COLONIAL K ELICS.

The Colonial Committee of
the Board Of Woman Managers
for the Cotton States and Inter
national Exposition is gathering
many rare and interesting relics
of Colonial and Revolutionary
days. These exhibits will be, in
most cases, loaned by private in
dividuals throughout the Union.
From their nature, these relics
are not for sale, and in many ln>
stances have never been on ex-
hibition before. Among others,
will be a desk owned by George
Washington, and now in the pos
session of a private citizen. This
collection of colonial relics will
be one of the most interesting
ever seen in America.

A BAND OF BURGLARS,

Billy Williams a noted crook
arrested at WashingtonCity some

berry, has made a confession to
District Attorney Birney, which

dered, robbed and waylaid, and
even went so far as to plan for
the murder of Sergeant John c..

history For many years it was

wholesale massacre of whites at

FIRE AT WEST NORFOLK,
THE ATLANTIC AND DANVILLE
RAILROAD PROPERTY BURNED,
WITH \ LOSS OF 100000.

/ Saturday morning about els
o'clock a disastrous FIRE broke
out i'll the old warehouse of the
Atlantic and Danville Railroad
Company, at West Norfolk, and
as there were no facilities what
ever for fighting the flames, the
whole property was soon burn
ing turiously. The old ware
house is about so by Is feet
long, and close by was the new
house, 900 feet by 100 feet, just
completed, to which the fire
spread aud entirely consumed it.
BY this time the whole ncigh>
borhood was aroused, but not a
bucket could be found to carry
water in, and those who were
willing to assist were compelled
to stand and see the destroyer do
its work. There was a train of
nine loaded box cars OH the
track near the warehouses, and
these, with their contents of 10
cal freight and guano, were
burned. There were two rails
road barges tied to the wharf, but
they were not noticed until the
fire cut off the approach to them,
and these two were burned to
the waters edge. A bucket
brigade could have saved the en-,
tire property, but unfortunately
none was at hand, and the loss
from this oversight will reach
about 500, 900, on which there is
only a partial insurance. The
fire originated i'll a room used by
the hands while waiting for
trains, the stovepipe running
through the roof. There was
no one to watch the fire last
night, and the pipe set fire to
the wood work.
The tug Sallie, i'll command of
Capt. Martin Huntley, made an
effort to save two Of the Atlantic
and Danville transfer barges, but
only succeeded in getting one to
a place of safety. The cover to
the one saved was burned, but
the fire was soon extinquished
by a stream from the tug

COMING BACK TO THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

1t is reported that many of the
Populists of North Carolina are
coming back to the Democracy
and are shedding their Populistic
heresy as fast as they can. They
realize what an awful mess the
fusion Legislature made of their
State and they are heartily tired
of that sort of politics. What a
pity it is that good men will al
low themselves to be led off into
these by~ways of politics to find
out too late the fatal error of
their action. There is one thing
that all Democratic people should
bear in mind. If they do not get
good government under the prin-
cipals of Democracy it. is the
fault of the men who control and
not of the party itself. Those
who are false to the principles of
Democracy and betray it for sell
fish ends should be cast out.
They should be made to obey
the dictates of sound policy and
to learn that those who under~
take to prostitute a noble party to
base and unpatriotic purposes
must fail-they may prosper for
a season, but i'll a little time their
schemes must come to naught.-

A MYSTERIOUS POND
LUNAR ECLIPSE DRIED IT. UP AND ON ST.
PATRICH'S DAY ALI, THE FISH LEFT.

Near Logansport, Ind, there
stands a small body of water
commonly known as "Palmers S
Pond Many peculiar and in
teresting phenomena are related
Of it. On the night of the moon S
eclipse, March IS, the pond, in
which usually from five to fifteen
feet of water stands, went con-
pletely dry.
Several families who lived
nearby and had certain knowl ,
edge that the pond had been full
the evening before were greatly
astonished by the occurrence and
hastened to relate the news to
their neighbors. Many came .ld
inspected the bare bed that day,
but those who delayed their vis~
it until the day following were
disappointed, for that night the
pond resumed its usual fulness.
Those who viewed the basin
during its empty condition saw
nothing in the shape of a fssure
or outlet of any kind neither
was there any spring apparent
whereby the pond might be fill
ed again.
The only theory advanced is
the possible effect of the moon
influence. In support of this
theory it is said that about TWEEN
ty-eight years ago the pond was
observed to go dry under precise.
ly similar circumstances. With
these two exceptions it has al
ways been one of the most stable
and constant bodies of water ii
the locality. Through the wors
of droughts it has maintained (
constant depth OF never less thar
five feet, which in the spring
and fall is frequently increasee
to fifteen feet.

told Of Palmer's Pond it is sait
that on St. Patrick's Day, ISz ;
