Mr. Frank Collier, in Cumberland,
N. C.
Rev. M. D. Hix, pastor of St.
John's M. E. Church, we are sorry
to note, is very ill f.t the parsonage
on Boundary street.
Mr. A. P. Holland, whose il! ess
was mentioned in these columns a
few days ago, his many friends will
be pleased to learn, is improving.
Mb. and Mrs. E. B. Borden went
up to Winston yesterday afternoon
to spend some days with their
daughter Mrs. Col. A. C. Davis.
Don't fail to attend the meeting
of the Cleveland and Carr Campaign
Club at the court house to-night. It
will be an important meeting and
should be numerous.
Mr. Geo. D. Bennett, who has
been absent from the city for several
weeks in New York, with fine horses
from his extensive stabies and farm
here, has returned.
A series of open air concerts by
the Cornet Band are being discussed
by the members of that organiza
tion. This will be a treat for the
whole community, and we hope the
Band will meet with such an ova
tion as to warrant them in prolong
ing the series.

C.oldsboro at 8.45 on the morning of

City at 4 p. m. on 27th. Fare for

dollar.
The Argus, as well as everyone
else in town,would like to see a letter
box placed at the union depot for
the ponvenience of those who might
fail to get their letters a the post
office before the mails were made up.
Here is a chance, Mr. Postmaster,
for yon to improve your service. We
need the letter box you can give it
q us will you do it?
Master Dock, the little ten?year?
old son of Mr. T. M. Head, of oar
city police force, had the misfortune,
while playing on a hand car on the
A. & N. C. road, near this city
Saturday afternoon, to fall off and
in tome way run the car over him
self, pausing aomp very geiiops, if
nqt fatal injuries. At last accounts
he was getting along as well as could
be expected.
Dr. J. S. Bizzcll, of the firm of
Bizzell Bros. & Co., has just return
ed from an extended Western and
Northern trip. He took in the
Chicago National Democratic Con
vention as an "original Cleveland
man," and, of course, it is needless
to say that he is rejoiced that Grover
"got there." Dr. Bizzell says that'
he observed closely the signs of the
times on his travels, and he is assur
ed that Cleveland is our next Presi
dent. Mr. Walter L. Steele, of Bopking
ham. paid our city a brief visit in
search of iuf jr mat ion as to the best
method of making brick. Mr. Steele
is a brick manufacturer, and is now
visiting the various brick yards of
the State and will adopt any plait
that he recognizes as being superior
to the one he is now using. He says
lie t'wonld rather make the best
I rick in the State ta be Presi
dent". We have no doubt but what
he will do it.
It is with exceeding regret that
we chronicle the accidental drown
in? of Matt Ransom, the 9-year old
son of Mr. Ransom Garris, in Isler's
mill pond, New Hope township, one
day last week, whie several boys of
equal age were nsning. They bad
gotten into a boat and paddled out
into the pond, when by some inad
vertency the boat was capsized, re
sulting in the drowning of Ransom,
who was a bright and promising
boy. The afflicted parents have the
sincere sympathy of the entire com
rnnnity in the great sorrow that has
so suddenly befallen them.
It is with exceeding regret that
wp chronicle this morning the death
of young WaverW, sqri of Mr, and
Mrs. B. J. Langston, which occurred
at their home on John street yester
day morning, after several months of
illness growing out of an aggravated
case of the measles last Winter. The
sorrowing parents have the sincere
sympathy of their many friends in
their sad bereavement. The funeral
will be held from the home this
morning at 10 o'clock.
Say, whether you ke a Democrat,
a Republican, or a thoughtless Third
Party man, to which last named you
have not yet had the opportunity of
committing yourself by ballot and
can therefore lepent ere it be too
late whatever you be, if you be of

The condition of Mr. Fab. Sasser
was reported to be much improved
yesterday, and it is be hoped that
the affray between him and Mr. Wil
lis Brogden, which was reported in
yesterday's Auaus, will be permitted
to take the course of the law with
out the neighborhood taking sides
and promulgating hard feeling.
Both men have proved excellent citi
zens heretofore, and both are acting
Justices of the Peace of the county
Mr. Brogden has been required to
give a bond, pending the recovery of
Sir. Sasser, and as soon as the latter
is convalescent the tiial will come off
according to due proc ss of law.
The affair is greatly to be regretted.
It grew out of Mr. Brogden's cow
damaging Mr. Sasser's corn.
In the death of their infant
daughter Katie,ll months old.which
occurred at the home of her paternal
grandmother on East Centre street
Sunday eyening, Mr. and Mrs. W.

oi their many friends in this qity,
where they had. orougnt tneir cnnu
from their home in n,iarles

the hope that the change would
prove beneficial. The funeral was
held yesterday afternoon at 5 o clock
from TAhe home of Mr. Royall's
mother and the interment was made
in Willow Dale Cemetery, Rev. C.
L. Hoffmann, rect r of St. Stephen's
Episcopal Church officiating. Snffer

We believe it is safe to say that
there is not another city of the size
of Gojdsboro in the United States
but what has some system of naming
streets arid numbering the house?,
The lack of such a system does not
cause winch inconvenience to those
to the manner born ", but is a
prolific source of trouble with those
who have lived here only a few
years, vye wonia suggest tna.t tne
Board of Aldermen give this subject
their attention, and see if they can
not devise some plan by which this
suggestion can be carried out. Unless
we wish to have our beautiful city
regarded as a non-progressive coun
try village, we must do away with
these relics of barbarism and a lopt
methods that are more suitable to
the twentieth century.
At his home in this county, near
the Lenoir line, Tuesday morning,
Col. Jho. W. Isler, one of our most
esteemed and influential citizens,
and chairman of the Board of County
Justices, died of heart disease. He
wag a high-toned Chnstiau gentler
man, possessing the absolute confi
dence of all who knew hm. He
represented the Democratic constitu
ency in the Legislature several years
ago and his fellow citizens were al
ways proud to do lm honor, ile
was a consistent member of the Bap
tist Church, and leaves a wife and
family and a wide circle of relatives
and friends to mourn his lose. He
was some 60 years of age. The
funeral . took place yesterday after
noon from his late home, Rev. J. H,
Ed ward b, of this city, officiating.
A party of twelve young men,
under the captaincy of J. A. West
brook, left Mount Olive Tuesday
morning for Lake Waccamaw, upon
whose beautiful shores they will en?
camp for a week. The party is well
equipped with all necessary tents,
cooking utensils, provisions, etc, and
their supplies, augmented by the
figh: they 'expect to cach" assr-es
tin that the board will groan under
its load of luxuries. Ibis manner
of spending a vacation is one that is
worthy of consideration by all young
men who are undecided as to where
or how they shall spend the Summer
holiday. It combines health, pleas
ure, noyelty and cheapness four
points of excellence to be carefully
considered in the selection of a place
in which to secure their well-earned
rest.
PINK TROTTING BREED STOCK
A Notable Purchase of Stoott by
Ool. Julian S. Oair from Mr. Geo.
D. Bennett, of this Olty.
Our townsnu.n Mr. Geo. D. Ben
nett has quite a national reputation
as a breeder and hr idler of the finest
blooded horses in the world, and of
late he has enlarged his capacities
and is receiving yisits and bids and
orders from some of the most noted
fine stock fanciers in the country.
A fow days ago Col. Julian S.
Carr, of Durham, who is reputed to
have the model stock farm of the
fionih, 4tnd ho is stocking it with
the very best bred horses in the
country, paid a yisit to Mr. Bennett's
brood farm and stables, near this
city, where he became so attracted
by the fine stock he found there that
he was at once desirous of securing
some of them foi his farm. Negotia
tions were opened between him and
Mr. Bennett, who was then in
New York, and last week a
trade was closed between them
whereby Col. Carr becomes the
owner of three of Mr. Bennett's trot
ting breds at a cash purchase price
of $2,750.
This sounds like "big money" to
pay for three horsee; bit) tithes, they
are "horses what are horses and
there are one finer in the land
unless they are to be found right
here on Mr. Bennett's farm, where
he haj just turned down an offer of
$3,000 for a half-interest in one of
his noted animals, that is a perfect
picture of beauty and a poem of
graceful motion. And he has others
just as fine in his stables.
Mr. Bennett is probably the pio
neer of fine stock fancying in North
Carolina, and it irpeaks well for the
future of our State in this partic
ular when s;ch progressive citizens
and men of Irge means as Col. Carr
take hold of xh enterprise and give
liberally of their time and their
money towards furthering its inter
ests. - - -
It is needless to add that it is a
great pleasure to The Argus to note
the attention and the manner of
customer Mr. Bennetts fine stock
farm is attracting. It is a credit to
Goldsboro and we wish it unlimited
prosperity,

Dear Argus: Wilson District
Conference of the M. E. Church,
South, convened in this place on last
Wednesday, June 39, with Rev. Mr,
Oglesby, P. E., in the chair andJRey.
M. Simmons acting secretary.
A roll of ministers and delegates
was called and found a goodly num
ber present.
A short prayer service was then
held and many a fervent supplica
tion was uttered by consecrated lips.
The hours fixed for the meeting of
the Conference were 9 a. m., and 3
p. m., preaching at 11 a. m., and 8:30
p. m.
On Thursday were beard the re
ports of pastors in regard to the
condition of their respective charges.
This business continued each day
till all were heard from,
There were present during the
week Rev, Dr. Reid, of the Raleigh
Christian Advocate, representing his
paper and Trinity College, in the
absence of Dr. Crowell, who was
kept away on account of sickness;
Rev. Dr. Dixon and Prof. Peacock,
of GreenBboro Female College; Rev.
Mr. Jthodes, of Littleton Female
College, and other prominent min
isters and educators who preached
excellent sermons and lectured upon
questions of momentous importance.
Among other matters of vital local
interest to us, was the adoption by
the Conference of the Fremont
High School for girls, thus bringing
prominently before the people of
Eastern Carolina this deservedly
popular institution, that offers so
many excellent adyantages and in
ducements to parents and guardians
having children to educate.
After ff lr days of pleasant labor,
worship and joyous communion, the
Conference adjourned at 12 o'clock
on last baturday, and a large ma
jority of the ministers and delegates
went to their homes. The people ox
Fremont will long cherish the mem
ory of their hallowed presence and
bless the occasion that brought them
among us.
But alas for earthly joys! While
in the very midst of this social and
religious feast the angel of death
came down and took fiom among us
one of our verj best young men
Calvin G. Perkins, a devoted mem
ber of the Methodist Church and an
earnest, zealous Christian. The
funeral services were conducted by
his beloved pastor, Rev. W. W. Rose,
on last Friday and the remains were
accompanied to the grave by a large
number of ministers and delegates,
visitors and friends. The afflicted
family has the unfeigned sympathy
of all who knew him, for Calyin Was
a good boy. F,

AFFAIRS AT HOMESTEAD
All the Military Force of the State
Called Out.
Homesead, Pa., July 11. It has
been given out unofficially that at
the meeting of the Advisory Com
mittee, called after midnight, it
was decided to offer no resistance
to the militia ocupancy of the town
or the Carnegie property.
"All is quiet at Homestead,' is
the watchword which has a literal
significance and is without irony in
its application in this little burg
to-day. For the first time since
the -begiuning of this labor rebel
lion the indications of reviving re
spect for the law of the State of
Pennsylvania and the rights of in
dividuals is once more observed.
The salutary effect of Governor
Patterson's action in calling out
the troops is already remarked in
a radical change that the past six
hours have wrought, and personal
freedom this morning is practi
call unrestrained. It is true that
now and then some over-officious
individual assumes to himself the
right to investigate and catechize
persons as they etep from the train
but such instances are rare,and the
profound respect that would have
been accorded yesterday to such
person is signally wanting to-day.
Pittsburg, P., July 11. There
are signs of activity in and around
the armories of the National Guard
this morning. The men began
mustering early in the morning and
making preparations for a journey,
but it will be late this evening or
early tomorrow morning before
all arrangements can be completed,
and the troops assembled at Brin I
ton.
The action of the Governor in
ordering out the militia has
brought the strikers in Homestead
up with a round turn, and made
them realize fully that the arrival
ot troops meant a loss to them of
the control they have exercised
over the town, and a committee
from the Amalgamated Association
was appointed to go to Pittsburg
at once and entreat Mr. Frick to
consent to some method of adjust
ment of the differences. The com
mittee called at Carnegie's office in
the Chronicle telegraph building
during the forenoon. lown town
the militia were gathering at the
several headquarters. Crowds
gathered around the armories of
the 18th and 14th regiments, and
of battery B, to watch the soldiers
as they come in to await marching
orders. It is not expected that the
troops will move before 2 o'clock
this afternoon.
Habbisburg, July 11. The 9th,
12th and 13 tb regiments are on
the road, and will reach Lewiston
about noon, the 8th and 4th regi
ments of the same brigade were
earlv under arms, and only waited
trrnspotation. The second brigade
is reported under way before noon,
and will be concentrated at Brin-
ton, about three miles from Home
stead. The Third brigade will be
sent forward from Lewiston this
afternoon, and before- dawn to
morrow over 6,000 soldiers be
massed in the vicinity of the scene
of trouble. The first brigade is
expected to reach Mount Gretna
this afternoon, and will be held as
a reserve corps until further orders.
Homestead, Pa., July 11.
Hostilities are over. At a meeting
oi Btnkers this afternoon it was
decided by unanimous vote and
amid great enthusiasm, that the
militia should be welcomed to the
citv bv brass bands, and other
ceremonies appropriate to the occa
sion. It was also resolved that
any striker who should hoot the
militia or otherwise fail in proper
respect to the btate s representa
fives, should be ducked in the river,
and a committee was appointed for
that purpose.
The bursress was requested to
invite all citizens having no busi
ness in Homestead to depart, as it
was feared some unwise and anar
chistic sympathizers with the
strikers might seek to perpetuate
trouble. All the leadeis made
speeches and three brass bands of
the city tendered their services in
welcoming the militia. No one
doubts that all will be peaceful
benoeforth.
The Eastern Hospital.
The Executive Committee for the
Eastern Hospital, near this city, met
at the Hospital on the 4th inst., and
so great is the demand for room that
a third story is added to the new
laundry building, now being erected,
in which to sleep the better class of
male patients.
A brick building was nnl
be erected for a dining room for out
side employees, and it wa3 deemed
necessary to make this strucf.nrp twn
stories so that eight or ten of the
oetter class ot temale patients might
be provided with sleeping apartments.
These devices will
over-crowded wards in the main Hos
pital building temporary relief; but
there will still be urgent demand fnr
additional accommadtion3, and it is
hoped that the next Legislature of
our State will grant an appropria
tion sufficient to meet the pvor-in-
creasing demands upon this import
ant State charity.
lhere are, and .have been tor
many months, an average nonnlation
of 256 present, and the appropria
tion for this institution is on!y $33,
000 per annum, which amount is
carina: for the unfortunate neonle anl
making the varied improvements at
a per capita cost ot less than $130.
We are informed that so full are,
and have been, the wards that it is
impossible to receive any patient un
less one is discharged or dies. This
state of things ought not to exist in
any Hospital ; but the management
is not responsible, and, as before
stated, surely our Legislature will,
Dy necessary appropriation, give the
much-needed relief.
IN MEMORIAJI,
Whereas, It has pleased the Su-
reme Kuler of the Universe to re
move from our midst our friend and
brother Henry Yates Moore, now
therefore be it
Resolved Ry Goldsboro Council,
No. 500, Eoyal Arcanum, that while
we bow in humble submission to this
most mysterious dispensation of Di
vine providence, we recognize with
sad hearts, that in the death of our
beloyed brother this Council has
lost an active and. zealous member
and an efficient officer, whose life and
character has always been an influ
ence for good, whose example he a
been an inspiration to all who came
in contact with him, who was faith
ful in the performance of every duty
and true in all the relations of life,
and who, by his modeBt worth and
perfect sincerity, won the warmest
loye of all his brethren.
2nd. That we extend to his sor
rowing wife and relatives our warm -est
sympathy in this hour of deep
affliction.
3rd. That these resolutions be
spread upon the minutes of our
Council and also published in
The Goldsboro Argus and that a
copy be sent to the family of our de
ceased brother.

Woodland, N. C, July 12.
Dear Argus : The recent co il
weather made cotton tp-n yellow,
and we fear it is going to shed; but
we had a few nights of good sleep
any way.
Fruit is now ripening finely pud
the yield is larger than we expected.
Mellons are ripening fast and
there will te a great ni'ny sh'pped
from this section.
Children's day was observed at
Woodland church last Sabbath and
was a day long to be remembered by
the young folks. The people com
menced gathering early in the morn
ing and by eleven o'clock quite a
congregation had assembled. Many
speeches were made by the boys ami
girls, which were greatly enjoyed by
all present. Appropriate hymns
were sung at inf Drvals, adding much
to tha enjoyment of the occasion.
At the close of the exercises the
crowd retired to the school house
and partook of a basket dinner. All
present were sufficiently fed, and
there were of the fragments taken up
several baskets partly full. About
1 o'clock we re-assembled in the
church and listened to an able and
eloquent address by Dr. W. J, Jones,
of Goldsboro. While all the ex
ercises were highly enjoyed, many
felt like the best was kept for the
last .
