In the benate yesterday a bill was muoduced giving a pension of $2,090 a yv.irto Mrs. Jessie Fremont, and one lor the establishment of a limited postal hi,! telegraph service; the consideration or the sundry civil appropriation bill was then resumed, and continued until the adjournment, only three pages ha ving been disposed of; there was an oftori made in the House to consider the land grant forfeiture bill, but for lack of a quorum nothing was done; an etiort was made to secure a quorum, but it proved truitless. v The Civil Ser vice Commission has issued a circu it; i the effect that there is a lack of oliiblcs for appointment from the -South, and giving times and places for extra examinations. A Paris paper reports that the French have been de feated by the natives on the Upper Niger, and it is (eared that the line of retreat has been blocked. The death-roll from the Lake Gervais disas ter now numbers ninety-five. Col. )o!i!i L. Preston, of the Virginia Military Institute, died Tuesday night in the mVJi year of his age; for forty-three years he had been professor of Languages and Rhetoric in the institution. A thirteen-year old son of Commodore Tmxiou was drowned at Fori'V Norfolk yesterday while bathing. A man held tor rape and murder in Augusta, Ga., has confessed his guilt. All is (jtiiet at Barnwell. S. C, and no further trouble is expected with the negroes. It is reported that the town of Stillwater, Minnesota, has been practically wiped out by a cyclone. An 'eye-witness of the powder ex plosion at King's Mills, Ohio, gives a vivid description of he terrible affair; there were many narrow escapes from death, and he estimates that at least ten persons were killed and twenty wound ed. The remains of Gen. Fremont were interred yesterday in Trinity Cemetery, New York; a number of dis tinguished soldiers and friends of the deceased attended the funeral. The bodies of the three missing victims of die Lake Gervais cyclone were re covered yesterday. A new Cabinet has been formed at Cape Town. ' Nev York markets: Money easy at Per cent., cotton steady; middling 12 1-10 cents; middling Orleans cents; southern flour dull; wheat opened lower and closed tirmer, with options in moderate demand; No. 2 red 94fg cents at elevator; corn unsettled early and weak, and closed steadier and moderately active; No. 2, 4344 cents at elevator; rosin firm and quiet; spirits turpentine steady and quiet. There is a newspaper in Memphis -villi the suggestive name of "The Siinn'nr," a sort of a slasher, as it were. The Monroe Register now issues a :ailv, a four column paper, chock 1 ill of news, local and general. We '.visit it success. New York has just finished her .- .:;,( h;o,o)) aqueduct, which will ave the average New Yorker with out a good excuse for taking on so rt inv schooners of beer. A Washington man has written all of 1'resiilent Harrison's message, containing 10,000 words, on a postal ard. That's about the size of the liit-ssage when you get down to the marrow of it. Tlte Norfolk Landmark, comment ing on the fact that Charlotte has a public bath, complains that Norfolk, with all her magnificent advantages, has no such convenience for her pop ulation. Wilmington ditto. The distinguished Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, whom the distinguished Mr. flouk, of Tennessee, calls a "nui sance," is a native of Guilford coun ty, in this State. But he didn't re main here long enough to be well reared. This is a very bad year for cy- dones out west. But wait till that other cyclones come in November, and see the Republican statesmen getting into their dug-outs. There will be a scampering and a hustling then sure enough. Kven the imported Hungarians vho have been brought into the coal mines of Pennsylvania can't stand '-he wages paid by the protected Karons. A hundred and fifty of them puiled up stakes and went back to Hungary last week. The Republican constituents of I II. Gonger, of Iowa, who helped I'oss Reed to strangle the free coin age silver bill, have shown their ap preciation of that gentleman by nominating by acclamation J. A. T. Hull, as his successor. The Morning Star VOL. XLVL--NO. 99. As an illustration of the P-rowth of Chicago, it is stated that in 1840 she had a population of 4,479, and now claims about 1,100,000. If the State of Illinois keeps on increasing in population, and Chicago keeps on taking in the suburbs, she will have about 4,000,000 after awhile. What Chicago don't know about increasing her population ain't worth finding out. A young man has been arrested at Bar Harbor, one of the fashionable summer resorts of Maine, for wear ing false whiskers. The young man was all right but he had a weakness for whiskers which he couldn't culti vate successfully. Now suppose Vice President Morton should go to Bar Harbor with his assortment of wigs. Would they put him in the calaboose? Mrs. Hendricks authorizes the de nial of that statement that she told Gov. Hill that he need never come to her house again if he let Mr. Cleve land beat him for the nomination for the Presidency. It all grew out of her joking Gov. Hill about letting Mr. Cleveland beat him in getting a wife. If the Republican bosses in Wash ington won't divide the "pickins" fairly or thereabouts with the dis tinguished Mr. Houk and the dis tinguished Mr. Evans, they should withdraw from the Republican par ty. Their self-respect and their re spect for the "pickins" makes this course absolutely imperative. It is said that the population of Maine is . diminishing so that she may possibly lose some of her Con gressional Representatives. But while she has Boss Reed she should be content. One such able hustler as Reed should be enough for two or three States like Maine. The Turks roast the Armenians to force taxes out of them. The fes Turk doubtless caught this idea from reading about the Republican bosses "frying the fat" out of the protected manufacturers. This is proof that the proverbial go-slow Turk is progressive. A pretty girl in Iowa has run away from home to avoid practicing upon the piano. The neighbors of that girl, when she comes back, will doubtless present her with a chromo, not for running away but for sparing them from that practicing. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

The Chronicle says: It was conceded by the white baseballists in attendance to be one of the best games ever played there by any nine. Lee Hand, of the Charlotte Juniors, acted as umpire.

The Wilmington Light Infan try's excursion to Carolina Beach takes place to-day. The proceeds are for the benefit of the encampment fund for the company. Jones Wilson, the 12-year old white boy detained at the City Hall (as mentioned in the Star) was released vesterday to enable him to look for em ployment in the city. The Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad Company is building an immense barge on the west side of the river, opposite Orange street dock, to be used for transporting freight cars across the river. One of the oldest subscribers to the Daily Star is a worthy and in dustrious colored man at Rosindale, N. C. His name is T. W. Spaulding, and he is not only a successful business man, but he pays promptly for the Star, to which he has been a regular subscriber for sixteen years. The Hornets to Encamp with the First Regiment. The Charlotte News says that Capt. T. R. Robertson, commanding the Hornets' Nest Riflemen of Charlotte, has received notice from Gov. Fowle that the request of the Company to be allowed to go into encampment with the First and Second Regiments this year was granted. The Hornets are ordered to report at Wrights ville on die 22d of July, and will be tem porarily attached to the First Regiment. The Chronicle, referring to the matter, says: The Hornets' Nest Riflemen, as a part of the Fourth Regiment were or dered to encampment in August. The Company could not attend in August, but could go this month. Accordingly the Governor was petitioned to allow the Company to go in July, with the First Regiment. This petition was sent up through Col. J. T. Anthony, who marked it disapproved, and forwarded it to Adiutant General Glenn, who put an endorsement on it, and sent the petition to the Governor. An escaped Convict. Deputy Sheriff Elder summoned a posse Tuesday afternoon and went in search of a colored man named Crews, a convict wno escaped some time ago from the State penitentiary. The posse went out to a house a short distance from the city, near Capt. Noble's vineyard, where Crews was known to be in hidinn. but failed to capture the man; he saw them coming and vamosed. The posse fol lowed him some distance on the New bern road; but finally abandoned the chase and returned to the city. Crews was sent to the penitentiary from the Criminal Court of this county some ten years ago, under sentence of twenty years for arson. A reward of $25 will be paid by the State for his cap ture. Colored Firemen's Contest at Charlotte. The Chronicle says of the colored hose reel companies' contest in Char lotte : "The first on the programme was an exhibition race won by the Nep tunesover the usual course of 150 yards; time, 30 seconds, beating Monroe one half second. The second race was won by the Dreadnots of Wilmington. This was a dry race, run without reel; the time to throwing water 25 seconds. The Phoenix nozzle blew off. which ruled them out. The Neptunes of Charlotte made the distance and got water in 21 seconds, but their nozzle blew off. and they were counted out, so the victory belonged to the Dreadnots of Wilming ton. The judges were Walter Brem, Byron H. Bronson and J. A. Bixby, chief of the city paid fire department." Concerning Passengers on the Seacoast Railroad. Passengers on the Seacoast railroad will do well to remember that they can not stop over at Wrightsville on tickets to the Hammocks or Ocean View. Neither can they stop over on a book ticket. If persons desire to stop off at Wrightsville they must buy another ticket from Wrightsville to the Ham mocks. If they wish to stop off at Wrights ville when returning to the city they should buy a ticket from the Hammocks to Wrightsville. Persons cannot go through any of the gates with a ticket that has been punched. THE SEVENTH DISTRICT. Judicial Convention J. D. Hclver Nomi nated for Judge.

This will open up and furnish transportation to one of the finest fruit and vegetable sections of the State, and the finest oys ter beds in the world." Purcell House Flags.

Alexander is the unanimous choice of the New Han over County Alliance for representa tive from the Sixth Congressional Dis trict, and we request the delegates from this county to use all honorable means to secure his nomination. Resolved further, That in supporting the demands of the Alliance we are sup porting the cardinal principles of the Democracy; that we cannot be driven Irom the party by those not in sympathy with our most necessary efforts to se cure legislation friendly to our pursuits; holding him to be an enemy to Demo cracy who opposes demands so long the ground work of our party organization. Resolved, That we unanimously en dorse our President, Capt. S. W. Noble, in refusing to pledge the support of the Alliance to Democratic candidates who would not pledge themselves to support our demands. It was moved that the President be instructed to appoint a committee of three to confer with the Democratic Executive Committee and inform them that we will support all nominees of the party endorsing our demands and do not as a body claim representatives from our selves.
