Grandma Wright, of Fulton county, 111., who was born before G. Washington became President, died a few days ago.

The Ohio woman who gave, a tramp an old pair of her hubby's pants, forgot to go through the pockets, and failed to discover $200 which her liege lord had hidden there.

Senator Brice, of Ohio, predicts that the next ten years will be years of phenomenal . prosperity for this country.

VOL. LVII.-NO. 4. It is claimed by the Chinese that they used the bicycle more than two hundred - years - ago. The bicycle is about three hundred years old, but it never amounted to anything till Yankee genius got hold of it. As lor the Chinese, if there is anything p the way of invention that they didn t have the first pull at accord ing to themselves, it hasn't been dis covered yet.' Chinese genius seems to go just so far and there it stops. leaving its conception in a crude. grotesque shape. The champion loafer of this coun try died a few daysago near Oxford, Pa. He lived 81 years and in all that time never did a day's work. At the age of eleven he ran away from home and since then has. been living upon the world. His beat was in three counties where he knew nearly every resident and with his remarkable memory for names he could call nearly-every one by name. He died within a stone's throw of the spot where he was born. ; A new obstacle confronts Hon. J. J. Ingalls in his efforts to get back into the U. h Senate.

A lair audience assembled at the Opera House last night to witness "The Lost Paradise, or the Knowlton Iron Works," under the direction of Gustav Froman. It - was a three-act drama, which presented points of interest be tween capital and labor, winding up with romantic love scene. The . show throughout was one which extremely pleased the entire audience, and one minute the tears would be forced to the eyes of the Spectators and the next moment there would be laughter. It was a respectable show in every respect, and pronounced by all to be one of the best of its kind which ever visited Wil mington, and really deserved a larger audience. Mr. Wm. Morris, as Reuben Warner Superintendent of the Iron Works, and Miss Frances Gaunt as Margaret Knowl w, played their roles to perfection and upheld their already high reputation. Andrew Knowlton, the father, - Ralph Standish and Bob Appleton all played their parts well, which was appreciated by the audience. The next attraction is the "Span of Life," Monday night, the 30th inst. Bicycle Parade.

Controlled Absolutely by the Populists- Three Hundred Delegates Senator But ler's Besolutions Adopted Democrats Pretty Bore at the Outcome. . Star Correspondence. " ; : Raleigh, N. C, Sept. 25. The silver convention was not a howl ing success by any means. The number of delegates has been estimated all the way from 2,000 to 500; the latter num ber even misses it, for there are certain ly not SOQdelegates, and possibly many less r They are nearly all Populists, and countrymen at that.'; Some of them -favor a new party.' -Logue Harris made his speech last night, asking for a dis continuance of allegiance to all parties. He was cheered heartily. There are a great many of the people here from a distance acting as spectators and not as delegates. . ; Democrats are keeping hands off. A prominent . gentleman said to-day that he did not see how a Democrat could enter a convention which he knows be forehand will tie him hand and foot and compromise his political views. This is the prevailing sentiment among Demo crats. -. , - The biggest sensation of the moanin&r was the refusal of such Democrats as Captain Ashe, ex-Senator Jarvis. Armis- tead Jones, Josephns Daniels and nearly all the leading Democrats to .era in the Convention. They haye washed their hands. The rupture came late last night when Captain Ashe openly op posed Butler's resolutions. These, bolt ing Democrats could not swallow there commendation of Butler to vote only for silverites for Congressmen. Senators and residential Electors. The clause call ing tor non-partisan conventions in other States was also objectionable. .a. isuamoers bmith, Judge McRae B. F. Montague, Small aad a few others are the only ones who are going to the Convention. Smith, it is said, thinks some of the Democrats have gone back on him. Those who are "in it," do not seem to be pleased.! At the conference this mornin&r of the thirty Democrats, the resolutions of Batler, adopted by the special com mittee of nine, were agreed upon. The (convention was called to order shortly after eleven by Chambers Smith. Judge J. C. MacRae was appointed tem porary chairman, Baes Beckwith and Spier Whitaker escorting him to the chair. . Mr. Whitaker read a ten minutes' speech on assuming the chairmanship. He congratulated the body, and sooke of them as an intelligent and representa tive body ot North Carolinians. Judge MacRae said that the people had a right- to come together and con sult for their welfare. His speech was received with applauss. The substance of it was that the silver men should get together. Senator Butler arose and put a mo tion to make Mr. MacRae permanent chairman. The motion was unani mously carried. Messrs. Andrews and Ayer were made permanent secretaries. Everything was done- by caucus be forehand, and a gentleman I remarked this morning that it reminded him of the legislative caucuses among ' the lusiomsts. Gov. Carr came in for a short while as a spectator. Judge Whitaker addressed the Con vention. He said that there was a time in the history of all nations when the people find it necessary to get together, regardless of all party lines. Democrats, Republicans and Populists find them selves here to-day; we have come here to-day not to talk, but to act. J. I. Mott and Harry Skinner were elected vice presidents. Walter Henry, Buck Kltchin and others amused the Convention while the Committee on Resolutions was out. Senator Butler's resolutions were adopted as given below: Resolved, That we hail with satisfac tion the indisputable evidence of return ing reason among business men, and ap plaud the demands which enlighten ed and patriotic men 'are making, that the selfish policy inaugurated by cupid ity and avarice twenty years ago shall now be reversed in the interest of hon esty and fair dealing, and in order that commerce and" agriculture may be restored to normal and prosperous con ditions. Resolved, That, ardently attached to the great cause of free coinage, we pro pose to advance it by all means in our power. Resotvea, l bat this Convention, com posed of members of all political parties in North Carolina, sends greeting and words of great encouragement to the adherents of the great cause of free coinage of silver throughout the United States, and urges them to renewed efforts to secure the full and perfect re monetization of silver. ' Resolved, That the plain and only way to put an end to the evils of gold mono metallism is to open the mints of this country to the tree and unlimited coin age of silver as they are now open to gold; and we demand that this shall be done at the long established ration of 16 to 1, and that this country shall act at once, independently of all other countries. Resolved, further. That we do earnest ly request all the friends and advocates of the restoration of the coinage back as it existed prior to 1873 to call non partisan conventions, similar to this, in the several states and take similar ac tion, v Capt. C. M. Cooke offered an amend- ment to the effect that silver be made the issue in the next campaign. It was opposed by Butler and referred to the committee on resolutions, where it died. Editor Cowan, ot the Durham Globe, handed a set Of resolutions to the chair man to be read. Butler said all resolu tions should be handed up at once and referred to the committee- Spier Whit aker said that they should not even be granted a, hearing. A storm was im pending and there was a great nois' .-in the hall, ' when Harry Skinner jumped to his feet and moved that the Convention adjourn, having accomplished its work. At ex actly half-past one Judge MacRae put the motion and the conterence adjourn ed sine die amidst much cheering. The Butler element seemed to have the Convention well in hand, and any thing the Senator endorsed generally went. Several ladies, including Judge Whit aker's daughter, were in the side wings' of the stage. - . : Baes Beckwith, Senator Fowler and others expressed themselves as highly pleased with the worlc accomplished. - For some time past it has been going the founds that Major John C. Winder was to again return to the vice presi dency of the of the Seaboard Air Line. A rumor to ; tnis enect was published in the Star a few days .since. An official in this city, who - is well up, says he knows nothingrof . it, Whether any one man knows or not the rumor is gaining cur rency all over the South. The At Star; 26, 1895. lanta Constitution publishes over a half colulmn in regard to it. "A special from Washington says that the Winders have secured control, and will take hold October 1. Maj. Winder is now at Chase City. It ' is certain that he has been offered a big railroad, position. superintendent Leazer has returned rom Roanoke, and reports the crocs in fine condition. - He says about ten bales of cotton were open a - week ago, and that at least 700 are open now. - By United Presi. Raleigh. N. C. SeDtember 25. The State Silver Convention met here at noon, and E..C Smith called it to order. James C MacRae (Dem.) was made President. , Harry Skinner and J. J. Mott, the former Chairman of the State Republican Committee, were vice ores- dents. Very few Democrats were pres ent. The Populists absolutely eon trolled the Convention. About three hundred delegates in all attended, and five-sixths were Populists. Resolutions were offered, which had been agreed upon at the caucus this morning, and which were proposed last night by the Caucus Committee. These greet all silver men in the coun try, declare that the only way to put an cna 10 me evns 01 monometallism is to open the mints of the country to the free and unlimited coinage of : silver; that the convention hails with satisfac tion the undisputable evidence of return ing reason in the demand ol the people for the repeal of the demonetization act. and calls, on all bimetallists to exert themselves to restore silver to its former use as a perfect money metal.' It calls on silver men in other States to hold similar conventions. Here is the part of the resolutions which caused nearly all Democrats to absent themselves from the Convention: "To this end we earnestly recommend to voters that hereafter they elect only such Senators and Representatives in Congress as are sincerely in favor of the principles hereinbefore expressed, and only such Presidential electors as will publicly declare on the stump that they will vote for no man . for President or Vice President who is not in favor of such principles, and. whose record and platforms are a guarantee that they will be faithfully executed." Secretary of State Cooke offered an amendment to this, as follows: "TLat for the purpose of the next election the demand for financial reform shall be confined to the restoration of silver at coinage Of 16 to 1." This was over whelmingly voted down. The convention adjourned sine die at 1.25 p.m. , , Special Star Teleeram.1 Democrats are pretty sore over the convention to-day. Those few partici pating seem under hack. Cooke's course is heartily endorsed. His reso lution was thauthe demand for financial reform be confined to the restoration ot silver to coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1. Senator Butler got huffy and replied that when giving relief to the people you are careful not to give too much. He said that he did not see how any silverite could oppose his resolution. Loge Harris says to-day's proceedings clinched fusion beyond doubt. Thinks it a bad day for the Democrats. Mew borne says the Democrats acted in bad faith. Dr. W. C. Richardson, a veil known citizen of the county, was caught in a cotton gin to-day and his arms were badly mangled. He died from effects of the shock. NEW YORK TRUCK MARKET.
