A runaway case was brought to light
yesterday. A married man of Wilming

fifteen years of age and came up to New
Berne.
Major Stanton pissed through yester

Messrs. G. II. Waters & Son are thor
oughly overhauling the omnibus which
was formerly run by Mr. J. W. Stewart.
It will be made same as new, and used
in connection with the Chattawka hotel
as soon as it opens.
The Messenger tells of the bold rob
bery of. two adjoining residences; thoso of
Mrs. Rosa Bivins and Mi. John Meier.
Kitchens were robbed of all provision!,
and from tire houses some ailver ware s
little money and a bran new gold watch
and chain stolen, One trunk was carried
out into the garden and broken open with
Streams Rising Damage Resulting.
The continued ruins are causing the
streams tributary to the Nouse river
above New Barne to rise considerably.
The water is over the bridge at Snow
Hill and is two and a hall feet deep in the
sloiiner ware-house and it was built, we
are told, lour feet higher than water was
even expected to come.
The water in Swift creek is higher
than it has been since M77, and it con
tinues to rise. The Swift creek budge is
a (lout, and would go down the current,
but for the people there having manuged
so lar to hold it at its placo by making
it fast at each corner and in the middle.
There is no passing except by boats,
Tho U. 8. mail has to be transferred
from the stage coach in a boat and lorried
cross the creek into the village.
All of the crops in the lowlands are
under water and it is feared they will be
a total loss. . ' '

The Cruiser For Our Boys.
Advices from Washington read as fol
lows: "The Navy Department has decided to
have the new cylinder for the United
States steamship Montgomery, to replace
that cracked on the trial trip; made at
the Norfolk navy yard, instead of allow
ing tho contractors to replace it. This
will be a work of two months and in the
meantime, in order to permit the vessel
to remain in active service, the broken
engine will be compounded or run with
two cylinders instead of three until the
new cyliudar is finished.
"It is possible that iu this way the
Montgomery maybe availed of to hike
out the North Carolina militia instcad.of
using the Raleigh, which is not yet finish
ed." A Mattress Machine
Mr. Thos. E. (Jaskill who recently in
vented a machine for filling niattro-isof is
now having one of them built, aud will in
a few days give it a good test and have it
on exhibition. Heretofore nothing has
been built except the model.
If the machine works as expected, it
wilt enable two men working with it to
fill a hundred, possibly a few more, mat
tresses per day.
By hand it is a fair days work for a
man to till ten or litteen undresses per
day. The machine will work any mater-
al used in filling and may cause epiile a
revolution in mattress making. A lew
lays more will tell the storw.
Firemen's Tournament All die (jo.
The Firemen's Tournament is drawing
nigh.. It holds on the last three days in
this month.
The Allantics will probably enter four
contests the horse reel race, the hand
reel do. and the quick steaming and long
distance throwing.
The boys are perfectly satisfied ihat
they will bring home the prize for quick
steaming, and hoic tj do likewise in the
band reel contest and possibly the others.
They should practice with the hand reel
well between now and the time of the
tournament $40. is the pri for that,
and with it goes the champion ship belt,
which is valued at $75.
New Berne is believed to
have the two quickest steam
ing engines in the world. This
is due to modifications made in them by
New Berne machinists of inventive talent.
One cngino goes up to the tournament
one year aud brings back the prize, and
the other engine, the next year. Tho
prize is f 50.
Now as the boys toel so safe on this
prize let them slmw their mettle and seo
what they can do for the other there.
Practice up and get in good trim.

A CHARLOTTE SHOOTING AFFRAY.
A Prominent Society Man, Jabez Myers
Possibly Fatally Wounded
by Fred Oliver.
The Charlotte News tells ot a serious
shooting affray iu that city on the sixth
inst. Fred Oliver shot ami badly wound-'
ed Jaliez Myers, twice. Mr. Myers' re
covery is doubtful, but the chances are in
favor ol it. Mr. Oliver is under a 95,000
bond.
Both arc men ol' social prominence and
both spent mqch time at Moiehead this
yiar. It is supposed that Mr. Myers,
who was shot was sulferiiiT from aberra
tion of mind in fuel l.- had Miown such
signs ol it that his Iricnds were consider
ing the advisability of locking him up
and the proprietor i.f i!,e I olel where he
slopped were anxious lor linn to move as
the guests were getting disturbed and
fearful of some violence. His moving
impulse was that two men , Mr. Oliver,
(the gentleman who did the soocting) aud
another man had mortally ollemlcd him,
and he made constant and vigorous
threats to have their hearts' blood,
Mrom Mr. Myers' statement the ground
of offence "as an occiirance at More.'iead.
He entertained there in lavish style, t lio
crowning social event of the month be
ing a lavor German, an elaborate affair,
given by him in favor of a St. Louis
young lady, anil it appears that all the
trouble, sprang from this (ierman. He
was paying attention to the young lady at
the time-, aud he charge.! that Mr. Oliver
broke up the match by telling her mother
thai Mr. Myers could not afford to give
such an event as the (icinian was, and it
was under thi beliel that Mr. Myers
harbored tin: enmity.
When Mr. Oliver returned homo lie
ft as warned by bis friends of the situation
anil he armed li'iuself. As he was driv
ing at a trot along the street Mr. Myers
who was on the porch of a friend's house
prang excitedly towards him, swearing
and calling on turn to stop, tor an an
swer Mr. Oliver drew his pistol and fired.
Myers staggered but resume 1 the pursuit,
and Oliver tired again, when Myers slap
ped his hand to his shoulder and reeled
off and Mr. Oliver went on '.o the au
thorilies and surrendered.
The liist bullet struck Mr. Myers
squarely in the chiu, shivered the bone,
knockeil four loelli out, took a downward
course and lodged in his throat, near the
collar bone. It was extracted by the
physicians. The other bullet shattered
the right arm so that two and one-hall
inches of the bone, near the shoulder, had
to be removed and amputation was nar
rowly escaped.
Mr. Oliver is manager of the extensive
oil aud fertilizer factory in Charlotte and
is identified with other leading industries
of thu city. Mr. Myers is a traveling
salesman for a large Northern firm and
makes Charlotte his headquarters and is
a favorite in both social and business
circles there.
Mr. Oliver denies the charge brought
against him by Mr. Myers and says he
was not oven i.cquainlod with tho lady.
Mr. Myers was considered by some of
the people at Morehead to lm acting
erazy-like before ho loft there.
The latest from Mr. Myers is that h is
much better, lie is at the home of
Mr. T. L. Alexander, near whore he was
shot. lie is to be taken to the hospital
at the cailiest practical moment. lie
has no fever and all his symptoms are
favorable but he has to keep in a silting
posture as the wound in his throat would
cause him lo choke should he lie down.

OUR PUBLIC BUILDING.
Senator Jarvis Appealed to to Procure
Its Prompt Construction
His Favorable Reply.
New Berne, N, C, July 2otli, Mil.
Hon. Thomas J. Jakvis,
Senate Chamlier,
Washington, 1). C,:
Dear Sir: .Allow me to present, for
your consideration the matter ol our
Public Building, lou are aware that by-
act of Congress approved March 2nd,
1X89, the sum of seventy-five thousand
dollars was appropriated with which to
purchase a situ and erect thereon a build
ing suitable for Post-oflice, Customs ami
Courts at New Berne, N. C.
The site was purchased over three
years ago, and nearly five and a half years
have elapsed since the passage of the act,
md allliougii during this period inaiiv
buildings have been constructed that were
authorized since this one for New liernc,
nothing further has been done within our
view toward the erection of the building.
This eligible site, located iu the business
center ot toe town, still remains un-
ulorued. a veritable eyesore, rankly over
grown with grass ami weeds a menace to
public health and a reproach to official
lolh.
Our people have been waiting long
md patiently lor a commencement of the
work on! v to have their hopes deferred
and to see the subject for a long tinio
seemingly wholy forgotten. In regard to
the matter we have had Mime coneqiond
eiice with our rcprepreseutntives and the
ollice ol' the supervising architect, the
only outcome ol which were a few small
uncertain assurances that show uo indi
cation to materialize to anything suli
stantial. In vic.v of the growth of our city, the
yearly expansion of its business and a
arge attendant increase in the business ol
the Post-oflice here, a Public Building is
conceded by all now to lie an absolute
no'essily.
We are told that large bodies move
slowly and great undertakings require
time lor consummation but there is Hom
ing like a little push, and an occasional
impetus will sometimes put the wheel in
motion.
On behalf of our people and in the in
terest of this city and section 1 am con
strained to aQk you lo give us the force ol
your persuasive argument and influence
in furtherance, of the construction of the
Public Building at New Benie,
We know full well we have a powerful
Vulcan at the lorge, and will rest satis
fied if we shall be so fortunate as to enlist
your sturdy co-operation iu this matter
that seems to require constant and heavy
hammering.
Awaiting your early reply, 1 am, dear
sir. yours very respectfully,
Wm. Ellis, Major.
I'niteh States Sknatk,
Washington, I). C, Aug- 4th, 18(14.
Ho.v. V.i. Eu.is. Mayor,
New Berne, N. C.
My Dear Sir; In reply to your favor
of the 20th of July, I beg to say, that we
are informed by the Architect of the
Treasury Department that the cause of
the delay in commencing work on the
Government Building in New Bern has
liceu attributable to tho fact that the
force in Ins office was Insufficient to pre
pare the plans and specifications tor the
rge numlier of buildings provided lor
by the several acts of Congress, He in
lorms me that he thinks be will be able
to commence work on your I uildiug by
the first of December next.
I also made a special visit today to see
the Secretary of the Treasury to urge
thai the work be'coinmcnced on the New
Bern building at the very earliest possible
lay. From him I learned also that the
delay had been caused by the iiisiillicient
forco iu the Architect's ollice, and that
this want of force arose from an insuffi
cient appropriation with which to employ
the necessary draughtsman. He, how
ever, promised to do what he could to
expedite flic matter. So I think our New
Bern friends may rest assured that me
work will be commenced within the next
few months.
Very truly yours,
Jnos. J. Jakvis.
A FAREWELL ODE.
TO THB OLD "GASTON HOUSE."
Farewell to thee, Home of my childhood,
Farewell to Ihec, New Berne s old fun,
Thou hast faced in thy life all its changes
Of success, failure, peace, and War's
din.
Plague, death, birth, lire, marriages which
have
Iu turn been allotted a space
In thy history's ponderous volume,
Where the eras their records did trace.
And now like a vessel thou aeemest,
That s braved many voyages to sea.
Then lacking some of Science 'new prow
ess,
To the past relegated must be.
Thy name in itself was a mission
Preserving integrity s say
And 'tis sad but to think in tliv down
fall,
' That thy tribute survived but a day.
The hearts that enshrined thee most truly,
No longer with earth s passions swell
And she, of the few who still love thee,
From a foreign chmo bids thee fare
well.
Farewell to thee, Home of my childhood,
Thou structure ol mortar and clay,
Tho' changes decree alteration,
I'll cherish thy mem ry alway.
