The Border Alliance met at Danville. Va., and resolved to establish an anti-trust cigarette factory. The Senate pass ed the Copyright bill, and debated the bill for payment of claims arising from Indian depredations. In the House there was a long debate on the Ship ping bill, Silver Coinage, Cleveland, etc. The "Baltimore sugar refinery turn ed out its first sugar yesterday. President Harrison left Washington 17 1 l . . . Sherman's funeral.. Jno. L. Sulli van had an encounter with a negro waiter at a hotel in Richmond.

New York markets: Money easy at 2 $3 per cent., closing offered at per cent; cotton weak; middling up lands 9 cents; middling Orleans 9 7-16 cents; southern flour dull and weak; wheat, unsettled and dull; No. 2 red $1 10! 11 at elevator; corn higher and fairlv active; No. 2, 64 cents at elevator; rosin steady and quiet; strained, com mon to good, $1 421 47; spirits turpentine cents. dull and nominal at 40 It is said that President Harrison and family will in May make a tour of the Pacific Coast States as the guests of Senator Stanford, who will toot the bill. The farmers of Georgia use 300, (X'O tons of bought fertilizers annu ally. That means a pretty big hunk of cash taken out ofathe proceeds of I he cotton crop. General Butler announces himself in favor of the free coinage of silver. Unless Butler has been very much misrepresented he always had a weakness for silver. There is a bill before the Legisla ture of Illinois to limit the mayoral ty of that city to one term. One term as mayor in that town is about as much as any virtuous citizen can stand. Mrs. Rider Haggard and Mrs. Henry Stanley express the opinion that American women keep their houses too warm. Some of them doubtless keep them too warm for their husbands. The Boston Courant, organ of the colored population of Boston, thinks if Mr. Harrison would do the square thing he would appoint a colored man Secretary of the Treasury, as without the colored vote he never would have been elected. Gen. Sherman will be buried to day by the side of his wife, who died m 1S8S, cn Calvary (Catholic) ceme tery, in the northern suburbs of St. Louis, overlooking the Mississippi river. It is one of the most beauti ful cemeteries in this country. One of the most accommodating villains we have heard offor some time is in jail now in New York. He was accommodating enough to kill a glazier named Goldschmidt be cause he had a dispute about pay for work done in the saloon of his friend Koenigsberger. It is not known whether Mr. Blaine has any views on the silver question or not. He is too busy with his re ciprocity business now to talk much about silver. In the meantime it is safe to conclude, however, that he keeps one eye, at least, on the big dollar. The colored Republicans of Pitts burg have met and resoluted against Senator Cameron for failing to sup port the Force bill.' But as the colored solons are an unknown quan tity in the Pennsylvania Legislature Mr. Cameron is not tearing his hair much over this choleric colored demonstration. Wm. Jennings Bryan, elected to Congress from Nebraska, must be a hustler. He is about thirty years old, had no money, ran his own cam paign, and turned the plurality of 3,400 which his opponent received in 1888 into a plurality ot o,uv ior .. n e himself. A man like that must have some get-up and grit in him. r VOL. XLYII. NO. 127. The Philadelphia Times comment ing uppn the defeat of the Force bill, speaks of Senator Gorman as a "leader of leaders." Mr. Gorman is not only eminently level headed but cool headed -in proportion. It is said that when he sees a point and starts for it at a Critical time, if he discovered that a colony of yellow jadkets had located in the rear of his trousers he wouldn't pay them the slightest attention till he had gone for that point and disposed of it. An ex-convict of the Louisiana penitentiary is lifting the hair of some of the gullible people North, by teMing that in one parish of that State there are 500 rrfcgroes still held in slavery, who never heard of the emancipa tion proclamation. This was proba bly one of Bro. Shepard's correspon dents who kept the New York Mail and Express posted on southern mat ters. The story that Henry Stanley had donated all his gifts from European crowned heads, estimated at $500, 000 in value, to help Mr. Booth along in his efforts to better the con- dition of the poor of London, is de- nied by him. It he had denied it at first, it would have saved a lot of nice puffing the newspapers gave him. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Notice Lantern pictures. J. D. Nutt bed-bug interceptic. Opera House John L.

Late in the afternoon the party was again sent out of the city. Wm.

Sullivan and Dunoan B. Harri son in "Honest Hearts and "Willing Hanas." Mr. John L. Sullivan, though widely known as a pugilist, has so recently be come an actor as to lead us to produce the following criticism from the Phila delphia North American, concerning his appearance in that city: 'John L. Sullivan, the champion pugi list, made his first appearance in this city a5 n legitimate actor at the People's Theatre last night in Duncan B. Harri son's sensational drama called "Honest Hearts and Willing Hands," and taking into consideration the limited time ne had to prepare himself for his new ae he acauitted himself mostcred itnhlv. His Dart, that of a young Irish blacksmith, suits him to a dot, and as the author wisely furnished him with no long and tedious speeches, there is no tax made on his declamatory abilities. But he delivered the lines that belong to the part with an ease and a naturalness that were surprising, and if he were to be judged simply upon -his performance last nlgnt witnou, auy c r .... .

Taylor, two colored men arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the recent rob bery at Messrs. Chestnut & Barrentine's store, were brought before Mayor Fowler, yesterday for preliminary exam ination. The evidence against each' was alto gether circumstantial. Richmond, it was shown, was in the store Monday afternoon and asked permission to go up-stairs to speak to Calvin Gummer, a colored man employed by the firm. Permission was given and he went up, stayed about twenty minutes, came down and walked out. Gummer said that Richmond did not appear to have any particular business on hand when he came upstalr9 ; was in the habit of visiting him X3w;asionally at the store. The measurement of the tracks of the robber agreed exactly with the-measurement of Richmond's shoes. The evidence against Taylor was that he was present in the office with Gum mer when Mr. Barrentine brought the money from the store, and showed it to Taylor before putting it in the safe, with some jocular remark about beating Tay lor's employer in the day's business. Mr. Barrentine then told Gummer to lock the safe and give him the key, which he (Barrentine) put in the drawer of the desk, locked it and closed the store for the night, Gummer and Taylor going out of thc-' front door just ahead of him. At the close of the hearing the Mayor discharged Taylor and held Richmond in default of $100 bond until Monday to await further developments. ABNORMAL WEATHER. The Warmest on Becord for this Season of the Year A Cold "Wave Coming. t or the past two or three days the weather has been altogether summer like, the maximum temperature, as re corded at the Signal office here ranging from 70 to 803. A cold wave was pre dicted yesterday, however, with notifi cation that the temperature will fall to about 38 by 8 o'clock this morning. A special bulletin issued yesterdry from the Weather Bureau at Washing ton, reports that last Tuesday was the warmest on record for this season of the year, in Maryland, the District of Col umbia, Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia. The following are some of the maximum temperatures with their relation to the highest previously re corded, during the second decade of February, viz : Baltimore, 74 3 2 above ; Washington, 74 1 above ; Lynchburg, TV 1 above ; Raleigh, 76 5 above , Chattanooga, 76 2 above ; Atlanta, 76 1 above. The temperature has been over 20 above the average over the past two days, and yesterday morn ing was from 20 to 30 above ; the great est departure being at Washington City, where at 8 a. m. the temperature was 66, or 33 above the mean. But a de cided cold wave will occur over the At lantic States from the Carolinas to Maine by Thursday morning. The Art of Advertising. A Nebraska editor who evidently knows a thing or two has this to say on the art of advertising : Advertising seems to be an art yet to be discovered by some people. That is, the practical part of it. A constant stream of water from one or more fire engines will soon extinguish or get un der control a vecy large fire, while a few buckets of water, dashed on here and there, have little-or no effect. The mod- ern fire department is practical, and has outgrown the old bucket system; and so with modern advertising plenty of it, d in a practiCal, common sense and - dicious manneff ays.

Death of Capt. T. J. Southerland. Capt. Thomas J. Southerland, one of Wilmington's best known and most pop ular citizens, died at his residence here yesterday mornings after an illness of a few weeks' duration, in the 49th year of his age. He had been a resident of Wil mington since his boyhood, and at the outbreak of the war enlisted in Bunting's i uuiuiwo. ui - Artillery, and before its Close had I & ' ... - risen to the command ot the company, then known as boutnenana oaitery Company I, Tenth Artillery, and was conspicuous in many hard-fought en gagements. After the war he engaged in the livery-stable business in Wilming ton, and conducted it with great success. He leaves a wife and a large family of children, to mourn the loss of a devoted husband and indulgent father. His funeral is announced to take place this afternoon at 4 o'clock from St. James' Chnrch.,,, Stedman park. . Sale of Lots by Auction Yesterday. About two hundred persons visited Wrightsville yesterday, going down by train on the Seacoast railroad to attend the sale of lots at Stedman Park. The sale was conducted by Messrs. Cronly & Morris, auctioneers, and the thirty-three lots brought $10,855. The four lots fronting on "the water, each 75 feet front and running back from 185 to 254 feet, were sold to, Messrs..
