The penalty against each railroad tor failing to make report is In case such failure can be proven, and therefore the penalties against the roads will aggregate and this is the boons for which Dr. Hodge brought the The case was called in the court and was ruled out by Judge on the ground that Hodge could not bring the suit.

We urge upon every man in the county who professes to be a Democrat, not to scratch a single name next Tuesday, but vote the straight Democratic ticket. There is too much at stake to run the risk of such men as and Kirkman in Legislative halls. With these men in t he State Senate and House of and Claude Bernard in Congress, and a Radical in Zeb Vance's seat in the U. S. Senate, matters would be in a deplorable state. White men should arouse to their full duty and not desert their race by lending their sup port to such advocates of Senator Matt W. Ransom, Gen. W. P. Roberts, and Hon. W. A. B. Blanch, Democratic candidate for Congress, all made speeches in Greenville yesterday. It was too late for us to make any comment upon them, but all the speakers the tariff and force bill due attention and showed up the evils in them. All the speeches were good and listened to by a large concourse of people. Here is a brief tariff example that shows how the iniquitous bill put in force by a Republican Congress against the poor and in favor of the rich man. Take woolen goods, for The tax on the cheapest grade of goods is per cent., on goods it is per cent., on per cent, while on it is only per cent. Thus the cheap grade that the poor man has to buy is taxed per cent, and the best grade which the rich man buys is taxed only per cent., a little over half as much. One hundred years ago there was a tariff tax of but per cent all around on these goods making it equal on both the rich and poor. Then take hosiery cheap grades costing cents per dozen are taxed per cent., those costing per dozen are taxed per cent., and those costing per dozen are taxed per cent., or just a little more than half, as in the other example; the poor man paying the high tax and the rich man the low tax. All other goods will be found very much in the same proportions. Now look at the difference in price paid by the home buyer and the foreign buyer for Take shovels for example The home buyer pays 19.20 per dozen for them while the foreign buyer can get them at Thus the manufacturer ships his goods off from home to foreign countries and sells them much cheaper than he will sell them to the home purchases- There is about the proportionate difference on other goods. And this is protection It should rather be robbery, for it is robbing the farmer and laboring man of their hard earned dollars that the manufacturers of the North may become rich. The Republican party is responsible for this state of affairs. Reader, how will you vote next Tuesday, for the party that is piling these unjust burdens upon you, or for the party that is seeking to re- you should be no hesitancy about deciding such a question.

On the 14th of March, 1889, she was married to Dr. Zeno Brown. Their devotion to each their mutual tender regard and intense affection seemed to perfect. On a bright lovely Sabbath morning, among a great throng of sorrowing men and women and children, we laid her away in our cemetery to await the resurrection morn. Peace to her ashes, and God's blessings upon the stricken ones. J. Resolutions Respect by the King's Daughters.

B Congleton, Sec'y The National Democrat which was established in Washington one year ago by Edmund Hudson, with the endorsement of many of the great leaders of the party, has entered upon its second year with a circulation of copies each week. This is perhaps the largest circulation eyer attained by a weekly newspaper during first of its existence. Democrat occupies a field of its own, and that too long remained unfilled. It gives a complete re- cord of political information, including the most important speeches that are delivered by Democratic leaders in and on the stump. It is the party an important service, and should be read by all who wish to keep fully informed in regard to public affairs and who mean to defeat the wicked scheme of the Republican leaders to cure permanent control of the Government, in spite of the fact that they are, and must remain the minority party in this try.

He is not unlike nearly all other Republicans he understands how to distort things. He brought up tariff system and endeavored to show its beauties and that it was the best means to collect lands to ran the Government bat point could not be seen. His opinion of bis audience was very poor, as he said that be did not believe there were six men in crowd that could give a correct definition of the word tariff.

The tire started Stewart Butt's spindle mill, just beyond the e limits on the north, and destroyed that large establishment. The sparks fell in many of the warehouses within a radius of half a mile to south, and fires broke out simultaneously, the first noticed being among the cotton on the Mobile and Railroad wharf. This was at once tumbled oft into the slip, and, though scorched was saved. Almost at the same time the Goodman and were seen to be on fire. All northern part of the town is taken up with property devoted to the handling and of cotton, the whole blocks being occupied by brick buildings, with dead walls on all sides except, two, which are pierced with a single gate. All are covered with slate, but have court- yards in the the sheds being open to the rt. Fire once introduced spreads with marvelous rapidity from bale to bale. There was a rain of sparks from the shingle mill fire, and this accounts for the breaking of the fire in several warehouses at once. The dense smoke was blowing steadily down streets and in the faces of the firemen, to fight fire in front. Very little be done, therefore, to stop the progress of the flames, and it was not until an open space of a quarter of a block was met at the foot St street any success was met with. There the southward progress of the fire was stopped after sweeping away five blocks along the river front, except one Mobile and Birmingham Pas- Depot. The warehouses on the west side of Com- street were burned from Beauregard to State street, four blocks, except the warehouse. The warehouses on Water street, both sides between Lipscomb and Adams, and partly both sides between Adams and were burned; also, the warehouse on the northeast corner of Mag- Congress. All the wharf property which was owned by private parties along the river front, from Lipscomb to State street, was burned, and a small portion of one of the wharves belonging to the city at the foot of St- Louis street Lying in the slips were four steamboats. Three of Ruth, the Mary Elizabeth and the burned. Two were out of commission, and of little value. The Ruth was worth Several coal and wood yards on the wharves were destroyed, and sundry freight There was passenger train in Commerce street when the fire broke out, and a train freight, all belonging to the Mobile and Railway Company. All were saved except five empty freight cars. Eleven cars of corn belonging to Mobile Ohio Railroad Company were on an adjacent track and were burned. The losses foot up larger than at first reported, amounting now to IN OF THE INDIANS. The Governor of Colorado Telegraph I the Situation to the President.

After, lunch we passed through a beautiful bottom land, teeming with flowers, red and yellow monthly musk, fringing the banks of the stream where it spread out over the meadow in a dozen different channels. Charlie wanted to stop and take up Campbell told him much plenty snow in win- and after vainly trying to drink the whales between these three-named Besides these several were taken by the whites here and at Point Hope, and others were captured by the natives of the numerous villages scattered along the coast. About the middle of the month of April, though much depends on the con- j of the winds and currents, a lead usually opens on the ice from five to ten miles out from shore, and allows the whales to come along. Soon as the lead opens whales can be seen, sometimes pushing their way through quite heavy drift ice on their migratory journey northward. In general they move along quite rapidly, seldom showing them- selves more than one rising. By the time the lead opens the natives are supposed to have everything ready for a start after whales. Canoes over- hauled, fresh skins of walrus, or seal, have been prepared and put on the canoes where needed, seal pokes have been made, guns, lances, bombs, lines and harpoons looked prepared and ready for the great work of the season. The ordinary outfit for a canoe is one darting gun, carrying harpoon and bomb; one shoulder gun, for bomb, car- and other ammunition; three or four rifles and fowling piece; a furnace, with few splints of wood to start the fire; food, blubber, clothing, etc., etc.; snow sled, and a crew of eight or ten, men Mid women, boys and girls. Thus fully equipped, the starts out to remain on the floe five or six weeks, or during the entire whaling season. They take out but little food, depending on seals, ducks, bear or walrus, when they cannot get whale. Their food is eaten raw. and of any quality or condition it may be in. j They sleep without shelter on the ice or in the or whenever sleep overtakes them. The furnace is more for melting snow for drink than for cooking; tho they have no j to cooked food, yet they eat it raw from sheer laziness. With a few splints of wood a fire can be started, and when I j fed with blubber it is surprising how- rapid snow enough can be melted to satisfy the thirst of forty or fifty people. in the winter months, shooting whatever may come along, but always keeping a sharp lookout for the Skirting over some big rocks, we suddenly came into a lovely grass country.

He gave us cheerful accounts of the elk, and also kindly took a letter into town for us. At 5.30 we camped under Sentinel rock, about a mile from the divide.

We shot a couple of small that night and afterward shot several more, larger ones. Campbell called them whistling dogs, and declared they were good to eat; but the smell was enough for us. Their odor is peculiar, but not fragrant. They have two long teeth in front like a beaver, and feet almost shaped like squirrel's feet. I believe their right name is mountain beaver. went afterwards in the mountains, as long as there was grass, we saw these whistling dogs, as we got to call them. I liked to see them; they seemed to make the place cheerful and lively, and were very amusing to watch. In winter they have burrows under the snow, and their coats get a dark gray; in summer they are yellow. Their skins should make good fur, Once out on the ice they wander about, I valuable the larger and more whale. The canoes are at all times kept in readiness, either on the ice or in the water, to shove off at a moment's notice. Should a whale come along near the floe he is approached from the ice, and, if within striking distance, struck and bombed both at the same time, perhaps instantly killed, as frequently happens, without using the canoe. Attached to the line, three or four fathoms from the harpoon, are two seal pokes, and at the end another. The two first pokes seem to worry and perplex the whale, if he is not at once killed, so the canoe can come up and on the end of Our altitude this night was feet, and we christened the place from the stony ground had to sleep on.

The first report of whales seen here this season was on the of last month, in an open lead, two miles wide and ten miles off shore. At once everybody was excited and on the move; a track commenced to an artificial limb every five years from the government.

An Electrified Tree. out over the rough ice, which was filled up ridges, parallel with the shore, thirty or feet high, for and miles seaward. To get their canoes out with their outfit over the ice, so filled . with ridges, appeared a terribly able undertaking, but many hands made light work, and all went at with a will Every pick, and t-hovel that could be found was brought into use and kept in constant motion until the open water was reached by the first canoe on the 27th, and this w. s only accomplished by the most persevering energy and try in constant hard labor. After the first canoe cut her way out the rest followed with comparatively lighter work; so, one after another, nineteen in all with their crews, numbering persons, were out on the floe ice. and now appeared another There was a strange sight at the of Washington Hunter streets the other night. A large water oak tree, growing on the Capitol grounds, was the center of the sensation, which attracted the of citizens in the and pas- About two feet from the base of the tree, the exterior of which was blackened and the leaves and branches drooping and wilted, a sunken-in place shaped like a needle's eye, the center of the eye extending almost to the heart of the tree, was an opening. From this aperture a volume of hot steam belched forth, and the sound of boiling sap could be heard distinctly. In places the hot sap oozed through the bark in long seams. It was a strange sight, and for a good while its cause was unaccountable. To the touch the tree was unbearably hot. The only cause that could be assigned to overcome. A wall of for the freak was a stray wire, which was rough ice. very much resembling of all sizes and forms, from tons in weight to bullets, round, square and oval, as if worn away in battling for ages with winds and waves, piled up twenty feet or more, extended for miles all along the edge of the floe. To launch a canoe over this wall into the open lead, filled with floating ice would be but a trifling job, but to get back again or to land on the floe ice was the great difficulty. Along the floe the currents were running about four knots an hour. No boat with- out steam could make headway in the drift ice. One canoe, however, made the attempt, but was swept helplessly away. The crew found, when too late, amid the whirling ice that their efforts to stem the current was powerless, but after a severe fight for life they managed to land on the Here was a new difficulty to surmount.

The discovery of certain relics of the and the identification of certain weapons found on the coast of Greenland with those found by the Eskimo in the vicinity of Straits at Port Clarence, Norton Sound and the mouth of the Yukon River, lead to the supposition that there is a route, short and direct, across the Arctic Ocean by way of the North Pole.

This is a basis of wealth for Southern interests that promises greater pros- than the farmers of any other sec- of the country can ever hope to enjoy.

A certain celebrated woman doctor, who knows all the fat women in London and New York, and is considered one of the best authorities on obesity in the country, is just home from England. It is rumored that she went abroad on a special commission Blavatsky, but no sooner was she summoned than the esoteric priestess received a message from the occult world forbidding her to tamper with her pounds of loveliness. When asked about the matter the doc- tor refused to talk. Here is a dietary prescription for obesity which has the merits of curative as well as lamb chops or fish, broiled, boiled or baked, and served without any butter, gravy, or sauce; sliced tomatoes, lettuce or celery in season and coffee with saccharine, which is a tar and sugar product, and has none of the ill effects of pure sugar on obesity. meat and a salad. soup, shell fish, or a plainly cooked fish; a choice of roast meats or game, minus gravies, sauces and condiments, and any non-starch table, such as lettuce, spinach, asparagus, tomatoes, and for dessert a small quantity of raw fruit or stewed fruit. This diet is for the reduction of adipose tissue, but if tho patient is subject to gout, rheumatism, kidney troubles, and wants to cure them she must resort to a strict diet of beef and hot water. The meat must be minced and can be broiled or baked. The hot water is to be taken in pint one and a half, hours before the meat.

History of Pen Making. A Roman metal pen is said have been found at a mere stylus, but a pen, slit, and there is evidence of a pen or reed of bronze nearly as late as the invention of printing, in the fifteenth century. A hundred years ago, some steel pens were made in Birmingham, England, Mr. Harrison for Dr. Priestly, and some of these passed into the hands of Sit Joseph Mason, in his early days with Mr. Harrison, but all of them have been lost. The first pen of metal, of a date beyond all question, is one in a Dutch patent book of 1717. At the same time a polite ode by Pope refers to a and gold but these were evidently luxuries only. It was about 1823 or 1824 that great revolution in making pens by s cheaper hand screw press, which pierced the pens from sheet steel began. Previously pens had been made from steel or gold rolled into tubes and with a joint forming the slit. These required considerable labor to shape them into a pen form. The use of u screw press belongs to the period of John Mitchell, Joseph and Joseph Mason; but on a careful review of the facts it seems to be Clear that John Mitchell has the best claim to be con- as the introducer of press made pens.

It was Paris, in November, 1873, in the work- shop of M. Gramme, that the first install- i on a really industrial scale of j lighting took place by means of a continuous current dynamo and I regulators. It was also in Paris, in 1877, that the candle was first em- ployed; sixteen lights, distributed over a distance of about yards, being sup- plied by a single alternate current Gramme machine. Paris, therefore, had the hon- or of possessing the first public and lighting produced by means of currents. M. Fontaine thinks that in 1890 or th e electric lighting in Paris will require for its production mo- force equal, in round numbers, to

There are some crack shots among our sportsmen. On last Thursday week Miss Naoma House, daughter of Elder David House, near Greenville, was married to Elder M. T. Lawrence, of Hamilton. The bride's father per- formed the ceremony. The tor extends best wishes. To day the Reflector sends out a large news supplement filled with good reading matter. We will here- after send out supplements every week so long as our advertising pat- is so large. We want to give patrons all the reading matter hie. It was real amusing to sec the two police trying to persuade an old hog in the pound the other day. The old had been there before and would just approach near enough to eat up all the corn they threw out but would not enter the gate. The officers finally gave it up as a bad job. The mammoth double stores J. B. Cherry Co., are enjoying a tremendous rush of trade now. Such an elegant line of goods as they car- is bound to draw, the people to them. The stock of furniture that they carry is well worth going to look at, even if you should not want to buy anything. Orphan Entertainment.

They should be liberally patronized and given a large fund to take home with them from Greenville. Should at the Depot. Grifton correspondent was a little unjust to Capt. Whitaker, con- on the train, in his comments last week. We have inquired into the matter and learn that the parties who got left were off up town instead of at the depot. Capt. Whitaker says the trains stop there amply long to give all passengers time to get on or off the train. Large Potatoes. Mr. John Flanagan is a champion potato raiser. Early in the season he brought the Reflector one that weighed pounds. On Monday he dug a hill that produced pounds of potatoes, and were only three of them. The largest weighed pounds, another was almost as large and the last was a very small one. This beats the record.

Y., brings us the information that Mr. Vincent White died there on the 9th inst. He was once a of Greenville but left here just after the war and made his home in New York State. He never forgot bis Southern home, however, and delighted in reading the Reflector each week and learning what was going on down here. There are some of our citizens who remember him. Lang's Column-Read it. Died Mr. John Randolph, a very highly esteemed citizen of this township, died at his home five miles above Greenville, on Sunday evening at o'clock, fie was about years old and bad been in declining health during the last few years. He was an excellent gentleman and had a large circle of friends. Monday afternoon the remains were interred in the family cemetery, funeral vices being conducted by Rev. A. D.

TEE THINS IN writer not recall an a more pleasantly spent was passed in Henderson last Thursday. Henderson is one of most prosperous and go ahead towns in North Carolina, and the way new buildings are going op is just wonderful to behold. But what interested us most while there was the mammoth tobacco warehouse Y. Cooper. in the State is there a warehouse that is more convenient, better managed or has better facilities than this. Of course we have not seen all in the State, but don't believe it possible that can be surpassed. It is building and mod- after the most improved plan. It large basement in which are hundreds of graders and tiers busy at work. Just this work alone Cooper pays out from to per week. Many farmers who ship tobacco to him to send it in bulk and then get ex- graders to handle it, knowing this will enable them to get better prices. Between this floor and the sales room is a large elevator to facilitate handling tobacco. To look over that large sales floor one who does not know much about tobacco warehouses would hardly believe there is ever enough of weed earned there at one time to cover it. But just wait tor the sale and yon will not only see the floor full, but also wagon loads and hogsheads waiting to get on floor. Never a day goes by that does not see Cooper's Ware- house with a big roan. big prices he gets for tobacco makes it go to him. The warehouse is fitted with a double office splendid- furnished. Above these offices and extending across one end of the building are a number of rooms, comfortably arranged, in which farmers have to stay over night may have good to sleep. This shows that Cooper looks after personal comforts of those who sell with him as well as after their tobacco bring the highest prices. Now a few words about Dave Cooper personally. Of course tobacco planter in Caro- many outside of North Carolina, have beard of him and his mammoth warehouse, bat he most be seen to be known well. He is one of the cleverest and most social men you ever act. He makes a friend of a man the very first thing after meeting him.

The little girls of our families mils lie started with that idea The carat of our American that our young women are that first, second, third, fifth, sixth, seventh, tenth, fiftieth, thous- things in their life is to get somebody to take care of them. In- stead of the first lesson be how. under God, they may take care of themselves. The simple tact is that a majority them do have to take care of themselves, and that, too, alter having. the false no of their parents, the years in which they ought to have learned how successfully to maintain themselves. It is inhuman and cruel for any father or mother who pass their daughters into womanhood having given them no facility for earning their livelihood. Madame de is not these writings that I am proud of, hut the fact that I have facility in ten occupations, in any one of which I could make a We should teach our daughters that work any kind, necessary, is a credit and hon- or to them.

The people Eastern Carolina arc as good and respectable people as there are in the State, and they pay the same fare that is paid on other roads are entitled to as good accommodations as other people. In the second place, the passenger trains are all the lime behind. From one to two hours behind the printed schedule is the running schedule. There was a whisper a days ago that some were ready to sue the company if proper connection was not made with other trains at Weldon. Persons go to the depot at Scotland Neck at a. m., the ad- schedule, and sit there wait- for the train until nearly o'clock frequently. Now, this is simply an outrage. It is not in with the usual courtesies of one gentleman towards another. A man's time is his money in this country, and no man has any right lo make another wait for him it it can be avoided. All this delay is caused by the passenger train having to handle freights. A passenger train on a railroad line nearly miles long has no right to be fooling with freight ears. When men get on a freight ear to ride they the chances better or for worse; but when they get on a regular passenger train, they always calculate for a ride accord- to schedule. The authorities ought have more self-respect than to have every man and woman that travels over the line continually grumbling at out slow schedules. And then freights are handled ton carelessly If things are smashed up much longer as have boon of late the road will be the loser. The train hands have so much work to do that they can not do it well. Another daily freight train would cure the whole thins;. Old Favorite.
