THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT, LIMITED.

The twenty second annual report of The
Colonial Company, Limited, prepared
against the general meeting ''to be held
at the Office of the Company on Thursday,

hope of restored dividends which was
raised by the Directors in two preceding
reports, although the point of fruition has
not yet been reached. The gross profits
of the year 1887 amounted to G41. 636, from
which had to be deducted s1O,343 for
business expenses, EOS for income tax,
and G15,935 for interest on debentures,

Eighteen months ago, when he was

PUBLIC MEETING

| IN MIJhlA-Nl L IbLlN hE>E Law
One bright day during the warn
J weather Of last week large public
meeting was held by the Sphinre
! Carolina. better known as the to-
bacco worm moth The meeting
was in an old tobacco barn on Hill
R"d's place in Madison county
The barn was filled to overhowing
those not fortunate in obtaining
seats on the floor hung on to The
r&;ttls overhead.
\ enerable old moth from Swain
county was called to the chair and
Buncomh" was granted the secreta
ryship; the old fellow made feel
| ing speech in taking the chair. ad,
! yised harmony in the proceedings
and cooperation in everything
undertaken he trusted one and all
woula give the matters under dis
cussion grave and earnest thought.
There was an effort, said he, by the
new settlers, the Fh5lotera to over
ride and crush the Sphinres. thereby
bringing themselves and their fruit
bearing vines more prominently
before the people such action while
it was to be condemned could not
injure the Sphinres they would but
the more flourish and multiply. The
effort was selfish one however.
He would like to have the views of
gentlemen on the new tobacco crop
A hoarv old moth from Virginia
opened the discussion. He said there
was never a better outlook
for Sphiuxes he had
learned that tobacco seed had
been and was still selling by the
bushels TO the planters, that every
acre OF land suited to tobacco cult
vation was being prepared for the
cr-p, and even here the smoke from
hundreds of tobacco beds was as
cending skywards. A tremendous
crop will be set if seasons come, and
this will be the year for the tobacco
worm to grow an" multiply. (Ap-
plause.) He recommended the
meeting to report i May every
planter who had oyer cropped him7
self, and that list of them be MADE
and copy gwen t1 each female
mostly to show the rnost favorable
place 10 deposit her eggs for safety
and a sure means of Iiving to mas
turity.
Another intelligent speaker from
Tennessee laid that all enormous
crop was being prepared for and it
gave promise to his race: he recon-
mended also that oyer cropped
plantations would be their best
chance, and that the infant worms
be instructed that the curl near the
stalk was the nest hiding place; he
thought this year the tobacco worm
could 60 into winter quarters in vast
numbers. [Applause] Appropri-
ate resolutions were passed, thanks
were voted Mr.. Red for use Eof his
barn, proper committees appointed
and the meeting adjourned to meet
again in the middle of June.

under, or outside of the Presidential
veto. It was undoubtedly a service
pension bill; but the amendment of
fered by the Senator from Arkansas
would bring the bill directly within
purvieW of the Presidents veto al
the last Congress.
Mr.. Plumb moved to strike out the
word ''tot.liy" before the word "in'
capacitated" and gave notice that il
his motion prevailed he would have
to amend further by providing that
the pension should be from 81 to $1l
a month. according tc the degree oi
incapacity
Mr.. Berry argued that the strik-
ing out of the word totally would
make the bill simply a service pens
sion bill, and would practically open
the doors to all who had served in
the Union army, and who were not
now on the pension rolls.
After long discussion MIR.
Plumb's motion was agreed to and
the word totally was stricken out.
II the course Of the debate it was
developed that under the bill as it
stands there can be no grading OF
pensions according to degree OF dis
ability, but all alike its beneficiaries
will receive SI2 per month
Mr.. Plumb also moved t. insert
the following. All pensions grant
ed to widows under this or any 9TH
er general law shall take effect from
the date of the death of the hus-
bands otsuch widows respectively,
but not dating back of the passage
of this act" Agreed to without div
vision.
Mr.. Call moved an amendment
to make the bill apply to those who
served inthe Florida, wal, but accept
ed the modification of it moved by
MIR. Morgan by making it apply to
those who served in the war with
Mexico and "for thirty days in war
with Indian tribes"
Without disposing of this amend
ment the bill was laid aside, and
MIR. Blair proposed an amendment
IN Ofdef to have 1t printed, prOVlu>
ing for a service pension at the rate
OF $40 month. Executive session.

An Immense Strike Begins.

CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-At / O'Clock
Tuesday morning all the engineers
on the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy system of railroads struck.
TIE strike promises to be the most
remarkable ever known, for the
strongest single labor organization
in existence has been pitted against
the largest railroad corporation in
the west, and one Of the greatest in
mileage and wealth in the would
Should the strike continue long i;
is probable that in addition to the
IA 600 men directly involved, the
great majority Of the 400 employ
es of the company will be thrown
out of employment. The $4,000
members of the Engineers Broth
erhood throughout the county are
called upon to contribute Of their
savings, and the industries OF the
vast section of country tributary to
the road subjected to partial p1ral-
ysis. The far reaching effects of
the strike can be inferred from the
fact that the road has six thousand
miles OF main and leased lines grid

cagO it reaches to Denver over 900
miles away, and Chayenne, Wyo-
ming, equally as far; Minneapolis
to the North and St. Louis to the
South, are within its reach; the ter
ritory of an empire.
General Manager Stone of the
Burlington road says that every
engineer on the main line of the
road, except the one at Galesburg
went out. A few suburban trains
were run by the aid of engineers
drawn from the shops-mechanics
yard foremen, &c. The strikers
did not bring their engines through
to the end Of their runs, but left
them at the nearest point when 4

Horrible Explosion in California

VALE 10, CAL, Feb. 27.-As the
ferry steamer Julia, plying between
South Valley Jo and Valley 10 sta,
ton, was about to start from South
Valley 10 at 6 o'clock this morning
she blew up. She had about seventy
passengers on board. A m joritv of
the passengers were below the deck,
AS it was cold and foggv. Those on
deck were all blown overheard Some
were killed by being dashed against
the wharf and others were drowned.
The vessel took fire almost immedi-
ately, burned to the waters edge and
the hulk sank.
Large vats of petroleum stored on
the wharf caught fire and the flames
spread rapidly. The fire companies
were unable to accomplish anything
owing to the tide being out, and fit
teen minutes after the explosion six
hundred feet of the wharf, freight
depot and the telegraph office were
burning. When the tide came in
they managed to get supply of wa
ter and at noon had the fire under
control. 1t is believed that between
thirty and forty lives we're lost. Up
to late hour this afternoon twelve
bodies have been recovered, two of
which were burned beyond resogni-
ton. At least fifteen who are known
to have been on the steamer are still
missing. The steamer burned petro-
leum for fuel.
1t will probably never be known
how the explosion occurred, impress
sion prevails that it was the petro-
leum tank on the steamer that acci-
dentantly took fire and exploded.
This same steamer, in 1886, blew
out her boiler head, killing eleven
persons.
