Run Over by a Dray. i This mornins during the alarm of lire a little colored boy aboiit 10 years of age was run over by" a dray at the intersec tion of Front and' Market streets. The dray was drawn by the horse belonging to the Hook and Ladder .Company and the animaf was making all possible speed. to cct to the truck house at the time of the accident. Mr. Edward Griffith, ihe driver, saw the boy when too late to stop his horse but shouted for him! to get out of the way. No blame 1 can be attached to anv One. The child was carried to i i the office of Dr. W. J. Love who after a hasty examination thinks there are no internal injures or bones broken. A wound near the little boys' hjipj caused by the tire of the wheel, was dressed and the child sent home to its! motner 'who re sides on Market, between Eighth and Ninth streets. ' r .r , . -'".'. WILMINGTON, N. C, MONDAY, APRIL 22, City Court. Mayor Fishblate had an interesting session of the City Court tbia morning. there being no less than s?x cases before this tribunal for trial. The first case called was that of Mary RadclifTe, colored, who was arraigned for disorderly conduct in Brooklyn on Satur day night. Iu this case there were as many as six witnesses pro and con. The Mayor after hearing all the evi dence, decided to stand by the testimony of the State witness, Officer G. W. Davis, who made the arrest and pronounced sen tence of $5 and costs. From this decision the -defendant took an' appeal to the Criminal Court and gave a justified bond in the sum of $50 forj her appearance a that time. j I Alice Beatty, a colored damsel , was the next case on docket, charged with be having disorderly on the streets. There being some mitigating circumstancos con nected with this woman's conduct, the Mayor told her she might go in peace this time. I C. Fuller, a white sailor boy of some eighteen summers belonging on the Br. Barque George Davit, was arraigned for being drunk and down on the street. The policeman who made the arrest testified that the defendant gave no trouble until he reached the. Guard House, when he resisted being put in the cell and also tried to prevent their taking his sheath knife from him. The Mayor fined him $5 or five days in the City Prison. Scipio HM1, colored, a poor, unfortunate fellow who has too much of a weakness for the ardent, was brought before the Mayor, charged with having too heavy a load on, which caused him ;to fall asleep in the street on Saturday night. When asked by the court it he hadn't been there before, Scip., with true frankness, said, "yes sir, but not in a long time. In consideration of which His Honor gave him only two days in the city prison to cool oft" on. We could have wished that the Mayor had been a little more, indulgent to Scip., inasmuch as he is such a quiet, inof fensive creature,-and this being the first time he has transgressed in so long a lime. But! still. Scip. said "Thank you sir," seeming! to think that he got off pretty light, which caused the audience to smile quite audibly and the couit likewise, if we mistake not. But the occasion for merriment, which required all the exertions of the officers ol j the court to keep down, was whentbe Clerk called the name of Pompey Sneed. In response to this call a live looking being clad in woman's attire, with a white sheet wrapped around its waist, with two long, black bare feet protruding from under its skirts, a white head-handkerchief around its head to hide the color of its wool where the "har ought to grow," its face whitened all over with Hour, except here and there where the flour had dropped off and the black skin was visible, presented itself at i the bar of the couit. Officer G. W. W. Davis be5,ig .sworn, testified as follows: On Sunday night, be tweev 10 and 11 o'clock, between Castle and Church streets, in the neighborhood of what is known as the Long House, some thing passed and repassed him two or three times which looked; like a woman, and that the third lime that he was passed by this object, he discovered as he looked back over his shoulder that the creature was dressed in woman's clothes with his fact whitened with flower; and supposing it to be a man in a woman's garb Le made the arrest, and brought the culprit to theguaid house. Tbe Court then addressed the ob ject at the bar and asked what it had to sy. Immediately its lips parted and it talked almost like a human in response to the Mayor's question, except that it said "Nuttin," meaning, we suppose, nothipg. The Mayor then had his say, and he said $50 fine or 30 days in prison. The next case called was a young white lad, 14 or 13 years of age, arrested for being drunk anddpwn. His defense was that some doctor gave luni some Scheidam Snapps on Sunday, .which made him sick 'ohis stomach and caused his head to swim so bad that he fell asleep in the street. His Honor permitted him to depart this time without punishment, but warned him not to appear there again in like cir cumstance. I ' This finished the business of the Court for the day. ' Commencement Exercises. ; The commencement exercises at the University of North Carolina will take place on Wednesday and Thursday, the 5th and Oth of June next, on which occa sion a ball, complimentary to the class of 1878, will be given. We tender our thanks to the committees for an invitation to at tend both. ; - pee new advertisements on fourth page Easter Dajr. The Easter services held in the Roman Catholic, Episcopalian and Evangelic Lutheran Churches yesterday and last tvening were very largely attended. The day was as bright and beautful as the gladdest heart in the many gald bosoms in this city could have desired. The sun shown in a clear sky and tbe atmosphere was balmy and ordorous with! the thou sands offlowers which adorn the many beautiful gardens in our handsome little city. j- -' - At St. James' early iur the morning the children ushed in the day by an v Easter Card, sttngirotn ihe . top of the bellHower of the church.' Their sweet young votees rang far and wide and a large numbers of persons collected in the street, below to hear and enjoy the happy sounds. In ths forenoon, at this church, the regular ser vices were held and in the afternoon there was a children's service; when every avail able seat in the church was filled. . The church, as is usual there on such occa sions, was beautifully adorned with a pro fusion of flowers arragncd by the fair hands of the ladies of the congregation. At St. John's the first general service was held at 11 o'clock, followed by a choral service arranged expressly for the Sunday School children of the parish in the afternoon and regular evening services at night. The floral adornments in St. Johns were very handsome, the altar, chancel,! choir, pulpit, reading desk and lectern 'groaning beneath a wealth of beauty and fragrance. Tho services in the afternoon, for the children, were L specially interesting, and on this occasion the various classes carried up their Easter offerings and placed them in the hands of the Superintendent, Mr. T. C. DeRosset, who announced the various amounts as they were received. Each class also car ried up a floral letter which Mr. DeRosset placed, one by one, on wires suspended for the purpose, the whole forming the sentence "Jesus Lives I Allelulia.1" As in St. James' the offerings received from the children. aggxegaiecLay-h and tarpe sum. The fact is the more' appreciable when it is understood that these offerings were the result of the savings .and self-denials practised by the little ones during the long Lenten feast. At St. Thomas' Church, there were also handsome 1 decorations, the services for this occasion, in the Roman Catholic Church the most joyful in the whole cal-j endar, having been of a beautiful charac ter, and tendered with the fervor and im pressiveness suitable to the occasion. The congregations at ail of the services were very large. St. Paul's (Lutheran) Church was also beautifully adorned with flowers and evergreens in the chancels and windows. The altar was untouched but behind it there was displayed a large and beautiful cross and crown made of evergreens. Dr. Bernheim preached in the forenoon in English and at night in German. St. Paul's, the modest little Episcopal Church on the corner of Orange and Fourth streets, was also fulled with large and devout congregations, both at morn ing and evening services. The fair hands of the ladies of the congregation had ad- ded their share to the oceaaion as . was witnessed by the profusion of floral dec orations everywhere. The colored Episcopalians in the city, their neat little church, St. Marks, corner of Sixth and Mulberry streets, rendered all . honor to the day. The church was handsomely adorned and the services, conducted by the midister, Rev. C. 0. Brady, were beautiful and im pressive and attended by full congrega tions. : We have thus endeavored to give some accounts of the ' Easter services in this city yesterday and our report is 'made without the desire or intention of dis paraging any. We. have been compelled to write merely from our own personal knowledge of the facts and this is : why some portions of the account are fuller than others. Accidentally Shot. Yesterday afternoon, in the Southwest ern part of the city, two or three yonng men were engaged in examining a pistol, when it was accidentally discharged and the ball lodged in the right arm of a young man whose name we could not learn, who was one of the crowd. The wound was not considered dangerous, though it U quite painful, but the moral it conveys is a pointed one. Don't fool with pistols on Sunday or any other day, ; NO. 70 The Fire This Morning. m a - lne alarm of fire this morning was caused by the ignition, from a spark, of the shed of the old frame building corner of Third and Princess streets, owned by Dr. A. J. DeRosset and occupied by Capt. T. J. Southerland as a blacksmith shop for work required at his livery staftes. The engines and hook and ladder truck were soon at the scene, the first stream having been thrown by the Little Giant, and the flames were soon I suppressed. This is the fifth time, we are told, that. this building has taken lire since Friday last. . ! Fifth Street Omreli. Rev. L. S. Burkhead, D. D., Presiding sEIder of this district who has been needing the second quarterly meeting in tha abovee church, ' preached therj yc&temw morning and last night to very large anaattentive congregrations. His sermons migbt be called a series, he hav ing preached ihdhe morning on tho birth and divinity of Christ and at night on His death and resurrection. They were two of the most powerful and con vincing discourses ever oelivered in this city and those who heard hini were 'pro foundly impressed. In the morning, the rite of baptism was administered and at night the sacrament was partaken ot. A series ot meetings which it is hoped may result in a glorio revival, was also begun last night, and two penitents were at the altar. Services will be held there again this evening, when! Dr. Burkhead'is expected to be present. . I ' : , A Ghost- The City Court Room wa3 crowded to its fullest capacity; this morning by the colored population, with an occasional sprinkling of white people, who had all assembled there for the purpose of seeing a "live ghost, or a true and true ghost" as some called it. A darkey was arrested last night by the police while he ' was perambulating the streets in the lower .part. .of. -the city dressed in women's clothes with a white cloth thrown around his shoulders rid a white cloth tied over the top of his head, while on his face he bad as much flour besmeared as would "stick. The curiosity of the colored people was intense and im mense this morning as soon as the fact became noised around that there was a ghost at the City Hall. A great many would come cautiously to the dor of the Court Room, and with eyes as big as saucers peer inside of the door, until their optics rested on the pretended representative from the other world and then f with mouth and 'eyes both wide open , they would stand and gaze; pretty soon they would leave to tell '.'udders of the brederen" what they had seen and then the "udder brederen" would come and look for themselves until finally the court room . became so crowded that no more cop Id get in. The individual who was the cause of all -this excitement says he went to sleep, in a place called the Long House, in the lower part of the city last night, and that one Miry Rawls dressed him up in this way while he was asleep. The ghost hails from Brunswick county, but the Mayor is going to make him a thirty day resident of Wilmington. Look out, Mr. Mayor, you may have another Republican ; voter domiciled here if you UUU U LU1UU. I Fifth Ward Democratic Club. A large and enthusiastic meeting of the Democratic voters of the rath Ward (there being about one hundred and fifty present,) took place last Saturday night at the Bucket Company's Hall pursuant to a call from the former President of the Qnb. The meeting wrs called to order and its object stated, and none nations for per mancnt officers declared in order, when the- following permanent officers were elected: President F. II. Darby.

Besotted, further, That wc have no sympathy for that class of Democrats who ignored the nominations for Magistrates, made by us, the Democratic citizens of tbe Filth Ward, and appointed colored Republicans in their places. Resolved, That 2hc Morning Star, Evening Review and Wilmington Don crat are hereby requested te publish these proceedings. 1 On motiun, the meeting then adjourned. F. H. Dabby, President. II. O.
