Drexel, the banker, who directed that, after the payment of cer tain small speerfio legacies, one-tenth of his estate should go to a number of Catholic charities which he named The executors by the will were given a year i n which to settle the estate's affaiis. It is stated that Mr. Drexel estate will amount to $10,000,000. Speaking of the Denocratie rush lor office, so frequently alluded to by the organs, a Cabinet officer informs Edi tor McClure that there are not recom mendations or names on file in the de partments for half the offices that are now vacant. The new sixpence rate for telegrams to all.parts of Great Britain is not such a reduc ion as at ffrst appears. The present rate is one shilling for twenty words, exclusive of the address. Un der the new law the address is counted and charged for, and the minimum twelve instead of twenty words.

The Daily Reyie, VOL. IX. WILMINGTON. N. C. SATURDAY. MAY 2. 1885. NO. 101. An English clergyman has sent to each member of the House of Lords a copy of a pamphlet written by him proving that the British disasters in the Soudan are a consequence ot God's anger with their lordships for not re jecting more emphatically the bill legalizing marriage with a deceased wife's sister. People generally, nod even those who m;y be termed slf-ady readers and CP se observer?, neve but. a taint con ception of the magnitude and influence the press of thia country has attained. From a careful exomination of the ad vance page3 of the 1885 edition of the American Newspaper Directory, issued May 1st, by Geo. P Rowell & Co., of New York, appears that there are 14, 147 newspapers and periodicals pub lished iu the United States and Canada; of these the United States has 12,973. an average of one paper for every 3,867 persons. In 1884 the total number tif newspapers was less by 823 than at present, and while the gain this year is not so marked as in some previous years, it is still considerable. Kansas shows the greatest increase, the num ber being 78, while Illinois follows with a gain of 77. It is curious to notice that New York, the scene of so much political activity during the last cam paign, should have only about one-third as many uewspapers as the state ol Pennsylvania. As an ao index to the comparative growth and prosperity of different sections f the country, espec ially the Territories, the number of new papers forms all interesting study, and may well occupy the attention of the curious.

The attendance last night at the Opera House to listen to thfr music of the Wizard Oil Company was not near so large as upon the former occasion. The threatening aspect of the weather probably deterred many from attending. Rev. Dr. Pritchard will preach at the First Baptist Church to-morrow morn ing upon "The Non-conformity of the World." At night his subject will be "The Ascension of Christ." The ordi nance ot baptism will be administered at the night service to several persons. Disastrous Fire. A report reached here to-day that a fire broke out at Elizabethtown, Bladen county, which was quite disastrous in its results. There is no definite news from there, but it is thought thai nearly the entire business portion of the town was destroyed. Discussion on Baptism. Rev. J. P. King will occupy his pulpit to-morrow (Sunday) night at 8 o'clock at the Second Baptist Church to discuss the subject of Baptism in answer to the recent argument made by Rev.

An old colored man'named Thomas Davis, living on Sixth street, between Swan and Nixon, while going to his work this morning at Messrs. Parsley & Wiggins' mill, was taken suddenly sick just as he was entering through the gate leading to the mill. Help was summoned and they started to convey the sick man to his home, but he died before reaching there. He had been in the employ of Messrs. Parsley & Wig gins for many years. It is supposed that the cause of death was heart dis ease. riie Atlantic Coast Line Pur chase of the Richmond, Fred ericksburg: & Potomac It. It. Yesterday's Petersburg Index-Appeal gives publication to a runlor to the effect that the Virginia & Carolina R R. had been sold to the syndicate of the Atlantic Coast Line and a despatch from Petersburg to the Charleston News and Courier, on the same subject, is as follows : It is stated here that te Virginia and Carolina Railroad, which runs from Ridgeway, N. C, through Petersburg to Richmond, has been sold to the syn dicate owning the Atlantic Coast Line railroads. Only a few months ago the city of Petersburg exchanged $100,000 worth of her bonds tor a like amount of Virginia & Carolina Railroad bonds to aid in the construction ot the road, and also gave a bonus ot $50,000 tor the purchase ot the right of way through the city and the erection of depot build ings within the corporate limits. Maj- W. i. dreen, chief engineer, and hi. A. there was every appearance of a terrific storm, but it blew over without doing any damage. More Arrests. Jane Hoiden, colored, who lives on McRae street, between Hanover and Brunswick, was arrested lo-day upon the cbarae of receiving stolen goods knowing them to have been stolen. She is a daughter of Lizzie Riley, who was arrested as onG of the sang of shop lifters oh Thursday. Officer Strode is yel on the lookout for more stolen property and to day succeeded in fiuding a picture and a book which have not been identified. Changed Owners. The steamer A. P. Hurl, which has tor so many years been known ia the waters of the Cape F'ear as a regular packet between this city and Fayette ville, has been sold and the new owners will take possession when she next arrives in Wilmington. Messrs. Wpody & Currie. who have become part own ers of the boat, will in the future be the agents in this city. The other owners are principally in Fayetteville, but we were unable to obtainheir names. The boat will continue to be run under its new ownorship and management, from this city to i'ayetteville, as it has been running in the past. Vital Statistics. Dr. F. W. Potter, city physician, re ports the following as the number of deaths during the month ended April 30th, 1885: White males 4; females 3. Total whites 7. Of this number 5 were adults and two were children. Colored males 16: females 9. Total colored 25. Of this number 14 were adults and 11 were children, lhis mates the total num ber of deaths white and colored 32, but from this number should be taken 4 still born, 2 who died from extreme old age, 4 drowi.ed and 2 poisoned, making 12 who did not die of disease, leaving 20 whose deaths were caused by sickness. This is a remarkably good shewing. State Detitai Association. The eleventh annual session of the North Carolina State Dental Associa tion will be held at Charlotte June 2nd. 3rd and 4th.

It has been the invariable decision cf this Department, sustained by tbe Attorney-General, that county, city or town governments have no. right to collect a tax on drummer?, whether operating with State license er not. have tendered their resignations, to '.ake effect on the 15th of May. The facts in the case are that the Richmond, Frederick-burg & Potomac K. R. has been purchased by the At lantic Coast Line. This has been the property of Mr. Moncure Robinson, father of Col Jaha M. Robinson, and as the same gentleman is also largely interested in the Virginia & Carolina R. R , it is likely that this latter road has been included in the sale. The Atlantic Coast Line have long desired to get possession of the R. F. & P. R R. and their success in this respect gives them an unbroken line of railway from Charleston in tbe South to Quan tico in the North. At this latter point they meet tbe Pennsylvania R. B.
