Bill Will DrinAWif Bailncn,
The bill introduced in tbe House at
Kaleigh by Mr. Watson bas just been
Somethlilfl NeW Ataill here, and has awakened considerable in-
' I a ... ti a -:.... rv...
kCI l. A lit. II I G b OVV viwu " uw "
vides :
"That no person, co-partnership or
corporation shall run or operate a ware
house in this State Tor tbe sale of leaf
tobacco either In loose parcels or in pack
ages, after tbe first day of May, 1S93,
without having first obtained from the
,V." I sheriff of the county wherein such ware
" I house is situated, license to operate the
same. That upon application such
sheriff shall upon tbe payment of a li
cense tax of $1 and a fee of V5 cents issue
to the applicant a license to run and op
erate a tobacco warehouse, for one year,
from the first day of May, until the 31st
day ot March or the succeeding year,
Such license shall be issued annually as
above prescribed."
The bill also provides that no combi
nation, corporation or association of
any kind shall be formed within this
State -which will "preveuta fair, free and
full competition in the purchase of leaf
tobacco, or which shall tend to tbe sup
oression of bidding lor leaf tobacco sold
in open market." It lurther provides
that no "association, corporation or co
partnership" shall, in person or by
agents, bid for, or purchase, directly or
indirectly, tobacco at any warehouse
licensed under the provisions of this act,
"or in anv public warehouse opened or
operated in this State for the sale of leaf
tobacco at auction."
The Citizen this morning asked V. C.
Sorinkle. of the Eaele warehouse firm of
Sprinkle & Lawson, fori his opinion of
the bill. He replied that be could not
fullv understand the purport ot the act.
"If." he said, "this law as I understand
it should be made a law the United
States over, it might work. But it
seems to me that tbe result which would
follow its passage would be the driving
out of tbe State of the largest tobacco
buyers and thus iniure the home mar
ket. The license tee could be paid by
the warehousemen without feeling it
but the other provisions of the bill
would, as I have said, drive the largest
bnyers off the market, and the outcome
would be that tobacco now sold on this
market would eo to Lynchburg, Dan
ville or some other large market outside
tbe State. It makes no material differ
ence to these buyers where they purchase
their tobacco.
"I am not fully informed on the entire
bill, but it seems to me that its enact
ment would be a mistake that would
cost the home markets dear."
Tobacco men from several of the
largest markets in the State held a meet
ing in Kaleign on rebruary an
passed resolutions protesting against
the Watson bill.

LAST HOUSE.
THE PEOPLE'S OWN MAN
CoUEress Expiring Amid Much
Noise and Home Worb,
Washington, March a. After three
ineffectual attempts to get an executive
session yesterday the Republicans were
successful, the understanding being that
nothing of a disputed character could be
considered. An effort to reconsider the
vote by which the nomination of John
L. Pindley of Maryland, to be Chilian
arbitror, was rejected, was made, but
failed. The tacit agreement regarding
disputed nominations did not prevent
preliminary steps being taken on tnc
Benton Hanchett nomination. As soon
as executive session began the nomina
tion was referred to the judiciary com
mittee and before it ended the committee
held a meeting on the floor and reported
it favorably by a strict party vote.
Washington. March 2. Beyond an
unusually large audience in the galleries
and a great noise, there wus nothing in
the House today indicating that the
Fifty second Congress was in its expir
ing hours. The House was waiting for
the Senate to act upon tne appropria
tion bills.
Later, the House took up the Presi
dent's veto of the Alabama court bill,
and passed the bill over the veto. The
House then began considering the House
conference report on the sundry civil bill.
The benate promptly resumed consid
eration of the postoffice appropriation
Dili, ana passca n, alter wnicu iqc inuian
appropriation bill was taken up.
it is probable that tne oeticiency uni
will be taken up next and in that event
Hill has given notice that be will ask tbe
Senate to remain in session tonight to
act on the bridge bill.

Chicago, March 2. Two mad dogs
were tbe cause of much excitement in the
northwestern portion of the city yester
day afternoon and evening, and before

brutes they had bitten five persons, in
each case inflicting severe injuries. The
victims were Michael Ltonalh, ngbt leg
lacerated; Willie Kennedy, six years old,
portion of left cheek torn away; Alilton
Davidson, bitten on left thigh; Mrs.
Gunda Anderson, upper right arm fright
fully lacerated; brnest Jesperson, three
fingers on right hand almost torn off.
Mrs. Anderson and Jesperson were also
both bitten last evening by a large New
Poundland dog owned by the former.
Mrs. Anderson was attacked while at
work in her kitchen and Jesperson was

A Great Crowd at Lake wood to
See tne Partv Off Mrs Cleve
land Led I lie Way to the Car
Mo Speech.
Lakewoop, N. J., March 2. All
Lakewood turned out today to see
President-elect Grover Cleveland and
party off for Washington. The day was
bright with sunshine and the big crowd
that came down to the station to wave
farewell to the family which has bc;n
among them two seasons were gay with
bright raiment. Fully 2,000 people were
at the station. Half the number were
ladies and they were more interested in
seeing Mrs. Cleveland and Baby Ruth
than the President elect.
It was just 11:45 a.m. when the special
train arrived from New York. Mr. and
Mrs. Cleveland, Baby Kuth and nurse
started from the "little white house" at
12 o'clock. They rode to the depot in a
'bus. Mrs. Cleveland wore a dark blue
wool dress with a light fitting astrakan
jacket and black felt hat. It was with
difficulty that the partv alighted, so
close did the crowd press.
On the station platform Mrs. Cleveland
led the way to the train and the others
followed with Mr. Cleveland last. He
was cheered from the moment he alighted
from the carriage until he was on the
train. Everyone in the front ranks of
the crowd shook hands with him as he
slowly made bis way across the plat
form. When he mounted the steps of the
car there were more cheers and shouts
for a speech. Mr. Cleveland stood for a
moment with his hat in bis band bowing
to the crowd and then entered tbe
"Oriental," to which the others had
preceded him.
The train moved out of the station on
its way to Washington, at 12:15 p. m
A parting cheer went up from the crowd
A score of camera fiends tressed the but
ton, the engineer did tbe rest and tbe
Washington tr;p was begun.
Lexington, Ky.. March 1. Dolly John
son, tbe colored Lexington cook who
presided over the kitchen of tbe White
House during the first seven months ol

HEINITSH & REAGAN,
11. C. Burrell, a young white man who
lives in the north end ot tbe county, who
was under arrest for an infraction of the
stock law, made a break forlibertr while
sitting in the Sheriff's office today. He
rushed by Deputy Morgan and out into
the corridor. In his bee line run for home
he brushed against and nearly upset
Deputy P. M.Jones, who was iuside the
diamond. Burrell heeled it along to
wards first base, followed by tbe depu
ties and the crowd that always lends a
band. He miscalculated, however, in
supposing that he would find the first
baseman asleep. He was observed in
his sprinting exhibition by Janitor Wil
liam Reynolds, colored, who braced him
self, opened bis arms and Burrell did
tne rest. Burrell bad been put ont at

of his bastv departure he w as safe in the

Lost Its Head Thirteen
A sco and la Still Alive.
Hendersonville, N. C, Peb. 2o. A
cat that has lived thirteen davs without
a head is owned by Samuel Thorne, of
this place, an amateur physiologist, who,
annoyed by the animal's nncturnai vis
its, sought to kill it by cutting off its
head, but finding that it still breathed
five hours after the decapitation, scared
the arteries and bound them up; theu,
opening v.-.e stomach, lie inserted a silver
tube, through which he administers
liquid food to it. The cat seems to suffer
no pain, but arches itself and purrs
against a caressing hand. There seems
no reason to believe that it will not live
out its nine lives to a good old age.

made very palatable, and he once as
sured a Congressional committee tbat
be knew enough about chemistry to pro
duce a fine grade of syrup from old trou
