Those wise astronomers who are familiar with the plaueis of the solar system tell us that there will be an eclipse of the moon at 12 o'clock next Saturday night. The moon will be in the shadow over three hours. With a night favorable as far as clouds are concerned, the eclipse will be an interesting one. It is the only one cf four of the year that is visible' to this part of North America. About three quarters of the moon's . disk will be ob scured. There were heavy ' 'breaks' ' of tobacco on the floors of both ware houses in this city to-day. Some of the arrivals are from long dis tances and they bring their to bacco here on account of the rep utation for high prices that the Goldsboro tobacco market has al ready established. The number of buyers on this market makes competition brisk and thus the planter gets the full value of every leaf sold hor.c. The number of railroad em ployes killed in the United States during the year ending June 30 was 1.812, and the num ber injured, 25,996; passengers killed, 170; injured, 2,375. The number of passengers killed is remarkably small, being only one out of each 2,984,732 carried; and only one irjured to 218,651 carried. Liability of past e lgers to accidents is better shown in fact that 71,696,743 passenger miles were accomplished for every passenger killed, annd 5, 131.977 passenger miles for every pafseuger irjured. The distressing news comes from Pikeville township of the death of Miss Patience Smith, the amiable 19-year-old daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Erastus Smith. It has only been a short while since this paper printed ta5 sad news of the death of a son of Mr. and Mrs. . Smith, and now their parental hearts are wrung with grief on account of the untimely death of their beau tiful and lovable daughter -yesterday.

Atlanta Journal. There was once a Populist from one of the remote counties and bohold he lived in a small cabin home built of the logs of the forest, in which the wild beasts go forth with their young to seek their meat from nature's hand. And as he lived there cam to this simple man of na ture strange stories of the wealth that was to be found in the great cities wealth that made him open his eyes. Lo! it was told unto him that men had car -pets on th floor that cost as much as a dollar a yard, aud that the inhabitants of the cities had much meat and fed on milk and honey aad grew fat in body and saussy in spiriY aud it was told this simple son of the soil that all things were not equal and that the men living in the cities were living ins) much style that it m de him poorer and yet poorer. And it came to pass that as he fed on the corn meat and the hog meat that had been his child hood s diet, a feeling ; of great wrath arose in his heart and he felt that tbinas should, be equal izfid. Ana lo: when a little man from the South came ' forth preaching the doctrine of equal ity and more money to the farmers; when he cried forth that the denizens of the cities were wicked men and were rob bing the inhabitants of the coun try, the soul of this man from the wild woods throbbed respon sive and he joined himself and his family unto the leaders of the party, chief of whom was a man of little stature, but of mighty lung power, and through out tae borders of the country from the rising of the hills round about Habersham even to the going down of the cooters in the county of Chatham, he gathered much people unto his standard, and lo! he was named Tommy Watson and his chief lieutenant was a man who was king over a mighty peach orchard, and he was grown fat with much feed ing, ana they called him John, the Cunningham. So these mighty men in the land issued a decree that all the wronged men iu the country who were not as rich as those in the city should gather themselves together and arm themselves with a mighty weapon known as the ballot, and should drive the wicked "city BUCKLEN'S ARNICA SALVE.

And it was noised about that these two great lead ers bad opened up a stronsjr hold in the city that is called .Atlanta, in the street Wall, where they, poor in purse but rich iu resources, were to gather about them men who were willing to better their con dition in life. And behold as the days rolled on the simple denizen of the country who was wanting in money determined in his heart tl at he would see the simple headquarters opened by the leaders of the people, and quench his thirst from the gourd that hung by the well. He said unto himself, "I will arise in the morning and go hunt my people and together we will weep at the misfortunes that have come upon our land." And as the morning came up over the great hill that is called Kennesaw he had turn ed his back upon the farm and was journeying toward the great city. After much wearriness and vexation of spirit he found the headquarters that were opened yesterday, and up the steps he wended his way. He stepped upon the threshold in astonish ment, for no poverty was writ ten there, on the other hand opulence was on every side. He began to remove his dusty shoes, for, lo, the floors were covered with rich Brussels carpets and the walls shone with beautiful flowers that, gleamed from out the rich covering that hid the logs from sight. But ere his shoes were removed Cunning ham, surnamed John the Fat, came forth to meet him and said, "Nay, nay, my friend, I pray thee do not thus debase yourself, come in and together we will make merry." And the country Populist did enter, and, lotJJ.nstead of the poverty, he expected to teee, there was a rich lounge of plush upon which the mighty Cunningham.' surnamed John, was accustomed to rest as be dictated the for tunes of the cause of the common people, and instead of the pine table with which the visiting brother was familiar with, there were handsome rolltop desks in each room l and the rooms of which there were fiive were all covered with different colored carpets, except one, that had no carpet at . all, and the visiting brother, when he seemed so un comfortable, was told that this room was reserved for him and others like- him, so that they could be made to feel at home, but the fine rooms 'were fitted up for men high in the party,5 men like Watscu, the great, who had been to the mighty city of Wash ington, and Seaborn, the son of Wright," who lived . upon the seven hills of Rome, the Eter nal city. These were men of gen tler mold and it was meet that they should be well cared for. And, behold, as the visitor from the country beyond the Kenne saw hills sat iri the simple room and looked on the elegant sur roundings of the party to which he belonged, looked and remem- THE DISCOVERY SAVED HIS LIFE.

He saw all the elegance and his heart was sad within him, and he girded up his loins and fasted throughout the whole day as he footed back to Lis own home and told the wife of his bosom what be had seen. and. behold he opened his mouth and spake and said: "All is vanity aud vexation of spirit, and every man is a dissembler." He told the partner of his joys and sorrows that Cunningham. surnamed John, was the head of the great bouse he had , visited, as he is the chairman of both the State executive and campaign committees, and that Gambrel1, the doctor, was there lo take charge of the dry part of "the campaign, and, as the simple minded man talked, his wonder grew, and again he exclaimed as he laid him down to rest, and thought of the money that was squandered on the home of the party: "Behold, and again 1 say all is vanity and vexation of spirit and every man is a dissembler."

There were several present who had been mem bers of organizations of the kind before and they expressed a will ingness and an anxiety to become members of the , intended Golds boro, Brass Band. All that is necessary nqw to secure the , band is to purchase the instruments and employ a leader . - Everybody is aware that to do this will require some money. Capt, T. H. Bain was present by: invita tion and submitted propositions that he thought would secure the amount necessary. The steps al ready taken in this direction were with the understanding that the people of Goldsboro - wanted a brass band that the business men and the men of means would lend their aid and influence to the " es tablishment of such a desirable acquisition in our midst. Now an opportunity will be presented them to exhibit their city pride. Cap tain Bain proposes to wait on the moneyed men of the community and secure subscriptions to the amount of 200. 00, which amount is necessary for the purchase of the instruments. A record of the subscriptions taken by Capt. Bain will be kept and the amount will be refunded as the Band makes the money by engagements. In this manner no one will really be out any money, The idea is to have the community become responsible for the instruments by investing the amount required and each individual to hold a claim on the band property until the amount of his investment is refunded . By il all t m cms means cneiongieit loss or a musical organization to attend public exercises of all kinds can be secured without charitable sub scriptions. If the public, r pro gressive, enterprising, philan thropic men of Goldsboro the men who are proud of their cit izenship and want to see any ad dition made that will attract the attention of the outside world want to make a step forward now is their opportunity. .The people who will compose the band are mechanics and men who labor for their daily bread and have not the means to accom plish this object within themsel ves. With the proper encourage ment from those who are in a position to give it, Goldsboro can soon have the band. It now re mains to be seen whether the peo pic want a band or not. The mat ter rests entirely with the busi ness men of our city. . JUDGE RUSSEL. Will Open his Campaign This Week- Crops in Wake- Wilmington Star Special. Raleigh N. C August 17.

SURE TO GET MARRIED. I Every Girl Wh Sits at This Treasury Desk.,. There is in the mail division of the treasury department a very Dcmular desk, to which is attached the very peculiar merit that the occupant is by that ocoupancy placed on the sure road to matrimony. No sooner is the position made vacant than there is a scramble among the remaining clerks for the lucky place, the fortunate candidate feeling sure that it will only be short time before she is advanced to the Hymeneal ffrade. Within the past ten years the desk has been occupied by seven lady clerks following each other in quick succession as embryo brides, and the records during that time indicate that they have come from all parts of the country ODly to finally meet their destiny while, occupying, the fateful desk. . Miss Birdie Walker, of Tennessee, started the pace by marrviru? a resi dent of the district, after a few months' service. She was succeeded by her sister from the same state, who speedily followed her example and left the enviable position open to a newcomer. She arrived on schedule time from Virginia in the person or :lis3 Easby-Smitb. who shed the priory of a famous Virginian name over the talisman ic desk for a short time and then was led to the altar by a journalist of Washington. Next came from Delaware a relative of Senator Gray Miss Sue Gray who was followed in an incredibly short time by a delegate from Mas sachusetts Miss Mereine Dickey. ' Miss Dickey attracted much at tention during her stay in the de partment through her remarkable resemblance to Mrs. Cleveland, and later married Mr, Simon Flynn, who at that time was connected with the WashingtQn branch of the Baltimore Sun, and now manages a paper in Spokane, Wash. Pennsylvania also furnishes a rep- re3entive in Miss Ella Newton, a granddaughter of the first commis sioner of agriculture. Her marriage to a well-known resident of this city Is a recent event. The last gradu ate from this sough t-for post Is an other southern girl, and was for merly Mips Ida Lindsay, of Alabama, but on Easter Monday she became the wife of Dr. Henry D. Fry, of Washington, and the place is tem porarily unoccupied. This happy illustration of rotation in office, as exemplified by the fem inine contingent of wage-earners, Js the only one on record where nobodv "kicks," for each woman thinks she is advancing her Interests either by filling the position or leaving it, as the case may be. Washington Post. AT PARTY HEADQUARTERS. HOUSEKEEPING FOR GIRLS. Ctmmet.ci by Keeping Your Owr, Room In Order. The habit of thoroughness in housekeeping leads one to keep rooms in good order and the table beautifully appointed. I know a girl who says that she takes great pains with her room whenever she thinks her Aunt Mary is coming to see her, because Aunt Mary's sharp eyes discover every speck of dust, and observe every trifle that is In the least out of order. Aunt Marv is a bit of a critic, and her niece a little afraid of her comments. In other words, the aunt has made a coward of the girl. I do not like the idea of being in bondage to any body, whether an aunt or a stranger. t would seem to me a far better way to feel that one must answer to one's self, and that one would not feel satisfied unless she could look herself in the glass and say: "There, everything is done in the best possi ble manner, and you cannot find any fault with me to-day. TryNto, if you dare!" .. " I wonder whether you are particu lar to write notes of thanks very soon after receiving gifts or acts of courtesy? The value . of a note of thanks is greatly increased bv its being prompt. If some friend leaves bunch of violets at vour door, and fail to acknowledge it until the C&wera : have faded, your thanks, when they . do come, are -tardy. When flowers are sent to those who are ill, they, of course, cannot repay the courtesy bv a little note them selves, but some one in the family piould.'do it for them. Your . note f .thanks should be very genial, howirig that you are really pleased by the; kind attention and the hap pier because of it.

Populist Central Committee to Meet All Quiet at Democratic Headquarters Washington. August 17. An erroneous impression exists that toe fopunst committee meeting called for to morrow is one of the national committee, whereas it is simply a meeting of the ex ecutive committee, consisting of nine members as follows : Ma rion Butler, of North Carolina, chairman; M. C. Kankin, of Iu diana, treasurer: J. A. Edger- ton, of Nebraska, secretary: G. F. Washburn, of Massachusetts; H. W. ReeH, of Georgia; Dr. C. F. Taylor, of Pennsylvania, J. R. Sovereign, of Kansas, and Jno. S. Dore, of California. Messrs. Edgerton, Reed and Washburn are already here. The principal business before the committee will be the selection of national headquarters and the mapping out a plan of campaign. It may be determined to call a meetirg of the full national committee for some future datp, to consider matters over which the execu tive committee has no jurisdic tion. The executive committee can take no action looking to the remoyal of Mr. Watson as a vicepresidential candidate ' and the substitution of Mr. Sewell, having uo authority in the prem ises. The national committee alone could do nothing definite in that matter, having been given the same powers as the convention which nominated him. No prediction can be made as to the selection of headquarters. The Eastern and Southern mem bers of the executive committee are said to favor Washine'ton. while the western members ara favorably disposed toward Chi cago, the opinion in each in stance being based on the accessi bility of the political interest. Five of the nine members live nearer Chicago than Washing ton. The Republican committee are preparing extracts from all of Mr. Bryan's fre trade speeches. delivered while a member of the house, and will issue them as a campaign document. A large Tllimhpr of rpnnpctc Viiiuo glraaHir been received for the publication. Several letters received state that the speeches will prevent manv of those belifivins' in frse silver from voting for Bryan if it can be dmonarated that he favors absolute free trade. The Democratic headquarters were practically deserted this momiDff. none of the officials having returned from their Sun day outings. Senators Jones and Faulkner are expected later dur ing the day. The former spent Sunday at Pittsburg. Charlotte Observer: The at tendance at Rpck Springs camp, meeting this year was large. Two deaths and one birth occurred on the ground.

Frost, an evangelist at Union. Grove Church, near the residence of Mr. Jesse Rose, about four miles southwest of Fremont, in this county, of a week's duration, at which one hundred and twenty souls professed to have been greatly benefitted at the close Sunday night. There were fifty accessions to the church, which is of the Free Will Baptist denomination, eight of whom went into trance?, and tweaty -two were baptized by immersion, on Sunday after noon, and the whole community was greatly blessed by the meetings which were well ats tended, day and night. Mr. Frost, who is an able speaker, though quite a young man. handles his subjects well, and was listened to with pro found attention. He will hold a meeting this week at Fremont, to which the public are cordially invited. B. B. Raiford. Aug. 18, 1896. , , Four years ago the world stood amazei at the daring feat of the Viking . crew who sailed their open ship across the At '.antic to attend the Chicago Ex hibition, but a more reckless deed has been done by two Nor wegians residing in New Jersey, George Harbo and Frank Sam uelson, who started from New York . on June 6, in a 17-foot open boat, and arrived at the Scilly. Islands on August 1 They rowed the whole distance, being once upset in mid .ocean. Single voyagers have more than once made the Atlantic trip in sail boats, but this is the first time that it has been done by the use or oars alone; ana it only proves the truth of Sam Patch's immortal saying, that "Some things can be done as well as other. things," though tbey may hardly be worth the doing. Samuel, it will - be remembered, demonstrated the feasibility of things by jumping ' over the Genesee Falls,s and the inutility of the feat by failing to return to earth. sent During the terrific storm atMount Holly Friday afternoon, lightning struck and killed two' horses be longing to Mr., Lee Lowe Vick Neal, a negro living at the old Rock Island Factory, tied his cow under a tree Friday afternoon.

In Wake county there are several sections where- the drought prevails, having received only light showers. Chapel Hill has not had a rain for three weeks Wells are drying up there. Asheville Citizen: The moun tain party composed of Mrs. C. M. Piatt, chaperone;MissesRobin- son, Dorgan, Howard; the Misses Merrick's, Messis. Parker, Jonns- ton and Wiestling, returned home last night, having passed through a thrilling experience near the close or an otherwise pleasant journey, W hen at a point on the Hickory Nut Gap road about five miles from Asheville the party were held up by six men who sprang from the bushes lining the road side. The highwaymen, who were armed but not masked, demanded the money the members of the party had. Before they could carry out their plan, however, those of the party who were fortunate enough fo be armed drew their weapons and made the six move on. J. he remainder or the trip was made without incident. Dr. F. T. Merri wether, one of Capt. Robert B. Johnston's phy sicians, said this afternoon that Capt. Johnston, who was so ser iously injured in a runaway acci dent Thursday afternoon, was no better. At 3-30 this afternoan Capt. Johnston's condition was re ported as extremely critical. Richmond, Va., August 17. Captain John W. Starke, former ly a member of the First regi ment here returned to the city yesterday. He states that re cently he, in company with twenty-five others, left New York en route for Cuba via Tampa. At the latter place they were, he says, arrested at the instigation of the Spanish authorities, and he, after being detained as a prisoner two days, was furnished with transportation for home. j SiKWalter Besant tells us in the North AmericansReyiew that the "Anglo-Saxon" race can, if united, ruled the destinies of the world, ard he estimates the strength of the race at 120,000,- 000, not including the natives of India. Why not include them? They may not be Anglos or Sax ons, ethnologically speaking, but they are ruled by iiinglishmen, and, as we all know, everybody belonging to an English-speaking community is de facto an "Anglo-Saxon," when he is not a "ScottishJ.risbman"" Never theless there is. a tendency on the part of the great division of the alleged race,' the seventy millions of the United States, to repudiate the "AngloSaxon" myth and to maintain that using the English speech 7 does not make them Englishmen either in blood or in sympathy; and the countrymen of Bryan and Mc Kinley are perhaps more than half right in thinking so. - . The many friends of Captain Henry C. Hathaway, the rescuer of John Boyle O'Reily from im prisonment and death who were pained to hear that he had sus tained a reyerse of . fortune by being driven mto bankrupty, will be rejoiced to learn that he has been honorably acquitted of the unjust charge of ' conspiring to deiaud nis creditors, . a charge brought against him apparently from pure malice. Captain Hath away is a simple, kindly, brave sailor, just the sort of man to be caught by "land-sharks"; but he is not the man to : do . anything unworthy of his reputation If he has lost his fortune : he has saved that which is dearer to him, the honor of a high-minded American sailor. gALE UNCLAIMED FREIGHT.
