Mr. Blair made another three hours'
speech in the Senate, yesterday, on his
Educational bill, and gave notice that
he would occupy two days more in pre
senting his views; the census bill rela
tive to the collection of information
as to farm mortgages was discussed; the
bill providing a territorial government
for Oklahoma was considered in the
House, and a good deal of other busi
ness done, but nothing of an important
character. Three incendiary fires
have recently occurred in the town of
Kcxrkv Mount, in this State, and the
people are greatly excited. Count
Atidrassy. the well-known Hungarian
statesman, died at Velesca. yesterday
aed sixtv-seven years. About
one hundred of the fourteen hundred
strikers of Nashua. N. H.. went to work
yesterday. Mrs. Levall. who was
shot bv her husband, in Charleston, has

her uncle, who was also snot, will pro
bably recover. The Senate has
ratified the British extradition treaty
Further strikes of miners
in Eng-
land and France are reported
The celebration of Mardi Gras in New
Orleans, yesterday, exceeded in bnl
liancy any former event of the kind; the
city is crowded with visitors from all
parts of the country. Three busi
ness houses in Iialtimore filed deeds of

creditors. All of the citizens ar
rested at Sharon. Ga.. charged with in
timidating postmaster Duckworth, have
been released on bail for trial in August.
A fifty thousand dollar fire occur

The Nc ton Fnterfrise, one of the

a bright outlook for iu future.
Mr. Ingalis had better look after
that race racket in the Grand Army
posts of the South. It is getting all
spl-.t up on the negro question and
his attention is earnestly solicited at
once, if not sooner.
New Hampshire is said to receive
amually from summer boarders
-i.M)o,04X), and Maine $6,000,000.
If it wasn't for these summer board
ers New Hampshire and Maine
would both be in the poor house.
In Rhode Island the Governor's
clerk a bigger man than the Gov
ernor. They pay the Governor a
salary of $l.0X) a year, and his clerk
$1,200. The clerk probably runs
the State, while the Governor puts on
the scallops and plays the dignity
p.irt.
Wyoming and Idaho, are both
asking for admission as State, and
as they promise to be nice Republi
can States, the Republicans are in
favor of admitting them. When it
comes to making Senators and Re
presentatives the Solons don't stand
much on ceremony nor on law either.
The esteemed Philadelphia In
quirer remarks that "there is a curi
ous similarity between the treatment
of obnoxious persons in Siberia and
our Southern States." Our contem
porary is clear off the track. In Si
beria they are put to hard work, in
the South they are appointed to
office and fed at the public crib.
What need is there for Federal
election laws for the South when a
Republican Committee can settle the
question as to who shall have a seat
in Congress? The committee plan
is the best that has yet been tried
to beat Democrats. They can dis
pense with the election machinery
altogether.
Some wild west kidnappers laid a
trap to catch ex-Senator Tabor, of
Colorado, and hold him for a $50,000
ransom, but it was exposed and they
slipped up. If they got Tabor and
one of his $550 frilled night shirts,
and there was any prospect of his
going back to the Senate again, this
country could afford to pay them
$100,000 to keep him.

VOL. XLV. NO. 136.
The following, from the Progres
sive Farmer, is reproduced without
the knowledge of our associate, Maj.
Duffy, who will read it for the first
time this morning. We have heard
him on the hustings, and we fully
endorse the compliment:
"Several of our exchanges have lately
discussed the question: 'Have we any
good orators among the newspaper men
of North Carolina?' Their conclusion
is that we have some very able speakers.
What about Mai. P. b . Duffy, the ac
complished editor of the Wilmington
Star? A distinguished citizen of this
State, speaking of this matter in our
orhce last week, said that, in his opinion,
Mai. Duffy is one of the most ornate
and elegant orators connected with the
State press. The Progressive Farmer
takes pleasure in endorsing every word
of the above, and will add that the re
mark applies not only to the press of
the btate, but to the whole list of the
public speakers of the State."
Western Congressmen are coming
to the conclusion that the clerks in
the Departments at Washington
have entirely too soft a snap, and it
is proposed to have the hours of
labor increased to eight hours a day.
They seem to be under the impres
sion that these clerks ought to earn
their money, a conviction which has
not generally prevailed in the Depart
ments under Republican administra
tions. 1 he Departments are cosy
places to stow away the friends, rela
tives, dependents and proteges of
party magnates. They are not expect
ed to do much work.
A bill has been introduced in the
Kentucky legislature providing for
the punishment of circus men who
fail to perform according to the bills.
Henceforth when the flaming colored
posters are posted up and the sov-
eign Kentuckian contemplates them
with ravishing delight he will know
just what he is going to get when he
pays his money or that circus man
will come to grief.
It was a Philadelphia woman, not
a Chicago woman, who sent a peti
tion to the Emperor of China asking
him to put a stop to the foot-binding
of females in the Celestial empire.
Jf the Emperor had ever seen a Chi
cago foot he never would have paid
any attention to such a petition, for
the possibility of Chinese women's
feet erowiner to the Chicago size
would have scared him.
Mr. Blaine is in favor of taking off
the tariff tax bn raw sugars, which
yields the government $50,000,000 of
revenue, to encourage commerce
with the Central and South American
countries, but proposes to let it re
main on refined sugars for the benefit
of refiners, who will still have a mo
nopoly of the sugar business.
There are in the State of Illinois
over 1,000,000 acres of land owned
by aliens. Under a recent law of
that State they must become citizens
by the 1st of July, when the law
goes into effect, to retain possession
of it. As there is some doubt about
the constitutionality of such a law it
will make work for the lawyers.
North Dakota is proving her claim
to be classed as a good Republican
State. Her legislators are about to
be investigated on charges of bribery
in that lottery business.
One of the Prettiest,
Lenoir Topic.
One of the prettiest papers in the
State is the Wilmington Star, which
has lately invested in a fine, new outfit
of type. It loses nothing of its bright
ness and interest, but is one ot the most
thorough papers in the State.

C, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1890.
DR. WM. GEO. THOMAS,
Death of One of "Wilmington's Most
Prominent Physicians The End of a
Long Life of Usefulness and Honor.
Seldom have we witnessed as much
feeling displayed by our people, and of
all conditions in life, as was exhibited in
this city yesterday afternoon when the
startling-announcement was made that
Dr. William George Thomas was dead.
Not that it was altogether unexpected,
for his critical condition was known, but
it was hoped that his vigorous constitu
tion and the care and attention of skill
ful physicians and friends would enable
him to triumph over the disease. But it
was not so to be, and the strong man,
who but a week ago was seen upon our
streets in the vigor of health, and greet
ing friends and acquaintances with his
kindly smile, has passed from us forever.
Well may we exclaim: "What shadows
we are and what shadows we pursue."
Dr. Thomas was born in Louisbiirg,
N. C, about the year 1818, and was
seventy-two years old. After receiving
his diploma he removed to Tarboro,
where he married, but In 1851 he made
Wilmington his home and has resided
here since that time. He almost immedi
ately sprang into a large and lucrative
practice here, which he retained during
his long and active life. He was a success
ful practitioner, a man of science and of
progress, not wedded to old theories,
but always ready to take advantage of
improvements in the practice of his pro
fession which his knowledge and expe
rience approved. He was a true man, a
manly man; one who had the courage of
his convictions; and he practiced no j
concealments of any kind. He was in
the fullest sense of the word a family
physician, for his genial manners, his
amiability and bonhomie, endeared him
to every member of the household, and
they gave him their entire confidence
and affection.
During the yellow fever epidemic of
1862 he remained at his post and was
untiring in his enorts to relieve tnose
afflicted with that terrible disease until
stricken down himself, when he was
compelled to leave Wilmington; but so
soon as ,his health was restored,
hp was atrain at his post of
duty. He was kind hearted, sym
pathetic, feeline the sorrow of his
friends as though they were his own, and
c?
always ready to assist those who were
needy and suffering. He was a commu
nicant of St. James' Church, and at the
time of his death was an active member
of the vestry and had been for years.
The death of such a man is a loss to
the community and creates a vacuum
which it will be difficult to fill. He will
be greatly missed, and although he had
passed the allotted period of man's ex
istence on earth, yet his splendid physi
que encouraged the hope that he had
a great many years of usefulness before
him, for his eye was not dim, nor his
natural force abated. But God knows
what is best, and our duty is simply
obedience to his will.
A VETERAN HUNTER.
John G. Wagner, the Noted "Deerslayer"
of Masonboro Nine Deer in one Day,
Mr. John G. Wagner, of Masonboro,
was in the city yesterday. He brought
in three deer skins which he had tanned
for Mr. Samuel Bear, Sr., and his skill in
this work was highly complimented.
But 'Squire Wagner is skilled in another
way. tie is a ventanie "Leersiayer,
and many an "antlered monarch" and
timid doe "with soft black eye" have
fallen before his deadly gun. He and
the late Richard Beasley once killed
nine deer in a day's hunt; but this
was many years ago, ana tne
veteran hunter sighs when he
tells you that "hunting now isn't what it
used to be." But it has not been un
common for our "Deerslayer" to kill two
deer in one "drive" during the past few
years, and all within a few miles of his
present home on Masonboro Sound.
Old "Rover," his favorite dog, is dead;
but he has two of his offspring "with
ears that sweep away the morning dew,"
and whose "tongues are matched like
bells each under each." The field edi
tor of the Star will not fail to accept
'Squire Wagner's invitation to join him
in "tne cnase wnen tne aeer season
again opens,
n. c. stat'e'guard.
Denial of the Eumor That the Place of En
campment Would be Changed.
Ex-Lieut. Gov. Stedman, who has just
returned from Raleigh, tells us that he
had an interview with his Excellency,
Gov. Fowle, with regard to the military
Encampment this summer. Gov. FoWle
stated that he had received a letter from
a gentleman in Wilmington in which it
was stated that there was a rumor that
the place of encampment would be
changed. The Governor said that he
was at a loss to understand how such
unfounded reports could get abroad; that
no one had made any suggestion to him
as to a change, and under the circum
stances, he should not entertain such a
suggestion if made. So this is the end
of this idle rumor.
Gov. Fowle said that he expected, of
course, that the balance of the money
which had been promised by the citizens
of Wilmington for the Encampment
would be furnished. The money is
needed to put the grounds in proper
order.
Gov. Fowle has certainly shown the
kindest feeling to our people in all mat
ters relating to the Encampment.
A Bold Thief.
Last Sunday, between 5 and 6 o'clock,
a sneak thief entered the room of Mr.
C. J. Terrell, train dispatcher of the Car
olina Central, in the building of the
company on North Front street, and
walked off with all of Mr. Terrell's
clothes thathe could lay his hands on.
The thief was seen by a colored woman
on the premises as he entered the build
ing, but as he was a decently appearing
white man, she suspected nothing.
He dressed himself in Mr. Ter-
rell.s best suit, and walked out with
a bundle under his arm containing the
rest of the effects in the room which
took his fancy. The police were noti
fied of the robbery, and found some of
the stolen articles in the possession of
parties to whom he had sold them for
trifling sums; but the robber has not yet
been caught.
Mayor's Court,
In this Court yesterday morning, the
parties arrested for creating a disturb
ance Sunday night at the Front Street
Mission Church were arraigned. It
appeared from the evidence that a
young white man named Piner was
assaulted by some colored youths who
struck Piner on the head with a brick
bat, and his companions carried him into
the basement of the church. George
Bounds, Wm. Bounds and Ed. Broad-.
hurst, colored boys engaged in the
affray, were each fined $10 and costs,
and in default were locked up.
Samuel Minor, colored, disorderly,
was fined $5 and costs.
Alfred Luitweiler, charged with sell
ing liquor on Sunday. Case continued
until this morning.
