Who says that fhere will not be war between Russia and England? Not the Review, for to us all signs have point ed unmtstakeably in that direction.

Colored people are more successfully photographed, as a rule, than white people are, says an experienced photo erapher. the medium mulatto making the finest photograph in the world. Light complexions are hardest to take, and light colored clothing does not look well in pictures. In taking pictures ot animals the instantaneous process is best. Gats are the best sitters.

Mr. Archie McCollum, a young man wen-kiwwn here, and a 'iife-iong resi - dent of Wilmiogton, committed suicide by takiog laudanum last night, irom the effects oi which he died about 10 o'clock this morning. Tbe unfortunate man. who was only HQ voava nf man haul a!fal nrlfk hie I brother-in-law. the well known con tractor. Mr. Joseph H. Han by, on Sixth street, between Dock and Orange, for some years past, and was in his employ at the time of his death. He slept In a room directly over that occu pied by Mr. and Mrs. Hanby, and re tired early to bed. "Mr. Hanby was kept busy over his books and papers until a late hour and it was after '2 o'clock betore ho retired. Some little time after he laid down he heard a noise in Mr. McCollum'a room, as though he was moving about, but paid no attention to it. Some time after that, about balf-past 2 o'clock, Mrs. Hanby awoke and heard her brother breathing very heavily in bis room and alarmed thereat she sprang from the bed and rushed up stairs. There she found him lying on the bed in a stupor and with the odor of laudanum plainly to be perceived in the room. She at once alarmed her husband who rushed to her side, and who saw at once that the untortunate man had taken the dis posal of his life into his own .hands. Messages were immediately dispatched lor assistance and Mr. Jno. W. Reilly, Superintendent of the Wilmington Gas Light Company, who lives opposite, was the first to arrive. With his assis tance everything possible was done to revive Mr. McCollem. Hot coffee was at once prepared and the attempt was made to get it into his stomach but only a lew spoonfuls found their way down his throat. Messages were then dispatched for medical assis tance, and Mr. Reilly went off himself on this mission. By 4 o'clock he returned with Dr. Ellis, and shortly after Dr. Potter arrived on the scene. In the meantime everything possible was done to revive Mr. McCollum, all of the expedients known to the family haying been resorted Io. When the physicians arrived they brought a stomach pump and this was applied and the drug was removed, although the relief hoped for was not obtained, as the laudanum had by that time pen etrated the entire system. An electric battery was then applied and every ex pedient known to medical science was resorted to, but without avail. Father Moore was sent for and arrived about 6 o'clock, aud obtained the only gleam of consciousness which was manifested. This was not much, but it was suffi cient to justify the priest in adminis tering to tbe dying man tbe last rights oi the Church, and at about 10 o'clock this morning the spirit ot the unfortun ate man took its flight. There is no motive known to anyone for the rash act, and if it is other than was conveyed by a note left by the de ceased it must forever remain a sealed mystery. This note was found on a table near the bedside, aud it was written on the back of an envelope. It was not addressed to any one in par ticular. In it he merely said that he was tired of life and that he was going to leave the world. He said also that he was a member of St. Bridget's Church, in Memphis, Tenn., and a member of a benevolent order attached to that church aud that he wished to be buried here by Father Moore, with the rites ot the church. This will be ascorded htm.. Beyond the assertion contained in this note, which was written in a firm hand, carefully and deliberately, there is no motive known for tbe deed. Mr McCollum's relations in Mr. Hanby'a house were very pleasant with all. He had always been treated with great kindness and consideration. Nor was there necessarily any despondence as to business matters. He was employed by Mr. Hanby at fair wages and knew that he could always get work with him. There was nothing unusual in his manner yesterday or last night to excite alarm or uneasiness. He ate a hearty supper and sat lor a while talk- Ling pleasantly and as usual with the family and did not leave the house at all after tea. In bis room were lound three empty laudanum vials, the last near the bed with the cork near it, and with a few drops ot the drug re maining in the vial. Tbe label on the vaila waa that oi Northern wholesale dealers and it is probable that it was all purchased from some grocery on tbe hill, as tbe city druggists invariably place their labels on all they sell. Mr. McCollum was unfortunate in bis domestic relations and it is possible that this may have had some influence ' IU:vifv. ' io determining him to the rash act, but ims is no uiougtit to be tbe ca.e by tho9e.w.ho fcoew him best He was a married man but bad been separated from his wile for a number of years, Therc were thrH chiUlron hiif nn'vin -w I VP I w-,y m MeW a boy, survives, and ha has lived with his mother in this city. Mr. McCollum was, wo think, a na tive of Wilmington. During tue yel low ever epidemic in Memphis he was one of the volunteer nurses who gaN lantly and faithfully serve the people of that afflicted city during their severe visitation, and it was at that time that became a Church. member of St. Bridget's Z - Railroad Meeting. A meeting oi the corporators of the Wilmington, OnsloW & East Caioiina Railroad was held in pursuance of the call issued at the City Court Room this forenoon. There was not a large at tendance although there were corpora tors present from Pender Onslow and New Hanover counties. Tbe meeting was called to order by Col. Roirer MoOTe who stated its object and then called for nominations for Chairman Hon.-A. H. VanBokkeien nominated Mr. Hill E. Kingof Onslow, for Chairman and he was unanimously elected. Upon taking the Chair Mr. King expressed his thanks for the honor in a tew briet remarks and then called for nominations for secretary. Col Roger Moore; nominated Mr. Wm. Calder for secretary and he was elected unanimously. The Chair then announced the meet ing as duly organized and ready for business. Hen. A. H, Van Bokkelen said that the object tor which tbe meeting was called together might possibly have been attained by tbe presence of three ot tbe corporators, but thought it much better that a large number should be in attendance. He spoke of the impor tance of the work and would like to hear what Pender and Onslow counties would do in the matter. Maj. C. W, McClammy, Jr., in be half of Pender, said that if Wilmington would build tbe county line the latter would be sure to carry it through to Onslow county, and that he felt assured that tbe people of Onslow would continue the road to New River. He would like to knowf so as to be able to tell the people ot his section, what Wilmington proposed to do toivards building the road. Hon. A. H, Van Bokkelen, in reply, stated that the people of Wilmington ought to furnish $100,000 towards the enterprise to show to Pender and On low that there was earnestness in the business and be further stated that without doubt that amount would be raised here. He also made bumc very practical suggestions as to having the management of all matters connected with the building of the road conducted on strictly business principles. Ho then moved that a committee of live corporators be appointed a committee te act for the corporators, to whom shall be delegated all the powers con veyed by section 4 ol the act of incor poration. Pending action upon this motion there was considerable discussion as to the legality of tbe acts of such a com mittee unless appointed at a meeting where a majority of the corporators were present, but it appearing plainly manifest irom the act that a majority was not requited to make the acts of such a committee legal, tbe motion was adopted. It was then moved and carried that the committee should consist of one member from Onslow, one Irom Pen der and three from Wilmington, and tbe following were appointed on that com mittee. Onslow H. E. Kin. Pender J. T. Foy. Wilmington A. EL VanBokkeien, James B. Huggins and Roger Moore During the meeting appropriate speeches, which meant business, were mado by Hon. A. H. VanBokkeien, Col. Roger Moore, Maj. C. W. Mc Clammy. Mr. E Murrill, Mr. . H. Currie-and Mr. Wm. Calder. There was a Question as to what Onsiow would do towards forwarding; tbe enterprise when Mr E. Murrill. ' that county, said that much would de pend upon where the road terntinaU j ed that a certain amount would be given if the termination of the road j should be at Snead's Ferry ; that a larg- j er amount would be given if it should terminate at Jacksonville, but that the largest amount would be secured by extending the road to Richlands, which was by tar the richest township in the county. It was then suggested that 1886 NO 91. j the commiUee for that county be pro- vided with three lists on for eah of Pcef famed more easily determined where thccf d sbonld end by the amofiit tubscribd I for t a kumiix nia.-nj I - - " mm m mm mm X f I bore being io furlber 'ousineas the mectii.a4urugd, Bsafe flail.

Giles & Murchison. on Front street, will be very much enlarged and improved and converted into a first class boarding bouse on a large scale Col. K. M. Mur.caison, who owns- the property , also owns the property next North of it and contemplates extending the building so as to occupy that lot. He will also have two stories added to the rear ex tension ol the building so that it wiil be of the same height as the front Tho plans are all arranged nd there will be forty rooms in the building when com pleted aud the arrangements will be such'that a much larger number may be added should it be dcterirrincd to convert the.edifice at some future day into a hotel. Elections of Officers. At an election of officers of tbe Brooklyn Sunday Schooi, held la3t Sunday afternoon, the following officers were elected to serve for the ensuing year: Superintendent J. W.

This play, which will be produced at the Opera House in this city on the night of tbe 23rd lost., has proved im mensely popular wherever it has been presented. In speaking of the play the Kansas City Journal says : "The Two Johns" drew a large house at Gillis Opera House last night, and the auditorium was filled with the sound ot laughter during the entire per formance. The play was written to make people laugh and it did not fall short of its mark, it is popular be cause replete with absurdities. It will be repeated this evening and to mor row nisht, with the U3usl Wednesday matinee. PerHouai . McClammy Maj. C. W was in the city to-day. Mr. J. A.
