The Week's Gleanings from Our Exchanges Items of Interest the State Cver. Jak Hege, an old colored man, was accidently shot and killed near Win ston, last Tuesday, by another colored man. Beaufort Record: Wild ducks are being brought in. and they ' sell from twenty-five to forty cents per pair. In the paper box shop at Duke?s factory thirty persons are empioyea, and in one day 4,000 boxes were made. In Concord on Monday, the roof of a large warehouse stored with bug gies, and agricultural implements, was crushed in by the weight of the snow. Washin Progress: The postoffice at Chocowinity was broken open on Thursday night last and robb.d of stamps, etc., to the amount of $15. No clue to the perpetrators can be ob tained. Waynesville News : There has been a valuable discovery made near Web ster in the shape of a nicle mine. The vein is said to be 1.500 feet wide and several miles long. A Boston com pauy will work it. Dallas Current : Mrs. Susan Aber nethy, wife of George Abernethy, of Gaston county, carp in South Fork re-, cently that measured feet and 5 inches from tip to tip. It weighed 15 pounds and 5 ounces.

Asheville Citizen : Frank Avery, col ored, an employee of the Banner Ware house, was sent to the roof of that buildingMonday morning to relieve it of its weight of snow. By some mis step he stumbled and fell through a skylight to the floor, a distance 37i feet. His condition is a very serious one. Wilmington Star : The plans for the the enlargement of The Orton em brace arrangements for the private parlors, dinning rooms, night restu rant cafe, billiard room, readmgroom, etc., and now that the owner of the property, Col. Murchison, is in the city, it is hoped that the work of im provement will be commenced at an early date. Rockingham Rocket: Mr. John A. Long, of thi3 town, who lost his mind about two years ago and was sent to the insane asylum at Morganton N. C, died at that institution last Fri day, 3rd inst. His remains arrived on the train Monday night, and were in terred at Zion church on Tuesday. He xpfta fnrmfirlv Sheriff of this COuntv and afterwards Clerk of the Superior Uourt. TTio.korv Carolinian : Our State ex- n.bances are convinsrthe factnublished by the Press some time ago, that the commissioners of Hickorv laid no tax this year. The secret of the bussiness m is that it was laid on grop-shops last spring, and the patrons of the shops pay it to the tune of $1,250 for this varv vear. As we don t Dav a cent of j m. that tax. we guess we can stand it if the drinkers can. Wester's Weekly, of Reidsville, last week said : It is not true that Con gressman Reid has made an assign ment, as statecl in some of our ex changes. Some heavy mortgages and deeds of trust have, however, been recently offered for registration.

News and Farm : The eels in Dr. K rner7s Dond nad sometniner or a picnic at the beginning of the cold wet weather and lett the pond in such numbers as to almost stop the grind ing for a day, as they went down the race into the turbine wheel, where the passage is not large enough to pass a larere eel. The miller took out six teen large ones in one day. Tf any one can beat this with the truth, we want to hear from them. Winston Repvllican : We are told of a very sad death that occurred in this city a short time since. A father and mother retired, with their infant child sleeping between them. In the early portion of the night the little one was to all appearrances well and hearty, but in the morning the parents' grief knew no bounds when they awoke and found their child cold in death beside them. The cause of death is a mys tery and might possibly have been from suffocation or from a sudden attack of some fatal disease. New Berne Journai: The managers of the A. & N. C. Railroad haye be gun work already to rebuild the ware house at Morehead City. The old one it is said was not suitable for the busi ness ; the increase of business at that point would have made it necessary for the company to erect an addi tional house soon, but since the old one has been burned down a larger and more commodious one can be erected on the spot. It will be built of iron and wood and will be almost fire proof. The loss, it is said, in the burning of the old one, will be comparatively small to the com pany. New Berne Journal : A considerable crowd being at Bell's Ferry on Satur day, Christopher Bland was appointed special policemen. During the day he arrested a man named Brooks for disorderly conduct, and while trying to take him to the lock up, John Can non conceived the idea of releasing him, regardless of law. Against the persuasion of his friends not to in terfere, he went to Brooks assistance and in his efforts to rescue him re ceived a blow on the head from police man Bland which felled him. He was taken to the residence of Mr. Sum merel, near Jolly Old Field, and a physician summoned. Sunday morn ing about 2 o'clock he died. A coro ner's jury viewed the, body and ren dered a .verdict that he came to his death by a blow from the hands ' of an officer in the performance of his duty. THE CASE OF CLUVERIUS. i I . . , ...... ' ,i Cumulative Evidence of Guilt The Telltale Watcn Key. Richmond, Dec. 9. C. H. F. Deur ing, an ex-police man, who was arrest ed last night on the charge of bribing Herman Joel, the watch-key witness in the Cluverias case, was before the Police Court to-day, but his examina tion was postponed until the 18th inst. When considering petitions for Exec utive clemency in the case of Cluver ius the Governor sent for Joel and questioned him in regard to the watch key. At the request of the Governor, Joel described the interior of the watch key, which he had repaired for Cluverius, and afterwards opened it in the presence of the Governor. His description tallied exactly with the in terior of the watch key. At the trial the Commonwealth asked that the key be opened by Joel, but counsel for the defence objected. This was perhaps the strongest point in the evidence against the prisener, and now since ltr has come to light that tne interior oi the watch key was found to be as de scribed by Joel the evidence of the prisoner's guilt is even more conclu sive. Chief of Police Poe to-day re ceived a letter from Superintendent Murray, of New York, containing the following, which he had received on December 8, 1880 : "To Superintendent Murray Dear Sir; I am sorry that the authorities of Richmond are making a great mis take about Cluverius s case. He is the wrong man. Sorry he could not prove an alibi. I had an opinion he could, and now there is nothing left for me but to surrender myself as the murderer of Lillian Madison. I will surrender on the morning of Cluver- ius's execution at your headquarters. It is unnecessary to give you further particulars, as my case will show clearly about the murder at my trial. I cannot wait any longer of confessing my crime, as my conscience has trou bled me enough. I will prove all when I surrender, and there is nothing left for me but to surrender, get trial and probably hang. "Lillian Madison's Murderer." The police here regard the letter as the effusion of a crank. THE RAILROADS. Will the Central Sell OutRich mond and Danville Matters. Charlotte Observ er The latest information which we have in regard to the proposed "inva sion of the South" by the Pennsylva nia Railroad Co., is that it has defi nitely decided upon its route. An agent of that company says that they will build from Norfolk, Va., to Mon roe, N. C, where they will connect with the Seaboard and Roanoke Air Line, controlled by John M. Robinson, of Baltimore. This system reaches Charlotte, and will eventually go as far into Western North Carolina as Asheville. From Monroe it is pro posed to build direct to Atlanta, tak ing in Athens, Ga., and Columbia, S. C, en route. It is stated by persons in position to know that the Pennsyl vania has offered to buy from Mr. Robinson the entire Seaboard and Roanoke system of roads, and lines of steamers now running between Balti more and Norfolk in connection with the Seaboard and Roanoke system." These statements can not be affirmed in any principal quarter. THE RICHMOND & DANVILLE. Mr. James B. Pace has returned to Richmond from New York, where he spent part of last week in conference with prominent railroad men interest ed like himself in the Richmond and West Point Terminal and Richmond and Danville affairs. The State says that he is in the best of spirits over the condition of the Terminal matters, and says the outlook for the Richmond and Danville system could not be bet ter. The transfer books of the Termi nal closed Saturday. The details of the Terminal meeting have not been completed. The stockholders may sim ply have a routine meeting, carrying oat in due form and ratifying what has already been done by the board. Or some new project in addition to the transactions heretofore published may be brought up. The annual meeting of the Richmond and Danville railroad company will be held in Richmond, but after hearing President Buford's report it will adjourn until some day in the near future probably Saturday or Monday. The adjournment wiil be owing to the fact that the first pay ment on the $5,000,000 to secure the control of the Richmond & Danville is not due until Thursday, the 9th in stant, and of course the property could not chauge hands until that date. The Terminal, by terms of agreement, was to pay the $5,000,000 in three in stallments. December 9th, January 9th, and February 9th, but arrange ments have been made to anticipate the dates and pay in full within the next ten days. Mr. Pace says that the general of fice of the Richmond & Danville rail road will be removed from Washing ton to Richmond very soon. The probability is that the removal will be made by the first of January. The new purchasers of the Rich mond & Danville are very anxious to retain the services of General Man ager E. B. Thomas. Rumor has it that he has been offered the presi dency of one of the Vanderbilt lines, but the Terminal people will doubt less prevail upon him to remain where he is. It is said that few if any changes will be made in the general or local offices of the Richmond & Danville system. WESTERN RAILROAD CON NECTIONS. The Philadelphia Record of the 7th says: It was practically admitted yesterday that the negotiations pend ing between the East Tennessee, Vir ginia and Georgia and the Norfolk and Western Railroad Companies had about been completed. The terms have not yet been made known, but it is declared by some to be a guarantee of 7 per cent, upon the preferred stock of the East Tennessee by the Norfolk and Western Company. The East Tennessee is earning all of its fixed charges, which are $1,072,000, cover ing all the bonds issued, and the com pany has 11,500,000 of 5 per cent, consols unissued in the treasury. The lease will make the Norfolk and Wes tern a trunk line, and will secure to it the through business which might otherwise be diverted to the Richmond and Danville and the Wpstm Knrth Carolina system. The lease will also connect the Norfolk and 'Western with Texas Pacific- and also -with th city of Chicago. '-Miscellaneous' Stag ( mm JEW. YORK. PHILADELPHIA and MFQLK TWO TKAINS IN EACH DIRECTION.
