Items of the Industry Of the Capital

The opening of the new Como road to the
fair grounds does not amount to as much as
at first supposed. 1t appears now that all
that will be done this season will be the
cutting away of the intervening brush and
the wagons will be allowed TO make road
of their own. No grading will be at
tempted. The work will be done by the
male inmates of the workhouse. Next year
it is quite likely that the road will be graded
and put in good condition and that the
work will be done by other than the work
house buns.
A large number of men and teams are
pushing the work of grading, curbing and
macadamizing Oak street, from Third street
to Ramsey street. Oak street, when this
work is completed, will be very pleasant

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-While the
judges of the court of Alabama claims are
answering charges made against them of
unauthorized expenditures and general eX-
travagance it will be well for them to eX-
plain why some of the Stinting economy
they have exhibited in the employment of
messengers and scrub women didn't strike
their salary list little higher. Mr.. FeS-
sender, the clerk of the court, gets
81, 400 year, and possibly has
been able to make considerably
more besides, by miscellaneous fees, as his
predecessor in the place did, but the clerks
OF other United States courts get no more
than IS, 500 and turn in all their fees. Mr..
Walker Blaine, the assistant counsel, has
drawn So, 500 per annum, but no district at
torney in the country has an assistant who
does so well. While the court of Alabama
claims was blind to this fact it was not
above hiring two messengers at $500 year,
one at $3.50 and one at $500, nOtwithStand
ing the lowest pay the same class of men
get in any other branch of the government
service is S72O year.

who have been getting IS, only, month,
although everywhere else in the depart
ments they get SIS. The Alabama claims
court was manifeStly resolved to show that
1t could ecOnOmize when it wanted to.
The suspension of the accounts of the
coast survey and of the court of Alabama
claims is only the fOrerunner of a series
of startling objections, to be made by the
new treasury accountants. The fish COM
mission, although under the management of
so honorable scientist as Spencer,
+. Baird. is drifting into trouble. Extrava-
CANT and illegal expenditures have been
alleged and are being quietly investigated,
but there Is no criticism or question of the
value of the work performed. The geOlOg-
ical survey and the weather bureau have
also been so conducted as TO justify

IDENTIFY the end is not yet. Judge French,
OF the Alabama claims court, returned to
Washington this morning and was seen at
the rooms of the court to-day, but he has
done nothing as yet in the way of prepar-
ing an answer and will do nothing until
the other judge arrives. Those who are
pushing the fight against the court say that
charge of the most serious nature will be
brought against the court when Mr.. Cleve-
land returns to Washington. This charge
involves the integrity of the court, and if it
Is sustained will compel the summary re-
moyal OF at least one of the judges.

PRACTICALLY ADJUSTED.
A LabOrer's Views on the wabash
Strike.


MINNEAPoLIs, Aug. 2S.-I am glad to
know that there is one means of cOmmmi-
eating weekly with the public open to the
laboring classes-one great daily in which
full and free discussion of the labor ques-
ton is allowed.
The Tribune of this morning has head
line in the news columns which saws that
Wabash Troubles with the Knights of
Labor are Practically Adjusted" Without
stopping at the time to examine closely the
details of this adjustment. or to inquire
more fully into the probability of its truth.
l hope that the news as given will bring
some comfort TO the editorial writer of the
journal who has been lamenting the folly
OF these Knights in delaying or preventing
the return Of good times by their conduct.
beg leave 10 suggest that we think every
successful struggle against low or lower
wages is point made i'm favor of good
times. Low wages means bad trade and
many failures. Every business man of
any experience or sense would
rejoice to hear of general rise in wages.
They know it would help business. Two
dollars week taken from the income Of
every family of working people i'm the
United States would diminish the demand
for products to the extent of 81, 600. 900. 900
annually. If L am correctly informed, pO-
litical economists of the highest character
look on the fact that the laboring classes
can be brought down gradually 10 potato
diet, or something similar, as a sign of
danger. Wages have been kept lip in this
country and Europe by great combinations OF
laborels, but principally by the outlet for
capital and labor granted to the commercial
world in the opening up of this North
American continent. But. now that this
great job is substantially finished, the ten
dency of capital to idlenesS and of labor to
suffering and discomfort is very plain. Now
comes the very winter Of our discomfort"
and we shall be very grateful 10 every editor
and business man who gives our cause a
hearing. On behalf OF

Or. ~HayWood's Report

ut is we'll known to alienlsts. that the
sooner acute cases of insanity receive
proper hospital treatment, the better
their chances of recovery. The Board of
Directors are anxious to receive all acute
cases as soon as possible. From the Su-
perintendent' report the admissions ex-
coed that of any preceding year. Gun
mortality has been small, less than -four
per centum.
"In the Eastern Division comprising
f~fty-six counties assigned to the North
Carolina Insane Asylum, there are eight
hundred and fifty white insane. This
Asylum cannot accommodate more than
two hundred and fifty patients. Our
wards are constantly crowded with pa
cases. |. is therefore evident, that only
received, and that room for them
can be obtained only by the dis
charge of the cured or the removal
of the harmless incurables. Very often the
friends of the insane postpone making
application for their admission until they
have become chronic and almost hopeless
cases. If they are admitted, they add
to the number of incurables, aud prevent
the reception Of the acute cases from
their counties, and if postponed or re-
iected, are the innocent cause of unmeri-
ted censure Of the Board by their friends,
who do not discriminate between acute
and chronic cases of insanity, but very
naturally think that all INDECENT insane
are the wards of the State and should be
provided and cared for by it.
The returning of harmless incurables
to their counties Of settlement, in obed-
fence to Section 2260 of tie Code Of North
Carolina, is often attended with delay
from some ofthe sheriff $ neglecting their
duty, and when done, causes in many in
stances great distress and suffering to the
unfortunate persons sent and trouble and
expense to their families and friends, who
are often unable to bear it.
Therefore, the Board of Directors
respectfully request OF the Legislature
to make an appropriation to increase
the hospital accommodations for the in
sane IN this district. either by the pur-
chase of a building that could be made
suitable Tor such a purpose, or by adding
to the building OF the North Carolina
Insane Asylum. thus enabling them to
rescue from the dreadful state of chronic
insanity many who are fast approaching
that almost hopeless condition. They
also respectfully request, that in then
wisdom, they will so amend Sections
$3.50 and &C of the Code of North Caro-.
lima, as to relieve them of the burden o
keeping the harmless incurables wher
ordered to be transferred to their coun'
ties of settlement.
The expenditures for the Asylum fol-
the last two wears have haap rraoto,
n the improvements and repairs mucf
more extensive than were anticipated
The result of this is a debt which the
biennial appropriation was insufficient.
to pay, as will fully appear in the state
ments contained in the superintendent
reports for 1883 and 1884.

A FIENDISH REVENGE.-A rail
road accident occurred near Grafton, on
the Baltimore aud Ohio Railroad, in
which the engineer Carl IIeburn, and
the fireman, George Dorsey. met with a
shocking death The engine jumped
the track, falling about twenty feet to
the bed of the creek. Dorsey, was
caught beneath the engine wheels, and
was literally cooked alive by the escap-
ing steam. George Mcintyre, the mail
agent, was slightly bruised. The passtn
ger coaches left the rails, but remained
upright. All the passengers were more
or less bruised, but none seriously hurt
except an unknown man, whose head was
badly cut. A woman. named Adams,
had her arm broken. 1t was discovered
that some person had fastened a piece OF
iron in the switch frog The work had
been carefully done, and by some one who
had measured the space in the frog with
mechanical nicely. 1t is "a wonder that
the whole train was not overturned. In
which case the loss of life would nave
been frightful. Heburn was the oldest
passenger engineer on the road. This
makes the tenth man killed by this en-
CINE. The daring feature of the catas-
trophe is that the obstruction was placed
on the track not twenty minutes before
the passenger train left the track and af>
ter a freight train had just passed the
same spot. 1t is supposed that some
discharged employe of the road did the
deed.
