THROUGH DIXIE. SUMMARY OF SOUTHERK HEWS. happenings of Special Importance From Virginia to the Lona StarStat. NORTH CAROLINA. Joseph Lassifer, colored, was to hanged at Winston, Forsyth county, Wednesday, for murder, but Governor Fowle repriev ed him until July 17th. The Governor offered two hundred dollars reward for Amos Aston, who, on the 12th instant, in Yancey county, shot and instantly killed Ileury T. Lcdfurd. The comptroller of the currency ha! declared a fourth dividend -of 5 er cent, in favor of the creditors of the State National Bank of Raleigh, nut king in all 45 per cent, on claims proved, amounting to f.T.W,07L The bank failed March 27, 1888. Secretary Blaine, at the reruest of the Russian legation, recjuesU'd Governor Fowle to give him full partie.uJais of the death of Otto Levi, a Russian subject, who -was found dead in an outbuilding at Gastonia, in the early spriaig, last year. The Governor sent to Blaitw cert i fie jtes signed by the coroner and tother otliceis of Gaston county. There, is a new railway war tit .Durham. A large force of hands began tlie exten sion of the Richmond dc Danville side track along Pealody street. 3'he com missioners held :i meeting anl passed resolutions forbidding the road from, ex tending the track and the chief .of police was instructed to use the force to stop track-laying. The matter goes into the. ourts and adds to the complication. Dennis Simmons,, a rich and public spirited citizen of Camden county, has presented to the Thomasville orphan: g. $1,100 in cash. The Governor wrote him a letter, iu which he expressed his appre ciation of the act. The Governor was asked to set apait one day of the State Guard encampment, at Wrightsville, in Itpnor of the, Confed erate veterans. He atwmce complied with the request, and took stegs to secure a low rate of fare for the veterans. A test was made on the Italeigh & Gaston railroad, in the presence of a num ber of railroad men, of a process recently invented by Bay 1 us Cade, a Baptist preacher of Wake county, for telegraphing to and from moving trains. The current is maintai ned by means of a drag which is attached to the car, and which slides over a set of wires laid along the track. Messages were received at the o trices at Raleigh and Greensboro while the trait was running at the rate ofUhirtymiilcs.au hour. SOUTH CAROLINA. The annual convention of the South Carolina teachers will jneet in Columbia on July 10. lUiduccd rates have been secured on all the railroads. John Bell llemveman, a former WouTord student and citizen of Sjnirtanburg, re ceived the degree of Ph. IX from, the university of Leipaic, Germany. A sad accident occurred" on "MeBee Avenue, Greenville. Ida G arret, a lit tle girl of cleveu year, was drowned in the public well. She was ui the act of lowering the bucket when the steeple to which the bucket wasattached pave way. The rope caught .ind jorked her into the well. When the body was recovered life was extinct. Andy Caldwell, a negro who commit ted a criminal assault on a lady from Rockton vicinity. While going to Colum bia under guard was mken 'from the train at Rockton and shot dead by a crowd. Caldwell's crime, was of a par ticular shocking character. While the hellish act was being i?rpct rated by him, a daughter of' the lady attempted to save her mother by discharging a load from a double barrel shot gi;a at the negro's head. The cap suappt d, and the licnd ish rurlian sprang up, wrenched the gut. from the girl's bauds, and shot her in the thigh. A runaway marriayro attended with very unusual results took place in Aiken county a few days ago. The parties w ent to a minister on Sunday and were duly married. Repaiiing then to th6 home of the groom, they proceeded to spend their' houeymooL or a part of it. They were very happy uutil yesterday, when the mother of the bride put in an appearance, armed with legal japers and a six shooter. The pa pocs were needless, the presentation of the pistol briugiug the parties promptly to terms. The irf dignant mother tink her daughter into the buggy and drove her to the paternal roof where she now is. On leavin" the groom's home, the old lady fired a volley m honor of her victory. The girl is H years old. The affair is a decided sen sation in the neighborhood. Tiar.miA. The convention of General Southera Passngcr Agents met at Monroe. All prominent Southern roads were repre sented. Za.hariah McDaniel, the oldest citizen of Rockingham county, and a pensioner of the war of. 1812, died near Elkton aged 102. 1 While a passe nsrer train was passing Joseph Smith at Myers Cave Station, on. the Shenandoah Valley Railroad, he threw a rock at it, which rebounded with great force against his head, killing him instantly. Moore, Harness & Co., of Cincinnati. have made a contract for the establish jnent of their stove foundry works at Radford, on the line of the Norfolk and Western Railroad, to be completed by September 1. The reason assigned for removal is the lower cost of iron and the favorable transportation facilities offered. Three or four hundred persons wit nessed a six-round three-ounce glove contest between Prof. Marcellus Baker, 6f Boston, and Harry Kecnan, of Balti more, both light weights, in the Rich mond Theatre. The fight was for a purse of $200 and the surplus gate money. The referee decided the contest a' draw, with points in favor of Baker. A colored girl noticed a horse's head in the water of Cow's creek, two miles from Gloucester Courthouse. Investiga tion showed that the horse was attached to a mail wagon, and near by was tbe drowned body of P. G. Shawn, mail Car rier between Gloucester and Matthews. Of the four mail bags known to have been1 in the wagon, one was missing. Shawn was in the habit of watering his horses at Cow's creek, and the accident was probably due to the water being deeper than usual. TENNESSEE. The commencement exercises of Van derbilt University were held at Nashville. Diplomas were awarded to thirty-eight students. Addresses were delivered by Bishop Hargrove, president of the board of trustees, and Chancellor Garland. All the mail that left the NashvilV postoflice for the south on the night o' May 7th has disappeared. The fact has been withheld by the postoffice officials that the investigation might not be hampered. This mail was arranged aa usual, put in a pouch, locked up, and de livered at the door of the postollice foi the driver of the wagon which carries th-1 mail to the depot. The pouch was locked up in this wagon, which drove off toward the depot, and that is the last heard of it as yet, the detectives having been unable to trace it further. It is impossible now to learn how much money was in th mail. It was destined for a large an; important territory and the presumption is that the pouch contained much valu able matter. GEORGIA. John R. Lewis was appointed pose master at Atlanta. Thieves broke into the postoffice i Waycross, Ga., Tuesday night ancJ robbed the safe of $1,200 and. thirtecD registered mail packages. Tom Copeland and Ben Copeland, both young wrhite men, were arrested in Har ris county, charged with illicit distilling They were taken to Macon. Israel Putnam, a great-gianclson of the Revolutionary patriot, died Sunday at Atlanta, aged .57. MrPutnam was born in Georgia, and was a man of high char acter. Eighteen negro gamblers were arrested by Sheriff Henderson and a posse of citi zens at Watertown Mill, five miles from Waycross;' They were tried, convicted and sentenced each to 12 months impris onment. FLORIDA. First Lieutenant, 0. M. Carter, en gineer officer, who has been charged in the newspapers with improper complicity with contractors in connection with the river and harbor improvements in hi; charge in Georgia, Florida, and otlK southeastern states, has been ordered frot Savannah to Fort Clinch, Fla. At this point an official investigation of charges will begin under the direction of In spector General Hughes, who recently came south from New York. A heavy rain stortti prevailed at Jack sonville for thirty-six hours, aeeompt nied a portion of the time by a gale wind. Reports from the interior of th' state indicate that the storm h:is don more or less damage in several localities. A Sanford special says: ''A terrific south west gale and heavy rain has prevailed At Lake May, six miles west of here, a tornado cut a track 100 feet wide, bear ing down forest trees before it, and com pletely demolishing W. I). McCracker's large orange-packing house." Reports from Tampa say that- the track of the South Florida Railroad is submerged in many places, with several bad washouts. The gale tore off the upper deck .of the steamer II. B. Plant at Blue Springs, on the St. John's River. OTHER STATES. I One block of Nashville, Ark., incbid ing twenty buildings, was burned Satur day. Loss $20,000. The postotfiee was burned but most of the mail matter wa saved. Jefferson Davis received numerous tele grams of congratulatio s from European countries on the occasion of his birthday, all of whic h have ba n replied to by let ter by Miss Winnie Davis. John Williams was shot and fatally wounded on Sunday at Emerv church, ten miles east of Sard is. Miss., by Mrs Hattie Campbell. The shooting occurred immediately after the religious services, and Williams diet! the following morn ing. The provocation for the killing was the charge made by Williems that be had been intimate with 31 rs Caraplxdi several months ago, ujnm which state ment a bill for divorce is now finding. At Winona. Miss., the last pike was driven in the Georgia Pacific railroad, one of the leaseiljincs of the Richmond and Danville railroad company, thus mak ing one continuous line of " 1.110 miles from Washington, D. C, to Greenville, Miss,, vi3 Lynchburg, Anniston. Birming ham. Columbus, Miss., and West Point. The Georgia Pacific has secured the use of the existing track of the Louisville, New Orleans and Texas railway, and thus secures connection with the 3Iissouri Pacific system. Mrs. Margaret Oliphant is one of t! most indefatigable of living writers. IMPROVE THE WATER-WAYS. The South has been blessed Ty catttrr with a splendid seacoast and with num bcrless rivers, large and small, penetrat ing eery part of this section. The value of these water-ways for transportation purposes, not counting their other ad vantages, is even now beyond estimate, but their future worth when more fully improved, so that their traffic will be un impeded, is destined to le greater than can be fully appreciated. One of tb most vitally imjortant lines of work which the people of the South must taka up in earnest is the deepening of their harbors and the improvement of their rivers. There are now several great En terprises of this character, such as jthc work on the Muscle Shoals Canal of the Tennessee river, which is destined to al most revolutionize the freight traffic! of the central South, and the building! of harbors at Aransas Pass, and at the mouth of the Brazos river in Te.xas. These must be followed by others of equal magnitude. The rivers that jeuetrate the interior must, wherever it is practicable, be im proved on a scale commensurate with their importance as possible freight car riers. The South is destined to have an enormous freight traffic from its iron and steel industries, its coal mines, its Ihm- oer mills, its cotton and other factories, vesides its great quantity of agriculture! products. Its foreign and coastw ise ship ping interests within ten, or even with five years, will be sufficient to greatly Ule velop the ports on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, and provision must be made (:i deep harbors and unobstructed rivers The value of water-ways was recently very strongly shown before a parliament kry committee of investigation as to tho recessity for a proposed c anal, when a witness from Germany testified tha "through a comprehensive system c.i canals Germany had so cheapened lie, transportation of coal that she could ever, now export coal to England and under sell English mine owners in their own markets.'' In seeking to secure hiv freight rate for the products of their furnaces and mines Southern business men must stud the possibilities of improving their water ways. The Manufacturers' Record lu ' r many years uged, and insisted that more active steps should be taken to secure government aid on a liberal scale for this work. With an overflowing treasury, in ternal improvements, 'which can only be made by the national government, -and which would prove of incalculable value to all sections by reducing the cost of transportation, are rieglected because of a nistaken idea as to the great work of river and harbor improvements. This and the building up of our merchant marine, are two of the most important matters that can now claim the attention of the Amer ican people, and in both the South is probably more deeply and directly inter ested than any other svetion. Mtnunc- turers ltecord. North Carolina Gold Find. The story of the discovery of gold IS North Carolina is somewhat curious. Near the close of the last century the. child of a poor settler, while roaming along the banks of a small stream, dis covered a bright yellow stone, which, with the help of his playmates, he picked up and brought home to his father. The old man, who had evidently no knowl edge of the appearance of gold in its na tive state, saw nothing particularly re markable in the stone, but not to disap point the child bade him place it near the cabin door, which' it would serve to keep open or shut at pleasure. As the stone was quite heavy; weighing nearly fifteen pounds, it wits found of considerable use tor that purpose. Several years elapsed before any one thought of the stone's l)cing possibly a mineral of any value, although the owner often shewed it to his neighbors, bidding them mark its unusual weight. Finally he was induced by some one to take it to a goldsmith in the neighboring town of Fayetteville, who upon testing it at once pronounced it to be gold. So simple, however, and so ignoraut of the value of the precious metal was the old farmer, that he even then allowed the dishonest goldsmith to buy the nugget of him for the paltry sum of $1. Its true value was ascertained to Ik- not less than $!,0oo. and the locality iu which it was found goon lecame a ric h field for gold-hunters. This is claimed to have been the first dis covery of gold ever made in the United States. Honorary Degrees. Lexington. Ya.

On entering Buenos Ayres from tiie pier one can hardly realize that it is the chief city of South America, and one of the most flourishing places in the world. The streets are narrow and badly paved, holes several feet deep being not uncommon, and the houses are mostly only ground floor; some have one upper story, but very few have two. However, it im proves on nearer acquaintance. The streets, though not wide, are straight and uniform, and far better than those of Se ville, Cadiz, and a great many other im portant European cities, and between the shanties which still exist in many of the principal-streets are edifices which would not disgrace the best parts of London or Paris. Indeed, several well-known Eng lish and French firms have branch estab lishments here quite equal in style to their head ofiices. Buenos Ayres is the most European-lookiDg city of South America, yet it is far from !eing English in ap pearance; I should rather describe it as 'Mediterranean," though it would be dif cult to say whether it is more Spanish, Provencal, or Italian. The great major ity of the working classes arc Italians, and the inscriptions on all the shops near the water are in that language. But on ad vancing into the town, one hears quite as much English, German and French spoken as Spanish or Italian ; and English book sellers, German Ilicrhallen and French hotels abound. The restaurants are al most all French, from establishment equal to the bent on tho Paris boulevards down to estamincts, whose c hief delicacies are sauerkraut and Rnailn. Every nation's tastes are consulted. The ilarseillaise can get bouillabaisse, the Neapolitan ravioli and macaroni, made and cooked by hi fellow-countrymen, and an' Englishman has a letter chance of a good cut of roast beef than .he would have in many Euro pean town. Ismism His. Hetohoars as Fruit Gatherers. Gathering fruit-can scarcely lie called trapping, and yet there ii a traUtcrni attributed to that "walking bunch of toothpick' c-alled the hedgehog which may properly have a place in that cate gory. It e-m that fruit U frequently found in the hedgeho2s sleeping apart ment, and its jre-nce there i- explained in this remarkable way. It is known that 1 hedgehogs often climb wall. and run off upon low boughs, and, instead of scramb ling down in the same manner, they boldly make the leap from the top to the ground, sometimes ten or twelve feet. They coil into lall 13 the air, strike ufon tneir armor ot pt3e. ana iuna away unharmed.
