Only one member of the board of audit and finance was present, that was he chairman. He read their report, but after a very spirited discussion, led by aldermen MoKethan and Campbell in op position to the report, the matter was re ferred to a joint meeting of the finance committee of the board of aldermen and the board of audit and finance.

Robeson County Superior Court ad journed yesterday. Judge Green during this term sentenced two negroes, Frank McRae" and Gus Thompson to be hanged on June 19th. No appeal was taken in either case. They had been convicted by a jury of committing rape. A correspon dent of the Wilmington Star says that an effort will be made to have Thompson's sentence commuted to life imprisonment but that McRae will probably be executed at the appointed time. Won't Tote for Russell. Mr. W. C. Troy who has just returned from a trip through Randolph, Moore, Harnett and Chatham says that he sound ed the prominent white Republicans in all those counties on Russell's nomination and found a surprising number of them bitterly opposed to him. The Populists he says are almost with out exception solid against fusion, and that hundreds of negroes declared that they will not support Russell under any circumstances. He says all this talk by a few scared Democrats about the negroes falling into line at the last moment is tommie rot, and that Russell will bo overwhelmingly de feated. He says that even granting that the negroes, every one of them, so stultify themselves as to vote for Russell, a Demo cratic Governor would still be elected, for there are thousands of Populists in North Carolina who are disgusted with their leaders, and only need a little persuading to return to their old mother. Tho niii rinnrt House. All that now stands of the -old court house is a tart of the west wall. The foundations are covered with, debris, and therefore it is impossible to tell whether there is a corner-stone or not By the way, Mr. Cain, who is engaged in making abstracts of title to real estate in mis county, commencing with the Records in the Register of Deeds' omce, irom 1750, savsthat. from i7;o to I7Q7, the year on which he is now working, no mention of a court house is made, but in tne iauer vear the words court house appear for the first time. Before that year the State - . . . n House is recorded as tne place wnere an legal transactions took place. It is to be nresumed. therefore, that in 1797, one year after onr Independence, a court house was erected. The men engaged in tear ing down the old court house inform us that it was originally wooden, but was re modelled and encased with brick. As .thfre are no official records concerning this old building in the years gone by, we would like to near trom any one concern ing its history. Meeting of Supervisors. A called meeting of the Supervisors of Cross Creek township was held May 12th. Supervisors present: D. N. McLean, chairman, A. J. Deal, C. B. McMillan, T. B. Newberry, T. S. Lutterloh, C. P. Overby. The meeting was called to receive the report of the Harrington Hill Committee and take in consideration the condition of roads. The overseer of Harrington Hill' road having moved away, H. I. McDuffie was appointed overseer of said road. It was moved and carried that D. N. McLean, C. B. McMillan and A. J. Deal be appointed a committee to examine into the condition of Adam street and Mclver street from Hall's old corner to Mimms' pond, and report at regular August meet ing. Moved and carried that D. N. McLean, T. S. Lutterloh and overseer of Haymount road ditch, to have the ditch repaired and furnish lumber if necessary for boxing. Unlucky Friday. Yesterday evening Messrs. A. J. Cook, J. C. Thomson, Leighton Huske and W. J. Perrin wsnt out for the first time this summer to occupy their cottage at Bol ton Springs. This morning four young men bearing slight resemblance to the.four above mentioned were seen dragging themselves wearily into town, one of them with fragments of a bicycle on his shoul der. Although they parted at the foot of Harrington's Hill and circled the city until they got to a point opposite their homes and then made a bee line for the back doors, they were seen, and good naturedly guyed by several of their friends. Messrs. Cook, Huske and Thomson journeyed to the Springs in a buggy and arrived there all right, Mr. Perrin started on a bicycle, but when within two miles of the Springs ran against a tree which had fallen across the road and broke his wheel to bits. He walked the balance of the way and when comfortably housed with his com panions, was consoled by their offer to take him home in their buggy. But lo, when they awoke in the morning they dis covered that their horse had broken loose and returned to town. The result was as above described. Diocesan Council. The second day's proceedings of the Episcopal Diocesan Council, in session at Wilmington, was opened at ten o'clock yesterday morning. The following gen tlemen from Fayetteville were present: Rev.

He re ferred most feelingly to the death of Hon. George Davis and Mr. John B. Bonner, of Aurora. This portion of the address was referred to special committees to report to-morrow.
