Hot as hinges here; that is what we called it when It got up to 104 yesterday, and today re minds of the 2d and 3d of July, 1863. thirty-seven years ago. My old rag ged Regiment, the. Sixth N. C, and a hnndfuli ot two of a few other South ern regiments, went over to Gettys Burg, Pa., on a visit. Not being invit ed by the Federal army, we were in sulted, because we shoved rocks from the wall fence on them while they were in. hiding on the other side of the' rock fence; y We broke their lines. They ran like rabbits, making their way through the town of Gettysburg the best they could. We. followed with fixed bayonets until about four or five hundred yards east of the town, when we halted to rest for the next set in the open field. The weather was clear and bright. Our leader said lie down; we did so, and as fiat aa a lizard, but what should we do then; we could not raise our heads three inches; the minnle balls were whizzing like shaking huckleberries from a bush;, our .faces were flat on the ground; the sun waa so hot on us, instead of the thermometer mak ing 104 jt appeared as if it was 401. We toughed It out .that day. That evening about sun-t-et we concluded to go -over to the bill near by to the ball. We crossed two- more rock fences and shoved more rocks off to get everything out of our way. Final ly we went on the Heights.: There was a line of cannons which appeared to be as thick aa your fingers on your hand, and they were all pointing to wards us. We did not like the way things were going on there, and after the ball waa over concluded to go back to Dixie. The weather being so very warm we left, for Dixie about one o'clock that night, so as to travel aome In the cool part of the day. The 21st of July will be thirty-nine years since our first battle of Manassas, or Bull Run. That was another scorch er. If hot weather is conaidered. I still have my old army belt I wore during those days. Money could not buy It, ' ' f . : '-, " Yours, Ae., v V W. n. LYOX. Goldsboro, July 5, 1000. , . BOARD OF ALDERMEN FIQHT OVER BKIVER OF RESCUE CO'S. WAQ0N Cbijef Mahler Names Mr. Hinnant and J the Company Petition the Board. - The board of aldermen will meet in regular monthly session tonight. However, the weather has had" its ef fect on the city fathers, and they are BOt anxious to remain in session many hours such a night as this. Chair man Jones of the. finance committee twild thut committee would have not li mp except mere routine business to present. Chairman Drewry, of the street committee, is expected hack in time for, tonight's meeting. 'Evidence has been heard oii the charges against Mr. Tom Medlin, overseer of some of the street, hands, and the committee may report in this matter. The Rescue lire Company will to night memorialize the board of alder men in regard to the appointment of a driver of the Rescue wagon. Mr. Joe Creighton was driver of the wag on but. he was removed and Chief of the Fire Department Mahler appoint ed Mr. J. A. Hinnant driver. Mr. Hin nant in considered a good man for the place, but he is not the man that the Rescue Company appear to want. They desired that Mr. Lassiter. who has been sub-driver under Creigh ton, be appointed instead of Mr. Hin nant. In other words Chief Mahler wants Hinnant. and the company want. Lassiter. and the members of the com pany will tonight petition the board of aldermen to give them Lassiter. The matter will probably lie referred t othe fire committee, of which Alder man Joseph Correll is chairman, for investigation. WILMINGTON VS.

' Apropos of baseball the Observer understands thnt Mr. S. B. Alexander, Jr., of this city, will be the president of the North Carolina Baseball Asso ciation. After Mr. George Stephens declined to accept the presidency, some of the other officials of the as sociation have been considering the question of filling the vacant office. As the retirement of Mr. Stephens leaves Charlotte without official rep resentation on the board it has been deemed advisable to select a presi dent, from this city, and Mr. Alexander haa been the first and only man men tioned for the place. The manager of the Staesvllle team, and Mr. Miller, the manager of the Charlotte team, of course, have signified their pleas ure in voting for Mr. Alexander, and it is presumed here that he will be elected unanimously.

London, July . Although - the nuiny wim rumors irom ine lar easr i are contradictory in most points yet they continue unanimous as to the consnmation of the horrible tragedy at Pekin. It is now stated that, the soldiery butchered five thousand na tive Catholic converts at the capital. , The news comes in a Shnnghai dis-' patch, dated July 5th, and adds that, confirmation of these reports is given out, by respectable tlunese from Chi an Fu who describe I'ekin as an infer no, the streets literally running with blood. They confirm the numerous stories of executions and torturesi of isolated foreigners. Some of the En-j ropean soldiers were captured by the ' mob led by Yung Lu, who advocated I moderation, but the soldiers were completely wiped out of existence by , Tuun Tung Yi and Tung Full Sian, who issued fresh edicts ordering a merciless extermination of all for eigners in the empire.

Mr. ..drier-' is a missionary of the Southern Presbyterian Church and a brother-in-law of Rev. Mr. , White, of i the A. R. P. Church, of Griffith's!. !

When Mrs. Moore wrote she had heard noth ing of the Boxer troubles. Chuchu Fu is 80 miles to the northward from Chin Kiang, and the only, hope- that, the little party of missionaries there have reached a. safe port is that they may have been warned by some na tive runner, it being reported in The Observer's dispatches some time ago.' that these runners hod been sent, out ; to call in the missionaries in the sta tions of the Yank Tse valley. The insurrection has not broken out there but. it. seems to be smould ering and the viceroys, it is said, may not be nble much longer to maintain peace.
