The doctor who performs a surgt cal operation under the muzzle of a double barrel shot gun in the hands of a lunatic with an emphatic inti mation that a failure meant shoot, is is subjected to a severe ordeal and must be a man of steady nerve. That's what two New York doctors did the other day when they were called upon to perform a surgical op eration on the wife of a saloon keep er, who was insanely drunk and stood with the gun pointed at them all the time. The operation was a success, and the gun was not called into play. There is an' infant industry in Chicago which does not ask protec tion. But there does not seem to be any disposition in that city to en courage it and help it along. This is the experience of the butcher who started out with such bright pros pects until some meddlesome., officer ran afoul of "him and brought him to a sudden halt when he had disposed of the meat of only two horses. which he bought for three dollars and sold for thirty-six. The act of those Texas cowboys in taking possesion of a passenger train and driving off the train a drum mer because he wore a red necktie may be looked upon as simply an exhibition of pastoral pleasantry, but when, with their breech-loaders, they compelled the young ladies on board to entertain them with songs they showed an unpardonable breach of etiquette. An Argentine general has refused a Presidential nomination. We don't blame him. So would we, if we were an Argentine general, or any other sort of a general down there. There isn't any fun in being President, when the probabilities are you would have to skedaddle or commit suicide inside of twelve months. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Ross & San ford Notice. C. F. & Y. V. R.

Thus far the grip has prevailed only in a mild lorm in the bouth, but it is said the physicians of Philadelphia are becoming very uneasy about the disease in that city. When it first made its ap pearance there this season it was of such a mild type that very few people paid any attention to it. The physicians said that they did not believe that it would become virulent, and they anti cipated very little trouble from it. Within the last week or two the situa tion has changed greatly. The number who are suffering from the disease is very large, and the percentage of deaths has become alarming. The disease is accompanied by a great tendency to throat and . bronchial com plications, and one of the leading phy sicians says that the epidemic promises to be much more severe than the epi demic of two years ago. The deaths from the disease are now about thirty a day, and the number is expected to in crease until there are more lavorable at mospheric conditions. In New York the disease is increasing in virulence and the death roll Is steadr ily growing larger. New Jersey, Con necticut and California are States in which the disease is appearing in its worst places. But there is scarcely any part of the country that is iree from it. Sol Haas on the Southern Situation, . Mr. Sol Haas, traffic manager of the Richmond and Danville system, and a former citizen ot Wilmington, says that the South is not as bad off as some people say it is. Cotton is low, but the South has made up for the loss on cot ton by raising all the grain and meat it needed. He believed the South owes less monev to-dav than it owed ten years ago. About one-quarter of the cotton re mains to be moved. The South has in creased wonderfully in manufactures and general 'business in the past few years, and on the whole Mr. Haas be lieves that next year will be a good year for the Southern railroads and the people. He predicts a big year Richmond. for The Case of Mr. Eobt. Chadwick. Mr. Robt. Chadwick who struck Mon roe Toomer, colored, with a gun Christ mas day (as published in the Star a few days since), was called up before Mayor Ricaud vesterday morning, but Monroe r not being able to appear, inves tigation of the case was postponed. Dr. Sheppard was sent out to Monroe's house, near Ninth and Castle streets, to ascertain the extent of his injuries. When he returned, he reporte'd to the Court that it was only a scalp-wound and was not dangerous. Mr. Chadwick's bond was then reduced to $150, and this being furnished bv J. E. Reese, Mr. Chadwick was released. N. C, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1891. FOR FALSE PRETENCE. The Case Against John C. Davis Called for Preliminary Hearing;. A large crowd fully 800 people gathered at the county court house yes terday morning, all eager to -Know the outcoming of the case-of false pretence against Mr. John C. Davis. At 10.55 o'clock the defendant entered the court room accompanied by Jailor King and a deputy sheriff. All eyes, eager to catch the first glimpse, were turned toward the prisoner as he walked erect and boldly, occasion ally stopping to shake hands with some friend and bowing to many. He still wore his black Prjnce Al bert suit and seemed in appearance as well as usual, with the exception that some marks of care could be traced upon his countenance by careful dis cernment. In the court room he was given perfect liberty. He moved about. talked to several members of the bar, and finally took a seat beside his coun sel, Col. Thos. W. Strange. At 11 o'clock the -deputy sheriff proclaimed silence, and his Honor,-John J. Fowler, called the case. Col. A. M. Waddell for the State, said that he was ready, and Col. Strange asked that the Court indulge the defendant for a few minutes so that he could have time to send for Mr. J. D. Bellamy, Jr.. the associate at torney for the defence, who for some reason had not made his appearance. The Court took a recess for ten min utes, and at the end of that time Col. Strange said that the defence would not longer ask the detention of the Court, but would waive an examination. The defendant was required to give a bond of $750 for his appearance on the first Monday in January, 1892, at the Criminal Court of New Hanover county. The witnesses bound over were Mrs. E. J. Fanning, Miss Lou Way, Sol. C. Weill, and the Register of Deeds, John Haar, Jr. Mr. Davis failed to give bond and was recommitted to iail. The charge in this case was by Mrs. E. J. Fanning for false pretences; but there is another by her for perjury, and there are others by Mrs. Dixon, a widow lady, for false pretences, forgery and perjury. several persons called on Mr. Davis at the jaif yesterday morning before the hearing, among whom were Dr. Swin dell, Presiding Elder, and some ladies. He talked with all and seemed to be in good spirits. A SERIOUS AFFAIR. Three Young Men Arrested for a Deadiy Assault on Mr. Wm. Qrant. Marshal Kerman, Mike Dovrfing and Walter Galloway, all under 21 years of age, were arrested about 6 o clock yes terday morning, charged with assault and battery with a deadly weapon last Thursday night on Mr. Wm. Grant. The case was called at 10 a. m. before Mayer Ricaud. Dr. Shepard, one of the physicians attending Mr. Grant, said tnat tne condition ot tne latter was critical, and it was very doubtful if he would survive the injuries received. Testimony given by witnesses of the unfortunate occurrence showed that on Christmas Eve Mr. Grant, with two com panions, passed five young fellows on the corner of Seventh and Chesnut streets, when a difficulty arose between Grant and Mike Dowling, one of the crowd. Soon after the row began Mar shall Kerman ran around the corner. pulled a board from a tree fender, and (he claims) as he came back Grant started at him, and he struck Mr. Grant with the board on the side of the head. Dowling stated that he struck Grant with a stick about his shoulders just before. The witnesses for the State said that as Mr. Grant was engaged fighting one of the crowd, another ran up behind and struck him on the head, and that only one lick was struck and that with a board. Kerman and Dowling were required to give bond in the sum of $500 each, for their appearance at the Criminal Court and Galloway's bond was fixed at $250. They were committed to jail in default of bail. But later, Galloway se cured bondsmen and was released. Concert at the Opera House. The Princeton University Glee, Ban jo, and Mandolin Clubs will give a con cert in this city on the evening of December 31, at the Wilmington Opera House. Society people will recognize this as being one of the swellest amateur performances ever given in the South. The clubs this year far eclipse any of the former organizations sent out by Princeton. Princeton has the largest, the most complete and superbly drilled musical clubs of any of the colleges of the coantry. The Glee Club alone car ries twenty-three men the Banjo Club thirteen, and the Mandolin Club twelve. AsBault and Battery. R. H. Martin, W. H. Boyette and Joshua Irving, ail colored, were tried before Capt. John Cowan, J. P., yester day, on the charge ef waylaying and as saulting Geo. W. Davis, colored. Alter hearing the evidence, Martin was re quired to give bond in the sum ot $100 and Boyette and Irving $50 each for their appearance at the Criminal Court, to answer. RAILROAD NOTES. St. Louis Republic: For some days past the Big Four people have been testing their new 10-wheel freight en gines with surprising results on the road between Union and Galion where are the heaviest grades. One of these en gines hauled 35 loaded cars from Gallon to Union, using but six tons and a half of coal, while one of the company's mo gul engines, hauling 27 cars, consumed 10 tons ot coal, it was claimed by the mechanical engineer who prepared the plans and specifications of these engines that they would haul the same tonnage of an ordinary freight engine with a sav ing of 33 per cent, in coal, and the tests have shown even better results. The weekly letter of the banking house of Hambleton & Co., of Baltimore contains the following: "At last we have what we consider definite information regarding the proposed policy of the Baltimore & Ohio company. From a source which we consider entirely re liable, we learn that it is proposed to ask the stockholders at the annual meeting in November to authorize the issue of $10,000,000 add itional stock. Th stock to be appropriated as follows: As a dividend to present stockholders, $3,- 000.000; to the Pittsburg & Western rail road, $2,000,000, to be sold as required for extensions and betterments, $5,000, 000. It is also proposed that the com pany shall announce that it will hereafter pay cash dividends at the rate of l per cent quarterly." Richmond State: It is said that the official powers of the Southern Vice President, Col. A. B. Andrews, General Manager Green, and Traffic Manager Haas will be greatly extended in their respective departments. They are not to be constituted. a managerial board of the R. & D. to operate the properties as was erroneously reported, but each is to run his office without being hampered by the Wall Street end of the line. There seems to be no doubt of the fact that the policy of discharging the men from the shops will be changed. No more men will be discharged, and those who have been put off will, it is said, be re-employed in January. It is believed that President Inman got rattled in the face of the large amount of interest and dividends to be met in January (about $2,000,000), and started in with his wholesale cutting off without conferring with his associates. Such a policy is re garded as a great mistake from many points of view. THE GOLDSBORO TRAGEDY. The Evidence Upon Which Weightman Thompson "Was Held for the Murder of the Pearsall Family. The Goldsboro Argus of yesterday in relation to the murder and burning of the Pearsall family near that place, says: The circumstances that surround Weightman Thompson and that guided the coroner's jury very properly in hold ing him to answer lor the murder of Pearsall and his family are these in brief. Thompson was the last man known to be with Pearsall before the crisp re mains of the latter were found in the burnt dwelling. Thompson had gone home with him that evening from Kob t Ham s, and Pearsall carried with him Irom Ham s a suit ot clcthes and a pair of suspenders that he had purchased in this city on Monday and had left at Ham s on 1 uesday till a more conve nient time to carry them home, which occurred on Wednesday afternoon in company with Thompson. Pearsall s home and himself and family were de stroyed by fire Wednesday night. These clothes and suspenders were found hid away in the woods in Thompson's valise subsequent to the burning, and he claims that he purchased them in Hali fax; but the clothes and suspenders are thoroughly identified as being the ones purchased by Pearsall m this city and the same that he left Ham's with Wednesday; so there is no question of Thompson s felonious possession of the clothes. Some statements of Thompson, very damaging to him, were testified to by witnesses, but as they were conflicting we withhold them. A woman s earrings were lound in Thompson's possession, but as yet they are unidentified; and as he has made no statement in his own behalf under oath or on the witness stand, we defer com ment on this point. Weather Forecasts. The following are the forecasts for to-day : For Virginia, colder, generally fair Wednesday, and lair Thursday, west winds. For North Carolina, fair, preceded by showers in the east portion, northwest winds, colder. For South Carolina, fair, clearing on the coast, colder, northwest winds, fair Thursday. For Georgia, generally fair Wednes day and Thursday, west winds, colder except in the extreme north portion. stationary temperature. RIVER AND MARINE.

TAR, WHOLE NO. 7,794 Holiday Festival Market 8treet ' M. E. Church. A Christmas tree and entertainment was given by the Market Street M. E. Church last night at the residence of Mr. W. J.

Berry, for the Women's Missionary Society, which was received for Market street church by Presiding Elder Swindell; both made speeches. Then a vote was taken for the most popular Sunday school scholars a boy and a girl which was won by Marvin Craig and Gracie Craig, respectively. They were each given a handsome prize. Everybody went away much pleased with the entertainment. A "Very Pleasant Affair. The L' Arioso German Club gave a most delightful german last night in The urton dining room, lbe german was j led by Mr. Wm, Dick, assisted by Lieut. M. M. Patrick. About seventy-five couples were present. The following visiting young ladies were there: Miss Ida and Janie Hicks, of Faison, N. C; Miss Clinch and Miss Stauiiton, of Canada; Miss Calvert, of Baltimore; Miss May Baughman, of Richmond; Miss White, of Connells- ville, Pa.; Miss Berta Smith, of Raleigh; Miss Stark, of Norfolk, Va.; Miss Sue Macumber, of Ashland, Va.; Mrs. C.

A pleasant time was had by the chil dren of St. Andrews' Sunday school last night. A Christmas . tree festival was held, with old Santa Claus appearing through the top of a chimney, and giv ing each scholar a present. Mr. W. C. Von Glahn acted as Santa Claus. After the children had all been supplied, Rev. Alex. Sprunt in behalf of the Brother hood of Andrew and Phillip, in a neat and most praiseworthy speech presented the pastor of St. Andrews' church. Rev, A, D. McClure, with a handsome gold headed cane, which was accepted by Mr. McClure with an appreciative speech to the Brotherhood who had so kindly re membered him and who in that way had shown their esteem and friendship.
