The Air to the Fatal Regular Correspondence, March, 27th, 1801. The proposition to establish n public Air garden on top of res- at 42nd street and 5th Avenue, a bill for which is now before the Assembly, is with almost unanimous opposition. Only one newspaper in the city seems to be in favor of the scheme and that is the one which claims the credit of first it. The World baa earned a good deal of notoriety by schemes for public enterprises but this it has evidently bitten off more than it can chew. The popular impression of the plan is that tho reservoir is lo be floored over and used for a garden more than an air garden and therein is its weakness. Besides the press and public generally, the Mayor has op- posed it, the Comptroller Is against it so also is the Board of Health. Now the Academy of lies come forward protests in most vigorous manner, saying if the scheme is carried out Wt will surely be followed by widespread disease and ft would probably bring on an of typhoid fever and the disease broad- cast over These arc the strong words Mr. Pulitzer's paper will have hard work to counteract them.

This exemption in the rev. law was intended to protect income of the laborer from taxation in consideration that all of it might be necessary for the support of him- self and and it would be just to lax it. But in the revenue law passed by the recent General Assembly exempting clause as to incomes was struck out, and the general understanding of all classes of incomes may now be subject to taxation. directed attention to the omission the In- far last week, and sup- posed that tho General Assembly had unintentionally failed to the usual exempting clause in the new law, on examining journals of Senate and House we find that the facts do not support our supposition. It appears from the Senate journal the clause was struck out in open Senate on motion Senator King, of Guilford. and when the bill was sent over to the House, the journal for body shows that the amendment was con- curred in. the record docs not bear out our supposition, we ad- to the belief that it was not the intention of Assembly to sanction a law by it was to tax the Income of the when that income was disbursed for necessary sup- plies, To sty that such a law was just and fair would be contrary to all preconceived notions of what eon. justice and fairness, at the next election, the of the State be impeded to make but one positive disapproval and condemnation. , it may be courts will bold that there is a differ- in meaning of income from salaries and fees, and tho income at daily former only subject to taxation, and not the bitter.

THE EASTERN REFLECTOR, Greenville, N. C. MEED, At OFFICE AT Mail WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1891. Greenville's Needs. last Legislature Green- ville the by special act to issue bonds for general improve- It takes only a glance to see how badly town is in need of several things. On the first Mon- day in May there will be an for town officers. At the same a proposition for is- suing bonds for street improve- and water works ought to be submitted to our people. For the past three months the streets been in such a that no one who has had to be on them much ought to be on them much ought to for a moment to cast his vote and influence for better streets. Not many days ago we heard a man, who has had occasion to be on great deal, say that the town ought to be indicted for the condition in which the principal street leading to the wharf was Kept. This street is not an I id one, but all of them are in about the same fix. This state of things ought not to be so. The streets leading from the depot the wharf should be put in good order and kept so. They are be- very much by people outside of our own town, and as a matter of pride, if for nothing else, they should be kept in such a con- as to attract the attention of strangers favorably, not Besides a matter of pride, our streets should be in good order for the convenience of our own people. For days at a time it is often impossible to cross them anywhere without plunging through the mud and water. One reason, and we may say the reason, of so many colds late- is the muddy, wet condition of our streets. Not only should the streets be improved but they should be bet- lighted. The few street lamps we have at present are not We need electric lights, or some other better than what we have. We need enough light on our streets to enable people to walk them at night and see where they are walking. One small lamp at each street crossing is not sufficient. There is not a here sufficiently lighted. If our town is ever to take on any new life, if we wish to attract the favorable attention of visitors, if we wish others to come among us have sufficient pride in our own town to put it in an at- tractive condition, so that coming among us will be pleased with the appearance of things. Good streets, nice side walks on every street, each street well lighted, imperative needs of Greenville. We side walks along which water will not stand when a little rain comes. Our street crossings ought to so fixed that we can get from one side to the other without plunging through so much mud. One other great en- and water works. do not mean water works for the pose of supplying water for drink- and domestic uses, but water can be held in readiness for use in case of fire. Suppose a fire break out, what be our chances of successfully fight- it would be at the mercy of the flames. Our only resources would be buckets and what little water could be had from our few pumps, and what could these do towards successfully fighting a big fire We need a good fire engine and a supply of water held in read- for use, in case it should be needed. No sensible man who rightly views these things will deny the need of them. It is true that the fire alarm has been sounded twice in the last five months, yet no serious damage was done, but this is no warrant for the future. We need in case danger comes. Seeing and knowing then the necessity of improvements what good excuse can there be given for not having them Let a move- be put forward to secure them. It can be done by issuing bonds for an adequate amount of money to carry this work on. Our town is amply able to do so, and the wisdom of it can be seen by all after it n done, even if there are any so shortsighted as not to it beforehand. We want to see this matter submitted to the people, and we want to see the town take on new life, and keep pace with and even surpass her neighboring We have every natural that has been -j to OB it and if we do not who will help us Greenville is not in debt any, and no one will question our to carry a debt of or of such an amount as will enable us to make the needed improvements. The city of Wilmington last week voted against a proposition to is sue bonds for improvements but we should recollect that is already about in debt. In nearly all our towns which are making rapid progress the money is obtained by issuing town bonds for its security, and when- ever this has been done we see rapid progress made. And now, citizens of Greenville, not lag behind, but let all push for- ward and make our town what it ought to be. and ex-bogus Congressman Langston have met and made friends. i We feel sorry for the poor Langston. He has been duped into belief that ho will be one of the new Federal Judges. Mahone had an to grind to say the least. He sees that if he can con- the next delegation to the national convention, and secure the nomination of Alger for dent, he will be the dispenser of patronage in Virginia if Alger should be elected. The of Virginia ought to know enough of Mahone to let him alone. There is nothing in this to alarm the Democrats, but it is well for them to be on their guard. The decrease in the importation of woolen goods since the bill wont into effect has been very great. In near six million dollars worth were imported, while in January 1891 only three and a third million worth were imported. This not only cuts down the amount of goods, but also increases the price of those imported. The effect is that our people in order, to enrich the American manufacturers, have to wear rough, shoddy goods, and pay as much for them as they used to pay for better goods. On his recent bridal John Jacob Astor paid thirty-nine per day for his rooms at St. Augustine, Florida. He bled very much about it, and did not stay there very long. He went on to Mexico where living is cheaper. He is a millionaire, but he to with as little as possible. It was reported once that ho gave the waiter at Weldon a plugged ten cent piece, but this has been denied on the ground that he was too sharp to let any palm off a, plugged coin on him.

The Texas Legislature passed a bill to accept the two cent bounty on sugar there which amount is allowed by the Bill. Governor Hogg vetoed the bill, and his action seems to have met with general Ho wants his State to ac- no bounty. Although he is a three hundred pound Hogg, he does not seem to be very hoggish in this matter. The theory of some scared who believe that the are increasing faster than the whites is not supported by tics. It will be seen from the report published elsewhere in this issue that their increase is but a little over per cent, while the increase of the whites has been over per cent. Their per- of increase is falling off while the whites are increasing. It is very gratifying to see how the better class of papers of the North speak of General Joseph E. Johnson. The Philadelphia Re- cord says he was a true nobleman, and that no country can have too many of such men. His death leaves General as the only one of the six full Generals of the Confederate army living. Senator Hoar in the April of the Forum writes on Fate of the Force Bill. He ex- presses the hope that the country will go Republican in 1892 and cure its passage. This is his pet hobby, and perhaps he would be willing to die if he could secure its passage.

A very cowardly assassination was committed at ten miles be- low last Friday night. Mr. Will Moore, a man living in that village, left the of Mr. J. R. as the clerks were closing up, about o'clock, and to the home where he and his brother, Mr. John Moore, lived. Young Moore had just passed the residence of Dr. W. H. Bagwell when some in ambush fired upon him with a shotgun. struck with twelve buck shot in his arm, thigh right side. His cries brought assistance to him and he is as found lying in road bleeding profusely. He was carried home and Dr. Bagwell made an of the wounds which were pro- very serious. At the last report reaching Greenville Mr. Moore was still living but in a very critical condition, his physician having no hope of his recovery. He was only about years old. was greatly shocked over the occurrence. It was a most act and is surrounded in mys- tery. An examination of the in which the assassin had secreted himself showed that he had been very painstaking in his plans for the brutal work. A fence corner com- full view of the road had been selected and grape vines had been trimmed to make the spot ac- and render escape easy. The place looked as though the as- had become tired of standing in waiting for his victim and Had rested his knees. The knee prints were very plain and the care had been taken to rake together some leaves that his pants might be protected from dirt, and a slat had been knocked from the fence with the of the gun so that in this easy position the view of the road still be open. Spittle against the fence indicated that he also indulged in a chew of tobacco while waiting to perpetrate such a cold blooded deed. Who Mr. Moore's assassin was is not known, and no cause can be at- for his being shot down so brutally. If he had enemies it is not known. There was a slight rumor that the shot might have been in- tended for some one else, but this seems Impossible, as it was so light that a person could have been easily distinguished more than twice the distance, and a murderer who was so minute in all the preparations for his crime would hardly have shot whom he did not Intend to, and that in a light under which his victim was easily recognizable. It was a bold, villainous act, and words fail to picture the perpetrator as his black, murderous heart de- serves. hope some clue can be found that will lead to the discovery of the guilty party, and that his neck may speedily broken to pay the penalty his crime.

Good Friday was a misnomer this time if we are allowed to take the weather as an index. It was one of the worst days we have had this year. A drummer in town last week, who happened to see a copy of the Re- said it was the neatest print and contained the best matter of any paper he had seen this side of Norfolk Does any one doubt that the trade of Greenville would improve if the town had tobacco warehouses and was made a tobacco market It so they have never noted the experience of other towns in this particular.

The mule lie wanted was led up to the window and the bridle reins passed in through the bars. The prisoner tried to pull the mule up near enough the window to permit an examination of the teeth, but his did not relish such pro and showed his mulish pro- for pulling the other way. The owner had to go behind and coax the animal in reach through the bars, and the trade progressed satisfactorily. Set to Work So Court or anything else now in the way to divert attention and our citizens should all get to work for Greenville. During the summer is a wood time to get various enterprises started in advance of the tall season. One thing is towns around us are going to make a mighty hustle for next fall's trade, and it will not lie healthy for Greenville if much of the lethargy is not shaken off. The man for himself sentiment never yet built up a town. The to day publishes a beautiful poem written by Mrs. S. A. Cherry on reminiscences of fifty years ago. Several friends bad asked her for copies this poem which she had printed for them and at our solicitation she consented to its publication. Our years do not date back as far as some of whom she writes in those dear old days, yet well do remember just such scenes in early childhood as those pictured by her. No Convicts Sent Up The spoke too quick after the first week of January term of Pit Superior Court in saying a single convict was sent to the pen for our readers remember that during the latter days of the term matters took a change and two prisoners were sent up. The March term, however, did not send a prison to the penitentiary and only sent three to the county Jail, the longest sentence being for days. It is not in our recollection when Pitt made so good a Court record. And my reduced prices on Standard Fertilizers is what causes it. It goes without saying that last year I handled the very best brands of Fertilizers for COTTON AND TOBACCO that were sold in Pitt county.

The bats forming the tripod were made by Mr. R. L.

For a few days the memento will be on exhibition at the office. 84.00 per ton less than it cost you last year. The have had over thirty year s experience in the of this Guano and say that no brand of equal merit can be made for less money. It has been used In North Carolina for twenty-live and those farmers who have had long experience In its mo can be prevailed on to use no other. It bears thousands of lest testimonials. Its sis shows it to be exactly proportioned with the old fashioned Peruvian This Guano made a better showing under cotton last than any other brands Mid In the county. To know what this Guano will do you only to ask Messrs B. F. Patrick. A. C, Nobles. J. I-. W. J, or any who has used it. This brand has been used in Pitt county for years and never falls to give faction. It is a fine Tobacco Fertilizer, and Is sold cheap enough to be used under cotton. So much of this Guano has been sold here that every farmer knows what It Will do. I can say nothing to add to its popularity except that It Is the same old co brand. This Is a cheap Guano, and has given such satisfaction in surrounding comities that I have decided to handle it this year. I also have Phosphates and Lime.

The sometime ago ex- pressed its opinion the removal of the Poor House, or County Home, from its present location to some point adjacent and convenient to Greenville. The report of the Grand Jury on this matter which we publish to-day, shows the opinion of that body to be in exact accord with that expressed by the and we believe if the sentiment of the entire county could be had at least tax payers would favor such removal. In the face of this this County Commissioners should not hesitate any longer about taking steps to the removal, but pro at once to carry out the wishes of the people and put an end to the evils that exist around the County Home as at present situated.

And the good, kind people with whom had made her home had aided him to the best of their ability, meeting his wishes half way, and grudging no trouble to which they might be put in further- them. Royal found, to his able comfort, that they were to be ac- companied as far as Alexandria by a relative of the young lady who had been down in the mountains of Virginia on a visit and had remained over for the wedding. She was introduced to Royal as his Mrs. and his went out to her at once. There was a largeness in her atmosphere, a sympathy in her fine, intelligent face and frank, cordial manner, to which his nature in- responded, and he felt that her going them would be like a crack of daylight along a dark horizon. Per- haps the tide would turn at last and run for a while in poor John Royal's favor. For himself the arrangement would, at all events, bring divided responsibility. That Mrs. Hart was a widow he from her mourning gown and a certain unattached air about her. His prepossession seemed fully justified by the treatment accorded her on every hand; for young and old clustered around her and persistently ignored the dignity of her conjugal She seemed to be to everybody. It will be a comfort being with Nina until yon can get a suitable maid for Mrs. Brandon remarked in a motherly way. dear child needs a good deal of attention, you know, and some help in dressing. She would never consent to have her pretty hair cut, be- cause she heard you say once that short haired women were your abomination. Yon wrote about her mammy, but that wouldn't do at all.

And she is so good and patient, so anxious for a cure for your sake as well as for her own. She would not wear anything over her eyes in church this morning. I couldn't blame her, although I scolded her for her vanity, and made her promise to keep the lids closed, and doubled the lace so that one could scarcely her features. A girl naturally wants to look well on her wedding day particularly when her lover sees her for the first time In six years. We wrapped her up well, both going and re- turning, so I don't think she can have taken The squire, an energetic and impatient old gentleman, the parting in a manner which Royal felt he conic never sufficiently applaud. He had fresh horses put to the carriage as it stood before the door, and bustled about and hurried the women with their preparations, laugh- and joking with the utmost joviality. This was not farewell at all. he cheerily declared, only that French tiling the pronunciation of which he could never remember, and which meant just worth mentioning. The schedule did not admit of extra kissing on the down grade, and the party would be left unless a limit was put to embraces. As for recommendation to take care of Phyllis and himself, he would scorn to name the thing to a man who could defeat death and the doctors, and come hundreds of miles to be mar- two months after he had been re- ported broken all to pieces. So the journey commenced amid mer- and kindliness, and overwrought as he was, even Royal lost sight for a moment or two of the grim fact that through him darkness and death had joined hands. When he had his charges safe in the car and felt the train in motion he drew a long breath; ho was another step nearer the end, at all events. The strain on him was beginning to tell. Phyllis was in the gayest spirits, and laughed and chatted merrily. Her face closely coveted, the heavy veil doubled across her eyes, for which knew there must be reason, but to inquire into it just vet. He had gathered that the young lady's case was far from hopeless, and the knowledge that it was so brought more relief rod thankfulness than his position toward her would seem to warrant He could realize the intense importance which mediate possession of the money must have had for John so great that he had been willing to risk his life to secure it It might mean sight to the eyes as well as food and for the body of the woman he loved. It made the conditions of the will more difficult of comprehension than ever, bat he to trouble his mind with that question. Other matters were more pressing than could be the solution of an apparently impracticable woman's vagaries. They Would make better time on the down trip, the conductor informed him; the grade would help instead of hinder- them- Royal, cognizant of the inevitable pain to which each revolution of the wheels them more near, set himself to prepare the minds of the women, in measure, a best he could. The girl's cheerfulness emote on him with a sense of discord, as though one should en- counter mirth at a deathbed. And yet I to sadden her seemed to just then the hardest task he had been com- j to put hi hand, to. His pity him both could the calamity fall on her a a-d to turn her the coming disaster, to his overwrought nerves appeared like drawing a child into the already wavering shadow of a which would presently fall and crush it It took all the courage of which he was roaster to follow the lines laid down for himself. He was as adroit as it is in the nature of a straightforward man to be, and there had been nothing to a. ones the suspicion of his companions or make them doubt his sincerity. To them he was the master of the situation, the grand male creature who had just proved possession of manhood and to an unprecedented degree. They to him graciously, and treated him with the suggestion of trust and dependence which is spontaneous with all womanly women. After a little the talk, insensibly guided by Royal, drifted to serious things, and he told them, as of a strange and pitiful happening, of his meeting on the train the day before with a poor young fellow, ill unto death and in trouble. He told how he had noticed him fainting in his seat, and, being a physician, had gone to him to do what he could, and then had discovered that the sick stranger had a claim on bis care, being a brother Mason. He spoke of the interest which this dis- had aroused, and of how it had deepened in view of tho courage and patience, and of how he had been obliged to leave him at last in the strange hotel, without friend or kinsman near, fighting his battle with the grim destroyer alone. He made a little story of it, and gave it to them as simply as he could, hoping to their interest and sympathy. And they asked in hushed voices, and were sorry in a sweet impersonal way, as women will be over tales of sorrow. you find out his Mrs. Hart inquired. Royal replied in tho affirmative. That was the reason he had troubled them with the story, he explained, thinking they might help him, perhaps, since they must spend the night in the very hotel where the sick man lay. The name was the same as He might be a kinsman. Who should say repeated Mrs. Hart, her in- all aflame. of course ho is a kinsman; he lie. All the Royals are related, and Virginia is full of How very strange, your meeting him that way I wonder to branch of the family he can possibly Phyllis also manifested interest and concern about this as she dubbed him. But her mind appeased to dwell most on R. own share in the business, and she whispered sweet words of commendation in a low voice which thrilled through Royal, who had not sought to produce this effect, and made him more bitterly conscious than ever what a tangle the matter had become. Meanwhile Mrs. Hart appeared to be mustering all the Royals, dead and alive, who had inhabited the commonwealth in the past or were inhabiting it in the present, in her efforts to satisfactorily place this new Royal. don't know his Christian name, I she observed, and then saved him from a dilemma by answering her- self, of course yon wouldn't think to inquire at a time like that, and in such a hurry as you must have been, too. Still, I wish I knew it. A Christian name nearly always locates the branch. It's apt to give an After a moment of reflection, during which she fastened this scion to every Virginia root of the Royal tree and plucked it away again, she continued was a Royal who went west when I was a child. His name was Philip, which is a family name in both genders. Ho married Pauline Hart, a first cousin of my husband's, and a sis- of that very John Hart to whom Anne Royal was engaged. I wonder if this young man could be Phil Royal's son You must find out, John, because if he should be he is doubly related to you two, and also a close connection of own. How strange and romantic it would be Just think of it, Phyllis The nephew of your aunt's old lover, and for John to have more, to have on his way to be married to you on the fiftieth of that which was to have been Anne's own wedding day to John Hart I never in my life heard anything like had RoyaL He had wondered why such stress had been put on the 28th of December. He understood it now for a woman's sentiment about the day which was to have crowned her own love story with fruition. As much as this sentiment had already caused him, and was likely to cause him in the future, he had no impulse to mock at it He was too real a man to be devoid of reverence for romance. When they plied him still with ho said that ho did not believe that the sick man came from the west; he was convinced that he must be a native born Virginian, A whimsical thought would obtrude itself relative to the greatness of their bewilderment when they should be confronted with the for transposing his identity with that of the other John Royal, He him- self the sou of Philip Royal and Pauline Hart. When they reached their destination Royal hurried them to the hotel, secured rooms and established them Then he left them to see after his patient, he said, and to attend to other matters. Mrs. Hart followed him into the corridor to say that if there should be any service for the sick man which she could perform, he most not fail to let her know, and both ladies bade him send them news of the poor fellow's con- Royal walked down the corridor with a step quickened by anxiety. He had hurried the ladies in, not daring to make inquiries in the office nor to interrogate the servant. The hotel people were aware that he had gone for the sick man's friends. He had informed the proprietor of his intention, explain- the impossibility of immediate com- with them by telegraph. The ladies under his charge would be received as appertaining to John RoyaL At the door of the sick room he paused to compose his countenance, and to shake off, if possible, the weariness which op- pressed him. Then he opened it and en- The shutters had been closed and there was no fire in the grate. The out- side air entered freely, but it could not dispel the strange odors in the room; about the place there was a look or neat- twas that was unmistakable; chair van in place, add the white covering of bed hang straight and that neath. Royal crossed the room and folded back the sheet from the dead man's face. It was very peaceful, with all the lines of care and pain smoothed out, and that strange reflection of a light that never was on land or sea touching and bright- the still features into a look of youth, a look of hope. Royal replaced the covering with a pain at his heart which his brief acquaintance with the dead man would hardly justify. It was as though a part of his own life had been suddenly swept into the infinite. That silent form would be a barrier for- ever separating his from his past He touched the bell. It was answered almost immediately by a colored man, one of the hotel wait- whom he in the urgency of the case had installed as nurse that very morning. How long ago it seemed look- backward through the full hours the hours so few in number, so with events, so pregnant with change which would affect his whole life It almost seemed as though an ordinary lifetime must have intervened since he had given his hurried directions to the man now standing before him.
