SIajor Stedman.
Major Chas. Stedman is going to leave
Asheville to live in Atlanta, Ga. The
Atlanta Constitution says :
"Hon.C. M. Stedman, ex-Lieutenant
Governor of North Carolina, will move to
Atlanta trom Asheville May 1st, and will
enier me praciice 01 nis prolession, law.
Maj. Stedman is one of the most distin-
guisnea memoers ot tne bar ot his State,
is a truly Southern e-entleman and con
sidered the handsomest man in the Old
North State. Atlanta will welcome him
in our midst."
The Flea Hill Fence War.
Nothing new from Flea Hill this morn
ing. The facts as reported yesterday have
been confirmed in every particular. No
inkling as to the perpetrators of the out
rage has been had.
The commissioners are taking every
means to get evidence, but so far have
been utterly baffled on every hand.
It is certainly an ironclad organization
and is therefore very dangerous.
Is the law powerless to prevent such
audicious lawlessness?
Mnrjr Ann and Mary Jane.
There was another colored row in , 71st
yesterday. Mary Jane McPherson and
Mary Ann McLauchlin assaulted Mary
Jane McLauchlin. A great fight followed
but after several hours of kicking and
scratching the detached party surrendered.
This morning Mary the beaten, went to
Mary. Ann McLauchlin's, and finding her
alone gave her a severe thrashing.
Further developments are looked for.
Meantime Squire -Overby has issued
warren ts for the arrests of the several
Marys.
The Weather on Stamps.
The letters which go out from the
Washington post-office will have the
weather indications stamped on them, af
ter next week. The stamp will be the
usual date stamp with a circle around it
in which will be printed a word indicat
ing the kind of weather to. be expected,
such as "rain," "snow," "colder," "fair,"
and the like. For the present Washing
ton will be the only office using the
stamps.
If the Government would employ Gen.
Thos. Gill to tell Postmaster Gaster the
weather every morning we could have a
like service here.
The Clarendon Club.
There was a large meeting of members
in the parlor of the Exchange Club last
night. The President, Mr. Perrin, occu
pied the chair, and showed much execu
tive ability in handling the various intri
cate propositions and amendments. After
a long and heated discussion it was de
cided to vote on the admission of new
members by ballot, the names being post
ed for ten days previous. Three black
balls was deemed sufficient to exclude a
a candidate. Several amendments were
made to the constitution, the most im
portant of which was the changing of the
name from Exchange Club to Clarendon
Club. The Treasurer, Mr. Leon Brandt,
reported the club in a prosperous condi
tion financially.
Miss Matt Williams has returned after a
two weeks' visit to Florida.
The Scarlatina.
Two new cases of Scarlatina were re
ported this morning to Dr. McGougan, the
Health Officer. They are, a little girl at
Mr. Lambeth's house on Russell Street,
and Mr. W. M. Thomas' little girl. Mr.
Thomas lives in the old Mimms' house.
The other cases still continue to do well
with the exception of the little daughter
of Mr. Jas. Johnson. She is still exceed
inglyill.
The reporter made a tour of the city
and suburbs this morning and found every
thing very clean with the exception of few
ugly ditches. Most of the people have
put their yards in order and freely sprink
led lime around their premises.
Children have commenced to return to
school and the frightened looks of anxious
mothers have given way under the in
fluence of the second sober thought.'
