One was dismissed, the other required to pay a fine of two dollars and cost. We call attention to Geo. Allen & Co. 'g new advertisement for lime, cement, etc. This old, reliable firm keeps first-class goods in every line of their business. We call the attention of truckers to the card of Robert Froer & Co., of Philadelphia, which appears in this issue. Mr, Froer is in the city and will doubtless guarantee satisfactory re turns for all produce consigned to him. The large hardware and crockery establishment of Giles & Murchison, of Wilmington, was destroyed by fire on Monday evening last. The stock, says the Star, was valued at $40,000 to $50, 000, very little of which was saved Insurance $30,000. - Wade Hampton has been arrested for robbing the mail, as was also Frank , Blackwell. . The Senator from South Carolina is not involved, however, as it is only an unworthy namesake at Coun cil Bluffs, Iowa, and Blackwell is from Kansas City, Missouri, both postal clerks. ' ' , , ' The sound of the fire bell at about 3 ' 'clock yesterday evening brought out the fire department and many citizens who took a dog trot around to ex-Mayor Howard's mill which caught fire on the roof, it is supposed from a spark. The prompt use of buckets made it unneces sary for the engines to get to, work. The University of Virginia is the happy recipient of an observatory with , a powerful telescope, all the liberal do nation of Leander J. McCormick, of Chicago, costing $76,000. It is on the Bite of one built by Thomas Jefferson in 1825 and taken away in 1856. ' The directorship is endowed with $50,000 from Virginia, Boston, New York, Phil adelphia and Baltimore. We are indected to R. Berry, Esq., for a delicious cup of cocoa, prepared by one of our lady readers who gives it , high praise for its digestible qualities. This is a new preparation and is called ''Phillip's Digestible Cocoa," heretofore known as "Phosphated Cocoa with Pancieation." The flavor is delicious and it is said to be one of the beBt rem' edies for debility and waste of tissue. We heartily recommend it not only to invalids but well people. 'Perianal. ..

This publication is accomplishing much good through its bildness and untiring energy in expos ing the humbugs and frauds that infest the land. Tax Delinquent. We insert to-day Collector Bell's de linquent list and it is gratifying to see that it has shortened up since last week. And it is still further gratifying to know that the collector, by the exercise of due diligence, hasmade the first published list considerable shorter than heretofore. The Hew New-Central. Mr. Moses Patterson has opened the hotel formerly known as the Bateman House, under the name of the New Central Hotel, and yesterday not only seryed a Bumptuous dinner to his guest, but also sent his omnibus around and bade them come in. Mr. Patterson is adding improvements to the building and is determined to make all who pat ronize him feci at home. A Valuable Helle. Mr. Hugh Lovick has shown us a sword which was presented to Lieut. John D. Clark, by the citizens of Beau fort county, for his gallantry in the war with Mexico, and especially for his par ticipation in the assault on El Morino Del Rey. Lieut. Clark was the uncle of Mrs. Lovick, and the sword has been for a long time in the custody of her mother, at whose death, which occurred recent ly, it, together with the saddle of the Lieutenant, has passed into the keeping of Mrs. Lovick as a cherished heirloom and lasting memorial of her gallant relative. . Lieut. Clark graduated at West Point in the class of 1840. A Terrible Disaster In New Torh. Eight five-story brick buildings not completed fell with a fearful crash in New York on Tuesday last with about fifty workmen engaged in and on them The roofs had just been put on, the buildings discovered unsafe and the force was at work trying to strengthen them, when the tumble came. Thirteen persons were injured, but not fatally; while rumor had from eight to twenty buried beneath the ruins. The work had been done during the winter regardless of the cold weather and mortar made of mud in stead of sand, are said to be the cause The police were after the builder while the firemen and others were claring away the debris in search of the unfor tunate victims. New Schedule For Hyde. The new schedule for the Elm City to Hyde county and intermediate points is the best ever adopted for this boat, All that is lacking now is to have it made a mail route. The roundabout way in which the mails are carried from here to Hyde is very annoying to those who have business with the people of that county. A merchant here can communicate with New York and get an answer bofore a letter by the usual route reaches Lake Landing, Middleton or Fairfield. We have so often alluded to this matter that we have almost con eluded that it is time wasted to mention it, but the constant dropping of water will tell on a stone after awhile. If our merchants have tried for a direct mail route by steamer from here to Lake Landing and other points around Mata- muskeet Lake and failed, they should try again. The steamer has been mak ing regular trips once a week for nearly a year and has now made a schedule doubling the trips, making two a week, and why not the mail be carried by this route, which would put it at Lake Land ingin less than twenty-four hours in stead of gbing by way of Washington and be, as it sometimes is, eight or ten days in reaching there. The commercial relations existing between this city and the people of Hyde county demands better mail facilities, and the people of New Berne and that county should not let tne postomce department rest until they nave secured it. A New Day of Issue for "The Century.'' The editions of The Century Magazine are now so large that it has become necessary either to go to press at an ear lier date or to postpone the day of issue. The latter alternative has been accept ed, me Apru numoer, tne edition 01 which was 225,000, was delayed until the 25th of March. The May number- edition, 250,000 will be issued on the 1st day of May,' thus inaugurating with the first number of the thirtieth volume a change which has long been considered desirable by the publishers, and which it is believed will be heartily commend ed by the public. Future numbers of The Century Magazine will be issued on the 1st day of the month of which each bears date. - ? , . A Card. It is with pleasure I express myself under many oDiigauons to the Fire De partment and other people who, in re sponse to the alarm of fire yesterday, came with such haste to my relief, and I hereby tender them sincere thanks for services so kindly and promptly ren dered, XHOS. . Howard. Editor Journal: The future dispo sition of the A. & N. C. R. R. is a ques tion tuat is now agitating the minds of a few persons in this community; their motives we will not question, as they have never been made known to the people; but it is their judgment we now arraign, as they seek to leave a popula tion of over sixty thousand people to the tender mercies of a grinding monopoly, known as the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad. It appears to ns that if they have the welfare of even this town at heart, they will change their tactics and try to make some arrangement by which we will be enabled to carry out a long cherished State policy, viz. . trading with the West. As an old citizen, we do not feel like standing idly by and see our steamboat lines destroyed, pur machine shops removed, and our whole commu nitv at the mercv of a f oreitrn cornora- tion. Any man must be bereft of the little brains God has given him, who would for a moment believe that the W. & W. Road would consider the wel fare of this people; and that they would not force over their road the entire freights that now come this way for shipment. The only motive they have in leasing is to carry out iust such a project, ana if tney could be prevented tn so aomg, tneywouia not have this road under any circumstances. As to any promise they may make, or any guarantees thoy may offer, they would not be worth the paper they would be printed on. Railroads now control our State legislation, and how long, we ask, will it be ere they will control our courts? - Their corrupting influences are now permeating our en tire body politic. We think it a great reflection on the mental and business capacity of our people, that any person should deem it necessary to go to Wil mington for a supply of brains to enable us to run a railroad. South Front. WASHINGTON GOSSIP. April 15, 1885. For different reasons Mr. Cleve land's young administration is an interesting stndy. . To the thought ful observer, it is the most interest ing Administration that has been seen since Gen. Grant first became President. Mr. Cleveland is not only a new President, and the first Democratic President for twenty lour years, but he came into office as the antagonist of a large section ot his own party, and his appoint ments are subjected to the approval oi a itepuolican senate. In his five weeks course Mr, Cleveland has shown himself as free from the commonplace as are his surroundings. He has been a law unto himself, original and inde pendent. He is a President whose acts cannot be predicted. He has amused some by letting great com missions of the Government fall in out of the way places. Others he has bewildered, others disgusted. It cannot be said that he has shown perfect judgment, but it is probably not too much to say, that even with his mistakes he has strengthened himself with the public in the past lew weeks. Before his inauguration, confi dent predictions were made that in the vortex of Washington politics, he would soon sink out of sight, with all ot his plans and his indi viduality completely wrecked. But this has not been the history of the past five weeks. Mr. Cleveland has influence with the Administra tion, exerts it, and gives no evi dence yet of breaking down. The President and his Cabinet are being closely watched by the Republican managers, particularly those who are close to Mr. Blaine, and they are disposed to make the most of the dissatisfaction in the Democratic . ranks. The other day a Republican Congressman con gratulated a Democratic Senator on having a President who pleased both Republicans and Democrats. "Is it your opinion that everybody is pleased?-- asked the Senator. "My opinion is," replied the other, "jhat Mr. Cleveland is going to give a very good administration for the country, but a very bad one for his party." "He has made up his mind to resist party pressure and refuse to recognize party claims. This will meet the approval of the people, but will bring about a party disruption.'' For the most part Republican officeholders here are in excellent humor, because they are still in office, with the prospect 01 noiaing on lor a good while. Other Republicans applaud Mr. Cleveland, because they think that what he is doing as well as what he is not doing, will help their party. There has been no political aetion of consequence during the past week. The Administration is at present making up its mind concern' ing some rather important appoint ments, among which are several that will change very decidedly the personnel of the Treasury Depart ment uureaus. In view of the constant pressure upon his time the President has determined to discontinue his daily receptions to the public in the East Room of , the White House. He has been in the habit of receiving business callers from 10 until 12:30 o'clock, and then enduring a hand shaking ordeal. . He had hoped that the crowds of callers would decrease as the fourth of March receded, but finding himself mistaken in this idea, he feels compelled to put an end to this encroachment upon his time. On Saturday Postmaster Pearson called at the White House to ex press his gratitude for the confi dence which the President had shown in re-appointing him. He was followed by a delegation of colored people, who called to invite Mr. Cleveland to review their pro cession on Thursday, Emancipation day, and to be present at other ex ercises for which preparations have been in progress for several weeks. They presented an address wel coming the President to the Capi tol in the name of 70,000 colored people, and asking equal rights throughout the United States. Mr. Cleveland listened attentively to their address, promised to review their procession, and, if possible, attend their entertainment in the evening, when Frederick Douglas will be the orator, and exrSenator Bruce, colored, the presiding officer. Just as the delegation was leav ing! the President called their attention to an article published in the colored organ, the Bee, just after the election, which stated that "it would cost millions ot lives to inaugurate President Cleve land." "I hope'' said he, "the colored citizens of the District will not allow themselves to be influ enced by the editors of such sheets as this." The day they propose to commemorate is the 23d anniver sary of the abolition of slavery in the District ot Columbia. The Latest War News. London, April 14. Dispatches from Shanghai, received this afternoon, state that there is a hitch in the final arrange ments for the execution of the definitive treaty of peace between France and China, owing to some concessions which China asks and which M. Patenotre, the French ambassador, refuses to grant. London, April 145 p. M. The cab inet has been summoned to an imme diate council, in consequence of the receipt by the government of further important dispatches in regard to the Afghan question. The cabinet was in session one hour and twenty minutes. Immediately after its adjournment Earl Granville, secre tary of state for foreign affairs, had a prolonged interview with Musurus Pasha, Turkish ambassador, and Fehmi Pasha, special envoy from Turkey. Lloyd's insurance premiums on bot toms for the Black sea, sea of Azof and the Baltic sea, have been doubled. Seventy thousand animals for the transport service in the Indian army are proceeding to Pisheen. The harbor of Bombay has been lined with torpedoes so as to prevent the Russian fleet from entering it in the event of war, and 8,000,000 cartridges have been landed at Bombay. London, April 14. The Standard complains of the delay caused by com municating with Sir Peter Lumsden. The government, it says, ought to de pend upon its own accounts of events and to ignore the accounts of Russian officers, which are 6ure to contradic English accounts. While we are col lecting evidence Russia is pushing her troops forward. TJrhappily there is nothing in the news from Russia to in dicate.that a collision will be avoided. Preparations for war continue with increasing yigor. A force of extra workmen has been engaged at the Chat ham dockyard to-day. Take Sine's Syrup of Tar for coughs and colds. Only 25c. For sale by R.

But we'll agree to give you For this your entrance fee, A pretty cup and saucer For your coffee or your tea. Or a tiny little basket, To hold a knitting ball, Or banner fixed on rollers To hang against the wall. Or every one for asking Can have a paper fan, China box, to hold pomatum, Or hair pins from Japan. For a single dime apiece We'll admit the girls and boys For whom there'll be a table Of china-ware and toys. All these are gifts we make you And in return you'll buy From yet another table Fancy articles not high. Little teapots made with strainers, And big ones made without, Some with handles made of willow, Some with handles like a spout. Little tea sets for two people, Bowls for eating bread and milk, And parasols of paper As pretty as of silk. Of course you'll take some oysters If you a supper make, Cold turkey chicken salad Or syllabub and sake. For these you must pay extra, And we'll politely say Wo only give the tea cups, Don't take the spoons away! By Japanese young ladies Attended you may sup, While gentlemen in costume Will take your plate or cup. But if you are too lazy To venture out at night, Just send along your money And we'll fix you up all right. For a bill of fare well send you That will gratify your wishes, But, like the spoons, remember We will not give the dishes. But you'd better come in person, For the frolic and fun We cannot send on waiters, As suppers may be done. So come and do your duty, Don't leavo us in the lurch, But do your best at eating To benefit the church. BENJ. W. DAVIS, Commission Merchant AND (SHIPPER OF BANANAS.)
