WILL GO WEST.
FIFTY THOUSAND COLORED PEOPLE OF
NORTH CAROLINA TO EMIGBATE.
Geo. IV. Price, president Association, of the State Ra¬
Colored Emigration at
leigh, N. C., who visited the delta region
of Mississippi and inspected the lands in
Arkansas, was most favorably impressed
with the results of his trip, and will rec¬
ommend a gradual movement of colored
people, especially to the Mississippi del
ta. It is said that at least 50,000
will be removed from North Carolina this
Fall and Winter, Out that the movement
will not amount to anything like a wild
rush. It will be gradual, as the plan is
to secure employment and homes for
ey?ry one before they leave the state.
The exodus is to begin about September already
18. Many colored people are
selling their effects preparatory to emi¬
grating. It is understood that the rail¬
roads in North Carolina decline to give
the emigrants reduced rates, as it is not
their policy to encourage the exodus in
any way.
THE DYING TRUST.
EFFORTS OF THE JUTE TRUST TO DISPOSE
OF TIIEIR BAGGING.
It is officially announced at Raleigh,
N. C., that the jute trust has made a
proposition to the Farmers’ Alliances
that, if they will again use jute bagging,
it will again be sold at 8J cents on lime,
and that the jute trust will pay the farm¬
ers $2 more per ton for their cotton seed
than is offered at any of the cotton seed
oil mills. This is regarded by the Alli¬
ance as an indication that the trust is in
bad straits, The jute trust is shipping the
its bagging to cotton points all over
state, with or without orders, and in
some places it has been offered at two
cents per yard. The trust sends bagging
in quantities, and at two points Wednes¬
day arrived addressed to parties who
have no existence. In other cases it is
arriving addressed to merchants who re¬
fuse to touch it. No sales of trust bag¬
ging are being made in the state, and iu
some large markets merchants have not
purchased a pound of it. The fight
against the bagging trust is now hotter
than ever.
s. S. COX DEAD.
A LONG AND EVENTFUL LIFE BRIEFLY
SKETCHED.
Congressman S. S. Cox died at New
York on Tuesday evening. He was born
at Zanesville, O., September 30, 1824,
being 65 years of age at his death. He
graduated at Brown college in 1846, be¬
came a lawyer and editor, and in 1855
became secretary of legation to Peru.
The following year he was elected to
congress from Ohio, and re-elected for
three consecutive terms, serving in all
eight years. In 1866 he removed to
New York, and two years later was
elected to congress from that city, and
re-elected in 1870. President Cleve¬
land appointed him minister to Turkey,
which post he resigned after filling it
creditably for two years, and on his re¬
turn to this country was re-elected to
congress.
ANOTHER VICTIM.
A MUTILATED HUMAN BODY FOUND IN
WHITECHAPEL, LONDON.
Tuesday morning^a policeman found
the body of a fallen woman lying at the
corner of the railway arch on Cable
street, Whitechapel, An examination
of the remains showed that the head and
arms had been cut off and carried away.
The murder is the worst of the whole
series of Whitechapel murders. The
manner in which the limbs had been
severed from the body shows that the
murderer was possessed of some surgical
skill. The most intense excitement
again prevails in Whitechapel.
STANLEY HEARD FROM.
MOVEMENTS OF THE GREAT EXPLORER IN

Bombassa. He is expected to reach the
eastern coast about the end of October.

THe Hear Was Scared.
Green Hollingsworth has received a
letter from one of the party who went
to Sissonsa few days ago. Lou Hollings¬
worth and Thad Spaulding went with out
hunting, taking an old bear hunter
them. After getting into the country
where there was game they became very
cautious. Suddenly a large-sized bear
appeared about two hundred and fifty
yards off. The boys both ran for a tree.
Lou was almost in the top branches
when he heard a cry of help "from Thad.
He was doing his best to get into the
tree, but on account of his heavy shoe
soles lie was unable to pull himself in.
Lou slipped back to help him and he
fell out. By this time they were so
much out of breath that they were
neither one able to get back into the
tree, and were just ready to fix their
foretops and prepare for death when,
happening to glance up, they saw the
bear over half a mile mountain.—(Wood- away scampering

According to the figures of the Rail
wav Age, the amount of mileage and
capital involved in railways that have
gone into the hands of receivers daring
the first six months of 1889, exceeds the
aggregate for any similar period since
the disastrous year of 1885. There were
eight roads tbus bankrupted, with a
total length of 2,690 miles, and an ap¬
parent investment of §125,570,000. Tlie
St. Louis, Arkansas and Texas, the In¬
ternational and Great Northern, and the
Chicago and Atlantic make up the bulk
of the bad showing. Railway fore¬
closures during the six months wei'e also

mileage of the roads aggregates 1,575

SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS.
Water gas is being manufactured on
a large scale in England.
Massachusetts now claims to make
soft steel equal to tho famous German
article.
Wooden carriage wheels will soon bo
done away with in carriages and steel
wheels substituted.
Manufacturers in many parts of tho
United States are using machinery to
make gas out of coal instead of using
raw coal.
A plumbago mine has been discovered
in Somerville, Me. Specimens have
been analyzed and are pronounced al¬
most pure black lead.
Au extraordinary mill to roll steel bars
and girders is to bo built in England.
It will roll lengths two hundred and
fifty feet long and twenty-four inches
deep.
The wheel used by lapidaries is a flat
•opper disk charged on the edge with
powdered emery, or a steel disc charged
with diamond dust. It is used in tho
same manner as a circular saw'.
A paper on the sardine read by M.

The tercentenary of the microscope
will be celebrated next year at Ant
werp. The botanical exhibition to bo
held there will include also an exhibi¬
tion of microscopes, from the oldest to
the most modern.
A Russian doctor speaks enthusias -
tically of what he calls “urticatiou’’—
that is, pricking with, a bunch of fresh
nettles—as a efire for anaisthosia, neu¬
ralgia, and numerous other diseases. It
has long been in use among the Rus¬
sian peasantry.
The hot-lake district in New’ Zealand
again gives signs of disturbance. Fresh
outbursts of volcanic activity aro noted
at Mount Ruapehu, where the hot lake
on the summit is very lively, and
throws up colossal geysers. Since tho
terrible eruption of 1880 the inhabitants
of the neighborhood become nervous at
the slightest symptom of disturbance.
Of the 4200 kinds of flowers which
grow in Europe only 430, or 10 per cent,
are odoriferous. The commonest flow¬
ers are the white ones, of which there
are 1194 kinds. Less than one- fifth of
these are fragrant. Of the 951 kinds of
yellow flowers 76 are odoriferous; of the
823 red kinds, 84; of the 594 blue
kinds, 31; of the 308 violet-blue kinds,
13. Of the 240 kinds with combined
colors 28 are fragrant.
A new shaping tool has been invent¬
ed—a machine in which two flat sur
^ces, acting vertically or horizontally .
and moving in opposite directions, with
adjustable dies fixed upon them, roll in
one motion a piece of metal, regular or
irregular in shape,and of almost any de¬
sired pattern. At a single stroke of the
mechanism may be obtained a sphere, a
cone, a chair screw, a bolt with thread
and head—in fact, an endless variety of
mechanical forms.
A Chinese Funeral Pyre.
Yueng Yen was twenty-three years
old when he came to this country from
Canton, China, twenty years ago. He
became a laundryman in New York
city, and some time after he had saved
considerable money he gave up pushing
the hot iron himself and employed other
Chinamen to do it. lie hid two shops.
Both did a good business, and he had a
sort of little laundry trust all by him¬
self. Among the Chinamen in town he
was respected, not the least of the
causes of reverence being the fact that
he w r as a capitalist. Yueng Yen died
recently of heart disease. Next day
the Chinese population gave him high
funeral honors and buried him in Ever¬
green Cemetery. At the grave in the
cemetery the dead man s trunks, filled
with all his clothing and other personal
effects, were piled up and lighted. The
burning of this pyre, the placing of
cooked chickens and a p*t of tea upon
the grave were the final ceremonies, and
when Yueng Yen’s fxiends had per¬
formed t-hem with all due solemnity they
felt that they had given him the same
kind of a send-off that he would have
had if he had died on the other side of
the world.
Benzine Motors.
Carriages propelled by benzine motors
;.re now made in Germany. The liquid
under fuel is placed in of a the closed carriage, copper and vessel
the seat passes
diop by drop to a gas generator, which
works a gas motor and drives the car¬
riage. The mixture of gas and air is
exploded by means of an electric spark
in the gas motor. A quart of benzine is
sufficient for an hour’s trip; but a supply
for a soventy-five-mile journey cau be
readily carried iu the vessel. The car¬
riage can run at a speed of ten miles an
hour.
In one of the South Pncitic Islands
there is a small desert of sands, which,
on being stirred by the trade breeze,
emit a faint tinkling music that has a
soothing effect on the ear.
