Scenes and Incidents in the Temple of Justice. Judge Timberlake is hustling things along pretty lively in the court room, In more than one instance when the lawyers interested in cases called were absent from the court room the judge has directed the solicitor to proceed, saying: "The court cannot wait on lawyers; it is their business to be on hand." And this is right. Too much time is squandered at every term of court in waiting to send out for law yers, clients and witnesses. An original character was on the stand yesterday afternoon who'created a good deal of merriment. The Bolic itor found trouble in questioning him. He would frequently ask the solicitor questions. His Honor took a hand and tried to keep the old man on the track. He told the judge: "You fel lers trust look over me. 1 was never in court before. I am fifty-two years old and was never in court before. You must look over me." The judge "looked over him" and asked the sheriff to lead him out. The sessions of the court so far, are well attended and at all times there has been a sprinkling of fairly intelli gent looking white men present, but judging from the number of colored men called in by the sheriff as talis- men, many of these white men are not competent to serve on the jury. ARE COMINQ BACK. Stated on Positive Authority That Populist Are Returning. A gentleman whose word cannot be disputed, Mr. E. S. Simmons, is in the city and speaking of the political out look" he says the indications are favor able for great democratic gains this year down east. Mr. Simmons attended the democratic convention for Frank lin county last Saturday and says that he heard several populists, or rather forrrer populists, publicly claim that they were going, this year and here after, to vote and affiliate with the democratic party. This is straight news and reliable news. A (Jhatnam county gentleman who spent last night in the city, says the same is true in Chatham. It is not claimed they have already returned in "great numbers" but that some of the very best men, the thinking men, are returning and it is not reasonable to presume their influence will amount to naught. WILL BE ELEGANT. A New Gents Furnishing Store to be Opened Here. Mr. S. J. Kaufmann will, on or about the 15th or 20th of September, open a gents' furnishing store in the corner store room at the Benbow, for merly occupied by Ruben, the tailor. Mr. Kaufmann tells us the whole room will be remodelled and a solid French plate glass front put in. The work will be done at once, and in the meantime an elegant line of gents' furnishings will be selected and ready for the opening about the time of the above mentioned dates. It will be first-class in every respect. Mr. Kaufmann believes in printers' ink and proposes to talk to the people through the Telegram. Watch it. Hobson Goes to Santiago. By Wire to Thk Telegram. New York, Aug. 23 Lieutenant Hob son leaves for Santiago this afternoon on the-transport Seguarniaca for pur pose of superintending the raising of the Spanish ships.

Pittsburg, Aug. 23 Nine men were crushed to death and several injured by the caving in of a tunnell on the Big Four railway last night. Praise for Greensboro. A train carrying Battery E, Sixth artillery passed through last, night enroute from Tampa co Washington. The boys said Greensboro was the best looking town they had seen in sometime. The train stopped here a short while for orders and water, and some of the boys took advantage of the opportunity to tank up on beer. I have just received a large ship ment of the celebrated JEta& Lithia Water. My sales are increasing daily and I hear nothing but the strongest words of praise from my customers. There is no better mineral water on the market. 25 cents a gallon and 3 cents a glass, cold. R. P. Goad, Agent, Gardner's drug store. Smoke "Sweet Violet," 5c each, at Lindau's. PREPARING TO DISBAND. Regiments Ordered to Leave Chlcamauga Camp. ONE REGIMENT TO BE LEFT THERE The Insurgents Continue to Attack The Spanish Blanco to Resume An Offensive Attitude. By Wire to Thi Tklbqbam. Washington, Aug. 23 Preparations for disbanding are progressing rapid ly. The third corps, comprising the Eighth and Fourteenth New York, the First and Second Kentucky, the First Mississippi, the First and Fifth Mis souri, the Second Nebraska and the Third Tennessee have been ordered to leave Chickamauga for Huntsville, Ala., without delay. The plan of the department leaves one regiment at Chickamauga under Colonel Bent to guard Chicaumauga poperty. The order assigning troops for disbandment is in course of prepa ration. The number disbanded will be about one hundred thousand. Plans are being prepared for a new torpedo boat station at Boston. An other station will shortly be estab lished at Pensacola. CONTINUE TO ATTACK SPANISH. Madrid, August 23 At the cabinet council last night General Co rrea read a cable from General Blanco saying that the Cuban insurgents were contin uing their attack on the Spanish. The council instructed General Correa to wire General Blanco to resume an of fensive attitude towards the insurgents only. Jaudenes cables from Manila that the Americans have monopolized ev ery available housing place and the Spanish soldiers are being compelled to sleep in churches and necessarily great overcrowding is resulting. From this cause there is fear of an epidemic of jaundice. The despatch describes the men as literally lying in heaps. TROOPS LEAVE TAMPA. Permanent Camp will be Established to Acclimate Soldiers. Tampa, Aug. 22 The . last of artil lery stationed here to await transport to Cuba or Porto Rico departed this morning for Fort Trumbull, and Tam pa is now without troops of any kind, except a few men in hospitals and 300 army teamsters and wagon train at tendants. The site of Camp Rogers, the artil lery camp, has been selected for a per manent military training post to get soldiers acclimated for the service in Cuba. The government has already estab lished a system of water works at the camp, having invested several thous and dollars in a plant, and it is said to be the intention to keep at least two regiments here at all time, getting them in condition to be carried to Cu ba for garrison duty. Permanent bar racks will be erected and everything for comfort will be provided. Schley is Improving. By Wire to The Telegram.

Ewart, Mich., is just recovering from the excitement caused by the appear ance in that town of a large rat the only one ever seen or heard of in the vicinity within the memory of the old est inhabitant. J7he rodent was re ported to be lurking in the vicinity of a rolling mill. A. vigiience committee was immediately organized and the quarry was run down and killed. A correspondent of the New York Press says: People never speak of their sight; it is always eyesight. If that is correct, then why not ear-hearing? The Press replies: Because there are various kinds of sight, and they must be distinguishable. Tnere are hindsight, foresight, foresight, first sight, second sight, damnsight, after sight, at sight, front sight, on sight, etc. NOTES FROM HIGH POINT.
