W. W. Wood's manufacturing establish ment at Winston, N. C, burned; loss un known, but insured for $50,000. Two negroes who murdered Clinton Cane, re cently, near Weldon, N. C, and placed his body on the railroad track, have been ar rested and lodged in jail at Warrenton. Pensacola, Fla., reports a slight in crease in yellow fever sixty-two new cases and two deaths; the means of relief are in adequate. Lionllard s Aranza won a handicap race at Newmarket. Liabili ties of Wellington Bros. & Co., wholesale dry goods, Boston, ' aggregate $700,000. Fred Douglass denies the statement that he will stump Virginia for the straight out Republicans; his sympathies are with the Mahone movement. A slight shock of earthquake was felt in St. Louis, yester day morning. Duncan A. Grant, lace importer of New York, has failed. Secretary Folger says that the Government will endeavor to maintain ease in the money market, and if the law will permit, will loan money to banks and take bonds for security. Mackey got the Republican nomination for Congress in the Seventh South Carolina District, on the 21st ballot. The fourteenth annual convention of the Catholic Beneficial Union is in session at Philadelphia. Jno. Spicy, colored, was killed by a sheriff's posse, at Leary:s Ga. ; Spicy shot one of the posse, and acci dentally shot his wife also. Turkey wants to know when the British troops will leave Egypt. A small pox epidemic prevails at Cape Town, Africa. Four out of five persons were accidentally drowned at South Lebanon, Ohio. New York markets: Money 79 per cent. ; cotton quiet new 3-16c under quotations ; southern flour steady and fairly active at $4 757 25; wheat lower, un graded red 87c$l 05f ; corn l3c lower, ungraded 6370c; rosin firm at $1 80 1 90; spirits turpentine higher and firm at 4oi46c. Chalk and cocoons divided the honors with rice and peanuts before the Tariff Commission yesterday. The American colors are once more to the front on the English turf. At the New Market meeting yesterday Lori Hard's Avanza won the race. The New York Herald announces that it "chooses the side of the peo ple, and therefore advocates the elec tion of Mr. Cleveland," the Demo cratic candidate for Governor of New York. It is announced in the Augusta News that thousands of bushels of North Carolina apples have been placed on that market during the past week, and that they are the best in the world. Our Wilmington mer chants should make a note of this and profit by the information. There is a fearful lack of energy and enthusiasm in the Democracy of Wilmington. Very little has been done in the line of organization. The apathy and indifference are phenome nal, and unless something is done to arouse the party our vote in Novem ber will be disgracefully small. Go to work, boys, with your old-time energy. The Charlotte Observer has learned that $2,500 has been received by the Libero-Republico-Mongrelo com bination of Mecklenburg county for campaign purposes. The money, it is said, was sent by that prince of revenuers, Dr. Mott, and is to be placed "where it will do the most good." This is no doubt a contribu tion from the corruption fund of Jayhawker Hubbell, whose commit tee can afford to dispense their ill gotten gains liberally in behalf of the "grand old pasty." The death of that gallant gentle man,, Col. McLeod Turner, will arouse the tender est sympathies of thousands of North Carolinians who loved him with the most intensefer- vor. lie was well known in Wil mington, where he had hosts of friends, and among them none more devoted than the late D. R. Murchi son, at whose house he was always a welcome visitor. The following from the Raleigh Observer, will give some idea of his sufferings during the last twenty years of his life: "He was dreadfully wounded, having al together been pierced by eleven balls. He was wounded through the lungs, through the body, was shot through the spine, be sides lesser wounds. Both legs were para lyzed, one arm partially; his shoulder was dislocated and many of his bones were broken and became diseased. From the day at Gettysburg' he was a mere wreck. His continued existence seemed a miracle. What he suffered cannot be imagined witjfe out a knowledge of the many ills that afflicted his frame and system, which we will not advert to." It is stated in the Winston Leader that a regular matrimonial insurance fever has seized the young men of that town. "One Winston gentle man," we are told, "young in years, has policies on himself to the amount of $100,000; another, $50,000; an other, $24,000; and a number from $2,000 to $4,000." Well, we have often heard that the young men of Winston were not pretty; but, really, we did not think it was such a diffi cult matter for them to get married as is indicated by the statement of the Leader'. No doubt the number of marriages will now increase, and the Registers, the printers and the parsons will reap a rich harvest. Possibly, Robinson himself may be a Leader in this movement. We invite special attention to Sen ator Ransom's appointments to be found in the Star to-day. They cover five counties of the Third Con gressional District, and ample notice is given for each appointment. Let the people turn out in force to hear our brilliant Senator. He is one of the most eloquent and persuasive of our North Carolina orators. The people of the Cape Fear section feel a special pride in the success of Sena tor Ransom, and we trust they will give him a rousing reception at all his appointments. A Richmond county correspondent writes us that he heard Col. Dockery speak at Covington last Saturday. This appointment had been adver tised for nearly two weeks, and he spOke within twelve miles of his own home, and yet he had an audience of only about 150 all told. We fear the Colonel is not so popular now as he once was. He is advocating mea sures with some of which the masses of the people have little sympathy, and he will discover next November that he is not near so strong as he thought he was. Spirits Turpentine. Raleigh Visitor : An alarm of fire was sounded about 4 o'clock this morn ing, caused by the burning of a kitchen on South Bloodworth street, belonging to a Mr. Parish. The loss was about $200. No insurance. Nine convicts escaped from the brick yard just south of the city last night by boring through the wall. Col. J.

More- head ; for the House, James W. Forbis and John L. King. Lumberton Robesonian ; The Editor returned this (Tuesday) morning from Fayetteville, whither he had been to hear Vance speak. He spoke on Friday at Jonesboro and he and his escort went in a special car to Fayetteville on Saturday. When within a mile of town ne was met Dy a large escort of horsemen and a magnifi cent turnout and carried to the city amidst the wildest enthusiasm. The crops of Bladen county are unusually fine this year. -This vicinity was visited Dy a neavy rain last Monday night. A good deal of cotton is now coming into market, and lots of goods are being carried out. - Our city editor is, we regret to state, seri ously ill. On last Sunday it was thought he could not live, but at present he is said to be slowly improving. A new sched ule is to be run on the Carolina Central in a short time. Through freights will also be put on. Charlotte Observer: Mr. J. R. Baker, of this city, met with a painful acci dent in Crab Orchard township, last Satur day. He was on a scaffold around a new building, when the scaffolding fell. He received painful injuries to hisleg and ankle. Rev. Charles E. Quin, the able young Episcopal divine, has succeeded in building up quite a congregation from among the colored people of the city. The church is known as the Colored Mission, and is located on Mint street. The attendance at the white graded school is now 475-, and Prof. Mitchell has the names of 51 others who intend to enter school as soon as the extra desks arrive, making for a certainty, 526 scholars who will be attend ing the white graded school by this time next week. It is' altogether probable that before another month the white graded school will show, up fully 600 scholars. The colored graded school opened yes terday with 212 scholars. New Berne Journal; One Henry J. Hughes, a candy dealer on Broad street, received a beating yesterday irom Mr. James Manwell for indignities perpe trated on his little daughter.. Mr. J. L. Rhem has a kind of cotton that the blossoms are not affected by the rriorning showers as is the case with the ordinary cotton. He obtained the seed of a farmer near Deep Gully. It grows so as to let the water out which prevents the form from dropping. Mr. - j. H. isar- num of this city has a cat named Jumbo that weighs eleven pounds. S wansboro items : I send two rib bones of a rattlesnake to you. I have part of Iris backbone If inches across, but can't send it in a letter. The snake was fifteen inches in circumference.

' He had six snags on a beam, and weighed, gross weight, 340 pounds, and was not fat either. Hyde county items: The health of the county is very good. Cholera is killing the hogs at some points.

Mor ris Bear and brothers, corner of Sixth and Chesnut streets, the types had it Marcus Bear and brothers. Didn't Want to.be Considered a Rlee Bird. George Sheridan and Larry Davis, both colored, were shooting rice birds in a field in Brunswick county, about two miles from this city, a few days ago, when a stray shot from the gun of Davis struck Sheridan in the face, the latter being on the opposite side of the field from the former, but not inflicting much damage. Sheridan, however, thought the spirit of evil prompt ed Davis to try the "shot-gun policy" upon him, and therefore came to town and got out a warrant for his arrest, which was subsequently accomplished. The case came up before J. C. Hill, J. P., yesterday morning, when, the shooting having occurred in Brunswick county, the magistrate dismissed it for want of juris diction. The parties thereupon "shook hands across the bloody chasm" and re solved ever after to be friends. Southern Telegraph Line. The Charlotte Observer has this to say of the new telegraph line now in process of construction: "We understand that the wires of the new Southern Telegraph Com pany, a corporation formed to buck against the Western Union, as we mentioned some months ago in The Observer, are up and doing business between Richmond and Baltimore, and are being strung Southward from Richmond by two routes, one through Wilmington and the other through Char lotte. The Wilmington line is to be fin ished first." Death of Capt. E. C. Skinner. The Richmond State has this to say of this gentleman, a brother of Capt. S. W. Skinner, of this city: "Capt. Ed. C. Skin ner, a well known and popular gentleman, died here yesterday at his mother's residence of paralysis. . Capt. Skinner was a native of Richmond, and the son of the late Capt. Samuel Skinner. He was a gallant soldier in the Confederate army, and served with distinction at Gettysburg. For the past seventeen years he has been in the towing service on the James river." Expected Home.

The Canvass in Duplin. We are requested to state that the Demo cratic candidates for the Legislature and county offices in Duplin county Will be at Duplin Roads on Saturday, October 7th, and address the people. POINT CASWELL. The Democratic Bias meeting and Breaking Ground for the Clinton & Point Caswell Railroad Speeches of of Col. Staples, Dr. Ennett and Others. Notwithstanding the continuous rain of Tuesday there was a very fine attendance at Point Caswell. A Democratic meeting was held in the new Academy building. Col. John N. Staples of Greensboro, ad dressed arowd of ladies and gentlemen for over two hours, in one of the most magnifi cent speeches of the campaign. He was in troduced by Dr. Geo. F. Lucas, Chairman of the Township Executive Committee, in a very graceful and tasty manner, that did the Doctor no little credit. The speaker en chained the undivided attention of his au dience in, ft masterly discussion of the -national and Sfate issues. Hi3 address was one of marked ability, power and elo quence. Col. Staples introduced the speaker, Dr. W. T. Ennett, selected to deliver the ad dress to the fifty young ladies present to break the ground for the new railroad. Dr. Ennett proceeded in a few appropriate remarks to urge upon the young ladies the duty and importance of using their influ ence to promote the construction or ine railroad. The doctor's proverbial aptitude for occasions like this was illustrated by a fine and complimentary address to the ladies. After the conclusion of Dr. Eunett's ad dress the President of the Company, Mr. F. W. Kerchner, was called upon by En gineer O'Hanlon to come forward and break the first dirt for the construction of the Clinton & Point Caswell Rail- Toad. He came forward with smiles of cheerfulness upon him, and, with spade in hand, proceeded to break ground by throwing out several spadefuls of earth. The handsome and approving young ladies then came forward, one by one, and imi tated the example set them by the President of the road. Thus has been commenced the actual construction of this new railroad. Woman gives to it her approving smiles and support. This portion of the exercises of the day commanded the approving presence of quite a crowd, and was very interesting. At the conclusion of the breaking of the ground the signal was given to the young folks to proceed to the elegant ball-room of the Academy to engage in the enjoyments incident to the "light fantastic toe." Under the inspiration of a band of music dancing at once commenced and was kept up until the small hours of the morning. The steamer John Dawson left in time to reach this city by 7 o'clock yesterday morn ing. Col. Staples, we understand, has charmed the people of Pender by his two recent vis its to the county. His fine oratorical abil ities, entire absence of anything like per sonal abuse, and his lucid, elaborate expo sitions of the principles of the Democratic party, combined with his patriotic appeals to now come forward to aid in the election of Col. Green and Col. Bennett, were very impressive. The Colonel, we hear, is highly pleased with his visit to Pender county. CO UNTY COMMISSIONERS. Appointment of Registrars and Poll- Holders. The Board of County Commissioners met yesterday afternoon in called session, for the purpose of appointing Registrars and Poll-holders for the election to be held in November ensuing.

Its Arrival, Session and Departure. The Tariff Commission, consisting of Hon. Jno. L. Hayes, of Massachusetts, President; and Messrs. H. W.Oliver, Jr., of Philadelphia; A. M. Garland, of Illi nois. A. R. Boteler, of West Virginia, and P. P. Porter, of Washington, D. C. ar rived here yesterday morning from Charles ton and met at 11 o'clock at the Custom House. The subjects brought to its atten tion were rice, peanuts, chalk and silk cocoons. Hon. D. L. Russell, Mr. Don. MacRae and Col. S. L. Fremont advocated the pea nut and rice interests, and Mr. Geo. Z, French the peanut and chalk interests. Silk cocoons being incidentally alluded to by Col. Fremont. Mr. Pembroke Jones also appeared and addressed the Commission in advocacy of the imposition of a duty on the importation of rice flour, in order to enable American manufacturers to successfully compete with foreigners. The advocates of the rice interests ex pressed themselves generally as satisfied with the present duties, but declared that any reduction would be fatal to the rice growing industry. Mr. French, in behalf of those interested in peanuts, stated that the annual produc tion of the Wilmington section was 120, 000 bushels. Up to 1861 it was equal to seven-eighths of the entire crop of the United States, but under the duty of one cent per pound imposed in 1864 the cultivation had increased from 300,000 to 600,000 bushels. The price was affected by the importation of African peanuts, and the removal of the present duty would put an end to the pea nut industry of North Carolina and impov erish many small farmers. As to chalk, Mr. French said that large deposits of it were found in North CarolinajQpbut the freight on it to Northern markets, where it was made into whiting, would be higher than the cost of English chalk there (being brought in ballast). Col. Fremont spoke in advocacy of the rice interest ; and alluding to Bilk cocoons said that the soil and climate of the State were favorable to the cultivation of mul berry trees and the raising of silk worms. Both the mining of chalk and the raising of silk worms, it was argued, might be greatly developed by the imposition of a duty on the importation of chalk and silk cocoons. Mr. Boteler asked Col. Fremont whejher any complaints came up from the farming community about the tariff? He replied in the negative, saying all that was heard of the question was princi pally from Congress and stump speakers. He thought, however, that the popular side of the question was a tariff for revenue with incidental protection ; but as the rice people wanted the present duty on rice maintained, they could not consistently ask to have the duties removed from other protected articles. The Commission then adjourned until the afternoon, when it met at the Purcell House and Messrs. H. C. McQueen, Vice President of the Produce Exchange, and Robt. E. Calder, a member of the same, appeared before the Commission and fur nished the board with valuable statistical information relative to the trade and busi ness of the port, its increasing facilities, our manufacturing interests, the extent of our shipping, etc., so that the gentlemen of the Commission would be enabled to form some idea of the importance of our port in a commercial point of view. The Commission left for Richmond yes terday afternoon. Columbus Superior Court. The Superior Court of Columbus county is in session at Whiteville this week. Among the important cases to be tried is that of G. Buie, charged with murdering E. Kemp, in Bladen county, just one year ago; the case having been removed from Bladen to Columbus. This case is set for trial to-day, at 10 o'clock. There is a strong array of counsel for the defence, consisting of Messrs. D. K. McRae, R. n. Lyon, W. Foster French, W. S. Norment and James McNeill; while Solicitor Mc Iver will be assisted by Mr. F. P. Jones. Dr. Talmage Invited to Lecture Here Again. The literary public will bo glad to learn that our wide-awake friends of the Wil mington Library Association have extended an invitation to Rev. Dr. DeWitt Talmage to revisit our city and deliver another lec ture. He is announced to lecture in Char lotte in March, ana it is thought he can make it convenient to visit Wilmington during the same trip. It is confidently hoped to have the distinguished gentleman with us once more. Arrested for Larceny. One Zacariah Boone, colored, was arres ted yesterday on the charge of stealing a watch from George Warren, of this city, some time in March last. A search war rant was first issued and the stolen time piece was found in Boone's possession, after which he was taken into custody on a State warrant An investigation was had before Justice Millis, who reserved his judgment in the case until to-day at 12 o'clock. Hurt by a Fall. Mrs. Kennedy, an old lady who cleans clothing, and who resides on Nun, between Fourth and Fifth streets, accidentally fell on the pavement nearly in front of the Pur cell House, late last evening, and cut her face very badly. She was taken to Dr. Schonwald's office, where she received pro per attention, and was subsequently carried to?ier residence. War Department, Signal Service, V. S. Arm 7.

Ifllss Claire Scott. As previously announced, this lady ap pears at the Opera House to-night, in the "Princess of Bagdad," and from the ad vance gale of scats we judge that there will be a large audience to witness tho perform ance. The Atlanta Constitution gave Miss Scott and company the following notice when they appeared recently in that city: "Miss Claire 8cott, assisted by Mr. 8. K. Coburn and a fair company, appehrcd at De Give's Opera House last nient In the character of Lueretia Borgia to quite a magnincent audience. 1 he dreaded liorgxa is a character hard to interpret and difficult to Impersonate. Miss Scott quick transi tion from the contemplation of a diabolical revenge to the almost idolatrous love for Genarro: then in the court scene when pleading for his life; and her impersonation oi the doting mother and demoniac ducb ess, bore evidence of her being an actress oi merit, bhe possesses superb physique, mobile features, grace of gesture, and a voice strengthened to the tragic tones, and we see in her the promise of a future quocn in the realm of highest dramatic art. She has every facility to realize her ambition. and doubtless the courage to demand that success which her abilities command. Though at the threshold only of her career. she displays grand powers to hold the hearts of her hearers and play upon them through the full garnet of the emotions. The support last night was very cod and satislactory. JTIsyor's Court. The only case for the Mayor's considera tion yesterday morning was that of a color ed girl named Hannah Churchill, charged with the larceny of wood from the gas house wharf. There was no evidence to sustain the charge, and the case was dis missed. RIVER AND JTIAKINK. Barque Ivos, Olscn, sailed from Liver pool on the 14th inst., for this port.
