Count Von Moltke died suddenly, just after taking supper. Soldiers - of the United States garrison at Walla Walla. Washington, took a prisoner lrom the jail at that place and riddled him with bullets. The grand jury at New Orleans, La., investigating the lynching affair, have found indictments against two parties for attempting to bnbe the jury in the Hennessey murder trial. Five robbers raided the town of Attala, Ala., and had a fight with a posse of citizens; a citizen and one of the robbers were fatally injured, and the rest of the gang captured. Web ster Jackson was hanged yesterday for a murder committed in Missouri in 1886. . The coal mine troubles in Tennes see have been settled, the men signing an agreement for the year.

For the nine months ending March 31 nearly 40,000 Italians landed in this country, and still they come. The editor of the New York Sun don't like pet names. This is prob ably the reason why he never calls Grover Cleveland by pet names. The statement that Italy is nego tiating a loan of $500,000,000 lires is pronounced to be the invention of liars who had no authority for it. They are presenting Mr. Harrison with lots of flowers in California. Next to talk flowers are the cheap est things produced in California. The physicians of Japan do not seem to have got at the true inward ness of the cholera yet. Although there are 40,000 doctors in that country, out of 45,000 people who were attacked by cholera, 31,000 died. The world's stock of champagne is estimated at 110,250,000 bottles. As there are something over 62,000,000 of us over here this wont give us two bottles apiece. Somebody will have to go short unless we fall back on Jersey cider. England bought from the United States in 1889 $477,000,000 worth of produce, mainly food supplies, crude products and raw materials, and yet the McKinley tariffites have done all they could to break up this trade and compel England to look elsewhere for her supplies. Now that Senator Edmunds has retired froai the Senate Vermont ought to' pension him, for if he hadn't insisted on a bounty to ma ple sugar as a condition of his sup port of the McKinley bill, she would be minus the $250,000 a year more less which she counts on raking in from that bounty. The young Emperor of Germany will probably suspect Bismarck of building the following conundrum which is now on the run in Berlin. "What is the difference between God Almighty and the Emperor." The answer to which is "God knows everything; the Emperor also but much better." Congressman McMillian, of Ten nessee, has been practicing his math ematics on the billion dollar appro priation by the last Congress, and finds that it amounts to $16 a min ute for all the time since the declar ation of independence, and $60 for every hour since the beginning of the Christian era. When you tackle billion to get thetrue inwardness of it, you must take it to pieces and grapple with it m sections. According to reports from the grain growing sections of this coun try the prospects for large crops this year are good. If the McKinley tariff were not damaging the pros pect of foreign trade there might be something encouraging in the out look to the farmer. But' if the grain crop in Europe prove as short as it is anticipated there may be a de mand for a considerable part of the surplus in spite of the McKinley tariff. -IL JEJLJild VOL. XLVnL-NO. 30 Another difficulty confronts Italy in that. New Orleans "massacre" business. Those "Italian subjects" had so many names that it isn't easy to identify them. The names they wore in this country were different from the names they went by at home, so it isn't quite certain from a legal stand point whether the citi zens of New Orleans who slew Giovanni Stiletto, the Mafia, for in stance, also slew Guiseppe Poniard, the Italian subject refugee from jus tice. In this case the Italian Consul thinks the family of Guiseppe Poniard would have difficulty in claiming indemnity for the killing of Giovanni Stiletto, but still the coroner was not accommodating enough to change the names on the certificates of death as recorded in his office to obviate this little diffi culty. The New York Sun says that in vestigations and analysis by chemists show that the temperance drinks used in Maine knock the spots out- of beer, wine and alcoholic bever ages in producing Bright's disease, which is becoming such a common ailment these days, but it does not appear that it is a more common complaint in Maine than elsewhere. But perhaps the Maine man is not afflicted with a liver and kidneys. The Boston Post remarks that "something is obviously rotten in the British army," which is probably one of the effects of too much con tact with the British aristocracy. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

Threejnegro men confined in the coun ty jail in this city formed a plot to escape from that institution, but the plot was discovered and the escape pre vented by "the Jailor, Mr. W. W. King, through information given by a white sailor named Tom Ray, whom the ne groes tried to induce to join them in their break for liberty. Their plan was to "throw sand in the eyes" of the jailor, from a bucket of this article which is kept in the cage where they are con fined, and while the jailor was blinded, to dash past him, lock him in the cell and make their escape from the build ing. Information of the intended attempt to escape was given Jailor King several days ago, and he was, consequently, on the lookout for anything that might happen, and was particularly on his guard against the three negroes alleged to be in the plot Jim Veney, Mack Mc Kay and Will Bowden the first-named awaiting trial for assault and battery with a deadly weapon, and the other two for larceny. Yesterday evening at 8 o'clock, when Jailor King was about to enter the cage to lock the prisoners in their sep arate cells for the night, he saw three negroes in the cell nearest the door of the cage. He immediately covered them with his revolver and ordered them out. Realizing that their plot was discovered they obeyed the order, and after handcuffs were placed upon them and each was in his cell they admitted that they had determined to put their plans for escape into execution yester day evening. Jailor King displayed commendable coolness and promptness in the emer gency, m sa n SUNDAY SERVICES. Divine Services in St. James' Church to-day at 11 a. m. and 6 p. m. Sunday School at 4.30 p. m.

Resolutions Adopted by the New Han over Confederate Veterans. New Hanover Confederate Vete ran Association, April 25th, 1891. Whereas, our comrades elsewhere are testifying their esteem of General Joseph E. Johnston, recently deceased, and deeming such action eminently ap propriate, therefore, be it resolved by our Association : 1. That in the death of Gen. John ston the whole country, without regard to sections, laments his death, as a soldier who was the soul' of honor and gallantry, and a citizen true to every trust. 2. That as a strategist and skillful commander he was of the first grade, and his, masterly retreat before Gen. Sherman's army and his battle at Ben tonsville mark him for all time as a prominent general of history. 3. That his personal bravery was at all times conspicuous, and he was scrupu lously vigilant and zealous of his honor as a man and soldier. 4. That these resolutions be spread upon our minutes and published in our city papers., Major T. D. Love, Commander. Capt. O. A. Wiggins, Capt. W. S. Warrock, Committee. Wm. Blanks, Secretary.
