Monday was the h-itest day oi the season in Chicago, aid was hotter than any day since July K. 1S.SS; the thermometer range at 4 'clock was 93 2-100. The city marshal of Columbus, Texas, instantly killed three young men on Monday; the fight occurred in a saloon, and thirty -hots were fired. Turkey has sent a new note to England, demanding a fixed date when Egypt will be evacuated ;y British troops, without the right of anain occupying: the country. The immense plant of the National Tube Works, at McKeesport, Pa., has shut down, throwing four thousand men out of employment. The locked-out cloak-makers of New York, seven thou sand strong, paraded the streets yester day; everything passed off quietly.

It is needless to say it is Republican in p.ilities. The cholera is spreading in Spain. There is no occasion for alarm in this, but still it would be wise to keep a close eye on foreign shipping :u)l back yards clean. The silver men whipped the anti- -"ilver men into that extra 500,000 ouiiccs of silver bullion by refusing uiiake up the tariff bill until the anti-silverists came to time, and ?h-"Y came. Cuba levies an import duty of s:.i;.y a barrel on American flour, and there are other charges amount ing to about a dollar a barrel. The Cubans have been taking some tariff lessons from our tariff builders. Spanish flour is admitted free of Tut v. The Republican leaders in Wash: ini;ton are treasuring the hope that the Alliance in Georgia and South Carolina will break up the Demo cratic party in those States. The Republican ieaders in this State were expecting a little diversion on the came line here, but they were some what too previous. I'om Reed and Conger must have ;rot their heads together when the iattcr wrote to Mr. Bland that there wuUi be no meeting of the silver conference committee Saturday and riht on the heels of this notice had a meeting. This looks so much like one of Reed's tricks that he is en titled to all the credit there is in it. Mr. Payson; Rep., of Illinois, is throwing another tub to the whale m his bill introduced in the House on Monday to forfeit certain unearned railroad land grants, amounting in -ill to about 75,000,000 acres." Dur- xnK Mr. Cleveland's administration ;'(,,i(0,000 acres of these lands were recovered, but the Democrats had to liht the Republican railroad attor neys and lobbyists pretty hard to VOL. XLVI.--NO; 92. ' S An English University has made Henry Stanley a Doctor of some thing, and now Col. Shepard of the rMew Y ork Mail and Express wants to make him a Colonel-in the U. S. army on full pay. " This shows the enthusiastic regard in which the New York, Colonel, holds the jungle penetrator. This admiration reaches a very elevated point when it can overlook the fact that Henry showed his impartiality by serving in both ederal and Confederate armies. Miss Eliza Pinkston recently died at Atlanta, Georgia. The remark able feature about Miss Pinkston was that she was endowed with a "beautiful beard eighteen inches long." The mention of this beard will not awaken any reminiscences in the eventful career of Hon. John Sherman, but the similarity of name with that of the historic colored Eliza of '76 may recall a memorable event in his past history. Judging from the lack of enthusi asm evinced by the Senators Mon day when Mr. Morrill tried to bring up the Tariff bill and the way they sat down on it, they are evidently not yearning to tackle it just now. The fact that Senators Plumb, Stewart, Teller and Mitchell voted against taking it up indicates that they propose to see the Silver bill first disposed of before that is taken up. What a splendid opportunity the primary elections on the lottery question in Louisiana will give to the lottery company to distribute their tickets in consideration for votes. Our impression is that for the drawings that immediately follow these elections the percentage of tickets held by Louisiana sovereigns will be unusually large, whether the prizes are or not. It is said in Washington that some of the Republican Senators who are anxious to pass a tariff bill, offer to pigeon hole the force bill if the Democratic Senators will not seri ously oppose the Senate tariff bill. They think they can get along a great deal better without a force bill than without a tariff bill, and they are pretty level-headed on that. It is very hard to please some women, which is demonstrated by the statement that a good Wisconsin clergyman who loved the sisters so well that he took unto himself nine wives in as many years is now sued for divorce by the ninth. The lack of appreciation in that woman must have been colossal. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Star Office Babbitt metal. Munsons Seasonable clothirfg. J. D. Smith Lathe hands wanted.

C, says that at present the prospect for crops in that part of South Carolina was never better, except possibly in 1882. "Cotton is 50 per cent, better than it was the first of Tuly last year, and corn is over the average and" maturing fast in some sections cotton and corn have suffered a little for lack of rain. Timmonsville will, as heretofore, put on your market the first bale of new cotton, which will go forward some ten or fifteen days earlier than last year. Promote'd. A circular issued from the traffic de partment of the Atlantic Coast Line an nounces the appointment ot Mr. ri. jvi. Emerson as Assistant General Freight and Passenger Agent.

A Drunken Man Falls into the River and is Drowned. James Baker, a colored man about 35 years of age, accidentally fell into the river yesterday afternoon and was drowned before assistance could reach him. The accident occurred a short dis tance above Princess street dock about 3 o'clock. Baker was under the influ fluence of liquor, and in attempting to pass along the edge of the wharf behind a small house in rear of Messrs. X3eo. Harriss & Son's office, staggered, and fell backwards into the river. A colored man on a wood flat saw Baker catch at a ring-bolt on the wharf as he was falling, but he missed it. The tide was running up very fast, and it is supposed that Baker was carried under a lighter, which was lying about thirty feet from the place where he fell in. During the afternoon and evening sev eral colored men were engaged search ing for the body of the unfortunate man, with drags and by diving, but had been unable to recover it up to 8 o'clock p. m. Baker was a well known colored man, and had worked along the river front for years. He leaves a wife and three children. CLUBS ARE TRUMPS. Policemen and the Dog A Shooting Match at the City Hall. A very bad dog not a mad dog caused something of a sensation yester day morning in the neighborhood of Chesnut and Fourth and Fifth streets, and, it is alleged, bit several colored boys and a white man. The latter re ported the matter at Police headquar ters, and an officer was sent out to arrest the dog and bring him to the City Hall. This was speedily accomplished. The dog was led into the yard at the Hall by a colored boy and set up as a target for pistol prac tice for all the members of. the force present. They did about as good shoot ing as the "Wild Cat" team on the Fourth of July, and after the firing ceased and the smoke cleared away, it was found that the dog was badly scared but otherwise not much the worse for the fusillade. Clubs were then called and an expert wielder of the "locust" soon gave the poor dog his quietus. HIGHWAYMEN. Still Lurking on the Outskirts of the City. Mr. B. R. King, keeper of the County Poor House, reports two attempts at highway robbery last Saturday night, just beyond the city limits; both of which, however, were unsuccessful. One of the persons stopped on the road was a truck farmer, Wm. Wiggins, who was accosted by two . colored men just beyond Little Bridge about 10 o'clock that night. T,he men demanded Wiggins' money, but they ran off when he drew a pistol and showed fight. Later in the night, a colored employe at the Poor House, while on his way from the city, was stopped by two men, supposed to be the same who had accost ed Wiggins, but they were again driven off by the display of a pistol. The col ored man fired several shots at them as they disappeared in the darkness. NAVAL STORES. The Stocks at the Ports at the Close of the "Week.

The resignations of Messrs. M. J. Cor- bett, one of the nominees for the Legis lature, and C. M. Harriss, nominee for Constable, were accepted, and the va cancies will be filled later. There was also a conference held with representatives from the Farmers' Alli ance, who asked for more representation on the State and Congressional delega tions, and also asked for representation on the Legislative ticket, and the follow ing resolution was passed by the Execu tive Committee: The Farmers' Alliance, through its representatives, Capt. S. W. Noble, Pre sident New Hanover County Farmers' Alliance, and I. W. Minis, sought a conference with the Democratic Executive Committee of this coun ty, and demanded representative far mers on the Legislative ticket, and representation in the Congressional and State Conventions; and on being questioned, Capt. Noble stated that should we accede to their demands that they could not promise to support any Democratic candidate who would not pledge himself to support the de mands of the Farmers' Alliance, but on the other hand stated, in answer to a question, that they would support the Republican candidate in preference, should he accede to the demands of the Farmers' Alliance even though the Democratic party divide its nominees with the said Alliance. We therefore desire to. say that as Democrats, we could not deviate from the platform of the Democratic party, and by our action pledge the Demo cratic voters to support the demands of the Farmers' Alliance, and have there fore declined to accede to the demands of the committee with whom we con ferred.

The Industrial Manufacturing Company Reports of the Secretary and Treasurer and President Directors Eleoted. The first annual meeting of the Indus trial Manufactuiing Company was held in the City Court room last nighr. The meeting was called to order and, on mo tion, Mr. Jacob S. Allen was called to the chair and Mr. E. F. Johnson ap pointed secretary. Messrs. J. T. Riley and O. M. Fill yaw having been appointed a committee to ascertain the number of shares repre sented, reported 617 shares, which being a majority of the stock, the meeting was declared duly organized, The general statement of the Secre tary and Treasurer, in printed form, was presented and distributed among the stockholders for examination. The President, John D. Bellamy, Jr., made a verbal report of the general con dition of the Company, showing that notwithstanding the unavoidable delay in getting the machinery, and the fact that in consequence of that delay the factory has been in operation only about three "months, satisfactory progress had been made. Mr. xBellamy's remarks were supplemented by an encouraging statement of Mr. E. F. Johnson. On motion, the meeting proceeded to the election of fifteen Directors with the following result: J. D. Bellamy, Jr.. W. R. Barksdale, Jacob S. Allen, W. F. Williams. S. W. Noble, Wm. H. Howell, R. R. Bellamy, H. I Adjourned. J. L. Boatwright, T. J. Southerland, Wm. H. Bernard, Wm. L. Smith, Wm.

JULY 9, 1890. THE HOT WAVE. The Mercury Still Climbing But Wil mington One of the Coolest Places in the Country. Telegraphic advices and Signal Ser vice observers' reports show that yester day was the hottest day of the season throughout the United Slates; yet in Wilmington the maximum reached by the mercury was only 92, and as the in dicated temperature wasjgreatly modified by a cool breeze from the southwest, it is safe to say that Wilmington was one of the coolest places in the country. At Charlotte the maximum was the same as here- 92 degrees; at Raleigh and Lumberton 94, at Wadesboro and Wel don 96, at Goldsboro 98, and at Cheraw 100. Throughout the cotton belt the average maximum temperature ranged from 90 to 96 degrees. Telegrams from the North show that great heat prevailed there. At Washing ton, D. C the maximum was 97; at 3.45 p. m. it was 96. At New York it reached 100 at 3 p. m. at Broadway and Park Row. At Boston 91. At Rochester, N. Y., 98, These are the prevailing figures in all the reports received from territory west to the Rocky Mountains. In iso lated spots only was there any modera tion of the heat to figures below 90. At Richmond, Va., it was the hottest day of the season. At 9 a. m. the ther mometer registered 94; at 12 m., 99; at rp. m., 100; at 3 p. m., 101; and at 6 p. m.. 97, A Good Suggestion. A prominent citizen of Wilmington who took occasion yesterday to express to Mayor Fowler his approval of the latter's purpose to have a correct census of the city taken, proffered his assist ance, and suggested that it could be taken easily by assigning: one enume rator to each block as laid down in the chart of the city.
