Mrs. Roll, of New Jersey, could stand the eccentricities of. her hus band, who was a milk-man, but when he persisted in running an alarm clock at the head of her bed, which disturbed the baby s morning nap, she concluded it was time to kick and apply for a divorce. Babies have rights that even a milk -man ought to respect. In distributing hair nature seems to have been partial to the fair haired mortal, to whom, according to a German hairologist who has been doing the counting, she -has given 140.000 to cover his scalp, to the 109,000 she gave the brown-haired 103,000 to the black-haired, while the red head has to scuffle along with a beggarly 90,000. The Goldsboro Argus celebrated its ninth anniversary last Saturday and for the occasion put on a brand new suit.

The Sanitary Conference in Paris I has drafted a plan of joint action by " European Governments to prevent j , the spread of cholera from Asia, by confining it to its breeding grounds.

Boston Commercial Bulletin, April 7th: In actual cotton there has been more doing both on spot and for ship ment lrom the South. Spinners both great and small have been buying. Some mills are reported as having taken 2.000 or 3,000 bales. The market is firmer. Strict middling upland could not be landed under 8 cents or less than 6 cents for gulf. Stocks are being steadily reduced and the export buying con tinues. The probabilities that there will be a oinch in the Summer are be coming more prominent. It is notice able that where the supply is largest. Liverpool, is where the strongest conn dence prevails in the future of the market. MOM! WILMINGTON, N. C TUESDAY, LOCAL, DOTS.

WHAT A FORMER TILLMAN SUP PORTER SAYS OF THE OUTLOOK. The Governor Flaying Desperate Game The Han Formica the Constabulary Baffiana and Deaperbd'oee The Dar lington A Haw Only One Move en the Chess Board. The New York Sun of the 6th instant gave the following as the result of an interview with a gentlemen who, while his picture may seem somewhat over drawn, evidently knows what he is talk ing about t 'This Darlington tragedy is not the end of the matter in South Carolina. It is the beginning. It is not merely an obstinate effort on the .part of Governor Tillman to enforce his obnoxious dis pensary law; it is a deep-laid political scheme, with Winchester rifles back of it, and the election of Tillman to Senator Butler's- seat next fall as its object. There are bad times in store for the Palmetto State." This is the prophecy of Mr. E, Motz, made last night to a Sun reporter, re garding the condition ot affairs in South I Carolina. Mr. Motz, who has lived in South Carolina for fifteen years, is half ! owner of the Brewer gold mine, having been a partner ot benator Hearst, ot Cal ifornia, who had an interest in the mjne. He is also the postmaster ot Brewer Mine, and a Republican in politics, al though he voted for Tillman when the latter first ran lor (governor. Mr. Motz arrived in the city yesterday, having come up from his home at Brewer Mine, in the northeast ot boutb Carolina, tie has studied the political situation care fully, and can see little but trouble in the future. 'In this fight," said he, "we are not combatting the dispensary law, although God knows that is obnoxious enough. It is the way that it is earned out, the con comitant outrages that we are fighting. The dispensary law originally was a sop to the Prohibitionists who elected Till man. They were not satisfied with the way it worked, and when the Governor's first term was over be made a plea for re-nomination on the ground that he hadn't bad a chance to try the law fairly. He was re-elected, and then he got his Legislature, which was merely a pocket; edition of a law-making ma chine that he carried in his pistol pocket ' to pass amendments to the law, one of wbich gve him the power to appoint special armed constables to an unlimited extent at' $2 a day and expenses. Then came the' law giving right of search in private houses without warrant. These two things combined formed the basis of the worst kind of outrages by the constabulary " - The men that tormed the constabu lary were ruffians and desperadoes. They were appointed because they were known to have killed their men. Now see what 'they proceeded to do. They went ahead to search private bouses ana private property in the hope ot finding what we call 'blind tigers.' A 'blind tiger is where liquor is sold clandes tinely, there are none in private houses; they are in drug stores or small notion stores. But Tillman sent his spies every one calls them spies there to search private houses. There were scores of outrages committed by these spies. Here are a couple of cases in point : in L-barieston tney Drone into a room where a woman was in confine ment, notwithstanding the protests ot the nurse. They ransacked the room, turned everything inside out, and finally departed, having found noth ing. vThe fright occasioned by their breaking in caused serious complica tions, and the sick woman was for a long time on the point of death. Another case not so serious, but iust as senseless, was in Sumter, where a Charleston woman was visiting some friends. She drove to their house from the station, leaving her trunk at the station to be sent on after ward. Some one told a spy that the trunk contained whiskey. He broke it open, tossed out all the clothes, turned things upside down; then, having found no whiskey, dumped the clothing, all muddled, back in. stamped it down and closed the trunk. The lady, who had previously sympathized with the Gover nor, is now strongly anti-1 Ulman. "Now, in regard to the Darlington tragedy, the trouble arose over a man named Floyd, whose brother is the dis pensary clerk there. Floyd himself kept a blind tiger, but he turned informant When the twenty spies arrived they were met by the mayor and the chief of police, who counselled them not to exercise the right of searching private houses, assur ing them that there were no blind tigers in the houses, lne spies tnen raiaea the blind tigers, one of them be ing at the hotel where a man named Rogers wis clerk. When the spies went back to the station Rogers went with them andjicalled Floyd a rascal and a traitor. - "J here was a fight and McLen don, the spy interferred. Rogers went on town abd meeting the Norment broth ers. returned with them. He and Floyd fouebt again and Chief of Police Dargan arrested them. In the course of his ex- olanation to the chief, Rogers said that McLendon had interferred to help Floyd. Frank Norment, who was sitting on a barrel said: "That's right, Rogers would have used him up only for that. 'You're a liar,' said McLedon to Nor ment. " 'You're a liar yourself,' retorted Nor ment. lumping down from the barrel. and as he spoke McLendon drew a pis tol, thrust it between the chief and Kogers, ana snot norment acau, ic point of his pistol being within four feet of bis baart, McLendon yelled: "Let her roll, boys," and the fight followed. All this was told me by an eye-witness. who was one of the few men on that platform who wasn't hurt, and it is the correct account of the affair. "Now, the people were not fighting Tillman s dispensary law there. They are not fighting it anywhere. They will not fight it. It is the outrageous and unconstitutional actions of the constables that we are fighting, and will continue to fight. This Darlington affair is only one move on the cness board ana nu man has plenty of other moves in reserve, . - . -I ' RATES APRIL 10. 1894. and we shall see them later. He is play ing a desperate game and staking every thing on his chances of winning. One must understand Tillman to under stand the situation. Tillman's politics are simply . Popwlistic Tillmainsm. He is a Populist, but he is for Tillman first, last and all the time. He is a dema gogue, and therefor a liar. He is also a Bully, and, like all bullies, something of a coward; but he has the pertinacity of a bull-dog. How. here is h as I and many others in South Carolina believe it to be: "His political chances are dwindling The Prohibitionists have fallen away from him. The mechanics have desert ed his standard. His one ambition in life is to be elected to Senator Butler's seat next tall. To do this he is contem plating a little private force bill of his own, with bis dispensary spies for intim idators at the polls. It is his only chance. Wherever he establishes a new dispensary there is a new electioneering post for Tillman's candidates. Now, he understands the temper of South Caro linians. He knows that they will not endure his armed spies searching their houses, and he will goad them into re sistance. You will find him causing up rising first in this place, then in that. Then by Fall, when election comes, and when the people are thoroughly exas perated, he will make some move that will, cause an uprising. There is his chance. Martial law will be declared. Tillman's dispensary spies will be at. the polls, and either Tillman's men will be elected or there will be a bloody tragedy. 'The newspapers there know this, but the editor who would publish it would do so with the knowledge that Winches ter rifles and pistols were loaded for him. 1 tell you lillman will stop at nothing. But unless I have read the people of South Carolina wrong, be will be de feated, even it every voter has to fight his way to the ballot box." 8peoial Service! at the Seamen' Bethel. There were two orthree features in the services at the Seamen's Bethel Sun day afternoon worthy of special notice. The pecular and animated appearance at the Bethel at the appoint ed hour was caused by the presence of the Wilmington Light Infantry, the company numbering about fifty men, in full uniform. Rev. Dr. Carmichael in vited the Rev. Mr. Black, late Senior Captain of the Second N. C. State Guard, to deliver the sermon. The re marks of the soldier preacher were based on the text: "Keep thy heart with all diligence, ,for out of it are the issues of life." The heart was repre sented as a citadel, requiring the guarding of the out-posts, which were the eyes, ears, mouth, hands and feet. If outposts were guarded . the heart would be safe from the attacks of the enemy. So earnest and instructive was the preacher that a deep and lasting im pression was the result. The music was very inspiring. Miss Belle Anderson presided at the organ and Mrs. McFar land, Mrs. Muse, Capt. Metts and Mr. Woodward sang "Rock of Ages," and with the aid of Miss Everett and Miss Home led the congregation in singing "Hold the Fort," "Onward Go" and "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name." The Bethel was- filled to its full ca pacity, and it was decidedly one of the best meetings ever held there. Sunday Wee tings of the V. M. C. A. The Sunday meetings of the Y. M. C. A. were carried out in accordance with the programme. The Consecration meeting at a.au a. m., was not largely attended, but was a pleasant and spirited occasion to those present. The meeting for the railroad men, conducted at 2.80 p. m., by Capt. Morris (conductor on the R. & D. R. R.) was not large but resulted in the con version of four persons before the close of the meeting. At 4.45 there was a very large attend ance of men to bear the address of Evan gelist Rev. W. R. Gales on the topic -The Unsolved Problem," This meet ing on account of Its size, had to be held in- the auditorium. The evangelist pre sented his subject in such an earnest and impressive manner that a number of those present manifested and expressed a desire to become Christians. Adjourned. The State Convention of the Y, M. C. A. adjourned on Sunday night at 10.30 o'clock and the delegates have re turned to their homes. The different Congregations of the city assembled in the First Baptist church at 9.30 o'clock to witness the closing services which were very impressive, especially when the del egates, members of the Wilmington as sociation. and ministers, formed the Circle of Fraternity and joined hands all around the four inner sides of the church building. Strawberry Shipment, The Star learns that about 250 crates of strawberries were shipped from points on the Wilmington and Weldon Rail road yesterday. Dr, Porter, of Rocky Point, has been shipping several days, and realizing about forty cents per quart for berries that were by no means first-class. In consequence of the un lavorable weather, the berries shipped thus far have generally been of interior quality. " Enlarged and Improved Weldon News.

A Thousand Mile ;Baoe Between Trains Over the Allan tlo Coaat Una and the Biohmond and Danville Route. The Florida Times-Union of Saturday gives the annexed report of an exciting railroad race between rival lines. It appears that the R. & D. claims a victory; but, read by the light of The Morning Star, it seems from the accounts given by both sides that it was the "other fellows" who won: When the Savannah. Florida and Western and Atlantic Coast Line and the Florida Central and Peninsular and the Richmond and Danville announced some days ago that each would run a through hotel help train from Jackson ville to New York, leaving on Thursday and at the same hour and within a few minutes of each other, all the railroad men in Jacksonville and along the two lines clear to the destination, knew that it was going to be a race, a race for a thousand miles and a race for blood. Just before the race there flashed out orders from the dispatcher's office in both railroads to have the track cleared, to sidetrack evervthinp for the hntl help specials, and they did it, and the two trains went through screaming. . iwr.u x r". and K. & U. bad the advantage of a line thirty-eight miles shorter than the S., F. & W. and Atlan tic Coast Line and saved twelve milM more by not runmne into Savannah. having an engine in waiting at the junc tion, ine s.. f. & vv. put in to Savan nah and spent fifteen minutes there for dinner. The two trains were neck and neck all the way up to Washington. Thursday night a special from Washington said : S., F. & W. arrived at 9.15 and left at 9.29. R. & D arrived at 9.19 and left at 9.48." Yesterday afternoon another special came from New York with the announce ment that the bavannah, Florida and Western arrived at 3.20 and the Rich mond and Danville at 3.45. The time of leaving of the Savannah, Florida and Western train from this city was 10.15 and tye Florida Central and Peninsular left at 10.36. The time of the Savannah- Florida and Western between this city and New York was twenty-eight hours and twenty minutes, and that of the Richmond and Danville and Florida Central and Peninsular twenty-eight hours and twenty-four minutes. There were just four minutes difference in the time spent on the road between the two trains, and that was in favor of the Sa vannah, Florida and Western, consider ing the thirty-eight miles longer haul was greater than that of its rival. It was a close race, and one of the most excit ing ever run in the world. The actual running time of the trains was overlorty miles an hour. Both railroads run help trains out ah th llth-rand it is whispered around tnat it IS to be another race (or more blood. R. ft D. CLAIMS A BEAT. The Richmond and Danville says that the Atlantic Coast Line failed to go into the Broad street station in Philadelphia, but went around the city, thus saving thirty minutes. The Florida Central and Penninsular also says it was compelled to wait twenty minutes for a drawbridge on the Satilla river. The Richmond and Danville figures out that its train occu pied only one minute less on the road that the train of the Atlantic Coast Line, taking into consideration its delay at the Satilla and in entering Philadelphia. It gives the following figures. Richmond and Danville left Jacksonville 10.86 a. m.; S.. F. & W. left at 10.12. Richmond and Danville arrived in New York at 3.45 p. m.; S F. & W. arrived at 3.20 p. m. This is a difference on the road of only one minute. The Richmond and Danville claims a beat of over a half hour. RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED At the Closing Beuion ot the T M. C A. Convention. The following resolution, reported by the committee, was adopted : Whereas, railroad men who form so large a body in themselves are not only absent from their home and home influ ences most of the time, but at the same time are surrounded by all manner of strong temptations; and whereas, rail road men have been blessed in leading railroad men into right living, Be it resolved. That the State Com mittee be urged to extend their work among railroad men as soon as the way is clear. Second. That the ofheers of the city associations tbat have railroad men as members be urged to hold accasional meetings especially for railroad men.
