Raleigh, March 7. Last night
after midnight your correspondent
met Col. Harry Skinner, justas the
tbe latter, in company with Mr.
Marion Batlor and Majfor W A
Guthrie, came out of the Populits
caucus. Col. Skinner gave me the
notes of his speech there whic'i he
said had preveted the chinge of the
charter ot Wilmington,
Yet this bill came up in.the House
today and the Populists in many
cases voted for it. Why the change ?
Mr. French laughed and raid it was
cot 'he first time that Skinner had
been run over, Capt, Kitchin said
today that in the caucus when a vote
was taken on tbe matter there wa
no real count; that jast as tbe vote
was taken there was a motion to ad
jonrn and the crowd swept out. Now
this is a queer proceeding.
Your correppondent this afternoon
interviewed Harry Skinner, who
gave out the news last night that
there was a defeat in the caucus of
the Wilmington charter. Col. Skin
ner said :
"L'he only thing in which I was
deceived by tbe caucus was this
charter matter. I know that a ma
jority ot the Populists in tat cau
cus were opposed to a change of the
charter, and I am surprised and can
not understand the influences which
caused the passage of the bill, un
less it may be that French and Rus
sell hive convinced the Populists
that the real financial control of tbe
city remains in Democratic hands-
French called on me 'oday and said
he was satisfied my opposition to the
charter bill was entirely upon the
wrong oasia; that I did noc under
stand the bill, which was conserva
tive and met the approval of at
least one wing of the Democratic
party in Wilmington ; that if I
would get the bill and muke it a
thought my opposition would end ;
that he igreed with me generally,
that it would be unwise politically
to turn any cities over to incompe
tent management, but that his bill
has been carefully prepared with an
eye single to the material interests
of Wilmington, and that no . harm
would result from its passage. Sena
tors Forbe3 and Representative ur-
rie and Johnson told Mr. McCaskie,
chairman, of tbe Populist caucus,
that they believed the plan to amend
Wiluiingtou's charter had been de
feated. They did not impute any
improper motives to Mr. Al jCaS'ie.
got througa by a declaration from
ihu chairman that it fcad parsed 20
to 19, when outsiders who were
present were sure the ote was just
the reyerse of this, and so to'.d Mr.
McCaskie alter the caucus ad
journed.
Col. bkinn -r spoke very frankly
about this matter.
Your correspondent is assured ly
some Republicans that though Otho

While it was decided at the cau
cuses last night to aljourn neit
Tuesday, yet some members say to
day that adjournment may not be
had until Wednesday.
To night's caucus was fer the
ratification of the division of the of
fices. The Republicans carry the
day in the matter of the cods com
missioners and hold on to two of
them. It is s id that tbe last Codt
cost $25,000, and the question is
raised as to what necessity there is
now for this large expenditure.

A Remarkable Ntory.
Mr. J N Maxwell was in the
Herald office this afternoon with the
most remarkalbe story we eyer heard.
He said, upon the authority of Mi
II V Ritchie, who saw the wonder
that a cow belonging to Mr. White
Menius gave birth last week to
twenty -8ix cal vest. One calf was of
normal sizi and living, the others
were almost the sizi of large rats
and dead. The cow also died. This
cow gaye birth to three calves about
two years ago. This yarn is hard
to believe. Silisbury Herald.
This is not an unreasonable yarn.
Greater . wonders than a cow
giying birth to twjnty-Bix calves
have occurred in and around that
section.
Truly Wonderful It Was.

before the hour of the performance.
He told them to wait patiently un
til the hour, or go out and their
money would be refunded. He has
the stage completely covored with
his own decoration? and para
phanalia all giving a ery pleasing
appearance. His stereoptican views
are real like. His 8light-of-hand
performances are simply wonderful,
surpassing anything eyer seen in
Concord. The Lilliputian perform
ance was extremely entertaining. It
is the cleyerest, boat 25 ceui
show eyer in Concord. Everything
bright and chaste.
The audience Thursday night
was limited, owing to the heavy
rain, but it goes without saying
all were highly entertained.
A Xew Was- to Cook Rloe
Nearly everybody in South Caro
lina knows how to cook rice, but as
this is an age of reform perhaps a
new way will be acceptable. The
Christian Quiver says: "We. have
haJ - many directions for cooking
rice in 'the proper way. The latest
comes from Syria,where they wash it
in four, five or six waters, or until
the last water is clear. A table-
spoonful of butter is then heated in
a vessel until it bubbles, and the
rice in added and mixed. Then
salted water i3 added 'generously,'
and the rice is cooked withou
stirring until it is tender and 'the
water is all absorbed." Charleston

Messrs CannonE& Fetzer, our en

from a man in Mississippi, wh we
suppose is a native North Caiolinian.
The letter reads aa follows :
Meridian-, Miss., March 1, '95.
Messrs Cannons & Fetzer, Concord,
N. C:
Sirs : I want a few barrels of old
North Carolina flour, made at some
old country mills, out of some old
North Carolina wheat, tor my own
nse. I am in the mercantile busi
ness anJ have plen:y of Western
Hour on hand. I can't eat bieid
made of Western flour. Let me
hear from you by return mail. Will
pay spot cash. I want it ship -ed in
barrels, because it is too far to ship
in sacks. Respectfully,
S. E. Cash.
Mr. Cash is not known by the
firm or by any one in Concord, but
judging form the tone of his letter
he is evidently a North Carolinian
and is longing for the old time
buiscuit like "mother use to make"
when he was a boy.
The wheat crop being such a
complete failure in North Carolina
last year, it will be a yery hard mat
ter for Mr. Cash to be supplied with
flcur made of wheat from this grand
old State.
