He never lets anything get away from him that is worth catching. In his last issue he has not only a full account of the depredations of a nondescript varmint which has been striking ter ror into the colored brethren up in those parts, but a lifelike sketch of the beast, taken on the spot by an artist sent out for that especial pur pose. The artist was fortunate enough to catch the beast before the beast caught him, in a most favora ble position for a striking and im pressive picture, rampant as if about to spring on its prey, head erect and tail defiantly waving aloft. We have but one doubt about the accuracy of the artist's work. He must have let his imagination run riot with the tail, supplying this animal with suffi cient appendage' for a whole menag erie. It is said that Kennedy's assault in the House, on Senator Quay, was a put up job by the Republicans, and that it was generally known for some days before that he was going to make it, and took the time to do it when the Pennsylvania delegation was out of the House. Its publica tion in the Recordz.s been suppress ed, but that is not much satisfaction to Mr. Quay, as it was published in every leading paper in the country. Senator Vance tried to get in a lit tle reciprocity for the American farmer Saturday by his proposed amendment to the Tariff bill, allow ing a reduction of import duties on foreign products bought by exchange of American farm products, but the high protectionists who profess to be such great friends of the farmer, beat it by a straight party vote, the Democrats voting for it.

The movement among the colored people in favor of the appointment of one of their race to the vacant Collec torship of this port, seems to be gaining strength. The Chronicle, ol this city, published and edited by colored men, has the following : "The appointment of Mr. J. E. Tay lor, the present Special Deputy Collec tor to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the esteemed and lamented Collector, Captain E. J. Pennypacker, would be a graceful and fitting recogni tion of proficiency and merit. With fit ness and experience greater than any other available candidate, Republican or Democrat, it seems clear that if the colored people ever( wanted the opportu nity to unite as one man and ask for that recognition about which they have manifested so much restlessness, here and now is the time. With a candidate of unquestioned character and of sur passing qualifications, the colored peo ple wilr never unite if they cannot now unite and agree upon asking that Mr. John E. Taylor be promoted to the office over which he already has so frequently and efficiently presided." Golden Wedding. Mr. and Mrs. W. I. Eddins, of Char lotte, parents of Mrs. Frank Williams, of this city, celebrated their golden wed ding yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. Williams and their two children were present. The Charlotte Chronicle has the follow ing account of the ceremonies: "The golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Eddins vesterdav was an occasion of much pleasure to the company of children, grana-cnuaren, greai-granu-children and a few family connections, who gathered at the home for its cele bration, The entire family numbers thirty, twenty-eight of whom were pres sent. Mr. Eddins addressed the com pany in a few grateful and touching re marks about the happy period of fifty years which in the providence of God he and his chosen companion had been permitted to spend together. Congrat ulations of the children followed Mr. TTHHirKt' remarks, and afterwards a sil ver waiter, borne by a little grand- . ij i daughter and great grana-aaugnier, containing the golden gifts of the com pany, was presented to the couple. thp mmnanv then enioved an ele gant dinner in a room adorned with evergreens and flowers, yellow being the prevailing color. "Altogether it was a delightful day to the participants." The Monument to the Late Col. L. C. Jones. The monument erected to the late Col. L. C. Jones by 'the officers and employes of the Carolina Central rail road, was put up last week over his grave in the cemetery at Buffalo church. The Sanford Express, speaking ot it says: "The snait is aoout eignieen iccl high, and is made of gray granite from Iredell county. It is in three sections and stands on a granite pedestal. The body of the shaft is quadrangular, with fmir smoothlv polished sides. l ne front inscription is "Leonidas Campbell Jones." The inscriptions on the other sides are, "True to his God, his fellow man and himself," "A tribute from the officers and employes of the C. C. rail road to their late Superintendent." The monument is a handsome and elegant structure, and is worthy of the devotion of the railroad employes to their super intendent aud worthy of the memory of the noble man whose earthly remains lie beneath it and over which it will 6tand as a sentinel for ages." Vhe Way of the Transgressor. The Bennettsville, S; C, Educator publishes the following: One John Baker, a colored youth from Wilmington, N. C, who was serv ing a thirty days sentence for the larceny of some railroad tools, died of typhoid fever, in jail, last Saturday morning. He was kindly cared for by the sheriff and receivedSefficient medical attention, but too late, the decree had been signed: "Thou shalt die and not live." How sad to die in prison in a strange land without hope of life beyond the grave. Truly the way of the transgressor is hard. RNING N. C., TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1890. COMMITTED SUICIDE. Mr. T. K. Folsom, Formerly of Sumter, S. C, Kills Himself With a Pistol-Ill Health and Despondency the Cause. Deaths by violence in this city have been uncommonly frequent of late. Yesterday afternoon Mr. T. R, Fol som, of Sumter," S. C, but for the past two or three years a resident of Wil mington, committed suicide by shooting himself through the head with a pistol. The tragedy occurred at the boarding house of Mr. W. H. Sikes, No. 115 Dock street. The deceased, who had been in bad health for some time past and unable to work, occupied a room in the third story of the building. He was on the street in the morning, but in the afternoon went to his room and told the landlady that he did not wish to be disturbed. The fatal shot was fired about half-past five o'clock, alarming the household and attracting the attention of police officer Gordon, who with health officer McGowan and others, went to ' Folsom's room and found the dying man lying on the floor, with a pistol in his right hand, and a wound from which blood and brain-matter were oozing on the right side of his head just above the ear. The pistol was a small common affair and had oniy one cartridge in it besides the one just discharged. The suicide had apparently made his preparations with deliberation. He had taken a quilt from the bed and spread it on the floor, rolled up another quilt for a pillow, and lying upon these, with his face to the ceiling, placed ihe weapon to his head and fired. The unfortunate man remained unconscious in this position until he died at twenty five minutes past six o'clock. Dr. Pot ter in the meantime had been snmmoned, but saw at once that nothing could be done to save the man's life. Later in the evening Coroner Jacobs summoned a jury and repaired to the house and viewed the body which was af terwards prepared for burial and sent by train last night to Sumter, S. C, for interment. The jury will meet this morning and conclude the inquest. The deceased had been in bad health for some time past, and it is supposed that despondency resulting from this was the cause of the sad tragedy. A colored boy named Tom Jones, who had formerly waited upon Mr. Folsom, said yesterday afternoon that deceased had before made threats to kill himself, and had asked the boy to get laudanum for him for that purpose. Jones said, also, that deceased had agreed to sell him the pistol for. a dollar, and that he came to get it yesterday morning, but Folsom then said he didn't wish to sell the pistol. The deceased a short time ago, in conversation with Mr. Nash King, spoke of his family troubles and said he had then $20 in bank, and when this was ex pended he supposed he would go to the dogs. His family, consisting of a wife and daughter, are living n Sumter, S. C. He left them in 1880 and came to Wil mington, where he worked for a time as a carriage painter. He was about 40 years of age. ONE OF THE EXODUSTERS. A Colored Man .Who Met With Good Fortune in Louisiana. William Grady, a colored man who went from this city out West some time ago, writes as follows to Capt. Jas. M. McGowan, one of the health officers of Wilmington, and hib employer while here Rush Point, La., Aug. 25, 1390. Dear ' Sir I write you to-day that I am well and getting along well.

Organ, etc. The memorial window for the late Gibson Register has been finished and put in by Mr. Ernest Richards, the ar tist. The window is in the centre opening and lacing Fifth street, and has on it the figure ot Jesus, with a shep herd's crook in his hand, a lamb at his feet, and a lamb looking over his shoul der into his face. There is also an in scription, givng the age. and stating that Mr. Register was Superintendent of the Sunday School for twelve years, and that the window is erected by the child ren of the school. On the right of the picture is a scroll with the words, "Loveth thou me ?" On the left, "Feed my lambs." Above the head of the figure is a raised crown, with a cross above it. The drapery is very rich, and the whole work shows the most artistic taste. The glass used in the window is the finest quality of cathedral glass im ported. There is also a window just finished for Mrs, E. Keen, to be put in by the Ladies Aid Society. It is described as a perfect beauty. The carpet for the church is now being made ; the frescoing is nearly aompleted, and the chairs have ar rived and will soon be put in place The chandeliers are said to be the finest of any church in the city, and are given by the Oxford League Society.
