MOST UNLUCKY JOKE.
David Colbert Accidentally Kills Ills
Young Bride.

A Chicago telegram says: Mrs. David A.
Colbert, bride OF two weeks, was shot and
killed this morning by her husband in their
room at his parents house at lf5 Burling
street. The shooting Tas accidental, but 1t
was clear case Of reckless carelcs sness in
the use o. a revolver. As her husband
was dressing Mrs. Colbert picked up
his watch from the pillow and told
him iOkingly that she meant TO
keep It. $50 YOU mean TO be n highway
robber. do you? Then turn blghwayman, l."
he said laughingly as he pulled his pistol
from his pocket. "Stsnd and deliver"
Mrs. Colbert jumped ont Of bed, and as she
tried 10 get hold OF the pistol Colbert at
tempted TO keep II out OF her reach. In
some way she managed TO strike the weapon
with her hand. An explosion followed, and
Colbert, as he saw blood appear on her
night.dress. fell in a faint 10 the floor. AS
her Younger sister came running into the
room MIS-. Colbert easped, "Oh Kitty,
look at David" and fell dead. she had been
shot ia the left breast.
Her husband, on recovering conscious
ness, made two attempts 10 take bis own life,
once with the revolver and again with a
carving.kniie. lie was disarmed by the
family and held until the police arrived and
carried him of TO the statiOn-hCuse for safe
keeping. Colbert is twenty.One years Old
aud a clerk for Charles German, board.oi-
trade man. His wife was very pretty girl.
and but seventeen years Of age. They re-
turned from their wedding trip Just week
ago.

GoOD.-ThO Washington correspondent Of

GoOD.-The Washington correspondent Of
the Alexandra Gazette says:
"Messrs. O'Ferrall Of Virginia and Buck
alew OF Pennsylvania prepared an amend
ment making ID PLAIN that the bill did not
change the existing duty on coal and iron
ore. That amendment was offered at the
caucus last night and adopted. Subsequently,
however, Mr.. Fisher, OF Michigan, offered an
amendment putting coal on the free list.
Mr.. O'Ferrall had then left the Capitol, bat
Mr.. Wise, OF the Richmond district, immc-
diatey rose and stated that II such an amend
ment were adopted be doubted II the bill
would be endorsed by either Virginia or
West Virginia. A vote was then taken aud
the amendment WAS defeated by two>thirds
majority. The North Carolina members at.
tackled the bill for falling TO remove the entire
tobacco tax and the tax on fruit-brandy, and
proposed amendments removing both those
taxes"
We are glad that Dir. WISE thus stands up
for the rights OF his constituents. The Virs.
ginis members must be vigiant, or iron ore
and coal may yet be put upon the free list,
and the proposition TO abolish all the taxes
on fruit-brandies and tobacco will fail.

The commencement Of the Southwest Viz.
GINA Female Institute has called 10 this
place large company Of visitors. The eX-
crcses opened with the commencent sermon
from Rev. 4. +. Dickinson, ID. D., of Rich
mond. The literary address was from Rev
j. l.. Burrows. ID. d., OF Norfolk, aud the
address before the Harrsonian Society was
by Rev. w. T.. Hatcher, ID. D., OF Richmond.
The friends oi the school are greatly plsssed
at the success Of thus Qhe fourth) session Of
the school. Among the ninety-siX students
catalogued are young ladies' representing
eight states. II was decided 70 erect new
building 10 accommodate the greatly ir-
creased number expected next session. DR..
Dickinson, Of Richmond. was put forward
to engineer the collection. The amount
raised. a., $50, leaves no doubt Of the speedy
completion Of the new building.

Blaine VIII go to Depcw naturally. There
are no antagouisms TO be overcome, and
there are powerful afiinities. In addition
TO this and still more potent reason is tnat
Depew IL believed to be stronger In New
York and 10 have better chances for carrying
the State than any other man."
The Plain Dealer says there is no reason
for supposing that SHERMAN will be the
nominee; that 1t will hardly be GRESHAM
because that gentleman Is put forward by
the anti. BLAINE influence in the party, the
low.tarlG men. the stalwarts, and the mug
wumps, and that ALLISON, ALGER, HARRl'
SON, HAwLEY, and the other candidates OF that
rank are too small to be seriously considered.

The Atlanta Constitution and the Nash.
vile american both express pleasure at the
disposition manifested by the Democratic
caucus OF the House Of Representatives to
improve the MILLS bill rs much as possible.
We gave the other day list Of the PROPOSE
tons which had been made to change that
bill. We give below from the Washington
Post an official statement Of the amendments
made by the Democratic House caucus 10 the
tarid bill during the last three meetings.
Tue fact that 50 many changes have been
agreed to ought 10 convince every unprelu-
diced man that the bill as 1t came from the
committee was very imperfect one. We

The North Carollna Democrats.


The North Carolina State Democratic Con-
vention, which ended its labors at las A. NJ.
yesterday, was a remarkable body in many
respects-remarkable for its size, it, tho
roughly representative character, It's per-
sonnet, the stubbornness with which the
triangular fight for the guberRatOrill nomi-
nation was carried on, and most OF all,
for the enthusiasm and unanimity with
which the result Of that fight was accepted.
The proceedings OF the convention were
characterized by a display OF earnestness
and good feeling that presages Unremitting
work and thorough party UNITY during the
campaign and sweeping Democratic VIC
tory in the fall. The best material OF the
party from every section OF the State
was in the convention, and the yigor with
which the claims OF the several candidates for
first place on the ticket were chsmpiOned
was inspiring; but still moro inspiring was
the evidence that the desire for good govern.
ment and tho supremacy Of Democracy was
regnant with all. Judge FOwLE, who was
nominated for Governor, is spoken OF as
man OF exceptional personal magnetism and
one Of the most eloquent speakers in
the South. lie is abundantlY able
to carry out his promise to make a
thorough canvass. The other nominees are
welLknOwn and popular men, who with
Judge FOwLE 20 to make up not only q
welrounded ticket but one Of the strongest
ever put ia the field In the Old North state.
The convention did both the proper and
graceful thing in endorsing so warmly the
administration Of Governor SCALES. He
has In truth made an honest, patriotic, and
conservative Executive. We congratulate
our cousins over the border upon the present
administration and the certainty Of con-
tnued good government during the next
gubernatOrial term.
