WAS MOST IMPOSING CEREMONY A Fatal Accident. The worst accident that has oc cur’ed in the Goldsboro section in many years happened Friday on one of the trains carrying a portion of the soldiers from Camp Lee. When within two miles of Goldsboro, at a covered bridge on the Atlantic & North Carolina Railroad over Stoney creek, two of the soldiers of Com pany A, Third Regiment, of Durham, were killed, one probably fatally in jured and another hurt, though not so seriously. From information given out these four men. Bunn Warren, Andrew Johnson, Fletch Cates and Will McDade, had taken advantage of the stop at La Grange to get whiskey, and, contrary to orders, climbed on top of the car to drink it. They did not notice the train’s approach to the bridge, as they w'ere sitting with their backs to the bridge, and consequently met the top of the bridge with the full force of the train’s speed, the bridge cover strik ing three on the back of the head, killing Warren and Johnson instantly, as above stated. Cates, who was seriously injured, will probably die. A HOME REMEDY. Even Eczema Readily Yields to Han cock’s Liquid Sulphur.

It Is Intro duced by the following message to the people: “By the will of God, we, the czar and autocrat of all the Russlas, czar of Poland, Grand Duke of Finland, etc., announce to our faithful subjects that on this, the day of the christening of our son and heir, the Grand Duke Alexis Nlcholasevltch, following tho promptings of our heart, we turn to our great family of the empire and with the deepest and most heartfelt pleasure, even amidst these times of national struggle and difficulties, be stow upon them some gifts of our roy al favor for their greater enjoyment in their daily lives.” The various benefits bestowed on many classes are then enumerated at length. One of the most Important provisions relates to the entire alK>- lition of corporal punishment among the rural classes and its curtailment in the army and the navy. The manifesto remits land purchase areas, which affects one of the largest classes of tho population throughout tho empire, and Its benefits are also extended to estates in Poland. The general provisions of the mani festo include an allround reduction In sentences for common-law offenses, a general amnesty for political offenses, except in cases of murder, and tho education of the children of officers and soldiers who have been victims of the war. as well as assistance for such families as need it whose bread winners have fallen in the service of their country. The sum of $1,500,000 Is set apart from the state fund for the benefit of landless people of Finland. The fines Imposed on villages, towns or villas of Finland for failure to elect represen tatives or serve on the military re cruiting hoards during the years 190'.’ and 1909 are remitted. Permission is granted to Finns who have lyft their country without the sanction of thf’ authorities to return within a year. Those returning who are liable to mil itary service must immediately pre sent themselves for service, but Finns who have evaded military service will not he punished, provided they pre- sent themselves within three months of the birth of the heir to the throne. "Certain classes of f offenses, ex cluding theft, violent robbery and em bezzlement, are pardoned and the gov- I ernor general of Finland Is directed to consider what steps can Ik* taken to alleviate the lot of those forbidden to reside in Finland. "Fines imposed on the Jewish com munes in the cases of Jews avoiding military service, are remitted. “Persons arrested for offenses pun ishable by fines, imprisonment or con finement in a fortress without loss of civil rights and who were still await ing sentence at tho time of the birth of the heir to the' throne are par doned. "Political prisoners who have dis tinguished themselves by good conduct may, on the interposition of the min ister of justice, obtain the restitution of their civil rights at tho expiration of their sentences. “Persons guilty of political offenses I committed within the last 15 years who have remained unidentified will no longer he subject to prosecution, while political offenders who are now fugitives abroad may apply to the min ister of the interior for permission to return to Russia. Tho maaiifeeto concludes: “Given at Peterhoff on this, the 11th day of August, 1904. Nicholas.” Voluntary Disarmament Paris, August 24.—There Is reason to believe that a decision Is about to be taken providing for tho volun- tary disarmament of the Russian cruiser Askold and tho torpedo boat destroyer Grozovoi, now at Shanghai, and the Russian cruiser Diana, at Sai gon. This will be done primarily to avoid International complications, and will have the effect of reducing the Russian strength by three strong units but the Russian authorities consider that this will ho offset by the avoid ance of the iiJ&sible capture of the ves. *tl_ named by the Japanese. Advices received here from Saigon •how, contrary to previous announce ments, that the Diana is in a very bad condition. She has one large hole in her hull below the water line. Her Injuries will take weeks to repair. This would have permitted an extension of her sojourn in a’ neutral port beyond the 24 hours which expired yesterday, but it is foreseen that the repairs would entail such a long stay that it possible that the questions affecting the neutrality of the port would be likely to arise and therefore Russia is disposed to disarm the Diana and thereafter will remain at Saigon dur ing the war. The final determination In the mat ter has not yet been taken, but the tendencies are strongly as indicated. It is expected that the action to be taken at Shanghai and Saigon will re lieve the cases of international signifi cance and practically close them. BIG NEW ORLEANS COTTON FIRM FAILS H. F. Page & Co.

Large Firm In the Crescent City Has Announced Its Inability to Meet Cer- tain Demands—Ring Thrown Into Wildest Confusion. New Orleans, August 24.—The cot ton market received one of the great est surprises in its history this morn ing when three quarters of an hour after the opening, the well known firm of H. F. Page & Co., posted a notice to the effect that It was unable to meet further calls for margins. Up to that time the market promised to be quiet almost as quiet as yesteTilay’s mark et was active, but on the reading of this notice the ring was thrown into the widest confusion and in an instanf prices soared as traders endeavored to buy cotton to protect themselves. October and December within a min ute’s time went up 31 to 32 points; the confusion about the ring was all the greater because the Interests tha Page people had in the market waa unknown. They have been one of tha heaviest operators on the short sida of the market for some time, but it has been generally supposed that their transactions were profitable and not the slightest hint or suspicion has ever been given out or felt that they were embarrassed or liable to be. The advances of the last day or two, however, had been wild and wide and It Is generally supposed, exhausted tha resources of the firm. The general estimates of the interest of the firm in the market rauge all the way from 50,000 to 100,000 bales. The firm Is composed of H. Froll- sen Page William A. Breis and Alfred F. Page. Just before noon Mr. Pago made a statement. He said: “It is merely a case of temporary suspension of business and I am glad to say that the obligations of the firm will be met dollar for dollar. Wd have only a slight interest in the New Orleans market, our heaviest interests being in the New York and Liverpool markets. The trouble was caused by our inability to meet margin calls from Liverpool, the advances in that market having been groat during the last few days. I can confidently say that It will not he long before we will ha actively engaged In business again.” A peculiar feature of the suspension is that the offices occupied by H. F. Page & Co., are directly under the offices occupied by Daniel J. Sully & Co., the firm that made such a spec tacular failure last spring. LABOR LEADER INDICTED.
