Creasy, D D., at Cen tenary church last night, said it was not to be a sermon, but he would read from Psalm 94:20 as a basis of his ad dress: "Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which fram- eth mischief by a law?" He said, in Dart, if there is a throne of iniquity it is the liquor traffic There come times when law is in league with the devil, but such has no fellow ship with'God. The business is screened by law. and boasts of the fact. But the business is not so respectable as formerly. It is also' true that the amount of liquors consumed is not so much per capita as formerly. The greatest amount of the stronger liquor consumed was about the year 1863, since that a decline; but an Increase in the amount of wines until about the year 1878. Since that a decline, but an increase in the amount of beer un til last year, when this seems to have reached its height. Never was a time when it was brighter for temperance He referred to the' sweeping victory for temperance in Canada. Prohibi tion law is all right; the bible is full of it. Besides, we kill mad dogs and snakes, restrain men from doing other things which injure men; why not de stroy the saloon? We should, and no man can justly claim that his rights are interfered with. Temperance peo ple should not stop short of total pro hibition But from extensive travel in South Carolina the speaker was convinced that the dispensary is many times better than the open saloon and is the next best thing to prohibition He will move the saloon every time he can. if it is only across the street he will do it, and keep it moving As a medicine, n- thing has been more abused. It is good for cold or heat, they say, and everything else known toman. It helps one.in twenty as a medicine, but injures or kills the other nineteen. The W. C. T. U. is a noble band of workers. The Purity Department is an important one; also the flower mis sion. But one of the greatest benefits we derive from their work is the influ ence on legislation, lhe white-rib- boners are not afraid of temperance legislation, not afraid to agitate. They have done more to get temper ance legislation than all others com- bi ned . The speaker paid a glowing tribute to noble Miss i ranees Wulard and her great work. It was through her influence that one Sunday School les son each quarter is a temperance les son, she having furnishedx the Scrip tural passages for them for seven vears. But the greatest work the W. C. T. U. dres is in the home. They teach that wine and other intoxicants should not be used socially or for cooking purposes Why, some people think they can't make a pie without putting brandy in it. Many a young man has taken his first tep to ruin by getting the taste of alcohol at his mother's hand. ATTEMPT AT JAIL DELIVERY. Forger Link at The Bottom of The Plot. An almost succ ssful attempt to es cape from Guilford county jail was made last night. Teven white men were confined in the front cell on the third floor and six of them at least had planned to escape last night With three small iron says they severed five of the heavy bars at the window on the west side of the cell. The cutting of one more bar would have made an opening sufficiently large for a man to slip through, but failing to complete the work before morning the cut bars were tied back and the cracks covered with soap. One of the pris oners refused to take part and this morning slipped a note to Jailer Reese informing him of the attempt. The prisoners were at once removed to the cell below and hereafter will be more closely watched. It is almost certain that Link, the forger, is at the bottom of the plot. It has been learned that his brother bought the saws of the Greensboro Hardware Co. and slipped them to him in the court house. None of the prison ... -i , . i i ers win say a wora aoout meir piou. When not in use the saws were con cealed in an old broom in the cell. The flan from Maine. The Murray-Hartt Company closed their week's engagement Saturday night, with one of their very best bills The Man from Maine." A fair sized audience was present to witness the play. No doubt the company did a losing business here, but it was through no fault of theirs. They are a clever aggregation, and should have had bet ter houses.

Americans no Longer Pay Attention to the Enemy Unless In Large Force The Line Quiet. By Cable To Thi Tbumbak. Manna, J?eb. 27. Except an occa sional volley or some individual fir ing by - single rebels, alone the river and in the vicinity of San Pedro and Macatl, there was quiet along the en tire line last night. The sharp shooters at Caloocan con tinue to annoy the soldiers tn the day time, but the Americans no longer pay much attention to them, reserving their fire until the rebels appear in the open in sufficient force to justify a volley or an occasional shell. Absolute quiet prevails at Manila. Two commissioners who returned from Malolos under a flag of truce today report eight thousand rebels there anxious to surrender. They also ex press the belief that Aguinaldo is in clined to accept pacific overtures. Gen. Otis did not receive the com missioners. TOUR OF THE SOUTH. New England Newspaper flea Will Visit Dixieland. We have received newspapers from the general manager of the New Eng land Newspaper League, containing the first announcement of a contem plated tour of the South by represent atives of the eleven papers forming the league. Below we give some extracts from the announcement, and refer it to our citizens for their con sideration: On Saturday, March 4, there will leave Boston, bound south, a corps of joint staff representatives of the New England Newspaper League, which has been organized for the pur pose of sending an able and compe tent staff of writers, sketch artists and business representatives on a tour of inspection through the south. The object The purpose of this V ur of Divie by a corps of joint staff rep resentatives of eleven wide awake New England dailies is to show to the peo ple of New England the advancement, unbounded resources and material progress of the south during the past few years, and by a careful compila tion of facts and figures, show its ex act condition as it is today. It is in the line of progress. It means that New England proposes to shake hands with the south and ask in the friend liest sort of manner, "How d'ye do?', Members of the party will send back for simultaneous publication in all the papers of this league daily letters out lining the movements of the party and general observations,giving a detailed account of their receptions at various points and other information which will prove of general interest to the hundreds of thousands who will watch the tour from day to day. Immediately after the return of this party, a special southern edition, con sisting of probably twenty-four pages, will be issued by all the papers of the league. This edition will be by far the most elaborate on the south ever attempted by any newspaper. This tour of the south will be under the personal direction and manage ment of Mr. C F. King, a journalist of reputation and recognized ability. He is a native of North Carolina, and numbers among his personal friends prominent people in all parts of the south, and he is an enthusiastic be liever in the present and future great ness of Dixie. In Oreat Demand. The demand for the cravats made by the Rufus Waterhouse Co. has been so great this season that the concern has found it impossible to keep up the varieties. Mr. Charles Brown, the manager, has been ouying suits in this country, but he finds that he cannot secure real snappy novelties In suffi cient quantities to keep up the reputa tion of the house. For the purpose of filling this void Mr. Brown has sailed for Europe. He will go through Lon don, Paris, Vienna, Berlin, Buda pesth, Macclesfield, Crefeld, Zurich, and other silk producing centres, and as fast as he picks out new silk they will be shipped and put into the spring line. Mr. Brown will also buy large ly for next fall's business, and ex pects to spend five or six weeks look incr over the new colors, combinations and suggestions that are made by the leading weavers of fine cravatlngs.

Hinkle, on Julian street, Saturday night and helped themselves to about a half-sack of flour, . two pounds of coffee and two cans of corn. The thief or thieves gained entrance through a window which was not fastened down. Officer Soott searched the house of a Sarty who was under suspician, but id not find the stolen goods. a horrible Crime. Cass of Infanticide Discovered Satur day Afternoon. One of the most horrible murders ever to go on record tn Greensboro Is a case of infanticide which was dig covered Saturday afternoon when Mor ris Morrow, a colored man, found in a branch which croases West Market street near the A. & Y. railroad the body of a female white infant. The throat was cut from ear to ear and cotton batting placed over the wound to prevent the show of blood. The body was wrapped la woman's night gown; then in a cook apron, and then dropped into a heavy coffee sack. Morrow" reported the matter to Officer Pearce who with Coroner Turner went to the scene and brought the body to the Mayor's office' Where an inauest was held. Dr. Turner took out the lungs to ascertain whether or not the infant had lived after birth. The lungs floated, which Is a certain indi cation that it was born alive. As no thing could be learned except from Morrow, the jury adjourned until 5 o'clock this afternoon. Dr. Turner says the infant had been in the branch not more than thirty-eight hours. The police have been working energetically since the crime was discovered tout as yet have no clue. The body was prob ably taken there front some other part of tha city or possibly from some other town. It was so securely wrapped that no blood could escape to leave a track. Chief ROiays be will spare no time nor m ney ID bring the guilty mother and her agents to the bar of justice.

Ewart Will Not be Confirmed, and Senator Prltchard flay be Ap pointed In His Stead. BpeeUl to the Telegram. Washington, Feb. 27 The river and harbor bill i6 again in the house of rep resentatlves, where the efforts of the southern congressmen will now be di rected to the retaining of the provis ions in the bill in which the section is vitally interested. The senate has added amendments of local importance to North Carolina. South Carolina. Virginia, Georgia, Florida, and other southern states. Although the mem bers of the state delegation in congress have worked hard to secure the few local items accorded to North Caro lina, and will continne their efforts until the bill is finally disposed of, there is great danger that some of the items added by the senate may be re jected by the conference committee. The members from the house, however, are hopeful that at least some of the items may go through, and that some of them will be in the final draft of the bill as it goes to the president. The river and harbor bill has not yet come up in the house, but will doubt less be taken up some time during the afternoon, when efforts will be made to concur in the Nicaraguan canal amendment. This is likely, however, to be unsuccessful, and the chances are that the bill will be referred to the committee on rivers and harbors, and later sent to conference. If-this course is followed, it cannot be stated when the bill is likely to reach the final stage, as it all depends upon the amount of time consumed over the Nicaraguan amendment. Members of the house say that as soon as some agreement is reached on the construc tion of the canal, that a speedy agree ment will be reached on other items added by the senate. The vote in the senate on the passage of the river and harbor bill will carry much weight, as it showed an over whelming majority, there being but three -votes cast in opposition on an aye and nay vote. Several of the senators who oppose the canal either voter for the bill in the hope that the proposition would be eliminated by the conference committee, or else they refrained from voting. Ameog the prominent ladies, in Washington attending the session of the Daughters of the AmericanRevolu tion, is Mrs. Stonewall Jackson. She has been quite constant in her attend ance upon the convention, and has evinced much interest. She is repre senting the Mecklenburg, Virginia Chapter, and the other day was escor ted to the pltform by one of the south ern delegates, and introduced, being accorded hearty applause by the ladies. Tonight a reception will be given in honor of Mrs. Jackson, and will be attended by the North Caroli na delegates, and also by many mem bers of the North Carolina circle in Washington. As it is practically certain that Judge Ewart will not be confirmed, speculation is again turning as to the probable judge. Senator Pritchard's name is again mentioned, and al though it Is declared that he would not take the appointment, there are many who say that he would, if it is tendered him. If the nomination of Judge Ewart is not acted upon by the Senate, and it is hung up, it is believed by many that the President would again ap point him during the recess of Con gress, and send his name to the Senate again next session. On the evening of March 3rd, the ladies of the North Carolina Society of this city will hold one of their de lightful receptions. A large number of invitations has been issued, and it is expected several of the delegation in Congress will attend, provided their congressional duties do not prevent them. The reception will be held at the Confederate Veterans' Hall. Ella C. Peace has received her com mission as postmaster at Oxford, N. C. This is a presidential office. Postmasters have also been commis sioned in North Carolina as follows: Nency W. Thorne, Mill Spring; Aaron Furr, Bloomington; Virgil V. Shipman, Grange; Jacob Eller, Hel ton; Bettie A. Russell, Springle. Mr. G. E. French and Mrs. S. B. Kev. of Statesville. N. C, are at the St. James Hote1. "Popular" is the name 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 sizes. Cure a Cold In One Day. Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tab lets.

Editor Telegram The future growth of Greensboro is more hopeful than any city in the state. Its location easily makes it thus. Commerce and manufacture never err in locating fa cilities for transportation. But the interests of the city and county are reciprocal. Have you ever seen a prosperous and live city hedged in by a country of poor homes? -The mutual growth of the two naturally demands facilities to promote their development. Nothing has conspired to serve this purpose more than permanent road improvement. This is no sentiment, it is a condition. It has been tried. In a conversation with Capt. Mc- Mackin, the engineer for Raleigh and wake county, eaid he: "A farmer living one mile from one of my maca dam roads, was using three teams with three horses each in carrying wood from his farm to my stone road There the farmer had one team of two horses drawing to town, at one load, the loads of the other three teams. Think of it! The tractive force of nine horses in the mud overcome by two horses on a metal road. The farmer referred to above said that he would give one hundred dol lars for permanent road extension The work has never been abandoned wherever it has begun. Next Monday the county commissioners will be asked to take steps for permanent road im provement in Guilford county. The permanent improvement contemplates macadamizing a road from Greens boro to Pomona. This road is an im portant public road, alike to the city and the county. No enterprise connected with the duties of the commissioners shouid re ceive more special consideration. Every consideration demands action. The good work should begin. It is a paying investment. It has been' proven so in every locality where it has been tried. Public sentiment has endorsed it. Taxpavyers have en dorsed it, The people need it. ' It is a thing of constant and permanent use. It gives satisfaction because it demon strates its utility . Citizen. THE MARKETS. Closing Quotations by Paine, Mur phy & Co. By private wire to F. A. Burgin, Manager.
