Ti1% NOITI CAROLINA LEGISLATURE, ‘There 18 no reasonable doubt that the North Carolina legislature will be organized and managed by the republicans this winter, John C. Lowan Harris,” who is manager of liean party in the state, tele_vaphs here trom Raleigh that the legislature stands thus: Senate—-twenty-six democrats, twenty- one republicans and three independents. Iouse—nity-£ix democrats, fifty-nine repub- Jicans and” seven iudependents. On joint ballot itstands eighty-two republicans, - enty-eight republicans and ten independents. Mr. Hairis says that the independents in both houses were elected to vote against the democrats if not with the republicans, and that there is no likelihood that thedemoerats can eapture enough of them to eontrol the legisiature, He is positive that the clection Jaws will be changed to favor faiv elec tions, and therefore give republican major- itiex," It is thought here that the epend ent members of the lesislature may be giv somo of the most important offices in_conles- cing with the republicans for the orzanization of the legislature, but’ North Carolinians in both parties say that the present practises of the democeratic party and election laws in the state are quite as offensive to the independ- ents as stiaight republicans: also that they wereelecled with the distinetunderstanding that they would act with the republicans in affairs. The democrats, having a jority in the senate, may make trouble for the fusionists in ehanging the election laws, but the republicans declare it wiil be done, and that the state will give her electoral vote in 185 for the republica ndidate.

Loxpox. Nov. 12, 4 a. m.—New York 1ler- ald Cavle Special to the Bre.]—The many Welsh readers of the IHerald have already been told by it that the Nateorial Eisteddford of Wales for the year of the queen’s jubilee i8 to be held in London. The know also that no suech gathering ean lawfully take place unless it has been previously pro- claimed in Gorsead of Bards of 1sle of Britain convened in the place where the Eisteddford is to be held. This preliminary ceremony of proclamation was this after- noon performed in the gardens of the inner temple. There upon the green sward, & cire thirty yards in diameter was marked out by twelve unhewn stones, upon one of which the Arch Druid, David Griftith, a ven- erable Welshman eighty-six years of aze, nown among his compatriots hy his bardic name, “Awyafardd,” took his stand. A bard was also placed at each of the twelve stones to guard the sacred cirele, the others remaining withn the cirele to take part in the ceremony. Around the ring (00 visitors, principally Welshmen, resident in London, gathered to witness the proceedings, which were conducted in the widst of a steaay downpour of rain, At o'clock the Arch Druid entered the eirele, accompanied by the harpist, Jolin Roberts, ‘They were attended by twenty-three bards, four of whom bear the name of Daviess, four the name of W liams with several Joneses and Roberts. Ail these were distinguished by green or blue roscttes, ‘Ihe harpist wore what is supposed to be the Druidie costume, a flowing robe and acap. with green cloak, and a red girdle. ‘The Arch Druid ascended the Logan stone, hoiding out a sword upon which all the bards laid hands. He thrice demanded: “A, des heddweh?” (1s it peac to which the Welsh portion of the assembly replied, “Heddweh,” (It is peace.) The harpist was, physically speaking, the beau ideal of a bard, His elo- quent eyes of bluish grey were set off with a flowing gray beard. Then the rain camo down faster and he lost dignity in the eyes of the profane by having recourse to an umbrelia, while his antique form, harp, an instrument of quaint was muflled when not in use in an oi case. The Arch Druid presented a_ st and toucning picture as he stood, like Lear, but with all_his wits about hiw, bare lieaded to the pelting, pitiless storm. Some kind Druid, in respectful pity, held an umbrella over the brave old man, but he never noticed the courtesy or seemed aware of the shelter. It is true that his white locks were abundant, waving freely over the aged brow, and covering every part of the head thus covered. Next the Arch Drued decended from the stone and gave place to Rev. Rowland Williams, who offered the ancient Gorsedd prayer. The Garsedd was then declared open and the Arch Druid read, in Welsh, a_procla- mation beginning thus: “On the day ot the full moon, in the month of the falling leaves, in the winter solstice of 1589, be it known, that when the age of Christ is 1557, a Gorsedd and Eisteddfod will be held in the chief city of Lud for ail who seek priv- ilege and license in the arts, poesy and song shall have the right of accessz and o weapon shall be unsheathed against thewm.” After the proclamation of the i a number of bards mounted the stone in fon andrecited their political compo- itions, in eulogy of he history, lAnguags and literature of their native land.” Awmong them was the Rev. R. Parry, the second oldest Welsh bara, who has”attained the age of cighty-two. e reiterated a_poetie effusion. at the eloso of which the bards agaln gathered around the Arch Druid and vlaced thei hands upon the sword. ‘The question, “Is ittheirs ¥ having been ‘repeated thrice and thrice answered in the allurmative, the Gorsedd was declared to be at an end, et WESTI INDIAN A1D.

The West Point Murderers, West PoiNT, Neb., Nov. 1L—[Special to the Beg. |—Our city has been thrown intoa little excitoment by the arrest of Franz Krantz and wife for the murder of F. Schoger, committed at Aurora, I, in March last, Schoger the former husband of Mrs. Krantz. Your correspondent had an interview with City Marshal Walker, of Aurora, who arrived here last evenimg with requisition papers, and from him learned the following particulars: The man Krantz had been boarding with the Schoger family for a number of years, and was suspected of being unduly intimate with Schoger’s wife. Feb- ruary last Schoger took out a life insurance policy for $2,000, vayable to his children. ‘I'his his wife induced him to change in her favor, and on the evening of the day of the hange he was a corpse. Krantz was with him at the time of his death, Some suspi- cion was excited at Lis sudden death, but the body was interred without further iivestiga- tion. Krantz was ordered to seek another boarding place by the grown up children of Sehoger, two of whom are married. In July Mrs, Sehoger and Franz wera — mai- ried, and the neighbors charivaried them and among the party participating in those questionable honors” were the 1wo sons and a son-in-law of Mrs, Schoger. She had them arrested, and the bad feeling al- ready enzendered came to a white heat at those proceedings, Krantz and his wite packed their traps about the middle of August and eame here to West Point, In the meantime the insuray money had been paid to Mrs, Krantz, Krantz, who is a printer, invested a part of his ill-zoften gains in- the Volksblatt, a German newspaper here, and beeame one of the proprietor 'his was somewhere in September, Three weeks ago Mrs. Krantz went back to Aurora for the bal- ance of her Liousehold goods, and when ship- ping them to this point told the agent to answer all inquivies as to their destination that they were shipped to Cineinnati. —This nd other suspleious moves induced the. rela- tives to have the body exnumed, and the stomach was sent to Prof. Haines, of Chi- cago, for examination, 1is report, submit- ted dbout ten days ago, was to the effect that enough arsenic had been found to kill four men. Warrants were immediatelv made out for the arrest of Krantz and and wife, and s telegram sent to Sheriff Rupp at this place to arvest them, whiel he did last Friday, and they remained in jail hee ' until noon to-duy, when they were taken to Geneva by the marshal of Aurora, An effort was made to get them out on & writ of habeas corvus, pending the arrival of the Hiinois oficer, but County Judge Bryant quietly and forcibly sat down on the pro- ceadings, ‘Ihe Germans in Aurova are fear- fully excited, and the marshal says he will have to oxercise great care to ayoid a lynch- ing party.

The same oflicial said furthers ‘*‘That rumor doubtless arose from the fact that the directors in their recent annual inspection departed from their customary programine and went as far west as Omaha and passed over a portion of the Northwestern's lines, Tlus wasdone simply to get an _idea of the growth of the region traversed and without any purpose to extend ihe company’s po sion.

Bricks were flying in all directions, and in less than a minute afterwaras the whole re portion of the mill appeared to be in tlames, “The greatest excitement existed among the ands employed in - the building, especially the females. * Some of thew ran for the stair- way legding to the street, while others ran to the windows, and a fow started to elimb out, but were prevented from {uull-iuu to the ground by theit companions. during all this time the flames were spread- mg from one floor to another and erowds, attracted by the smoke and the screams of the women, blocked the streets, But the ex- citement among them was so great that they appearcd powerless for a titne to assist theni. Finally several men ran into the building and succeeded in getting them all out. The excitement among the people was increased when the girls and vouug women appeared in the street, some bleeding and others badly burned. The five burned stubbornly despite the efforts of the fire- men to check the flames, and in'a re markably short period, = owing to the inflammable characier of the contents, the two upper stories of the factory and tue shed- ding in the rear were ablaze, One girl, Carrie Bruner, aged eighteen, 1s missing. sheds THE INJURED.

About two hours after the tire had been extinguished the body of Carrie Bruner, aged thirty, an employe, Was found in the third story of the factory, btried under steam pipes and heavy timbers, Her body and clothing were but slightly burned, and her death was in all probabilify eaused by the heavy timber falling upon lier when the explosion oceurred, — Fifteen persons were more or less seriously injured, but it is thought that none of the injuries will prove fatal, with the possible exception of Annie Wolfuer, who received severe burns about, her face and body, and also sustained ies from a flying timber.

STRIKE NOT DECLARED OLF Reported Settlement of the Tronble ad Chicago Authoritatively Denied, SPECULATORS START THE STORY The Knights Confident of Snccess—y Committeeman Carleton on the Ground wderly Retuses To Talk Abe it the Strike, The Situation In Chicago. Cimcaco, Nov, 1L The situation at whe stock vards this morning shows an improves ment. ALl packers report their forees increns- ing, and among the anplicants for work to= day are many of the old men. Contrary to general expectation the army of workmen which was envaged by Fowler & Co. in New York last Monday arrived at the yards and reached their employers’ establishment withe out any wolestation, Reports to General Fitzstinmons at 8 o'clock from all parts of the yards report everything quiet. It is believed that the great strike at the stock yardsis atan end. It 18 reported on "Chiange that Powderly has ordered the men back to work. The same report is current at Armonr’s down town office, although they @ no ofticial confirmation of it. 8o many new men have come in during the past few daysthat the packers now say they need uo more. The reports teleg this evening that the phed from here carl strike was at an en was based upon direct mformation from the packers. At 10 p. . i formation s roceived from the same source that the report proves to ba without foundation. J. C. Hately, member of the executive committee of the Packers' as- eiation, says the statement that the striko {been 'declared off by the Knights was & mistake, tte does not undertake to explain how the mistake was made, and can only say that shortiy before 6 p. . the packers wera in receipt of information which, though nos ofticial,” was considerad by them reliable, Messrs! Barey and Carleton, meuwbers of the Knights of Labor general éxecutive commit- tee, denied to reporters shortly after 6 p. m. that there had been any “change whatever | the_ status of tho stike. A MOCUNK of strikers is in session to-night at the yards, Which 18 being attended by Messrs. Lary and Carleton. Before entering the hatl ats p. m., Barry and Carleton were seen and questioned cori- cerning the reported collapse of the strike, “They denied emphatically that there was any truth whatever in the statement. Carleton, who arrived this morming us a representative of Powderly to investigate the situation, said that so far from the strikers having surs rendered, they were full of enthusiasni and contident of ultimate victory, So Inr as he has beew able to ascertain to-day there was little or no probability of the sirike ending until the men had won thelr point,nauely, that the packers concede a technical recognition of the principle ot eight hours’ work for cight lours’ pay, or at least allow the matter to be arbitrated. “Ihe stntement that Pow- derly had ordered Carleton to order the strike off was a lie on its face. Carleton had_only arvived in Chicago this morning, and it was ansurd to supvose that ho would ' be perempe torily commanded to end the strike without being given any time to fultill the mission whieh brouzht him here. ‘The news concerns ing Powderly’s alleged tolegram had been re- cerved i Chicago over speculators’ private wires, and both Carleton and Barry declared without reserve the belief that the report say= ing the strike was off had been given out solely for stock-jobbing purposes, h Powderly Declines to Talk. PmirapereiiA, Nov. 1L.—Powderly this evening again deelined to be interviewed on the Chicazo beef and pork " strike, le cd that Messrs, Carleton and Barry had full charge of affalrs in Chicago on be- halt of the zeneral executive board and im view of their better knowledge of the situas tion he did not eare to discuss any branch of the subject with the meagre information he had at hand.
