Duguid had three cases to come under Ins observation which shows the need for a hospital in New Berne. The patients needed the at tention given at such an institution, but the only hospital here is for sailors and they were not sea-faring men. The only public place open to them, was the poor house and they were not of the kind to go there. These oases of the kind are such as are constantly coming under tho observation of every physician in the city. The only difference is one physician received more in one day than often happens, but such cases are frequent enough to need provis ion made lor them. Again we say New Berne needs and should have a hospital. Who will move in working up the estab lishing of ones. Old Bern To New Bern. Our readers will remember that the late Professor Edward G. Daves interest ed himself in many ways in promoting kindly feeling and ictcr-change of court esies between Ben in Switzerland, and New IBern, mother and daughter. It was partly at his suggestion that our city adopted as its colors black and red, those of the mother city. A new evi dence of this continued interest comes to us now. A friend writing from Bern a short time ago to Prof. Daves says: "A cordial letter from Hons, de Muralt, President of the Municipal Council of Bern, announces that at the last session of the Cou ncil he proposed that Bern should send to her 'daughter across the sea the emblem of the tie which has been Kirmed between them, and the proposi tion was adopted with enthusiasm." The writer adds: "Now that the deel ion has been made. I hope the carrying it out will be prompt, and not in accord with the traditional slowness which is indicated by the old Bernese saying 'Only no haste,' which corresponds per fectly with the solemn, deliberate move ment of the bear.'' The bear is the heraldic animal of Bern and is borne on its coat-of-arms and shield. The animal is everywhere pre sent in that city in life or in effigy, and, indeed, is the old Suabian word (Bern, a bear), from which the city takes its name. The "emblem" mentioned will probab ly be a banner of the Bernese colors, and the coat-of-arms. New York TrncK Quotations by Wire. Messrs.

This Aged and Respected Citizen Sud denly Taken Away-Hls Character and Career. Again has the death Angel visited our city and unexpectedly removed from our midst one of our old and honored citi zens, Mr. Jonathan Havem. He expired betwoen nine and ton o'clock Sunday night, August 5th. The funeral services were held from his residence on East Front street yesterday afternoon at five o'clock, and were conducted by the Rev. I j. A. Brnoot. The pall bearers were Messrs. Graham Dives, Ch C. Clark, W.P. Metts, T. A.Grm i, Tuo. H. Abott, Joseph 15. Clark, Jiis. B. Chirk unci Jas. W. Biddle. For four or five d y- Mr Havens had been troubled with indigestion, accompa nied by some pain, though he keep going about and was out on Sunday. That night a little before nine o'clock he was attacked by a fainting spell, from which be slightly rallied. Two physic inns were immediately sunimjned. Dr. Primrose arrived shortly before he died, but bis services could not avail, and by the time Dr. Hughes ontered Mr. Havens had breathed his last, hardly an hour's time from the time the scrvere nttuck commenced. Mr. Haven's leaves a loving wife nee Miss Mary Latham daughter of Mr. John W. Latham, of Washington, a son Ed ward who is now residing in the north and a sister Miss Sarah Havens of Wash ington. Mr. J. Havens was 73 yours of ugc. He was born in Washington, entered mer cantile life before attaining bis majority and soon alter that went out to California- He was one of the early emigrants to that State, being among the argonauts of 1849, and was among the first of those who viewed the big trees of that State, an other New Berne captain James Biruie being the discoverer of them. Mr. Havens resided about eight years in California, and travelled considerably both in North and South America, but finally moved back to Washington and married there in 1861. He served in the Confederate army for awhile, his family being at the time refagees in Greenville. At the close of the war he made New Berne his home and has lived here ever since. Mr. Havens was a mau whose true worth was understood only by those who knew him best. He was a mau such as one seldom meets a man with very little respect to rank. He was at home alike with those in wealth or high position, or with the Door and humble. He was fond of children and when time permitted sel dom passed one without notice. He was a man also of literary tastes and of no mean literary ability. He accumu lated an exceptionally good historical library, and possessed a wide fund of accurate information in reference to the country at large and of general affairs in the world. He was a writer of ability and of strong convictions. His last work of tliis kind was a sharp criticism of the Administration, in the Journal of Sun day morning (the very day of his death) for refusing to appoint E. J. Hale of this State to a position sought on the alleged ground that Mr. Hale's services to the party were not commensurate with the advantages of the position sought, and then giving of the very same place to a wealthy Republican, a brother-in-law of Vice-President Morton. Mr. Havens did much with bis pen for tie development of this section. He was for some years the secretary of the New Berne Improvement Association and while holding that position he col lected the facts, and wrote a valuable hundred page pamphlet on New Berne and the Pamlico section of North Caro lina. It is now out of print, but it is well worthy of another edition. One of the great improvements which Mr. Havens longed to see accomplished, and which he worked for was an inland water-way from New York to Florida. We believe tho scheme as he planned it will some day become a reality. Two years ago Mr. Havens delivered the Confederate memorial address in this city a fine effort. The previous year he had delivered it iu Washington and it was so well received that by request he repeated the same address here. Ho was down on any such an expression as "the south thought she was right." He took the position, nnequi vocally that "the south was right" and did the subject full justice. We think that Mr. Havens' death was entirely unexpected to every one but him self. He seemed to have a premonition that his end was nigh. When told of the death of his friend, Prof. Edward Graham Daves, last Thursday, he seem ed startled at the news, and then remark ed! "I shall not be long in following him." Every one who knew Mr. Havens re grets his death. As ono of our leading citizens commented of him truly, that ke was a man of eccentricities, but of friendly disposition, good heart, and as honest, upright and honorable in all his dealings as anyone Hew Berne possesses. Peace to ms ashes. This talk about a fight between Ran som and Jarvia is all bosh. There Is no fight between Ransom and Jarvia, but there is a fight on Jarvis. The sooner it is stopped the better, for Jarvis is go ing to oe "overwneimingiy eiecwa," ana nothing can prevent it. Charlotte News. THE CRUISER RALEIGH. Ordered for the Naval Reserves A Grand Cruise Expected. The cruiser Raleigh has been ordered to South port for use of the Naval Reserves on their aunual cruise. This action is, for obvious reasons, liked better than if the Detroit had I ecu selected. The news is announced in telegraphic dispatches which state that "Assistant Secretary McAdoo returned to Washing ton Saturday morning and t ok charge of the Navy Department during the absence of Secretary Herbert in Alabama. Mr. McAdoo has been watching the evolutions I the naval militia for the past two weeks and is thoroughly enthusiastic on the sub ject, as indicated by his first action on returning, whoa he decided to order the new government-built cruiser Raleigh to take part in the evolutions of the North Carolina Reserves at Southpoit, at the mouth of Cape Fear river next week. 'The North Carolina Resnrves already have the use of the monitor Nantucket, which, under the recent act of Congress will b ! loaned permanently to the State, subject, however, to be returned-in case of necessity to the United States. 'The dispatch of the Raleigh to South port will enable North Carolinians to see the new cruiser named in honor of the capital of their State, and will afford naval oflicers an opportunity to make a trial of the vessel which is the first ship for a score of years built entirely at a Government Navy Yard." Lieut. Commandor J. H. Barnard of the second division writes to Lieut. Com manding Clatk, of the New Berne Divis ion, that be has just received a telegram from Lieut. Commander Geo. Morton who went on from Wilmington to Vash ington, giving the news of the ordering of the Raleigh to Southpoi t to afford the Naval Reserves gun drill with the mod em g.iiis. Tho telegram also slated that the other equipments wanted by the Reserves would be shipped them. The Raleigh is tho latest of the new ships. She is 300 feet on the water line, 42 feet beam and 18 feci draft; .3,183 is her tonnage anil 10,000 her horso power. She carries ten five-inch and one six-inch rapid lire guns, eight six-pounders, four one-pounders and two (iatlins. Her speed is estimated at 19 knots, over 20 miles an hour. This news ought to awake enthusiasm among all the Naval Reserves in the State and bring them out in full force. Such an occasion as this will be a big affair for them. Appreciate the Confidence. x esu'ruf.y cited anotlier instance in which confidence in TnE Journal has been tbroroughly established. Two sub scriptious for the Daily were paid a year m advance. When the Journal first began publi cation in New Berne twelve vcas ago. il was almost an utter imposibility to get any one to pay even a few months iu ad vance. More especially was this difficulty met with in procuiing subscribers for the Weekly edition. They would invariably say tinit they did not wish to pay more than three months at a time, and very rare as long as six months. There was no such thing at all as pay ing 85.00 in advance for the Daily, and this lack of confidence could not be over come until within the last few years. Our books will now show a good per centage of both Daily and Weekly sub; scribers that show no hesitation whatever in paying a year iu advance, and the pro- portion is increasing all the time. tWe only trust, that the Journal is worthy the confidence bestowed. HAPPENINGS OF THE DAY. The ropo with which Orange Page the Wake county murderer was banged Fri day bad been usea twice before on simi lar occasions aod will be brought into requisition for the fourth time next Fri day. Its fourth victim is to be Bob Matkius the nogro rapist of Alamance county who is te be hung at Graham. I (Secretary Qresham cives the rcprcsent- auve oi uie oouiuern rrcsoyierian cuurcu wlio callod upon lnm officially that pro tection will be extended the missionaries in Corea, China and Japan. The chief concern is tor its fifty missionaries in China, some of whom are in the northern provinces. They will probably be order ed to Shanghai. The Raleigh correspondent of the Wil mington Messenger gives the following: Speaking ot the Republicans and the fusion question, il is learuod that about two weeks ago ex-Judge D. M. Furches was on the "anti ' side, lut that his views have undergone a great change, and that he now t bin ks fusion a very good tlnng Tho change occurred, it is said, some days betore his nomination. About 3 o'clock Saturday morning there was a "head-on ' collision of freight trains at Bolton, four miles from Weldon on the Seaboard Air Line. One engine lies sixty feet from the track. Both en gines are literally torn to pieces and many cars were wrecked. A side track was built around the wreck and trains are passing. A brakeman, Henry Williams, colored, was badly injured his tnijih la-ing crushed. A special to the News-Observer-Chron- ical from Rutherlordton says that John Lewis, a negro about 40 years ot age ana Known to oe a desperate character, was shot and killed there Saturday by Town Marshal John Bhotwell. Lewis was under arrest and was trying to raise money to pay bis fine, enforced for drunkenness nnd disorderly conduct. He got into a dispute with Shotwell and advanced on him. Shotwell pulled his pistol and shot Lewts through the side and back three times, Lewis died within a half hour. Shotwell ba surrendered to the sheriff. This is the first man killed In Rutherfordton since its corporate existence of over a hundred years. . . , ANNUAL MEETING Of the Roanoke Colony Memorial Association. The annual meeting of the blmreholdci of this association will be held on the 1 Sth instant, the anniversary of the birthday of Virginia Dare, at Nags Head. Roanake Island is but it short distance awav across the sound, and a visit will be paid to the site of Old Fort Raleigh. The association, which is now incorporated, owns the cite of the fori and a body of land adjoining, and at this meeting a plan will be determined upon as to what shall be done to prcsorveund appropriately improve this scene of the first settlement of the English speaking rjee in America. The coat of arms of Sir Walter Raleigh has lieen adopted as the device for the seal ot the Association, a fitting emblem. It consists of a red shield charged with silvor cheverons iu bend dexter; the crest is a stag standing; the motto, the Latin words amore et virtute. The stu" as a crest seems specially appropriate when we remember bow lileiitilul deer were On the island when the Colonists went there, and the pathetic story of how deer were found by the party of ''Governor'' John W bite tecding m the abandoned houses ot the fifteen men left on the island by Sir Richard Grenville the year previous. The Ralcigh-News-Observcr-Chronicle ives the above article. Alluding to it in another place the Observer says: "Referring to an article, printed in .mother column, relative to the Roanoke Colony Memorial Association, we make hold lo suggest that the coat ot arms and color tf Sir Walter Raleigh 1 adopted our city as the coat of arms, motto and colors of Hnleigh, anil for the device on beeorporation seulofthei ity. What is more appropriate than that the armorial Searings of our city should be the same as those of the distinguished man whose honored name the city hears. The col ors are red und white, and it so happens that they are the same u those of the Confederate Slates, Our city colors now are red and yellow, but what is their sig- nilication or association ': Raleigh's od ors for Raleigh.'' The last extract is in exact accord with a suggestion of ours, published iiiile recently, in which we made bold to givo an account of the interest we feci we have in common with all North (.'arc, linians in the capilol of the State what colors can be as appropriate for the city of Raleigh, as the colors of the man for whom the place was named, and under whose guardianship the first Anglo Saxon colony in North Carolina and in America waf planted. We hope to w. Sir Walter Raleigh's colors become those of the city of Raleigh; perpotuate not only bis hon ored name but whatever else that can be which pertains to him.
