Boyd gives notice of in surance. He is a reliable gentleman and represents none but safe companies. , The damage to Mr. W. G. Bryan's store by the wind sometime since has been repaired and the front newly painted. Rev. A. D. Betts, of Trenton, called to S3e us yesterday. He is hopeful that Trenton will vote for Prohibition on the 1st Monday in June. Mr. M.H. Sultan asks a very pertinent question in his new advertisement. Those interested should read and govern themselves accordingly. ' Swert says he will swin out more stall fed beef today. He seems to think we all want something good to eat for Sunday if no other time. The change of gauge begun yesterday morning immediataly on the arrival of the train from Morehead City and was completed to Havelock. Today the ' work will be continued to Morehead City. -A case of borrowing a silk dress and ' gold bracelets, without permission, by - a small servant, was before the Mayor yesterday, and the matter was duly ar bitrated by the mother's agreeing to - put on a liberal flogging. Seveial large boxes were in front of H. B. Duffy's store yesterday filled with goods ready for shipment to a country merchant. Country merchants will find It to their Interest to examine the stocks of our wholesale merchants in this city before going North. They buy immense quantities and can supply the trade on most favorable terms. Mr. George Ash is a man of taste and good judgment in the selection of goods. He has opened a store next door to Cut ler's on Middle street and in making his announcement tackles the question of depreciated currency and tells what his goods are . worth and what he will sell them at. The expected services at the M. E. Church were not held last night for OiUBes reported elsewhere in this issue by (hpaator. The occurrence is to be regretted as the series of sermons by Rev. Mr. Crawford on the last six days work of the Saviour while on earth were very interesting and attracted large crowds. He will continue the series in the Presbyterian church on Sunday morning..

The effort to make and preserve a complete list of the North Carolinians who served the State- in that memorable conflict is ti commend able one on the part of th General As? ftembly, but the present roster is so in correct that it is not really of much value. With the aid of this, however, a correct list or at least pne far more correct than the present,! of each com piny can be made, and should be done while there is some one living who can do.it. There is doubtless some one cf every company still living who can take the present roster and make up nearly a correct list, and we hope the matter will be brought to the attention of the next General Assembly, .with the view of hoving a revised and correct roster made. Protect the Walls and Fence.. There is a habit among boys or thoughtless persons in this city of defac ing and injuring the fences and walls around private lots, that ought to be broken up. We have heard of several instances, some of them recently, where new fences have been scarred with a hatchet or knife, and when newly painted the paint is hardly dry before some thoughtless scrub has daubed it with dirt, besmeared it with tobacco spittle or otherwise marred its appear ance. Neat fences and walls are not only gratifying to the owners of property but they add greatly to the appearance of the city, and we think it the duty of every good citizen, whether he owns a lot or not, to aid in breakipg up this wanton and injurious practice. Let every one who has a pride in the appear ance) of the city watch for the offenders. If a mischievous boy, take him before his parents and see that he is properly dealt with; if a thoughtless man, take him before the proper authorities and let him pay the penalty. Pensions Allowed. The following persons of Oiiblow county have been allowed pensions un der an Act of the General Assembly, ratified March 11th, A.

Some senti ment was caused yesterday by the ar rival of twelve men, six of whom were armed with needle guns, and who had the other six in charge as prisoners. The captives were implicated in the murder of Ben Wilson, which occurred on Indian Creek, this county, on April The prisoners were in charge or tf. A. and J. R. Wilson of Bell county, brothers, of the murdered man, and Cal vin Cummings, Sam Hicker, John In man and Sam Vanever of Whitby coun ty.

On their way to the- scene of the murder they picked up four friend a, and swooped down upon the six murderers unawares, capturing them without any trouble. - - - - Fresh wounds and cuts can be healed by a few applications of Salvation Oil.

Accusations of the engagement cf President Cleveland to Miss Folsom, a pretty Buffalo belle, are numerous. Under the present administration there has been a reduction of 227 in the clerical force of the Treasury Depart ment, resulting in an annual saving of $332,600. The Legislators of Connecticut have unanimously passed a resolution ex pressing sympathy with Ireland in her struggle for Home Rule, and indorsing Parnell and Gladstone. The car drivers on some of the lines in Baltimore are on a strike. There has been but little disturbance so far, though a general strike is 1 feared. They say they wish to do no violence but want better pay for their twelve hours labor. At last divers have been able to make a thorough examination of the sunken steamship Oregon. Some of them re mained down over half an hour and state the sinking was caused un doubtedly by collision. On the side of tho vessel ten feet below main deck a hole six feet deep and three feet long waB found. The heavy iron plating was crushed in almost to the bridge like an egg shell and she was broken in two. A diagram of the vessel as she now lies is being made and work to rescue her cargo will at once com mence.

Congressional Work. Senate April 14. The chair laid be fore the Senate a letter from Senator Jackson saying that ho had accepted the lennessee judgeship, and his seat in the Senate had therefore become vacant. He requests the President pro tern of the Senate to so inform the Governor of Tennessee The chair also laid before the Senate a memorial from tho Wool Growers' Convention, held at St. Louis, complaining of the proposition to place wool on the free list. Referred. Mr. Gorman reported favorably from the Committee on Commeice a bill to construct a first-class light ship and es tablish it off the entrance to Chesapeake nay. ihe ship is to cost not to exceed ,000, and is to have a steam fog sig nal, and to be built in the American shipyard. Ihe bill was at once passed. Mr. Butler then addressed the Senate in support of the open executive cession resolution. After a careful examination of the subject he had reached the con clusion that the rules providing for secret sessions ought to be abrogated, and there never was a time when the abrogation of those rules was made so plain as at present. His (Mr. Butler's) experience in the Senate convinced him that there was no use and no necessity for secret sessions, except, perhaps, in considering treatises with foreign na tions. The Senate of the United States was the only legislative body in the world, except, one, that now had any provisions for secret sessions. At the conclusion of Mr. Butler's speech Mr. Logan gave notice he would ask to be heard after the morning busi ness tomorrow on the subject of open executive sessions. Mr Riddleberger submitted as a sub stitute for the pending resolution re lating to executive sessions, a resolution providing "that all matters. other than those relating to treatises should be con sidered and acted upon by the Senate in open session." On motion of Mr. Blair, the Senate took up the bill reported by him from the committee on pensions lor the re lief of soldiers of the war honorably dis charged after six months' service, who are disabled and dependent upon their own labor for support, and of depend ent relatives of soldiers who died in service or from disabilities contracted therein." The amount the bill would add to the pension liabilities of the Goverment, as nearly as Mr. Blair had been' able to turn an estimate, ' would not be more than $25,000,000. . The bill included, he said, every, soldier who having been honorably discharged from the army was now suffering from disability and was besides dependent on his own labor for support. There was a very strong feeling throughout the country. Mr. Blair said, that something like justice should be done to the class of persons who would be benefited by this bill. - Mr.- Van Wyck submitted an amend ment providing that no soldiers pension Under this act should be less than a a month.. At 2 d. m. the matter went over for today and the Interstate Commerce bill was laid before the Senate. . Senators Cullom and Palmer spoke in favor of the Interstate Commerce bill. At 6:20 the Senate adjourned. House, The House resumed the con sideration of the Hurd-Romeia contested election case. " Mr. Hale (la.) declared that he bad reached the conclusion that there bad been no legal election in Tenth District of Ohio. -; . ' Mr. Ely (Mass.) supported the claim! of the sitting member. Romeis. Mr. Green (N. C.) denounced the Re publican side of the House for deciding election cases on party grounds. - Mr. Pettibone maintained that no re liance could be placed unon Mr. Gerst mann, Mr. Hurd's principal witness. Mr. Breckenridee (Kv.l made a strong speech, in which he endeavored to point out that Mr. Romeis was not entitled to the seat. The floor was then accorded Mr. Hurd, the contestant, to SDeak in his own be half. He reviewed the election in a very eloquent manner, occupying just one hour, and at the conclusion of his remarks received lone-continued an. plause from the Democratic side of the House. Mr. Turner (Ga.l sDoke in suDDort of the majority report and dwelt upon the necessity of the House deciding election cases without partisan bias. The vote was taken on the resolution of the minority declanner Romeis is not en titled to his seat. Defeated yeas 105, nays 168. Ihe maioritv resolutions, confirming Mr. Romeis' right to the seat, were agreed to without division. There was then a contest for precedence over the consideration of the appropriation bills. Mr. Willis (Ky.) in charge of the River and Harbor bill, steered it around the obstructions presented by the Military Academy and the Consular and Diplo matic Appropriation bills, but his course was delayed when the obstruction of the Agricultural Appropriation bill was reached. The delay, however, was but temporary, for in half an hour the latter was taken up and passed. ihe only discussion of the measure arose over an amendment offered by Mr. Price (Wis.), proposing the reduc tion of the emplovees in the Department of Agriculture. This gave Mr. Skinner (IN. (J.) a chance, of which he availed himself, to attack the Commissioner of Agriculture for retaining in office "Re publican pets. " who did not come under the Civil Service rules. Ihe River and Harbor Armronriation bill was then taken up and left as un finished business, when, at 5 p. m., the House adjourned. Notice To the Members of Centenary Meth odist Congregation of New Berne: On Friday morning, the lGth instant. while work was being done on the win dows, a section of tne moulding over head gave way and fell. On examina tion it was deemed best to have all the moulding over head taken down at once so as to prevent furlhsr uneasiness and risk. In consequence the series of meetings now in progress will be suspended and the church closed for a few days until the work is completed. ihe tilth sermon of the series, "The Trial and Execution of Jesus" will be delivered in the Presbyterian Church at 11 o clock on Sunday ; the Methodist and Presbyterian congregations uniting. L. W. Crawford. confirmations made known. Washington, April 14. Eiehteen Collectors of Internal Revenue in seven different States were confirmed by the Senate on March 29th; but the an nouncement has been held back on a motion to reconsider, and which was withdrawn today. Only one was in the South, that of W. H. Yarborough, of the Fourth North Carolina district. Saved Ilia Lire. Mr. D. I. Wilcoxson, of Horse Cave, Ky., says he was, for many years, badly afllicted with Phthisic, also Diabetes: the pains were almost unendurable and would sometimes almost throw him into convulsions. He tried Electric Bitters and got relief from first bottle, and after taking six bottles was entirely cured and had gained in flesh eighteen pounds, says he positively believes be would have died, had it not been for the.'relief afforded bv Electric Bitters.
