Oner of Judge Black's hits in his

"Mr. Ingersoll is much accused of plagia

without doubt original. It never entered

THE CAROLINA CENTBAL. ,
We have refrained from publish
ing any of the many rumors that
have been current during the past
ten days concerning the Carolina
Central Railroad, preferring to wait
until we oould give something which
we knew to be definite and reliable.
We are now enabled to state that
negotiations are pending between
Capt. D. R. Murchison,' of this city,
and Mr. John M. Robinson, repre
senting the Seaboard & Roanoke
Railroad, for the sale of a large por
tion of the stock held by Capt. Mur
chison in the Carolina Central.
If this sale is effected, as it proba
bly will be, it will be coupled with
guarantees that there shall be no dis
crimination in rates against Wil
mington or any other North Carolina
city or town; that the Carolina Cen
tral will - be extended into South
Carolina, and probably in another di
rection; and that Capt. Murchison
shall have the management of the
road as long as he sees fit to occupy
the position of President.
Capt. Murchison made repeated ef
forts, here and elsewhere, to raise the
money necessary to build branches
or feeders to the main line; but fail
ing in this, and with the Carolina
Central cut off by the Richmond &
Danville combination at Charlotte,
he could see no prospect of an ex
tension of the road except in a sale
as indicated above to parties who
had the necessary means to carry on
the work.
The fact that Capt. Murchison will
retain the managemeut of the road
is a sufficient guarantee that all that
is possible will be done to protect the
interests of Wilmington.
The extraordinary boom irT Con
federate bends still perplexes the un
initiated and the speculating mania
just now is most memorable. What
it all means is the disturbing inquiry.
AVe have inclined to the opinion for
some days that it is a sort of wild
cat business, that will end in many
persons getting clawed severely. The
Treasury Department is as much per
plexed as the press or the people. A
Washington special to the New York
Tribune says:
'It is known that at least ten large fine
steamers belonging to the Confederacv
were in foreign ports when the war closed.
Machinery for rifling cannon, said to have
cost a million and a half dollars, and 250
chronometers captured by the famous
Semmes are among the effects, the exist
ence of which was known to our Govern
ment soon after the close of the war. Aside
from these it was supposed that a large
amount of money had been deposited in the
different banks in London by the Confed
erate authoritiesjand by private individuals
then in the South. TTie Secretary of the
Treasury has on more than one occasion
made futile attempts to get some clew to
this property and to obtain possession of it.
Agents have been sent to England for this
purpose, but they have never succeeded in
recovering a single dollar of the millions
said to have existed."

The Republicans will attempt to

The Fire Alarm.
Captain F. G. Robinson, Chief of the
Fire Department, in his report to the Board
of Aldermen for the month of October,
very justly remarks : "The want of a
proper fire alarm is very detrimental to the
efficiency of the Fire Department. Your
attention is again respectfully called to this
fact, with the hope that something may be
done at once to remedy this evil."
It is argued in favor of the proposition
to have the fire alarm removed to the
premises of the Howard Relief Fire Engine
Company No. 1, on Fourth, between Market
and Dock streets, that it is one of the most
elevated positions in the city, that the lot is
the property of the city, that it will be con
venient to the various engine and hook and
ladder halls, and that its removal there will
obviate all differences of opinion as to the
propriety of its connection in any way with
the City Hall.

meet her on the street at night, knock her
down and beat her after she was down.
He was found guilty and ordered to pay a
fine of one penny and the costs. From
this decision he appealed, and was ordered
to. give bond in the sum of $100 for his ap
pearance at the next term of the Criminal
Court, but subsequently withdrew the ap
peal. The same defendant was next arraigned
on a peace warrant, sworn out by his wife,
and was required to pay the costs and give
bond in the sum of $50 to keep the peace
until fhe first Monday in February.
Personal and Theatrical.
Mr. P. Heinsberger has on exhibition a
number of photographic representations of
Mr, James M. Brown, of this city, now
with Haverly's Original Mastodon Min
strels, in his various female characters
which he plays in connection with that
troupe. Mr. Brown makes a very hand
some and stylish "lady," and few unac
quainted with the facts would take him, in
any of the characters, to be other than what
he represents. The costumes, too, are
rich and showy. The troupe to which he is
attached is expected to visit this city some
time during January or February next.
Improvements.
Under the direction of Chief of Police
Brock, a good sawdust road has been con
structed on Red Cross street, commencing
at Seventh street and extending to the bridge
over the branch or ditch just beyond the
City Hospital, going in the direction of
Pine Forest Cemetery. A nice ballast side
walk has also been constructed on Red
Cross street, commencing at Fifth and ex
tending to Ninth street. These improve
ments will result in considerable con
venience to persons visiting the cemeteries.
The Ordinance Relating to Animals.
The new ordinance relating to animals.
adopted by the Board of Aldermen at their
meeting on Monday night, provides that no
cow or calf, ox or bull, hogs, pigs, goats or

also passed instructing the Chief of Police
to see that the ordinance is .strictly carried

Extracts from the Diary of a Wllmlng-

: We give the closing portions of the diary
we have been publishing at intervals for a
week or two past, and hope it has been of
some interest to our readers. It has by no
means been the intention of the writer to
give a history of the epidemic, but only ex
tracts from his daily summing up of mci
dents and reflections - which most forcibly
impressed themselves upon his mind at the
time : ;

to $16 per bushel, without buyers.

weather has been warm. There were
twenty -one deaths the past week. The
fever has not disappeared and people con
tinue to come to town and spend the day.
Well, strange things will happen there

November 18. Absentees are warned not
to come home; there is some little fever
here, we had hoped it was killed out, but
want another cold snap. To-day is chury,
sky looks like snow, wind from the north,
much cooler than any day of the week
past. Troops are expected here and

heavy frost and ice.

Information was received here late yes

and a younger sister had been seriously in

near the Sound, by the horse running
away and throwing them out of the buggy,
Mr. W. H. Sprunt and Dr. Thos. F. Wood

removed. On arriving there they found
Miss Snrunt not seriouslv hurt, but Mr,
Sprunt very badly injured. One leg'being
so badly broken as to require amputation.
Mr. W. H; Sprunt came back to the city for
Dr. Love, to assist Dr-Wood in performing
the operation, and they! returned immediate
ly. No further particulars could be ascer
tained as our informant could not
be detained, but we sincerely trust
that Mr. Sprunt's injuries may not
prove so serious as the necessarily
hurried examination of the surgeon
indicated. The horse was caught not

Will the ladies of Wilmington lay aside
for awhile the cares that are so absorbing,
and listen to a few loving words from one
who, in claiming to be one of them, feels it
to be an honor and a pleasure? We have
the poor among us, dear friends, as our
blessed Lord foretold and He has made it
the duty of His followers to share with the
needy such gifts as He has bestowed upon
us a duty which in its fulfillment brings
gladness to our own hearts. Who has not
tasted the delight of being able to ease the
burden of a troubled heart by timely aid in
seasons of distress? That we may aid each
other in doing this vou are all invited to meet
together on Thursday, (to-morrow) in Hook
& Ladder Hall at 11 o'clock a. m., when
we hope to have a very short address, with
prayer, and strengthen one another by adding
each our little contribution, to be kept for
those necessary uses, under the care of
proper officers. It has been our habit to
provide as funds may allow, flannel,
blankets, fuel, shawls, food, &c, for dis
tribution or loan as necessity may require.
We ask you all to come and help -us. The
sick and the poor must not be left to starve
or perish. May the loving Master fill your
hearts with compassion and lead you to
bring gifts into his storehouse for his needy
ones. President.

they indefinitely postponed consideration of
the removal of the obstruction to the public
