The Chicago Inter-Ocean, Rep.,

that be so they are doubtless making

A Missouri editor informs his

The Chicago Inter-Ocean, Rep.,
remarks that tariff campaigning is

It is estimated that the farmers of

An Omaha coroner's jury decided
that a negro who was lynched "died
from fright." Considering the fact
that he was found at the end of a

frightened.
Samuel J. Tilden was considered
to be pretty considerable ot a lawyer

Chairman Neal of the Ohio Dem

American builders of locomotive

an idiot. No one has ever disputed
that tin-plate could be made in this

it be made in this cpuntry at a rea

Mr. McKmley lemarked in a
speech recently that if Governor
Campbell wanted to find out who
paid the tax on Canadian wheat
which competed with the wheat
grown by American farmers, let him
go to Buffalo and ask the Canadian
farmer who sends his wheat to
American markets. But Governor
Campbell was loaded and produced
from the official reports from the
surveyor of customs for Buffalo,
that there were imported at that
point last year just three bushels of
Canadian wheat and that was im
ported by a farmer for seed.

night, -received its - christening
last night by the committee ap
pointed especially for that purpose.
The immortal nomenclature is "Chai-rkte-pantes,"

OPERA HOUSE.
Thef' Brothers Count Primo and Baron
Ernest Magri.
These diminutive little gentlemen
were born at Bologna, in Italy; their
parents were of the ordinary size. There
has been of the family, altogether, 13
children three diminutive and ten tall.
The eldest of the three little people was
a girl, called Amalia; she died 14 years
ago, at the age of 24 years; she was
several inches smaller than the two
brothers. The brothers, Primo and
Ernest Magri, are descendants of a no
ble family. Count Primo is 36 years of
age, 37 inches in height, and weighs 50
pounds. The brother, Baron Ernest
Magri, is 38 years of age, 38 inches in
height, and 54 pounds in weight. The
two little gentlemen have been inspect
ed by the best medical faculty in Bo
logna, Torino, Milan, Naples and Paris,
and pronounced to be the most intelli
gent, active, symmetrically-formed men
in miniature on the face of the globe.
They will appear at the entertainment
given by Mrs. Gen. Tom Thumb and her
Company, Friday and Saturday. At the
matinee Saturday there will no doubt
be the largest crowd of children ever
seen in our Opera House.
Violation of Seotion 20 Bevenue Law of
1891.
Justice R. H. Bunting bad two cases
before him yesterday for violation of
Section 20 of the Revenue law of North
Carolina, 1891. The first case was
against a white man, K. .. reete,
charged with "enlarging likenesses of
the human- face" without taking out
license.
His attorney, A. J. Marshall, Esq.,
plead in. defence, first, that defendant
only solicited orders, and did not do
the work; and, secondly, that this part
of the act was unconstitutional, as in
fringing the inter-State commerce law
of the United States. Both of these
were overruled, and the defendant was
bound over to appear belore the Crimi
nal Court.
The second case was against Perry C.
Murray, another white man, charged
with the same offence., Herbert Mc
Clammy, Esq.. represented the defend
ant and asked a continuance until 10
o'clock this morning, which was grant
ed. His plea will likely be the same as
in the first case..

The Bevival.
The series of meetings held with the
Advent Baptist church are largely at
tended by serious congregations and
interest is decidedly increasing. Elder
John E. King preaches close to sinners
and with marked effect. He has been
absent from the city for a num
ber of years and his people greet him
back to his old pulpit with cordial
warmth, affirming that he has lost none
of his old-time power and persuasive
ness. These meetings will continue un
til further notice, and all are earnestly
invited to attend them.
Winter Travel South.
The Atlantic Coast Line railroads are
preparing lor a heavy winter travel,
there is every reason to believe that the
travel of this season will exceed that ot
last year, which was far cbove the aver
age, l he convention ot rauroaa super
intendents recently held in New York
decided to run sufficient trains to ac
commodate as heavy.a travel as can posj
sibly be expected.
The same programme as that of last
year will be carried into effect this sea
son, beginning onNovember 15th.
Waived Examination.
J. Norton, charged with embezzle
ment, was again brought before Justice
R. H. Bunting yesterday. The State

ation and in default of bail was com
mitted to await the action of the grand

venes on the!6th of November.
United States Court;
Next Monday, 1st November, the
United States Court for the Eastern
District of North Carolina will be held
in this city with a remarkably small
docket, either on the criminal or civil
side. The former contains only six cases
and the latter two. The enlargement of
the minimum amount requisite for giv
ing the court jurisdiction to $2,000
about precludes all civil business.
The Nova Scotia Storm.

Boston Commercial Bulletin: The
enormous receipts of cotton, exceeding
as they tio those of last year, have
caused cotton to decline and have also
raised the question, if the expected
shortage of the crop as compared with
the preceding, will be realized. The
receipts last week were half a million
bales, or thirty per cent, more than the
corresponding week last year. There
does not however, appear to be any
thing in the situation to modify previ
ous estimates.
Last year after bringing his cotton to
the gin the farmer took a portion of it
to market and held back the rest o n the
plantation partly because the roads, par
ticularly in the Carolinas, Georgif and
Alabama, were so bad as to make' haul
ing difficult and partly because he look
ed for higher prices. This year not only
are the roads in good condition to in
duce transportation but financial neces
sity compels the farmer to sell his cot
ton as soon as possible. Thus while !
even from the beginning of the season
last year there was a surplus of cotton
left on the plantations, this year there is
no such reserve to draw from, and this
will be felt in the smaller volume of la
ter receipts. The weather has been very
favorable for picking and this swells the
present movement. j
Again, there will bp no top crop this
year. Last season fully a million bales
were picked after the usual time of
ceasing to gather cotton. This year
the dry weathec in September caused
the plant to ripen and stopped its
growth, so that practically all the cotton J
that will be produced is now open. It
is believed that November will see the
virtual end of -the picking this year,
while in the last crop it extended into
January, Then also as factors affecting
the yield, the acreage is a little less than
in 1890 and the stand not so good.
Estimates from reliable sources do not
much, if any, exceed 7,500,000 bales,
though some more sanguine talk of
7.750,000 bales. So that in general the
statement that the crop will fall a mil
lion bales short of last year's yield,
8,650,000 bales, is practically accepted.
Northern spinners have been buy
ing again quite freely but the present
advance has checked purchases. The
quality of the crop continues high.
Middling is only now beginning to be
offered from the Atlantic States ; here
tofore Texas has supplied about all of
this grade that came to market. The
great bulk of the receipts are still of
grades above middling. Middling up
land can be landed at about 8 cents.
This does not look so cheap as the eight
cent cotton of last August but it is
really so, as the cotton has more intrin
sic value than the old blue and dingy
cotton that sold at that price two or
three months ago.
Upper grades of cotton are about one
cent per pound lower than they were
last October. While these prices are
not particularly remunerative to the
farmer they will average considerably
better than last year, owing to the high
er grade of the crop. The size of the
yield is fully ample to supply all con
sumptive requirements. The surplus
carried over into this year, was 650,000
bales in excess of that of a year ago,
while owing to the industrial and agri
cultural depression in Europe as well as
the continued unsettlement in parts of
South America, .the consumption of
cotton will hardly equal that of the year
1890-91. The mills believe cotton cheap
enough in the neighborhood of 8
cents for middling upland, but have no
great faith in the necessity of paying
more.
Broken Leg and Ankle.
James Sadgwar, a colored stevedore,
had his leg and ankle broken by a bale
of cotton falling on it, as he was loading
a vessel at the Champion Compress yes
terday morning.. He was carried home,
his broken limb was set. and he was
resting comfortably at last account. -
