The April supplement of the New York Commercial and Financial Chron icle contains 183 pages, giving the indebtedness of States, jcities and towns inthe United States. It is a very valuable work for reference, for the large amount of statistical infor mation it gives condensed within such space. For murders and suicides among children France seems to take the lead. 'Nine murders of boys and . girls under 10 years of age, commit ted by boys under 14 have been re ported within the past tewmonths. The suicides are almost as numerous. The disposition to suicide may be born in them for there are no people in the world who commit suicide with . more deliberation and method than the French. A New York doctor says he fre quently gives bread pills and sugar pills to people who have nothing to do but quarrel and find fault with their livers. It would be a good thing, perhaps, if there were more bread and sugar pills administered and fewer livers in this world. Some people have no business with a liver any way, for they don't know how to treat the poor thing. The waiters m Delmomco's New - York hasherie have struck because they were not paid wages enough, and the employer. added insult to injury by requiring them to part with their beards, moustaches, &c. They could stand the low wages, but when it came to divesting themselves of those flowing beards and Jmposing moustaches they thought it was time to get up arid assert their American sovereignty and put the boss in the soup. "' Dr. Buchanan, convicted last week, in New York, of the poisoning of his wife, pronounces the verdict a mon strous failure of justice, and thinks that with such verdicts the public will lose confidence in juries. Pos sibly the jury may have been wrong in this case, but the public will not rear up much on its hind legs at the verdict. As disreputable a wretch as Buchanan was, by his own confes sion, deserves capital punishment on general principles. ' VOL. LII. NO. 36 When Fred Zimmerman, a denizen of Chicago, was taking a short cut home one night last week,- he was confronted by five foot-pads, one of whom stuck ,a pistol under his nose and ordered him to throw up his hands. Being of an accommodating disposition Fred threw up his hands, and then the f. p's. proceeded to go through his pockets, a familiarity on short acquaintance which he con strued as an insult. Reaching out he grabbed that lone pistol and went for the quintet with such impetu osity that they couldn't stand the pressure, and instanter took to their heels and left him in possession of the lot. He made a pistol by the operation and the foot-pads 'made tracks. A number of Philadelphia women have petitioned the court to grnt a license for a saloon in -their neigh borhood, for the reason that their husbands have to cross the railroad to get to the saloon, and coming back isn't always safe.

I The Star of yesterday was dated May 1st on the first page, though all the dates on oihr pages were cor rect.' But as the proper day ol the week was given on all pages, the , careful, reader had no difficulty in enjoying the fresh and varied assortment of news. The death is announced of Mrs. Caroline Farrow, an aged lady of this city. She died last evening at the resi dence of Mr. Jno. W. Hewett. her son-in-law. The funeral will take place this afternoon at 5 o'clock from Fifth Street M. E. Church, of which she had long been a member. Miss Helen Warrock died, of paralysis, at Jacksonville, Florida, last Sunday. She was a niece of Capt. W. S. Warrock of the Star office, and was a young lady of many and varied accom plishments.

The contract lor. carrying the mails between Wilmington and Southport. by steamer for three years, from June 30tb, 1893, to July 1st, 1896, has been sub-let to Capt. John W. Harper. It will be remembered that this contract was awarded to Mr. H. O. Roop, of Georgia," who fondly hoped to sub-let it at a healthy profit. Misther O'Roop tried all his persuasive arts to induce some fresh" young fellow to take the contract off his money-making hands at an ad Vance of two hundred dollarsf but he failed ignominiously and finally.'jn a fit of desperation, he planked down a very handsome Donus which soon found its way into the capacious pockets of Capt. Harper. So, the contract is now ar ranged as it should be. And Mr. O'Roop is now "in the soup; and "don't you forget," be had to sub-let it. , Magistrate' Court. Win.

' ' ; ' The United States District Court, Judge Seymour , presiding, reassembled yesterday morning at 10 o'clock. The grand jury was drawn and em pannelled as follows: W. H.

Dur ham, F. H. Cotten, W. P. Weymss, Jesse Soles, J. D. Congleton, W. J. Cro martie. W. J. Currie was sworn as officer in charge of the grand jury. The first case called was that of E. F. Moore, ex-President of the People's .National Bank of Fayetteville, continued from the last term. Defendant is charged with embezzlement of funds of the bank. Affidavit was submitted by defendant's counsel for. continuance of the case, on account of the absence of Jno. H. Robin son, one of the witnesses, and for other causes stated in the affidavit. The Court, however, refused to continue the case to the -next term and ordered that it be transferred, to be tried at .Raleigh, -Thursday, June 8th next. 1 Other cases were disposed of as fol lows: . ' j J. T. Powell, of Sampson county, charged with operating an illicit dis tillery. Case continued for the govern ment, on account of the absence of wit nesses.

Quincy Strickland, of Columbus county, was found guilty of the charge ot retailing liquor without license. J. J. Croom, charged with illicit dis tilling. Verdict, not guilty. The grand jury returned true bills against Crawford Waiters for distilling and John Faucett for retailing without license. Also, a true bill against Lou Holmes for retailing liquor without license, and not a true bill against H. C. McDonald for retailing.-. The case of Florence . Lamb, charged with retailing liquor without license, was in the hands of a jury when the court took a recess about six o'clock until 10 a. m. to-day. CAROLINA CENTRAL CATERPILLARS- The Baltimore 8un Grows Facetious It . Talks About Karolina 8entral Snakes. The Baltimore Sun of yesterday per petrates, editorially, the following joke: The South Carolina whiskey, which is subjected to careful government in spection, sold by regular appointed gov ernment officials in original packages, each bearing official certificates, is hav ing some peculiar effects. One of the strangest is Ain reducing the apparent size of resultant snakes. Some of this South Carolina beverage recently got across the line into North Carolina and an original package or two fell into the hands of an engineer on the Carolina, Central Railroad. The effect was pro digious. When the engine-man arrived in Clarkton from Wilmington he report ed that for ten miles the , railroad was covered two inches deep with caterpil lars. It seems that the South Carolina whiskey not only made the snakes look small, but - made .them appear, wooly. Under the new liquor law of South Car olina the smallest drink which can be bought is a quart and it was thought by some that it was to this fact the enor mous number of snakes was to be at tributed. But this explanation of the matter is manifestly incorrect, since it has been the uniform experience of thirsty Sinners that the bigger the drinks the bigger the snakes.' So it must be conceded that there is some peculiarity in the granger government whiskey of the Palmetto State which not only re duces the size of the snakes, but makes them look like caterpillars. . ' - Ordered to Vacate the Docks. It is the general opinion of people who have given .thought to the matter that the order issued by the city authori ties directing the Chief of Police to close the dock at the foot ol Princess street and other docks on the river frontto ven dors of firewood from the country, is a mistake, to say the least. Whatever the purpose of the order may be, its effect, unquestionably, will be to enhance the price of wood ' to consumers, "and thus entail distress and suffering upon poor people in the community. It maybe said that the increased cost to con sumers will be small; but to pinching poverty a nickel in time of need is a for tune and pinching poverty is always in need of that nickeL' ' - What a Small Ad. Did. Mr. J. Hicks Bunting gives the fol lowing as his experience in advertising in the "Business Locals" of the Star. He inserted a two-line advertisement Sunday . morning, which cost him 25 cents. In response, he received twenty one applications in person and several by malL Boys were at his house Mon day morning before he got out of bed, and when he reached his store at 7 a. m. there was a 'crowd "settln"' for him. He selected one and treated the balance of the crowd to soda water. MAY 3. 1893; FAYETTEVILLE NEWS BTJBGET. The City Eleotion Mayor Cook A Cow Question Water Works Electric Lights A New' Bank A Colored Man's Crime. " Sptctal Star Correspondence Fayettkville, NY C May 1. The city election for Mayor and Board of Aldermen resulted as foreshadowed in the Star of Sunday. Col. W. S. Cook was elected Mayor, and a lull board of Democratic Aldermen, without opposi tion. - Col. Cook is a thoroughly fur nished ex-member of "the old 'Board," that is, the Board elected by an act of the Legislature under which the- charter of the town has been suspended for eleven years. He is well qualified to preside over the destinies ot this community, "and we are satisfied that under his ad ministration, sustained by a board of in telligent young men who are identified with the varied interests of the town, our city will take no backward steps. There are now In process of construc tion here a splendid system of water' works, two competing electric-light sys tems, and a new bank. The police sys tem of the town' is to be improved by the appointment cf a vigilant police lorce and last, hut not least the ques tion ot "turning out the cows" is to be considered. . This latter is . a question about which a large per cent, of our population feel great concern, and we opine that the compensation our Board ot Aldermen will receive will assume the form of a "very large cursing" weekly, whether they turn out the cows, or whether they do not. If your cor respondent was a cursing man, he would heap his anathemas upon them in either event. " For if they do not "turn out the cows," they would deprive us of a lot of green food that our stock cannot get now; and if they do turn them out other people's stock will depredate upon our flower yards. So, we are prepared to curse them anyhow! The election of a City Marshal and subordinate officers will take place at a meeting of the board Monday. The colored man, Edinboro Scurlock, who burned his daughter in bed on Sun day morning, 23rd inst was arrested last week and is now in Cumberland jail. He denies the charge and claims that he can produce evidence sufficient to prove an alibi. Scurlock is well known in this community, and has always borne a good character, and a great many doubt his guilt. He will probably be tried for the crime at the next term of the Superior Court for this county which convenes next week. The burned wo man is improving, and will probably re cover sufficiently to give her attention to the case when it is called. - THE WEATHER LAST MONTH.

Brenizer Appointed Dele sate to the Bankers' Conference at Chi caso Deolaiona of the "Railroad, Commis sion. . .; ;r Special Star Telegram. Raleigh, NCMay 2. The State Board of Education met to-day and re adopted ' the present list of books for public schools of the State for the next three years. . '' f At noon to-day the retiring board of aldermen turned over the city affairs to" the newioard elected yesterday. The election of Mayor and other officers was not gone into to-day, but was postponed till next Friday night. Gov. Carr has appointed ' AI G. Bren izer, of Charlotte, a delegate to the World's Fair conferees of bankers to be held at Chicago in June. Mr. Brenizer is expected to attend and deliver an ad dress upon the banksof North Carolina. The Railroad Commission was in ses sion to-day and had several important cases before it. Among them was the well known case of E. P. Albea, of Win ston, against the Western Union. Tele graph Co. for over-charge. The case is now pending on appeal in the Supreme Court and the commission having found that the company refused to apply the rate fixed by it from 'their offices at Elizabeth City and Edenton, called the attention of their' attorneys to. the act empowering the commission to fix rates and to inform them, pending appeal. The commission dismissed the action ot Pickett against the Atlantic Coast Line, for refusal to redeem unused com mutation tickets, Pickett not having carried out his part of the contract. In structions for better station facilities at Williamston on the Albemarle & Ra leigh railroad were approved by . the commission. Suppress the Croaker. . The croaker market in Wilmington is glutted. He belongs to the zenus homo, and is engaged in many kinds of mer cantile and other business pursuits, and he is making the air dark with his fear ful mutterings about "dull times." No one denies that trade is dull, but it is an undeniable fact that the croaker makes t appear worse than it really is. When a stranger comes to Wilmington he is sure to meet a croaker, . who tells him that "business is flat," that "trade is paralyzed," that he don't see how he can "feed his wife and children during the Summer," and that he is afraid he "will have to leave Wilmington if trade don't get better very soon." The stranger catches the contagion, he thinks he has struck a dead town, and that as every thing is "going to pot" he had better not buy any goods. So he walks gloom ily to his hotel, pays' his bill, and takes the first tram for home. The croaker ought to be suppressed. He should be laughed at by those of more buoyant temperament until he feels ashamed of his nonsense. Let him understand that the trade of no town was ever improved by the gruesome lamen tations of the croaker, and that it is the man of sunny disposition who makes those around him happy, and who can realize that the clouds cannot always ob scure the bright sunshine or hide the brilliant stars that stud the canopy of heaven. COTTON FACTS AND FIGURES. Receipts of cotton here yesterday, 23 bales. ' Spot cotton firm in New York at 7c for middling. New York futures closed easy; sales 196,700 bales; June closed 7.51; July 7.61 August 7.68; September 7.74; October 7.79; November 7.84; December 7.90; January 7.95. Augusta Chronicle;, ' It is reported that farmers are making every endeavor to secure cotton seed for the purpose of replanting'their cotton crop, which has been very largely killed by frost. The high pnees paid for seed during the win ter have induced many farmers to sell. Where will they get them to replant. New Orleans correspondent of the Charlotte Observer: A business man in discussing thesubiect of cotton said that most of the cotton men in New Orleans were looking for a big crop the coming year and corisequently low prices. . This gentleman thought, however, that the chances were as yet about evenly bal anced. "There has been a considerable drought in southwest Texas already,' said this gentleman, "and it must be re membered that we had two very phe nomenal crops in succession, putting our ideas up to eight and nine million bales of cotton, when in reality seven to seven and a halt million bales on the same acre age is a good crop. This last year's crop was not so very bad except by compari son with those two large ones, and it is hardly fair to assume that even with a full acreage and a fair crop, the result will exceed about seven and a half million bales, and, if it turns out to be this figure, the price will be all right. It must be kept in mind, though, that in the face of this individual judgment of mine, the cotton men here all seem to incline to the idea of a big crop next year and low prices." - FARROR.
