Things went on l -tly enough until the Wake county Itr: was reached. Chairman Ewart r ' 1 the list and then asked, as a in n ler of form, if there were any ob jections to it. Suddenly Ben Robin son, who was formerly an alderman, jumped up and made objection to jus tice liarry Roberts, saying that he had years ago been guilty of forgery. This objection was strongly put but no more strongly that those of Mr. T. P. Devereauxand Rev. Leak, who also accused him of the same crime. Mr. Huberts aross'to defend himself. He said that in 1871 he was arrested, charged with forgery, and released on bail, given by influential citizens. That night he was visited by six men who gave him fifty dollars and told him to leave town. This he did, re turning here in 1874. He said he was innocent of the crime. Mr. Devereaux said that he did not know how Mr. Roberts came here, with the union army or as a three card monte faker, one or the other, he didn't know which. Mr. Roberts was endorsed by no less than eighteen Ititaigh lawyers and the committee deci-led that the whole list should re maiu as it was. Mr. Robert's name was retained. Mr. Gorman Denies the Charges. ilr. Maxwell Gorman writes the Visitor a letter in which he declares tliat the statements made that he in jured his infant child are unfounded. He says that a number of ladies will testify the child was never hurt at any time by any one, but died from en tirely natural causes, the direct cause being meningetis, accompanied by convulsions. He says further that he never whipped or struck his little boy. He admits that the Visitob was told of the matter which was published and his only desire is that what he now says may be published In con j troversion of the statements regard- ing him which were so widely current I here.

Representative Duffy is quite ill at his room in the Tarbofo hotel. Dr. Knox is attending him. Two more convicts arrived at the penitentiary from 1'ender and Craven counties yesterday afternoon. Last evening a bill went through the legislature perfecting the charter of the Raleigh electric company. The Confederate monument bill will come up for its second and last read ing at the night session this evening, probably. In the house today there was a hot debate on the bill to abolish the crim inal court of New Hanover county and to change Wilmington's charter. The house of a Mr. Jones, in Back horn townbhip, was entered last eve ning and nearly all his provisions, Ac, were stolen. A negro man was before the mayor this morning charged with assault and battery but there was no evidence against him and he was discharged. Mr. G. (0. and Robert Foster have bought the mills at Morganton, form erly owned by Col. Wilson, and will operate them. About the Gorman matter: The Visitor published what was told by Mrs. Gorman to Mayor Badger, be fore her husband was sent to jail. The stillness of the atmosphere ws so great today that the barometer on the experimental station actually ceas ed to revolve, a thing that is rarely seen. This morning there arrived here a car load of mules for Mr. J. M. Pace. That gentleman has for several weeks been selling a car load a week. The flag on the capitol this morning was hung wron g, union down. A gen tleman, a democrat, who saw it look ed twice and remarked, got up the distress signal, I see." One poor drunk, who nearly walked policeman Beasly to death by his zig zag course in getting to the station house late yesterday ' afternoon, was tried by Mayor Badger this morn ing and given twelve hours. Representative Lineback, of For sythe, is making a record for himsrlf by his utter disregard for partisan lines in voting. He votes just as Mr. Lineback thinks regardless of party or constitants. A colored man, Jesse Holmes, was badly hurt last night in a peculiar way. He awoke, suffering from a nightmare, and in his fright jumped from bed. His head " struck the floor and was badly cut. Jesse is again in bed. The sheriff has already been approach ed by those who want tickets to see George Mills hung. It does seem that however much morbid cariosity one might hace, he would at least wait un til a pardon was refused or the day set for execution. Tom Hill is a "finder." He finds more things than everyone else here combined. Bull pups, setter dogs, watches, everything lost finds its way to Tom's hands. He has a "big, black hare" now which he kotched" in his back yard. The owner can get it by seeing Tom and tipping him. Capt. Roberts took occasion to re prove some boisterous little pages this morning and one of them was very impudent to him. The boys sould be made to behave or should be kept within the houses, one or the other. Deputy collector W. F. Gibson re ports to collector Simmons the seizure and destruction, near Carver in Moore county, o' a 60-gallon illicit copper distillery and an outfit, with 340 gal lons of beer and 34 of spirits.

"That wa a running borne" said revenue clerk Steed yesterday after noon, as he perused a letter from a deputy collector. His surprised ex clamation, accompanied at the same time by a meditative whistle, thor oughly awoke the office; Major Black nail stopped his musings and turned sharply in his chair and the sudden cessation of the rhythmical click of Mr. Boyden's blount pen awoke the office boy, who was soundly asleep on Mr. Brown's cushioned seat. Some thing unusual had occurred in the office and the officials were anxious to know the reason why. "What do yon think," said Steed, "of a horse that ran 27 miles of his own ac ord. And it was a revenue horse, too, ac tually running from a moonshiner. If you don't believe it, 'with the air of one afraid of being contradicted, look at the letter." That was ..hat the document said and it couldn't be doubted for it came from deputy i'roy, a terror to moonshiners and a second cousin to Goorge Washington, taking the veracity standard. But the letter was of great iuterest in other ways, also. Here is the substance of it : On Wednesday deputy Troy and posse left Carthage, in Moore county to hunt for the still of a notorious moonshiner, William Richardson. They found two big stills and were destroying beer when Richardson, who had escaped, appeared with five or six friends, armed to the teeth. They saw that they had been seen by the deputies, however, and did not fire but, going away, fell upon the deputy iruardingjthe buggies, named Scott, whom they overpowered. They then tied him in the buggy and whipped his horse and the one attached to the other buggy, causing them to run away. Deputy Scott was found af terwards lying under the buggy badly injured, a mile distant from the place. The horse was entangled in the harness and also badly hurt. The other horse did not quit running un til 27 miles from the scene of hostili ties and only stopped at all on ac count of reaching a deep creek. The deputies followed the trail, by bits of buggy, for a whole day before find ing him. The moonshiners next day severely beat a Mr. Morris, whom they thought was the informer. None of the moonshiners were cap tured but the distilling apparatus is in jail at Carthage. classTegislation. An Extremist MeasurejAbout Mortgages Passes the Senate. A bill has been passed through the senate giving mortgagors the time of two years in which to redeem their mortgages. Strange to say the bill, which is an extreme populist measure, and one calculated to do mortgagees and, iudirectly, the mortgagors great injury, passed the senate almost with out opposition. Lawyers who .-had heard of its passage weiemuch stirred up about the matter this morning. A Visitor reporter talked with several and they all agreed that the bill was an extreme measure of class legislation in favor of farmers. It will do incalculable harm,-they say, both to the mortgagor and mortagee. If the bill passes it well have the effect of making the holders of mortgages uneasy and they will foreclose imme ately in anticipation of the saving two years "clause. All such legislation simply tends to create suspicion and distrust between the lenders and bor rowers of money. It passed the sen ate probably because it was rushed through. It was said this morning that the bill had been acted on in a fusion caucus but this a well posted populist denied. THE WEATHER The Conditions and the Fore , cast.

And On Account of This J. W. Allen is in Jail Story of a Mortgaged Mule. This afternoon J. W. Allen, a white farmer who has an honest and intel lighest looking face, was brought here from Middle Creek township and put in jail. The committment was made out by J. D. Ballentine, justice of the peace, and charges Allen with disposing of mortgaged property, which is about the same thing as lar ceny. If Allen's tale is true, how ever, he is a much persecuted man. This is the story of his woes: Some time ago he purchased a mule from a neighbor giving a mortgage as security. A provision of the sales however was that Allen could pay the purchase money by hauling his neigh bor lumber at so much a load. This was a satisfactory arrangement as he could thus make the mule pay for himself. Allen hauled many loads and, having kept au account, finally paid for the mule, according to his figures. He had reached the conclu sion that in these times of financial troubles a little money was better than a heap of mule, so he sold the animal. But the original seller had a different account of the lumber transaction and had Allen arrested. So that is why he is in jail. His neighbors give him a good char acter and he will doubtless soon be free on bail. SEED IRISH POTATOES. Fine New Orleans Molasses. Old Fash' , ion Country Sorghum.
