W e are in receipt of number 5 of The Book of the Fair," issued by Bancroft Company of Chicago, 111. This is a superb number, and is a gem in execution, pictonally and otherwise. The engravings look more like highly finished photo graphs than prints. These with the descriptive history accompanying them make these books not only ex ceedingly attractive as works of art, but historically valuable. Some people can't help being Job's comforters; it's born in 'em. Here comes a fellow just about the time the country is beginning to get to gether after the financial shake-up, and predicts that about six years hence this earth will collide with a comet and be smashed all to pieces But there are lots ot people who be lieve this world is going to smash anyhow without any comet. Dr. Gatlin, the ex-North Carolin ian, who by the invention of his death-dealuig war guns has made, killing men so easy, predicts that there will be one more big war among civilized nations, which will b in Europe, and this will be the 4ast, as nations cannot afford with the life-destroyiag implements now at command to mow each other down, and will settle their disputes in some other way. Senator Voorhees is opposed to increasing the tax on beer, as it is "one of the tew luxuries a poor man enjoys." When the Senator arrived at fhis conclusion he was not oblivi ous ot the fact that there are a good many brewery patronizing sovereigns out in his section of the country and that an increase in the beer - tax might brew trouble to somebody. A tariff for revenue and a tariff to kill votes are two different kinds of insti tutions. A Secret Service Inspector in St. Louis has discovered that it is not the bucolic denizen only who nibbles at the "green-goods" bait, but that among 1 ,800 writers to the green goods men, whose letters came into his hands were many physicians, lawyers and other professional men. The only professions that didn't figure were the minister and the editor. Ministers have no use for money and editors as a rule make enough of it without investing in green goods stock. The Czar of Russia said In a re "Ul pcecu tnac nis ambition was to live in history as the "Peasant Em- peror," for his "greatest ambition is to keep the peasantry of Russia from starving."

The impression, which seems to prevail to some extent, that the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railway Com pany has been placed in the hands of a Receiver is erroneous. A Receiver has been appointed for the North state Im provement Company which, though closely allied with the former, is a sep arate corporation. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.

JOSEPH S. WILLIAMS DEAD. - Died Last Friday at Middletown, Conn. A Well Known Citizen of WilmiEgton for Many Yean. The Middletown. Conn., Herald of the 20th inst. gives the following particulars of the death of Mr. Joseph S. Williams, who was a resident of Wilmington for many years, where he was engagtd in the dry goods business. Before leaving here he inherited a large fortune from relatives at the North.

Indications of a Bevival of Business at Hand. Spring trade has its beginnings in January, says the New York World, and the indications among merchants and manufacturers are that it is beginning hopefully this year, During the Fall the World several times pointed out that no revival ot business was to be expected until thjs month. The Fall trade was destroyed by the Senate's prolonged inaction on the silver-repeal bill. When repeal was at last accomplished it was too late for that season, and there was nothing for merchants and manufacturers to do ex cept wait for the Spring demand. Meantime stocks of goads have run low and consumers have done, without as long as they can. . The demand for the Spring may be somewhat limited by the general losses of the past year, but there are .necessities which must be met, and with more 'active, business the ability and disposition of all classes to consume more freely must steadily in crease. ., . : f ' There is no indication of a "boom" at present, but there is scarcely a doubt that the country will witness a healthy revival of legitimate trade, already begun and destined to increase as the year grows older. Miss Ollie Torbett the Violinist. The New York Jferald says of Miss Ollie Torbett, the superb violinist who appears here next Friday night : A young girl in a fleecy cream-colored dress, and with a half-frightened smile, was the only person who aroused the audience from its stupor. It was the violin soloist, Miss Ollie Torbett. She played an Andante by David and a Con certo by De Beriot with good execution. The sextette of gentlemen accompany ing Miss Torbett, has a wide reputation on both continents. The price of admission will be only fifty cents. Qold Wave Betarded. While the cold wave in the Northwest is still holding on in that section, the Weather Bureau says its movement eastward will be somewhat retarded by the approach of the low barometer from the Southwest. The weather is rather unsettled and threatening in the South west, from which direction bad weather may be expected in the course of two o three days. A Drummer's Fake. Although a "drummer" saw it, accord; ing to the Newbern Journal o an earlier date, that paper now says: We are glad to know that there was no balloon accident at Washington. Prof, Odeli of the Grace Shannon Company (the same one which is to operate at the wewbern fair) made no ascension until Friday and then gave a beautiful one."

Fuller for Murder Set f or T Tlmriday Able Xawyera in Attendance as Counsel in the Case. . - -Special Star Correspondence FAYETTEVILLE, N. C., JaiL 23. All ears with reference to the run on the Bank of Fayetteville have subsided. The results of yesterday's business shows an excess of $5,000 of receipts over and above all disbursements, and 'nothing j occurred to indicate any suspicion on the part of any business man of Fayette- ville that the assignments of 'the mem bers of the North State Improvement Company would in any wise affect the solvency of the Bank. The character oi the management and lat assurance from the committee appointed to investi gate its condition, tbat the Baak was in actual possession of four dollrrs of good assets to every dollar of liability was sufficient to allay all apprehensions, and at this wnting all Is serene. -?? SUPERIOR COURT. E. J. Fuller, charged with the murder ot B. C. Parker, was arraigned this morning in Cumberland Superior Court. and pursuant to the action of the Grand Jury at the November term in finding a bill of murder, a special venire ot two hundred men was ordered, from which ! to select a jury for the trial of xhe case; and Thursday morning, the 25th nst., at 11 o'clock was designated as the time for the opening of the case and the commencement of the trial. Dr. W, C. McDuffie, the important witness for the defence, whose absence was noted in your issue of this date, arrived this af ternoon, and hence the case will be tried at this term of the court, provideded a jury can be had from the special venire ot 200 men. Otherwise, the -case will probably go over to the May term'. Judge Thos. C. Fuller, of Raleigh, a distant relative of the accused, is here, and was present to-day at Court. He will probably remain until the case is disposed of. His son, Mr. W. W. t uller, of Durham, is one of the coun sel for the defendant. CoL T. M. Argo. chief assistant to the Solicitor, is also here. Able lawyers having been retained on both sides, the present case will be one of the most interesting tbat was ever tried before a Cumberland countyjury. b.. I. Fuller, the defendant was in Court to-day, and appeared cheerful and hope ful, and in good physical condition, la all probability the plea in his behalf will be "self-defence. H. EYE. Your correspondent requests a correc tion of the statement contained in the report yesterday that the estate of the late Mr. Julius A. Gray was involved ia the assignment made by the Directors of the-North State Improvement CoVThis I am informed is an error. 1 would also call attention to a typo graphical error in the report of assets and liabilities of the North State Im provement Company. The amount due the Bank of Fayetteville is $30,000, in stead of $39,000 as stated. There was an error also in your tele gram from ML Airy, announcing the death of Mr. Wilson Fulton. It was stated tbat he was a director and stock holder of the C. F. & Y. V. R. R. This I learn from an authentic source is an error. While Mr. Fulton was a member of the North State Improvement Com pany, be was never at any time, either a director or stockholder of the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley Railroad Co. Grove of Druids. On the night of January 22, 1894, a Grove ot the United Ancient Order ot Druids was organized in this city with forty-two charter members. The Grove will be instituted in February by the Su preme Arch of the World. The iollow ing were elected officers of the Grove : Geo. Ziegler, S. P. A.; A. J. Marshall, N. A.; G. W. Bornemann, V.

STATEMENT FROM PRESIDENT LASH. President Lash, President of the Cape ; Fear and Yadkin Valley B. B. Makes a ; Statement. Dr. W. A. Lash, President of the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railway Com pany made this statement to a corres pondent ot the Charlotte Observer, at Greensboro, Monday: "The action of the United Brethren of Salem was precipitated by suits brought against the company in other parts of the State. The debt due by the North State Improvement Company ac crued in the construction of the Cape Fear& Yadkin Valley Railroad. The amount realized from the sale ot first mortgage bonds was not sufficient to meet the cost of construction, and was carried without any trouble until the panic of last summer and fall. ?Some of the creditors demanded their money during this time, and of course we could not pay it. This made them uneasy and this has culminated in the receivership. I notice a statement in the press of the State that the Cape Fear& Yadkin Valley Railroad Com pany had gone into the bands of a re ceiver also, and that the amount of the debt owed by the NorthlState Improve rcent Company was (650,000. I want to sly that the total liabilities of the com pany are far less than this, and further that the amount owed outside ot what is due to the members of the syndicate, Who own and control the company, is less than $335,000. Its assets at a low valuation are worth a million and a half. and at a fair valuation properly handled will brine much more than this. The Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley Railroad Company is not in the hands of a re ceiver and is not affected by this receiv ership."

White Caps figure in it, and there are other laminar parts, inearcnvn lain, the honest lover, the sweet, inno cent maiden, the defeat of the villain's machinations, the triumph of the honest lover and his marriage to the sweet maiden are all well portrayed by a com petent company.

Meeting of Directors, Superintendents and Visitors Last Night. A meeting of the directors, superin tendents and visitors of the Associated Charities was held last evening at St. James' Home. The society was shown to be in very good working order. It has in the treasury about $575.00. and has rendered aid to 375 persons in the way of sup port, food, clothing, wood, etc. Some very interesting speeches were made by the Rev. Mr. Strange, Messrs. J. C. Stevenson. Col. Roeer Moore. Dr. Bullock and others. The ladies talked freely of their work in their various fields, as visitors and superintendents. It was shown that the citizens of Wil mington had been learfuily imposed upon by unworthy beggars, but that this is now a thing of the past. Many suggestions were made bv the ladies as to the mode of conducting the work. They propose to establish a sewing and a cooking school' at the old Court House or some other central location, where girls may be taught the arts of sewing and cooking. Plans were also suggested for obtain ing work for both males and females. The society is certainly a great relief, not only to the suffering poor oi the city but to the charitably disposed, who for fear of turning off those who were really needy, have often rendered aid to some who beg from store to store and door to door, who were unworthy.
