V In this were itu ated the villages of Negery and Negery Babawing. . None of the penplo inhab iting these places, or of the natives scattered sparsely through the To'rests and on the plains, escaped death. - This section of the island was not so densely populated as tho other portions, and the loss of life was corapaf ativcly small, although it must have aggregated lnlly 15,000 souls. The entire Kandang range of mountains cxtwiding aloni? the coast in a semicircle for about 05 miles had gone out ot sight.

The town ot Faggal was severely shaken, and few buildings were left standing. A violent shock was felt in j the island ot Sumatra on Monday after noon, and (it was feared that other disturbances might follow.

The postoflico department has select ed as the color for the new four cent or double rate stamp a shade of green some what darker than that in which tho present three cent stamp is printed. As the three cent stamp" w ill ;be retired from circulation no errors arc likely to ariso om the similarity ot color.

Tajrlors Bazaar. Wo were pleased to receive a call this afternoon from Mr. John Taylor, of New York, who will open here, on or about the 15th proximo, in Habn's old stand, on Market street, a.; branch of a New York house, which will be called Taylor's Bazaar. Mr. Taylor" tells us he will display a carefully selected stock of Fail and Winter millinery and fancy goods and that it will be his con stant endeavor to keep, up with the Is test styles, j presenting everything at low prices. He has secured the .ser vices of a number of lady trimmers of hats and bonnets who have all- had years of experience. Due notice of the exact day of opening will be made through the advertising columns of the Review. . j Fine Horses. A span of horses arrived here last night, consigned to Capt. T. J. South -erland and intended for. the use of Wilmington Steam Fire Engine Co. No. 1, which for beauty, symmetry and proportion could hardly bo excelled. Thev are of a dark dapple gray and so j near alike iu color that it would be al ; most impossible to distinguished one ifrom the other. They weigh respect fully 1,250 and 1,270 pounds, are beau tiful in form, and perfectly and gentle do cile although there is nothing sluggish or lazy in their disposition. Oneot them is 6 and the other 7 years old, and both appear to to be entirely sound and free from blemish of any 6ort. They were raised in West Virginia, and are cer tainly as pretty pieces ol horse flesh as we have seen in many years. tree t Lines. There seems to bo much ignorance on tho part of citizens who are erecting buildings, fences and the liko in the city, of the ordinance requiring a sur vey before they commence such erec tions. Some of the streets have been so much encroached upon'in the past that the beauty of regular lines and squares have been greatly injured or destroyed. This was. a few years ago, carried on to such an extent that the Board of Al dermen found it necessary to enact sev eral stringent ordinances upon the sub- . r ft 4. UA .... nUr,.n aI inno 11 jeCt OI SircCb UU9W UtllVIII. . For tho information of our people who are about to build , or have com menced to build, we copy the following city law which speaks for itself. (See pages 181 to 159, City Jaws aud Ordi nances. , i Sec tion 1. It shall be the duty ot i the Chief of -Police to notify all persons about to erect any building, wall or feuce, not to encroach on any street or alley; and inform them that the law re quires that the City Surveyor shall des- t . .? Afs lgnaie me ximus oi meir respective una betorcthey erect such building, wall or fence. And every person encroaching upon any street or alley," whether so notified or not. shall forfeit an'd pay fifty dollars for each and everyday that said encroachment shall, bo permitted to stand after being notified of tho en croachment. Tbq City Attorney decided that every new structure requires a new survey, and the Chief of Police has no discretion in the matter, as the word shall makes it his duty to see- that the ordinance is enforced in all cases. , - Let the street lines be kept from ; en croachment and remain " straight and beautiful, as designed in laying , them out, at right angles to each other. - t '"l is i -. sw i-i.

Yates book, store which came near being serioas-in its consequences, : but which was rather ludicrous, a3 . it ter minated. A colored man was , pouring water into a cask of lime, in order to make 'mortar, when it exploded and scattered the white liquid mass'all over his head and shoulders, burning hi3" face and head quite severely in some places. "The explosion frightenedj a colored boy in the "employ of Mr. Yates, w"ho turned a complete: sumniersault throgh an. open window, in-his haste to get out ot harm's way, and went rush ing-through the store as if thq Ku Klux were after him. . : Too tiAte. Mr. George N. Ennett, of Cedar Point, . Carteret county, shipped a barrel of very fine apples of what is known as j'Rue's riety, ictendiug them Reliance" va for exhibition at the recent fruit fair in this city. Un fortunately, however, they did not reach hero until after tbe fair had closed, and they were sold to defray tho f reight ex penses. This is to be regretted, as these apples are paid to be of a fine quality and flavor, and especially adapted to our soil and climate, j The trees are of ylgorours growth and are prolific bearers, and the fruit is of the Summer or early Autumn variety, although when handled with care in harvesting, they have been kept until Christmas. , Democrats Duped, j Some lime ago a colored individual by the name of Mebane yisited Wilming ton in behalf of a Republican paper pub lished by hira in Raleigh, entitled, we think, tbe Batmer-Enterprise. He secured about 150 subscribers here, nearly all of whom were white men and Democrats, who psid iti advance. For five or six weeks the paper came regularly enough but at the end ot that time Mebane found it convenient to suspend publication and no more copies have been received. It is thought that the amount he carried away from here was between $200 and $300. Probabjy we ought to be sorry for those who have bn duped but somehow wo are not. The Clinton "Wires. September 1st, to-morrow,1 is the day on which the Clinton & Warsaw Tele graph Line is expected to be open for business and from what we can learn it will push that date very close. The poles are all up and the wire is being strung now. A young lady, Miss Maria Shaw, will be in charge of the office at Clinton. . About the 1st of October Is the regu lar old-fashioned moving period, but many of bur business men aro ' taking time by the forelock by. taking up new quarters already: We hear of som4 who have moved, several who are moving and quite a number who will move in the course of one or two weeks . - "" " " .' We understand that work1 on the Clinton & Point Caswell R. R. is being very vigorously prosecuted now. About ten miles in all have been graded, six leading out from Clinton and four from Point Caswell. ; The burning out of a foul chimney in the First Ward this morning caused an alarm of fire, and the Fire Department on the North side of the railroad turned out. but the trouble was all over before tbey could reach the scene, . j j Ye learn from one who was present, that tbe Dime Party at the parsonage of the Fifth Street M.

It is enlarged and greatly improved and we congratulate our brethren on these significant signs. In answer to several enquiries,. from the country as well as the city, we will state that so far as we are aware, ino return tickets. to the Boston Exposition have yet been placed on sale here.
