Some of Senator Voorhees' Indiana
admirers have started a little Presi
dential boom for him. They did it at
the Congressional Convention which
met last Monday at Richmond, in

remarked, however, that prematnre
booms of that kind, started at this
season of the year, require a good
deal of nursing.

' Tiny Tim," "the smallest man in
the world," who was for a long time
a big attraction in Barnum's Circus,
has gone to the bad. Although he
got a salary of $150 a week, he was
big enough to get away with all of
it, and the result was that between
high living and bibulous habits he
got so fat that he had to quit the
show business. He kept up his
convivial habits, however, and the
result is tnat ne is now serving a
thirty days' term on BlackwelPs
Island to tone him down.
The most interesting cabbage-head
we have struck for some time is re

Intending to make some slaw, his

in it encountered something hard,
which proved to be a $20 gold piece.
Of course she forgot all about the
slaw and proceeded with the dissec
tion until she took out three more
twenties, a ten and a five dollar piece.
The supposition is that some cab
bage-head drew his deposits from
some of the banks and deposited in
a young cabbage-bead, which fol
lowed the example of the banks and
closed up, retaining the cash.

ABOUT COTTON.
Will the Price Advisee, or Will Tner
f Be a Farther Decline What Leading
Factors Have to Say of the Matter.
: Messrs. Clapp & Co.. cotton brokers,
iia their weekly market letter. January
18th, say: ?
The continued liberal movement at in
terior and other places all along the line
has a third time surprised the Continent,
Great Britain and American traders
from planter to spinner. People most
closely allied with planters, cotton fac
tors and railways seem to be unusually
ride apart in their views. Private wire
nouses have been free distributors of
"back country" news about the coming
movement, which has surprised the san
guine bears or champions of a 1 or 8
million crop. Americas spinners have
bought sparingly, and are said to have
marketed less manufactured goods than
usual, and carry very small stocks of
both raw cotton and cotton goods. Tbey
seldom get long of cotton on our Ex
change this season, rather leaving it to
the merchant and speculator nearer the
source of supply, whose bull enthusiasm
seems to hold out like "The Widder's
Oil." Ordinarily, looking back, the
movement has fallen off about the last
half of January. There is a class who
seem to say the battle for constitutional
reform in the tariff is the all depressing
factor in values, and that that matter
will soon be settled and we will have a
radical improvement in general business
and values. We do not believe in an ex
treme large crop or an extreme low
pf ice for cotton.
Riordan & Co., cotton factors, of New
York, take this view of the situation:
It is useless for our friends to close
their eyes to the simple fact that cotton
will advance or decline from to day's
figure according to the volume of re
ceipts. If the movement next week
should approach that of the week just
ended, we shall certainly go lower, and
perhaps very considerably lower. On
the other hand, any sharp falling off in
receipts, such as the bulls are constantly
and confidently predicting, might cause
avery rapid and decided recovery. The
outlook for the immediate future, in our
opinion, is not a very cheerful one. We
fear that prices are going to be lower.
PASTORAL PRESSURE.
Thoughts Suggested by the Warm and
Affectionate Nature of a Jersey Pastor.
. It is said that when the Rev. Dare
took charge of the Methodist churches
at Smithville and Port Republic, N. J.,
last Spring, he signalized the occasion by
kissing all the young lady members. Of
course, it was but a fatherly kiss of
peace, but the young men did not like it
at all. As it was done in public, how-
however, they could not object; but some
of them determined to get even, and a
few days ago-thre of them created a
disturbance in meeting by openly assert
ing that they had seen the pastor pri
vately squeeze the organist's hand in a
way that was highly improper during
the progress of a protracted meeting.
The pastor admitted the squeeze, but
said that he was but demonstrating his
warm and affectionate nature, and that
there was no harm in it. The matter
yas referred to a committee for investi
gation, and the general impression is
that the whole matter means merely
jealousy on the part of the accusers.
Now, the Star would respectfully
submit that, whatever may be thought of
the osculating demonstration of the Jer
sey pastor, there should be a limit to
the amount of hand pressure, never per
mitting it to reach the proportions of a
"tight sqneeze." There should be a
maximum pressure established by law,
and every pastor who has the "grip'
should be required to carry along, as a
part of his paraphernalia, a machine
which will automatically record, in
pounds, the pastoral pressure it being
assumed, of course, that the female
party of the second part takes no part in
the tx parte pressure of the party of the
first part. "Shake !'
Death of Mr. P. H. Hodges.
; Mr. P. H. HodJSes, who came here
'some three months ago with bis wife and
child, and opened a boarding house on
Market street between Front and Second,
died yesterday morning, after an ill
ness of several days with pneumonia. He
was from Norfolk, Va.; was a member of
the. Catholic Church, and made many
friends during his brief residence here.
His funeral will take place this afternoon
from St. Thomas' Catholic Church.
. Some sensational reports were current
yesterday to the effect that Mr. Hodges
after death had come to lite again and
spoken to the attendants at his bedside
and then had expired. But the physi
cian who attended him says there is no
truth in the report. Mr. Hodges was
delirious some time before his death,
and in his ravings said that he had died
twice before. It was this remark, prob
ably, that gave rise to the report that he
had died and then came to life again.
Seriously Injured.
I A negro named Doney Reid was
knocked in the head last night about
half-past eight o'clock, on Front street
wear Walnut, by a colored man whose
name is unknown. Reid was found on
the street unconscious, and was
carried to his home in Mr. A. H.
Holmes' delivery wagon. His assailant
was pursued by a policeman and others
to the Atlantic Coast Line freight yard,
where he escaped by dodging under
cars standing on the railroad track.
Reid's injuries are said to be serious.
His home is at the corner of Fifth and
Wooster streets.
RECEIVER APPOINTED
For tne North State Improvement Com
pany Its Liabilities Placed at $650,000.
Special Star Telegram.
Mount Airy. N. :C., Jan. 20. The
North State Improvement Company of
Greensboro has gone into the hands of
a receiver.
Mr. J. C. Buxton, of Winston, ap
peared last night before Judge Graves
and made application in behalf of the
United Brethren, a benevolent organi
zation at Salem, N. ;c. to whom the
company is indebted in the sum of $10,
000. The application was granted, and
Mr. John W. Fries, of Salem, was ap
pointed receiver.
The company's liabilities are placed
at $650,000.
LBy United Press to ths Star.l
Richmond, Va January 20. A
greensboro, N. C., special to the
isAatch says: The .North State Im
provement Company (which is the same
thing as the C. F. & Y. V. R. R.) was
to-day placed in the hands of a receiver,
John W. Fries, of Salem, by order of
Judge Graves, of Mount Airv. The ap
plication for the receivership was made
by the United Brethren of Salem, to
which the company is indebted about
$10,000. Messrs. Watson and Buxton
represent the plaintiff, and Dr. W. A.
Lash, vice-president, Dr. D. W. C. Ben
bow, director, and Geo. M. Rose, at
torney, represent the defendants. The
action was precipitated by rumors of
threatened suits.
In view of the approaching sale of the
road it is thought the receivership will
be only temporary. The company's
liabilities are placed at $650,000.
Dead Body Found.
A sensation was caused in Burgaw a
day or two ago over the finding of the
body of Sylvester Lamb, a colored man,
who had been in Georgia for the past
two years and returned to Burgaw
Christmas in company with two strang
ers from Georgia. He left that place
for his home (about ten miles from Bur
gaw) with these men and was
never seen afterwards. His mutilated
body was found a few days ago by some
schoolchildren about three miles from
Burgaw. a half mile from the main road,
in a thicket near a branch. His wife has
letters stating that he had saved his
money and was coming home to buy a
place, and it is thought he was mur
dered. The citizens of Burgaw have
asked Gov. Carr to issue a reward large
enough to bring the guilty parties to jus
tice. "Blue Grass."
A charming comedy drama will b
day eyening. The company is said to
be an excellent one and we see only the
most favorable notices wherever tbey
have appeared. The Birmingham Age
Herald says "the plot is a very interest
ing one, the scene being located in Old
Kentucky. There are a number of very
interesting situations in the play, and
they were well produced by the cast,
which is composed of very able artists.
Mrs. Cyril Norman, who appears as
Mary Brand, is an actress of marked
ability. She is a strikingly handsome
woman, has a clear voice, and sustained
her role in a very acceptable manner.
The cast throughout was well placed
and the performance gave general satis
faction." Car-Loada of Fish, Oystera and Eggs.
The big catch of fish made by Mr.
Walter Willis, of Morehead City, a few
days ago, netted him $281.25, says the
Beaufort Herald. There were about
three and a half tons of the fish. The
Herald says it was the largest catch
ever known to have been caught around
there with one seine at one haul.
The largest cargo of perishable freight
(with the exception of truck) that ever
went out of Newbern, says the Journal,
was taken out by the steamer Neuse, of
the E. C. D. line yesterday. It consisted
of fresh fish, clams, oysters and eggs.
There was over a hundred tons of them.
Among the lot was seven solid car-loads
from Morehead City.
Business Failure at Burgaw.
Mr. J. T. Collins, an old and hereto
fore prosperous merchant of Burgaw, N.
C, made an assignment yesterday. The
liabilities are estimated at $2,600; assets
about the same. Preferences amount to
$1,100. Mr. Bruce William is assignee.

Mr. L.
N. Odell'a Fatal Ascension
et
Washington, IS. C.
The Newbern Journal oi the 20th inst
says :
We learn that Mr. L. N. Odell, an
aeronaut of the Grace Shannon Com
pany, was killed in making an ascension
at Washington, N. C, yesterday.
The balloon burst after it left the
eround. and when it did Mr. Odell cut
the parachute loose, but sufficient height
had not been attained for it to open.
The unfortunate man struck the ground
while falling rapidly and his body was
badly broken up.
The news was brought to Newbern
last night by a drummer who was in
Washington at the time the accident oc
curred, early in the afternoon.
The Grace-Shannon Company are well
known in Wilmington.
They gave ascensions at Hilton and at
Wrightsville in the summers of 1891 and
1892. Both Prof. Odell and his wife
made successful aerial flights with bal
loon and parachute.
