The British government proposes to prohibit British subjects from catching seals in tJennng sea, as preliminary to arbitration of tne dispute between that government and the United States. W. & J, M. Bent, shoe manufac turers, Massachusetts, have failed; lia bilities $150,000. -Judge Brecken- ridge, of St. Louis, Mo fell dead yes terday while addressing the Northern General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church. Another fight has taken place between the British and Portu gese in South Africa; the Portugese were defeated. becretary Blame is im proving. The Southern Presby terian General Assembly decided upon Hot Springs, Ark., as the place of meeting next year, s New -J New York markets: Money easy at 3 4 percent, closing offered at 3 percent; cotton easy; middling uplands 8 15-16 cents; middling Orleans cents; Southern flour dull; wheat stronger and moderately active; No. 2 red May- Si 12; corn opened firmer and closed lower and moderately active; No. 2, 65 67 cents at elevator; spirits turpentine quiet and steady at 3838 cents; rosin steady and quiet; strained, com mon to good, $1 60. The railroad commissions don't seem to have panned out satisfac torily in Florida and Tennessee, both of which have abolished them. There are a score or so of Repub licati patriots who are ready and willing to take Raum's place if he should be decapitated, of which, however, there is no imminent prob ability at present. That New Jersey Doctor who un dertook to restrain a sneezing fit the other day and in doing so 'broke a rib will try some other method next time. The sneeze that can't be sqneiched without breaking a rib'j must be pretty well equipped for business. Senator Wolcott thinks, consider ing the mental make up of Benj. Harrison he has made about as good a President as could be reasonably expected. When Mr. Wolcott was in Washington he didn't visit the White House often, nor remain long when he went. The latest from New Hampshire is that during a storm recently light ning entered a hen roost, and cut the tails of twenty hens, which so aston ished the rooster which superintend ed the establishment that he has been as dumb as ex-Senator Blair since he heard that China wouldn't have him as minister. The City Treasurer of Philadelphia got away with $750,000 of the city's funds, and then concluded it was about time to resign. The citizens of the town are disposed to be thankful that he didn't wait tilj he made it a round million. In treasury-looting accomplishments, these Republican officials generally excel. It is said that Hon. John G. Car lisle is indtbted,?in a great measure, for the strong hold he has on the peopJe of Kentucky to his popular wife, and that John Young Brown, the Democratic nominee for Govern or, owes his nomination to his fascin ating daughter, who is a power among the Kentuckians. This may be, but there must be the right kind of stuff in the men that can come to the front with such wives and such daughters. John G. Carlisle dem onstrated that long ago, and John Young Brown did, also, when as a Congressman in the 41st Congress he peeled the hide off Ben Butler. A couple of sharpers at Omaha, Neb., played a bold trick on the denizens of that burg a few days ago. They advertised that the Chi cago air ship would scoot around the fair grounds, ascend into the heavens, and as an additional at traction there would be a mid-air wedding, all to be witnessed for the small sum of 25 cents. About 5000 burgers hastened out, deposited their little quarters with the man at the gate, and waked patiently for the exhibition to come off. But while they waited the gate man and the other fellow who was running the thing with him, went off, took the 5000 quarters off with them, and since then nothing has been heard from them or the air ship, though a good many of the duped sovereigns have been heard to make peculiar remarks in the Omaha language. That experimental artesian wel near Wheeling, West Virginia, has reached a depth of 4,500 feet. It is the intention to sink -it 1,300 feet deeper. There is a well on the in sane asylum grounds at St. Louis. which was sunk twenty years ago to a depth of 4,200 feet in the effort to get pure water. Although various kinds of water were found, salt, fresh and mineral, at that depjh, when the work was abandoned, the water was as salt as sea water NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Star Office Babbitt Metal.

NINO- WILMINGTON, N. C., FRIDAY, FIRE ON FRONT STREET. In a Business Block Damage Estimated at About $40,0007110 Insurance, Etc Fire was discovered yesterday morn ing about six o'clock in the large three story brick and iron building on North Front between Market and Princess streets, owned by Mr. Don MacRae and occupied by Mr. S. H. Fishblate and Messrs. F. Rheinstein & Co., Messrs, Holmes & Watters, and the Knights of Pythias. - The fire was discovered by a - news paper carrier, whose attention, was at tracted by dense volumes of smoke issuing from the rear of the building, and who called a policeman's attention to the matter. An alarm was quickly given and brought the Fire Department to the scene. The smoke was so dense that it was a matter of impossibility to locate the fire; the interior of the whole building seemed to be enveloped Six lines of hose were run out and the fire was attacked both in front and rear and in a very short space of time the fire was subdued. It was then discovered that the fire had originated on the flooi oc cupied by Mr. S. H. Fishblate's clothing establishment in the tailoring depart ment, separated from the store by a partition and that the flames had as cended thence to the third floor, where the stairway was burned through. The damage to the building will not exceed $1,200, upon which there is no insurance. Mr. Fishblate estimates that his stock of goods was worth $35,000. On this there was insurance for $24,000, divided as follows: With Smith & Boatwright, $3,000 in Liverpool, London & Globe, $2,500 in American Insurance; with Hodges & Taylor, $1,500 in North" American, $2,000 in Lancashire, $2,500 in Germania, $3,000 in London & Lan cashire, $2,500 in Royal, $2,000 in West chester, $2,500 in Georgia Home; with Dr. W. W. Harriss. $2,500 in Western. Messrs. F. Rheinstein & Co.'s loss is roughly estimated at from $35,000 to $40,000, entirely by water. It is cover ed, however, by insurance in the follow ing companies: With Messrs. Smith & Boatwright: $5,000 each in Hamburg- Bremen, Scottish Union, American and Liverpool, London & Globe, on stock, and $3,000 on building in Liverpool, London & Globe; with Atkinson & Manning: $5,000 in Phoenix, of Brook lyn; $4,000 in Imperial; $7,500 in Con necticut; $1,000 in City of London; $2,500 in Queen; $2,500 in North Brit ish, on stock; with Messrs. Hodges & Taylor; $9,000 in Home, of New York; $2,500 in Phcenix, ot Hartford; $3,000 in North American; $3,500 in Germania; $2,500 in Underwriters'; $4,500 in Lon don Assurance; $2,500 each in London & Lancashire, Royal and Pennsylvania; on building, $2,500 in Phcenix; with Mr. M. S. Willard: $2,500 each, in Niagara and Carolina, and $1,250 each in Guardian and Sun, on stock. Part of the basement of the building was occupied by Messrs. Holmes & Watters as a warehouse for groceries and part by Rheinstein & Co. for storage of domestics, etc. Messrs. Holmes & Watters had insurance with Messrs. At kinson & Manning for $1,000 in the Im perial and $1,000 in the City of London. They estimate their loss at about half the amount of insurance. The Knights of Pythias hall on the third floor was considerably damaged by smoke and water and the carpeting was ruined, l here was insurance on the furniture, etc., for $900, with Messrs. Hodges & Taylor in the Georgia Home. The firemen did good work and de serve credit for saving the building and its contents. They have been criticised for a too lavish use of water, but the problem for them when they tackled the fire, which had been burning for hours, probably, and had gained great headway, was whether fire or water should have the mastery, and it was quickly settled. That good judgment was exercised in the mattei was shown by the shutting-off of the water before the fire was finally subdued and bring- ng a fire-extinguisher into use to com plete the work. New Bailway Connection for the C. F. & Y. V. It is stated that General Manager, Averill, of the Charleston, Sumter & Northern railroad, has gone to Greens boro to arrange with the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley railroad officers for an interchange of business at Bennettsville C, as soon as the C, S. & N. road is open to that point.
