Second Class Mail Matter.
OUTLINES.
In the Senate yesterday the Finance
Committee reported back adversely Mr.
Voorhees' resolution relative to the
lease of the Alaska fur seal fisheries, on
the ground that the lease had already
been made, and that the Committee had
no right to interfere in the matter; al
most the entire session of the House
was occupied in-the consideration of the
Arkansas contested election case, with
out any result being reached. Mu
nicipal elections were held in Iowa on
Monday, when the Democrats were
successful in a large number of the
towns and cities. William H. Pope,
teller of the Louisville City Bank, has
gone to Canada with between $40,000
and $60,000 of the funds, he was a trust
ed employe, a man of seeming good
habits, and mixed with the best social
circles. The Virginia Legislature
has appointed a commission, with the
Governor at its head, to meet the com
mittee of foreign bondholders and confer
over a settlement of the State debt.
John Wren, the well known detective,
died in Richmond yesterday of pneumo
nia. Leroy Jones, a citizen of Han
over countv. Va.. met with a horrible
death Sunday; he was thrown from a
wrigon in which he was riding, when his
hear! became wedged in the spokes of
the revolving wheel, crushing his skull
frightfully. The Paris newspapers
are unanimous in expressing the opin
ion that a Ministerial crisis is not far off,
and was only deferred by the Chambers'
vot of confidence on Monday. A
number of invitations having been for
warded to the Secretary of State, that
the delegates to the International Ame
rican Conference shonld visit the South
ern States, a formal invitation has been
extended them by Mr. Blaine to make
the visit immediately upon the final ad
journment of the Commissien; the ex
cursion will be similar to that given in
October and November. T. W.
I'ooi. a prominent citizen of Martin
rounty. in this State, died suddenly of
heart :ailure at the Yarborough House.
Kaieij;:!. yesterday. Ex-Congressman
Taulbee. who was shot in Washing
ton o;i Friday last, is now dangerously
and his physicians are fearful that a
fatal result would follow the removal of
the bullet. Reports from Florida
indicate that the cold weather of Sunday
and Monday did considerable damage;
i many cases truck gardens were en
tirely destroyed; very little damage was
Jone to the orange trees or blossoms,
and on the whole the situation is not dis
couraging; thin ice formed at Tampa,
and there was a slight fall of snow at
Fcrruuidina.
The floods in the
Western rivers have assumed grand pro
portions; at Cairo the Ohio river is over
lifty miles wide, and a mile below, where
it joins the Mississippi, which in turn
extends into the Missouri, there is an
other fifty miles, making the combined
width of the two rivers over one hun
dred miles; great fears are entertained
that Paducah. Ky.. will be flooded.
Burglars made an unsuccessful attempt
to rob a bank at Ridge wry. Pa., last
Saturday night. The Iowa Legis
lature balloted yesterday for U. S. Sen
ator, when Mr. Allison was re-elected by
a majority over all competitors.
Fire broke out in a mine at Wilkcsbarre,
Pa.. Monday night, which cut off the
escape of eight men. and it is feared
they have been burned to death. A
large building in lower Broadway. New
York. was bucned last night; loss $300,000.
New York markets: Money easy at
2 to 5 per cent.; cotton steady: mid
dling uplands 11 5-16 cents; middling
Orleans 11 9-16 cents; southern flour
firmer; wheat dull; No. 2 red S7Ji875
cents at elevator; corn steadier and fairly
active; No. 2. 33s3o;8 cents at eleva

42g43l4 cents.
Speaker Reed need not be afraid
they would kill him if he went down
into Kentucky. He is not the
kind of compost they put upon their
blue grass fields.
The Pittsburg Times thinks West
ern North Carolina will become the
great steel centre of this continent.
The indications are that Washington
will shortly become a great steal cen
tre also.
Fudging from the lamentations of
the Hendersonville Times, that por
tion of the Republican party out in
the western part of the State is trou
bled with "excrescences." What it
needs is a good square bath with a
liberal dash of carbolic acid.
Senator Spooner, Republican, of
Wisconsin, gave in his speech on
Monday as one of his reasons for op
posing the Blair Educational Bill,
that the Southern people and the
Southern press didn't want it. Cor
rect. Now let Mr. Spooner be con
sistent and oppose the proposed
election bill for the South which the
Southern people and the Southern
press don't want, either.
Some of the Republican organs i
out West are consoling themselves j
with the reflection that it was not so
much the increase in the Democratic
vote of Iowa as the decrease in the
Republican vote that enabled the
Democrats to carry the State. The
falling off in the Republican vote as
compared with the year before was
38,000. If these 38.000 had not a
sufficient amount of grace to re
nounce all their wicked ways and as
sociations and seek full fellowship in
the Democratic faith they did the
next best thing they could do by
leaving bad company and staying at
home. This shows that they may be
reformed and yet become thoroughly
converted to the immortal truths of
Democracy and be saved.
Col. Shepard,. of the New York
Mail and Express, that pious, good
man, who prints a verse from Scrip
tures every day at the head of the
leading editorial column and devotes
a large portion of the balance of the
paper to slandering the South, speak
ing about the action of Congress in
locating the World's Fair at Chicago
exclaims:
"The country looks with amazement
at the proceedings in the House of Rep
resentatives yesterday."
Why, bless his soul, the "country
looks with amazement" at the pro
ceedings of the House every day
since Tom Reed and his gang of con
spirators took possession of it.
It seems that there was a skeleton
in the Astor closet, and with all their
millions they were not happy. Mrs.
William Astor sailed for Europe
about two hours after the death of
John Jacob Astor, and did not know
of his death although she lived less
than a block distant. The families
were not on friendly terms and hence
his death was not annonnced to her.
Mr. Labouchere has been suspend
ed from Parliament for questioning
the veracity of Premier Salisbury.
As Tom Reed seems to pride him
self on ruling according to English
parliamentary precedents, we trust
he will not go in for suspending ev
ery Democrat who questions his
methods or veracity.
The Supreme Court is one of
those antiquated bodies of gentle
men who still adhere to the opinion
that there is such a thing as State
sovereignty. Bill Chandler, Tom
Reed & Co. ought to go over and
ask the Supreme Court what it
means by uttering such Democratic
doctrine as this.
Col. John A. Cockerill, managing
editor of the New York World, works
sixteen hours a day, but he gets a
salary of $13,000 a year. There are
few of the North Carolina editors
who work more than sixteen hours a
day as a regular thing, but there are
few of them who get such a salary.
The exports and imports for the
city of Savannah for the year 1889
aggregated $117,955,139, which, the
Xnvs says, is the largest business
ever done in the history of the city,
and is an increase of $35,000,000 in
ten years.
T. W. Pool, a prominent citizen of
Williamston, Martin county, died sud
denly at the Yarborough House..
Raleigh. N. C, yesterday. He was
State Senator from Martin county in
1S83 and 1885, and was recently engaged
by the Board of Education as agent, to
sell lands belonging to the School
Fund. Heart failure was the cause of
his sudden death.

AMONG THE TRUCKERS.
The Damage Caused by the Recent Cold
Snap.
A reporter for the Star interviewed
a number of truck farmers who were in
the city yesterday in regard to the dam
age caused to fruits and early vegeta
bles by the freezing weather Sunday
ftight and the frost yesterday morning.
From all accounts the farmers around
Wilmington will be subjected to con
siderable loss bv reason of the injury to
their crops.
Capt. T. J. Southerland, whose farm
is about three miles from the city, on
the old Newbem road, says that his
green peas, the old crop of radishes and
strawberries were killed, and that grow
ing Irish' potatoes were all cut down.
His cabbages, however, were not hurt.
Mr. Sinclair, a truck farmer whose
place is about three miles from Wilming
ton, near the Turnpike, says that his
crop of green peas was damaged, but
that he suffered in no other way, as
nothing else had yet been planted.
Mr. Montgomery,- on Masonboro
Sound, lost peas and radishes, but his
potatoes were not up, and are conse
quently not hurt.
Mr. W. S. Warrock, who farms on
Masonboro, reports green peas and pears
killed, and strawberries injured very
much. Peaches, he does not think are
hurt.
Mr. B. S. Montford, of Masonboro,
says all his crops of peas and radishes
were killed, but peaches are uninjured.
Capt. E. W. Manning says that the
pears and green peas on his truck farm
at Wrightsville have been killed, and
that his asparagus suffered to a certain
extent.
Mr. Sol. Jones, who has a farm on the
Newbem road, a few miles from the
city, lost Irish potatoes, and his toma
toes were also hurt.
Messrs. Westbrook & Bro. report that
at their farm, near Bradley's Creek, the
crop of strawberries was badly damaged,
if not totally destroyed.
The truckers around Rocky Point
suffered greatly by the cold snap, and
their loss was considerable as can be
seen from the following extract from a
letter written to Mr. G. Z. French, by
his brother: "Everything was frozen Sun
day night. The mercury ivas 22 at Rocky
Point depot, and I fear that all the berries
and blooms were killed notwithstanding
they were covered with pine straw. Our
peas and radishes look as if they had
been boiled, and I am afraid all the rad
ishes are killed. Some of the peas will
come out again and will bear, I think,
but everything looks very bad."

A Pleasant Entertainment.
Capt. W. H. Bixby's illustrated lec

given for the benefit of the Library
Association, was-a very gratifying suc
cess. The audienee was quite large for
the season, probably 450 or 500 people
being present. The views were admira
ble, and together with the graphic de
scription of them given by the lecturer
were very much enjoyed.
Capt. Bixby announced that on ac
count of the evident pleasure which the
lecture afforded and the favor with
which it was received, probably five
other illustrated lectures would be given
during the season; the next on Tuesday
evening, the 11th inst. He expressed
his thanks for courtesies received from
