LOCAL BRIEFS.

Mss Rena Massey, of this
city, left Saturday for Pikeville,
TO visit friends.
Mrs. John E. Crow is on an
extended visit to relatives in
the Eastern part of the State.
Mr.. E. B. Herring, Jr., and
sister Miss Annie, of >Duplln
county, are visiting friends in this
city.
Miss Julia Edgerton, of the
Pinkney section, is in the city,
visiting her cousin, Miss Efic
Davis.
Mr.. and Mrs, w. c. Hall and
children, of Washington. d. c.,
are spending some time in the
city, the guests of the Hotel Ken-
non.
THE death of the infant son of
Mr., and Mrs. G. w. Thompson
occurred at their home in this city
Friday night and the interment was
made in Willow Dale Cemetery
this morning at 10 O'Clock.
The report comes from Wood
land that Mr. Barney Perkins is
conducting series of revival
meetings at that place, which are
attended by large crowds daily
and much interest is being mani
tested.
WHILE asleep on FIR day at the
electric light station in this city
MIR. F. NJ. Caldwell, the engi
neer aud electrician, had $40 90
in money stolen from his pants
pockets. Suspicion resis on
some colored boys, who were at
the station at the time, and they
have been locked up to await
trial.
Mr. W. A. Denmark, the eff
cient tax collector of Goldsboro
township, requests the ARGUS to
state that he will be in the court
house every day this week from
pa. m. until 4 p. m. and that
those who wish to avoid paying
costs had better see him at once
and settle their Indebtedness to
the State and county.
For the information of the
many who make inquiries daily
Capt W. FL. Jenkins, the engineer
of the shifting engine on the W.
& w, r. R., requests The ARGUS
to state that the bell on his engine
is broken. Without wishing the
Southern Railway any serious
damage there are great many
people that reside in the locality
who would like to see the same
mishap befall the bell that is run
by air on one of their engines, and
which is continually ringing from
the first appearance of day light
In the morn until the hours have
passed when people should be
asleep.
AT meeting Of commits ee
representing the Southern Rail-
way Company and the Street
com mittee of Goldsboro held
on Friday, an agreement VIZ s
reached between the two to de-
fray equally the expenses Of put
ting in a brick sewer on the west
side of the railroad from Mr., I.
r, Fonvielle's corner to the
Southern end Of the city. The
high embankment that has been
an eyesore to the residents in
that part CT the city for the last
quarter of a century is to be cut
down and the street N ade to pre-
sent less dangerous appear
ance. This action on the part of
the railroad and city authorities
will meet the approval of all our
citizens and will make an i'm
prov ement that has been needed
for years.

MACEO WAS KILLED.
Reports of the Death of the Gu
ban Leader Confirmed.

Havana. December 11.-Dr.
| Maxine Zertucha, formerly the
physician of Antonio Maceo,
who, after the death of Maceo
surrendered to Gen. Tort at San
Felipe, has been interviewed by
| reporters at La Lucha, one of the
leading newspapers of this city.
DIR. Zertucha says that Macee
intended to attempt to cross the
trocha on December Sd, but was
prevented by sickness from do
ing soon the next day, however,
it Was announced that he would
not march across the trocha with
his men, but would go by water
around the end of the trocha and
meet an insurgent force on the
Havana side of the line. Two
boats were accordingly painted
black and the oars vera muff1ed.
At night Maceo and twenty six
men embarked in the boats and
passed in front of the town of
Mariel, at the northern extrem>
ity of the western trocha, with
out being seen by any of the
Spanish sentries. The rebel
leader Myro and seeeral other
commanders of rebel bands ac-
companied Maceo. The rebel
party landed at the point selects
ed without being discovered.
When, on December the 4th,
the eng sgement took place be.
t veen the rebels and M ,r Cru
judas command, Maceo was en-
camped with 1000 men. When
the Spanish forces appeared, Mas
GEO divided his men into two
wings, his intention being to sur
round the Spanish column. He
remained alone with his staff for
a moment, watching the fighting
ana exclaimed: This goes we'll. -
Shortly afterward he was bit by
two bullets, one striking him on
the chin, breaking his jaw and
passing out at the junction of the
neck and shoulder, and the other
stricking him in the abdomen.
Either wound would have caused
death, and the rebel leader ex-
| pired in a short time.
| The rebels, who were fighting
desperately against the Spanist
attack, were panic stricken wher
they heard of the death of their
chief. They f,d in disorder, no
making any attempt then to take
Maceo's body with them.
| Philadelphia, December IL
Very little doubt exist in Cubar
circles in this city of the deatl
of Antonio Maceo, the Cubar
leader. News came to hand to
day from private sources i
which it is acknowledged that NJ
further doubt Of Maceo's deatl
can exist. This information come:
directly from Cuban agents OF
the island, aud is intended to fin
ish the uncertainty in the mind
of The Cubans resident here. I
was characterized as being en-
tirely authentic and as making
an end OF any possibility that tn
Iaccounts Of the Generals tragi
end could be untrue.

U, S. DISTRICT COURT.
Timber Trcspass Case ON Trial-In-
teresting Question as to Meaning
Of "-Peraita- Reayis
Cases Will he Tried in
May.

The trial of S. l.. Bachelor, charged
with timber trespass, continues to oc-
cupy the attention of the United States
district court, Messrs. Hemingway and
Jones representing the government and
Messrs. Spiess and John H. Kaaebel the
defendant. The timber cut was for rail-
road building under laws granting tim
Der, earth, stone, ETC., adjacent" to rail-
roads for construction purposes, and an
interesting question has arisen as to the
legal definition of the word "adjacent."
As this question has an important bear
ing upon this as we'll as the other timber
trespass cases pending, Judge Laughlin
has prepared written instructions on the
same, which we're submitted to the jury
at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
The grand jury reported nine more
true bills this morning, including two
more against James Addison Peralta'
Reavis, and the grand jury was dis
charged with the thanks of the court foi
its industry and vigilance.
Peralta-Reav will plead this after
noon, but by agreement of counsel he
will not be tried until the next term o.
the q. s. court, which will open the las
week in May.

A Musical Attraction.

Of the musical attraction to appear at
at the court house Tomorrow night un-
the auspices of the Woman's Board OF
Trade, an Emporia, Kas., paper says:
"It has been long time since the peo-
pie of Emporia have listened to such
music as was furnished last night at Mu-
sic hall by the Chicago Lady Quartette,
Mics Nettie NJ. jackson, reader.
"The program consisted mostly OF
music popular rather than classic, and
that every part, song and solo, was en-
cored bespoke the appreciation of the
audience. Their voices are unusually
pure and sweet and range from the clear,
high soprano of Miss Hodson to the re-
markably deep, resonant tones OF Mrs
RAYMOND and each blending with the
others in perfect harmony.
"The reader, Miss Jackson, is rightly
called the queen of imrersonators. She
has m unusually expressive face which
adds much to the effect of piece. Her
last number, "But Them" was encored, as
was the case with all the others, and she
responded with selection; this, too, was
encored and she gracefully bowed her
acknowledgement, but the audience de-
manded for the third time another "piece''
and she gave decidedly humorous
one.
"The company is the finest that ever
visited this city and their program Of
twelve numbers was more than doubled
by encores."
