Barnes Bros., "printers to the council of 'State," today occupied their new of fice here. They will print Senator But ter a paper and also the Press-Visitor. Guy Barnes, of the firm, when asked if he considered himself the public printer replied, "No. The council of state is the public printer. I have a contract from it." The fact Is, Barnes appears to have beaten Stewart Bros., X)l Winston, at the latter's own game. The governor appointed Jawyers to Tight the lease of the North Carolina railway to the Southern, yet when the new directors of the North Carolina railway met they voted these attor neys $3,000 for this. The fcrmer board had paid attorneys $1,000 to defend the. ' lease. There is now trouble about the gov ernor's stepping in and employing four lawyers to represent the state in the case of the Western Union Telegraph Company against the railway commis sion. The attorney general had asked for legal assistance, but had asked it of the railway commission and not of the governor. But the latter directly employs counsel and that without con sultation with the railway commission, which is itself a court and really a co ordinate branch of the government The governor thanks the Vance Guards, of Henderson, for their excel lent work in guard duty at the execu lion of George Brodie at Henderson More rain fell last night; very little here, but considerable near here.

EM) OF STRIKE III SIGHT THE PARTIES UBOUT TO AGREE ON A COMPROMISE PRICE The Operators Make Two Propositions' One Is to Pay blxty-Flve Gents Per Ton Till tKe End of tbe Year The Miners Offi cials Call a Convention to Consider the Matter, and Keccommend Its Acceptance by the miners Columbus, Ohio, September 3. The end of the great miners strike is in sirht. This afternoon the national ex ecutive board of the United Mine Work ers agreed to recommend to be miners a proposition from the Pittsburg oper ators for a straight price of 60 cents a ton to continue in force until the end of the year. A delegate convention of all miners who have suspended work has been called to meet in Columbus Sep tember Sth, at 10 o'clock a. m.r to act upon the recommendation. President Ratchford and the other members of the board say there is not the slightest doubt but that the miners will approve the recommendation. The proposition does not Involve arbitra tion and in effect provides for an im mediate settlement of the strike. Pres ident Ratchford said tonight that there were special reasons for the board rec ommending the proposition. In the first place, it concedes the miners a material advance. Had a 69 cent rate been secured he was confident it could not have been maintained for more than seventy days. As soon as the miners ratify the proposition work will be resumed in all the mines. In the sec ond place, the proposition provides for a revival of the joint conferences for the adjustment of prices. The opera tors are pledged to meet with the min ers prior to the termination of the agreement and determine the rate of mining for the next year. "Both the members of the miners ex ecutive board and the operators' com mittee are pleased over the outcome of the conference and feel that public sentiment will sustain their action. This morning the operators' committee renewed their first proposition for a 69 cent rate pending arbitration. This was again rejected by the miners' board. Then the operators' committee got together and submitted a new proposition for a straight price of 65 cents and after a long discussion it wras accepted by the miners, but subject to the approval of the miners at large. The following circular was issued to- ni glit by the national executive boardf "To the mine workers who have sus pended work in the different states: "You are hereby notified that a con vention will be held at Columbus, Ohio, at 10 o'clock on "Wednesday morn ing, September 8th, 1897. "At a conference held at Columbus, Ohio, on September 2nd and 3rd be tween the national executive board and district presidents of the United Mine Workers of America, and a represen tative eommittee of the Pittsburg dis trict operators, to which we consented only after it became apparent that a national conference of operators and miners could not be convened, the fol lowing propositions were submitted by the representatives of the Pittsburg operators to the executive board and district presidents, as the basis of a settlement to terminate the present strike: 1. "The resumption of work at a 64 cent rate of mining. The submitting of the question to a board of arbitra tion to determine what the price shall be, the maximum to be 69 cents and the minimum to be 60 cents a ton, the price to be effective from date of resuming work. 2. "A straight price of 65 cents a ton to continue in force until the end pf the year, with the additional mutual understanding that a joint meeting of operators and miners shall be held in December, 1897, for the purpose of de termining what the rate of mining shall be thereafter. "Tour executive board and district presidents, after much deliberation and a thorough consideration of the two propositions do recommend the latter, as in their judgment the best that can be secured, because of circum stances that are apparent to all who study the market conditions since the inauguration of the strike. You, how ever, are the court of final adjudication and must decide for yourselves what your actions shall be and when work shall be resumed. "Additional reasons will be given and a full report made of the general situ ation at the convention. We would further advise that delegates come untrammeled by resolutions and unin structed, other than to act in your best interest. "At this time it is deemed advisa ble, for the reason that provisions are made in the uniformity agreement now pending in the Pittsburg, and which it is expected will be operative in that district on and after January 1, 1898, to arbitrate the question of relative dif ferential between pick and machine mining, which will, we anticipate, dp much toward furnishing us with more reliable data of that question than we possess at present and to that extent will be beneficial to us in settling ques tions as between machine and pick mining." Walking for a Wife (St. Louis Post Dispatch.) F. Allen McQuary, formerly editor of a Neosho, Mo., paper, is expected to arrive in St. Louis today on a novel journey. After selling his paper at Xeosho, Mo., last spring he went to Arkansas, where he met the beautiful daughter pf a planter and fell in love with her. The father, desiring to prove the af fection and constancy of the lover, so the story runs, said he would consent to the marriage provided McQuary made a trip around the world, starting without a cent and taking with him two hounds. If he returned with both dogs he was to receive o,000; if with one dog, $4,000; if with neither dog, $3,000, and in any event he having circled the globe he should have the girl as his wife. .

GEORGIA STIXLi HEADS Her Crack 8hot at Sea Girt -Win Two Mote Victories The Wimbleton Trophy to be SKot for Today Sea Girt, N. J., September 3. Georgia continued her victories today in the shooting contests here and carried away two more Important prizes. To night the District of Corumbia men are making a fair showing against the men of Georgia, but the New Jersey teams, when pitted against the other state teams, have so far come in last. The Georgians will take back with them the Hilton trophy, and the same state will take the regimental team match trophy, both won toady. The shooting for the Hilton trophy of the Georgia team was exceptionally fine. Lieutenant F. G. Wilson making 101 ut of a possible 105. C. E. Austin made 97, Corrie, of the New York team, also made 97. The shooting of the New Yorkers In the Hilton trophy match was excellent and would have won but for the star performance of the Geor gia team. This morning General Spencer, in spector general of rifle practice of New Jersey, administered the oath of office to Captain George T. Cann, of Georgia, as inspector general of rifle practice of Georgia, with the rank of colonel. Gov ernor Atkinson had been following the scores made, and was so pleased with Captain Cann's work that he forwarded the appointment and commission to Sea Girt with a request that General Spencer swear in Colonel Cann. Colo nel Cann was a captain of the First battalion, Georgia infantry, and shot on the team of his organization and on his state team. The skirmish runs this morning also decided the Columbia trophy and the New Jersey national guard matches, and in both cases they wet t won by the Fourth regiment team. Both of these matches are open only to teams from each regiment of the New Jersey na tional guard. The last of the skirmish runs neces sary to decide the winners of the regi mental team match was also held to day. The firing at the 200 and 500 yard range in this match was completed onward in the afternoon, and after that time the cavalry regiment of Georgia was in the lead, having a score of 561 points, three ahead of its nearest com petitor, the first team ofthe first bat talion, Georgia infantry. The; close contest between these two teams lent additional interest to the skirmishing, and there was much glee among the infantrymen this morning when they learned their work in the skirmishes had given them the match with a score of 1,007 points. The Georgians won the Hilton trophy without much trouble. This handsome international prize was competed for at three distances, 200, 500 and 600 yards, seven shots at each distance. The trophy was presented by Hon. Henry Hilton, of New York, and is valued at $3,000. In addition to the trophy, each member of the wining team obtains a medal. It has been shot for annually since 1878. Georgia takes it for the first time. The winners scores were as follows: Cann 93, Pos tell 92, Miller 92, Battey 84, Richmond 87, W. E. Wilson 88, iiunter 84, Ken neman 87, Harrison 90, Austin 97, F. C. Wilson 101; total 1.068. Tomorrow the Wimbleton cup will be shot for and the windup of the individ ual matches will take place.

It was a bad day for the defendant in the Luetgert murder trial. The strongest evidence which has yet been given against him was brought out and some of it was damaging. The witness who gave the strongest evidence against the sausage maker was Mrs. Christina Feldt, a widow with whom the prosecution al leges Luetgert was infatuated, and to whom it is claimed he has written a number of letters since he has been confined in the jail. Mrs. Feldt said that on various oc casions Luetgert said to her that he did not care for his wife, and once said that he thought more of the do mestic in the house than of Mrs. Luet gert. He also said that he had many quarrels with his wife and when Mrs. Feldt asked him why he did not secure a divorce, he said that as soon his financial troubles were over, he "would settle with her." He repeated this sev eral times, and called his wife a "car cass" and other names. A niece of Mrs. Luetgert and two other women identified the rings taken from the vat as being the property of Mrs. Luetgert. The niece said she at one time had borrowed the rings and worn them. Cottlieba Schimpke, 14 years of age, testified that on the night of the dis appearance of Mrs. Luetgert, she saw at about 11 o'clock as she was return ing from a dance, the defendant and his wife enter the factory. This was at the time when the watchman was absent, Luetgert having sent him on an errand to the drug store. On cross ex amination the girl broke down badly. The state, it is said, will in, a short time produce as evidence the portion of a human skull, a number of teeth, ard a finger joint which were found in the factory, and will endeavor to show that they belonged to ih& missing woman. DAUAG11IG TESTIU01IY AGAINST THE DEFENDANT THE LiUETGERT MURDER TRIAL Three Women Postlvely Identify the Rings Found In the Tat as Belonging to the Murdered Woman An Employe of the Defendant Testifies That Caustle Potash Was Never Vsed In the Factory Tne Judge Visits the Factory Chicago. September 3 Three women grave dj-marincr evidence asraln; the de fendant in the Luetfrert trial -today. They positively identified the rlngrs found In the vat as beinfr the property of Hr. Luet gert. and said that they had wen them on her hands. The defense made a des perate attempt to break down the evi- dnce of the women, but they all stuck J to their stories and swore that the rings were thosp which the wife, of the sau sage maker had worn before he disap peared. The session of court was short In the af ternoon, a Judge Tuthill said that he de sired to make a personal visit to the fac tory and see for himself where the' mur der Is Mid to have been committed. He took with him one attorney from the side of the defense and one from thor en gaged in the prosecution. During their visit to the fart 00 no otner person was allowed around the premises. Carl Voelker. a chemist who had been at one time engaged with Luetgert in th manufacture of permanganate of potash, and was also a shipping clerk in the fac tory, testified during the afternoon ses sion that he was familiar with all of Luetgert's processes for the making of sausage and that he had never had any occasion to use caustic potash around the place. The defendant could not. he said, have secured it for the purpose of using it in the making of the sausage. During all of the time that Voelker was around th. factory, he said that the vats were never used. Voelker told the jury that on one occasion he saw Luetgert use violence to. ward his wife. She and another woman came into the office in the factory- one af ternoon and Luetgert appeared to be in a rage. The witness was not In the office, but he saw Luetgert push his wife and her companion out of the door of the office. Mrs. Luetgert and the lady hurried away much excited. He heard Mrs. Luetgert say: "He has a revolver and will kill us." The witness said he did not see the revol ver. The crush around the court room has increased to such proportions that it was found necessary' today to take active measures to keep the crowd away from the trial. The court room is on the third floor of the criminal court building and orders were given that none of (the pas senger elevators should stop save at the second and fourth floors. Officers were then stationed at the stairways and only those who had business in the court room were allowed to pass. Star Pointer Defeats Joe Patchen Hartford, Conn., September 3. To day's programme at Charter Oak park was too long to be finished before dark. Two heats were necessary to bring to an end the hard-fought 2:30 trot, seven heats, which were trotted Wednesday. Townlady won the first heat today in 2:14. Emily took the second in 2:13, and won first money. Townlady got second money, Nancy Time third and Tacomis fourth. The most stubbornly fought race of the day was the 2:14 pace. Ambulator was expected to win it, with Forrest Herr and Quick Turn second and third choice. Ambulator finished no heat bet ter than third, while Forrest Herr and Quick Turn were distanced in the sec ond heat by Quadriga, who surprised all the knowing ones by going the mile in 2:09. Favor then showed the way home in the three other heats in fast time and apparently with speed to spare. The Abbott won the 2:18 trot in straight heats. He seemed winded when he finished the second heat and many looked for Lucy Carr to take the third, but she was not equal to it. Star Pointer won from Joe Patchen with apparent ease. It had been agreed that each horse should alternate at the pole and the toss of a penny de cided which should start in that posi tion. Mr. Murphy, owner of Star Pointer won the toss. In the second heat when Patchen had the pole Point er had to travel a little faster to get to the wire first and that heat was done in 2:03. The crowd was dlsappoined In the race. In the three heats the two horses traveled the mile side by side. Pointer going about half a length ahead in the home stretch and keeping it to the wire. The race was without any other feature and there was a general belief that the horses were not driven as fast as they could go. There was disappointment at the slow time, and there were no cheers when it was an nounced. The day was fine and 10.000 persons were present. Marion Mills paced a mile without driver In 2:08. The Late Mr. R. J. Mcllhenny City Treasurer's Office. Wilmington, N. C, September 4. Editors Messenger: For the past two years I have seen the late Richard J. Mcllhenny almost daily. During that time I have care fully observed and studied the man. He was modest and retiring.- There was never one more considerate of the feelings of others. His speech showed that his thoughts were pure. By nature intense, he devoted all his energy and rare talent to his work. His great hope and aim was to make per fect and complete the fire alarm sys tem of the city, and he was, therefore, often compelled to be out at night and in the storm, dying but working. Of the small compensation paid him he never complained though it was plain to see he was hampered in his work by lack of means. His death deprives this city of an official whose place it will be exceedingly difficult to fill. The state loses a son endowed with talents such as would have benefitted man kind had she even encouraged him in his efforts. Such men are rare gifts to a people, returning tenfold all they ever receive. J. E. TAYLOR. Marvelous Results. From a letter written by J.
