' Electric locomotives for -freight hauling are coming to the front. The Baldwin Works, at Philadelphia, are building one of 1,000 horse power, which is to have a speed of thirty-five miles an hour. A Boston figurer estimates that the army of Christian Endeavorers who will visit that city next Tuly will spend in the city not less than $350,000. That's the kind of visitors that Boston endeavors to at tract. Continental bicycle touring by Englishmen is not as brisk as it was before some'of the custom officers punctured some of the air tires and found them crammed with Turkish tobacco (on which there Is a high duty in England) instead of air.

It is hard to get away with the heathen Chinee. When he makes up his mind to go anywhere he will manage to get there some way. The latest ruse to get into this country was to have themselves shipped in In coffins, representing Americans who had died in Canada. The number of such shipments aroused the suspi cions of the revenue fellows at Vanceboro, Maine, who opened some of the coffins and found instead of a well behaved American corpse the livest kind of a Chinaman. 1 NEW ADVERTISEMENTS A.

The same train, however, carried 2,000 crates on Friday and 2,400 crates yesterday. Those packages of the vegetables which were not sent from Savannah were turned over to the road by the Southern Express Company and other lines. Much of this stuff came from the territory immediately sur rounding Savannah, and could practi cally be called Savannah truck. For the Tire Alarm.

An entire absence of -standing room was the feature at the opening of last night's performance at the Luther Me morial Building, where some of Wil mington's talented amateurs rendered a most delectable programme. The fre quent hearty applause is a good criterion and to those who were present is a better criticism than anything that could possi bly be said in regard to this most en joyable entertainment. The first part was a rare musical treat, opening with a piano duet by Mrs. H. F. utienana miss utten, wnicn lrom an artistic point of view was perfect. These ladies showed skill and their effort was much appreciated The male quartette, consisting of Messrs. Smith, Baker and S. and H. K. Holden. sane "A Stream of Stiver Moonlight" to the great delight of the audience. Miss Annie Adrian, that charming young lady with a voice of peculiar and won derful charm, pleased the audience with a solo entitled "Thy Blue Eyes," which was heartily applauded. A duet "Min strel Boy," by Messrs. Baker and A. S. Holden, was the next number and was well received. Mr. Wm. Rehder, with a voice of exceeding sweetness, sang "Forgotten." The event of the evening, it seemed, was the double quartette en titled "Wynken, Blynken and Nod" par ticipated in by Misses Stolter, Adrian, Bissinger, Doscher and Schwaiz and Messrs. Smith, Baker, Holden and Reh der. So great was the manifestation of delight that they were compelled to respond to an encore. After singing the "Flower Song;" from Gounod's Faust, in her usual charming manner. Miss Minnie Schwarz sweetly responded to the vociferous applause of the audi ence. The male quartette sang "Good Night," which ended part first. The second part consisted of a laugh able little comedy, entitled "Popping the Qaestion." In this stirring little love scene all performed their parts with the utmost fidelity, and in a manner which displayed much talent. The applause was gener ous and deserving. REDUCED COTTON ACREAGE. Indication of a Smaller Cotton Crop But Estimate Seem Extravagant. A recent telegram from Arkansas says: Pursuant to resolutions adopted by the anti-cotton growers' league recently formed in this section, this year's acre age of cotton will be greatly reduced in proportion to that of preceding years. Many prominent agriculturists through out this section are closely identified in the movement and are determined in their efforts 'to rule against enormous and unprofitable production of cotton. In a circular address to the farmers, the operators of the league are urging the planters to direct their attention and combine every available effort toward a more lucrative plan of farming, suggest ing that they ought now and forever to realize their independence of cotton and turn their attentinn to-the production of grains and stock raising. It is estimated that the acreage throughout this section has been reduced exceeding on an average one-half of that planted last year. Dr. John A. Vann, of Ridgeway, S.C., is quoted as saying: "Planting opera tions are about ten days behind. The cotton acreage will be from 16 to 25 per" cent, less than last year." Mr. E. S. B. Jackson, of Sumter, S. C, says that in his section not more than 60 per cent, as much cotton has been planted this year as last, while the acreage in corn has been increased 100 per cent. The Savannah Press says: "It has been generally conceded that the cotton acreage has been reduced 25 per cent.' The Star has no doubt that the re duction in cotton acreage is overesti mated ; but if it shall reach an average of 15 to 20 per cent., the next crop will be. 2,600.000 bales smaller than that for the current crop year, for, in addition to re duced acreage, the decrease in amount of fertilizers must be considered. Wilmington Gas Light company. The annual meeting of the stock holders of the Wilmington Gas Light Company was held at the office ot the secretary and treasurer, Mr. R. J. Jones, at 11 o'clock yesterday. Colonel John W. Atkinson was called to the chair and Mr. Don MacRae was made secretary. The old Board of Directors, consist of Dr. A. J. DeRosset and Messrs. E. S.

Mr. R. J. Jones as secretary and treas urer and Mr. John W. Reilly as superin tendent. Magistrate's Court. Robert Guthrie, colored, was commit ted to fail yesterday by Justice Bunting in default of bail fixed at $100. Guthrie is charged with false pretences in obtain ing several pistols from Mr. E. D.

TALK ABOUT HOLLAND'S BOND AND HIS ABILITY TO MAKE IT. District Attorney Glenn Bays It Will Be Fifteen to Twenty Thousand Doll are It la Said He Can Give the Bond . Glenn Thinks Somebody Helped Hol land Spend the Bank's Money. The following additional particulars are from the Observer of yesterday : When discussing the amount of bond Mr. Glenn remarked that he thought a $20,000 bond and ten years in the peni tentiary would satisfy the government. "Do you suppose he will be sent for so long a term ?" asked the Observer. "I don't know." said Mr. Glenn, "that is with Judge Dick. Five years, you know, is the very least he can get." "Could not entreaties and petitions make it less?" , "Not," said Mr. Glenn, "if every man, woman and child in the town went down on their knees to the judge. He might appeal to Comptroller Eckles; he is the only one who could shorten the term of years." Two representatives from the Ameri can Surety Company are in the city. One is Mr. Long, the State Inspector; the other an expert. Mr. H.G. Springs tells the Observer that they have expressed their determination to pay their part of the bond. They are now investigating the matter, and studying bonds and all things pertaining thereto. - United States District Attorney Glenn. arrived last night at 10.40. He was seen at once by the Observer and asked when the preliminary trial would take place. He said he had not made any arrange ments nor set any time. 'I should think," said he, "that Mr. Holland would prefer not having a trial, as it would necessarily be very public, and I should think unpleasant. I should suppose that he would waive examina tion and then get his friends and lawyers; to see me and arrange the bond, if he can give the bond required. 'What bond will be required, Mr. Glenn? " asked the Observer. "I have not decided in my mind fully," said he. "If Holland had not gone away or rather concealed himself like he has done, but had thrown himself on the mercy of thejeourt, his bond would not haye been over $10,000. Now I shall make it not less than $15,000 nor more than $200,00. "I want you to state," continued the District Attorney, "that I havn't the slightest feeling against him for the way he has acted as the amount of the bond is not regulated by personal feeling in the least degree, but his ' is a very aggravated case and I will have to require a bond that I think will satisfy the government. I have no idea of running the figures up to an exorbitant amount." "Do you think he can give bond?" asked Mr. Glenn. "I do," said the reporter. "I think he can give it with no trouble." "A justified bond." asked Mr. Glenn. "Yes, a justified bond.". "I won't take any but' the strongest kind of a bond and I won't accept as bondsmen any of the bank officials." "I should think," said the Observer, "that they would be the last to offer to go on the bond. They could hardly of fer a thousand dollars reward for the cap ture of MT Holland and then turn 'round to go on his bond." "I am not satisfied with this business. yet," continued Mr. Glenn, "I am going to probe it to the very bottom, and I am going to get Comptroller Eckles to issue an order giving me power to have Bank Examiner Miller go through the bank. I never expect to stop until I know all. I can't understand what Holland has done with so much money, not to have lived "more extravagantly than he has. HOLLAND GIVES BOND. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Charlotte, April 30. Ex-Cashier Holland, who is in default to the Mer chant's and Farmer's National bank of this city to the amount of $80,000 or more, had a preliminary trial to-day, and in making up the bond the defaulter's remarkable popularity was seen. District Attorney Glenn demanded a bond of $15,000. A score or more of Holland's friends, among the best citi zens of Charlotte, came forward and signified their wish to go on his bond. The signatures for $10,000 each more than covered the amount of bail required, but when all who asked it had been al lowed to sign the bond, it footed up a grand total of $91,000. "The most re markable bond I ever saw," commented District Attorney GlenA. NEW YORK TRUCK MARKETS. Full and Bailable Beporta of Markets For Southern Fruits and Vegetables.

Star Correspondence Raleigh, N. C, April 80. i Quite a nice legal spat was indulged in this morning in the Superior Court between the attorneys representing the claimants for the position of State Li brarian and counsel for the Secretary of State. It happened in this way. Yes terday Mr. Thomas R. Purnell. Stan ford's attorney, requested Mr. Plummer Batchelor, Private Secretary to the Sec retary of State, to furnish him with a certified copy of a portion of the Legis tive Journals relating to the alleged elec tion of Stanford. Mr. Batchelor told Mr. Purnell that it would be a physical impossibility to do so, es the part de sired embraced too much. This morning counsel for Stanford took action to compel the Secretary of State to have the journals produced in Court. Mr. Armistead Jones appeared for the Secretary of State. He took the posi tion that the secretary did not so much object to bringing his records in the court, but that if he was ordered to do so this time a precedent would be estab lished, whereby he would be continually worried by demands for the records over the State. Judge Starbuck de cided that the Secretary of State was not compelled to produce the records. The case comes up again this afternoon. The case of the North Carolina School for Deaf and Dumb vs. the N. C. Insti tution for the education of the deaf, dumb and blind is in the Superior Court to-day. This is an action to obtain $6,000 bequeathed by John Kelly ot Orange county in 1851 for the education of the deaf and dumb. Another petition of 250 names asking for a commutation ot the death sentence of George Mills was handed the Gover nor this morning. There is a great diversity of opinion as to whether Mills will hang. Mr. Frank Stronach has resigned as a director of the penitentiary. He is one of the five old directors. Mr. Stronach is at present a city alderman, and is also a candidate on the Democratic ticket for re-election. The - aldermen will probably be evenly divided between Republicans and Democrats, when the result of the election is known, and Mr. Stronach resigned'to prevent any antici pated trouble about double office hold ing, ine Governor has not appointed . bis successor. Mr. J. J. Rogers, Register of Deeds, also declined an appointment tendered him by the Legislature as a director of the Institution for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind, and the Governor has appointed in his place Mr. Wm. Proctor, of Ral eigh. Mr. Proctdr was one of the Dem ocratic directors turned down by the Legislature. Mr. W. W. Kitchin one of the Direc tors of the Farmer's Bank at Roxboro came in to-day. He says the cashier has been released on a $3,000 bond and is at present assisting in the bank show ing the officials what he can. He says the default of 5,000 has been made good and that the bank is going along just as usual paying checks and drafts. The receiver appointed was a temporary one and Treasurer Worth siys he sees no reason for having a permanent receiver. It is just.broughtto light that NorthCar olina is entitled to a military post, this State being one of the very few without Federal military representation. An ef fort is being made to begin about secur ing a cavalry post in Raleigh, The prop er military authorities are pushing the matter. It would be the means of dis tributing over $500,000 a year in Raleigh besides the outlay necessary to equip the post. Special Star Telegram The Supreme Court handed down the following opinions: Bank of New Han over ys. Adtian & Vollers, from New Hanover, reversed. Wright vs Brown, from Beaufort; affirmed. Treasnrer i Worth was summoned to appear before Judge Starbuck at six p. m. to show cause why the receiver of the Roxboro Bank should not be discharged. Failing to appear, Judge Starbuck dis solved the receivership.
