in the day a more quiet feeling prevailed, and prices settled back again, but the market closed steady. Some transfers of contracts were made at current differences. The undertone of the market indicated rather more confidence by outside buyers, and orders were largely on that side of the market. There was some realizing by room traders at outside figures. THE VERNON DISASTER.

Tbe master of tbe Vessel a Confirmed Sot. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Chicaoo, Nov. 4. Edgar Hall, brother of the second engineer of the wrecked propeller Vernon, stated yesterday that tbe last time his brother was in Chicago he told him that Capt.

Thorp, master of tbe Yercon, had an attack of delirium tremens while on top of the pilot house. The testimony of other people goes to show that Capt. Thorp was an extraordinary drunkard, both in port and on a voyage. Many people knew and it ought to have been well known to the officers of the pro peller line. Axel Stone, the only survivor of the dis aster, when asked if he ever saw Capt.

Thorp drunk, replied: "The captain was drunk most of tbe time, and he was very drunk when we left the boggan last week. While we were coming through the straits the second mate said to him, 'Sober up, you drunken beast, and take oare of this boat and The captain told him to go to hell. I was in the cabin at the time and heard every word that was said. Friday night, which was the night that the steamer was lost, the captain was as drunk as ever I saw him, and he kept taking a drink every little while from a bottle that he carried in his coat pocket. I guess that is why the first mate stayed on deck all the time.

He knew that the captain was so drunk that he hardly knew what he was about, and was probably afraid the captain would do something foolish. If the captain had been sober I don't believe the vessel would have been lost, for any sober man would have turned back when he saw how badly she acted in a big sea. Both mates of the Vernon were captains who had taken mates' berths for the lack of belter employment. THE TURF. Ivy city Races Yesterday.

Goldsboro Argu: There were thirty-one cases disposed of ia the Major's court of this city during the month of October, tbe fines aggregating an even one hundred dollars.

We hear considerable fear expressed by our farmer friends that tbe sweet potato crop, that is as yet unhoused, has been seriously damaged by tbe wet spell and the consequent cold weather. Mr. Haywood Edmuodson, Sr.of Greene county, la thought to be critically ill. He, a few nights since, having occasion to move about in hie bedroom without a light, struck his bead against some object from the effects of which he now lies at the point of death. Tbe of Wilmington for the month of October was S3 that Raleigh was 87; that of this city, as we have already stated was only one.

And for tbe six months endtog October 31st there were only 19 deaths. This, in a city of nearly five thousand inhabitants. Rockingham Rocket: The creeks in this section were very full on Mondsy tbe fullest, many say, that tbey ever saw them. Our Solicitor. F.

McNeil), Eq just returned from Moore Court, re- lorts a busy term of four dsys duration ast week. Thirty-three convictions on the criminal docket, with a lively reinforce-meut for tbe penitentiary, make a showing of work for those few days bad days at that: With the exception of about one good case, of type to begin with, one printer has distributed and set every lir of type in this issue of the Rocket, excepting of course, the standing advertisements. Besides this he prepared all of his copy except tbe tentorial matter and a few local items, built bis own fires, swept the office, proved the galleys, made up the forms, tin ted both sides of the paper on a Wash-ogton hand-press, did all the mailing, and, in the meantime, went to a show, a ball, and took in a dog fight. New Bern Journal: Oar information from Trenton is that W.

The following item is clipped from the Washington Progren Mrs. Lincke was sent to jail last summer as an accomplice in the murder of her Jhus-band, and was released on ball by Judge Sliepard upon a writ of habeas corpus: Mrs. Lincke came up last week and requested her bondsman to surrender her to tbe sheriff, stating that she wished to spend tbe intervening time until court in jail. We have not learned tbe motive prompting this action. Mr, Hezekiah Davis, from near Tuscarora, called to see us yea-terday with his right arm in a sling, and in answer to an inquiry as to tbe trouble informed us that while throwing ia feed to tbe horse of tbe minister who was stopping with him, the animal, in a fit of anger grabbed bis right wrist with hi teeth and crushed down upon it sending tbem to tbe bone.

Fayetteville Observer: Thousands of bushels of pess have been injured by tbe continued rain. We regret to hear that a large quantity of corn, which had been pulled and piled on the ground, has been out in all this bd weather. Much of it will be lost. There are a good many dwellings of two and four rooms being built around town. The Scotch Fair will open about Wednesday.

It is a curious assembly of men and horses, not of a strictly moral nature, but the scenes around it are equal to those described by Dickens. We are glad to hear, although it is nothing more than we expected, that the celebrated Tokay vineyard took every premium on wines and brandy, including the gold mtdal, at the recent State Fair. This makes the sixth gold medal which has been awarded to this celebrated vineyard. To hear Senator Vance will be enough for many, but throughout the week, there will be. day after day, something to attract you.

A fine troupe has been engaged, and the young men have perfected their arrangements for the dances, so that all, and especially the young, may have a good time. A writer in the Dunn Bighboard says that the Spears Bally cotton, or Okra cotton, is the Peterkin cotton, which is really a cross of the long staple, or Sea Island, with the short staple. This ia the cotton which has been so successfully cultivated by Messrs. W. Tomlinson and D.

Nabhttllb, Nov. 4.

About 4 o'clock this morning the building occupied, on College street, by Weakley Warren, as a furniture store, was discovered to be on fire. Owing to the inflammable character of ine material the flames spread rapidly through the building and communicated to the adjoining buildings, and the entire block from Bank alley south to the Western Union building was soon burning. The Western Union office was seriously threatened, but escaped without "much damage. The total loss aggregates about $65,000 on the house, insured for on the stock $102,000, insured for about $82,000. During the progress of the fire the walls tf the building adjoining Bank alley fell in and quite a number of people are known to be injured, some probably fatally.

Among the wounded was a son of J. B. Morse, about fifteen years of age; his skull is terribly crushed and he will die. William Stewart, sign painter, had his left leg badly fractured; Bradford Nichol, hand injured; besides a fireman and a number of others more or less injured. Others are believed to be covered by the debris, which workmen are now removing.

The telegraph wires in nearly all direc-. tions were burned, and over one hundred telephone wires were destroyed. The following named firms sustained losses: Weakley WarroD, on stock, $50,000, insured for three-fourths; Atwell Snead, furniture dealers, stock $17,000, insurance Webb, Stevenson hardware, stock $50,000, insured for three-fourths. The building occupied by Weakley Warren belonged to Judge J. M.

Lea and the W. W. Fite estate, and was valued at $26,000, with insurance for $18 000. The building occupied by Att-well Snead, owned by B. F.

Wilson, $15,000, insured for $10,000. The building occupied by Webb, Stevenson Co. was owned by E. W. Cole, and valued at it was covered by insurance.

2 ST. LOUIS EXrLOSION. Tbe Shell of a Dynamite Bomb Found In tbe Rulns-tSnpposed to be Placed There by a Sensationalist. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. St.

Lotjis. Nov. 4. Officers Stone and Palmer, detailed to watch the ruins of the Fourteenth street explosion, while walking over the debris last night at 10.30 o'clock, unearthed an iron Hemisphere, which on examination proved to be the remains of a dynamite bomb. The infernal machine was carried to police headquarters and the cause of the explosion again reverted to the dynamite theory, the rank and file of the police seeing absolute proof of fiends' work in the latest discovery.

Detectives, however, were unshaken in their belief that the catastrophe was purely an accident, as they can find no motive for the deed, and tbe bomb was found among the debris that had been carefully overhauled "the day before. They are open in their as sertions that the bomb was placed there yesterday by some of the sensationalists who have been writing letters to the police and the newspapers, declaring that they were given $500 to "do the job." Already dozen cranks have sent as many letters to each of the St. Louis papers, claiming that they were agents of the horrible As the fund for clearing away the wreck had run out yesterday morning, there were no workmen about the ruins all day, and there was ample opportunity to leave the shell. The coroner will hold an inquest Monday. MARINE DISASTER.
