Severe storm -on the lakes ; several wrecks with loss of life, occurred. A brick layer dropped : dead in the postoffice at Charleston, 8. C. -District Attorney Benton of Missouri, suspended by the Pre sident for violating the Executive order against undue activity in elections by office holders, has been reinstated. Hon. George D. Wise, arrested on the'charge of ' being about to engage in a duel, was re leased from bond; it was not intended the warrant should . be , served unless ' Lamb should go to Richmond. Fire in a drug warehouse at Baltimore caused a loss of $35,000; three firemen fell from a build-log-with a ladder- and had their backs bra ken; there injuries were fatal. An attempt to poison the family of P. D. Armour, Chicago, is alleged; the attempt failed. A stage coach containing nine persons, caught "in a snow slide in Colo rado, was carried over a precipice; four of the party were uninjured, the rest are ex pected to die, Heavy mow and a northeast gale are reported in the North west; trains are delayed. Strikers are going back to work in the Chicago stock yards; the militia have been relieved from diity. A railroad wreck caused by the snrw storm occurred in Iowa; many persons were injured but there was no one killed. A meeting of the British Cab inet has been hastily summoned- - New York markets: Money 37per "cent; cotton quiet at 9 3-169c; wheat a shade higher, closing weaker: No. 2 red November nominal at 84c; southern flour quiet but steady; corn lc higher: No. 2 November 45451c; rosin dull at 95c$l 05; spirits turpentine steady at SGf cents. - ' There is an improved condition of affairs in , Ireland, bq the Liberals admit. ' Alf Taylor, although a boy, fought on the Yankee side. It took Demo-( cratic Bob to wax him. Prof. Egbert C. Smith, of Ando ver, on trial for heretical teaching, is said to be a Swedenborgian. Prince W aldeman "is the Czar's brother in law, and still the Russian was not willing for him to rule over Bulgaria. '- ' It 13 etat'ed that Bishop Curtis will have his See in this city. This is a mistake probably. We saw it Wil mington, Delaware. Secretary Manning is far from be ing , recovered. He will never re cover from hi9stroke of paralysis, it is believed in Washington. The English press is not much "disgruntled" at the alleged talk of ex-Minister Lowell about the Eng lish. It pitches into Beecher for his views' of England in a sarcastic and cutting way. ; Mrs. Lucy C. Lilly, author of Sev eral books and a writer for Harper's Young Folks, lived " in a big, fiue rented house in style at St. Vincent's Retreat in Harrison. She has fled to parts unknown and her numerous creditors areJn vain asking where. - Some gnorant and designing poli ticians are putting bad ideas in the heads of some of the negroes in con nection with our State University. The Radicals ruined and closed that honored institution once, and they would do well to keep their hands off now. ; . , From the-Raleigh Biblical Recor der, the ably conducted organ of our Baptist friends, we. learn that the Baptists connected with the State Convention now in session .here (there is also a Western Convention) exdended in 1885 for all work .151, 373 44, and in 1886, $74,6?4 50. A big advance. " The National Teachers' Associa tion in session at Boston, favor the general principles of the Blair Pater nal Pedagogic bill.. They ought to study the Constitution ;and learn something of it before favoring its violation in letter and spirit. As a general thing teachers know precious little of the Charter of our rights and liberties. Maj.' Wm. M. Pegram, who deliv ered an address before the Northern Settlers' Convention at Raleigh, is not editor, as published, but travel ling correspondent of t the Baltimore Manufacturers Record. Mr. R. H. Edmonds is and has tSeen theeditor and will continue to be. It is a use ful publication, and our only objec turn to it is that it favors an uncon stitutional Protective Tariff. - s : -; - Hi 2 iiAfcMitiJ VOL, XXXIX. NO, 49. It seems that Col. William Lamb, during the, recent campaign, went out of his way to say some scandal oua things concerning j Mr. George D. Wise's private life, charging him with , shocking immoralities, Mr. Wise is out in a card in which he says Lamb cannot be recognized- as he does not come within the pale of honor.",' He saysrjjK'-ll'J;.: -'.A discriminating public will hold mo blameless when under circumstances . like these,-; and impelled by a I supreme and righteous indignation. I depart from the even tenor of my way to declare the charge referred to utterly false and baseless, in whole and in part, the author of it an in famous liar , and the purveyor of the scandal to the public ear a filthy scoundrel fit only for the scorn and contempt of all honorable gentlemen. - - - . j ; j . . "I have stated that I have i never had a quarrel with William Lamb, and I can have none with him, now or hereafter, because he is a blackguard in more senses than as a promulgator of a baseless scandal, j and a coward in more views than in ' causing, as me report ot His townsman has it, his own arrest to eicape a duel which he pretended to accept." . :, r , 7 f- -- The ablest party manager in Vir ginia is Mr. John S. Barbour. He has been interviewed as to the cause of Democratic reverses in his State. : He is reported as saying: -."The Democratic disasters in Virginia are due to a feeling of dissatisfaction with the Administration .principally. There were other causes, but this ; Was the main one to create the apathy that' existed. We are all partisans in Virginia. The Mahone men are partisans of the strongest: type. The Democrats who oppose them could not be otherwise if they wished.; The Demo- crats have not been satisfied that the Ma- hone office-holders should remain in office under a Democratic Administration. In other words, they : have not 1 believed that this is a Democratic Administration.? They evidently believe with Jf. C. Democrats that a Democratic Admin istration should use Democratic agents, sentimentality in politics is a humbug. ;' .The Knights of Labor,! it appears, have 3 great rivaL in jthe Trades Unions. They will hold a Conven tion on the 8th -of December at Co-; Iambus, Ohio. The object is to ex tend these organizations! in all the States "to influence State: legislation in the interest or the working classes," and "to disseminate tracts and literature on the labor move ment." One delegate is i allowed from unions of less than 4,000 mem- bera; two for 4,000 or more; three for 8,000 or more and so on. ' We would say that it is a burning shame that the grave of Ambrose P. Hill is unmarked by a fitting monu ment if we drd - not remember f that such a grand hero as our own W. D, Pender slept also in an unmarked grave. There may be some others of our most distinguished dead sol diers without a monument. Ander son and Grimes have : monuments, but what of PettigrowyDanieJ and others ? Daniel is boned at Halifax and there is no monument to his memory. - I The official vote gives Hewitt 22,- 442 over Henry George, j Roosevelt, Rep., got 60,435 votes. The World Bhows from the figures that although Judge Daniels, Dem., was elected to tbe Court of Appeals by 7,000 plu rality, his Republican opponent re ceived 18.373 votes more than the . . i Republican candidate for Mayor. It, therefore, argues reasonably that the George candidacy elected Daniels and thereby helped the Democrats. o?-E3::e axnrsr. Mil AiVEKXlarriif r- . D. L.
