The Wilmington Messenger At
tacks Durham.

The RECORDER was surprised on
reading an editorial in the Whining
ton Messenger of the 18th inst head
ed She reported Outrage at DUR
ham, Why the Messenger should
have written such an article we are at
q loss to know. We were unable to
detect q truthful assertion In the
whole article. He says: "Mr. Jor-
dan IL essentially an agitator and
modern reform" II to incite the
prejudices of the negroes against the
whites. If to seek to stir up strife be-
tween the employed and unimployed,
and threaten capital with strikes and
all manner Of evils, il to practice ST..
clal equality entities man 10 be call.
ed modern reformer, the RECORDER
and the good people Of Durham can.
not endorse the Messengers and Jor-
dau's ideas Of reform The Messeng
er again says: ... 49,.
Indeed, we find that he was deem.
I'd ofsufficient power and importance,
two years ago. TO be taken up by the
best people Of the town-the very
best, as they esteem themselves, the
wealthy and controlling class land
used 10 promote the cause Of prohibi
tion, then q live issue there, and was
run on the "Dry" ticket as q candi-
date for Alderman, and the town
went "dry." And we have no doubt
Mr. Jordan was, for the time being, a
local hero. as perhaps he deserved TO
be- T..
We would be glad to know who
told the Messenger this falsehood.
The only sentence that is true in the
above paragraph is "ths tom ~sat
dry" ry...---...-..-.- ....
Again the Messenger says:-"Mr.
Jordan at leest Is no doubt good
citizen. We would stake our wager
ON it." Then ron differ from che
white men Of Durham. Irrespective Of
party sffiliaIions- The court records
show that he has been convicted Of a
common nuisance since he came to
Durham. The good citizens Of
Franklinton N. O.. did not think well
OF the Messengers "angel" and gave
him three hours IN which 10 shake
the dust Of that town from bis feet.
His reputation around Wake Forest
College is not as good as the MeS-
senger seeks 10 make it. His general
reputation since he came 10 Durham
is not good. He Wis not leader of
the knights Of Labor. We have
some as good, some as true men 10
that order in Durham as can be found
in the world. and we know they do
not endorse the course be has persued
since his arrival in Durham.
The people of Durham wish no
advice from any one who will write
such an article as the one above res
ferred to, so the Messenger need not
waste its time. Durham will take
care Of herself in the future as she
has in the past. The white people
and the best element Of the colored
people will see that no blot will ever
isll upon the fair escuicheon of Dur
ham. When we have man here who
Is o general nuisance, a sort of COM
munist We all club 10 and send
him to q more genial cline. The
next one We have in our midst We
will gladly send to Wilmington,
providing the Messenger will act as
his guardian and not let him ipjure
the good people Of that city.

said, Sshortens the time for payment from

The House bill last year required an imme-
diate payment on the principal. and one

substantially copies the House bill 1t has
q new section, however, providing for
the railroad restoring all the unincumbered
lands, the value OF which is to be credited on

fsPHEMIEo, Mich Jan. l0.-The Republic
can Congressional Convention for the
Eleventh Congressional District Of Michigan
will meet at Ispheming Wednesday, Jan. 25.
But barely two weeks remain between now
and the day on which the convention will
choose a leader for the REPUBLICAN forces.
The time will be made the most OF, and the
three leading candidates, Jay Hubbell, John
q. Adams Of Negannee, and Charles t. o.
burn Of Marquette, are making every effort
to secure delegations from various counties OF
the district. The primaries and county con-
ventions will be held next week.
OF the other candidates who would be
available IN case the three leading men should
be unable to agree on one OF their number
are Sam Stephenson, Of Menomlnee; Perry
Hannah, of Traverse City, and William +.
Swift, of Isbpeming. There is no lack OF
good Congressional timbsr in the Eleventh
district The prospect is now that the con-
vention will be stormy one.
John Power OF Escanaba will be the nomi-
nee Of the Democratic party. He is an able
man, with a clear record, and were there a
possibility OF his election would make a good
Congressman. The canvass on the part OF
the Democrats will not be very exciting
one They are outstanding their strength
until next fall, when every muscle
will be strained to elect Democratic
Congressman. The district is Repub-
lican, but not by the overwhelming
majority OF few years ago. Moffatt's sue
cessor will be a Republican, but he will not
be elected by such a majority as Hubbell and
Brettung received few years ago. The
majority of the Republican nominee will be
from ], 500 to $500. according to the personal
popularity of the nominee and the vigilance
of the Democracy.

the north end OF the mill and scattering
wreck and ruin everywhere. The boiler, %
feet long by AZ inches in diameter, parted
near the middle, the parts being projected
in exactly opposite directions, each demolish-
ing huge brick smokestack in its course,
one Of which stood sixty yards away. Most
of the $50 employees were at dinner, otherwise
the loss of life might have been great.
Matt Mortimer and William Williams,
puddlers, were at work at the fatal furnace
The former was buried under tons Of red
hot brick, and his remains were crushed and

Charges Made Against a Prominent Pas
tor of That Place.
KALAMAZOO, Mich, Jan. 10-The talk Of
the city is the highly sensational episode
which occurred in the Unitarian Church
Sunday. For some time "bad blood" has
been apparent between the Rev. G. E. Ellis,
supplying the pulpit. and ex-Lieut.- Gov.
May. prominent member of the church.
1t eliminated Sunday in meeting of the
congregation, called for after the service, to
take action on continuing the Rev. Mr. Ellis
as pastor, at which Mr.. May protested
against holding the meeting on SO
short notice. In the course of
his remarks he denounced MFR. Ellis
as unfit to occupy pulpit, closing by
sending to the Secretary's desk copy of an
article severely rejecting on the moral char
acter of Mr.. Ellis. This created great indig-
nation and several bitter speeches were
made, denouncing Mays actions as outrage
Gus, uugentlemanly, and unseemly. When
quiet was restored, on the suggestion Of Mr..
Ellis, a committee was appointed to investi-
gate the charges and toreport in three weeks,
and with but one discerning vote motion to
continue Mr.. Ellis as pastor, pending the re-
port of the committee, was carried. Mr..
Ellis has done good work for his denomina-
ton, and says he will be able to refute all the
attacks made upon him

PACIFIC RAILROADS,


LegisIatlon Win Follow the Lines of the
Commissions Majority Report.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10-The construction
of the House Committee on Pacific railroads
indicates that legislation in pursuance of the
work of the Investigating Commission is
likely to follow the lines of the majority re-
port rather than the radical suggestions of
Chairman Pattison. There is large pro-
portion of new blood in the committee, but
if antecedents indicate anything none of
them are extremists upon corporation ques-
tions Two OF the three Republican new
members have recently come from the
bench. Mr.. Cultivate, Chairman of the
Committee, was author of the House bill
last session. Speaking of the two reports of
the investigating commission, although de-
Ginning to express an opinion as to the wisdom
of their recommendations. he plainly
indicated that he did not consider the differ
ences between the majority recommended
tons and the bill which passed the House
