Only a Rumor.
Th re was a report in very general cir
culation on the streets to-day to the effect
that several men were drowned near
Meares Bluff nn Saturday night by the
upsetting of a boat. We have made dili
gent inqnir.sjibout the matter, but were
unable to trace it to any reliable source.
Through the courtesy of the officers of the
isavasea Guano Oompauy of this city we
were permitted to telephone the Bluff but
juld scertain nothing there.
Personal
We acknowledge the pleasure of
a visit this morning from Mr.
George E. Pittman, editor and propri
etor of the sprightly little Nut Shell
which is published daily at Newborn.
It always gives us pleasure to meet
witn those whom we knew in the times
that tried men's souls, and Mr. Pittman is
one whom the writer knew when the sur
roundings were not so pleasing or agree
able a3 the circumstances under which we
viewed each other to-day.

stay.
meeting of Railroad and steamboat
Men.
The Southern Railway and Steamship
Association met in Augusta, Thursday, for
the purpose of reorganizing and fixing
freight rates. The attendance was- rery
large. The association is holding its ses
sions at the Plantei's Hotel. The com.
mittees on division of business were en
gaged in making a recast, but were unable
to agree, and the old arrangement will
stand until re-arranged by tfie general
commissioners, to whom the whale matter
is referred, under tbe rules of the associa
tion, in case of a disagreement among the
committees.
On Friday the association was to have
been engaged in fixing freight rates, and
reports from the several committees were
expected. Col. A. Pope, of this city, Gen
eral Freight Agent of the Atlantic Coast
Line, was in attendance, representing the
interests of his line in the meeting.
Outrageous.
On Saturday last some (light or ten
young lads congregated in front of the
residence of Dr. John D. Bellamy, on the
corner of Market and Fifth streets, and
indulged in the pastime of throwing each
other's hats over into the garden, which,
by the way, is one of the finest flower gar
dens in the city, and one in which the
Doctor and his family take great pleasure
and upon which they have expended con
siderate time and money. Of course,
the boys must go into the garden after
their hats as they were thrown over, and
as they did so, they would break off some
of the fiuest tiowers to be found, au 1 in
this way the garden wa.s despoiled oi
nearly all its valuable and choicest kinds
and many other plants were trampleu
and broken down so that they were com
pletely ruined. These acts of vandalism
were done by these who have ' had the
advantage of better teaching, and who
have been surrounded by the refining in
fluences of cultivated homes and the
tender solicitude of cultured parental af
fection. We sincerely hope far the
benefit of all concerned that these thought
less hut wicked aets may not be repeated.
American and European plans, both
have been adopted by the Grand Central
Hotel, on Broadway, New York. You
can now pay $1 00 per day ad upwards,
for a nice room at this large first-class
Hotel, on Broadway, take your breakfast
there, at the elegant resturant, attached
to the hou&e, at moderate prices, and if
you do not return until night you have
nothing more to pay. Or you can stop
there on the American p'an for $2 50 to
3.00 per day, room and meals included.

Treasury a notification that by reason of
his being tbe postmaster in this city be

Under this appointment C.l. Brink will
be entitled to receive and ho d public

Delinquent Taxpayers Attention.
The Treasury Department of the city
government haa been kept busy to-day in
making out a list of all delinquents in the
license tax due the city. The Mayor has
issusd warrants for the arrest of the same
which will be plaeed in the hands of
several policemen this afternoon and any
number of retailers, trades people , mer
chants and others doing business in the
city who have failed to pay np will be
waited en by the gentlemen of the clnb
and star and cited to appear before His
Honor Mayor Ftshblate to-morrow morn
ing at 9 o clock to show cause why they
shonld not be dealt with as - the law
directs. All those who wish to save
$1.70 costs besides the tax would do well
to heed this notice.
Watery Grave.
Saturday night between the hours of
eleven and twelve, Dick Crawford, color
ed, took a canoe at the foot of Market
street to start across the river to his dom
icile. The water was very rough, and as
Dick had been drinking he was admon
ished by tho.e standing around not to
venture across in his frail era t. He was
determined and paid no attention to the
advice of his friends. After placing some
parcels in tbe boat he then started for the
opposite bank of the river and when he
had about reached it, his cries for help,
rent the air. Persons on the west bank
of the river ran to his assistence but ar
rived after the treacherous waters of the
Cape Fear had stopped his cries. As the
boat in which he tmbarked has not been
seen since the fatal accident it is not
known whether it capsized or he missed
his footing in gettisg out. The deceased
was fibout thirty years of age and has
been for a long time a ferryman plying
from the Market dock to the dock of the
cause -v ay opposite the city. .

A Park or Place of Resort Needed
Wilmington needs most sadly a public
park or place of resort, where those who
are compelled from sheer necessity to
toil from "early dawn to dewy eve," from
Monday morning until Saturday night,
m-.y. on Sunday afternoon, seek a little
recreation by a sniff of fresh air or at.
inhalation of the perfume of fragrant
flowers or plants while the eye rests upon
a change of scene not incident to the
regular routine of daily life. In the ab
sence of such a place, our Ceme
teries on Sundays are resorted te by
many of the tired denizens of city life, and
all theday long, on a fair Sunday, erowds
of people frequent the beautiful ground
of Oakdile. the nniet city of the dead, as
well as the adj iuiug Cemeteries that are
located in the suburbs of our city
Yesterday being one of those beautiful
mild days when all nature rejoices in tL
balmv sunshine of early springtime,
numerous were the persons who availed
themselves of the opportunity thus afford
ed by the beautiful weather of a stroll
throngh the grounds above mentioned
and in the woods adjoining where the
wild flowers are blossoming and blooming
in their prettiest attire.
