Heinark About t^ueen. New Yoisk, July 8.—According to a Rome dispatch m tho World, the Duke of Aosta, oernsm of tho King of Italy and heir presumptive of the throue, fought a duel last week with a Russian Ufcnce, believed to bo Duke Eugene of Ucutchenburg, grandson of Czar Nicho- .las I. Tho Russian received a severe sword thrust through the stomach. Duke Eugene is known to bo suffering from peritonitis, ami from this it is concluded that he was the Duke of Aosta’s antagonist. The duel has excited wide interest, because of the rank of the principals, and there is much speculation as to its cause. It is reported that tho Russian nf- frouted tne King of Italy recently by making in his presence a slighting re mark about the queeu while on a visit to Naples. SHE IS SORRY FOR IT. Russia 'Tired of Her Retaliatory Tariff' Acts. New York, July 8.—It is annouuced iy a Washington dispatch to the Jour nal of Commerce that a decided dispo sition to counteract the acts of retalia tory duties imposed ou "ertaiu Ameri can products has recently been shown by the Russian government. It would seem, from ^10 earnestness of the rep resentations made to the department of State by tho Russian ambassador before his departure from Washington and by the charge d’affairs since then, although it is not openly acknowledged, that Minister De Witte regrets his action in retaliation duties, causing friction be tween the two governments. The Russian government seems to be seeking a reopening of the case in re gard to the countervailing duty on su gar. Ic is not the volume of Russiau Sugar imports into tho United States which determines the anxiety of the Russian govt-rument in the matter, but rather its general policy of avoiding friction where nothing is to be gained. The assurance of friendship given by Count Casini and the charge, M. De- Willant, made a favorable impression at the state department, but do uot prom ise any immediate result. The single result which may follow the ropresentatious of the Russiau am bassador is the removal of the reciproc ity negotiations which were abandoned last winter Hou. John A. Kasson, who dealt with most of tho reciprocity treaties, is now ou leave of absence. Defiuito arrange ments for a treaty with Russia will probably uot be made uutil his return. DEATH IN A LANDSLIDE. Kidnaping Assuming Alarming Pro portions In China. Seattle, Wash., July 8.—Canton ad vices by steamer give details of the loss of 300 lives by landslide and flood occurring at Lu Lon, China. Native accounts state that a great flood of water poured out of the moun tains, carrying everything before it. Two hundred houses were swept away and the fields swept bare of crops. Sev eral thousand landslides occurred, car rying a large portion of Lung Kong into the bay. Wbat appeared a tidal wave followed, making it impossible for a^y who were carried into the water to escape. Robbers in the Wang Tung provinces are kidnaping people to realize money. Dozens of women and children have been abducted, though the kidnapers are always killed when caLght. A Buddhist uun, convicted of Lmrhoriug kidnapers, is being publicly exhibited in a cage at Cantou. Six kiduaped wo men were fouud in a convent. Raleigh's Public Schools. Raleigh, July 8.—The aunual report by the superinteudect of Raleigh’s pub lic schools shows auenrollmeutof 3,091, of which 1,«11 are lu the white schools, with 1.067 average daily attendance; and 1,480 in the negro schools, with 872 average daily attendance. School was taught 88 weeks, two weeks longer than ever before. There has been great im provement in buildings and in school work. The report ou county schools shows uu enrollment of 4,914 whitesand 4,265 negroes, this excluding Raleigh. There is an increase in the white and a decrease of negro attendance. The per centage of white Illiterates is 6 2 8 and of negroes 7 2 0. Not Acquired Ily .Morgan. Tacoma, July 8.—George B. Dodwell of Loudon, head of the Dodwell line of steamers, and Fred,Dodwell, American manager, have returned from a trip down the sound. Manager Dodwell •aid there was absolutely no foundation for the stories sent out to the effect that the Morgan syndicate had purchased the Dodwell Oriental and Alaska lines «f steamers. , Alabama Troop* In Camp.

She had been as saulted and murdered and there was a bullet bole through her body. No olut M been fouud. OVER THE STATE, Newsy Items from Other Counties Grouped Together. The Anderson Intelligencer says that Judge Benet's famous charge to the jury in the Anderson slavery cases has demoralized the negro ten ants of farms, and white owners find it nearly impossible to hold the farm hands to their signed contracts. G. Frank Bamberg, of Bamberg, has a curiosity at his stable at that place. It is a mare colt whose mother is a mule. This is a freak of nature which is very rare. The mother of the colt was bought in the west by Mr. Bamberg last winter a year ago, and the following April she gave birth to the colb. An attempt to wreck tho south bound Seaboard Air Line train was made early Friday morning near Abbeville. The fishplates ou one of the rails were removed. The rail re mained in place till struck by the sleeper, which was derailed. No one was seriously injured. The authori- lives believe recently discharged em ployes from the Abbeville shops did the work. H. B. Mitchell, of Spartanburg, clera in the secretary of state’s otiice in Columbia, found a very handsome stone in the corridors of the state house Friday morning. It looks, to the unprofessional eye, as if it is a genuine diamond. It was probably lost, by some one visiting the state hiuse, from a ring or some other piece of jewelry. Mr. Mitchell holds it subject to return to the loser who proves tho property. Several days ago when Capt. J. W. Marshal, of Rock Hill, had a col ored man to go upon the top of one of the big iron tanks in which kero sene is shipped from that place, in order to take the temperature of the oil, the man while taking off the top lai(L tho instrument upon the tank and in a few minutes the mercury in the thermometer exploded. The tank was exposed to the sun and the oil within was so hot that the man could not bear bis hand in it. Magistrate Bates, of Jonesville, bad an unusual case before him last weea. It is reported that a few days ago Mr. Ed Rochester and Miss Mat- tie Minton ran sway and were mar ried by Mr. L. K. Littlejohn, a notary public. The father of the girl is very wroth and he indicted Mr. Rochester for enticing his 14 year old daughter away and marrying her. He has also indicted the notary public for performing the ceremony. Mr. Rochester is not yet 16 years of age. Col. W. A. Neal has succeeded in giving the !|!2,000 bond required of him by the court, pending the result of bis appeal to the state supreme court, and he has loft Columbia for his home in Anderson, considerably worn out with bis last week’s trying ordeal in the court room. The bondsmen were Messrs. F. H. Weston, Haltiwanger and J. M. Graham. Nothing can develop in this much talked of case until the arguments are made in December and ths court renders its decision. Two little sons of Mrs. P. F. Creighton were drowned near Mc Cormick, in Abbeville county, Thurs day. It was the sad ending of a Fourth of July picnic. The boys were aged respectively 9 and 11 years. They had gone in bathing some little distance down the river away from the crowd. They waded out over their depth and when Dr. Manly Brown, who was the first to discover them, came upon the scene they were just sinking the third time. Ho called for assistance and immediately sprang in. A large crowd quickly gathered and they soon succeeded in finding the young est one of the boys, but the body of the elder]wus not found until it was too late to save him. The secretary of State decided Thursday, under the terms’of the re cent act of the general assembly, that building and loan associations must pay their charter fees upon the basis of their ultimate and not their original or starting capital. If a building and loan association ex pects its stock at maturity to be worth iJiriOO.OOO then the charter fee must be based upon that amount and not upon a portion of It. If the as sociation started out with a smaller capital there would have to be con stant increase from month to month and this would occasion a great deal of trouble. A building and loop as sociation with an ultimate capital stock of $500,000 will have to pay a charter fee of $800 and one with a capital stock of $150,000 will btve to pay a fee of $125 before beginning work. Ned Smalls, a negro residing on St. Helena Island In Beaufort connty, was lodged in the county jail at Beaufort Saturday on a charge of wilful murder committed on the Fourth of July at Frogmore, P. O. In an Interview with Smalls in his cell at the jail Saturday morning be stated that be had an altercation with bit victim early on the morning of the fourth and met him on the public road In the course of the fore noon on which occasion John Mitch ell, the murdered man, accosted him, remarking that he wished to spesk with him, Smalls stated that he re plied, “See rue some other time.” The two met again In the afternoon and, according to Hmalla story, Mitchell drew a knife and pistol upon him. He, (Smalls,) stabbed the former In the neok once, Inflict- log a frightful wound Jioa which ths victim died liter ip the day. ;C., TUESDAY, JULY 9, 1901.

The lire occurred at 190 aud 192 Washington street, occupied by Merle & Heaney, dealers iu saloon aud store fixtures. While handling a heavy load of hose on the first floor the support gave way and the men were precipitated into the base ment. They were quickly rescued by their comrades, and it was found their injuries wero uot serious. The total loss is approximately $60,* 000, much damage being doue by water. Eighteen Uiilldlng Uurued.

Happenings and the Duli>g» of Onr Nelgh- Ixirs Across the L.lne. A Miss Fisher was killed last Sun day by a bolt of lightning, which entered her home near Bull Creek, Madison county. During the cyclone Tuesday an umbrella flew into Brevard on the wings of the wind, and alighted in front of the Brevard News office on Main street. Where it came from no one knew. Jas. E. Cooper was killed Monday at Asheville by the evening train from Bryson City, while trying to board it at a street crossing. He worked for a transfer company and usually caught the train at Murphy Junction, but on this occasion he was too late. He was the son of Mr. Hannah Cooper. D. M. Williamson, a prosperous farmer living about twelve miles from Asheville, disappeared in that city last Tuesday morning and nothing has been heard from him since. His brother, J. F. Williamson, is here in Asheville to investigate the matter, and the police and sheriff’s officers have been searching for him, but be has vanished completely. While trying to escape Saturday morning Frank Moffitt, a negro from Orange county, who was serving a four years sentence on the public roads of Guilford county, was shot and killed by Guard John Harrill at the camp a few miles from town. Moffitt was a thick heavy set black negro about forty-five years old and was known as a despe.ate character. James Atwood, an employe of the Daniel Manufacturing Company of Lincolnton, who lives in town, at tempted suicide Saturday evening by swallowing four grains of morphine. The doctors pumped him out and kept him awake, thus saving bis life. He was despondent and remarked to his wife as he took the poison that he “bad no friends and was in the way.” Thursday night the store of Aber- nethy & Howard cf Alexis, in Gas ton county, was broken into by forcing the front door. A supply of clothing, suspenders, shoes etc. was taken. The value can’t easily be estimated. When one of the pro prietors came the next morning to open up he found that the store had been entered, the door had been pulled shut. Since the announcement was made that there is to be an automobile line run from Greensboro to Winston, some of enterprising citizens of Greensboro have been working ou a scheme that would eclipse anything yet suggested. They propose to erect large Ferris wheel fans on every corner in the city and furnish wind on hot days during the summer months to those who are willing to pay for same. An anemometer is to be placed on each fan to measure the velocity of the breezes. There is an old darkey near Alexis, in Gaston county, by the name of James Johnson. He is about forty years old and has crazy spells. Wed nesday night while in one of his lunatic spells he grabbed a razor and ran from his house declaring that be was going to kill himself. He fell in a gully while on his run and consider ably crippled himself. He lost his razor and didn’t cut himself. He was found later lying down in a neighboring field and carried home. He created considerable excitement. John McDougald, charged with selling whiskey near Fayetteville, was tried before U. 8. Commissioner Morrisey Saturday morning and bound over to the Federal court. A $800 bond was required, which he failed to give and was placed in jail. Grey Toole, a prominent negro who keeps a store in Redbone, was ar rested Saturday -morning by Deputy United States Marshal H. B. Averitt on a charge of retailing whisky. He was required to give a $200 bond for his appearance at trial on the I9tb instant. F. P. Williston went his bond. Toole was • lieutenant in the Charlotte company of the Third Regi ment (colored) during the Spanish- American war. The Fayetteville and Wilmington Steamboat Comany has a large force of men at work on the Council Hall Cape Fear river front, short distance below the old boat landings, excava ting, levelling the earth, etc., In the construction of a dock and wharves for the steamers of the line. From that wharf will be run the electric trolley line through the business portion of the city, and freight and passengers will be landed at the boats or in the centre of the city. Long years ago a wooden street railway, with mules as motive powe", trans ported goods to and from the Cam- belltou wharfs. Id the laying of some sewer pipes, the old wooden track was found uodsr tbs surface of Hay street. Tbs burglars struck Bessmsr Tues day olgbt.

WHAT THE LEADER SAYS A Short Crop of Wheat anti Damp When ThreMheti Out—Hoy Itantes a Kucuh by Going to Sleep In a Hath Tub—A Mem phis Trophy. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Etta Jane, July 5.—When a min ister loses his sermon and wants time to get up another he can do as one we heard of once who, on a simi lar occasion, asked his congregation to sing the 119th psalm throughout. The Fourth of July is about like other days among farming people who are in the grass and generally behind with their crops in other re spects. We regret to learn that Mrs. Julia Roberts, of Hickory Grove, died at Kings Mountain last Monday night. For a long time she had been in bud health and went to the home of her daughter thinking a change might be beneficial. But too late. The fatal disease, or rather complication of diseases, had done their work and she kept sinking lower and lower in health till death came to her relief. She leaves a husband and five chil dren to mourn her loss. The county chain gang is working the roads in this section. They are not worked, either, oefore they need it. From what we learn it will not be likely khat tbe Thompson mill will start to grinding soon. The last freshet broke tbe dam to such an ex tent that it will take considerable work to repair it. J. H. McKissick, Esq , ex-clerk of the court of Union county, spent a few days in this section this week. Among the trophies we brought home from the Memphis reunion is a fragment of a bomb shell picked up on the Cbickamauga battlefield not far from where the South Carolina monument stands. We would be glad to know about our Cowpens park, how it is getting on and whether or not the deed to the land has been made. We have missed some good opportunities to make something out of it. Mr. W. T. Horton, president of the association, bas done all that be bad tbe power or that it was his duty to do to complete it. The public, it seems, are beginning to think that tho whole matter is a failure and they see no chance to have it move onward. We claim now, as we did at tbe beginning, that it should be a national affair and that the federal government alone ought to mark the grounds with suitable tablets. It bas done so at Cbickamauga and at Shiloh and many other places and why not give the same recognition to revolutionary battlefields, especially such an important a one us Cowpens? Owing to the Fourth of July beiug a holiday we had no mail from Gaff ney yesterday. Mrs. John Foster, we are glad to say, still continues to improve in health. She has been very low aud is not out of danger yot, we fear. Most of tbe farmers failed to make as much wheat as they expected six weeks or two months ago. Most of it was damp wheu threshed out and it will take labor to dry and take care of it. We have received, from Hon. I). E. Finley a list of tbe war tax changes which he has prepared and had printed for the benefit of his constit uents who desire them. The list is an invaluable aid to all business, and especially commercial men. We learn that our neighbors on the York side of Broad river have had a faith cure doctor working in their community. He is a colored man and it is said he can remove rheu matic pains, headache or any similar ailment by simply holding bis hands near the affected parts and then giv ing them a sling as if to shake the disease off. The patient will then tell him that it is either gone entirely or removed to some other part of the body. He then makes another and perhaps a third application until the pain Is entirely removed. W’e are told be removed tbe rheumatic pains from one of Mr. John P. Williams’ children—a boy of perhaps eight or ten years of age. We are told by a respectable white man that he saw him cure the head ache on a man at Hickory Grove by a simple motion of the hands about his bead, without touching him. Such treatment, more than anything else, convinces us of tbe imaginary Ills with which so many persons suf fer. i The children are making prepara tions for children’s dsy at Messopo- tamia church on tbe fourth ttabbath of this month, and on Thursday fol lowing, Aagust 1st, It will be ob served at Salem.

They could not find him for a long time and raised an alarm. The little fel low was sound asleep in the broiling hot sun with his hat over his face when they found him and it was some time before he could be restored to consciousness.

ET IN SETTLING STRIKE Cause of Grievance of Amal gamated Hen. THE MONAZITE INDUSTRY. In Attracting Increanod Attention in Cherokee Connty. In regard to the mouazite industry in this section of the country the following is from a Spartanburg cor respondent of the News and Courier: “The monazite industry is attract ing increased attention over in Chero kee county. Heretofore the sand was mixed with iron, garnet and other impurities, which rendered it unsalable. They have a machine now for clearing the crude product so as to get tbe clean sand. One of these machines will soon be estab lished in Gaffney. When the con tractors take leases on monazite ter ritory they pay a royalty of $20 a ton on the clean product. A few years ago there was a small lot of land a few miles from Gaffney, which paid the owner several times over and his land still remained. Occassionally a little gold is found with the monazite deposits, but never enough to be considered. It is expected that the state geologist will make some dis coveries in tbe Piedmont which will open up new industries. This mona zite sand lays in the gravel strata of our branches and creeks, and by ditchers and gold hunters, it was always considered worthless stuff. There may be other valuable products beneath tbe surface of this Piedmont country.” Cherokee’s soil id rich in minerals and valuable ores and who knows but that at some day in the .'ear future this section may be one of the greatest mining centers in tbe South? Stranger things have hap pened. ThouMiitla Sent Into Kxlle. Every year a large number of poor sufferers whose lungs are sore and racked with coughs are urged to go to another climate.

Men Who Were Peremptorily Dismiss ed on Saturday Must Ue Put Back to Work Before Negotiations For Settlement Will Be Considered. Pittsburg, July 8.—The peremptory dismissal ou Saturday of 12 members of tbe Amalgamated associatiou at the Wellsville plaut of the American Steel Sheet compauy may seriously affeot the expected settlement this week of the irou and steelworkers. ' Wheu seen this moruinp, President Sbufft. of the Amalgamated association was very much exercised over the turn affairs had*tukeu. “I cauuot say wheu or where the con ference will take place,” said he, “but one thing is certain: there will be no conference uutil the discharged men at Wellsville are reinstated. These men came to us. They violated no law of the laud, and we shall protect them. If they are not reinstated aud the con ference is postponed, the general strike will come. This is a repetition of what the sheet manufacturers did last year. They signed the scale for Saltsburg and old Meadows and then stole these mills from us. The men at Wellsville have been organized for months. I seut word for them not to come out, as I wanted a peaceable set tlement. I do uot blame tho chief offi cials. As usual, the trouble comes from some middleman, who cauuot realize that he may be undoing tho- couserva- tivo work of thoughtful men of both sides or that his action may involve the commercial world.” Awaiting the Word. Although as yet no word has been re ceived officially by the officers of the Amalgamated association from the American Steel Sheet compauy and the American Steel Hoop compauy, request ing that the wage conference be reopen ed, it is expected that saoh a note would be received during the day. If the Wells ville matter can be settled, the confer- cuce will theu, it is believed, be quick ly arranged, an agreement reached aud the strike declared off before the end of the week. There was a resumption of work in many iron and steel mills today. The mills have been idle for two weeks for repairs. It is supposed that fully 12,- 000 men returned to work today. Scale 1* Mgued. The concerns which signed the Amal gamated scale today were the Standard Chain company, Columbus, O.; Niles Iron aud Sheet company, Niles, O.; Lake Erie Irou company, Cleveland; Empire Rolling Mill company, Empire, O., and the Pittsburg Forge andiron compauy of this city. All the independent companies : Pittsburg district have now signec scale but A. M. Byers & Co., and their signature is expected as soon as tbe repairs to the plant are completed. WORK FOR THe'rOPE.
