A box containing sixty-five books, presented Jo the Graded School Library by Prof.' Edward Graham Daves, has been received. This is the third collec tion of books Prof. Daves has sent, and we are' sure his kindness is fully ap preciated by the good people of New Berne. The lines on the Presbyterian picnic were sent us several days ago, but the proceedings of the Medical Society caused them to be laid aside at the time and they were oxerlooked for a day or two. We dOubt not they will be read with interest by the children and others who attended. An enthusiastic listener to W. W. .Clark, Esq., while he was vigorously prosecuting Cooper & Harrell for keep ing a disorderly house yesterday was requested to deposite twenty dollars with the clerk of the court, which he did very gracefully. People have a right to think while attending court, but they must not think loud. The M. E.

Uw. - "Taxpayer" in a communication pub lished elsewhere demands that the coun ty treasurer be compelled to conform to the law in regard to posting his month ly statements of , receipts and disburse ments of county funds. ; Fiom what we know, personally of the treasurer of Craven county, and the esteem in which he is held by the peo ple of New Berne and the county, we have not the least doubt that on exami nation of his accounts will show that they are all right and that he stands - perfectly fair and square with the ' county. But the humblest taxpayer in tbe county has a right to insist on obe- ' dience to this law. . If it is a bad law, or an unnecessary law, the General As sembly should repeal it, . and the. best way to bring it to the attention ' of the General Assembly is to enforce it. V For a county officer to continually .neglect to comply with -a law after his atten tion has been repeatedly called to it, is. to say the least, setting a bad example, Chattel mort??ee and Lien Bonds for sale at this oiiice. - ; The Saperlor Court. Court convened yesterday morning promptly at 9:15 o'clock. The follow ing cases were disposed of: State vs. Albert Jones and Francis Jones; larceny; nol pros as to Albert jury not agreed as to Francis. State vs. M. Hahn, Sheriff; allowing prisoners to escape. The defendant asked for continuance upon the ground that a material witness was absent. The State insisted on a trial. IK U m art filed an affidavit for continuance : ic un sel for the State admitted the cfli lnvit for tbe purposes of the trial. While the jury was being called, defendants counsel moved to quash the bill of in dictment upon the ground that one of the grand jurors who found the bill had a civil suit pending in the court when he was sworn as a grand juror. Upon examination of the records, the motion was allowed. The ineligible grand juror was discharged and a new bill immediately sent before that body The juror was a co-defendant in a suit brought in 1881, in which there were over one hundred other defendants and had forgotten all about it when sworn as a grand juror. State vs. Harrell & Cooper; disorderly house; not guilty. State vs. Harrell & Cooper; selling liquor on Sunday; not guilty. A motion to tax prosecutors with cost was denied.

Church, which convened at Kinston yesterday. Mr. J. C. Wooten, jr., was in the city yesterday. He has been appointed rail road agent at Kinston and will take charge the 1st of June. It is a good ap pointment. Defying the Law. Editor Journal: From appearances and conduct, it seems that the county treasurer (D. N. Kilburn) does not in tend to comply with the law requiring him to post a monthly statement of his receipts and disbursements of county money coming into his hands, and that there is a disposition on the part of some to screen or justify that officer in his stubbornness and willful refusal to per form the duties devolving upon him. It is almost a notorious fact that he has not, within the past two years and more, posted these monthly statements, and it is a topics of common conversation with officers and people of Craven county, and the charge of neglect is not even denied by that officer. Shall he be per mitted to violate the law any longer!1 No one (except the county commis sioners) know any more about his busi ness as county treasurer than they do of any private citizen's. We trust the grand jury now in session will take the mat ter in hand before they adjourn and compel that officer to comply with the duties of his office, or find out the real cause of this gross misconduct. Other persons are being convicted and pun ished for minor offences, and we do not see why he should go unpunished in the face of so many violations of the law by him. Tax-Payer. May 27, 18S6. M. E. CHURCH ;SOUTH. Richmond, Va., May 23. The Meth" odist Conference today passed a resolu' tion that the Bishops be requested to pu foreign missions in their regular annua1 visitations, leaving, however, Buch visits discretionary with them. The Conference commended the Wo man's missionary work by a unanimous vote. Dr. McFerren offered a resolution re- Questing that bis protest against a change in the ritual, as reported yesterday, be entered on the Journal. The change referred to was concerning the order of the ritual In the baptism ol children. After considerable discussion, various others members signed the protest with Dr. McFerren, and a resolution was adopted that the Bishops be requested to examine the ritual with a view to a change, and to report to the next Gen eral Conference. The question of the place for holding the next Uenerai uonierence was reier red to a special committee, to report at their option through the Church papers. A committee or nve waa appointed to select from the calendar (such business for consideration by the Conference as mav be deemed most important.

Fire at Chicago. Chicago. May 26. A disastrous fire occurred in a large brick and stone structure here early this morning. The loss will - approximate . 11,000,000, Among the principal losers are the publishers. Belford, Clarke & Co., and a large dook oinaerr nrm, vonanue ox Hennebury. ' Next door was a five-story building owned by O. A; Slaughter and occupied by the furniture firm of R. Deimel & Co. This firm-was burned, out. The most' exciting r part of the fire - waa ' a i, panic which - occurred 'among the guests of the hotel Brunswick, directly oppo site the burned block. - The heat was so intense that every pane of glass in front of the hotel was broken. The guests became larmed, and not stopping to dress themselves, tied from the Hotel Several firemen were badly injured THE PRESBTT ERI AN PICHIC. Hark! was that the steamer Kinston whistle, - The sound I wish to hear, I say. For the Presbyterian picnic Will leave New Berne this very day. So we will grab our baskets And hasten to the foot of Metcalf street, With light hearts and happy faces, For our enjoyment will be complete. Sailing up Trent river Is a treat indeed ; Our little ones are happy As we old ones take tbe lead. Yes, that was the steamer whistle, To remind us the day has come For the Presbyterians to have their pic nic, To be enjoyed by every one. Do let us grab our baskets And go down in great haste. One moment of this nice time We really should not waste. I got on the boat in time And went and took my seat, And waited very patiently r or our number to be complete. Now we are sailing up the river moving tbe beautiful scene: Tbe woods they look so beautiful, The banks so fresh and green. The crowd it is so pleasant, With Seymour, Stimson and Brown. I know there never was a better crowd That ever left this town. We had a Small wood, Lane, Allen and Vass. All came with their baskets well packed. Hollister, Holton, Slover, Eaton and Ives Came with their bonnie wives. Then came Claypool, Kilburn, Ellis and toy, With Moore, Erdmann, Miller and Jones, this day to enjoy,' Jordan, Wood, Dennison, Hancock and Uryan All expecting to have a very nioe time. When we arrived at Foy's Mills, A sight we did enioy. A band of black, shining faces tor a while our minds employed. The best thing at Foy's Mills, you see rienty of water was desired. In this pretty, romantio spot, This cooling spring was our mam prop. You could ess on every side Young girls with bright faces; I must not tell tales out of school, But the lovers were in their places. The crowd 's expectations were realized, tot the day was as hue as we could desire. Our table loaded with all that was good, Plenty bam, chickens and pies. The universal exclamation was, Wbat a splendid time we have had; Going on a Presbyterian picnic Is anything but bad. Then to see the ladies Putting on such airs; Heads turned aside and mouth in prim, Liooxing line iney were ready to sing. But I was sailing up the Trent; lhe scenery was so grand Made me very willing These little airs to stand. For I had left mine all at home So as to have a dav of fun; It proved to be a joyful day or me, and every one. Mr. Miller was our mainstay; He trotted all around And watched both old and young. so Kfraid tney would get drowned. Now sailing np the Trent river, Enjoying an tbe sights, With pleasant company all around. 1 did not get tired until night. The lemonade was refreshing Mr. lves banded me. And I thought at that time He was the cleverest man I could see. In fact they are all as polite a set As you wisn to see. The Presbyterians, I must say, is the very orowd for me. Even when a stranger comes. We reach out heart and hand And give them a hearty welcome' To join our little band. It was a great pity Our preacher was not there. So we had to eat our good things,. With him we could not share. So you see a picnic Is a thing we should not dread v As we all got home in time To go to our little beds. Bared HU Life. Mr. D. I. Wilcoxson. of Horse Cafe.

The Christian Home of New York says: "Of the sixty-eight married men received in this home during the last year, two-thirds of that number bad been separated from their families on account of their drinking habits." So numerous and appalling have the atrocities committed by the Apache Indians in the Territories become, that Gen.

The very next day cars can be run without change of-trucks or bulk on every road from Maine to Texas and from Califor nia to North Carolina. It will be the most stupendous and important railway event that has ever transpired. Marvelous. Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 8, 1884. One of my customers, Mrs. L. Wil liams, has been using B. B. B. a short time and reported to me that its effects were simply marvelous, and that it far surpasses all other blood remedies she had used, and that she could heartily sanction anything said in its favor, as it has given her more relief than any thing she had ever used before. W. a. UWEN, Druggist. Sold in New Berne by R. N. Duffy and E. H. Meadows. Railroad Accident. Round Knob, N. C, May 24. The following is a correct statement of the diaster at Mill ereek, near Round Knob: A new truss bridge of 110 feet span had but a short while been completed across Mill creek, and today, as freight train No. 4 approached the bridge, the first car next to the engine was derailed by a broken wheel. As the train ran on the bridge the broken truck ripped up the guard rail and knocked out a por tion of the main braces, which caused a complete wreck of the structure, and nineteen cars, most or wnicn were loaded with coal, were spilled into the creek. Engineer Kirby had his leg broken iust above the knee. The train was un derfull control and running very slow ly. The train hands on top saw the cars going into the stream, and all jumped off. witbout tbe slightest injury, jx force of hands was soon at work remov' ing the freight and clearing the debris, and in less than two hours alter media aster a force of hands was sawing and framing another bridge to get the trains across, i rom wbat 1 can learn tne rail road authorities zexpect to have the bridge rebuilt by Wednesday noon, al though it looks as it it would require- a week to clear away tbe broken cars. The passengers were transferred today, Ubariotte uoserver. Great Chicago Strike ! It is generally known throughout the whole country that large strikes are being made among the laboring classes in some of our largest cities, such as Chicago. Philadelphia and New York, Some have been wounded for life and some have lost their lives. The ques tion now arises, what shall be done to keen the peace in Eastern North Caro lina? The farmer cannot afford the eight hour system at the present prices of produce, neither is tbe laboring man satisfied with the present prices of labor. Some relief must be had; something must be done; some one muBt come to the front and devise some scheme by which the people may be relieved from such a tyrannical oppression. In view of the foregoing facts, and in the ab senoe of any relief from other sources we suggest that the quickest and most satisfactory way of keeping down strikes anddissentions amongthe labor ing classes of Eastern North Carolina is to make the prices of goods and supplies in conformity to low wages, and in making the suggestion: we hereby an nounce to the publio that we propose to act upon it, and direct everybody, labor ing classes add all, to the great cheap cash store of Humphrey & Howard, where they will find a large and com plete stock of groceries and dry goods at strike prices. The most vital strike in life is the strike for ways and means which guarantees yon perfect satisfac tion at the least cost, the strike then for the great cheap cash store of Humphrey & Howard will certainly obtain for yon the lowest possible prices, thereby alle viating all past troubles and guarantee ing you peace, prosperity and happiness in tbe future. ntsoawim ; ' ' :s Baeklea'e Arnlea.Salv.
