Some burglar or burglars attempted to break into Messrs. Nunn & ' McSorley's confectionary store bath Saturday and Sun day night. ' ; was known of the attempt Saturday night until Sunday.- morning wben.it was found that the front ' door lock had been tampered with and left so injured that it was with difficulty it could bo unlocked with the key," while the back door lock bad been broken all to pieces and " left so that any one could" readily have . entered, but there were no signs ol any one Laving Deen in tno store tue thieves probably took alarm at something when they bad pioceeded thus far. About midnight Sunday night, Mr. W. D. Mclver who bas his sleeping apart ments' over the store, and Mr. McSorley who lives opposite were both awakened by the , noise of son. e one again trying to gain unlawful admittance. They both came down, but the thieve evidently on the alert, got away without even being seen. Mr. McSorley sat up about two hours longer "watching and hoping for their retnrn, but they came no more. The young proprietors ot the store say that if the thieves had gotten in they could only have taken some of tlie'r con fectionery, that they would not have got any money, for they never leave any there Rolia'a Entertainment Rolla's Royal Entertainers gave a good show last nifht, portions of it were only ordinary but other parts were good enough to make up for it. The sleight-of-hand tricks were expert ly performed. The comediennes received frequent and loud applause they were repeatedly en cored. The wire-walking perlorinance was fair. . Tho skirt dancing was executed with grace and agility; it pleased the audience. The contortionist was astonishing; he seemed to have as many joints as a snake and to be about as supple. Not one whom we have heard speak of it ever saw his equal. One thing we can heartily commend, there was not tn indelicate expression used from beginning to end. The audience departed pleased and sat isfied. Announcement was made that the tronpe would play to-night with a new program, and introduc a troupe of trained dogs, and royal marionettes, and that the price, to-night will be IS, 25 and 35 cents. Captain Thos. Sonthgate. The steamer New Bern, Capt. Thos. Southgate, of the N. N. & W. Line, as our readers know, is now running on the E, C, D, line, in place of tho steam er Neuse, being chartered for that purpose while the latter is undergoing her annual over hauling, and under the consolidation of the two lines which goes into effect next mouth, the Now' Berne will continue to run to Elizabeth City from New Berne instead of to Norfolk as heretofore. ; The Elizabeth City Falcon Economist in noticing the change pays this unique compliment to the everywhere popular Captain: "We have rarely enjoyed greater pleas ure than on Saturday, in welcoming our veteran friend, Captain Thos. Snuthgate to our town and sanctum. He returns to the Elizabeth City and New Berne line, on the Steamer New Berne, after an ab sence of seven years. Surely our town must be on the upgrade when Captain Southgate comes back to put in an oar with uu. We had rather see him back here than to see a cotton factory or any new; industry, and we bid him welcome, thrice welcome in the name of all onr people." ,. - Hotel Chattawka Arrlra's , -1 . L.

"K '.'' : An exchange, tho Durham Sun, tells a plain truth when it Says that the easies" way to make people trade abroad is for home business men to neglect advertis ing. A merchant who does not advertise should be the lost to comnlain if the peo ple attracted byjiuoal advertising of progressive and enterprising merchants of other cities, place their trade or a good part of it with the more distant merchant who thus caters for it by informing them what he has in stock. As a general thing most of the people who send abroad for goods do so because they fee things advertised, which they think the local merchants do not keep, If tho local merchants would make A busi. ness of thoroughly advertising the goods they pi L u-lio and m certain casus, their .: ucli of ills Undo would be kept . 7'-" ' ut vn ho keeps them utl, info 1 i and tit.- p.U. 8 S ol a cu.." r t ke. 1 e '5 what they want it ut rcusonau.e lo complain 1 rond 1 Coming and Going Y1?'

Attend the Road Meeting To-day. Notice thecall Ibr the "good rond" meeting which Mr. Vf. W. Clark issues tor this afternoon at 4 o'clock at the city hall. Mr. Chirk has finished his canvass, se cured about a hundred subscribers to the scheme of macadamizing a portion of Neuse road, and he now calls the meet ing to lay his report before the subscrib ers and all other citizens interested, and every one of them should be there. It is earnestly desired that all subscrib ers attend, and that all others who can be present also. This is the initiatory step to improv ing the roads of the couu'.y. It is a very important matter. Road improvement is engrossing the attention of people all over the State, and Craven docs not pro pose to las behind in the procession. We must have as good roads as anybody. We specially hope that not a single county commissioner who i in the city will be absent Irom the meeting. WI mington Star Enlarged, The Morning Star of Wilmington has iw been running twenty-seven years. It is the oldest newspaper in tho State, and is to-day as bright and readable as at any period of its history. The Star is not only the oldest daily newspaper in the State but it can say what very few news papers ol such an age can, and that is there has been no change in its name, proprietorship or editorial management during the whole 27 years. In this world of changes that is a remarkable statement lor any business of that age to make. With its entrance upon the fifty-fifth semi-annual volumo the Star enlarges to an ci"ht column paper. It recently promised to do this provided a moderate mcreasi: ot ousiness came ana it says it lias come. We are glad to see th-so evi dences ot our cotcmporary's prosperity. May the Morning Star long continue to shine us brightly as it does now. Death of Dr F. L. field A letter to Mr. L. H. Cutler from his daughter, Mrs. J. C. Watkins, brings the news of the death of Rev. F. L. Reid, D. D the honored President of Greens boro Female college. He died about sun rise Monday morning from an affection of the stomach. He had been ill about a week and a half. Dr, Reid was for many years editor of the Christian Advocate. He severed bis connection with that paper last year to devote his life to educational work, ac cepted the Presidency of Greensboro Female college and was huiiding up this fluo institution which is always well patronized from New Berne, to a point it had never attained before. Dr. Reid was one of the brainiest ministers of the State and ranked - among the foremost educa tors. His death is a serious blow to hie church and to the State. '.

E OCR PUBLIC BUILDING. Aad How it May be Affected by the . Changes in the Architect's Office, As our readers know, Secretary Ciuli-le has -called for the resignation ot Super vising- Architect Ollourke, and it hus been tendered and accepted. The state ment is now made at the Treasury De partment that it will be a month or six weeks before the Secretary tills the va cancy made by the enforced resignation. We do not know how this may affect the erection ot our Public building, which been so olten and so long delayed, and which is now promised to be started in - December, but we think it is well enough to call the attention of O'Rourke's successor, as quickly as be is appointed to the way that this matter stands and our need for the prompt erection of the building; it would be too bad for another delay to occur. It is announced moreover that a reform of great importance which Secretary Car lisle contemplates making in the archi tect's office is in the matter of specifica tions for public buildings. Heretofore the pretext Das obtained of permitting biddeis to designate w hat kind of stone they propose to use, and to give their figures accordin.-ly. Then, the fight would be carried before the Secretary of the Treasury as to tho selection of the material for the building and the bidder proposing the cheapest stone would, everything else being equal, be awarded the contract. Secretary Carlisle will now first decide whether a public building shall be constructed of granite, limestone, marble or any other material, and if so of what kind, and then the bids will be called for that material. We uubesitatingly and firmly declare our choice of tho material to he used in constructing our buildiug to be our own native, natural product, the beautiful shell rock found so extensively along the banks ot Trent river and elsewhere. It is at once durable and novel, and will make a handsomer building than san be put up at tho same cost with any other material. The lodge occupied by the keeper of tho National cemetery here which is built ot it, never fails to attrict the attention and admiration of visitors. A fine Public Building iu the heart of the city Kou'd do s 111 a much greater wny. It would be a Public Building such as no other city in the State or even in the South could boast of. It would stand unique nnd for the present at least without a rival. By all means let the material he shell rrck. We aro satisfied this rock is not ouly our choice but the choice likewise ot our citizens. This being so let Secretary Car lisle's attention be called to the fact so that when the bids arc advertised for they will call for this material. As wo said, we have no information as to how the change in tho Architect's office will affect the matter of starting work on the building, but if the matter is looked after properly and promptly by our people we do not believe it will havo any undesired effect we expect it will be rather otherwise, if it makes any differ ence at all. It is said that whon Secre tary Carlisle makes the appointment O'Rourke's . successor will go into a thoroughly rc-organized office, with the scientific, and technical branches of the work segregated from the purely admin istrative branches. This will be a depart ure long contemplated by Secretary Car lisle, as the principal source of trouble in the architect's office during tho former and the present administrations has been the clash between the scientific and non scientific branches of the office. The architect's duties in the future will be confined as much as possible to the purely scientific and technical branches of the work, such as engineering, drafting, construction and repair work, wh'de the administrative branches of the office, such as the awarding of contracts, the accounts of divisions and the clerical work will bo under the supervision of the Secretary of tt Treasury. Secretary. Carlisle will de- rote much of the time intervening be tween now and the appointment of the new architect in perfecting the re organ- izarjon ot the office on the plan, the rough outline of which is given above. ' Kentuckv and West Vireinia have cer tainly got the grit. - One of the orators of the latter State was addressing a crowd and a row was precipitated on the grounds in which revolvers .were ireeiy useti.

The Democratic Congressional commit tee of the Ashland (Ky.) District have officially declared W. C. Owen's to be the nominee. The count gives him 255 plurality over Breckcnridge. The attempted Populist-Republican fusion in Wake couuty is breaking all to pieces. Republicans are denouncing it and populists are deserting it The latter in disgust at the treachery of their trusted leaders in trying to sell them into the Rodictd camp are flocking back home to good and sound old Democracy. Wo learn from the Raleigh Christian Sun that there are one hundred students gathered at Elon College. "The greatest opening in the history of the institution !

Among the number were about a hundred Populists and colored people of whom it is said that two years ago not one of the Populists, or one fourth of the colored people would have been present. Mr. Simmons is spoken of as being in his happiest vein and having made a convin cing and effective speech. Are you a friend to popular education? Then stand by the Democratic partv. During the years of 1868, 1869 and 1870. when the Republicans were in power, they collected $406,435.02jfor school purposes, but spent only $38,981.86 for common schools, misappropriating the balance. Last year, under Democratic- administra tion, there was collected for schools and expended for that purpose, tho sum ol $760, 923.81. Twin City Daily Senti nel. Democratic extravagance is one of the issues to be raised by the Republicans in this campaign. We should smile I Cleve land left nearly $250,000,000 in the treas ury and alter tour years ot Kepublican rule under Harrison, tho Democrats, when they again came into power, not only found that their two hundred and filty millions had disappeared but that, on account of the unparallelled extrava gance aud corruption of the Billion Dol lar Congress a deficit was actually threat ened. Democratic extravagance, lorsootli I Oh, cheek, where is thy blush! Wil, Review. The amazing ignorance of the English people, as a whole, of American affairs, has often been commented on, and their ludicrous statements laughed at, but of every manifestation of it hitherto brought to light the following is easily the most extraordinary.
