BISMARCK AND THE CAR TO
AGAIN CONFER.

The Chancellor Reads of Peace,
and II Is Thought the Cars
visit Will Increase COrdialitV
Between the two Powers.
Copyright ss9, N. Y. Associated Press
BERLIN, October 12.-Prince Bismarck
will have another conference with the
Gar tomorrow or Monday morning.
Yesterdays conference was chiefly Occu-
pied by Bismarck in reading to the Car
a memorandum on the aims of the Eu-
ropean Alliance of Peace. The exact
terms of the memoranda have not been
divulgcd, but semi-otficial hints through
the foreign office suggest that the chan
Cellor tried to convince the Car that the
alliance was non-aggressive, and directed
toward resolution OF the objects of the
Berlin treaty; that Germany was es-
peciallv interested in the preservation OF
peace; and, as a final and expressive
stroke, that all the great powers, except,
ing France, were united to prevent or
shorten European conflict. The Cars
subsequent friendly, and even atfable de-
meanor toward Prince Bismarck proved
that he took the chancellors exposition
with good natured courtesy; yet If a
semi-official note inspired in the Ham
burg correspondence he true, Prince Bis
narck must have implicitly menaced the
Gar with arguments based upon the eX'
picit engagements of England and Turkey
to support the triple alliance. The pres
cnce Of an English squadron at kiel was
meant to- impress upon the Gar the fact
Of English cooperation, just as Emperor
Williams visit to ConstantinOple marks
he absorption of Turkey into the peace
league Bismarck is represented as ad
vIsing the Gar that, i'll view of this co
alition, what Russia had best to do, il
to accept the policy of cOnCiliation, recog
nize Prince Ferdinand as the ruler OF Bul
garia, and other great powers in etfectlng
a permanent peace program that VIII ul
timately result in decreased armamcnts
and increase the prosperity OF the differ
cnt people. The chancellOr's fidelity to-
ward Austria is not now doubted IL
Vienna official circles. Immediately upor
| his return here Thursday Prince Bis
marck received the Australian embassa
dor. Articles published i'll the othcia
| Abendpost and Fremdenblatt on the fol
lowing day express supreme conhdenc'
chat nothing will be done.
In Berlin, to weaken the mutual ties
the Fremendbatt hopes that the meeting
will have weighty consequences, remove
Misunderstanding about the objects o
the allied powers and induce the Gar t.
assist in giving Europe a sense ofperna
nent security. The official press here re
mains silent on the probable results un
til the Cars departure.
The National Gazette records the i'm
preston OF the highest circles that tn
visit will increase the cordiality of rela
tions between the two monarchs withou
altering the political situation.

The Brown case was called this morn

day, not appearing i'll court, and the
capias having been returned by the
Sheriff not executed, on motion of the
Solicitor, his Honor continued the case
till Monday next, and ordered an alias

ing witness to any and every cOSnty in
the State of North Carolina. His Honor
told the Solicitor that he would give him
all the power of the State to bring this
or any other necessary witness to the
BAR OF the court, and issued an order to
chat effect. His Honor also called up
the officer in charge of the jury and
cautioned him not to talk to the jury
upon any subject whatever, except as to
their comfort, and not to allow any
communication to reach them. Con
siderable excitement prevails.

A somewhat unexpected, but certainly
a very convenient, use of the electric cars
has been found by the frequenters of pub
lie entertainments. The converging point
of the three cars that run from the depot
and up South Main street, up Patton
avenue from Melkc's, and up North Main
street from Doubleday, is in front of the
court house in which is the opera hall.
During the past two nights, during the
representation of the Little Tycoon, all
these cars have come crowded over and
over again; and, at the conclusion, there
are the cars in waiting, to be filled with
ladies and others on their return home
1t is convenience and an accommoda
ton greatly appreciated.

We blended our way to Graniteville, where
halted, dfsmounted and took in grand pic
mic at kerchner's Park. Everybody seemed
to enjoy themselves and everything worked
out peaceable and quiet, and the amuse
ments were kept up until late hour. Mr..
h. informed us his grounds would be open
free to all picnics, and he has beautiful
grounds, well fixed for the business. We
are reliably informed there is to be another
grand picnic at the same place ON the 10th
of August.
Your writer, with several others, attended
a picnic at Black the 9th inst, which was =
grand success in every particular.
The late rains did considerable damage in

the Pacific Express Company that from ana
after the first day of August the Company
would cease delivering packages, and that
they would have to be called for at the office
of destination. Either that, or the consignee
must pay an additional charge for their de-
livery at his home or place of business. This
order is in strict keeping with the practice
of the company ever since it su cceeded In
retiring its rival, the Southern, from the line
of the Iron Mountain Railway: excessive
charges and minimum accommodations. Its
"hogging" proclivities, even for corpora
ton, are phenomenal. First, it raised the
rate per hundred pounds from ninety cents
to one dollar, and played an unprecedented
"skin game" on all smaller packages, max
| ing rules that for their novelty and ingenu-
ity of eXtortion that would demand copy
| right on the first showing. We have neither
desire nor space to enter into the details Of
its methods Of gougIng defenseless public.
Let the people along the line make COM
bine, ask another express company to sta
in under the johnson law, and pledge their
patronage to it for at least year. Let us
circulate petitions in every town on the Iron
Mountain railroad.
We are gratitied to announce that Messrs.
Wallack & Rider drew quite large audience
to the Academy Of Music Oh Monday night
to witness their versatile and pleasing en-
tertainment, and the artists may consider
themselves highJ complimented and fortu-
nate in this heated term to draw anything
approaching satisfactory number of pat
rons to an indoor amusement. The per-
Torrance commenced with a one act society
comedy entitled an" ArIstocratic Flirtation,"
which consisted of smart dialogues, funny
sayings, pleasing little plot and exquisite
costuming. Watty Wallack, although some
what up in years, is lively and vivacious and
an excellent actor. Rider is quaint, good
comedian, and thorough artist. Miss
Blanche is very pretty, young and fine
figure. She very pleasingly personated an
servant maid. An olio followed
the comedy which brought out Messrs. |
Walack and Rider and Miss Blanche, in
original songs and recitations which were |
all honored with encores. The "Widow's |
Victims'concluded a brilliant nights amuse-
ment, and the troupe, now that they have |
made themselves known and appreciated in |
our community, Can always count on an |
audience on re-visiting the city. They leave
to day tor Bismarck where we trust they
will meet with deserved success.
