MONDAY morning our citizens
were taken considerably by surprise
on hearing that Mr.. John Hadfeld
had made an assignment of his en-
tire possessions. Mr.. II, has been an
extensive dealer in FAX seed, hides,

tinual in his attention to business,
for which he is certainly deserving
of a better result. The depression
in general trade is beginning to
bear heavily on many, out we hope
the worst has passed over.

WASHINGTON, December Ex-senator

could pick up valuable information.
The latest batch which passed through
here had money to pay their way, travel

oadsoi nobody. They declare that they
left North Carolina soil because they could
not make living there, and because they
were regarded and treated as being un'
equal to the whites before the law. To
the question whether they had been urged
by strangers, whether white or black, to
90 to Indiana or any other State, they an:
swered emphatically in the negative, and
asserted that they had never known or
heard OF the presence in North Carolina
o. any. strangers engaged In such wotk.
They had been led TO go to Indiana by
representations OF their former neighbors
who settled in that State two years ago,
and who had been urging their rolGtiyes
and friends ever since TO join them there,
and also by statements ottwo colored men
who went to Indiana from the southern
part OF North Carolina year or two ago

New York, December 23.-There is a
wrangle among the Brooklyn gas men con.
corning the consolidation Of the six old
gas companies into one organization. Four
Of the companies have voted in favor Of
consolidation and two against. The
Unton'AryuS, commenting on the situation,
says: The people OF Brooklyn have no con.
lldence in the promises OF cheaper gas,
Gas ought to be cheaper and can bc made

some OF our companies into great straits,
They claim that under the combination
the expenses will be largely reduced,

prise, which will love Brooklyn not only
wisely but well, aud light our homes and
business places on terms that will astonish
the natives. We take very little stock in
these expectations and aspirations. More
comfort Is to be found in the fact that the
electric light is perpetual threat to gas
companies, and that the product OF petro.
leum is resource and a substitution when
the oppressive hand Of the gas monopo.
