Mr. V J .en The Wilmington' Chamber of Com merce li to - be commended upon Its timely action on Thursday in appoint ing the committee to secure the defeat of the obnoxious section In the revenue act before the general assembly at Ral eigh. The committee in turn is to be congratulated upon its prompt and ef fective steps to have the objectionable section striken from the blH.- The section levied a tax on each drummers or, traveling representative sent out by merchants or dealers in this state, and for, that matter, taxed aH drummers $50, although the friends of the bill explained that the purpose of the bill was not to tax drummers com ing Into the state from other states. It is manifest that great Injustice would have been done to North Carolina merchants in taxing their drummers $50, while drummers coming into the state to compete with them In securing trade would not have the tax to pay. ' Although the friends of the scheme to tax drummers $50 said Its provisions would not apply to drummers from other states, the wording of the bill would certainly have included all drummers.- The section of the act -would, however, have been In conflict with the decision of the supreme court, which in one or more decisions along this line has held that, under the inter-State commerce act, a tax could not be levied upon drummers from other states. -: "A crick in the hack," a pain under the shoulder-blades, water brash, bil iousness, and constipation, are symp toms of disordered stomach, kidneys, liver, and bowels.

A Highwayman Bonnd Over to Court, In the city court yesterday Julius Coachman, colored, charged with high way robbery, In holding up W. A. Mc Quillan, colored, in Burr & Bailey's alley, and with a pistol compelling him to hand him $5, was given a hearing before Mayor Harriss. McQuillan testified as to the facts lated heretofore in. The Messenger. Hiq testimony was substantiated mainly by Lum Travis, colored, who differed with him in saying that Will Bell, Coach man's accomplice, was the one that got the money. Coachman testified. He said his home was. in South Carolina; that he had- never been In the South Carolina penitentiary but served a while on chaingang for shooting a man. He said he could not deny that he was up the alley with" McQuillan and Bell, and said Bell got the $5 frgm McQuillan by , some trick at cards. He denied that he played policeman and made McQuillan given' up the $5. He said he was once employed as a train hand by Captain J. W LaMotte on the Wilmington, cvl umbia and Augusta railroad, s Captain LaMotte was examined and gave Coachman a bad character. The mayor bound him over to the criminal court in a bond of $300 which he failed to give. ' The Opera House. Professor E. A.

The quotations on lettuce yesterday were $5 to $7 per barrel. . An Infamous Bill. The Norfolk Virginian of yesterday commenting on what The . Messenger had. to say in reference to the matter has the following: " . 1 "The action of the North Carolina legislature in passing a bill empower ing Governor Russell to appoint -one-half of the- alderjnen for the city of Wilmington, is a disgrace, to that com monwealth, and a measure which re calls the carpet bag regime in that state of a former time. The measure is justly condemned by the democratic party everywhere, as it should be by all falrmlnded people, for it is an at tempt pure and simple to deprive the people of home rule, and Fhoul 1 not be THE INCENDIARY CASE. Ex-Poll oema m Trod T. Howland Bound Over to the Criminal Court on tbe Charg of Setting Fire to the Naval Stores Yard of Messrs. BoMnson St King Dickson to Havs m Hearing Tomorrow. The preliminary-hearing in the case of ex-Policeman. Fred P. , Howland. charged with setting , fire to the naval stores yard of Messrs. Robinson .& King, took place yesterday at 12 m., before Mayor W. N, Harriss in the city court. The court room was crowded with citizens. The prisoner was in court with his lawyers, Messrs. Marsden Bellamy and Herbert McClammy. A. G. Ricaud, Esq., was present as the prosecuting attorney. ? . ' The first witness called and sworn was Clarence Pridgen, who testified in the main as follows: ! I will be 19 years of age on the 20th of April. I live in Pender county 35 miles from Wilming ton by water. Between 12 and 3 o'clock on the , morning of last Wednesday I was on a fiat in the river at the wharf opposite the power house of the Wil mington : Street Railway Company, on Water street. , I was asleep in the cab in of the fiat when the fire broke out on the lower part of Water street (the flre in the Calder warehouse and the naval stores yard of MurchSson & Co.) When the alarm was sent in my father woke me up and we jumped up on top of the cabin . to look at the fire. I saw an other fire that night in the tar yard on the other side of the dock from where our flat was lying. I don't ' know whose tar yard it was. My father had gone to the other flre. While I was watching" the lower fire I saw a man strike a match op the wharf of the tar yard( Messrs.Roblnson & King's). He messed with the match till it went out. He then struck anpther match dropped it between some barrels. He then struck another match and a few seconds I saw a blaze running to the top of the barrels. The fire was set on the part of the building front ing on the river. The place where the flre was set was just across , the dock from our flat. The barrels were n platform ' on the water side. I was watching the other fire burning and the man who set flre to the tar yard was between me and the fire. I saw him disticntly when he struck the match. The light from the match gave addi tional light that enabled me to see the man plainly. Witness being asked by Mr. 'Ricaud if he would know the roan If he saw him. answered yes. Asked If he had seen the man since, he pointed out the accused man and said "Yonder he is." Witness said he was in Mr. j. ti. Kuck's store on Wednesday (after the fire) and saw Howland there and rec ognized him. On- the same day the mayor sent for me and as I was going up Water street with the policeman to the mayor's office, we met him on the street and I recognized Mm. I was not acquainted with him and have.no per sonal feeling against him. Being ask ed if (he was sure" Howland was the man hie saw set flre to the barrels, wit ness said I am. positive he Is the man I saw. ,v Cross examined by Mr. Bellamy wit ness said: I Hve In Kaintuca townsnap, 'Pender county: My postoflioe is Keith. I live 250 yards from Black river. I was bom and raised there. My father is La- Fayetfce Pridgen. We came down to Wilmington wWh a flat load of wood. The flat was Wed to the post on the wharf. The cabin was on the end of the flat pointing up town. My father woke me up when the lower fire broke out I got out of the cabin and sat om top of 1ft. Witness again described the striking of the matches. When the man was striking the matches, I saw an other miant .on the wharf against (op posite) ane. t asked the (man 'Mid you find ft?" I suppose he was about twenty or twenty-fly feet from where I was. Our flat la sixty. or seventy feet long. After the. fire I never went back to bed, but lay down on the "top of the caitn.; The man who set flre to the place was standing up. . I suppose 'he was there two minuptes and a half. His back was Nx the lower flre and he was Ifacing me when he istruck the match and held It up. r vAlbert, Mtotz being sworn, testified as follows: I am engineer at the power house of the Wilmington Street Railroad Com pany. I was at the power house on Tuesday night or Wednesday morning when the fire Was going on. I know Howland. I saw him between 12 and 3 o'clock Wednesday morning. About 2:15 o'clock Wednesday morning, I saw Fred-Howland in the engine .room of the power house. 'He was drinking. He asked for some matches. Z. P. Jones gave him two matches.' I then weni behind Howlaind from the engine room to the corner of the huilddng at the car shed. Whien he left the corner he went to the direction of Robinson & King's naval stores yard. It was not more than ten or fifteen minutes from the time he left me till I saw the blaze in Rbblnson & King's yard. I was standing on the wharf and saw the man on the rosin yard Strike one match. I then went to the engine room door and spoke to the fireman and then 'went to the rosin yard and saw my cousto, John Mtatz, puttingj out the fire. Cross examined by Mr. Bellamy tbe witness said when (he saw the match strike, he saw the "bulk of a man" on the rosin wharf with, a match in has hand. I oCuId not tell who the man was. On the redirect examination, of the witness by Mr. Ricaud he said: I never noticed carefully when the maJtch was , struck; My cousin, John Mimtz, put the- fire out. Between me and the main who Struck the match a little fence on the cap1 of the wharf offered some obstruction to toy view. 0083 examined by Mr. Bellamy, the witness 'said: When I saw the man strike the match I was leaning against the post at the corner of the wharf. Mr. Pridgen's flat had moved down into-the dock about twelve or fifteen feet ttn the ebb tide. I saw but one match struck. - 'Mr. Ricaud- announced that the state would offer no further testimony.

We have justre ceived a large; supply. jonn n. eaedei, rt Fret Etret. witnesses examined?., inquired the mayor. Mt. Bellamy answered: The defence will offer no testimony." Mr. Ricaud, without getting up from his seat, remarked to the mayor that he did not propose to address the court, as it was. a simple question of whether there was probable cause for binding the prisoner over to the criminal court. "Against ; which we don't contend," put In Mr. Bellamy. Mr. . Ricaud arose and said he didn't suppose It was necessary to make any remarks, but he would say that the accused was a policeman when, he (Mr. Ricaud) was mayor. Being1 an officer of the law and realizing the responsi bility of the position) and the dignity and honor attaching to a policeman's duty, 1f he was guilty of the charge he was worse than the average crimi; nal. If he can prove his Innocence In the httgher court nobody will be beftter satisfied than I. He servd as a police man under roe as mayor and I always had the kindest personal feeling to ward htm. I shall ask the court to hold him Under bond. Mayor Harriss stated that he would bind the prisoner over to the criminal court,, which convenes next week, and require a justified bond of $1,000 for his appearance. The prisoned fafledi to give bond. The following witnesses were' Uiien reoognozedin the sum of $50 for their appearance il at the criminal: court Clarence' Pridgen, C. H. Robinson, J. P. Jones, E. G. Jones, John Mintz, Police Sergeant Thomas Lossin and Policeman James Wells. THE HOSPITAL GUILD. Another Meeting to Be Held at the T. M, C. A: Parlors Tomorrow Afternoon to Take Further Steps Towards the Estab lishment of a Woman's Ward at the City Hospital. The Hospital Guttld will meet again at the Y. M. C. A. parlors at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon to take further steps in their efforts to establish a woman's ward at the city hospital. It is hoped that all ladies who are wil ling to unite with the Guild will meej with them. The Hospital circle of The King's Daughters requests us to state thait as their work is "memorial", in its tea.-. tures ithey cannot join with the Guild but are In sympathy with the move ment and hope for its success, The following paper, read by Mrs. Budley Burkhimer at the meeting at the. Y. M. C A. parlors -last Thursday afternoon, explains the purposes of the Guild: . To 'the Uadies and Board of Regents: We have assembled this afternoon to consult .with the citizens and board of regents of the city hospital as to the advisability of organizing a society for the purpose of working in behalf of a woman's ward tn connection Cwith the city hospital and under the supervisioh of the board of regents. I will explain here that the Ladies' Benevolent Society is m no wise con nected with this new project, but this is to be a distinct society. Bar the purpose of carrying on the work identical with that which the Ladies' Benevolent So ciety so successfully did at their "Dis pensary and Rest" for invalid women. The present city hospital, as ft is, does not give us scope in which to suc ceed in benefitting a. vast number of worthy women whk need treatment. therefore we ask for the co-operaition of the ladies and citizens generally. When ithe Ladies' Benevolent Society abandoned the "Dispensary and Rest" there was a fund of nearly $1,000 pledg ed' by private Individuals to erect a "Woman's Hospital" on their property grounds, and when the wtork was laid aside the fund was returned. It was decided to ask the board of regents of : the city hospital if they would accept our work in building a ward should we organize as a society, stating that there was a fund of nearly $1,000 given the Ladies' Benevolent Society, which, if the parties would transfer it to the city hospital Wo man's ward project, would be placed as a nucleus or trust fund in the savings bank ait 4 per cent. Efforts would then be made to increase the fund. We do not think it advisable to add to the present hospital building, as all know the whole structure is unfit in its construction as. a hospital, and when the city and county see the advisabil ity of building a modern brick hdspital, we will be able to erect and have the maintenance of a modern-constructed woman's ward, in which we will all take pride, a hospital fitting the city of Wilmington. The sooner this is contem plated, the better it will be for the hospital in general, bringing in more patients and of such a class who have heretofore gone elsewhere, increase its revenue and of a necessity fts corps of nurses, attendants, etc. Will not some one whom the Lord has biassed endow our movement, or ait least-give us a nucleus In order that we may Start a fund? As I stated be fore, "Freely have ye received, freely give." We will not organize as "King's Daughters," itherefore we trust any of our Jewish friends who wish to unite with us will do so. We are simply a band of women, banded together to help other afflicted worthy women, for the ultimate good of the community, realizing that we must possess sound bodies if we hope for clear minds and correct morals.

Honor and Fame for North Carolina Women. One of the great educational author ities of the age, says in a recent art! cle, In one of the periodicals, that "the ideal and practical education of the day, partakes of that spirit of evolu tion which appears in all human his tory. It strives to make available to the family life, the highest in science, philosophy,, history, . literature, and even on dietary and agriculture does, education touch thus helping to stop n,.,M,ffi ciirxirr.e- erenerations much Llll UU" o - .. of the pauperism desease and unthnlty habits wmcn are transiuii-icvi. m-ui . . v.-;iri It was to clothe with facts these ideas and of making them a real thing of the future, that brougnt togexner in -rr.v;rr-T. lQat wprf-V the convention known as the National Congress ,ol Mothers, which in its preliminary steps attracted such numbers that the great vn.iitino- -hail rf the Arlington and ucui4u,v...B - .... later, one of the large public buildings of the city, proved inadequate iwr iue crowd. Men and women from north, cr,i,h oast and west came together, but from the hearts and brains of our southern women usually so siow io take up any advanced movement the nnvortiftn found its heartiest respon ses and strongest sentiments, and it was a North Carolina . woman Mrs. Robert R. Cotton, who won by her abje speeches, tne appiause oi uk .y. ura fntt-Mi's naner. savs The Wah ine-ton Post Times and Star, called forth such storms of .enthusiasm, that .Aiiarai tiimcua her remarks had to be suspended until the intense interest subsided. Ko paper reao ueiore mt congress was so heartily indorsed. Her Kubiect "A National Training School fnr- t others" showed deep thought, study and ability. Perhaps at first,one ia temDted to smile at the subject whitVi .!, handlpa in so master--' - way, for are not the home and nature horaelf the training school for the MV,ar fnr n fortunate few. yes. but not for' the masses)? Yet so ably and clearly does this brilliant woman elucl Aota. ,. Meas. and formulate her Tiigns that rterforce we adoDt them. Although clinging to the old, old truths of motherhood and domesticity, and holding fast to ideals and tradi tions as old as humanity itself she yet nsirsii T.vorit.ia for woman, -a life so intelligent, and broad, ttiat while still remaining the- loyal wife and home loving mother, she can bring the ruling of her household and the training of her children under scientanc laws, vrra not ton savs that "the training of a voter, is greater than the casting n.r o nntc and that national ETeatness depends on the mothers of a nation" they should thereiore oe given an xue scientific training and knowledge nec essary for their high calling. They should be taught applied chemistry, and architecture because of the-comfort and convenience of their home, sanitation and disinfection, to combat the foes of health in tneir own non vr.trta anA thus dispel much of the DOV erty 'drudgery, and desease which are vPflt.moo tho result of ienoranee. IJmited space forbids more lengthy notes from this clever speech, so high ly spoken of by the New'York papers and published almost in full by the Washington papers. It Is always with diffidence that we praise our own, and we take it, that our press shares wnn tne stare at large, that refniiar modestv. ever a distin guished feature of North Carolina which forbids any praise of her sons or her daughters, so we are indebted to the great metropolitan papers, for the high compliments bestowed upon our able representative at the National Congress of Mothers. r.ii- Wilrtiinf ton nennlft will read with pleasure of Mrs. Cotton's triumph as she is well remembered here.in her ous work for North . Carolina, during the world's fair. Speaking of the exposition reminds us of another North Carolina woman, Mrs. Peter M. Wilson, daughter of the late Major Peter M. Hale, who scored such a success for herself on the jury cf awards.that her services were retain ed long after the "Dream City" had vanished and the extension f its work removed to Washington, h-r connection with the committee on med als and diplomas being only severed when that committee dissolved a short time ago.

The first cau cus of the senate of tbe Fifty-fifth con gress, was held this afternoon. It was not productive of results. After a dis cussion of one hour and a half, during which Senator Allison, of Iowa, was made the caucus chairman,' and Senator Wilson, of Washington, re-elected cau cus secretary, a resolution, was adopt ed authorizing the chairman to appoint a committee of seven, of which he, him self, is to be the head. This committee is known as the committee on "the sit uation." .-;'"; i : ' TKe discussion tliis afternoon, while largely Informal in character, developed the fact that the republicans are not agreed as to Where they stand, or how they '-will stand, when the membership of the senate is completed by the elec tion of senators to fill existing vacan cies in Oregon and Kentucky. Senator Aldrich, a member of the steering committee of the last senate, started the discussion with the state ment that the caucus should decide whether it would at this time appoint a committe to fill the vacancies in the senate committees, or whether it would appoint a politictl committee similar to the steering committee of the last ses sion. Senator Aldrich, who had given the situation in the senate very careful consideration was inclined to go slow, and suggested that It would be wise for the republicqans to know theiri strength before asserting it This sug-' gestlon appeared to meet with the com mendation of the other leaders in the senate. - - .' Senator Proctor said there could be no doubt that the republicans , would have a majority in the senate, with the casting vote of the vice president. He asserted that a republican would be sent from each .of the states of Oregon and Kentucky. Inasmuch as . this makes a total of but forty-four votes, and forty-five are necessary to tie the senate on a full vote. Senator Proctor was asked where he proposed to get that one. vote. He evaded the question and the conversation became general. It Is said that no names were mention ed, but the intimation was very strong ly conveyed that Senator Kyle would supply that vote. Senator Kyle is the populist recently re-elected from South Dakota , by the solid republican vote, after the greater part of his own party had forsaken him. Should he vote with the republicans, and should they get two votes from Kentucky and Oregon, "Vice President Hobart would be in -a position to cast the deciding vote oh all contested questions. The action of Governor Bradley, of Kentucky, In appointing Mr. Wood to succeed Mr. Blackburn was commented upon. It was conceded ithat this ap pointment would be contested and that the credentials of Mr. Wood would be sent to the committee on privileges and elections, whers a fight against him will be inaugurated. The decision of the senate in the Mantle case was also al luded to, and the predictions made that in view of this decision Mr. Wood would hardly be permitted to take his seat. Senator Hoar took the ground that the Kentucky case was! controlled by the decision in the Blair and Bell cases from New Hampshire, a decision which, he observed parenthetically, ought to have been respected in the considera tion of the Mantle case For this rea son it was believed by many that no senator from- Kentucky, would be per mitted to take his seat uintil elected by the legislature. The Oregon case also came in for some discussion. Senator Proctor making the statement that the goyernor of that state would also ap point a senator. j In view of all these facts it was agreed that it would be the . part of wisdom to move slowly, ; and a resolu tion offered by Senator; Cullom, and modified at the suggestion of Senator Hoar, was agreed to, providing for the committee heretofore indicated. This committe will confer with the demo cratic leaders in an endeavor to ascer tain the "situation," and) will report to another caucus, which will be held Tues day. . i A NOTED ATLANTA CASE. For four years I haves been afflicted with a very troublesome nasal catarrh. So terrible has its nature been that when I blew my nose small pieces of bone would frequently come out of my mouth and nose. The" discharge was copious, and at times Very offensive. My blood became so impure that my general health was greatly impaired, with poor appetite and worse digestion Numerous medicines were used with out relief, until I began the use of Bo tanic Blood Balm B. B.!B. and there bottles acted almost like magic Since its use, over a year, not a symptom has returned, and I feel in every way quite restored in health. I am an old citizen of Atlanta, and refer- to almost any one living: on Butler street, and more particularly to Dr. L. M. Giliam, who knows my case. i . MRS. ELIZABETH KNOTT, Atlanta, Ga.

FayetteTlIle's Toddy to be Dispensed to Her (Hereafter Backward (Farming. Death, Marriages, Etc. J 1 (Correspondence of The Messenger.) Fayetteville, N. C., March 6. Fayetteville la stirred up over the passage of the dispensary bill badly divided in a. conflict of feeling and opinion oh the question. The statement of Mr. Sutton as reported in the pro ceeding's of the legislature-hat the submission of the matter to' the voters of the county would defeat the bill, carried with It an admission that he was helping to push through the house a measure to which a majority of his constituents were opposed. Mr. Wemyss' assertion also was mislead ing that there was not a citizen in the county who would dare "to sign a pe tition against the bill. Here is the case in a nut shell: There are many lead ing citizens, strong- advocates .of (tem perance, who hail the passage of the bill with delight; others, equally prom inent, who oppose rt; others who be lieve It should have been voted on at the polls; a fourth class, who favor some -such 'measure, hut believe this bill too-drastio and sweeping 4n Cts provisions. " But your r correspondent Is safe fa this summing' up of the whole matter: If the dispensary proves po tential to promoting morality and di mdnishlng drunkenness, the "God speed it" will be hearty n thfcr community. The remains of Mrs. Ann McGary, who died at Durham' yesterday, will arrive here this afternoon at 4:15 o'clock, via the Atlantic Coast Line, and the funeral services will take place from St. John's church, j She was the third daughter of the late David Bell, for many years an officer of the United States arsenal at this place.
