The Christian Reformer is going to move from Philadelphia to Pittsburg. As a field for the reformer Pittsburg presents a fine opening. Miss Annie Abbott, the "Georgia magnet," is exciting the wonder of the Londoners. She has magnetism enough in her to draw about 800 a week, clear cash, out of them. It is said that the area of country in Russia affected by the famine is about half as large as the area of the United States, and that a very low estimate puts the population at 4,000,000. - A new industry has been started on Puget Sound, where a company has been organized-for the propo gation of black cats. This is one of the industries thatis willing to take its chances without a protective tar iff. King Milan,-of Servia, who abdi cated his throne, is having a good deal more fun than he could in play ing King. It is said that he has traded off any claims that he might have on it for $360,000, which sup plies him with pocket money. A married woman in Ohio has sued a girl for $5000 for running away with her husband. It would puzzle an Ohio jury to fix a value on a man like that and say how much the wife was; damaged in losing him. As the girl, however, is rich the jury may conclude that she ought to pay for her amusement. The corn cob pipe is not as aris tocratic as the meerschaum, but it is quite popular. There are three manu factories engaged in turning them out, one in St. Louis, one in Ne braska-and one in Kansas, the out put of the- three being about ten thousand Dines a day. The cobs used come Xrom Missouri. Prince JussopofF, of Russia, who lias recently died, . was worth $250, 000,000, and said to be the richest man in Russia. By the Russian law his wealth goes to his daughter's husband, who was a poor lieutenant when she marriejl him.' He is prob ably of the opinion that marriage is not a failure. i The meanest man in America is in New York. He is a cloak-maker and had a girl in his employ arrested and locked up for twenty-four hours in the Tombs on a charge of stealing ten cents worth of dress lining. It appears that the girl was ironing a cloak, picked up a piece of cloth from the floor and made an iron holder out of it. And that's what that soulless creature had her arrest ed and sent to the Tombs for. They have got railroad travelling down to a pretty fine point in France, where the deaths from accidents from 1875 to 1880 were only one . to every 24,000,000 passengers, and of wound ed only one to every 1,000,000. In other European countries it is. con siderably greater, while in this coun try where we rush things, take more chances and value human life less, the proportion of deaths was between 1881 and 1888, one killed to every 2,800,000 and one wounded to every 428,000.

The Court House Crowded Many Ladies m Attendance Able Speeches by Coun sel Col. Rowland to Speak This Morn ingThe Case Probably will ro to the Jury To-Day. V Special Star "'Report '. Fayetteville, Nov.; 26. Notwith standing the fearful inclemency of the day, the Court house has been crowded from 10 o'clock on into the night, many business men (whose stores and offices were closed for Thanksgiving), sitting through the whole day's proceedings. Mr. N. A. McLean, of Lumberton, a very strong advocate before a jury led off for the prosecution, carefully and ably recapitulating the-evidence, and evincing throughout his whole ; able effort the close study which he has given to all the points in this remarkable case. Mr. McLean closely resembles, in bis manner of speech, his bearing in the Court room, and-his directness of pur. pose, his late lamented father, and his friends think him even a stronger man. The first speech on the side of the de fence was made by ex-Judge MacRae, and was one of the most masterly of the efforts which have given him so high a position in his profession. The clearness with which he . seized upon the weak points in the case con structed by the prosecution, and his skillful sifting of the wheat from the suberabundant chaff in the mass of tes timony adduced, was attended through out with breathless interest by every au ditor in the densely packed building. Judge MacKae was loitowea Dy I no. D. Shaw, Jr., of Laurinburg, also of counsel for the defence, who com menced his argument at a late hour in to-day's session, and will conclude to morrow morning. Court adiourned until to-morrow. Friday, Nov. 27. Mr. I no. D.-Shaw, Jr., continued his address to the jury. The association which he has enioyed throughout his yet brief professional life has, of course, been beneficent and most salutary enjoying the counsel and the rich fruitage of the wisdom and ex perience of his gifted father and his carriage at the bar and his force before a jury attest how thoroughly he has mas tered the duties of his profession. There is much of the orator in this tal ented young lawyer, and portions of his speech were given with a depth of im passioned feeling which thrilled the lis tener. Mr. W. H. Neal, of Laurinburg, came next ior the prosecution, briefly allud ing to bis connection with the case as counsel for the New York Mutual Life Insurance Company, in which he vindi cated his position (which had been al luded to by counsel on the other side) with a touch of humor and trenchant sarcasm, showing him master of all the weapons of defence against the attack. His argument was based on three pro positions: That Simeon Conoley was killed bv a man wearing a disguise; that D. A. McDougald was that disguised man; that a strong motive existed for the commission of the crime. The last proposition, however, he touched upon but brief!, leaving that -important fea ture of the case for elaboration by Hon. Alfred Rowland and Solicitor McNeill. Mr. Neal's speech has been much com plimented by all who .heard it. The last argument of this morning's session was from Capt. W. S. Norment, of Lumberton, for the defence. He very forcibly and, earnestly discussed the question of motive the absolute cer tainty that so fearful and cold-blooded an assassination must have had a most powerful motive, and arguing the lack of such motive in the prisoner, from all the evidence and the whole life of the defendant. He adverted to the remark able fact that the family of Conoley those of all others interested in the de tection of the murderer and his punish mentwere not found grouped behind the prosecution, but were ranged on the side of the defence. That partof his address, in allusion to the aged and in firm Effie Conoley, was truly eloquent and pathetic. The Court then adiourned for dinner. '"Special Star Telegram. afternoon session. Col. French, of Lumberton, made a strong speech for the defence. He took up the testimony in detail,which seem ed at his tongue's end, and step by step he recapitulated it, with comments on the evidence of each witness for the State. Before Mr. French's argument was concluded night came and Sheriff Smith had the gas lighted. Still the crowd sat and stood on men and women swayed by the emotions of the im passioned speaker, moved with the depth of his feeling and partaking of his earnestness. The excoriation of the prosecution at times was scathing. The speech consumed the session till 7 o'clock to-night. One side of the court room was filled with ladies. Col. Rowland opens in the morning. The matter will probably go to the jury some time to-morrow forenoon. , Both yesterday and to-day many of the best ladies in Fayetteville society were in attendance on the trial, remain ing nearly through the whole session. Sweet Charity. Collections taken up in the First Pres byterian Church during Thanksgiving service Thursday, are very creditable in amount and denote the existence ; of warm, benevolent- hearts in the con gregation. It is more blessed to give "than receive. V The collections were as follows For Presbyterian Orphanage. . . .$119 50 Oxford Orphange. . ..... ... 22 50 Baptist " 2 00 N,C. Soldiers' Home..:....... 5 00 Total., .$149 00 Spot cotton was dull in New York yesterday; middling quoted at cents. . THE FINANCIAL SITUATION. Depositors of the Suspended First Ha tional Bank Reassured Business Flow : ing Smoothly-Other Banks Stronfomd Serene. . .. .There, have been no new develop ments in the situation regarding the af fairs of the suspended First National Bank. Bank Examiner Isaac S. Alden arrived Thursday night and has already gone to. work looking into the matter. but of course has nothing to communi cate to the public at this time. - Depositors have been strengthened in their confidence that they will receive not only the full amount of their de posits, but, as the law provides if the assets are sufficient, interest on. deposits wiirbe paid from the time of suspension at six per cent., they expect this addi tion to the principal. There has been no jar, jolt or hitch in the transaction of general business, and the failure of the bank will work em barrassment only by locking up the de posits for awhile. At the Bank of New Hanover everything is moving along as it nothing . had happened in deed, the deposits show a large net increase daily and faith in its im pregnable strength and financial in tegrity has never been shaken in the least. Many capitalists and some of the strongest banks in the country have offered any aid desired, but none -has been required. All the clerks are busy as bees attending to the additional business caused by the number of new customers who transacted their business with the unfortunate bank. The banking facilities of the commu nity have not been curtailed, andsuffi- cient accommodation is extended by the other banks. The suspension, as has been stated in the Star, was not un foreseen by well-informed business men and thus robbed the failure of serious results. The Wilmington Savings and Trust Company has not been affected at all injuriously, as more money has been received than withdrawn, This bank has also been the recipient of very en couraging offers of assistance, but it has not been heeded. Again, to repeat, there is nothing dis couraging in the financial situation. WELCOME WEEK PARADE. Merchants and Others 'Who Will Have Floats in the Trades Display. The following firms and establish ments have handed in their names to Mr. Jas. T. Post, Jr., the chairman of the Executive Committee, to furnish one float in the Trades Parade, viz: McNair" & , Pearsall, Carolina Central Railroad, C. C. Covington & Co., J. A. Springer, A. Sprunt & Son, C W. Yates, bneed & Co., Taylor's Bazaar, M. M. Katz & Son, Holmes, & Watters, Boney & Harper, W. E. Springer & Co., Geo. R. French & Son, J. C. Stevenson & Taylor, J. D. Nutt, P. H.

The following will have two floats each'viz : Gleaves Hardware Co., Geo. L.. Morton, Robert Portner Brewing Co. The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad will have three floats. Those who have not sent their names in thus far will do well to send them in to-morrow, as they will get a better place in the parade. The McDougald Trial. To-day is the last day of the present term of Cumberland Superior Court, at Fayetteville, which has been almost ex clusively occupied with the trial of Mc Dougald for the murder of Conolev. Three speeches will be made to-day. Hon, Alfred Rowland will begin for the prosecution, td be followed by Maj. Jno D. Shaw for the prisoner and the Solici tor. Frank McNeill, will close for the State. Public opinion here is very much di vided as to the result of the trial, some believing it will be a mistrial, others thinking the prisoner will be acquitted, while i others still look for conviction If the jury have not agreed by 12 p. m. or a juror be not withdrawn and a mis trial made, the Tudge must continue the case over into next week under the statute, it being a capital felony. A Generous Offer. A leading citizen of Baltimore, identi fied largely with Wilmington, and many times a millionaire, : telegraphed the Bank of New Hanover, yesterday, offer ing assistance to any extent that might be deemed necessary. But, while the officers of the bank feel very gratefu for this and other tenders of aid, they are gratified at the fact that its own re sources are ample to meet any emer gency that might arise. .. , See other local on fourth page. WHOLE NO. 7,768 THE JUBILEE. The Executive Commitee Meet and do Their Final Furbishina; and Polishing Everything Beady for Visitors. The Executive Committee met last night, wijh Mr. S. H.- Fishblate in the chair, in the absence of Major T. D. Love, and Mr. G. G. Lewis secretary. Mr. J. A. Taylor, for the Finance Com mittee, reported the amount collected, which was sufficient for all purposes. Mr. J. F. Post, Jr.. for the Parade" Committee, said there" would be fifty three, and perhaps more, floats in the Trades parade; he had ordered five gross of the torches, which would ar rive Monday; that the A. C. L. shops would be represented; the work of build ing floats was going on all over the city. He had appointed the Chief Marshal, and together they had appointed effi cient assistants. Mr. Lewis said he was told by Mr. J. S. Collins that he felt sure of about forty maskers in the carnival, and a sufficiency of masks had been ordered. Mr. C. H. Robinson, for the Com mittee on Music, thought everything -kwould be right with the , music if the Second Regiment Band had fifteen dol- ars more to assist in entertaining the Southport band, and for hire of con veyances. There will be twelve con certs given"by that band, the Germania and the Southport bands, and they will furnish music at all parades, &c, and at the stand on market square every afternoon. Mr. S. H. Fishblate said the arch at Front and Princess streets would be completed to-day and the unseemly flags would be removed. Front street and Market ' would be decorated and flags would be placed on Fourth street bridge, if possible. Mr. Berry Gleaves, for the Amuse ment Committee, considered that all read the published programme and he had nothing to ad"d. A letter was read from Mr. Henry Glover, Division Passenger Agent of the Seaboard Air Line, stating that his line bad been posted with bills and he thought a large crowd wouldjbe present, Mr. Fishblate had heard everybody in Sampson county was coming. Mr. Gleaves moved that the Chair man of the Transportation Committee, Mr. W. E. Springer, be instructed to see the authorities of the various rail roads leading into the city and request that trains be run out as late as 11 or 12 p. m. every night during the week. Car ried. The Seaboard Air Line will run such trains, it was stated by Mr. Lewis. Mr. Gleaves announced that the Amusement Committee would meet to night. . Mr. Post wanted all who have not done so, to turn in their names if they expect to have floats. The committee then adjourned until Monday night. METHODIST CONFERENCE Held with the Churcn at Greenville A Grand Gathering and .Large Attendance. Greeenville Daily Reflector Wednesday night of the Conference was devoted to Church Extension. Dr. Nash presided over the meeting. Prayer by Father Wheeler. Dr. J. C. Morris, of Louisville, Ky., Secretary of the Board, was then introduced by Dr. Nash. It was an exceedingly fine ad dress, interspersedwith just enough wit, humor and pathos to rivet the attention of the very large audience present. The Doctor knows how to get hold of an au dience, as was evidenced by what fol lowed. He stated that Dr. Marsh, from this State, was preaching in Monterey, Mexico, in a verv inferior house, and he wanted this Conference to give him five hundred dollars to build him a church, and that the Board would see that this house was built if the Conference would do this. In a few moments the Confer ence raised eight hundred dollars for this purpose. This greatly pleased every body interested in the work, and espe cially Dr." Morris. SECOND DAY." Conference was called to order by the Bishop at 9 o'clock. Devotional exer cises conducted by Rev. W. S. Chaffin. The hour for service having arrived the Conference work was suspended and after a few minutes recess and the intro ductory, services Bishop Galloway de livered a very able sermon from the text : "Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesars ; and unto God the things that are God's." It was a grand Thanksgiving sermon, abound ing. in deepest wisdom and delighted all who heard him. The building was filled to its utmost capacity. At the same hour Rev. Dr. B. F. Bixon, President of Greensboro Female College, preached in the Baptist Church Collections for the orphans were taken in both churches at the close of the ser mons. .. The various committees met for their resnective work in the afternoon. Last night Dr. J. R. Brooks, of the Western N. C. Conference, preached an -excellent sermon ,to a large congrega tion. Conference meets again this morn ing at 9 o'clock. " PENCIL SURVEYS. ' Perhaps the-handsomest man in the Conference is Rev. R. C. Beaman, of Fifth Street Church, Wilmington, but his good looks do not sooil him, as he has preaching ability as well,: and his people love him. He rises last. You have probably noticed that other large man, with a sandy . beard on his chin. His name is F. A. Bishop. He has the name but not the office. He is in favor of Main Street, Durham. - He is a fearless worker and when he laughs he makes you feel good too. RATES OF ADVERTISING.

" - A FAMILY POISONED. r Eating Hogshead Cheese and Pork Sausage Benders Six Persons Extreme- ; iy hi. . - ' ' . --r ' , Mrs. Jeffreys, residing on the corner of --: Ninth and Wooster streets, her two sons, Manly and Jimmie, aged respec tively 20 and 14 years, and her daughter, aged ten years, were seriously sickened Thursday from eating hogshead cheese, as was also Willie Green, a son of Willie " Jones, who partook of the same cheese. Annie Green, daughter of Daniel Green, of 1.006 South Front street, was rendered dangerously ill the same day ' by eating pork sausage. The two sons of Mrs. Jeffreys went out hunting in the morning, after parta king of the cheese for breakfast, and soon began to feel very painful cramps, ; which obliged them to desist from the hunt and endeavour to make their way homeward. By dint of great exertion and with mueh suffering, they finally reached home to find their mother and little sister prostrated in the same way. Dr. W. Hall was called in shortly af ter noon and found Mrs. Jeffreys, her two-boys and a little girl and the Jones' boy all suffering intensely, vomiting and purging, and nearly pulseless. The mother, however, was not so sick as the others. The Doctor who gave these facts to a Star reporter, says the symp toms were those of an irritant poison whiich yielded to his remedies and all were able to be up yesterday. Dr. Hall traced the cause of the se- v. vere ailments to hogshead cheese, pur chased at the corner of Eighth and Wooster streets, of which the family had eaten, and which he found upon examination to be badly decomposed. Yesterday Dr. Hall called to see Annie Green, who had eaten pork sausage the day before. She had the appearance of a dying person so entirely overcome was she. Her suffering was similar in charac ter to the others, and she was no better at 3 p. m. yesterday. He did not see , the pork, but the serious result which followed eating pork sausage that was decomposed did not appear until a day or two had elapsed. Fine Sport in Bain. Notwithstanding Jupiter Pluvius frowned unpropitiously on knights of the chase and ambitious youths of Nim- rodic proclivities, some fine bags were exhibited at the end of the day's sport along the line of the W., O. & E. C. R. R., Thanksgiving Day. The train left the depot at nine o'clock with Mr. T. Poe conductor, and Mr. Phillip Piatt engineer, and about 200 merry huntsmen on board. The entire run was made in about two hours. Among the number who brought back large bags of game were Mr. W. L.
