Jerry Simpson, of Kansas, scouts the idea of gold being a mo.iev standard when there "isn't enough of it in the world to-fill the decayed teeth of humanity." That holiday experiment panned flit all right in : Buenos Ayres, and the impending panic was averted N'ow let the statesmen in other coun tries catch on to;this cute dodge. The Republican organs claim credit for Harrison's administration because it pays .the interest on the public debt. Perhaps these organs think the administration is entitled to credit because it don't pocket the interest. : There are about a dozen promi nent Republican citizens of Califor nia who seem to be quite anxious to wear the Senatorial shoes of the late Senator Hearst. At present it is a sort of sweepstakes entry, with the chances in favor of the fellow who can put up the beggist pile. Lead ore is ssid to exist in Wilcox county, Alabama. The fact was known fifty or seventy-five years ago, the Indians, many of whom inhabit ed that section, using it to make bul lets with which they shot game. But they never could be prevailed upon to tell where they got it, and the locality has never yet been discov ered. The man who perpetrated the bald-faced fake on Spain about this country playing to annexCuba, and got her to tearing her hair about jt ought to be put on the stool of cor rection for fifty day. - This country might be willing to take Cnba in if she was particularly anx ious to come, but is'nt throwing out any grappling hooks. That Mississippi sheriff who had a warrant for the arrest of Sullivan and Kilrain when they entered that State to have! their pugilistic mill out, who pocketed the warrant and presumably some cash," mounted a fence and enjoyed the pounding, got tired of Mississippi and recently lit out with $2,000 of- the people's money. Served them right tor not bouncing him; when he proved so unfit for the position which he held. Col. Shepard, of the New York Mail and Express, never lets an op portunity escape to support the opinion expressed by his father-in-law, Commodore Vanderbilt, that he was "more kirids of a fool than any man he ever knew." There was atrial recently before one of the New York justices in which' he was interested and he was fool enough to write the justice a note expressing the hope that he "would see justice done in this case." The justice con strued it as an attempt to unduly in fluence him, and from the bench gave the editorial ass a judicial walloping. JIBE VOL. XLVII.--NO. 144. An accident recently occurred in tunnel on the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, in which six persons lost their lives. The coro ner's jury rendered a verdict holding the officers and directors of the road responsible for the accident, and the coroner ordered their arrest on a charge of homicide. He issued war rants for the arrest of Chauncey M. Depew, George N. Miller, Nelson G. Hunt, Joseph Park and William Rockefeller, five of the directors, who when they learned that the warrants were issued went to the coroner's office- and surrendered themselves. Each was p.ut under a bond of $25,000 and released. Per haps if they get to snapping up those high in authority ,the number of railroad accidents may be some what reduced. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

The roof of Mr. Henry Sholar's house, on Second between Nun and Church streets, caught fire on the roof yesterday forenoon. The fire was ex tinguished soon after it was discovered and the damage was slight. Some of the new members of Wilmington s. F. E.

The alarm of fire turned in last night from the Wilmington Compress at 12:30 was caused by a fire on a flat loaded with wood, lying outside of a schooner at Chadbourn's mill. It was put out before the engines arrived, although the department turned out promptly. Bad boys whe steal newspapers from the premises of our subscribers are admonished to cease their evil ways be fore they get into the clutches of the law. The name of one guilty party has already been given to the Mayor and handed in to this office, and it is hoped that all good citizens will extend their aid towards breaking up this rascality. The "Atlantic" engine broke down last night at the fire one of the cams in the steam cylinder-giving way, with 80 pounds of steam and 160 pounds water pressure, after running three quarters of an hour very smoothly. The accident is supposed to have been caused by the too-quick application of the shut off nozzle. m Mary, Queen of Scots. ' Although the greater part of Wil mington was out of doors last night looking at the burning school house, still, a large number of grown people assembled at the Library rooms to listen to and see the illustrated lecture on Mary, Queen of Scots. This lecture seems to have touched the popular heart, for the gathering was more numerous and the interest seemed greater than at any previous lecture, except--that on Stanley in Africa. The views and pho tographic tableaux were excellent, the poetical quotations well chosen and har moniously rendered, and the whole lec ture fine throughout. WILMINGTON, N.C., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11, 1891. DISASTROUS FIRE. Union School House Burned Loss Estd- mated at $12,000 to $13,000-Insu-ranoe $9,600. The Union School House building, on Ann street, between Fifth and Sixth streets, was destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon. The fire was first discovered by persons on the street, near the chim ney on the east wing of the building just below the roof. An alarm was sent in that brought the Fire Department speed-ily-to the spot, but in the meantime the flames had made considerable headway, and dense volumes of smoke were pour ing from under the roof on all sides of the main building and even from the west wing. The firemen had lines of hose stretch ed in short order rfom fire-plugs in the neigborhood, hut the pressure in the maini-was-not sufficient to force the stream over the tops of the windows of the second floor. This caused another delay until steam pressure could be got ten up on the fire engines, and by the time these got fairly to work it was too late the building was doomed. Flames burst from under the roof all over the building and" the fire raged with redoubled fury until the entire structure was enveloped, and the fire men could do little beyond saving adja cent property from destruction. Some of the houses in the neighbor hood caught on fire from sparks and cinders, but the fire was extinguished without damage to the property. The fire is supposed to have been caused by a defective flue, and had probably been burning several hours before it was discovered. Many ot the pupils of the school were present soon after the fire broke out and worked manfully to save the books and furniture. A great deal was removed from the building, but by far the larger part of the furnfture was destroyed Some of the boys ran close risks, and one of them was on the upper floor of the building when the roof fell in, but escaped by leaping from a window, and fortunately sustained no injury. Two or three of the firemen who had mount ed to the roof of the building, also had narrow escapes. The building and furniture were val ued at about $13,000, upon which there was insurance, on the building for $7,500, and on furniture for $2,100, divided among the following companies: In the Liverpool, London & Globe, $2,400, with Messrs. Smith & Boat wright; $2,400 in the London & Lanca shire, Messrs. Hodges & Taylor; $2,400 with Messrs. Atkinson & Manning; $1,200 in the Northern, and $1,200 in the Carolina, with Mr. M. S. Willard. The building was erected by the County Commissioners in 1886, Mr. Jas. F. Post, contractor. It was constructed of the best material well-seasoned pine and in the most substantial manner, with double floors, wide stair-ways and abundant means of ventilation. The main building was 80 by 50 feet and the wings on the east and west sides 27 by 24 leet each, two stories in height, with a pitch of 16 and 13 feet. There were 400 pupils enrolled, under the general supervision of Prof. Noble, and the corps of teachers was as follows: Miss Nellie Cook, principal; Miss Mag gie Jones, Miss E. Meares, MissBettie Anderson, Miss Annie Moore, Miss Bes sie Taylor, Miss Mollie Hawes, Miss A. Meares, Mrs. Carrie Moffitt, assist ants. The school committee, in. conjunction with the Board of Education, will at once take steps to rebuild, and when it is remembered that the school authori ties in New. Hanover county have the interest of the children so much at heart, the public may be assured that a handsome new building will soon re place the burned structure. In the meantime, steps will be taken to resume the duties of the school next Monday morning. The public will be duly ad vised as to where the school will be opened. Bev.

Ex-Minister Smyth": "Wants a Colored Commissioner Appointed. John H. Smyth, colored, ex-Minister for the U-. S. to Liberia, and a former"! resident of Wilmington, has written a letter to President Harrison on the subject of the appointment of a colored person to represent the negro race at the World's Columbian Exposition. Smyth, after referring to the passage of the bill providing for the exposition, which, he says, is to consist of the in dustrial, agricultural, scientific and art productions of the men and women of the United States, points out that no provision is madje in the bill for such separate display of the intellectual and physical acquisitions of the negro citizens as will show that they, as such, have done anything on the lines indicated. The exposi tion, he says, cannot carry out and make good the purpose of the national display without the distinctive repre sentation of all the people of this com posite nation. The greatness, the glory, the grandeur of this nation, he argues, is as much the pride of the Am erican negro as it is ofthe American white man, and for the President to fail tojappoint a colored man torepresent the negro race at the exposition would seem to be an intentional insult offered to 8, 000,000 loyal negro Americans. Smyth therefore asks that an officer of the ex position, of the negro race, be appointed, and that a place be made in the exposi tion for the display of the negro in dustry, agricultural products, art and scientific achievement, inventive genius and educational development.
