Illustrated journalism in this coun try, says an exchange, pwes its origin to Samuel Gleason, who in 1851 was making" $50,0(30 a year out of the business, but is now an' inmate of the Old Men's Home in Bos ton. This also illustrates that illustrated journalism has its upsand downs. A Maryland and New Jersey syn dicate have bought a 32,000-acre plantation below New Orleans where they propose to engage in the grow ing of oranges and bananas. The oranges are all right, but the bananas may be the cause of many a man's downfall.

Wilwaukee, Wis., wants the Na tional Democratic Convention. Mil waukee is a nice town. She makes a fair quality of beer and has an ample stretch of lake front.

Russell Sage is said to be an ab stemious man who don't believe in spending much money in high living, but when the other boys in Wall street give a lay-out and invite him to it he lays in enough to lasttiim for three days. Some of the papers note the fact that inmates of penitentiaries are singularly exempt from the grip, al though justice has a grip" on Jem. From this it would seem that the grip has sufficient self-respect to keep out of the penitentiary. Joseph W. Bailey, of Texas, the youngest member in the House of Representatives, is 28 years old, and ot strikingly fine face and presence. When on the campaign his oratory was so captivating that farmers fol lowed him from place to place to hear him speak. Mr. R. C. Piatt is on the sick list.

Wilson, chairman of the Railroad Commission, was greatly pleased with his trip to Onslow, and was much impressed with the future of that county. The question of oyster culture was of special interest to him, as was the fertility of the land. So well satisfied is he with the oyster outlook that he will become a stockholder in one otthe'eompanies recently organized for the propagation of the "luscious bi valve."

A- special dispatch to the Morning,, Star, from Elizabethtown, Bladen county, N. C, says that James Johnson, (colored), was hanged there yesterday in public, for the murder of Florence button, a colored girl about ten years of age, in August last. The drop fell at exactly 12 o'clock. noon, ana in twenty-nve minutes, tne doctors present pronounced Johnson dead. Fully three thousand people, white and colored, witnessed the execu tion, and everybody, especially the col ored people, approved his sentence and the punishment he received for the brutal crime he committed. Johnson smoked his cigar as he rode to the place of execution on his coffin, ascended the gallows without a tremor, and deliberately chewed tobacco as his funeral was preached. He then made a statement, protesting his innocence, placed his hands and feet in position and died withqut manifesting any dread. He confessed his crime when arrested and immediately after his committal; and only denied it on the gallows. HISTORY OF THE CRIME. The story of the crime is soon told. Johnson lived in the same neighborhood with the girl's parents, and on the even ing of Sunday, August 2d, 1891, while at her mother's house gave the,child money to go to a neighbor, some distance away, and buy a quart of cider. Soon after he left the house; met the girl on her return and after criminally assaulting her. strangled her to death. The child not returning home, search was insti tuted, in which Johnston ioined; but no trace of the missing girl could be found until the Monday following, when par ties who had suspected Johnson, track ed him after a hard rain that had fallen Sunday night, and discovered the dead body of the child buried near the scene of the tragedy. Search was at once made for Johnson, but he had made good his escape, and .it was not until the next day (Tuesday) that he was arrested by Mr. Frank D. Parker, at Newsom, some distance above Park ersburg. Mr. Parker saw Johnson pass his place that morning, and thinking that he looked very much like the man wanted he pursued and caught him. Johnson at first denied that he was the man wanted, but afterward said he was, and made confession of the crime in all its horrible details. He made it fully and voluntarily, and alter it was written out signed it in the presence of F. D. Parker. J. P., and others. He also im plicated the lather of the child in the crime. Threats of lynching were freely indulged in at Parkersburg, but were not carried out. The prisoner was taken to Bladen and placed under a strong guard. He made another confession to Justice Shaw, im plicating not only the father'of his vic tim, but another negro, as having-known of the crime one Lawson Bryant by name. Johnson was arraigned before Justices W. I. Shaw and Jas.. N. Corbett, and af ter hearing the charge against him read, the defendant's plea was "guilty." Be fore entering judgment the court made a thorough investigation of the implied charges against Albert Sutton and Law son Bryant, but found nothing against them and they were discharged. Johnson was then placed in the cus tody of an officer, and under strong guard was sent .to Elizabethtown jail. His trial followed some weeks after wards, and he was convicted and sen tenced to be hanged. Begular Monthly Meeting Beports Committees Petitions, Etc. The Board of Aldermen met last night in adjourned session with Mayor Ricaud presiding, and the following Aldermen present: Fowler, Thomas, Post. Fishblate, Nixon, Bell and Willis. The clerk, W. A. Willson, read the minutes of the preceding meeting, which were approved. Mr. Jas. F. Post, Jr., Chairman of the Fire Committee, recommended . that Mr. R. C. Orrell's claim for one hundred and twenty-five dollars for a horse which died while in the city's service, should be paid. Alderman Fishblate, of the Streets and Wharves Committee, reported pro gress in regard to a petition sent in by citizens against the Seacoast road not complying with their contract as to spur tracks on Tenth street. Alderman Fishblate, "of the Pound Committee, stated that he and other members of the committee had two sites in view, in good places, but which one to take had not been decided upon. The other committees reported pro gress in matters in their charge. Dr. Potter's report was then read, showing only 35 deaths the past month; 16 of which were whites and 19 colored. Two of which were still-born and one suicide, being smaller than the same month in the six preced ing years. He recommends that the city have more thorough drainage and cleanliness. Chief Martin Newman's report showed only three alarms of fire the last month; one false alarm and two small fires. He recommends that the citizens have their chimneys inspected and placed in good order, as many fires are caused from de fective flues and chimneys. He recom mended, also, that an ordinance be passed making it a misdemeanor for any unauthorized person to send in more than one alarm for a fire; instancing several occasions when alarms had been repeated unnecessarily, causing excite ment and great apprehension. The re port was referred to the committee with instructions to report an ordinance as recommended. The following petitions were placed before the Board and disposed of : Petition of Carolina Central Railroad Company, signed by the General Mana ger, John C. Winder, for permission to lav a track on the extreme west side of Nutt street about 300 yards long. It was referred to the Streets and Wharves committee to report at the next meeting of the Board. ; Mr. J. J. Hawes, petition for a reduc tion in rent of beef stall in the new mar ket. Referred to Market committee. A petition signed by about twenty fruit dealers, not to allow vendors to sell fruit around the streets or any fruit ves sel to sell under five hundred oranges to any person. Referred to the Finance Committee to report at the next regular meeting. The Banniker Hose Reel Company, petition for one of the old "Adrian" en gine horses. Referred to the Fire Com mittee. Mr. Jones appeared before the Board and asked for an appropriation for an industrial "write-up" of the city. After some discussion it was referred to the Finance Committee. - Mr. Fishblate stated that he thought a "write-up" unnecessary at present and if one was needed there were enough printing offices and talent in this city to do it. There being no further business the Board then adjourned. Receipts of cotton at Wilmington yesterday were 1,276 bales; same date last year, 508. Receipts for the week, 11,436 against 7,412 bales for same time last year. Receipts for the crop year, 118,081, against 134,125 to same date last year. Futures in New York yesterday opened one or two points lower than the closing prices of the day before and closed at a further decline. December opened at 7.73 and closed at 7,68; Jan uary, 7.83 and closed at 7.80; March, 8.14 and closed at 8.12. Statistician Sheppersory is a verita table bear. After estimating the crop of 1890-'91, including what remained in interior and upon plantations, at 8.900, 000 bales, he says : "The general out look for the present season cannot be regarded as indicating that the spinners of the world will be likely to buy more cotton than during the season of 1890-'91." Florence, S. C, Times: The mar kets of the world are gorged, the supply in sight is immense, all of last year's surplus has to be carried over to swell this year's stock on hand. We have had poor crops here, but our cotton is only a drop in the bucket compared with the immense yield of the Mississippi Valley and the Texas prairies. Sell your cot ton, pay your debts, and if you start with nothing else, next year you will at least start with a clear conscience. Charleston Bice Market. The Charleston rice market is said to be "not as bright" as it ordinarily is at this season. Although the local de mand for rice is very good the prices are lower, by a half a cent a pound, than they were last season at this time, tt is hoped that the January prices will be more satisfactory to both sellers and planters. Up to last Saturday the rice move ments in Charleston were as follows: Receipts this year 419.067, last year 454.376. Pounded 168.689, last year 267,465. Stock on hand 250,378, last year 186.911. Notwithstanding the small crop low prices have prevailed during the entire season. The weakness of the market is accounted for by the large stor.k of for eign rice now in America. It is thought that the small stock of domestic rice will eventually command better prices than at present.

No statement of the. firm's lia bilities and assets could be obtained, but -both are believed to be large, as the Messrs. Caldwell carried on an extensive business, having branch stores at Blands and Hampton, in Samp son county.

The Charlotte News mentions a ru mor current in that city that Rev. Geo. R. Stuart, well-known as Rev. Sam. P. "Jones' assistant had died at Bristol, Tenn., from an attack of typhoid dysen- . tery. . Mr. Stuart assisted Mr. Jones in the meetings held in Wilmington a short time ago and was held in the highest esteem by many, of our people. They will rejoice to know that the report of his death was incorrect, as is shown by . a telegram to the Raleigh Chronicle from Bristol, Tenn., which says: "Rev. George Stuart, of this place, died to- -day. He was not Rev. George R. Stuart." - NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

Citizens Endorse and Continue the Execu tive Committee. There was a large and enthusiastic meeting of representative business men of the city of Wilmington held last night in the Mayor's office at the City Hall, to endorse the action of the Ex- ecutive Committee or tne welcome Week. Uoon motion. Mr. R. M. Mclntire was called to the chair and Mr. Walker Taylor was requested to act as secretary. On motion of Mr. J. H. Watters, a re solution was adopted, endorsing the Executive Committee, as it now stands, and that the Welcome Week be consid ered as permanent. It .was decided, also, that the first week m December should be the time fixed for holding the annual festivities of Wilmington's Wel come Week. Handsomely Said. y Mr. H. A. London, editor of the Pitts boro Record, who was "a reporter on the spot," thus handsomely refers to our W. W. W.: "Wilmington Welcome Week was a grand success in every particular. The weather was favorable, the number of visitors was immense, and the entertain ments and amusements provided for them were enjoyed to the utmost. The display of fireworks on Wednesday night was pronounced by many to have been the most beautiful and attractive ever seen in the South. The trades' display on Thursday night was the largest and best ever seen in this State. It consist ed of about sixty floats, all very attrac tively designed and illuminated, and the procession was so long that it took over half an hour to pass any point. Never had so many persons visited Wilming ton, every train on every road being crowded, and with many it was their first visit to their State's chief city. We predict, however, that it will not be their last." Lucky Young Man. A bright young man of Mecklenburg county has just celebrated his 21st an niversary. His mother's present was a handsome gold watch, "as a reward for his having - reached manhood's state without ever having used an oath, taken a drink of whiskey or a chew of tobac co." Lucky boy! Now, suppose, in stead of being a rural rooster, he had been a denizen of Charlotte, holding a responsible position on the Chronicle or News? In lieu of a watch be would have been presented with a twenty-five cent bible and the latest edition of Sam Jones's sermons. forecasts for Weather Forecasts. The following are the to-day : For Virginia, for Saturday, generally fair weather, slightly colder, north twinds, probably followed by light rain on Saturday night or Sunday. For North Carolina, fair weather in north portion, showers in south por- I h tion, northeast winds, cooler in west portion, stationary temperature in east ern portion. v For South Carolina and East Florida, showers, northeast winds, slight change in temperature.

Dancing was kept up until an early hour this morn ing. , The hall was very neatly decorated add the members of thecompany ap peared in new uniforms. About- fifty couples were present. The Receivership. Under the new regulations, it seems, the Receivership of a National bank is not such a "fat" office as. has generally been supposed. Instead of a commis sion, as formerly, a salary is now paid which is about equal to that of a bank cashier. If this information, which was given a Star reporter, is correct, tbe Receivership of the First National bank of this city will probably not be worth more than two thousand dollars per year. It seems to be the impression that Mr. W. S. O'B. Robinson, of Golds boro, will "receive terday at 8 l-16c for middling. The Sportsman's Paradise.
