In the Senate yesterday Mr. Call

fixed as the time for taking a vote on

bill making bills of lading conclusive
evidence in certain cases, and the
special committee to investigate the
labor troubles in Pennsylvania was
announced. The Democratic

tives held a caucus yesterday, an4

THE UA1LBOAD ? SUBSCRIPTION,
It? will be well for the friends of
the two'railroad subscriptions to be
submitted to the voters of Wilmina-
toa, March 1, to organize. The onlv
danger to be apprehended is in a
failure to bring the requisite number
of voters to the polls. A "maioritv
of the registered vote (not simply of
those who vote) must be polled in
favor of the subscriptions to -make
them valid; and to avoid any possi-
Diuty of legal complications after
wards, that majority should be made
as large as possible. Let it not be
forgotten that the friends of sub
scription must bnng their voters to
the polls, while the votes of all who
remain away from the polls coant
against subscription just the same
as if they were cast that way.
There are only seventeen workine
days before the election, and what
ever is to be done should be done
quickly. There should be a strong,
active organization in each Ward,
and the Stab suggests that immedi
ate steps be taken, through public
meetings or otherwise, as may seem
best, to perfect such organization.
'The Stab favors both proposi
tions, believing that neither can be
carried without a combination of the
friends of both; and feeling that if
subscription is defeated now, the
whole question may be indefinitely
postponed.

Since the year 1865 the people

The South is paying annually quite
twenty-five millions to Yankee sol
diers. This is about $1.2 5 for every
man, woman and child in the whole
South. This is what the toilers must
pay.
The North distrusts all Southern
men who have not crawled on their

Festival or JfXontHs.
The ladies who have woTked so in
dustriously and faithfully for weeks
past in the preparation of this enter
tainment, have felt considerably en
couraged by the very liberal patron
age they are receiving each evening,
and express themselves as being un
der great obligations to almost all of
the religious denominations of this
city, whohave so kindly assisted
them in labor, material, donations,
contributions, patronage, etc., and to
many in other places in our own
State, as well as elsewhere, who have
so kindly sent in their donations and
contributions some of them unex
pectedly and unsolicited and for all
of which they return their heartfelt
thanks.
Among other contributions from
our sister town of Fayetteville, and
which are on sale, are a number of
memorial book-marks, printed in gold
letters, one on white and others
upon black ribbon, and some of them
reading as follows:
"In memory of Rev. L. S. Burkhead,
D, D. who died Deoember, 2d, 1887, at
Fayetteville, N. C, during the session
of the M.-E. Conference held in that
place.
Servant of God, well done;
Rest from thy loved employ."
and the other reading:
"In memory of Capt. Wm. M. Par
ker, who died. December 7th, 1887, at
Fayetteville, N. C, at the close of the
session of the N. C. Conference held
in that place. 'He iriveth His beloved
sleep.' "
In memory of two true, trusted,
tried, faithful and good men, who
were were well known in this commu
nity. The attendance last evening was
very large and the competitive drill
of the Wilmington Light Infantry re
sulted in favor of Mr. Ed. More, and
the prize, which was a handsome
gold-headed cane, was presented by
Col. Roger Moore.
To-night's entertainment closes the
"Festival of Months," and those who
have not attended should do so, as
they not only contribute to a good
and worthy object, but witness what
a gentleman of experience says is the
handsomest thing of the kind ever in
Wilmington, while there is nearly
everything to tempt the appetite or
articles to please the fancy.
or Interest to tbe Snipping- Trade.
The Collector of Customs at this
port heCs received official notification
by circular from the Commissioner of
Navigation at Washington, D. C.,that
vessels may be entered in the ports of
the United States from any of the
ports of the Empire of Germany with
out the payment of tonnage dues, un
less the vessel shall belong to a for
eign country ia whose ports the fees
or dues imposed on American vessels
or the duties on their cargoes exceed
those imposed on its own vessels or
exceed those imposed on the vessels
of Germany or their cargoes. This
law went into effect February 28th,
and the Commissioner directs that
certified statements may be forwarded
for a refund of the dues on tonnage
paid on the entry from German ports
of vessels exempted from the tax, and
which were entered at any port of the
United States on or since the 26th
ultimo. The Collector is requested
to notify the department of any ton
nage tax or other equivalent tax or
taxes which may be imposed hereaf
ter on vessels of the United States in
any port of the German Empire, and
to exercise care to levy tonnage dues
on all vessels from said ports of any
foreign country which discriminates
in its own ports against vessels of the
United States or their cargoes in
favor of its own vessels or of the ves
sels of Germany.
Further notification is given that
vessels belonging to Great Britain,
France, Germany, Denmark, Holland,
Sweden, Norway, Belgium and Por
tugal, arriving in the United States
directly from the ports of the Ger
man Empire may be admitted under
this proclamation without the pay
ment of the dues mentioned six
cents per ton.
Fire Alarm K,ast Evening
A stick of llghtwood, on fire in the
onoiTifl mnm of the steamer Enter
prise, lying at her wharf near the
foot of Princess street, created a utu
excitement for a few minutes yester
day evening about seven o'clock.
The fire was extinguished with two
or three buckets of water, and the
boat sustained no damage. In the
meantime, however, an alarm had
been turned in from box 24, which
brought the full strength of the Fire
Department to Market street dock,
when it was ascertained that the
fire was "all out." Engines and, reels
all made remarkably quick time in
responding to- the alarm. The
"Atlantic" reel came first, leading the
Hook and Ladder truck by a length
or so In a race down Market from
Fourth street. These were quickly
followed by ;the "Adrian" and "Cape
Fear" in the order named. A close
observer says that he is convinced
that all were at the foot of ..Market
street inside of a - minute and a half
after the alarm was turned in.
