If a few members of each regiment of Uncle Sam's negro immunes were left in camp, suspended from a lofty limb, the remainder of Uncle Sam's people could rest more at ease. One. of the black devils, who passed through here shortly after noon with part of the Eighth regiment, came nea- killing a young lady just before reaching this city. As the train passed Pomona, two miles west of here, one of the negroes on the train fired a gun or pistol at the residence of County Commissioner. W C. Boren. The ball went through a window and, striking an Iron-clock on the mantel, bounced back near the window. Miss Cammie Lindley was sitting just under the c ock and the ball passed only a few inches over her head. Mrs. Boren and two children were also in the room and some glass from the window fell on the former's head. Mr. Boren immediately 'phoned to town and asked that the authorties try to catch the guilty rascal but no po liceman could be found before the train left. CAPE FEAR MANUFACTURING. CO. nakteg Improvements and Increas ing Tbetr Capacity. The Cape Fear Manufacturing Com pany will begin tomorrow the con struction of a wo-story addition to their factory on Lewis street. The addition will be constructed where the office now stands and the office will be moved as far back as the- company can secure land. The addition will be a valuable and much needed one and will be completed within a week, when new machinery will be installed great ly increasing the capacity of the fac tory. Among the new machines will be one for 'sandpapering, the installa tion of which will coat the company not less than a thousand dollars. The Telegram is pleased to note such great improvements in a manufacturing plant and especially so when almost the entire output of a factory is used at home. As stated in the Telegram several days ago, the Cape Fear Com pany is now busy furnishing material for the construction of 237 new houses near Proximity. Greensboro-Winston Work on the long distance telephone line between,Greensboro and Winston was begun here Monday. General Manager C. E. Eg an, of the Interstate Telephone Company, is now at work with a large force of bands placing poles and stringing wire beyond the State Normal and Industrial College, and the work is being carried on swiftly. If the weather continues favorable Mr. Egan expects to com plete the line within three or four weeks, when a Greensboro ' hello 1" will be responded to from Winston, Mocksville, Salisbury and intermedi ate points. Mr. Egan informs us that immediately after the completion of the Greensboro-Winston line, the construction force will construct a line to Durham, thereby giving Greensboro telephonic connection with many towns in Eastern North Carolina. Paying for Separate Cars. The railroads of the state are play ing a "tit for tat" game with the trav eling public, who were so instrumental in securing the passage of the "Jim Crow Car Bill" in the legislature. Railroad companies are generally very successful in finding a way to re turn a compliment, and this time they have done so by raising the rate on excess baggage twenty-five per cent. The new rate went into effect on March 1st, without notice, we understand, to the traveling public. This raise will, of course, be felt more heavily by com mercial travelers, who were almost unanimous in the work of securing sep arate cars. Notice of Election. Notice is hereby given that at a meeting of the board of aldermen held on Monday, the 6th day of March, 1899, M. C. Workman was appointed registrar, and A. M. MeAdoo of the first ward, J. T.

PRESIDENT NOT YET DECIDED Whether He Will Again Re-appolnt Ewart Difficulties of The New Director of The Census. Special to Tkb Telbqrah. Washington, Mar. 8 Friends of Assistant General Attorney Boyd, of North Carolina say that he will not be appointed to succeed Judge Ewart. A gentleman from North Carolina who is acquainted with Col. Boyd, said that he did not thick the latter would be willing to leave the depart ment of justice at this time to assume the duties of the bench. Col. Boyd has been prominently mentioned for the judgeship, in the event that the president decides not to reappoint Judge Ewart, which according to the best information obtainable has not yet been definitely determined upon by the president. Senator Pritchard is anxious to have Ewart given another recess appointment, and he believes that the nomination would have been confirmed had it not been for the tac-- tlcs adopted by Senator Butler to de feat the taking of a vote. Judge Ewart's supporters claim that the pol icy adopted by Senator Butler, who talked the nomination to death, is a confession of weakness, and that had he adopted fair means that confirma tion would have followed. It is at least a confession that Senator But ler was very doubtful of the outcome, and did not place full faith in his own predictions that Judge Ewart would be defeated if a vote were taken, which statement the senator reitterated many times during the contest in the senate. It is not known, in view of the devel opments in the case what President Mc Kinley will do. It is said that he had, before the senate adjourned, made up his mind not to again reappoint Ewart but, if it can be 6hown conclusively that a majority of the'senate were fa vorable to confirmation, he may re consider this determination. Senator Hoar, and a majority of the judiciary committee are opposed to toe reap pointment of Judge Ewart during the recess, and may urge the president ac cordingly. The difficulties of the new director of the census have already begun. At the residence of the ex-governor on LaFaette square, it is stated that ap plications for positions, from the office of chief clerk down to the lowest grades, including even chair-women, have been received in innumerable numbers. The mail of Governor Mer- riam has, 6ince he was appointed and confirmed by the senate as superin tendent of the census, increased to vast proportions, and his communica tions already will number several hundred a day. If it keeps on the postoffice department will have to detail a special postman in the vacin ity of his residence. The new director has not yet begun to feel the pressure of importunities from congressmen in behalf of their constituents. None of the minor appointments to the clerical force in Washington will be made for several months. Among the applications received by Mr. Merriam are a large number from North Carolina, mostly from men who desire to be appointed as enumerators for the census, an army of which will be appointed in the state, as well as in all the states of the union. Congressman Thorp, of Virginia, who was defeated for re-election, has determined to move his residence from Boydton, Va., to Norfolk, Va. Mr. Thorp is a native of North Carolina, having graduated from Horner Acad emy, Oxford, North Carolina. He will open a law office at Norfolk. For eighteen years Mr. Thorp was com monwealth attorney for Mecklenburg county, and has attained quite a rep utation throughout Virginia in legal circles. Mrs. B. K. Gladmon, of this city, is visiting her son, Dr. Edwin Gladmon, at Southern Pines, North Carolina, where sbe will remain for several weeks.

The Telegram ti requested to print the following resolutions which - were passed at a mass meeting of tUe citi zens, held in thev mayor's hall on March' 6th: '", . - Whereas, there have gone out va rious reports in regard to ' smallpox scare in the town of Burlington, and whereas these reports are doing much to ruin the business of the town, and have been greatly exaggerated, and wild rumors have been scattered abroad which are beirg used by some people to injure our town by keeping the country people out of it is hereby. Resolved, 1st. That a plain state ment be made as to existing conditions which will show to the outside world that if there ever was a genuine case of smallpox in Burlington, there Is now no danger whatever or fear of its spreading. There. were only three suspected cases together with one sup posed to have had the smallpox. . The latter case proved fatal, but death was due to a complication of diseases. The three suspected are all out of danger, and are isolated and there is absolute ly no danger in people from the sur rounding country coming to town, and no fear need be apprehended in the future of its spreading Vand any one will be perfectly safe in coming to Burlington to transact their business. Resolved, 2nd, That there Is no ex citement in Burlington. Business is being transacted, and that those who are in a position to know apprehend no further development of the dis ease. Resolved, 3rd, That we condemn the various reports which have been cir culated through this and adjoining counties, by word of mouth and various newspapers, and that we, the people of Burlington, representing, as we do, every interest of said town and surrounding country, request that said newspapers retract and' correct these false and slanderous reports in their next issue, and ask that they do all within their power to reassure the peo ple that there has not been, nor is there now, any danger whatever In people coming to Burlington to trans act their business.

A Wreck. iThe Atlantic Coast Line is begin ning to use its new possession, the Atlantic & Yadkin, now, and extra trains are being run quite frequently.

This morning they were mourning the loss of two Pullman sleepers which were disabled in a wreck at Fayetteville last night. While being transferred from the A. C. L. to the A. & Y. one of the trucks of a sleeper jumped to the wrong side of a switch, placing the car on dif- erent tracks. The trucks were wrenched out of position and the cars otherwise badly damaged, though no one was hurt. A NATIVE TARHEEL. Walter H. Page to Speak at the State Normal College. Walter H.
