In Liverpool the temper of the trade continues bullish, based upon the strength cf the Ameri can market aad the absence of offer- lag from the South.

Ths easA of Shaffer versus Bledsoe aad other for possession of the old Bledsoe property, which bss been hsnglag fire la the eourtc for seversl years, reach' d a climax Friday, when Col. Shaffer .was put In possession of part of the property of the Bledcoe estate. At the recent term of Superior Court Shaffer won the case and Judge Coble issued him a wri of possession. On the property was a barn, which contained n largs amount f corn, fod der aed shocks. Mr. Bledsoe refused to move his supply of grsin, fodder, stc., so Sheriff Tags had Deputy J. T. Rowland to go to the properly, in the southern part of the city, and nail up ths door to the barn containing tbe sora and forage. Friday at 19 noon Mr. Rowland, with two drays and a force of men, went to the bsrn to remove the contents there of In order to turn the property over to Mr. Shaffer acooiding to decree of ourt. At the eutraoca to the lut Mr. How- land wa met by Mr. Bledsoe, bis young ton Moves and Madamolsaelle Smith, a lady of eolor, who possesses a woaderfol pair of Inngs and a com plete vocabulary of non-Sunday school words. Mr. Rowland was told that he would not be permitted to enter the confines of the eo-ted property. Mr. Rowlsnd wss not disconcerted in the least by such an haperatlia com mand, and with an "I don't think" expression on his countenance collect ed his force and proceeded to march on the forbidden ground. Mr. Bledsoe msde a eoontar move by eireling around Mr. Rowland and again forbid the officer of the law in vading the lot, Undaunted by the movements of the opposition forces, Mr. Rowlsnd tote open the door and began to fill up the drays with the products of a two-yes ' crop.

The corn and forage remained in the street until this morning, a prey to the hard blowing wind and those persons who are addicted to the habit of appropriating handy goods to the common welfare. This morning Mr. Bledsoe concluded with himself thst it would be better to remove tbe allur ing temptation from the road. On Saturday Mr. Bladsos sppeared before Sheriff Page and naked that he revoke the judgmcntof the conrt. The sheriff could aot see his way clear to do thla and the work went on uninter rupted. Col.

The Iron Hi met a re Oyer Mease Cov ered Bridge to be Replaced. For the past week loads of iron dressed in a red coat of paint have been passing through the city. The iron is tn be used in panning Neuse River on tbe Tool road leading eaat from tbe eity It was no email job to convey the beaiy material across the country by wagon, and it required an even 34 turns. The work of constructing tbe bridge commenced last week, and already the iron tubiuga which will support the structure proper, are in position. The iron work will eitend ISO feet; the approaches will be of wood. The work is done by the Convene Bridge Com pany, of Chataoooga. This is the same Company' which constructed tbe other iron bridges In the county. The County Commissioners met in special session Saturday. The call was issued by tbe Chairman of the Board, Mr. W. C. Stronnch. The meeting was railed for the pur pose of acting on the matter of replae log the old orabtree bridge, whieh has been condemned, with a new structure Very little doubt existed hot that tbe Board would put np new bridge, The matter for solution was whether it would be an iron or wcod atructure. Two iron bridge construction com. paniea had representatives present. They made bids to do the work for tl,700.01 and $1,650 The Commis sioners after Borne discussion, decided to order Mr. MoMackin to construct a ooden bridge similar to the one recently put up over crabtree. There is gieat diversity of opinion as tohe desirability of iron or wooden bridges. This question came up at the last meeting of the county Com missioners. The iron bridge men claim that the duration of a wooden bridge ill average five yet. re, and that they cost very near the same of wooden structures. The advocates of the wooden bridgs held in the meeting of the Board that ron bridges were proving unsatisfac tory in the North on account of cracks in the iron oaused principally by tbs variations of the weather, and that wooden bridges were again coming in to use. THK MISSING LINK. In the Descent or Man Brought to Light By tbe New York World. The New York World leads the world as a newspaper. TnefeTW scarcely an Issue of it that does not bring to light some new and start ling discovery in science or progress, The Sunday World announces the discovery at last if "the missing link" in the evolution system. A French scientist end explorer, M. d' Eojoy by name, has discovered on the Indo Chines Peninsula, a racetf sivages with well developed tails, and has reported tbe same to the French Geographical Society. He has met these people face to face and has seen tbe caudal appendage which he describes minutely in bis report. He discovered these people in the wilds of Cochin-China, or Annatu, ou the I'eninsula, where it is said that oivilized foot never trod before. He observed for himself their man-monkey habits and mode o existence, bow they climbed trees and ran about on all-fours like the ape tribe, but still they live in huts ike men. Tbe tail, though affirms M. d' Eojoy, m ucdoubtedly there, and thereby bangs a tail, to-wit the connecting liuk in the Darwinian theory. The World.gives a picture of a specimen of one of the males, and a seven column description of the discovery made by the scientist. It is very interesting and will at tract wide attention.

Mr. William Moacur. superlnten dent Central Division S. A. L., eame In Saturday sad sought a doctor Im mediately. The reason for this nun aual proceeding wa a long gash on the forehead which he had aostalned tbe night before while riding In a freight train caboose. As he got off the train here, the limping, painful step was little like his nsual stslwart stride; one eye was scarcely open and peeped cautiously from under a fore head beetling darkly with big, blaek conrt plaster. The aecident which eaosed all these misfortunes was quite a pcenliar oae. Hr. Moneure was out on on of his fre quent trips over his division. At the time the freight to whieh waa attached bis caboose waa whirling along at a lively rate. Mr. Monoore sat in tbe lookout, high up, ten or fifteen feet from the floor. Suddenly, without warning, there eame a crash. Mr Moneure felt himself whirled through mid air, and a second or so later got np, dated and bleeding, from the floor of the ear. In the fall his forshesd struck some sharp object and waa badly cut. There was no injury of a serious character and no other hurt, with tbe eiception of several painful bruises and a general shaking up. There wsa no bona lids rsilrosd sc. cident. It seems that the freight had parted, and in going down a grade tbe rear section overtook aud crashed vio lently into the first. Thus eame the shock whieh threw Mr. Moncnre from his perch.
