The Senate was not in session yester day; in the House the World "s Fair resolution was again considered, and finally the original one reported by the committee was. adopted; the bill to pro vide for town site entries of land in Oklahoma was then taken up, but pend ing action the House adjourned. The World's Fair question is exciting great interest in Washington; the action of the House yesterday leaves the ques tion of choosing the site entirely with the special committee of nine members, but it will probably be relegated to the House; the friends of the several eities contending for the location were very active. The Argentine Republic has formally recognized the new Re public of Brazil. A dispatch from St. Louis states that large numbers of negroes will leave North Carolina this winter for new homes in Portugal has complained to Hismarck that Great Britain has the Berlin treaty, and asks that ference be held to discuss African aSatas. The flood in the Wabash river is still rising, and it is expected will reach the high-water mark of J 884; great quan tities of corn have beon destroyed, and the farmers are moving everything they can to the highlands; hundreds of fami lies have been driven from their homes. A married lady and two youths were struck and killed yesterday on the Pennsylvania railroad. A member of the Ohio Senate died yesterday from pneumonia, and another one is very ill. A negro, in Cincinnati, who had b -en suffering from influenza, was at tacked yesterday with sneezing, and died before relief could be obtained. Dun it Co. report a general improvement in a!l branches of trade; business failures for the week number 833. against 378 last week.

Wne.i the Cronin murderers lar.ded at Joliet State prison felt so bad that one of them thev were "all broke up." If were they said thev had got their deserts, they should have been all strung up. Senators had better be careful how they tackle Senator Turpie of Indiana. He can talk back at 'em in seven languages besides English and the Hoosier language both of which he slings with easy grace and mas terful vigor. Complaint is made in Maryland that the twenty-six State Senators at Annapolis have twenty-one officials to wait on them and only two chap lains to pray for them. Being a Democratic Senate perhaps they think they don't need much praying for. Chicago can never expect to have the World's Fair unless she takes up the Chicago river, bat hes it, fumi gates it, and perfumes it with some thing more congenial to the nostrils of strangers than the essence of tan-yards, shambles, glue facto ries, &c. The Cincinnati Times-Star, a lead ing Republican organ, is getting scared at the extravagant pension legislation and asks "Where will all this end ?" It will end, dearly be loved, in the biggest kind of a fune ral with the Republican party as the distinguished corpse. There is a movement in Portugal to boycott British trade because John Bull bullied Portugal on that African question. If England had been deal ing with some of the more robust Eu ropean powers, it is probable that she might not have been quite so ready in the game of bluff. It is said that Calvin S. Bryce, who has just been elected to the United States Senate from Ohio, found it hard to pay his necessary expenses when at college. But he had the sand in him and kept pegging away until he got on top. There are lots of that kind of men in this country. It is said that Gen. Mahone has put on his feathers and war paint, and is going for Col. Brady's scalp. Jt is said that when Mahone does HP-ir-inr-. 1HE VOL. XLV.-NO. 99. this and gets fully waked, there are red streaks all around him, and that when he orates the air becomes abso lutely sulphurous. Mahone is fear ful when he is on the scalp trail. He knows what it is to be scalped. A lineman in New York recently permitted a doctor to tap his veins and draw two pounds of blood to transfuse into the veins of a young lady who had been asphyxiated. Some of the papers up there are mak ing a hero out of him for it, but the probabilities are that being a line man and realizing how rapidly the electric wires are snatching up the linemen he was in that frame of mind that he would just as lief give the girl all the blood in him and die an easy death rather than wait a while and be burned up on a wire. A Republican contemporary re marks that "a majority of mankind are so situated that they must take things as they find them." This taking things as they find them has always been one of the striking characteristics of the Republican officeholders, and it has also built up rt t a nounsning American .colony in ar.ada, and prevented our peniten- anes from becoming lonesome. Thomas T. Fortune, a colored ed itor of New York, don't like the words "negro," "colored people," "blacks," "darkies," as applied to the negro. He don't think they are suf ficiently descriptive, and suggests that Afro-American would be bet tor. Thus another hyphenated fea ture is added to the race problem which is taxing the wits of our states men. PRAISE FOR THE STAR. AskrvilU Journal. The Wilmington Morning Star has pt on a new dress.

The following were the proceedings before the Mayor yesterday morning: Joseph Ward, colored, disorderly con duct, $20 and costs, or 80 days imprison ment. The same defendant in a second charge of the same nature, was required to give bond in the sum of $100 to keep the peace for six months. A stranger from the country was drunk and disorderly, and through his counsel, Mr. A. J, Marshall, submitted, and a fine of $5 and costs was im posed. Walter Yates and J. J. Kennedy, charged with disorderly conduct, had their cases continued until" 3 o'clock yes terday afternoon. Nearly Completed. The Fayetteville Observer says: "The splendid iron bridge of the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley railway is now spanning the Cape Fear river, and in a very few days will be ready for the transpor tation of trains. Few streams are better bridged, as, within a distance of one and a half miles, the Cape Fear is crossed by two costly iron and one durable covered wooden bridge. The eastern extension of the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley rail way has now a gap of only about ten miles to be closed up for communica tion between Fayetteville and Wilming ton, and most probably by the middle of next month there will be uninterrupted travel from the Blue Ridge to the sea coast.

A MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR. - THE DEAD BODY OF W. T. BROWN FOUND ON THE RAILROAD TRACK. Suspicion of Foul Play Arrest of Persons Implicated Coroner's Inquest An In vestigation to be Held To-Bay. The dead body of Wm. Thos. Brown (white) was found early yesterday morn ing near the track of the Wilmington and Weldon railroad, in the cut at Fifth street crossing. It was lying face down ward on the north side of the track, with the head resting on one end of a cross-tie and surrounded by a poolof blood. The discovery of the body was reported at 5.10 a. m., at police headquarters, by Capt. Newell, condnctor on the Atlantic Goast Line.and as soon as possible Coro ner Jacobs was notified. The Coroner went to the place and had the body re moved to the undertaking establishment of Mr. Woolvin. A jury was summoned, consisting of J. L. Williams, foreman, Wm. Genaust, A. F. Davis (whites) and George Frank lin, W, H. Cotton and E. A. Thomas, (colored.) The jury simply viewed the body and adjourned to this morning at 10 o'clock, when the investigation will take place at the County Court House, the following having been sum moned to attend as witnesses: W. H. Holloway, James Canaday; police offi cers Howland and R. H. Moore; E. L. Robinson and J. M. Donlin, railroad employes; J. Pascuel, colored; D. H. Workman, Emma Jackson, and Dr. R. D. Jewett. The Coroner telegraphed to Col. B. R. Moored Solicitor of the" Crim inal Court, who is absent from the city, wishing his attendance at the inquest, but received a reply in the afternoon di recting him to proceed with the case. The body of Brown was examined at the undertaker's by Dr. Jewett, (in the absence of Dr. Potter, county physi cian), and an autopsy was made for the jury, and will be reported at the inquest to-day. The wounds of deceased were all on the head. The face was badly contused on the right side and there was a deep wound like a knife, thrust just between the right eye and the nose. There were also two wounds on the back of the head, crushing the skull. After the autopsy the body of Brown was pre pared for burial and was taken in charge by his brothers for interment at his former home in Onslow county. There are circumstances connected with the death of Brown" which lead strongly to suspicion of murder. Thurs days night a dance was given at a disre putable house on Fifth street between Hanover and Brunswick streets and about fifty yards from the place where Brown's body was found. The ball was given by a woman named Emma Jack son, and from accounts given at the Mayor's Court yesterday morning, the crowd in attendance was very disorder ly. A young man named Walter Yates officiated as "floor manager," and about a quarter to 12 o'clock while the dance was going on, Brown, accompanied by J. J, Kennedy and two or three other men entered the house and wanted to engage in the dance. Both of the men named were under the influ ence ot liquor and objection was made by Yates to their taking part in the "fun. Brown cursed Yates and said if they were not allowed to dance no one else should. Iwo police officers Howland and Moore were called in and suppressed the dis turbance. A short time afterwards Brown again engaged in a difficulty with Yates, and the latter seized a chair and struck Brown with it on the head. The policemen then declared both men under arrest, but before they could get to Brown through the crowd, he escaped through the back door of the house. The officers with Yates in cus tody; started to the guard . house, and when a short distance from the house the prisoner told them that he would go along quietly and would not attempt to escape; but as soon as they released their hold upon him he made a break and got away, and was not seen un til he was arrested at his home yester day morning, after Brown's body was found, as stated above. After the testimony had been taken by the Mayor as above, the hearing was adjourned until three o'clock in the af ternoon. At the hour, the court room was crowded, and the prisoner, Yates, was attended by Mr. Marshall, as coun sel. The Mayor on taking his seat, said that the State was not ready, Dr. Jewett not having prepared his report ot the autopsy. Yates' counsel demurred, stating that the prisoner was charged with disorderly conduct, but the Mayor stated that the warrant issued had been amended, making the complaint under which the prisoner was held assault with a deadly weapon, over which the Court did not have final jurisdiction, and that it would be necessary to continue the case until half-past 3 o'clock this after noon. After the adjournment of Court the following named persons were sum moned and recognized for their appear- ance at tne investigation Deiore tne Mayor this morning : James Sneeden, Hattie Blizzard, Emma Jackson, N. D. Casteen, W. H. Holloway, W, B. Sav age, J. A, Hankins, B. F. Mills, McDuffie, Van Hughes Rob't. Strick land, Liddia Mintz, Martha Skipper, Birdie Smith, Liddie Frie, Eva Robin son, J. M. Woodward, J. J. Canaday. Brown, the deceased, is a married man, and leaves a wife and five children in de pendent circumstances. For several years he has kept a "cart, house," for the accommodation of country people on Market street. Yates is a stone-cutter, is also married, and has a family. The house where the dance was held is a small one-story frame building. It was visited by the police yesterday and inspected, and marks of the row were plainly discernible, the flooring and walls being spattered with blood. Cotton Movement.
