Klizabeth City conom it : We
auuounce with pain that our ven
erable citi?D, Y. S. Proctor, was
stricken with paralysis yesterday
morning. Is it true that the
tides on our eoat are lower thau
ever known by the oldest inhabi
tant and that the August earth
quake was the cau-e of it? The
Hishon of the Diocese ot Ea.st Car
ohnii made his annual visitation to
this parish on Thursday and Friday
and administered the right of con
hrmation to - x persons ou rriday.
(ireensboio Xeict: It is rumored
that parties from the east are here
negotiating tor the Steele blind and
sash factor near the depot, and the

haust. a tobacco dealer of Balti
more, has been in the city for the
last few days, lie is well pleased
with the prospects for the tobacco

The Wetter Enterprtst gives the
following: Jim llurnett, col.,
batcher at this place, had a negro
to hold a beef while he knocked it
iu the head with an axe. Jim
made a mislick and the negTO
caught the lick which was intend
ed for the beef on his head. The
negro fell and Jim ran for a doctor,
but the unfortunate man soon
recovered, aud, while it lolted him
considerably, it's another living
evidence
th.it it is not worth while
to strike
i negro mi the ho Ail to
kill him.

attempt was made to wreck the
passenger and freight tram on the
Carolina Central Pailroad which
left Charlotte lor this city at -.15
o'clock Monday evening. The
wreckers had removed a rail from
the track at a point two and a half
miles east of Matthew's station
and some fourteen miles from Char
lotte. Fortunately, the train was
running slowly at the time, and
only two box cars and the engine
were thrown (rom the track. 1 he
engine and tender, however, went

and the fireman, a colored man,
were slightly hart. No one else

Tne petiti n :
inking tne creation of a
he known as Random,
s signed hy residents of
i raven county .
I lie follow iu bills were introduced:
To UK'urporale the Ivinston and Snow
Him Kailwav i'o. ; To pruhibit the use
of draft ni is in Carteret county.
The calendar was taken up.
Tt.e tall (o regulate the sale of .-eed
eott. n. .y requiriiic a record to be keit
of ail seed cotton sold, the name of ihe
seiier. tne j ri e. etc . were taken up
an i debated at considerable length. It
was finally referred to the committee
on agriculture.
Tne railway commission bill was i n
taken up. The House reconsidered . e
vote t y Inch it p:uised us secomi r.
in. ac i it therefore came up on i
reading. A motion to cointo comr
tee of the whole and consider the I
by sections was loot. The House thin
took iij. ir.e bill regularly.
Mr. IVuro. n opened the liebate. sienk
in warnilv in favor of the lull. He
charged the railways were daily violat
ing the etatutes.
An amendment was i ifind. that the
commissioners hall be elected by the
I.eitihiturt.
Mr. orkppoke in opp t-ition to th?
till and attacked Mr. Pearson's posi
tion, lie closed by saying that he a-
tired of the lonjf discussion. movd to
table the bill, and on that motion called
the veas and nays. He withdrew- the
call long eriouKli to permit several gen
tlemen to speak .
Mr. Holt antagonized the bill. He
said he would never support it as long
as section 5 wa allowed to remain.
He said the old roads cannot be regu
lated .
Mr. Kwart asked why these old roads
were so bitterly fighting this bill if it
was a matter uf indnTerence to them.
Mr. Holt said it waj because these
r .ads w ished to build branch roads and
had to get the money North, where the
lirst question asked would be. "Have
you a railway commission '.'1''
Mr. Worth spoke in favor of the bill.
Mr. Ewart also spake in its favor.
He attacked Mr. Holt, charging him
with imftcision. with voting tirst for,
and then against, the bill. In this gnat
fight Mr. Holt and Mr. York were on
the side of the corporations against the
people. He said that stction 5. for
wnien air. licit said he would never
vote, provided that the commission
should prevent irright discrimination.
He made a bitter attack upon the rail
way lobyists and the disreputable
metho Is of some of them.
Mr. York thereupon renewed his mo
tion table, and called for the ayes and
noes. The call was sustained and the
House voted. The result was as follows:
aves 47. nots 47. There were many ex
planations vt votes and one or two Re
publicans cried out. upon Ewart's charge
that Kspublican lawyers had affected
their view,. Une of these Republicans,
Mr. Stewart, denounced Mr. Ewart's
remark as unworthy of a gentleman.
He said Kwart had congressional as
pirations. The chair cast the deciding vote no.
so the motion to table did not prevail.
The House, at 2 o'clock, adjourned.

Ward, colored, speaking to a question
of personal privilege, said the .statement
was false that he as a member of the
committee to visit the Morganton in
sane asylum had raised a row because
In was not allowed to eat at the same
table w ith the white members of the
committee. He aro said that he under
stood, in his vote yesterday on the mo
tion to indefinitely postpone the bill to
abolish county government that he was
not paired with Mr. Fatten and had
voted .
Mr. Potton sail that Ward had a bad
memory. Two white members testiiied
that Ward and Potton were paired.
Holloway. colored, called on Wil
liamson, colored, to state to the House
who had told him ias Williamson
stated yesterdays that the people of
Wilmington did not have any cause of
grievance against the railways, but
desired a railway commission simply
because they had a favorite son whom
they wished to get in the position.
Uollowav said he was told bv the
delegates from Wilmington that they
had told Williamson no such thing.
Williamson said he had no explana
tion to make. He was badly discom
fited and the House laughed whiie it
sneered at him.

There was quite a debate on this bill.
A good many reilecti.ms were cast upon
the railway company.
The speeches were rather heated.
Finally Mr. Crawford ollered an amend
ment that the company shall be requir
ed to begin work in McDowell county

previous question. The House voted
down this amendment. The bill then

pased by the Senate this afternoon for
strengthening the coast defenses pro
posed to put c's.COO.UOO at the disposal
uf the Secretary of War and 6S.liOO.C00
at the disposal of the Secretary of the
Navy, the money to be applied exclu
sively to the construction of modern
irmy and navy ordnance. An amend-
meni appropriating the further sum of
S".ij0?,oij0 for the construction of forti
fications and other works of coast de
fense was also adopted, making the
aggregate s-.l .OOO.TX'O. These measures
were passed by a practically unanimous
vote. There is. however, not the least
expectation that they will pass the
House. The conference committee on
the fortifications bill, which has held
numerous sessions, eoems now to be
approaching the completion of its la
bors. It was stated in this correspond
ence some weeks since that the com
mittee would in all probabilitv even
tually settle upon a sum approximating
cu.uuu.oou. mis can now be reiterated,
and the report of the committee will in
all probability be made within a week
or ten days. The sum mentioned will
be applied in about equal proportions
for the construction of heavy ordnance
for the army and navy, the House
eonferre.-s. at the head of whom is Mr.
Randall, In recommending the adoption
of this report by the House, will con
sider that it is as far as they can go at
this session, and therefore, as said, it
not be anticipated that any serious con
sideration will be given to the Senate
bills passed this afternoon.
SL. A TOR-ELECT REAGAN.
Representative Reagan, of Texas, has
returned very much elated over the
prospect of leaving the House for a six
years term in the Senate. He says his
bath, over which so much fun was
made, did not hurt him with the people .
of Texas, but rather elevated him in
their favor, ne says in the recent sen
atorial contest in Texas there was no
ill-feeling between any of the candi
dates, who were all polite and courte
ous to each other and to each other's
friends, and that there are no resent
ments to survive the contest. He
thinks the Texas delegation will rec
ommend to the President a citizen of
that Commonwealth for appointment
on the interstate commerce commission.
EXTOLLING PROF. BELL.
ihe Supreme Court of the Cnited
States will take a recess tomorrow tor
the telephone cases, Mr. Dickinson, of
the Bell counsel, pictured Prof. Bell as
a public benefactor and philanthropist,
who had been most shamefully perse
cuted, and he criticised the Department
of Justice for creating, as he said, an
annex to the department to a?8ist in
this persecution of a good man.
SENATOR DECK l-NDIGNANT.
A friend of Senator Beck walked into
his committee-room a few days ago, and
to his surprise found the Kentucky
statesman in a towering rage, gazing at
a letter he held in his hand. '-What do
you think of thin for an insultV" he ex
claimed, after greeting his friend. "I
don't know what some of my constitu
entstakejne for. This letter is from a
young man who lives near my home,
and he has the cheek to offer me ten
per cent of his salary for the first year
if I secure him an appointment in the
railway messenger service. This is
a sample of some of the letters we get.
I have received a lot of such otfers. and
might make a fair salary if a Democrat
had any show, but he hasn't.''
MK. SHERMAN' CAUGHT NAPPING.
Senator Sherman, President of the
Senate, is recognized as one of the most
astute and wide-awake men in public
life. He was today, however, actually
caught sapping in the Vice-President's
chair. Senator Morgan, of Alabama,
was delivering one of his usually long
but eloquent speeches on the Eads ship
railway bill. There were but few Sena
tors in the chamber at the time, and
the Alabama Senator was reading a long
list of statistics. One of the pages
looked toward the presiding officer's
chair and discovered Mr. Sherman with
his head bowed low, enjoying "forty cr
more winks."' He dozed for about ten
minutes, when he was finally aroused
by one of the Alabama Senator's flights
of eloquence, in which he shouted "Mr.
President" with considerable emphasis.

Brehmer says Ife dormant in
the blood.
Every particle of blood wbichv
passes through - the lnngg and .
heart, also goes through the kid
neys, and if they are in the least
deranged they cannot rid the blood
of its killing poison. The thousand
little hair-like sewer tubes of tht:t':
kidneys very easily get blocked np
and diseased; and -when tney nio,
they corrupt instead of purifying
the blood. Kidney disease may- :,
exist, and yet no pain occur in that
organ, because it is deficient in
nerves of sensation.
Dip your finger in acid every -day
and it soon festers and is de-
gtroyed. Send acid poisoned blood
through the lungs every second,
and they soon give way.
The Brompton Hospital investi
gation showed that 52 per cent, of '
the victims of consumption were
afflicted with deranged kidneys,
which permitted the uric acid poi
son to remain in the blood and irri
tate the lungs. This nric. acid is
always fighting every vital organ,
and if there be any inherent weak
ness in the lungs it inevitably causes
pneumonia, congh and consump
tion. The real cause of pulmonary
troubles being so authoritatively
shown to be faulty even though un
suspected action of the kidneys, ex
plains why, in order to master the '
dreaded consumption, one must rid - '
the blood of the uric acid irritant
which inflames and burns np the
long substance. For this purpose
there is nothing equal to that great
specific, Warner's safe cure. This
remedy has now the favor of medi- ,
cai men all over the world purely .on . ..
its merits. We have no donbt that
if the kidneys are kept in natural
action, consumption and a great

uric acid, will not only be Cured bat
Will be prevented
When the kidney is healthy, no
albumen appears in the water, but
albumen is found in the water of
more than half of those who die of
consumption!

when the patient goes to his school
physician for help, he is put on cod

cannot digest. Because there is no
pain present in the kidneys, the
patient does not think they are
affected, but the kidney acid is do

A post mortem examination of
