Holmes, the man in orison in Phil adelphia charged with about eight murders (and the list is not complete yet, it seems) was a thrifty sort of a fellow and utilized the remains of some of his victims. The police of Chicago, where he seems to have done most of his work, have found the skeleton of a woman in the nos- sessibn of a man who had articulated other skeletons for Holmes, and held this one because he had not paid for some of the other work done. Tins man says Holmes sold the skeletons to medical students. : Some of the goldites, echoing Sec retary Smith, say "free coinage is un democratic." When did it become" undemocratic ? When John Sherman, after long trying, sneaked the de monetization of silver through Con gress ? Up. to that , time no Demo crat ever opened his mouth against the free coinage of silver, which was the people's money, as it is now, and ajnoney as honored as gold for 82 years, during most of which time the Democratic party was in power. One of the reasons why a Detroit, Mich., woman wants divorce from her hubby is because when she told him to buy her silk stockings to wear with her bronze shoes the brute actually tried to palm of lisle thread stockings on her. This woman should ! not r only be promptly divorced, but should be invested with plenary powers to fill those lisle thread stockings with sand and sandbag that fellow out of his five senses. The goldites re commending the Morgatf-Belmont syndicate for de positing $2,000,000 of gold in the Treasury and taking in exchange $2,000,000 in greenbacks. That was a transaction that involved neither .loss nor risk, for all the syndicate has to do when it wants its $2,000,- 000 of xold is to send-. back, the greenbacks and draw it. Japanese have ways of doing many things that seem odd to Amer icans. That's what the Chinese thought, too. Bat some how, the Japs "generally get there in their own peculiar way. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS .

C Worth to the missionary field in China, were held last night in the First Presby terian Church. After music by the choir, Rev. Dr. Rawlings offered prayer and Rev Dr. Hoge read passages from the Scriptures. Rev. Dr. Strange, rector of St. James' Church, was then introduced by Dr. Hoge. . Dr. Strange said he had been asked to speak in behalf of the Christian com munity, to bid these two young servants of . God farewell. It was a sad and sweet duty to him. It was sad to say farewell, but sweet to speak of the vouneer brother and sister of the same city, consecrated to the same cause. On this occasion he loved to speak for the Christian community, as he represented the mother church of Anglo-Saxon Christianity the Episcopal Church and St. James, the mother parish of this city, which sent out the first missionary from this State the late Augustus W. Lyle, who died in the very year and in a few months before his appointment to sail. Dr. Strange siid be was proud of this strong son and this sweet daughter of our city who are leaving their comfortable homes and friends, forsaking bright' futures here to go to do work for the Master.

MEETING OF STOCKHOLDER? - Of the Carolina later-State Building and Loan Association. -The stockholders of. this Association met yesterday at 12 o'clock nooo in Pyy thian Hall, in this city, i . v . The meeting was called to order by Charles E, Borden, president, who pro ceeded to appoint a committee, to verify proxies, consisting of Rev. Dr P. H. Hoge, , M. Cronly and E. S. Tennant. The committee reported 1.548'shares represented, of which number 424 were represented in person, and 1,124 by proxy.;.; '- :- This not being a quorum of the stock, or a majority as required by the charter, the chairman announced that, the' direc tors would retire and .appoint persons to represent the absent stockholders. - Messrs. John D. Bellamy and D. A, Covington made the 'point and. con tended that such appointment could not be made, a majority of the -Board of Di rectors not being present. The charter requires nine directors, and only four directors were present. The" point was also made that the meeting could not be made a formal meeting, and that only an informal dis cussion of the affairs of the Association could be had, upon the cround that only sixty-seven shares of stock had been represented, at the annuaTmeetirg In July, and hence no adjourned meet ing could be held legally. The chairman overruled these points. The report of the committee on proxies was adopted and the meeting declared organized for business, a quorum being secured by the appointment of proxies for absent stockholders by three of the directors. . The annual report and statements were read and adopted. The chair announced that since the call for the adjourned meeting bad been issued a temporary receiver of the Association had been appointed, and therefore resolutions were introduced to allow the directors to wind up the Association's affairs upon a plan out lined in the resolutions. The resolu tions were fully discussed. A stock vote being taken the i chairman an nounced the resolutions adopted, al though no quorum voted, and this point was made. A resolution introduced by Mr. M. H. Jones, instructing the attorney for the Association to oppose the appointment of Mr. Iredell Meares as receiver before Judge Graham, was overwhelmingly de feated. The meeting then adjourned sine die. NAVAL RESERVES. Beady for the Cruise The Amphltrite Will Arrive To-day st Southport. The Naval Reserves are ready to go on the cruise of 1895. The Wilmington Reserves will lead off by assembling this afternoon at their Armory, going aboard and taking charge to prepare for the visiting companies. The W. N. & N. R. R. has offered free transportation to visiting reserves. Lieut. W. J. Griffin, of the Elizabeth City Reserves, telegraphs that he will arrive to-day. He was the former com mander of the Pasquotank Rifles, A letter has been written to Governor Carr and Adjutant General Cameron, asking them to meet the Amphitrite in Wilmington, but no answer has so far been received. The Amphitrite willarrive here to-day and Capt. Harper, the navigator for the battalion, has been detailed to meet her at Southport, Commander Wise, of the Amphitrite, wrote Commander Winslow as to the possibilities of coming up to Wilming ton, and to suggest a programme for the reserves while on board his ship each morning. He suggests that the Naval Battalion join the Amphitrite at South- port, in order to give them training more conveniently in target practice. Of course Commander Winslow, the Reserves and the entire community would rather have them come to Wilmington, but nothing is certain. An exact programme will not be determined upon until the Amphitrite arrives, and her coming to the city depends, upon, the decision reached by Commander Wise, who has everything in charge. A Mad Hog. Yesterday afternoon while a crowd of Naval Reserves and others were on board the monitor Nantucket, a pet dog owned by Mr. Fred Harper suddenly; showed symptoms of hydrophobia and soon cleared the deck, snapping and biting at "every one within reach. After making a tour of the hurricane deck, the dog plunged to the lower deck and thence to the river, but was caught by a negro named Joe McNeil, who carried him to the corner of Front and Church streets, where he was compelled to re lease the dog, owing to its frantic efforts to bite him. The dog was shot later in the evening.

No. 1 will have the pleasure of taking part in the firemen's tournament in that city next week with their engine and hose reel. A few days ago Mr. L. J. Taylor, chief of trie Newbern Fire Department, was in Wilmington. He wanted to know why both the -Atlantic" and "Adrian- engines could not take part in the con tests, and when told that it was neces sary to keep one of the engines here-in case of fire, he suggested that the At lantic company of Newbern would send their engine here for service, so that Wilmington No. 1, as well as Howard Relief- No.- 1. could take a hand in -the friendly struggle. Mayor Ellis, ol Newbern, approved the suggestion of . Chief Taylor, the Atlantic Company met and voted unan imously to tender their steamer, and the Board of Aldermen held a special meet ing and gave the necessary endorsement for the loan of the engine. - The W., N. & N. railroad will, it is understood, bring it here and return it to Newbern free of charge. i ne otner nre engine company in Newbern desired also to tender their steamer, but it was found that it would not be of service in Wilmington, having no hydrant connection.

Last Tues day night while Sweat was absent from home, his wife and Dickson had a dispute about the latter not paying his board. Dickson knocked the woman down, and notwithstanding her delicate condition, beat her so severely that she was compelled to take to her "bed, where she remained until her death.

HE DENIES SOME OF THE LATTER'S COYTON ESTIMATES And Warns Planters to Hold Back Their Crop and Sot Be frightened by the Sight UJllion "Bugaboo." New Orleans Times -Democrat '. Montgomery, Ala, July 25. Hon. Hector D. Lane. President of the Ameri can Cotton Growers' Protective-Association, arrived in the city this morning from Mobile, where he has been in at tendance upon a meeting of Alabama's Commissioners, of Cotton States' Expo sition at Atlanta, of which board Mr. Lane is general manager for Alabama. Upon being asked as to the condition of the cotton crop, the market, etc., Mr. Lane made the following reply : ' I am very glad that vcu suggested this subject. It is one of intense interest to the South, and in which 1 am ex ceedingly "interested, especially so occu pying the position that I do as president of the cotton Growers Proteci.ve Asso ciation. I have lust read with a great deal ot interest, not unmixed with some surprise, Mr. H. M. Neill's letter of July 20th, to The Times-Democrat. This has been looked for for some days, as it is well known that Mr. Neill periodically perpetrates just such, about the opening of the cotton market every year. Mr. Neill is a 'bear" the pet bear of a coterie of speculative gamblers and English manufacturers; and his gyratiocs are annually costing impoverished Southern-planters, millions cf dollars of their hard earnings. He is now paving the way with all the astuteness of the professional to frighten farmers by using between 8.000,000 and 9,000,000 crop bugaboo" into marketing their whole crop In the early months, receiving then what they can get from the hands of their masters, but later whea the practi cal demonstration comes of the produc tion, ond the crop is safely in the hands of the speculator and manufacturer to see values rise a cent and one-half or two cents. "Mr. Neill naively remarks in his let ter in reference to decreased acreage. 'that there was so much nois-i made that speculators took hold of the market and ran it up, and thus Induced the planter to reconsider and plant more.' "This coming from Mr. Neill should certainly be a warning to cotton grow ers of the cunning and the methods practiced by speculators. I called this turn on these gentlemen last Spring and addressed a letter to the cotton growers of the South, advising them that this was a trick and a device to circumvent a decrease of the acreage, and as Mr. Neill now frankly admits that such was true, coming as it does from 'their friend the enemy,' I hope in future they will heed such warnings. Mr. Neill advises the world that Texas has only decreased her acreage 5 per cent. The' speculators were just a little late in their efforts to prevent a decrease as far as relates to Texas, for they had substantially planted their crop when values commenced to rise. 1 have spent five weeks in Texas since the planting season commenced, and I state without fear of honest contradic tion that the decrease in that State is not less than 16 per cent, Mr. Neill ac cepts Texas as a criteron. . In ' view of this fact, I shall make a trip to Texas in the next few days and shall investigate the conditions to my own personal sat isfaction. "To mv mind to make an 8,000,000 crop superior weather to last year's phe nomenal conditions must prevail here after. Killing frosts must be two weeks to one month late, and without such conditions the crop may be easily under 7,500,000, if not 7.000.000. , Europe will take this past vear, 6,800,- 000 America's cotton, while North and South America, Canada and Mexico will take 3,100,000 bales, and with improving trade America will surely take 3,300,000 bales, which would leave only 4,700,000 bales for export, even if 8,000,000 was raised, which is practically impossible. If the crop is only 7,250,000, then less than 4,000.000 would be available for ex port. "A scramble lor cotton would set in such as has not been seen since 1870, as Europe is entirely dependent on the South for her supplies of raw cotton, as statistics show that her importation this year from India, Egypt, Brazil, etc., is only equal to 1,600,000 bales of Ameri can cotton. . "The manufacturers of Europe are selling their goods months and months ahead without protecting themselves by the purchase ot raw cotton, expecting that the necessities of the planter will force him to sell at any pricelthat the mill owners and speculators choose to pay. 'Now, l advise and sincerely nope that the cotton growers wilt move their crop on the market lust as slowly as they can possibly afford, and not allow themselves to be terronzedjnto rusning it all on the market during the early months, but to hold back 25 to 50 per cent, of what they , usually market, and thus by a judicious distribution we will realize handsome returns." The Quarantine Station; The Southport Leader says : Dr. Eager was over to the place soon to be occupied by the new quarantine station, last Tuesday, and set stakes, showing its location. The station will occupy a space one way between the upper end of Battery Island and Prince's creek light, on the east side of the channel. The pier, which will be six hundred feet in length, will run north by northwest, and be in water from eighteen inches to twenty feet in depth. In the contract, as let by tne Govern ment, the attendants and medical quar ters are not. included in . the bid. . The station to be constructed will consist of a pier, above mentioned, a hospital build ing, disinfecting nouse ana ballast crib. An artesian wen win ne suns at tne station, and both the flow and character of water coming from this well will be noted with interest. ; t Mr. Frank Baldwin, the contractor, is here and will this week have four test piles driven, in order to determine the length of the piles necessary to be useo. Ninety days is the time allowed to com plete the contract, the time dating from the completion of the contractor's bond. This bond has already been accepted, so that work on the station will follow at once. ' -''. .. '--. " The tug Woodard, will be tied to the end of the quarantine pier, when built, and used as attendants' quarters, r A Government superintendent of con struction will be sent down, who will make reports as the work on the station progresses.' .

Prices that will astonish every body. , aug 2 tf THE CAROLINA MUTUAL Fire Insurance Company, of Charlotte, N. C. .' The CAROLINA MUTUAL is a strong NORTH CAROLINA Com pany. It is, however, a stock com pany, and issues absolutely non-par ticipating and non-assessable poli cies. Its mutual feature consists in a charter provision, that one-third of its directors must be POLICY HOLDERS who are NOT stock holders elected by the POLICY HOLDERS; this ls-a very strong point, the policy-holders who have great interests at stake, have a share in the management of the Company, and will always know its condition. Better than this, the CAROLINA MUTUAL deposits all premiums re ceived at this agency to their credit with the WILMINGTON SAVINGS AND TRUST COMPANY. This makes it practically a local company. The directors of the company are : P. M. BROWN. Of Brown. Weddington & Co., Wholesale Hardware. E. B. SPRINGS, . Of E. B. Springs & Co.. Fertilizers and Wagons. M. P. PEGRAM. Cash'r First Natl Bank of Charlotte. B. D. HEATH, Of Heath Brothers, Bankers. SAM'L E. WHITE. President Fort Mill Man'f'g Co." A. C. SUMMERVILLE, Lumber and Real Estate. J. T. ANTHONY, Wholesale Provisions and Grain. IOHN W. MILLER, Real Estate and Cotton Broker. HERIOT CLARKSON. . r Of Clarkson & Dnls, Att'ys-at-Law. These gentlemen stand among the wealthiest and most successful "business men of North Carolina, and their names are a guarantee of the Company's honesty, conservatism and success. . We heartily recommend the Company to the property owners of Wilmington. We also represent other good companies, and do a general insurance business. Come to see us.
