Goldsboro, ~ c., Oct. 24.-Rev. d. H.
Comann, of Lenoir N c., who has been
conducting series of protracted meetings
in ST. Pauls church, deserves more than a
passing notice ; for the interest he has
awakened among church members as well
as for the good he has accomplished out
side the church He has preached for
nearly two weeks both night and day and
his sermons have grown more interesting
from day to day and from night tot night.
He is a preacher of the old Methodist
school and he stirred up an old time Meth
odist revival. He took the lukewarm
church members and made them enthusias-
tie Christians, while the frozen atmos-
phere of the amen corners melted before
his eloquent pleadings, and each fogrot
their formal dignities and bowed their
heads in supplcation for Divine JUNCTION.
He has possibly stirred up more Chris
tian zeal and created more interest IN re-
ligion than any preacher that has been
to Goldsboro in long time. People out
side the pale of the church who went to
the services through curiosity were
chanoea from scoffers into mourners and
manifested deep interest in their souls
salvation. During the past week several
young people have fiocked around the
chancel at every service and tomorrow
morning at the usual service the doors
OF the church will be thrown open and
invitation extended to those who wish
to become members.

Brown in the Superior court today an

for the removal of the case of s. Hill Ter
ry, charged with the murder of his son.
inlaw. to another county In filing his
opinion Judge Brown says:
Long judicial experience has convinced
me that the fears of prisoners that they
will be injured by public prejudice is
greatly ana naturally exaggerated is the
prisoners mind. When men are put in
the jury box under oath and weighted
with the solemn responsibility of passing
on the life of IA fellow man they are gen
orally governed by the evidence and not
by alleged public sentiment In fact jur-
ors are very 10th to convict of a capital
felony unless the evidence compels them
to do so.
1T must also be borne in mind that
the presiding judge has a corrective pow
er over the verdict of a jury and can
and will always set it aside, especially in
such case as this, unless the verdict is
fully warranted by the evidence. In view
Oh lHlS safeguard thrown around tle prs
oner's rights in case he is improperly CON
victed, feel I ought not to impose upon
the county of New Hanover the great ex-
pense removal would entail, unless L
was of the opinion that it was necessary
to protect the prisoner in his legal right
to fair and impartial trial.
Judge Brown sets the case for trial on
the first day of the next term of Superior
court. convening November 30th.

details when. used should be IAN incen-

to take those desired flights outside the

deed. One Of the denominations of the
mania for detail is to- follow chapter or
two at the commencement Of novel,
disclosing a family scene and introducing
many characters as if the reader had
been acquainted with them all his life,
with couple ofelong chapters giving de-
tails OF the previous lives of each of the
people introduced from the cradle and
babyhood to the present. and all about
his ancestors from way back. It Is also
an abomination for an author to exploit
his imagination in descriptive details,
OF earth and sea, mountains and hills
and Wales. thru page after page, or de-
tail a conversation thru twenty pages
when the climax Is reached in five, the
rest being mere verbal handling. The

Disestab1ishment in France.

ENGAGEMENT ON RECORD
Chicago Journal.

The longest engagement on record Is
seventy five years, and it took place In
Bohemia, where engagements Of fifteen
and even twenty years are SO common as
to cause no remark.
The names Of the wooer. and wooed
were respectively Franz Rosner and Anna
Renner, and they had been counting con-
tinually for seventy five years, but had
repeatedly deferred the bridal day. At
last Franz became fatally i'll and was
married on his death bed on the. eve of
his one hundredth birthday. the age Of
the bride and widow being 80.
In Russia long engagements are not
relished by betrothed young men,. altho
the ladies usually are not at all, averse
to them. Indeed, these latter not =infre-
quently use all sorts Of articles In order
to stave off the wedding day to as distant
date as possible. Z:
Perhaps the custom that DEGREES that
tho Russian bridegroom elect must send
his sweetheart a present every day, no
matter whether the engagement last for
ten weeks or ten years, may have some
thing to do with this anomalous state Of
affairs.
The regularly recognized length Of a
Stamese engagement is exactly one month.

hensible prudery. Moreover, in Siam, old
