The coroner's verdict in the railroad
disaster at Statesville censures the rail
road company, but finds that the wreck
was caused by some miscreant removing
a rail. The Governor of Tennes
see, m his message to the Legislature, re
commends the purchase of coal lands
and the erection of . a penitentiary
thereon ; with a view to working the
mines with convict labor. Anoth er
serious railroad disaster in Switzerland
is reported. Mayor Grant; of New
York, yesterday 'made a personal exami
nation ot the ruins at Park Place in that
city, and discovered the bodies of two
men. John Wilkinson and his wife,
an aged couple, were brutally tortured
and murdered by . two , tramps, near
-Monroe, Mich.; the tramps were; pur
sued and shot to death-by. a posse of
citizens. The mutilated bodies of
a German farmer, and his" wife were
found in a well at Bloomfield, Conn.; it
is snpposed they were murdered ' by a
tramp. The Empress of Austria is
thought to be insane. The rumor
that the Bank of England has been rob
bed of a large sum of money is denied."

A Lewiston, Maine, policeman has
had two hotel keepers arrested on a
charge of offering him $200 a month

inference from this is that the Lewis

The cable dispatches from Iquique,
Chili, indicate that Balmaceda got
away pretty quick after the surren

fixed to go into the refugee business.
Mr. Harrison slipped through New
York on his return to Cape May, but
he couldn't give the argus-eyed and

Elliott.
It is said that if Mr. Cleveland
be elected President, he has Senator
McPherson, of New Jersey, slated
for Secretary of the Treasury. It is
hinted, by the way, that Mr. Mc

self, and wouldn't object to the Pern
ocratic party giving him a jnrhack at
it. - .;
The sea serpent has been seen

STRANGE OCCURRENCE.
A Colored Man Peppered with Duck Shot
by Some Person Unknown.
Charles Walker, a young colored man,
living on Princess between Tenth and
Eleventh streets, is laid up with a load
of duck shot in his head and arm. The
story told is that Sunday morning, be
tween nine and ten o'clock. Walker
went into the back-yard of the
house where he lives and just
as he stepped off the porch,
a gun was fired from a vacant lot ad
joining the premises, the whole load
striking Walker in the head and arm.
The lot from which the gun was fired is
covered with weeds and bushes, afford
ing a good place for concealment of the
person who fired the shot. The place
was searched soon afterwards but no
one could be found. . -
The shot were all extracted by a phy
sician who was called in to attend the
wounded man, and no "serious results
are likely to ensue.
A Dead Goose. ' !
While the draymen's procession was
passing along South Water street yes
terday afternoon between Dock and
Water streets they ran into a small flock
of geese, and one luckless gander was
run over and killed. A policeman took
charge of the "bird," and Mr. Schmid
who witnessed the occurrence, reported
the matter to the Society for the Pre
vention of Cruelty to Animals, who said
he would look into the matter.

.-' -:v . . i . .v.:V.: Fire. . . . ;" ' " , .V
The fire early -Sunday morning in
Messrs. Taylor & Humphrey's store on
North Water street was a stubborn one.
It was discovered by the police officer-
on the beat about half-past; two o'clock
and it was daylight before the fire was
finally extinguished. It broke out from
some unexplained cause on the second
or third floor of the building. ' "
The damage to the building is 'esti
mated at $1,000 or $1,500 and on it there
is insurance for $2,000, with Mr. M. S.
Willardt! in the Northern" Assurance
Company of London. It is owned by
the heirs pi Mrs. M. A. Curtis, of HUls
boro, sister of Dr. A, J.DeRosset, of this
city. j
Messrs. Taylor & Humphrey esti
mate the value ot their stock at $4,300
or $4,400. On this they had insurance for
$3,000 $1,000 with Messrs Hodges &'
Taylor, of the London Assurance Cor
poration; and $2,000 with Dr. W. W.
Harriss, ! equally divided between the
Western and the New York Bowery
Companies.
The stock olgroceries in Messrs, Glay

ed building on the South, was slightly
damaged by water.
TO IMPROVE THE SERVICE.
Post master General Wannainaker Solicits
the Co-operation of Postmasters.
Postmaster General Wanaamaker has
issued a circular to postmasters at the
seat of each county, in which he says: .
The great desire I have to improve
the postal service leads me to ask your
assistance in a plan to acquaint the de
partment with the condition of each
postoffice in the United States. .
I am asking the postmasters at each
county seat to visit each postoffice with
in the county in which he lives to gath
er the information indicated by certain
questions enclosed.
I must explain to you that the depart
ment has no means at its disposal to
meet any expense, and that your work
must be your voluntary offering for the
good of the postal service, and it will be
so recorded on the docket of your office
in this department.
If we can all become better officials,
the country will quickly feel the effect
of the improved service however much
we have done, there are none who can
not do still better. It is my purpose to
find out and help each man who wants
his own town or neighborhood to have
better postal facilities.
Complimentary German.
A complimentary German has been
.tendered the L'Ariso Club by Professor
Miller's Band. The german will take
place at Carolina Beach on Wednesday
jiight next, and will be governed ex
clusively by the L' Arioso German Club.
Judging by the entertainments this club
has been giving since its organization,
which was about the year 1876, all
$rho participate will doubtless enjoy the
occasion no little.
