Dick Hawes was hanged at Birmigham, Ala., last Friday, for the murder of his wife and child. Hon. A. M.Waddell has written a work on the "Colo nial Days of North Carolina." If the book is like his speeches it will be a gem. Senator Call, of Florida, re cently dubbed Senator Chan dler, of New Hampshire, a liar, bur. the latter didn't mind it a bit; he's used to it. The Three C's road recently put in a negro as engineer, and at once quite a number of white engineers resigned. II won't work. The Ohio is on a spree. At Cairo, Ills., it is said to be fifty miles from bank to banK. The junction of this river with the Misissippi is one hundred miles wide. The Stewart Mansion, built in New York City by A. T. Stewart, has been rented by the Manhattan Club for twenty years at an average rental of $40,000 a year. The Wilmington Messenger is to get out a Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley edition, in honor of the completion of the new railroad. Of course it will be a good one. Hanging seems to be quite common in this State here of late. Jesse Brown is to be banged in Craven county in April. This will make at least a half dozen in the State since Jan. 1st. . v As the News & Observer en ters upon its twentieth year, it comes out in a brand new dress. Its appearance is now quite handsome, as well as becoming in style, to our val ued cotemporary. T. W. Poole, of Martin county, died suddenly in Ral eigh Tuesday of heart disease. He was attending a meeting of the State Board of Education, and was a prominent citizen in A good old lady of Fayette ville believes in giving the devil his dues literally. In a conversation as to his charac ter, she remarked: It can at least be said of him that he's mighty industrious. Ex-Congressman Taulbee was shot in the Capitol at Washington last Friday by Chas, Kincaid, a Louisville Times reporter. The difficulty grew out of a published letter of the latter. It is thought Taulbee will die. W. H. Pope teller of the Louisville National Bank left Monday for the embezzler's paradise Canada leaving his employer's short about $60, 000. He was a trusted officer and his absence failed to ex cite suspicion for some time. Judge McRae has decided against Hodge, who reported sometime ago forty railroads in this State for not filing re ports, and claimed the five hundred dollars allowed the informer by the State, for each road reported. The Judge de cided that as the offense was against the State, no individ ual informing is entitled to that $500. There is a noticeable ten dency within the last ten years to write novels and books about the age and times of Christ. There have been more books of this kind writ ten the last few years than has been written perhaps in all time previous to this period. There are now running in the News & Courier, the Detroit Free Press, and other papers, tales of the Christ, written by the best authors. The unveiling of the splen did equestrian statue to Gen. Lee was postponed from the 15tn or May to tne 29th, in order that Gens. Beaurecard and Early might be able to participate. The hrst date conflicted with the drawinsr of of the'Louisiana State Lottery which these gentlemen super Intend. In a conflict of dates between an occasion of doing honor to one of the greatest men of the South, one of the world' s heroes, and the regular business transaction of the big gest gambling concern of the world, the latter carries the day. THE SUB-TREASURY BILL. We gladly surrender a large por tion of our space this week to the 1'ilJ for the Suh-Treastiry introduced into the Senate by Senator Vance. It is one of the '0st important Erasures that have come before the Senate in years, and is one in which every class of citizens is interested. The Farmer's Alliance and Indus trial Union is to be congratulated in having found in Senator Vance a champion of their cause. If one were in doubt as to the wisdom of such a measure, the very fact that it is encouraged and presented to the Senate by Senator Vance, even though it is carefully stated that it is done at the request of the Farm er's Alliance, is enough to reassure one on that point, and satisfy him as to the wisdom of it Though it be recognized as a great measure, and one of the moit far reaching and effective plans that have been proposed for theameliora tion of the depressed condition of agriculture, it is by no means cer tain that it will become a law. Iu fact it seems to us that there is no prospect of its passage by this Con- eress. Like most radical measures and reforms it will most probably require a long time to materialize. The only hope for it is for the farmJJ ers to unite every effort, and use . the tremendous power of the ballot that is theirs when they unite on a prin ciple, to change the complexion of the present Congress. And unless they succeed in securing unity bet ter than any other organization ever has done, it can hardly be hoped that they will attain their purpose in one election. They will have in tLis to contend, as possibly never be fore, with the power of aggregated capital, for this plan is a direct and effective blow to money sharks and moneylenders. If the farmers can borrow money at one per cent, thus getting rid of the present prevailing high rate of interest as high as it was when cotton and grain were fifty or a hundred per cent, higher than now of course there will be less demand for money, and interest will become lower, not ouly for the farm ers, but for eyery class of citizens. This of course goes to show that ev ery class of citizens will be benefitted by the bill except the money lend ers, confessedly the class that least needs help, and for - this reason it seems that this bill ought to meet the hearty support of nearly every class. But we kuow, from experi ence in the last election, the corrupt and constantly increasing influence of money, so that by h men are in duced to vote against their perma nent interest for the sake of tempo rary gain. We have in this simply tried to point out some of the tremendous odds against the bill. To be fore warned is to be fore armed. This should not discourage the advocates of the measure, but make them more determined, and more unanimous in their efforts. The simple truth of the matter is, they have the majority in this country. If they are agreed to a man as to what they want, and can withstand entirely the corrupt influence of monej, they have the power in their hands, and can have what they want. Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. CHARGES AGAINST TALMAGE. A great man frequently becomes a target. Now frhe New York Sun accuses Dr. Talmage of being a fraud, and hints at dark places in his reputation that need more light on. We have always thought Tal mage rather conceited, but this is no grave charge; it is a right com mon failing of humanity, and fre quently those most conceited, have least toleration for conceit in others. Dr. Talmage has a peculiar, original and attractive style, and is of most varied aud extensive learning, which he uses to the best advantage in his sermons. And we always thought he was calculated to do great good, especially as he has the world for his congregation. His sermons have a wider range of readers than any oth er preacher, of modern or ancient times. It is a pity for his usefulness to be injured by charges of fraud and unchristian conduct such as the Sun charges him with, unless the charges are true. Let the light be turned on, though it seems somewhat out of place that Chas. Dana, of the Suu, should be the first to cast at him a stone. Electricity is mow used robbers. A small battery is carried and the current connected with au insolated iron plate iu the robbers hand When he lays his hand on a victim he falls at once. Young Abraham Lincoln, son of our minister to Engiand, died Tues day. He has been lingering at the point of death a long time. He showed such wonderful vitality withstanding for months the disease, that it was hoped he would recover. Much interest was felt in him large ly because of his illustrious name.

There are now in the State sixty Y. M. C. A's. Nine railroads are now being built in North Carolina. A spoke and handle factory has been built at Mocksville. Arrangements are being made for electric lights in Goldsboro. There are said to be 10,000 Knights of Labor in the State. Manganese and black lead veins have been found in Lincoln county. A lot of money was found recently by some boys in a mill pond near Morgan ton. A twelve year old boy recently robbed the mail in Cleveland county, getting $71.50 Three women and two men were chastised by white caps near Rock ingham last week. Twelve hundred jurors were sum moned for the trial of the Berrier lynchers, at Lexington. The Tarboro Southerner tells of three licenses, three expectaut bride grooms aud but one bride. A station of the C. F. & Y. V. II. R. has been named Stedman, in hon or of Gov. Stedman's father. A little negro child near Raleigh died Friday from having laudanum given it instead of paragoric. Large tracts of iron aud marble lands near Mariou have lately been sold to Northern capitalists. Prof. W. A. Blair, of Winston, was elected president of the State Sunday-school Convention at Wil mington. Some one fired into a street car in Wilmington last week and the ball narrowly missed a policeman. As it was night the villain escaped. Five dry kilns, and a large amount of lumber belonging to E. M. Short, Washington, N. C, were burned Tuesday. Mr. Short estimates his loss at $"20,000; insurance $G,000. Rev. Dr. J. M.

A young couple in Sampson county were married on Tuesday, 18th inst. The lady's name wa3 Miss James Henry and that of the groom was Mr. Henry James. Talk about coin cidents! The Morganton Herald last week had a thrilliug bear story. Mr. II. M. Kent of the railroad surveying corps had a long wrestle with a big she bear, but finally, while both were rolling over and over on the ground, succeeded in crushing its head with a hatchet Greensboro Patriot: Last Thurs day the grand jury found a true bill against J. A Hoskins, sheriff of this county, in the matter of the escape of Lige Moore, and he was placed under a bond of $1,000 for his ap pearance at the next term of the court. The Scotland Neck Democrat says: "An exchange prints the fol lowing dun: "Delinquent subscrib ers are hereby warned not to let their daughters wear this paper for a bus tle, as there is considerable due on it, and they might take cold." Near Rockingham the stone dam of the Roberdel mills was torn out from bank to bank, by the stream being swollen from a two days spring freshet. The dam cost $5,000 and will take a month to repair it, pend ing which 200 operatives will be out of employment On Tuesday morning Revenue Agent S. Kirkpatrick, was shot and desperately wounded iu Orange coun ty by Henry Mack, colored, a block ade distiller, who was immediately tired upon and almost instantly kill ed by Kirkpatrick's posse. The Observer is ready to accept, with its characteristic modesty, the heartfelt thanks of the whole North Carolina pre83 for being the first to sound the note of warning of the wicked schemes of designing men to defeat Vance for the United States Senatorship in the next General As sembly. Greensboro Patriot: Three Greens boro kids, aged 14, 12 and 10 years, concluded to run away Saturday ev ening. They struck camp a mile or two from town, but when it began to rain and put-out their fire, they gave up the trip to the West and re turned home wet, weary and were very soon well walloped. Wilmington Messenger: Mr. W. 1. Vanderbilt, of New York, and his party passed through Wilming ton last night in a special vestibule train going North from Florida.
