OvERMAN AT GOLDsBORO
His Magnificent Address Delights Large and
Intelligent Audience.

Especial to News and Observer
Goldsboro, n. c., Oct. 16.-Hon. Lee S.
Overman spoke in the Messenger Opera
House here tonight, and judging from the
generous applause which greeted every
climax in his eloquent grafton it is evil
dent that he measured up to the expec-
tations of his audience, a number of
whom were ladies. 1t was great speech,
delivered in grand style to one of the
most intelligent audiences that has gath
cred within the walls of the Messenger
Opera House in many days. 1t has en-
dcarcd Mr.. Overman to the hearts of
Goldsboro people, who will look forward
with pleasure to an opportunity to hear
him again.
His speech was much the same as that
delivered at other points in the State,
and while his audience was in a measure
familiar with it they had never heard it
delivered. He swayed his audience from
grave to gay at will and held them SPELL
bound from start to finish The good
impression will result in a great Demo-
cratic victory at the polls in November.
Mr.. Overman speaks at Kinston to-
morrow and at La Grange on Saturday.

TO REPRESENT NORTH CAROLINA
AT UNWILLING IN RICHMOND.
The Governors Appointments A Talk on Let
tiers That are Found in ray 8 Mail
in the Executive Office.

The Governor through his secretary
yesterday morning announced the ap-
pointment of Gen J. S. Carr, Hon. w. H.
S. Bmgwyn, Major Graham Dawes and
Capt. A. B. Stronach to represent the
State at the uuveiling Of the Confederate
monument in Hollywood cemetery, Rich
lnond. erected to the memory of the Con-
federate soldiers who are buried in Phil
adelphia. the ceremony to take place on
October 25th.
Aft n giving the members of the Ana
Mas Club the above piece of news, Col.
Pearsall, upon request of one Of the doc
tors of the order, went over one days
mail as a sample of the funny requests
that come in to the Governor.
One man wanted the Governor to pre-
vent conjurer from bothering him any
moro. Another to make a law prohibit
ing the curing of tobacco on Sunday An
other to suspend the operation of the
Revenue Law and to permit him to ped
die without license. Then" continued
the Colonel, I'VE received two or three
letters about registering, making foolish
inquiries as to the same. One man, and
bythe-way quite prominent man in the
State, wants the Governor to officiate by
performing the ceremony at his ap
preaching marriage. This the Governor
would be very glad to do, but l do not
think the statute permits it. Then an
other man wants the Governor to get him
a good looking school teacher; still an
other desires the Governor to prevent
lumber company from cutting the timber
on his land. There were four letters
asking financial aid Three about re-
wards, four or five as to special terms of
court, eight or nine as to pardons, and
ten or twelve other as to different mat
tiers and of which the Governor has moth
ing to do. Every letter that comes to
the office is answered"
How many applications for pardon
have been made to Governor Aycock
since the beginning of his administra-
tion?'
1.-TWO hundred and five applications
have been made asking for pardon. He
has pardoned Sc, and committed 8; Ga in
all. Nine or ten of these, however. were
on papers filed in former administrations,
making of those filed during Governor
Aycock's administration, IS pardons and
combinations, and $50 of these filed re-
fused or not acted on. SO you see it
is a very great error on the part of those
who suppose the Governor pardons prac-
tically everyone that applies for a par
don"

DOG FINDS BABY IN WOODS.
The Big st. Bernard Then Carries the
Half-Frozen Infant TO His
Kennel.


Nero, a~fuIl-blooded st. Bernard
dog belonging to John Oliver, a farm
er of Gates, N. Y, attracted the at
tention of his master the other morn
ing by his peculiar actions. The an
imal would rush to the door, whine
and paw the panels until some one
came out, and then rush off to his
KENNEL.
After repeating this performance
some time he was followed to the
DOLLHOUSE, where an investigation re-
vealed half-frozen infant, scantily
dressed and almost buried in the
straw. The baby was hastily car
ried into the house and medical aid
summoned, while Nero showed his
JOY at being understood by uttering
short banks and running around his
master.
Upon further investigation tracks
in the deep snow were discovered,
showing that the dog, true to his
early training in the Alps, had half
carried, half dragged the baby across
fields from the woods nearly mile
distant, where the infant either was
lost or had been abandoned. An old
blanket and some infant clothing
that had slipped off when Nero at
tempted to carry the baby home
showed where the child had lain in
the snow.

Nothing halted his determination.
The city became hive OF municipal
industry. All streets OF any iinpor-
lance underwent Transformation.
They were graded, severed and
paved. and il IL now admitted that
the work was well and admirably
done. Some idea OF the improve
ments that Shepherd made in WASH
ington may be CLEANED from these
interesting figures. He planted
more than 10000 trees and paved ms
miles of streets. besides laying 207
miles of sidewalks, His army OF
men dug and carted away $4,000
cubic yards of earth. He had con-
structed 317,196 feet OF pipe sewers
of 12 TO Is inches in diameter; four
miles of sewers from 10 to 80 feet in
diameter and over five miles of sew
ers from 3 to Z feet in diameter. He
laid 30 miles of water pipe and near
ly 60 miles OF gas pipe. In addition
to this he constructed 30 miles Of
roads in the suburbs Of the city.

Long ExiIe)
the board of common council of
Washington before he was 25. Two
years after, in 1862, he became presi-
dent of the body. He was a member
of the levy court in 1867, and presi-
dent of the Citizens Reform associa-
ton in 1870. Then congress turned
Washington and the District of Co
lumbia into territorial government.
He was appointed governor of the
district, and president of the board
of public works. He had always
borne the reputation of being a pro-
gressive, liberal, yet determined man.
Washington at this time was a
drowsy. half-nortbern, half-southern
city. 1T had been laid out on liberal
lines but had never conformed to
them. 1t had no adequate building
laws. It's streets were mud holes
in winter and dust distributors in
summer. Shepherd determined to
alter this. He had the power and
he proceeded to use it. One morn
ing the people Of the old town wax
ened to find hundreds of men at work
on the streets. 1t was the advance
guard of BOSS" Shepherds legions.
Within the next three years, from
June /, 1871, to June "a. 1874, BOSS"
Shepherd ruled Washington with
Esd Of iron. Men who began by
praising him ended by cursing him,
AS improvements grew taxes in
creased Many men were financially
ruined by the burdens imposed upon
them. Newspapers in other cities
were the only avenues for the male
dictions of the citizens; the local
papers were bound hand and foot by
the influence of the boss" or si-
fenced by knowledge that he was
doing the right thing in improving
Washing on, although ii was unpop-
ular at the time.
