A, large congregation listened to Dr. Moore last night in the Methodist church. Dr. Moore's sermon is said to have been a very fine one replete with high thoughts and beautiful phrases and delivered in bis usual forcible manner. At its conclusion a number stood up to be prayed for. The Receiver Here. Gen. Jno. Gill, accompanied by Mr. G. B. Hazlehurst, a prominent gentleman of Baltimore, General Manager J. W. Fry, and General Freight and Passenger Agent Kyle came up from Wilmington this morn ing and are now in the city. Gen. Gill, who has thoroughly recov ered from his recent sickness, is on a tour of inspection of the C. F. & Y. Y. A Candidate Sends His Picture. Mr. McNeill, the Register of Deeds, has received a handsome large portrait of Brackett Reed, the candidate from Maine for the Republican nomintion for Presi dent. Major McKinley had better have some struck off of himself, if he wants to keep up with the procession. These Yan kees must think that the Populists are going to vote for the Republican candi date, and throw their so-called principles to the winds. The Poat-Office. Mr. Gaster is turning things around in the post-office. He has had it thoroughly cleansed and white-washed, and will in a few days add a new tier of lock-boxes. He will also have a stamp window, distinct from the delivery window, so that one can get stamps at all hours. He will, also, in appreciation of the stringency in money matters, sell postage-stamps during next month in lots of thirteen at one cent and a quarter. IVo Epidemic. No new cases of Scarlatina have been reported to-day. The few that have been reported are doing well with the exception of Mr. Johnson's little children. We distinctly wish it understood that there is no Scarlet Fever epidemic in this city. We understand that it was reported abroad that there had been sixty deaths in this city from this disease. There have been only two deaths, and those were of in fants. Onr people are going about their busi ness as usual and the schools are open. It seems to us that our people should first become frightened before outsiders be come alarmed. People and their Movements. Mr. J. T. Denny, of Buie's, is in town today. We regret to learn that Capt. Jesse Kyle is still very ill. Hon. Dan Hugh McLean and wife of Harnett county, were in the city to-day. The C. P. & "IT. V. Case. . The Wilmington Messenger recently had the following from the Wilmington attor neys who went to Asheville in connection with the case: " The counsel for the Baltimore committee argued for the sale of the road as an en tirety, holding that the mortgage for the security of the three series of bonds con veyed the property as an entirety aud that it was impossible to sell a single division of the road so as to pass to the purchaser at the sale any of the franchise or charter of the road, inasmuch as the charter is indi visible. The counsel of the New York committee contended that the "A" bondholders had a specific lien on the "A" division and that these bondholders had the right to have that division sold to satisfy their bonds, without reference to any other division or to the laws of the State or to any public policy. Mr. Cowan, counsel for the Baltimore committee, showed the injustice and un fairness of such a sale as that insisted upon by tbe New York committee, and showed by reference to the mortgage itself that such a sale was never contemplated when the mortgage was made, and that the only thing the A,? bondholders were entitled to was to have their bonds paid so far as pos sible out of the "A" division by ascertain ing what the relative value of the "A" division is as compared to the value of the other divisions.
