XLIX.---NO. 72. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat, Republican, rises to remark that 'the great want of the country at present in the matter of Con gressional action is non-interference with the tariff and the currency." This is also statesman Harrison's opinion. The reasons for this were quite as good two" years ago when the Republicans began tinkering wite the tariff as they are now. Now they have the tariff and the currency fixed up to suit them and they don't want any interference. Mr. Neidringhaus, of St. Louis, comes to the front to remark that "the manufacture of tin-plate in this country is an assured fact regardless of what Congress may do at any time in reference to'the duty." This being so what in the mischief do they want a duty for? Mr. McKin iey shouldn't -be forcing the tin- plate boys to take protection when they are big enough to protect themselves. The New York Age, owned and edited by colored men, propounds the following conundrum : "What benefit do Afro-Americans derive from the- operations of the high tariff system anyhow?" V: is too hard for us. Perhaps Bill McKiniey, whom those 30,000 colored votes in Ohio elected Governor, might wrestle with it.. Senator Farwell, of Illinois, still pursues Mr. Harrison with his scalp ing blade, and says if he be nomin ated the Republicans may as well surrender the Presidency without a fight. He further remarks that the only-hope of perpetuating Republi can rule is in the nomination of Blaine, who, he thinks, can be elect ed.

Davis Con tinued Another Warrant Issued. The case of false pretence against Mr. ohn C. Davis, a popular young lawyer of this city, was called for hearing by Justice R. H. Bunting, at 3 cclock yes terday afternoon, at his office on Second between Princess and Chesnut streets. Mr. Davis has had 'many friends, and hence an immense crowd gathered, all anxious to know the result of the arrest. Col. A. M. Waddell appeared in behalf of the State, and Messrs. John D. Bella my and Thos. W. Strange for the de fendant. The attorney for the prosecution stated that he had iust been called in and could not proceed until he had made an examination of all the matters connected with the case. The defence offered affidavit that "he verily believed that he could not obtain justice before his Honor Justice R. H. Bunting and asked that his case be removed for hearing before some other justice of the peace of New Hanover- couuty." where upon Justice Bunting set the case for hearing at 11 o'clock Tuesday morning before Honerable John T. Fowler, T. The witnesses present on behalf of the State were Mrs. E. J. Fanning, and her sister, Miss Way, Dr.T. F .Wood, David G. Worth and John Haar, Jr., Register of Deeds, with one of the Record books. Theie were no witnesses summoned for the defence. The defendant was taken by the Sheriff and kept in custody at his office until . after nine p. m., and many opportunities were given him to see different parties in order to secure bond, but upon failure he was committed to jail. The bond required in this case was $750.00, bui another warrant was issued later in the evening and placed in the hands of the sheriff to be served in case the defendant gave the bond in the first case. The bond in the second case was $500.00. A great deal of excitement prevails over the arrest of Mr. Davis, as he was a prominent member of Fifth Street M. E. Church South, of this citv. In 1889 he was a delegate to the In ternational Sunday School Convention that met in London ; and at that time he made an extended trip through the Old World. Soon after he returned he professed to make large donations of property and money to his church in order to build a new house of worship and provide the same with elegant chairs, a large organ, chimes and other articles of comfort and pleasure. He led the choir and organized a brass band and other orchestra tor fur nishing music for worship he securing the instruments for the same. He held several offices in the church, including those ot trustee, steward and superintendent of the Sunday School, as well as being a teacher of a large class of young ladies. All the donations he professed to make from his own personal means, ag gregated the sum of from $30,000 to $40,000. It was well known that Mr, Davis was a man of small means and many rumors began to float, until at last a committee was appointed by the church to investigate the matter, when it was found that the church was in debt over $30,000, after having been dedicated as free from all incumbrance Many persons, mostly widows; or phans and laborers, are reported as be ing sufferers at the hands of Mr. Davis, and claims estimated at $60,000 have been placed in the hands of other at torneys for collection. The principal question now asked about the streets is what has become of the enormous sum of money near $100,- 000. The Sheriff's officers in charge of the prisoner, say that he attempted to es cape while in their custody, and had reached the street door of the Court house when Deputy Sheriff Sheehan halted him and conducted him back to the Sheriff's office, from whence, a few minutes later, he was taken to jail.

Savannah Press: Mr. James Bar rett, of Richmond countv, has furnish ed to the Press an address adopted by the recent cotton growers' convention in Atlanta to the people of the cotton States. The circular declares that bank ruptcy is staring the cotton producer in the face, brought about by overproduc tion and contraction in all values. It calls upon all cotton exchanges to act with cotton growers. All transportation companies are urged not to receive cot ton unless it is well packed or fully cov ered; factors are called upon to take bet ter care of cotton. The circular does not call for reduction of the acreage be low the consumption of the world such a course would check consumption and stimulate the culture of cotton in other countries, which would bring about a re turn of low prices. N. Y. Bulletin: The market has acted very much of late as though Oper ators were both worked out and talked out. The first idea is suggested by the limited amount of trade accomplished and the latter by the absence of any thing really new in the theoretical posi tion of the opposing interests. The bear element has had the assistance of the large stocks of cotton at all points, with a liberal addition appearing at the ports during the week and nothing in the interior movement to indicate a se rious check to the amounts coming from the plantations while the actual con suming call, as indicated by a sifting of all reports, although fair, has not been full enough to afford an equitable com pensation for the amounts offering. The ruling price, however, and precedents of former years in matter ot shrinking supply have prevented much selling for a decline and failed to bring back the short interest eliminated at the close of last month.

ABER NATHY. Both Men Hit The Preacher Dangerously Wounded Public Sentiment in Favor of Mr. Abemathy Grimsley's Escape from Arrest. ' Special Star Telegram Greenville, N. C, Dec. 15. W. E. Grimsley, living near Snow Hill, in this county, who on the 8th inst. shot Rev. J. T. Abernathy for kissing his (Grimsley's) wife, made a second assault on Abernathy on the streets ot Snow Hill yesterday. Abernathy was on the street for the first time since being sfcot in the face with a gun. Grimsley saw him and with oaths began firing at him with a pistol. Abernathy drew a pistol and returned the fire. Abernathy was struck on the left cheek with a 36-calibre ball, which passed through and came out back of his neck. It is feared the wound will prove fatal. Grimsley was struck in the leg, but has fled and can not be found. The sentiment of the community in which these shootings have occurred is strongly on the side of Abernathy, who alleges that he only kissed Mrs. Grims- ey good-bye in a fatherly manner, as he was leaving her. The people do not believe there was the slightest criminal ity between them. Grimsley's father so expresses himself and declares his be- ief in the entire inhocency of Aberna thy and Mrs. Grimsley. There is great excitement in and around Snow Hill over the affair, and the indignation is so aroused against Grimsley as to provoke threats of ynchmg if he is caught. Warrants have been issued for Grimsley's arrest, and telegrams have been sent bv the sheriff ot Greene county to the sheriffs of surrounding counties to keep a look out for him. Bice Mill Test. A test of the new rice milling ma chinery recently put in Messrs. W. P. Oldham & Co.'s grist mill on Dock street was made yesterday, with grati fying results to parties interested. Rough rice weighing 4,273 pounds, yielded 2,948 pounds clean rice, 120 pounds of polish, and 478 pounds of douse; making a fraction over thirty pounds of clean rice per bushel turned out of excellent and beautiful quality. The exhibit is considered a most flatter ing one for the mill. A. F. & A. M. At the annual meeting of officers of Wilmington Lodge No. 319, A. F. & A.
