a few days ago, very disorderly and ap

He was confined in a cell at the guard
house and from thence has issued the
most discordant noises. He has but one
arm, but yet he succeeded in wrenching
an iron bar from the iaterior of his cell
and to-day i had nearly succeeded ia break
ing open the door which leads into the
corridor. He was nearly out when the
fact was i disclosed. He was examr ei

has bean sent to jail for safe keeping.
A Break at Hamlet.
There Is ong disagreeable feature in re
gard to the recent change of schedule on
the C. C. R. W. and that lies in the fact
that the train coming East passes Ham
let before the train from Raleigh reaches
that point, thus delaying the mails at
Hamlet. A close connection there has
proven of much convenience to citizens
of bath Raleigh and Wilmington, inas
much as letters written late in the
afternoon at either point were
received at their destination early the
following morning. As it is now, letters
from Wilmington to Raleigh go through
in one night but those from Raleigh to
Wilmington are delayed at Hamlet, if
sent over this route. The difference be
tween the two trains is ocJy 43 minutes
and we have good hopes that this differ
ence will be reconciled and the usual
mail connections made at Hamlet in a
few days.
cood Words for Us.
The people of Wilmington bave a friend
or two still at the State Capital. Read
the following from the pen of Maj.
Hearne, of the Post, and say if it isn't so:
The Wilmington people have heard
with no little dissatisfaction that Mr.
Best, of the Western North Carolina Rail
road, has made arrangements with the
Piedmont Air Line for a terminus at West
Point, on York River.
This is no doubt true, and ia what was
to have been expected from the sale of the
road. The demonstration made by Mr.
Best on Beaufort, the pretended effort to
lease the Atlantic road, and all his talk
to tho Wilmington people about the Car
olina Central, and with the Salisbury
folks abjut the Wadesboro connection,
were simply leints to cover his real de
signs. Railroad men of insight and conception
saw from tho first that Mr, Best was
working with the Richmond and Danville
people, and so proclaimed, and that if
there ever existed a hope of building up
the ports of our own State, that hope was
dissipated by the sale of the Western Road
to Mr. Best. Yet it was favored by a
Governor and State administration pro
fessing great attachment to their natit
land, and the strongest agenetes put to
work to accomplish the desired end were
iu and of the city of Wilmington. A
town or Board of Trade meeting was
called therein, and a delega ion. sent up
to urge the sale of the road to Mr. Best
Never having had. any confidence,
whatever, in the affair, we shall not ex
pect any thing good from it, and shall be
surprised at nothing it mayidevelop. We
are quite sure that Governor Jarvs and
his set ha,ve sold out the State, a fact
that.soomer or later, mast be made patent
to all, and when the day of full devel
opment shall come, all hands concerned
iu the sale will be cursed acd damned into
infamy.
we are sorry fcr Wilmingten aa much
as the State, for she is as a jewel set In a
crown, a fair city, cf fine commercial
capacities, a possible commercial metrop
olis to" a great State. But she is appar
ently doomed to further delay and
disappointment. Since the days of
Dudley there appears to have been
no one in the executive office possessed of
the capacity to appreciate he, and th is
neglected, slighted, legislated and combined
against, she would bave languiibed but for
the pluck and perseverance cl her citizens.
Let them, however, press on. Bay the
Carolina Central road and complete it to
Asbeville. Mr. Best w ill be unheard of
by that time, and the Cincinnati connec
tion. Is still a possibility of the future. Se
lect men for Slate offices of capacity and
State pride, and all may jet be welL

mington here and the advocate of a State

h Mr. Cieorfre H. Bellany moved that
tbe choice of the Convention as between

a crrett deal of noise and eocfusion en ued,
four men talking- at the ssme time, and in the
midst of this Babel the motion that the Chan

vote was not even taken.
In this way a snap judgment was taken
very much to thu disuut of those dtsiiii c

Dr. Curtis was then called on to calm the
excitement, which was intense and disgrace
ful. He ( Dr. C. ) moved that the Conven

place (for reasons a'ready given in the pub

put in a garbled manner, and the McKoy
