A head line in a Western paper announces that the "Death of the Dutch Troops at Labok Was Seri ous;" The aforesaid troops evi dently didn't take it for a joke. Hon. Chauncey M. Depew is of the opinion that Grover Cleveland will the Democratic candidate for President in 1S0G. If this should be so it will give Chauncey another chance to vote for the "typical American," which he did not avail himself of in 1S92. Judge Tourgee wears a glass eye which looks so natural that it is hard to distinguish it from the other eye. That glass eye is the most genuine thing about him. It is a French eye, too. He has 'em made in Paris. That's not the eye he sees those Southern outrages with. "He uses a multiplying, mag nifying glass for that. The outlook is getting somewhat hazey for "Willie" Breckinridge out in the Ashland district. He had a rousification meeting in Paris the other day and instead of the 5,000 people whjm he expected to wel come him, there were not more than five hundred to hear his speech. He has dropped his defiant tone and come down to the pleading, begging style. yWith the issue of this week the Goldsboro Headlight entered upon its eighth year, and, we are glad to learn, "with brighter prospects than ever." Editor Roscower is a hustler, who runs a dragnet for news, hews to the line when he writes, and always makes the Headlight interesting. As a local and a party paper it deserves well of . the people for whom it is published. "For the first time in her history," says the Atlanta Journal, "Georgia will have corn for sale to the outside world the coming Fall." When this becomes the rule, instead of the ex ception, in Georgia and in other Southern States, Dixie will have climbed about three-fourths ot the rungs on the ladder of permanent prosperity. Coiton is good enough, as far as it goes, but corn and grass are kings. The smoke from the Western for est fires is so dense on the lakes that navigation is exceedingly difficult. In some portions of New England it is necessary to light lamps in the day time. These clouds of smoke sometimes travel great distances. In 1870 when there were extensive forest fires in the West the volumes of smoke and dust were carried out on the Atlantic ocean, and were seen half way over to Africa. The Bulletin, for August, of the North Carolina Board of Health, -quotes a physician of long experi ence as saying that a good many people "would rather die than bo their drinking water." We heard man say once that boiling water "killed" it. There are some peopl who enjoy the flavor that wiggl tails and colonies of microbes impart to water, and when that is removed from it by boiling it tastes fiat and "dead." There are a good many that kind of people in the cemeteries, victims of unboiled water. Lord Roseberry is quoted as say ing that when he first became trou bled with sleeplessness he was del uged with cures, but of all offered he found the one easiest to take and the most effective to be a tumbler of hot water sipped just before retiring. After that he could tumble into bed and sleep like a coal-heaver. According to population the city of Milwaukee consumes more beer than any other city in America. Last year she got outside of 2,500,000 barrels, to 2,800,000 for Chicago, which has six times as many people. But Milwaukee has one decent ex cuse. She makes the best beer in America. While Hon. W. L. Wilson, ot West Virginia, is in Europe, Hon. Tom Reed, of Maine, vill do some can vassing for him. Tom will make some high tariff, Republican speeches, but the more of that kind he makes and the heavier he piles it on the more votes he will make for Wilson The renomination of Governor Waite by the Populist convention has split the party in Colorado. A party which was fool enough to twice nominate a lunatic ought to be shiv ered as well as split. The Atlanta Journal remarks that "Georgia has no droughts, no forest fires, no severe heat and no killing cold?" It would be rough on Georgia if she had all or any of these and Tom Watson at the same time. Russia is sending a squadron into Corean waters to protect Russian trade. That means to say Russian in terests present and prospective. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Opera House The Operator. H. I. Bennett Grand opening, J. H. REHDER & Co. Suits to order. LOCAL DOTS.

The feature of the week has been the continued im provement in general trade throughout the United States, especially in the cot ton goods department of the dry goods trade, where the sales are on such a scale as to create a very happy leeling among merchants, and to reduce the stocks of goods on hand so sharply, that it is expected the Fall River mills will reopen their works on September 17th, at the old rate of wages, and that the reduction in the stock of print cloths will have been accomplished at satisfac tory prices to manufacturers. Crop accounts have not been of the same even tenor as of late, and some reports of damage have been received, based upon the effect of the recent rains, which in many States li.-.vv caused shedding and rust, but the iniury is not thought to have been greater than the usual August depreciation in the condi tion of cotton. Upon receipt of these advices the market has advanced from the low point recorded early in the week, some sixteen points, upon the covering of the local interest, but it has not attracted any general trade as yet to cotton. It is repeated in almost every newspaper throughout the country, that the cotton crop promises to be an ex ceedingly large one, and it will require a very severe iniury to the plant to check these reports, which find circula tion in every district. Upon these reports are based the re cent improvements in Southern railway stocks and securities, which have ad vanced materially and the holders ot them are strong believers in the yield of cotton for the ensuing year. The trade expects the Bureau report on the 10th to show a falling off in con dition of from 6 to 8 per cent, from the report on the 10th of August. This is about the usual reduction, and if the re port is issued upon this basis, the figures wilt show a condition of about 83 per cent, against 72 per cent, last season. This, together with the increase in the acreage, will, we think, have the effect of corroborating the views of those who have anticipated a large increase in the yield of cotton this season: but it must not be forgotten that the crop is not yet made, and it is subject to the contingen cies of a late frost, which would mate rially injure the plant. There is a slight increase in the vol ume of the receipts as compared with last season, but not sufficient to cause any sharp selling of the market, as the trade are timid at the price to remain upon the short side of cotton. This is a change in the sentiment from that which has existed during the past four months, and deserves serious considera tion on the part of those who look for a further decline in cotton, as the supply of cotton must now come from the re ceipts at the ports and the sales ot con tracts against purchases by spinners and exporters' agents in the South. There is, also, a feeling growing among all sections of the country that it is not safe to be short of anything this season on the gradual improvement in trade which is visibkon every side. On the other hand, it should be said that there appears to be good reason for the estimate of a large crop of cotton, and the movement of the crop as estimated by prominent authorities for the month of September is expected to be largely in excess ot last year and vear before, in both of which seasons the movement during September was light. A feature of the movement of the crop is the freedom with which cotton is being sold in Texas as it is being picked, creating an impression that farmers are perfectly willing to realize upon their crops at present prices, and to accept ruling rates because of their belief in the ultimate yield of the crop. In short the situation is changed since our last letter to the extent that there is not in existence the same bearish senti ment as then prevailed, and this senti ment is based upon the improvement in business. On the other hand, there is no change in the crop accounts to justify any sharp reduction in the yield or to expect that it will be less than the actual consumption. These two features are the result of the week's developments. Meetings at the Y. H. C. A. To-morrow. The time tor holding the boys' meet ings at the Y. M. C. A. will be changed to-morrow from 10 o'clock in the morn ing as heretofore, to 2.30 in the after noon. All the boys should remember this; To-morrow at 2.30 Mr. Diggs will talk to the boys about "breaking the Commandments" and will illustrate his talk with a hammer and glass All boys should attend. To-morrow morning at 10 o'clock, in the Young Men's Christian Association, the General Secretary will conduct an evangelistic Bible class for fifteen min utes, after which rt is hoped to form a "yoke-fellow's band" to carry on re ligious work. All Christian young men are invited to attend and also any boys over fourteen years old. Cotton Press Trouble Settled. The contention between the railroads and the cotton compress owners as to the charge for compressing cotton, says an Atlanta telegram, was settled to-day by a compromise. Heretofore the roads have paid the compresses 10 cents a hundred pounds for compressing. Re cently the roads announced that they would pay 7 cents a hundred this sea son. The compresses petitioned the Georgia Railway Commission to reduce the freight charges on compressed cot ton. To-day the matter was compro mised, the roads agreeing to pay 8 cents a hundred. This increase means $600,000 to the presses on Georgia's crop alone. , . AGRICULTURAL FAIRS.

Though her business men have not taken any patt in the fight for the resto ration of the old differential of 11 cents, Wilmington, as well as the other South Atlantic ports.is interested in the results. The Savannah News says: It is expected that within a few days the board of arbitrators of the Southern Railway and Steamship Association, con sisting of Messrs. Thomas H. Carter, E. K. Sibley and Col. John Screven, which has before it the arguments in favor of the restoration of the differential of 11 cents per 100 pounds in favor of the South Atlantic ports will render its de cision. The decision cannot be well an ticipated, but it is believed from the strong arguments that have been made, that it will be favorable to those ports which have gone so earnestly into the work. Capt. Purse, President of the Board of Trade, has just received copies of the arguments presented to the Board of Arbitration in behalf of the ports of the South Atlantic by the South Carolina & Georgia Railroad Company and the Plant system officials. Mr. L. A. Em erson, writing for the South Carolina railroad, refers to the claim made by Norfolk and the other Virginia ports that the differential was established on account of the superior coastwise service of the Virginia ports, and that so large a differential is not needed now on ac count ot the vast improvement in the coastwise service from the South Atlantic ports. He shows by compari son that the Virginia ports have still, by far, the most frequent and beat coastwise service, especially in point of capacity to handle freights. He shows, too, that if anything the differential in favor of the South Atlantic ports should be in creased, as Norfolk's cheaper ocean rate and cheaper insurance rate gives that port an advantage, if anything, of a little more than 11 cents per hundred pounds. The argument is a brief one, but it covers the matter thoroughly, and is a strong appeal for the restoration of the differential of 11 cents. The arguments submitted by Traffic Manager C. D. Owens and Division Freight Agent F. B. Papy of the Plant system combines many important facts in a very brief and succinct statement, which says, in summing up, no good rea son can be given why the differential of 11 cents should be reducedand if a re duction is ordered it will only be to add to the advantage which the Virginia ports are already admitted to have with out it. MONDAY NIGHT At the Opera House-" Twins in Talent." A decided novelty in the way of thea tricals will be the only twin stars, Wil lard and William Newell, who will be seen in. what is termed a "mighty pro duction," the Operator" at the Opera House Monday nighl. The Philadelphia Times says : Willard and William Newell, "the only twin stars in the world," in the chief parts, and they are twins in talent for good work as they are in other respects. The play is one calculated to interest and amuse for many reasons. The story is interesting and the action full of life and spirit from the rise to the fall of the curtain. Notable among the incidents are two that make the others in "The Operator," excellent as they are, fade in comparison. These are the pictures of the pilot engine, full size, crashing through a trestle nearly twenty feet in height and falling in the river bed below, and the wrecking of a huge steamship upon the rocks amid a terrific thunder storm. The cast needs of the drama were well looked after by the company, which is both large and able. Seats now on sale at Yates'. Doomed Dockery. The Wadesboro Messenger says of the kalamitous kandidacy of Kolonel Dock ery: Col. Oliver H. Dockery, who was re cently nominated for Congress by the Republicans of this district, was in town last Friday. Quite a number of Demo crats put the direct question to him as to whether or not he would accept the nomination and make the race. He re fused to give a definite answer to these questions, but to white Republican from the country who happened to be in town on that day, he unbosomed him self. He told the aforementioned Re publican that he was in the race against Lockbart, and for him to go home . and tell the news to all his people. He also said that Martin was not in it, and that the fight would be between him and Lockhart. The Dark Horse in the Bicycle Baoe. Evander M. Mclver, the "dark horse" who won the 15-mile road race yester day, had the misfortune to fall three times during his run. By his first fall, at Tenth and Market streets, which was on his way out, he sprung the bearings of his front wheel, and practically rode the entire fifteen miles with a loose wheel. But for this mishap he would have lessened his time of 54 minutes 36 seconds at least five or eight minutes. THE WEATHER. U. S. Dkp't or Agriculture, 1 Weather Burkau, Wilmington. N. C, Sept. 8.

An Interesting Event That Drew a Great Crowd of Spectators -The Winners and the Prizes They Won. The bicycle races yesterday afternoon were dandies. Several hundred people lined Market street irom Fifth to Seven teenth long before the hour for starting, 5 o'clock, arrived. All 0i the starts were made Irom Fifth and Market. The races were all first class and caused consider able excitement throughout, and it was with unusual energy that the policemen managed to keep the track clear. The managers of the race were Mr. C. H. Cooper, clerk of the course; P. Heinsberger, Jr.. referee; fudges. Dr. J. H. Durham, W. H. Keen, H. W. Turren tine, R. C. Bunting, W. L. DeRosset, Jr.. and Dr. W. B. McMillan; Timers, W, F. Robertson, W. G. Elliott, Ir.; Marshals, C. M. Scattergood, N. G. Smith, J. T. Munds, W. M. McGowan. At 5 o'clock the first race was run a quarter of a mile dash. The first prize was won by Mr. F. M. Sawyer; second prize, Mr. Thos. H. Wright; third prize, Mr. Dunk B. Holland. In this race Mr. Holland fell, hurting himself badly. There were only three entries. Sawyer's time was 34 seconds. The second event which caused every body to guess and some to bet, was the handicap fifteen mile road race to the railroad crossing at Bradley's Creek and return. The following were the entries with time allowance for each according to previous xecords made: Jos. Winstead started six minutes past 5 o'clock, time allowance 11 minutes; Sam'l Hall, 5.07 o'clock, allowance 11 minutes; E.J.Hollingsworth, 5.08 o'clock, allowance 10 minutes; Ed. Heinsberger, 5.09 o'clock, allowance 9 minutes; E. M. Mclver, 5.10 o'clock, allowance, 8 minutes; Ben. McD. Russell, 5.10 o'clock, allowance, 8 minutes; Frank P. Turren tine, 5.11 o'clock, allowance, 7 minutes; Jas. Bryant. 5.12 o'clock, allowance 6 minutes; W. A. French. Jr., 5.14 o'clock, allowance. 4 minutes: W. H. Bryant, 5.14 o'clock, 4 minutes allowance. T. H. Wright, F. M. Sawyer and D. B. Holland, scratch riders, left at 5.18 o'clock, HJ minutes behind the first starter, Winstead. They were the three scratch racers and made the best time, as follows: Sawyer, 47 minutes and 15 seconds; Wright was only two-fifths of a second behind Sawyer and Holland only two-fifths of a second behind Wright. As they came in, there was loud cheer ing; it being very close; almost touch ing wheels. The race was won by a man who loomed up as a rider that was never heard of in that capacity before Mr. E. M. Mclver, a compositor at the Star office; his time being 54 minutes and 36 seconds. He was followed closely by Jas. Bryant; third, Ed. Heins berger; fourth, Frank P. Turrentine; fifth, F.M., Sawyer; sixth, Thos. H. Wright; seventh. Dunk B. Holland; eighth, E. J. Hollingsworth, ninth, Jas. Winstead. W. H. Bryant fell off at Seacoast Railroad crossing on Tenth and Market street and dropped out of the race. Mr. Mclver, the winner, also fell, but mounted again and finished in the lead. No one wanted the tenth prize, which was a rag doll; therefore, those after the ninth took a back street home and never showed up at the finish. Sawyer, Wright and Holland respec tively won the following prizes: First, a smoker's set, donated by C. W. Yates; second, a "ticket," J. Hicks Bunting; third, a silk umbrella, C. E. Gordon. j? Mclver, Bryant, Heinsberger, Turren tine, Sawyer, Wright, Hoffand, Hollings worth, Winstead received the following prizes respectively: First prize, silk umbrella, by Davis & Zoeller; second prize, sterling silver match safe, Johnson & Fore; third prize, a morocco leather pocket-book, W. L. DeRosset, Jr.; fourth prize, half-dozen pair silk hose, Katz & Polvogt; fifth prize, bicycle lantern, J. L. Yopp; sixth prize, trench brier pipe, J. C. Munds; seventh, lamp, S. A. Schloss & Co.; eighth, Lampson luggage carrier, P. Heinsberger; ninth, bicycle bell, Jas. L. Yopp. The tenth prize, a rag baby, is donated to the club as no one claims it. Sawyer won the prize for best time, a gold-headed walking cane, offered by Mr. J. Naumburg, Mclver, Wright and Holland also wear their honors worthily. Heinsberger, Turrentine and Win stead, the small boys, made good runs and were the pets of the ladies. Mr, B. McD. Russell came in as tenth man in the races with a punctured tire, which he showed at the Cycle Club's meeting last night. A banquet was given complimentary to the riders last night by the Carolina Cycle Club. Speeches were made by C H. Cooper, Jas. L. Yopp, E. M. Mclver, Samuel V. Vick, Jr.. Otto Dinglehoef, F. M. Sawyer. Thos. H. Wright, Chas. M. Scattergood, Norwood G. Smith and John G. Marshall, Star representative. Parts 1 to 30 inclusive of the American Encyclopaedic Dictionary are now ready.
