that he was damaged by not being

Held, That plaintiff's entry raised
the Question of how much defendant
was' damaged thereby, and defendant

State vs. John F. Divine.
The defendant, superintendent of
fhejW., C& A. R. R., is prosecuted
criminally under sections 2,328-2330,
chapter 10, volume 2 of the Code,
making it a misdemeanor and pro
viding that the president and super
intendent of the company as well as
thel engineer and conductor of tbe
train may be indicted, whenever any
stock is killed : by any railroad train
in the counties of Columbus, &c.,&c;
provided that the indictable parties
do 'not refer the question of damages
fokilling the stock therein provided
for and pay the damages assessed.
At the trial the jury found a special
verdict covering the fact of the kill-:
ing and that the railroad company:
refused to refer the damages accord
ing to the statute, that the defendant
was not on the tram and in no way
connected with the killing. The
verdict did not conclude that the de
fendant "is or is not guilty" as the
opinion of the court may be on the
facts found.
Held, That the jury must pass on
the guilt of the accused and the spe
cial verdict not finding that the de
fendant was or was not guilty as the
opinion of the court might be, was
no verdict at all, and the alleged ver
dict must be set aside, and there must
be further proceedings below.
Held, That the statute, . since it
makes an act divested of any pecu
liar circumstances indictable only in
particular counties, is lacking in
those essential elements of equality
and uniformity which are fundamen
tal conditions of all just and consti
tutional legislation. j
Heid, That since the statute makes
the killing of the stock prima fade
evidence of negligence on the trial
of the indictment against a person in
no wise connectea witn tne act, it
subverts the fundamental rule of
justice that every one shall be pre
sumed innocent until he is found
guiity. ; J
Held, lnat the state cannot de
prive any one within its jurisdiction
of tbe equal protection of the laws,
by which is meant equal security un
der them' to J every one on similar
terms in his lite,! his liberty, his pro
perty and in the pursuit of happi
ness. rJo greater burdens should be
laid upon one than are laid upon
others in the same calling and condi
tion. ' I .-I"-!
Held, That the Legislature has
not the sanction of the Constitution
and cannot be
upheld as within the
competency
of the law-making
power.
. No Boom for Doubt
Wash. Post, Dem.
Every Democrat who believes in
standing by his party, in support of
its principles and policy will fall into
line at once. There is no other course
to pursue, absolutely no other alter
native action, innless he is willing to
walk out into the cold and slam the
door behind him. , I
Heretofore the Chicago platform-
has been the pnly Democratic law
oearing upon iiie surplus, iid icuuu
tion and the prevention of its in
crease, mat; piattorm was amDigu-
ous enough to admit of two con
structions, and tbe high tariff Demo
crats insisted that they, and not the
great majority of the p&rty, were
acting in strict accord with party
opinionH as expressed in the record.
j The message of the President,' re
cognized as he is everywhere as the
leader of his party and its candidate
in the mighty struggle oi mats, is
the law for every Democrat, and so
he must consider it. Of course, as a
free citizen of the Republic, be may
do as he pleases; but he has been
served with notice that tariff reform
is the great 'party issue, and if he
does not conform to it he becomes,
with his eyes wide open, a deserter
and an outcast. ' I
The Democrat who now dodges
or allies himself witn tne enemy
knows just what he is doing! and
must expect a creat deal of -justice
and very little mercy.

London, Dec. i4 Balfour, Chief Secre
tary for Ireland, addressed an immense as
semblage in the Free Trade Hall at Man
ches;er tj-night.f In consequence of warn
ings that a plot had been formed to assassi
nate Balfour, police guarded the approaches
to the platform and were stationed at vari
ous points in tbe interior of the ball. Barri
cades around Free Trade Hall were extended
to the Town Hall, where Balfour sleeps
under guard. ! j As Balfour appeared upon
tbe platform tbe cheering by a portion of
the audience failed to drown the hisses of
another portion.' The preliminary speak
ing was amid great disorder. , A number
of rights took place and many persons were
ejected from the hall. - The malcontent
element was finally subdued. Balfour, in
an elaborate criticism on the most recent
speeches in favor of home rule, compared
Sir Gecrge Trevylan to Bunjan's Pitiable,

gone now into tbe ranks of the Parnellites,

of Mr. R. R. Riddick. of Cashie Neck, this
county. He was born February 25, 1857.
He died November 26, 1887, and was con
sequently SO years of age. He was a grad
uate of Wake Forest College, and was an
earnest, consistent Christian. A negro
child was born about three weeks ago in
Cashie Neck on the Jordan plantation, Its
parents are Jarrett and Polly Jordan.- It
has no upper gums, there is a cavity ex
tending from its month to top of head on
right side, the nose is perfectly flat with
f&ce and helps to form the upper lip, it has
a hard gristle or bone substance growing
from its nostrils, it has only one half of
hands with thumb and two fingers on each,
one half feet with big and twin toes. In ten
minutes after its birth its grandmother
states that it stood upon all fours and clear

person. The child is said to be strong and
healthy and doing well.

consecutive after-meetings, and at the laet
one thirty-four professed faith. The en
tire city was arouted and,a large number of
business men were converted. Nearly three
hundred have united with the variona
churches, and many more will follow. Ral
eigh never saw the like in all its history.
Several aged men in tbe eighties were
among the converts, A venerable Episco
palian minister left his charge, fifty miles
away, and spent several aiys in successrui
co-operation. . Mr. W. P. Strad-
ley, of Oxfbrd, ' North Carolina, at
tending Johns Hopkins University, writes:
Rev. E M Poteat seems to be meeting
with marked success as pastor of Lee Street
Church. - Mr. C P. Smith has just
finished writing bis "History of Education
in North Carolina." I have had the plea
sure of seeing tbe advance sheets of this
work, which is a work of permanent value,
and the first along this line ever done in
North Carolina. The! govern ment will pub
lish 25,000 copies of the book, to be dis
tributed among the chief universities and
colleges of this country and Europe.
Revs. Thomas and Frank Dixon passed
through the city several days ago on their
way to Boston the former to take charge
of his new pastorate, and tbe latter to enter
Newton Theological 8emlnary, Frank
looks just as of old when I knew him at
Wake Forest. If he carries into the pulpit
as I have no doubt he will, the same orato
rical powers he displayed in debates on the
floor of the Eu. 8oc his brothers may look
out for their laurels. The Old North State
ought to be proud of ' the illustrious sons
she has in tther- States. Alas! that the
State didn't iteep them.

Green & &... in their cotton circular, tuy i
The market h&s beea a little nervous to day
but on the whole had considerable
strength and made t,uite an advance
along the entire line.- At first matters
looked a little toppy and evidences of a
long cotton spilling were not wanting, with
something of the same kind I noiicable
throughout the session, but the demand
came cut fully and took tbe cost up in spite
of resistance. Buying was largely on New
Orleans account, and burst out suddenly
about the lime of a 10 points advance at the
latter place. With a buoyancy additionally
stimulated by a light iun of receipts and
more or less cheerfql accounts from Liver
pool, some 1012 points advance was made
with a small reaction from the highest, but
closed fctcady. j

vinoed that Mrs. Wlnslow's Soothing Syrup was
Just the article needed, procured a supply for the
child. On reaching home and acquainting his
wife with what he had done, she refused to have It
administered to the child, as she was strongly In
favor of HomoeoDathv. That ntehtthe child passed
in suffering,and the parents without sleep. Return
ing home the day following, the father found the
baby still suffering: and while contemplating an
other sleepless n&ht. the mother stepped from
the room to attend to some domestlo duties
and left tne iatner with, the onlltt. : inurmgner ao

Syrup to the baby, end said nothing. That night

The market statistically has good fea
tures, and there is no reason for holders to
be apprehensive of the future, but just at
present demands are remarkably light, and
an effort to sell important lots would bring
about a decline. Quotations are kept to
the basis of Sic. for fair, yet it is conceded
that if a line of the article was forced on
the market ic. : less price would follow.
The quiet feeling is in good part owing to
the period of the year, as approaching the
holidays, when grocery men-and others are
compelled to pay attention more to fancy
fruits and miscellaneous goods. (Quotations :
Carolina and-Louisiana common at 5 cents;
full standard fair at 51 cents; good at 5

SKIIM DISEASES,
Oar oldest child, now six years of age, when au
Infant six months old was attacked witn a vlru
lect, malignant skin disease. All ordinary reme
dlts falllnir, we called our family physlolan, who
attempted to onre it; but It spread with aimoBt
Incredible rapidity, until the lowerportlon or tho
little fellow's person, from the middle of hla
back down to his knees, was one solid raah, ugly,
palatal, blotched, and malicious. We hal uo
rest at night, no peace by day. Finally, we wer
advised to try tbe Cuticuba Uunm. The ef
feot was simply marvellous. In three or fonr
weeks a complete oare was wrought, leaving tne
little fellow's person as white and healthy as
though he had never been attacked. In my
opinion yonr valuable remedies saved his life,
and to-day he Is a strong, healthy ohlld, perfectly
well, no repetition ot the disease having ever oc
curred. ! i GSO. B. SMITH,
