Md., Mrs. Frederic Rose left her four child ren in charge of her son William, aged 11 years, for a few minutes. About 9 o'clock the kerosene lamp in the room grew dim and William assayed to refill it with out extinguishing the flame. An explosion followed that scattered the burning fined about the room and set lire to the clothing of the children. Neighbors rushed to their assistance, but three of them are thought to be fatally burned. William was also bad ly burned, but not so seriously as the other children. They were removed to Johns Hopkins' Hospital, where little hope is entertained for the . recovery of the three girls. Februsiry ls:M H;is Fivj Saturday's.

Miss Ella Wilcox is the high ly efficient janitor and sexton of the Church of the United Breth ren, in Marcellus, Mich. .She has full care of the church, keeps it in order, rings the bell on Sundays and attends to all the other duties of a sexton "in every way better than any male janitor ever lias," the church-goers say. She is good looking, as well as accomplished; doubtless another point of superiority over the male janitors. New York Sun. Florida Fruit Crop. Dispatches from various sec- tious of Florida indicate that lit tle damage lias been done to truck and fruit by the cold spell which prevailed there recently. Very young vegetables iu ex posed places were nipped, but K'rmrl -tlii' trnrVpr?; and fruit 3 . . . growers reoort no lmurv. A e a , . iner the cold weather, wmch served to prevent frost. But for the wind, there would have been heavy frosts which would have done great damage. Decreased in Property Values. The State Auditor's Report, to be issued in a few days, will show that the total decrease in the as sessed value of all property in North Carolina is $5, 049 ,000 This will cut into the State taxes nearly $7,000. The decrease is due to many causes, mostly to tlie exception allv "hard times" that have for several years prevailed. AYrcror Observer. A Desperado Killed. Si. F.

E. LeMosy writing- to tlie Norfolk Virginian, February I e ta, says : "Your editorial in Sunday's Virginian in relation to cotton maiiuiacturi ng in tue South is worthy of especial notice Ton years ago Charlotte, N. C, had a population of 8,000 souls, and half of them pcor and unable to secure steady employment. To day it is a hive of industry, a busy manufacturing centre with over 20,000 inhabitants, and still growing. She lias not accom plished this by blowing horns and making a noise, but by uti lizing all of her local capital not employed in other channels. With, one accord her people joint ed in, and from the merchant down to tlie clerk began to in vest a. small amount each mouth in a co-operative industrial com pany having for its object the building up of profitable in dustries. "Within three or four years a score ol large cotton factories, each one paying a dividend on J the investment have been built by this Co-operative Industrial company in Charlotte, and three times as many more have been built by individuals, a majority or the latter being new comers attracted to the place by reason of its great industrial activity. "Over eight profitable indus. tries have been put in operation in that town within the past four years, and several thousand people have been given employ ment. New trade has been creat ed; merchants have come in, clerks receive better salaries, and every individual within that city has profited directly by the change." While Charlotte has been largely built up by foreign cap ital, yet the initial step was taker, by the home people who had faith in their town, and who backed their judgment with cash for the establishment of diversU fled industries. If we think our town should be a manufacturing centre, we must take stock in the industries planned bv home companies r . .r cessful operation, tiie capitalists ... 1 . .' , t will soon be attracted bv our industrial activity and locate in Edentou the large industries which add so much to the com mercial interests of the town.

A special to the Atlanta Con stitution from Carrolltou, 1 Ga., says that a freight train ran into an open switch at Mandeville, on the Chattanooga, Rome S-j Colum bus road Friday night. Sixteen cars were wrecked. A large oil tank full of oil burst and caught on hre, burning up a large num ber of cars and tlie depot. Sol. West, colored, was killed, and Engineer Bruce was injured, but not seriously. " "Sol. West was caught under the tender, and his left leg had to be severed off t the knee with an axe to keep him from burning up. Thousands of Prospectors Thousands o f prospectors, some with ovovisions for a long siege and others with nothing to withstand the terrors of the re mainder of the winter, are en-, camped on the borders of tlie Colvillcluuiau reservation. They are awaiting the proclamation of the President opening the mins eral lauds to settlement. The rush is unprecedented.

Annual Fasti Circular. We again offer our services to our friends, the North Carolina fishermen, for the sale of their salt fish. 0 Vox the past twenty-two years we have been the largest re ceivers, and consequently the largest distributors of fish in any Southern market, and naturally buyers seek us as a source of supply. The stock of 1895 Carolina herrings on the Richmond mar- ket is unusually large. The very low price of provisions, together with the general dullness which has characterized every depart, meut of trade, during the past twelve' months, has been mani fest in the lessened demand for fish. Farly shipments were sold with comparative ease and with satisfaction to the fishermen; but later arrivals, for the most part, found our market abundantly stocked with both North Caro lina and Potomac fish, with but little, if any demand. Shipments from the fisheries direct to small interior consuming markets have had life effect to largely neutral ize our best efforts. If Richmond, the very best la;ge market, is to be preserved, then these ship ments to the interior shouldcease. Great care should be taken about cooperage. Let your bar- rels be of good size and well made, and the hoops thoroughly driven and nailed. Eastern packages, or, better still, pack ages made likcsthe Eastern, out of North'Carolina native timber, are now preferred to the old Car olina barrels. It is almost nu possible to sell fish packed in the old style North Carolina cooper age. For several years past, herrings caught and packed on tne Poto- luc and Susquehanna rivers wave been branded North Caro iua. The fish have been sold at very low prices, the public has thus been deceived and imposed - rc l 1 . 1, upon, livery enoit n. uccu made to caution the trade against this deception and yet the evii continues and is increasing. i : The only remedy left for the protection of the North Carolina fkbprmeMi against tne piractical trade is to have their barrels and ntbpr -nackacrcs made from v - x 0 the native wood of North Caro lina, and we cannot too strongly impress this upon their consider ation and adoption. As usual, we will remit the proceeds of all sales in cash About the 26U1 ot .Marcli, our Spring circular, for distribution among the buyers ol herrings will-be ready for circulation, and if you desire to have your name inserted in this circular, please advise us by the 22d of March. All correspondence addressed to us will have prompt attention Yours Very truly, Davenport & Morris There are two kinds of love love which receives and love which gives. The former re ioices in the sentiment which it inspires and the sacrlnce Vv'hicii it obtains, the second delights in the sentiment which it experien ces and the sacrifice which it makes. Ex.

The largest filibustering cx pedition that has yet been fitted out in the interest of the Cuban revolutionists came t o grief shortly before midnight Tuesday night by the seizure in New York harbor of the stead, rr Bcr- nuda, flying the British flag. The steam lighter J. S. ,T. Stranahau, loaded with arms and ammunition, was also seized, as vere the tugs McCaldin Broth ers and William J. McCaldin, which had carried about sixty ilibusters aboard the Bermuda. United States marshals and l'iu- kerton detectives, the latter in the employ of the Spanish gov ernment, aided iu the seizure and took the filibusters ashore. Mar shals have been placed aboard he Bermuda, which is lying off Bedloe's Island, and her engines lave been disconnected, thus 1 rendering her hors du-com bat for) he time being. The steamer lighter is a very suspicious looking craft. Her deck is laden down with nuiner our boxes of various sizes, which contain arms and ammunition. There are about 150 long, nar row boxes, such as are usually used to convey rifles. One of he square boxes is marked iu bold letters "medicine." A dep uty marshal is in charge of the ighter and refuses to permit anybody to go aboard. The crew are all held as prisoners. Down iu the hold of the lighter are said to be three Hotchkiss guns, two light Napoleau guns and some riot guns. The cubau sympathizers are indeed having a hard time get ting arms to Cuba. Nearly every endeavor made by so far has been a failure. 1 1 Bill" Nye Dead. Bill Nye, the humorest, whose writings have delighted so many, lied at his home iu Buck Shoals, this State, on Saturday last. Edgar Willis Nye, or "Bill" Nye as he is much better known to his friends and the public, was born in Shirley, Piscataqua Co., Me., August 25th, 1850, but at the age of two years, according to his own story, he took hisj parents by ths hand and led them to the West. They went to Wisconsin, and there, on the banks of the St. Croix river, young Nye was brought up on a farm. In 1876 he went to Wyoming Territory, where he studied law-and was admitted to the bar. Later, he went to Laramie and started a paper called the Boomerang. At the time Nye edited the Boome rang it was published over a livery stable. A sign on the door instructed callers to "twist the tail ot the gray mule and take the elevator." Several years ago Mr. Nye purchased a farm at Buck Shoals, in Buncombe county, about eight miles from Asheville, and adjoin ing the farm of Geo Vander- bilt, and has since resided there with his family. An Indiana man has just died, aged seventy tour, who was never known to laugh, and the Wash ington Star thinks that living in a State like Indiana is c&lculatsd to make a man serious. "IP II I II !
