CzOlgOsz COllapses.

Auburn, N. Y, Sept. 28.--
When the train bearing Colgosz
arrived here at $3.50 this morning,
a mob had scollected around the
depot and attempted to lynch the
murderer Of the president, and
his life was only spared by the
guards drawing their revolvers
and threatening to shoot the
first man who should lay hands
on him. One man got close
enough to strike the murderer
on the head. When he reached
the inside OF the prison he col
lapsed for the first time and
expressed regret for the crime
he had committed, and stated
that he had no accomplice in the
dastardly deed.

GOSSIP OF THE STREET.
SOME TIMELY REMARKS By
A CITIZEN.
Who Has the Good of His Town
and the Welfare of His
Fellow Citizens
at Heart.

II was glad 10 see that you
called attention to the bad condl-
| ton of the streets in The ARGUS
yesterday" remarked prominent
/ citizen to an ARGUS man this
morning. Il myself have been
watching the paving wear away
and have seen those holes that
you spoke Of grow from small de-
pressions in the street TO deep holes
that would Interfere with vehicles
and contain ses serel gallons Of
water. [ see also from the ARGUS
yesterday that the Board of Al
dermen have appointed CON-
mittee to negotiate for the pur-
chase of more land on which to
build city hall and market. /
think this is very commendable
action to take, but I think they
made q mistake in not ordering
also the election on the bond ques-
tion and after the bonds were dis
posed of, to buy the water works,
build a city hall and market and
pave the principal business streets
of the city. The appearance of
some of the streets is disgrace
to the city. Take Walnut street,
for instance, between East Centre
and John streets. l do not believe
there is another city in the world
of the size and importance Of
Goldsboro that would permit a
street to remain in that condition
for one day. The foul odors that
arise from the stagnant mud and
slush is not only very offensive,
bat they are menace to the
health of the merchants and
clerks who have to breathe this
impure air all the time.
"I noticed in the ARGUS some
time ago," continued the gentle
man, "that an effort would be made
to pave this street from East
Centre to the court house. This
shuuld be done, but l fear the
project has fallen through, as ]
have not seen any effort made in
that diraction.
| The gentlem4n seemed to be ia
a talking mood and ss We were

He was not talking for puhlica-
ton, but his remarks were sc
timely that we reproduce then

He continued along the same

Into the Hands of Some 9th
er Corporation Or Indt-
vidual.
The city will not own the Wa
ter Works,
This question was decided Mon
day morning at a meeting of the
Board of Aldermen.
It did not require any action to
make the decision and, therefore,
nothing was done.
The Board simply said by their
timidity that they we're afraid to
submit the question to the peoa
pie.
The question of ordering an
election on bonds was mentioned,
but no motion was made.
The Water Works will be sold
On the 9th of November, but not
to the city.
For several years the question
of purchasing the Water Works
plant has been the most promi>
nent in municipal affairs, End an
opportunity to take such action
has been eagerly sought after by
the different administration that
have held the reins of govern
ment.
1t has baen shown conclusively
IN the columns of The ARGUS,
that the Water Works would
prove paying in, estment to the
city, and for this reason, as we'll
a. to give water to the citizens at
a lower rate, the purchase OF the
plant was thought to be a desir-
eble sct,on to take. If the condi-
tions have changed since some
few mott tbs ago, when it was fig
ured cut in an open meeting OF
the Board that it would pay the
city to owo the plant, there has
been 10 statement made to that ef.
feet, and the public is not aware
of it. Just Why the Board should
refuse now to avail themselves of
tbs opportunity at hand is an enig-
ma for wa,cl we offer no solus
tion.

vidual becomes the purchaser of

The Commoner has attained within
six months from date of the first issue
a circulation of 100, 900 copies, a rec
ord probably never equaled in the his
tory of American periodical literature.
The unparalleled growth of this paper
demonstrates that there is room in the
newspaper field for a national paper
devoted to the discussion of political,
economic and social problems. To
the columns of The Commoner Mr..
Bryan contributes his best efforts;
and his review of political events as
they arise from time to time can not
fail to interest those who study public
questions.
The Commoner's regular subscrip-
tion price is 81 90 per year. We have
arranged with Mr.. Bryan whereby we
can furnish his paper and the WILL
MAR TRIBUNE together for one year
for $l.7o. The regular subscription
price of the two papers when subscribed
for separately is $500.
