Raleigh had a disastrous fire on Sat
urday pornine:. The planing mills of
Ellihtbn & Royster, ia the Nor th west
ern pari of the city, were destroyed, to
gether with five other buildings. The
total loss is $18,000. Ellington & Itoys
ster had but $3,000 insurance. They
will rebuild at once.
The Newbemian endorses the action
of Gov. Jarvis in refusing to foifill the
pledge he made to allow the private
stockholders to control the lease of the
Atlantic & North Carolina R. R. It
says: -
-We fetferiSy endorse the action of the
Governor, and believe thatt a very large
majority of the people of Craven county,
probably three-fourths, will concur. In
fact the number in the county who favor
the lease i3 made up of a certain class
of soreheads who would not be averse to
giving the Road away in order to put
the present efficient administration on
the same footing with themselves i. e.
among the "outs." H
After the stockholders' adjourned
meeting: the stockholders who favored
the lease, and who in part composed the
class above alluded to, assembled in a
sort of mass meeting, tdgive vent to their
wrath and fiery indignation, at this
meeting.
It seem3 to ns that our friend of the
Newbemian has rather given himself
away on this. According to the report
of the meeting, as published in his own
columns, in the regular' meeting there
were represented 12,666 shares belonging
to the State and 4,071 shares held by
corporations and individuals. In the
private meeting of stockholders (vide
Newbemian) held afterwards, there were
4,129 shares of stock represented, or, just
53 shares more of private stock than was
represented in the regular meeting. Will
the Newbemian rise to explain what
has become of the private stockholders
represented in the first meeting who op
posed the lease, if the second meeting
was made up of those "who in part com
posed the class alluded to" whom the
Ncicbernian classes elsewhere as "sore,
heads," with 58 shares more than had been
previously represented? Sifted, the mat
ter stands thus: There were 4,071 pri
vate shares at the first meeting and 4,129
at the second. In this latter tho propo
sition to lease to the Wilmington & Wei"
don R. R. got 3,340 shares in the affirm"
ative and 789 shares in the negative
Of these 789, 350.shares were held by Col
Morehead, who explained his vote by
saying that while opposed to the Best
proposition he was yet not willing to ac
cept that of Col. Bridgers and Capt. Di
vine, as he wished to hold back for bet
ter terms. Now, who and where are the
real "sore-heads?"

The special term of th;s Court,oi'dered
by Judge Mea es to anticipate the regu
lar December tei-m, ac-wb'ch iime the
regular term of the Superior . Court
would also have convened in this con Qty,
convened at 10 o'clock th;s morning,'
with His Honor Judge Meares on the
bench.
The following named person3 were
drawn as Grand Jurors : John Maunder,
foreman ; James Kendrick, J. M. Bremer
C. D. Morrill, Samuel Reed, Henry
Reider, Thomas Heed, Nathan Reeves,
Robert Sweat, Stephen Sneeden, W. K.
Bell, Benj. Farrow, Jr., A. G. McG;rt,
Balaam W. Wade, Romulus Waddell,
J. T. Foreman, A. B. George, Isaac D.
Reynolds.
After the jury had been duly sworn
and assigned to the jury bo:;, B is H onor
delivered his charge, which, according
to our judgment, t was the fmost clear,
comprehensive and exhaustive of the
many able charges which His Honor has
delivered since the inauguration of the
Criminal Court in th:s county. If crime
does not cease in this communi ty, or goes
unpunished after its commission, the
fault is clearly not with the presiding
Judge.
The following cases have been disposed
of up to our close:
State vs. B. F. Turlington, A. and B
Judgment suspended upon payment of
cost.
State vs. Stephen Moore, Emanuel Al
len and James Bagley, ?njar:ng stock
Defendant submits. Fine $20 dad cost.
State vs. W. II. Moore, unlawful
fence. Now on trial.
We advise all n need of Household Hard

Caicli the Kiack: Varmint!
On Friday morn:ng last several chif k
ens were fonnd dead and with their throats
cut, in a private lot near Market and
Third streets, wh:ch the night previous
were well and apparently healthy. A cat
was also fouud ou the premises at the
same time dead with its throat cut. The
night following this occurrence, or rather
the day after, several ch:ckens and a cat
were found dead with their throats cut
on a private lot on Second, between
Dock and Orange streets. These two in
cidents led to the belief that it could be
no human agency which thu3 wantonly
destroyed these things' lives, and that
consequently, as a mink is an animal
which never devours the flesh, but only
sucks the blood of its victim, it is sup
posed that one of these amphibious ani
mals must be on a short visit to the city
to enjoy his Thanksgiving and Christ
mas dinners at the expense of our citi
zens and their poultry. What seems
conclusive evidence as to the nature of
the author of these fowl deeds is the fact
that the first named locality is near the
run which flow3 from the lot by the jail
vard and the second named place is not
very far removed from the same run
where it passes through the premises of
Messrs. Hart, Bailey & Co.'s iron works.
Now, if some of the boys want a little
sport let them get their dogs and torches
and go mink huntiog to-n-ght. Remem
ber, too, yoa can sell his skin 'for about
sixty-five cent3 or a dollar.
Seeing is believing without doubt you
can buy Cooking and Heating Stoves at al
most any price at Jacobi's. i
"Driufc." To.Nigbt.
There is no doubt as to the merits of
the performance to be given at the Op
era House this evening. This seems to
be the general sentiment as well, as
there is now every prospect of a good
house this evening. The Atlanta (Ga.)
Constitution of last Tuesday, conment
ing on the performance of "Drink," in
that city, sapy :
The opening scenes, introducing the
apartment of Lantier the delivery of
the key, the interior of the public wash
house, and the battle with the water
buckets betw-een Gervaise and Virginie,
were so naluval in the saountine and ap
pointments and so life-like in the acting
that the minds oi the audience were
thoroughly enl isted, and their sympathies
gently put upon the alert. So natural
was the easy and gradual development
of the plot that the effect upon the au
dience was almost the same as would
have been produced upon a crowd looking
upon the actual occurrence of every -day
li'.e. The second act brought out a deli
ciocs bit of acting betweeu Gervaise,
Rose Kyt'nge, and Coupeau, -Cyril
Searle in the courtship scene
before the Saloa L'Assommoir, but
it was not until the thiid act that the
audience, whose gentler emotions had
been thus far kept in a constant flutter
betweeu smiles and tears was deeply
s'Jn ed. Just heie Lantfer, "the desert
ing husband, suddenly darted in upon
the wedding party of Gervaise and Cou
peau, throwing the guests into an ecstasy
of astonishment, and giviDg Rose Eytinge
an opportunity to paint painful amaze
ment so naturally that the curtain went
down amid the impassioned applause of
the whole house. The fourth act
completing the building beginning with
the happy home scene and ending with
the fall of Coupeau from the scaffolding,
aQbrded a dramatic contrast so startling
in its realism that it almost threw the
ladies of the audience into slight hyster
ics and made the men momentarily shiv
er with fright. In this act little Ollie,
as Nana, the very small c&M of Cou
peau and Gervaise, showen herself a
prod;gy. The farewell at Father Col
embe's place, where Coupeau yields to
the devilish ridicule of h;s heartless and
beastly tempters and takes the fatal cup,
was played with a quiet but powerful
naturalness wlrch held the breathless
attention of the audience, and the scene
which ensued when his heart-broken wife
enters and finds her drunken husband
was given with most distressing
effect. The sLith act, dis
closing the wonderful delirium tremens
r scene was a dramatic revelation. It was
a great piece of acting heart-rending
in its reabsm terrible in its intensity of
passion harrowing in it3 naturalness it
wrought the audience to the highest
pitch of horror melted it to overwhelm
ing pity harrowing up the souls of all!
And yet the scene was managed with
such artistic tact that there was nothing
in it to disgust. Mr. Searle was called
twice with marked enthusiasm. The last
scene, representingGervaise reduced to
beggary and dying in the streets of Paris
in the snow, was played by Rose Eytinge
with marvellous eiiect. We have never
seen a more affecting scene on- any stage.
Tomorrow evening Miss Eytinge ap
pears in her famous character "Armande
Chandocc," in the superb society play,
"Led Astray." The costumes worn by
her in this piece were made by Worth of
Paris and are said to be the handsomest
ever brought South by any actress.
