THE SEARCH FOR STANLEY.


-
Anxiety.
LONDON, May Notwithstanding the re-
Gently expressed opinion of DR.. Schweinfurth,
Of Brussels, that no uneasiness need be felt con-
corning the fate of Henry NJ. Stanley and the
reports to the same effect from Africa, very lit
tie hope is felt here of his safety or even that
the explorer is alive.
1t is thought that, although the projectors OF
the Stanley expedition use publicly a reassur-
ring tone, their private opinion regarding the
heroic explorer is in accordance with the opin-
ion of those who, if they have not already given
Stanley up, entertain scarcely any hope of his
arrival.
AT Waielai it is pointed out that his route is
infested with large bands of hostile Arabs and
natives with whom SANKEY'S force would be
unable to cope long, especially if his company
was diminished by disease and its efficiency
weakened by a scarcity of ammunition, as can
hardly fail to be the case, so long time has
elapsed since Stanley could replentish his
stores at a camp and no reinforcements have
been known to reach him.
English opinion in the matter is greatly in
fuenced by the army men, who, when the gov
eminent was requested to assist in the rescu-
ing expedition, gave their advice adverse to
the proposition, saying that it would result
simply in another Gordon affair."
No news has yet been received as to whether
the searching party under Major Barrttelot has
started on its march, This party was to leave
Arruwimi about June /
At last accounts the major was getting a
sufficient force of men together, a large num-
Der of whom Tippo lib was to supply.
1t is to be hoDed that some accurate informa-
does not succeed in finding Stanley for, if the
explorer has been killed, or is held as a prisoner
anywhere, there will certainly be some means
of ascertaining the fact.

RUINED BY A CYCLONE.
North Carolina Farmers Have Their To-
bacco Destroyed.


milton, n. c., June 4.-One of the most ter
rifle cyclones that has ever visited this section
passed near this place at O'Clock Saturday
evening. The length of the track was about
twenty-five miles and five hundred yards wide
The destruction and devastation was immense.
Whole plantations of recently planted corn
and tobacco were wiped out and buckets full
OF hailstones, as large as guinea eggs, could be
easily gathered, and the weather has since
been so cold that hail is still seen on the ground
and people are sitting by fires. The woods are
strewed with green leaves like the fall of dry
leaves in autumn.
The fine plantation of John Cunningham,
situated about eight miles east of here in Per-
son county, containing fifteen thousand acres
Cd fine bright tobacco land recently planted,
was terribly. damaged. His buildings, which
were equal to small village, were destroyed,
and twenty-five very large forest trees in his
yard were blown to the ground, some of them
falling on his large frame dwelling and COM
pletely demolishing it. Mr.. Cunningham is
very wealthy and can easily stand the loss.
He is the largest tobacco raiser in this tobacco
belt of North Carolina. Prospects of smaller
farmers are completely ruined for this year.

MURDER IN BROOKS.
George West, White Man, Jailed for Flu


QUITMAN, Ga, June 6.-[Special. i George
West, young white man, struck and shot Westly
Johnson, negro man, yesterday, and killed him.
The parties live about six miles west of this place.
West claims that he acted in sefdefense, but the
evidence at the coroners inquest made
a case of murder, and such was the YER
dict of the jury. 1t seems that WeStly
Johnson was eating his breakfast at Mrs Newsome S
when West came up and told him that he owed him
for some clothes and that lie must leave Mrs. New
some's and come and work 1t out with him. To
this Johnson replied that he would make the money
and pay the debt.
Thercupon West commenced to curse him. and
words having passed West struck him with an iron
rod and crushed his skull and almost stimuli
taneously commenced to fire upon
him with a pistol. Either wound
would probably have produced death. Johnson
died soon thereafter.
The strange part of the matter was that West went
to Quitman to get sheriff Mcneil to go with him to
hold inquest, and at said inquest verdict ren-
dered charging him with murder caused his incar.
ceTation. Public sentiment is decidedly against
West.

: until it switched off, no one present knew
how, to the subject of desirable localities

who would have some favorable sugges.

had been of short duration and not

The Famous Big Four TO Ask Quite n

Jake Wigars of the Big Four crew o
the Sylvan boat club, has retained Olive
Olsen, Esq, of this city, to bring in hi

is to be based on the article appearing il

which the members of the Big

their board bills at the Hotel Florence at

trance fees and club dues with forged
check, and having stolen soap from the
Hotel Florence.

that it had been handed in to the office,
