Now that Chiinmas is over let every body bend their energies toward making (becoming Fair tbe grandest success of any that we ever had. No other local event traoscendaor equals in importance to the eastern portion of our State this acnuii! exhi bition of the New Berne Fish, Oster, Game and Industrial Association. This is pre-eminently true of the effects on New Berne and Craven county, but its benefits are not confined to ttij im mediate vioinity but they reach out to every adjoining county, and not one of them can afford to let an opportunity pass unheeded of displaying every year at the New Berne Fair, a good variety cf its products asd reeturccs. Our Fair is productive of good not only to Eastern North North CarUina tut to the entire State. The officers urn! di:t:to;aof the Fair deserve great credit for their dis interested zoiil an wisely diiected energy iu tlo;:i everything in their power that ia p-uinouvo of ilia interests of the Fair.

Ricaud preached a fine sermon, Sunday morning, to a good audience from the last verse of the first chapter of the Sjngs of Solomon. The sermon waq susrgesto.1 by the arrange ments made for tho Sunday-school Christmas festivities Friday night In stead of having a tree, the committee in oharge, Meeere. Lodge, Ball and Bar rington erected a beautiful arbor or bower over the pulpit, on which to hang the presents, and Mr. Rlcau i chose that bower for hia subject. The ladies ani gentlemen evinced great taste and skill in tho arrangement of the bower. It whs coastiuotcd o cadar, holly, moss, etc., with a largo rive-foot bell of the same materials in the center, and two three-foot blls on eaoh side, the clappers of which wero Japanese lan terns. The bower had an arched front with the iuncriptiou, "Peace oa Earth." The bower was eo lovely that it has been photographed by Mr. Edward Gerock, and tho pictures will bo sold for the benefit of the church. Insurance Noiicc. It is necessary in order to comply with the requirements of all Insurance Policies that when there are two or more polioies on the same property that an endorsement of the additional inenranoe should be made on each policy. I therefore request all persons having policies issued by ma to examine and if there is additional insuranoe which has not been endorsed on their policies to bring them to mo and have the necessary endorsement made on them. This costs nothing and may aave complication in case of a fire. William H. Oliver, Insurance Agent and Ad juBtor, Newbern, N.

HAVE THEY THE RIGHT TO MAKE ARRESTS FOR MISDEMEANORS WiTHOUI WAR RANT. The trial of a cace involving tho right cf a police-officer to make an arrest fcr assault and battery or other misde meanor without a warrant where tbe officer is not an eye-witness of the cc ourrence was tried yesterday after noon at the city hall before Capt. John Cowan, Justice of the Peace; the case having been removed from Mayor Fowler's Court on affidavit of defen dants through their counsel, lit. Mare den Bellamy. Investigation of the case before the magistrate showed that two citizens, Thursday evening about 6:30 o'clock, became involved in a difficulty cnSouih Front, near Market street. Cue of them struck the other several blows and broko a walking-cano over his head. The latter, leaving hio aceailant stand ing on the street, met a policeman three or four minutes afterward and demanded that the officer arrest the man who bad struck him. The police man accompanied tho man back to th place where the difficulty had jutt occurred, and (according to the testi mony of several witnesses) told the nun who struck the blows to consider himself under arrest. Tho officer was asked if he had a warrant for the arrest aud replied that it made no difference, and the citizen then defied the officar, and seized him by the collar of hie cj.t at the throat. The officer or dered tho citizen to rileaeo his srasp and drew hi club as if to stiike. when the club was eeizad by another citisea. While the parties were scuf fling, another police officer came up and released the hold the citizen bad on tho c fiicer, and the citizen and his friend submitted and agreed to accom pany the officers to police headquarters, ft here charges were entered against them for resisting an officer in the per formance of his duty. The police officer who first attempted to make the arreet made a statement a little at variance with the above details, claiming that be did not tell the citizen he was under arrest until he (the citizen) had defied him and seized him by tho collar; that he simply told tbe citizsn that his arrest had been demanded by tbe man assaulted. The case who argued by Mr. Marsden Bellamy for defendants; that the police ofiner had exceeded bis powers and had no right to attempt an arrest with out warrant; not beirg a wituesa of the affray or assault. And lit. Du B. Cut lar, city cU ruoy, argued lhitt the po lico ofli ier was juitilied in hi:) action and that it was bif rijht and duty to make the arroi't under f'.e ctrcum stances.

Thn Maaonic Temple was ruined today by lire. Luck ily the burning took place just before Forepaugh's Theatre, which is in tho Temple, would be opened fcr th.i day performance. Tho building is reduced to a mere shell. Nearly all of the records of the Grand Lodge since its organization, more than a century ago, tho paraphernalia, uniforms, records of individual lodges, costly banners, relics that cannot be replaced, and the fine library of tbe Grand Lodge were burned. .t The Masons stood sorrowfully about, among tbem Urand Master Sayroofe, contemplating the wreck and ruin. The floe building, which had cost 1450, 0C0, was entireiy gutted. Insurance on the Masonic Temple aggregated 895,240; on furniture and fittings $8,000. j The old U. S. court house building, now vaoant, has been secured as a tem porary home for the burned out Mo son io bodies. The loss on the building is variously estimated from $50,000 to $100,000, but the majority seem to think that rebuild ing can be done at the cost of about $30,000. A very large additional loss was on fixtures, in the shape of remark ably handsome carpets, furniture and historical relics. Tho Commandery rooms of tho Templars in the top story were entirely destroyed, with contents involving a loss of 825 000, to which is added individual losses to the Templars of regalia, uniforms, etc., aggregating $100,000. Forepaugh lost every bit of sconerv which belonged to him, and Gray & Stevens lost all of their scenery and other effects, except a small amount of clothing which was still in trunks. The loss of Forepaugh is about $10,000, and of the traveling company about $20,000, as stated by one 6f the tnanagere. Fatal Fire at Sea Two Hundred Lives Lost. London, Deo. 27. Further advices from China as to burning the steamship Shanghai near Woo Hoo, in the pro vince of Nghan Hooi, about fifty miles from Nanking, show th.it tho disaster was much more serious than at first imagined. The earliest advices received stated the viotims consisted of about sixty natives, together with several European officers who, it is supposed have met death either in the fljmes or subse quently by drowning while attempt- ine to esoape from tbe burning vessel. Now it seems the number of Uvea lost will amount to over two hundred, and all lost their lives by drowning. A terrible panio, it appears, occurred among the Chinese passengers and crew as soon as the alarm of fire was beard, and the panio increased terribly when the flames spread beyond control of the terror stricken crew. The few Euro pean officers on board the Shanghai seem to have done their best to main tain order among the Chinamen with' out result. - ' Children Cry for PitcherCastor.K SHIPPING NE!

The Greatest Event of the Season Was on Christmas day, when Big Ike was seen oa the streets driving four-m-hand of J. W. Stewart's large bays, with his force of eight clerks, dressed with black suits and Cleveland beaver hats. It was wonderful to seo hun dreds of people following his oarriasL and picking up bis circulars to see whether it was Cleveland or Big Iko. Some said it was our next President. Grover Cleveland, and others said it was Big Ike, tho Clothing Man, who buys so manv meichants out at from 40 to 50 and 07c. on tbo dollar. Tho doors, windows and gates of every houso and lot were full of people, and all exolaiming Shurrah for Cleveland, and at tho close of his procc.tion as he drove down Broad street, at J W. Stewart's mammoth livory otables. which seems to be the center of attrac tion, there were from one to two thou sand people, and all exclaimed, it is not Cleveland, but Big Ike, tbe Clothing Man.
