Overman, Senator clect,left this afleraoon for Sails bury his home. lie tells mo he received yesterday some 350 telegrams, from all parts of North Carolina, and front other States. He asks tbat his thanks for these kind telegrams be expressed to the tend ers, when ho will later answer personally Cyrus B. Watson and Locke Craig left yesterday afternoon for their respective homes at Winston and Ashcvllle. One of tho odd things about the last vote in the Democratic caucus Thursday night has not been told. Watson had 58 voles with 13 ballots yet remaining to be counted. ' Btiango to say everyone of that 15 was for Overman. They were called one after the other, whllo people literally held their breath. Another curious thing about the vote Thursday night was that two Watson men were "paired" Glenn with Moody. It appears to the belief of many per sons that tho Watts liquor regulation bill will get a favorablo report from the joint committee. The liquor men are making their main fight on tho London bill. Col. W. t. Dortch of Goldsboro Is their chief counsel. He hai hid an of fice here for a fortnight or ii.ore and Is working very hard. Much inlcicst Is felt In tho bill char tering the Audubon society and protect ing song and sea birds. The slaughter of the terms and gull) bu practically ex terminated them, bin with protection they will again mtiViply. A man named Gould, in Daro c mnty, la.tho one who slaughters Write for milliners' use. He hires men to shoot them. Tho shooting Is largely Jono during the breeding sea son, "dual'' shot being used. Of course (be young birds, their parents killed die l:i the nests, ami the eggs decay. The committee has so amended tho bill that It does not conflict with local laws regu lating tho killing of gamo biris. The law as to these is shamefully abused. Mr W W Smith of this city during a recent trip to tho coast found that the people who shoot by "lire light,"' at night, were killing 50 or CO docks at a shot. These law' breakers will bo knocked out of their nefarious business by the game wardens provided for by the Audubon bill."

Ne.v York, Feb. 2. For awhllo about noon, It looked as 'though the market would break wide open. This was due to stop loss orders, and selling carried May down to 8,80 and through that figure, while March ran down to 8.72 and this all took place without what might be called free selling. If a few thousands can send the market down, what will happen when receipts contin ue this way for some days? We are to have a week, ot free movement, free when compared with last year. On this comparison we are not likely to advance much, It means a strong market if prices do not react more than Jo. As long as conditions favor a decline for tlmo being at least, we believe in that 'view there Is nothing to induce baying at this level just now. There Is more on the soiling side than on tho baying Thj fact that prlcas have to he held by artificial balling is not a good sign. If the market can not go up on to strong a position there Is Haely to be a break. There it every inducement to take pro- ' fits and hold off for this week, la the event of a sharp break at opening to morrow we would buy for quick profits, butprould take profits On the reaction looking for quick' break later in the. day.

Another old tlmer.the former blockade running steamship and Confederate warship Victory, now sail ing under the name of the Quit Stream, is probably doomed to leave her bones on the New Jersey coast at Avalon, near Cape May. She left this port yesterday with a general cargo for Philadelphia and got aground during the dense fog. The life savers went to her In their surf boat and took oft the crew, as it was feared the vessel would break Up. ' The Gulf Stream was built in Philadel phia In 1861 and started her voyage un der the name of the North Carolina. Afterward her name was changed to the Victory. Wher the Federal Government got hold of her she was named the Qaeen. Atlantic Cut, N. J Jan. 80. While running by dead reckoning through the dense fog which enveloped this coast last night the steamship Gulf Stream, plying between New Tork and Philadelphia grounded on the bar op posite Latham's life saving station, twenty miles south of this city. The steamship lies in a very bad condition and will most likelyte a total loss. The life saving crew from Latham's ttatlcn landed the steamship crew of. twenty men. The task was a very difficult one owing to the very high seas and the position of the steamer on the bar. Fresh and pickled Beef Trip e 5c at j R.

Primary to De cide on Third Term Question. The adjourned mass meeting of last Tuesday night met at the jCourt House last night to hear the report of the com mittee sent to Raleigh to confer with Representative Gulon on the bill creat ing a commission to take control of the water works and electric lights of the City of New Bern. There was one sentiment expressed above, all others, "Keep it out of Poli tics." This was what the Journal ad vocated three years sgo and excited the enmity of the Board of Aldermen and others in authority. The Journal advo cated a commission at that "4 time that public affairs should be administered in business like methods and for doing so suffered wLat Injury the "Insiders" could do. The course of events has shown who was right. There was "heap talk" for two hours and a quarter and at the end the majority did not know what action had been taken on tho final vote.' We are enabled to enlighten the citizens of the burg on this Important question, If they have not already discovered lt. The report of the committee was adopted and the bill as amended and printed In Sunday's Journal Is to become a law. The question of whether a Mayor shall be allowed to run for a third term will be decided in a Democratic primary to be held three weeks from yesterday, February 23rd. It is conceded that this primary will decide virtually the question whether Mayor Patterson will succeed himself. The primary will be held, of course, to vote on whether the Legisla ture shall be asked to change the charter of the city so as to permit a "third term" by a bill introduced for that purpose. As this is advocated In the Interests of the present Mayor, the question can be sim plified by letting the matter bo under stood as lt will be taken as an endorse ment or otherwise. It was a very noisy meeting, and there were useless interruptions of all the speakers, although reasonably good feel ing seemed to prevail. Some serious charges ;were brought out and a good many things not strictly before the meeting were discussed. The meeting was presided over by Mr. Henry R. Bryan Jr. and Mr L J Moore promptly took tho floor and moved that the question of the "third term" be re considered. This was objected toby Mr J A Meadows as beIng.out .of order. Mr E Gerock made an argument against lt that a change In office was a good thing, that It prevent cliques and broke up rings In the city government, this led to an active discussion by Mr J J Wo 1 fenden and Mr .J A Bryan on whether the matter would require a two thirds vote to bring It up after being tabled in the first meeting and there was a good deal said about "parliamentary rules. 1 Mr J A Meadows took tho floor to advo cate a primary to decide the two ques tions, whether the Oulon bill should be approved and whether the "third term" bill should go In. He said that the ques- tlonshould not be decided by a fewln the interest of Mr Patterson but the people should decide lt. He made the motion for a primary but this was not voted on until the close of the meeting and then the point of the real motion was "lost in the shuffle." Mayor Pattterson made a statement that he had never antlclpated.asking for a third term but would have prevented the question coming up last Tuesday as the people were not la a humor then, But since that time he had carried around a petition and only four men had objected to signing it and two of those were candidates for the same office, That a primary had been suggested and that it was a good solution. Mr. H. O. IWhltehurst spoke against the proposition, that the present law prevented an official from using the in fluence of his office to secure a re-elec tlon and prevented the formation of rings. That as to the petition, employes had been threatened that if they did not sign lt their heads would come off. Mr. R. P. Williams revived some po Utical history. Coming down to date he said that the Guion bill had never been heard of by two of the aldermen, that the city accounts had been "doctored" to make the operation of the water works show a profit of $2,000. This led to a positive statement from Mr. T. F, McCarthy that he had "never heard of such thing." Mr M D W Stevenson, on behalf of the committee, made an explanation of the bill, the necessity for sanitary re strlctlons and other points In the meas ure. Mr B W Bmaiiwood made a motion that the report of the committee be re ceived and a vote of thanks to the com mlttee was also tendered.. Mr W D Mclver said, that the present bill was two steps to the worse of the first bill, that at the first meeting the people had clamored because they were being ignored and now they were worse ignored than ever. He spoke against the terms of office in the bill and touched on the "ten o'clock closing" and open bar rooms on Sunday. Mr Gerock sals that not a dollar had been set aside for the sinking fund, with the Board of Aldermen In control and that It was time to call a halt, that they had not been faithful servants and had spent every dollar they could get a hand on and had squandered and wasted lt for general purposes. Mr J A Bryan stated that there was $4,700 now in bank, of which $4,000 could be used to put the sewers In re to change the time of electing tho com mlssioners, so tbat next year three mem bers could be elected, acd on each two! years following so tbat on off yeirs it I could be "kept out of pollilcs." Th's proposition was lost sight of In the later discussion. Mr J A Meadows said tbat this bili was a pet scheme of Mr Oulon hut that he had "promised to accept sny bill not not materially different from his bill." It was evident that there was a large number present not favorable to the bill but, that It was a good suggestion to hold the election every other year. The previous question was here called but a substitute was first voted on to leave out the words "free holder', and this being carried was construed to mean that the bill as amended by the committee was accepted and that the only question to go before the primary was whether the charter should be amended as to the third term prohibi tion. Thejprlmary election was left to the executive committee and they will call lt for February 23rd, lt being a special primary for that purpose. A motion to adjourn was carried after this decision. r SHATTERED DIGNITY. An Exit From Chnreh 1 lint ll.-id a Flavor of Comic Opera. The crude humor that makes the small boy want to throw n stone at a pllk hat on a man bristling with dig- kilty Is not to be disposed of aa n mere ill conceived prank of youth.

That Is why, for all the solemnity f the place, the soberest charity and the pest bred propriety In tho world could net prevent a titter nt a little tarce thnt happened once In a church In Brooklyn.

The wlfo followed tho husband. .Unfortunately' when they were half way' down the aisle (ho husband drop ped his glove and stooped to piclclt up.

On tho night of the 2d of July, 1834. In the midst of a terrlflo thunderstorm, Samuel P. Dew ey, a young man of twenty-eight, rowed out to the vessel and managed to saw oft the head of tho statuo and carry it away. Tho head was replaced a month later in Now. York, and the figure re mained there until 1874. It now occu pies a place in the grounds of the Naval school at Annapolis. Swelling Her Income.
