Mr. and Mrs. Bryan left' New ( York yesterday for Irvington-on-ihe-Hudson; Mr. Bryan expressed gratification that none of the New York papers had referred to him as an Anarchist since he arrived.

The last name suggests that the old folks may think that McKinley and Hobatt may. have some climbing to do. It is reported that President Clevelandmay come to Washington to welcome Li Hung Chang. If Mr. Cleveland quits' baitinz his hooks long enough to come to Washington on that business,! Li should take it as a great compliment. 1 The New York Times remarks that "Mr. Bryan is beaten. This predic tion rriay be as well recorded now as at some later day." Just so. An editor who is fully determined to make himself ridiculous may as well do it and be done with it. The gold organs take pleasure in the statement that the gold reserve, after which the "patriotic" bankers are now looking, is still above the $100,000,000 notch. But about $20, 000,000 have been pulled out of it since July 1st, all the same. The Monroe Enquirer titters the following thoroughbred Democratic sentiment: "He Is a mighty poor Democrat who stands around with his hands in his pockets and prophe 1 sies--dast sies the defeat of his nartv.

It is said they have already; turned out about $2,500,000. That's what Senator Ransom writes Secretary Carlisle. The New York Advertiser informs us that the city of Elmira, N. Y., is unable to float a loan of $95,000, owing to the "agitation" of the maney question. They are playing this old chestnut too much, for the people now understand pretty well the programme of the money lenders in giving their "object lessons." Mr. McKinley says he believes it is a great deal better to open the mills than to open the mints. But there are a great many people in this country, and the number is increas ing, who believe it would be better to open both. The sooner the mints are opened the better the prospect for the mills. ., A New York actress who was bathing recently was seized by an unsophisticated octopus, but the oc topus dropped her when he discov ered what he had tackled.

SENSATIONAL YARN Told by a Han Who Claimed; to he One of the Crew of the Steamer Iianrada. :' -" A stranger in the city yesterday caused quite a sensation by starting a rnmor that the filibustering steamer Laurada, which lelt New York some days ago for Cuba, had been seen of Caswell; at the mouth of the Cape Fear- r.ver, and after she went out that he was sent to the city to make arrangements for her de parture, the chief engineer having died of yellow fever during the voyage, and that the coal gave out. He at 'first went to Capt. Jeff Smith, engineer on the Sea Coast .railroad, telling him the Laurada had been chased by the Colfax for ten hours and escaped capture and was now of! Caswell in need of an engi neer, saying that the regular engineer died at sea of yellow fever, and offering Engineer Smith one thousand dollars in gold to make the trip. . Capt. Smith told him that he would land ; the Laurada safely at any port in Cuba for $2 500, half in advance. The stranger left him, saying that he would meet him later. A Star reporter, having heard the rumor, started out to follow it up and found that the same man had visited Fowler & Morrison's office and told Mr. Rufos Penny and Mr. Nick Mor ris the, same tale . and ordered coal for the filibuster and left .there saying he would secure a tug and barge to take men. coal, etc., to the Laurada. He didn't return and failed to keep his appointments, and his tale was naturally unbelieved. Capt. Harper was asked about the truth of his statements, having returned from Southport at three o'clock, and said he had heard nothing of the matter. It was afterwards ascer tained that the stranger was from South port and had been on an extended spree. It is needless to say that the report caused quite a sensation and much com-. ment on the streets. BASE BALL. The Standing of Olaba of the National League. Now is the time that the Clubs com prising the National League are awaken ing to the fact that only a short while remains before the race for the pennant of 1896 will be a thing of the past. Each club is now putting its best foot foremost, so to speak, and much better ball playing may be ex pected the balance of the season. Not only will the race for first position be spirited and close, but number "two" will almost be equally so, as the receipts from the games for the Temple Cup are now a most important factor in the financial affairs of the ball player hav ing the good luck to be with a team oc cupying first or second place. The standing of the clubs, including the games played yesterday, is as fol lows. '. Won. Lost. 29 80 85 41 41 43 51 51 55 57 65 67 Per cent. Baltimore ... Cincinnati . Cleveland . . .

Craig, who were returning to the city from a walk in the country last Friday afternoon, discovered the corner of a box protruding out ' of a sand hill be tween Third and Dawson streets and the W., N. & N, ... railroad track. J no. and Joe had both heard of the old say ing that money had been buried in that . section, so, with a vim they both went to work to unearth the box, and upon opening it, to their surprise, found the body of an infant, which looked as if it had been buried about two weeks. They could not tell whether it was a white or black child, owing to its decayed condi tion. Thev -returned to the city and notified the coroner, who went out and had the body re-interred. City Court.

CONFUSION ASSURED BY THE ACTION OF THE REPUBLICAN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE- Dookery to Ban With Bacsttl All Other Vaaanoies on the Ticket Filled by the - Appointment of Populiit Bomt neei An Addreea Iaaaed Ad vialng Foaloa in Canntiee With PopolUta. -Special Star Correspondence Raleigh, N. C. August 15. The Republican Executive Committee is in session this morning. Nothing was fully determined upon at the con ference last evening. - 'T- v . It is learned that Senator Pritchard has thrown ont some strong hints to udge Russell that he should get out of the race, so that fusion could be ar- canged. The Judge was opposed to the plan of nominating Dockery for- Lieu tenant Governor, but it is understood that he has given his consent. The Republicans are very much at sea. There is a growing sentiment in favor of putting out a straight ticket. The leaders are afraid to take the chances of atbree-cornered fight, when fusion means a certainty. Populists all profess to be highly de lighted with the ticket put forth. Ed. Kesler says he will never attend another Populist Convention as long as Marion Butler is in the State. If Pritchard was the boss in the Re publican Convention, Butler was the Czar among the Populists. Never did a man so absolutely and openly dictate and monopolize a convention. Not a move was made without Butler s hand appeared. When he was not at the helm, he sent Walter Henry and L. C. Caldwell to turn the lever. Cy Watson spoke to a large crowd yesterday at Littleton. This is his first speech delivered in "this section of the State. At eleven o'clock the Republican Ex ecutive Committee adjourned. It was agreed to fill the vacancies in the ticket lelt open by the Republican Conven tion with the Populist nominets; that is, Cy Thompson, Mebane, Worth, Col. Dockery and Judge Montgomery, were taken. It was also decided to make the campaign headquarters here. Hugh L. Grant was elected treasurer for the campaign. Ben. Duke forwarded a check for $500 to C. B Edwards of this city, as a gift to the Odd Fellows Orphan Asylum at Goldsboro. Mr. Duke is not an Odd Fellow. Senator Butler's brother, Henry But ler, who has been connected with the Caucasian, leaves in a few days to take a position in the Populist headquarters at Washington, D. L-. Claude M. Bernard says the action of the . Republican committee means the election of McKinley electors, and unites all elements of the party. The KeDublican committee issued an address to the Republicans of the State, 'advising fusion in all the counties with Populists in order to elect a Republican U. S. Senator. SUNDAY SERVICES.

Vaudeville at Hilton Park. I It is said that a feature of the enter tainment to be offered at Hilton Park next week will be the Smiths, two of the cleverest actors in the rank of vaudeville. They are musicians of ability and intro duce a pleasing succession of mandolin. banjo, guitar.' picolo, octerene and mu sette solos. This portion of their act is a novelty and distinct from other simi lar performances froaa the fact that it introduces the wide range of national airs and flags. It concludes with the "Goddess of Liberty," a pretty and pleasing tableau, enlivened by a rattling musical accompaniment and brightened by a brilliant display of colored fires.

Ex-Qovsrnor Peck Baya That the Bpeeeh of Bryan Will Carry the Country for the Demooratlo Ticket, To W. R. Hearst, New York Journal Bryan's speech was the best I ever lis tened to, and I heard every word of it It cannot help setting business men of the East to thinking of something be sides the gold they never See, and to asking where the trade is that they have lost in the West and South, because the people do not get enough for their crops to enanie mem to buy anything. That speech carries . the countrv for the Democratic ticket. All I want is a million copies of it to use in Wisconsin, and he can have the electoral vote. George W. Peck, Former Governor of Wisconsin. Southern Lumber io Eastern Markete. The Boston Commercial Bulletin says: There are but few large orders for pitch pine being placed, but the outlook is rather better than it was two or three weeks ago. The Fall may see the place ment of some good sized orders, as work cf magnitude is in sight. The yard trade in pitch pine is fair and prices are maintained owing to the brm stan a taken by the mills which are quite firm in their prices. North Caro lina pine is more active than any other kind of lumber and prices are steady. The call for cypress is fair also. It This Bo, Judge?
