Failed to Pass.
A bill to incorporate the Wilmington
Telegraph Company is one of the b il s
which was introduced at the called session
of the Legislature, and which failed to
become a law. It passed the House and
was probably pigeon-holed in the Senate,
as it seems to have been lost somewhere
thertabonts; Its incorporators are gentle
men residing in this city, and the onject ef
the company is to facilitate the erection cf
telegraph lines in this State.
Likewise, the bill to incorporate the
Wilmington Market Company failed. This
bill passed the Senate, but did not get

Dye's Government Detective lor March
gives minute descriptions of two new and
dangerous counterfeits, one a hundred
dollar, bill on the ' National Exchange
Bank, of Pittsburg, letter A, and one a
ten on the new Treasury issue, seiies of
1876 (Webter head), letter C. There
has also recently appeared a five dollar
Counterfeit' of the ; same issue (Jackson
head), letter 0. Against all these busi
nsss, men should be on their gua d. Dye's
method of detecting counterfeits is a
novel one. All genuine bills are printed,
four bills at a time, attached together in a
sheet, each, bill containing one of the four
letters, A, B, C, D. The counterfeiter
L prints but one; makes but a single plate;
thus counter teitjcg but one of the. four
letters. Tbsn the redemption, agency re
tires the genuine bills'of the letter coun
terfeited on any bank. He then refuses all
bills having on them that letter, and
takes! with impunity all hills having en
them any of the other three letters.

throughout the entire evening that but
little was left at the close. There were
many pretty fancy articles displayed for

The Fire This Morning.
The premises owned and occupied by
Mr. John R. Melton, on Seventh, be
tween Bladen aad Harnett streets, were
discovered to be on 'fire, at about 4 oclock
this morn;ng. The alarm was imme
diately given, and the Fire Department
was promptly on .band; but the flames
had gotten under such headway before the
engines could become effective, that the
dwelling house, 'stable, sausage, house,
smckehojose and alt the other louthcuses1
were totally destroyed, with all their oon
tents, save thejurniture in the dwelling
house, which was nearly all saved. The
property waa insured in companies repre
sented by Messrs. Gordon A; Bro. as fol
lows: Dwelling house, $1,000; sausage
house, $350; machinery for making sau
sages, $425; smokehouse, $50;. stable,
$60; other outhouses and fencing, $70
total $1,945.
The bouse jatt north of Mr. Melton's ,
occuped by Mr. Bowden, and owned by
Mrs. Dudley, caughi fire and was con
siderahly damaged upon the roof. lo
sured for $150 by a company represented
by Messrs Gordon eV Bro. There was
also an insurance on the furniture ef Mr.
Bowden, which was nearly all saved, to
the amount of $200,. in a cempany rep
rebated by the same firow ,
A small frame house, just south of Mr.
Melton's, was also Ignited on the roof, but
the loss was inconsiderable. Insurance
in a company represented by Messrs.
Gordon & Brotf on the dwelling heme,
$125; oh the smokehouse', $25,
The bouse situated northwest from Mr.
Melton's, aad owned by Dr. W. J. H.
Bellamy, was also ignited and badly
scorched on the roof and one end.. Loss
fully covered by. insurance in a company
represented by Messrs. DeRosset & North-

by a spark from one of tfea'l arches ot the
