VOL. 2,: WILMINGTON, N. C, MONDAY, AUGUST
City Court.
The Mayor pro tern . had q uitc an inter-
csting session this morning in the way of
items for a reporter, there being no less
than three cases for His Honor s investi
gation, which were disposed of as folio wt:
The first case called was that of George
Reid, for cutting.Charlotte Haggie in the
arm with a pen knife on last Friday
evening, the trial (having been postponed
until this morning at defendant's request
on account of the absence of witnesses.
Thrcc-dirty looking ' wenches appeared as
witnesses for the prosecution, among them
Charlotte Haggie herself, and all testified
in substance as follows: That as Charlotte
UaSgicJ Dora Williams and Ktnma Hag
gie were walking down Front street, on
Friday afternoon, that the defendant,
George Reid, piadef some remark about
"there goes barefoot," which brought
about an altercation .between Charlotte
Haggie and George Reid, when ihe latter
drew his iicn knife and stabbed Charlotte
Haggie in the left arm, after having pre
viously cursed aifd. abused her. Some of
the defendant's witnesses testified that he
attempted to rid himself of the the women
by walking away from them, and that
ho was fallowed up by the women, who
crowded around him when he turned and
cut the woman Charlotte Haggie with his
nifo. None of the witnesses for the de
fense seemed to have any knowledge of
the commencement of the difficulty. The
Mayor pro tcm. pronounced judgment
gainst the defendant in the sttapc of a
fine of teti dollars or ten days imprison
ment. The parties to the difficulty are
all colored. i
The boy George Reid is the son of very
respectable colored parents, and the women
arc miserable, filthy, loose characters,
who arc said to spend ihe most of their
time on the streets, both day and night.
His Honor, no doubt, took all this into
consideration in rendering judgment.
The next case, was that of Fred Wil-
liamsj colored, t charged with creating a
disturbance on the, street and insulting
officer Greene of the nidit police force
whilo in the UivAiaio of LIo Uutjr. IVr
liams was arrested Saturday night by of
ficer Green ann taken to the guard house,
but was subsequently released on bail for
his appearance at the City iCourt this
morning. 1 ,
.... i '
Officer Greene testified on oath, that hj
had been complained to by several citi
zens, on Saturday night, prior to his mak-
g the arrestitbat Williams and his crowd
of stevedores, whom he was paying off on
Market street, were a nuisance, and that
he had notified the defendant twice before!
arresting him that he must keep quiet,
and that finally he ordered him to leave
Jbe street with hrs crowd, and that the dc
fedaut Tefuscd to obey,him, that he then
told him, if he did rot leave he would ar
rest him, that the defendant told him ho
couldn't arrest him, whereupon he placed
his haud in his collar and made the arrest.
Ben Williams and Funny Modre swora
in substance that Fred Williams' was not
akioii any noise and that when the po
liceman told h;m to consider himself un
der arrest that he'said all'right, ho would,
go with him, just let him put up his book.
Officer Greene, while Funny Moore was
Civm2 m ins testimony, assxu lcavo oi
Mayor to make a statement, which was
granted , when he tojd His Honor that he
had summoned the witness, Funny Moore
to assist in the arrest, and that he refused
by running oflj this the witness denied
stating that it was another man with a
white coat on. .
After hearing both sides' of the case,
His Honor asked the Chief andjCaptain of
the day police, if, the defendant had
ever been there before ; and was told that
he had not, whereupon, the Maypr pro
temp., after delivcrfngl a short lecture to
tho prisoner, in which he took occasion ten
speak of the efficiency of the policeman
who made the arrest, dismissed the case
with the admonition, however, that the de
fendant must never give occasion for an
other arrest.
The next case was Charles Davis, for
disorderly conduct. 'There being nq prose
cuting witnesees, the case was dismissed. I

lVo Tax on Paintings.
Mr. C. E. Burr, proprietor of Burr's
Oceanicon, is in receipt of a letter from the
State Treasurer in response to an enquiry
forwarded to the AtlorncyGcncral in re
ference to the tax on his exhibition, which
says that "Section S. Schedule, B. of the
Revenue Atft exempts from State and
County taxation, the exhibition of the
paintings mentioned." Mr. Harlow, Mr.
Burr's agent, had already paid; the tax to
the Register of Deeds and holds his re
ceipt therefor. He will at once make
application to have, the amount refunded.
Caught.
A man living in Paddy's Hollow has
had reason to suspect his wife of infi
delity to her marrirge vows and on yes
terday laid a trap to catch her. The un
suspected female and her paramour stcA
ped into it and were caught.! Just about
tbafc UU1U a "" mCSSUgU nuiu r;ciiwna niir
came for tho police stationed in the
Hollow, stating war Was goiug on and re
quired his instant attentiou. During the
absance of the police from the Hollow the
outraged husbaud laid kthe lash upon his
faithless Mother half." They were after
wards arrested and carried to the station
house to answer tu the charge of disorder
ly conduct.
A Hungry Thief. ,
Some time.betwccn 11 o'clock Saturday
night and early Sunday morning smc one
entered the grocery establishment .of Mr.
James C. Stevenson, on Maikct) street,
and after replenishing his dyspeptic
pocket-book and satiating his appetite
quietly left. An entrance into the estab
lishment was made by prizing of one of
the iron bars across the back window.
When admission had becu gained the
thief took a large fine looking ham and
i.i;n,l olirmt oo.mncVi ho. r.niild rori
sumc and left tho remainder on the coun-i
ten he then1 topped off with ' the candy
and oranges, which were near the front
window, lit a pigar, paid his respects to
the till and left the establishment. From
appearances it was one of the coolest and
boldest robberies we have ever heard of.
Mr. Stevenson's loss was light. The thief
was either frightened off or simply went
n for a square meal and a very httlc
pocket change. j
The Thermometer.
From the United States Signal Office at
this place we obtain the following report
of the thermometer, as taken this morn-
ins: !at 7:31 o'clock :
Augusta, 75; Cairo, 71; J Charleston,
81; Cincinnati, G8 ; Corsicana, 71; Fort
Gibson, 74 Galveston, 82 ; Indianola, 85;
Jacksonville, 81 ; Key W est, SI jKnoxvillc

THE PRESENT SUPERIORITY of
the age over the past is largely determined
by the excellence and cheapness of articles
of daily use. Among thesemust bo pre
ferred such a household boon ai Doolby's
Yeast Powdeb, which is the ruling
farorite with the public. The cans are
always full weight, and the powder itself
pure, strong and perfect in its adaptations
of use. -1

Store Robbed.
From a gentleman, just from Shelby, we
learn that the store of Messrs Suttle
Bostic Bros., was burglariously entered on
F iday night and tht thieves succeeded in
carrying off about $500 worth of goods.
There is no clue as to the perpetrators "of
the theft.
Fine Tobacco.
We were shown this morning a tobacco
leaf measuring 2 feet in length and
13 inches broad, raised on the plan
tation of Claus Schriver, Esq., on Stur
geon creek, about ten miles from the city.
It is said the leaf is not fully developed
as yet. Mr. Schriver has a field cultiva
ted in tobacco of which !the leaf is ; but
a sample; We think people : are begin
ning to learn that fine tobacco-can be
raised in the east.
Pender commissioners, i
The Board of County Commissioners for
Pender county met at Burgaw this morn-
rag. We have no advices of the proceed
ings as our informant left before' the
session had concluded, but it is more than
probable that they ill to-day proclaim
Burgaw as the county seat, and it is a?so
thought that they will at once make ar
rangements for the erection of a tempo
rary Court House building. They meet
again next Monday, tho session to-day
having been adjourned from a meeting
held last Monday at South Washington.
Watermelon Patch Robbed.
Thursday night last, John McKov
colored, living at Hilton, had his water
melon patch robbed of fifteen of the
choi est of his melons and on Friday night
he determined to Watch for his nocturnal
visitors. Armed with a sho gun and
followed by three .hounds he took his
"stand" under a tree near the patch, i He
had hardly seated himself when he heard
voices and the dogs commenced to bark.
Mclvoy saw three men crawl over the
fence and fired upon them. He ran them
for some time but they escaped through a
swamp. On going back to iho. fonra
see what- fEw. Li shot. -had. ho found -.a
black felt hat and a revolver (7 shots) on
the ground, which the thieves dronped on
their hasty retreat. They can obtain
them by calling on John and proving the
property. '
AboutiTlie Last of the Season.
The Whiting Rifles will give an excurr
sion to Smlthville and Bald Head on the
barge Modoc on Thursday next 80thihSt.
which will probably be about the last ex
cursion of the season.
During the last few days the Modoc Ikis
been made more comfortable by the ad
dition of a new awning covering the en
tire upper and lower decks, giving ample
room for four sets of dancers at a time on
each deck. ' The saloon is large and com
fortable, with state rooms opening into it
and a feature of this excursion wul be the
presence of a female servant to attend i to
their wants. Refreshments will be served
onboard at city prices, a good string
band will be taken along for the accom
modation of the dancers and every effort
will bo made to ensure , the comfort and
enjoyment of those whe arc present. The
i
price of tickets has been reduced, the i ob
ject of the company being to raise funds
for the purchase of uniforms.
