TJbe Highest 'apl Most Powerful : ; Group of L-lgft ts in f he World. A Chicago special says: -The high est and most powerful group of elec trie lights: in . the -world is tonight blazing around the - tower f of : the Board of Trade building, at the foot of -La Salle street, a little over. 300 feet above the ground. " While", the building was in process of construe tion the idea of crowning its highest point with a ririg of lights was sug gested by Elmer A Sperry, a Oornell TJniversity man, . twenty-five years old. who came here from Cortlandt -N. Y., three years ago, and , forme d an electric-light moter and car-brake company. ; Various circumstances prevented the execution ot - this scheme until the present time. ! Mr. Sperry's company puts up the lights, the Board . of Trade furnishes the power, and the other - expanses are r aid by subscriptions from owners of surrounding property, including the Federal Government and several rail road companies. There are 20 of the lights, "and .they are fastened to a string of four-inch gas pipe 29 feet in diameter.;? The ring bangs on steel wires three-quarters of an inch in diameter, .running over sheaves placed at the extremities of four arms projecting from the tower near ine top. sy tne ropes, , wnicn are at tached to' drums in the clock-room. he lights are lowered, when' necess sary, to a balcony; surrounding the tower at the dial, 68 teet below. The lghts are of 2,000-.candle power each. and are connected with a 20-light dys namo of 29 amperes in the basement. The carbons will burn fifteen hours if necessary. ? The lights are to burn every night in the year. - To-night the glowing crown -;, is visible from every part of the city and for miles away. . it is reported that' it can be seen at Michigan Uity , sixty . miles distant across the lgke. It is thought mat tne Hgnc can oe seen irom a point in the lake oflE Milwaukee. The railroad yards ot the city are greatly oenenttea Dy tne lignc. . Senators'and Alcohol. : , Clereland Leader. ' - . -- The Senate adopted a rule yester day that no intoxicating liquor shall be hereafter sold on the senate side of the Capitol, and a lively discus sion took place when the subject was up before the senate several or the lpplers of the body insinuated their abhorrence of liquor in pecksniffian speeches. One or two avowed them selves teetotalers, and one who is known toy always keep a supplyvOf old Bourbon m his committee room, announced, himself the supporter of Riddleberger's amendment that no iquor should be permitted I in com mittee rooms. The discussion hows ever, announces to the people how discreditable and disgraceful .has be come the use of I whiskey and wine about the halls of Congress,. 1 1 . Many a man is ruined by coming to Congress, and the instance of Bel ford, or Colorado,: is the most notable of today. When Belford was elected he had the brightest prospects neiore him of any man in paDiic me. r xie had a memory which could retain Webster's v dictionary,: a wit which could keepCongress in roars of laugh ter, a command oi geierawzea Knowl edge which Jef t;him never atlai loss from ignorance : of any; subject that came perore tne nouse, and an mtei- ect quick to understand and take advantage qt the moment. He came here a soner man ana naa just Degun his bright career : when; m addition to tackling bills in Congress, he coni- m'enced a fight with liquor. .

Wilmington Review rWe regret to learn of a severe and painful injury sustained a. fewr days since by Rev. Peyton HHoge, the pastor of the First' Presbyterian church in this city. He was engaged in splitting some kindling wood.with a Ibatchet, when a small piece of the wood -res bounded and struck him in the right eye, inflicting a very painful wound, and ohe which may result in the loss of the sight of that eye. The sight is not yet entirely gone, but some se rious fears as to the result are enter tained. , MrHog$ has gone to Balti more . to consult . a noted specialist and for treatment at his hands. '. . Rockingham Spirit: We learn that on Christmas - eve, in Laurel Hill township, in this county, a white man by . the t name i of Wall Wright, struck a negro man, whose name we failed to learn, on the head with the blade of an axe, laying open the skull and exposing the brain. ; The negro was yet alive last Sunday, but therewas no hope of, his recovery. r Newton 'Enterprise :, Burke county will vote the second Tuesday in Jan uary on i the' question of subscribing $50,000 to the Carolina Central Rail road,4 to be used in building a branch road from Shelby yia Morganton to Cranberry.' .
