Mr. Clbvbland's law firm has cleared 300,000 since lie joined it. If Cleveland fails to get the nomination no other New York man need apply. Dr. Lanneltongtje, of Paris, has discovered a care for consump tion, in chloride of zino. Judge Thueman says it should be Cleveland and Gray, or Cleve land and Campbell in 1892. Dr. William E. Curtis has pro nounced Mr. Blaine ont of danger and on the high road to recovery. i There are eigb,t hundred editors in attendance upon the meeting of the National Association, at St. Paul, Minn. The Liberals won a victory ovtr the Mormons at Salt Lake City, Utah on the 13th instant. Mor- monism is dead. The only excitement in Louis' iana is over the lottery question The feeling against a rccharter is running high and a great battle will be fought. Most of the newspapers that are opposed to electrocution" do not object to the killing of its victims; bnt they do object to the partial frying of a man in the process. Stagnation ruled in the New York stock market Tuesday. Edison electric stock went up seven points over a judicial decisions sustaining Edison's patent on incondescent lamps. The Washington Post says: 'The Knights of Labor will assist the Republican cause in Pennsyl vania and the Democracy in Ohio. In this manner it hopes to keep np its reputation as a non partisan organization." If a western man is nominated for the Presidency, by the Demo crats next year, it will, in all human probability, be Isaac P. Gray. The Indiana Democracy Will support hiin cordially for the nomination, and if nominated he - will carry the State over Harrison Or any other man. 8ats a dispatch from Kansas City: "A movement has been inan- gurated here for the organization of novel military company intended to be one of the military features of the World's Fair. The company j-t is to be called Company A, First Eegiment, 'United Bine and Gray. It is to be composed of fifty ex Union . and fifty ex Confederate soldiers, ,the former uniformed in bine and the latter in gray. The j company is now nearly full, and the officers have been elected. The latest phase of the contest - over the Briggs theology and Union Seminary is the strangest of all. It seems that some of the wealthy men ..' ; who contributed to the endowment " ' of the seminary gave their money on the understanding that it (the seminary) should be under the con trol of the - Presbyterian General ' Assembly. . The trustees of the seminary have refused to be guided : by the Assembly's action in re jecting ( Prof,"; Briggs, These - wealthy men, therefore, headed by Basse! Sage, proposed to get back their money. On the one hand, the effort to coerce the views and policy - of the learned and pions men who ' are in charge of the institution by .; ft threat of pecuniary damage is an extraordinary proceeding; and, on the other: hand, if the seminary - were to yield to snohressnre and i reverse its course to save its money, ' it wonld lose ' the respeot of all honest, liberal, truth loving minds. LOCAL NEWS. . NEW ADVERTISE M& NTS. -Lost Keys. Howard Trifles, eto. M. H. Sultan Selling out at cost. Barrington & Baxter For the ladies. The warm weather still oontinuee to oauie people to seek Morehead with a desire to keep oool. Mayor Manly had a number of boys up and fined them quite heavily for playing ball on the street. Take warn ing in time. The complimentary sail to a number of our young ladies given by Mr. Bash of Georgia is spoken of as very enjoyable. Good quantities of very fine cant el- oupes and watermellone to some extent are now being shipped, also cucumbers, tomatoes and apples. The vacant store adjoining Mr. Moses Whitehurst's is being fitted up for Mr L. S. Wood's hardware and the next one Mr. Hassell's confectionery store. The Pasquotank Rifles will arrive on the steamer Neuse this morning en route to the State enoampment near Wilmington. They will leave by this morning's train. Eureka Lodge, No. 7. 1, O. O. F. have elected and installed the following officers for the ensuing year: S. D. Pope, Noble Grand; 3. 8. Duffy, Vice Grand; Ed. Gerock, Secretary; H. L. Hall, Financial Secretary; A. Miller, Treasurer. A party from Fayetteville went down to Morehead lant night in a private car. They were Mr. and Mrs. Bidgood, Mr. Lewis Broadfoot, Mrs. F. R. Broadfoot, Mrs. Kate Broadfoot and Miss Kate Broadfoot. There were also a number of children along. "Big Ike" is having a good once rote ptvement put down in front of his store, connecting with the one just finished in front of the Racket Store. Keep the ball in motion, gentlemen. The entire business part of the town ought to have first olasa sidewalks. The moonlight sail to night of the young People's Working Society will be chaperoned by Mrs. J. A. Meadows, Mrs. Nelson Whitford and Mrs. R. P. Williams. The steamer Kineton has been engaged for the occasion which will no doubt be much enjoyed. Only 25 cents will be charged and ail who oan should surely go because it is gciag to bo a pleasant party. The boat will be out from 8 to It o'clock. It has been suggested that the New Berne Ice Company use their whistle as a fire alarm for the portion of the oity in which the factory is located and they have agreed to do so. With the exoeption of 12 o'clock, noon, the whistle will not be blown as a signal to the hands in any way except with an even tone the same as any other whistle. At that time it will play a regular tune. At any other time a tune by the whistle will mean "fire." The peculiar naturo of the whistle its loudness and the fact that the factory runs both day and night makes this arrangement a very satisfactory one. Big Stock Market. A speoial train brought ina large lot of horses and mules for Messrs. M Hahn & Co., Wednesday night They are all western raised, and were select ed with especial oare to meet the de mands of this section. We have repeatedly noted the large number of horses and mules handled by New Berne dealers, and how the business has increased for the last few years. How it has been done is easy to ao count for. In the first place the men who have it in charge, Messrs. Hahn, Stewart and Street, are business men, men who are not content to stand still and wait for patronage to come to them, but they push out and seek new customers. The territory accessible to New Berne is large, and the advantages offered are attracting purchasers from Jones, Onslow, Lenoir, Greene, Pam lico, Carteret and other counties. Again, these gentlemen, by buying in large numbers, are enabled to make very olose figures, and they keep their business before the pnblio through the advertising columns of the Journal. Progress of the Ginnery. The New Berne Improved Cotton Ginning Company have met and per fected their organization by the eleotion of the following set of able officers President, Thos. Daniels; vlce-preel dent, H. E. Wynne; secretary and treasurer, W. P. Burr us; direotors, Jae, Redmond, O. T. Watson, L. H. Cutler, O. Marks, H. E. Wells, H. E. Wynne and Geo. Baker. The Amerioan Oil Company Is represented in the organ! cation,: but the controlling Interest it held in New Berne. A good site has been secured for the ginnery. It will be In the two iron buildings at the foot of the eastern side of the market wharf. They will be changed Into two story ones and other wise adapted to their new use. The work of.- alteration will 'Commenoe about the 1st of August, and it la ex pected to have all completed, the ohinerv In, and to begin running by the lotn or BeptemBer. . me eapaoity will be fifty bales per day, and all the equipments will be of the very latest Improved kind. , Masonic Lodge.

J.&BAMUaHT.flei'y. NEW BERNE. Her Workers and Business Men. NUMBER SEVEN. Our last number closed with the A. N. C. R. Road. Other roads are being constructed that will greatly benefit New Berne. The Wilmington, Onslow and New Berne railroad Is being rapidly built and will reach New Berne in the near future. This road will develop one of the riohest sections in the State, and its continuation to Norfolk will give us another through line to the North. Surveys are also being made for the Norfolk, Wilmington and Charleston Railroad. This road has not yet been located, but it is in the hands of capi talists who will be influenced by their pecuniary interests, instead of local partialities, and this will bring the road to New Berne. The completion of either of these roads will shorten the oyer land route to New York one hundred miles, and materially lessen the time in reaching Northern markets. The Journal has for years advocated the extention of the North Carolina Railroad to the Western border of the State. It is right and proper that this be done, and when it is done, the whole State will contribute to the prosperity of New Berne, and, in return receive the rich products of this section. In our enumeration of home indus tries ve unintionally omitted Howard's marine railway, Baker's mattress fac tory, Dunn's candy factory, the West End Land and Improvement Company and perhaps others. New houses are going up in all part of the city and old buildings are being renovated, and yet the demand for bouses is not satisfied. We believe there is not a vacant store or dwelling in Nsw Berne. Evidences of thrift and itnprovont are seen at every corner and upon every street in the city. The Fairs of the East Carolina Fish, Oyster, Game and Industrial AeoooiS' tion have contributed very largely to the present happy condition of affairs. Commencing with a display of fish, oyslers and game creditable to the city of New Berne, it has grown into a oolossal exposition attracting visitors from all parts of the Cnion and charm ing them with the beauty, variety and richness of its exhibits. Having its beginning on the "Academy Green." it now has its own magnificent grounds, adorned with elegant buildings suited for the display of tho wonderful pro ductions of ''The Garden of the South.' These Fairs have beon of inestimable value to New Berne. Our industries have been stimulated, and thousands of delightful visitors have epread abroad the wonders they have seen It is thought that New Berne is want ing in hotel accommodations. We have the new and splendidly fitted up Hotel Albert with all the modern re quirements and the large and com modious Gaston House, and numerous good boarding houses. Plans are now being considered for the erection and equipment of a very large and elegant hotel. With the com pletion of such a one as is contemplated New Berne ought to become a popular Winter Resort. Midway between the lakes of the North and the gulf of Mexico, with a mild and salubrious climate, and with a people inferior to none beneath the skies, there is no reason why New Berne should not become the Queen Citt of the South Atlantio section. Everything is bright for New Berne, and, if we are true to ourselves, the future will be glorious. Personal. Mr. W. H. Oliver, returned from sn insurance business trip to Morehead yeeterday morning. Dr. Geo. S. Attmore and family of Stonewall went up to visit relatives at Wilson. The steamer Howard took out the following passengers Thursday morn' ing: Mrs. A. E. Burgess accompanied by Miss Mattie White, of Harlowe to visit friends near Trenton, and Mies Bettie Pearoe, of Pollocksville, return ing home from a visit to friends in the oity accompanied back by Miss Sadie Whitford and Miss Laura and Master Johnnie Suter on a visit. The many friends in this city of Rev H. W. Battle, late pastor of the Baptist ohuroh, now of Wilson, will hear with pleasure that he arrived last night with his wife and child to spend some time visiting hie parents. Mr. R. P. Montague left on the morn' ing train for a visit to hia brother in Virginia. Railroad News. The Washington Progress brings the news that it Is generally reported there and believed to be true that the James ville and Washington railroad has been sold to the Suffolk and Carolina railroad company, and it is thought that the two railroads willbeoonneoted by the extension of the SuffolK and Carolina from Montrose to JamesviUe and alao that the JamesviUe and Wash ington road will be put in good order and extend nd via Yanoeboroto New Berne to connect with the Wilmington and Onslow road now in course of oon ttraetion.
