The World of Sunday says:
"Dr. Ambrose P&llen. who stands in the
front rank of the medical profession, said:
ine omy criticism or the case is that at

ger of death when, in fact, there was noth-
mgoi we son close at nana, l watcnea
the bulletins closely and not once did I see
either the .temperature or the pulse above
100. So long as this was the case there
ought to be no prognosis of death.
As to the chance of choking, with a fatal
termination, it was all nonsense to think of
this so long as the doctors were by. his side;
and the operation of tracheotomy is so readi
ly performed. It wonld have been so easy
to open the windpipe and give the patient
air that it should not have been debated an
instant when the time for the operation had1
arrived. I blame them, you understand for
this sending out of alarming bulletins when
there was nothing to justify it.' "

Goldsboro Argus : The W il-

changes. To its telegraphic columns we
are largely" indebted for our latest news
from all parts. It is the oldest daily in the
State and comes fully up to what it pro
poses to be, a first class Democratic news
paper. Concord Times: Bob Best, a
colored boy, crawled under the Central
Hotel a few days ago in search of a chicken
and found a hunting case gold watch. A
gold watch was stolen from the express

thought that the thief to escape detection
threw it under the hotel, where it has re

whether he was murdered or committed

Asheville Advance: Yesterday
evening about 5 o'clock, Mr. J. H. Barnard
rode up to the window of Davidson & Mar
tin's law office, north side of the court
house, and tapped with his whip on the
window. His horse, frightened at the noise,
reared back, throwing Mr. Barnard against
a piece of timber,, breaking both bones of
his ankle. Since the brutal murder
and burning of the Joyce family, in Homi
ny Valley , the dwelling house of Mr. Jasper
Miller, one of the citizens who has taken an
active interest in the efforts that are being
made to detect the Joyce murderers, was
burned to the ground, and the store of Mr.
John Thrash was fired into through the
window. Mr. Miller and Mr. (Thrash, with
all the other good citizens of Hominy Vat
ley, are using every exertion in their power
to put a stop to the depredations that are
being practiced in that vicinity ; and it is
generally believed that there exists an or
ganized band of thieves and murderers in
festing that portion of the country.
Raleigh News-Observer: The
Hon. O. P. Meares is admirably sustaining
at Charlotte the reputation he has so long
borne at Wilmington for learning, ability
and impartially as a judge. Yester
day the. great case of Railway Train vs.
Mule was tried, about a mile the other side
of Henderson. The mule was worsted. He
was killed. , It is a -wild, weird, improba
ble story, yet nevertheless true. Sen
a tor Vance has returned to Washington from
his mountain farm, and we are glad to
know that he is in excellent health. It is
stated that a granddaughter of Col.
Wheeler, - the North Carolina historian,
Miss Rose Wheeler, has made an engage

and that she has very fine histrionic talents.
The various companies are in earnest'
in their preparation for the encampment in
July. It will be even a finer gathering of
the State Guard than was seen at the open

saying a great deal. Each of the four

; Charlotte Observer . Winston
is to have a daily paper called the Twin
City Gossip. It is to be edited by P. F.
Daub and Z. - W. Whitehead. The
members of the congregation of the Tryon
Street Baptist church, in. this city, have ex
tended a call to Rev. A. G. McManaway,
of Louiahurg, N. 0.' The best time
on record for the Air Line road was made
last Thursday by Engineer John Pettus,
who brought the passenger train from Cen
tral to Charlotte, 184 miles, in 4 hours and
12 minutes. Attached to . the noon
train from Richmond, .yesterday, was the
Bleeper "St Nicholas," in which were
quartered about 50 railroad superinten
dents, on their way to New Orleans. They
had been holding a meeting in Richmond,
but adjourned 'to the exposition, At
Asbury's brick yard yesterday, a darkey
who was employed to oil the moulds as
they revolved, grew absent-minded and al
lowed his hand to remain in a mould until
it passed under the pressure. Then he pull
ed his hand out in a hurry to find that
one of his fingers had been eut off close
to the second joint, as smoothly as
it could have been done with a knife.
The brick emptied from the mould was
broken open, and the finger was found
firmly embedded in its bosom, The
cyclone struck Laurinburg about 5 o'clock
in the afternoon, while the hail was still
rattling down upon the houses, and it came
with suddenness and great force. It took
the cyclone not more than two minutes to
pass through the town, that is, it. lasted
about two minutes; and then ensued a com
parative calm, and the people stepped out
to see what damage had been done. The
extent of the damage in the town was:
Merchants Hotel unroofed; P. W. Suggs'
store unroofed; James & McRae'a store un
roofed; blacksmith shop crushed to frag
ments by a falling tree ; numerous outhouses
were blown over, and fences were scattered
in all directions' In the country adlacent
to Laurinburg heavy destruction of timber
was wrought, a couple or barns were blown
away and nine miles of fencing were scat
tered. Nobody was killed or injured i n the
cyclone, - but a number of persons were
frightened almost to death.

" 'The Two Johns' is a broad comedy in
three acts, and has met with an unusual
degree of popularity. It aims to make
people laugh, and in that it succeeds be
yond stint. It was presented last evening
at the Mount Morris Theatre to a large au
dience, and was heartily roared at Messrs.
John" Stewart and John Hart were the
principals, and as they are both clever
comedians their efforts, which were mus
cular as well as mental, were highly en
joyed. In the company are several very
good singers, whose songs helped materi

Burglar Alarm. 1 f . ; -
. Passing by Mr. F. ,W. Foster's residence
yesterday, he called us in to see how his
new burglar alarm worked. ; It is so ar
ranged that upon opening any door or win
dow in the building the alarm will ring out
with such distinctness that the soundest
sleeper would be awakened by it It would
be impossible, therefore, for any burglar
to enter his residence either by a: door or
window without giving such an alarm as
to arouse the; inmates, for as soon as you
turn the knob 'anefstart to open the door
the racket commences and continues until
the door is closed again ; and with a win
dow it is the same case. And then it
guards against any collusion that might
take place between a burglar and a servant,
for when the alarm is put on, when the fam
ily are about to retire for the night, if there
is a window left open or a door left ajar
you are sure to be warned of the fact It
is a very useful contrivance, rand every
.person that can afford an alarm should
have one.
Mr. Foster says he will be pleased to
show the operations of the alarm to any
person or persons who may have any curi
osity in the matter.
Religion Rf eetli
At the First Baptist chnreh on Sunday
the pastor announced that there bad been
eighteen or twenty conversions since the
series oT meetings began, and that they
would be continued, during the present
week, afternoon and evening. Rev. Mr.
Battle, who has worked so faithfully dur
ing the progress" of the meeting, will re
main.
The Beries of meetings at the Second
Presbyterian church are increasing in in

A Bush for Smashed Crockery.
Chief of Police Brock was driving out inr
the eastern part of the city, yesterday morn
ing, when he was startled by the discovery
of such a large crowd of people collected
in the neighborhood of Tenth and Mulberry
streels-i-seemingly at least five hundred
that he was at first totally at a loss to un
derstand what it meant. Upon driving
nearer, however, he found out the cause of
the large assemblage and the excitement
that was prevailing in its ranks. It
URPeara,
that some carts were .engaged
in taking out the ' smashed crockerrf
ware from the store of Messrs. Giles &
Murchison, recently so badly damaged by
fire, and dumping it at the place named,
and-the large crowd of colored people had
collected from the adjacent neighborhoods,
air intent upon finding some article or
articles so little damaged by the ordeal
through which it had passed as to be of
some service.
Revenue Blatters.
Some facts in reference to revenue mat
ters may be of interest to some of our busi
ness men. Application should be made on
or before the first day of May for a U. S.
revenue license to sell articles manufactured
from the tobacco plant, which costs $2 40
for one year. This license includes in its
provisions as above intimated chewing
and smoking tobacco, ' snuff, cigars, ciga
rettes, etc. At the same time dealers are
required to take out a license to retail spir
ituous liquors, which embraces any quanti
ty from a thimbleful to four gallons and
three quarts; in other words, any quantity
under five gallons; the price to be paid for
such license being $25. These facts we ob
tain from Col. F. W. Foster, revenue in
spector for this port.
Charged "With a Dastardly Crime.
A colored boy, about 16 or 17 years old,
named James Davis, was arrested and taken
to the guard house Sunday night, charged
with an infamous crime, a little white girl
about eight years old being the victim. He
was taken to the lock-up by the girts
father, a Mr. Love joy, living at 812 North
Third street. The boy came here somen
two or three months ago as a tramp, saying
he belonged at Charleston, 8. C, and has
been in tne employ or Mr. Jbovejoy. ine
case in the Mayor's absence, was turned
over to Justice Millis, who was to have
had a preliminary examination yesterday
afternoon, but finally postponed the hear
ing until this morning at 10 o'clock.
Pictures by Wilmington Artists.
Speaking of the efforts of Wilmington
artists, we noticed yeBterday, in the show
window of Mr. John Dyer, a handsome oil
painting by Mr. John T. Kilham, known as
"The Rivals," representing an Indian and a
white man on horseback in pursuit of a
buffalo, both in the act of assaulting the
frightened beast, the former with an arrow
from his trusty bow and the latter with a
ball from his gleaming revolver, while a
look of bitter defiance disfigures the faces
of both the rivals in the exciting contest,
which is taking place on one, of the far
western prairies and close by the banks of a
beautiful river. ,
