GEORGE BUTLER FOR CONGRESS.

federatc soIdier--EmerEenry Hos
ps.aI To Build.

Correspondence OF The Messenger.D
G~oldsboro. N g. October 6.
Mr.. Robert Hancock. OF New Bern.
one OF the leading republicans OF Craven
county was here today and confirmed
the new that Major George ". Butler.
OF Clinton. brother Of ex-senator
Marion Butler. would be Il candidate
for congress from this district on the
fusion ticket against Hon. Z. r.
Thomas, the present incumbent. who
was the unanimous choice OF the demo-
cratic congressional convention held in
this city last June.
AT a meeting OF the board Of county
commissioners today Mr.. j. +. Smith.
one OF their number, was appointed by
the board as a member OF the committee
10 select a site and help to solicit con-
tributions for a home for INDECENT Con-
federate soldiers in this county. On
account of the rowde condition OF the
soldiers home at Raleigh there are
about 20 eN-Confederate soldiers in this
county who cannot get in and il is in
tended to take care of them here at
home.
The elm trees Of the city are giving
trouble to the sewerage system. The
city kept a large force of hands at work
last week on Broadway street taking
up and cleaning out sewerage. The
roots of the trees had penetrated
through the cement into the pipes and
completely clogged the pipe. This was
the case for n whole square. The
question has narrowed down TO where
the elm trees will have to go or the city
will have to abandon a sewerage sys-
tenn which cost $780, 900.
The Emergency hospital in this city.
which has been renting a building in
which to do business for the past five
years, will soon have a building of its
own. The board of directors have APP
pointed a committee to raise the money
and select a site. One gentleman,
whose name is withheld from publica-
ton by request, has offered to give the
committee all the brick they will need
for the erection of the building. M
others have made handsome donations.
Among the pleasant ~features of he
Elks Carinal and Street Fair, which

The young lady who receives the largest
number of votes will be crowned queen
of the carniva at the closing ball, which
will take place the night of the 25th.

II is admitted on all sides that the
law requiring a reserve in addition 10
government bonds as security for gov
deposits is unwisS and un-
necessary. but where does the secre-
tary of the treasury get his authority
for setting aside any law, unwise or
not? II he may disregard a bad la ",
why may not he or a succeeding sec
Rotary ignore a good law? Again, the
law which ordains that deposits OF
government funds shall be secured by
government bonds and otherwise has
been invariably understood TO mean
that there shall be security in addition
TO the bonds. In other words. the law
has hitherto been construed in the
plainest and simplest way in accord
ance with its working. There may be
phrases in which and" may have

The Heavy Gun n Mechanical Marvel

If we go into a modern battle-Ship
and go owe her, there are no places in
her which would so fill Us with Won
der, and, it may be added, a certaip
amount of uneasiness, as her en-
CINE room and her gun turrets when IN
operation. In the latter, if she is Il
large ship, she will carry Pinch or IT,
inch guns, probably, n these, weigh
ing from 80 to 60 tons-about the
weight of a fair-sized locomotive-wih.
when they are fired, be projected 20 the
rear at a rate of bou % feet per sec
ond, or say II miles al hour. By their
hydraulic recoil brakes, in which resis-
lance to the motion of a piston in a
f1uid-illed cylinder, is by means of q
rod-utilized to restrain the guns re
coil, the gun will be stopped in
SO inches, and will be returned to its
firing position by a powerful colled
spring. So quick is the stroke of recoil
and return that the y fails to appre-
ciate it, and devices are used in gun
turrets to prevent the u from bslrg
loaded twice, from a mistake on the
par of the gunnerS in ~Suproslpg that
the gun had been fired when it bad not.
Nothing, perhaps, gives an idea OF Inc
imE enSity of the forces in play so we'll

that n human eye can hardly See II.
On land, again, we have the ~so-caiieo
disappearing mountings, on which a
gun is carried on a pair of long rock
ing levers. Upon firing. the gun CT 30
or so tons is dropped behind a parapet
and, upon throwing a lever, after inc
gun has been loaded in its lower POSI-
ton, h gun rises above the parapet
again, and is once more ready TO De
