Major Denuiaon has added a pressure
regulator to bis machinery that sup

the city. By this means the same pres

furnish splendid power for driving
small machinery, such as coffee mills
and roasters, meat choppers, fans, eow-
ng machines, printing presses, organ

One-third of the Richmond Locomo
tive and Machine Works, ouo of the
largest establishments of it) kind in the
South, was destroyed.by fire Wednes
day night. The damage was heavy as
the machinery in the building burned
was very valuable. A portion of it was
put in expressly to do government work
at a cost of $50,000. The company was
building the "Texas," one of the
largest battle ships of tho country, and
without any exception the largest one
for which a Southern company ever
took the contract. There were twenty
three boilers of the "Texas" in the
ruins, but the principal damago to the
Texas" machinery will be in the
pol's'ied rodwork, bars and plates, the
latter being constructed from a peculiar
kind of metal. That whioh has already
passed inspection was insured for
$285,000. This is the same company
that is building the two now engines
for the A. &N. C.R. R. The building
destroyed will be rebuilt at once.
Foreign Shipments.
It is not generally known, but cover
theless a fact, that a good portion of the
ODtton sold in this market has been
shipped to foreign porta this season
Saturday Mr. James E. Latham shipped
quite a large invoioe of cotton direct to
Bremen, Germany, taking a bill of
lading direot from here by the E. O. D.
line. Mr. Latham has made a number
of shipments abroadthis season, and it is
gratifying to know that he is sufficiently
encouraged to. continue and increase it.
Preserve Our Oystera.
The bast and only effectual way to
stop the depredations on and deetruo
tion of our oyster beds is as has been
suggested to us, to make all violations
of the law by non-residents a cause of
forfeiture of the vessel and boats, and
implements used by them in unlawfully
taMng oysters, Such we believe to be
a part of tho penalties in other States,
and the United States uses suoh penal
ties to enforce its revenue laws with
powerful effeot. Of oourse the property
should be condemned and sold by a
judgment of the court. We think it is
incumbent upon our present Legls'a
ture to protect anefpreeerve our oystera;
Itli now or pever.
Children' Cry for Pitcher.Castpr,
1891 a Memorable Year. I
The put year for the oity of New!
Berne was one of considerable revival
and increase ia its volume of business
and general prosperity. Her citizens!
have become impatient and restless for
something to turn op and have now
about conoluded that the beet way to
get it up is to go and turn it up them-
stives. We believe that the year 1891
is going to fully witnees the faet and!
as another starter we would like to ask
how would it be to issue $100,000 each
in bonds by the city and county for
public improvements. Pave the streets,
grade the sidewalks and put them in
the very best condition possible, estab-
Hah a thorough and substantial system
of drainage and keep the, city attractive
and cleanly so that it will be a pleasure
to walk and drive through it and still
further Improve our already splendid
health statistics. Also waterworks and
numerous other improvements are the
demands of the times and we can have
them if we will.
Another valuable and most import
ant adjunct is the construction of a
substantial bridge across Neuse river.
it ought to be built and right away at
that. Our county roads and bridges
want an overhauling, such an one as
they have never had to save time in
travel and wear and tear on teems and
vehicles.
All these things are the outoome of
wide awake and prosperous communi
ty and they number among the necei-
sities ia any community where they
dosiro to rise to the highest plane of
civilization, happiness and prosperity.

Prof. Ford's Entertainment.
An opportunity will be offered our
citizens tomorrow night, at the Y. M.
A. Hall, of hearing one of the finest
inciters an 1 elocutionists of the country
u humorour, pathetic and dramatic re-1
citals. His entertainments are SDoken
of as grand. He is said to be endowed
with a genial disposition, a pleasing
manner, an animated expression, and a
splendid voice, which is under perfeot
control, its tones full, clear and melo
dious, and to possess the power of mak
ing the character he represents stand
out clear before the hearer. Read these
testimonials:
Bishop J, N. Fitzgerald writes: It is
difliculi to see how one can seoure
greater pleasure and profit from an
evening's entertainment than by at
tending one of Prof. Ford's recitals.

Prof. S T. Ford, the talented elocu

stands at the head of his profession, and

I take pleasure in stating that Prof,
S: T. Ford gave us two very interesting I
reauiogs at our aiouaiain Laae rare 1
Assembly, and won for himself a host I
of friends by his genial spirit, natural
manner and elocutionary skill. I would I

I think I have found my ideal eloou
tionist in Prof. S. T. Ford. He has few
rivals in pathetio expression, and none
in irresistible, headlong fun. His humor
is something unioaa-notr aa dfllioate
a that of the i-entla Ellia. anil no tin-
roariout but always governed by a
careful sense of propriety and refined
taste, irreverence and coarseness are
not heard in his readings.
