Empress Abasia Victoria, of Germany, has given birth to a son; the Emperor was attend ing a performance at the opera house Wiien the event occurred, and hastily for the palace when the accouch nent was announced to him; when the a j .I;-nee learned of the event there was the greatest enthusiasm, all rising to their ;Ve; and shouting -Long live the Emoerorand Empress." The Grand Hotel at Margate, England, was entire ly destroyed by fire Wednesday night, many oi the guests made narrow es capes, and were compelled to rush from the burning building in their night cly.hes.

Another plot has been discovered to murder the Czar of Russia. Be tween efforts to keep down his own weight and prevent the Nihilists from making him a dead weight the Car is a busy man. Saccf, the Italian faster, who is now citing the fast act in New York, has passed his forty-second day. He started out to fast forty-five days. He has lost about fifty pounds in weight since he began. The Indian racket is now on, and the rifle popping has begun. The killing of Mr. Bull knocked the stuff ing out of the pipe of peace. There is neither fun nor glory in a tussle with the Indians. It is too much like a dgfight. Codfish Hoar is becoming quite accommodating. He isn't particular1 when, but will be satisfied if the democrats will fix upon any time when they will quit talking and Permit a vote to be taken on the Force bill, and the naughty Demo crats wouldn't oblige him even that far. Congressman Stahlnecker was topped by the Doorkeeper of the House of Representatives the other da'- As that was the first time Mr. Stahlnecker had put in an appear ance since early in July, the Door keeper didn't deem it necessary to ake any apologies for not knowing him. There are still on the pension rolls three surviving widows of revolutionary soldiers.

I ME VOL. XLVII.-NO. 75. Some time ago Mr. John Russell Young, managing editor of the New York Herald, gave a big dinner to Gen. Pryor on his being appointed to the judgeship. A very distin guished party was present, and some notable speeches were made, among them one by Chauncy M. Depew in which he referred to Mr. Cleveland as the "typical American." A controversy arose over this speech, "Mr. Depew denying that he gave Cleveland such a boost, and it seems that Mr. Bennett objected to the published accounts of the proceed ings, the sequel being that Mr. Young severed his connection with the Herald. Since M. Gorman informed Mr Hoar that the Senate was only on the threshold of the debate on the Force bill perhaps Codfish has come to the conclusion that it isn't as easy to wear the Democratic talking apparatus out as he thought it was. Senator Morgan, for instance, don't like to crowd more than three or tour speeches into one day, but when forced to it by Force bills, etc., he can crowd four or five days into one speech, and then come up smiling with another. A blinding snow storm put in an appearance at Asheville almost simultaneously with the Immigration Convention. This demonstrates the fact that Asheville. has not only a broad exi arise of climate but that she can on special occasions get up a first-class snow storm. In matters of this kind Asheville don't propose to be left. A Republican politician in Cincin nati has become crazy and imagines that he is a oose. This is no evi dence of insanity, it may only be p. oof that the man's brain has been struck by a solid fact. Any man who would stay in a party with such a re cord as the Republican party is a goose. When Senator Morgan, ot Ala bama, in the debate on the Force bill Wednesday quoted for the benefit of Senator Dolph that clause in the constitution of Oregon re stricting suffrage to white citizens, Senator Dolph was struck with a sudden and mighty dumbness. Hon. Chauncey M. Depew, be lieves that currency should be ex pended for, he says, the enterprises of this age of steam and electricity have made the currency of the coun try utterly insufficient for the de mands of legitimate trade. r NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

In the multiplicity of charitable insti tutions that have of late sprung into existence in our midst, the oldest and most venerable, and we might add, the most practically useful, is about to be overlooked. We refer to the Ladies' Benevolent Society, that finds itself at this time almost destitute of funds, while beseiged by worthy people asking for assistance. The cold weather of late has brought to light many cases ot suffering, not only for lack of wood, but cases of actual need of the necessities of life and of clothing. The funds of the society are gone and the good women who voluntarily take upon themselves the unpleasant but Christian duty of seeking out the dis tressed and sick, find themselves power less to lend substantial assistance to the many cases that press around them for relief. The Young Men's Christian Associa tion, "The King's Daughters" and other kindred associations, worthy in themselves and accomplishing good, have taken away the interest that once was manifested in the old association, and have crippled its finances and its usefulness. This society, from long and intimate acquaint ance with the poor, knows how to spend most advantageously the money en trusted to its care, and while it may at times have helped those not so worthy of assistance, their poverty and suffer ing were such as demanded immediate relief, and that relief was given. When people are sick and starving, charity as sists regardless of what past life may have been, and rightly so, yet some have objected to this society be cause it assisted what they termed the "unworthy' Could the benevolently inclined, and those that havp heretofore been subscribers to this charity know the manner in which their contri butions have been distributed, no one would cavil at its expenditure. Money, clothing aud food are needed, and in this good Christmas "time, when those who have more than enough of this world's goods, and feel like doing an act that their conscience will approve.and their heart applaud, let them send a con tribution to any of the ladies that com prise this organization, and let them make glad the face of a poverty stricken child, or make warm the body of some mother who is depriving herself that the children may be clothed.

RNINGf N. C, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1890. WILMINGTON & ONSLOW RAILROAD. A Hearing Before a Committee of the Board of Alaermen on Petition of the Company for Bight of Way Over Cer tain Streets. Aldermen Montgomery, Smith and Craft, the special committee to whom was referred the petition of the Wil mington. Onslow & East Carolina Rail road Company, asking for right of way along South Front street, from Kidder to Dawson street, and thence along Sur ry streeet to Castle; and, also, that Sur ry street be opened on its southern ex tension from Queen to Dawson street, met last evening in the Mayor's office at the City Hall, to hear what opponents and friends of the petition had to say about the matter. There were twenty-five or thirty gentle men in all present, representing the Wilmington Cotton Mills, the railroad company, the Carolina Oil & Creosote Works, and Messrs. S. & W. H. Northrop, Mr. Geo. Kidder, Mr. W. L. Smith, Mr. M. Cronly and others. Col. Waddell, attorney for the rail road company, said the amended peti tion asked for the right of way on Surry street to Castle (instead of Church street). Mr. D. B. Cutlar stated the case. The company asked for two things the pri vilege of running up Front street to Dawson, and thence, cutting across the property of the Cotton Mills to Surry, to run along that street to Castle; and, second, to open up Surry street. He ex plained the powers of the city in regard to the streets, which he said had all been originally dedicated by the owners of lands -through which the streets ran. The railroad company had the right to condemn lands for the road under the laws of the State, but this matter the city had nothing to do with. Whether the city should open Surry street is another matter. He thought there was very little to discuss except the privilege of Front street. Mr. W. A. French, in behalf of the Wilmington Cotton Mills, said the mat ter of right of way through their prop erty and the opening up of Surry street hadbeen sprung upon themwithout notice and in the absence of their counsel from the city; the company did not want the street opened; it would injure their property; a cut of at least five feet in depth would have to be made through it; besides, the smoke from passing en gines would damage the goods made at the factory; and the fine bleached goods which they were now preparing to manu facture; they had already suffered in this particular from smoke from adjacent manufactories. Mr. Geo. R. French and Mr. Don McRae also gave reasons why Surry street should not be opened. Mr. McRae thought that a cut of twenty feet in depth instead of five feet would be required for the road. Mr. Geo. R. French called attention to the fact that the railroad company had already the right in their charter of running the road on Queen street. Col. Waddell said the question raised was as to some private property; but all the committee had to consider was the granting of the privilege on the streets. He claimed that Surry street was al ready virtually opened, The railroad company had bought the Van Bokkelen property at the foot of Queen street, and wished to reach it. He combatted the idea that the railroad would injure the products of the mill ; but it did not lie in their mouths to protest when they (the mill owners) had offered to sell the right of way to the company. But this was altogether a private matter. The question lor the committee was whether there was any outcry against granting the privilege on the streets asked by the company. The railroad company was prepared to pay private property owners all the law required, for the privileges it asked. Mr. D. McRae said that the Gas Com pany were opposed to the road running its tracks to Castle street, and would, if necessary, petition against it. After further expressions of opinion, pro and con., the committee rose and the gentlemen present took their de parture. The committee will make their report to the Board at a meeting of the latter next Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock. BY RIVER AND RAIL. Receipts of Naval Stores and Cotton Yesterday.
