Cor. of the News and Observer. Washisqton, D. C., Jan. 30. Daring the past week Mr. Hender son baa bad frequent conferences with the Democratic members of the wars and means committee with a view to facilitating such internal rev enue legislation as North Carolina in terests demand. Among the changes in the law emphasized and urged by him is the repeal of the tobacco and brandy tax, and the main features of two bills introduced by him in this Congress, which have been adverted to in this correspondence. Mr. Hen derson said yesterday that he felt pretty sure of everything except the absolute repeal of the tobacco tax. The tax on cigars and cigarettes, he think", may be retained. The tariff bill, he says, is practically completed, and in two weeks time, he thinks, it will be reported to the House. Congress is doing nothing, and will do nothing until the tariff de bate in the House is concluded. Once begun it will have the right of way and will yield only to appropria tion ; bills. The debate may cover months, and promises to be profound ly statistical. Afew notabld speech es only will be made. Mr. Carlisle, it is ftaid, expects to make a speech early in the debate. Mr. Randall's attitude is still questioned, but he has not the power to defeat the commit tee's bill. ; AN INVENTIVE TAB HEEI. : The Surgeon-General of the United States says Dr. Gregory's bandage will prove as great a boon to humanity as did the discovery of chloroform. Its simplicity is won derful, and the eminent surgeons and physicians here who examined it mar veled that it had never been thought of before. Dr. Garnett, said in his characteristic way, "Why in the d 1 didn't you think of it before t" The doctor has applied for a patent, and he will soon begin the manufacture of the bandage on an extensive scale. He has also invented and will have patented a pulse register. The Pond register, the one in general use in the practice, is a costly, com plicated and cumbrous machine. The Gregory register is not much larger than a silver half dollar and can be car ried in the vest pocket. It will not cost exceeding $10 00 against $50.00 the price of the Pond instrument. The Doctor has thoroughly tested this register in Lis practice, and its accu racy is perfect. Another recent in vention of the gifted and versatile Carolinian, which has been patented, as a steam engine. One of these days the doctor ought to be famous and wealthy.

Cor. of the News and Observer. Tabbobo, N. C, Jan. 28, 1888. There was quite a sensation in town last night. A suspicious look ing box waa found in a room in the Tarboro House, and as the hiero glyphics could not be made out and i no owner could be iouna ior it, it was opened, and found to contain dynamite. Wonder and astonish ment ruled for a lew moments, then the box was taken to the Tar river and thrown in. It had hardly disap peared from sight when some one suggested that the box might come into collision with a pillar of the rail road bridge, explode and scatter that structure over the township. This created anothtr little sensation, and the fate of the bridge was a subject of speculation for a short while. It is not known by whom or for what purpose the box was left at the hotel. Vac.

" Last night, in Metropolitan Hall, Adelaide Smith and Ednorah Nahar, two colored artistes from Boston, ap peared in musical and recitative con cert. They attracted a very large audience, including quite a number of. white people. It is fair and truth to say that the white portion of the audience enjoyed the con cert thoroughly, and gave unstinted applause to the artistes. The color ed people showed great apprecia tion. The programme was happily made up, and the different pieces ren dered with great artistic ability and in a very pleasant and acceptable manner. The '"Suwanee River" was interpreted by Adelaide Smith with far more force and pathos than is usually noted in its presentation. Rev. J. C. Price, who is also of the company, made an eloquent and forcible address during the evening oil: the 4B ace Problem. , After the concert the company was given a reception by the Hesperian Social Club, -at the residence of An thony Allen. Funeral. Xhe funeral of Daisy,tbe little daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Upchurcb, was held from the Baptist Tabernac le on last Sunday at three o'elock, conducted by Rev. G. S. Williams, assisted by Rev. J. T. Gibbs. The services were attended by a large number of sympathizing friends, many f whom made beautifel floral, offering-. The interment was in Oak wood cemetery. ; Washington, D. C, Jan. 27. Senate- Amorjg the petitions and mem orials presented in the Senate and referred were the following : Of the National Board of Trade in favor of reciprocal relations between the United States and Canada; from various States in favor of pro hibition in the District of Columbia; of a copyright law; of the interna tional exposition and of a constitu tional amendment against the liqucr traffic. The following bills were reported from the committee ou public lands and placed on the calendar: For ju dicial determination of the rights of the United States in lands granted to Florida for railroad purposes under act of the 17th of May, 1856. Mr. Hoar, from the committee on privileges and elections, reported the proposed constitutional amendment as to Congress and said he would a?k the Senate tomorrow to take it up and deal w;th it.' Mr. Sawyer, from the postoffice committee, reported back adversely the proposition to reduce letter post age to one cent. He stated in reply to Mr. Beck that the committee had made no written report, but that it did not think it prudent to attempt to reduce postage at present. I he postoffice department was still run nine behind, snd it was thought bet ter to wait till it was sell-sustainii.6 before any further reduction of post age was attempted. Placed on the calendar. Mr. Plumb offered a resolution in structing the postoffice committee to inquire in to the causes of the inefficient mail service, especially in the V est and South, and presented newspaper extracts and letters to show the Democratised" condition of the ser vice in Kansas, the result of "a stupid attempt to make a record for econ omy." He said that the late Postmaster-General had seemed to be Eossessed of a frantic effort to make oth ends meet, and that he had, in that effort, deprived the people of what they always had had until within a short period of time. The postal service in the west bad got to that point where its condition was abso lutely unbearable. The resolution went over. The House bill making appropria tions to carry into effect tne law establishing experimental stations at agricultural colleges ' was reported from the committee on ap propnations and passed with an amendment appropriating the money from the Treasury directly instead of devoting the proceeds of the sale of public lands to the purpose. THE blaib bill. The Senate then took up the Blair educational bill and Mr. Morgan ad dressed the Senate in opposition to it. 'Mr. Evarts took the no or aim an nounced his intention to speak upon the bill tomorrow. Mr. Blair re ferred to a statement circulating through the press as to ex J utiUce Strong of the supreme XJourt naving declared himself against the conatitu tionality of the bill. Ha had taken the pains to Speak to Judge Strong personally eo that he might be able to deny the authority for the improbable statement that Judge Strong had said he had spoken with the members of the Supreme Court on the subject- He had it from Judge Strong s own lips that be had no con varsation with any of the Justices of the Supreme Court about the bill and knew nothing whatever or their opm ions about it Mr. Vest asked Mr. Blair whether Judge Strong had not stated to a law class in Washington that he believed the bill to be unconstitutional Mr. Blair replied in the negative, Judce Strom? had told him that, he made no allusion whatever to the bill in any lecture, but that when his lecture was over ono of the students asked him what Le thought of the constitutionality of the Blair bill and that h-:n reply was that he doubted its constitutionality. He (Mr. Blair) had never hoard any Republican express a doubt as to the constitutionality of the bill. Doubts had been expressed by Republicans of its propriety, of its necessity, but not of its constitutionality. He held in his hand a memorial of the trustees of the Peabody fund in 1880, signed by Robert C- Winthrop, Mr. Waite (now Chief Justice of the Supreme Court), and William M. Evarts, ask ing Congress to grant aid to secure to the colored people of the Southern States the education necessary to lit them for the discharge of their duties as citizens of the United States. Mr. Reagan remarked that the gen tlemen who signed that memorial re pudiated the idea that the appropria tion which they asked should be fol lowed into the States by congress ional legislation.

LOWBV VS. WHITE. The committee on elections sub mitted a majority report on the Low- ry-White, Indiana, contested election case, deciariijg the seat vacant and a Hinon,ty repot t confirming Mr. White's title. Both reports were ordered printed, and Mr. Berry, of Mississippi, gave notice that he would ask action upon them on Thursday. The Speaker pro tern la'd before the House a letter from the public printer in response to the resolution calling upon him for information as to discharges made by Lim. The public printer makes a statement in regard to those dis charges, justifying and explaining them; defends the administration of his office and emphatically denies the charge that the Congressional work of the omce is largely in arrears. , A POLITICAL DEBATE. The letter provoked a heated politt cal debtte, which ended by Mr Cutcheu, of Micligar?, offering a res ojlution ior the appointment ol a spe cial committee to investigate the prebent adminis'ration of the printing qfhee. t Mr. Springer, of Illinois, offered as a substitute, a resolution in eiructing the committee on printing with the addition of two members tine fro, a each side of the House, to investigate the administration of the printing office during the incumbency 6f the present public printer and ttat Of his predecessor. 1 Mr. Heed, cf Maine, suggested that the investigation 'of a man who is dead could hardly help members to get their documents quicker, and he appealed to Mr. Springer not to make a partisan thing of the inquiry. Mr. Springer denied that there was anything partisan in his resolution He wanted to institute a comparison between th work of the printing office under the present admimstra tion and under that of the former public printer.

One of the largest fires that have occurred in this city for many months broke out in the store of Henry Rogers & Co., 549 Broadway, early this morning. It extended and destroyed hve adjoin ing stores. Three sixes were sounded and all the engines below Forty-second street responded. The property occupies the west side of Broadway, between Prince and Spring streets, and extends through to Mercer street. The loss cannot be estimated at pres ent. No. 549, where the fire origi nated, waa a five-story iron front double building. The first floor was occupied by M.

About 5.30 President Purefoy of - the Fire Commissioners and several firemen were standing on the roof ofi 549 and 551 when the walls were felt to tremble. An or der to retreat was given and all rushed for 553. Even so several of the men were bruised by the falling brick of the walls. Mike Kellv, as eistant foreman of Hook and Ladder Company No. 8, fell and re ceived a bad scalp wound, as well as dislocating his arm.

The stock in eight buildings was totally destroyed, t In the other buildings, facing on Spring and Mercer streets, there is damage by smoke and water. The buildings on the east side of Broadway are also somewhat injured by smoke and. flying bricks. Fireman ;Kelly died at noon from his injuries,: But little can be learned of the individual losses.

The insurance men now say the loss will be $1,500,- 000. The buildings destroyed were valued at $500,000, and on these the insurance is comparatively small. The damage to the stock is now estimated at one million dollars.

Reports reached this city at an early hour this morn ing that a long freight train, west bound, on the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern railroad, had gone through a bridge two miles west of Pine, Ind. A brake man named Coulter is the only person reported to have been killed. The train was loaded with inflammable material and caught fire in some manner. Many of the cars were involved in the wreck, and as there v. ere no means at hand for put ting out fire the loss will probably be very heavy. An engine and hose cart from the Chicago fire department ac companied the wrecking train which left soon after the report was re ceived. Boston. Jan. 30. A special dis patch from Providence, II I., says that the cities of Bristol, Warren, East Greenwich, Fall River, and other Bay Side towns were, badly shaken np last night by a dynamite explosion in Newport harbor. In many places the shock resembled an earthquake, and reports from the va rious points today speak of it as a genuine earthquake, the cause not being generally known. No' other cause for the shock was known here until today when it was learned that in Newport harbor efforts were being made to clear the har bor of ice fields. It is twenty miles from Greenwich to New York and thirty from Providence. On College hill, Providence, houses were shaken very perceptibly. Bristol was Shaken to its very centre, and much th same experiences were had in Greenwich. The ice is considerably cracked, up in Bristol harbor by the explosion 18 miles aS. At Fall River the earthquake is described as beginning with con cussion like a thunder-clap, and the ice in the harbor cracked. I; Providence, R.

Whatever may be the final result of the agitation for a new gas com pany, it is reasonably certain that if the board of alderman manage wisely tney can secure, not to the city alone but to the. community as well, a permanent reduction in the present Ence charged for gas. If this can est be accomplished by a new com pany, let us speed that work.

The Inferior Court concluded the January term, one week, yesterday. There were eighty-six cases on the docket, all of which were disposed of. One prisoner, a thief, was sentenced to the penitentiary for two years. One important slander of female ease was tried; the defendant convicted, and sentenced to a fine of twenty-five dollars and three months' imprison ment. The slindered person was a sixteen-year-old girl, belonging to a leading family on the north fork of the Swannaxoa. The slanderer was " a young married man. Medical experts were called in to aid in the establishment of proof of the girl's chastity, and the case was altogether of a very lively and interesting nature. : The Inferior Court is doing a good work. But it ought to sit at least one week in every month. As it is now, the business is greatly hurried, and of course not so thoroughly done as it ought to be. Facilities for the administration of justice are entirely too meagre and cramped. Carrier's Springs is the name of a new postomce established on the Ducktown Railroad four miles west of Asheville, for the convenience of the Sulphur Springs community.

C, Jan, 28, 1888. In the Raleigh Chronicle of the 19th there appeared a communication written from Washington that did, to put it mildly, great injustice to some of the members ot our delegation, and that abused, while disavowing it, our good old State. I waited, think ing some one would reply in the next paper, but alas! no one did. The whole trend of the article seems to be abuse of North Carolina for sending "raw, inexperienced, and incompetent men" here to represent her in Congress "without culture or native ability," and bewailing the days when "abler men" tifilled these honored places. It regrets that North Carolina has a "custom" that permits such men to be returned here, and advises their early retire ment, and adduces the fact that, this ignorant shortsightedness on the part of our people accounts for the failure of the State to receive ,more chairmanships in the present Cong ress. I began to feel sad on reading the article, to think that the poor old State had blundered so badlyi but the more I reflected the more relieved I became. I reflected that the article excepted Mr. Henderson, and Johnston, and that Mr. Simmons was given the credit of promising t be a valuable member.though the Republi cans in his district were, warned not to split again, and later in the article by indirection he is accused of psing "the arts of a demagogue," "palling political wires," and "making ;om- binations" for his own advancement. I reflected, that while the article! was aimed at Maj. McClammy, Col. Row land, Maj. Latham and Col. Cpwles, each had some extenuating circum stances for being herej that in the third district the good and true Dem ocrats said by a majority of g,472 that Maj. McClammy, who hadjlong labored for the party without the hope of reward, who was born and reared among the people who know him and love him, was competent to represent them; that in the sixth dis- trict, one oi tne Desi ana truest ui the United States, every county gave liberally to swell the 8,602 majority that sent the true, tried and honored son of Robeson to reflect credit is he does upon such an intelligent con stituency, carrying as he did his own county (which is a doubtful county) by twenty-four hundred majority; that the first district, which had hon ored Maj. Latham before, saw irfhim sterling qualities enough to cal. f him again to the front by 2,855 maj rity; and that in the eighth district, w'..o6e Democracy is as sound as its owna ug ged mountains, for the second timij the people selected the man whomiMr. Carlisle saw fit to make a chairman to serve them faithfully ! as he has always done. Again I reflected that the House has been in session now ipDly forty business day8, and that the'eor respondent was a little hasty in sum mini? ud the services of our new mem bers for the Fiftieth Congress; -that I the Record will show the people in ! North Carolina the facts as to what our members are doig. ; Still again, I reflected that in the 48 ch Congress North Carolina had only two chair manships, and in this she has one and a place on the judiciary committee, which is regarded as equal td-,the chairmanship of any minor commit tee, and that a certain member cjuld have had a chairmanship had he so elected. And I wondered if the correspond ent was really a Republican, or was he ono who would write for either side, even to aiding a negro candidate in the black district. s After these reflections I felt bet ter, and actually realized the fact that North Carolina had a delegation of which she might well be proud, for I endorsed what was said about Mr. Henderson and Capt Johnston, Ind that her influence on the floor of the House is equal to that of any other State in this broad Union. It is a consolation, too,to know that the good people of North Carolina know this fact as well as anybody else. A Recent Tab Hmj.
