Mr.. r. II. Brimley, curator OF the
state museum, at Raleigh, acknowl-
edges the receipt of the albino coon
recently sent to the state museum by
The Messenger, and says:
Those who have seen it refer to 1t as
a very unique and handsome specimen,
and / know it to be a freak that is very
rare. For myself, and for the directors
of the museum, / beg to offer sincere
thanks for your kind donation. Such
a public spirit as you have manifested
in this respect might secure for the
museum a great many raritieS that We
now, unfortunately, only hear OF when
too late. But / am happy to be able
to say that this is not the first time
that North Carolina newspapers have
remembered the institution in a sub
stantial manner. / will mount the ami
NAL at the earliest possible moment
and attach a card to the effect that
The Messenger is the donor"

Washington, March S.-The senate as
sembled at noon and as soon as Fri
days journal was read a message in
writing from the president of the
United States was presented Mr.. Pru-
den, one of his Secretaries,-the same
gentleman who has been performing
like duties under successive presidents
for many years past.
Among the papers presented by sena-
tors were memorials of the Legislature
of New Mexico asking for certain min
ing legislation by congress, and of the
Legislature of Montana in favor of the
election Of United States senators by
the people and of placing the Union
Pacific railroad system in the hands
and under the control of the govern
ment.
Also, by the vice president, a mem
Orial from the New York chamber Of
commerce favOring the ratification of
the arbitration treaty, and a protest
against the same.
The senate then proceeded to the
consideration of executive business and
at 1 o'clock p. M, adjourned until Wed
nesday.
The message from the president con-
veyed the nomination of Oscar A. Jones
to be pension agent at Detroit--the only
nomination of the day. 1t was confirm
ed in executive session.

The Prize Fighters at Their Work.

Carson, New. March S.-This was a
dismal day in Carson within and with
out. Corbett and FitzsimmOns went
through their regular storm delay pro-
gramme with more or less grumbling
and nothing transpired to create much
excitement.
F'itzsimmons waded through the slush
for an hour or two before noon with a
gun on his shoulder. but found moth
ing to shoot at. He rested for some
time after hearty dinner and did not
appear anxious to work. His wife and
baby arrived this evening, and Bob
was restless all day in anticipation of
the happy meeting. Corbett was not SO
pacific. He lost a close game of hand
ball in the morning, and it seemed TO
nettle him. He started out for his
afternoons work like hired man who
had not been paid his wages for six
months. The punching bag did not
hang to suit him and he thumped 1t so
hard that the valve stop flew Off and
into the gutter and the rope snapped.
none OF those who were present at this
display Of irritation went away with
any doubt in their minds as to Jim's
hitting ability.
The semi-weekly messenger., 1897-03-12

Richmond, Va, March 8.-A Danville
special to The Dispatch says a serious
burt not fatal shooting affair occurred
early this morning at the corner OF
Pickett and Henry streets, North Dan
Vile, in which Bruce T. Adams, a
young married man. was shot three
times by Wallace Riley. Both the par
ties are white operatives OF the River
side mills. The two men met this
morning, and, as the result of a quar-
TEL, in which a woman is said to be
concerned. Adams, it is alleged, attack,
ed Riley, knocking him down. Riley
theTeupon drew a. 32-calibre revolver
and fired four shots at Adams in rapid
succession and at close range One bull
let entered the right breast and passed
out under the arm; another passed
Through the left thigh, the third en-
tered the left hand and the fourth
punct 1red Adams coat None of the
wounds are dangerous. The merits Of
the controversy have not yet been
made known. Riley is out under 5000

Greece Declines to Evacuate Crete.

Athens, March 8.-NoOn. othine
more than a summary of the Ceply OF
Greece to the ultianatum OF the powers
is obtainable up to this hour. but the
following is a. correct outline of the let
ter as delivered to the foreign repre-
sentatives today:
The note says that Greece, in con-
forming to the wishes of the powers.
recommended that the Cretans accept
certain reforms, but the Moslems rem
dered their reforms impossible, and
Greece was, therefore, obliged to In
tervene to protect a sister nation.
An autoninIous administration for
the island, the note says, does not con-
stitute a solution Of the difficulty and
the Cretans reject it. Greece, the note
says in conclusion, is willing to accept
the decision of the Cretans as to
whether they desire autonomy Or an
nexation. The recall of the Greek fleet
and troops would be a signal for fur
ther excesses in the island, in the face
of which Greeks could not remain in
active. Therefore, the recall Of the
fleet and troops is impossible.
Rome, March SIT is semi-offcially
announced that owing to the adverse
reply of Greece to the demands of the
powers, the latter will at once with
draw their minister from Athens.

Dreme Court

Washington, March S.-The final for
mality in connection with the induc-
ton into office of Attorney General Nc
Kenna was observed in the supreme
court of the United States. After the
decision and orders of the court had

sent my successor, the Hon. JoSeph Nc
Kenna, of California. / have here his

law, and ask that it be spread of rec
ord"
Chief Justice Fuller bowed in a gra-
ciOus manner to the retiring attorney
general and the new official and said:
THE court extends it's welcome to the
new attorney general and at the same
time expresses its high regard for and
best wishes to his predecessor" (To
Clerk NICK kenny) Let the commission

Marvellous Results

From a letter written by Rev j. Gum
derman, Of Dimondale, Mich, we are
permitted to make this extract: II
have no hesitation in recommending
DR.. Kings New Discovery, as the re-
suits were almost marvellous in the
case of my wife. While / was pastor
of the Baptist Church at Rives juno
t,on she was brought down with Pneu-
monia succeeding La Grippe. Terrible
paroxysms Of coughing would last for
hours with little interruption and it
seemed as If she could not survive
them. A friend recommended DR.
Kings New Discovery; 1t was quick in
its work and highly satisfactory in re-
suits" Trial bottles free at r. r. Bel

Your correspondent asked Governor
Russell this afternoon what he thought
of the action of the house this after
noon in tabiing the lease bill. He re-
piled: 1T means that corporations
could not entirely run this Legislature,
and that the people VIII settle with
them in 1898, and that in the meantime
they may hear something from .iive
gentlemen just across the street
(pointing to the supreme court room).
all of whom are. in my opinion, in
trepid judges and not chattel slaves of
money kings"
Colonel Andrews declined to express
an opinion, but his beaming smile was
answer enough. He is delighted. a
leading lawyer here says the Southern
railway wins because legislation was
attempted by the governor and failed.
The editor of The Tribune says that
if the governor fails in an attempt he
will make to get a resolution passed
allowing the attorney general to bring
suit he will be in hole out of which
he can't climb.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by. constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in.
famed condition Of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inhamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out OF ten are caused by catarrh, ,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case Of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cam
not be cured by Hall Catarrh Cure. Send for

Two Alarms of Fire,

The alarm of fire on Sunday morning
was on account OF the burning out of a
chimney. There was no fire.
Yesterday morning at $40 O'Clock
an alarm was sent in from box SO, and
was on account Of the burning of a
small one-story frame house on Thir-
teenth street, between Dock and
orange streets, owned by Colonel
Roger Moore and occupied by a colored
FAMILY. The fire caught from fire in
the fireplace, and the house was totally
destroyed. IT, '-ss will be about $50

Little else was talked about here yes
terdav except the deadlock in the
house on the railway lease bill. The
general public was disgusted with the
proceedings. particularly the arbitrary
rulings OF the men who occupied the
speakers chair A few Of the members
of the minority declared that nd;ing
was too extreme Some Of the minor
ity were disgusted at the 'rankness"
of the decisions. The majority were a
unit in denouncing what was done as
a high handed outrage. They said the
real speaker CHileman) though clearly
in entire sympathy with the minority
would not have made such unparalleled
decision and rulings.
The strangest of all the rulings was
that after a motion To adjourn, made
by a minority man, and on which the
yeas and nays were invariably demand
ed, a motion TO reconsider the motion
to adjourn was allowable and was ue-
batable. Then came the yeas and nays
again on the motion to reconsider or
course motions to adjourn and motions
to reconsider were each time voted
down, the majority having thirteen ma
jority But strangest Of all the rulings
was the one that this motion To recon
slider the vote to adjourn was new
business" which therefore permitted
fresh motion to adjourn.
The men in the chair would recognize
no member Of the majority to make
anv motion whatever except at mid
night Saturday night, to move TO ad-
iourn until 10 O'Clock this morning.
Yesterday afternoon some republicans
called on Speaker Hileman and told
him he must be in his chair today or
else run the risk OF impeachment. he
said he was sick and was threatened
with penumonia. This morning early
he said he expected to have to go To the
hospital. But Saturday afternoon and
evening he was several times IN the
governors office. and il was in the lat
ter that the entire plan to defeat the
majority of the house was concocted.
There are several sneak bills which
have in some way worked through the
legislature. Your correspondent found
one yesterday. 1t was To appropriate
So 600 to the Rolling eNposition'-
North Carolina on wheels" When that
bill was before the house an amend
ment was adopted providing that there
be no cost to the state. This amend
has been cut from the bill.
A little snow fell here yesterday
Many kinds Of flowers are in bloom and
trees are budding.
