Rev. J. J. Boyle, CathoKct priest atH Rcileigh, C, was arrested Saturday evening List on he charge of rape, committed on a young lady member of that church, a Miss Whitaker, and was sept to jail to await his trial at the Su perior Court. He had been living fast of- late, spending money freely and drinking hard. Ha is a Pennsylva niau, of Irish, descent. A special court may. be called to try him, as the next regular term of Wake Superioi Court do&s not come on before September. This incident, as might well have been expected, produced a profound sensation in Raleigh. The mayor of the city was alarmed by it, and very shortly after it became known, increased,-temporarily, the police force of the city, putting on 20 additional men. The crime alleged rarely ever- fails to . arouse the piost violent dispositions of : men, so that the officers of the law are seldom able' to hold them in check. We congratulate Raleigh on having escaped an instant scene of wild and deadly fury. Death in the Well. SulfSTille Landmark. In the North Carolina Medical Jour- nal for March is an article of rare in terest and value from the pen of Dr. Henry T. Bahnson, of Salem, one of the ablest and most distinguished mem- ! bers of iiis profession within our bor der?, upon uThe Public AVater Supply of Towns and Cities in North Carolina. -i He says the deaths in tRis countiy every year from diphtheria and typho.d fever out-number many times, those' bccur- " ring during the severest epidem c of cholera or yellow fever, and that the for mer is frequently and the latter almost invariably conveyed into the .system by drinking water. The -j. dreadful epidemics if diphtheria, ten to fifteen years ago, at Company Sbops, Charlotte, New Berne and other places in the State, can obly he accounted for, says - Dr. Bahnson, by general pollution of . the wells. He estimates the mortality from typhoid f-ever in North Carolina at 600 per yeur, and sat 8 that in the vast majority of cases it results from jiuman excrement fiuding access ta, drinking water Diarrheal jmd cholera wait 1 likewise, upon impure water; aitd the 'a;iMuut.ot'diseuses and the. number of : dealhi in various forms that it entails u'poh'nvery State every year, the Witer says there are w means of estimating.

' Washington May 13, 1889. Harrison V religions J following will probably be greatly shocked to learn that the truly good an pious- uenja- nin has been indulging, in a, simui Sunday excursion;.... But. such is the fact. Pious Benny left. Washington Saturday morning- on board of the Government vessel. Despatch and the sailing masters orders were to keep going night and day until the return Wushinrtnn :to-ni&rht. And to make matters worse he has led off with him such innocents as Secietary Win dom, who has not yet entirely recover ed from the effects of his own indul gence at the late New York celebra tion, Seercetary Rush', who by the way needs salt air very much since he was "fresh" enough to think that wielding a cythe for five, minutes in the .presence of several newspaper cor respondents was sufficient to popular ize him with the Agriculturists and working people of the country, and lastly but by no means least, Joe Hawley, who although born in the State of North Carolina, can and does constantly give the trickiest citizens of the State'which he represents in the United States Senate Connecticut points in all manner of things. Mrs. Harrison was along, but ?. also were the two McKee children, who proba bly fully occupied her time leaving the four mark the number pious gen tlemen to indulge in their favorite game to as great an extent as they might wish. What was done will probably never be known as neither of the four concerned . are likely to tell any tales. Chief Justice Fuller finding the res idence in the suburbs which he now occupies under lease to be too far from the Capitol for him to walk to and from the Supreme Court roqm in the Capitol, has-purchased one of the most desirable private houses' in this city, located almost in its centre. The price paid was SlOO.COOcjh. - Mr. Palmer the new Public Printer took charge of the Government print ing office this morning. Mr. Bene dict, the retiring Public Printer has not been a popular official no man can be, id that' office, who properly looks out for the interests of the Govern ment, but he has nevertheless been one of the very best Public Printers we have ever had. There has been less waste and more w.ork turned out for the amount paid than was ever be fore known in4he history of the of fice. At last the colored man and brother has captured a Presidential appoint ment. The lucky man was Kev. J. Towmend of Richmond, Indiana, jnd the office was Recorder of the Genenal Land office not a big office by any means, but just now the race is ex tremely thankful for anything it can get. " Corporal Tanner is getting to . im agine himself the "biggest" man 'con nected with the administration. Some of his personal friends have already began to talk of him as a Presidential candidate, lf less than two months at the head of the pension bureau has had this much effect, what may be expected of four years? The $L90,000,000 in the United States treasury has all got to be count ed in order that Mr.- Hyatt the retir ing Treasurer may take the receipt oi he new lreasurer,Mr. Huston, for hciame. The count began to-day md is expected to last three months. Nearly four-fifths of the monev con sists of standard silver dollars. Tke "appointment of Ex-Governer Thompson of South Carolina as the democratic and Mr. , Theodore Roose velt of New York, as the second re publican member of the Civil Service Commission, makes the beard com plete for the first time in many months. One of the first things that the Com missioner intends to do is to contest he recent decision of the Interior de partment that appointments m the Census bureaus would be made with out civil service examinations. Mr. Wanamaker is opposed to one cent postage. He seems to have al ready become a vie im to the fever that Postmaster Generals always get soon atter their appointments and seldom ever get rid of. That is the absurd desire to make the Post office department self-sustaining. It's dollars to tringrer cakes that some New Hampshire paper mill gets its work e.trly in the administration of the New Public Printer. ' My reason for thinking so is that little "Bibby" Chaneller helped Palmer fix up his bond and also went on it himself. Now Chaneller never does anything for nothing, and his long experience in manufacturing Government con- cj - tracts in which he has been silently interested causes me to believe that in thecase he will stick to the same line of tactics that have made him a rich man. The next Congress will have sixteen contested election cases to determine. thirteen of them from the South. The papers in several of these cases are now at the government printing of fice being put in type. Practical Education. The North Carolina State Agricultural College will throw open its doors on the first of next September. The new college building is a fine brick structure, and the sum of $30,000 nas already bejen expended upon it. It is located near the fair grounds, on a site of 6Q acres of ground, donaied for tho purpose by the liberal and. spirited Mr. Pullen, of Raleigh. .

Charlotte Chronicle : A called meet ing of the Board of Trustees of Trinity College was held in Greensboro Tuesday, aud a resolution was passed expressing the belief that it is "best for the interest of Methodism in North Carolina and the cause of God to move Trinity College to some prominent centre within this State provided there shall bo tendered to this board a proper guarantee of a suit able site with buildings on it of at least equal value and as well suited for the uses of the College of those on the pres ent site." The Piedmont Wagon Company has been reorganized, with new ofheers, aud with their $200,000 capital propose to carry on a business seco d to none in the South. The directors have ordered the president to put up a new brick build ing two and u naif stories high, 200 feet long and 60 feet wide with metal roof. It will take 600,000 brick and 30,000 feet of lumber to construct it, and it will be ready for occupaucy August 1st. With this they can turn out six thousand Piedmont Wagons per year, or nearly twenty wagons per day. Hickory Press. A Davie Merehcnt Oano-ht in th Jw. 1 eiry Trap.

The goods came by express to Statesville, charged $150, C. O. D. "Mor ris & Miller" advised Mr. Eaton when they were shipped and Mr R. K. Mur dock, express agent thtre, advised him when they arrived. He raked together $150, came here, paid it overaud received his package. , The paper w rapping being removed revealed a tin cash box, 5Jx8 in ches, painted black with pretty trimmings but the box was locked and no key ac companied it. Mr. Eaton carried it to Mr. J. U. Lamprecht to have a key fitted to the lock, but he had none which would fit it and as it was late in the evening Mr. 'Lamprecht told him to come again next morning. That night iu Jo. White's bar ber shop Mr. Eaton's curiosiiy mastered him, and securing a pair of pinchers he pried the box open. It contained a block of white pine wood, with scraps of news papei sluck in to fill up the era cks betweeu n and the box. Mr. Eaton saw that he had been scoop ed. He secured the services of Maj. H. Bingham, as counsel, and the same night swore out a warrant of attachment for his $150 dollars, which was still in the hands of the express agent. The money was at tached, advertisment was made for 30 days for "Morris & Miller" to apper and establish their claim to it, and the 30 days expired last Friday. The honorable ship pers did not appear either in person or by proxy, and the money was awarded to Mr. Eaton, but his $50 are gone forever and he was so disgusted with his tin cash box and his block of wood that he left them with Justice Stimson on whos shelf they statid for an everlasting memorial. Suckers seem to be biting unusually well thisspiing. Landmark: Terrific Hailstorm. Lumberton, N. C, May . 14. Our towu hasjust been visited by sv terrible bail-storm, preceded by a furious wind, which darkened the firmament almost like night itself. The hail-stoues, which were as large as bird's eggs, coini.letely. covered the gaound. and piled up in dif ferent places. Your correspondtnt has not had an opportunity to learn of the damages throughout the town and coun try, but we must know that the cotton is completely destroyed, and as owing to the extremely unfavorable weather, many farmers had already planted twice, it becomes a very serious matter to our people. The heavily laden fruit trees are also doubtless divested of their treasures. The roof of the Carolina Central Depot here was partially blown off, and considerable damage was done to outbuildings. In some places the hail was three inches deep. Charlotte Chronicle. . Sentenced to die by Electricity. Buffalo, 21. Y., May 14.

Editor Manufacturers' Record: Salisbury has for some time past been growing more rapidly than any other towu iu the Piedmont section of North Carolina. Its rapid development is due to its railroad and banking' facilities, its excellent schools and churches, its very low taxes, its, remarkable healthfulness, and to its being sui rouiided by a country in which there are four staple produc- itious, grain, tobacco, cotton aud buy. The town has two leading character istics: 1st. It demauds solid growth and thorough work in everything, uud is in tolerant of anything that is as good as it seems. 2d. It is a self-reliant people ; others may help them if they will, but what Salisbury folks undertake to do they will certainly accomplish. So the workman's hammer is heard in eve-y di rection, dwellings aud factories are springing up, an annual increase of from 10 to 15 per cent, in the population is maintained, and not a few town lots arc worth three times what they were three years ago. Its situation at the junction of the two great trunk lines of the Richmond & Danville system gives it direct lines of road to the Jsorth, the South, and the Chamber of Commerce. VlDI Nobbmsa TJaler Arrest. London, May 13. TheEu-1 of D-a-lley Lords Lurg.ni and Paulet, Baron l'Yuais jend a uumoer of other gentlemen, all of whom were arrested early yesterday morning at the Field Ciub and rdeasid on bail p were arraigned to-day at the Vine street Police Court to answer the charge of gambling. The court was crowded almost to suffocation with peo ple, anxious to sec the noblemen ar raigned as criminals. The Earl of Dud ley a ppea red to be heartily ashamed of himself and eayer to escape the notice of tlw thr6g hy submiion to a .fine, hut Lord LurKun was denunt and suM'V at his arrest. The police effieers who made the raid of the Club admitted that the noblemen were not members of the Field Club, but declared that they resorted to various Clubs for the purpose of gam bling. The prisoners, twenty-one in number, were remauded for a week on bail. Miss Kin Kato, wbo came to this conn try from Japan some years aro to be ed ucated, left for her native country last week. She ha3 taken a course at the Salem Normal School and at Wellesley. During ber stay here she embraced Christianity. When she came to Ameri ca it was understood to be the desire of the Japanese government that her reli gious ideas were not to be influenced, but that if she wished to embrace the Chris tian faith she was at liberty to do so. It fills us with a feeling of happiness to note, remarks the Albany Expnss, that the "quiet wedding" is coming more aud inore into vogue, and that the riotous. marriage i going more and more out of the vogue just mentioned. We have held all along that the practice of solem nizing a marriage with the aid of a dyn;.- mitc, a troupe ot real Indians aud a cal liope was very reprehensible and not at all in accord with our ideas of what ought to be in good society. The Her. Hugh Pentecost, in suldress in the Belleville Avenue Newark, said: "The great employers of labor to-dav are, beyond all question, TTevilish wicked; but this is not because they, as persons, are worse than others. It is because the social system makes it nccess-aiy that a man who wishes to succeed should bid good-by to every noble sentiment of feeling. "John Wanamaker as a husband, a fa ther, a neighbor, a friend of the poor in the vicinity of his Sunday school, is a tender hearted and up-right man; but John Wanamaker as a merchant in com petition with other merchants, as an em ployer of seving women and children, as a politician, is a very different man. In the oue case be has a chance to bo a good man, he is a good man; but in the other case the system make him a bad man. In his home and his Sunday school he can be a good man, but in business and politics, under this system, he cannot. Of course you understand that I speak of l ? : 3 mm as an luuiv iquai. .
