The standing committee of the Southern Presbyterian Assembly recommend that ly.KR) Ik? appropriated to missionary work among the negroes of the South. The office the Board of Foreign Missions was moved baltimore to Nashville. Near f llrownsville, A-, Thursday, two young men ight a duel with pistols ; one was killed at t'ip second shot, and the other then fled ving the same girl led to the duel. A british steamer arriving at Boston yesterday sported having passed the 17. S. cruiser antic on the 22d steaming toward New ork. site had lost her foremast and jib mm A train on the St. Louis & San l-rancisco railroad was wrecked near Sulli V;ln. Mo., Thursday night ; forty-five passen sw were seriously injured, and not a single person on the train escaped some injury.

The President has pardoned a Dem ocrat in Illinois convicted of election frauds. What can Foraker & Co. think of such conduct on the part of their little Ben? j Mr. T. B. Kixgsrury, recently of the Wilmington Star, has accepted the position as associate editor of the -Meows nrjtr.- We did not suppose his editorial talents would be al lowed long to remain idle! f " I -' There are bucket-shops and bucket-shops ; some turn out wooden bottoms and some take in wooden heads. The one at Fayetteville is of the former kind and we are glad to see that it is a great success. The latest political dodge on the part of persons wanting positions in the Postbffice department is to have their applications endorsed by leading divines. This is mighty catching with the pious head of that department. Mr. Harrison's new; Commis sioner of Patents lays claim to a novel power. He says he has the right to review the decision of his prede cessors on the subject of patents, thereby upsetting the vested rights of.any patentee whenever it suits him. As the Richmond and Danville Railroad have been denied the in- junction against the Durham and Northern, we suppose the latter will soon go to work on the Peabody street extension and soon have trains running along that street. We look for this to form a part of the main line of theiriroad before long. At a meeting of the city board of aldermen of Wilmington the other night, a member proposed to levy a tax6n cats.! The Star savs : ''After i a some discussion the concatenation of opinion prevented the catastro phe, and Thomas and Maria were declared to be exempt from taxation, and subject only to the extreme al ternative death.". A Mrs. Flow, of Mecklenburg coun ty, awaked! the other night to find a burglar in her room. Of course she began to scream at the top of her voice. Her screams so frightened the burglar that he ran from the house, leaving behind him his satchel; a bowie knife and four dollars in sil ver. Mrs. Flow would like for some more burglars of the same kind to call the next time her husband is away from home. At the beginning of his term the President pretended that he was go ing .to rely upon the recommenda tions and suggestions of Senators and members ,of Congress in making appointments. He has just ap pointed a certain man Collector of Internal Revenue in an Illinois dis trict against the protest of both Sen ators from that State.! This is another of the many instances show ing the inconsistency between his words and his acts. The Germans threw something of a bomb into the Berlin commission proceedings, by setting up a demand for indemnity at the last moment. Our delegates resisted the demand, and say Germany shall have nothing more than a nominal j indemnity. They claim that Mataafa was justified in fighting, and tnat at any rate the Samoans were too poor to pay any indemnity. The American delegates are determined to stand by their de mand for the restoration of King Malietoa. This has caused another hitch. DURHAM, N. C, SATURDAY, MAY 25, 1889.

If not, have it put there and join the phalanx that is arrayed against the direful evil of bar-rooms. A number of our citizens .will leave on the 0 o'clock train,; for Hillsboro, to attend the iuneral of the lamented Judge Thomas Ruffin, which will take place at 7 o'clock this afternoon. Don't forget the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, at Y. M. C. A. hall, Monday after noon, at 4 o'clock. Let's have some encouraging reports from the com mittees at that time, j Our townsmen, Messrs. Leo D., Howard E., Frank H. and Ed. A. Heartt, have the sympathy of the community in the death of their fa ther, Mr. L. E. Heartt, which oc curred, in his 75th year, at his home in Raleigh, last night. The funeral will take place to morrow morning. We had the pleasure of hearing last night part of a very strong and earnest sermon by Rev. R. G. Pear son, the evangelist. It is said that Greensboro is shaken from centre to circumference by the powerful preaching ol this servant of God and that glorious results follow the ser vices. The Board of Town Commis sioners will meet to-night to consider the latest developments in the rail road right of way matter. We would suggest that the Board resist to the last extremity the further en- croachments upon Peabody street which Madam Rumor says will be attempted. What a pity that more consideration was not given to the first proposition. - Notice. v inert; win uc n icuuiai uiccuui' ui Durham Chamber ot Commerce and Industry in the Y. M. C. A.

A call was circulated this after noon for a meeting of the colored voters of the town on Monday night, for the purpose, the call says, "of considering the local option question arriong the colored people, and to discuss its benefits, whether it is ior us or against us. v The circular closes as follows : "We hope that all good thinking people of our race will come and earnestly con sider the matter on Monday night, May 27, 1889. Come one, come all H The place of meeting is not stated. MISS GRACE KING, Among the Southern writers who have recently come into promi nence, Miss Grace King, of New Or leans, Louisiana, has been the short est time before the public, the first issue lot her "Monsieur Motte, in which is told the touching self-sacrifice and devotion of a negress for a destitute and orphaned white child, having appeared in the New Prince ton Review about two years ago. This story, written with no definite idea of publication,wasseen by some literary friends who,immediately re alizing its merit, advised sending it to the New Princeton Review, then in quest of a tale for its first issue. It won the writer an instant repu tation jboth in this country and in England. Miss King's next venture was ''Bonne Maman," which ap peared in Harpers Monthly, followed shortly by a third story of the same general character, "Madame Lare veilliere," a development of "Mon sieur Motte." These stories are characterized by a warmth of color ing, sometimes increased to a fierce glow, and a delicate and sympa thetic treatment showing perfect familiarity with the people and scenes! portrayed. Miss King be longs to an American family, her fa ther, a native of Georgia, having moved to New Orleans many years ago, where he became one of the most prominent lawyers' of the sec tion. A man of culture and literary ability!, he gave to the education of his children his personal supervi sion arid encouragement, and to him theyoung author feels that she owes much of her success in the field of letters.! Educated at Creole schools, the associations and surroundings of her early life were almost entirely French or Creole, and to this fact we are indebted for the delightful de scriptions of the interior of a young radies boarding school, in New Or leans, which forms so effective a set ting for the main incident of "Mon sieur Motte." There is in her delin eation !of character no element of exaggeration, but simply a faithful presentation of the impulsive South em temperament instinct with - the warmth of the Southern sun. Railroad Rumor. It is reported on the streets to-day that the injunction against the Dur ham it Northern road in the Pea body street right of way matter has been dissolved and that it is agreed that the Richmond & Danville road shall have the right to place a side track between their present track and the Durham & Northern track in the vicinity of the Hotel Claiborn, which means that the Durham & Northern track will be put some feet nearer than it is now to the sidewalk in that locality. We do not vouch for the accuracy of the report, but if it is true and the side track arrange ment is carried out, it will add to the injury already inflicted upon one of our public thoroughfares. Won't Peabody street be a daisy then ? Since the above was written, we jearn that it is contemplated that the Richmond & Danville road is also to have the right to place a side track on the North side of the Dur ham & Northern ; that is to say, be tween the Durham & Northern and the sidewalk as far down as Corco ran street Whether or not this track is to go beyond Corcoran street we did not hear.

A Leach, Thomasville, N. C., May 22d, 18S9, $5.00 PER ANNUM. Special Collection, The members of Trinitv Sundav School are reminded that the collec tion to-morrow morningiwill be for the benefit of the Oxford Orphan Asylum. The amount thus donated will be taken to the Asylum by the school next Saturday, upon the oc casion of its excursion to Oxford, it is hoped that a good sum will be made up for this laudable purpose. Good Public Roads. At the June meeting of the joint board of commissioners and justices the question of how the public roads of Durham county shall be kept up, will be considered and determined. We hope the board will be thor oughly imbued with the importance of the subject and will adopt the best method, which seems to be the pres ent system. We commend to the consideration of the commissioners and justices and of our people gener ally the following from the Manufac hirers' Record upon the . subject of good roads: " "Quite an important factor in the development of any section of coun try is the public roads. Good roads are an advertisement in themselves. Great attention deservedly is be stowed in this country upon rail roads, while wagon roads1 are gener ally left to take care of themselves, or aie turned over to managers who know little about road making. The public roads of.the South need much improvement, and no time should be lost in devising effective methods of bettering their condition. With this end in view a number of prominent citizens of Georgia have invited the people of several coun ties of that State to send delegates to a Road Congress, to be held at At lanta on May 22d, to consider the subject of improving highways and devise an effective and enconomical system of road making. Similar ac tion ought to be taken by the peo ple of other States. Good roads pay for themselves in the saving they ef fect in the wear and tear of vehicles and the strain upon draught ani mals, to say nothing of the advan tages to traffic and the convenience of the traveling public. The mate rials for road-making of the highest order are abundantly distributed all over the South, and the public roads of that section, with good manage ment, could be made the best in the country." A Very Large Percentage. Of the American people are troubled with a most annoying, troublesome and disagreeable complaint called "Catarrh." It is not neces sary to be so troubled. It is demonstrated beyond question that Clare's Extract ok Flax (Papillon) Catarrh Cure immedi ately relieves and permanently cures Catarrh. A thorough and fair trial will convince you. Use Clarke's Flax Soap for the Skin. Ca tarrh Cure $1.00. Soap 2o cents. At R. F. Whitehurt's Drug Store: BUSINESS NOTICES. Just received, a beautful line of Cheviot Shirts, at Jones & Lyon's.
