The discontinuance of the day train on the Carolina Central Rail road necessitates Ihe resumption of the, evening edition of the Stab, which, beginning to-morrow, the I5tb, will be sent to all subscribers on the line of the Carolina Central and its connections, including Fay etteville. In-. consequence "of the change, the Stab will not reach tire' subscribers mentioned above to mor row, but on the following day. The evening edition will contain the Wil mington markets of the date of issue and all important telegrams received ip to the hour of going to press. The latest news of this edition will always be found on second and third pages. Lawrence Barrett is delighted with the results of his combination with Ed win Booth. They will con tinue it. Barrett is the manager and a good one. After their New York engagement they spend thir teen weeks in a Southern tour. They will go as far as Texas and then to San Fraucisoo. They wiH travel in their own private car. He S3ys pub lic taste has improved and they have had cultivated audiences. He says: "The public. I think, has had a surfeit of light plays and ia willing and anxious to encourage the higher order of dramas. Of course, our company ia so thoroughly efficient and evenly balanced tfiat. Shakes peare's plays are intelligently interpreted, but fashionable audiences are not alwavs attentive, even to the highest, art. Our presentations, uowever. have been received with interest, and the members of the com pany have been cordially and intelligently encouraged The critics have also been uniformly commendatory of our work, even the severest of them according us the fullest praise that could be bestowed on any dramatic effort." He says he would rather manage than act. There is talk of building a grand theatre in New York where plays can be produced "with every detail." They have had overtures and. are considering them. The North Carolina Baptist Al manac for 1888, published and edited by our brother Bailey of the Biblical Recorder, is the neatest of all home publications of the kind. It is just what it claims to be a Baptist Al manac, and is sold for 10 cents. Dur ing the year the following ministers have died -Elders John E. Monta gue, J. F. Moore, George W. Huf nara, L. E. Dancan, E. A. Best, John A. Farthing, J. P. Montague, T. J. Webb, Zicbariah Allen, James Weathers, Daniel McDowell, Allen S. Wynn-12 in all. It is reported "from Washington that Roger Q. Mills, of Texas, will be Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, and Randall will be Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations. It is said that there is an understanding that Randall is not to oppose the Democratic Tariff Reform bill. It is also thought that the measure will ' not go to the ex tent recommended and urged by the President. ' It ia probable that to placate certain Southern Democrats the tobacco tax will be lifted. But the liquor tax will remain. Mr. Frank Hurd, one of the ablest of living Democrats and a strong Tariff reformer, has this to say of Mr. Cleveland's much talked of message: "On this tariff issue the Democratic party can carry the Northwest. Such States as Michigan. Iowa, Nebraska, Wis consin anl Minnesota ate with us on the question. There will be only eight or ten States left to the Republicans. As for breaking upthe South you cannot do that." It will take a strong fight to save at least two Southern States, but it can be done. The New York World's Wash ington special tells of the brutal treatment to which Mr. Nadal, a na turalized citizen of New York, was subjected iu Porto Rico. He was arrested on a charge of conspiracy agaiost the Spanish Gpvernment in the West Indies, was confined to a dungeon and terribly punished by a military guard. A prominent North Carolinian resi- don!, at. Raleitrh writes us on 10th Nw O December as follows: 'The editorial in the Stab of yesterday nn ih "Virginia cases' ts a true represent tation of the patriotic sentiment of the whole country, ana tne aesenpuon ui uo character of Judge Bond is obliged to find a re-erbo-in every honeBt heart.

One of the advertisements Is signed by James Owen, President of the Wilmington & Raleigh Railroad Co., calling on the stockholders to pay an instalment of $8 per share on the 1st of March, 1839. An advertisement, signed by W. C. Lord and T, H. Wright, calls for "pro posals for pulling down the Episcopal Church in tnis place and cleaning the brick."

"We observe that Judge Strange has introduced into the Senate the petition of the people of Wilmington, asking for the erection of light- nouses on Oak Island and Campbell Island." Papal NomlnatlODS. The Rt. Rev. Leo Haid has been nominated Vicar Apostolic proper of North Carolina. When Bishop Nor throp was consecrated Bishop of Charleston, North Carolina was left without a Vicar Apostolic. Bishop Northrop then acted as administrator to North Carolina until a vicar apos tolic should be nominated. This nomination, the Charleston News and Courier says, has been made by the Pope, whose choice, as has been men tioned, fell upon the Rt. Rev. Leo Haid. All will remember his conse cration as abbot of St. Mary's College, in North Carolina, on Thanksgiving Day at the Cathedral Chapel, by the Rt. Rev. H. P. Northrop in 1885. Abbot Leo Haid, previous to his coming South, was chaplain of St. Vincent's College, in Pennsylvania, the largest institution under the di rection of the Benedictine Fathers. Here, also, he taught the higher branches of the English language. His merits, piety and indomitable energy in administering the duties of his position won for him the high es teem of .the members of his Order.and it was because the Benedictines wished to make St. Mary's College in North Carolina one of the first of the excellent institutions under the su pervision of their Order that they se lected Abbot Haid. On the day of his arrival at St. Mary's College a complete change began. I he num ber of applicants was so large that a new and more capacious building had to be constructed. This was soon done, and while a year ago the num ber of students did not exceed forty, now it exceeds . a hundred. All this was owin&r to the zeal and energy of the Rev. Abbot. His ability in di recting and his prudence in acting has recommended him to the Pope and the position of vicar apostolic of North Carolina could not be filled by a more worthy person to succeed tne admirable administrator the Rt. Rev. H. P. Northrop. Colored Masons. The Grand Lodge of colored Ma sons of North Carolina convened yes terday morning in this city at Giblem Lodge, Grand Master Stewart Ellison, of Raleigh, presiding. There are quite a number of delegate from all parts of the State in attendance. Snads Trsss. - Mayor Fowler has made a contract with Mr. L. Johnson, of Point Caswell for five hundred elm trees, to be set out in two rows, on Fifth street. Private parties who wish to obtain trees can obtain them from the elty authorities.- OTsattosr Indication- The following are the indications for to-day, received at 1 a. m.: For Virginia, warmer fair weather light to fresh winds, becoming east erly. For North Carolina and South Car olina, slightly warmer, fair weather, followed by rain, light to fresh east erly winds, increasing in force. New System of Slcnals Adopted; The Atlantic Coast Line has adopt ed the Westinghouse system of auto matic signals in place of the bell system now in use for starting and stopping trains. The new system is said by railroad men to be a great improvement upon the old. ' The cars are now being equipped with it and it will soon be used exclusively on all passenger trains run over this line. Instead of the clumsy gong and bell rope, by means of which the con ductor now gives his orders to the engineer, the Westinghouse system consists of a small whistle which is placed in the cab of the engine and is operated by.means of air valves attached to each car in the train. The valves are opened by pulling a cord which extends through the en tire train, so that the conductor has no trouble in signaling thje engineer from any car in the train: The valveB are supplied by the same power that works the air-brakes, and are ' con nected by means of rubber joints uri der the platforms, just as in the case of air-brakes. The new system is said to be more reliable in everyway, as there is less danger of breakage than with ;the bell rope, and the con ductor is able to give his signals more quickly, more-easily and more dis tinctly.
