Tilted Him at the Altar.

At Grand Rapids, Michigan, last
week the city was excited over
the issuing of a license to james
Hurst, a white man, with considera-
bie property and four children, to
Mary Angelina Johnson, a colored
woman. When the wedding guests
assembled in the parlors last night
the presents were spread out On a ta-
ble and the groom waited in the par
lor with the minister Angles foot
steps were heard ascending the
stairs. Some one told her she was
wanted In n rear room, and she went
there to find James Russell, colored,
an old fame, who had been thrown
over for Hurst.
He urged her not to throw herself
away on any poor white trash, but
to marry him. Angles heart soften
ed, and she told Russell to come long
and they would be married by the
minister Hurst had hired. When
Angie appeared leaning on the arm
of Russell the guests were surprised.
She announced:
"Dar'll be wedding here tonight,
people, but Jim Hurst won't be dt
groom. Mr.. Russell and | will be
married. 1 don't want any white
trash husband"
Hurst said he would not pay the
minister, and the party broke up, the
guests carrying away the presents
they had brought. Hurst tried to
get at Russell to thrash him, but was
held back by his friends. Hurst has

suPT. FINGERS REPORT.
He Declares That the Tax for Public
Schools is Insufficient.


The biennial report Of S. NJ. Fin
gel, State superintendent of Public
Instruction, is an admirable docu-
ment. Maj. Finger, in its very first
paragraph, says: l desire to say,
with as much emphasis as possible,
that our schools, save in a few of the
cities. are not satisfactory to any
class of our citizens. AS everywhere
we have in North Carolina people
who either want NO public schools or
if any, only sort of charity school
for the poor. For such people we
have already too much tax for public
schools. We have also many people,
and the number is rapidly increasing.
who believe in liberal education for
all the people for the peoples bene-
fit and for the safety of the State.
To such people, many of whom are
entirely dependent upon the public
schools for the education of their
children, the schools are unsatisfac-
tory because of the small amount of
money applied and the consequent
shOrtness of annual terms and want
of proper qualifications on the part
of many teachers. 1t is not my pur-
pose to under rate the good the pub
lie schools are doing. / wish to bear
testimony to the fact that they are
doing much good that there is con
tinued improvement in the teachers
and public sentiment, but it is simply
idle to expect satisfactory schools
with our average annual terms of
sixty days. and with an expenditure
of money amounting to A cents on
each of the federal population (each
man, woman and child) and only
81. % on each of the school popula
ton. from six to twelve wears of age.

The newspaper is the only institu-
tion that goes abroad to show itself
and speak for it's locality. The lands
may be as fertile us the Garden of
Hesperides, the mines maybe rich,
the timber valuable, the water pure
and the climate delightful. but all of
them must wait for people to come
along and recognize the truth. The
newspaper, on the contrary, passes
through the mails and visits the
great business centres where there is
money to do with. II the paper is
prosperous-lookiDg, well edited and

An Attorney Generals Mistake.

The Hon, Y. J. Pope, of Columbia.
S. c., the new Attorney General of
South Carolina, finds himself in an
awkard position. Yesterday he dis
charged clerk in the Judiciary De-
partment, but in his letter of dismiss
sal testified to his worth and efficien-
cy, L. B. Butler, the dismissed clerk,
then asked for Gen. Pope's reasons
He replied that it was a duty he owed
to the State, as Butler voted for
Haskell at the recent election. A
lawyer to-day discovered in the gen.
eral statutes of the State that the
discharge of any person for political
reasons was punishable by a fine of
not less than $40 nor more than
$1,000 and Imprisonment not less
than three nor more than twelve
months. A warrant may be issued
for the arrest of the Attorney-Gen-
eral.

TOR his people. The letter is written
from the county of Donegal, Ire

one to eat in month and they are
not fit for human food. 1t pleaded

Mr. O'Dunnell has volunteered to

BANKER DITMAN'S DEATH.
The Coroner's jury in the case of
Joseph &. Ditman, the Philadelphia
banker, who so mysteriously disappear
ed OH December II and whose body was
found floating in the Schuylkill River,
on January 26, returned a verdict, on
Monday afternoon that Mr.. Ditman
came to his death by accidental drown
ing, notwithstanding the fact that the
Coroner's physician testified that his
autopsy led him to believe that the
deceased had committed suicide by
drowning.
The abrasions on the body were re-
ceived, in the opinion of the physician,
after death. The lungs we're congested
there was nothing in the windpipe, and
it was evident from this, he said, that
the drowning was in deep water.
Mr.. Ditman's horse and carriage
were found on the night of his disap-
pearance, and the theory of his rela-
tives has been that he was thrown from
his carriage into the edge of the river,
and striking his head on stone, was
rendered unconscious and drowned.
The payment of about $4,000 accident
insurance hinges on the determination
of the cause of death-whether accident
or suicide.

compelled to present ru,ss 1or The guild
ance Of the House In this effort, so
long as it remaius legitimate in its con-
duct, the Democrats viii meet with
large amount Of sympathy from bust
ness men throughout the country who
desire to see legislation actually i'll
motion.
In the meantime the Republicans
are to-day making strenuous efforts to
secure quorum of their own members
in the House to dispose Of the pending
election cases. Saturdays rate showed
a strength of 1853, or two less than Il
Republican quorum. In the morning
Mr.. O'Donnell turned up and it was
thought that, with the vote of the
Speaker, the party in power would
have the necessary 1865. 1t was dis
covered to their sorrow, however, that
Representative Neidringhaus, the gen
tleman with the strange and wonderful
biography in the Congressional Record,
had slipped off to New York. He was
telegraphed for. Meanwhile, Mr.
Rockwell, of Massachusetts, sent word
that although he was i'll he would
come if absolutely necessary. The
other absentees are Mr. WILDER, of New
York, whose severe illness, places his
attendance out of the question, and
Mr.. Caswell, whose wife died on Fri
day, but who will nevertheless be here
tomorrow.
The society columns of the local
papers are just now torn up over a
fashionable affair that theatres the
social fabric of the administration. A
granddaughter of John Wanamaker,
described as very precocious and en-
trancingly beautiful at the mature age
of three years and three mouths, was
introduced to that gay young rake,
"Baby" Mckee, last week. The blood
of the spectators was fairly frozen by
the chilly reception given him by the
Philadelphia prude, who warmly re-
sented the princes advances. Even
now, after several TRADES, she cannot
abide him, and cries to him to go
away, nasty thing" whenever he
is in the room And all this
the local Jenkina grandly relates, as
if it were an occurrence of importance.
The journalists under the last Napo-
leon, were paid-for ascribing pictures
to his young prince when he was but
seven years Of age, but inasmuch as
President Harrison is not paying for
this stuff by the yard, the reader might
be spared.
Senator Farwell did not openly OPP
pose the appointment of Mr.. Clarkson
as Collector of the port of Chicago
when the case was reached, but his
bitterness against the administration is
still very marked. He says that he
believes he could have prevented the
nomination had he tried, but that it
would have awaited nothing. He adds
that in making the nomination the
President deliberately disregarded the
wishes of the entire Illinois delegation,
and probably intended it as an affront."
