Another terrible msssacre cf Armenians by the Turks is reported; a number of young men and women were burned alive at stakes. -The University of Virginia, at Charlottsville, was damaged by fire to the amount of over $100,000; many valuable articles were destroyed; at a meeting of the faculty it was deter mined to rebuild the destroyed portion as soon as possible. John M. Ben son, the defaulting treasurer of Bladen couaty, was placed in the penitentiary yesterday, to serve three years. -A. A. Latta, of Durham, has been ar rested, charged with setting fire to houses in that town.

The Duke of Marlborough is thrifty. He returned a few days ago to the sender a bridal present, to save the $260 duty on it. Senator Sherman says he has al ways been in favor of the Nicaragua canal. One of the reasons for this is perhaps that he couldn't very well straddle it or be on both sides. St. Louis' $2,000,000 City Hall, which wasn't quite finished, is found to be such a badly put up job that it will have to be reconstructed. It was too much of a put up job, as it were. Pennsylvania coal mines produced in 1894 85,306,389 tons, of which 45,506,179 tons were anthracite and 39,800,210 tons bituminous.- There was a decrease of 5,295,072 tons on the output of 1893. It is said that in the natural gas region of Indiana the gas so perme ates the earth that even lovers have to be very careful how they do their sparking. Several explosions have occurred from the careless handling of matches. Mr. Rose, who sent the challenge to race for the America's cup, has withdrawn it. Mr. R. didn't belong to the haristocracy and it was con sidered presumptuous in him to send the challenge without consulting some of the noble snobs who run the aquatic business over there. Replying to the allegation in Sher man's book that Boss Piatt was in the deal that gave Harrison the nom ination in 1888, the boss remarks that he may find time to indite a book some of these days and then he may tell a few of the things that he knows about Sherman. If these fellows told all they know about each other, what racy reading it would make. VOL. LVH.NO. .32. An escaped convict from the Arkansas penitentiary was recently arrested in Chicago. He says he didn't escape, but was blown over the wall by a cyclone, and as there wasn't any other cyclone around to blow him back, he concluded there was no use in wasting time fooling around waiting for one. Senator Sherman does not think Geit. Grant was muctuof a financier. He is probably right in that, but we don't think that Senator Sherman has ever met in this country but one man wno was in nis estimation a great financier, and his name is Sherman. . A couple weeks ago the Brewster carriage manufacturing company, of New York, one of the oldest and strongest establishments of the kind in the country, went by the board, and a few days ago the Overman carriage company, of Cincinnati, fol lowed suit; both knocked out by the bicycle.

Brown's Dry Goods Store. The opening last night at Mr. A. D. Brown's dry goods store, No. 25 North Front street, was attended by hundreds of ladies and their escorts. The display was simply magnificent, and the visitors were lavish in praise of the beautiful goods and the taste and skill shown in arrangement: The spacious building was brilliantly illuminated throughout, showing most effectively the handsome drapery and the floral adornments.' Visitors show'n through tbe first floor of the large establishment were lost in admiration of the beautiful dress goods, in silks and other fabrics of the latest and most handsome designs, the laces and embroideries and other marvellous crea tions of web and woof. Un tne second floor, reached by an elevator, there were many beautiful goods and wares, bric-a-brac and cut glass in endless variety, a superb line of damasks, lace curtains the finest, per haps, ever on sale here and other lace goods of wonderful texture and fine' ness. There were carpets and rugs, rare and costly, and cheap and serviceablej in endless profusion to meet the wants and needs of all; blankets in piles of snowy whiteness; beautiful screens, and hundreds of other articles and wares impossible to enumerate.

C.; TUESDAY, OCTOBER 29, OPERA HOUSE. Sol Smith Bussell Next Thursday Night. The engagement of Sol Smith Rus sell, which takes place Thursday even ing, calls up. many thoughts anent the eccentric corned ian,whose acting illus trates along certain lines the sincerity and higher purposes of the drama in a manner at once elevating to art and en couraging to humanity. His visit will be considered as one of tbe pleasurable events of the dramatic season. There is a very deep interest mani fested in Mr. Russell's appearances as "Bob Acres," as this character is one in which he has long had an ambition to appear, and also because he is credited with a genuine success in the several performances that have been given thus far in the present season. His great success, though it must be admitted that he is a natural comedian, has been won by only hard and conscientious work. A devotion to a method adopted early in his stage career and followed to the last has been the secret. Mr. Russell will have the assistance of a splendid company, and the comedy will be put on with complete special scenery and stage effects. The sale of seals opens this morning. Bieyole Parade. Everybody is urged to prepare for the big bieyole parade which will take place to-morrow evening at 5 o'clock, espe cially the ladies, as the executive com mittee expects to have every wheel in Wilmington in this parade to- make as good a show as possible for Wilmington, If an owner of a wheel cannot go him self, be is urged to loan it to some one.

I. armory and go thence up Market to Seventh, down Seventh to Red Cross, down Red Cross to Front, down Front to Market, up Market on south side to Ninth and back to armory on north side of Market, thus giving every one in the parade a chance to see it.

Heins berger, C. H. Cooper, Frank Hug- gins, x. ti. Wright., Jnc. tj. Marsnaii, Geo. C. Chadbourn and W. A. Mc- Gowan, who will report at the armory at 3 80 o'clock.

Special Trains From Wilmington Next Thursday and Friday Fare One Cent a Mile Each Way. Secretary Harker. of the Border Ex position ot the Carolinas, informs the Star that the Seaboard Air Line will run special trains over tbe Carolina Cen tral to the Maxton Fair next Thursday and Friday. These trains will leave Wilmington in the early forenoon and leave Maxton oh the return trip late in the afternoon, giving about six hoars for visitors to the Fair each day. Connection will be made at Pembroke with the Atlantic Coast Line both ways. As the fare on these two special trains will be but one cent a mile each way, there should be a large crowd from Wil mington and all intermediate stations. The Fair at Maxton will undoubt edly be the best ever held there, Unusual efforts have been made by the management, and they have secured more exhibits and more features of inter est than ever before. City Court. Obadiah Jenkins was before tbe Mayor yesterday to answer to the charge ot being drunk and disorderly and resist ing arrest. Jenkins was discharged on promise to leave the city by 2.30 p. m. yesterday, and was warned that if found in the city after that time he would be arrested and fined $20. Chas. Morrison and Zep.

There will be a week's session of the Court. Some im portant cases will come to trial; namely: The pension fraud cases. These cases involve a number of persons who ob tained pensions for the wives of alleged negroes engaged in active service during the war either directly or indirectlv. Marshal Carroll says that the evidence is strong m some of the cases. Wit nesses will be present from Washington. There are cases against E. W. Carpenter, a wealthy citizen. Mr. James Moore has returned from a trip to Salt Lake City, San Francisco and other points in the West. It is a noteworthy fact that very little cotton is being brought to market here. A gentleman told me that last year this time he had ginned 325 bales, while he had so far ginned only 120. He said this ratio was about the same every where. Many of the farmers are confi dent of 10 cent cotton, and where they are in a position to hold they will not sell. The Mabel Page Company goes to Goldsboro for a week's engagement. Marshal Carroll says the Federal Court at Wilmington, which begins Monday, will occupy two weeks. Capt. w, a.

A dispatch to the New York Evening Post says: This road is soon to be sold in fore closure, the exact date to be set in a few days. The Baltimore Bondholders' Com mittee have completed a plan of organi zation which looks to the continuation of the road as one line, and it is very essential to tbe success of that plan that the road be sold as a unit at the forth coming'Sale. But the New York security holders will make a strong nght to have the road sold in sections, there being three divisions. At least they will de mand that that part of the road repre sented by the "A" bonds be sold separ ately. Some well lniormed railroad men think there is much truth in a report that has been current lately that tbe Baltimore & Ohio system would seek to obtain control both of the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley and the Roanoke & Southern. Then, by building a link from Lexington, Va., to Roanoke, Va the Baltimore & Ohio would have a through route through Southern Vir ginia, Piedmont and North Carolina to the seacoast at Wilmington MAXTON'S FA!R.

Large crowds are expected oh special trains from Wilmington and Fayette ville Thursday and Friday. Star 1895. THE MARKET FOR COTTON. Hubbard Brothers Letter The Trade Staggered by 'W'ildly Fluctuating Prioes. Editor Star When we last advised you the sentiment in favor of cotton bad carried prices to a point which in duced the liquidation of holdings that would realize the holders handsome profits upon their interests. A disposi tion to accept these profits brought a sharp decline that carried the market to a point where some of the weaker hold ers were compelled to liquidate, result ing in a break in prices sharper than the trade has seen in years, simply for the reason that there was a very small short interest to absorb the cotton thrown upon the market, and at times it required the united efforts of the prominent houses in the trade to prevent a panic. In con sequence of this liquidation, the demand lor export has fallen to small propor tions, as no one was ready to assume the risks of wildly fluctuating markets; but if the markets become quiet we may ex pect a sharp demand from exporters and spinners, provided they accept the current ruling prices as a basis upon which they can carry out their engage ments. In the intense excitement of tbe past week all tbe factors which usually con trol prices have been overlooked, and it will require time before the merchants are prepared to transact business in the usual manner. The question which in terests the trade is, whether this decline is from a point which marked the cul mination of the advance, or whether this decline is simply a reaction from the rapid advance of the past month. On one side the estimated consumption of American cotton this year is 8,300, 000 bales and last year 8.700.000 bales, a total ot 17,000,000 bales, against a pro duction last year of 9 900 000 bales and this season of not exceeding 7.000,000 bales, the current outside estimate of the crop. These esti mates of consumption and production would, leave the visible and invisible sup ply the same as on September 1st, 1893, and would probably, in tne process of the reduction of the surplus, bring about an advance as the accepted estimates of crop fall below 7,000,000 bales. On tbe other band, it is seldom that specula tion after once receiving such a set-back, is again attracted to a market without new conditions appearing to influence prices. In this connection, it must al ways be'remembered that trade is a fac tor on the bull side this season. Yours very truly, Hubbard Bros. & Co. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
