A couple of weeks ago we noticed the very interesting article on the Fayetteville arsenal which General M. P. Taylor has contributed to Judge Walter Clark's war histories, and added a reminiscent article from our own standpoint which has been copied in other journals and extensively commented upon. The agitation of the subject, as our readers are aware, has led to the patriotic movement inaugurated by General Le Due and so cordially seconded by Mayor Cook,,which culminated in the splendid meeting held yesterday afternoon in the CJity Hall. This meeting, which was attended by a number of our foremost citizens, was called to order by the Mayor, who called Hon. R. P. Buxton to the chair. Mr. Louis B. Hale was chosen secretary. Interesting addresses were made by Gen. Le Duo. Capt. Rankin, Col. Pemberton Col. Cook, and Messrs. W. N. Tilhnghast, H. McD. Robinson, B. R. Huske, J. M. Lamb, W. H. Pope and S. W. Tillinghast, Gen. Le Due said that the Cuban ques tion and our recent strained diplomatic re lations would no doubt necessitate the building of one or more arsenals, and that Fayetteville was the ideal place, and that be thought with proper work through Con gressmen and by petitions, we could have the old arsenal restored. Mayor Cook said that he was satisfied that the city would defray the expenses of the agitation. Mr. Lamb, chairman of the County Com missioners, said that he could not speak as yet, for the commissioners, but that he him self could send petitions to his correspon dents in nearly all the large cities in the country, and that most of them were in fluential men. At the conclusion of the meeting a vote of thanks was tendered to Gen. Le Due for his interest in our welfare, and especially in this matter. On motion of Henry McD. Robinson, Esq., it was resolved: That a Committee of ten citizens be ap pointed by the chair to take all proposed steps in furtherance of the object of this meeting, which is to obtain the re estab lishment by Congress of the United States Arsenal at Fayetteville, N. C. The chair appointed an the committee: H. McD. Robinson, W. S. Cook, J. M. Lamb, J. B. Broad foot, B. R. Huske, S. C. Rankin, A. B. Williams, Chas. Haigh, Q. K. Nimocks, E. J, Hale. We shall have a good deal more to say on this subject, so important to Fayette ville. Meanwhile, we would suggest in the line of General Le Due's capital speech, that, as the ground for asking for the re- building of the arsenal, the re cords be searched for the reasons which were assigned at the time for its original construction. Messrs. A. J. Cook and Hector Mc Geachey returned yesterday from a pleas ant visit to Winston-Salem. Entertainment Friday- Night. Miss Lizzie Bolton's school will give a concert in the Opera house Friday night, the proceeds to go to charitable purposes. It will be a repetition of the entertain ment given in Campbellton week before last ana wmcn provea sucn a success. Those who saw it then and many of them were competent judges, say that the tableaux, recitatiohs,dialogues and oporat tas, were excellent and a credit to the school Fire. The fire alarm sounded at 10 o'clock this morning and the usual race between the hose teams ensued. No. 2 was the first to throw wateron the building, which proved to be the Odd Fellows (colored) Lodge on the corner of Donaldson and Mumford streets. The bailding is only used by this Lodge and as a meeting was held there last night it is presumed that the fire was smoldering all night and only broke out into a blaze this morning. The fire company extinguished the flames be fore much damage was done. The build ing was insured. Death of JTIr. Calvin ITIcItay. We regret to announce the death of Mr. Calvin McKay which occurred in Wilson last night at 10:20 o'clock.
