Evangelist Fife, the ex-drummer, is holding a religious revival at Durham. Raleigh held a mass meeting last night, and raised $5,000 towards se curing the Baptist Female College. The Teachers' Assembly have com pleted arrangements to have present at the next session in June Rev. Dr.-Tal-mage and the great humorist Eli Per kins. The Supreme Court ot the Unit ed States yesterday assigned what are known as the North Carolina boundcases, involving the validity of about ten million dollars worth of bonds, for argument on the twentieth inst. These cases have been pending more than "a yearj the court declining to assign them for hearing during the last term for reason, it is understood, that Justice Matthews was ill and the court was nearly evenly divided on the questions at issue. Rev. C. L. Powell, a Baptist preach? er, who,as an independent missionary, went to Algiers, North Africa, from North Carolina, has in a fit ofinsanity murdered his youngest daughter, aged 6 'years, -by cutting her throat with a pocket-knife. He made an at tack on his wife, who fled and there by saved her life. He had been in an asylum in Algiers, but having improv ed was allowed to go ' home, and soon after made this murderous attack. He is now in an asylum in Algiers. His wife and four children are very anxious to get back to North Carolina. Gov. Fowle 'yesterday sfixed the day of exec'ition of four men, appointing the same date, February 7th, for the execution of all of them, says the News and Observer. These are John Wilson, convicted of murder in Yancey coiinty at the spring court of 18S9 ; Manly Pankey, convicted of murder in Mont gomery county, fall term, 1889; Sam uel Halford and R. P. Willis, both convicted of burglary in Rutherford county, at Spring term, 1SS9. All the parties took appeals to the Su preme Court,! but the judgment in each case was confirmed., The next m'onth will have its full share of hang ings in this State. In addition to the above there are Parrish and Boyle, of this city, and Lije Moore at Greens- boro, who are also under .death sen tence. ' IN A GENERAL WAY. Important Happenings In Other Stales anil Countries. La Grippe is proving fatal in a number of instances in New York and in European cities. It is said of Governor McKinnev that he never took a drink, smoked a cigar or uttered a' profane word. Stanley sees fine prospects for rail ways in Africa. According to his es timates 800 miles , cQtild. be laid down for $17,000,000, This mileage would open to commerce four great river basins, with a total area of 2,370,000 square miles, and a total population of 80,960,000. Of the resources of the region he speaks in' the highest terms. A dispatch from Wildcat, Ark., says that the wedding of John Ma) field and Mrs. Sarah Rich was interrupted by' the appearance of an officer who had a warrant, for the arrest of the bride groom on the charge of shooting a man named Cook during a quarrel some hours before. Tlie bridegroom lagged (he officer to allow the marriage to take place, which he did, and after wards took Mi) field to the nearer' jail. - v Cheap Ilnriiexrt.
