The thermometer registered 28 de- jjrees from 8 a. m. to 6 p. mi yester ! day without variation. Did such an incident ever occur before ? After 6 o'clock the temperature fell two de grees and was at the same point this morning. An inch of snow fell yes terday. s The male schools at Finley High and Wilson Academy orened last wetk with a largely1 increased attend ance at each, and Davenport Female College has a larger attendance than at any time since it was rebuilt. . Mr. J. A. Dula, of this county, has just returned from a visit to Bakers ville, and reports that Ed. W. Ray, one of the notorious mica mine mur Sen rs of Mitchell county, who was tried at Caldwell Superior Court and sentenced to twenty years in the pen itentiary on December 2, 1884, by Judge Gilmer, and was taken with Anderson to Asheville jail for safe keeping, but made his escape, was seen in Bakersville during the holi days by several of his friends, . and on his departure took bis amily with him from Bakersville. Mr. Dula says there is no mistake about his having been there, that he. talked with per sons that saw him during his stay in Bakersville. Large droves of fine horses and mules have been taken through here from the upper counties for the last few weeks for sale on the Southern markets. v Very few of the tracts of land ad vertised for sale by the sheriff for taxes will be sold, as nearly all will pay by the last of February. A large number have already paid. ( After a temporary delay, for a sci entific examination, of the metals taken out of the Spainhour and Hayes mine, work has been resumed, with favorable indications of a fine yield of the precious metals. t The persons wounded in the wreck on the Chester & Lenoir rail road are convalescing. Capt. Grist started on his run as mail messenger this morning, Conductor Waddell still suffers with his sprained: ankle and wounds on his head and will not be able for duty for some time.; Rev. B. L. Beall ha been moved from Hickory to his home, and is slowly improving from his injuries, but it will probably be several weeks before he can leave his bed. Powell, the Watauga county darkey who had his t'aw broken in the wreck, is said to ijkve left Hickory on foot the next morning and made his way home. Nothing further has been heard from him. f . The indications are favorable for saow to-night. Rilic. Some Ran Oldfooka. J A gentleman who lived J or several years in southern Europe and who is now a resident of this city, has some of the most rare and interesting old books in the world. Yesterday a reporter was shown some of them among which was a Latin Bible! printed over three hundred yean ago. It contains a great many books which were eliminated from the Bible by the King James revision. It has its original binding, which is of vellum, and is well preserved. It has, proba bly, 1,000 illustrations of an unusual character, the most peculiar feature of which is an attempt to represent God Himself. The Deity is shown in the act of making Adam of : earth with His own hands then making Eve from one of Adam's ribs. He is also shown as making the earth and all therein, and there are many other strange illustrations of a similar na ture. It is probable that no other book in the world shows an attempt td represent God Himself in person. Another volume is one that was made before the age of printing and is ptobably 600 or 800 years old. It has wood backs covered with heavy vellum. There are about 500 pages of fine vellum, upon which is written the forms of prayer and worship of an ancient monastery- There are two columns on each page similar in style to a common Bible, and every word is written with a pen. The writing is as smooth, plain and regular as any print with every page ornamented by eorcreous initial letters executed in many harmonious colors at the begin 1 nihg of every paragraph. The jink iB I as bright and as fresh as when it was first used. The book is in all prob ability the work of years of one indi vidual. The wood of the backs is badly worm eaten, but the vellum is well preserv ed and is as fine and smooth as any parchment on which diplomas are printed in modern times. It is one of the rarest documents known. The owner purchased it in Italy for $80. Work of the Relief Committee. The relief committee have delivered ode hundred and fifty loads of wood this month to the needy poor of the city. The demands upon the com mittee have been great owing to the bid weather, but they have been en abled no far to help all who; were really worthy of aid. Those who are not well known are visited by the dis tributor and their characters inquired into, and if they are found worthy of aid. are immediately helped. Occa sipnally there is a case of bad charac ter that is sick and Bends for am. At ter visiting the person help is ren dered rather than see such a one suf fer extreme want. But it is very rare that such persons ever apply.; The drain upon the treasury is great, and it is hoped the citizens will continue to eond in their contributions. Is there not some generous man who will give $100 to the poor of Kaleigh? This amount has been given many a time heretofore by a single person. Funeral. The funeral of the late Mrs. B: R. Harding took place yesterday at 11 )lock from her home on North Hal ifax street. The services were con ducted by Rev. Dr. Jos. M. Atkinson,, arid were largely attended. The tldral offerings were beautiful. The remains were buried in Oak wood Cemetery. The all bearers :were : Maseru. John B. Burwell, A. M. McPhffcters, Wm. S. Primrose E. R. Stamr s, S. W. Whiting, W. O. Etron ach, Julius Lewh and Prof. A: Bau-mann. CONGRESS. PROCEEDINGS IT: ERDA.Y SENA'ft AND HOUSE.

Among- the petitions and memorials presented and referred were the fol lowing: By Mr. Brown, of the medi cal Society of Ga to have surgeons' supplies and instruments placed on the free lit: By Mr. Evarta for the enactment uf an international copy right law. A Resolution was rrported by Mr. Jones of Nevada from the coimuHtee on. contingent expenses to pay to Mr. Liucas, who contested the sent of Sen ator Faulkner $1,000 in full for all ex penses and for any claim, for salary; and on motion of Mr. Faulkner It was adopted. lhe resolutions offered by ' Mr. Chandler some days ago.calling on the Navy Department for information as tP the purchase of plans and specifi cations in foreign countries, as to tle changes from the original plans in t 1 . 1 a 1 m tne construction 01 snips 01 war, and as to contracts made for ships and ordn tnoe since the 4th of March, 1885, were taken up. The first of them was adopted, and the second re ferred to the committoe on naval af fairs.As to the third,Mr. Butler ruoveii to amend it so as to substitute 1880 for 1885. Mr. Chandler expressed himself rs having no objection to Mr. Butler's amendment, but he preferred to have Mr. iiutler s proposition embodied in a distinct resolution, because, be said, all of the contracts and four- fifths of the documents between 18S0 and 1885 had already been transmit ted to Congress. The amendment was agreed to and the 'resolution adopted. The Senate resumed the considera tion of the deficiency bill, the ques tion being on the amendment offered yesterday by Mr. Hawley, to pay cer tain amounts for tne manufacture of postage Btamps, stamped envelopes, &c. The amendment was adopted. Mr. Hale, from the committee on appropriations, offered an amendment appropriating $261,161 to complete the construction and armament of three steel cruisers, the Chicago, Bos ton and Atlanta. A long discussion ensued, many Senators arguing against the propriety of putting into the bill amendments that would have the effect of delaying the passage, and Mr. Hale defending his action in offering the amendment on the ground that the Senate had just over ru'ed the position which the appropriations committee had taken on the subject (not to add any items to the bill as it came from the House), and also on the ground that the Secretary of the Navy stated that th appropriation was absolutely needed. Mr. Beck said that niuce the debate began, he had taken pains to inquire and had ascertained that another del ficiency bill containing all these imj portant items of appropriation would! be before the Senate within a week from this time. Mr. Hale then withdrew his amend ment. On motion of Mr.Evurts, ti e proviso Jimiting the rate of iuten st to 3 per cent upon tne amounts 01 duties upon imports improperly collected and re paid to importers, wa.s amended so as to apply only to suits or demands hereafter to be brought. The bill was passed. Mr. Blair gave notice that he would tomorrow, after the morning busi ness, ask the Senate to proceed with the consideration of the educational bill. . The Senate then, at 5 p. m , pro ceeded to the consideration of execu tive business, and soon afterwards adjourned. HOUSE. Mr. Henderson, of North Carolina, from the committee on the judiciary, reported the bill to amend theinternal revenue laws. House calendar. In its present shape, the bill abol ishes all minimum penalties for the infraction of the revenue laws, and confers npon fhe courts'discretion in the imposition 01 punisnmeni witnin the limits hxed by tne statute, it forbids the issue of a warrant in such cases upon information and belief, except -upon an affidavit made by the collector or deputy collector or reve nue agent, and with this eeption no warrants are to be issued except upon sworn Complaint setting forth facts as within the personal kno-vledge of the affiant. Payment of fees for warrants is forbidden, unless there be a conviction or the prosecution has been authorized by the United States Attorney, or unless the prosecution was begun by information or indict ment. The bill makes, all warrants returnable before the nearest judicial officer, who may make preliminary ex aminations and discharge, ; bad or commit to prison the person arrested. Circuit Courts of the United States and District Courts f-re also author ized to appoint as many commission ers in their districts as may be neces sary. The consideration of the morning hour was occupied by tho Kansas In dian land bill. Mr. , Bacon, of Now Yolk, asked unanimous consent for the present con sideration of the resolution reported from the committee on manufactures, directing that committee to inquire into the names, number and extent of the corporations engaged in man ufacturing, or mining, or dealing in any of the necessaries of life and known as trusts and pools, their method of doing business and the ef fect of their combination upon the prices of the necessaries ef life. In the dis ;usi-iou which followed it was suggested ( .t i.ol iv fomia! amendmenr) that it. aiiht bo well to include the whiiiko trust, the Stand ard Oil Company nuil coal-producing combinations. Mr. Riyner, of Maryland, in order to extend the scope of inquiry, moved to strike out the clause which con fines inquiry to trusts not incor porated under the laws of any State. The motie-n was agreed to. On motion of Mr. Randall, several anendmeats tending to broaden that, scope of inquiry were agreed to. A resolution. with the accompanying preamble, was then adopted as fol lows : Whereas, It is alleged that certain individuals and corporations in the United States, engaged in manufac turing, producing. miniDg or dealing in 6ome of the necessaries of life and other productions have combined for lhe purpbse of controlling or curtail ing the production or supply of the same, and thereby increasing their price to the people of the country, which combinations are known as association, trusts, pools and like nJirces; ai.d. Whereas, Sui h combinations not only inj uioubly affect commerce between States, but impair the reve nues of tl e United States as derived frojn its duties on imports; there fore,' I J tautf,; , That the committee on raumfaetures be, arid the same is hereby, directed to inquire into the names and number and the extent of such alleged combinations unde methods of combination or doing business, their effect upon the prices of any of the necessaries of life, and of all productions to the people of the country; upon its internal or foreign coinruerct . and its revenues from im pos't dutifu, together with any and all other matters relating to the same which may e ill for or suggest legisla tion by Congref s, and report the same to tho House with such recommenda tions as caid committee may agree upon. And for these purposes the committer on manufactures is author ized to sit during the session of the House, to employ a stenographer, to administer oaths, examine witnesses, compel attendance of persons, and production of papers. The House ih,eE, at 3 15, adjourned. AN'OKTII CAKOL1MAJI DUPED II y a Confidence Man in Philadelphia. Philadelphia, Jan. 25. A man giv ing his name as Jas. L. Peal, and stating that ho was a lumber and Hour merchant of Bethel, N. C, called at the Central police station this momirig and informed Chief of Detectives Wood that he had been duped out of 210 by a confidence man. Peal said that a few weeks ago he received a letter at his home from a man in New York named J. H. Ward, who gave his address as No. 150,Mulberry street, (care of Barber). The writer informed Pea 11 that he had a lot of greenbacks wLich had been printed from stolen government plates and which he would sell to Peal at a liberal discount. A cor respondence followed and Ward in forme 1 the Bothel merchant that he would meet him at the Pennsylvania railroad station in Philadelphia. Peal placed 500 in his pocket with which to purchase goods and left home for Philadelphia on Sun day. Here the old familiar ejnfi denote game was played upon him by an af fable stranger from Tarboro, N. C, who knew all about Ftjal and was glad to meet him so far from home; took him to dinner at his hotel, found him self, unaccountably short of ready ash. and would Mr. Peal oblige him till the bank.9 opened in the morning. Peal obliged him with $210. Next morning he began to think something hr.d gone wng and told his story to the police, and left for home with the .remainder of his money. Peal professed to have no suspicion that the money he proposed to purchase might be counterfeit. The Harbour Thread Mills Damaged by '' Fire. . Allentowx, Pa., Jan. 25.

Cor. of the News and Observer. Littleton, N. C, Jan. 24. Littleton has been snowed under for several days, but we expect to come again as soon as we can thaw. The Littleton Hotel changed hands on the first of Jan nary. Mr. James House became the owner and proprietor and he is running it in first-rate style. gia. table is, of the highest order of excellence. Mrs. House, the manager of the culinary depirtment, believes in good eatiog and will have it. Po the drummers say, and you know they know. ' Our merchants are very hopeful and say that trade is comparatively good. There is more money ia the country than usual at this season of the year. Farmers in this county have lived closer and raised more for home consumption than heretofore and are in better condition than they have been for several years. Our schools are in a flourishing condition. The male school, under the management of L. W. Bagley, is steaddy growing in favor and num bers. Tne large school building is nearly completed. Mr Bagley is an excellent manager of boys and is a very fine teacher. LITTLETON FEMALE COLLEGE. This institution, under the presi dency of S. t. Bagley, has grown be yond our most sanguine expectations; When Prof. Bagley took charge there were only about twenty pupils. Now he has enrolled about (S3) eighty- three and expects to run the number to one hundred by the next ter.ii. He is very popular with the young adies and gives entire satis faction to the patrons. The board of directors- are an intelligent and hard-working body of gentlemen and intend to make the institution a success. The faculty is full, with Prof. Meares, who is well and favora bly known in your city, as mus;cal director. His reputation as teacher of vocal and instrumental music is second to none. He is also giving special attention to training and cul tivating the voice. All the other de partments are well filled by thorough and competent teachers. CHURCHES.

Or of lhe News aud Observer. Washington, D. C , Jan 24. Judge Svhenck ia here to urge an appropriation for a monument to Ksia. Nathaniel Green at the Guirord ! Court House battle-ground. A bill approprial ing $20,000 for the purpose has been introduced by Congressman Henderson. The Library committee was to have heard Judge Schenck to day in that behalf, but for some rea son the meeting of the committee did not take place. The Judge is con fident that Congress will make the necessary appropriation. He has supplemented his patriotic efforts in this direction by writing a his tory of "North Carolina 1780 81." The manuscript is now ready for the printer and will be sent to the Apple tons. It will make a book of 300 ages. It is an exhaustive work and wiQ completely demonstrate, Judge Schenck says, how flagrantly the State militia has been misrepresented in connection with that campaign. In "Lamb's Diaries" he found to day a complete refutation of the accu sation of cowardice made against the North Carolina militia engaged in the Guilford Court House battle. There are many other vicious and pal pable historical errors, which this book will expose. Judge Schenck is a caustic writer and he does not mince words in discussing men and history. He has labored with great zeal and industry in the preparation of his history, and the work has been done with that thoroughness and ability which has long distinguished him as a great and successful lawyer. NORTH CAROLINA SPECIAL TAX BOND SUIT. Attorney General Davidson has been called here to look after the suit brought by one Temple against the State of North Carolina. The object of the suit is to compel the payment of the interest on the fraudulent bonds issued iu 1868. Judge Bond held that Temple, being a citizen of North Carolina, could maintain his suit against the State. The inhi bition under the 11th amendment of the Constitution applies, according to Bond, only to persons not residents of the State against which the suit is inctiiuted. Iu other words, the Con stitution protects the State againBt ci:izens of other States, but not against its own citizens. A similar suit is pending before tho Supreme Court against the State of Louisiana. Both cases have been advanced on the docket and have been set for hearing in April. A LITTLE ABOUT POLITICS. The Attorney General is well kuown to be a clever and well-informed Western North Carolina politi cian. He sees no occasion for any alarm at the Demo cratic situation in the State. He is inclined to regard Judge Gilmer as .the strongest men for Governor among those named as candidates for the nomination. He thinks, with a great many others, that Gov. Jarvis can have the nomination if he wants it, that he will take it, and will take it with the expectation of serving the. term, senator Kansom, he thinks, will be re-elected. Jarvis has many friends, but he has not the following that will warrant his candidacy against Ransom. Senator Ramsom's ability, he thinks, is underrated in North Carolina. He regards him among the ablest men the State has produced A curious fact is noted by the Attorney General in State politics. He has noticed, particularly in the counties beyond the mountains, a reaction of public sentiment on the internal revenue question. There is a rapidly grow ing feeling, he says, against at the abolition of the whiskey' tax. A great many prominent and influential Democrats favor the retention of this tax. PERSONAL. Revenue agent Battle, Judge Schenck, B. W. Ballard, R. White and Miss R. Parker are at the Metropoli tan. Attorney General Davidson returns to Raleigh Thursday. North Carolina In Congress. In the Senate Monday Mr. Vance presented the petition of Nathaniel Magruder, a citizen of the District of Columbia, praying compensation for injury to his property in est Wash ing caused by gradiner streets. Mr. Vance also presented the peti tion of the faculty of Davidson Col lege, praj ing for the passage of an international copy-right law. xn the Mouse Mr. Rowland intro duced a bill to provide for inclosing the Government reservation at Fort Johnston, at Southport. Mr. itowland also introduced a bill to provide for the erection of a pub lic puilding.at Charlotte. Mr. Simmons introduced a bill for the construction of a revenue cutter for New Berne, to replace the reve nue cutter Stevens. Mr. Simmons also introduced a bill to reimburse the depositors of the Freedmen's Savings and Trust Com pany for losses incurred by the fail ure of said company. Mr. Simmons also introduced a bill to prescribe the weight of standard silver for certain coins of the United States, to enlarge the legal-tender character of the half-dollar, and to permit the issue of silver certificates upon deposits of the same. Mr. Johnston, from the committee on public buildings and grounds, re ported uacK with amendment the bill for the erection of a public building in the city of Asheville. Confirmations.
