A divorce trial in progreas in Brooklyn, N.Y., is described at length in the Herald. The complainant is Mrs. Coxe, wife of Franklin Coxe, both of North Carolina. The cause is the Mormonistic tastes of her hus bacd. She was a Miss Williams, from jitar Charlotte, and he wat? from Rutherford county. Mr. George Parsons Lathrop, a man of tine literary parte, and who married Hawthorne's gifted daugh ter, Rose, says of the young Vir ginia lawyer and author: "Mr Page has bounded into fame by the force of his genius, his originality and his riBrraiive skill. He is a genuine, unlmita ii?e American raconteur." Baron Hirscb, a very rich Jew, has given $10,000,000. to found schools for his race in Russia, and $200,000 for charity. A London special to the World says: "The $10,000 000 are to be paid into the Bank of Eogland, and Baron Rothschild and Biron De Worms, who were appointed trustees, and who will be replaced in case of death, will receive the interest of the sum so deposited. It is estimated that, with its annual interest of aout $500,000, it will be possible to open 1,000 schools, re ceiving 50.000 children." Senator Turpie, who succeeds ilarrisou from Indiana, a Republi can, is a man of brilliant parts and is said to be more bitingly satirical than Ingalle. He is a fine debater and enters the Senate with a reputa tion that ho will have to strive to maintain. A writer in the N. Y.

Among those invited to par ticipate were two Southrons. Prof. w R. M. Johnston and Mr. Thomas N. Page. The World has tfiis brief re ference to their performances: "The reeentinrr m rt nf. rrt JNelson Pace, and Mr Rinhtrr? m.i,i. Jonnslon was not all that it ought to have been. Howells and others of the North were received with great demonstra tion of applause. The surplus taxes must be reiWerl r what mehod shall they be reduced ? In 1801, Gallatin wrote to Jefferson ; v T strike at the root of th evil. nnthinir can be more effectual than a repeal of ail internal taxes." N. T.-Star. In 1801, the total revenue taxes amounted to only about $1,000,000. There was no huge war debt to pay and there was no use for the money. Why is a tax on a hat or a pair of shoes or a blanket or a jack-knife, or trace chains, or cotton ties, or medi cine, crockery and cqmmog window glass, a more unreasonable, undemo cratic, unjust tax than a tax on drinks, smokes, chews and dips? It is not so. Senator Gorman, of Maryland, h confident that a Tariff bill will be passed during the approaching ses sion of Congrees. He is anxious for Mr. Carlisle to take the leadership and- decline the Speakership. We hope not. He is probably right in what follows, according to a special in the Charleston News and Courier'. "There is no denying the fact. sa?s the Senator, that the majority is sadly in need of a recognized leader, for at present there are so many would-be leaders of the same size in the House that confusion is sure to follow. Here, be says, is a great opportu nity for Mr. Carlisle, but 4t is not probable that be will accept it. A negro woman died at Columbia, C, after a long illness. A dispatch to the New York Herald says: ' The procession had escorted the body a mile and a half when the pall-bearers were terrified by a crying noise resembling the mewing of a cat, which proceeded from the coffin. The procession come to a halt; the coffin was opened when it was discovered the woman was alive, but unconscious, and that a new-born babe shared the coffin with her. Both were taken to a neighboring bouse, and at last accounts the mother was doiag well and ber complete recovery was expected.

It circulates over 100,000 copies daily. It is plain spoken, earnest, and is not afraid to proclaim its convictions. whatever enemies and growlers may say. In its last issue it 6ays: "If the Administration and the Represen tatives of the people shall conclude to bow to the behest of Monopoly and step upon the platform of the Republican party, by preserving the iniquitous tariff duties and meeting the fiscal emergency by a repeal of the whiskey and tobacco taxes. The Re cord is free to say that the Democracy will have been betrayed, and that it would be better if the Republican party should re turn to power." The gas well indastry of Pennsyl- 1 m . yama is stupendous. more man 200,000 acres have been bored over for gas wells.

A petition signed by many of the merchants and other business men of the city has been laid before the Pro duce Exchange and Chamber of Com merce, as follows : Gehtmiceit We, the undersigned, most respectfully and earnestly ask that your bodies use their influence in endeavoring to get the several rail roads leading to the city to sell round trip tickets to this city for one first class fare, at least one day in each week : said tickets to be good for 48 hoars, and to be used only on local passenger trains. If the tickets, good for 48 hours, cannot 'be secured, then w ask.' that the. effort be made to 1ieeureit, gocd for84hours.N , mm N. C, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1887. The market All the markets are on a boom, and wheat and corn and cotton and pork and ribs are "climbing up the golden stair" and leaving the bears, behind. Wheat has made a steady and healthy advance, and corn has risen rapidly and astonishingly, while the "despis ed cereal," oats, has shown surprising activity, apd the "poor man's deal," as a "flyer" in oats is called, is bulg ing the pockets of those fortunate enough to have bought a little down in the twenty-nines. Corn has fairly astonished the na tives and seems but-pluming itself for a higher flight, and a prominent bear in Chicago, who has had to change his tactics and opinion on this article, cravely asserts it will reach near sixty cents for May. Let the little bears charge up their losses and take the bull side and win it back. There is no use fighting senti ment, and the country and the traders have evidently concluded corn is a good thing to buy. There is plenty time ahead to sell it in and it is safer and more profitable to sell at sixty than sell it now at fifty-three and fight it up. Cotton scores a daily advanoe and the believers in higher prices are nu merous. Some sanguine "bulls ' are predicting fancy prices for the spring months, but there are some bears that think the top is almost reached, and that the present range of values is too high. Should Bradstreet's Re port confirm the estimates lately made by the Cotton World and Agri cultural Bureau, the price of the sta ple will advance materially. V m m m Tb Wilmington Ulloetrele. The prospective "Banjo and Bone" troupe became a reality last evening, when the chief agitators of the move ment called a meeting at Messrs. Dick & Meares' store to organize the Club. The following officers were elected: President W. A. Dick. Vice President Geo. W. Chestnutt. Secretary and Treasurer J. W. Stedman. Business Manager C. C. Chad bourn. Musical Director Professor A. T. Holmes. The organization is to be designa ted as the Wilmington Minstrels, and is to consist of about thirty members, representing the best local musical talent and the most noted wits, hu morists and "Old Sports" of this sec tion. The object of the association is to give several performances during the present season for the benefit, of some charitable institution. The organizers are excellent repre sentatives of the progressive young America, of this eity, and with proper encouragement they will, no doubt, accomplish their aim and amuse our people as well as assist a worthy cause. An Important meeting. A meeting of the stockholders of the Water WAb company was held last night and from all that could be learned it seems very probable that the company will try the expert ment of boring artesian wells, and it is hoped that the venture will be a successful one. Mr. C. H. Ray, representing the firm of Ray & Hambley, contractors for boring wells, is in the city, and has submitted a proposition to the Water Works company and it is ru mored that a contract has been made, though it has not been official ly announced yet. Messrs. Ray & Hambly have recent ly bored wells for the city of Fernan dina and also for the Creosote Com pany in that city which proved very satisfactory. The public generally will be much gratified if the Water Works Company will bore wells, for if they produce good water, the bene fit will be incalculable and will show an enterprise in the company which cannot fail to receive commendation. Wilmington to bt the Next 11 ace ol meeting or the Lutheran Snotf. The United Synod of the Lutheran Church, which has been in session several days at Savannah, Ga., ad journed last Tuesday to meet in this city on the third Thursday in No vember, 1889.

Flret Day'a f ion Trior Than SSO ministers ana Delegate Present. (Special Correspondence. Fayette ville, November 30. The Conference opened Tuesday night with a powerful sermon on 'The Pentecost," by Bishop Key. The con gregation was stirred to the utmost limits. At the close of the sermon the Bishop called all the ministers to the altar for a consecration prayer, which was led by Rev. P. J. Carraway. The Bishop preaches holiness and urges thorough consecration to God. At 9 o'clock to-day the first business session was held. Donald W. Bain, of Raleigh, was elected Secretary, and Rev. W. L. Cunninggim and three other ministers were elected assist ants. The roll was called and more than two hundred and fifty ministers and delegates answered to the roll call an unusually large attendance for the first calL The Bishop then called for re porta from the thirteen Presiding Elders. The reports were full, indicating that their work had been well done. All of them passed as to character. Rev. J. T. Harris, of Newbern Dis trict, seems to be the "model" Pre siding Elder. Reports were then heard from the pastors on the Raleigh District. Re ports were very encouraging. Six teen young men are asking: for ad mission to the Conference. The most of them will be admitted. The usual committees were appointed on all the Church relations, and the Conference adjourned at 1.30 p. m. Preaching to-night by Revs. Jessie H. Page and D. H. Tuttle at the two Methodist churches. SECOSD DAT. Dec. 1, 1887. Conference convened at 9.30 jhis morning. Religious ex ercises conducted by Rev. T. H. Pe- 1 gram of the Greensboro District. The Conference roll was called, an addi tional arrival of ministers and dele gates noted. Col. Palmer, Business Manager of the Southern Methodist Publishing House, was introduced to the Conferencee and talked as to the interest of the house which he repre sented as in a most flourishing condi tion. He says his accounts against North Carolina preachers are worth 100 cents on the dollar the excep tions are "scarce as hen's teeth." Col. Palmer said that the circulation of the Nashville Christim Advance was 30,000 and on a steady increase. The "class of the first year" was called at this point their reports heard, which showed that no man need despise the work of their youth as ministers. The class stood well on their examination and were continued on trial. The class of the second year was culled ; reports heard, which in most cases showed work, Eight young men were elected to deacon's orders. President Crowell, of Trinity College, was intro duced to the conference ; he is un doubtedly a man of affairs. Miss Lucinda B. Helm, of Louisville, Ky., and President of the Woman's Par sonage and Aid Society of the M. E. Church, South, was announced as present, and a meetinglof the ladies was held at 12 m. in the Sunday school room of the church. The preachers are all pleased with the gushing, un bounded hospitality of the people of Fayetteville. There is a large attendance of ladies, whose smiling presence adds geniality to the gathering how they make the young preachers feel like a spring morning. The Bishop con tinues to impress every one as a man of deep spirituality he urges the ministry to holy living in all rela tions of life Dr. James E. Mann will preach in the Methodist church to nigt. Dr. J. R. Brooks in the Baptist ehurch. Conference adjourned at one o'clock with benediction by the Bishop. Dai. Death of Mr, marjr Wallace. It i with feelings of sadness we chronicle the decease of this estima ble lady. For some time past her health has been failing, but not until the last few days was her condition considered critical. She was the wife of Mr. S. D. Wallace, and only a year or so ago they celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their wedding. She warn life-long and consistent member of the Methodist Church, and her acts of charity, her kindness, her willingness to assist those whom fortune had not favored, will cause her to he remembered long and pleas antly by those to whom her virtues had endeured her. We extend to the family our warm est sympathies in this dark hour of their afflction and bereavement. Harbor master' Rrport. Capt.
