that we understand the present force

will be no change in the force.

Mr. Curtis and troupe arrived lait
night and have been busy to-diy in ar
ranging and mounting their play for to
night. Tho troupe will be greeted by
one of the largest audiences of the sea
ion. , An exchange says:
Mr. '"'to. B. Curtis appeared in his new
Jewish impersonation, "Sam'l Plas
trick," last evening at Che Academy, be
fore a crowded house and under the best
of auspices That is, the piece was well
irjpunted, played in good style, arid fcsd
a friendly, audience- To say the best of
Mr. v.artis'" Jew at the outset, it was a
Tery exact reproduction of nature, por
trayed in a quiet, unassuming way. The
persoacrge is a good hearted, honest and
industridus fellow, whose principal aim
ia life is to make his way, acquire money,
and haTe a good time as he goes, not ne
glecting aDy opportunity that falls in his
way of righting a wrong for the benefit
of his friends. His-dialect, though rich
.in its highly colored quality, and espec
cially appreciative at times to the He
brew listener, is not his only mode af fun
making. The simplest speech is mirth
provoking; and, though loquacious to the
last -degree, he is always interested.
Mr. Curtis proves himself a most agreea
ble actor in the role,' and certainly makes
the most ol it.
Directors' SI e-tins of the IV & W U B
At a meeting of the Board of Direct
ors of the W. & W. Eailroad, held at
tbe President's office this morning, a
committee of citizens from Halifax and
Scotland Neck, consisting of ion. W. H'
Kitchin, Mr. E. H. Smith and five other
gentlemen from that section, submitted 5
proposition to the Board agreeing upon
their part te gire the right of. way, do
the grading and furnish the cross-ties
for a branch road from Scotland Necfc to
some point on the V. & VY. Eailroad
between the stations of Enfield and Hal
ifax, a distance. of 14 or 16 miles, if the
railroad company would on their part
furnish the iron and lay the track ; this
to be done without aky increase in the
stock of the road. The Board seemed
to look favorably upon the proposition,
and appointed a committee consisting of
the President, Hon. El E Bridgers, Dr.
A. J. DeEosset, and Messrs. Don. Mac
Bae, W. II. WiUardand E. B. Bordan.

The alarm of fire this afternoon was a
false one. The bells were rung and
people turned oat but nobody could
locate the fire. It is likely that it orig
inated in the fact that clouds of smoke
from fires in the country near at hand
were floating over the city at that time.

000 in June. It will be laid as rapidly
as possible. This quantity will' lay the
track from the present terminus at the
Gulf to Greensboro. We may expect to
see trains running between the towns of
Fayetteville and Greensboro by the end
of the year at furthest. The opening of
a road was never looked for more eagerly.
City cutt. .
His Honor, Mayor Smith, held his
first Court this morning at 8 o'clock.
There was only one case for the Mayor's
consideration, however, and it being one
cf a rather mild offence, His Honor told
the defendant, Sarah King, who is a col
ored woman, that inasmuch as it was her
first transgression, never having been ar
rested before, that he would dismiss the
case, with due notice that if she appear.
ed before him again he would mete out
to her the full punishment that her of
fence might merit.
Dummy Williams, a colored man un
dergoing sentence of thirty days in the
City Prison, was ordered released by the
Mayor, his term of imprisonment lack
ing only a few days of beiDg complete.
The Alarm Yesterday.
The ataTm of fire yesterday, about 2
o'clock, was cau?ed by the ignition of a
wood-house on ihi premises of Mr. F.
W. Heyer, on Second street, running
back near Third, between Walnut aad
Bed Cross. An ash-barrel, it seems, was
kept in this house, and -from live coals
emptied into this the building caught
There was a stiff breeze, almost half a
gale, blowing at the time from the North
and there were serious apprehensions of
the result should the flames get beyond
control. Happily this was not the case,
as the flames were suppressed by those
from the neighborhood who rushed to
the scene when the alarm was given.
The fire steamers were turned back be
fore reaching the spot.
In Distress.
Through advices received by Mr. Wat
son, the Signai;Officerat this station, troea

The innocent Drummer on Hand
What he Sells and 'How he Sdls
'emV'V
Mr. Curtis likes his fun -off the stage
as well as on it. Several of the bojs
concocted a plan to fool old man Fice
Alayer this morning, and asked Mr. Cur
tis to aid them in carrying it out. He
tumbled to the plan and has been as
sideously selling(?) cigars and dodging
the Detective all the morning. Old man
FiceVwas seen ruminating this morning
and murmuring, "tarn der feller, he was
scharp as der lightning; yust Tait until I
get some glue on him an I takes him in
before de Mayer Smichdt, py tam.
goes an' gets dot Tarrant now, py tam,
'fore he goes off on der Fayettevilie
steamer."
At about two o'clock Mr. Curtis, with
a grip sack in his hand, started down the
Custom House alley and the Chief df the
detective force took down Mitchell's al
ley at a double quick. Mr. Curtis quiet
ly turned around and went back to the
hotel, and old man Fice stood on the
steamer's wharf waiting for de poy to
come down until the boat started on its
journey. The Detective retraced his
steps and soon caught a glimpse of Mr.
Curtis and quickening his pace-oyertoek
him.
"Aha," said the Detective, "I stopped
yer from gitting on der post. You vas
a drummer and I vant dot license "
"Yes," replied Mr. C, "I am a drum
mer, but I have sold no goods."
"Dot makes no aeber mind; I vants
dot license."
"I haTen't got any; I haven't sold
goods and I've got no license, and I am
not going to get one." i
"Den I tucks yer in before der Mayor
Smichdt."
VAll right, I'll give you my . name;
Sam'l Plaisteck der drimmer in Sam'l
oPosem9
"Bet's too tin; you cau't fool me, I
knows yer, Wilson, and you must go in
before de Mayor."
Mr. Curtis and the Detective, followed
by a large crowd, who were in the joke,
proceeded to the City Hall and the May
or was summoned and an investigation
was held. , His Honor soon saw it was a
practical joke, and dismissed the case af
ter admonishing Kasprowicz, the insti
gator, not to do likewise again. Mr.
Curtis and the Detective were then in
troduced and the old man said:
"Veil, I knowed it all the Vile dotTas
you; Tell, I sees you ter night, of you got
a ticket."

Miss Clarke and Mr- Ilermon.
Miss Louise Clarke, of Alabama, the
accomplished Southern elocutionist, and
Mr. Harry flermon, humorist, mimic and
character vocalist, are to give one pf their
chaste entertainments at the hall of the
Library Association on Wednesday
night. They are highly spoken of and
come well recommended. The Savan
nah JVewssays:
"Miss Clarke has genius, cultivation,
energy, pluck, ad perseverance, and w
predict, will leave her name in the his
tory of the South. She attracts people,
draws the hoar ta of her audience to her
self, and whether it is as an actress or a
reader, or even in her social life, her
earnestness claims the attention and
holds the hearts of htr hearers. Her
manner is easy, her intonation perfect,
and the aids of proper gesture, so truth
fully and forcibly applied as to render
notning lacking to create a pleasing im
pression upou ber hearers. Harry Her
mon was voted immense by all. Hi3
character acting, especially in the 'School
Uoy, created, much merriment, and ne
received several encores. He is a splen
did -Mimic and brought down the house
every time he appeared. Some of his
characters. Grandfather Sam,' . Poul
try Yard Favorite,' and Schooi Boy,
were first-class.
