Another Case.

The only new case of cerebro spinal
meningitis, or spotted fever, reported
to us is that of Mr.. Frank p. Cole, of
Constitution, who was in this city Fri
day morning, but in the afternoon
went home and was taken very seri-
ously i'll. A physician was called who
administered opium, which is consider
ed very good treatment. At last report
received from him Saturday afternoon
he was in stupor, but whether or not
it was caused by the disease or the
drug is not known. 1t is very hard to
tell what the outcome of the case will
be.

F aust,

Manager Seipel had a great house
last night, when Mr.. Louis Morrison
presented in his matchless manner the
grewcome, but fascinating play of
Faust.
The play was superbly staged, and
the electrical and fire effects were mag
nificent-probably finer than any ever
seen here before. Mr. Morrison made
a cunning Satan, and those around
whom he moved his spell, we'll deserve
to tread the boards with him.

Oil Notes..
Yesterdays MARKET.

Inc 500 barrel we'll which was struck
at Proctor Thursday is in the Gordon
sand and means that there is a good
pool in that territory which was
thought to be nearly worked out, as
there were a good many dry holes
around there in the streaks above the
Gordon. Most of the old holes will
now be drilled to the Gordon. This
sand is the same that is tapped at a
depth of from 5000 to $500 feet in the
Warrington district.
There has been a rumor in circula-
ton to the effect that Mr.. r. N Barns
dali had disposed of all his holdings in
the West Virginia field to the South
Penn Oil Co., but it is discredited, as
there has been no preliminary looking
over Lie territory which would have
been the case if there had been any
intention of the South Penn people to
buy the property. The reported price
was $1,600,000 and that figure is
thought to be very low for the proper
ty, even if there were a sale.
The South Penn Oil Co. is the own
er of the Gordon sand strike at Proctor
and the latest information from the
field gives the capacity of the we'll at
from 100 to 2400 barrels per day.

EDITOR WANTS A PLACE.

Among the candidates now here ask
ing for place in the Legislature. is
Mr.. C. r. Hancock, formerly city editor
of the Newbern Journal. Mr.. Hancock,
it will be remembered, contributed an
article to this paper about month ago
that attracted wide attention. In it he
took the position that no negro need hold
office in our State hereafter. The North
Carolina Constitution, he argued, can
be so altered as to entirely prohibit it
without conflicting with Federal au-
thority. Proof of this position, he OBJ
tanned from an examination of the negro
amendments (the 18th, 14th and 18th
themselves, and from United States SUI
preme court decisions, &c, upon them.
