He now offers to fast for thirty days and conclude the performance by swal lowing poison enough to kill forty men. Representative Mills has chosen a seat in the rear of the House. This will not prevent Mr. Mills from coming to the front. But Mills is big enough to show up from any part of the House. A Republican contemporary boasts that cur foreign trade has increased more than 82,000,000 in one year under the McKinley law, but forgets to state what part the famine in Russia has played m this increase in our foreign trade. According to London cable dis patches from Chili the press of that country is unanimous in charging the trouble between this country and Chili to the conduct of Minister Egan. Minister Egan would be a very good man to call home. If Hon. Wm. L. Wilson accepts the Presidency of the Richmond, Va., College, to which he has been elected, the college will gain one of- the most brilliant men in this coun try and Congress will lose one of its "ablest and best equipped members. Irving Crabbe, editor of the Or lando, Florida, Record, is so anxious to be Governor of that State, that he announces himself as an indepen dent candidate... He is not so inde pendent, however, that he will not do some pretty loud begging for sup port. Somebody has discovered that Mr Blaine has semi-paralysis of the throat, which will prevent him from addressing the Mercantile Associa tion of Boston in January. Perhaps this also prevents him from writing that letter declining o be a candi date for the Presidency. It is said that the young lady who is to be married to Prince Albert's son, familiarly known as "Collars and Cuffs," has all the "cardinal vir- tues." She also has considerable cash which was quite as important a consideration jwith the young man as the cardinal virtues. Mr. John P. Richardson, the largest individual cotton "planter in the world, with the exception of the Khe dive of Egypt, who died near New Orleans last Monday, was a North Carolinian, born in Rockingham county. He was not only a great cotton grower but a great manufac turer, manufacturing all the cotton he raised, and utilizing everything about the plant that could be utilized, thus getting all the profit there was in it. try TribLlJUQ It. 1. VOL. XLIX.---NO. 73. Chairman Clarkson thinks it would be a good idea for the Republicans to run Senator Sherman for Presi dent on a financial platform,' and thus relegate the tariff question to the rear, but as the Democrats will have something to say about that Chair man Clarkson will find that pro gramme not so easy to carry out, even if the Republicans were willing to try their luck with John Sher man. There is nothing petty in Senator Pettigrew's liberality when he pro poses to give the G. A. R. a $500,000 jay out when it meets at Washing ton.

Charlotte Chronicle : The reporter learned yesterday that there is to be a change in management of the Air Line and C. C. & A. divisions of the R. & D. Capt. Jno. Dodson will become superin tendent of the Air Line, and Cecil Bob bitt, lormerly superintendent, of the Georgia Central, " will succeed Capt. Dodson as superintendent of the C. C.& A. The Macon Telegraph has at last located Cecil Bobbitt as superintendent of the South Carolina division of the Richmond & Danville. The report put him in charge Dec. 15. He will succeed Supt. Dodson, whose removal has been rife for some time. One prominent offi cial puts it that the present berth for Mr. Bobbitt is only to serve as a step ping stone to something real high. As it is he will have, control of about 500 miles of railway, and among the most important in the Richmond & Danville system. Columbia State: The Richmond and Danville railroad's master mechanic on Saturday evening, when the men stopped work, held a conference with the various foremen, and as a result the head of one employe out of every thir ty-five was cut off. Orders have also been received from headquarters to change the regular daily freight on the Columbia and Greenville roaa to a in weekly, running on Mondays, Wednes days and Thursdays. In railroad cir cles now there is a great dearth of busi ness, as has been shown by the last re port of the earnings of all roads, and this is merely the carrying out of the plan recently ? outlined by Superinten dent Dodson, as having been adopted by the management. A New Purchase. The purchase of the Wilmington, Chadbourn & Conway Railroad by the Atlantic Coast Line was confirmed yes terday by the Board of Directors of the latter. - The new road connects with the W., C. & A.

TURPENTINE HANDS- Large Numbers Beturnins Home from Georgia Many Will Not Beturn The New Emigration Labor Law and Its Effects, " Several hundred colored men, turpen tine bands from the pine lands of the State of Georgia were in the city yester day on the way to their old homes in the eastern part of this State. They were well supplied with money and spent it liberally with store-keepers and others. Several members of the party said, upon being questioned, that they did not ex pect to return to Georgia next season, and as far as they knew very few of the men would go back ; there was a large number, however, yet in Georgia, who in all probability would remain there. Turpentine men in Georgia are, in truth, no little concerned at the appar ent poor prospect of obtaining sufficient laborers to work in this field ot industry the coming season. Most of their hands are from the eastern counties of North Carolina, and the law passed by the last Legislature of this-State puts an embargo on the deportation of laborers, imposing a license tax of $1000 on every person soliciting or securing such labor ers, and punishing violations of the law by a fine of $500 to $1000, or imprison ment, at the discretion of the Court. The Savannah News, in an article on the serious aspect of the subject a short time aeo. stated that it is esti mated that 10,000 of the negro laborers employed in turpentine orchards in that State are from North Carolina, that they are employed for the season of nine or ten months and 'paid from fifteen to twenty dollars per month with rations furnished free. At the end of the season they invariably re turn home, spend the money they have saved and at the opening of the new season are without a dollar. The tur pentine operator who'expects to make a crop sends his agent there to gather up hands sufficient for his purpose and fur nish them with transportation. Travelling men from the Georgia tur pentine sections report that the estab lished naval stores operators have pitch-'' ed their business upon a higher scale this year than last, and if the North Carolina immigration law is not done away with or got around in some way they will be seriously injured by the lack of labor to carry on their operations on the scale planned. The same men express the opinion that if the North Carolina immi gration law is not declared unconstitu tional the operators will be seriously crippled. "There is enough labor in the country at present," said one well-posted travel ling man, "even if. a few thousand ne groes go back to North Carolina and re main there, but if there is a general re vival of business next spring, and all the small saw-mills, which have been com pelled to shut down by the depression of the lumber trade, resume business, and at the same time two or three railroads are in process of construction as is gen erally the case, the scarcity of labor will be severely felt." A prominent factor said that the scar city of labor would be one of the best things that ever happened to the naval stores men, both producers and factors, if it caused them to curtail their opera tions and in that wav lessened the amount of next year's output. 8Y RIVER AND RAIL.

Nash Its Assets and Indebtedness Grow ing Out of Business Transactions with Jno. C. Davis Plans for Its Belief. As the public are interested, at this time, in the unfortunate embarrassment into which Fifth Street M. E. Church South has been plunged by the business transactions of John C. Davis, I feel it a duty incumbent on me as the pastor of this church, recently appointed, to state the facts to the public. Upon investigation, I find the indebt edness of the church to be $30,738.99, and that the church holds real estate, beside the church building and parson age, estimated to be worth $11,350.00, which I think is a very liberal estimate. i hnd that a large number ot the members of this church and others have involved themselves to help Mr. Davis .out of his personal embarrassments, and "that they have, in many instances, mort gaged their homes, to raise money lor himnot one dollar of which has gone into the building fund of the church, as we owe money enough to build and equip the church to various parties who furnished the money. Many of these sufferers are poor widows and they lost their all. The real estate, outside of the church and parsonage building, was deeded to the church by John C. Davis. Now, I propose to the church, and the friends of Christianity to raise the amount of indebtedness on the church, and then to turn over this real estate, conveyed by John C. Davis, to those who have suffred in this unfortunate af fair, to be shared pro rata by them. This is, in my judgment, the most equitable solution of this question. 1 am not prepared to say how many have suffered in this matter; but I am prepared to say that Fifth Street Meth odist Church South, of the city of Wil mington, N. C, does not want one cent that does not come to it fairly and honestly. Two gentlemen of this city, neither of whom is a member of this church, came to me and each offered to be one of two hundred to pay off this indebted ness. Are there not others who will do likewise and let us save this church? I believe there are, and take this method of appealing to a generous public in the interest of a great enterprise. The gentlemen who made the oner to pay the debt, did not accompany their offer with any requirement on the part of the church, but the proposition to give up this property comes from me in behalf of the church. It is impossible for us to do anything with this property until these debts are paid, as it is all covered with mortgages. While my sympathies go out to the unfortunate, my purpose is to see as far as in me lies, that justice is done to all. Address any communication to box 294. L. L. Nash, Pastor of Fifth Street, M. E. Church, South, Wilmington, N. C. TYROLESE CARNIVAL. One of the Prettiest and Most Charming Entertainments of the Beason. The first night of the Tyrolese Car nival was well attended, the hall being literally packed with people, and it was a grand success in every particular. The doors were thrown open at six o'clock and a regular supper was served, after which the Gypsies tableaux were opened, a striking and attractive feature, with about twenty-five young ladies in cos tume, and Mrs. Dudley Burkhiemer as leader. Then the following programme was presented, viz : Female quartette, "Heart Throbs," which was sung in a splendid manner. Misses Annie Stolter, Elese Bissinger, Maggie Peschau and Katie Stolter com posed the quartette. Two Tyrolese songs, by Miss Minnie Schwarz, accompanied by Miller's Or chestra, were superb and elicited much applause. Spmyhony, by thirteen Gypsy girls.was well rendered. A song by a female Quartette, ended with "Come to the Gypsy Dance," by about ten little Gypsy girls. After the concert the spectators paid attention to the refreshments, which were served in great variety. The booths were very elaborately and handsomely decorated in fancy colors, and the stage was beautifully arranged and adorned with flags. The dining parlors were exquisite, with mirrors, pictures, and moss and ever greens tastefully arranged. Last night s entertainment was a grand success throughout and a larger crowd is exoected to-night. The ladies on the committee have worked hard all this week and deserve special credit for their good management and hand some designs.
