NO, dock, of the Episcopal Church, is in favor of its abolition The Rev. Dr. Phillips Brooks, of Trinity Church, said that he failed to see that the day, as now observed, subserved any use whatever. The Rev. Dr. C. A. Bartol, of the West Church, said: "Fast day has become a farce." Ex-President Davis has written a letter to a committee of the Mississip pi Legislature in response to one ad dressed to him relative to providing for disabled Confederate; soldiers. In it he said: 'On the general proposition to afford relief to the indigent who were disabled in the service they were commanded by their sovereign States to perform there can be little, if any, difference of opinion among us. The manner in which that relief may best be bestowed is a question to which no distinct answer could probably be given. Very much will . depend on the circum stances, habits, and education of the indi viduals. The .armies of the Confederacy were composed of the citizens of the States. They i left. their homes to defend the rights they inherited, and if they, survived the war, hoped to return to those from whom they parted. The destruction of their homes, and all that that word implies courd alone break the charm of associations rendered, more dear to them by the sacri fices they made. To such as these less than the expenditure necessary to maintain the inmates of an organized soldiers' home would give more happiness, if less comfort,' than the military home would afford, go verned with something not unlike the dis cipline of a military camp." The Philadelphia Ledger has just celebrated its fiftieth anniversary. It is the most decent Republican paper we ever saw, and the proprietor, Mr. George W. Childs, is one of the most bonevolent and kindest of men. We honor him and bold him as the no blest benefactor of the poor that his great city contains. We have before ns a fac simile of the first number issued March 25, 1836. It is barely one-half the size of the Stab. It is now a large and cleanly printed sheet. Swain, Abell and Simmons were the proprietors, and it was sold at one cent. Mr. Childs is a very rich man, worth several millions. Mr. Abell, one of the first proprietors, is still living, owns the Baltimore Sun, and is the richest newspaper proprietor in the United States, and, possibly, in the world. His fortune is placed at $10,000,000. . The National Sanitary Convention will meet in Philadelphia on the 12th of May and sit for three days. Gov. Pattison wifl deliver the address of welcome. The plan of exercises em braces a wide field of discussion up on twenty topics. Among these are the Sanitary Needs of School Build ings and Grounds; the Water Sup ply of Towns and Cities; the Dispo sal of Slops and Garbage ;the Preven tion of Communicable Diseases; the Influence of Clothing on Health; Ventilation; Drainage and Sewerage, &c. North Carolina ought to be rep resented and we would be pleased to know that Dr. Thomas F. Wood, 6f this city, was appointed by some one or somebody that will pay his expenses. This is not at his sugges tion, be it said. THE CITY, Mtjnson Shirts C. M. McNett A card . C. M. McNett Thanks. B. F. White Card of thanks. S. n. Manning $100 reward. Godfrey Hakt Caution notice, .

" Many persons saw yesterday what they have never seen before the in side, of a jail. . j . It was too warm last night at the station house for tramps, and conse quently none applied for lodgings. - It is understood that the prison ers who were in jail here will be removed to Goldsboro for safe keeping, except the United States prisoners, who will be carried to Whiteville. The Norwegian barque Condor, Capt. Syverteen, was cleared from this port for Antwerp, yesterday, by Messrs. Pater son, Downing & Co., with 4,840 bbls. rosin, valued at $4,079.

Trilmmcton Again Visited toy the De atroying Element A Livery Stable, the county JTail and a Number of 1 Dwelling and Stores Destroyed Or Igln of the Fire Cnknown-Lon 127,000 Insurance $12,000. Our city was visited by another disastrous fire yesterday morning about 2 o'clock. There are conflicting rumors as tothe ori gin of the fire some claiming that it origi nated in the rear of Messrs. Burr& Bailey's works, on South Front street, while others affirm that it started in the back yard of the premises on Second street occupied as a dwelling by Mrs. E. Warren. THE PROPERTY DESTROYED. The shed of Messrs. Burr & Bailey, which was used for storing plows and lum ber, wa3 the first property burned, together with a small brick house m the same yard with the shed. From these structures the flames communicated to Mrs. Warren's residence- a large frame building which was completely destroyed, together with all of its contents. The flames next spread to the brick tenement house on the south, one half of the lower floor of which was occupied by Mr. D. Newman as a dime store, and the other half for storing the plows, castings, etc., of Messrs. Burr & Bailey. .The upper stories were occupied as residences by Mr. Thomas Rand and Mrs. Tracy. The latter lost everything, while the former saved only a small portion of his goods. All of the aforesaid build ings belonged to the estate of Hart & Bailey. The fire . then spread rapidly to the kitchen of Mr. John Hardin, only a few yards west of the tenement houses, and it was entirely consumed. This property was owned by 'Dr. J. D. Bellamy, upon which there was no insurance. The dwelling house of Mr. Hardin also caught, but was saved by the efforts of the firemen. A 6mall brick house on the lot between Mr. Hardin's residence and the tenement houses belonging to Dr. Bellamy was also des troyed. The fire then worked its way across the street to the frame building owned by Mr. A. Lessman, and occupied on the upper floors by Mr. R. J. Lewis and others, the basement having been recently used as a barber shop, but unoccupied at the time of the fire. This building was also completely destroyed, the inmates losing all they possessed. The next buildings burned were those known as the Car Block, two of which were recently badly damaged by fire, and all un occupied. They were owned by Mrs, Thomas Evans and Messrs. Wm. Larkins and Charles Bradley. The brick residence of Mr. A. Lessman was damaged to a considerable extent, but was saved. The frame building next south of Mr. Lessman'a residence caught fire on the roof several times, but the flames were finally extinguished; owned by the John Brown estate. The stores occupied by Mr. A. D. Wes seli, owned by himself and Mr. C. M. Bon ham, were damaged by water. ' The building on Market street, be tween Second and Third, owned by Mr. W. B. McKoy, and occupied on the lower floors by Mr. Benjamin White and Geo. W. Price, Jr., was ignited by sparks. , The upper portion of this building used by Mrs. C. V. Woodcock as a boarding house, was deluged by water, which was the principal damage done. The residence of Miss Annie Hart, on Third street, near Market, and also another building io the same yard, were slightly damaged. An outhouse on the premises of Mr, Henry Schutte, on Third street, and are near the premises of Mr. H. Vollers, corner of Second ; and Dock streets, also caught fire, but were soon put out. THE LIVERY STABLE. In a short while after the first alarm was sounded the large frame building on Prin cess street, between Third and Fourth, oc cupied as a livery stable by Mr. J. H. Jones, was discovered to be on fire, sparks from the i burning buildings on Second street having ignited this structure, and it was only a short time before it was in one huge blaze. Being an old building and containing a lot of hay, feed, etc., it served as ready fuel for the devouring flames. There were thirty two horses in the stables, besides a large number of carriages, bug gies, wagons, etc., and it seemed for a time that it would be impossible to save them ; but by almost super-human efforts all the horses with one exception were saved, as was also a large portion of the rolliog stock, though not until three buggies, eight or ten drays, one carriage, two de livery wagons and a large lot of harness were burned. A cow underneath the sta ble was also burned. Several horses that were turned loose in taking them out of the burning stables were still missing yester day, though it is expected that they will soon be caught. I THE JAIL. From the burning stables the flames com municated to the county jail, and soon the whole interior of this building was on fire, and nothing now remains of the old land mark but the brick walls and the stone work and cells on the inside. The jail was built about the year 1856 by Messrs. J. C. and B. B. Wood, Sr., and the original cost of Its construction was $10,000, There were twenty seven prisoners in jail at the time, some of whom were serving out sen tences, some being held for trial at the next term of the Criminal Court, and others awaiting to be transferred to the peniten tiary at Raleigh, having been convicted at - . I i . . .. ... -. the present term of Court. The names of those convicted and sentenced were as fol lows: Jhn Carver, manslaughter, one year in jail Ben Bonham, larceny, six months in the county work house. Chas. Hill, assault and battery, three months in the county work house. Isaac Johnson, larceny; four years in the penitentiary . Henry King, embezzlement, one year in the penitentiary. Robt. H. Moore, larceny, two years in the penitentiary . A. Mainwarring, carrying concealed weapon, sixty days in the county work house. Caleb Pollock, larceny, twelve months in the county jail. Sarah Rich, affray, sixty days in the county work house. Bertha Smith, larceny, six months in county workhouse. Henry Taylor, affray, sixty days in county workhouse. Sandy Stewart, bigamy, twelve months in county workhouse. Sylvester Pope, bigamy, ten years in penitentiary. Alex. Stuart, burglary, twenty years in penitentiary. ; Henry Scott, rape, penitentiary for life. The following were either serving out terms or awaiting trial at the next term of court: Agnes Best, Jack Banks, William Davis, David Johnson, Thomas Kane, J. H. Miles, George Vaon, Luke Suggs. The remaining four were United States prisoners, awaiting trial at the next term of t he U. S. District Court. Their names are James Norman, George Hall, Charles Guff and William P. Baldwin. The first two are held for violations of the internal rev enue laws, and the last two for mutiny. I When the jailor, Emanuel Nichols, saw that the stables were on fire, and that the jail was in imminent peril, he at once set to work endeavoring to take the prison ers. It was determined to remove them to the city guard house, and accordingly the prisoners were handcuffed, as far as it was possible to do eo, and the work of trans ferring them was begun. In endeavoring to do this, however, six of the prisoners succeeded in making their escape George Vann, Alex Stewart, Henry King, Chas. Hill, Caleb Pollock, and Ben Bonham. Alex. Stewart, it will be remembered,' is the negro who plead guilty to two charges of breaking into and entering a store house at the last term of the Criminal Court, and sentenced to twenty years confinement in the penitentiary. He was taken in charge at the jail door by two policemen, and cn the way to the guard house he broke from the officers and ran, nothing having been seen of him since. It would have been better for the community had any other prisoner in the jail escaped than this one, as he is a very dangerous and desperate character.

MAKCH 27. 1886. valued at about $29,000, and the insurance on the same, as far as we can now estimate, is nearly $13,000. ICYBAXDS OF CP ARES. There was a strong south-west wind blowing during the fire, and jt was with great difficulty that the private residences of some families, even though many blocks distant from the scene of the conflagration, could be kept from igniting, on account of the myriads of sparks blown from the burning buildings. By careful watching and keeping the. roofs wet, however, no serious damage was occasioned from this soorce. Some houses as far off as Seventh street caught, but the fire was detected be fore any headway could be gained and ex tinguished. THE riREKER. We cannot close our report without re ferring to the gallant services rendered by our efficient fire department. This organi zation, which is composed of the very best material among our young gentlemen, is an honor and credit to the city. With no incentive other than that of saving the property of their fellow-citizens, there is no risk too' great for th'em to undertake when their services are needed by those whose property is in jeopardy. Both the white and colored companies did noble service yesterday morning, and too much praise cannot be bestowed upon them for the manful manner in which they fought to subdue the flames. Personal. Maj. B. W. Cobb, of the Goldsboro' Messenger, who now travels by private conveyance, reached here yesterday. He leaves to-day for Onslow. He carries a regulation-rabbit foot in his vest pocket and is a firm believer in its talismanic power. We had the pleasure of meeting, yester day, Mr. E. B. Borden, one of Goldsboro's most prominent and progressive business men. Mr. T. D Mann, general manager of the eating houses of the Atlantic Coast Line, was the city yasterday. Among the arrivals at the Orton yester day were Chas. F. Matthage and wife, A. McDowal. Morris Nunan, N. Y. ; J. S. Frank, Balto.; B. Cameron, Raleigh, N. C; O. Pierce, Phila.; J. H. Brewster, Hartford, Conn. ; M. Frank, Va. ; Thomas Beaver and servant, Miss E. Wilkin, Miss W. Wilken, Penn.; John Jones, Wilming ton; Mies Sarah Alexander, Miss Sue Goodman, Del. ; T.R. Thomas and wife,Uti- ca, N. Y. ; J. P. Powers, Washington, D. C: Seth Kitchen and wife. Charlotte. Mich. Tom Kane. Tom Kane is a free man. The case against nim for burglary was heard in the Criminal Court yesterday morning. Solici tor Moore stated that as he (Kane) had been acquitted on the charge of rape the jury returning a verdict of not guilty evidently (in his opinion) on the ground of mistaken identity and as he had the same evidence in the burglary case that was adduced at the late trial for rape.he would leave the mat. ter entirely with the Court as to what dis position should be made of the prisoner. His "Honor then announced that it would be a waste of time to go over the same evi dence and have another trial at this term of the Court, and thought it best that a ml. jro.with leave be entered, and the prisoner was accordingly discharged . Bellvue Cemetery. A Stab representative, accompanied by a prominent city official, visited Bellvue Cemetery yesterday afternoon and spent a half hour in making a tour of the grounds. We found that many improvements had been made within the "past year, and that the work of beautifying the place was still in progress. Mr. Ward, the very able Superintendent, was at his post, and was attentive and cour teous, as he always is to visitors. Our rep resentative closed an important contract with Mr. Ward, the nature of which may be announced hereafter. It may be said, however, that it is not a contract that will will necessitate the interposition of the committee on interments. Directors' meeting. A meeting of the Directors of the Wil mington & Weldon and Wilmington, Co lumbia & Augusta Railroads was held yes terday, at which a committee was appointed to look after the rebuilding of the railroad offices and warehouses recently destroyed by fire. The committee appointed con sists of the President, General Manager, General Superintendent, and the two Wil mington Directors, Messrs. DeRosset and MacRae. The committee were empowered to take into consideration the advisability of build ing a covering for the iron bridge at the depot, and also of building stone platforms for the warehouses instead of wooden ones. Connty Commissioners. A meeting of the Board of County Com missioners was held yesterday afternoon for the purpose of taking some action in regard to building a new jail in place of the one destroyed by fire. ' NothiBg defi nite was done, however, except that it was ordered that the Chairman of the Board of Magistrates be requested to call a meeting of the Board for the' purpose of having a joint meeting of the Board of Magistrates and the County Commissioners in regard to the matter, to be held on Wednesday, March 31st. The steamer .Peed, which went to the assistance of the -steamer Enchantress, suc ceeded in lowering the water in the latter vessel to a . considerable extent, but was compelled to leave on account of the rough weather. The indications are now favor able for getting the Enchantress afloat. - WHOLE NO. 6088 weatner Indications The following are the indications foi io day: .
