This morning about 2 o'clock as Mr.
Talbot Lashley.' a well known young
man, of this city, aged about 19, was
passing along East ' Davie street, in a
locality known as East Raleigh, he Was
rudely run against by an unknown man.
Lashley knocked , the man down, who,
after falling drew" a pistol and shot the

Report of Dr.; F.- W. Potter, showing
81 deaths during the month of June 18
whites and 18 colored a much smaller
number than had been recorded for the
same month in several years was read
and commented f upon by Aldermen
Post and Fishblite and the Mayor,
as . showing' - that the city was
in"" a -cleanly and healthy condi
tion. Mr. Pst stated that the
deaths in une. 1891, were 04 more
than double the number during the
past month a fact showing that the
"city was in good sanitary condition,
and fully refuting the idea that Wil
mington wns unhealthy. The Mayor
thought that for the amount allowed to
be expended for sanitary . purposes-.-$7,500
it was a remarkably good
showing.
The Mayor stated that bids had beea
received for laying a concrete pave
ment in Front street market house, but
for certain reasons he thought it ad
visable that they should not be opened
for the present. .- j ;. ,. - f
A motion by Alderman Fowler, to
defer action on the bids was adopted. ;
Alderman Fowler called attention to
the condition of South Water street be
tween Dock and Orange, where the
track of the street railway (the "dummy
line) diverted j water that j flowed down
from Front street during heavy rains
into private property. j J
Alderman Ppst' said that during the
absence of Mayor Ricaud his attention
had been called by Messrs. Robinson $
King to the same trouble ;at the toot ot
.Orange 'streetJ-. I' 1
Mayor Ricaud said he took it for
granted that the railway company had
not provided gutters oi icapacity suffi
cient to carry off water under its track
on Water street. Complaint, he said.
had also been jnade about trouble dur
ing heavy rains at Mulberry and North
Water streets. If it was not attended to
promptly, he would take steps to have
the track torn up. " . . )
A motion that the Chairman of the
Streets and Wharves Committee give
immediate attention' to these complaints
was adopted. ' "
Alderman Walker called attention to
the bad condition of Fourth street be
tween Red Cross and Campbell, and this
matter was discussed for a short time,
when, on motion, the meeting adjourned.

sponse by Mn M. S. WHard.
After the presentation speeches, the
Commodore of the Club, Mr. George P.
Kidder, addressed the audience in a
very graceful and feeling manner, call
ing attention1, to the fact that the Hon.
Zebuloh B. Vance and wife were
sojourners nt our seashore, and that as
,his was one of the first public assemt
blages of representative citizens . which
had , occurred since their arrival, he
thought , the time auspicious for the

invited ' guests here assembled, to ex
press jthe great veneration ' and love in
which our people hold the Sena
tor, and to assure him of the' pleasure
that we find in his presence here at
Wrightsville, as well as our earnest hope
for his speedy recovery. The, Common
dore then said that feeling assured that
these sentiments would find a responsive
echo in the hearts of every man, lady
and child present, he had taken the
liberty of inviting a member of the Club
to draft suitable resolutions, embodying
these sentiments, and thereupon intro
duced Mr. Iredell Meares. i

and they were unanimously and cordial
y passed by a rising vote. The resolul

Lecture ' at the Y. M. C,
V - . IiaBt Evening. - ' ;-
The rain which visited the city cooled
the atmosphere to a delightful tempera
ture, making the weather far.more pro
pitious for the occasion of .the lecture
by Rey.' Thos. Dixon, Jr.; at the Y. M.
C. A. Hall last evening.' ,
Ti A large and select audience greeted
this distinguished divine and "lecturer
and were most delightfully entertained.
; ,Rev.. Dr. Pritchard, in his usual hapr
py style introduced him; referring to the
fact that he is a son of North Carolina,
and that of his brothers Frank, now
preaching in California, A. C. Dixon, a
pastor in Brooklyn, and "Tom" as he
is familiarly known the Old North
State has just cause to be proud.
" Mr. Dixon then : by r way of preface
said he was - always glad - to be in Wil
mingtonwas proud of the fact that he
is a North C-aroitnian-r-and: "that that,
very fact was the root of the recent per
sonal difficulties in New York city.; , In.
North Carolina he had learned old fash
ioned notions about honor integrity and
honesty; that a thief is a thief anywhere,
and in whatever station of life, but in
New York it is not so regarded.; In
North Carolina if a man is guilty of mal
feasance ' in office he is put in the peni
tentiary; in New Yorfe' he is promoted
with an increase of salary. .
He then announced his subject,. "The
Almighty Dollar," and for nearly two
hours held his audience, within his
power, as he swayed them with pathos,
humor, argument and illustration, often
drawing forth bursts of applause. He
discussed -the subiect trbm Robinson's
theory of truth, i. e. that "truth is the
result of the component parts of two
antithetic propositions,' and from this
drew the contrast between money' as
the strongest and the weakest power on
earth. , ;
It is impossible for want of space to
give a satisfactory report of the admira
ble and masterly manner with which he
handled his subject. -His powers are
grand, and as he speaks his wbrds seem
to come spontaneously from a soul that
is aflame with the thoughts which seem
to crowd and press for utterance. The
audience was delighted, and when with
one sublime sweep of oratory he closed
with a peroration that seemed to almost

That appreciating that the ill health
of our Senator is largely due to the
great overstrain ot his unwearied,
steadfast, long and- patriotic service to
our country, State and national, we are
the more sympathetic and concerned in
his even temporary indisposition, and
earnestly hope that he may find at our
seashore perfect recuperation,' and re

energy, to the labors of his ever-widening
field of public usefulness, i
That proud of his surpassing abilities
and great public services, which have re
flected honor , upon our beloved State
and made him the foremost Carolinian
of his day, yet in common with all North
Carolinians, we feel more endeared to
him by those noble qualities of heartjand
soul which have brought his life in won

of our oeoole. and made his name an af
