DEATH OF A PROMINENT BUSINESS
MAN.-We learn from the Waynes-
boro' Record that Mr. Bowman pro
prietor of the steam engine and boiler
works at Waynesboro, Pa, died on
Monday Of last week in Lancaster, of
typhoid fever. For several weeks
Mr.. Prick has been Frustrated with
typhoid fever, and quite recently Mr..
Bowman was attacked with the same
disease in Lancaster city, to which
place he was on visit. Three of Mr..
Frick' sons are also down with the
disease. Within the last four or five
months there have been nine cases OF
fever in the family Of Mr.. F., two Of
which proved fatal. We understand
the family physician has recently been
making Investigations to ascertain if
there is not some local cause for this
general and protracted sickness, and
he has found that near cistern from
which water has been used for Mr..
Frck,s family, where Mr.. Bowman
boarded, is a sink for waste and i'm
pure water, which be feels confident
has polluted the cistern and caused
the sickness.
In consequence of the sickness Of SC
many of those interested in the affairs
of their large business, and death Of
one of its active members, operations
at their works in Waynespnro will be
temporarily suspended.

TIE OLD NORTH STATE AWAKE.
The Liberal Nominee for the Governor.
ship OF North Carolina.

GREENSBORO, N. c., May2.
The Democratic Convention which met here
yesterday morning. and which has Just ad-
journed, was one Of the most harmonious that
ever assembled. About one thousand dele
gates atte'ded from the eighty-two counties,
and although nothing had been cut and dried,
such harmony prevailed that anomlnaiion was
made on the first ballot. 1t may be- safely pre-
diced hat tine next Governor of North Caro-
lima will be Judge Augustus S. Merrlman, and
the political funeral Of Tod Caldwell Grants
prolege, will be held on the first Thursday In
August. Judge Aerrtmaa Is rather good
looking man, about forty.ave years old, me-
dunn sized, well formed and though he was
known as one of the slowest lawyers at the
bar, he has surprised his friends by the &C.
curacy and dispatch with which he transacLs
all business as a jndge. During the war he
was moderate or peace man and held senti-
ments which would have made any other per-
son unpopular. He represented Buncombe,
his native county. several Years in the Stale
Legislature, and In 1864 was made solicitor of
the Seventh Judicial Circuit. He was appointed
to the bench by Ex-Governor Holden, hut pre-
fer,ing 10 practice at theabar. he resigned In
1867, and formed copartnership with Sam
Phillips, aud opened an..office in Raleigh, and
the firm has since become one of the most
eminrnt In the State. 1t is believed here that
the decentralization produced in Grants ring
by The Liberal movement will give Judge
Merriman an easy walk over. The rest of
the Liberal nominations are as follows: Lieu
tenant-(Iovernor, Major John Hughes treas
urer, Major John w. Graham; atlorney-gene-
ral, Judge " lliam NJ Ship; secretary of State,
Juhn A. Wumack; auditor general, G. Leaven-
throp; superintendent of public instruction,
