VOL. XLVI.---NO. 88.
Senator Blackburn who was nrpc.
ent in the Senate Committee when
Mr. Blame expressed his opinion of
the McKinley bill says that he de
nounced it so vigorously that he
made several dents in his silk beaver
which stood in his way while he was
emphatically gesticulating. The op
position that would thus crush a. nice
silk beaver must be in earnest.
Beavers are not sacrificed that way as
a mere matter of idle formality.
Representative O'Donnell, Re
publican, of Michigan, Chairman of
the House Committee on Education,
has reported a bill to aid education,
something similar to the Blair bill.
This is to hedge on the defeat of the
Blair bill, and gull Republicans who
are kicking at the defeat of that
measure, with the offer of a substi
tute. As a political trick to be worked
on the stump, this is entirely too
thin.
Mr. Chauncey M. Depew is bril
liant as a post prandial orator, but
the nasal twang of his voice troubled
him. To remedy this he has had a
piece of the bone of his nose sawed
out, ami the nasal twang troubles
him no more. If he had some more
of that bone sawed out he might fill
the role not only of a full toned after
dinner orator but a daisy bass singer.
During the Presidential campaign
Mr. Harrison declared that if elected
he would be y the President of the
whole country. After he was elected
he discovered that he lacked the
mental gauge to be President of the
whole country, and concluded
that he wouldn't try to be President
of more than about three-fourths
Of it.
Associate U. S. Justice Lamar de
hies that he ever made the assertion
attributed to him, that Mississippi
was becoming a negro State. Not
withstanding the denial the fact re
mains that it stands a very good
chance of becoming such if this
constant influx of negroes from
other States continues.

The accident happened about 10
o'clock yesterday morning. Mr. Melton
was seated on the cap of the wharf near
the foot of Dock street, and it is sup

THE CENSUS.
Wo One Believes it Correct A Call for
Another Count.
In the unofficial report of the census
of Wilmington, published in the Star
yesterday, as obtained from Supervisor
Lockey, the figures were a little mud
dled. His estimate was that the census
would show the population to be in the
neighborhood of 20,000 between 19,950
and 20,050.
Many persons think that the popula
tion has not been fully enumerated and
there is some talk of having the census
again taken.
The importance of a full enumeration
cannot easily be overstated. The census
is taken as an index of the city's pros
perity and ratio of progress. It aids in
fixing the values of property. It is con
sulted by those who are seeking invest
ments or new homes. It is relied upon
in fixing political representation.
Health and . mortality statistics are
based upon it. Through its means the
school population is arrived at. Taxa
tion is greatly influenced by it. Com
parative cost of government is deter
mined by it. The proportion of races is
determined by it. And being a matter
of such importance why should not the
city government take the matter in
hand and give us a correct enumeration;
if for no other reason, to satisfy the
people.
Wilmington is not alone in this matter
of complaint that a correct enumeration
has not been had. Norfolk, Savannah,
Charleston and other ' cities also com
plain. Take Macon, Ga., for instance.
There it was generally estimated the
population was 20,000; the census, how
ever, gives ft as 17,000, while ex
perienced men who were making
a directory of the -city and
who followed right after the census
enumerators, find the population to be
in round numbers, 22,000.
By all means let's have a recount.
The cost will be trifling in comparison
with the good likely to result.
Signal Office Moved.
The Signal Service has moved into
the rooms assigned to their use in the
public building. They are the first in
the new building and they have very
comfortable quarters, although the ap
proaches to the office are somewhat
barred by scaffolding on the stairway.
These, however, will soon be removed, as
the building is nearing completion. The
object in hurrying into the new office
was to begin the official recoid there on
July 1st, and Mr. Chaffee, the observer
in charge, informs us it was a very tick
lish business moving the instruments,
etc.. and preventing any break in the re
cord in the meantime.
Several new instruments have been
added to the apparatus, among which
are a very complete device for register
ing, by electrical attachment, the direc
tion from which eS$h mile of wind is
blown, and also a similar instrument to
record the rainfall.
With the above instruments and others
heretolore at work, a continuous record
will now be kept of the pressure, temper
ature, wind velocity and direction, and
rainfall. This will be of incalculable value
to those intefested, and will greatly aid
in establishing the climatological condi
tions of this place. Regarding the ques
tion of high temperatures reported at
this place, the observer in charge in
forms us, that the temperatures given
are correct in every particular, and fur
thermore that they have been verified
by a series of thermometer readings
taken by Dr. F. S. Clark, Chemist at the
Cresote Works, where readings tally
each day with those reported by the
Signal Office. -
FIRE ALARM SERVICE.
Bids Beceived by the City from Three
Companies.
A meeting of the Fire Committee of
the Board of Aldermen was held yester
day forenoon in the Mayor's office to re
ceive bids for furnishing the city with a
fire-alarm service. Bids from three
firms were submitted, as follows:
Gamewell Co. (system now in use)
at$5,750 for plant with one circuit, and
6,500 for system of three circuits.
The Gaynor Company's bid is $5,600
for a plant of one circuit, and $6,100 for
a plant with three circuits; including
poles for wires.
The Richmond Inter-StateCo.'s propo
sition is to furnish a plant with one' cir
cuit for $4,975; plant of two circuits,
$5,975.
The bids were not acted upon; further
consideration being deferred until Mon
day next.

AGAIN THE HIGHWAYMAN.
"Your Money or Your Life" Two Ons
low County Men Have an Encounter
with the Bobber.
Another encounter with the colored
desperado whose bold attack on people
on the highway in broad daylight has
created something of a sensation, was
reported to Mayor Fowler yesterday.
Mr. M. M. Capps, son of Mr. C. A.
Capps, of Onslow, says that on the 29th
of June last, while on his way home
from Wilmington in company with Mr.
Cato Bryan, of the same county, they
were stopped between the twenty-first
and twentysecond mile-posts by a negro
man with a bludgeon, who boldly made
the demand, "Your money or your life."
Mr. Bryan being armed, drew his pistol
and attempted to shoot the fellow, but
the weapon missed fire. They ran to their
horses which were a short distance from
them and made their escape, the high
wayman firing twice at them with a pis
tol. Again, on the 1st inst., Mr. Capps
said, while in company with Mr. Henry
Jarman, on the way to this city, they saw
the same negro, about six miles from
town, but upon their approach the man
left the road and went into the woods.
It is reported also, that recently the
store of Mr. Cornegy, at the eight-mile
post on the old Newbern road, was
broken open and robbed and it is sup
posed by the same robber.
Mayor Fowler, who is also a magistrate
of the county, has determined to take
the matter in hand, and will make an
effort to rid the community of the
desperadoes prowling .on the roads
leading to the city.
excursionists from "Winston.
Two hundred and fifty excursionsts
from Winston arrived here yesterday
evening by train on the C. F. & Y. V.
railroad. They will go down the river
to-day on the Sylvan Grove, - and will
spend to-morrow at the Hammocks and
Ocean View. The visitors no doubt
will enjoy their visit to the city and our
seaside resorts. They will return home
next Saturday.
