Our town was favored with the novelty of a genuine "Btrike" yester day iuornicg. It was the water works force, a equad of about fifteen negro laborers. The men were at work dig ging the mammoth well just out of towp, and had been getting 75 cents per Bay, the usual pay of common la borers here-.. As the weather was at the freezing point yesterday and the heavy raics of Sunday had partially filleel th bole with wa'er, and the mud niacin it rather an ugly job to tackle with the mercury at 25 de greqis they demanded $1.00 per day. This wbs refused and the work was stopped and is now at a standstill. Othr laboiers may be secured Ihere, but it is net at all likely. There Ss-erpB to be somo antagonism be tweeu tho Water Works Company and i labor orinmization. A threat of bringing Irish or Italian labor in baa been hinted, aud a counter-threat oi running such off if it is attempted. A fw mora days will probably show up .the true titatua of our first- strike. The contractors of the job have bought a vacant lo- near the R. & D. depot, about 200 feet from the traCk, at the intersection with South Elm street, whereon to erect a stand pipe, and are advertising for building material- The tower is to be 100 feet high and 30 feet in diameter. Greensboro is again on the move for a military company. A new edi tion) of the famous old "Guilford Grays" wa organized hero some ten years ago. The company was offi cered and fully equipped, but the roll of names was hardly up to the requi site standard; in fact, there was not sufficient material in the place to keep up a full organization, and after a few yearn it was disbanded. All effort was made last year to re organize, which did not result in suc cess. There is more material here nowj as the boys have been growing very, fast of late, and the town is nearly twice as large as it was ten years ago. ; The negro Pleas. Martin, who cut bis wife's throat last Tuesday, seems to have made good his escape, as the officers have not been able to come up with him and there is no news of his whereabouts. : His wife still lives in spite of the ghastly wound, and is in fair way to recover, : The West End Club, in accordance with its previously announced pro gramme, favored a packed audience with a really first class and highly meritorious entertainment in the Conrt House on las Friday night. Ourtown may well eel proud of its musical talent. Arorchestra of pi ano,jcornet, flute, bass-viol and three iolihs in skillful hands, made up the instrumental part, and Mrs. Haywood Alderman, the Iwly manager, assisted bv ten vouner ladies. suoDlemented by ten.male basso and tenor voices, ail together presented an array and furnished a treat which entirely cap tivated the large audience. Many of jour foiks were simply astonished, and the storm of applause which greeted some of the performers at tested tl eir appreciation. At the close of "part first" Col. J. T. Morehead was called on for some "remarks." He offered a few in very happy vein, and after sending a few ripples of laughter through the crowd told as that the ladies of the West End Club contemplated raising $5,000 to eslablirh a city hospital; that the present was only the initial concert; that others are to follow about month ly; that already two gentlemen had pledged &100 each to the enterprise, exhorted the audience to stand faith fully by them to the end, &c The concert- netted f 62. Revival services are now coiner on in three oi our churches. The interest in Centenary Methodist continues, also' the Baptist, from last week, and Rev.

He reached New York yesterday. His left side and head are cut, hia right leg bruised and he is otherwise injured. Ho was in the sleeping car Aberdeen which the At lantic engine crashed into. Mrs Bell, of California, on her way to Europe, was wedged between the peats and the side of the car. She was extri cated with great difficulty. Both her legs were broken, each in three places. Five other passenger were injured, but not seriously. "Sick and Tired of Work." By Telegraph to the News and Observer. Council Bluff3, la., March 14 All of the switch engines of the Union Pacific road doing work in the Council Bluffs yard were quietly taken to the round-house last night and this morning by the engineers in charge.; When asked their reasons for quitting work they replied they were sick and tired of work. It is under stood they gave these reasons on ac count of Judge Dundy's decision, but it was very noticeable how sudden an engineer became sick or tired when he saw a "Q'1 cy coupled up behind his eiigine. ; A the passenger and dummy trains arfe running as usual. the keeper of Broad river bridge, two miles from this city, has -the whole community. t The crime, or rather series oi crimes, took place ounday nigni, oui the full extent of the crime did not come out until aionaay, wnen iu body of John B. Fenton, the negro watchman employed about the Driage was found in a field near the road, a broken Winchester rifle by his side, beinr the -weapon which had caused his d.iath, his ?kull having been com pleteih crushed in by a blow with the butt. The rifle is one belonging to the toll-house and must have been taken therefrom. Sunday nijiht about 7.30 o'clock as Mr. "Doc" Kraft, of this city, was coming down the track of the Colum bia it Greenville railroad with his gun and dogs he taw that, tho house of Mr- Adam Buff, The keeper, was on fire. Kraft at once rushed to the spot, and; as he reached the front porch mot Mr. Buff, who staggered out of the door, literally bathed in blood, which streamed from wounds on his head. Mr. Kraft then gave his attention to the fire, which had been set in four places, including a feather bed, which had been ; torn open and live coals from the fire thrown in. With water from the well he succeeded in extin guish'ng the flames. From the story of M's.'Buff, who, as it will be ceen ater, had a iuuow escape from death or wjrse, tho louowing particulars have been obtained. A little after sundown, while Mr. Buff was pn his front porch, a negro, whom he knew as Brown, came up and l)"gan telling a story about los ing an ox, and intending to cross the river in search of the animal. He pretended to feel in his pockets for his money and all of a sudden struck Mr. Buff a terrible blow on the left temnle with a bier hickory stick he had in his hand. Jumnin&r over the prostrate form of the insensible bridgekeeper, the black ruffian entered the house. Mrs. Buff, who had heard with horror the assault outside, tried to escape, but he caught her, felled her to the floor with a blow and then brutally stamped on her, and then, doubtless supposing she was done for, went back into the front room and commenced rining ine drawers'. : As soon as she could gain strength she slipped out of the rear door and ran as fast as she was able three quarters of a mile, and reaching the gate of the residence of , Mrs. J. N. Huffman, sank there exhausted after screaming for help. Her cries aronsed the inmates. She was taken in and cared for and is today abed in a critical state. Mr. Buffs injuries consist of three wonr.d8 on the head, inflicted by a club. One blow cut the left tempo ral artery and caused much Iobb of blood, and today, though conscious, his condition is serious. f Fentori, the colored man found dead. had. since last fall, been in charge Of the farm near the bridge, and acted as watchman to protect the aged couple who took the tolls. How be met his death is a mvsterv. Some incline to the belief that he was concerned in the robbery, and was killed by his com pan ions to prevent him from "peach ihg." Others think he was going to the rescue when met by the robbers and by them killed. The robbers secured only about $16, failing to find two sacks of sil- vcr mq- aoove tne winoow casing which contained about 8270. Mr Buff, when he thought he was dying called Mr. Kraft to his side and bade him put' down on paper the names of those ho thought committed the crime. These names were Brown, John Fanton and Wm. Johnson. Johnson has been arrested. DETAILS OF THE WI4TI1EH SCFFEBINO MODESATISO OTHER AC. Tnt NEWS. 1 WORTH 40c Atili THE- NEW SHAPES in ladieV and misses' HATS. A sew line of.

This has been a leautifully clear day though the wind has been blow ing a gale from the northwest. It has been quite cool since the rain and wind-storm of Sunday.

A Western Union Dividend. New York, Mai ch 14. The Western Union directors have declared a quar terly dividend of 1 per cent. A St. Louis man is having a novel craft constructed at a Jeffersonville, Ind., ship-yard. It is to be a floating theatre, and will cost about $50,000. The boat is to be built in the shape of a house, with flat bottom, and it is to be finished up with an elegant stage, boxes and all the belongings of a first-class theatre. It is the in tention of the proprietor to float his theatre all along the Ohio and Mis sissippi riverp, and to give first class dramatic and musical entertainments at the ports in various cities during the summer mouths, , when all the theatres are closed. The District t'ongTcsslonal Convention. Cor. of ihe News audjjserver. PiTTSDOBO, N. C, March 13. It occurs to me that we ought to hold ouii Congressional District Con vention for the fourth district, at Ral eigh, the day before the State Con vention according to old time precedent- We departed from it last time and our experience is not pleasant to contempla e. If we need along cam paign in national affairs and on State politics, where will you find a district which we expect and desire to carry, in which we will need a longer cam paign? r If we hold our convention when, wpuld-be governors and judges and other deserving Democrats are claiming a share of public attention, we are much less likely to get into factional fights, and the probabilities of a good nomination are greatly in creased. If you agree with me, join in urging an immediate call for the Congressional Convention. T. B. Womack. Nbw York, March 14 The sun shines brightly this morning and the weather is moderating. Travel on the elevated roads is fully restored but the surface roads are still impas sable. There is still no improvement in the condition of the telegraph wires. The South and East are still entirely cu: off and there is little if any communication with the East. The meagre reports received show that the people living in New Jersey towns who started for New York Monday had a dreadful experience. Many trains wero snowed in a few miles from the city and the passen gers were compelled to sleep on them or wade through tho snow to look for shelter in the villages. A number of persona, It is assoi ted, perished from cold nnd exhaustion. At Elizabeth port twelve employees of Singer's Machine Works started for their homes. Several weio badly frozen. SNOW FAL IXO HEAVILY AGAIN IN PHILA DELPHIA. Philadelphia, March 14. Snow is again falling heavily here this after noon, but the temperature is edly warmer and the snow melts fast as it falls. Tho situation so far as the railroads are concerned is much more hopt-ful. Pennsylvania railroad officials report their main line to the west open through, buk that the New York division is yet closed, with no prospect of getting trains either to or from that city today. The Chicago limited express which at other times is started from New York was made up here and left for the west shortly af er noon. The fast express for the west left about half an hour la ter and, in addition to those for the further points, also carried passen gers lor the longer way stations Travel has also been opened with the South, and trains arrived from and departed for Baltimore and Wash ington during the forenoon. The situation on the other lines centering here is also improved, and with a con tinuance of moderate weather the om oials believe that travel can be re sumed to all points by tonight or to morrow. ; Telegraph communication with New York, Baltimore and Wash ington is still interrupted, and the only route to reach these points is by way of Cincinnati and Pittsburg ever very precarious wires. Keadins, ira., March 14. Ihe Reading road south of here has been blockaded since bunday nignt. r n teen trains are now snow-bound be tween here and Bridgeport, but it is expected they will be released to night. TBS CTOBM APPARENTLY OVEB. Washington, D. C , March 14. The torm in this vicinity seems to be over. The sun shone brightly all day. The temperature is rising, the wind dying out and the snow melting rapidly. The telegraph service South is all that could be desired and the situa tion is improving as far as the West ern service is concerned, but Phila delphia and New York are still cut off, and when communication will be restored is a matter of great uncer tainty. It is belived, however, that a week will elapse before' the lines to New York can be fully restored. The mails from Philadelphia are coming in slowly. The papers of Tuesday morning were received here today, but no New York journals have reached this city since Sunday last. THE 8TOBM CONTINUES. Albany, March 14. The s orm con tinued here with unabated fury until early this morning. No session of the legislature was held yesterday.

Democrat for a .college education was not thrown away. In describing the burning of Mr. Wilson's smokehouse, in spite of the efforts of the bucket-brigade, he says : "The water seemed to spur the fire to wilder deeds. The flames and the smoke climbed and rolled higher and higher, and' the Bceue became luridly, awfully magnificent beyond tottering words1 power to paint. It was a can to of Dante's "Inferno," acted in all its fiery pomp and splendor. Ban ners of flame would now bo waved out by dark smoke-hands, then ten million curling little pennons of firo would hiss and flutter, then vanish, and a great reeling tower of smoke, whose darkness was stabbed and spangled with flame and sparks, would fill the scene, while all arpund the surround ing buildings grimly shot back from reflecting surf aces a crimson greeting, and up in the far-off sky the out-glis tened stars turned pale for shame, and the moon, through the drifted smoke, glowed like a bowl of blood." It pays to give a boy a good -education when you want to make an editor of him. The Bix-day four-hours-a-day bi cycle race closed in Philadelphia Sat urday night with the best record (400 miles) beaten by four of the con t stants. The scores were: Crocker, 405J miles; Knapp, 405i miles; Ash- mger, 404 miles; ' Rhoadea, 403 5 G miles; Dingley, 376 miles. The statement of Congressman Dingley that during his seven years' residence at Washington ha has never seen a Congressman under the innu ence of liquor is very pleasant infor mation, though , somewhat of a sur- l prise.

He told the people that New Berne was glad to welcome the Chief Mag isirateoftho State, coming on such a mission; that the citizens of all sec tions had met around the knees of the venerable mother of North Caro lina t-iviiizition, and that the very soli o-.-is had been suspended and the school buildings given up to the use of the fnir.

After compliment ing the Governor for his love of country and enterprise in lending his official presence to the occasion, he formally presented him 'o the aud ence. THE GOVERNOR spoke for about fifteen minutes. Ho said he congratulated himself upon his good fortune in being presen among so clever a people, and the citizens of New Berne upon their en terpnse in getting up this display the resources of their sounds, bays and rivers. He said statistics showed that the oyster area covered one mil lion acres in North ; Carolina. He showed in figures taken from the sur vey of the oyster grounds of the State the possibilities of oyster cul ture properly managed. He spok patriotically ci tee great men New Berne had produced and of tne naiiowed nistorical memories that cluster around her name. Her galaxy of great men, said he, ws,full of tho best, purest and brightest s ars that ever illumined the diadem of any country. ' He said the time was com ing when the tido of immigration now setting westward would turn to East ern Carolina. He spoke of the climate,- tho fertile soil and the many other advantages this section of the Stafe offers to the man of pluck and energy, and thanked God that he was the Governor of euchaS'ate) andpeo p'e. He alluded to the surplus in tho United States Treasury, and said it was a proof of the country's pros perity. He compared the prosperity of the North with that of the South, showing that the South is not much behind her Northern sister when everything is counted. His peroia tion was a most patriotic appeal to the so ns of North Carolina to stand true to their mother State, and to forever defend her." The Governor's remarks were lis tened to very attentively and often applauded. After the close of his speech, Gov. Scales received the troops on the Fair grounds. He says the drilling or tne uavia LUJota svas very good The boys are soldierly-looking and exceedingly gentlemanly in their de portment. Ihe Governor s Guard, under the command of Capt. Harrell, were the subject of tho most favor able comment. They will always hold a warm place in tho hearts of the New-Bernians. The troops returned home this evening. There are over 2,000 entries already and the Fair is a perfect success, financially and otherwise. Col. George Allen, the President, is a most un tiring worker, and with his staff of co-workers would succeed in almost any undertaking. The display of fish and game is the finest and largest evor exhibited in this or any other State- Every kind of bird and fish, from the smallest to the largest that flies or swims in the State, is on exhibition, including live porpoise about nine feet long.

Mooresville, N. C, March 14. Patton Beckham, colored, was found dead on the morning of the 13th on Depu y Sheriff W hite s plantation, in Davidson township about seven miles west of Mooresville, near Ca tawba river. Beckham was with a rowdy crowd, drinking and fighting the night before r.n body was found horribly mangled. Dm.

Cor oner Anderson and a jury of six held n inquest to day and rendered a vprdict charging V. Nance and two sons, John and WilhJ with the murder. T Nance was formerly rom TaylorsJ ville, N.

Tho sheriff was gathering up the coroner s jury, lhey will hold a pre liminary tual at luylorBVille this evening before Commissioner Vogle. Sheriff White has telegraphed to have Nance delivered at btatesville jail at onco. If tho commissioner commits him tv; a United Spates prisoner no doubt but what ho will then will find which court has the first whack at him, the State or the United States. These three will make seven persons in Iredell jail charged with murder. The Nance family has recently moved on Mr. White's place, and are pronounced the worst characters that he ever dealt with. The most remarkable thing about the deceased is that he was naturally as spotted as a leopard, white and black. Beckham was con sidered a very useful negro, being one of the best blacksmiths iu the county, and was located at Mt. Mourne, three miles south of this place, on the A. T. & O. R. R.

Winston, N- C , March 12. In a very sensible article in' your Sunday issue, in reference to the ee tablishment of small industries in the city of Raleigh is a reference to the successful operation at this place of I. Leopold & Co.'a big cigar factory. The reference is all right, merited and true, in its main points, but incorrect as to one fact, and that is where your writer refers to Mr. Leopold s using only North Carolina tobacco, in the manufacture of his eigars. Mr. Leo pold tells me that he does not use any North Carolina leaf in his cigars, but on the contrary, Cuban tobaeco, Sum atra and Connecticut leaf enters al most exclusively into Ihe. manufac ture of bis goods. North Carolina tobacco cannot be excelled for; ciga rette smoking and plug tibncos, but tobacco grown in North .Caro lina does not possess those peculiar qualities that constitute cigar tobac co. Consequently our North Caro lina tobaccos are never uted for ci gars, as cigars made from our tobacco could not be smoked with any degree of pleasure. Iu this connection I will say that you are on the rign,t track as to the establishment in our State of small industries. Cotton and tobacco factories are good and do a grand work in developing and build ing up our country, but there are hundreds of articles that are scarcely even thought of that can be manufac tured in the South as well if not bet ter ihan in tho North and East. It is well for people who contemplate the establishment of such industries to visit the North and the New Eng land States. I should think there was a good opening in Raleigh for a big cigar factory. Rev. Mr. Brown preached an excellent sermon yesterday to the members of the Winston fire depart ment. Winston has a splendid fire organization, and so has Salem, and Salem fights Winston fires with as much zeal as our own company. Both organizations are well-equipped and do considerable good. A fire broke out in one of the jail cells last Saturday night, and for a while there was considerable excite ment, especially among the inmates, but by the time the; fire organization arrived on the ground, the fire, which was a very small one, had been ex tinguished. A literary society; has been organ ized here with a large membership of earnest workers. The first meeting was held at the residence of Col. A. B. Gorrell on last Friday evening.
