The War
Department has received dispatches in

soon be ended; Sitting Bull's people and
those of Big Foot have come in and sur

are now few in number; at Red Cloud's
.camp the police arrested the Messiah,
who proved to be an intelligent but
termless crank from Iowa; some of the

Nevada has become a much more
xespectable State since Senator
Stewart jumped on and mauled that

Senator Voorhees got down his
broad sword, keen-edged as a lance,

The Republicans say they are not

The New York Commercial Adver

filled with reading matter appro
priate to the season and beautifully
illustrated.
The Indian police who murdered
Sitting Bull scalped him. When In
dian police go for a man and get
him they want to be dead sure they
have got him, and that he can't get
away. When they shoot him and
scalp him they itnow they've got
him.
Rev. A. B. Fizer, of Arkansas, is
in trouble, He was badly scooped
UP by the Democrats in his race for
Governor, and now a Conference of
his church has suspended him for
five months for leaving his flock
without permission and running for
overuor and being walloped.
Mr. Parnell expresses the opinion
that all things considered the battle
had been fought with little ill-temper

and other Uttie tokens of esteem at

The Democratic Senators are very
unaccommodating. They refused
again Monday to oblige old Codfish
by informing him when they would
quit talking on the Force bill, and
agree to a time for taking a vote
upon it. There is an old saying that
there is a time for all things, but this
is one of the things the Democratic
Senators think there is no time for.
Mr. Caminetti, who has been elect
ed to Congress from California, is of
Italian parentage but was born in
California, and is said to be the first
native , born Calif ornian elected to
either House. It seems to us that Mr.
Pachecho, who served in Congress
some years ago, was a native of the
State, whose ancestors for years had
lived"in California.
Hanging festivals seem to be very
nicely conducted in Canada. The
Associated Press dispatch says,
speaking of the hanging of Blanch
ard : "The whole proceedings were
without an unpleasant incident."
The presumption is that the chief
performer in these proceedings, who
fell and broke his neck, did not send
this dispatch.

Last Night's Fire.
Fire broke out about half-past six
o'clock last night in a two-story frame
dwelling house on Sixth between Ann
and Church streets, owned by Mr. Sol
Bear and occupied by Mr. J. Mack
Wilson, police officer Hall and others.
The fire began in the kitchen attached
to the dwelling, and it is sup
posed was caused by a box of
hot ashes placed near the woodwork.
The kitchen was in flames before the
fire was discovered and its progress was
so rapid that the occupants of the house
saved only a ;part of their household
goods. The building was destroyed,
causing a loss estimated at about $2,000,
which is probably covered by insurance.
There was no insurance on the furniture
of the occupants.
It was a stubborn fire, and gave
the Department a great deal ot
trouble. The firemen had four streams
ot water playing aud succeeded in saving
the property adjoining. A house on the
south side of the burning building, oc
cupied by Mr. Sikes, caught fire but
was saved by the efforts of the firemen.
There was delay in sending in the
alarm. An attempt . was first made at
box No. 42, corner of Fifth and Orange
streets, but it failed, and recourse was
had to box No. 41. corner of Fifth and
Castle streets, and this alarm brought
out the Fire Department.
The "Small boy" put in some good
and humane work during the progress
of the fire, rescuing a dog that was
chained sufficiently near the flames to
have perished, and a basket of chickens
that were close enough to have their
"tail feathers scorched."
A Ckristmas Fox Chase.
A number of gentlemen arrived in the
city last night from Gold"boro, to en

Manning's place at Wrightsville. The
gentlemen comprising the party are
Messrs. Will Hunter, J. W. Lamb, W.
T. Dortch, I. H. Hill, Jr., Dr. Jas. Spicer,
J. R. Parks, J. W. Wood, George Best

The Board of Aldermen Grant the Bight of
Way on Front and Surry Streets.
The Board of Aldermen met at the
City Hall last night at 8 o'clock to con
sider the ordinance granting the right
of way to the W., O. & E. C. Railroad
Company on Front and Surry streets.
Alderman Craft submitted the ordi
nance, Alderman Montgomery moved
its adoption and Alderman Bell sec
onded the motion.
Alderman Pearsall said that he had
been reliably informed that the extreme
end of what is known as Front street is
not really the street ; that it lies farther
the right. He asked if the city would
be liable if this should turn out to be a
fact. City Attorney Cutlar explained
that no liability would attach to the
city; granting right of way did not
amount to anything if any part of the
street should turn out to be priyate prop-
rty.
The ordinance was then submitted to
vote and was adopted unanimously.
It
grants the right of way on Front
street, and on Surry street as far as
opened, as asked for by the company;
that the corporate authorities of the city
may from time to time prescribe such
emulations as they may deem proper
for the safety, security and comfort of
the citizens. The grade of the track
shall be established by the Citv
Surveyoi and the company shall
fill in Dawson street on the north side,
and Wooster and Surry streets as the
city authorities may determine. It is
required, also, that when the streets on
which the road runs are paved the
track shall also be paved with the same
material by the railroad company, and
that the company shall surrender and
give up the privilege heretofore granted
for the use of Queen street.
The railroad company commenced
work yesterday on a portion of the road
passed upon by the City Surveyor, and
will now press the work vigorously until
its completion to the river side at the
foot of Queen street. It is expected
that the work will be finished in three
weeks.
The matter of the right of way for the
railroad through the property of the
Cotton Mills Co. has been amicably ar
ranged; the question of damages to be
settled by arbitration.

give their time and talent and render
all assistance possible.

THE COLLECTORSHIP.
Mr. J. C. Ij. Harris Throws Some Side
Light on the Fight for the Wilmington
Col ectorship.
Mr. J. C. L. Harris, who has just, re
turned to Raleigh from a visit to Wash
ington, D. C,. gives the News and Ob
server some points about the Wilming
ton Collectorship. The fight, Harris
says, has reached a white heat. James
H. Young, of Raleigh, and John Taylor.
of Wilmington, now acting Collector.
and formerly Deputy Collector under
Mr. Pennypacker, are the contestants
for the position. Young is backed by
Cheatham, and Taylor is championed
by Judge D. L. Russell, ex-Sheriff Man
ning, and other prominent Republicans
of Wilmington. Judge Russell has
filecU over his own name charges
against Young that he committed
penury in the last election. Having
been living in Raleigh and taking active
part in the ward meetings, and being
elected to the county and State conven
tions, Judge Russell states that Young s
residence is in that city, and that he is
now Secretary of the Wake county Re
publican committee. Notwithstanding
this, Judge Russell states that Young
registered and voted at Wilmington and
swore that he had been in New Han
over county ninety days previous to his
registration. Other serious charges have
been preferred against Young by Judge
Russell, one to the effect that Young,
who is now Inspector of Customs at
Wilmington, which he has held for some
months.-frequently left his office and was
away from the city in Cheatham's dis
trict doing political work for days at a
time, and that he swore that on those
days on which he was absent he was en-,
faged in the performance of his duty as
nspector of Customs.
Young, on the other hand, says that
he was absent with the knowledge and
consent of the Treasury officials, and
that it is so stated on his vouchers.
Judge Russell has announced that if
Young is again nominated for collector
of the port of Wilmington, his confirma
tion will be resisted, and if confirmed
he will have Young prosecuted in the-
frederal Court for making false charges
against the government and for perjury.
It is understood that Judge Kussell has
had an interview with the President,
and that he said that having nominated
Young once he would do so again, un
less some good reason was shown why
he should not do so, and Judge Russell
left Washington under the impression
that Young would be nominated.
Personal.
Mr. Christian Bornemann, father of
Messrs. J. C, J. H. and G. W. Borne
mann and Mrs. Kate uerdes, ot tnis
city, arrived here last night from
Lamstedt, amt Osten, Provinz Han
nover, (jermany, and will spend some
months with his children. It has been
nineteen years since they met, and it is
hardly necessary to say that there was
rejoicing in the Bornemann family last
night.
A Cold Christmas.
The Signal Service obseryer last night
received a telegram from the chie f
signal officer at Washington, D. C,
directing that the cold wave signal be
displayed. The temperature, it was
said, will fall to about thirty-six degrees
by 8 a. m. on the 25th. The tempera
ture last night, at the time the telegram
was received was at 50 degrees.
