The Czar of Russia is said to have an income of $25,600 a day. It isn't easy to tell what his income is for all he has t'o do is to help himself out of the treasury, and no questions asked. According to Dun's Review the business failures in this country du ring 1894 were about the same in number as in 1893, but the aggre gate liabilities were 163,238,404 less.

It goes by way of St. Louis, thence to Tacoma, Wash., and thence across the Pacific to -Japan, a distance of 14,000 miles from starting point. The Nicaragua canal would cut off about two-thirds of tbe distance. Superintendent Byrnes, of New York, is another lucky man. He started with nothing not many years ago, and is now worth- about 1350,-' 000, all of which was made for him bv friends who bandied - railroad stocks, real estate, &c. When he un dertook to run that business on his own account he always put his foot in it and lost' money.

C., WEDNESDAY JANUARY 2, M'NAIR LOST HIS GUN. A Bhot Itory. in Whicb I Beeonnted .the CbTlBtmu Iiaek of ft-Muctonj Sim- rod.-. ,- ' Dr. H. W. McNatt and Mr. Martin McKinnon.bf Maxton. were visitors at the Star office yesterday:- They brought some sad news about Murphy McNair, noted all. through Robeson county for bis prowess as a mighty Nimrod. Murph." went hunting Cbiistmas Day and lost bis gun: and - the r fun niest part ol the - story is, that . be didn't ' discover ' that he bad lost his trusty fowling-piece until he reached home. Then be remembered that he bad "left it standing against a tree. Back be went to the unlucky forest, but a thorough search proved bootless and gunless; and now "Murph," on account of the "stringency of tne town lot market," is reduced to the necessity cf hiring a three-dollar gun at a dollar a day. These three-dollar guns come high in Maxton, tut "Murph V position as Lord Mayer of the town entitles htm-, to a special rate when it comes to hiring guns. - - There are various ways, of accounting for "Murnb's" misfortune. True, he lost his gnn on Christmas Day; bat Maxton it a "dry'.' town in fact, "dry as a pow der-horn" and it is not supposed by anyone, that "Murph'" and the gun were both "loaded." The Star's theory of the matter is this: "Murph" dis covered a covey of birds on the ground. and prepared himself to fill his bag at One shot; bat he hesitated, and pointed. and pottered so long that a Croatan In dian, standing near, became disgusted at the delay, gave a Scuffi itown war-whoop. and cried oat at .the top of bis ; voice ; "Shoot. Lake or give an the gun." Then "Murph," who has a very fine apprecia tion of the eternal fitness of things. handed bis gun to the Croatan, shed a peck of "tears of pearly dew," and "le vanted" for home. ' Gorton'. ICinstreU To-Siht. Gorton's Famous New Orleans Min strels will be with us to-night Every season this favorite organization has, something new to offer. Tbey have. called beautiful scenic effects to the aid of wit and music, and one of the most striking features cf the performance is the picture disclosed when the curtain goes up on the bower of beauty, show icg tbe company almost imbedded in a display of silk, satin and plash. Ladies can attend this company's performance without 'the slightest .fear of being offended, as it has ' been Mr. Gorton's strict rale for many years not to allow tbe least suggestive word, action or gesture as will be seen by tbe following from the Goldsboro (N. C) Areus of yesterday, January 1st: Gorton's Minstrels was the attraction at tbe Messenger Opera House last pigbt and notwithstanding the very inclement weather a goodly and fashionable audi ence greeted the company, and from the opening scene to tbe conclusion round after round ol applause regaled tne com pany, wbo responded to repeated encores so readily and cbeertolly as to manitest their appreciation of the Renerous reception that was accorded" them. Where ail did so weil it were unfair to particularize, and yet we feel that we mast specially ccmpliment tbe splendid singing of Messrs. Chas. H Lai kin and F. C.

C. was struck and instantly killed yesterday about 13.80 o'clock bv the West-bound train on the C. F & Y, V. R. R about one mile from tbe depot at Ore Hill. Mr. Moore was about 65 years of age. He was walking on the railroad track ahead of the train, and Mr. J. P. Monaghan, the engineer, blew the whistle. Mr. Moore turned around,; looked at the train, and stepped off the track, but before tbe train - reached him attempted to recross the track and' was! struck by the locomotive and ; instantly killed. His body was taken to Ore Hill. where Mr. Moore's relatives took charge! of it. Biohard ICantfijld. . Mr. Frank A.

Mr. diocum states that special trains will be ran from all near by towns for the accommo dation of their people. As this will be Mr. Mansfield's last visit South for many yeais, be will doubtless be greeted by very large audience.' i XieviBtnan Iiooomotives. The Star referred some days ago to the purchase, of six new locomotives by the Atlantic Coast Line. .The following better description is interesting: The Atlantic Coast Line I has pur chased six new monster locomotives for its passenger service. They were built bv the Baldwin woms, ana are now ready for service. Each has six feet drivers and weighs 121 000 pounds. Thev are built to carry ten cars each, tn- rludicsr six sleepers, at the rate of forty miles an hour witn stops, uae oi tnese is for the Richmond and Petersburg, an other for the Petersburg road and the . o . ' . . i .. others' for -other lines in tbe system. Thev will be ud principally for i through trains to Florida. , The grades of tbe Coast Line are now so low as to enable the company to rub trains at seventy miles an hour with safety. Bobcaon County I em.. Mr, Bond, of Lumberton.: who was here vesterdav. stated that the farmers of Robeson county were making up a car-load of corn to send to tbe suffering people of Nebraska. Mr. Bond also said that at a cash auction sale of corn , in that county recently 800 bushels were sold at 22 cents per bushel. At tnai price, it would pay to ship - it to Chicago, for rt-sale. THE COTTON MOVEMENT. The jCxoesa Over Iiiat Tear la Tremen dous, and X. 416,000 Boloe in Exoe ' of the B g Crop Te.r 1891. The. first four months of the cotton . season are now practically over, and ac cording to the official figures of Secre tary, Hester! of the local Cotton Ex change, there has come into sight of the present crop 6,723,000 bales, as compared with 5,866.000 bales last season and 6 277,000 bales in the big crop year of 1891.', The excess in the movement over last year is tremendous, and, even com pared with the heavy mo vement of 1691. tbe exceis is 446 000 bales. It is at least reasonable to suppose that a greater proportion of the crop has been marketed this year than usual, ow ing to the unusually fine weather, and that whatever excess there may be over the big crop year bas already appeared. snouia tne movement lrom now on prove no larger than it was in 1891 92. a crop ot 9.600 000 bales will be realized. wnaiever the size ot the crop may ultimately prove to be, the low prices at wmcn cotton nas been sold tbis season should convince tbe farmers of tbe absurdity of devoting their entire acre age to cotton. A large crop actually brings the farmer in much .less money. than a small yield. The present crop. vast as it is, will actually sell for less money than some 7.000.000 bate crops This should teach the farmers of the advisability of curtailing the cotton acre age, and devoting their surplus land to food crops. The future of the cotton in dustry in tbe bouth mast depend on tbe progress made by tne farmers in grow ing their own supplies. Cotton "should be actually the surplus, or cash crop, and it would then be in an infinitely stronger position, and the farmers would be more independent of the fluctuations of the market. A JERSEY "DUEL. Jealousy Xieada - to Pistols A FookeU Book Stops Bullet. Easton, Pa., December 81 Dr. E L. Riegel, a prominent physician of Bloomsbury, N. J , a few miles from here, and William Bebbler, cf Phila delphia, fought a duel 'at Bloomsbury early Sunday morning. Riegel received two bad wonnds on the crown of his bead and bis coat was pierced with bullets, which, fortunately, did not take effect. ' Bebbler bad a narrow escape, a book in bis pocket preventing a bullet passing through bis body. Tbe trouble was caused by jealousy. Bebbler. wbo is a cousin of Dr. Riegel's wife, bad been corresponding with her and paying her frequent visits. On Sat urday he paid her a visit, which resulted in a war of wotds between Bebbler and tbe doctor. Ihe outcome ot tne quarrel was a' challenge from the doctor to fight a duel. which was promptly accepted by Bebbler. bunday morning was selected as the time of meeting, and tbe men met at the appointed hour, and in short order be gan firing at each other with revolvers, with, tbe above result. Mrs. Riegel, wbo is the alleged cause of tbe trouble, is twenty years old and very attractive. EMANCIPATION DAY. Celebration of the Thirty-Second Annlver- sary by Colored People of Wilmigton.'

Dempsey expressed bis willingness to fight there, but there was. some bitcb with Kyan.

The men are to box twenty five rounds, at catch weights. It is under stood tbat the winner is to get half of the net receipts, which should be a big inducement,- as tbe card will doubtless prove a strong one.

Auditorium last night was indeed a aniqae' ind enjoyable aff .tin- Mr. . Leland Powers, the well known impersonator, rendered Dickens' master piece David Qopperfield,' which he has dramatized and produces on tbe stage, impersonating true ' to life tbe ; best known characters in that old. Eoolish Story. Mr. Powers displayed unusual dra matic talent in hrs performance, and is indeed an artist in his particular and pe culiar style. Mr. Powers interpretation of the character of our old friend Wil kins Micawber. is such that we feel as though we were in the living 'presence of the man Dickens intends to 7 portray His arraignment of Uriah Heep and the charges brought : against this "dia bolical villain" helps the lovers of the book to better understand the intents of the author. After four acts in which Mr. Powers displayed wonderful talent, the audience was treated to a very laughable one-act comedy entitled "The Rejected Lover." Tbis caused unlimited amusement and the audience was in an uproar from be ginning to end. Mr. Powers then re cited a poem and thus endfd one cf tbe most refined and by far the sspst artis tic entertainment witnessed in th's build ing during this season. A very good audience greeted Mr. Powers, at d it is hoped that he will again visit us, when we caa promise bim a co dial greeting. WILMINGTON'S COTTON RECEIPTS - An Inoreaie of 41,546 Bale s as Compared with Ijaat Tear, Tbe Charleston News and Courier published a day or two ago in an article on the ' Cotton Movement." a table, giv ing, as it says, "tbe receipts at the lead. ing ports for this and last year up to date." In this table, tbe receipts at Wil mington are given as 105 547 bales for 1894. against 195.117 for 1893. Tbe total receipts of cotton at Wilming ton from September 1st to December 81st, 1894. are 202 749 , bales, against re ceipts for the same months in 1893, 161,208; an increase of 41,546 bales. West Point and Wilmington are the only At lantic ports showing an increase. Charleston, according to the News and Courier's figures, is 20.000 bales behind her" record of 1863, and Savannah shows a decrease, according to the same" au thority, of about 50 000 bales. Wilmington 8. P. E. Co. No. 1. The regular monthly meeting of Wil mington S. F. E. Co., No. 1 was held last night. The resignations of Fore man W. C Von Glahn, Engineer E. G. Parmele, and Secretary and Treasurer W. C. Craft, tendered at a former meet ing, were presented for action. Upon motion the company adopted a resolu tion, unanimously, asking them to with draw their resignations and retain the positions they held. After some discussion, in which these .officers participated, they acceded to the wishes of the company. Tbe organization is in splendid condi tion, and large accessions to its mem bership are expected. THE INCOME TAX Hopaa from an JBxpsoted. Source of Hev- nae May Be SI sated. Special to the Baltimore Sun. Washington. Dec. 31. Unless ap pearances are very deceitful, the exhaust ed revenues ot the Government have lit tle to hope for in Jhe . income tar, of which so much was anticipated at the time of its enactment. Tne opponents of the tax evince a determined disposi tion to fight its enforcement at every stage. The Moore suit is only one ol various preliminaries to be resorted to in tbe programme of embarrassment and hindrance. It is understood tbat nego tiations have been privately instituted to secure harmony and nmty of action among all the corporate influences which are to be affected by tbe pro-. visions of the law. Individual effort, of coarse, will be strenuously directed on the line of evasion and avoidance. It bas not yet transpired whether the con gressional denouncers of the tax will carry their enmity so far as to prevent the necessary appropriations for its exe cution. This has been loudly threatened. but possibly tbe threat may not be car ried out. No opportunity will be lost, however, to throw obstacles in the way and to increase whatever dissatisfaction may prevail throughout the country in const quence. . Undoubtedly consider able time will oe consumed in tne dis cussion of tbe subject, and it tbe appro priation asked By tbe Treasury Depart ment should ultimately be given, in all probability it will not be available until some time after the new year.
