The official report (long delayed) of the detective to the authorities of Haywood county is at last published, nhowing that the young man (Monroe Madison) who was shot at Pigeon river last winter took his own life, and was not murdered, as he claimed on his death-bed.

North eastern Railroad Company, and has written to Charleston to secure the services of an attorney. i .- The people of Durham are jubilant over the news that Lynchburg had subscribed $250,000 to the railtvay be tween these two places.

The people will extend aid in other ways to the enterprise, which is now an assured success. Judson College had its commence ment at Hendersonviile on' the 16th. The college is under the auspices of the Baptists of the western part of the State. Governor Scales arrived there on a special train from Charleston.

President Gray, several directors of the road, and some: English capitalists! had a conference with the Mayor and Citi zens' Committee of Wilmington in re gard to, the matter. The decision has not yet been made known. Wilmington Star : It was currently reported a short time ago that colored female servants in Wilmington were being organized by a number of the Knights of Labor, and that as soon as the organization .was perfected they intended making a movement for increased pay and shorter hours of labor. Inquiry set on foot developed the fact that secret meetings of the character mentioned were being held in a hall on Third street, but further than this nothing could be learned. Charlotte Chronicle : ' It was about 1 o'clock this afternoon when the crack of a pistol echoed from Amziah Rud disiirs barber shop, on Trade street, near the C. C. freight depot, and when the verdict went up, it was that Sam Barber had accidentally shot Jdhn .Montgomery in the hand, cutting off the middle finger of his left hand. Barber was holding a gun, a sixteen shooting Spencer rifle, when the ham mer was raised by one of them when the old blunderbuss exploded, with the above effects. State-Audi tor Roberts is sending circulars to the clerks of the superior courts of the various counties, in which he says : "Disabled soldiers and widows of soldiers entitled to pensions under the recent act of the State Legislature should not fail to come forward on or before the first Monday in July and file applications. If the pension was granted last year a new application must be made again this year." There will be some hun dreds of new pensioners who for vari ous reasons failed to get in applica tions last year in time, or who were ignorant of the law. Of course some pensioners have diet!, but this number is small. i i Wilmington Star : The residence of Mr. Martin O'Brien, on Front between Mulberry and Walnut - streets, was robbed by a burglar about half-past twelve o'clock Tuesday night. Mr. O'Brien had retired a short time-before the hour mentioned when he was was awakened by a young, man who ,. was lying on a sick bed m an adjoin . ing room, and arose just in time to see a masked man, whom be thought to be colored, escaping from the house. The sum of Jwenty-two dollars and fifty cents was taken from Mr. p'Brien's clothes, and a fine gold watch and chain, which were in. a pocket of his vest, were left, showing that the object of the robbery was money. An nnsuc cefssul attempt had been made only a short time - before to rob the same premises : -i EW XOr ?)

Thompson , --ol ;Keity,vaged 27, sfiot and killed hi wife a hand some woman of "about 23, and then shot himself twice, inflicting, fatal wounds. Mrs. Thompson lived twenty-, five minutes after being' shoti 'iHer wound was in the back of her head. The door was quickly burst open and a terrible sight was revealed. Upon the floor, their heads resting each upon seperate pillows, were Thompi son and his wife. The woman was dying; Thompson was groaning with pain; beside , him lay; the 'revolver which did the damage. Several phy sicians soon came, but just , as they did so Mrs. Thomnson breathed her last. The physicians turned their at tention to the man, and alt agreed, after a brief examination, 'that he could live but a short time. An am bulance having arrived the man was placed thereon and conveyed to the New York hospital in 15th street. The man arrived at the hotel with his wife five days ago and registered as from K. City, The couple had a large amount of baggage and seemed to have plenty of money. They were quiet and did not mingle much with the other guests. A telegram has been sent to Kansas City by Mr. Le land. The hotel people think "from appearances that the couple were on their wedding tour. An examination of the room revealed no indication of the cause of the tragedy. VJrs. Thomp son was in street costume and her hat lay beside her on the floor. This would indicate that she had prepared for a walk, but the appearance of the pil lows seemed to show that the couple were lying on the floor before or at the time of the shooting. NOTES FROM ASHEVILLE. Curious Case in Court--The Railroad Situation. Asheville, N. C, June 14. The Superior Court convenes here this morning for a "two weeks', session, Judge Shipp presiding. The criminal docket is the smallest it has been in many years. This is due to the estab lishment of the Superior Court for the drial of misdemeanors. The only case on the docket is one of an unus ual type. A negrd boy 10 years of age is to be tried for the murder of a white boy 12 years old. The two boys got into an altercation one day last fall. The negro said that he would see" the white boy next day "and fix him. On the day following the negro saw the white boy passing the cabin where the former lived whereupon he ran into the cabin, got a shoemakers' knife and run down the road, over took his antagonist, renewed the quar rel with' him, then drewthe shoe knife from his bosom and. so terribly cut ting him through the stomach and bowels that the unfortunate Doy died m a few moments. This is the young est defendant in a case of murder that has ever been tried in this section. The news now comes from the au thorities of the Asheville and Spar tanburg Road that trains are to be put on it in a few days. Two passen ger coaches for this road have already arrived here, and there seems to be a rather general hope and confidence in the fact that it may be convenient for the company to begin ,the opera tion of the road so long ago com pleted. Double daily trains, with sleepers, are to-day put on the roads from Cin cinnati to Asheville. About the 20th the same kind of schedule is to go into effect between this place and Salis bury. It is hoped that a similar ar rangement will be made for the Ashe ville and Spartanburg Road. ITEMS OP INTEREST FROM THE N. C. IMIQRATION DE PARTMENT, v , Mr. N. D.

C, June 7, 1886. lm Subscribers to The poftaits cf the com.iianders are clear and striking, accurate and life-like. They were produced bv eminent artists from photographs furnished by the surviving heroes, and by the relatives and friends of those deceased. The engraving is superb jn the display of art. clear and vivid in outline, and the grouping of the portraits at once convince the mind that the artist possesed an originality of conception never before equalled. The Historic Gray Uniform, the Gold Buttons, Stars and Braid on Collar, (denot ing rank), stand out in bold relief from the beautiful back ground, each portrait is made in imitation of a large Imperial Cabinet Photograph Ux6 inches,) distinct in every respect from the portraits surrounding it, yet so superior in conception, execution and harmony of colors that it defies criticism. The Commanders represented on the engraving are : Robert E. Lee, T. J. (Stonewall) Jackson, G-. T. Beauregard, FitzhughX.ee, Joseph E. Johnston, A. S. Johnston, Stirling Price, J. A. Early, J. B. Hood, R. S. Ewell, James Longstreet, Wade Hampton, W. J. Hardie, A. P. Hill, J. E. B. Stuart, Braxton Bragg, E. Kirby Smith, J. G . Breckinridge, Leonidas Polk and Admiral Raphael Semmes. : Only a few of these great heroes are'novv Iwing, and all of them were great, as Commanders of the Armies of the Confederacy, and they thus" became endeared to the hearts of the people of the South. Every Confederate Veteran served under one or more of these Gallant Leaders, and they and every true Southern Patriot should possess one of 'these jelegarit souvenirs. The engraving is appropriate for the parlor, library, hall or office, and will compare favorably with the finest paintings. . - The Portraits are Printed on one sheet of Heavy Plate Paper, beautifully Tinted (ready for framing), size, 22 x 29 inches, and will be sent to any address.,on receipt of Price, $2.00. : : ;. . ; READJHP FOLLOW ING, .TESTIMONIALS .
