I The Plumed Knight of the Mulli gan letters spoke in Detroit on Wednesday and it must be 'confess- ed to a large crowd. But he got somewhat mixed on local issues and closed abruptly. He was hissed as he left the hall. heartily - It is gravely stated that Mr. C. M. Jordan says that when, he was Pres ident of the Third National Bank he often signed his nam as; many as 15,000 times in one. day. To do this Mr. Jordan must have worked 10 hours a day and worked rapidly and steadily all of that time. There isn't a man living to-day and he never has lived, who can write his signature 10,000 times in ten hours of steady work. Try it for one hour and vou will believe us. A gigantic scheme, whereby the Republicans- proposed to colonize New York, has just been discover" ed. Matt Quay thinks Pennsylvania can spare 50,000 for New York, which is as much as to say and admit that the outlook now is for 50,000 majority forCleveland in that State. But it would be funny if this fifty thousand should prove not enough and if the withdrawal of that num ber from Pennsylvania should give that State to the Democrats also. We clip from yesterday's New York Star the folio wingreport of one $10,000 bet which was made in that city on Tuesday night and the ef forts of another of like amount which could find no takers: Colonel Thomas Swords, sergeant-at-armsofthe Republican Rational Committee, who tried to bluff sup porters of Cleveland and Thurman at the Hoffman House Tuesday night with an uncertified check for $10,000, strolled into the same resort again last night. , The Colonel again announced his desire to stake that amount on Harrison. David Gid eon, the well known supporting man, saia ne coum uui itbu a pudding pass" without tasting it. Very quicKly two crisp $ouu urns were placea in tfiiiy iawaras hands. This was forfeit money, the agreement being that the remaind er of the wager should - be paid to night between 9 and 10 o'clock. Just after Colonel Swords depart ed, Patrick Duffy of New Orleans offered to a risk another $10,000 on Cleveland. Though he flourished ten one-thousand-dollar bills for a half hour he could get no takers, Mr. Gideon, who deftly cooled Colonel Swords' betting ardor, is an ex -member of the Assembly. He is now actively engaged in the book making business, and has been as sociated with the firm of Daly & Co. Mr. Gideon is wealthy and owns the famous race horses French .Park, Radiant, Groomsman and Grena dier. . -. Some people are just as cross as a bear, they snap your head off when you happen to open your mouth. We cannot excuse them, for they have bad colds which makes them irritable, and are too mean to buy a bottle of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup which would restore their good na ture. LOCAL ISTEWS.

Skies Bright and Smiling. The Editor spent yesterday in Chatham' county. We found poli tics warm in that section. The Chathamites claim that their county is for Cleveland and Fowle, without doubt or surmise,and that by alarge majority. If we recollect rightly there was some 800 majority for Cleveland there in 1884. . This was a pheuominally larg majority but our friends there say that they hope to do at least as well this year. There have been a considerable number of white Republicans in this county but these are rapidly leaving the sinking ship. Judge Fowle's speech at Siler City seemed to turn many of these from the error of their ways. Col. Waddell spoke in Pittsboro one day recently and his effort was a magnificent one. A gentleman who was present and heard his speech says that a number Of white Repub licans were present and that he knows of four of these, who had not voted for a Democratic President since the war, who stated plainly that Col. Waddell's talk had con verted them and , that they would vote for Cleveland and. Fowle this year. Descended From the Croatans. The Scuffletown section of Robe son county is the home of a large number of descendants of the once famous and mush feared tribe of Croatan Indians. It was there that the remnants of the tribe found a home and where they have increased and multiplied. There is. a mixture of some white blood in the race but no negro blood. They hold them selves well aloof from the African race. Henry Berry Lowrey, the out lawed leader of the famous "Swamp Angels," was of this .tribe, as were also all of his followers. There are about two hundred males in the communityand they are all voters and they WW ftll tc n Ul&u, vote the Democratic ticket this Fall. They say that the Democrats have been very kind to them and that they can see that their interest is indissolubly associated with tle political ascen dancy of the white race in North Carolina. They, are now a sbber, steady, industrious people. They have their own schools, secured to them four years ago by legislative enactment, through the efforts of Hamilton McMillan, Esq., member pf the Iqwer hquse, and none but their qwn children are allowed to J attend these schools. . Lost hj Fire, We are sorry to hear of the loss sustained by Col. L. Cf Jones, Su perintendent of the Carolina Cen tral R R., by the destruction by fire of his carriage house, corn crib, &c, with the'ir contents, at Jonesboro parly yesterday morning. The loss includes carriage, buggy, harness, &c.; and 200 bushels of corn. The loss is nearly $1,000 and we are sorry to learn that there was no insurance. It is understood that the fire occur red at 1:30 p. m. and at that hour we were standing on the depot plat form, at Hamlet and speculating as to a distant glow which we -discovered in the sky and wondering if there was liot a fire somewhere. It is about 40 miles, as we take it, "as, the crow flies" and it is not-impossible that the glare from this confla gration could ; havw been seen iu Hairnet During the big fire in Charleston the 18th N.

We are very sorry to hear that Major Foster had another hemor rhage from the stomach last night, but are glad to state that he is much better to-day. He walked yesterday to Hilton and this may have been the active cause. In the midst of the flurry and flummery at the Market House Mr. Garrell is'as serene and sweet as a sunflower in June. He is in the same place and has got the meat and. continues to get . it. See ad. elsewhere. ' The third of the series of lectures now being delivered by Rev. Dr. Pritehard for the benefit of the Brooklyn Baptist Churcd and which are attracting so nuch attention, will be delivered in that church to night. The subject for this evening is "Naples, Vesuvius and Pompeii." In formation received this after noon is to the effect that Missouri Bowden, the colored girl who was shot by her sweetheart, Charles Bryant, is worse, and it is now fear, ed that she may die. Bryant is still at large. Col. Jno. J. Hedrick has added to his facilities by leasing and opening the store next East of the corner. There is a connection inl the. rear. The new place is painted a deep, dark, desperate green in f ront,a sure sign, we take it, that the Colonel must be green to sell such nice goods at such low prices. Mr. M. M. Katz who has recent ly made some notable v improve ments to his large dry goods house on Market street, is now having pre-! pared large plate glass show win dows for the front, to take thn places of those now there. We will speak more extensively of the im provements when they are com pleted. Grau's Comic Opera The indications are for a large and fashionable audience at the Opera House to-night, at the rendition of "The Black Hussar." The company come here well heralded and 'there is no doubt as to the merits of the entertainment. The Richmond and Petersburg papers, attest this fact. They have an excellent orchestra and there are said to be 40 artists, all good performers, in the troupe. They play here a short season only, two nights and a matinee, and ve think that they may safely count on large houses caeh time. To-night it is the 4Black Hussar." to-morrow afternoon it will be "The Queen's Lace Handkerchief,"and to-morrow night it will be "Erminie." If we recollect nightly, neither the "Black H ussar" or " Erminie" have ever been presented in Wilmim-ton. - - An Aiinirer u.tl 9 (Voblein.
