the party is not as yet compact or in

different divisions will try their
strength in the congressional races
this fall and unite as state organiza-

North Carolina is now represented in
the National house of representatives
by seven Democrats and one Republi-
can. but judging from Developments
made in the late canvass. the new
National party will very materially
alter the political complexion Of the
present representation and deprive
the Democrats Of three and perhaps
four of the seats now filed by men,
bers of their party. While the Ma
tionals made but few nominations in
the late contest for the legislature and
elected only one member. the follow

that the two most influential Irish

endorsement Of the Democratic state

A Serious Mistake.
This morning an aged lady who has
passed her three score and ten years,
came tottering into the post office and
inquired for her pension papers. Being
informed by the clerk that they had
not arrived, she burst into tears, say.
ing she had nothing to eat in the
house. 1t appears that the woman's
name is Ann Clark, and Mr.. Smith was
a witness when the papers were made
ont. The party who wrote the papers
out made a mistake by writing Mr..
Smiths name as the principal and Mrs.
Clark as the witness, hence the mis-
take. The papers have been corrected,
and we hope she will receive them in
few days.

A DEAD BODY FOUND.

Last week some workmen who were en-
gagged in repairing break in the river en-
bankment on- the Delaware, in the Ham
burg farm, near New Castle, they found 10
clump of brush the remains of human
body, which was entirely nude. The cloth
ing and flesh were entirely gone, with the
exception of one foot, which still retained
the shoe, and around the bone of the neck
was black silk necktie, clasped with g
gold pin. The skeleton was intact, and
was carefully gathered up and buried in a
piece of high ground near by, and the place
marked. The necktie and pin were given
to M. M. Cleaver, who will retain them.
The shoe was of the ordinary button kind,
and was buried with the remains. Every
vestige of clothing and flesh were gone, ex-
cept, as we have mentioned, but the skele.
ton was complete, not bone being missing
The body had evidently been there long
while, but the tie and pin may be the means
at some time Of identifying it.

"HE WAS THERE BEFORE"


Yesterday at noon an Italian called on
Louis Cardanella, at bis pea mt stand at
Fourth and Market streets, and informed
him that there was country man of theirs
over the bridge, who had plenty of money,
and in crazy fit was throwing it away
The stranger and Louis had few social
drinks, when Louis became slightly intoxi-
Gated, and then the stranger learned that
his intended victim was the possessor oil
about $500. After be had gained this in
formation he told Louis that If he would
60 and get bis money, they would induce
the supposed crazy man to 60 to Philadel-
phia, and then they would rob him and
share the plunder.
Under the plea of consenting, Louis
started off, and having seen the game play
ed once before, he went to Joseph Daniels
and told him the circumstances, and he il
turn procured the services of officers Gibbons
aud Cannon, who arrested both parties and
locked them up. On searching them some
5000 was found in good money. CardaneIla
thought the strangers intended to get him
to 60 to Philadelphia, and after mixing his
money with the counterfeit to return the
bal money and keep his.
No counterfeit money being found on
them, they were discharged.
