NEW YORK LETTER.
An America
Regular of
May 11th, 1801.
The sensation of the week has
been the butchery in
and the arrest of a
looking wretch whom
the police are confident is the
murderer. The crime bore so
much to the work of
the of London,
that it caused intense excitement
throughout the city, while the
police were driven to the utmost
to find the perpetrator. The
whole force of detectives were put
at worst on the case, and nearly
arrests were made within a
week. The most important of
these was that of a man called
who on the night of the
murder occupied a room on the
floor where the murder was com-
and against whom the de-
have many strong
of guilt. At this there
are a few points to cleared up
before the police will rest
that they have the right man.
In the meantime more arrests are
being made every day. The
police in the are on
the warpath and it will be nothing
short of a miracle if our young
American escapes.

The improvements that are now
being made by the Pennsylvania i
Railroad in this city and in Jersey
City are on the most extensive
scale. The new terminal station,
which is being built in Jersey j
City, will be the largest in
United States. Its roof is arched
with a single span of feet. An
elevated roadbed has been built
through Jersey City, and there-
after all trains will r j on this
structure, so as to i an end to
grade crossings which are so
dangerous to life. In this city an
elevated bridge has been con-
across West Street at the
entrance to the street
ferry to avoid the annoyance of
trucks There will be double-
necked ferry boats running, sq
that passengers can pass from the
bridge directly to the upper decks
of the ferry boats. When once
across there will be no necessity
of descending, for the trains will
be elevated also. These plans
have many obvious advantages
and will no doubt meet the
of all together
with thousands who are not
but who might some day get
run over at the grade crossings.

The report of the grand jury at
New Orleans who investigated the
Mafia murder seems to have given
general satisfaction to the better
class of citizens of New Orleans.
They say the people were
able in the lynching. This report
is just what might have been ex-
It somewhat raised the
ire of the Italian minister, who
says he will report the whole mat-
to tho Italian government, and
that trouble arise from it.
Italy demanded that the lynchers
should punished. But this
demand is not to be heeded as the
grand jury presented no indict-
The Railroad Commissioners are
getting in their work. They have
reduced passenger fare. This
has heretofore ranging
from to cents per mile. On
and after June it will cents
per mile for first class and cents
per mile for second class, making
an average of cents. Freight
rates are also reduced in some
cases, but they were found to be
so low that they not much
reduced. Last week they took
into consideration the telegraphic
rates. cents per mes-
sage of ten words will now be the
price between all points in North
Carolina, and each
word extra.
It is not intended to work hard-
ship on any railroad, and is to be
hoped that their work will sat-
to both railroads and
people. Till Kay is the

against these measures. There
are many things the commission-
have not yet done, but their
work is progressing as fast as
could be expected.

late been praising Mr. Harrison's
administration. But the secret of

President's son, is having some-
thing to do with the of

for a second term and is doing all
he can to create a favorable

HOW HE STANDS.
The question now is
Mayor James opposed to progress
and reform
At the meting of the old Board
of Councilmen, in April, for the
purpose of making the tax
for 1891, one of the Councilmen
offered a motion that the property
tax be increased from cents to
cents on each valuation, tho
additional cents to be applied
to shelling the fixing
them in some practical
making other needed improve-
When a vote was called on
he question it resulted in a tie,
three of the Board voting for it and
it. Tho matter then
went to the Mayor for decision
and ho cast his against any
increase of taxes.
At the first meeting of the new
Board of Councilmen, Friday
night, one of Board offered the
motion that for the present only
one policeman be elected. This,
of course, was an experiment, and
if at any time it was seen that
was not sufficient
another could be easily elected.
vote was taken resulting in a
white property holders
to it, one white man and
two voting against it
going to the Mayor
he decided it by casting his rote
against the motion.
From the above we infer that
the question is to be answered
affirmatively.
A thunder bolt from an appear-
clear sky killed Redmond
a farmer, of
Kan., the other day. His brother
was a witness of the affair.

In answering the above
propounded by White
the will be as
brief in each case as possible, to
be clearly understood at the same
time, and will answer them by
number in the order in which
they are asked.
Yes.
The Mayor is the only officer
of much importance who was so
elected. The Tax Collector,
Night Police and Lamp Lighter
received the votes of a majority of
the Democratic Councilmen, but
neither of those positions were
considered of enough importance
for any contest over it, only one
man being voted for in each in-
stance.
The Democratic Mayor did
so vote. And in another instance
when a similar tie vote occurred
he cast the deciding vote for the
side of the question supported by
the colored man.
After three unsuccessful
ballots had taken to fill one
of the offices, and while the fourth
ballot was pending, one of the
Democratic Councilmen called the
two colored Councilmen aside and
hold a private consultation with
them. Of course what passed be-
tween them is not known, but upon
their return to the council the
Democrat cast his vote for the
whom the colored men
were supporting. We are not
pared to say what effect this had
upon the future voting of the col-
men, but they both
later for Democratic Council-
man who was a candidate for one
of the offices. Outsiders looked
upon it as a trade.
We do not concur in this
question and would not like to see
the town given over entirely to the
colored people. But if every
ward had been represented by
colored men in the meeting Fri-
day night we doubt if they had
carried their points any more
effectively than the two did on this
occasion.
Yes.
Any physician will tell you
that it is.
This is a legal question we
cannot decide, but in our opinion
such action could be taken.
We have heard of the injury
to the mule and of the owner say-
he would not had it done for
Whether he has made any
threats as to suing the town we
cannot say positively.

The Presbyterian services that
two weeks have been in

days and preached twice each day
delivered a number of excellent
mons. He presents the gospel so
that it is a delight to hear
him influence of his words
will work good in the community.
Quite a number of people
each night to the after meeting.
Sunday night there were seven
and four Monday night.
Just the close of the
vice Monday night a Presbyterian
Church was organized, this service
being conducted by Rev. J. N. H.
Summered, of Tarboro. The organ-
began with seven persons
of whom was at this
vice. Mr. D. B. was elected
Ruling for the Church and Mr.
J. R. Moore was chosen Deacon.
The words of admonition to the little
flock were very impressive. May
they grow in grace and numbers and
become a power for great good.
Dr. Morton announced that at the
close of the services night he
would request all persons who had
made a profession to come forward
and give in their n inns for member
ship with whichever church of the
town they wished to unite. The Re-
is printed too early to
any results of nights meeting.
Dr. Morton leaves on the train
this morning to an appointment
already made for him elsewhere.
Our people wish that he could have

her finding vent in music as naturally as
does that woodland children,
for the girl v. as almost as much a prod-
of field and forest as are mocking
birds and thrushes.

busy with the strings when she suddenly

Then husband's voice from the
hall called up to her to hasten, and she
caught up handkerchief and gloves. At
the door, however, she be-
thought herself and turned back to a
desk on a small table near the bed,
wherein were John Royal's letters, his
photographs, and her most treasured
souvenirs of her aunt This she opened

The pleasant country road led away
from the city six or seven miles to the
ancient home of the Lees. The air was
balmy, bracing with autumnal vigor
and a suggestion of the frost to come;
the road was fairly good, for a Virginia
road, and the pair chatted as they
bowled along. Phyllis enjoyed it all
with the rest of a child, and seemed never
weary of the delight of the eyes. The
tangles of on the roadside, the
mosses and ferns around the springs they
passed, the festoons of wild grape vine
pendent from the trees and rich with the
shadings of dark fruit and yellow foliage,
the marvelous blending of crimson, gold,
green and tawny bronze showed by the
leaves, even the waving broom sedge and
stiff little firs, like Dutch toys, dotting
the worn out fields, all appeared to her
beautiful.
Presently they ascended a long, steep
bill and drove along its crest a hundred
yards, and Royal turned the buggy and
called on his wife to the world
and the wonder thereof. And Phyllis,
after a rapturous cry, uttered low down
in her throat, like the note of a wood
pigeon, folded her hands together and
was speechless, spellbound at the
of the scene before her.

ties of architecture, its monuments,

Away in the distance the stream
seemed fettered by the links of an iron
bridge, over which, as they a
train passed slowly, overshadowed by a
canopy of bluish gray smoke. To the
left, bathed in sleepy
old Alexandria, steeped to the eaves in
the joy of calm, showed
against the background of the Virginia
hills, and over the heights of George-
town the shadow of a cloud passed
dreamily.
Then they drove on, talking of tilings
that had been in the nation's history;
as they neared the gateway of Ar-
silence fell again. It was dis-
in a moment, and all sentiment
and solemnity dispelled by a party of
little who swarmed out from the
archway, like flies, tumbling, grinning,
and dancing around the buggy with
shouts of penny

Inside the gates there was no lack of
solemnity, Royal pulled his horse
up to a walk and slowly followed tho
road winding under magnificent trees,
through stretches of velvety verdure,
past plots of exquisite blooming plants,
and tall vases filled with flow-
. vines and ferns, untouched by
frost. Now they caught glimpses of
shady dingles and clear streams rippling
purely, and again of level meadows,
of old homesteads, lowing kine,
everything, ex-
a graveyard.
Gradually the road and a
thrill passed through sensitive
nerves as her eyes rested for the first
time on the home of the south's great
chieftain. She wished to go there at
once, but Royal turned to tho

too happy to cherish resentment against
