Key West, Fla., Dec. 17.-The cruisers Newark and Raleigh returned to Sev West yes:erday and i.nme diately reported to the Navy Depart ment: that they had been unable to overhaul the fiilibuster steamer Three Friends. It is reported here on good atL thorit v that the latter landed her car go on the Southeast side of tb e island a 1 -$- running fivbt with two Spanish gunboats. Guards from Gomez's army received the war sup plies safely. Tho Three Fri.nds is a fleet little craft and had no difficulty in showing her hells to Uncle Sam's cruisers and to the Spanish vesseis, which are also reported to have taken part in the chase. When questioned about the fiu lug heard off Key West Tuesday, the cifi cers refused to talk, and will not say whether the Spanish vessels opened fire upon the boat. That she sue ceeded in landing her cargo is not doubted here. MACEO ALI vE AGAIN. Jacksonville, Fla , Dec. 17. -A apecial to the Citizen from Tampa~ M. de Lipman, represenigite New York Jouraal, arrived from Havana to-night. He is thoroughi r convinced now that Maceeo is not dead. The authorities there claim t o have the dead body of Maceo, but for some unknown reason they will not Jiow any one to see the body. Be fore leaving Havana, Lipman offered $250 for the privilege of looking at the body, but was refused. He then offered $500 for th.. photograph of the dead body of Mace'>, said to be held. This offer was also declined, an no plausible reason was given; whereupon he says that he believes that the whole story is a fake, and that the reports .to the effect th i Mace is alive are true-an opimion that is shared by many people in Ha vana, who did not think him dead at first. People there now believe that Weyler has victimized them with the Pasengers arriving here to-night on the livette bring glad tidings to Cu bans here. They report that at 8 'clock Tuesday night a telegram wats received in Havauna by Ia authori ties, stating that Gen Pratt, ihe Spaui sh commander in Matanzas province, became enged during that after.jooni with a large party of insurgents, under the leadership of Maceo, and that the engagement was wagi:. g warmer eve:-y hour. It is said tha when this news :eached Havainna al of the entertainments were ordered stopped and the festivities celebratitng the death of Maceo ceased. Uip to the time that the Olivette lef t Wednes !ay, nothing further had been heard. Gen. Julio Saniguily will be given a cvl trial on tbe 21st. ".BILL" AND "BL NCH.' Raleigh, N. C., Dee. 17. --M r. Anthony Comstock, manager of the McBee-ryan combination, passed through this c it y this m or n ing a d stated to a News and Obser ver reporter that the contract with Bryan had been sold by Mr. McBlee at an advance of $25,000 Mr. Mcltee, who was here to-day, refused either t confirm or deny the story. Tfhe rch.sers are an Atlanta syndic'ile. "It has been published that we give Mr. Bryan $50,000 for finty lee urc-," said Mr. Comstock; "but the tiuth about it is that we are to give him a great deal more. It is a great ven ture, but it will be a great finan.aal success. My principal trouble is to keep the tickets out of the hands "of spculators. Only yesterday I rcceiv ed a telegram from from a fellow ini New Orleans saying tbat he had j.:t sent me $1,000 for a block of s: ats.

Crosby, which occured on the sixth inst., after an illness of two weeks. Our young friend was in his sixteenth year and had by his quiet, unassuming and manly disposition endeared himself to his mamy friends and acquaintences. He,had not passed on life's highway the mile post that marks the number of his maturity, When an old man after having passed his three Ecore and ten years succcmbs to the invincible Idversary, who disarms alike the young and the old, his friends accept the decree with more complacency. They feel that his race has been run and i[is li e's work is ended. But when one di::s who is just enter:ng the wornic g of i auhood we feel that his death was two soon for his earthly aspiration- and for his future nseful ness to his Master and his fellowman; but let us hope not two soon for Lis heavenly felicity. It is alarmint that so many or our young men die just as they are entering manhood's cstate. It is a warning to those who survive and is but additional evidenco of the un'.ertainty of life and the certainty ,f death. The deceased was a former pupil of the writer and thus it is that He is enabled to give a more perfect delneatinn of his disposition. His re .ains were ;onveycd !o Cool Branch Church and in in the absence of the pastor the funeral services were con ducted by Mr. J. F. V. Legg, who read some appropirate cbapters in the Bible and made a very impressive talk, after which the remains of our deceas ed friend were carried to the church yard where they were lowered to their final resting place in the pres ence of a sorrowing multitude of re latives and friends. We tender our sympathies to the bereaved family, and trust that their loss will be our dreaccd friends eternal gain. Mr. Editor most of our farmers are done picking and :ellii'g cotion. The small grain is almost all up a nice stami. Somc of our people have been e earirg up !and and building, prep;r atory fo'r anther crop. DColeman and Messrs. J hemflbstote at the forks of the road ucar Miss Sallie Widner's, they are now filling it up with goods, they are soliciting custom, call and make your purchases, they are. hustler.s and we trust tbat they will meet with suceess. Mrs. Jane Wright who returned from Louisana some time ago is now staying at Mr. M. D. C. Colvin's, Mrs. Wright is a native of this state and and her many s.iends and relatives are glad to have her in our midst. Almost every body is done killing .>tgs. Mr.*John Stone killed a very large one not long since, its head weighed sity pounds. Hle did not weigh the whyle hog, but as a general iule a bog will average one hundred pounds for ev ry ten ponnds cf w eight in the head. It was the largest that I have seen. Christmas will soon be here andi I exc pect it will be ra..her dull, and ti e scarcity of money is the great hue and Iand cry among the people. If the kind of prices we have had sice Mc Kinley's election is an inde:x to the much neede.l prospetity which the Reublicans have so faithfully prom ised if ela 'ad, then we cannct promise ourselves . advance in priecs with ii the next four y ears. Mr. Mr D. C. Colvin has three milchi cos from which he sells about eighty puds of buttAr per mohtb and has enough left for home uso. Mr. Co[ yin is one of our most enterprising~ farmers, and is a man of progressive ideas. While in conversation with him my mind was ca'led to the atuen io of what one cow will make if she averages 1 lb. of butter per day sold for 20c. per pound which would be 365 lbs. per year, which amount to $73.00 per year, If one cow will vield an income to that amount it is evident that 5 or 6 would yield an income of ~or $438 per year.
