Mr. CkarlM W. Roberts TtRdtrtd Baaquet By Employers at Wllmlnjtos, Del. . Mr. Charles W. Roberts, a former citizen of New Bern, and for several years superintendent of the large dry goods establishment of Crosby & Hill, Wilmington, DeL, was the guest of honor at a pleasant occasion a few days ago, given by his employers on the eve of his departure for Nyack, on the Hudson, N. Y., to engage in the man ufacturing business Mr. Roberts had for several years been connected with the firm and had won the respect and esteem of all who knew him. He will be interested in the manufacture of aprons, having established a factory at Nyack and he is also is part owner of another similar industry. ' A pleasant feature of the occasion mentioned which was a banquet, was the presentation of a generous check by his former employers and words of cheer and congratulation from different associates in business. , Mr. Roberts is brother-in-law of our townsman, J. J. Baxter, and was sales man in E. B. Hackburn's store. Wanted a Fire Alarm to Strike The Journal has repeatedly called the attention of the public to the poor fire alarm system of this city, and the fire of Wednesday afternoon at the colored church only proves the poor service that is being rendered. An at tempt was made to send in an alarm at the corner of George and Cypress, a distance of two hundred yards from the fire, but the alarm failed to sound, so a messenger was hurried to the corner of New and George to turn the alarm in. In substantiation of this statement we give this: one of the fire horses was up on George street near the cemetery when the fire broke out; the driver drove his horse down to Broad street, where he stopped and unhitched him from the wagon, and then came on to the engine house and hooked up to the hose cart and was out to the postoflice corner when the alarm sounded. This is the second time that an alarm has failed to sound from this box within the last few weeks. Members of the French Chambers of Deputies are opposing the extension of fortifications along the German frontier. Beaufort March 3rd. Quite a little excitement occurred here today. . Mr. J. N. Porter and wife and Mr. E B Wright and wife from Brooklyn, N. Y., are stopping at the Davis House for a few days. The two men are in search of a good hunting and were di rected to come here to find it. This morning they left early in a small duck boat, which was surrounded with a high grass blind, for a point in the har bor near the bird shoal, After a long wait a couple of fishing ducks came along and such excitement prevailed in the small unsteady blind that it cap sized. A darkey clamming nearby heard their shouts and went to the res cue. He says they were wildly kick ing and churning the water, no doubt supposing it being fathoms deep under neath, when in fact top boot was all needed to get ashore. They offered a reward of $10 for the recovery of their guns, which was promptly claimed and paid to a darkey who used a pair of oyster tongs handily. There was a theft here a few nights out of one of the stores of 17 quarts of whiskey, and this is a "dry town.'' The Mormons on Barkers Island are in trouble again. About a month ago their church was burned to the ground by incendiaries. A few- nights ago their house of worship was burned again. - ..

The keys are no longer left in the box doors, but are placed in a box with glass front alongside the fire alarm box. The change is made to prevent as far as possible, sending in false alarms of fire by children, or irre sponsible parties. Two fire alarms were sounded yester day. The first was sent in from box 34 at the corner of George and New streets at 12 30 p. m., and was false. The second one was from box 42 near Elm City mill and happened to be a small blaze in a lumber pile on the Eubanks property at the foot of Met- calf street which was easily put out. One extra passenger coach and the parlor car Vance was added to the reg ular train yesterday morning to carry the citizens and veterans of Beaufort to witness the return of the Confeder ate flag returned from Rhodo Island.

German Kali is widely used by farmers in this sec tion and they can attest its excellence. While perhaps the climate here is too severe for orange it is well for those interested to know-that this fertilizer is adaptable to everything that grows. Death of T. A.

Simpson Plant Destroyed The large turpentine distilling plant of the Simpson Manufacturing Co., lo cated near Riverdale was destroyed by fire early Sunday morning.
