It is said that Gen. Fitzhugh Lee has declined the mission to Sweden which was tendered him, as he is en gaged in writing a work on the life his uncle Robert E.

The Legislature of Virginia isn't raking any rash chances on the pas sage of a dog law, but as it is dis posed to be accommodating it grants every county that asks it permission to fix the dog business up for itself The State lunatic asylum at Har risburg. Pa., is so crowded that many patients have to be kept in the almshouses. When we saw the re turns ot last i uesaay s election we thought there must be a surplus of lunatics in Pennsylvania. -A. Boston doctor has discovered that the word blizzard originated among seafaring men, but the genuine thing itself originates mainly in the Dakotas. When they have more of it there than they can accommodate they turn it loose. The Legislature of Massachusetts has abolished the day of fasting and prayer, which since the days of the Pur'tans was one of the institutions of that State until it was tamed into' aday of jollification by the descend ants of the Puritans and others, who preferred feasting to fasting. There are said to be 117,000 people out of work in the city of Chicago, the majority of whom have to be fed by charity Many of these were doubtless drawn to that city with the expectation of getting work when the Fair buildings were being con structed and the grounds laid out, and stuck there. If you haven't already had the grip and are afraid you'll miss it you had better run and catch it now, if you attach any importance to the prediction of Dr. Cyrus Edson, of New York, who says that it will soon disappear, not to return for a genera tion. It is now on its farewell tour, or tear, as you choose to put it. Mr. B. F. Jones, a Republican, and one of the largest iron and steel manufacturers of Pittsburg, says the Wilson bill will not hurt the iron business of his State half as much as uncertainty and delay will, and while he does not like ihe bill he hopes the Republican Senators will put no ob structions in the way of its speedy passage. Judge Ewing, of Pittsburg, con cluded that the best way to break up rioting in his bailiwick was to send as many as he could of the Mansfield rioters to the penitentiary. He ac cordingly sentenced forty-nine of them one day last week to terms ranging from one month to two years and a half. To the boss Anarchist of the crowd he gave the longest term. One day last week the Pittsburg Coal Exchange passed a resolution favoring the retention of the bounty on sugar on the ground that Louisi ana planters bought Pennsylvania coal. We suppose that if the Louisi ana planters bought twice as much coal, this coal exchange would be in favor of giving them twice as much bounty. They are playing it sweet with the sugar men. P E VOL.

Becord of Observations for tbo Month, of March fop Twenty-Three Years, The Chief of the Weather Bureau directs the publication of the fallowing data, compiled from the record of ob servations for the month of March, taken at this station for a period of tweiuy three years. It is believed that the tacts thus set forth will prcve of interest to the public, as well as the special student, showing as ibey do the average and extreme condi tions of the more important meteorologi cal elements and the range within which such variations may be expected to keep during any corresponding month. - Mean or normal temgerature, 51; the warmest March was that of 1878, with an average of 60; the coldest March was that of 1872, with an average of 48; the highest temperature during any March was 84 on 24th, 1878; the lowest tem perature during any March was 20 on 5th, 1873; average date on which last "killing" frost occurred (in spring) March 30th, 1873. Average precipitation for the month (rain and melted snow), 4.17 inches; av erage number of days with .01 of an inch or more, 11. The greatest monthly pre cipitation was 6.55 inches in 1871; the least monthly precipitation was 1.48 inches in 1887. The greatest amount of precipitation recorded in any 24 con secutive hours was 4.75 inches on March 27th. 1882 Average number of cloudless days, 12; average number of partly cloudy days. 10; average number of cloudy days, 9. The prevailing winds have been from the soulbwest. The highest velocity of the wind during any March was 54 miles on the 17th, 1876. NEWBERN NOTES. Snow in Newborn Steamer Neuae Grounded Removal of Fair Exhibits The New Foetmiater. Newbern, N. C, February 26. Sat urday morning the weather here com menced getting cold and cloudy, with a strong northeast wind, and by night the thermometer was lower than it has been this winter. Before day yesterday morning we had a blinding snow storm, lasting till 8 a. m. Then rain continued all day. and the three or four inches of snow was melted aay. The steamer Neuse, from Elizabeth City, due here at 8 a. m. yesterday, did not arrive until 3 p. m. She grounded at Roanoke Island during the storm Saturday night. Except the delay but little damage was sustained. Most ot tne exhibits at tne v air were gotten away Saturday. A few of the visitors are still here. Mr. Matt Manly, Newbern's new post master, is expected to lake charge of the office this week. Damaged by Water. The goods of a number of merchants both wholesale and retail, were damaged considerably by water Sunday when the heavy snow on the roof-tops began to melt, ana the injury in many instances was great. The snow had blocked the drain pipes running from the roofs and when rain began falling it melted the snow and created a small pond on many business houses. Among the heaviest losers were Messrs. R. W. Hicks, Worth & Worth, Gleaves Hardware Company, M. Bear Bros.. F. Rheinstein & Co., P. Heinsberger, Wilmington Paper Com pany and Davis & Zoeller. Those who discovered It Sunday had men at work shovelling the snow off. NINO N. C. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1894. what Will the crop bep Hubbr3, Price Co. Bull Stand by Their Figure They Do not Expect More Than 7,100,000 Bales Some Figures on Fertiliser Bales. The following is the latest review of cotton sent out by Hubbard, Price & Co.: It is an old saying that a thunder storm clears the atmosphere, and gener al zation in the application of this idea permits reference to it in connection with cotton market during the past week. The trade had fallen into a condition ot utter stagnation. Flnctuations until Monday night were within a limit of from four to five, points and were not representative of' any fresh influence. Since that time, however, there has been, considering the price at which the ar ticle is selling, a sharp decline, and as a result the market seems to rest upon a more satisfactory basis. The weakly held long cotton has been closed out; the liquidation of the March position is complete; and those who have sold have parted with their property to buyers ot unquestioned financial strength, one very prominent concern in the New York market having been very large buyers on Tuesday. As is always the case under such conditions, the short in terest has been augmented and will be come an effective fulcrum upon which to use the leverage of a bull movement when the trend of the market shall have changed. Receipts thus far are perhaps a little larger than bad been expected for the week. This is due no doubt to the slight increase in the sales of spot cot ton resulting Irom the same weariness on the part of the bulls that has induced the liquidation in futures. The tear ot another attempt to lllegalize trading in cotton for future delivery by the intro duction of Mr. Hatch's Anti-Option Bill in the House ot Representatives has. too, perhaps, been a deterrent to buyers. Tne feeling, though, in the trade with regard to the matter is one of apparent security, relying as it does upon President Cleveland s veto and upon senatorial obstruction to secure immunity to the trade from any such demagogic nonsense. The compara tively small takings of the English spin ner, as shown from day to day by the sales of spot cotton in the Liverpool market, is really the main reason for the decline that has developed, and any re vival of demand in that quarter will doubtless be met onlv at higher prices. The new crop and its possioihties are already coming to. be a factor in the situation, and in this connection it is in teresting to know that the consumption of fertilizers will probably be substan tially less than last year. Baltimore and Richmond are two of the great fertilizer manufacturing centres ot this country. From these cities the product is dis tributed to the cotton fields ot the South A canvass ot the trade in Baltimore in dicates that the demand is poor and the output decidedly less than at the same time last year. In Kicnmond representa tive dealers say that their sales thus far are about 80 per cent of what they were this time in 1893 In many of the Southern States a tax is laid upon the fertilizers sold, and in South Carolina the tax records show that thus far this season 53.000 tons have been sold, against 58,000 for the same time last year. In Alabama the State tax paid thus far is $14,000. against $24,000 for the same time in 1893. The Commissioner of Agriculture for North Carolina writes us as follows: "The far mers of this State are buying fertilizers very cautiously, and the sales are evi dently less than they were a year ago My opinion is that the sale of fertilizers in this state will be decidedly less than last year. The net crop movement for the week will probably be 25 000 bales less than for the corresponding week last year, and by the first of March the movement will in all probability be 235.000 bales behind the movement up to the same time in 1890, when the crop turned out 7,311,000 bales. This, in our opinion, abundantly confirms for us our estimate of 7,100,000, for we cannot believe that the crop movement from the first of March wili be as large as it was in 1890. Ihe export movement is already 927,000 bales larger than it was up to this time last year, and the proba bility of a very light supply during the bummer seems to be growing stronger, The visible supply is commencing to show a weekly reduction, and if the trade revival, which is unquestionably in progress in Europe, shall with the pas sage of the Wilson bill by the Senate cross the ocean and commence in Amer ica. active times may be expected. In view of this contingency the develope ments of the next crop should be closely watched. Complimentary The friends of Rev. Dr. Peschau here will read with pleasure the annexed paragraph from the Greensburg, Pa, Press: "Rev. F. W. E. Peschau, D. D., pastor of Zion Lutheran church of this city will on to-morrow (Sunday), close the first vear of his pastorate here.

Dr. Peschau is not only an able minister of the gospel but a very earnest man. and he is greatly beloved by his parishioners." First Anniversary.

WALTER L- PARSLEY'S SAW-MILL PLANT DESTROYED. Iioss Estimated at 930,000 -Insurance, $13,500-Large Crowds Witness the Conflagration-The Fire Department Responds Promptly to tbe Alarm. Fire was discovered yesterday morn ing at 9.30 o'clock in the northwest cor ner of Walter L. Parsley's saw-mill plant, in the extreme northern suburbs of tbe city. It was discovered by work men employed on the premises, and an alarm was immediately turned in, which was promptly answered by the Fire De partment, which in a comparatively short time, considering the distance, was upon tbe scene. At this time the entire flooring and planing mill was in a complete blaze and the fire had gained much headway. The C. F. & Y. V. railraad passenger steamboat Compton was soon landed at one of the wharves and was playing two streams on the flames, that were being blown high into the air by the wind which was blow- ng a regular northeast gale. The tug Marie, under Capt. Edgar Williams, was also on band putting in good work with her streams of water. The fire originated from a spark from the mill which flew into the two story planing mill. The flames went from there to the two-story lumber shed, thence to the boiler room and engine house, and then destroyed the three arge dry-kilns. The above buildings were burned to the ground, and now not a vestige is lett. the omce was at stroyed, and a residence back ot the office was badly scorched and also dam aged by water. The office turniture was mostly saved. The fire continued burning until about 6 o clock and last night a body ot hremen were stationed at the mill to prevent it rekindling or as a safe-guard. The fire men did very fine work under the cir cumstances, as the beat and smoke was intense. They succeeded in saving much other property. Two box cars were on the dummy line track, one loaded with lumber and another partly loaded. There were four others there. but these were pulled out and saved One of those lost belonged to the S. I. C. I. R. R. and the other to the Central R. R. ol Georgia. The mill properwas not injured, owing to the wind blowing in the opposite direction. There was altogether about six hundred thousand feet ot lumber lost mostly cedar, juniper and pine flooring. The loss is estimated at $30,000, and insurance about $13 500 Several alarms were turned in and large crowds gathered on the high bluffs to witness the progress of the flames, which was a beautiful sight. It was only about three years ago that there was another large fire on the same spot, tbe planing mill having been burned then, but the loss was lighter than that cf vesterday. The firm was then Parsley & Wiggins. The following is the insurance : The insurance on that portion of the plant which was entirely destroyed, amounted to $13,500, divided among the following agencies : $1,000 with Hanover Insur ance Company, represented by Major Walker Taylor's Agency; American of New York, $600, St. Paul. $1,000, with J. H. Boatwright ; Lion, $750, National $750, with W. W. Harriss & Co.; Vir ginia State, $500, with Joseph D. Smith; Phcenix, $1,000, London. $1,000, with W, W. Hodges; Palatine, $687, Southern, $1, 000,Niagara,$l.OOO,Virginia Fire and Ma rine, $l,000.with M. S.Willad. The above was on the flooring mills &c. The fol lowing is the insurance on the dry kilns: Virginia Fire and Marine $666, with M. S. Willard; North Carolina Home, $500, tna. $500, Hart ford, $500, Orient, $500, with Atkinson and Son. The residence adjoining the mill, which is occupied by Mr. Walter Rutland and owned by Mr, Walter L. Parsley, was insured for $1,500, but was only slightly damaged by heat and wa ter. The destroyed property will be re built. Permanent Fair Association. In response to a suggestion in the Star of Sunday, that "a permanent Fair Association should be organized In Wilmington;" and the inauiry. "What say the business men?" there was much favorable comment yesterday. Many merchants who were approached by a Star representative yesterday said they would either take stock or subscribe liberally to an association of that kind. One merchant signified his willingness to take five shares at a hundred dollars each, and another said he would subscribe one hundred dollars outright. Those who attended tbe Newbern Fair are enthusi astic, and say that Wilmington, with her advantages, should be able to support a permanent Fair if our sister city, New bern, can do it, and make money, too. by the operation. A list will be circu lated in a few days by some of the enter prising merchants to give those who wish a chance to subscribe or take stock. m m "The cry is still they come" that is. the orders for the Stoddard Portfolios of Photographs. TAR WHOLE NO. 8,374 Bunday School Entertainment.
