It will at once be evident to your honor able bodv that it is only during tbe cold months that much of the work needed to put the city in sanitary condition can- be. done. Excavating, turning up the soil to clean ditches, the renewal of sewer and gas pipes, the excavation of pnvy sinas, ana the like, are dangerous to be done in the hot months. By commencing now, and working steadily day by day, mere will oe no hurrying and no panicky feeling about our sanitary surroundings wnen yeiiow fever is announced in nistant ports, xne work cannot be done in a hurry, and means are necessary to carry it on. ihe new Hanover Board of Health therefore offer these suggestions, and urge upon you the necessity of prompt action. iRespectf ully, your ob't serv't, J.

Coroner Inquest tn the Case of Jokn Taylor, whose sis all was Fractured at tne Fire Sunday nomine John Taylor, the colored man who was struck on the head by one of the members of the First Ward Bucket Company, at the time of the fire on Sunday morning last, died yesterday during the forenoon, from the effects of the blow, after lingering in ajf unconscious and partially paralyzed con dition np to the time of his death. Coroner Hewlett summoned a Jury and proceeded to hold an inquest, and the latter, with R. F. Eyden as foreman, examined a number of witnesses who were bound over for their appearance at Court. The inquest was not completed when the jury adjourned to meet this morning at 10 o'clock, at which time other aafenesses who have been sum moned will testify. Dr. J. O. Walker, assisted by Dr. T. 8. Burbaak, held a post mortem examination, and found the skull of deceased fractured, the membrane surrounding the brain rup- tured, and a great effusion of blood, which I caused death. George Hayes and Daniel Lucas, colored, testified that the fatal blow was struck by John Grady. Willis Bradley testified that be saw two men strike at deceased, and that be pointed out the man that he thought hit Taylor to the policeman who arrested him. Policeman Allen testified that he arrested a man by the name of Daniel Lucas, who nointed out another man named John Grady, who he said struck deceased. John Williams, colored,, whose flat lay alongside of Taylor's, testified that he saw two men striking at Taylor with poles, and saw one pole strike him; saw the policeman seize one of tbe men who were striking at Taylor, and then let him loose and seize John Grady and take bim off. Willis Bradley, colored, testified that be saw two men strike at Taylor with poles, but didn't know which one hit bim; point ed out the man to the policeman that he thought struck the blow, and tbe latter' ar rested him. Several other witnesses were examined, but they knew nothing of the affair. The lUldEeta Xo-BKorrow. The wonderful "Midgets," General Mite and Major Atom, who have been delighting the good people of Raleigh for a week or so east, and where tbey have created a perfect furore of interest and admiration, will appear in this city for the first time to morrow, when they will give both evening and afternoon rseeptions at the City Hall, to which our officials and influential citi zens will be invited. They will then give exhibitions afternoon and evening for a week, and if tbe same interest is mani fested here that bas greeted them elsewhere in their travels It is probable that they will remain two or three weeks. These are said to be the most marvelous specimens of humanity now on the face of the globe, and to be properly appreciated must be seen. Their first appearance ex cites an interest that never flags. In Raleigh and other places where they have appeared they have met with enthusiastic receptions at the hands of the public, who are struck with wonder and awe when tbey gaze upon these human be ings of such infantesimal proportions. Re ferring to their appearance in Washington city, the Post says: "From White House to Capitol, and to the four corners of the city, the excitement regarding the wonderful Midgets has reached an intense fever heat. Such extraordinary human wonders are be yond all description, and to believe the real ity one must see them, tor no language can everybody is flocking to their daily recep tions." m mm Super lor Court. No cases of interest to tbe public were disposed of by tbe Superior Court yes terday. The Sheriff was ordered to summon a special venire of seventy-five good and lawful men to serve as jurors in the case of Allen Mathis, colored, whose trial for mur der comes off to-day. This case was removed from Pender, to this county, and the defendant is indicted for the murder of one Reuben Herring, colored, in that county a year or two ago.

Alleged Assault with Intent to ill A Desperate Straggle Preliminary Examination, Sen After several unimportant cases had been disposed of, yesterday morning, at the City Hall, that of C. Z. Castin was called This defendant was charged with commit ting an assault with a deadly weapon, with intent to kill J. R. Bolton. The testimony was to the effect that the two men were to gether during the evening, were drinking to some extent, and finally went together to the Rock Spring Hotel, where Bolton was boarding, and the two retired to the room, being at the time apparently perfect ly friendly. Reaching their room Bolton, according to his statement under oath, die? robed himself and retired. Castin remained up, and a conversation Commenced between them in reference to a horse trade that had occurred some tune since between Bol ton and Castin's brother, during which the former remarked to the latter that he didn't I think his brother served biro, right. One word brought on another, and the firs thins Bolton anew Castin was' upon him and cutting at him with his knife. Officer Watkins testified to tbe effect that be beard tbe struggle going on in tbe room, and, accompanied by Officer Mayer, forced the door open and entered. The policemen else heard cries proceeding from tbe ioom, and before the door, which was locked, bad been broken open, tbey beard a noise as of some one struggling for breath. The voice called "Mr. Lee 1 Mr. Lee I Police 1" Upon entering the room tbey found the light out and Castin astrad die of Bolton on tbe bed, -choking him The parties were separated, a light having in the meantime been procured, when it was found tfcat both men were very bloody, and that Bolton was severely cut on the throat, left wrist and two or three other places, and was at the time speechless and almost dead. The weapon, an ordinary pocket-knife, was found with tbe blade broken short off at tbe handle Mr. Lee, tbe proprietor of the bouse, Mr. R. C. Johnson, who had a bed in a room adioinire that occupied by the twonen, and the clerk of the house, Mr. A. E. Johnson, were examined and corrobo rated much of the above. Mr. R. E. John son beard tbe noise in the room, but didn't know what to make of it at first. He met Castin as he was coming out of the room with tbe police, and seeing bim so bloody, he exclaimed: "For God's sake, Chauncy, what is the matter!" Castin said something about the cause of tbe difficulty, and closed with the remark: "If the knife hadn't broke, if I hadn't killed him d n oldJHan nab!" Others heard him use the same lan guage, or words to that effect Castin, in his statement to the Court, claimed that he acted only in self-defence, that it was his .voice.heard calling for a pc liceman, that it was Bolton who locked the door, made an assault upon bim, &c. ; but there was no corroborative testimony to that effect. At the conclusion of the investigation tbe Mayor ordered the defendant, C. Z. Castin, to give a justified bond in the sum of $800 for his appearance at the next term of tbe Criminal Court, which was furnished. Both of the men are residents of Pender county John L.

It is a real istic representation of phases of life inci dent to the mining regions of tbe far West Although it deals, of necessity, almost ex clusively with characters, as rough and rugged as the mountain gulches which sur round them, still nothing coarsely vxdgar enters into ihe details of their actions. Strong in dramatic effects and powerful in the de lineations of individual characters, it pic tures to thejmind the crude material capable of refinement.

WINSLOW ?-As this auestiou I is frequently asked, we will simply say that she is a lady who for upwards of thirty years has untiringly devoted her time and talents as a Female Physician and nurse, principally among children, hhe has 1 especially studied the constitution and wants of this numerous class, and, as a result of this effort, and practical Knowledge ootamea in a lifetime spent as none and physician, she has compounded a Sooth ing 8yrnp for children teething. It operates like magic giving rest and health, and Is moreover sure to regulate the bowels. In consequence of this ar ticle Mrs. Winslow is becoming world renowned as a benefactor ef the race; children certainly do bub up and bless her; especially is this the case in this city.
