In the Senate yesterday Mr. -Pasco
made a statement explanatory ot the
facts and circumstances connected with
the assassination of a deputy U, S. mar
shal in Florida; Mr. Blair then resumed
his argument in favor of his Educational
bill, and afforded much amusement to
his brother Senators; in the House a bill
was favorably reported authorizing the
appointment of an Assistant Secretary
of War; the rest of the day" was occu
pied in the discussion of the Oklahoma
bill. The New York Assembly has
adopted the World's Fafr conference re
port with only one dissenting vote.
The labor situation at Woburn. Mass..
has become very serious; neither side
will yield, and another mill has closed,
throwing fifteen hundred men out of
work. Mr. Joseph Gillis Biggar, a
well known Home Ruler, and member
of the English House of Commons, died
"suddenly yesterday from heart disease.
In the Dempsey-McCarthy prize
fight in California. McCarthy was
knocked out in the twenty-eighth
round. The agent of a Northern
Company in Louisiana has absconded,
and an investigation of his affairs shows
a deficit of $40,000. A negro crimi
nally assaulted a farmer's wife, near
HciskcII's station. Tennessee, which has
greatly excited the people, and it is
thought he will be lynched, although
effort is being made to protect him.
A colliery explosion in France caused
great loss of life; thirty-six bodies
have already been recovered. Four
stores were destroyed by fire in New
Orleans yesterday, causing a loss of

to l:ttsburg to attend the opening of
tho free library at Allegheny City to-

The New York Epoch says it will
cost the men who wants to succeed
M. F.varts in the United States
Senate from $100,000 to $200,000.
From this it would seem that Repub

A discovery has just been made
tli.it .; prisoner in the penitentiary at
Cohimbus Ohio, has been per
sonating a wealthy whiskey dealer,
whose sentence he was serving for
big pay. Going to the penitentiary
by proxy is a brand new Ohio idea.
Bob Ingersoll says Harrison's ad
ministration reminds him of a couple
who got married and quarrelled as to
whether they should have terrapin or
duck tor their first dinner. The hus
band wanted terrapin, the wife want
ed duck, and they finally compro
mised on cabbage.
A Boston paper wants to know
"what it is that we pay $4 a bottle
for and call it champagne" when the
wine districts of France do not yield
enough to supply London. Well if
he is fool enough to pay four dollars
a bottle for Jersey cider and Califor
nia grape juice with French labels on
he can do it. We don't.
The proprietor of Haddon Hall,
one of the principal hotels In Atlan
tic City, N. J., had a wife who had a
weakness for stock speculation, but
he didn't find it out till he discovered
that she had forged notes on him to
the amount of about $75,000 and
broke him up. He hopes by tight
squeezing to raise enough to keep
her out of the penitentiary.
Foraker says he shall always be
lieve there was something in those
ballot box papers, and he will never
rest easy till he digs to the bottom
of it. To one at this distance it
would seem that there was enough
in them to strike Foraker with
cyclonic swipe and lay him out, as
flat as a flounder. It is entirely un
necessary for him to go on with the
digging-
A State Convention of the Farm
ers Alliance and Knights of Labor is
now in session at Marshalltown,
Iowa, the object of which is said to
be to defeat the re-election of Alli
son to the Senate. There is too
much high protection in him to suit
them. In the meantime the Legisla
ture is in a dead-lock and Allison is
-on the ragged edge of long protract
ed suspense.
The Philadelphia Ledger suggests
a way by which Russia might be
taught to treat Siberian prisoners
with humanity, that other civilized
nations boycott her. It must be an
extreme case when so conservative a
journal as the Ledger will rush in ad
vocating a Russian boycott all along
the line. With spectres of nihilistic
bombs, suspected cooks, thieving
butlers, short-weight bakers, and a
boycott like this, the poor Czar had
better be somebody's yellow dog.
This is the sixth week of the dead
lock in the Iowa. Legislature. The
Republican Governor stays in, the
Democratic Governor stays out, and
Allison is sitting astraddle of the
barbed wire fence, cogitating over
his slim chances of getting back into
the U. S. Senate again. He would
give his boots if he could break that
dead-lock before the Farmers' Alli
ance and Knights of Labor scare the
Republican solons that he has cor
alled and create a stampede.
If it be true that an English
scientist has discovered a process,
which it is said he has, of making a
metal which so nearly resembles
gold in color and weight that it is
difficult to distinguish between it
and the genuine gold, and can make
it at a comparatively small cost, he
has opened up a fine field, if he
gives his secret out, to the enter
prising counterfeiter.

experienced manager as well as a most
reliable one. He brings here next week
Adele Frost, a young actress, a beautiful

ROCKY MOUNT.
No Clue to the Incendiaries The Town
Guarded by Military,
A gentleman who came from Rocky
Mount yesterday, says the citizens of
that town are much excited at the re
peated incendiary fires there as report
ed in a Star special. There is not the
slightest clue, he says, to the perpetra
tors of these outrages, and no arrests
have been made. It Is surmised by
some, however, that the repeated at
tempts to burn the town are the out
come of difficulties that took place a
short time since between citizens and
labor agents who were enticing colored
people to leave that section.
The Rocky Mount Rifles guarded the
town Tuesday night, and yesterday the
citizens organized to act in co-operation
with the military if necessary.

the larceny of a watch from a colored
man named George Simpson, was re
manded for further examination. Later
in the day a colored man employed on a
dredge boat called at the City Hall with
Simpson's watch, which he said he had
bought from a colored boy named Cout
ler. A warrant for the arrest of the lat
ter had already been issued but the po
pce were unable to find him.

PICKLING AND CANNING.
More Facts and Figures in Regard to an
Industry that Would Benefit the
Southern Farmer and Trucker.
Baltimore, Md., February 15.
Editor Morning Star, Wilmington,
N. C:
Dear Sir: I wrote an article last
week on the pickling business which
was copied largely throughout the
South. I must confess that at the time
I had noidea that so many would be
interested in what I said, and my mail
has brought forth many letters of in
quiry in reference to the business. For
the benefit of your readers, especially
those interested, I will enter more fully
into details as regards to the canning
and pickling business.
I have travelled South, and it was
surprising that one sees vast quantities
of canned goods sold in the South and
with hut few exceptions they are put up
by Northern packing houses. This has
been the case heretofore; but now, with
the go-ahead spirk that the new South
has it demands a change, and in a few
years hence one will see this industry
thriving everywhere in the Southern
States, and the Northern packer will
have to seek other markets. Your
farmers, more especially your truckers,
have been satisfied with large profits
realized on their early shipments, and
when the Virginia and Maryland pro
ducts came in it did not pay your
trucker to make further shipments.
Consequently thousands of acres of
prime stock for canning purposes has
been allowed to waste for want of some
means of utilizing it. The same can be
said of your fruit; small quantities are
shippea and sold in a home market, but
the bulk of the crop remains unpicked
and is left to rot fpr want of canning fa
cilities These vegetables and fruits
that you have allowed to waste could be
put up In your market and handsome
profits realized from their sale, but in
stead, the South depends on the North
to supply her with the very article she
has thrown away.
In Maryland and elsewhere farmers do
not enjoy the advantages realized by the
Southern trucker. The Southern farmer
has been well paid his profits have
been" large for the produce he has
shipped to early markets. Conse
quently when the product in Maryland
comes in , the prices are down, arid we
are compelled to sell in competition
with the Southern product. The Southern
farmer therefore, can realize on his early
shipments and after it does not pay to
ship the surplus can be utilized for can
ning purposes. In Maryland we have
thousands of farmers who plant their
crops for this purpose alone. They
can their own crop or one will
perhaps buy up his neighbors'
and at the close of the season they have
a thousand or two dollars to add to the
profits of their farm account.
Because the Southern trucker has
already realized a profit, ia no reason
why he should abandon his surplus. It
would give employment to numbers of
persons during the - canning season.
Here, in Maryland, thousands depend
on the canning industry putting up
Fruits. Vegetables, Oysters, Fish, etc.,
which could be done at a greater profit
in your section. Labor is cheap and
plentiful; you enjoy advantages of a
good market; your oysters beds are un
touched; abundance of vegetable, fruits,
etc.
As regards operating a canning fac
tory, the Southern farmer has been
under the impression that it required
large capital combined with long busi
ness experience, but they are now begin
ning to realize that they can operate
their own canning and pickling factory
in addition to their other duties. A
farm hand can learn the process in one
day, as no previous knowledge is neces
sary, I have had numerous enquiries
from persons who wished to start a pick
ling factory; some in a large way, others
in a small way, For $25 one can start a
pickling business that would keep several
persons busy during the pickling season.
It would pay to combine the canning
business with that of pickling, as the
same outfit will can fruit, vegetables,
oysters and fish, besides answer for the
pickling business. An outfit that will
can 2,000 three-pound cans per day will
cost complete, only $150; 5,000 three
pound cans per day will cost complete,
$225. The price of cans, three-pound,
is $2.40, and two-pound. $1.80 per hun
dred. For pickles, the bottle can be
had very cheap. They can also be put
up in barrels and kegs in bulk; but put
up in bottles, nicely labelled, they meet
with ready sale at paying prices. Can
ning outfits can be put up by the most
unexperienced persons, and used with or
without steam power. If a person al
ready has steam power, he can utilize it,
if not, the kettles can be set in brick, the
same as sugar boilers.
The pickle business can be conducted
on a small scale by the lady folks -from
whom I have received quite a number of
letters it would give them something
to do, and they could earn something
for themselves,
The canning and pickling business is
a clean and profitable one; nothing disa-'
greeable about it. As so little money is
required to make a start, and the profit
connected with it is large, it is surprising
that so little attention is paid to the
business.
I will take great pleasure in giving all
information I can to your readers, but
would recommend them to write to
Messrs. A. K. Robins & Co., No. 724
East Pratt street, Baltimore, Md., who
will supply them with any desired infor
mation in reference to canning ma
chinery, packing, etc., with directions as
to putting up. -They are the largest
shippers of canning outfits to the trade,
and are well-known in Maryland.

Tickets for Judge Farrar's lecture in
the Opera House Friday night may be
had to-day and to-morrow at Yates"
bookstore, as well as at the Y. M. C. A.
rooms. Those desiring reserved seats
will have to go to the trouble of having
the appropriate number put on their
tickets. This will not cost anything.
All who have heard or know of the
lecturer speak in very high terms of him.
Wilmington people who do not avail
themselves of this opportunity to hear a
good lecture will regret it.
