Two buildings went bnrned the distillery it se'.l, and the sterago bouse. Mr. John Ellis, book-keeper and mana ger of the business roughly estimates the ge at a tliousand dollani. There was no insurance. - Seven or eight streams ot water from the water works played on the buildings. The Are was a remarkably quick one, owing to the strong east wind which pre vailedbut the firemen worked well, as they always do, and all the property , on the" opposite side of the street was saved, though it seemed impossible at one time to do so. A little loss was suffered by the people moving out and the residence of Mr. Bisnlght caught, but was extin guished. The water did some damage. A visitor to the city said he never saw volunteer firemen work as ' .urs" did yes terday. They worked as bard as the occasion demanded, but we have seen them work just as faithfully when much more ardent and risky service was re quired. Our firemen aro rightly tho pride of our city.

Tho Speaking a, the Popolist ton vrnlion After the budntss of the People's Party convention was transacted there were three addresses mde. The first wits by Mr. E. L. Franck ol Onslow. He gave a condensed history of financial legislation since the war. He said some people declared you could not legislate money into the pockets ofthe people but that the Republicans had leg islated it out and that if it could be legis lated out it could ba legislated back into them. He found fault with the financial action of the Democrats, and attacked appointments that had been made by Cleveland and confirmed by the senate, and also the Tariff legislation. : In the main . the speech was a good, sensiUe one, with very little to which a Democrat would object, except that if Mr Franck Could : draw -off enough votes it would result in- placing the Republicans back in power with all the evils wJ en dured .when they .had the reins ol Gov ernment., V ' .T i "' v '.' :: : ' But there Were a few things which Mr. Franck did not telL He failed to say that the Democratic majority in the Sen ate was so small the defection of two or three from a measure would ensure its detest and. that it was owing to one or two in the Senate : that the bill was not better : than it was, and he failed to say anything of how much lower the tariff had been made on many articles in com' nion use, .... " Mr. W, H. Smith made a very brief audcess. '- 1 t . - - ' ' . -,v Dr. Cyrus Thompson, the Third party candidate tor Congress, spoke at consider able length. One .ot the leading leaturcs in iU speech -was talking about Demo cratie majorities in ' negro : counties in Alal ama aud elsewhere, and chanting the Democrats with fraud. ; lie also advised the colored people not to be led off by what Isaac Smith or anybody else might say. i , . i'.'.A Hard Time Price;, ': Watch crystals put In Hunting case watches lor 10c, open case at 15c, main spring 75c., cleaning 75c., both warranted 1 year.

G. Shaw, Democratic nominee - for Congress,, was announced 'for last night, but. Dr. Cyrus Thompson, Third Party . candidate for the same -office, being, in the city the speaking was turned into a joint discus sion. " " . . The discussion was opened by Mr. Shaw. He showed up the absurdities of the Third party very strongly and defied any one to show any good done by any populist in Congress. He showed that on the other hand they had introduced bills which would have called tor 85 bil lions not millions,hut billions of dollars; showed also that Pfefer wa'i' d all taxes upon real estate, r it., strong reason against any tanner's wanting siHi a party in power. ' Mr. Thompsou tiKiol on many lines and covered as much ground as any speaker could have done in the same length of time. He Slid among thiDgs that he had been asked if he would vote for a negro il nominated and that the purpose of the question was to drive off white men if be said yes, and colored voters if he sai l i.o, but ha said he would tell it honestly, that he did not believe tho C 'l-rvd men wanted bim to vote for tliem, that witli rare exceptions ho did not think they were fit to hold office and that lor these reasons he would not. As in the daytime before the congres sional convention, Dr. Thompson charg ed elections frauds apon Democrats and predicted revolution unless tliey were stopped. llis spaecli abounded in wit and was enjoyed even by those who did not agree with him at all. Each speaker aMy championed his party, showing up its merits and tho de merits of the other. Thoy were speeches from which voters could learn, but then there were more personalities indulged in by each speaker than we liked to see. A broad discussion of the issues upon a high piano is preferable. Democrats have much to gain from thesu discussions. They bring out tho truth and prtscntit forcibly to the voter, and with a proper understanding of what tho Democratic party is accomplishing in the face ot maniiold obstacles, tho victory that will be achieved in November will be all the wore grand and glorious. North Carolina's Need of a Reformatory The Journal has, in a number of articles in the past, called attention to tho fact that the present system of treating all convicts, youthful offenders and hardened criminals alike was calculated to produce more hardened criminals out of some who might be saved from their evil ca reer if a reformatory were established for them. VYe are glatl to see that the sub ject is attracting notice both trom thoushtful educators and the press. We clip the following bearing on the subject from the North Carolina Baptisl: Capt. C. B. Denson, of Raleigh, is striving to get North Carolina to estab lish a reformatory for youn? criminals. He says: "There are now sixty institutions in the United States for the reformation ot young offenders. One of thess alone, the New York House of refuge, which takes tho worst class of youug criminals, has re ceived 25,000 since its establishment in 1829, of which more than one-half have been restored to society as useful mem bers. We have a great need in our own State of such an institution. Carefully gathered statistics from the several counties of North Carolina by tho Board of Public Charities, shows three hundred minors are annually committed to the jails. Uan't the next legislature make provis ion for such a needed institution ? QUARTERLY CONFERENCE. New Berne District, 4th Round, F. D. 7-v : Swindell, P. . . New Berne District, 4th round, F. D.

' The dairy industry .in North Carolina within tbe last ten years has , increased to a remarkable extent, for more than is gen erally supposed. Bulletin No. 101 pf the N. C. Experiment Station treats of the state's progress in this direction and gives several reasons theretdr, one of which Is tbe adoption of the "no-fence" law. in so many of the counties, and another is the determined progressiveness pr citizens in so many localities. ' . ;. ' A ' plausible1 argument is sometimes offered in favor of closing a church or a Sunday-school for a season. But if that argument be Valid and forceful, and there is no good reason for keeping open the pb.ee of religious instruction, why should the workers resume their toil i Six days aud twenty hours out . of seven days would seem to be vacation enough for a--)0dy. Yet there are those who want and - take it. 3unday fdiool 1 i. . . PEOPLES PARTY CONTENTION.

How to escape payment of the income tax is the most absorbing question among the wealthy skinflints ofthe country, and there is little doubt that many of them will find a way. A chemist has discovered a process for solidifying whiskey and other liquors into tablets like chocolate. You can thus eat your booze or dissolve it into liquid form at your pleasure.

The factors expect to do a larger busi ness this year than formerly, savs the Augusta Chronicle, and aro sanguine that last year's receipts will be over-reached if the present crop prospects hold out And unless some unforeseen disaster oc curs before tne crop is gathered, it will exceed last year's crop by a million or a million and a half bales. These are tbe figures of conservative cotton men who have studied the situa tion, and who for years, have made a business of studying the crop. They believe the outlook is a great deal better than at this time last year; but disagree with the somewhat exaggerated reports tliat have been sent out from various points in tho South. Une report which gained currencv through the press it was given out bv some cotton firm placed the estiniale of this year's yield at 10,000 bales. This, conservative cotton men believe to be ex travagant. Last vear's vield reached seven and a half million bales, and it was not such a bad crop. This vear the best estimates are that the total yield in bales will be between eight and nine million bales. Ot course there is a great deal of un certainty a tached to any estimate that might be made ot the cominr crop. Wuilo it is practically made, a storm or an early frost might destroy at least half a million Dales. Said apioniinent cotton factor yester day: "JNo cotton man, no matter how well posted, can talk with certainty about the cotton outlook. The possi bility and probability of rsins and early frost furnish so many wide opportunities for a change iu tho situation that it will hi several weeks befbro anything can be said with den'niteness. "The greatest danger which we have to fear is an early frost. Such a calamity might cut off the crop to the extent of a iia.lt a million bales; therefore in speaking of it, it is necessary to allow a wide mar gin for such occurrences. "It is just simply guess work to talk about what the crop will be. We can only tell what it is now. Speaking from tne present outlook, the future will be good." I expect a crop of between eight ana nine million bales.' MiHatchiHawu$on Will be pleased to see any who may wish PIAN0-O-LESSONS at the home of Dr. Chas.
