D., chairman ol the stntc executive committee, then pre sented his report for the year. He thought that an assistant state secre tary should be employed. Fiftv-four of the associations, he said, had responded during the year in the matter of belers, and two new builings had been erected. E L. Harris, state treasurer, then re ported, showing that while much money had been received there was not much of it on hand. The total collections for state work had amounted to'3, 101.88 and but $71.20 now rem;-.tt.cd in the rcasiirv. State Secretary L. A. Coulter made his report. This showed the total member ships for the slate to lie 5,7-tO. Mr. onlter also said that there had been 1!H professed conversions duiini: the ear. An apiienl fur money to pay lor the slate work liiis year was then made. The church was filled to ovcrflowimr and about $:i,.r.llO was raised.

Fitch Tavlor, of Asheville, then ex tended n cordial invitation to meet there, referring to the warm hearted hospitality with which he, a strungcr, had met there ind which the convention would also re- five. Mr. Andersen, as a reason that Asheville should have the convention. said that for three years the convention had been held east ol central .North Caro lina and that a meeting ill Asheville would stimulate the association work which wns not well develoiKil in the section of the state surrounding the place. P. B. Manning, of Wilmington, seconded the nomination of Asheville. Kev. W. I' File seconded the nomina tion of Greensboro. A vote was then taken and resulted as lollows: Ashe ville, 70; Greensboro, SI) ; Henderson, !. On motion ul Mr. lavlor, ol Asheville, the selection ot Greensboro was made unanimous.

Pierfolgo Saturday nnd seating himself called upon "any member of the Mafia in the shop to give him a shave." He announced that he had a hand in settling the New Or leans troubles, being a member of the mob that stormed the jail. For a moment the Italians looked at their customer and then fell on him en masse. When the avenger landed in the street, he looked as if he had been in col lision with a locomotive. The terriffic thumping he received with pokers, chairs and billets ot firewood may result fatally. Last night three barbers, Alexander Nccozso, Michael Rerelo nnd Jacob Searc were arrested, charged with the assault on "Avenger" Button. It is lielieved he was not in New Orleans at all; simply trying to be funny. THAWING COLD DYNAMITE, THK EXPERIMENT KICSl'I.T- EO PATAI.I.V, One Mail Killed and Two Othera And alloy Injured Terrible Con dltion of the aHirvivorw. The following account of an explosion f a quantity of dynamite at Greens boro was sent the Raleigh Capital In in engineer on the works at Greensboro: We had a prcmaturcexplosion of dyna mite on the works this morning one man, Milton McAdoo, colored, was in stantly killed and two others, Dave Ramsey and Nathan Standi, both white, were wounded, us was also JoeJBevil. It occurred at the blacksmith shop. The boy was blown about fifty or seven-tv-five vards, and was least hurt of aiiy ue; Mr. McAdoo the blacksmith, a coi ned man, was instantly killed, being horribly mutilated, one arm and hand icing blown nearly oil. The next man o him was Dave Ramsey, from Char lotte. He was hornblv burned, bruised nd cut, and about half of his hair singed off. His clothes were parllv blown oil', i ud lie presented a most ghastly spectacle The next man, Slaiueil, we thought at ist was blown completely away, but we lotiiid him ill a porch about a min imi yards off; he seemed to be dazed. le leeeircd a terrible shock and is com- iletelv unnerved, besides being deal in lie ear.

It will probably ncyerbe known how they came to explode, but it seems that the bands were getting ready for a last and had laid several dynamite cart ridges on the forge at the shop to thaw ihcni as they were frozen.

Johnaton WM 84 Veara -'.old A Teleicrain Erom Cen. Mhennan'a Family. Washington, March 21. Gen. Joseph B. lohnston died shortly after 11 o'clock last night at his residence on Connecticut avenue. The gencrul has been suffering for the past three weeks with an affection of the heart, aggravated by a cold caught soon after General Sherman's funerul in New York. His advanced age gave little hope for his recovery from the beginning of his illness. The general did not seem to suffer in the least and was conscious to the last. At his bedside were ex-Governor McLean, of Maryland, the general's brother-in- lnw and the nurse. Theimniediatecauseof death was heart failure, the resultof fatty degeneration of the heart coupled with severe cold, but more particularly due to extreme old age. At times for about two years General Johnston has shown unmistakable signs of a general breaking down. His mind often became bewildered so that he could not tell where he wus or how he eamc there. Some days after Sherman's funeral the general one night got up out of bed while in a state of profuse pers piration which greatly aggravated the slight cold with which he was then suf fering. 1 Ins brought on a severe attack of his old heart trouble which completely prostrated mm. 1 lis physician, Dr. Lincoln, succeeded, however, with much (lilliiciilty in arresting the disease for a time, and for a day or two prior to n week yesterday be seemed to lie improv ing. .On that day he went down stairs without assistance as he had done before, but it proved too much for his strength, und only with the aid of Governor Mclean he again reached his bed or even rise from the sofa where he was sitting. From that time he con tinued to grow worse till about six o'clock last evening, when Dr. Lincoln found him ierl'ectly comfortable und ni pnrcntlv a little better. While his friends and attendants knew that he might pass away nt any time, yel they had 110 w arning t hat the end was so neur. Gov ernor McLean entered the room at a little ufter 11 o'clock, and as he ap proached the General's bedside he heard an almost inaudible sigh and the General was dead. THK I TNIiKAI.. The funeral services over the remains of General Johnston will be held at St. John's Upiscopal church in this city, Tuesday at It o'clock a. m., Rev. Dr. Douglass conducting the ceremonies, after which the body will lie removed to Baltimore for interment nt Greenniount cemetery the same day. Only a simple burial service tor the dcud will lie read at the grave. All the ceremonies will be simple and devoid of any display, this being the expressed wish of thedead man and his relutives. The honorary pnlllicarers will lie Sena tor John T. Morgan, of Alabama; Sena tor John W. Daniel, of Virginia; Rev. J. L. M. Curry, Gen. John G. Purker, United States arm'v; Gen. Charles W.

There were a grcnt many callers at the residence of the late general, including Gens. Schohcld and Rosccrnns and Ad miral Rodgers. A large nuinlier of tele grams of condolence were received. P.
