V.' j:-:: the New York Herald began
L'-juru Mr. Dana, of the Sun, for
t :e L:. Senate, as a representative
I'-;nucrat, it perpetrated one of the
ii.rs't:st sized jokes of the season.
Swe of the Republican papers are
y:-.-yxf.-c a remarkable amount of in
terest in 'he Democratic party these
days. The Peoria, 111., Transcript, is
kind enough to inform us that if
Cleveland is nominated in 1892, he
wiii ije heaten.
Senator Frye says that Force bill
V t one-te ith stringent enough for
h'.-i. '-.Veil why in thunder don't he
get upa'b il making it unlawful for
Democrat to run for office or for
ny one to vote for a Democrat?
Perhaps a bill of that kind would
conje up to Mr. Frye's idea.
Braver Shepard, of the New York
Mail and Express, say? that at pres
ent he is in favor of the renomina
iion of Harrison, but circumstances
may cause him to change his opin
ions. The only thing noteworthy
about this is that the Brayer thinks
he has opinions and has intelligence
enough to change them.
Senator Todd, of Georgia, has a
blIl before the Senate prohibiting
I'quors from being sold in that State
m 'ess quantities than a quart. This
,s rough on the average Georgian
when the regulation drink is made a
quart or a fellow has to buy by the
"'resale to take a toddy.
There is one cheerful view of the
Proposition to increase the member
of the House of Representatives
or bOO and the number of Sena
L
l0rs from each state to six. It
would give a chance for some more
Patriots to ce,- t ! r fir inn
make an opening in the Senate for
!
sume more millionaires.

VOL. XLVII.--NO. 73.
Forty patients have been inocu
lated with Dr. Koch's lymph in New
York, and within the past few days
five patients were inoculated at the
Johns Hopkins Hopital at Baltimore.
The effect is being noted with much
interest by physicians. The distri
bution of the lymph is supervised by
the German Government which is
taking an active interest in the ex
periments made with it. The Balti
more Sun thus describes the portion
received by the hospital:
"A small bottle scarcely holding more
than half a teaspoonfull was the portion
received at the hospital. The lymph is
kept inff highly concentrated form in
order to be proof against deterioration.
For practical use it is diluted with water
until the resulting liquid contains only
one per cent, of the original concen
trated material. The lymph is brown
ish, about the color of clear beef tea,
and is transparent. In diluted form
when ready for injection it is liable to
decay."
Senator Sanders, of Montana, has
an original policy for dealing with
the Indians. He says the only way
to bring the noble red man down to
his knitting and thoroughly civilize
him, is to treat him as the farmer
does his crops plant him first and
cultivate him afterwards. With some
more experience, the probabilities
are that Senator Sanders, who is one
of the grand larceny Senators, will
bloom out into a full blown states
man. When the Sioux chiefs said they
had been swindled by the census,
and accordingly cheated out of the
rations -tiue them. Congress voted
$100,000 for more rations. When
New York said he was cheated by
the census they didn't pay a bit of
attention to her. They would ra
ther vote $400,000 for extra rations
than give New York that extra
Congressman to which she would be
entitled with an honest census.
Master Workman Powderiy thinks
there is too much labor-saving ma
chinery in this country, and that it
prevents workmen from securing the
employment which they would with
out it. Mr. Powderiy, however, can
console himself as the Celt did when
; first saw a reaping machine in
operation, and exclaimed, "well, yer
a daisy at cuttin' grain, but be jab
ers, ye can't vote."
Billy Mason, the Chicago Con
gressman who has the pen with
which Harrison signed the McKin-
ley bill, says he would rather be a
street lamp in Chicago than a mil
lionaire in New York. If he didn't
show to any better advantage as a
street lamp than he does as a Con
gressman he wouldn't shed light
enough to make darkness visable.
The Grangers of Illionis and Wis
consin don't take much stock in the
sub-treasury plan. They demand a
lower rate of interest by stringent
usurv laws. There are lots of strin
gent usury laws now, which are sel
dom put in force for the reason that
the man who borrows money rarely
consents to become a party to, the
enforcement.
A workman crawled into one of
the big guns at Mare's Island (Cal.)
Navy yard and fitted so tight that it
took several hours to screw him out.
As there was no charge in the gun
he couldn't be blown out.
Brevet Major General Alfred H. Ter
ry, U. S. A., (retired), died at New
Haven yesterday morning.

BOARD OF ALDERMEN.
The "W. O. & E. C. R. R. Co. Want Ter
minal Facilities at the Foot of Church
Street and Peiition for Right of Way.
A called meeting of the Board of Al
dermen was held yesterday afternoon
at the City Hall. All the members, with
the exception of Aldermen Scott and
Bell, were present.
Mayor Fowler stated the object of the
meeting: To consider a petition of
the Wilmington, Onslow & East
Carolina Railroad Company for
right of way for the said road through
the extreme southern portion of the
city, along and across the following
named streets, viz: From Kidder's street
northwardly along Front street to a
point between Wright and Dawson
streets, with the right to cross Dawson
street or its prolongation, between Front
and Surry streets; and thence, when Sur
ry street shall be reached, along
it to Church street. The petition
ers also ask that Surry street
(now opened only to a point just south
of O'jeen street) may be extended to
Dawson street lor the purpose of a
right of way for the railroad. This
petition was accompanied by another of
similar purport from property owners
asking that the W. O. & E. C. R. R. Co.
be granted the right of way as above
set forth. The latter petition is signed
by S. & W. H. Northrop. W. L. Smith
for self and S. W. Skinner & Co., Caro
lina Oil and Creosote Co., and F. A.
Lord.
Alderman Smith protested against
any hasty action being taken by the
Board in the matter, and after some dis
cussion a motion was made by Alder
man Montgomery to refer it to a special
committee to make report at a called
meeting of the Board on or before the
22d inst. This motion was adopted and
the Mayor appointed as the committee
Aldermen Montgomery, Smith and
Craft.
Alderman Pearsall spoke in regard to
the proposition made some time since
to codifv the laws of the city, and offer
ed the following resolution, which was
adopted, viz;
Resolved, that the attention of the
Board of Audit and Finance be called
to the appropriation of $500, made bv
this Board for codifying the laws and

action be taken in the matter.
The Mayor appointed as a special
Sewerage Committee Alderman Post,
(chairman) Mayor Fowler, Alderman
Scott, Supt. of Health Dr. F, W. Potter,
and City Surveyor J. C. Chase.
The meeting then adjourned.
River and Harbor Improvements.
Capt. W. H. Bixby, U. S. Engineer in
charge of river and harbor improve
ments, in a note to the Star, says:
"Surveys recently made of the dredged
cut between Greenfield and Alligator
creeks, below Kidder's mills, show a
least depth of 16.0 feet, increasing from
that to 21 feet, over a width of 270 feet.
This work was done during the last con
tract and has kept its depth very satis
factorily." Bids were opened yesterday for dredg
ing the harbor at Georgetown, and the
contract was awarded to P. Sanford
Ross, of Jersey City, at 29 cents per hun
dred yards, in scows. There were but
two bidders. The Alabama Dredging Co.,
of Mobile, bid 37 cents.
Contracts were also awarded to the
Alabama Dredging Co. for dredging the
harbor at Beaufort, N. C, dredging at
New River, and dredging the waterway
between Beaufort and New River at
23 cents, 39 cents and 25 cents per
cubic yard respectively. Other bidders
were Skinner & Wallace, of Wilming
ton at 37 cents, 55 cents and 29 cents.
C. T. Cale, of Norfolk, bid 39 cents on
Beaufort harbor.

C, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1890.
FIRE ON THE WHARVES-
Warehouse and Naval Stores Burned
Wood and Shingles in a Blase.
Fire broke out about four o'clock
yesterday morning on South Water
street, below Orange, and partially de
stroyed the wharf, a wood shed, engine
and boiler and a lot of cord wood and
shingles on Messrs. Fowler & Morrison's
coal yard, and completely wiped out the
wharf and a large naval stores shed
adjoining occupied by Messrs. Robinson
& King and owned by Mr. D L. Gore.
There were about 400 barrels tar and 200
barrels of rosin belonging to Messrs.
Robinson & King in the shed at the
time, and all of these were destroyed.
The schooner Nouell, lying at Messrs.
Fowler & Morrison's wharf, came very
near burning, but was saved through the
prompt action of police officer Kunold
who went on board the boat and aroused
the crew who were asleep in their quar
ters. The master of the schooner cut
the lines fastening the boat to the
wharf, and she drifted down stream until
out of danger. In getting to the vessel
officer Kunolds clothing caught on fire
and his new overcoat was ruined.
The Fire Department put in sme
good work in staying the progress of
the flames, and excellent management
was shown by the officers of the depart
ment in che disposition of their forces
and getting the fire under control. It
was not finally extinguished until about
1 p. m., having worked its way under the
wharf among the pine piles on which
the structure was built.and being exceed
ingly difficult to reach. The Cnief of
the Department soon after daylight sent
the engines and teams back to their
houses and relieved the firemen with a
detail of three men from the Cape Fear
Company and three from the Fifth Ward
Company, and stationed part of the de
tail on a raft with a line of hose to play
on the burning piles under the wharf.
Messrs. Fowler & Morrison's loss will
not exceed $800, and is fully covered by
insurance in the New York Underwri
ters, Lancashire and Germania Compa
nies. Mr. D. L. Gore had $1,000 insur
ance on the warehouse and $800 on the
wharf occupied by Messrs. Robinson &
King, in the Carolina Insurance Com
pany of this city. Messrs. Robinson &
King's loss, on tar and rosin, was also
fully covered by insurance, in the North
America and Springfield Companies.
THE BONNET PARTY.
A Pleasant Entertainment at the City Hall
Last Night.
The Bonnet Party at the City Hall
last night under the auspices of the
ladies of the First Presbyterian Church
was a most successful affair. The hall
was beautifully decorated, and booths
scattered here and there were arranged
with artistic grace.
The Fourth of July booth was under
the management of Mrs. W. H. Nor
throp, assisted by Misses Jessie Kenan,
Lizzie Peck, Sue Cumming, Janie Nor
throp, Hattie Taylor and Mrs. R. D.
Jewett.
The Christmas Booth was under the
management of Mrs. H. H. Smith, assis
ted by Misses Etta Hart, Kate Taylor,
Kate Munson, Julia Worth, Mrs. T. C.
Lewis.
The May-day Booth was under the
supervision of Misses Rose Smith,
Belle Bagley, Rhea Dagget and Maggie
Smith.
The Thanksgiving Booth was in
charge of Mrs. E. Lilly, Mrs. G. Parsley,
Mrs. Jas. Chadbourn Jr., Mrs. W. R.
Kenan, Mrs. Geo. A. Peck, Mrs. O. A.
Wiggins, Mrs. Belle Robinson.
A Japanese Booth was in charge of
Mrs. James Sprunt, assisted by Misses
Isabel Savage, Gibson, Amelia Bellamy,
Belle Wood and Martha Williams.
The Bonnet table was a centre of
attraction. Upon it were bonnets and
hats of all descriptions and sizes, which
were dresssed by gentlemen present,
who volunteered their services. Their
deft fingers (and thumbs) soon pro
duced little gems, which were just too
lovely for words.
There was a good attendance, and the
booths were well patronized by the
visitors.
The entertainment will be continued
this evening, with the same price of ad
mission and increased attractions. Ice
cream, salads, coffee, etc.. will be served
at reasonable prices.
