Wc give below the resolurions adop
ted by the Bishops of the M. E. Church
N'prth, -as published in the New York
Christian dvocate.
The firs, whereas is correct accord
ing U our undemanding of the case.
It is only deficient in that it fails to Icll
what was preacl.ed and taught by Mr.
and Mrs. Joiner. Of the second where
as of course no one but His presiding
bishopship can know his feelings, but
it is known that Mr. Joiner nude
Greensboro his home for several weekj
before his departure for Ohio and that
while here, nothing could be consider
ered cause of ft.ar for his personal safety.
Of tho third whereas, from what the
writer was told by Mr. Joines about the
joca! authorities in Randolph county,
the county where Joiner was assaulted,
and from statements in North Caroli
na papers from Gov. Fowl concerning
the matter, we feel sure that all action
has been taken by the officers lo pun
ish the offenders, that could be expect
ted to be taken on the information
J they had
Of the resolution passed, we can say
that the majority of North Carolina
protest against the treatment of Joiner
and would insist upon thf interposi
tion of national authority if we had
any reason to .believe that the local
authorities of the State and the Gov.
had been negligent of their ' duties in
the matter.
Whereas, The Rev. T. M. Joiner,
has been assaulted and wounded by
fire-arms at the hands of masked men
and in the night, and has been driven
foih fits pastoral cruree for no other
reason, so far as we can learn, than
that he preached to negro congrega
tions, and his wife taught negro chil
dren; and
Whereas, His Presiding Bishop,
for the preservation of the lives of
Brother Joiner and his wife, has felt
himself compelled to take him out of
the State in which he was injured;
and
Whereas, We cannot learn that any
adequate effort has been made by the
local and State authorities to detect
and punish his assailants, or to procure
such security in his ministerial work,
and for his person and family, as all
ought to receive in the United States
of America; therefore
Resolved, That we protest against
such an invasion of sacred . rights as
our brother has suffered; against such
cruel and barbarous methods as were
employed to drive him from his work;
against such aparpent indifference to
public orde; and we demand, for all
our people, the unchallenged right
to perform their ecclesiastical duties
anywhere in the United States of Ame
rica; and we insist that in the case of
the failure of the local authorities to
give protection and to administer jus
tice, such cases ought to come within
the scope of National investigation
and authority.

I'anacrlvaala Law,
We clip this morning an editorial
from the New York Star on the recent
decision of the Supreme court in Penn
sylvania whi h is to the effect that a
guest at a hotel is entitled to all the
food that is set before him, and if he
docs not eat it all at the time, he has
a right to take it with him. This sug
gests the stuffing of hand bags and car
pet sacks, which calls to mind the case
of the traveler who stopped at an inn
and put his carpc sack on the chair
beside him while at dinner. The style
of this boarding house was to put the
whole bill of fare on the table and not
be bothered with orders. When the
traveler asked his bill, he was told that
he would have to pay for two as his
carpet sack had occupied a chair at
the table. Very well, he said, and he
opened his loose sided carpet sack and
filled it up, paid his fare and left en
tirely satisfied that he had got the
most of his money.
EXPLOSION1 ON ASIIIP.
Pailadelfhia, Tune 5. An ex
plosion occurred in the tank steamer
Hans nd Kurt, lying at the Atlantic
Oil Refinery Company's dock at
Point Breeze, about 4 o'clock this af
ternoon. The vessel was ruined and
800,000 gallons of oil, together with
considerable wharf property, includ
ing a brick storage building, were
destroyed by the fire u hich , resu ted
from the explosion.
There had been no fire aboard the
vessel, and no cause for the explosion
is known, unless it be spontaneous
combustion. ' ' , - ;
The force of the explosion was tre
mendous.' The crew ran from the
siiip a toon as it occurTedf but the
members of the city Fire Department
who responded to two alarms sentin,
went aboard the burning steamer and
threw lines to the tugs which came
tor her assistance. The lines were
quickly made fast, and as the tugs
towed the doomed steamer out into
the stream heavy streams of water
were thrown on her from their
pumps
After getting her clear of the sur
rounding shipping, the steamer, now
a mass of flames, was towed a dis
tance of about a mile down the Del'
aware, wheTe she was run aground.
Here for four hours water was poured
on hef from all sides by ie tugs
which surrounded her.
The vessel is almost completely
burned out. Her side and deck plates
are warpd out of shape, and she will
virtually have to be rebuilt.
Tht lavatory Explalaed.
It is an open secret now that the
"business on which Mr. J as. Yates was
bent a morning or two ago, which he
characterized as "worse than fishing,"
related to his farm' some distance out
in the country. He was seen again
early this morning, accompanied by
Mr. Cobb, making his way to the same
destination, but on account of the pros
pect of a rainy day the two returned,
Mr. Cobb was set down at home and
Mr. Yates pursued his way, determined
to run all risks. The interests of the
farm require one sometimes not only
to take the chances, but to take the
rain also.

The man who lid the foundation
work for the residence of Rev. R. II.
Wills on Worth Street miscalculated to
such an extent that when the work was
completed it failed to answer the pur
pose and had to be thrown down and
done oyer again at a cost of $15.00 to
Mr. Sam Brown the contractor. When
it was inspected the wall was found to
be 3 inches out of square in one place,
1 inches too short in one place and
4 inches too short in another; 4 inches
too large and 9 inches out of level. No
wonder it had to be taken down.

The new Greensboro Ice Compa
ny, Wharton, Jackson & Co., pro
prietors, are now engaged in putting
up their machinery, and expect to be
turning out b.ocks of solid comfort

chinery is of the most approved stle,
and has a capacity of 7$ tons per day.
It was manufactured by the York
Manufacturing Company, York. Pa.
It consists of a 50 horse boiler, with
an elegant patent flue cleaner, or
blower, and a perpendicular conden
ser tank, 16 feet high, with 1000 feet
of coil, also single action compression
pumps. The machinery is being
fitted for running by Mr. Stuart St
Clair, who represents the York man
ufacturing company.
Hahroail Ontiructlon.
' Mr Tildcn, who is in the city just
from Mexico says, that there is a
great deal of railroad construction go
ing onin that country. The roads are
all Eeing built by foreign capital.-
The Mexican government admits
the material used in construction free
of duty and also exempts the lands of
the roads from taxes. The cost of
conduction per mile in Mexico is
grea er than it is in the United States.

''California will have a big crop of
peaches, apricots, prunes, &'c, enough
to supply alL Blackberries 3jts, with
one million five hundred thousand
pounds carried into next season, almost
enough to do for an entire season."
