GREENSBORO, N. C. ' Entered at the Post-Office at Greensboro, N. C as . j 1 second class mail matter. By J. S. Hampton. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY nth, 18S7. The senate committee on com merce is holding daily meeting to consider the river and harbor bill and hopes to report to the Senate early next week. The Richmond Whig" says : The present Congress has done some good work, for which the country will not refuse to give it credit. But it has failed to put a stop to the collection of surplus revenue by repealing the internal tax on tobacco, and the people will remember this Congress for the thing that it left undone rath er for the things that it has done. . The Crematorial Association of Philadelphia is preparing to build the .largest and costliest crema tory chapel in the world. It will have a front of sixty-six feet, a depth of 105 feet ; the distance will be 90 feet to the . top of the dome, the material will be granite, pressed red brick and terra cotta, and the cost will be $40,000. . The New York Herald's leader of Tuesday is p. discussion of the question, "Is Colonel Watterson a Democrat ?" It says that he is quoted iiva hundred or more news papers as saying in most positive terms that the renomination of Mr. Cleveland is inevitable and as certain as any event can be, and yet he goes on from day. to day writing what is " plainly intended to lower men's opinion of Mr Cleveland. The Herald maintains that Colonel Watterson's course in this respert is a sensible one if his purpose is to defeat the Dem ocratic party, bui a very insane one it his desire is for the success of 'the party in 1888;- If leaves the reader to decide whether the representative of. the Star-Eyed Goddess has . gone , out from the Democratic party or has gone daft. It is of some interest to know what percentage of the weather predictions made at Washington prove true.: The Wilmington Re view says the last monthly report received shows that the predic tions, issued three times a day, amounted to 9,626 during the month. Of these, 770, or 8 per per cent., are considered to have failed entirely, 608, or 6.32 per cent., were one-fourth verified ; I, 665, or 17.30 per cent. .were one half verified; 1,664, or l7-29 pe cent., were three-fourths verified, and 4,919, 01:51. 10 per cent., were fully verified. -y The predictions are based on . scientific facts; and framed with scientific care, but the conditions are so various that it would be unreasonable to expect absolute accuracy. Yesterday, in the U. S. Senate, eulogies were pronounced upon the late Senetor. Logan. Mrs. Logan with her son and daugh ter and friends occupied seats in the private gallery. The chaplain ' in the prayer offered v a graceful tribute to Che deceased. Mr.' Cullom offered a; resolution as soon as the journal was read, that as ah additional mark of . respect .to the memory of the late Senator Logan, business be now susperld- i ed in order that the friends and associates of the de ceased may pay' fitting tribute to his public and private sjervices. Then followed a revamping of all the odd hypocrital gush and non sense usual on such occasions. Democrats and Republicans striv ing together to see who could ex toll his virtues the highest. This stuff must be exceedingly nausu ating to the honest yeomanry of the country, who . remember, that less than three years ago, when the late Senator was a candidate for the vice-presidency of the na tion, he was roundly abused as a corrupt political trickster, devoid of principle, without education or refinement; and it was said, as a further reproach, that he had In dian blood in his veins, and was dubbed "Black Jack." Is he any better dead than he was liv ing? Mr. Sabine said, "Mr. Lo gan was a colossus among the giants of American history. A NARROW ESCAPE. A Young Somas mbnlist stop3 from a Train at Full Spoad. A Cincinnatti telegram says: A special telegram from Xenia, this State, tells of a wonderful es cape from injury of a child who fell from an express train running at full speed. Mrs.T. Anderson, of No. 90 Madison street, Newport, Ky., was on her way home from Cleveland, with her four small c hildren. She was on the Pan Handle express, due at Xenia at 4:45 a. m. Her children were all asleep, and . she dropped asleep herself for a few minutes. When she awoke she was horrified to find that Charlie,her nine-year old boy, was missing. A hunt for him was instituted, by the train men, but he could not be found, and it became evident that, either asleep or waking, he had walked out on the platform of the car and fallen off. The train . was neaiing the Penia, and when it reached the station the determination was at once reached to send a party back to look-for the lost boy. Several train men and passengers mounted a yard engine which was at hand, and ran slowly up the track. Lights were so placed on the engine as. to enable the party to distinguish objects for a little distance on both sides of the track. The searchers hoped for nothing better than to find the re mains of the boy perhaps horribly mangled but, after a run of eight miles, they caught sight of him crouched down by the side of a barbed wire fence. An examina tion showed that he was not only alive but had not received the slightest injuries; not even the slightest bruise could be found. A light was thrown across the field from the window of a farm house, and the boy had made an unsuc cessful; effort to get through the fence and go in the ! direction of the light. He had no reccollec tion as to leaving his mother and falling from the train, which has given rise to the conclusion that he was' walking in his sleep. Up on the return of the, party to Xi- enia the tram proceeded,, having been detained by the incident one hour and forty minutes. Dr. O. F. Pare, of Brunswick, Me.,' who died recently, had cnarges lor meaicai services amounting to $2,000 and over against the operatives in the cot ton factory there. Just before his death he said that he was afraid some one of them , might suffer if th e pay m ent was enforced, so he had h:s account books brdught in and burned in hi presence. - Magistrate You are accused of stealing chickens, Uncle Rastus, Are you guiity, or not guilty?

Washington, February 9 The speaker laid before the house senate bill to encourage the man ufacture of steel for modern naval ordnance and other naval purpo ses, and to provide .heavy ordi nance adapted lo modern naval warfare. . Mr. Reed, of Maine, asked un- . amnions consent for the immedi ate consideration of the bill. Mr. Holman, of Indiana, ob jected; Mr. Reed then asked that it be made a special order for Monday nexi. I Mr Tvrln nf Tlltnrktc Inrnncprl I an objection. Mr. Reed inquired to what com mittee on appropriations. After debate as to the questions of reference. . Mr. Reed stated that his object was to have the bill referred to a committee which had the right to report at a.iy time, so that if there was a failure to report, the re sponsibility might be fixed. He was satisfied with the speaker's ruling that it be referred to the committee on appropriations. ihe speaker then presented the senate bill providing for the man ufacture of ordnance for army purposes and making appropria tions for coast defences. After debate similar to that on the preceding bill it was referred to the committee on appropria tions. The speaker said that if his rul ing as to the committee to which both bills were referred should seem after argument to have been incorrect, he would retract his rulins". In the morning hour considcra- ! ation of the bill chaneincr the modeof compensatii.g United btates aetcrneys, marshals and commissioners was resumed. Mr: Rogers, of Arkansas, made a bitter attack on the mcasurc.de claring that it was loosely and crudely prepared. An acrimonious debate ensued between Mr.c Rogers and Mr, Gib son, of West .Virginia, who had reported this bill, during which many personalities were indulged in. Mr. Rogers finally congratula ted the gentleman's constituency updn having, retired from him public life after the present ses sion. Mr. Gibson repot ted that if he had been" a politician and used ring methods of a demagogue, he might have been re-elected as the gentleman had been; that if the gentleman implied that a sin gle feature of the measnre had been framed on account of his (Gibson's) brothtr being a district attorney in Virginia, the ffentlc man foully and falsely slandered him in the hall where he knew it could not be resented. Mr, Rogers said the gentle man had dragged his brother into the discussion. The bill would show how well that brother had been taken care of. He brought out that while the gentleman's brother earned $4,400 and was given $3,000 by the bill, the attor ney of this district who earned $7,000 was cut bown to $4,000. The morning hour expired with out action. .
