London operators were generally in their views because of the sharp rise in wheat and the sensational reports from the west regarding the crop outlook. These stories were not confirmed by rail road officials here, but the fact that July wheat touched eighty cents in this market seemed to be corroberation enough for the bears on stocks, who display ed more courage and activity than for months past.

Wheat gained 1 1-2 cents over night and 2 12 cents by the action of the market to day, a total of 3 5 8 cents between the close of yesterday and that of to-day. The same wheat buying enthuiasm that has been the feature for six weeks or more possessed the speculative outside world to-day.

The price cut no figure juiy naa uo in steau oi vo cents mere is no doubt but that there would have been as great if not a greater demand. The trade had none of the professional marks about it The country and the outside public, which are only heard from in times of unusual excitement, were furnishing the buying orders. Every commission house has a line of new customers who, by their general demeanor betray their lack of knowledge of speculative dealings. The talent still holds off and appears to be awaiting an opportunity to the field on tbe short side. Private advices report ing crop damages were more numerous than ever and State reports were out, each of them dwelling to a greater or lesser extent on the injury by, the recent frosts, etc.

Sapreme Court Decides. The case of the North Carolina Rail road Commission against the Western Union Telegraph Company for contempt in charging a rate of nfty cents ior messages to Elizabeth City was to have been heard before the commission yesterday. The Western Union was represented by Judge George V. Strong, who asked that the case be continued until June the fourth. The request was granted by the court and the case went over.

It is understood that Judge Strong's reason for asking for the continuance was to give him a chance to communi cate with the telegraph company officials in regard to having the company submit to the rate of twenty-five cents demand ed by the commission until the United States Supreme Court hands down its opinion. Tte case oi contempt grow out oi tne case of Levitt vs. the Western union Company. Mr. L9vitt was charged hity cents for a telegram to Elizabeth City and prose cuted the company for violating the law by making an overcharge.

Tne case was heard before the Railroad Commission court and the verdict was against the Western Union. As a test, the case was then carried to the North Carolina Su preme Court, which affirmed the decision of tne Commissioners. The case has been carried to the Na tion's tribunal, and the telegraph com pany still maintains the fifty-cent rate to Elizabeth City, Scotland Neck and ether points in the State. Several private citizens have instituted cases against the company, whose per sistence has given rise to the prosecution for contempt. NO PREACHING ON STREETS.

Mr. Morris. Temperance Lectnrer, Called to Order By Officer Jones. Over on Hargett street yesterday morn ng a curious crowd was gathered. Standing high on the top of a woodpile was a kindly-faced, brown-bearded man, delivering a temperance lecture.

Every now and then he displayed before the eyes of the people various charts and char-coal drawings, which were suDnosed to illustrate tne awful work ot liquor on tF. I the human heart and brain and stomach, The crowd was curious enoueh to be re- spectful and the speaker was verv en- thusiastic. Everything was eoincr like a weddinc bell when policeman Jones bovein sitrht. attracted to the spot by the sight of the crowd. Seeing the charts which the speaker displayed, the officer supposed mat he was a salesman of some descrip tion; and promiscuous vending on the streets is a violation of the city ordinance.

Through the crowd went policeman Jones, down came Mr. Morris, the lect-user fiotn his improvised pulpit and over to the police station went the prohibitionist, charts and policeman. in the Mayors office Morns said that he was not trying to sell anything but was only illustrating his talk against the aauuoiis uy ine cnarcs wmcn ne used 1 i i Sunday schools and his open-air ser mons. "So you were preaching," said Chief Heartt. "Yes." admitted Morris.

"Well," said Chief ''the ordinances of this town don't allow reach in er on the street; You may go but must preach here no more in public places." Morris comes from Charlotte. He savs that he has visited nearly all the Sunday schools in the State and all the towns. This is the first time he has been inter fered with. He showed a reporter his charts, which are nothing if not graphic, and delivered an impromptu prohibition talk. "I get nothing for mv work." aSa4in8t this evil which is devouring the women and children of our land." Morns said that he had delivered a lecture in Rev.

R. C. 8tanard Division Freight Agent and Mr. L. A.

Carr, director of the L. D. R. of a suit for $5,000 damages "aM against that road brought by Green and his wife, Jane Green. It is alleged that at some time near Christmas when Mrs.

Green was a pas senger on that train with a ticket for the train did not stnn lone enonsrh at that sta tion for her to get off, and that she was put off in a rough place some distance from the depot, and the result of the walk back to the depot over gullies and brush resulted in great injury to her health.

Duke, O. A. Jordan, W. L. O'Brien, L.

J. Walker, Charles Rogers, Geo. Lougee and J. B. Cobb came up this evening from Carteret Lodge.

They report a most pleasant outing and fine success at fishing. They brought with them a six-foot alligator, which they captured in the lake, near the Lodge, yesterday. Tom Walker is the hero of the saurian conquest. The "gator" was tangled in some fishnets and when attacked seized the paddle with which Mr. Walker punched him and held on to it.

'In the meantime Mr. C. A. Jordan, who held another paddle, was raininer lustv blows upon the animal's head. They finally tied him and dragged him ashore and boxed him up and brought him here.

He does not seem to be much the worse for the rough treatment received, and after a few days he will be sent to J. B. Duke's farm in New Jersey. J. B.

Seventy-five men left a rendezvous near here this morning, and it is said were joined by ope hundred more from New Yorker, an Indian town fo the west. In addition to this news has reached here that five other Indian towns have sent 40 meu each to join the insurgents in their march on the capital. The trouble, it is claimed, is because of the alleged misappropriated by the Creek head of the government of a part of the Creek fund which was to have been paid out per capita to the Indian citizens. Esparheche, who led the insurrection of 1883, is said to be at the head of the present trouble. The council is in session at Okmulge.

The idsurgents declare they will go there to see that the council investigates the matter and compel the chief, L. C. Perry man, to resign and set up Hotu'ke Amrartheler, the second chief, in his stead. The hardware stores did a big business in munitions of war yesterday SUNS COTTON REPORT. The Backward Crop in the South Causes a Heavy Advance in Price.

New York, May 22. Cottton rose 20 to 21 then reeacted and closed barely steady at a net advance of 17 to 19 points. The sales were 329,300 bales. Liverpool 5 to 51-2 points higher; spots l-32d higher, with sales of bales. New Orleans advanced 19 to 21 points.

Receipts there tomorrow at 1,000 to 1,500 against 1,351 last Thursday, and 85,848 la.t year. Port receipts 3,958, against 3,287 last week and 1,764 last year. Spot cotton here advanced 3 16 cent; 138 sold for spinning, 360 for export, and 800 delivered on contract. New Orleans and Augusta advanced 3 16 cent; St. Louis 3 8 cent; Mobile and Savannah, Charleston, Wilmington and Baltimore 1-8 cent.

Manchester was dull but steady for yarns; cloths quiet. Weevil is menacing cotton Texas. Part of the crop in the Carolinas and Georgia needs replanting; damaged in Mississippi by frost; some damage in Auiuauujaj too uooi iwas; crop at a standstill in Arkansas; uninjured ia A A Ml A 1 Tennessee; stunted in Alabama; weevil serious in Mexico and Southwest Texas. The crop as a whole continues backward. Weekly government report was considered bullish.

To-Day's Latham, Alexander statement as to the acreage and condition of the crop had much to do with the great rise of to day, but the government report also had a decidedly strengthening effect, and so did the sharp rise in wheat and the bullish people which will permeate the business world at the present time. Besides, the pool was alive and directly higher. Manchester private advices were encouraging. New Orleans was very bullish, and spot prices here and at the South were rising. The croo is backward, and it is believed that it is going to be much smaller than the last one.

Outsiders were again buying freely. New York, New Orleans, the South generally, Liverpool, and the continent were all buying with avidity, and prices rose easily. Latham Alexander statement, based on replies from 2,141 correspondents, gives the average decrease in acreage at 13 1-2 per cent, and aoasinat tne crop condition is over 12 days later than a year ago; that causes of the decrease in the area are the low price of cotton last year, the curtailment of advances by commission men. the failure of merchants who formerly gave accommodations and, finally, a disposition to increase acreage of food 1 A il A. a prouuew, mat arougnt, excessive rains and cold weather have made the condition unfavorable, and that there was a larger reduction in the use of fertilizers.

The market here to-day was very active and excited, and it is not believed that the bull movement has reached a culmination by any means. 31.1". He Was Returning His Home in from Raleigh to Louisbnrg. Louisbueg, N. May 21.

Roman Neal, colored, of Louisburg, who was shot through the lungs at Neuse by an unknown party yesterday as he was returning from Raleigh, died this morning. Neal was in the car and was shot through the window by some on a on the nlatfornL. A man was seen to j'ump off after the shot and run up a car length, and tried to conceal a pistol in another man's pocket, and failing in the attempt was held by Dr. 0. L.

Ellis, of Louisburg, and the pistol was taken from him. While this was gobog on the man slipped out of his coat and ran. He was supposed to be Bob Garner, a white man, from Youngsville. He was pursued and soon captured. Garner had two pistols when found and one ball was missing from each.

TT fired once at the necrro. it seems, and after the train nad been stopped and a party ran after him, he fired back at the crowd; then ran: off into the woods This morning the trial occurred before a justice of the peace at Wake Forest, and there being no positive evidence and no witnesses, Garner was discharged. The negroes talked strongly of lynching, but Garner was well guarded. As soon as the trial was over he left the place. The negro who was shot was the driver of Capt.

Chas. M.Cooke. No one knows why Garner shot Neal as they had had no previous difficulty on the train. The ball entered the ne gro's right side and took effect in his lung. GARNER JUST ESCAPED.

The Wake Forest Students Saved the Slayer of Komulns Neal from a Negro Lynching Deputy Sheriff Walters returned yesterday from Wake Forest, where he went to obtain the facts in the case of the killing of Romulus Neal, Capt. Cooke's driver, who was shot on an excursion train returning from here to Louisburg. As told in a special yesterday morning Bob Garner, a young white man who lives about four miles from Youngsville, in Franklin county, was arrested for the crime, but released after a preliminary hearing because no one could be found to identify him positively as the man who did the shooting. After he had been released parties came to the office and swore out warrants, claiming that they knew Garner was the shooter. But the bird had flown, for immediately after his release Garner left Wake Forest on a buggy and his whereabouts are unknown.

The night he was arrested there was great danger of his being lynched by an angry mob of Wake Forest negroes who swarmed the town, swearing openly that they would take his life. All Tuesday night the Wake Forest students guarded the supposed murderer on the fourth floor of the college dormitory. COMMENCEMENT AT GUILFORD. Professor Currell'aJAddress Before tbe Societies. Gdilford College, N.

May 21. Friday night the commencement exercises began with a musicale given by the music students and their teacher, Miss Ada Craven. It was undoubtedly the best music recital ever given at Guilford and reflected much credit on the efforts of the teacher. The piano performance of Misses Brown and Parker, and the vocal solos of Misses Smith and Gorrell were especially well rendered. On Saturday night a good audience gathered in the Auditorium to listen to Prof.

Cmrrell, of Davidson College, who addressed the three literary societies on "Books, A Blessing and a Bane." In a very happy mannei the Professor spoke of the helpfulness of books if rightly used, and of the harmfulness of the improper nse of them. Although a literary address, often beautifully adorned with rhetoric, and interspersed with not a little humor, still it was one of great practical value. lie forcibly illustrated the possibility of reading only a small number of books. Hence the necessity of a careful selection, and that they should be such books as have stood the test of time. To squander time upon ephemeral lit erature, and especially the social novel, to the neglect of the great inspiring writers of English and American literature, was held up as an extreme folly.

In a most admirable manner the speak er treated of that intangible and indescribable something the influence of poetry. Without attempting definition. he made his hearers feel that influence is a most real thing, and that those who cultivate the acquaintance of the great poets of an age come into the most intimate spiritual contact with the age.

Wanted Schoo Books Back From the University Company. Sometime ago Mr. wno repre sents the trustees of the old book firm here of Alfred Williams Company, the business of which is now being closed up. wrote to the University Book Com pany in New York and ordered the books of the firm on deposit witn tne latter re turned here. These books are orris North Carolina History and Mrs.

The Book Company refused to return the text-books and under a contract with the State Board of Education, the Alfred Williams Company reemded the order, The story of how the University Book Company, became the repository of the Alfred Williams Company makes inter esting reading and also shows the stupid ity of the legislators, who jumped at the conclusion; that simply because all books used in the schools of the State were or dered from the University Company the latter enjoyed a complete monopoly in supplying the demand for North Caro una text books. Two years ago the Superintendent Public Instruction and the State Board of Education decided upon a list of text books to be used in North Carolina.

Some of the books were published by one company, others by another. The books of probably ten publishing companies were included in the selected lists, among them the two school histories, published by the Alfred Williams Com pany. The plan did not work well, however, as the country store-keepers could not conveniently order bxks from so many different publishing houses. The result was that school children could not ob tain the books specified, and the text books used were various in character, many of them in use in the county public school dating back to collonial times Therefore the various firms which supplied the books were instructed by the board of education to select one of their 1 A 1 1 numoer to Keep a repository or an dooks used i the State. They selected the University Book Company, of New York, and all the school books were deposited with them.

Lists were printed with the address of the latter company, Nos. 43 and 47 East Tenth street, New York, on them and the dealer could thus purchase any or all books from one firm at a very uoerai discount, the rates being fixed by the state board. When the howl for county adoption of dooks was raised in the last Legislature, the members jumped at the conclusion that the University Company was a gi gantic trust, simply because all State books came from their address. No reasoning could force any other view into their heads. It is this fact, very probably, that won the fight for the county adoption of school books.

All the publishing companies signed a contract to furnish books at the rates and discounts to dealers fixed by the State Board of Education and to deposit stock with the University Book Company, So when Alfred Williams and Company ordered back tho books, the order was refused and a letter written showing that the return would be in violation of their contract. It will be yet a year before "county adoption" becomes a law, and the Uni versify Company is still selling books "at the same old stand." Death oi Airs. Rosenthal.
