Park Hotel, 1 RaJeieh. March. 5. .-! Little else was talked about to-day are ine row m ue noose. Tour cor. respondent, wbo has reported the pro ceedings : there since 1877, never saw anything comparable -to ft. - A street snob would be a polite gathering by a cor, even, would ' nave caused a general fight. - . The supporters of the lease say that - Acting Speaker Cook's rating was unjust.- They pTocUUm this aloud. The proceedings te-day unauestionably in . tensifled the feeling against' Governor KusseB on the part of the Republicans. The bolters said so openly. A Republican declared: "Russell has. besides the two Buttons and Hancock and Alexander, only two supporters Sharps of Iredell and Cannon." The Senate- fixes the license tax on Insurance companies at $200 for fire an accident and $150 for life. , There is "a ring within a ring" of the bolting Populists. So Abemethy tells nee. He says he Is not admitted Into . their secrets. McCaskey, the chairman of the bolters, is to get, as his piece of pie the place of manager of the State farms on the Roanoke, and Reinhardt, of Catawba, gets the farm at Wadesboro. Every mother's on oil the 21 bolters is to have his 'stomach filled. The scene in the justices' office last evening during the trial of Lieutenant Governor Reynolds and Speaker Hile man. at the instane of Arborvitae L. 8rlnsan, and was ludicrous in the ex treme. The gravity of the brace of justices, the eager looks of the black row of darkeys who filled the rear of the haft, the evidence and the appear, ance of the participants, were the fea tures. It Is said that the Lieutenant Governor was a little frightened and rattled by the arrest. His friends ral lied hi in a good deal. Sutton, of New Hanover, says he can be mayor of Wilmington if he wants the place. He has his eye on the sixth district congressional chair, too. . Representative Bailey,' of ravie, said to-day:; "There are two bills I have been thinking of introducing. I don't know Which one I will Introduce first. One is o repeal every bill that has been .. 4 J .Wl. T I I tmn other is to sell the capitol and rent out the penitentiary and go home. I'll swear I never saw anything like it." It is learned to-night that the mag istrates who yesterday tried the case against Lieutenant Governor Reynolds and Speaker Hlleman for breaking into the office of the enrotKng clerk will dis miss the case, and discharge Reynolds. Hlleman was discharged last evening. A web-known Republican informs me that Governor Russell drew the bilHhouse, and yet not require any great which was introduced in the Legisla ture two years ago to place the North Carolina Railroad in the bands of Geo. W. S mat hers, as State proxy. The Governor to-day commissioned John R. Smith superintendent of the penitentiary, and he takes charge to morrow. It is said .to-night by people who surely know that the directors of the North Carolina Railroad will ratify the 38 year lease. There was all sorts of talk this afternoon and evening about what may happen in the House to-morrow. Some said it was not believed' that there would be a quorum. Others said it was the plan to load down the lease hi 13 with amendments. RECEIVED BY McKISLKT. The Members ef Gov. RaaseU'. Staff, by Special Appointment, Meet the Presi dent H Inuirea for Gov.

The lumber was valued at $25,000; insurance $18,000. The loss from the destruction of the machinery and wharves cannot be learned owing to the absence of the president of the South Norfolk Company, but it will probably reach 2S,000 more. lea Called.

Furnishing a Home. Make vour home cosy. Every home should be brightened occasionally by a new piece of furniture. Few families can afford to refurnish their house, but if a new piece were added every now and then the whole house would be con stantly marked by its new furniture. Is it now about urns you repiacea some of the old furniture by some new and beautiful pieces? If you wait a year or so longer you will have to buy a lot at once. Don't do this. Begin now by adding a piece or two, then a little later another piece, and before you know It you will have a complete suite, and the beauty and comfort of your home will oe greatly enhanced. Do you really want a cosy home? If you do we are in a position to help you to furnish it, eith er elegantly or modestly, at minimum prices. Of course it costs money, but then our system of easy payments en ables you to pay for it weekly or monthly, and you never miss what you have spent in beautifying your home. Brick by brick is the way the largest buildings are erected, and dollar by dol lar is the way you can furnish your effort to accomplish this. The place to buy it and be treated ngnt is at tne PIEDMONT FURNITURE CO'S., No. 17 West Trade street. WE Wash Your Clothes WHITE AND CLEAN. We do not "apittie" all over them to make them look glossy.
