In 1881, there were 2,627,526 bar
rels of malt liquor sold in New York
city alone and it was not a good year
for imbibing either. Philadelphia
drank hard, but it could not hold a

"Milwaukee, Brooklyn. Boston and Cin

000 and 681,000, there being a difference of
only 375 barrels between the sales of Bos
ton and Cincinnati, in which 'the Hub' has
the lead. The total sales of malt liauors
for the United States for the year were
15,885,749 barrels, and there were five
States Arkansas. Florida. Maine. Missis

Carolina, each report but four barrels sold

obtained the elder's revolver and fired it off
in the bouse. When remonstrated with for
the act and being asked what he meant, he
again fired, and exclaimed that that was
W;hat he meant. Whether the latter or
either of the shots was aimed at the prisoner

then ensued, and knives were used quite
freely, the younger brother receiving a
wound or wounds in the breast, that caused
almost instant death, and not a shot from a
pistol as the first report stated. John
Baker, the slayer, immediately surrendered
himself to the authorities, when it was
found that he had received several wounds
on his person from a knife, but although
painfully injured he is not dangerously so. "
Gov. Colquitt has determined not
to call the Georgia Legislature in ex

He says "The State will lose none of

State just as well as if he was elected
from a district." Who creates the

Methodist Advance : The second
quarterly meeting of Golds boro Station was
held last Saturday and Sunday. Rev J.
Jfi. Mann, presiding JUder or JNewbern Lis-

preached a series of very effective sermons.
- The Ashboro Courier contains
the following sad intelligence: We are
pained to chronicle the fact that Miss Katie
Craven, daughter of Dr. Craven, of Trinity
College, who was so badly burned a few
months ago at Greensboro Female College,
is still in a precarious condition.
Durham Plant: We regret to
learn that Samuel H. Hughes, the veteran
educator of Orange county, is suffering
with a severe stroke of paralysis.
About two-thirds of the voters of Durham

Raleigh Visitor: The large
residence now being erected by Maj. W.
W. Vass. north of the Capitol, is rapidly
approaching completion and will be quite

Elizabeth Citv Falcon : A dif-
fioiiltv occurred at the railroad depot yes
'temoOQ between two colored men
named Peter Jacocks and Charles Jones,
during which Jacocks was cut witth a cot
ton hook. A white baby was found
to-day in a nude condition, near the garden
fence of Allen Dozier's widow. It was
taken in the house and dressed. Pretty
soon after a white lady called and asked
the woman if there was not a child in her
house, and when answered in the affirma
tive, she asked that it might be given her,
which was .done. Strange !
- Goldsboro Messenger : The ne
gro Frank Best, stabbed during a fracas at
a recent negro festival or carousel near
Best's Station, died on Saturday last from
the effects of his wounds. In all our
newspaper experience we have never been so
much annoyed with complaints about the
mails as has been the case for several
months past. The colored mail robber,
Jim Hatcher, was arraigned before United
States Commissioner Cogdell on Monday,
but waived a preliminary examination and
was committed to jail in default of bail.
. We learn that a colored train hand on
the Midland Railroad was severely crushed
between the cars near Einston on Tuesday.
Three ribs were broken and it is feared that
his injuries may prove fatal.

Judere Merrimon. Commissioners Arm-
field and Robinson, etc.. etc. It states,
also, that all these assertions will be made
erood m the nendme trial in the t edera

without resulting in immediate suits for
libel, is a mystery to us.

of the city is now remarkably good. The

all, to be considerable doubt as to whether
the Legislature will be convened in special

to consider the matter.
Raleigh Advocate: The New
ton circuit has one thousand members
When Rev. P. F. Stamey took charge of it,
a little over two years ago, it had six
hundred members. The Winston (N. C.)
Methodists are going to have a new church
sixty by one hundred feet built upon the
site of the present edifice. They expect it
to cost $15,000. Oxford is a town of
about 1.800 inhabitants, well situated in a
thrifty section of country. Just in the
midst of that belt producing the finest yel
low-leaf tobacco, it has become a centre of
trade and enioys remarkable prosperity.
The tobacco men of Oxford, however, are
only leaf dealers, and do not manufacture
to any appreciable extent. Real estate has
reached remarkably strong prices, as is true
in nearly all the tobacco towns of the State;
and the completion of the Uxtord and nen
derson Railroad has increased the prosper
ity of the town. There are fifteen families
connected with the Presbyterian church;
twenty with the Episcopal ; thirty with the
Baptist, and forty-nine with the Methodist.
Charlotte Observer: At a meet
ing of the Hornets' Nest Riflemen night be
fore last steps were taken with a view to
inaugurate a movement for the proper cele
bration of the approaching anniversary of
the 20th of May. Miss Sallie Moose,
the lady assaulted by Ben Withers, in Lem
ley township, last Sunday, died Monday, a
few hours after Dr. Wilder reached her.
She was conscious up to the time of her
death, and when told by Dr. Wilder that
she could not live, she replied that she
knew it. She was asked by several parties
who assaulted her, and she replied that it
was Ben Withers; that he bad attempted to
rape her, f ailing in which he knocked her
down and cut her throat. A telegram
was received from Atlanta yesterdey morn
ing conveying the sad intelligence to his
relatives and friends in this city, that Mr.
Bob Griffith, passenger conductor on the
Air Line, had met with a terrible accident
in Atlanta, while coupling cars, by which
he had one leg crushed off and the other
foot so badly mutilated as to render ampu
tation necessary. His father, W. H.
Griffith, in response to the telegram, started
for Atlanta on the 11.20 train yesterday,
but soon after his departure another tele
gram was received announcing the death of
young Griffith, which occurred shortly af
ter 11 o'clock.

A colored girl named Agnes King was
arrested and taken before Justice Mi 11 is.
yesterday morning, charged with stealing a
sum of money from one Matilda Aaron. It
seems that the girl had been employed by
the latter to clean up her room, and directly
after leaving it she (Matilda Aaron) missed
the money, which she had concealed under
the pillow. Knowing no one else had been
in the room she started after the girl and
called her back, charging her with taking
the money She at first denied the "soft
impeachment," but finally so far confessed
as to tell Matilda Aaron that if she would
accompany her she would take her where
the money was. The woman did as re
quested, but the girl failed to carry out her
part of the contract. The magistrate
deemed the evidence sufficient to convict,
and required Agnes King to enter into bond
n the sum of $50 for her appearance at the
next term of the Criminal Court, in default
of which she was committed to jail.

sure of looking over the carnival edition of
the New Orleans Times-Democrat, contain
ing a description Of the Mardi-Gras festivi
ties and a number of extra sheets of illus
trations of the various agents. The several
legends are magnificently portrayed and
admirably serve to give one an exalted idea
of the carnival season as carried out in New
Orleans. No really correct idea of the
magnificent scale on which the occasion is
celebrated can be formed unless it is seen,
but the enterprise and skill of the Times-
Democrat goes far to give those who have
never witnessed it a true idea of the Carnival
pageant. We confess to never having real
ized fully the grandeur of the Mardi-Gras
celebration until seeing the pictures in the
edition mentioned.

Though the audience at the Opera House
last night was not large, those present were
very agreeably entertained by the acting of
Mr. Frank Mordaunt and company in "Old
Shipmates." The piece, as the name inai
cates, is of a nantical turn, and out of the
"beaten track." In fact, its novelty of
plot and construction is one of its strongest

The Keetlnc last Nlnt.
The joint committees . from .Sampson,
Pender, Wilmington, and from the Cham
ber of Commerce of the city, met by ap
pointment in the Mayor's office at the City
Hall, last night. Mr. F. W. Kerchner was
made permanent chairman and Mr. Owen
Fennell secretary. The committee pro
pose to prepare a subscription list, and as
a body have organized to solicit subscrip
tions in the city. Assurances were given
that Sampson county will raise $25,000,
Pender $10,000, and the committee think
that with a proper canvass the amount re
quired from this city, which is $40,000, can
be raised.
This is a matter that our people should
take a lively interest in. The tradesmen.
and merchants ami mechanics and laborers
of our city, will all be benefitted directly in
the building of this road. Sampson county
alone exports annually $500,000 in crude
products, which may all be thrown into this
city, while it is now sent mostly to Goldi
boro, and other points on the Weldon road
for northern shipment, because of the dif
ference in freight.
The committee will meet again to-night,
at the Mayors office, at 8 o clock, and
every member is requested to attend.
