The revenue cutter, Colfax, which arrived at Southport this forenoon with about 80 bales , of cotton jetti soned frpnl the Brl steamship "4? bany, reported, the latter at anchor off Cape . Fear bar. The Albany and the Colfax came up from Little River in company last night, but, the weather being" thick and stormy, the cutter could not cross the bar until daylight. JThe Colfax : and the. tugs Jones and Blanche jiulled on the steamer for .some hours and finally succeeded in floating her shortly after high water yesterday (Saturday) afternoon.- The Albany is a large steamer of 1, 630 tons. She was fortunate in getting assistance so promptly. Had she remained on the bar at Little River a few hours longer; sDe wonldi have received serious damage. The Col fax had an officer and party of men on board nearly all day, assisting in lightering the vessel. The steamer and cargo are valued at $400,000. Later Jan. 27th 7:35 p. m. Br. steamer Albany has left her anchor age supposed for Newport' News or Norfolk. D'Artagnan,,tlie Young Gascon. That delightful and daptivating hero of Alexandre Dumas' "Three Musketeers" has been transferred to the stage with signal success by that admirable romantic actorYMr. Frank Mayo. The critics bestowT unstinted praise upon he ' performance " in which Mr. Mayo wins distinction as dramatist and actor as Charles Fechter did in the first successful production of Dumas Monte Crista. The "Royal Guard" is the title of Mr. Ma's dramatization. A change has been made in the third act to afford opportunity for additional pictorial display. The scene now lies in "Calais" and Mr"Seavey, the scenic artist and his assistants, have completed from designs an elaborate set for this act, showing the town and port of Calais at night with' the old inn in the foreground and Buck ingham's ship at anchor. The set will occupy the entire stage and another -fine stage picture is the Porte St. Leon, with a distant view of oldParis. The cabin of Buckingham's ship is also by Seavey; The work requires a strong company. The organization will number 25. Mr. Edmund Collier, who starred here last winter as Virginius and Jack Cade, will play Athos, the Guards man, and the .three female leading characters, Lady De Winter, Anne of Austria, and pretty Constance have able and fitting representatives. Fatal Accident. . About 8 o'clock last night as Mc FadyenV flat, with another one lashed longside, was drifting down the Cape Fear, impelled by the strong freshet that prevailed, and when near Pridgen's - Landing, it struck a dead tree" which was across the pathway of the boat. The tree fell and in its descent struck Isaac Jones, of Goldsboro, who was one of the crew of the boat, and it was thought for a time that the man had been knocked overboard and either killed or drowned. He was found, however, shortly after in the cabin of the flat, whither he had been precipitated by the bloAV, in a most deplorable condition. His left thigh and right -leg were broken, and there were severe contusions on his head and face.. The steamer Cape Fear, Capt. Tomlison, soon came along and owing to the em ergency of the case, and the need of obtaining surgical assistance as quickly as possible, took the suffer er on board to bring him to this "city but he died when opposite Point Peter before reaching here. The remains were turned overj to the Coronor. who after viewing the body ordered them to be interred at the expense of the county. The de ceased was about 25 years of age. . A Hard Customer. . - L - r A colored man was arrested last Saturday-night on suspicion of be ing a chicken thief, as t wo of that species of poultry were found in his possession. He was lockeil up; until his case could be investigated and at the hearing before the Myor this; morning he became .so'bellicose and insulting to the Court and pronoun- . i a ? ceu sucri uire vengeance upon tne oner who caused his arrest, - tliat,-it was thought advisable to lock him up again and he-was- accordingly sent below tp cool off. - Death of MaJJohn W. BonMm. -We are' again, called 'upon to chronicle the death of another prom inent citizen, Major John W. Dun ham, which took place in this city on yesterday morning at 4. 15 o'clock: Major Dunham was a native, Wil; mingtonian, having been, born in this town in 1842, and consequently was.in the 47th year of his age. He was the son of the late Mr. Samuel W. Dunham, an old and highly re spected citizen who died here about four years ago. ... . , , - Shortly after his maturity, Major JJunham removed to Wilson, in this piate UfUu wmiuvuutju. ,nie practice of the law and while engaged in the duties' of his profession the war broke out, when he immediately gave up his business and joined the Fourth Regiment North Carolina State troops, the late distinguished Brigadier General George B. Ander son being Colonel, fie wa terribly wounded at the battle of Seven Pines, in fact entirely disabled from further service in the army, and was compelled to return home with a shattered constitution and was a cripple for the remainder of his life. After the war had closed he was elected to the Senate of North Car olina, representing the counties of Wilson, Nash and Franklin. It was an exciting time in the history of the State. The Governor, f I olden, was impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors and Major Dunjiam, with Gov. Bragg and other promi nent gentlemen, appeared for the prosecution and secured the convie tion of Holden and his removal from office, thereby disqualifying him from holding any office of honor and trust in North Carolina for all time to come. How ably Major Dunham sustained himself in that memorable trial is known of all men and the records give abundant evidence. - He edited for a time a newspaper in Wilson and for a short period one in Raleigh also, but his failing health compelled him to retire from that laborious work and he return- ed to Wilmington to spend the re mainder of his days amidst the scenes and the friendsxf his youth. When our Criminal Court was es tablished he was elected by the Legislature its Clerk, which position he held continuously until the day of his death, discharging its duties with great acceptability to, all who had business with that tribunal. -Major Dunham was a man of far more than ordinary intelligence,had read much and was blessed with a very retentive memory; was a gal lant soldier and a . high-tonedgen-tleman, loyal to his friends, ah af fectionate brother and a dutiful and loving son. For more than a quar ter of a century he had been a great sufferer from the wounds received in defence of that cause which, in hisinmost soul, he believed to be right, but- scarcely a murmur es caped him. He was at his post at all times, though racked with pain incessantly, until nature finally suc cumbed and with a firm and ex pressed belief in the mercies of the Saviour he yielded up his spirit without fear and In the blissful hope of a glorious immortality, y ; The obsequies of the lamented deceased wre held. at the residence of his -tester, Mrs. H. B. Jewett, on Princess street, at noon to-day. Rev. Robert Strange, rector of St. James Church, officiated.- A-the conclusion of the services , the re mains were conveyed to Oakdale Cemeteryfor interment, followed by a' large procession of relatives and friends. Judge O. P. Meares and Capt. S." W; Vick were honorary pall bearers, while the following gentle men constituted the regular pall bearers: Col. B: R. Moore, Maj. T. D. Love, Capt. Chasv D. Myers and Messrs. Walker Meares, A I vis Walk er and J. B. Hanks. , " VW atsweaMaWBiagsswB!saasBagM38gsg The cold wave signal was flying this morningahd there is not a doubt that it meant business, for it has been growing colder all day.

There will also be glass ships and a cradle with a baby iii it all made of the same brittle material. The enter tainment will close next Saturday. It is an exhibition well worth seeing anctSve hope that all who can will avail themselves of the opportunity thus offered of seeing what skill and science can, do. The Late Mr. Wilkin Roddick. .
