A Pluoky Copper and. His Experience With a Sleeper, An inoident In whioh a policeman and a young man resides in one of a row of brick booses on a populous residence . street in tbe First Police Precinct were the principal actors, and which came near producing a ghost story rivaling tbe Jajoous one which stirr cf East Washing ton several years ago, occurred in the still hours of the after midnight watch one night last week. The young man is still regarded with suspicion by his neigh bors, and the policeman has barely re covered from the shock 'the, affair gave him. - -y; ; ... ; The yonng man is a somnambulist. He has frequently been caught in the lulls, parading up and down, clad only in a night shirt, and carrying pitchers of "water around, bnt until the other night his slumbering fancy had never led him ont of doors. On that occasion he must have "been more than usually restless, for he arose from his bed about 1 o'clock in the morning and sallied forth. It was , a eold night, but the chill had no eff ct on him, and he walked slowly np and down the street, his robe de nnit flapping, ghost like enongh, in the breeze. ,The policeman who figures in the tal had just turned in at the patrol box and was walking down the street when he saw the figure ahead bf him. His first impulse was to jump behind a tree box and shouffor help, bnt wiser ideas pre vailed. The thought of a ghost gave way before the more probable one of an "escaped lunatic, and bracing himself for a fight, the copper sped softly up be hind the figure and made a fierce grab forlt The yonng man was thoroughly awak- ' ened by the dutch, and when he had .done tumbling about and fully regained his senses, explained matters, and was led back to his door.; As he had not taken the precaution to place a latch key in his pocket of his night, however, he -. found himself locked out,and he was compelled to pull vigorously on the bell handle before he could arouse the in mates of the house. Of coarse, though, the noise awoke everybody in the adjoin ing houses, and numerous heads were stack ont of windows. , The sight of the ' yonng man in his night shirt trying to get in his own house at 1 o'clock in the morning was enough to scandalize them, andthat's why be leaves his home early sow and does not returned until nightfall.

Avirett and wife, of Kit trell, left the city on the 11:45- train, They go to Rocky Mount this "morning. where Mr. Avirett will lecture to night on: "My Recollections of Plantation Life on the South Before the War: How we Lived in the Great House and How we Lived in the Cabin." The lecture is for the benefit of the central shaft in the North Carolina lot in the Confederate cemetery at Winchester. We hear that this lecture is upon the most interesting line of clean cut emphasis of the patri archal feature of the institution of slavery in contradiction to the commer cial view on which Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowe laid such special stress In Uncle Tom's Cabin, by the wonderful power of which book the Northern mind was largely flamed with the fierce feat of re ligious fanaticism, sharply differentiat ing patriotism. Back Home From the Convention In Baltimore. Mrs. Wm. M. Parsley and Miss Mary F. Meares, delegates from North Caro Una to the convention of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, held the past week in Baltimore, returned home last evening. They were charmed with their trip and speak in the most appre ciative terms of the many delightful courtesies extended by the Baltimore Daughters of the Confederacy. Ou Wednesday evening a magnifioent re ception was given at Lehmann hall to the delegates, and on Thursday evening a tea was given at the Soldiers' Home. Besides these functions thtre were man; charming private entertainments. Wil mington Messenger. A Nuisance. The painting of signs upon the side walks of the city ought to be stopped. It is becoming a nuisance. Would it not be a good thing for the aldermen to pass an ordinance prohibiting it? Or if there is already one let it be enforced. News & Observer. We think that our esteemed contem porary is a little two straight laced about this "Nuisance." The practice is very slightly indu'ged in and even if it were to a large extent we cannot see that it is damaging or interfering with the publio good. Special Temperance Sermon. It is a custom of mine to give at least one Sunday a year to special temperance work. Therefore, next Sunday, Novem ber the 21st, has been set apart as tem perance day in Central Methodist chnrch. The public generallyand all temperance societies and persons, in particular, are hereby invited to attend and take part.

Considerable capital from McKeesport and vicinity promises to be invested in southern property in the near future. A short time ago Devenny Bros., wil known brokers of this city, had occasion to insert an advertisement in some southern pa pers to arrange an exchange of property for one of th"ir clients, a wealthy citizen of this city, who, on account of his health, desired to go south and to ex change his interests here for southern property. Toe result of his advertise ment was not only a satisfactory ex change made for the property of their client, but so many desirable properties were effered that some capitalists repre sented by Devenny Bros, had their at tention drawn to the proposition, and they were so interested, thought the field so good, that Mr. Devenny will leave in a few days to be absent three weeks, during which time he will visit. a number of the principal citits, will meet quite a number of prominent south ern capitalists, and will inspect a large number of properties offered. If thej prove to be as attractive as represented, and Mr. Devenny can recommend them as being desirable, a great deal of capital from this vicinity will likely be Invested there. . . No better representative could be se cured than Mr. Devenny, whose wide travel and association with southern in terests and his long and prominent iden tification with the representative com mercial interests of this vicinity through the bard of trade and through corpor ations, especially fits him for his mission, and he will no doubt be given a warm reception in southern financial circles. McKeesport Times. ; Active Work Begun. The work of excavation for the foun dation of the Capital Club's new three- stdryf. magnificent building, which this organization will build at the corner of Martin and Salisbury streets, is beiog pushed forward with activity. Iu a few weeks the noble structure will begin to rear its head to a level of its tallest neighbors, and will, when finished, be a fit companion for the Academy of Music block, and will be an ornament to that almost incomparable street, Martin. From Wilmington street to the Union station, to street in Raleigh presents a more beautiful appearnnce than Mirtiri. The most imposing building is the sky scraper (the Park Hotel), with its five or six stories of pressed brick. B th sides of the paved Btreet are filled with beau tiful stores aud residences. The Daily Post. The brick foundation for the new press of the coming morning daily paper for this city, the Post, is nearing comple tion. The press, which is a double feed, has already arrived, and is said to be a hummer. To morrow the press will be put up, and In a few days thereafter the new daily, which will be Democratic in polities, will be launched upon the sea of newspaperdom. Bright, brainy wri ters will occupy the editorial and news departments, and nothing will be left undone to make the new venture a com plete eucotss. The new paper has the good wishes of the Times. TWO FIRE ALARMS. But1 There Were No Fires of Conse . quence. A burning chimney In the sonthwes tern part of the city was the occasion of oalling out the fire department at noon to-day. No damage. : The fire last night was an insignificant affair. The roof of the kitchen at the old Jordan Womble idenoe on East Hargctt street caught from a defective flue. It was speedily put out Damage very slight. . Epidemic of Typhoid at Wythevllle. Bristol, Tenn., Nov. 15.

NEEDHAM Revival at the Tabernacle Baptist Church. SAVED THROUGH GOD THAT WAS THE SUBJECT OF HIS DIS COURSE LAST NIGHT. Salvation Teaches us That We Are to Live Soberly for Ourselves and Godly for God. The revival which Kev. Thos. C. Ncd ham inaugurated at tho T iboti aclt; Bap tist church last Sunday night promises to result in mucB good to the cause of Chrki. New penitents present them selves at each service to become children of God. The preaching of EvaDgelist Needham is penetrating. lie does not depend upon rhetoiical fl mrishes nor brilliant flights to . ctheiial skies, nor word painting to show sinners the waj of salvation, but he unfcMs the beautiful petals of the choicest rosi s and lilies of the Bible which disclose the teaching of Christ and Him crucified. The preacher makes the Word of 0)d so plain that none can fail (o utderstand what he has to do in order to receive the blessing of God, and after his earthly pilgrimage is over, to live in tho kingdom not made by human hands, but by God. Monday night's services were as fol lows:;. . After a song and devotional exercises, the evangelist read a part of the second chapter of Titus. He announced as his subject, "Salva tion through His grace. 'V Salvation teaches us how to live. We are to live soberly for ours. 1 vet; righteously for our neighbors, and Godly for God. The same grace which saves is our standing as a believer. Grace save3. God comes in the person of His Son, and empties himsilf that through His riches we might be saved. God first came in the person of His Son, and then invited the sinner to come. God, through grace, delivers from past, present and future sin", from the power and dominion of sin. Man can't save himself, but it is all through grace. There is no other hope for the sinnef. As there was but one way for Lot and for Noah to be saved, so there is but one way for tile sinner, and that is through Christ. Paul calls it a great salrati jin. Tae Christian is ransomed by the blood of Christ. Our elder brother came from glory and ransomed, bought back our poor souls, which were lost and unable to save ourselves. Nothing else can save. We must, in order to bring others to ChriBt, know the Word of God; memor ize it, for it is to be our lamp and guide. Salvation is a free gift, not of works, lest any should boast. God the giver, Christ the gift, the sinner the recipient We have only to receive the gift just as we are. Salvation is for to-night, the present, not for to-morrow, and it Is to the uttermost. No matter how great a sinner, He is a mighty Saviour. We are not saved on account of the exceeding riches ot his grace. At the close of the sermon, an after meeting was held, and several stood up for prayers, and one made a profession of salvation through grace. Services every afternoon at 8:30 p. m. and at 7:30 p. m.
