The coldest wave of the season is passing over the Northwest. Forty-two de grees below zero . has been reached iti Dakota. We Aiar sorry wc are unable to pub sh in full to-day Mr. Carr's speech ;male before the wounded soldiers' ouventloa last night.' We give as Bull a synopsis of it as possible in an I'ther column. Thk New Berne Journal says: fhe most beautiful women in the .world will be at the New Berne ?air, and Henry. Bount, of the Wil- onJIirror, will be here to do justice ) their charms. Thk deadlock in the West Vir gin a Senate has been broken at last 3' S.X'arr' WHS olWo Prncirlonf rf Hat body Monday night, st curing lie votes of ten Democrats and six publicans. .Xatukal gas was used to inllatc "a wlloon at 'Memphis, Tenn , a few 's ago, and it was so effective that pe amateur aeronaut was borne out ft" sight to the southeast and had not HH,n iiard of at last accounts. 1 u:iu: is-a granite house in Rowan e . Jiinty, Wa., built in 1706, and is till owned and occupied by the de fendants of the man who built it.- The fireplace-is 8 feet wide, 5 feet Jigh and ,r feet deep ; the house is n goo.l state of preservation. 1 1 outrageous in some of the papers of the State to say, that Col. jUired-M. Waddell will bolt the peinoeratic party because he did not p the nomination for the Senate, yol. W addell is as .true a Democrat r miu r of our Senators and loves !s .tate too well to ever desert her. I MK- T,vin City Daily says: uIt k't nis very probable now that the i t'aCvIul relationshiD heretofore ex- Jng between the United States and ermany will be endangered over p slution of the Samoa difficulty. 19 much so that it may make war a probably result. A war is something f W deplored under any and all ?fcurristances, but we are rather in amed ttj the belief just now, that a pilict with some foreign-power uld -bring many eood results, or f other words settle or delay some ."tsnons that are menacing the pee and happiness of our people." Mr. Brower, the member of Con gress from the Greensboro district, introduced a billin the House Mon day for the repeal of the tax on to bacco and wanted it referred to the committee on war claims, but his motion was denied. Why he wants the war claims committee to pass on the tobacco tax no one knows. Thk Wilmington Star says: "Presi dent Cleveland has nominated a suc cessor to the late Judge Settle, but the Republicans in the Senate do not seem disposed to till vacancies. The Democrats are trying to have new Judicial 'Districts 'created in several Southern State3 so as to limit the powers of the judges now in office." The News and Observer says :. ' The committee on Trinity College from the Raleigh Chamber of Commerce and Industry met yesterday morn ing in the Mayors office and ap pointed a "sub committee consisting of Hon. Alf. A. Thompson and Messrs. K. B. Rarbee, K. G. Harrell and Dr. K. P. Uines, to confer with the legislative committee in the mat ter. A large amount has already been guaranteed by j the citizens of Raleigh." The Wilmington; Star seems to anticipate differing with Governor Fowle in his ideas of right, duty and -propriety. It says: "Governor Fowle's Inaugural Address has the merit of shortness. It is not si spe cially striking production, bulr is free from spread-eagle rhetoric. It takes a gratifying practical turn. The Star will give his Administra tion of State affairs a fair, candid and if possible intelligent; trial, and jwill support the new Governor heartily whenever it can do so consistently with its own honest convictions of .right, duty and propriety.-; We re-In- produce some extracts from the augural elsewhere.

Ain't such a prediction calculated to strike with dread and horror those who; are obliged to plow through muddy sidewalks during wet spells ? How long, oh, how long are we to be thus burdened ? j Don't fail to attend the sale of stores, town lots, stocks and personal property, by Messrs. Fuller A Whit ted,:. trustees -for Mr. E. J.

Whitt Taylor, for violatingthe local option law, which was tried in the Superior Court yesterday,: Re sulted in a new trial, the jury fail ing to agree.' The defendant was bound over to the next term of the court. We would call attention to a new pattern of tooth brush recently introduced on the market, known as the Arrington Brush, designed by Dr. Arrington of ourj city, whose reputation as a dentist is a guarantee of the superior merits of the brush. All the druggist in Durham keep them. I ry them. DURHAM, N. C, WEDNESDAY; JANUARY 23, Do You Sinir? ' i All the members ot the Ml C.

Hume, of the University of North Carolina. The public is cordially invited to attend. To-3Iorrov. , P' Do you want toek in the First National Bank of Durham?

If so, don't miss the sale to-morrow, at 12 o'clock, by Messrs. Fuller A- Whitted. trustees. ' Rejoices in Their Grit. The Danville Times says: "The benl people of Durham have become disgusted w;ith the violation of the local option law, and are holding meetings in order to have the laws enforced. The Times rejoices in their grit and manly sentiments. If ever there was a law that has been trampled under foot, almost with impunity, this is one. When a Chrisliaft Judge fines a violator; of this law only ten dollars what are the people to hope lor, from a. Judge who drinks himself. ; This thing has gone far enough. We want to see justice done on all sides ; enforce the laws in this and every other re spect, and the criminals are the only ones who can complain.'' ; Shoe Factory.; It is said that the extensive shoe manufactory of W. 11. Wetmore it Co. will probably be moved from Raleigh, and it is intimated that if sufficient inducements; are offered, Durham may be selected as the per manent location. We understand that the company employs twro hun dred operatives, with probability of increase, and that the business is in a prosperous condition. It would prove a valuable addition to our manufacturing interests and it is cer tainly worth an effort to get it here. But as what is everybody's busi ness is nobody's business, we fear this favorable opportunity to secure such an industry will be permitted to slip if there is not concert of ac tion. Wc would suggest that the Commonwealth Club take the matter in charge and see what can be done. Steps should be taken at once, too, for avc are. informed that at least one other place is moving to secure .this important industry. "Peace, Quiet and General So briety." j As evidence of the kind of i'peacei quiet and general sobriety" that the sale Qfliquor produces, we copy the following from the Raleigh 'Spirit of the Age, which Ave commend to tlie serious consideration of the Ashevilie Citizen : ! "We had prohibition in this citv two; years-ago,' but because the law was violated, and now and then a drunken man was seen on the streets, some of our people (good! people they are) came to the conclusion that it was doing no good; and when the election took place last; June, they would not go to the polls to vote. i" "Immediately! the bar-rooms were opened, and the city was flooded with liquor. What is the conse quents? No pen can answer that quesffbn, save the pen of the record ing angel, for God only j knows the fearful result of the re-opening of the bar-rooms. Is there more drunk enness now than during Prohibi tion ? At least five times as much ; and commensurate with the in crease of drinking and drunkenness is the increase of wickedness and crime. "The daily arrests by lour police men will give any man who wants the information an idea of what the dram shops are" doing. But if one is not satisfied with that exhibit, let him go out and see for himself, and if he has a heart of llesh, he will be saddened indeed when he begins to realize the true condition of things, especially among our young men," Plant Photographs. j Maj.

Jas. E. Oay, which is noticed more particu larly in another paragraph of to-day's lotographs. Mr. J.j R. Gattis returned tT-dav from Hillsboro, where he went to at tend the marriage of Rev. Jas. E. Ga, of Lexington, to Miss Maggie Brown, daughter of Mr. II. N. Brown. The event occurred yesterday after noon, at 4 o'clock, at the Methodist Church, in Hillsboro. Mr. Gattis informs us that the bridal present? were numerous and some of them very handsome. A New Enterprise. Mr. E. C. Hackney ias given bond and paid all the required taxes for the prosecution of the auction, bro ker and commission business. The auctioneering will be done by Mr. CJ A. W. Barham, the veteran auc tioneer, who has had thirty years experience, is widely known, has a host of friends and, in short, is one of the best auctioneers in the coun-' try. He is a good' 'un sure. Tite Plant extends best wishes to all concerned in this enterprise. Mr, J. Si Carr and the Veterans' Convention. From theAe..s- and Observer, of this morning, we copy the following, re lating to the part taken in the Con federate Veterans' Convention, at Raleigh, last night, by our distin guished and highly esteemed towns man, Mr. ! Julian S. Carr, to whose heart the cause, of the disable-d wearers of the gray is so near and so dear:- ! . ) At 7:-0 o'clock, in accordance with arphgements, Col. L.- L. Polk pre sented Julian S. Carr, Esq., the spe cially invited presiding officer of the convention. Cob Polk said : Ex-Con federah' Shlirrfi. Ladies and Gentlemen ;j At the request and on behalf of the disabled soldiers, it has been made my pleasing duty of presenting as the presiding officer of this conven tion one who has endeared himself, not only to the disabled soldiers here assembled, but to every heart which throbs with a feeling ot love for North Carolina and sympathy for her sur viving soldiers. I present the Hon. Julian S. Carr, of Durham. Mr. President Carr, upon taking the chair, said : FeUoiL'-Stldiers tf a Cause v:e, all loced hut wliivh i'alij j. Ladies and Gen tlemen : P My position burdens me with em barrassment. Especially so, since the honorable gentleman, our feliow soldier, who presented me and who, I am proud to tell you, was as gal lant and brave upon the field of bat tlers he is complimentary and cour teous upon the platform, has found it in his heart to say such kind things about me, and, because, since your complimentary invitation to preside over this honorable convention came 1889. to me, I have-scarcely had an hour that 1 could call my "own. Added to this the further fact of my inexperience in presiding, over public meetings, I trust ' your pa tience and charity may be vouch safed to me this evening, at least to the extent of my frailties. Mr. Carr then proceeded to deliver his address, which will be - publish ed in full in the News and Observer. We regret that the lateness of the hour at which we received a' copy of it prevents its appearance this morning. It was elegant, chaste, ornate and beautiful. , It sparkled with the rarest gems of rhetorical, beautiful and poetic thought and was a most magnificent tribute to and appeal for the brave soldiers of the lost cause. ' On the conclusipn of Mr. Carr's address there was a storm of ap plause. His eloquent words reached the heart of every one present, and touched a responsive chord. Referring to speeches made in fa vor of the resolution to petition the Legislature to add live per cent, to the annual tax levy for the purpose of adding to and extending the pen sion list of disabled soldiers and the widows of disabled soldiers, the .News it Observer says-.- "Mr. Carr paid a most touching and eloquent tribute to the soldiers of North Carolina, and spoke of the proportionate part she took in the great struggle: He said history had never done justice to the glory which surrounds them. . 'Tlie soldiers of North Carolina must rank in a his tory yet to be written'.' ; He spoke of the meagre aid that the Stat-j has tendered them' to show its gratitude and made an eloquent .appeal in their behalf." : ; ' ; The resolution was adopted.
