The restoration , now advancing, of the great north door of Westminster Abbey is said to have cost $60,000. This gives a notion of the cost at present prices of such a fabric. A corporation has been .formed in fow York, with a capital stock of tlOO.ooo, the objects of which are "to acquire patents useful in the construc tion of arms and" ammunition, to sell the same, to work thereunder, and to Manufacture and sell arms and ammu nition, especially with the application f electricity thereto." New York city is to have within two eeks an additional supply of 10.000,000 Salons of water a day by the comple v fon of the Kensico line, which has ken building for more than two years, &nd which will connect with the Croton water mains.

W ILMINGTON. N. C. WEDNES DAY. SEPTEMBER 10, 1884. N0 216 Though Keelys motor is still immov able in Philadelphia, the inventor has put into practical use his "etheric va por," by applying it to a little gun of his invenUQJi. Half a dozen leaden bullets more than an inch in diameter were driven through a board and flattened against an iron plate as though they had been pounded by a trip hammer. Seven army officers witnessed the ex periments, whicn are to be continued at the artillery range at Fort Hamilton, New York. 1 According to BradstreeCs August cotton report from the more important counties of North Carolina, the weather since July 15 has been generally fair, and the condition of the plant is fair. There has been little or no injury by drought fcave in the counties of Anson, Union and Wayne, in the first of which the injury has been 25 per cent, and in the last two 10 per cent each. The state of cultivation is generally fair, though in Anson and Union it is reported bad The prospects of the crop are. generally fair. Thefclargest acreage is that of EJgecombe 58,660, while that oi Wake U 56,170. Mecklenburg has the next largest 45,830, and Halifax follows with 41,832; Wayne with 36,- 450; Northampton with 35,250; Franklin with 31,000; Anson with 28,- 900; Lenoir with 24,490; Wilson with 23,510, and Union with 22,050. Some of the scenes at the polls in Maine are said to have been disgust; ing in the extreme and the means used to secure votes as disgraceful as they were disgusting. There were women at the polls in Augusta, and the World says: Some responses made to solicitations of the women were rude and insulting. One man who was quite drunk swore that he could never be -ruled by a. lot of petticoats, and then said he would be d- d if he would ever take a ballot from a woman. The poor women look ed terribly dissatisfied. One of them sat down, saying she was discouraged. Notwithstanding the existence of a strict prohibitory law in this city beer and whiskey were freely given at a common hotel near by. The Republi can women worked for prohibition at the polls, while the Republican men made their dupes drunk before march ing them in like cattle to cast a free ballot. There was little concealment about the purchase . of voters. The prices paid "or received were freely dis cussed. Bottles of whiskey were car ried in coat pockets and handed from one man to another with many a drunken grin and grimace. Jost exactly what the Republican majority in Maine will prove to be is as yet difficult to determine, judging from the reports thus far published here. Probably the figures given by us yesterday, 15,000, will nearly approx imate the fact. Yesterday's Herald says: Thft returns from the Maine election indicate a Remiblican Dluralitv of less than 13-,000 for Governor Robie. This is about 4,000 less than the plurality of Mr.. Haves in ib ana aoouc 4.uuu rrmrA than the oluralitv of General narfielrl in 1880. It also is a sain of about 4 000 over Governor Robies plu rality in law, l ne vote in leass is uie fair one for a comDarison. But we ob serve that the Associated Press agents in Maine, m a ridiculous enaeavor to cret nn a Rlaine boom with the returns. compare them with the Governor's vote in 1880, wnen tne Kepuoncans lost the State for almost the only time in this generation. Their real gain is, as we have said, about 4.000 at the utmost. The figures of the press agent3 are a trick to exaggerate it. Mr. Rlaine therefore aDDears to be 4 000 votes more popular in Maine than the late President Garfield, and 4,000 votes less popular than ex-President Rntherlord a. Hayes, xnis is not a rorv hnnofnl showincrfor the ReDiibli- Presidential candidate in his own State. It does not show an overwhelm ing enthusiasm for a "favorite son." On the contrary, it shows that if the Democratic National Committe had. . chosen to contest this election, instead of letting it go by de fault, tthey might have done so with an A-rnallent chance of success. Among such details as have reached us Up to the time of going to press, tne most im portant in their national significance are the carrying of the great manufac turing cities, such as Biddetord and Lewiston, by the Democrats, which have heretofore cast substantial Repub lican majorities. Mr. Blaine himself went to the polls in Augusta with one of his sons, and both "dodged" the vote on the prohibito ry temperance amendment ol the State constitution. The circumstances are reported in oar special despatches and will be of lively interest to Mr. St. John's friends in the Presidential can vas. - The early bird catches the bronchitis, and lovers of early morning walks will find this a true maxim.

The New York Herald emits no un certain sound when it says editorially that "the Democratic ticket is going to be triumphantly elected in November." There were indications of a storm at Jacksonville, Fla., this morning, which threatened to move up the Atlantic coast. Strong Northeast winds were prevailing.

The Young Men's Democratic Club will hold an important meeting at the City Court Room at 8:30 o'clock to night. It is hoped that there may be a full attendance and that every ward in the city may be well represented. We are requested to state that' Mr. Edwin W. Kerr and Maj. C. W. Mc- Clammy will address the citizens of Pender. Sampson and Bladen counties at Point Caswell on Wednesday next. the lTth inst. A big turnout is expected on that occasion. There- are 17 prisoners now confined in the county jail. Of this number. one is awaiting trial before the United States Court, one is held as a witness before the same tribunal, three are from Pender county, one from Pitt county and eleven from this county. Cards of invitation have been sent out for a dinner to be given at Capt. Mayo's. at the Rocks, on Friday next, but owing to unavoidable circumstances the dinner has. Heen postponed nntil Monday next. The Review staff ten der thanks for a cordial invitation to be present. . The News and Observer says: Fre quent inquiries are made as to whether the State Board of Education gomg to make an apportionment from the State treasury for the benefit of the public schools for the current year. At present, we are authoritatively in formed, it is impossible to say whether the apportionment will be raadexjr not, but it is provable that it will hot; A Bad Couple. About 4 o'clock yesterday - afternoon officer Chadwick came to police head quarters with two colored men in his charge, one of whom accused the other of committing a murder. Mayor Hall investigated the matter, when it ap peared they they had joined company while walking on the railroad track and kept together until they reached Duplin Rjads where they both board ed a train aud came to this city on Monday night They gavo their names a Lewis . Wilkins aud John Henry Williams. Tho former claimed to hava been a former resident of this oily, while the latter bailedfrom Pitt county. After arriving Wilkins found a place in which his con pan ion could sleep, and managed by some very smooth talk to get possession of Williams' money and a valise coutaiuing clothing and other articles, giving him iu return what he claimed was a "ioadstone" which possessed supernatural powers that would enable him to go where ever he pleased without any difficuly. Like a silly gudgeon, Williams swal lowed this nousanse, and yesterday morning Wilkins took the articles he had got from i Williams, telling the latter to remain where he was until the form er should return. Willfams soon after beean to 'fmell a mice" and started after Wilkins in order to regain hi3 property, but the latter, in order to get rid of Williams, turned him over to officer Chadwick, charging that he had confessd, while on the road, that he bad committed a murder in Pitt county. The fact was revealed during the in vestigation that Wilkins had disposed of the property, but the articles were all recovered and fully identified by Williams, the latter having minutely described them before they were ex posed to view. The testimony was so conclusive Ithat Wilkins was required to give a bond in the sum of $50 for his appearance at the next term of the Criminal Court, in default of which be was committed. While the papers were being made out committing Wilkins to jail, he made use of certain expressions regarding Williams which justified the detention of the latter until the matter could be further investigated. With this in view Justice Hill went to the jail and took tho affidavit of Wilkins, in which the latter declaed that Williams had voluntarily confessed that he had killed a man in Pitt couny, named Moses Berry, by knocking him in -the head with an axe, in consequence ot which Williams was sent to jail for safekeep ing until the authorities of Pitt could be communicated with. While on the way to the jail Williams voluntarily told the officers who had him in charge that he killed a man in Pitt about ten days ago. He sailed under quite a number of aliases and told many dif ferent stories regarding himself. Irving Davis aud Irving Long were among bis numerous names, the latter of which is thought to be the correct one. Both men are undoubtedly as ' bad and wicked as they well can be, and we have not a doubt that our community i3 all the more safe from pillage while they are incarcerated. Good News. Col. E. D. Hall received a letter this morning concerning the situation and outlook in New York for Cleveland. The letter was in response to inquiries made by Col. Hall and was written by a member of the firm of E. Sweeny & Sons, who arc large quarriers and con tractors for the famous "North river blue stone. We have been kindly per mitted to copy the letter, which is as folows: New Yokk, Sept. 8th, 1881. Hon. E. D. Hall Dear Sir. Your fayor of the 1st inst. was duly leceived and I take more pleasure in replying at this date than I would have felt two weeks ago. To-day there is a certainty ot the State being carried by Cleveland; ; two weeks ago there were graye doubts, owing to tbc dissatisfaction of local branches of the Democracy, especially Tammany Hall. Two weeks ago nets were freely made against Cleveland carrying New York. To-day the bets are reversed. Every thing points to Cleveland as our next President of the Un ted States. I be lieve, candidlv. that he will be as much a tidal wave President as he was a "tidal wave" Governor. Hoping you are well, believe me to be. Yours, very respectfully, WM. A. SWEENY. Quarterly Conference. We are requested to "state that the next Quarterly Conference of Topsail Circuit of the Methodist E Church will be held on Wednesday, the 17th inst, at Prospect Church, on Middle Sound, in New Hanover county. The Presiding Elder.of this Conference District, Rev. Dr. Bobbitt, vr ill preside. , . , . We call attention to the notice in this issue of the meeting of the Y. M. D. C. of New Hanover county. and we ex press our pleasure at the announce ment that it is about to recommence its work.

Winder, General -j Mana ger of tho Carolina Central R. R., was in the city to-day. j Our esteemed friend. Mr4 -J D. Smith-deal, was again in the citjy yes terday and gave ' us the plcasurb of a call. He was on his return from ally ing visit to New j York and ieft for his home in South Carolina last night. Miss Lula Reeves, of Caldvvcil, Tex., is in the city and is the guest of Miss Miltie Monroe. Miss Reeves is: on her way to Montgomery College, at! Chris tianburg. Va The Deadly Lamp The wife of Jack I Nixon, colored, at tho Walker place, near Rocky Point, was fatally burned) on last Saturday night, from the careless handling of a lighted lamp containing kerosene oil It had no chimney or shade j The woman was sitting near a door ?of her house, with the lamp on her lap, and the wind blowing ih upon the lighted lamp caused an explosion. Tfie oi caught on fire and tho flames Spread with the oil over her body so extensive ly and severely as to cause her death in a few hours. Lamps containing- kero sene oil cannot be used too carefully when lighted and ought never to be used so that the wind blows upon them. 1 4 Items from Uurcraw A note from a friend at Burgaw con tains some matters of general interest. It is very dry in that locality,, and the people are wishing and hoping for rain, as it is sorely needed. The crops are very good, but the crops of late corn, potatoes and upland, rice will be cut off considerably unless copious showers fall very soon. j A yery interesting series of meetings which have been held in the Presbyte rian church for some days past, con ducted by that devout and' earliest di vine, Rev. Mr. Phillips, havelmet with good results. The meetings closed on Monday night with j six conversions, and thirteen added by letters from other churches. This gives an addition of nineteen new members to the already flourishing congregation at Burgaw. We are sorry to hear that tho health of the town is not good just at present. As usual at this season of the! year, there is more or less suffering! from malarial attacks, and the physicians who practice at Burgaw are all kept busy. j' '1 The .Lawn irarty. Willing hands of loving women were bnsily employed yesterday in preparing for the Lawn party, on the corner of Dock and Third streets, giyen by the ladies of St. Thomas' 'Catholic Church last night, and when the hour for as sembling had arrived the : grounds presented an aimoit enchanting ap pearance. The beauty of the scene was heightened by the presence of the many guests,-who. as they sauntered about or gathered in groups, reminded one of some fairy, tale. Refreshments were there in plenty; tho music was good; the dancing, which was kept up until a late hour, was graceful and the hours glided ! by on rapid wings. The great feature of the occasion, however, and one in which there was a lively interest, was center ed iu who should be the recipient of the gold headed cane which was to be : pre sented to the most popular physician, as determined by vote. When the vote was taken Dr. Ei S. Pigtord was de clared "elected" by a fair majority. Tbc doctor was not preseat ai the time and there is no doubt that hef was agreeably surprised when the returns were all in and the vote3 bad been counted to find that ho was the lucky man! We congratulate the doctor on his success, of which he has just reason to be proud, as the physicians of Wil mington are all popular. . , : Another large consignment of Sash, Doors & Blinds at.
