PUBLIC HEAX.XH-1 IMPOR TANT HINT. , The Star would like tojdoits duty in the matter of the pjublic health. All it can do is to spr saa informa tioogather facts and enforce duty. In our discussion of the! scavenger work, &c, a few days ago we over looked one extremely in portant point that has been called to-on attention by one of the older c tizens. In former discussions we r sfjpred to the matter to be now considered. When it is known that the scav engers take night soil and deposit it within Sixteenth street you will see at once that here is onp (great cause of disease. What can "possibly be more hurtful to the public health than to have these deposits constant ly made within city jitaits and not distant from many dwellings? If you will turn to the Old Testament and read God's own law in. dealing with such deposits yon will nd the best possible sanitary regulations known to civilization regulations that are systematically, constantly, invariably disregarded in Wilmington. The person referred jto who re minded us of this great cause of sick- ness assures us mat w wind is blowing the stench about the limits of the city in thai direction is unendurable. There is 'no reason why this offense should exist. There aure it should ly is no reason why continue. Last year, in a conversa- tion with one of the best informed of our physicians in regard to the exces- sive death rate, we were old that ev idently one of the chifcf pauses of sp much sickness and mortality was the depositing of the nigp.tsoil so near the city. J j : Another most important question for our people is the j water supply. How can there be sound health with ljad water? We were ia Edgecombe county some seventeen years ago. A farmer was having bored an artesian well.! We asked why jhej resorted to this plan? His 1 reply was: "Four miles from here there is la plantation with over a hundred negroes upon it, They were always having chills and fevers, Some years ago the owner il ad an artesian well constructed and icted and of water closed up all other sources on riTil tr TVia roanlt. ia ii at itnw nina has chills they have all disappeared." If you drink impure water you do it at a risk. Water jderived from sources contaminated .by animal and vegetable matter is not fit for drink ing purposes until it has teen sub jected to thorough purification. It matters not how this is done, so it is done. - In all water into! which ani mat and vegetable matter enters there are organic germ of a Derni- cious character. Remember this. You cannot take parasites into the human organism without danger. These parasites live on the tissues and take possession of j the internal organisms and scourges follow often. The waters under the earth and the streams are very apt to be filled with f Vi aan n nooon anmoa f Aionnar. irtnf surely and inevitably do their fateful and insidious' work. An! infinite pro- Without constant purification people may be drinking death. Bacteria, as iuejr are caueu, swim in an me arms ing water in Wilmington, we may well believe. But just here people will not listen or heed J All water ought to be filtered or boiled before unu&iDg, uoiess it is ascertained py thorough analysis that the water is .free; from animalculae. The people have to learn much that is important in the matter of drinking water. No sink or similar source of infec tion and destruction should be toler ated in any town. Instruction at this point is a positive necessity. If those having charge of the public health would consult the leading physicians they would learn that jinj the matter of sinks, &c, the carting away of soil and the purifying of drinking water there was the greatest need of attention'- v.. .-,i:.t ONLY FOUR. Lawyers, are not so much in vogue as legislators as formerly. In the re oent General Assembly of North Car olina there were fewer lawyers than probably ever before.; We notice tnat in the Connecticut" Legislaturel out of 249 members there were but four lawyers. It is said to have beeo an excellent working boay and to have done its business with dispatch and wise purpose. We J are glad to see the people turning to other callings in life from which to select legislators. In saying this jwe do not jain in any prejudice against the le gal fraternity. In every fegislative body there ought, to be a dozen or twenty experienced lawyers. In all periods of our history the great law yers'have been great patriots. But it is well to divide the legislature be tween many callings and tins have the interests of all represented. .But when a man learns the manner of transacting legislative' business by experience, do not then turn him out and put in a green hand, Crudeness of work must follow suoh a course, i THE SOUTH FOK THREE MONTHS. The Baltimore Manufacturer? Re cord publishes the quarterly report of industrial operations in the South. The increase from 1st January to 1st April Jin new enterprises is most marked. There is unquestionably great, adyance1 in . . manufacturing schemes and enterprises. The agri- ' cultural interest the sure founda tion of all sound, geuuine prosperity languishes, but the manufacturing interest is rapidly progressing. -We believe that the facts and figures are both alluring and misleading. That is to say, they induce others to plunge in, and they show a magnitude of investment that indicates more pros perity than is genuine, i Reading the figures one would conclude that there was an universal "boom" and that all through thj South there was the greatest prosperity. ; - 1 ; i ne i act id, mere is out nine gen eral prosperity. In perhaps half of the South there are business stagna tion, unsatisfactory results', and pe- cuniary stress among the farmers. This is true, we have no doubt of it, and iv lis well to bear it in mind while reading of the tremendous in crease in industrial, activity and in vestments.! The Record says: j .During the first three months of 1887 about 40 land companies, having an aggre gate c-ipital stock of $45,000,000. were or gaeized in the j Southern States. These companies were! formed ia some. instances to build pew manufacturing and mining towns, but many of them were organized to developj the industries of old places." j j ; The iron interest ia progressing with great strides. At a half dozen or more activity. iron centres there is great We again -quote from the article in the Record t 1 1 "The LmpoiUuce of this is thoroughly appreciated, and no tooner is a company oraoizrd.to build a furnace than arrange m .-uis are made for establishing in the same place iodistrits to use up the pig iron that the furnace wi.l produce.! ! At every town in ' the Poulb Birmingham, Anniston, Cbaltanoqga, Decatur, Bessemer, South PilfaburgJ &o. we see the truth of this statement In all other lines of manufac tureas well s in iron great advancement is being made. The cotton mills are en larging teir capacity by adding machin ery, while new mills are going up in many places, add ibia, destined to be one of the greatest of all Southern j industries, is re ceiving more attention than for several years. Id the manufacture of furniture; in the canning of fruits and vegetables, for which I be South affords such splendid op portunities in lumber interests, &c , there is the same rapid growth noticed as in the larger industries of iron and cotton." i i Ia the first three months of 188?, there were chartered or organized 926 new" concerns, divided into 1? furnace companies, 31 machine shops, &c, 141 mining and qaarrjiog en terprises, 15 cotton mill companies, 17 electric works, 22 water works, 35 ice factories, 0 oottou compresses, 22 canning factories, 15 furniture facto ries, 12 i iragon . f actohes, &o. There were 11( railroad companies and 26 street railroad companies incorpo rated. But this will mislead. Pro bably not one-fourth1 will be con structed. The Record thus sums up the operations for three months in the South: -First three months of- 1887. i 1886.1 ! 1 3.345,500 6,110,000 485,000 530.000 9,648 200 979.000 2.215,000 135,000 715.000 90.000 2,324 000 1.991,000 4.502,500 3.488.800 Alamaba.

" We have not seen the full text of Col. Waddell's fine address in Rich mond, Va., but what we have seen is very admirable. We copy a ?para graph or so elsewhere that , is im pressively eloquent and felioitous. We were pleased to read his manly and earnest defenoe of the men who fought the battles- on the Southern side,' and his rebnke to those who have tried to stamp the heroes of the South with the name of traitors and rebels. The gifted author of "Don MifP' was severely , right when he said that it was underbred to apply, the term rebel to the Southern sol i dier. CoL Waddell also rebukes another class the men born in the South who have caught up the glib phrase "New South" and used it as a term of indirect reproach to the men who have ; given all the glory : and renown that attaoh to the name of Soutb. We had j occasion to priok this bladder of oonoeit and abuse a few weeks ago.' Col.. Waddell is as happy in expression as incisive in touch in dealing with this ugly, fes. tering nicer. We make room - for a part of what he says: : - -v '.f --y f "Men speak of the 'New South' as if some transformation of character and ideas bad occurred under the beneficent influence of a higher civilization with which the Southern people have been brought into contact. There is no 'New South' in any such sense. Except that it is no longer a slave-holding country, the South to day is the Soutb of the past chastened-and strengthened by such an experience as would have emasculated and destroyed any but a great and heroic people. To her own sons, and largely to those who bore her stainless banner to victory on a hundred battle-fields, is she indebted for the tre mendous energies with which she is thrill ing and which are destined to place her in the fore'front of civilization.. She is the same old South from whose fertile womb the giants of American history sprang, which in the olden time gave to humanity the example of Washington and enriched the records of the race with the names of Jefferson, and Madison, and Marshal, and Lee. and Randolph, and Pinckney. and their associates, and in latter days has uursed some of the noblest characters and some of the grandest men who ever walked trie eartb.. s THE TOBT L1V OF COEBCION. The Coercion law that arouses the indignation and threats of even mod erate Irishmen and even stirs the con servative element in England, is a monstrous law for the closing quar ter of the Enlightened and progres sive nineteenth century. It is not surprising that Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Parnell should oppose it at every turn and denounce it as oppressive and grievous. It is not surprising that Mr. Dillon should meet it with bold defiance and even go so far as to thrust the chances of civil war right into the teeth of the Tory leaders, who seem stricken with ju dicial blindness. ! The principles of the new law invite resistance, and if only Toryism existed in the King dom there might be wars and rumors of wars. i j :, ;:.. V - The law is twofold. It first pro-; poses to deal with lighter orimes anil offences. For these jury trial is completely suspended. Justices of the Peaces have-power to imprison for six months without appeal. These officers of the law are made judges of , law and fact. In their hands are placed the dearest liberties of the people. These are paid mag istrates and they can take action without any accusation whatever. Just imagine' if you can such a law tn force in North Carolina if you would understand its import and enormity. It is a most infamous law. . .;V, ;V X A-V J The other class of offences are those against life and person. These are not to be -tried in Ireland where they are alleged to have been com mitted, but to be tried in England. The Philadelphia American says of this subversive, this destructive law: This ia clearly a violation of the Treaty of Union of 1800, which promised the Irish just such treatment as the other subjects of the Government of the United Kingdom were to receive.. No ministry dare propose that ao English msn or a Scotchman should be tried in Dublin for an offence not com mitted in Ireland. It also is a viola tion of the spirit of the British Consti tion, which provides for a trial by a jury of the prisoner's 'peers,' land secures even to aliens a jury composed half of aliens of bis own nationality. But the Treaty of Union; is sacred only in the chnses which rob Ire-! land of self-government; the clauses which secure the liberty of the subject go for nothing with the Tory party." ; Such is the Tory programme. And John Bright sustains this infamy. How has the mighty fallen! It is well for ; the Southern people, who have had within 25 years a taste of oppressive legislation at the hands of Republican usurpers, bull-dozers and tools, to understand the intent and sweeping force of the new radi cal Tory procedure.

A petition was received by the Inter-State Commerce Com mission to-day, from John! B.

A petition, having a like purport, has been received from, T. J. Sage, General -Manager of the Georgia Pacific Railway Co. In addition to the fact of the envi ronment and Intersection of its territory by water lines, it sets - forth . that Its line for one hundred miles is confined with in the boundaries of . the Coosa, -Ca hawba and Black warrior coal fields sec tion, devoid of agricultural resources and necessarily dependent upon the petitioner for the distribution of its mineral and coal products. : This section is sparsely settled and local consumption is limited.

At half- past 4 o'clock tbis morning about sixty un disguised men forcibly entered the jail at Yorkville, broke open the cells and seized Giles Good, Bailey Dowdle. Dan Roberts, Prendley Thompson and: Mose Lipscomb, the neeroes charged with the murder of John Lee Good, a young white lad, in December last. Taking the prisoners one mile north of the village they hanged them to the limbs of trees.) These negroes or ganized a conspiracy in tbe fall of 1886 to steal cotton, and to murder if necessary to conceal their crimes, and they killed young Good for informing on them. ' The prison ers were to have been tried this week, but tbe lynchers got ahead of the law. - j In the Court of General Sessions to-day Judge Pressley charged the grand jury that while such cases are to be deplored; yet, liko tbe Edgefield case, it Would be difficult to convict any one through the courts. He said 1 he law should be changed so as to al low sheriffs to summon a posse sufficient to guard their prisoners. - The lynchers are not known and no steps ' nave as yet been taken to identify them. Tbe bodies of the five negroes were taken charge of and buried by tbe county authorities. The lynching was quietly executed and showed thorough organization on the part of those engaged in It- John Lee Good, the mur dered boy, was 12 years old, and a son of William Good, a prominent farmer of York county. OntheSOih of November he de tected several negroes stealing cotton from his father's field. They -set upon him and beat him to death to prcventh is informing on them. Mose Lipscomb, Dan Roberts, Bailey Dowdle and Printy Thompson were suspected and arrested. Printy and Dan confessed that they did the killing and im plicated others. Subsequent investigation showed that these negroes belonged to a large band, wbo were bound together by se cret oaths for the purpose! of robbery and to, kill any one. who . detected them in the act of stealing. ; ' a i -.-'i VIRGINIA.

S.-v ''".:..i-;":!V rv It is the custom of the, literary societies of William Jewell College, at Liberty, each year to select a distinguished m-in to deliver the address during, the commencement ex ercises. At a joint meeting-of the societies two weeks ago a freshman named Roddy nominated Jefferson Davis to deliver the address this year, and read what he de clared to be a .letter he bad received from Mr. Davis in reply to one he had written. In the professed letter Mr. Davis says if in vited to. address the societies he would gladly do so. Suspecting the genuineness of the letter the students appointed acorn mittee which wrote to the ex-President of the Confederacy, asking if he had received a communication f rem Roddy and if he had replied as stated. A few days ago the committee heard from Mr. Davis.' He said he had received no communication upon the subject mentioned in the committee's etter, and that he could not have written the letter read by Roddy because be was not at the place at which it was dated at the time. He added that ho would not say whether or not he would deliver an address at William Jewell College until ho was in formed whether such act was desirable. The students regard this as an intimation that Mr. Davis would 'favorably consider such an invitation, and at the next regular meeting they will vote to invite him. The Commencement exercises will be held in June. As for young Roddy, he will be tried by the students upon the charge of forgery and misrepresentation, and will probably be expelled from the society of which he is a member. -. r-.i,- v GENERAL RIPLEY, Burial of the Dead Soldier In UlaiBS lla Cemetery, Charleston The Fune ral Attended T an Immense Con course of People The Grave Covered with Floral Tributes. -'.;': j:..V--jPr Charleston, April 8.

By Telegraph to the Morning Star. ", Chicago. April 6. A special from Vlnita, I. T., referring to ' the mine dis aster at Savannah, Tuesday, says: The body of gas fired must have been immense; the torrent of flames forced from the mouth of the slope was over one hundred feet in height and illuminated tbe whole; country like an immense flash of lightning. It was followed with such a concussion as to startle every one for miles around, and people in the immediate vicinity were severely shocked. The engine house and lifting works, a structure over ono hundred feet long and two stories high, was blown into splinterB by the current- driven out of the slope, and in a few minutes was enveloped in flames From the character of the build ing, and being literally saturated with oil, it was not possible to save anything from the flames. There were six men. in the mine at the moment of the explosion, which occurred at 1.10 p. m. These men were all killed.' Their names were: Miles Jarrett, Dave Jones, Hugh Dooley, Wm. Barnes, Chas. Parson and Bert French, - The most distressing part of the accident is the suffocation of thirteen more, who were attempting with others to reach the fated men through an adjoining mine. They were James Ward, James McGinnis, Fred Bolz, Thomas Naven. Mike Kelly, Thomas Daniels, George Hill, Pat Glaney, Robert Miller. Pat Fagan, John Williams, Peter Renald and - Wm. Hudson. The workings of the two mines run together far , down in the mines, but these means of com ' munlcation have never been attended tot nor was the top open or in order, although they f urnUh they only means of escape from one mine to another, and now, when they are needed, it iJ impossible to get sufficient air through the old disused entries to en able the men to prosecute the search. Out of the first party attempting to reach No. 2 five were lest and are still in the mine. A second party or twelve or fifteen went down. At this writing eight of these are reported lost in the mine, overcome with after damp and undoubtedly dead. This makes thirteen lives already sacrificed to neglect In securing proper ventilation and getting rid of the gasses," .which form in large quantities in the mine.' There Is no telling what may be the further loss of life in the attempt to rescue the bodies of those now in the mine. - A cutting is now being driven through into one of the upper lifts or entries. When done, it is hoped they will be able to at least rescue the bodies of the unfortunates, i Fans have been started in No. 3 by attaching the boiler of a .Switching locomotive to the Bteam pipes.
