Charleston Will Have to Fight.
City of Mexico, via Galveston,
May 18 The Chilean steamer Itata is
sailing under difficulty, and the
United States war ship is gaining on
her. It is expected that the two ves
sels will reach Acapulco within a few
hoars of each other.
A BATTLE OK BAVAL MONSTERS
Sab Frahcisco, May 12 The defi
nitely ascertained fact Mint the
Chilean insurgent warship Esmeralda
is at the port of Acapulco, Mexico,
awaiting the arrival of the Itata, on
board of which is the Captain of the
Esmeralda, has excited renewed in
terest in the chase of the Itata from
the fact that it is believed these two
vessels would fight any United States
vessel that attempted to take the
Itata.
City of Mexico, May 12. The
Anglo American publishes rumors of
the sinking of the Itata by the United
States cruiser Charleston, but gives
neither time nor place.
Chilean Congressman Trum
bull Arretted.
Ricardo Trumbull, a member of the
Chilean Congress and partisan of the
Insurgent party, was arrested last
night by the United States Marshal
for violating the neutrality laws in
connection with the shipment of
arms and munitions of war, on the
schooner Robert and Minnie and on
the steamer Itata. His bail was fixed
at $15,000, and he was released with
John D. and Adolph Sp reck els as
sureties. Trumbull was arrested on
board the Oakland ferryboat and was
on his way to Washington. Ex.
Kights of Honor.
The Supreme Lodge, Knights of
Honor are in session this week at New
Orleans. Delegates are present from
nearly every state in the Union. Mr.
S. J. Pemberton, of Rockingham, is
the North Carolina representative.
European paupers are still being
shipped to this country by the cargo.
An American agent in Liverpool says
one hundred paupers are shipped
every week to the United States, and
the paupers are not so bad as the
criminals. Can't the thing be stop
ped ? Won't somebody stop it ?
Turn up Something.
As an exchange says, the man who,
in this progressive age, sits down and
waits for something to turn up or ap
pear to others for assistance while
he remains idle, will certainly fail to
accomplish anything. Ho will not
only fail in anything that may be
passing, but will Soften cause oth
ers to fail who deserved a better
fate. So it is with towns, cities and
communities. We must first arouse
ourselves to action putting not only
our hands but our pockets to work,
we must be ready to do whatever our
hands findeth to do, and if nothing
will turn up why then we must unite
our forces together and turn some
thing up.
The Ileal Estate Coaveution.
This body adjourned yesterdav af
ternoon subject to the call of the
President. That the convent lou has
been promotive of great good in the
line laid down, is beyond quest ion,
and we look for the best resolte to
follow. Supplementary to the pro
ceedinjrs of the body just adjourned
or rather a continuation cf the ob
jects sought, will be the convention
of the development and real estate
companies called to meet in Raleigh,
June 24th next. In this connection,
the resolution passed yesterday rela
tive to the matter i of much impor
tance, and slu uld n c ive the consid
ertion of our people to a large exteut.
It reads as follows :
Resolved, That we request the citi
zens of Raleigh to organize for the
proper reception and entertainment
of that body, which will be composed
of gentlemen from many Southern
states, and that the railroads be re
quested to issue special rates to this
important gatnering.
There can be no doubt, that a prop
er reception on the part of our people
will have a great effect towards the
promotion of the, objects to be at
tained. Let our citizens organize
for a most hearty reception. It will
animate the occasion and show to the
people of North Carolina that the
citizens of Raleigh are fully abreast
of the times in all that pertains to
the material welfare of our state.
Let us prepare at once to give the
coming convention a rousing recepo
tion. .

a card to the public.
Some six months ago we began the
publication of our reprint of the
famous Encyclopaedia Britannica in
25 Volumes, which we issed at $1.50
per volume. The price of the English
edition always has been and still is
$8.00 per volume, and the Scribner
editiou $5 00 per volume in the cheap
est binding.
That the public appreciate so great
a bargain is shown by the fact that
over half a million volumes of this
reprint have been sold in les than
six months.
This elegant new edition we still
offer at the same price, $1.50 per
volume. This is the greatest bargain
ever known in books.
Better still, we will deliver the set
complete on small easy payments, to
suit the convenience of customers.
Remember this is not an abridge
ment, but the great Edinburgh ninth
edition, reproduced page for page,
with important articles on American
subjects rewritten to date by eminent
American authors, and new maps,
later and better than in any other
edition. Special Offer. We claim that
our reprint compares favorably with
the high priced editions in every re
spect, and in respect to maps, and
strength and beauty of bindings is
superior to them. In order that this
claim may be tested by a personal
inspection we make the following
proposition: We will furnish volume
1. at 60 cts. a fraction of actual cost
if sent by express. Add 40 cts.
postage if wanted by mail. Amount
paid for Volume I., will be credited
on price of set when ordered.

An Outlaw Killed.
John W. Penton was captured on

Three Times Sentenced.
A Pulaski, Tenn., special says: Lar
kin Lancaster, who was charged with
having cut off the head and severed
the legs of Zick Dickson and then
did same up in sacks and throwing
them in Richland creek, was yester
day convicted of murder and sen
tenced to be hanged on the second
Friday in June next. . A remarkable
coincidence is that this is the third
time that he has been convicted on
the same day of the month of April
and sentenced to hang on the same
day of the month in June. He has
appealed to the supreme court, and
some lawyers think that it is a vex
ing problem as to whether or not he
will be hanged, and that it is no near
er a solution than it was more than
tw j years ago,
