GREECE CrLEnitATES HER DEC- LARATION OF INDEPENDENCE Precaution to "Prevent Outbreak of II o-- til itie- - Hie Oueen to Go to th Front to Take Charge of the Corp of 'urses. Turkey Heady to Jtuh 50,000 Soldier Across the Frontier The Itlockade of Athene to be Followed by Declaration of War Ficb tine In Crete. Athens, April 5. All the preparations for the celebration tomorrow of the an- niversary of the declaration of Greek Independence in 1S12 have been com- pleted. A public meeting will be held here to protest against the action of the powers toward Greece and pledge sup- port of the Greek government in any action it may think fit to take in the premises. In this connection there has been a belief that the celebration of to- morrow would be followed by a decla- ration of war against Turkey. This feeling, however, is not general. Tues- day in Greece is regarded as an un- lucky day to enter upon anything of great importance and for this, more than for other reasons, political or mil- itary, is based hope that the independ- ence celebration will pass off without frontier incidents likely to precipitate the struggle for which Greece has been preparing for the past two months. Although this week is likely to be a fateful one for Greece, the orders of Prince Constantin. the crown prince and commander-in-chie- f of the Greek forces in Thessaly, are most strict that ' anything in the shape of a demonstra- - : tion in the direction of the Turkish frontier must be suppressed. The sol- diers and armed peasants, however, are in no mood to be curbed, and no- body would be astonished to hear of an aggressive movement at least upon the part of the Greek irregulars. : The Turkish commander-in-chie- f, Ed-he- m Pasha, is fully alive to the diff- iculty and dangers of the situation and j has already strengthened the frontier outposts, besides taking other means to meet any contingency which may arise. Fifty thousand Turks, with a few hours notice, can be sent across the j Greek frontier- - and, according to un- - t biased military experts, the Turkish flag might be Hying over Tarrissa a few days later. The Greeks, while ani- mated by fierce enthusiasm and desire for war, are not nearly so well dis- ciplined as the Turkish trooos. and the THREI 2 MORE You Must Pay Up or Lose The Messenger The Vesuvius Overhauled the Tag: Alexan- der Jone J ast as She Was Crossing the Fernandlna Bar The llermuda Clowe Itjr (Charleston News and Courier.) Savannah, Ga, April 4. A special to The Morning News from Fernandlna, Fla., says: The Vesuvius arrived here late last night from Jacksonville, and in coming over the bar spoke the tug Alexander Jones, of Wilmington, and took her in charge and brought her to this port. An officer has been placed aboard of the tug, and captain J. J. Atkins, of the ' Jones, has protested and left the tug in the government's hands, and notified the officials that he would hold them responsible for every minute he was de- - ' tained by them, as he holds contract for work in the harbor which he was on his way here to do. j The Alexander Jones belongs to the Wilmington Pilots' Association. It is thought In official circles that this boat was to have taken an expedition out here last night, but there are no signs of arms and men to be found in the vicinity. It Is also rumored that the representative of the Spanish govern- - 1 ment has made a big mistake. The Vesuvius is still in port, and has the port well guarded against anything of a filibustering nature. The tug Alex- - ander Jones Is lying at the railroad docks with her steam very low. j Jacksonville, Fla., April 4. A tele- phone message from Fernandina to The Times-Unio- n states that the tug Alexander Jones was brought in there lato last night in charge of an officer from the cruiser Vesuvius. The gov- ernment vessel came in today. The tug was seized on Cumberland Sound on suspicion of being a filibuster, but as nothing suspicious was found on her she was held on the charge of violating the navigation laws, being without lights when seized by the Vesuvius. The cruiser was out all night, and her appearance spoiled a large expedition , that was ready to sail from that place. ; The tug Panama was lying at the dock there at midnight with several large barges alongside of her loaded with arms and ammunition. When the Jones came in they took alarm, and the barges were run off up the St. Mary's river and hid, so that when the Vesu- vius came in she found nothing sus- picious on the tug. As the tug was fired up, and had a big lot of coal on, she was viewed with suspicion. The Jones had a lot of coal on, it is said, and a very large crew for so small a vessel 1. (.w asmngton 'ost.; Jacksonville, Fla., April 4. The j cruiser Vesuvius prevented a Cuban ex- pedition from leaving Fernandina last night, and captured the tug Alexander j Jones, of Wilmington, N. C. The cruiser left here suddenly yesterday yesterday afternoon upon information furnished by -- Spanish Vice consul Potous that an expedition would leave Fernandina at 12 o'clock at night. The cruiser went down the river and an- chored off Fernandina bar. About 12 o'clock a tug with only two lights burn- ing at the masthead was seen to ap- proach, and the flash light of the Vesu- vius was thrown upon her. The tug proved to be the Alexander Jones, and the captain gave as an excuse for his jue&eiiee iiictt iitr was waimig iui lows. An officer from the Vesuvius was nlaced aboard, and then the rrniser went out to sea in search of the Ber- - , muda, which was expected. taaWiKSr : nals displayed as those of the Jones. ! The Hash light was again used, at j which the steamer turned and started in another direction. A signal from the Vesuvius brought the steamer to a standstill, however, and it was seen to i ' be the Bermuda. The Bermuda, how -- t ever, was outside the three-mil- e lim mr'S thority to detain her. The Bermuda ! apparently had no cargo on board, ; standing very nign out oi me water. The Jones was escorted into the port of Fernandina and turned over to Co- llector of Customs Baltzell, who placed ! a deputy aboard. The tug will proba- bly be lined for a violation of the navi- gation laws in having only two lights displayed. i The plans of the Cubans were for j General Sanguilly to leave this city J with a party of Cubans for Fernandina. A small tug was then to tow two light- ers loaded with arms and ammunition and the men out to the bar where they were to be met by the tug Jones with coal and provisions aboard, and every- thing was to be transferred to the Ber- muda. The quick action of the Vesu- vius prevented their plans from being carried out. (By Associated Press.) Jacksonville, Fla., April 5. The tug Alexander Jones, which was seized by the Vesuvius at Fernandina Saturday night, is still detained; but no charge has been preferred. The captain denies that he was doing anything but waiting for tows, although suspicions indicate otherwise. The tug will probably be fined for violation of the navigation laws, for not displaying the proper lights. The Vesuvius returned here to- day, but reported nothing new. Cap- tain Pillsbury evidently made a mis- take in not waiting for the Bermuda to speak the Jones, when it could have been caught as well.

The absence of President Worthington this morning caused Senator Goebel, (democrat) president pro tern, of the senate, to preside at the joint session. According to an agreement made previously, but one vote was cast for each candidate, as follows: Blackburn 1, Hunter 1, Boyle 1. Stone 1. The joint assembly then adjourned until tomorrow. The roll was not called, but a quorum was not present, many of the representatives not having returned from their homes where they spent Sunday. The joint assembly was in session just five minutes. On ac- count of the absence of many of the members of the general assembly, the steering committee of the two parties had come to an understanding that un- til a quorum is present but one ballot will be cast for each man. and as the news of their agreement became public property, early in the day, there was no interst takn in the joint session save that it might develope some un-look- ed for complication.

Hundred of People See It It "Wan Uril-liant- ly Lighted and Moved "West look- ed Like It Had Rlgglng-Se- en In Cities Out West. Hundreds of people were out on the streets and wharves last night, look- ing at a brilliant floating mass in the hfavor.s to the west of the city. It was moving very rapidly, and many persons saw net-wor- k about the aerial wonder. Some of our very best and inoht reliable citizens saw so much of the heavenly stranger that they had not the slightest doubt but that it was the air ship which has been reported from other cities. The ship moved to the west at a rapid rate. It seemed to have something like a search-ligh- t facing earthwards, and created a sen- sation among all classes of people. The ship appeared to come from thv ocean and passed opposite Markr street dock, going in the direction of the .Vavassa guano works. Some gen- tlemen who saw the ship through Held glasses inform us that they could Bee wires and ropes and rigging about it. To the naked eye many colored lights were visible. Kven those who looked at it without glasses admit of no doubt but that it was an airship. OMAHA SEES AN AIR SHIP. Omaha, Neb., March 31. During the last six months an alleged airship han been obse rved floating in the heavens in different sections of this state. For the last three nights it has been seen hovering over Omaha. The unusua occurrence has led to the opinion that an inventor of a real .airship has been testing his machine in Nebraska pre- paratory to placing it before the public. The indications are that John C Preast, of this county, is the author of the mysterious machine, though he vigorously denies that such is the case. Preast occupies his time at his country residence, near Omaha, in experiment- ing with airships, constructing models, etc., and has been so engaged for the last ten years. Some time ago he told several persons that he would surpris the world with a working model in 1M7. There is no doubt that the light seen in different parts of the state is tha same, sinee the descriptions oy the persons who have seen it always agree. The light is about as large as a loco- motive headlight and it seems to bo turned up or down, right or left at th.t will of sojne human agency. Sometimes it is seen rushing through the air at a very high rate of speed, and again is observed stationary or moving slowly through the heavens about half a mile high. The two times in the last week that the light has been seen at Omaha it disappeared near Preast s home. KANSAS CITY STARTLED. Kansas City, Mo., April 4. The lighl that appeared in the heavens over thi: eity last night was watched for more than an hour by thousands of excited persons, who crowded the streets or sought places of vantage on bluffs and houseops. The light was about the size of a locomotive headlight, but wa i brighter and apparently electric. It appeared soon after 8 o'clock on the western horizon, and swiftly approach- ed the city until it rode in the sky lik a wonderfully brilliant star, at an angle of about forty-fiv- e degrees. Then it moved rapidly from north to south, dip- ped down toward the earth and rose again. As the light rose it became quite dirrr but when it was falling or stationary or sweeping horizontally it blazed out brilliantly again. Many persons were eotivinced that it was the search-ligh- t of an airship. About 9:lii o'clock thr light suddenly grew small and red and swept off to the horizon in a north- westerly direction and disappeared About an hour later telegrams from Everest, a litle town in Brown county Kansas, about sixty miles northwest of Kansas City, announced the appear- ance of the same mysterious light that had puzzled Topekans, including Gov- ernor Leedy and many other conspicu- ous men. a few nights since. One of the dispatches said: "At !':or tonight the light appeared in the southwest so brilliant that it at- tracted attention almost immediately. As the airship came over the city tho full power of the wonderful lamps wa t turned on, and the city was Hooded with light. The entire population was soon outdoors watching the aerial nav- igator as it n eared the earth, or with the velocity of an eagle darted upward and again in an instant would sail away into space until the light.? merely twinkled. Then reversing, it would sail back over the heads of the astonished spectators. For five min utes at one time it seemed to skirt the lowest edge of a cloud that hung low in the heavens, and it was then that the powerful lights were reflected on the clouds and the outlines of a ship alxuit thirty feet long apparently wero clearly distinguished. "For one hour and twenty minutes the airship was never out of sight, and, while passing back and forth over tho city, it made maneuvers, remaining stationary at different points. At ono time, while the shin was motionless, immediately alnwe the throng, with a clear sky for a background, the light disappeared and nothing was seen but. a black mass for about ten seconds. Then the lights flashed out and the ship moved away to the right. In or- der to vouch for the accuracy of the facts set forth. The Times correspond ent here obtained this affidavit: " "This is to certify that we, the un- dersigned, saw and watched for somo time tonight the movements of large and brilliant lights that travelled at va- rious heights over this city, and that we believe the same was seen at va- rious other points, and believe it to bo an airship.' " The signers of the affidavit are J. E Gunn. proprietor of the Commercial hotel: E. E. Mason, of the roller mills; A. L. Stout, a capitalist; Cleve Mc-Greg- ar, of Lyons Brothers, and T. El- lington, all men of repute. Kansas City people are nonplussed, there is a variety of explanations, but as to the light itself there is no ques- tion. Two liives Saved. Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction City, 111., was told by her doctors she had Consumption and that there was no hope for her, but two bottles Dr. King's New Discovery completely cured her and she says it saved her life. Mr. Thos. Eggers. 129 Florida st., San Francisco, suffered from a dreadful cold, approaching Consumption, tried without result everything else then bought one bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery and in two weeks was cured.

Two of the directors of the agricul tural and mechanical college have ak-e- d the board of aldermen to allow th hospital that is to be put up for the col- lege to be placed cn the edge of "Pul-ie- n Park," and to give the college con. trol around the building. This will hardly be permitted. It is said that Governor Russell and staff are contemplating attending tho ceremonies at the dedication of the Grant monument in New York, but if that be true, he will not Ik? able to start the machinery at the opening of the Tennessee centennial. May 1st, as he has consented to do. There is every likelihod that a Mo- ravian church will be established here. There are already quite a numler of Moravians living here. Mention was made a few days ago that the headstones for the Winchester (Va.) dead were being prepared. There are 448 graves of North Carolina sol- diers there, and these headstones will be placed in position in June. The new management of the Atlantic and North Carolina railroad will, it is said, place negroes in all iositions where they wiil not come in contact with the public. A letter has been received by Auditor Aycr, from a Mr. Picer, from Park Rapids, Mich., asking about the cli- mate, resources, etc., of North Carolina, with a view to locating here. There is a plan on foot to start a sheriffs' Institute a gathering of sher- iffs at some given place and discuss thu mode of work in their lines, to hav the state treasurer and auditor, and others who are fully competent, to disj cuss the revenue and machinery act. Circulars to this effect are being sent out. C. T. Bailey has the endorsement of Senator Pritchard and Congressman Pearson for the position of postmaster here in Raleigh. He will have to wait a year, though, as the term of Post- master Busbee does not expire until April 1, 1898. Governor Russell will ask the railroad commission to rtduce railway and tel- egraph rates. He will ask it to mako the first class rate 2 cents per mile, in- stead of Zi cents, as it is now on all roads whose gross earnings are $5,000 per mile. Also to make rate for ten wona? by teiesrapn ii cents, msteaa or 25 cents, as is now the case. State Auditor Ayer says he will hard- ly appoint a pension clerk before Sep- tember, when the state pension lxiard meets to pass upon the different ap- plications. The receipts of the Raleigh postoffica for fiscal year ending April 6. 1877, wer t $32,583.19. Tn 104 they were $25,000. and have increased $2,000 every year since. This posomce handles more second class matter than any other office of its rank in the XTr.ited States. The cases of both Harrison and How- ell were continued this morning until an undecided date. Negro guards were appointed at thr state farms, and the white guards who were retained resigned.

It is stated today that the queen of Greece has decided to start immediately for Thessaly in order to superintend, with her daughter-in-la- w, the Crown Princess Sophia, the field nurses at- tached to the Greek ambulance corps. The next actual step anticipated in the eastern game is the proclamation of the admirals of the foreign fleets to blockade the gulf of Athens. This was to have occurred today, but a hitch has occurred at the last moment. No- body here seems to doubt that the blockade of the gulf of Athens would be followed, if not preceded by a decla- ration of war against Turkey. Larissa, April 5.

GREECE CrLEnitATES HER DEC-LARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

for the celebration tomorrow of the an-

niversary of the declaration of GreekIndependence in 1S12 have been com-pleted. A public meeting will be heldhere to protest against the action of thepowers toward Greece and pledge sup-port of the Greek government in anyaction it may think fit to take in thepremises. In this connection there hasbeen a belief that the celebration of to-

morrow would be followed by a decla-ration of war against Turkey. Thisfeeling, however, is not general. Tues-day in Greece is regarded as an un-lucky day to enter upon anything ofgreat importance and for this, morethan for other reasons, political or mil-

itary, is based hope that the independ-ence celebration will pass off withoutfrontier incidents likely to precipitatethe struggle for which Greece has beenpreparing for the past two months.

Although this week is likely to be afateful one for Greece, the orders ofPrince Constantin. the crown princeand commander-in-chie- f of the Greekforces in Thessaly, are most strict that '

anything in the shape of a demonstra- - :

tion in the direction of the Turkishfrontier must be suppressed. The sol-diers and armed peasants, however,are in no mood to be curbed, and no-body would be astonished to hear of anaggressive movement at least upon thepart of the Greek irregulars. :

The Turkish commander-in-chie- f, Ed-he- m

Pasha, is fully alive to the diff-iculty and dangers of the situation and j

has already strengthened the frontieroutposts, besides taking other meansto meet any contingency which mayarise. Fifty thousand Turks, with afew hours notice, can be sent across the j

Greek frontier- - and, according to un- - t

biased military experts, the Turkishflag might be Hying over Tarrissa a fewdays later. The Greeks, while ani-mated by fierce enthusiasm and desirefor war, are not nearly so well dis-ciplined as the Turkish trooos. and the

The Vesuvius Overhauled the Tag: Alexan-der Jone J ast as She Was Crossing theFernandlna Bar The llermuda Clowe Itjr

(Charleston News and Courier.)Savannah, Ga, April 4. A special to

The Morning News from Fernandlna,Fla., says: The Vesuvius arrived herelate last night from Jacksonville, andin coming over the bar spoke the tugAlexander Jones, of Wilmington, andtook her in charge and brought her tothis port.

An officer has been placed aboard ofthe tug, and captain J. J. Atkins, of the '

Jones, has protested and left the tug inthe government's hands, and notifiedthe officials that he would hold themresponsible for every minute he was de-- '

tained by them, as he holds contract forwork in the harbor which he was on hisway here to do. j

The Alexander Jones belongs to theWilmington Pilots' Association. It isthought In official circles that this boatwas to have taken an expedition outhere last night, but there are no signsof arms and men to be found in thevicinity. It Is also rumored that therepresentative of the Spanish govern- - 1

ment has made a big mistake.The Vesuvius is still in port, and has

the port well guarded against anythingof a filibustering nature. The tug Alex- -ander Jones Is lying at the railroaddocks with her steam very low. j

Jacksonville, Fla., April 4. A tele-phone message from Fernandina toThe Times-Unio- n states that the tugAlexander Jones was brought in therelato last night in charge of an officerfrom the cruiser Vesuvius. The gov-ernment vessel came in today. The tugwas seized on Cumberland Sound onsuspicion of being a filibuster, but asnothing suspicious was found on hershe was held on the charge of violatingthe navigation laws, being withoutlights when seized by the Vesuvius.The cruiser was out all night, and herappearance spoiled a large expedition ,

that was ready to sail from that place. ;

The tug Panama was lying at the dockthere at midnight with several largebarges alongside of her loaded witharms and ammunition. When theJones came in they took alarm, and thebarges were run off up the St. Mary'sriver and hid, so that when the Vesu-vius came in she found nothing sus-picious on the tug. As the tug wasfired up, and had a big lot of coal on,she was viewed with suspicion. TheJones had a lot of coal on, it is said,and a very large crew for so small avessel 1.

(.w asmngton 'ost.;Jacksonville, Fla., April 4. The j

cruiser Vesuvius prevented a Cuban ex-pedition from leaving Fernandina lastnight, and captured the tug Alexander j

Jones, of Wilmington, N. C. Thecruiser left here suddenly yesterdayyesterday afternoon upon informationfurnished by -- Spanish Vice consulPotous that an expedition would leaveFernandina at 12 o'clock at night. Thecruiser went down the river and an-chored off Fernandina bar. About 12o'clock a tug with only two lights burn-ing at the masthead was seen to ap-proach, and the flash light of the Vesu-vius was thrown upon her. The tugproved to be the Alexander Jones, andthe captain gave as an excuse for hisjue&eiiee iiictt iitr was waimig iui lows.An officer from the Vesuvius wasnlaced aboard, and then the rrniserwent out to sea in search of the Ber- - ,

muda, which was expected.

nals displayed as those of the Jones. !

The Hash light was again used, at j

which the steamer turned and startedin another direction. A signal from theVesuvius brought the steamer to astandstill, however, and it was seen to i

'be the Bermuda. The Bermuda, how --

tever, was outside the three-mil- e lim

mr'Sthority to detain her. The Bermuda !

apparently had no cargo on board, ;

standing very nign out oi me water.The Jones was escorted into the port

of Fernandina and turned over to Co-llector of Customs Baltzell, who placed !

a deputy aboard. The tug will proba-bly be lined for a violation of the navi-gation laws in having only two lightsdisplayed. i

The plans of the Cubans were for j

General Sanguilly to leave this city J

with a party of Cubans for Fernandina.A small tug was then to tow two light-ers loaded with arms and ammunitionand the men out to the bar where theywere to be met by the tug Jones withcoal and provisions aboard, and every-thing was to be transferred to the Ber-muda. The quick action of the Vesu-vius prevented their plans from beingcarried out.

(By Associated Press.)Jacksonville, Fla., April 5. The tug

Alexander Jones, which was seized bythe Vesuvius at Fernandina Saturdaynight, is still detained; but no chargehas been preferred. The captain deniesthat he was doing anything but waitingfor tows, although suspicions indicateotherwise. The tug will probably befined for violation of the navigationlaws, for not displaying the properlights. The Vesuvius returned here to-day, but reported nothing new. Cap-tain Pillsbury evidently made a mis-take in not waiting for the Bermuda tospeak the Jones, when it could havebeen caught as well.

Lighted and Moved "West look-ed Like It Had Rlgglng-Se- en In CitiesOut West.Hundreds of people were out on the

streets and wharves last night, look-ing at a brilliant floating mass in thehfavor.s to the west of the city. Itwas moving very rapidly, and manypersons saw net-wor- k about the aerialwonder. Some of our very best andinoht reliable citizens saw so much ofthe heavenly stranger that they hadnot the slightest doubt but that it wasthe air ship which has been reportedfrom other cities. The ship moved tothe west at a rapid rate. It seemedto have something like a search-ligh- tfacing earthwards, and created a sen-

sation among all classes of people.The ship appeared to come from thv

ocean and passed opposite Markrstreet dock, going in the direction ofthe .Vavassa guano works. Some gen-tlemen who saw the ship throughHeld glasses inform us that they couldBee wires and ropes and rigging aboutit. To the naked eye many coloredlights were visible. Kven those wholooked at it without glasses admit ofno doubt but that it was an airship.

OMAHA SEES AN AIR SHIP.Omaha, Neb., March 31. During the

last six months an alleged airship hanbeen obse rved floating in the heavensin different sections of this state. Forthe last three nights it has been seenhovering over Omaha. The unusuaoccurrence has led to the opinion thatan inventor of a real .airship has beentesting his machine in Nebraska pre-paratory to placing it before the public.The indications are that John CPreast, of this county, is the author ofthe mysterious machine, though hevigorously denies that such is the case.Preast occupies his time at his countryresidence, near Omaha, in experiment-ing with airships, constructing models,etc., and has been so engaged for thelast ten years. Some time ago he toldseveral persons that he would surpristhe world with a working model in1M7.

There is no doubt that the light seenin different parts of the state is thasame, sinee the descriptions oy thepersons who have seen it always agree.The light is about as large as a loco-motive headlight and it seems to boturned up or down, right or left at th.twill of sojne human agency. Sometimesit is seen rushing through the air at avery high rate of speed, and again isobserved stationary or moving slowlythrough the heavens about half a milehigh. The two times in the last weekthat the light has been seen at Omahait disappeared near Preast s home.

KANSAS CITY STARTLED.Kansas City, Mo., April 4. The lighl

that appeared in the heavens over thi:eity last night was watched for morethan an hour by thousands of excitedpersons, who crowded the streets orsought places of vantage on bluffs andhouseops. The light was about the sizeof a locomotive headlight, but wa ibrighter and apparently electric. Itappeared soon after 8 o'clock on thewestern horizon, and swiftly approach-ed the city until it rode in the sky lika wonderfully brilliant star, at an angleof about forty-fiv- e degrees. Then itmoved rapidly from north to south, dip-ped down toward the earth and roseagain.

As the light rose it became quite dirrrbut when it was falling or stationary orsweeping horizontally it blazed outbrilliantly again. Many persons wereeotivinced that it was the search-ligh- tof an airship. About 9:lii o'clock thrlight suddenly grew small and red andswept off to the horizon in a north-westerly direction and disappearedAbout an hour later telegrams fromEverest, a litle town in Brown countyKansas, about sixty miles northwestof Kansas City, announced the appear-ance of the same mysterious light thathad puzzled Topekans, including Gov-ernor Leedy and many other conspicu-ous men. a few nights since. One ofthe dispatches said:

"At !':or tonight the light appearedin the southwest so brilliant that it at-tracted attention almost immediately.As the airship came over the city thofull power of the wonderful lamps wa tturned on, and the city was Hoodedwith light. The entire population wassoon outdoors watching the aerial nav-igator as it n eared the earth, or withthe velocity of an eagle darted upwardand again in an instant would sailaway into space until the light.?merely twinkled. Then reversing, itwould sail back over the heads of theastonished spectators. For five minutes at one time it seemed to skirt thelowest edge of a cloud that hung lowin the heavens, and it was then thatthe powerful lights were reflected onthe clouds and the outlines of a shipalxuit thirty feet long apparently weroclearly distinguished.

"For one hour and twenty minutesthe airship was never out of sight, and,while passing back and forth over thocity, it made maneuvers, remainingstationary at different points. At onotime, while the shin was motionless,immediately alnwe the throng, witha clear sky for a background, the lightdisappeared and nothing was seen but.a black mass for about ten seconds.Then the lights flashed out and theship moved away to the right. In or-

der to vouch for the accuracy of thefacts set forth. The Times correspondent here obtained this affidavit:

" "This is to certify that we, the un-dersigned, saw and watched for somotime tonight the movements of largeand brilliant lights that travelled at va-rious heights over this city, and thatwe believe the same was seen at va-rious other points, and believe it to boan airship.' "

The signers of the affidavit are J. EGunn. proprietor of the Commercialhotel: E. E. Mason, of the roller mills;A. L. Stout, a capitalist; Cleve Mc-Greg- ar,

of Lyons Brothers, and T. El-lington, all men of repute.

Kansas City people are nonplussed,there is a variety of explanations, butas to the light itself there is no ques-tion.

Two of the directors of the agricultural and mechanical college have ak-e- d

the board of aldermen to allow thhospital that is to be put up for the col-lege to be placed cn the edge of "Pul-ie- n

Park," and to give the college con.trol around the building. This willhardly be permitted.

It is said that Governor Russell andstaff are contemplating attending thoceremonies at the dedication of theGrant monument in New York, but ifthat be true, he will not Ik? able tostart the machinery at the opening ofthe Tennessee centennial. May 1st, ashe has consented to do.

There is every likelihod that a Mo-ravian church will be established here.There are already quite a numler ofMoravians living here.

Mention was made a few days agothat the headstones for the Winchester(Va.) dead were being prepared. Thereare 448 graves of North Carolina sol-diers there, and these headstones willbe placed in position in June.

The new management of the Atlanticand North Carolina railroad will, it issaid, place negroes in all iositionswhere they wiil not come in contactwith the public.

A letter has been received by AuditorAycr, from a Mr. Picer, from ParkRapids, Mich., asking about the cli-mate, resources, etc., of North Carolina,with a view to locating here.

There is a plan on foot to start asheriffs' Institute a gathering of sher-iffs at some given place and discuss thumode of work in their lines, to havthe state treasurer and auditor, andothers who are fully competent, to disjcuss the revenue and machinery act.Circulars to this effect are being sentout.

C. T. Bailey has the endorsement ofSenator Pritchard and CongressmanPearson for the position of postmasterhere in Raleigh. He will have to waita year, though, as the term of Post-master Busbee does not expire untilApril 1, 1898.

Governor Russell will ask the railroadcommission to rtduce railway and tel-egraph rates. He will ask it to makothe first class rate 2 cents per mile, in-stead of Zi cents, as it is now on allroads whose gross earnings are $5,000per mile. Also to make rate for tenwona? by teiesrapn ii cents, msteaa or25 cents, as is now the case.

State Auditor Ayer says he will hard-ly appoint a pension clerk before Sep-tember, when the state pension lxiardmeets to pass upon the different ap-plications.

The receipts of the Raleigh postofficafor fiscal year ending April 6. 1877, wer t$32,583.19. Tn 104 they were $25,000. andhave increased $2,000 every year since.This posomce handles more secondclass matter than any other office ofits rank in the XTr.ited States.

The cases of both Harrison and How-ell were continued this morning untilan undecided date.

Negro guards were appointed at thrstate farms, and the white guards whowere retained resigned.

Governor Ru..ell will send his an-swer in the injunction cases to Greens-lxr- o,

Arrangements were perfected todayby which some conclusion will Ikj

ply for a mandamus to compel theauditor to make the poll tax $1.3S in-
