A. 80HUTTB, I JllEMBEi com 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?" LOCAL NEWS. New Advertisements.

The following named person3 were drawn as Grand Jurors : John Maunder, foreman ; James Kendrick, J. M. Bremer C. D.

If crime does not cease in this communi ty, or goes unpunished after its commission, the fault is clearly not with the presiding Judge.

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. How to catch 'em. Just buy the Delusion Rat ami Mouse traps.
