It has Eschewed the smoothe, undeco rated jloth which was its pride last year and covered itself with braiding. It is braided and embroidered until it wearies its eje to try to trace the involved and endlessly complex, laby- rintane patterns. It has not a square inch of iplain surface on the whole garment. When it does not run to braid it flies off on another tangent, the yeet and cutaway pattern. In such cases the vest is light colored, vpryii possibly white, dotted with sfnalf figures in black or blue, and the jaoket is plain and in some dark, contracting shade. Spring ulsters, newmarketa and long wraps have snccdmbed to be the braid fever also. They have renounced checks and stripes, and are made of plain Killar npy cldth, in brown, blue, crimson and green. -Sometimes they have deep cape collars and open sleeves. I At the West Point Military Academy a few weeks ago, Caiet Da vis made war in the mess-room on his superior officer, Lieut. Kirby, by bombarding him during an unguard ed moment with an immense baked potato, The offense was, of course, a severe infraction of military disci pline. The accused pleaded guilty td the charge, which was embraced in the;: two specifications, "striking hia superior officer" And conduct un becoming a cadet and a gentleman." The cOurt sentenced the cadet to dis missal (ram. the service, When the findings and proceedings came be fore President Cleveland for his ap proval ne mitigated the sentence of the court, xoung Davis previous career $ras without a blemish, and his banding in his class was excellent. The President, in view of this, di rected that the -young potato-hurler be deprived of ail privileges during the coining summer and be kept a prisoner within the police limits of the summer encampment. This sen tence compels Cadet Davis to forfeit bis throe months' summer vacation.

B$TOiri: TH1 KXaCH Or HUM IS LAW butCB 07 HIS ESTKBPBISISO CABSKS. ? ! V. BaltBiUt Jacbb Sharp died at his late resi dence in New York city Thursday morning. He was born in Montgom ery county, New York, July 6, 1817 Before he was of age his father died and young Jacob went to New York to seek his fortune. He began busi ness in. a modest way by contracting to furnish timber.and logs to build ers, ana soon proceeaea to aeai on ha otyn account. The building of piers .and bulkheads along East and North 'rivers laid the foundation of hia wealth, and he was not Blow m reacntng out into speculative lm- provment ventures. His hrst suc cessful venture in street railroading, with Which he has been identified all his lifei. since, was the construction of the East River and Dry Dock Kail road .; This was followed with the Christopher and Tenth Street, the Bleecker Street, the Twenty-third street,: the Broadway and Seventh Avenue, and finally his pet scheme of thirty ryeans, and the source of his misery; the Broadway Surface Bail road. It was away back in the fifties that Jacob Sharp first contemplated the grabbing of Broadway. Again and again he secured his franchise from , the Legislature and alder men, which invariably was vetoed by the mayors then in office. At last a hill Was adopted in 1884 and signed by the.Governor. Sharp approached the ntw notorious board of "boodle" aldermen in 1884. In May of that year eight members held a caucus arid agreed to grant the franchise and to find thirteen members to override the mayor's veto. The franchise was passed according to agreement.; On aune 19, 1885, Jacob Sharp rode down ; Broad way to the Battery on the first car. Rumors of corruption were rife, and a lease of the Broad- Way line to the Seventh Avenue rail road for 999 years precipitated legal inquiry, tie was arrested and bailed Out in October, 1886. The trial be- tan April 2R, 1887. It took nearly i ve weeks and exhausted neaily 1,800 talestaen to fill the jury box. On June 29 Sharp was found guilty of bribe-giving, with a recommendation of mercy from the jury. He was sen- tenced on juiy 14 to iour years oi imprisonment and to the payment of hue of $5,000. An appeal was then taken, and on November 29 the Court Of Appeals granted the application or a new trial. CONGRESS. PROCEEDINGS YESTERDAY IN SENATE AND HOU3E. WHOLESALE PEJtoION BILLS PASSED IN THE GK5ATJ MB HANSOM'S BRIDGE BILL PASSED. By Tclefciaph to the News and Observer. Washing ros, . April 6 Senate A message irora tne President wita a draft of a bill for a revocation of the withdrawal of landi for the benefit of certain; railroads was presented and referred: to the committee on public lands. ; Oa motion it wa3 ordered that when the Senate adjourns today it be till Monday. Mr. Riddleberger offered a preamble and resolution on the subject of the territory reported as recently acquir ed by Great Britain from Venezula and calling on tbe President for copies of the letters,1 documents, &c, in any way appertaining thereto, or request ing him to have such other and further action as may be compatible with th public interest.. . Referred to the committee on foreign relations. The Senate then proceeded to the consideration ;of the private pension bills on i he 'calendar. Among the pension bills passed wa3 one giving a pension of $25 a month to Dr. Mary E. Walker, as : "late assistant of the United States Army one giving a pension of $600 a year to the widow of Gen. Chaa. P. Stone; one to in crease the pension of (he oldest revo lutionary pensioner on the rolls, Nancy rains, 9G years of age, from $8 a month to an amount not fixed, bat left to the Secretary cf the Interior; one giving a pension of $50 a month to the widow of Rear Admiral Nich olson; one giving a pension of $100 a month to the widow of Gen. Judson Kilpatrick; one of $100 a month to the widow of Gen. Robert Anderson; one pensioning soldiers' "foster mothers;" one giving a pension of $50 a month to the widow of Brigadier General Taylor; ono cf $50 to the widow of commander W. Gibson, and one of $50 a month to the widow of Medical Inspector Dsn by of the Navy. Although there were 127 bills passed in less than an hour and a half. Sixty-five of the bills were House bills.; One. cf the lat ter contained the clause, "This act shall bee in force from and after its approval by the president. On motion of Mr. Ransom the Sen ate bill authorizing the construction of bridges across the Cape Fear, Black and North East rivers in North Carolina was passed. The Senate then at 2 o'clock re sumed consideration o? the bill for a bureau of animal industry to facili tate the exportation of live stock and their products and to extirpate con tagious pleuropneumonia. AH the amendmen'B recommended by the committee on agriculture had been agreed to pro firm so as to allow the committed; to shape the bill aa U ( tVirtriLrM. ht . Tlf Hiscock made a speech in opposition to the bill. ' He regarded as unconstitutional the clause author izing the board of comm ssioners to appoint offitjere, arguing that such appointments could only be mds by beads of departments, and he also re garded as unconstitutional the right of search conferred upon these offi cials. Mr. Coke moved that its further consideration be postponed till Thurs day and made a special order, and that in the; meantime the bill as amended be printed. Mr. I rye sent to the clerk s desk and had read a letter from Mr. Bur leigh (whom he spoke of as one of the most experienced cattle. raisers in Maine), noting defects in the bill as not providing for the case of tuberco- losis, a dreaded and incurable disease, which caused (through infected milk) the death of 50,000 children in the large cities ; o' America, or for the case of glanders in horses. Mr. ifrye moved to amend the bill by mentioning those two diseases, and the amendments were accepted by Mr. Palmer,; who has charge of the bill. f Mr. Coke's motion was then agreed to and the bill was made the special order for Thursday next. The bill to provide for the admis sion of the State of Dakota into the Union an 1 for the organization of the Territory of Lincoln was then taken up and it took its placa as "unfinished business." The House bills for public build ings at Greenville, S. C, and at Tex arkana, Ark , each $100,000, were taken up and passed. Executive session. Adjourned. ? 110 USE. The House this morning, at 11.45, entered upon the fourth day of its contest over the direct tax bill, the legislative day of Wednesday still continuing, i Mr. Reed, of Ma ne, immediately demanded the regular order, which the Speaker stated to be a vote on the motion that when the House adjourn today it be to beet Saturday next. Mr. Oates, of Alabama, in behalf of the opponents of the bill, proposed that they be allowed two hours foi general debate, leaving the question of negotiation : as to future stages of the bill to be settled when those stages were reached. Mr. E. B. Taylor, of Ohio, said that the friends of the bill only asked the assurance of a final vote at the proper time. Any arrangement that in cluded that would be acceptable to them, fcut any proposition which did not include it would not be nc eepted. Mr. Oates replied that such a proposition as that suggested by the gentleman would commit, those who opposed the bill to its final pas sage, without regard to whether any amendments were adopted or not. Mr. Taylor said that that was not his in tention. Abundant opportunity wold be given for amendment and discus sion of amendments, bat to say that the bill would only be allowed to ad vance one step was nonsense and such a proposition could not be accepted. Mr. Oates retorted that the gentle man's proposition was one to tie the enemies of the bill. It was a bull- dozing process. Mr. Reed inquired whether the gentleman was not pining for a cotton tax amendment. "When we proceed in a regular way you will see," replied Mr. Oates. "Everybody can see it now," was Mr. Reed's retort amid shouts for the regular order. Mr. Reed said that he wished the gentleman to under stand distinctly that the friends of the bill were willing to allow anytime for debate that could be desired by a reasonable man. All they wanted was an arrangement by which, after debate and the offering of amend ments, a final vote could be taken. Mr. Oates : "Why do you ask us bo commit ourselves ?" Mr. Reed : "Because your conduct is Buch that it is necessary you should commit yourselves." Mr. Oates : "You asked it before you saw any such conduct. You want to put us in a position where you can vote down with impunity every amendment." So the effort at compromise failed, the usual filibustering motions were again submitted and the usual round of roll calls began. The situation in the House is un changed, and there are no present frospects of breaking of the dead ock. Both" sides are doggedly de termined to keep up the fight and it is threatened that the House will be kept in continuous session without any recess being taken until the ques tion is settled either by compromise or by one party surrendering un conditionally its position. There is some discussion as to what effect the present action of tho house in consuming time in repeated roll-calls will have upon the consideration of the tariff bills, and there is an apprehension felt by some gentlemen that if dilatory tactics are continued-for a few days longer, the necessary consideration of appropria tion bills will delay, until a later day than that now fixed, the discussion of tho Mils bill. Roll-call followed roll-call until 3 o'clock, when the absence of a quo rum was developed, aud a call of the Hou?e was ordered. The over-worked reading clerks were then given a much needed rest, whiie the Sergeant at Arms started on a quest for ab sentees. The first victims of his zeal were Messrs. White, of New York, Man son, of Missouri, and Ermentrout, of Pennsylvania, who gave reasonable and satisfactory excuses, but were badly guyed by their colleagues, much to the amusement of the gal leries. Messrs. Seney and Foran, of Ohio, were the next prisoners brought to the bar, and they were excused, although the statement of Mr. Foran that he had been absent Retting some thing to eat was received wi'h expres sions of incredulity by members who believed that lie had inadvertently made use of the verb "to eat." At 5:30 the House took a recess until 11:30 to morrow. Southern Press Association. New Orleans, April C.

The National Zeitung says that renewed efforts to obtain the consent of the Emperor to the marriage of his daughter, the Princess Victoria, to Prince Alexan der of Battenberg have not been suc cessful. For this reason there are no longer any grounds for the secret conflict between Bismarck and the Emperor and therefore there is no question of Bismarck resigning. Washington lYotea.

The communication in your issue of this morning signed "Lavyer" contained some irresistible facts. The lawyers have ever been and will con tinue to be the leading element in all political parties. This is so natur ally. They are more learned and are trained in public speaking and in all our conventions as well as on the campaign ground their voice is gen erally heard- They do good service in every campaign, and it should not be a matter of surprise that when the spoils of the battle are to be divided out they are usually on hand too. Ho fair-minded man will object to that either,; and the history of this State shows that tbe good people who have done the voting have al ways been willing to give to the law yers the lion s share of the offices. There has never been a time in my recollection; when a majority of those u..u.Dw. -j-wes vera not law yers. Nobody WVfejrf r yA- that they were nofjjftled to every thing and anythLsgffiey wanted un til very recently. But lately the voters have concluded that there is no good reason why the speakers should have all the best positions for ever, especially ; when they see in their own ranks men fully qualified for the first position. There is no "hue and cry" against law yers, but there if a demand, strong and determined, that the producers of this land shall have a share of the very highest positions and the best paying positions to be filled. They do not want all the good places, and they do not waut places for which they have not proper qualifications, but they are going to insist on a share of the hest. They are not go ing to make any threats like "Law yer" gives: expression to. He inti mates that he and his will fold their hands (like some of them have done in the past) and take; no part if they are not allowed to ; have what they want. Suppose the poor farmers and wOrkiDgmen who compose the rank and file of our party had ever "step ped aside" to see how the battle would go; where viould it have gone f All the speaking in Christendom could not have sated it. Yout"fif ty thousand" would be nowhere, man ! Don't talk that way. We want no threats, no intimations of what "we" will do. Let us rather try to see the riht thing and do it. Lies us all recognize the fact that '.he great producing element de serve something, something great, too, and let us give, them one time some proper recognition of their long service to the Democratic party. The farmers of this State are ask ing now for a "farmer Governor They want also a farmer auditor. Can any good reason be shown why they should not have Alexander and Sanderlin, men capable of filling any position within our gift, the model farmers of the Old North State. appeal to "Lawyer" if this request on the part of this great army of voters is not a very modest one. Respectfully, Not a Lawtbb . Henderson Kotes. Cor. News and Observer. Hendebson, ;N- C, April 5. Mrs. W. T. Cheatham, wife of Dr. W. T. Cheatham, died at her home in town yesterday morning at 9.20 o'clock. She had been an invalid for about five years and grew suddenly worse some weeks age, and therefore the end was not unexpected. She was buried in the cemetery this even ing at 3 p clock, Rev. J. D.

She has gone to that land where "there is perpetual spring," "where anthems of rapture unceasingly roll," to that home which God for hia eaints has prepared. : R W. B.

Wm. H. Gib son, of Long Island City, on behalf of the holders of $210,000 of the "ten share bonds " of the Western North Carolina Railroad Company has brought suit in the United States Court against tha Richmond & Dan ville Railroad Company. The latter company leased the Western N. C. road, agreeing to pay semi-annual dividends on its stock, most of which is held by the State of North Caro lina. The complaint alleges that the interest has never been paid. He de mands that an injunction be granted restraining the lessees from farther receiving the earnings of the Western North Carolina Railroad and prays for the appointment of a receiver for its stock. i Reinstated. New Yobx, April 6 The Board of managers of the cotton exchange to day reinstated Wm. V. King, John H. Garretson and Geo. R.

A splendid audience was at Metro politan Hall last night to witness the presentation of the operetta. "Rebel lion cf the Dais 6s." It was one of the successes usually achieved by Raleigh talent, and in this case under the supervision of Mrs. J. B. Shipp, was, for ametuerB perfect. The opening scene presented more than fifty young people representing a meadow field of daisies in rebellion againt the sunflower court. Some excellent choruses and pretty drill figures were; presented by them. A very beautiful feature was the waving and bending of the daisies before an imaginary brisk summer breeze, with soft Z6phyr-like music. The leading characters were haD- pily chosen: Mr. Robert Grissom was majestic as the Sunflower King. His royal consort, Miss Eliza Skinner, was a queen in graceful movement and appearance. Mr. Thoa. Badger, Jr., King of the Daises, was a success. Miss Mary Snow, as the Daisy Queen. reached the hearts and sympathies of the audience. In a solo imploring mercy from the Sunflower Court, her rich, soft and sweet voice scored a victory over everything. This was her first appearance in a company of home talent, bat she is now a general favorite and pet. Master Sam. Ashe was the Daisy General aud mustered and drilled his Daisy Brigade in true military style. The irrepressible Bob Crow was a . farmer who was induced by the Sunflower Court and the botanist Mr. Henry Litch ford to promise to cut the da ses dowr, thereby creating the greatest consternation and rebe lion among them. Mr. Walter Qrimes, as chief and advisary pol ca sustained the character in its highest conception. Bliss Flora Creech was the Daisy Lieutenant and led the forces in beautiful and g aceful rhythmic time and motion. showing ten love sick maidens, who rendered splendid choruses. The maidens were esthetic in taste, and wore very handsome costumes. Among them was noted one of pink silk classical Greek style en train with a number of natural calls lilies tastily bestowed on the front. Others were beautifully orna mented with pea-fow'e plum age, rare leaves, etc. One presented a large white stork on a front of black velvet. The aesthetic maidens were Misses M. Marshall. M. Badger, C. Murray, H. Creech, M. Fuller, "M. Busbee, M. Williams, K. filacMackin, Nora King, M. Miller, and Annie Simpson. Mr. J as. Anderson presented the character of Oscar Wilde in style in imetably pleasing and amusing and showed the greatest wisdom in fall ing in love witn "iratience who was M as Helen McYea and in appear ance she was a poem, and in sustain ing the character of Patience sweet perfection. "OBcar Wilde" was only one of nve hundred who fell in love with her during the evening. Among the beautiful and graceful attendants of the sunflower court were Misses Katie Poe and Pattie Gee. mi I 'll i i xne police anil ana cnorus was a pleasing feature of the entertainment. Messrs. J. N. Holding, T. A. Partin, F. B. Arendell, T. P. Jerman, W. H. Bain, W. W. Newman, H. L. Thomas, J. C. Norris and D.'ck Merrimon com posed the force. They wore full po lice uniforms decked with sunflowers and made a fine appearance. The singing, led by Messrs. Norris, Aren dell and Holding, won a hearty encore and the local bits by Mr. Arendell wre loudly applauded. The entertainment was given for the benefit of the Edenton Street M. m. (Jhurch organ fund. The gross receipts approximated $250. Edenton Street Church is to be congratulated upon the success which is attending its eflorts to purchase a new organ. The congregation is one of the most zealous and progressive of the city and under the pastorate of the Rev.

ANOTHER HITCH IN THE CASE OEfR BOODLERS AT TORONTO. thi tbi an pasties raxviNT a prompt SITTLEXE3T A CBCI8ION LOOKED TOB TOO AT. BpeelaUo the News and Observer. Tobo!to, OnL, April 6. Another hitch in the White-Cross case will necessarily cause a detention of the prisoners here for another day at least. Everything pointed to a set tlement this uiorning, but at the last moment Mr. Hardy, the Norfolk bank representative, baulked and demand ed his portion of the stolen money. When the case came up in court this morning Mr. Bigelow, for the prison ers, said that hfc clients had consent ed to return to Raleigh as if extra dited and ; stand their trial on the three charges of forgery already tele graphed. They would go back vol untarily in the custody of Heartt and were willing that the $24,114 found on them should be transferred to the custody of the North Carolina banks, where the fight for its possession could be renewed. Mr. Worrell, for the Noifolk bank, asked for a remand, as he intended to force on the case of bringing sto len money into Canada. The magis trate intimated that he would prefer that the case should be taken down to Raleigh and settled there. He pointed out that it did not give other claimants a fair chance to press their claims. Mr. Worrell; pressed his ap plication for a reasonable opportunity to bring witnesses here from the South to substantiate charges. The magistrate thought the propo sition of Mr. Bigelow a fair one and should be accepted, for he should require exceedingly strong evidence, and in all probability he would not make an order for the restitution of the money but would refer the ease to the civil courts for adjustment- It was far better to have the money sent back. Mr. BadgerowV County Crown Attorney, advised a settlement on the terms proposed by Mr. Bigelow, as he un derstood that the civil practice here was to refer disputes of this kind to the courts. : H believed the courts would remit the case to Rileigh for settlement. ! Mr. Busbee was permitted to be heard and Baid he would be auite willing that the money in possession of the courts should be expressed to xiaieign to his credit : as receiver of the wrecked bank and also to the joint credit of some other respon sible resident of I Raleigh to be named by Mr. Hardy, to await the order of the court. Mr. Wor rell then asked for an adjournment till tomorrow to allow him opportu nity to consult with his clients by wire, when he hoped to be in a posi tion to accept Mr. Bigelow's terms. in the event of a satisfactory an swer being received by Mr. Worrell tne men will leave here at noon to morrow. Mr. Patterson, cashier of yesterday. THE ASSOCIATED PBI88 ACCOUNT. Tobonto, Ont., April 6. White and Cross, the Raleigh bank forgers, were again arraigned before a police magistrate this morning. Their coun sel stated that they had consented to return to Raleigh upon the same con ditions as if they had been extra dited on the charges of forgery. They were also willing that the money now in the hands, of i the police should be placed in the hands of Chief of Police Heartt, of Raleigh, or United States Attorney Busbee. It was thought, therefore, that the oharge of bring ing stolen money into Canada should be withdrawn. The connsel for the Norfolk National Bank inied, how ever, upon this charge be w prcsc, but the magistrate urged buu o allow the money duestion to be settled at Raleigh. .Finally the case was put over until tomorrow in ordt r that an amicable settlement mght be ar rived at. j VI ILL, TUKVPRKSIDB5ITOKCLuV.a? A RtJMOB THAT HE WILL HOT BUN AO UN, Washington Con Baltimore Bun -6th. The letter! of acceptaLca of Mr Cleveland of the Democratic nomina tion for 1884 has of late been quite frequently quoted from to show that it will be inconsistent for him to ac cept a second nomination. But while Mr. Cleveland in that letter pointed out the dangers of a Presi dent intriguing lor another term, there is not a syllable in it which in terferes in any way with his again be coming a candidate- Even those most opposed to. him cannot accuse him of putting out ' any ef fort to obtain another nomination. He has certainly not said one word to any one which could indicate that he had any anxiety or any in terest in the, subject. It seems to be a foregone conclusion all around that Mr. Cleveland will be renominated by acclamation,: and undoubtedly he will be unless he interferes to prevent it. No sign bai come from him as to his purpose, if he has any, in that direc tion. Yet of late frequent expres sions have -been made in political circles of a belief that he will not be a candidate, i Some of the shrewdest political prophets hint that in due time, that it, in his own time, Mr. Cleveland will give Out a letter of declination. So far as can be ascer tained, there seems to be no founda tion for such predictions, but the ru mors are m the air. Wonderful Words tfLln.
