OUTLINES.
The nomination, of Mr. Lamar for
Supreme Court Judge -was yesterday
confirmed in Executive sessioo."of the
Senate by a vote of 32 to 28; the ses
sion was a protracted one, and a
number of speeches were made in
opposition, while Mr. Riddleberger
made the only speeches in favor of
the nomination; the nominations
of Messrs. Yila's and Dickinson
were confirmed without debate; the
proceedings in open session of the
Senate were without interest.
In the House a number of bills and
resolutions were introduced and re
ferred, and a lengthy debate took
place on an amendment which was
offered to a resolution assigning
clerks to all committees; the resolu
tion as reported was finally adopted.
t The striking employes of the
Reading Road held a meeting in Read
ing on Sunday, and a meeting was
also held in the same city by the new
employes of the Road, and impartial
observers of the proceedings believe
that within the present week a break
in the strike will come. Texas is
making preparations for a grand
inter-State military drill on the oc
easion of the dedication of the new
capitol building in Austin, in May
next; prizes, running up into the
thousands, will be awarded to the
best drilled companies. Reports
from the great storm in the North
west show that it was of unexampled
fury; a large number of persons were
frozen to death, ancfc every railroad
in some of the States was blocked.
Destructive fires are reported in
Minneapolis, Minn., Biloxi, Miss.,
Dennison, Texas, Sedalia, Mo., and
New York city. A railroad wreck,
near Topeka, Kansas, yesterday, injured-
twelve persons, one fatally.
The employes of the Troy Steel
and Iron Co. have struck against a
reduction in wages, and the works
will be closed; the Company paid
100,000 a month in wages. Up
to this time 135 deaths have been
caused by the blizzard in the North
west, and 55 are reported missing.
A steel gun, weighing nine tons,
was successfully cast at the Pittsburg
works yesterday. Speaker Car
lisle was attacked with a congestive
chill, while at dinner, yesterday af
ternoon, the result of the low state
of his nervous system, caused
by over-work; his condition was
improved at a late hour last night.

The Democratic members of the
House Ways and Means Committee
all agree that a Tariff bill be passed
tbi-j session and that the internal
n venue laws will not be abolished.
The Reidsville Weekly says that
E preventative Henderson told itB
editor that "there was not the ghost
of a chance for the Biair bill to pass
thy House' This is indeed glorious
r;"s, if true. - "
ReceDt news from Bucharest is to
the effect that Prince Ferdinand has
resolved to defend his throne at all
hazards. He. gays be will leave bis
bones on the field of battle rather
than abdicate. Plucky and back
ho?iy, but is it wise ?
On the final vote for the seating of
Carlisle in the House Committee on
Eiections,all the Democrats voted and
three Republicans, Cooper, Rowell
and JohneoD, of Indiana twelve
affirmative. Lyman, Houk and
Lodge, Republicans, asked to be ex
cused from voting.
It seems that Mr. Mills, chairman
of the Ways and Means Committee,
is already in trouble. He is a; per
plfexedaleader. He made the declara
tion that he had the right to manage
and direct the House, and this caused
Rome coneterDation on the Democratic
side of the House and some good-natured
badinage.
Jim Boyd, of KuKlux memory, is
to be the Republican candidate for
Governor, it is said. He is smart
and good looking and it will take a
decidedly good "stamper" to meet
hirn in the canvass, if a joint canvas
is to be conducted. The Star has
opp sd such canvasses heretofore as
'ad policy.

there are thousands of men in North
Carolina who would be equal to the
office and fill it with credit. But
the real question is ' Who can be
elected rwho can make a long, able,
thorough canvass?"
Sunset Cox is not only the bright
est man in the Congress but be is one
of the wisest, truest and ablest. He
is a sound Democrat if he does live
in New York City. He was born in
Ohio. In a short .speech the other
day about fisb, he got off this bit of
humor and learning and .wisdom:
"When our ancestors I refer to New
Eogland where I was educated when our
ancestors went to King James for a char
ter to go aeross seas and colonize Massa
chusetts, the King asked the Puritans
"What is your object ? What do von
intend V
Their answer was: "To worship Go i and
catch fish 1" rLaoirhter.'i
Then the king rejoined: "I give you
the charter. Fore Gad I It is the A-Dostle's
own calling !" Renewed laughter.
Why, sir, eveu in the early churches of
New England the car'y aDd pioua Puritans
need to sing:
Ye monsters of- thehubbliog deep.
Your Maker's name uprafse;
Up from the sands ye codlings peep,
And wag your tails always,
Laughter and applause.
So that in early New England the cure
and care of fisb was concomitant with
commerce, liberty, and sanctity. In later
times New England has obtained Con
gressional enactments giving free salt for
her fisb. while the miserable rmn in
Chicago can not get free salt (or his pork.
Laughter.
The First Baptist Church was filled
on Sunday with very large congre
gations to bear Rev. Mr. Creasy,
both morning and night. His ser
Inon iu the morning was wonderfully
interesting and strikingly original
and happy. His sermon at night
was of equai interest, bat not sa im-
pressive auogetcer. rat Dotn ser-
mons were charming, ana we nave
no doubt this is the opinion of all.
We have not heard in - one day from
the same person two sermons of
equal interest since we heard the
two wondrous discourses of Dr. Mil
burn nearly live years ago. We
shall not follow Mr. Creasy farther
n bis preaching as he has already in
troduced himself so successfully to
the people of Wilmington. If he
had preached to his own people only
we would not have noticed the dis
courses however excellent as it is not
our purpose "to run" one church or
one preacher.
We have rot as yet had the pleas
ure of hearing Rev. Robert Strange,
the new rector of St. James. We
earn from many of his attendants
that the congregation is .highly
pleased with his eermoce, which are
delivered withcut notes, and indicate
thorough preparation and good abil
ity. He is besides - a gentleman of
fine social qualities and is also a dili
gent pastor. Rev. Mr. Arnold, the
new rector of St. PaoFs, is- sustain
ing himself capitally in his new field,
and a new impulse has been given to
his parish. His people think him
the best preacher in the city, and
many persons not members are fre
quent attendants upon his ministry.
We have heard. -him-"but-once and

The membership are having the

A correspondent of the Star writes
that the statement telegraphed from
Bessemer, Ala., a few days ago, in re
lation to the shooting of Mr. Thbmas
Ruffin by a negro, was incorrect. The
following, he says, is a correct' ac
count of the' affair, viz:
"It seems that the negro who shot
him (Mr. Ruffin) had been lying in his
shanty Monday morning, refusing to
go to work, when a Mr. Quinn who
as charge of the hands went and
ordered the negro, out, and upon his
refusal to work, kicked him out An
hour or two afterwards this negro
and another came Into the Btore of
which Mr. Thomas Ruffin had charge
and began, diaeussing the affair,
using very vile and profane language.
Thomas, after standing it as long
aa he could, told them he had heard
enough of it and they must dry up
and get out of there, whieh they pro
ceeded to do. In ten or fifteen min
utes Thomas went from the store to
his car to make preparations for
breakfast: then back to the store, and
got the clerk and started to breakfast.
Upon getting thirty or forty yards
from the store he found the negroes
still cursing in a loud and boisterous
manner, and nourishing their pistols.
He again ordered them to leave.wheu
Allen B ankshear said, 'I'll do no such
thing, d n you; and if you open your
mouth, I'll shoot you,' and with that
pointing his pistol at him. Thomas.
seeing he was going to shoot, jumped
at him to catch the pistol, but in the
scuffle caught the arm too high up,
when the nesrro trot the pistol between
them and fired. Fortunately, the pis
tol seems to have been pointed down
ward instead or norizotally. and the
ball went in about two inches to the
left of and below the navel and ran ered
downward toward the left hip, miss
ing tne intestines. The doctor thinks
it is imbedded in the bone, but sayB
ne cannot ten yet. rnonias1 compan
ion, Mr. id o ward, ran in to separate
them, and did shove the negro back,
when the other negro presented his
pistol and made him desist, thus let
ting the necrro - Allen eet awav.
Thomas did not know be was shot
until he walked to the car and one of
his companions told him his clothes
weje burning, and upon examination
he found he was wounded. He then
sent for the physician. His friends
have been very attentive and kind.
His employers had him brought up
here yesterday afternoon arid ordered
that every attention possible should
be paid him."
Aodlt and Finance.
The Board of Audit and Finance
met in regular session last njght at
the City Hall. Present, Mr. R. J.
Jones, chairman, and Messrs. W. I.
Gore, Wm. Calder, J. W. Hewitt, J.
F. Maunder.
Bills were audited and approved as
follows: Current expenses, $640.61;
coupons, $4,554.
Two hundred.and fifty-six coupons
were burned in the presence of the
Board.
.Bill of Jas, F. Post for $568,20, bal
ance of amount due for construction
of new guard house, was referred to
committee on Public Buildings of the
Board of Aldermen, with the request
that the contract accompany the
bill.
Bill of Fowler & Morrison for coal,
was deferred, with the inquiry, "why
do they charge more than contract
price for coal furnished engine
houses ?" .
Bill of George Honnett, for $50, for
care of the city clock, was referred to
the mayor, with the request that
some ofheial be instructed to see that
the contrast is complied with.
The Board adjourned subject to the
call of the chaTrmanT'

A series of delightful performances
can be looked forward to in the ap

three greatest plays. "Fairy Fingers"
on Friday evening, "Pygmalion and

and "Frou Frou'? on Saturday even
ing. The display of dresses during
the engagement will be a revelation
of the modistes, art. , In "Fairy Fin
gers" M'lle Rhea .wears no less than
five different dresses, and one of the
scenes from this charming comedy
represents the interior of a Parisian
modiste, and he display of dresses is
said to be one of ' splendor. The
Providence .'jat-oem'n Telegram of Oc
tober, 4th says of - this scene: "Not
once, nor twice, nor" thrice, but fuTI a
dozen times the curtain had to be
raised l&st-night in response to calls
from the audience, before it finally
fell upon the closing scene of 'Fairy

Mr. Frank S. Clark, a practical
chemist, who has been in this city,
for several months, has made ar
rangements with the Carolina Oil
and Creosote Company for the utili
zation of the pyroligneous acid pro
duced at the works of the company
in the manufacture of pine wood oil.
Buildings and the necessary appara
tus will be put up at once for the
manufacture of acetate of lime, wood
alcohol, and perhaps other products
to be obtained from the acid. A great
quantity of pyroligneous acid is pro
duced daily at the works of the Creo
sote Company, which heretofore has
been largely a waste product, there
being no demand for it in its crude
state except from certain parties who
use it for disinfecting purposes.
