Murphy was released from the county jail on tbe ground that he should leave the city at once and yet he ' allowed to re main in the city at large from Saturday to Wednesday, publicly parading the streets, drinking and .making incendiary A Fatal Christmas Accident, The festivities of the merry Christmas Mason were sadly marred in this city by a fatal accident. Mr. Chaa. Slide, whose home is in the Oaksmitb building at the foot of Pollock street, rigged up a cannon out of a piece of common iron pipe, loaded it and made one unsuccessful attempt to fire it. A furs was then made out of oak um, and Mr. A. H. Vincent, w ho runs the store at Fowler's Ferry wharf, went out with him to assist in arranging it,and was placing the fuse in position when Mr. Slade prematurely applied the torch, aad applied it also too close to tin pipe. The result was the lire r in at once to the powder, and when it did, the sham can non exploded. Mi. Slade was struck on the right side of his head near the eye, crashing the skull and blowing out a portion of his brains. OI course death was instantane ous. Mr. Vincent, though even neartr to the cannon than Mr. Slade, escaped with only two slight injuries flesh wounds, one on the foot and the other on the knee. Mr. Slade, who was killed, was captain of a small river schooner, the D. C. Wil lis which runs between Pamlico county and the city. He leaves a wife and child. Mr Slade was buried Tuesday atlernoon by thcKu'ghts of Harmony, the local beneficiary order of which lie was a inem I er, and the funeral was very largely at tended by the order. 115 members were in the procession.

He is now in the insurance business in New Orleans- OLD BAKER 1801 ONLY at L. J TAYLOR'S. Mr. Joe IIuli it has just added a very handsome trio of the old fashioned white faced black Spanish chickens to his poultry yards. They wer raised by Mr. J. W. Chapin of Aurora from eggs that came from Pennsylvania. Mr. Hahn also has beautiful Brown Leghorns and White Game Bantams. Tramps are putting in at Norlolk Va. In commenting upon same, the Virginian says: "Among tne greatest nuisances with which the people of many sections are afflicted is that of tbe tramp nuisance, and Norfolk has its share. Whenever these fellows seek quarters here they should be forced to move on.1' The Elizabeth City Economist has the following mention of a big Dare county land sale: "Judge Seymour has signed a decree confirming the sale recently made in this town of the lands of the East Carolina Land, Lumber & Manufacturing Company, in Dare county, containing 173 000 acres. L. T. Rightseil, A. M., President of Carolina Christian College, Ayden, N. C, will lecture at the Cbunh of Christ to night on subject "Education.'' All are invited. -The college of which Mr. Rightseil is President has been recently established and considering tbe circum stances under which it is laboring it is making good headway. Gen. R. O Gatling, who succeeded the late Governor Fowle as adjutant general of this State, in 1863, is now living at Fort Smith, Arkansas. He is 86 years of age. One of his daughters is now a pupil at St Mary's school Raleigh. Gen. Gatling is a grand son of Governer Rich ard Caswell, He graduated, at West Point m the clasi with Sen. Robert E. Lee, and left the United States army in 1881. On Christmas morning the employees of tbe engineer's, firemen's and machinist', departments of th W. N. & N. R.

" ' : ' 60 INCH DOLL for 2.50 at L. J. TAYLOR'S. - . . Their First Loss. The Knights ot Harmony, the cheap home insurance company, which origi nated in this city has now been in exis tence about two years an.l the accidental killing of Mr. Chas. Slade by an explosion on Christmas day is the first ('eath that has occurred in the onler since organiza 'ion. When Mr. Slade was l:iiled the lodge had 289 tnemler8 and according to the provisions of the order the funeral ex penses have already been paid and the widow will within ten diy ' paid 2 89 dollars more a dollar !"i run member making a total ol ,..ji4. To be n member of this ..i.ler costs only 2."i cents pi r mor'.li iliis an J an as sessment of jl 00 when a death ociins and as only one death has occurred in the two ysars of its existence it can be seen that the c st places the insurance uithih '.lie reach of any one, just what it was designed to do. The monthly twenty -five cent payments not only paid the expenses but quickly aeecu'imluted a surplus Mirli' ic ntly large to meet any los that might necur and this fund has gradually incre.i-.e l to the present. The amount taken .nit to pay this loss will be immediately re-placed by the one doll ir assessaient mid the money will be on hand as before to meet ar.y loss that occurs. Mr. Slade was among the first members that joined .and the cost of his iu-uianee to date was $.5.7". Preparing to Build the Electric Kail-way- Mr. John C. Shaw, a prominent attor noy and capitalist , Mr. A. M. Clegg, a railway contractor, both of whom are connected ivi'h the New Heme Electric Railway and Mr. J. P. Hall, electrical expert, all of New York spent several days in the city last week and have now left Mr. Hall while here examined into the condition and outlook of the electrical plant here and decided upon what is needed to be added for the railway service. The additions he planned will be made. The work on the taihvay, Mr. It. P. Williams informs us, is to begin di rectly al'.er the beginning of the new year and be made ready for use well before the Fair. Indeed the contract for it to be done by the 1st day of February has been signed. Mr. Hall reports the electric light works of New Berne in better condition and both the arc and incandescent lights as giving a steadier light than any other place he has been to. This is encourag ing as the railway will be run in connec tion with these works. We will ull be glad to have the elec tric railway both for the sake of the Fair lor pleasure aud for busiuess purposes. Fired a Cannon at the Fisherman. We learn from Morchcad of a conflict between the fishermen of that place and Swansboro, over clashing interests iu their occupitious. The Morchcad fishermen were fishing in the water near Swansboro and were ordered by a delegation of about twenty ol those living thereabouts to de sist and leave. They declined to obey and the Swansboro men declared their intention or compelling them to do so and loaded a cannon with chain, spikes and brickbats and fired but without injury. Then they resorted to rifles and shot several balls into the boats of the Moretcad fishermen. The latter not being armed lei t, but as they main tain that the waters they were in are public fret to any one, they expect to re turn prepared for defence if again inter fertd with. It is hoped that whoever is to blame for the trouble may be made to see it and cease from aggression before any serious results arise from it. Some Oysters Messrs. Geo. N. Ives & Son shipped on Friday and Saturday mornings 361 gallons of oysters solid meats. 200 gal lons of these were shipped on Saturday. One Um weight of opened oyttert in one shipment. Their shipment for the week was 700 gallons or 3 1-2 tons. These oysfcrs we.e nearly all shipped on orders to their trade throughout this State, South Carolina and Georgia. The amount paid their sbuckers on Saturday fur two days work was $57. Mr. Ives says tbe oysters are finer this season than be has ever seen them. Prof. Daves' Lecture. The address of Prof. E. G. Daves last night was fine,scholarly, replete with his toric interest and was greatly enjoyed by those fortunate enough to hear it. The lectures which he is delivering are lure to kindle a livelier interest in the earlier history of our State and country, besides answering their prime design of turning attention to the plan of saving, as a memorial, in an appropriate way, Old Fort Raleigh on Roanoke Island, where the white race first pained a foothold in America. : ; - Gov. Mitchell of Florida has thrown a bomb into the ranks of the sports by flatly refusing to giynt a charter to r tbe Dural Athletic Club on the ground .that under cover of the charter of the , club they intended to violate-the laws of the State by having the Corbctt-MUcheU fight. Tbe Governor savs he will use all lawful means, should it be necessary, to prevent the fight and to bring to punish ment every citizen who aids and abets. IllKll.

Justice, Alexander Justice. .1. Cicero Justice and Mrs. Annie M. Di-o.way, all ol whom have preceded her to tin' better world except the last named brother who is now, and has been a longtime a resilient of Aieola, Illinois. "Miss Lizzie" as she was familiarly known was a woman of line intelligence, cultivated taste and self dependent man niers. Duty and principle were the guides to her conduct, never pandering to mere sentiment or popular fancy. What she believed to be right she did, and w ith earnest zeal. Her devotion to her sisters children was liuth like and they doubtless feel as if they had lost a second mother. Those who knew best loved her most and feel most keenly her sudden demise. She has kept the frith and finished her course. Hstfiisoit en l'nee. MARRIED. Wednesday, Dec 2?:h, at the residence of Mr. Aaron Farnell in Onslow County, Mr. H. I!.
