And yet there might be a good deal more z'i" than there is. It is highly disrespectful in Sena tor Farwcii to refer to Mr. Harrison as "little and mean." No good Re p io.'.oan should do that." i Here are now in this country loT.lIt! miles of railway of which oV'ltJ miles have been constructed within the past five years.

One of the Rothchilds has been living on vegetable diet and going bare-footed as a nerve cure.

XL VII. NO. 84. Trickery seems to be the order of the day among the Republican ma chine managers. In Illinois notice was served by the Chairman of the Republican . State Committee of a contest for the seats of five Demo cratic Senators-elett. Notice was put off until the very last day under the law to throw the Democrats off guard and prevent reprisals. We regret to learn of the destruc tion by fire of the office of the Win ston Daily, which occurred the night before Christmas. This was a serious loss to Mr. Foy, who had worked hard and built up an excel lent paper, and had but a short while ago purchased the Western Sentinel, which was located in the burned building. Senator Paddock gives a very good reason for his opposition to the Force bill, when he says it is not de manded by any portion of the peo ple outside of the Republican party. Mr,Hoar should go over and re monstrate with Mr. Paddock. It took a good while to make an official count of the vote of Texas, but it has come off at last and shows votes for Hogg, Democrat, for Governor, and 73,343 for What-are-we-here-for Flanagan, Republi can.

Supposed to Have Begun in Wood in Some of the Tenders No Insur ance. The Raleigh News and Observer says it is not yet known how the fire in the round house of the Seaboard Air-Line R. R. Co. originated Sunday morning last, unless from an engine which went into the round house about 12 o'clock. and it is thought that some sparks from it might have fallen among the wood in some of the tenders and ignited it. All of the tenders of the seventeen engines were filled with wood and the sheeting of the roof was also 61 pine wood which ignited and burned rapidly. The burned building is not connected with the shops and is used only as a shelter for engines. One of the damaged engines belonged to the Egypt coal company. The amount of loss cannot yet be definitely ascertained but will pjbbably Up hftwpcn 40.000 and $50,000: Some of the engines were damaged tof the ex tent of $2,500 each, and it is thought that the average damage to each engine is about $1,500. 1 here was no insurance. The Raleigh & Gaston Company has telegraphed for and secured more en gines, and the regular traffic of the road will go on uninterrupteaiy. The building was thought to De en tirely hre proof. The wall in the rear was brick and the tront was iron ana wood. . . Good Tidings. A letter received here from Mr. Isaac Bates announces his safe arrival in Ire land, and indicates a decided improve ment in his health. He stood the ocean trip well, being entirely exempt from sea-sickness, though the members of his family who accompanied him were not quite so fortunate. No doubt is enter tained that a few weeks' sojourn "on is native heath" will effect a thorough and permanent restoration of health. Weather Forecasts.
