OUTLINES.
The Senate was not in session yester
.l.iy. and but very little business was
transacted in the House; the Journal of
Friday had not been completed at the
hour of meeting, and hence there was no
contest over its approval; a bill was passed
increasing the pension of Gen. Abram
Puryea. which was strongly opposed
by several members, but there were
many speeches in its favor. Great
floods prevail in 'Oregon, resulting from
recent heavy rains; great damage has
been done to the railroads, and an im

The Marquis de Mores, who winr
ed editor Dreyfus of Paris, the other
day, has retired from his western
cattle ranche, to devote his attention
to leading an anti-Semitic movement
m ranee. He thinks the Hebrews
are becoming altogether too conspic
uous and influential in that countrv
Shooting editors isn't an altogether
commendable business, but he would
be in better business in that or in
corralling his long-horn steers on
the western plains, than in making
war on a people, the only cause of
complaint against whom is that they
have the talent and genius not only
to hold their own, but to get on top
in the contest with men, despite the
senseless and proscriptive prejudice
of ages
The most valuable foot ball that
we have seen any mention of came
to light about four years ago in New
Jersey. It was a bundle of old
rags which five boys rolled up to
amuse themselves with. They kicked
it to pieces and kicked out of it $1000
in greenbacks. The money was turned
over to a detective to find the owner
which he has failed to do. One of
the boys has brought suit against
the detective for the money, but the
judge holds that the other four as
partners in the discovery must join
suit to make it hold.
The Republican Lieutenant Gov
ernor of Montana, presiding in the
Senate, has decided to follow Speaker
Reed's example by counting Demo
crats who don't vote as present, to
make a quorum. The Democrats
propose to block that game, however,
by going out of State, and thus pre
vent all legislation until Reed's
disciple takes water and changes his
tactics.
Geronimo no longer lays awake of
nights laying plans to decorate his
belt with the scalps of white men,

now, and has gone to teaching Sun
day school. Behold the effect of
John Wanamaker's example.
Daddy Blair's speech on his bill
to promote mendicancy, sometimes
called the educational bill, but with
more appropriateness, in the lan
guage of the Louisville Courier
Journal, the Educational Bore, must
be a hefty document. He has been
running his wind-mill on it more or
less for the past three days.
The Congressional Committee on
Accounts has reported in favor of al
lowing clerks to members of the
House of Representatives. When
the people come to pass on these ac
counts they will have something to

$33,000 a month.
There is a movement on foot in
New Hampshire to create a great

One of the most important events

and yet no movement has been inaugur

On that day. as officially announced in

will run through from Mount Airy to

that the business men of Wilmington
will take no notice whatever of this

There was some rise in the tem

it remained cool enough to make over
coats comfortable.
Messrs. Paterson, Downing &
Co., cleared yesterday the Norwegian
barque Dovre, for Stettin, with 4,147

Yesterday was a good day for

"Grip" among the workmen

Mr. A. J. Yopp,. on Fifth
street between Chesnut and Mulberry,
has a pear tree in his yard which is now
in full bloom. The pear tree does not
bloom as early as most other fruit trees
and this is a remarkable instance of
early blossoming. The same tree last
year bore a fine crop of large pears, one
of which weighed fifteen ounces.
There is plenty of work for the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals to perform. We see horses
and mules nearly every day hauling
dray loads of wood and merchandise
that ought to be placed on the retired
list and carefully attended to and fed
before they are again permitted to do
any work. To underfeed and overwork
a poor docile dumb beast is cruelty, un
speakable.
More Hydrants Needed.
The experience of yesterday morn
ng's fire is another of the numerous in
stances which go to show the impera
tive necessity of extending our water fa
cilities considerably further east. The
hose on one reel was not long enough
to reach from the nearest hydrant to the
fire, and the first to arrive was helpless
so far as getting a,-stream was concern
ed until the arrival of the other reels, so
as to make hose connections that could
reach the flames. This delay, however
brief it was, undoubtedly caused the loss
of the second building, which might
have been saved, had the hydrants been
nearer.
Painful Accident.
Mr. Theodore Swann, of the Fifth
Ward Hook-A Ladder Company, met
with quite a severe accident at yester
day morning's fire, which will cause him
to keep his house for a week or two.
While trying to cut down a fence to
keep the flames from spreading to some
brushwood, he made an unlucky stroke
and the axe came down and cut off the
ittle toe of the right foot. He was imme
diately conveyed to his home in the
wagon of Chief Newman, and his wound
attended to.
Cotton Beceipts, Etc.
Receipts of cotton at this port for the
week ended yesterday are 1,381 bales,
against 1,81 tor the corresponding
week last year. Receipts for the crop
year from September 1st to February
7th are 126,514 bales, against 141,662 to
same date last season showing a de
crease of 15,148 bales. The stock at this
port is 12,177 bales; at same date last
year5,851 bales.
Safe and Well.
The presiding Elder at the jail informs
'us that there are now nine county pris
oners confined there, two of whom one
white and one black are charged with
capital, offenses. There has been but
very little sickness among those confined
there, and only one case of "la grippe,"
which attacked a prisoner who has since
been discharged by reason of expiration
of term of service.

The New president A Hice Introduction
to the People of Wilmington.
Concerning the appointment of Mr.
Warren G. Elliott to the 'Presidency of
the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad
Company, mention of which was made
in the Star of yesterday, the following
extract from a letter addressed by a
member of the Norfolk Bar to a friend
in this city will be read with interest:
You will see in the columns of the
Press that our friend Warren G. Elliott
has been elected President of the Wil
mington and Weldon Railroad Com
pany, and is to reside, with his charm
ing family, in your adopted city.
It was a brilliant conception on the
part of the Managers of the Road. He
is an exceptional man. Trained as a
lawyer, not in the details of transporta
tion service; yet it would be difficult to
find any one who has more completely
mastered railway strategy and corpora
tion law.
He hag a vigorous intellect, ready as
the readiest, and never daunted by what
seem to be big things to little men.
Withal, he is perfectly amiable, humor
ous, social; and even gregarious to an
extent that makes him a formidable foe
in representative and other assemblies
where influence is exerted by sheer force
of attraction and power. But you know
this already.
Mrs. Elliott, the daughter of Hon.
George Blow, for years our Circuit
Judge, will be a bright star in the Wil
minuton constellation; deliffhttul as a
friend, companionable as anybody; and.
musically regarded, the soprano of Vir
ginia sopranos.
We shall miss them from our circle
more than I can tell you of, but hardly
more than, from past experience, you al
ready know.
The next question is whom will Wil
mington send to Norfolk by way of
atonement, Ttot compensation?
However that may be, this promotion
of Warren Elliott means, in my judg
ment, eventually, more than the Presi
dency of a State road. Emerson has
well said : "The finest thing in a man
is what is unrevealed.
And Tennyson is on the record for
this:
"Men are but steppine-stones of their
dead selves,
To rise to higher things."
NAVAL TtORES.
Comparative Statement of Beceipts and
Stocks at this Fort.
Receipts of naval stores at this port for
the crop year from April 1st to Feb
ruary 7th as compared with receipts to
same date the previous season, are as
follows: Spirits turpentine, 62,765 casks;
last year 59,933, Rosin, 224,928 barrels;
last year, 220,351. Tar, 57,870 barrels;
last year, 49,010. Crude turpentine, 18,
371 barrels; last year, 19,860.
Stocks at this port at the close yester
day, as compared with stocks at the
same date last year, are: Spirits turpen
tine, 3,668 casks; last year, 1,996. Rosin,
30,671 barrels; last year, 89,705. Tar, 7,568
barrels; last year, 6,122. Crude turpen
1.871 barrels; last year, 382.
The Gulf Storm A Cold Wave.
Cautionary Northeast signals were
displayed by the Signal Service in this
city and other coast stations yesterday.
A storm was then central near the Gulf
coast moving Northeast. High winds
are reported from the Gulf and South
Atlantic sections. A general rain has
fallen in sections south of the Arkansas
and east of the Mississippi rivers. Light
snow has .fallen over the Lakes and in
the Northwest States. The greatest
rainfall was at Nashville; 2.02 inches fell
there during the day yesterday. Last
night the barometer was falling and the
temperature rising East and Northeast of
the storm's centre, which was near Pen
sacola, Florida.
In the West and Northwest, the pres
ure is rapidly increasing, and the tem
perature falling. This will probably
make a cold wave for this section, after
the passage of the present storm.
N6 Fruit P
This is the jolliest sort of weather for
the croakers. It is a little late in the
season, but there is yet time, if they im
prove the opportunity, to kill the straw
berry crop, the peach, apple and pear
crop, and every other crop that depends
upon a moist and warm earth with an
abundance of- sunshine to bring it to
maturity. Already, in their judgment,
all the crops we have named are
thoroughly ruined, and our fear is now
that they will destroy with their icono
clastic predictions, all our hopes regard
ing the prolific and toothsome huckle
berry, whichever way you may spell the
word.
Weather Forecasts.
The following are the forecasts for to
day: For Virginia, warmer weather, south
erly winds and rain.
For North Carolina and South Caro
lina, threatening weather and rain, '
slightly warmer and southeasterly winds.
For Georgia, threatening weather and
rain, warmer, except in the extreme
southern portion, cooler and southeast
erly winds. ' e
Personal.
We Sre informed by an officer of the
Atlantic Coast Line that Mr. Warren G.
Elliot, spoken of for President of the
Wilmington & Weldon Railroad Com
pany, was born and educated in North
Carolina, has had a large experience
as a railroad attorney, and is a young
man in the prime of life.

YESTERDAY'S FIRE.
Two Frame Dwellings .Burned The
surance, Etc.
In-
At about five o'clock yesterday morn
ing fire was discovered in the house of
Daniel Roberts, colored, on the corner
of Twelfth andJPrincess streets, and the
alarm was immediately given. The fire
men were promptly on hand, but such
was the distance from the burning build
ing to the nearest hydrant, that the
flames had got under complete headway
before hose could be connected and a
stream got to work. The building was
completely destroyed as was also a large
part of the furniture. There was no in
surance on the latter, but the house was
insured for $300 in the Fire and Marine
Insurance Company, of Richmond, Va.,
represented here by Messrs. Smith &
Boatwright.
The flames spread" to the dwelling, of
Henderson Davis, colored, on Princess
street, next west from Roberts' house, and
it was destroyed, though nearly all the
furniture was saved. There was insur
ance on the house to the amount of $150
in the Sun-Mutual Insurance Co., of
New Orleans, represented here by
Messrs. Hodges & Taylor. There was
no insurance on the furniture.
There was a Strong northeast wind
blowing at the time, and the flames ig-
nited two small houses on Market street,
but they were extinguished before, any
serious damage was done.
If ot a Good Harbor.
There is yet talk of the railroad to
Southport, and some have expressed the
ildl llldL 11 11X4X1 JJ1 JU-l. W l 1 L4X111&UUUL
it would injure the commerce of this
city; but don't you believe it. Southport
is undoubtedly the best point for a coal
ing station on the entire Atlantic coast,
but it has none of the requisites for a
eood and safe harbor. Aside from its
advantages as a coaling station, it has
many attractions for the pleasure and
health-seeker which will give it more
importance as the years roll on.

with a deadly weapon, was bound over
