Here is an opportunity for a Pennsylvania man to break the rec ord as a lone liver. He has just come out of the penitentiary after serving a two years term for embez zlement as a bank, officer. Another depositor pounced on him as soon as he got out, and the question for the courts to decide is whether he may be imprisoned again on the prosecu tion of this depositor. If so, the dispatch informs us, there are som; 350 cases on which he may be prose cuted and sentenced, "which might keep htm in prison some seven hun dred years." If he is ambitious to live long he has a chance, if the law does not interfere. KaUer William is charitably sup posed by a good many people to have an insane streak in him. Some of his wild utterances justify this opinion, especially his latest, where he is reported as having advised army officers to "keep to their casinos while drinking, not to move among civilians while tipsy, to avoid rows but if forced to use weapons to do lit thoroughly." One of them had a short while before that run his sword into and killed a civilian be cause he refused to apologize for striking his chair against the chair of the officer in getting up from a table. Notwithstanding trie great "ver dict of the people", and the so called "landsiide'.at the last elec tion there will be more Democrats in the next House of Representatives than are in this one. There are in this one 252 Republicans, 92 Demo crats and 15 Populists. -Han na couldn't work the racket as well on the congressional districts as he did on the Presidential electors; The London and Northwestern railway company is said to be the greatest corporation in the world.

An English physician now travel ling in this country expresses sur prise at the fondness for patent medi cines. He hasn't been here long enough to catch onto these seductive pictures, "before and after" tak ing. If he had been perhaps he could understand this thing. . .

University "vs. Wilmington at Hilton Park To-morrow Afternoon. Editor Star Thanksgiving is al most here.' The turkeys are gobbling their last gobble and to bear our foot ball boys talk, the poor little (?) boys' from the University of North Carolina will gobble their last foot ball gobble to morrow afternoon; but time alone will tell this. The University bo,s are in tip top shape and are going to put np the game of their life to regain the laurels thev lost last year, while our boys are ready for them and a battle such as never seen before will be witnessed on the Hilton Park gridiron. To-morrow being a general holiday no doubt, at least, three thousand of our people will yell themselves hoarse when Souther laud bangs the line for a good gain or Sawyer and Robbins skirt the ends for fifteen yards, more or less, and, of course, the little 'Varsity darlings will come in for their share, as the baby blue and white is popular in Wilmington. Let's 11 be out and see this battle ot brawn and brain and go home with the firm conviction that "we are the stuff." ust as soon as we get the ball. Tney won't be in the game at all; King, be will snap it to Pescban s bands. Savage and Terry will show their sand, While the rest of the line are solid as rock - Ojr "backs" will give them a terrible shock. The ball will go over the line. For a touch-down, a touch-down. We've done it before and we'll do it once more. A touch-down, a touch-down, And Pescbau will make it a goal. , Y. M- C. A. The Contest of tbe "Bad." and tbe "Blue." for New Members. The Y. M. C. A. contest for the "Reds" and the "Blues" started off bright and early yesterday morning. There is every indication that the members are thoroughly aroused and mean to win. Captains Tennent and Whitlock were kept pretty botv all day getting their men in linesending out advices and in structions and laying plans for the future condact of the campaign. The "Blues" won the first skirmish by winning the honor of bringing in the first application under the contest. Mr. A. J. Howell, Jr., brought in a name at 11.80 in tbe morning. Tbe news seemed to stir the "Reds" up lively, and they soon had two names to their credit, and were ahead when the building closed. A double thermometer was fixed up in tbe reception room of the building yesterday, which will keep the contest ants posted on the state of the fight. Two pieces of ribbon will rise as the names come in, and show at all times just how many each side has to its' credit. Tbe ladies are to be enlisted in the cause. A meeting of the Auxiliary is called for to-morrow, and they will be' divided into the two colors and will probably help out tbe lists well. The exultation of the "B ues over the "first blood" (see blackboard at head of stairs) is in order. The Reds," how ever, have no cause for discouragement, as tbe first day's work shows them fully 100 per cent, ahead in actual results. "He laughs best who laughs last ' Xi'Artoso Qerman.

Among the decisions . handed down by the Supreme Court last Tuetd iy wee rules against the aher.fi of Cberckse and Surry counties for f-ilure to comply with orders ot the Court. The two sheriffs were summoned to appear here at the February term. ; The penalty for j the offence of which they are charged is tlOO fine. This is the first time since 1878 that the Supreme Court has pro ceeded against a sheriff in this manner. An election is being held in Cary, this county,' to-day. - At the last general election the Republican and Demccratic candidates for magistrate received a tie vote end a new election was ordered. Qaite a number of Raleigbites will go to Richmond Thursday to witness the foot ball contest between tbe elevens, of the Universities oi Virginia and North Carolina. The Carolina boys have made decided improvement in their play dur ing the past ten days, and tbe boys are hopeful of victory. The State officers are busily engaged in getting up their annual reports. This year the reports will be put out earlier than usual. Governor Carr makes his biennial report to the Legislature before turning over his office to his successor. : Chairman Ayer says be is unable to give any figures as to the complexion of tbe Legislature. Strange to say, no one save those at Republican headquarters claim to know and they cannot give the number of Populists and Democrats. The Republicans say they have seventy one on j tint ballot, Populists are claiming the speaker ship this eaily in ad vane. We have heard them claim before. But the peo ple have lona since learned the procliv ities of the Populists. If the party had nothing but a jack-knife it would trade that. The speakership is on sale, like many other honorable offices. : Special Star Telegram Mapr Guthrie is here to-dav and vis ited tbe Caucasian office. He declared himself a thorough Populist. It is declared by Republicans in offi cial circles that Pritchard's chances for re-election are even better than two years ago. W. Holleman, of this county, brought suit against a drug firm for 3,000 dam? ages for selling hia wife opium after he had warned and counselled the druggists not, to do so.' Judge Mclver sustained the demurrer of defendants in the Supe rior Court, but the Supreme Court over ruled this and sustains the husband. The case is without precedent in English common law courts. The Biblical Recorder says to-day: "We have never had any doubt but that members of the last General Assembly and Of the one just elected are largely in favor : of reducing appropriations to higher; education, with the view ulti mately of cutting them off entirely." Tbe Caucasian will say to-morrow: "We repudiate, tbe charges that any Populist member of the Legis'a ure is pledged to vote for a gold-bug Senator. Ii any one is pledged, who has got the pledge then? We challenge the man who holds such pledges to give the name of a 'single member as pledged. In fact, we denounce the claim as false and an insult to the People's party. If there is any doubt about where any candidate stands, let him be required to make a pledge like Zeb Vance made. There never was a time when it was more important for the people to be certain where a man stands before they send him to the Senate than now. We have no fear that any Populist will vote to send a gold-bug to the Senate." The paper states plainly that Popu lists do not want any advice from Demo crats as to the1 election of Senator. The Caucasian says Pritchard was converted by tbe gold men, but did not have the courage of his convictions. It says he made a few speeches., confining l it ' ' I . f J nimseii to manuiaciuring towns, ana that he could not be gotten to speak where' he was likely to have a large Pop ulist audience. N. C.
