MOVED OUT THE FURNITURE.
C. D. Smith and Jack Ferre1l Arrested
for Larceny.

G.. D. Smith and Jack Terrell wer @
arrested this morning on a charge of
larceny. The men according to the
story of the crime went to the resi-
dence of W. A. Boight, on Grover
street, a week ago Tuesday night, and
carried away all the furniture in the
house. The owner of the house was at
that time out of the city, and when be
returned he found that every bit of his
clothes and furniture was missing. A
still hunt was at once inaugurated and
a portion of the goods we're found at
the residence of Henry Gerling.
Boight discovered from neighbors that
Smith and Terrell had taken the things
and swore out warrant for their ar
rest. The men have nothing to say
in regard to their taking the goods.
Smith has lived with Boight for over a
year and was we'll acquainted about
the house. The case had a hearing
before Justice Slater this afternoon
and was continued.

AFTER five years of dispute and con-
tention little Hawaii has finally sue
ceeded in breaking through the barra-
cades set up against her by her
opponents and found shelter within
Jurisdiction of the United States. The
date July 6, 1898, will hereafter figure
as one of the most significant in our
history. 1t marks a momentous epoch
in our national growth, the departure
from an old and the adoption of great
new principle; a. principle not the
creation of speculation or experiment,
but the result of development and
evolution.

Rome. Jan. 1.-The sixtieth anniver-
sary of the Pope's first celebration Of
mass was observed at the Vatican to-day.
Fully three thousand delegates from
Catholic societies and Parochial COM
mittees were admitted to the Sala Della
Loggia of the Vatican at $3.50 o'clock
this morning and shortly after that hour,
His Holiness was carried in, on sedia
gestatoria, amid the acclamations & he
spectators. The Pope officiated his
own diamond mass, the music bein ar-
nished by the choir of the Sistine Cha
pei The venerable pontiff then attend
ed mass of thanksgiving, kneeling on
a prie dieu. At the conclusion of this
mass His Holiness, in strong voice pro-
nouneed the papal benediction. He then
took his seat on the throne and received
delegations until 1890 o'clock, when
he was borne out on the sedia gestatoria
amid the acclamations of those present.
His Holiness had most radiant face,
and it was evident that he was enjoying
excellent health. He received hundreds
of rich presents. Emperor Francis
Joseph of Austria-Hungary sent him
$4,000 forms in gold in gold casket
and the Queen regent of Spain sent a
massive gold and jewelled goblet. His
gI- from the United States was dia-
mond cross. President Faure sent six
Sevres vases, and the present from the

The New Year honor list is weak and
decidedly partisan. 1t attracted little
interest from the public, outside of the
knightng of Mr. Thomas j. Upton, the
millionaire provision merchant, whose
knightage establishes the fact that titles
are purchasable, for the honor bestowed
upon him was, of course, due to his gift
of $4,000 pounds sterling ($125,000) to
the Princess of Wales Jubilee fun for
feeding the outcast poor of London.
The annual wild scene of debauchery
welcomed the New Year in London. AS
usual, the precincts of st. Paul's Cathe-
dral were the centre of attraction. About
%, 900 people assembled there. The ma
jority of those present were composed
of West End Dudes, Demi-Mondanes
and Jail-birds, mostly in a drunken CON
dltlon. There was scene of the widest
orgie and Righteousness, swearing, etc,
ugly rushes were frequent and the
thieves reaped rich harvest. The
police were unable to cope with the mob.

--kewsy Briefs.

Scotland Neck, n. c., Jan. 1.-(Spe
ciaI)-One of the leading merchants of
the county said to your correspondent
yesterday that it is quite a mystery to
him, "where so much money has come
from with such low prices for farm pro-
ducts" He said business has not been
what it could have been with better
prices, but it has for surpassed expecta-
tions in the rounding up of the old year.
Scotland Neck starts out with much
brighter prospects for the new year than
was anticipated few weeks ago. The
certainty of a tobacco market for the
next season is still inducing farmers
to make larger preparation for a to-
bacco crop. There have been numbers
of inquiries already about the market
by persons away from here who wish to
come here and open tobacco business.
ne Scotland Neck Telephone Com
pany begins service in the town with the
new year. 1t is already more literally
patronized than the managers anticipat-
ed, and the system can hardly be said
to be fairly at work yet. Several lines
have already been engaged for out of
town points several miles away.
The stock law here is beginning to be
a source of trouble. Capt. w. H.
hitchln has taken up stock from his
fields and proposes to test the law.
Many persons say they will not allow
their crops of grain and other things
to be destroyed by the stock that is out
by reason of the law enacted by the
last Legislature permitting it to be turn
ed out December 25th. Some men have
said that they have supplied themselves
with ammunition and propose to stop
the game pretty soon.
There have been large quantities OF
pork killed I'm this community this sea-
son and still more will be killed.
There are many changes in business
here this year. One of the most i'm
portant is the change of management
of Hotel Lawrence Mr.. G. H. Law
renee, the proprietor, will move to his
home two miles in the country and Mr.
]. -ancoek will be the new proprie-
tor.
The evil doer has been abroad in the
community. George Day, a colored man

door to get off the ear Stockton turned
around and looked him in the face de-
family, that he spoke to him and said:
''Paul you seem to be trying to run a
pretty big bluff on me-" AS soon as the
words were uttered Stockton threw his
hand back and Harrison saw his pistol
