This is the first reel the city has bought in addi tion to those it had before the construc tion of llii) water works, but it is likely that more will follow. They should be purchased and scattered over the city as fast as companies are formed to manage them and the finances of the city will permit. Five hundred yards of hose were al ready in the house awaiting the coning of the reel, it proved of good service in the lire of Wednesday night. Now should another lire occur the company can work o belter advantage. Prof. Ileruler Arrives.

Miss Corinne Harrison, daughter of John M. F. Harrison and Virginia Har rison, bom in the city of New Berne, N. C, on the 21st day of November, 1858; died in Chapel Hill, N. C, Aug. 29th, 1894; age 35 year. She graduated at Greensboro Female College, May 1875, with the valedictory. She began teach ing school at Durham, N. C, iu the fall of the same year. She came to New Bcme in 1878 and established a private school, which she taught successfully for four years, and then guve it up in the in terest of public schools iu her own native home. She went to Quinry. Mass., in the interest of public graded - hool work so as to establish ) . ,u her native city hut did not lelu.n, but took a posi tion m ijuincy went Ironi 'h re to Bos ton, where she t : i ! i 1 t l"' m. years, bear ing the record of one ol ilie best teachers in tliut city from the Superintendent of the Boiton pubiic schools, and then she stopped her teaching to perfect herself in the Ling System of physical culture and English at the Harvard Annex, which she hoped to make a sMc ,ill y. ami I hen she caino South as Principal of the Honvni wity school .i- Norfolk. Va., where .-be extab'i'dii'd the Ling syste-n, which she made s success. She remained principal of this school till the death ot the toun.ler, and through her inlhiciicc and adyite the Board of Education of that city bought the build ing lor a high school, isking her to return mi' take, charge of the work which she had so successliillv managed. Her latest work for education so dear o tier heurl was that done during the ummer at tho Scho lis of Methods throughout the South, and at the Nation al Tciklieis' Association. Asbury Park. .1., at which place her address on 'What Makes, W bat Mars the Teacher,'' won for In r a national reputation. After thoe duties she went to Chapel liill to re-t quiellv until her lull work hould hecin. Strange to say that her last w ords in the interest of education were said where her Urst were when she tailed her work as a brave, courageous girl, showing then as always, an enthu siasm and zeal for the best, moral, and in tellectual progress as a standard of education. Miss Harrison was not only possessed of high culture and refinement but she was an instructress with very advanced ideas a teacher of teachers. A paper which she read before the North Carolina Teacher's Assembly, one of the largest and best gatherings of its kind in the South, was strongly complimented for its advanced ideas and progressive thought, the ideas were not only progressive but to a large extent new. Wo have heard more tlian one remark tuni Miss Harri son's death was a loss to the State. Dr. Jno. S. Long, who has just return ed frcm Baltimore, and was horrified to hear ot Miss Harrison's death says: -She was uu honor to New Borne and to the whole State. She possessed a strong and resolute character and was a born teacher. Her education had been carried far be yond her early advantages at home and at Greensboro Female college, in ad vanced Northern schools and under learned Northern lrotessors until usa scholar she stood among tbe foremost lady teachers of her State. She had a most sweet and womanly temper towards her friends and those who knew hor. She was full of ambition, and of a determina tion to go forward. There was absolutely no limit to her plans. She acknowledged nothing to be impossible that was in the road of duty and excellence as a teacher. and her character stood high among the noblest Professors of the land. New Borne should cherish her memory and the whole State should honor the name of such a woman. HAPPENINGS OF THE DAY, Durham has had a baby show and raised fifty dollars by it for the church. The Civil Service law seems to be more talked about than enforced. An engine made entirely of papierma- cho has been added to the lire department or Berlin.

J . c ' A special- to the Richmond Dispatch tells that Louis Bel rose, Jr., of Washing ton City, attempted -suicide in Asheville, by placing tbe hilt of his sword against a tree and pressing his body against its point. : He did this three times; the sword pierced his liver once and it is doubtful if he can recover lrom.tbe wounds. Mr. Belrose was formerly'a lieutenant in the United States navy and is about 43 years old. Ho in company with his family, is in Asheville, for bis health. Despon dency on account . of ill health was the cause of his attempted suicide. : , UASKILL'S MATTRESi MACHINE. One of ill" Greatest Labor Saving De vices ot Hi) Day and Due 1 hat Wi , Doubtless Prove a Miuipy Maker. Within I he next lew years fully two- thirds of the mattress makers of the United States, and ol all other mattress using countries, will be thrown out ol employment, or the manufacture of that commodity on which we. pass more than one-third our life will he throe times great er than the demand. This is a somewhat startling statement, but one which is thoroughly conservative in light of the splendid results easily obtained from the niatlress feeling machine recemly per fected by our townsman Mr. Thomas Uaskill. and for which a patent was grant I on August 21th. The statement is rather too cons -rvafive, ill truth, for whereas it is based on work accomplished by two geii'.ieiiu u who 'are wholly inex perienced in the art and science ofniat- tie.ss making, it follows that labor ol ex-peruiir-e will do much more; thus the 1 1 :i i : i probability ,s that within seviral fa: - in imp -evdal months more thoi tiiKv-uiuricis uf the men who now ;i u ilic:,- daiiy biead in a ma1 tress fae eywiubc compt lied to turn their at 1 1 1 1 i.j in other pui'suib. Kigln expi-ii workmen are only able, .-.lay. I" lia'.sh forty cotton top iniit i s. An employer who has eight oi itiiicn !o. average forty mattresses pel ilivol ten hours, considers Inuisaii fortunate in the possession of workmen so ,cr. With eight workmen and Gas- kill's matU'iiss nniker, one hundred and twenty nialti'oses in a day ot ten hours is not e-pecialiy good work; it is only ordi nary, high! men who arc iiioroitgniy lamiliar v ith the operation should no boiler work, b it our estimate is minimiz ed. Another advantage the machine has .; the iiiiin is that the work turned out is not on ! v greater in iniantity and liner in linish, but is robbed entirely of its present disagreeable operation?. Mattress making by liainl entails upon the workmen the breathing ot untold cpuin titles of dirt, and dust into the lungs; the very first opera tion is to run the body head tirsl into the rear end of the tick and carelully lay the straw; this must bo kept up until the tick is full of straw before tlio workman has a chance to breath pure air. For nearly one hour his nose is within six inches of the straw, and his head and body shoved well into the tick and though he may have been, just prior to entering, as clean as a clear sky, when he emerges he is tbe color of simple dirt - -his eyes are blinded and his cars and u jslrils full ol dirt and dust. The whole process of tilling a mattress, whether it be n cotton top straw or the the finest hair or wool article, is accom plished with the machine by merely turn ing a small crank, the operator being some distance from tbe tick. A box or chute contains the straw and both are forced into the tick when tho box is with drawn the straw remains in the tick. The only thing left to do before the mat tress is all ready to be lain on is the sew ing up of one end and tufting. One man easily sews and tufts a mattress in half an hour. Two men with tho machine can easily fill a tick in live minutes; therefore when eight men are at work, two liihn ticks and six sewing and tulting the output every hour is twelve mattresses, or one hundred and twenty in one day of ten hours. Tho same eight nien without the machine and iloing their level best could only turn out fortv good mattresses. Tho groat beauty of the machine is its extreme simplicity, anil though tree troin any complication it can be easily turned in a few seconds into a machine that lills a single size or quarter size mattress. It must be seeu from the foregoing that this invention is a great labor saver. A manufacturer who now employs twenty- four men to produce ono hundred and twenty mattresses per day will be en abled with the machine to produce the samo number of mattresses with only one- third the number of employees, thus dispensing Willi eighteen employees. Each workman must cost at least one dollar per day, which would be a saving to the manufacturer who used the ma chine of $4,308 per year. Thus it is clear that U skill's mattress machine is of great value, though it costs only a leit dollars to make it. Bolts and bars are cheap; but a lively brain in the head of a genius that so or ganizes and arranges these obedient ser vants mere iron and wood tnat tney De come instruments by which thousands and thousands ot dollars are annually saved the manufacturer this brain and its ideas are priceless, invaluable, and will very likely bo the Oases on winch price is set for this wonderfully clever machine. Mr. Gaskill has been most fortunate ui securing the aid, co operation and hearty support in the business end of his inven tion ot our citizen Mr. Frank rutterson a gentleman in every .way welt and ably fluidified to look after the dollars and cents that should find themselves traveling towurd the purse of the inventor. The patent is owned jointly by these two. Messrs. Gaskill & Patterson, and while the one has had the invention genius to give to the world a truely wonderful piece of mechanism, the other will be the genius who shall show to the world that "there are millions in it." Last uight after we had seen Mr. Goo. Wyman a gentleman who is enthusias tic over the invention and who will very nrobablv aid in nutting it on the market and Mr. Gaskill made a number of mat tresses in a few minutes as though it were child's play, we turned to the inventor and said: "Mr. Gaskill, would you tell us how you came to hit on this idea? Tell us the story of the invention,'' "Why certainly,'' was the ready reply. Mr. Gaskill is a toll, slender, happy faced man. boneatli whose merrv exterior lay a seriousness and depth of thought little dreamt of by the casusal listener whose sides more than otlcn acne ironi inordinate laughter nroduced bv some joke or anecote that falls from the inven tor's lips as demy ana somy as a sunoeam from heaven. There are stored into tbe innermost recess of his active brain devi ces that may make him to rank some day with the ablest inventors ot tue time. And the world will know much of him at no distant dav. :ir' ..'! 'v 'One day." lie .besran "about three years ago, I stood watching one of Mr. Outer's matrtess makers while engaged in shoving straw into the tick. For nearly one hour his head and shoulders werehid from view, and when he caino out the tick ho was lilled with dirt and dust and straw. He had perspired so freely that I may with truth state that he was covered with mud. His eyes were red aud somewhat inflamed, and from the nunilier ol times he sneezed I took it that something was the matter with his olfactory nerves; he cer tainly came very near pulling off the en tire probucis. so desperate was he in an exertion to relieve himself of a terrible itching sensation! Presently he sneezed harder than 1 efore, and to my astonish ment and his satisfaction a well grown frog hopped from his right nostril to the floor. He was instantly stepped upon and, so far as I know, has given no trouble since. 'The sight saddened me. 'For goodness sake,' I thought, 'is there no way to make mattresses without becoming covered in nure and breathing Irogs? 1 began to ihiuk seriously. Soon the idea of a ma chine that would till a tic so lilled my mind that it was only with a great effort I could consider ought else. I drew all sorts of devices; made strange models and fa l ti rriblc night-mares. I have passed many a night wilhout sleep while buried deep in thought, although it was neces sary I should be at my post early in the moming. Before long I evolved the idea of the present machine. I conducted a model which is now in Washington. I proved my theory and showed it up to Mr. Patterson. He rendered mo the de sired aid and that is the story of tne in vention."
