Greensboro, N. C. Wednesdry .tttmtt a k-T I wwiA-i A) A.WWfs No. 119 r W W -W k M - I mm mm Special Correspondence of the News. Washington, Slay 29. 1887. The popular verdict is that the National Drill which has just closed was the greatest event of its char acter that has occurred since the war Crowds of humanity were present at its daily exhibitions. A splendid array of citizen soldiers from every section of the country contested for the handsome prizes and gave, from day to day, displays of marvelous proficiency in military tactics that caused wonder and delight among the enthusiastic spectators. It was a magnificent succss, and will - be . re membered with pleasure by 'all who had any connection with it, whether as managers, soldiers or visitors. Much regret is felt that fhe.President would not remain in Washington to deliver the prizes, as was at first an nounced. It would have given ad ditional interest to the winding up of the affair, and besides have given an added value to the prizes and medals received by the successful companies. It is regretted also that the President will be absent on the 30th, as it was hoped that he would give his presence at the decoration ceremonies at Arlington. This has been the custom with the President since this holy institution was created, and the absence of Mr. Cleveland is not considered a mark of sympathy with the day and its hallowed uses Decoration day is the annual com munion day with the ex-soldiers, and itls observed with solemn and fitting services in Washington. The President's declaration that a fraud on the ballot box is the "worst of crimes,'' calls up a loud and lingering echo throughout the length and breadth of the land. He is heartily commended for the vigorous language in which he denounces the offense, and this commendation is all the more genuine because of the be lief that he means every word he said. Those who have seen the President and noted his splendid physical ap pearance all agree ihat the news paper story, as to his fears that he would not live out his term, is a silly invention of some enterprising correspondent. Pension Commissioner Black has just notified claimants for pensions that they must purg their communi cations of every thing in the nature of an appeal for consideration on political grouuds, and that future communications urging favorable action upon the ground of the'r party affiliations, will receive no at tention. The business of the Government has so far this month indicated a large reduction in the public debt. The receipts to date have been $31,500,000, and the expenditures $20,600,000 leaving a surplus of over $10,000,000. The expenditures in cluded about $10,000,000 paid on ac count of pensions. Attorney General Garlacd, Ex Governor Hoadley and Senator Mor gan are all out of the way as candi dates for the Judship on the Supreme bench made vaeaut by the death of Justice Woods, but there is no shor tage of patriotic citizens whovcoald be persuaded to make the sacrifice of an acceptance. Speaker Carlisle, Judge Bettus of Alabama, Ex Congressman Hammondg, of Georgia. Senator Gibson and Thomas J. Semmesof Louisiana, W. c. Balliu ger and Judge Willis of Texas. J. Randolph Tucker of Virginia, Judge Jacksou of Tennessee, Secretary Bayard. S. W. Williams and M. M. Rose of Arkansas, areamong those whose claims are being urged for the position. The President is in no hurry to make this appointment, and when the fortunate man i3 an nounced it will most likely be a man who was not an- applicant for the place. The Treasury Department is en deavoring to find the owners of the watches, jewelery, weapons, &c. captured by the Union Armies and turned over to the Treaeury, the re turn of which hasbeen authorized' by Congress. The 'lot embraces a promiscuous '.collection of jewelry, uul ue 01 any creat value. This announcement however may enable some persons to recover family heirlooms to which great value la attached. get It is TUB STATE CAPITAL. ProhiblUon-JTcic Publication j- Closi ngr Exercises or Schools, Raleigh, May 28, 1887. I am glad to see that the ladies of Raleigh are takings an active part in the Prohibition movement They are organizing bands and meet in the churches of the city almost every week. The ladies did much to en courage Prohibition in the last cam paign, and, no doubt, with their usual energy, we will have Prohi bition another year, which I earnestly, hope will be the case. When the ladies start, they generally there," as the boys say. m. js. Amis, Esq., a prominent member ofthe Raleigh Bar, and author of a Criminal Code and Di gest, has just published a neat little book under the title of "The City of Raleigh. It contains a good many biographical sketches &c, and is a general guide to, business &c. certainly a good production. The closing exercises of the Raleteh Maie Academy will take place on I t . r uuue ou. r-ror. Hugh Morson and Capt. C. B. Denson are the Princi pals. Messrs. W. H. & H. s. Tucker & Co., dry goods merchants of this city, received an order last week from Hon. A. H. Garland, Attorney General of the United States. How is that for Raleigh and her mer chants ? The Board of. Aldermen have un der consideration the matter of erect ing public fountains at different places in the city. There w'll be six of them. They will make Raleigh more city-like. Still boomirg! The Southern tro jps at Washington are acquitting themselves finely in the drill. The North Carolina troops are also doing nicely and especially the Governor's Guards of Raleigh, Hurrah for the Raleigh boys ! The Primary Department of Peace Institute held its commencement Thursday night May 26. Tne merchanfs of Ralegh seem to be favoring the early closing plan during the coming summer and it is a step in the right direction. I see that the mccnants of other towns in this state and in other stales have adopted this plan and I think Raleigh should, do so too. The closing exercise- for this session of the Raleigh Giaded School took place Fdday May 27. This school is in a very prosperous condition under the guidance of Sup'. Moses and the exercises were very interesting in deed. Tkebuii. THE LATEST NEWS. The Prizes f warded. ' Washington. May 30.

Enthusiastic soldiers threw up their hats , and cheered while fair ladies waved their parasols and hand kerchiefs as the-companies in which they were particularly interested re ceived the awards. f Plendtsh Uusband. Chvttanooga, May 30. Mrs. Clara Emmons was discharged as cured fiom an insane asylum recently and returned to her home. Her husband had evidently forgotten all about her in her 5 years absence and was living with a beautiful young woman. His attempt to get Mrs. Emmons into the asylum failed and he killed her, telling the neighbors that she had died of a snake bite. The murder was discov- ered, however, and Ernmons left town just in time to esc?.pe being burned-at the slake. Ifhal Jflrs. Broien Though!. "Where have you been?" asked Mrs. Brown at the theatre of Mr. B., just out between the acts. "Oh, just out to see a man," replied Brown " "When did he die?" "When did who die?"

Inquiries at the leading hotel show that very few English persons and no Americans are missing. The wife and daughters of Gen. Merdeth Read had a very narrow escape.
