A white girl married a negro near
Louisvdle, Ky., the other day. A
colored preacher performed the
ceremony. Immediately afterwards
the girl's father appeared on the
scene and the happy groom is now
languishing in jail. The penalty for
the offense is three years in the
Penitentiary.

The railway commission bill fail
ed in the Senate yesterday, simply,
solely, entirely and exclusively be
cause of the opposition to it. It
might as well be accepted as a set
tle fact that the failure of the bill
was not due to its demerits. There
ha'nt been a legislature in North
Carolina in ten years that has had
pluck enoughHo pass any kind of a
railroad commission bill, to which
the railroad people objected. There
is the truth in a verv small nut sell.
Mr. Cowles is a North Carolinian
and Mr. Cowles is a Democrat, ac
cording to the usual stiindard, at all
events he is supposed to be one, as
he fought that way during the war
and now represents a democratic
constituency. Mr. Randall, acoqrd
ing to some of the latter day saints,
is a Republican, and yet Mr. Cowles
and Mr. Randall are politically as
thick as two in a bed and Mr. Ran
dall is to introduce Mr. Cowles1 bill
to relieve us of the infernal revenue
fraud.

The entertainment given at St.
James' Home last night, for the
benefit of that excellent institution,
was largely attended. There was' a
profusion of refreshments, which
were rapidly disposed of, and from
what we can learn we judge that the.
occasion proved a financial as well
as a social success.
Itovk Cryfcil Spec-tatcle ami Kyeglaaas
Advice to old and young: in se
lecting spectacles you should be cau
tious not to take more magnifying
vower than lias been lost to the eve
as in the same proportion that you
pass that point of increase, will cause
you further injury to the eye. Using
glasses of stronger power than is ne
cessary is the daily cause of prema
ture old age to the sight. You can get
the best at Heinsberger's.
Soiree for the Old Pupils.
At German ia Hall to night Prof.
Bellezza will give a soiree, compli
mentary to all of the old pupils of
his dancing academy. All are es
pecially and particularly invited.
The idea was only conceived during
the day and it has therefore been
impossible to extend the invitations
personally. The Professor there
fore hopes that his invitation thro'
this medium will be considered suffi
cient and that all who can will at
tend. Dancing will begin at 8
o'clock. Mrs. T. J. Southerland will
chaperone the party.

position and will try and get some,
aid in the propagation of shad from
the U. S. Fish Commission. He says
hat the bill presented by the Cham
ber of Industry has been very fav
orally received and has every pros
pect now of beooming a law.

Dangerously Wounded.
There was a shooting affray on
the line of the C. P. '& Y. V. R. R. ,
about four miles above the city,
about 12 o'clock to day. A colored
woman, whose name we did not
learn, was shot by a white man in
the groin and seriously injured.
Since the above was iu type we
have had soiue further particulars.
The injured woman is named Millie
Collins and she was the cook of the
gang working near the city. She
was quarreling with some other col
ored women when Capt. Flagg, the
overseer of the gang, interfered to
quiet the disturbance. The others
left but Millie Collins became in
volved in an altercation with Capt.
Flagg, which resulted in trouble be
tween them and the wounding of
the woman. She was shot four times
in the right leg and hip.
She started to walk to town but
fell from weakness caused by the
loss of blood and in this state was
fouud by a colored man named
Isaac Ttate, who brought her on to
the city. Her wounds are not con
sidered as necessarily dangerous.
