It is probable that Governor Campbell will be renomi nated. The Washington Post sajs: "The Philadelphia people are now complaining of impure water. About the only pore thing in that town is its cnssedness.'' Mrs. Davis has consented for the removal of President Davis' body to Richmond. Her letter is Beautiful, worthy of her and of him who blessed her with his love and made her the mother of bis children. Orisp of Georgia is the favorite of the New York Democratic Con gressmen for Speaker of the House. The Journal is for Crisp. This writer has known him from boy hood. Orisp is an able man, and as true as steel. It is announced from Raleigh that Miss Helen Fowle, daughter of the late Governor Daniel G Fowle, will be married in that city on the 22nd instant to Mr. Wright. of Chicago. The groom is a man of wealth and position. A steamer just arrived in New fork reports that the Haytian Government wants to sever rola tions with the United States. Fred Douglas and his white wife dis gusted Hyppolite, and he wants nothing to do with this country. Six hundred Navajoa Indians are raiding the cattle ranches in Arizona and it is feared the war department will have to be called on to suppress them. The Navajos nnmber 18,000 and if the whole tribe is disaffected they will give a great amount of trouble. President Harrison should receive the attention to which his position entitles him, but the press dispatches from Cape May are disgusting. Just think of the great dailies publishing such miserable stuff as "the President met Baby MoEee and walked home with him." ALL Europe is looking longingly to the wheat fields of the United States. Last year many hoped that South America would help supply the deficit, especially the Argentine Republic, but today no mention is made of these countries, all hope is : built upon the United States' har vest. The fact, as recently stated, is that the bread of Europe most oome from America. Secretary Blaine. in an in terview with an Associated Press reporter at Bar Harbor, says the ' sensational reports about his bad health arev lies. Those who are circulating the reports are Harrisen " Republicans , and it is pleasant to - hear Mr. Blaine denounce them as liars. :; Blaine may do the Demo , cracy and the country some good after all.

A party numbering about twenty-five took passage on the steamer Alpha for a week's pleasure at Ooroooke, a popu lar and growing summer resort. Among them wis Msj. D. T. Oarraway, who ill let the Journal readers hear something of this secluded and enrap turing watering plsoe on a portion of the narrow strip of land that runs along nearly the whole North Carolina coast. The grading of the business portion of Middle street is nearly completed. The work appears to be thorough and is much more attractive. It is now to be ooated with a layer of shell marl as an experiment, which formation, it is thought, will aot as effectively as con crete. Should it prove successful the other moat important streets will be similarly dealt with until New Berne has a perfect system of etreetB.

Hall, book seller, and Mrs. M. J, Rhodes, milliner; these will be thrown into one for Mr. Soheltz' dry goods store. He will, however, still retain his present stand and run a grocery business there.

New Berne is still striding forward. One more industry the factory of the New Berne Ice Company is started on solid foundation with all the machin ery new and of the best and latest im proved make. The faotory freezes by the agency of anhydroue ammonia, and the ioe in made from water distilled by the York Manufacturing Company's patented process. The machinery consists of a com pressor, steam and ammonia condenser or distiller, a cold water tank, and a brine tank in which are 183 cans con taining the fresh water ready to be frozen, and a 60 horse power boiler which furnishes steam to the compres sor and distiller. We will now follow the water in its travels fiom tho start to the finished product. The water comes from a well bored for the purpose through the strata of rock that underlies the city, which proves that all aurfaoe water is ex cluded. The water is pure, oool and delioloua. A pump raises it from this well into the ammonia condenser; then another pump puts it into the boiler where it ia converted into steam; it then goes through the distiller, where is partially converted into water again, and then it goes through a trap which oompletes the change and sepa rates all gases and other impurities from the water if any are there, releas ing them and retaining the pure water perfectly sweet and clear, From the trap it is conveyed into the cooler, where the temperature ia re duced to about 40 degrees Fahrenheit before it is put into the cans to be fro- zsn. These cans are kept in tneir piaoe in the brine tank and filled with cold water by means of hose connected with the cooler, and after the ioe is frozen each can is lifted out and immerced for brief period in a hot bath to thaw the blocks of ioe free from the cans. The blocks of ice measure 14x14x36 inches, and will be sold for 200 pound ones, though they actually weigh from 205 to 210 pounds. The 168 oans hold nearly 17 tons of ice, but it takes 48 hours to make the ioe after it is begun, and to give a daily supply the work is so arranged that half the contents or eight tons of ice oan be taken out eachday. Connected with the factory is a good size refrigerator or cold storage room kept about the freezing point for the conyenionce of all who wish to keep butter, meat or other articles stored there . An ice faotory gives a luxury cheap, and even if the manufactured ice was not cheaper than the natural article it would still be preferable, for whatever impurities are in the latter are frczan ia it, while ia ice manufactured by this process if any impurities were in the water they would be removed be fore being frozen, leaving the ioe per fectly pure, sparkling, and tasteless, and in addition to that the water this fnotory uses is good and pure to begin with. The amount of capital invested in the plant is $15,000. The officers of the faotory are Wm. Dunn, president; Jas, Redmond, vioe-president: Chas. Reiz enstein, secretary and treasurer and general manager; and Messrs. O. N, Ives and P. H. Pelletier in oonneotion with the officers named constitute the board of directors. The factory starts under very favor able auspioes for these reasons: there is a demand for it; the machinery Is the best for the purpose that is made, and the stockholders, officers and directors are home capitalists who have been suo oessful in their several vocations. They are among the best of our business men, sound, well-informed, wide-awake and progressive. These are the reasons not only for hoping but confidently believ ing that a prosperous future is before the New Berne Ioe Company. Long may it flourish I On such enterprises as this the future growth and prosperity of the city in a large measure depends. A Runaway. Quite a oommotion was oreated on Middle street by the running way of the horse with Mr. J. J. Tolson's grocery dray yesterday while loaded with empty barrels. The driver, Solomon Askew, colored, who was on them was thrown off and badly hart by the jar but no bones broken. The dray struck an electric light pole and broke, releasing itself all but the shafts from the horse whtoh continued on his way for some distanoe farther, sustaining slight damages himself. Thas oause of the runaway was the beating of drams by colored boys car rying a banner advertisement through the street and. we are told they did not desist when they saw the horse wm frightened. There ought to be some way of reaching any one thus offending.-;"' ; i 1 , , G0 Looks. - Good looks are' more than akin deep. depending upon a healthy condition of all the vital ornns.

The Old Dominion Steamship Com pany is everywhere noted for the excellence of its service. The line is continuous from New Berne to New York. The staunch and elegant steam er Newberne plies from here to Norfolk under the command of the effloient Quarter-deck Captain Soutbgate. All who have ever had the pleasure of going over this route speak in its praise. The varied scenes along the rivers, through sounds and oanals are enjoyable and exhilarating to travelers and those in seek of pleasure and reoreation. Capt. E. B. Roberts, the genial agent at this point, informs us that the patronage of bis line is large and stead ily increasing both in pnesengers and freights. The imports for 1890 amounted in tonage to 9,158,430 pounds. Exports in tonage to 28, 510,826 pounds. They were, cotton 12,390 bales, naval Btores 9.000 barrels, lumber one million feot, shingles two hundred and fifty thous and, together with fish and cotton seed oil, staves, rice and all other merchan dise exported to northern ports. The truck shipment for 1800 amount ed to about 25.000 packages peas, beans, potatoes, cukes, squashes, to matoes, etc., while the truck shipments for this season of 1891 amounted to about 35.000 packages already and more to come. The Atlantic and North Carolina rail road is the chief artery that sends the life blood through this section of the State to the coast. It is impossible to estimato its value to Now Borne, but all business men know the advantages of rapid transit, and this the road fur nishes. Farmers, merchants, and people of all classes recognize their obligations to it for increased facilities for shipments, attention to passengers and the careful handling of freights. Cars have been constructed with special referenoe, to the trucking in terest, in which care is taken to secure proper ventilation, and trains aro put through to the northern cities with promptness and dispatch and the time in which goods are in transit has been greatly reduced. Wo are pleasod to chronicle tho fact that tho road is in splendid condition. Notwithstanding the faot that passenger and freight rates have been reduood, tho receipts of the road are larger than at any former period in its history. RICHMOND CIIOSEX. As the Last nesting Place of I lie Con federate Chieftain. Richmond. Va., July 18. Tho Davia Monument Association and the chamber of commerce committee, consisting of Qen. Joseph K. Anderson, Mayor J. Tay lor Ellyson, Qen. Peyton Wise, Col. John B. Cary, and Judge Qeorge L. Christian, have received the following letter fromMra. Jefferson IJaia, which accompanied a oopy of the open letter sent out addressed to the veterans and the people of the Southern States: Through you i return the grateful acknowledgment of my children and myself to President J. 13. Purcell and the chamber of commerce of Richmond, as well as to the State of Virginia, for the many oordial utteranoes they have made regarding ex-President Davis. While he lived and strove with a power ful foe, their moral support was equal to their substantial aid, and went very far toward strengthening his soul for the conflict, unequal as it was. In answer to your invitation, I yield my husband's mortal remains to the car of Virginia, secure in the certainty that he will rest among bis friends, who stood firm in defeat as they did in dawn of the Confederate States' existence, and prefer Richmond as the place of his interment. The question of the site for tho mauso leum and for the monument is now one of absorbing interest and various suggestions are being made, bat as Riohmond has said to Mrs. Davis that she would be free to seleot any site she chose, nothing will be done in this matter until she is able to confer with the people. It is believed that Mrs. Davis wishes the body to rest in the grounds of the Davis mansion, corner Twelfth and Clay streets, and it is thought that she will prefer to have the monument also in tbat seotion of the oity. Considerable money has already been raised for the monument. LIFE INSURANCE CO. OF VIRGINIA. Snlendid Iivldenl-16 Per Cent. Per Annum, W. M. Watson, Local Treasurer, New Berne, N. C.
