A FORWARD MOVEMENT.

The DAILY STATE CHRONICLE is no ex.
pertinent. 1t is just one year and one
month old, and in that short space of
time it has made record unprccedent
cd in the history of daily journalism in
North Carolina. 10 day il has the lar
gest circulation of any daily newspaper
published III the S'ate, aud il is daily ad-
ding to itS subscription list.
The growing patronage Of the paper
makes il necessary that it be enlarged
aSd otherwise improved, aud we have
given the orders necessary to make this
enlargement aud improvement in the
paper, and just as soon as the type
founders can fll our order, the DAILY
STATE CHRONICLE will be issued in new
spring dress aui in handsome form.
And not only will the paper be
larger aud handsomer, Tut it will have
n news and telegraph service not sur
passed by any pauer in the South, and
will be in all respects such newspaper
as the whole State will be proud of, and
rs will ref ct credit upon the city o.
Raleigh and the State as we'll.
1t is with peculiar pleasure that VIZ
make this announcement, and we onl,
regret that a few weeks must elapse be
fore these Improvements can be per
fccted and the paper go out to its $50
subscribers every day as a thing Q
beauty and as bright ctronicler G
the progress and prosperity of tie State
gt has been the ambition Of the editor
since long before he attained his major
ity,topu0lish such paper at the Capita
Of his native State. He hopes and believe
that the enterprise of the paper will be al
precAtod, aud that instead of $500 sui
scribers, 1000 wideawake North Care
liniaus will read it every day.
The CHRONICLE will ever strive to lea
the procession in every legitimate d
partment of progressive journalism.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 1s.-From the
effects of poison taken in some myster;.
Gus manner at the Snooks Herr weddino
at the residence of Mr.. Albert Herr at
Lyndon Wednesday evening, Mr. R
Frank Guthrie, one of the wealthjest
and best known residents of Louisville
died this morning at his residence. 92s

Mrs. Guthrie and her sister. Mrs
Robert Gray, are down as victims of the
same poison.
DR.. J. w. Irwin and Mr.. Tnrner
Anderson, who are attending several of
the patients, are confident that all are
suffering from arsenical poisoning and
they believe that the drug was put in the
coffee at the wedding dinner for the
purpose of killing some one. Every
symptom of the sufferers indicates
arsenic, and if the physicians are cor
rect in their diagnosis most diabolical
crime has been committed.
By whom such an act could have been
committed has not even been coniectur
ed. That such thing could have been
an accident, is impossible, as there was
no arsenic about the place The condi
tion of Mr.. J. 81. Sutchife's daughter
and Miss Susie Herr is alarming. Their
bowels and stomach are very much in
famed.
The Rev. T. 7. Martin, who perform
edithe ceremony, is in very critical con
dition. Of the eight guests who are at
Mr.. Herr's house, they are all very i'll.
