The University of Michigan has

- Dr. ; R. B. Haywood, one of the
most eminent physicians in the
State, died at his residence in Ral
eigh on Wednesday night. .
J. II.-Bass, now in New York, is
known as the "ossiGed jnan." He
i.58 years of age, blind, and a living
skeleton, weigh ing about 70 pounds.
His limbs are so ossiGed that he is
perfectly helpless, and all his. body
seems to be slowly fuming to bone.

Georgia's leading lawyer appears
to be Capt. Henry Jackson. Three
fees that he recently received are
said to have aggregated $75,000. He
has, it is reported, just declined an
offer of $20,000 a1 year to go to New
York and become counsel for an in
surance company.
. .
Rear Admiral Luce will not be re
tired from service on account of age
until March 21, 1880. Luce has a
fine war record. He was in command
of the monitor Nantucket during
the attacks on Forts Sumter and
Moultrie in 18tf3. He also did good
service on the Savannah when in
command of the Pontiac'the follow
ing year.
What'is the use of wasting time
and breath over the tariff bill in the
Senate? It is a foregone conclusion
that the bill will be passed and that
nO amendment offered by a Demo
crat will be accepted. The bill will
probably go through the Senate by
a strictjarty vote and the .Demo
crats might just as well keep still
and let the abortion alone.; . It will
"die dead': in the House.
The New York Herald showed its
I usual wonderful journalistic enter
prise in reporting; the eclipse. Its
correspondents were pqsted all along
the line of the. sun's shadow and in
an hour's time the fact's were col
lated and in type. In fact," there
were two eclipses, but the Herald's
eclipse was the biggest. The moon
eclipsed the sun but the Herald
eclipsed not only the-zSwra but all of
the other big dailies.
The beauty craze-has revolution
ized society and Dr, Bull's Cough
Syrup has revolutionized the treat
ment of cough, and colds.

assortment of Mouldings to select

We are glad to hear that Prof.
VanLear, who is quite sick, is now
better, although he has not yet been
able to leave his room.
The walls of St. Andrew's Church
! corner of Campbell and v Fourth
streets, are completed and the work
I' men are now on the roof.
So far as we know there will be
nothing-at the Opera House next

A Good Idea.
On and "after Tuesday next a
through sleeper for Raleigh will be.
attached to the night train leaving
here for Charlotte ou the C. C. R. R.
There will be no change of cars at
Hamlet, no waking, up inK the mid
dle of the night to change sleepers.
Passengers can go to sleep at Wil
mington, as it were.; and wake at
Raleigh. This hew arrangement
will prove a great convenience to
the traveling public.
Sometliinc Sorely Needed .
What is needed in Wilmington at
this time, and sorely needed, is a fire
boat on the river. Every time a fire
occurs anywhere on the river front,
or on the river, this fact is borne
forcibly upon the minds of our peo
ple. W have heard it asserted as
Irobable that the fire of February,
1886, might have ccn . averted had
there been a fire; boat on the river,
ready for just such an emergency.
Certain it is that such a boat would
have been of great assistance at that
time and if she could not have
checked the fire in its incipiency
(which is not unlikely) would have
rendered a great help in checking
its spread. Had a boat like the
Marie been prepared at that time to
grapple with the fireshe could have
done then what the' firemen could
not do; she could have approached,
the fire from the rear the river
and fought it all of the Way up! to
the railway depots. , The. wind, it
will be remembered, was on that oc
casion from the Southwest, and
blowing almosjt half a gale, and ft
was impossible for the firemen to
fight in the front of the flames. We
should think that for. a reasonable
sum an agreement could be made
with. Capt. Williams, of the Marie,
and the owner'of the- btfat, whereby
she could be supplied withhose.and
kept ready to move, at' any time,
whenever her services might be
needed in an emergency,
Distressing News.
News was received here last even
ing of a fearful and distressing ac
cident which occured at Clinton
yesterday forenoon, whereby four
lives were lost. The Clinton Cau
casian f urnishes us with the f ollfcw
ing report:
At 10:30 o'clock this morning,' the
boiler of Col. John Ashford's Hoop
Factory, on Fayetteville street, ex
ploded with fearful and fatal results.
The explosion was terrific, shaking
every building in town. In a few
seconds hundreds of- people had
gathered at the scene of the wreck.
The debris was hastily removed by !
excited and tremulous hands.
The bodies of Col. Ashford, his!
two sons James and Pender and
Lofton Pugh, colored, were found
in a mangled condition. Life was
extinct when James Ashford. and
the negro were found,. , Col, Ashford
and his son Pender are in a very
critical condition, though receiving
all the attention that medical skill
and tine nursing can afford.
Mr. H.H. Britt, who was working
upon his residence at some dis
tance, was badly scalded and other
wise injured. - It is one of the sad
dest afflictions thair hs ever befel
Clinton, nd our sympathy, mingled
with the deepest r pain and sorrow,
goes out to the bereaved relatives.
Later, Pender Ashford is dying,
and there is- very little hope for
Col. Ashford. His sufferings are
most agonizing.
A special from Clinton in this
morning's tar reports the. death of
Col.. Ashford, as well as hisont Pen
der Ash ford,. --
It was u most distressing accident
and Iwa plunged the whole town of
Clinton in grief. Col. Ashford 'was
well known' here, where he - was
highly esteemed as an honorable,
upright man and au enterprising,
public spirited citizen, and many ex
pressions, of syuipathyj have be$j
heard. V .

Something About Oar Doctors.
It is still '"distressingly healthy'!
here. The physicians have not near
as much to do as they had last
Winter and Spring. Still, they are
not complain i ng. They are a funny
profession anyway and there is more
real philanthropy among them than
is generally tnougnt. Tne more
sick there are the more will they
thrive and prosper and yet they not
only warmly endorse every measure
of sanitary reform but these very
reforms originate with them. They
not only fight disease in the sick
chamber bnt they -fight it on the
highway. With- them: indeed-; an
ounce of preventive is worth a ton
of cure, notwithstanding the fact
that it is the cure and not the pre
ventive which pays them their fees
The sanitary measures adopted here
last Summer, the good effects of
which are visible in the mortuary re"
turns is dnex literally, to their per
sistenc insistence.
