Kentucky went Re publican he would believe in a hell, he replied that Kentucky going Re publican went to prove that hell does not exist.

For North Carolina and South Caro lina, fair, preceded by local showers on the coast; northeasterly winds; slightly warmer in the interior. - The barometer has risen in all distiicts east of the Mississippi and in the ex treme Northwest. It is highest in the Ohio Valley and lowest in Southern Cal ifornia. Fair weatber prevails, except in the South Atlantic States where show ers continue. It is colder on the Atlantic Coast and slightly warmer in the upper Lake region and from Minnesota southward to Texas. Slightly warmer, fair weatber will pre vail throughout the central Valleys and Like regions. The Brooklyn trolley seems to have a nack of killing and maiming people peculiar to itself. It has made a record of 130 killed or maimed within two years. Why the Brooklyn trolley should have so far eclipsed other cities which have the trolley it isn't easy to see, unless the trolley fellows are proud of the distinction and are determined to hold their pre-eminence. It is said that the main trouble with Eugene Field, the recently, de ceased journalist and poet, was an unreliable stomach. The stomach is a pretty hard thing for some people to manage, any way. It is always getting them into trouble. They would be much better off if they were equipped with a gizzard, or something of that sort. The Kentucky Legislature stands 68 Democrats, 68 Republicans and 2 Populists. The Republicans have a majority in the House and will, of course, unseat enough Democrats to give them a majority on joint ballot. This will give another "sound money" partisan Republican to the United States Senate. Paderewski, the Polish ivory ma nipulator, took a bang at a New York audience last week and raked in $5,650 in one night, which is said to be the biggest haul evermade by a performer in tnat town in one night. The combination of Polan der, much hair, ivory and nimble fin gers is a great thing. LOCAL DOTS. Items of Icnterest Gathered Here and There and Briefly Noted.

The heirs have agreed to a fair division of the estate, valued at $40,000,000, which is a more sensible procedure than letting it be divided up into lawyers' fees and court costs. The dear money advocates tell us that free silver is dead as a result of the recent elections. What, dead again? How many lives has it Jany way?

One of the most refined amateur en tertainments that has ever been given in this city was given at the Opera . House last night by a party ot Wilmington's best talent. Notwithstanding the in clemency of the weather the house was crowded with a very flattering audience composed principally of ladies and lovers of good music. The curtains rose promptly at 8.15 o'clock. In part first with the rendi tion ot Adler's beautiful instrumental composition entitled "March de Salon." rendered by Miss Lavender, piano; Messrs,. Wilson and Schloss, cornets; Al derman, flute; Martin, violin, and Mun son trombone, which was followed by Mr. James D. Smith, who sang in his own pleasant style "Madrienne" Ro manza, by Stultz. He was lavishly en cored, but failed to respond except with one of his most graceful bows, which evoked thundering applause from the audience. Miss Henderson then sang "A Sum mer Night," Thomas, which was greatly enjoyed by the audience, who gave her a hearty encore, for which she sang "Sweetheart Sigh no More" in a very sweet and bewitching manner. Miss Henderson has a very sweet voice and her execution shows great care and study. The cornet solo polka entitled "Belle of the South," by Liberati, ren dered by Mr. Sim Schloss, was in keep ing with "Sim's" reputation as a" cor netist. Next came that beautiful duet, "Good Night." from Martha, Flotow. This was rendered by four of Wilmington's best and most cultured voices, vu: Mrs. Frank, Miss White and Messrs. Smith and A. S. Holden. They received deaf ening applause from the audience, which was recognized by their reappearance and a graceful bow. "Birth of the Roses," a grand instiu mental piece, ended the first part, when the curtain fell and the audience was given five minutes between the acts. Wilmington's popular and accom plished pianist, Miss Cannie Chasten, accompanied the vocalists,, and that charming musician, Miss Lavender, pre: sided at the piano in the instrumental parts. The second part was a beautiful little melo drama, full of wit and humor, en titled "One Too Many for Him," with cast of characters as follows: Mr. De Walker, fond parent, Mr. Carl Schulken; Mr. Cymon Hilton, impetuous bachelor, Mr. Clark; Miss Euphemia De Walker, romantic spinster, Misj Etherige; Isa bella, a young lady with no objection to getting married, Miss Annie - Dudley; Nancy, a house maid with an indepen dent spirit, Miss Hanby. The little play was highly enjoyed by the audience. The performers were re peatedly applauded, and each part was rendered in a most acceptable manner. They showed careful preparation and much credit is due them for this most acceptable amateur entertainment. The committee in charge asks the Star to express their sincere thanks to the ladies and gentlemen who so ably and generously aided in the entertain ment. Common stock, To be given to the city of Wil mington and other municipali ties which have subscribed to the construction of the road, $ 300,COO With each new general mort gage bond, two shares, 537,700 Reserved in treasury of com pany, . 62,310 603,000 900,000 The . present fixed charges upon the property are $183,240. The fixed charges under the proposed plan will be in 1900, after the General Mortgage bonds draw four per cent., only $137,340, or $46,000 less than at present. The gross earnings of the Company for the fiscal year end ing beptember 80, 1895, were $4o,800, operating expenses $400,000 and net earnings $95,200. Daring the receiver ship repairs and betterments have been charged to operating expenses. When the new company is fairly started and the new money provided is expended on the property and equipment, the road can be worked at a much lower per centage and the earning capacity of the property will be largely increased. No re ceiver's certificates have been issued and there is no car trust. We consider the plan of reorganization does full justice to all interests. It is conservative, prac tical and equitable and we think the bondholders will find it to their interest to accept the proposed settlement. U. 8.

For each $1,00) C bond, a new general mortgage 3 and 4 per cent, bond, 750 First preferred stock,six shares; common stock, two shares. The reorganization committee has taken the property as they find it, and have built up a plan of reorganization on the present. earning capacity of the road and upon a basis of equity and fair ness to all in interest. The claim of the A bondholders, that the lien on the di vision covered by their mortgage pos sesses a greater value than that securing the bonds of the B and C divisions, is recognized by an allotment of twenty- five per cent, in uenerai Mortgage Donas in excess of the amount given the B and C bondholders, and the B and C bond holders are given an additional amount of first preferred stock, representing the principal of bonds surrendered. It would appear to us that the A bondholders should find it decidedly to their advan tage to accept the proffered terms. Al though they have a first lien upon the most desirable portion of the property, it is very doubtful whether under any circumstances the courts would permit a dismemberment of the road by a separate sale of the several divisions. All prece dents are against such a ruling, and especially noticeable, in this connection is the case of the old Orange & Alexan dria Railroad (Virginia Midland) where the same state of affairs existed. The Orange & Alexandria was similarly bonded as to the several separate divi sions and the divisional bondholders made an ineffectual effort to have the property sold by divisions. The court refused to permit such dismemberment upon the grounds that the greatest good to the greatest number demanded the preservation of the unity of the proper ty, and that to destroy its unity would be to destroy its value and would be un wise and inequitable. While the trust deed of the Cape rear & Yadkin valley Company provides that the A, B and C bonds shall possess a separate .lien upon their respective divisions, it also provides in case of foreclosure that the road shall be offered as a whole, and only in case of there not being a satisfactory bid, is a separate sale of the several divisions al lowable. At least so it appears to us, and it would also appear that the court is the judge of what may be considered an ac ceptable bid. Article X Ul IUC BglCCUlCUl UCIWCCU the Railroad Company and the Trustee provides that the property shall be held "lor the benefit and security of all and every, the persons or bodies corporate who shall at any time be the holders of said bonds, without preference as to priority in the time of issuing the same, but with the preference and distinction of lien as regards the several series of bonds as is hereinbefore set' forth." Regarding the power of the Trustee to sell the property under foreclosure, the agree ment provides that the Trustee shall proceed "to sell and dispose of at public sale all and singular the said railroad, hereby mortgaged or agreed, or in tended so to be, to the highest bidder, offering the same first as an entirety, and in case no acceptable bidder is forth coming for the said property as an en tirety, then the said Trustee shall pro ceed to sell separately the three divisions of the road, hereinbefore made and upon which the several series ot oonas are hereby made or intended to be made first liens." Article 5 provides: "It is further cove natedand agreed that the sale of the aforesaid railroad, franchises and appur tenances made under provisions herein, the party of the second part (the Trus tee), its successor or successors, may per sonally or by its agent, purchase the property so offered for sale on behalf of the holders of the bonds issued hereunder upon such terms as may be equitable and just to the holders of the several series of said bonds." Article 13 says: "The right of action under this indenture is vested exclu sively in the trustee, and under no cir cumstances shall any bondholder or number of bondholders have any right to institute an action or other proceeding on or under this indenture for the pur pose of enforcing any remedy herein and hereby provided except in case of refu sal on the part ot the trustee to perform any dntv imposed on it by this agree ment, etc." BY RIVER AND RAIL. and Cotton Beoeipta of Baval Stores Yesterday.

The Southern Railway begins active preparations to reach their deep water termkus at Norfolk by replacing the track of the North Carolina Railroad between Greensboro and Goldsboro with heavier rails. The work is now full, under way. At present the laying of the new rails will not extend beyond Nelson, a point 20 miles beyond Raleigh. The reason for this is that the Southern has a supply of 60-pound rails which they desire to utilize and they are placing it to the best advantage. Next year still heavier rails will be placed on the road between Greensboro and Selma. - The terminal work at Pinners Point and Portsmouth will soon be completed The line of vessels which go to West Point will likely change their route on the first of Tanuary making Norfolk the objective point. It is interesting to note that Mr. Bradley, the recently elected Republi can Governor of Kentucky, who is being urged so persistently and so early in the game for the Vice Presidential nomina tion, is an old North Carolina favorite in Republican circles'. In 1888 Loge Harris nominated Mr. Bradley as a Southern Republican for the Vice Presi dency. He was quite, a young man then, and is still so, Mr. Harris says. Mr. Bradley received the solid vote of the North Carolina delegation for the Vice Presidency. The chrysanthemum show, which is an annual feature in this city, begins on Wednesday and will last two days. The weather is cold and disagreeable this morning. Snow, is predicted by old-timers.

The Supreme Court takes up appeals trom the Seventh district this week. The Wilmington Bank cases will likely be reached. A cotton firm in this city which buys extensively for Southern mills has re ceived several telegrams of late making inquiries about the light weight of the bales of cotton. It is a generally known fact that bales do weigh less this year than last. The firm after inquiring about, learned this to be the case. One ginaer remarked that he had not been able to make a heavy bale of cotton this year. This fact is attributed to the drought. Cotton was so light and dry, that it was impossible to get -the usual amount baled. The firm in this - city after in quiry estimates a deficiency of ten pounds to the bale. At a crop estimate of 7,200,000, there would be a deficiency of 162,000 or something over two per cent of the crop. Here is a bull argu ment which has not been brought into account. A dwelling caught a fire last night on Fayetteville street, just below the Yar borough. It was raining hard and it looked for awhile as if the flames would do a deal of damage.
