Texas is not remarkable for fish stories, but she can turn out a big one when she does her level best, as she did when she reported that 35.00Q tons of fish were frozen on the coast and in the bays south of Brazos river during the late cold snap. i The Arizona Legislature,, which passed a law providing that no man should be tried for contempt of court before a Judge against whom the offence., was committed,, probably concluded that there was the average amount of human nature in ' the average Arizona Judge.

When the new llluminant discov ered by MajorMorehead, of Leaks ville, inlbis State, comes into use, every man can make his own gas, as all he will require is some balls of lime and coal dust, fused by elec tricity, dropped into a jug of water. Then even the average Kentuckian may find some use for water. The shoe manufacturers of Eng land have put the foot down and de clared a lockout against the work men who kicked against the intro duction of American machinery. This locks out 200,000 people, and it will soon extend to 200,000 more, and affect at least 1,500,000. But the workmen declare that they will stand their ground and stick to the last. A Mrs. Long, of Glen Cove, R. I., who was arraigned in court for some thing, pleaded her own case and won. She was as cool as a cucumber on Ice until she won, and then could hold out no longer, but broke down and wept a hatful of tears, and did it so vigorously that she had to be re moved from court to preveat people from outside thinking there was a riot in'the court house, It is said that, Gas Addicks-who wants to go to the U. S. Senate from Delaware, and has the clinch on only six votes, contributed $154,000 to pay the Doll taxes of Republican delin auents. That a .hustling Republican like Addicks can command only six votes, and get n6 further along than a prolonged deadlock, looks like base ingratitude or. to say the least or it, a colossal lack 6f appreciation for services rendered. Some of the papers of other States are commenting on the fact tnat tne Fnsionists in the late Nortn Carolina Legislature who adjourned to honor the memory of Fred. Douglass, voted against an amendment to the elec-r tinn law which orovidecl tnat juages of elections should be men of good moral character.

The Baltic Canal which connects the River Elbe with the Baltic will be opened with a big show some time next month. It is sixty miles long, and it took eight years to com plete it.

If Han Quay, the Chinese banker, is worth $1,700,000,000, as they say he is, China might have turned him over to Japan as security for the bargain Hung makes. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. A.

Jack McAuliffe, champion light-weight of the world, has issued the following letter : "I have now the assurance ot my phy sician that my left arm, which was broken in my last fight, will shortly be in condition to allow me to enter strict training. While disabled by this unfor tunate accident, I have been character ized as a 'has been,' 'a retired cham pion' and 'a fighter of the past.' These slurs have been very galling to me under the circumstances, and I now demand the first opportunity to prove that I am still the light-weight champion of the world, having never been defeated for that title. "I will deposit the sum of $500 to guarantee that I mean business, and will meet any man in the world who lays claim to my title. As far as the belt is concerned, it does not cut any. neure with me. 1 will dispose otthe same to the highest bidder if her con siders it of such importance, I shall demacd, however, that my next opponent in the ring must fight to finish, this being the only positive way ot proving who is the best man. i want no radre limited-round contest de- cuions, especially with (jritto, as tney as unsatisfactory to me as to ' the ublic at large. If the Mexican Ath letic Club desires me to meet James F. Carroll. I will readily agree to do so for the $6 000 purse offered, provided they deposit $1,000 in some responsible hands in this city as a business guaran tee. I issue this letter as a challenge, and bar no man from 133 to 135 pounds at the ringside, provided be is noted enough to secure a good purse with me. I hope these croakers will now cease their idle twaddle and cover my 500, and agree to meet me in a finish fight, and by the only legitimate means try to win the light-weight championship like honest men. Yours in earnest. "Tack McAuliffe. 'Champion Light Weiebt of the World." Stole Twenty Fowls. At an early hour Sunday morning thieves raided the poultry house of Mrs. H. D. Gilbert, who resides on Fifth be tween Dock and Orange streets and car ried off twenty fine fowls, not even leav ing the old rooster to announce the ap proaching dawn. Although the poultry house is very near the dwelling the movements of the thieves, were not heard. Mr. Robert M. Gilbert, whose business keeps him down town very late Saturday nights, did not reach home un til after midnight, and although he passed within a few feet of the poultry house, there was nothing to excite his suspicions; and it is presumed the theft was committed some time after he re tired. School House Burned. The public school building for white children in Pender county, near Cow- pen's landing on Northeast river, some fourteen miles from Wilmington, was destroyed by fire last Monday night. Everything in the house school furni ture and books was also burned. The school term was to end to-day and teachers and pupils had made extensive preparations for an entertainment, to which many persons had been invited. The cause of the fire is not known. New Infantry Taotica. Capt. T. W. Jones, the U. S. Army officer in charge of the North Carolina State Guard, says the News and Observer, says that the "new tactics" for infantry which were adopted some three years ago may soon be superseded by a still later set. Col. Otis. U. S. A., has been for some time experimenting in this di rection at Fort Sheridan, Chicago. The new movements have not yet been given out, and are awaited with interest by military men. The Building and Iioan Bill. The Charlotte News savs: "The build ing and loan people of Charlotte are very 'much exercised over the bill that was published in the News a few days ago, and that is said to be the bill as passed by the Legislature. Mr. Witt kowsky says that if it is the bill passed, then it was railroaded through, and the bill as finally agreed upon and signed by all parties concerned was stolen and the objectionable bill smuggled through in its place." A Grand SucceM! This was the general verdict by all re garding the last grand opening of the dry goods firm of Katz & Polvogt. They intend to surpass all previous ef forts this week. Their opening takes place Thursday and Friday evenings, & to 10 o'clock. The firm will welcome all their friends and patrons. t McCLAMMY'S AVOIDANCE. Messrs. Editors The committee appointed by a mass meeting of Demo crats, representing all shades of that faith were sent to Raleigh to assist our Representative there in defeating the amendment to our city charter. - The result of that visit has become history. They regarded it their duty to make a report to those who sent them and in doing so, tbey could not make a true and faithlul statement without reflecting upon the fidelity of the man who had been sent there as the exponent of the political views held by Democrats and to stand between us and the vampires who would suck the blood from the veins of our State and municipality and restore us to the thraldom of the recon struction period. In making such report we indulged in no epithet. We simply stated facts as they occurred in as plain terms as possible, leaving those interested to draw their own con clusions. But Mr. McClammy, in his reply in Sunday's papers characterizes this report as "unwarranted" and "un just." He is unfortunate in the the use of his adjectives, because he can but ad mit that it was not only warranted, but our duty as a committee to make are port; and we respectfully submit to any person with discernment that be has not disproved a single charge made nor has he established the existence of malice in a single phrase, word or illustration in the entire report therefore in the na ture of things it could not be "unjust." The fact is, if the truth is known, his obiection to the article is that it is too just, frank and faithful to suit him; there tore he could not answer it. It told the absolute . unvarnished truth and that is what hurts. The com mittee consisted of four, three of whom were his political allies in the last, elec tion, and contributed as much of their means, influence and personal work to his election as any other three in the city, and for personal reasons as well as political had a right to expect hearty co operation , from him in any scheme which they might propose to him, espe cially when tbey represented a mass meeting of Democrats. Buton the con trary, we assert here, what we did not in our report, that at no time did he vol untarily confer with us, never a single time came to our room, though he was invited, but systematically avoided us, and it was with the greatest difficulty we could get him to talk with us co herently on the subject. We understand very well that he may claim that we have no right to put our construction on bis conduct; but we say that we have had sufficient dealings with men to know when they are sincere in their profes sions and especially when the actions are exactly the reverse of the proles sions. "Actions speak louder than words." Now as to the charges whi Mr. McClammy has avoided. We charged mm with not showing sufficient interest in the, welfare of our city to be presentat the committee meeting on Monday morning when the amend mentjto'our charter was being discussedVHe says there were Demo crats fopulists ana Republicans on t committee. He knew that the bill had already passed the Senate, and had been brought over to the House, and he could have made arrangements with the committee to have a bearing when the consideration of the bill came up had he felt so disposed, yet he either did not know it was in session or did not feel sufficient interest to be pres ent. In. either case he is culpable, but we think his subsequent conduct justifies the belief that he did not care to be there, for it is well-known that these meetings are public, and well advertised, and the man who does not know what is going on, is either physically or mentally incapacitated. It matters not tohim, and affords him no excuse, if it was our opin ion that "it was a foregone conclusion" before the committee; he should have stood up like a true and honest man, and fought to the death this proposition to turn over our city to our political ene mies. He says that there was a unanimous report by the committee in favor of the "amendment." We repeat emphatically that it is all the more shame to him that he was not there to explain to the Democrats and Populists the true intent and meaning of the act. We have un7 derstood that Judge Russell was there and made about a two-minutes' speech and said that it was a very harmless little affair and was not objectionable to anyone. We charged that he made the impression on Democrats. Populists and Republicans alike that be was in favor of the bill, and we prove this by showing that he used the same argument against it that French did for it,, and cited two instances one Republican who had voted with us and against the amendment, who after a private conver sation with McClammy changed his vote and one other member who had in tended voting against the amendment, after consulting with McClammy, voted for it. He treats this vital issue with si lence in his reply, because he knows ut is the truth and can be verified. We charged him with having promised the committee that on the third reading that we should have half an hour in which to discuss the merits of the bill, (which had never been done) but he avoids saying why French called the Drevious Question immediately upon the announcement of the bill. Was it for the purpose of extricating him from the awkward and perilous position he had assumed, or did he make the pos itive statement to the committee that we would be allowed the half hour for debate, without the .right to do so? In either case the committee were deceived and Democratic interests suffered cor-, respondingly. In reply to the reference ' to Mr. Boney, it is evident that it was for the purpose of deflecting the mind from the main question and to stir up strife between the conflicting elements of the Democratic party, and we will not be a party to this scheme. We will only re assert that we made no compromises, nor did we make any promises inconsis tent with Democratic faith. We are for unity. As regards the last sentence of Mr. McClammy's card, we would only say that it is no argument; it is neither a premise nor conclusion. It is simply a man of straw erected by himself for the purpose of tearing down himself, and be proceeds to do so in his characteristic manner and "language, and then sits down exhausted, feeling that by this one fell blow he had knocked the props from under the report of the committee, and it must of necessity tumble. When it comes to a question of ve racity between the five persons con cerned, we are going to let our neigh bors and friends decide, and we will be willing before the decision is made to give bond, the one for the other, with all our worldly effects, and be satisfied with their verdict.
