New orIeans Tramp Holds the Record

4 New Orleans Tramp Holds the Record
 for Ease.
 At about noon q fat and healthy looking but phenomenally tattered. tramp sat furtively dozing on bench in Lafayette square, says the New Or leans Times-Democrat The nearby tablet of the goedetic survey an- nounced that ae was in exactly lati- tude 20 degrees 56 minutes 59 seconds and longitude 90 degrees minutes seconds, but the fact disturbed him not. Leaning back luxuriously, he aD- peared to be bursting from every seam of his dilapidatod attire, and as he passed in and out of cat maps he nodded solemnly, like 8 porcelain man. darin. His legs were crossed and his suspended foot was ineased in a shoe from which most of the forward DOT tion of the sole was missing, exposing his bare and dirty toes from below. It was held to his foot by a string tied around his instep; in fact, he was lit erally Ion his uppers, circumstance which bothered him as little as the
 
 his waking intervals, be espied a half smoked cigar stump lying on the pave ment about a yard from the bench. For a moment he surveyed it calmly, dispassionately, almost judicially. Then he executed a remarkable strat- egic movement. Without stirring the upper portion of his body, he slowly uncrossed his legs, lowered his foot accurately and deliberately over the treasure trove, gripped it in convul-' sive clutch of his toes, reversed the motion. raised his foot, carrying with it the stump, crossed his legs, lan- guidly stretched forth his hand and secured his prize. A gouty clubman, who was out for constitutional and who had watched the proceeding from another bench, was lost in admiration. "Why the man is wonder!" he ex- claimed to a friend. There is some thing magnificent, almost supernatural in such laziness as that! He has ele- vated it to an art, to a-but, hold. 1t would be a thousand pities if he were disturbed for a match. I must offer him one!" The gouty clubman arose with difficulty, hobbled down the walk. and, drawing a silver match-case from his pocket, extended it with 8 polite bow The tramp manifested no sur prise, but slowly extracted match and ignited the stump Tanks" he murmured. and closed his eyes.

To Tell of What Occurs in a Grand

To Tell of What Occurs in Grand
 Jury Room.
 New York Journal; The written de- ciston of Justice Fursman, based on his recent order directing the case of Roland B. Molineux to be resubmitted to the grand jury, was filed yesterday. In this decision Justice Fursman form ally expresses his opinion of the du- ties and proper conduct of grand jul TOTS, ald he also touches on such pro ceedings before the grand jury which in his opinion should be kept secret. Regarding the presumption that all the proceedings of a grand jury are se- cret, Justice Fursman says in his de- cision: Ut is quite a mistake to sup pose that everything that occurs in a grand j room is secret Some things must be kept secret, to-wit; The finding of an indictment where the party indicted is not in custody. Also, how any grand juror votes upon the finding of an indietment-that is not to be disclosed. But whatever occurs during the examination of witness whether the district attorney and the foreman of the grand jury or any grand juror and witness, cannot in the nature of things be kept secret. Any witness may disclose to the outside world everything that took place, and there is no inhibition in any law what ever to prevent It, nor is it an offense for him to disclose it.

Speed of Lions and Tiger

For d short distance a lion or a tiger can outrun man, and can equal the speed of fast horse, but they lose their wind at the end of half mile at the most. They have little endurance and are enarkably weak in lung pow CT. Their strength is the kind which is capable of a terrific effort for short time.

PETERSON RENOMINATED.
He Will be Go,dsboro's Chief
Executive for the Next Two
Years.
A LARGE

Daily Argus of Tuesday.
The largest convention Of
Goldsboro Democrats ever known
was held in the Messenger Opera
House last night, there being 499
registered votes cast for Mayor,
besides a number Of spectators
who did not vote.
Three names wereput in nomi-
nation for Mayor, Messrs. F. W.
Hilker, Jno. H. Hill and J.. E..
Peterson, the present progressive
and popular incumbent.
The majority rule was adopted
and the convention proceeded to
ballot, the name Of every voter
being recorded by the secretary,
and when the ballot was closed
and the recorded names counted
it was found that 400 had voted,
and when the ballots were cans
Yassed Capt, j. E. Peterson
scored 299 The vote was q
nounced amid great enthusiasm.
and on motion the nomination of
Capt. Peterson was declared
unanimous, and in response to
vociferous calls that gentleman
appeared on the stage, and in
graceful language accepted the
nomination, and pledged himself
to yet greater efforts for the ad-
L4ancement of Goldsboro, which
has always progressed under his
previous administrations.
The large convention that as
sembled last night indicates the
lively interest cur citizens take in
the public veal, and is the most
gratifying evidence possible that
we have a live town-which means
a progressive town-and the large
vote and handsome majority by
which Capt Peterson was re-nom-
mated is an earnest that the peo-
PIE endorse his public-spirited and
progressive administration and
wish it continued.
That Capt. Peterson will be
elected goes with the nomination,
and that he will give to Goldsboro
a live, fearl IS, fair and progress
i've administrator is assured.
W. go forward.
