Kittrell, of the Stanwix Engi neer ing Company, to make a survey of the town, and furnish plan and specifica tions, which will be submitted to a number of waterworks companies for bids. Mayor Smith was appointed a com mittee of one to rent out the Opera House after the expiration, January 1, of the contract with Kronheimer, Hall & Smoot. A rock culvert was ordered to be built across the new part of McClan nahan street recently extended to the new cemetery. The name of McClan- nahan street is to be changed to Penn Avenue. ? The Vance Debt Matter., A Henderson correspondent of the Raleigh News and Observer writes v- Upon the creation of Vance county the legislature provided that the citi zens and taxable property taken from the county of Granville should not be released from their proportion of the outstanding public debt of Granville. The matter has been in the courts since 1881, and has just been determined by the S u pre me Court by 'which the Vance county proportion of Gran ville's debt with interest is 5,534. 29, something less that half the" amount claimed by Granville, It is a matter of consolation that the commissioners of Vance are prepared to pay the amount in full as soon as proper orders can be made in the case. If it is only five and a half thousand dollars we are to get from Vance county, there is nothing to hinder the magistrates and county commissioners addine to that sum enough to make ten thousand dollars, and fix up our courthouse as it should be fixed.

Ilappenlncs In North Carolina and Elsewhere From Today's Papers. It is reported that"Sitting Bull, the Indian chief, has been killed. Senator Zeb Vance took part in the force bill debate yesterday, and made a ringing speech. King Kalakaua's visit to the Unit ed States is surmised toj. have for its object the sale of his island dominion to Secretary Blaine. Raleigh has raised and forwarded 113 for placing headstones over the graves of North Carolina soldiers bur ied at Fredricksburg, Va. ; .A dispatch from Dakota says that the Indians who belonged to Buffalo Bill's Wild West show are doing good work among the unruly redskins, and that to their efforts as much as to any one thing the prevention of an out break may be attributed. The Wilmington Messenger says that Wm. and J. A. Bonitz, of 'Wil mington, arejdistantly related to the celebrated Dr. Koch, and that his father, their father, and the father of the Rev. F. W. E. Peschau were as sociated together in operations of the silver and copper mines bf the Harz. mountains in Hanover. Marcellus Dawson, Tom Lane and another man were hunting rabbits near Greenville recently, and as they were returning hom and when out ntar the road stopping to rest, suddenly Daw son called, "there goes a! rabbit,"; and in whirling to shoot it the whole load of his gun struck Lane, who was a few yards away. Sunday Dawson offered to surrender to the sherift, but the killing being purely accidental, the officer would not hold him. A Charlotte dispatch of yesterday says: Capt. John G. Potts, of the Confederate war, and a well known citizen, committed suicide by shootirig himself through the head with a 38 calibre pistol, at 6 o'clock this morn ing. He had just gotten out of bed and kindled a fire in the kitchen,when his family was aroused by. the report of the shot, and rushing in the room found him lying on the floor, with his pistol by his side, and blood and brains oozing from his head.
