Sad Fate of Willi Frrow Narrow lcape ofTiroOtheri, Willie Farrow, aged about seven teen years, was drowned Monday fore noon about 10 o'clock, off Mason boro beach. The young man and Messrs. C. C McKinney and John Farrow, the latter of whom is no relation of the former's; went over the inlet early in the morning, in a whale boat, to for th'A market. About 9 o'clock out about three orlfour ihev noticed heavy cloud coming up and they consequently set sail for shore. When about a mile or more away from shore, a squall struck them with sail spread, capsizing the boat. All three of the fishermen could swim, but Messrs. McKinney and John Farrow were expert swimmers and doubting whether young Farrow was able to make" shore, they advised him to cling to the boat while they would swim in and return with another boat to pick him up. All three divested themselves of their clothing, and the two men leaving the young man cling ing to. the boat, struck out for biiorc. Thejoung man doubtless feeling alarmed at being abandoned to his fate, also made up his mind to attempt to swim ashoro and he foliowedthe two men. Af ter1desperately-battling with the heavy seas the latter reached the shore and looked back after their companion. They watched him with much anxiety manfully struggling in the heavy seas, bat they finally saw him suddenly rise on a capper and then disappear. They watched to see him rise again, but .were dismayed to see that he was no where to be seen. The two men then reported the oc currence along the mainland and a sharp look out was kept in the event it would come last accounts, however, nothing bad been seen cf it The boat, bottom up, drifted ashore. later in the day, and was picked up on the lower end of Wrightsville Beach, near Masonboro inlet. - j . ,The young man who was drowned was the son of Mr. Jesse Farrow, de ceased, and with the two men who saved' themeelves, was a resident of Masonboro township. . Another Uorclary. , - - The kitchen of Mr. James M. Carat ney, adjoining his residence on Eighth street, between Wooster arid Qaeen was entered yesterday morning about 1 o'clock by a thief who stolo every thing the larder contained, not even leaving enough for a breakfast for the family. The scamp forced the kitchen window,7 and thus gained entrance. There is no cluo as to the guilty party. There are many property owners who never aid or contribute anything to public enterprises, having for their object tho building up of the city and the increase in valuation of their prop erty, leaving the more public-soirited and enterprising to bear the buidon; That class can best be r.-ached by a contribution from the city , vhich how ever slight, puts a small tax on the property to be benefitted. Steamship Fanita. The steamer Fanita, Captain Nor ton, was cleared yesterday by Mr. H. G. Smalibones, agent, for New York, Her cargo consisted of 41 bales cotton, 3 casks spirits turpentine, 293 barrels rosin, 204 barrels tar, 20 kegs tar. 12 bundles lightwood, 17 bags peanuts, 1 package merchandisejlOCOO shingles and 22,995 feet of lumber. Round Trip Rates to Columbu. , The Atlantic Coast Line has made the following rates to Columbus, Ohio, on the occasion of the National en campment of the Grand Army of the Republic, next week: Wilmington. $21.35; Weldon $18.80; Fayetteville $19.95; Goldsboro $20.70: Tarboro $20.80; Florence, S. C., $21.00; Charles ton, S. C, $21.85. They Beat Their Kceord. . The Wilmington Hook and Ladder Company in their practice ybsterday, made the quickest time they have ever done heretofore. When the gong was sounded the horses got to their places and the harness was adjusted on them n ten seconds. This beats all previous records. Cargo of Lumber. The schooner Lizzie May, Captain Hutchinson, was cleared vestardav bv Messrs. L.h. Barker & Co., for oort Haytien, Hayti She carries a cargo of 174,774 feet of pitch pine lumber) shipped -by Messrs. Jas. H. Chadbourn & Co. The Circus a Coming. Shelby's Great Golden Shows will exhibit in Wilmington October 27th.

The Ladies Christian Union Asso ciation will meet at the First Baptist Church this evening at 6 o'clock. Prr firing for Freh-ALr Excursion. The ladies in charge of the fresh air excursions are now actively canvass ing the city for those most in need of the benefits of next Tuesday's excur sion. The fund, as it new stairfe, can, oily accomodate a li m i ted n n ruber, aud those most needy wiUrof coarse, get the benefit otSheixut exeursion. It is proposed to serve a dinner for all at theBench, and as it is not -feasible iave the dinner provided there, the ladies request that all who feel so dis posed wiil send to the wharf ' of the steamer Sylvan Grove next Tuesday morning, not later than 9 o'clock. such eatables as would be suitable for & picnic dinner, Cold ham, chickens, bread, milk, pickles and such other provisions as are apppropriate will be thankfa.lv received. The boat will leave promptly at 9:30 and, all who will contribute," should arrange to have their contributions on hand at au early hour Tuesday. ; - i More'money'contributions are needed an4 the Messenger would bo glad to acknowledge a snmcient amount to enable the ladies to eive at least 500 of our poor a pleasant journey and good dinner. ' ' JWitb proper efforts and an attrac- u vo, programme, sou eneciiveiy aa vertised, it 13 fair to assume that 20, 000 to 25,000 people would be brought here during the six days of gala week. it iney wouia spena iu each on an average, they would leave $200,000 in our midst more than the total profits on our cotton receipts for one year amount to. The additional taxes the city would realize from the increase in the trade of our merchants would more than doubly reimburse the city the $o00 donation asked for, which like bread cast upon the wafers would thus come back. Does not the end justify tho means? m . Fan at the Hammocks. Mr. W. A. Br van. annonces that there will be another clay pigeon shooting tournament at the Hammocks on Thursday afternoon- next, under the rules and conditions as the , one of last Friday. The first prize is an English breech-loading shot-gun, am the "booby" prize will be exhibited on the grounds at the time of the shoot ing. In the afternoon there will be a splendid dinner and fishing. At nigh there will be roller-skating in the pa vilion. Saturday afternoon there will be a Rhode Island clam bake at the Island Beach hotel; followed with sock-races greased pig chase (the winner to have the pig) and greased pole climbing lhe prize for the latter will be a $2 bill on tip ot the pole. This is an at tractive programme. iuiines Meeting of the Y. MC A. The Young Men's Christian Associa tion held their regular monthly busi ness meeting last night at the hall of the Wilmington Library Association. There was a large attendance of the members, and Mr. Geo. M. Basey, the recently elected general Secretary of the Association , waspresent to assume his duties. The proceedings of the meeting were of a merely routine na ture, beyond the fact of the election of four active members and forty two sustaining members. The Wilmincton Library to Chacge Hands. The Wilmington Library Associa tion has offered their extensive,, Ji- hrary and fixtures for sale to the Young Men's Christian' Association of this city.

To-morrow forenoon, at 11 o'clock, e Gala Week Association will Hold their ad journed meeting in the dining room at tne Urton and take some decided steps with reference to the gala week which it is proposed to have in Wilmington October 22d, 23J, 24th, 25th,26th and 27th. It is specially important, therefore, that the several committees be ready to report, and be Ibn hand to organize for business. We are requested by the chairman, in this connection, to request the members of the Transportation Committee to meet promptly at the office of Mr. C. B. Mallett, on North Water street, at C o'clock this evening. This Committee is charged with securing low rates of fare to the city fro in the railroad and steamboat lines, and since theirs is so important-"a duty, it is urgently re quested that the members be cn hand promptly at the hour named. It transpires, now that the time set for the gala week was most happily chosen, as foitnnately the dates do not conflict with any of the fairs or entertainments in other cities, viz: the North Carolina State Fair which meets in Raleigh October 16th-19th, the Goldsboro Fair October 9-12th, the Weldon Fair October 30th-November 5th, Rocky Mount Fair November 14- 16th, the South Carolina State Fair at Columbia November 12-16th and Char lesion's gala week November 19th-24th. Already the talk about our gala week can be beard throughout the country, and it is hoped the meeting to-morrow will resolve to make a big affair of it. Mayor's Court. There was a considerable attendance of spectators, and a docket with six cases on it to confront the Mayor at his Court yesterday morning. They were disposed of as follows : Jack Williams alias Jack Shaw, charged with the larceny' of $10, ac quitted as to that charge and held for resisting an officer. Silas Cranberry charged with being drunk and disorderly was fined $10. L. Perkins, colored, assault and bat tery with a deadly weapon, bound over in the sum of $100 for trial at the ap proaching term of the Criminal Court. Sam Patrick, colored, who got drunk and made it warm for his step son, and who only gave as his excuse for doing so, that he was "jestizing hi m," ' was asked the sum of $20, or given tho al ternative of thirty days Lewis Perkins, charged with viola ting the sanitary law, was fined $5. His offense consisted m allowing a barrel of slop to fall off his dray in front of Capt. Southerland's stables, and failing to cover up or disinfect the same. John Davis, colored, who stole two pairs of shoes, a pair of pants and a coat from some hands working on the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley exten sion, was proven guilty, but held in order to ascertain in which county the deed was committed. There is'every reason to belieye that iuiiy $ou,uuu was leic m mis cny oy 11 ATrt fff J.fi ! il ' .1 the 8,000 visitors to the State Encamp ment, the fact notwithstanding that the Encampment was held nine miles from the city. It was also during the dull season when money with the firming classes especially, is very scarce, and many had had to deny themselves the pleasure of visiting us, who would srladly do so in October. A guccessful gala week ought to bring $200,000 to Wilmington. Is it not worth while trying for J Tlebre-w New Tear Services. The Hebrew New Year 5&9, will be inaugurated this evening at 6 o'clock and will be commemorated by services at the Jewish Synagogue. The Rabbi, Dr. Mendelsohn, will preach a sermon appropriate to the event, and will be assisted by the choir under the leader ship of Mrs. M. S. Cushing and Mrs. W. fl. McFarlane. Services will also be held to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock. The greatest good to be gained by a successful gala week would be the ex tensive and effective advertising the festival would give to "Wilmington. Not alone would the press boom our city, but the whole country would be directed to our enterprising efforts and the thousands of people who tfould visit nere wouia aouDuess do so pleasantly impressed with our city and its surroundings and attractions, that they would go to their homes loud in their praises and induce others to visit ns.

The steamer Enterprise arrived from Black Biyer with 8 casks 'spirits " tnr- psntine, 39 barrels tar, and 30 barrel crnie turpentine. Mrs. II. H. Jewett'a lie moral. The millinery and fancy goods es tablishment of Mrs. H. B. Jewett has removed from the corner of Front and Princess streets to the first store room in the new Smith building, on Princess street. Mrs. Jewett'a new quarters ire splendidly located and amongst the handsomest business rooms in the city, and fitted np in a style that will delight Mrs. Jewett's numerous , lady patron age, whilst reflecting much credit upon her own taste and business enterprise.1 Mrs. Jewett will tro .North in alew" days for the selection and jiurcnase oi her fall stock of the latest styles m all tertainin!r tocher line, the arriTal and bpeningof which will make her splendid new store one of the most at tractive places in the city for the ladies. The gala week programme contem plates a "Merchants Day" for Thurs day, the 25th of October, for which occasion the railroads will De urged to put on special low rates to all holding regular invitations. A moon-f light excursion down the river wroulcl be eiven complimentary to the busi-'4 ness men of North and South Carolina by the wholesale merchants of Wil mington. This would prove a very important feature of the gala week, and our wholesale dealers would doubtless make the most of the oppor tunity to snread and increase their trade, and again the city exchequer would continue" to be enriched as pne of the results of the gala week.
