The X. V. Tribune, anticipating
defeat, remarks that it. will be very
difficult to get out a full Republican
vote this fall. Enthusiasm seems to
have taken a back seat.
They do say that Gen. Mahone,
too, is oat of politics. What would
Republican politics in Virginia be
without Hilly Mahone, the most pic
turesque figure in the whole men
agerie.
The Republicans of Michigan de
clare in their platform that "The
Republican party believes that the
interests of the farmers should be
carefully guarded." That old rot is
about played out.
Mr. M. H. DeYoung, Republican,
proprietor of the San Francisco
Chronicle, says he wouldn't object to
being a United States Senator, but
as it costs about $300,000 in his
State to be elected he will not try.
Tom Reed has hard luck. Blaine
not only got away with him with the
patronage in his district, but a poet
has got to grinding out verses about
him. This is too much, coming all
at once. Verily the way of the
transgressor is hard.
Ex-Gov. Cameron, of Virginia, is
receiving numerous letters from Re
publicans who have followed his
example and pulled out of the Re
publican party. If this thing goes
on Billy Mahone and his colored
dupes will have it all to themselves.
It is said the fiat has gone out that
Mr. Coleman, Republican of Louisi
ana, shall not be re-elected, because
he had the honesty and the nerve to
vote against the tariff bill. That is
not the kind of Republican repre
sentatives the party bosses want
trom the South.

VOL. XLVII.--NO. 14.
Benjamin Franklin thousrht he had
nis will pretty well fixed when he
died, but now, after a hundred years,
it is to be contested. It seems that
he left the sum of .1,000 to be held
in trust for the. benefit of needv
"young married artfsans" in the
cities oT Philadelphia and Boston.
The fund was to be placed at inter
est. Franklin calculated that in a
hundred years it would amount to
$600,000. It now amounts to $100 -
000, but the provisions of the will
are such that the money cannot be
practically expended as contempla
ted. The heirs of Franklin, of whom
there are a good many, somewhat
prominent people, too, talk of con
testing the will and claiming the ac
cumulated fund.
Mr. Carnegie, of Pittsburg, who
makes of profit of $1,500,000 a year
trom the protection tax on iron, but
who spends most of his time and
money in England and Scotland, is
a humorist. In an address in Dun
dee the other day, he said: "In
America the members of Parliament
are poor men and are paid, and
they legislate in favor of the poor,"
of whom he should have added by
way of illustration, I am one. He
must have rated the intelligence of
his audience very low, however,
when he addressed them in that
reckless style.
A New Yorker writes the World
that he has crossed the ocean four
teen times, but has never seen a
game of base ball. There are men
who have spent their whole lives on
the ocean who have never seen a
game of base ball. The ocean is not
a good place for base ball- playing.
But then on the other hand there are
men who have played fourteen
games of LTase ball who have never
crossed the ocean once.
Leonard Tobias, the reputed son
of a New York millionaire, who with
his young wife had a royal time in
Yokohoma, Japan, where he lived at
the rate of $5,000 a day till he got
through $100,000, wound his big
time up by shooting a hole through
his head after a twenty 'day frolic.
Too much fool and the green-eyed
monster was what ailed him. He was
jealous of his wife.
The new tariff law is beginning to
make itself felt. The Dry Goods
Economist says that prices now are
about ten per cent, higher than they
were in August, on all goods in
which wool plays a prominent part
as a raw material, while linens and
knit fabrics have increased in the
same ratio. This is 'only the begin
ning. ''
Mjij. J. H. Gould, nominated for
State Auditor of Massachusetts has
come down and out. They went for
his record and raked up some old
transactions of twenty years ago
which he couldn't face, and therefore
concluded that for the good of the
party he had better retire. Mr.
Gould is entirely too thin-skinned to
be a Republican.
The Cook county, Illinois, Demo

THE FIRE-DEPARTMENT.
Chief Newman's Report and Beoommen.
dations to the Board of Aldermen.
I would respectfully report that the
tubes in the boiler of the "Adrian" en
gine are leaking badly, making it diffi
cult to keep the fires from going out. I
had the tubes rolled out. but it did not
remove the cause. It will, therefore, ne
cessitate replacing with new tubes at
ones.
I have also received a communication
from the Fifth Ward Hook & Ladder Co.
(enclosed) stating that their present
truck house is in a very dilapidated
condition and asking for a new house
or to have the old one made ten able
I have examined the building and find it
unfit for the purpose it is used for. I
would therefore ask your honorable
hoard to take some action in the mat
ter.
One thousBnd feet of Paragon hose
lias been received by this department,
has been tested and found to be up to
requirements.
I would also respectfully report that
complaints have been made to me
regarding unsafe buildings one on
Fourth between Church and Castle
streets, and the other on Fifth between
Chesnut and Mulberry. Both have
been examined by the Chief of Police
and myself, and condemned, and ought
to be repaired or pulled down.
A great many fires are caused by foul
chimneys, An ordinance requiring the
burning out in rainy weather or clean
ing chimneys before the cold weather
sets in, would greatly diminish the num
ber of fires and false alarms of fire in the
city.
Out Speeirf Reporters.
The reports of Rev. Sam. Jones's ser
mons which were given in the Star,
have been highly complimented.. The
morning sermons were reported by Mrs.
W. F. Williams, who also prepared the
"Pungent Hits," a very interesting de
partment in itself. Mrs. Williams'
work was admirably done, and Mr. Jones
himself said her synopses of his sermons
were equal to any he had ever seen.
The night services were reported by
Mr. Allan Brown, a young lawyer of this
city, who has shown a decided aptitude
for journalistic, work. He, too, dis
charged his duties faithfully and well.
To condense into a column and a
half, and do it creditably, a sermon that
in full would occupy five to seven col
umns, requires a peculiar talent; and it
is believed the Star's special reporters
exhibited this talent in a marked
degree.

YOUNG ROBBERS.
Arrest of Colored Boys "Who Have Been
Raiding - Private Residences During
the Absence of the Owners A White
Man Implicated.
Robert Jones, Will Wright and Sam.
Wright, colored boys about fifteen years
old, were arraigned before Mayor Fow
ler yesterday, charged with burglary in
the second degree, in breaking into and
robbing in the night time the residences
of Mr. W. H. Northrop and Mr.
E. J. Powers, on South Fifth street,
while the owners were temporari
ly absent from the city, some
two or three weeks ago. An account of
the robbery was published at the time
in the Star, and it was stated at the
time that there was no clue to the
thieves. The police, however, have been
diligently at work on the case, and final
ly secured evidence that led to the ar
rest of the boys mentioned. At
the investigation of the case against
them yesterday, the testimony of
the witnesses went to show that the
houses were broken open and robbed by
Jones, who gave some of the stolen
articles to the Wright boys to sell, which
led to their arrest and the capture of
the Jones boy. After a patient inves
tigation, the Mayor committed Jones on
the charge of larceny, and released the
other two boys who were recognized for
their appearance as witnesses at the
Criminal Court.
Upon information given by Robert
Jones, a warrant was then issued for the
arrest of a white man named L. Melton,
who lives in a shanty in the woods near
the "'old Newbern road, about four
miles from town. Jones said that after
the robbery of Mr. Powers' house he
left town to go to Onslow coun
ty and stopped at Melton's shanty; that
Melton took possession of the articles,
and that he saw Melton attending the
Sam. Jones meetings at the Tabernacle
wearing a suit of clothes that was taken
from Mr. Powers Tand was in the bun
dle left at Melton's house.
Special officer Wm. Sheehan was sent
to serve the warrant on Melton.
He found the latter at his home
and took him into custody, but while
the officer was searching the premises
his prisoner got away and finally es
caped. The officer foujid, however, the
suit of clothes belonging to Mr. Powers
and a number of other articles stolen
from Mr. Northrop's and. Mr. Powers'
houses.
Robert Jones was also arraigned in
another case, with a colored boy named
Charles Robbins, for burglary in the
second degree in breaking into and rob
bing in the night time the residence of
Mr. Marsden Bellamy, on Market street,
about the time the other robberies men
tioned above were committed. On this
charge both Jones and Robbins were
held for the action of the Criminal
Court.
The depredations committed by these
robbers were of the most outrageous
and wanton character. A police officer
who went through Mr. Powers' house
said it looked as if Sherman's bummers
had visited it. Handsome furniture in
the rooms had been broken and ruined
with a hatchet which had been used to
break open bureau drawers, and every
thing was scattered on the floors. At
one of the other houses iars of preserves
had been broken and the contents of
the jars thrown about the rooms, and
carpets, bedding and furniture was
otherwise soiled, defaced and injured.
Melton, the white man who made his
escape from officer Sheehan, is believed
to have been a regular "fence" for the
disposal of stolen goods.
CAROLINA INSURANCE CO.
Meeting of Stockholders Dividend De
clared. A special meeting of stockholders of
the Carolina Insurance Company was
held yesterday at the Bank of New Han
over .
Mr. G. W. Williams, President of the

Mr. M. S. Willard secretary.

maiority of the capital stock.
On motion of Mr. E. S. Martin, the
Board of Directors were empowered to
declare a dividend; and were authorized
to increase the capital stock to $50,000
or more, but not to exceed $75,000.

approved security from any subscriber

of Directors a dividend of 10 per cent,
was declared, lo be paid on October
20th to stockholders of record.

ers. A Mad-Stone.
Mr. J. M. Anderson, of South Wash

tventy years ago by Showden ' Pearce,
living in what was then a part of New

VITAL STATISTICS.
Dr. P. W. Potter's Report for the Month
of September.
The report of Doctor Potter for the
month of October gives the total num
ber of deaths in the city during the
month as 38, including eight still-born
and one accidentally killed showing a
less number of deaths than the same
month for five years past. The re
port says: "We have consumption
as a prevailing disease, especially
among the colored population and
due greatly to their manner of
life. We very seldom have a well
marked case of old fashioned bilious
fever; which was very common forty
years since, as was dysentery. There
must be some caase for this, more than
the lapse of time. May it not be the
draining of ponds or stagnant bodies of
water in our city."
Among the causes oi death were
consumption, which carried off one
white and five colored; convulsions,
three colored; apoplexy, two colored;
typho-malarial fever, two colored.
There were over three times as many
deaths among the colored population as
the white; the figures being :
White adults, 3; children, 6. Total, 9.
Colored adults, 10; children, 19.
Total, 29.
Jas. H. Young, recently ap
pointed Collector of this port, is here
and is suspiciously quiet. He says he
is letting the other side do the talking.
"The other side" includes the "white
bosses."
