She is a gallant craft and she has had as gallant a commander as has ever trodden a deck on the Cape Fear. Mrs. 1). P. Bowers. The fame of this lady is so well established and so widely known that but little remains to be said. She is an accomplished artist and an elegant lady and our people will have a treat at the Opera House next Tuesday night, when she will appear as Elizabeth, in the well known tragedy of that name and of which the New York Graphic said: Mrs. D. P. Bowers was seen last evening at tne Jt ourteentn street Theatre in her well-known and powerfully dramatic impersonation of Queen Elizabeth. A role witn vihich she has been long identified, with one which is admirably adapt ed to give full play to her talent as an actress. Elizabeth is pictured to us in his tory as an ambitious and unscrupu lous sovereign, changeable in mood, suspicious of her ministers, and un relenting and unpitying in her hate. All these characteristics are power fully portrayed by Mrs. Bowers. She makes of her Elizabet h not a woman, but a king, and in the force of her anger and passion she is terrific. She is an exponent of the old school of acting, in which deliberateness of utterance and pomposity of rheto ric were deemed an essential qual ity. Yet in Mrs. Bowers' case this tendency does not appear to give such a strained and unnatural char acter to her interpretation as might be supposed. lied Riding Hood's Rescue. This attractive operetta was pre sented to a large and delighted audi ence at the Opera House last night by 75 children, assisted by a number of adult amateurs and directed by Miss E. A. Pond of Boston. The soloists in the different characters were as follows: Red Riding Hood, Lola Martin; Queen of the Fairies, Fanny Prit chard; Buttercup, Emma West; White Wings, Fanny Doyle; Violet, Lila Everett; Rose, Cora Peschau; Robin, Swift Boatwright; Brother, Rob Fowler; Roy, Arthur Myers; Harry, Pierre Harriss. The parts were all well taken and rendered in exquisite taste. We violate our custom regarding the efforts of home talent, which lias been to drav no comparison of the relative merits of those engaged. In the present instance, while all did remarkably well and reflected much credit upon themselves as well as upon their directors, we must say that Lola Martin, as Red Riding Hood, was superb and that Fanny Doyle, as White Wings, was nearly as good. The choruses were good and the entertainment was delightful. The work of the amateurs was well done and highly appreciated, as was also the skill of Prof. I. L. Greenwald, who presided at the piano between the acts. We are glad to learn that quite a handsome amount was rear ized from the entertainment, which will be turned over to the Ladies' Benevolent Society to be devoted by them to charitable purposes.

Onslow & East Carolina Railroad Company, was in conference yesterday with the Fi nance Committee of the Board of Aldermen with reference to the issue of $100,000 of city bonds in aid of the railroad. ll as agreed, alter discussion, to t a. : - . -. . . tave tne oondsiitnograpned atone in dominations of $500 and $1,000 eightyrthousand of the former and sixty thousand of the latter; the bonds to run thirty years, bearing interest at the rate of 6 per cent per annum. The city to be entitled to any premiums received. Judge Russell told the committee that the company desired to have the bonds execut ed and placed in the hands of some trust company who ould also hold the shares of stock to be issued for the bonds. Bonds to be delivered to the railroad com pany and stock to the city as the road is built, mile by mile, at the rate of $2,500 per mile; and when the bonds are delivered throutrh the trust company all over-due coupons to be cut off and cancelled. Mayor Fowler, chairman of the committee, suggested that it would be necessary to appoint three trus teess at the next meeting of the Board. Judge Russell said that that would necessitate the delivery of the bonds direct to the railroad company; but this they did not wish. The compa ny did not want the bonds delivered to them until the work was done, although under the act they could demand them without this restric tion. The Judge said further, in re lation to the election on subscrip tion, that a question had been raised as to the validity of the election. It was to the company's interest to have this matter settled, as they did not want any taint on the bonds; but on the other hand they did not want delay; they wanted to avoid that if possible. The Board of Al dermen had decided that the elec- i tion was valid. City Attorney Cutlar, who was present at the conference, was ask ed his views. He said it was a mat ter upon which opinions differed. A great deal might be said on each side. He was inclined to believe that it would have been better to have held the election under the old registration. It was suggested by Alderman Fishblate, of the Finance Commit tee, and admitted by Mr. Cutlar, that the same difference of opinion might have arisen as to the validity of the lection if it had been held under the old registration. Judge Russell said that under the General Election law, the city au thorities had the power to order a new registration whenever they saw fit, citing sections 2625 and 3793 of the Code. Alexander Jones. This is not the name of a minister, lawyer, edifor, doctor, politician or noted criminal, but it belongs to one of the finest, staunchest, most pow erf nl and best equipped steam tugs ever seen on the waters of the Cape Fear. We have spoken of her in previous issues and we paid her a brief visit this morning as she laid a short time at her wharf at the foot of Market street. She is indeed a magnificent craft and she has superb sea-going qualities. Her engine is of 160 horse-power, "and the entire length of the tug is 10G feet by 22 feet beam, with a draft of 9 feet when loaded. She is 125 tons burth en and she can make 14 knots an hour easily. Since, her arrival here she has been fitted with - two masts and supplied witli. the necessary sails for the same. In all her ap pointments she is as solid and sub stantial as oak and iron can make her. She is commanded by Capt. J- W. Haper, who left with her for Southport at 10 o'clock this forenoon and she will now run regularly as a tug boat. See the Othello Range at Jacobfs Hdw. Depot.

We clip the following from this week's issue of the Statesville Land mark: Mr. Edwin Borden and Mrs. Octa via Wallace, both of Wilmington, were married this morning at the residence of Dr. L. Harrill, on Davie avenue. Rev. Dr. Wood, pastor of the Presbyterian church, performed the ceremony, and soon thereafter Mr. and Mrs. Borden left, via Char lotte, for Wilmington. Mr. Borden is train dispatcher at that xoint for the Atlantic Coast Line. His bride, second daughter of the late Jos. W. Stockton, Esq., was born and reared here, and has been spending the summer with her sister, Mrs. Dr. Harrill. She is one of the loveliest of characters and has all her life held a high place in the affections of the people of Statesville. She is a true and noble woman and if Mr. Borden is worthy of her (and we have no doubt he is) then he is all that a gentleman should be. IN MKMORIAM. Departed this life, Sept 25th, 1887, Mug. Lil lian Colvin, only daughter of Jas. P. and Mary E. Moore, and wife of Jas. H. Colvin, in the 30th year of her age. Nature is changeful, God eternal. The grain germinates, matures and deeays for a resur rection of renewed life; the forests and valleys are verdurous and sere; the roses bloom and wither; mountains arise amidst the watery waste and the billows roll where once was arid land; but the spirit which brightens the stars ana penumes me vioiet ana gives law to tne universe, breathing into man's nostrils the breath of life, has made him a living soul. ; He lays aside the most exquisite mechanism of animated nature for Immortality, but while here his destiny is that of the withering: leaf and the ripe fruit rolling to its f all. We need not tne sentence uoratian to assure us that death does Indeed knock with equal and unerring iootstep at tne numoie cottage ana tne palaces of kings. Every day we especially, whose duty it is to arrest or aeiay nis coming, oenoia his track and hear his summons. One falls full of years and achievements, another at the very dawn of life. Another yet like the full blown queen of the garden ruthlessly uprooted and scattered by the sudden blast. Here palsied is tne pen or tne immonai scnoe; mere expires tne statesman amiast tne applause oi listen ing Senates: and here, soiled with noble dust. lies the patriot hero, dying with the light of victory in eyes dimmed with glorious tears and ears ringing with the war song of his country. Happy they to whom- the summons brinsrs no terror! Thrice haoov to whom the pallid messenger is an angel in disguise call ing to me dussiui rewaras oi a wen spent cniistian me. - Mrs. coivin was not one in whose death we have no consolation. Incon solable we should be, for our loss ls irrepara ble, but that her life was such as to Inspire in us the strongest hope and faith that our loss Is her gain of heaven's own blissful beatitude. Descended from a family honored in this sec tion since tne revolution, "Liny Moore ' as they who knew her well endearingly loved to call her, was in all the virtues and graces that make mat character an incomparable woman. Sweet she was and gentle. 4 'sister-like and ser viceable,' as Tennyson says of the favorite heroine of his Idyls; personally handsome and mentally superior, her greatest charm was that gentle sweetness, that endearing amia bility and gracious humility of mind and man ner which would have inspired any knightly man ofanclent or modern days "to have died the death in any knightly fashion for her sake." She was loved and deserved to be. She was a general favorite and younger ladles in stinctively regarded her as a model, the mir ror in which to array themselves for lives of affection and usefulness. WeU educated at Peace Institute, she took much pleasure In lit erary discussions and rehearsals. She was a natural and most gracious leader in social gatherings. Ah, can thy friends ever forget thee?
