Connor, speaker of the house of representatives, delivered an address at the Civic Celebration, held on Washington's birthday under the auspices of the Trinity College Histor ical Society. His subject was "A Saner and Better Citizenship." Judge Connor is a man- who has studied social questions, and his address was full of good advice and sound wisdom. His address was of great interest to a arge audience consisting of residents of the Park and visitors from the city. The third of the series of Historical Publications is just from the press. It consists of papers prepared under the direction of the Historical Society. The South Carolina papers an nounce that the literary address at the commencement of Wofford College is to be delivered by President Kilgo. Rev. C. F. Siler, pastor ol Trinity church, Charlotte, has arrived atthe Park. He comes at the invitation of the College Y. M. C. A. to hold a scries of special religious services. H"n.

Hornaday read a paper by Mr. Richard Webb, on optical illusions. The tociety appointed a committee to advance the interests of the College Museum. THE PEOPLE ARE READY. And the Time Has Come For Real Road Improvement. Editor Telegram: People no longer doubt the value of metal roads. By metaled roads is meant stone covered roads. They, therefore, are not look ing for arguments to convince them of the pressing necessity for permanent road improvement. They want a road to show for the expenditure of money. The fact that Greensboro and the country have been separated by mud axle deep; people in the city cannot get wood and the farmers in the coun try cannot haul wood; and, when they bring a load, charge fifty per cent. more because of the mud; and this, too, in face of the fact that hundreds of dollars have been spent on the roads, is a most powerful appeal for perm nent improvement. The people are ready for stone cov ered roads. A fine opportunity for real action in this regard will soon be afforded the county commissioners. Let them not allow this opportunity for the cause to pass. A metal road twelve feet wide from Greensboro to Pomona is of the great est importance. It will cost only six hundred dollars more to build it twelve feet wide than nine feet wide. Since it is at the city it should not be leas than twelve feet. Anything less will be a mistake. A competent engineer at hand knows the cost. The best of material is also at hand; the convict labor is at hand; the time is now for real road building, and there is a place for beginning. Let us begin. Citiien. Charlotte People Lose. Senator Osborne asked the senate to relieve him of the mental strain he was enduring and not wait until next Tues day to settle the Charlotte dispensary matter, but to take it up and settle it last night. The request was granted and the bill was defeated by a vote of 31 to 12. Thus the will of the great moral element of Mecklenburg was slapped in the face because of one senator being bound by a pledge to barroom men.

The Telegram, on the 13rd, an nounced there was a rumor concerning a deal with reference to the A. & N. Railroad. It has developed that there was abundant grounds for the rumor as the following, from the Morning Post of this date shows : A bill will be introduced in the legis lature today providing for the sale of the state's interest In the Atlantio & North Carolina Railroad to Mr. W J. Edwards. Mr. Edwards agrees Ux pay $300,000 for the road. He further agrees to de posit $100,000'additional as a guaran tee that he will extend and' complete' tne roaa a distance 01 iw miles In the direction of Charlotte and- Salisbury Mr. Edwards is well known in the North Carolina railway world. He was for fourteen years with the Sea board Air Line and won promotion to the position - of chief disbursing agent under the- administration of Major John C. Winder. When seen: last night Mr. Edwards said: "The proposition is a bona fide one. We propose to take the road and build an independent line to Char lotte, ffp would open up a country that has a great future. -Associated with me is North Carolina and north ern capital. We have no connection whatever with any other railroad." The following is the bill: Section 1. That upon the payment to the state treasurer, for the use of the state of North Carolina, within ninety days after the ratification of this act, of the sum of three hundred thousand dollars (S300.000.00), the said state treasurer be and is hereby authorized and directed to sell, assign, transfer and deliver to W. J. Edwards and such others as may be associated with him, or his assigns, all the shares of the capital stock owned and held by the state of North Carolina, in its own name or in the name of any other person or persons for the use and benefit of the state, In the At lantic & North Carolina Railroad company. Sec. 2. That at the time of the said sale and transfer and before the de livery of said shares of stock, the said W J. Edwards f-hall enter into a con tract with the state of North-Carolina n a form thereof to be approved by the attorney general of the state, to construct and complete or cause to be constructed and completed, within four years from and after the ratification of this act, a line of standard gauged railroad at least one hundred miles in length, connecting with said Atlantic & North Carolina railroad and running westwardly through the coun ties of Wayne, Johnston, Harnett, Moore and Montgomery, and thence in the direction of Concord, Salisbury or Charlotte. Sec. 3. That at the time of executing the contract provided for in the next preceding section, the said W. J. Ed wards shall deposit with the state treasurer bonds or other valuable se curities to be approved by said state treasurer, of the market value of one hundred thousand dollars ( $100,000.00 ), as collateral security for the faithful performance of his a'oreeaid contract within the time therein limited, the condition of said contract to be that, if the said one hundred miles of rail road shall be completed within four years from the ratification of this act, then the said bonds or other security shall be surrendered and returned to the said W. J. Edwards, his associates or assigns, but that, if the said" one hundred miles of railroad shall not be bo completed, then the said deposit shall be forfeited to the state of North Carolina and shall tw converted into money and converted into the general funds of the state, it being distinctly understood that the advantages to ac crue to the state from the completion of said one hundred miles of road con stitutes a material inducement for the sale and transfer of the . aforesaid stock: Provided, however, that, until the deposit hereinbefore provided for shall become forfeited, the said W J. Edwards, his associates or assigns shall be entitled to collect and receive the nterest, dividends and profits accruing thereon. Couldn't Fill the Order. The Teleeram has been urging the establishment of more manufacturing iterprises. Take this case and loo it it: A gentleman, large furnilure dealer of Lynchburg, was in this city yesterday to purchase over three hun dred suits of furniture and over a thousand bed steads. It's a little humiliating to confess It; but the fur niture factory here couldn't fill the order and the gentleman went on to High Point. Let Greensboro get in shape to ac commodate all who come. WASHINGTON CITY NEWS. Opposition to Confirmation of An. other Judge. Special to Ths Tslbqram. . Washington, Feb. 25-tSome oppoai Vo" appears to be developing to the confirmation of Mr. Shelby, of Ala bama, nominated for the judgeship of the new southern circuit. Senator Bacon who was instrumental in seour ing the passage of the bill through the senate for the establishment of the new circuit court for' the states of Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas and Florida, is a member of the sen ate committee on judfriary, to which the nomination of Mr. Shelby has been referred. Senator Bacon was one of the most earnest supporters of Col. Glenn, of Georgia, who was en dorsed by the entire delegation, as well as democratic and republican newspapers of the state. Senator Bacon and other members of the Georgia delegation thought when the new circuit was established that Geor gia would be honored with the ap pointment. Although Senator Bacon intimated at the meeting of the judici ary committee the other day that he would oppose hasty action on the nomination, there has, so far as can be learned, transpired nothing upon which to base a belief that Shelby will be defeated, or that .the nomination will be hunp up in committee. As Col. Glenn, after the nomination of Shelby was sent to the senate, promptly telegraphed his congratulations to the successful candidate, And assured the latter of his warmest Irish for prompt confirmation, it is not perceived how the senators from Georgia could now consistently or successfully resist con firmation, even were they disposed to do 60. Moreover, those who know Judge Shelby regard him as fully qualified .for the be nob, and as a man of unlmpeached integrity and honor. As a lawyer his reputation is net con fined to the state of Alabama, but he is favorably known throughout the entire south. Several members of the judiciary committee say that they do not anticipate much trouble in getting a favorable report on the nomination. The members of the Virginia delega tion in the house have given up hope of securing the passage through the house this session of the bill for the relief of the Richmond Locomotive Company. Representative Lamb, of the Richmond district has on several occasions Bought " the consent of Speaker Reed to allow him to cli-ttp-klk .bill -nd-' ask unanimous consent for its passage, but the speak er has so far declined to yield. There are several claims pending in congress of interest to the southern states, but by the attitude of the republican ma jority in refusing them consideration, none of them will go through at this session no -, as the time is too limited. Yesterday was the last day whioh un der the rules of the house should have been devoted to bills on the private calendar, but the -day was consumed with the army appropriation bill, which is considered as being of more mportance than the payment of just and honest claims of the citizens of the south which have been pending in con gress, many of them, sinoe the close of the war of 1861. Some opposition is developing to the passage of the compromise on the army reorganization bill. In the sen ate several of the democrats say open ly that they do not like the bill, al though there does not seem to be any disposition as yet to delay its passage. n the house among the republicans there is also much opposition, princi pally among the republicans, who do not like what they call a back-down on the part of the president. Repre sentative Hull, of Iowa, although he ntroduced the substitute prepared, and will vote for it, admits privately that it is not framed according to his liking, and that if he had the matter n his hands the compromise would not have been made. M. B. Shrier and wife, of Greens boro, are at the Hotel Raleigh for a few days. Mr. Shrier is in the city on personal business. Among other North Carolina people n Washington are .Messrs. Ed. Latta and C. Manning, both of Charlotte. The former is stopping at the Ebbitt House and the latter is registered -at the St. James hotel.- Postmasters have been appointed in North Carolina as follows: Ascend, Chatham county, Wiley Goodwin; Brvant. Chatham county. R F. John son, Marble, Cherokee county, Jesse C.Anderson; Palmyra, Halifax county Samuel M. Alexander; Richardson, Bladen county, John Davis. "Popular" is the same of a line of ladies' oxfords made by the Hamilton Brown Shoe Co., and they are rightly named, for it is one of the most popu lar lines of low shoes in the country. They are sold in Greensboro by Th ack er & Brockmann, who now carry them in stock in a great variety of styles and sixes. No Cure No Pay.

British Cruiser Landed flen To Fight Fire Underwriter Refuse To Pay Losses at flanlla. By Cable To Thi Txlboram. Manila, Feb. 25 The arrest of 1,200 suspects since tho fire started and the extreme vigilance of the police is be lieved to have averted all danger of further Incendiarism at present. The main fire brigade of the British cruiser Narcissus was landed every night for tha protection of British banks. Underwriters refuse to pay losses from the fires here, claiming exemption by reason of the war clause in the policies. Four American soldiers were wound ed in last night's fighting in front of Caloaa, and one at San Pedro. Scat tering shots continue all along the line. The situation Is slightly improved, al hough the Chinese are still timor ous. "THE niSOQYNIST." This Splendid Comedy Was Repeated Last Night. A larger audience than on any night since Monday greeted the Murray- Hartt company at the academy of music last night, when, by special re quest they played "The Misogynist, or, A Woman Hater." A continuous roar of laughter throughout the entire performance at tested the high appreciation by the audience of the clever work of the characters in the play, every one of whom were perfectly suited to his, or her part. To make special mention of any certain one is not possible all were good. As on previous nights, Miss Mc- Cullough and Mr. Yost delighted those present with their singing, both responded to hearty encores. Tonight the company will present a four act farce comedy, entitled, "The Man from Maine." Mr. Murray promises a lively time, plenty of 'spice," and perfect satisfaction to all. This will close the engagement of this good company in our city. Give them a rousing send-off. PuIIIam Gives Bond. Mr. Lawrence P. MoLeod, of Ashe vllle, arrived at noon today to liber ate his'uncle, Lawrence Pulliam, who was brought here yesterday from Cal ifornia. He went immediately to Marshal Milikan's office and gave the bond of $5,000. Mrs. McLeod, Law rence Pulllam's sister and J. E. Ran kin, cashier of the Battery Park Bank, of Asheville, are mentioned as securi ties on the bond. The meeting at the jail was a sad one As soon as the cell door was opened the two men clasped hands and neither spoke for more than a minnte. They went to the Benbow to spend the afternoon and Pulliam donned a new suit of clothes which he brought with him from California. They will return to Asheville tonight. In Court Today. T. R. Link, alias Dunn, yesterday plead guilty of forgery, though he has not yet been sentenced. Joe Hanes plead guilty of forgery, and was sentenced to 4 months on the publio roads. Annie Wright, charged with writing libelous letters was found guilty and sentenced to 18 months in jail. A number of less important cases have been tried this afternoon. The grand jury made its report and was dismissed this morning. The Gibson -case having taken up two days the criminal docket will not be finished this week. Another New Dwelling. Mr. C. S. Watson, one of the best known and most successful shoe drum mers in the state, has purchased ?he lot between those- of G. Sam Brad shaw and R. W. Murray on Ashboro street, and will during the spring, erect a handsome residence thereon. This is one of the best locations In the city, in a splendid residence section, and Mr. Watson intends erecting a residence in keeping, if not superior to, those in that vicinity. Let the good work go on. The Man From flalne." The above is a very pleasing comedy lately written, by one of our cleverest New York dramatists and though it has not been written long enough to win recognition among the comedies of today, it bids fair to be one of the most popular of plays. It will be produced at the academy of music to night for the first time in the south. Come put and have a good laugh. Ladies admitted free. NOTES FROM HIGH POINT.
