man.
Two hundred and seventy
towns given Powers So, 661;

Figures from the First dis
trict for Congressman IRE not
yet complete, but SO far as re.
ceived indicate that Thomas
B. Reed has 1000 plurality or
more over Staples, Democrat,
This is a gain Of over 5000, and
probably the gain will grow lar
ger as the figures come in.
It still looks like $4,000 plu-
rality for the Republican State
ticket.
Lewiston, Me-, Sept. IA
Congressman Dingley estimates
his majority about &c, 1000
The average estimate of the
Republican plurality for Cover
nor was %, 900 to 90, 900, as com.
pared with about 38,017 in 1894
and IL, SOB in 1892, but the vote
to-day throughout the State was
larger than anticipated, and the
plurality of Powers, the Repub'
lican. is larger than the most en-
thuasiastic Republican ever
dared predict, the latest returns
indicating that it will reach
nearly so. 1000.
In nearly every county the Of
icers are Republican by much
larger majorities than ever be
fore known, and in some coun-
ties no candidates were put in
the field by the Democrats.
In all four of the Congressional.
districts the incumbents were re-
elected with increased plurali-
les. In the First district Reeds
plurality will be something over
10, 900, as against 8,185 two
years ago, while Congressmer
Dingley, Millekin and Boutelle
will go back to the next Congress
with a much larger vote thar
two years ago. The Legislature
will contain but few Democrats

JAKE KILRAIN.
The Champion Knocked out by sIa'
win in the First Round.

Baltimore, September IA Ex-
Champion Jake Kiirain was
knocked out by Frank +. Slavin
at the Eureka Club tonight. The
Baltimore heavy weight was
little better than a punching>bag
for the Australian and it took
him but two and a quarter min
utes to put the ex>champion out.
Kilrain was very fat, and it
was evident when he appeared
in the ring that he was in no con-
dition to meet Slavin, who was
trained to the hour. Kilrain's
weight was announced to be 21C
pounds, but he looked at least
fifteen pounds heavier. Slavin
weighed 1914 pounds.

As is known everywhere, Hon.
w. j, Bryan, Democratic candi-
date for President of the United
States, will speak in Goldsboro at
9 o'clock on Friday morning of
this week. September IS, and the
occasion will be greeted by one of
the largest assemblages of voters
ever gathered together, doubtless.
in North Carolina.
They are coming from all over
the State, but by hundreds and
thousands from all sections of
eastern, southern and middle
North Carolina from the far
famed Cape Fear, from where it
takes it's rise in the hills on down
to where it glides into the arms of
the bridegroom sea-; from the
islands and shores of the Atlantic
in the East on through and ronnd
to where the Neuse, the Tar and
the Roanoke "roll rapidly their
winding lengths to the sound
waters that receive them.
Throughout all this widespread
territory and more = the re-
nown of Goldsboro has gone forth
as 'FThe Best Town in the State"
Mr.. Bryan, himself, doubtless,
has heard of us as such, together
with the retinue of distinguished
men who accompany him on his
tour. 1t behooves Goldsboro,
therefore, to put her best foot
foremost for Fridays celebration.
Every store and building and resi-
dence along all the public squares,
at least, should be decorated elab-.
orately, and preparation for the
work should begin NOW and be
fully completed by Thursday night
at latest.
These decorations should be the
test Of public spirit, not alone in
honor of Mr.. Bryan, but also to
edo Goldsboro proud'' in the eyes
of the assembled thousands who
will throng our city on that day
and carry away from here the re-
membrance of a lifetime. 1t is
Goldsporo's peerless opportunity
and she should take advantage OF
it to the uttermost-and we T
quite sure she will.
AT the Democratic club meet
ing last night all necessary COM
mittees were Approximation nu-
merous to mention-and the work
of getting the town in shape for
the reception and the entertain
ment of Mr. Bryan.
1t is expected that not less than
25, 600 people, probably SO, 900,
will greet Mr.. Bryan here on
Friday morning.
Special trains will be run from
Morehead, Wilmington, and other
roads centering here.
Mr.. Bryan will arrive at II
o'clock Thursday night from Ra-
leigh, on a special train.

IT is written in the Book of
Fate that W. j. Bryan is to be
elected President of the United
States on the Sd day of November
next. Never before have we seen
the indications SO clear as to what
would be the result of a presi-
Dental election. Never before
have we seen the voters them
selves so deeply interested in a
pending campaign. Never before
have we seen the people generally,
voters OF not voters, manifest so
Enthusiastically their concern as
members of the body polite. The
fact is, that the Mckinley COM
bination cannot be boosted into
the highest office in the republic
without at the same time incur
ring a long future for the Repub-
lican party-a party which no
Southern man ought to be found
supporting. Never before, in a
word, have the Democrats had
such plain sailing. All they have
to do between now and election
day is to stand firm. The stars
nj their curses are fighting for

ton, he gave up immediately. Consump-
ton was considered a necessarily fatal dis
ease. TWAS considered incurable. AS soon
as it developed enough so that a physician
could decide that it was really consumption.
the patient was considered as good as dead.
Years ago, DR.. Pierce found out that con-
sumption was not incurab1e, that it was not
necessarily fatal. He not only found this
out, but he found out a way to cure con-
sumption. He introduced his Golden
Medical Discovery" The Discovery"
will cure % per cent. of ali cases of con.
sumption if it is taken according to direc-
tons. Consumption is a disease of the
blood. 1t is caused by impoverishluent of
the blood, and by he existence of disease
germs in the system. If the body is per.
fectly strong and healthy, and the blood
perfectly pure, germs are easily thrown Of.
If the body is weak, if the tissues are IN.
capable of much resistance, the germs find
a resting place and develop. That's the
way consumption begins.
The Golden Medical Discovery"
searches out the germs, forces them out
of the system and cures consumption and
other kindred diseases of the throat, bron.
CHA and lungs. No doubt about it, no cues.
ton about it: It has done it in hundreds
and thousands of cases. The Discovery"

has been given to sweat shops
where starvation wages are paid
and where labor is seen in it's

dition. The best wages paid for
work on these Bibles was so cts.

VERY little progress has been
made so far on the criminal docket
of the Superior Court this week.
All yesterday afternoon and
this morning was occupied
by the case of Allen Earle, col-
ored, against Ohe Hicks, in which
the latter is accused of shooting
the former from ambush. The
trial was finished and given to
jury at IL o'clock. but no verdict
has been rendered yet.
The case was brought over from
the last term and there we're
great number of witnesses.
The session this afternoon has
been taken up with another shoot
ing affair. William Jennette is
accused of shooting at random,
while drinking, and of aiming at
and shooting near Mrs. Nancy
Lane, who was standing in her
window near by. The defendant
is also accused of threatening the
life of William Lane, the husband
of the woman at which he was
shooting. On account of the large
number of witnesses to testify, it
is probable that the case will not
be given to the jury before to-
morrow morning,
The case of Nat Moore, the
wife murderer, beyond a doubt
the most interesting that will
come up at this term of court
has been set for next Monday
afternoon at 1:30 o'clock.
A special venir of 200 mer
was ordered by the Court to-day
from which to select a jury Of
twelve to sit in Judgment ano
decide whether or not the

An italian invoices the Law to Find the

Eff1rts Successful.

An Italian InvOkes the Law to Find the
Mother of His Unweaned Chid-HiN
Efforts Successful.
An Italian named Furell called at
police headquarters yesterday after
noon to secure the cooperation of the
department in finding his Wife. Mary,
who, he said, had left him and their
unweaned baby Furell had the child
with him and it presented a pitiful APP
pearance. This was explained by the
man saying that the child had been
without food for rty-eight hours.
Furell and the woman he says is his
wife live at 244 Wallace street and he
has been employed at the Candee Rub
Der factory for several months, COM
ing here from New York. The woman
was arrested for drunkenness on Fri
day evening, but was discharged on
Saturday morning with a reprimand,
as 1t was not q court case"
According to FurelPs story she did
not return to her home but abandoned
him and the child. He waited for her
return all day Saturday and yesterday
until the child became so hungry and
disconsolate that he could do nothing to
soothe it. The fellow was almost be-
side himself when he entered the police
headquarters bearing the little one in
his arms. Furell himself is a cripple
and the child is deformed. He told the
sergeant that he did not care anything
about his wife, but he could not take
care of the baby. If she would come
back long enough to take it with her
she might go. He thought that she
would take the Starin line for New
York last night and he would like the
police to capture her.
Fureil took up his watch early in the
evening near the Starin's dock and his
efforts were rewarded later as the wo-
man was seen by him coming to the
boat With the assistance of the pa
trolman he succeeded in getting her to
return to his home.
