In a sequestered ravine near the scene
of the Carter murder, about a mile from
the city, the mangled remains of a wo
man and child were found last evening
by Officer Richardson, while in search of
deserted sailors. The officers and his
comrades have been trying to keep the
matter in the dark until the capture of
the perpetrators of the atrocious murder.
From the fact that they will bo appre
hended and brought to justice before
night, we relate the blood curdling par
ticulars of the murder which stands with
out a parallel in the history of the State.
The details are sickening and can hardly
be heard without a feeling of indignation
and desire to avenge the death of the
frail woman and her innocent babe.
Above we give as accurate a diagram of
the ravine and surroundings as the short
time at our command will allow.
About a week ago a young white wo
man, .who, had she been nicely dressed,
would have been considered pretty; made
her appearance in the northern portion
of the city, where ; she remained until
Wednesday in a house occupied by Yat3
kin Jennings. The poor unfortunate
woman and her babe were found on yes
terday in the cold embrace of death ly
ing in the ravine. In and about the va
cant house, shown ia the above drawing,
were the marks of a struggle and drops
of blood. Under the house .was found
a stick besmeared with gore. From the
house, across the railroad traek and
through a cattle path to the ravine were
traces of blood. An investigation of the
body proved that the unfortunate woman
had been stabbed in the back with a
knife, that her skull had been crushed ia
by a blunt or round instrument and that
her tongue was torn out. The innocent
babe's brains had been dashed out and
one of its feet had been either hacked
off or eaten by hogs. Near the house
wasfeund a sailor's knifebearing bloody
finger marks and having on its handle
the letters H. M. A piecevof woolen
cloth staiaed with blood which had evi
dently been used as a scarf was found
some little distance from thy house. The
officers thought they recognized the scarf
and the knife was identified as the pro
erty of a seaman deserter. The ravii e
and locality, as drawn above, is a rendez
vous for deserters, tramps and hard cases,
as is also a place equally sequestered
on the banks of the creek about a quart
er of a mile distant. These localities
were weir guarded last night and the ofii
cers and their posse eomitatus were re.
warded by picking up one of the con
federates of the murderers who turned
State's evidence and related the follow
ing.
SICKENING PETJ.IL.
Kuhl Ton Astic, Pedro Ibetmre and
Ruls DerVonstrac saw their victims on
Wednesday at the spring, which is some
little distance from Yadkin Jenkin's
house, and by subterfuge took her to the
vacant house shown in the diagram,
where they made an attack on her. The
poor woman kept them from her by the
use of a club, but it was finally taken
away. She fought desperately for
awhile and was then struck down with
the club by Pedro Ibetmre. She fell
with her face to the ground, and Yon .
Astrio plunged his knife in her body.
The assassins then dragged the almost
dead woman across the track to the ra
vine, and. placing her dead babe by her,
left her there to die alone. How long
she lived is not known. The details of
the murder are most brutal and would
vie with the atrocities of a savage Sioux

lEYIEW.
FRIDAY, APRIL
Ucmorlal Day-
At a meeting of the Ladies' Memorial
Association, of this city, held yesterday
afternooa at the residence of the Vice
President, Mrs. Armand L. DeRosset, it
was decided that, inasmuch as the Legis
lature of North Carolina had, at its re
cent session, made the 10th day of May a
legal holiday, it would be unwise for this
'Association to celebrate any other day,
as, among other reasons, it would be
asking too much of employers and em
ployees to give another day from busiaess
which they would necessarily have to do
ifte 26th day of April was continuted
ta be observed as Memorial Day in Wil
mington. The motives; we are informed,
which actuated the ladies of the Associ
ation io changing the day for making
the annial observance of the memorial
services to the Confederate dead; from
My to April, were on account of the
lateness of the season, the scarcity of
flowers in Way, and more than all,
out of consideration, for the military'
the march to the Cemetery " being a
long and tedious one aad at the very
warmest part of the day at, that "season.
The ladies o f the Memorial 1 Associa
tion in Wilmington had the honor of
being the first organization of the kind
in existence in this State, and were we
first to observe, these memorial services
en the anniversary of Stonewall Jack
son's death, which is, the : 10th of ; May.
They disliked therefore to' give'ip that
day, but for the reasons mentioned above,
felt it their daty to make the change
and earnestly sought the cooperation of
other associations throughout the State.
FailiBgin this, they have wisely .conclu
ded to abide the will of the majority in
terested m this observance, and will re
turn to the day , first inaugurated by
them in the observance of the solemn
ceremoiies of that occasion.
Major James Beilley who has beta in
Tited to act ae: Chief - Marshal has ac
cepted the invitation ""and ia due time
will make his announcement ef the order
of the "day. The Orator and Chaplain
have sot yet been, announced.
A Keif lair on Prohibition.
The prohibition question is assuming
large proportions in more States of the
Union than one. The Pennsylvania
Legislature has recently acted upon it,
and now comes a dispatch from Wiscon
sin which says the Governor to-day
signed the bill recently passed by the
Legislature prohibiting the practice of
'treating." The bill provides that any
person who shall hereafter ask another to
drink at hie expense or any person con
senting to drink at another s expense
shall be liable to arrest and punishment
When tho bill was introduced into the
Legislature it was referred to as a sense
less aad impracticable idea, and nobody
thought it would became a law. It has
only attracted attention since it has
passed. No doubt there is many a poor
fellow in this city, who smiles oceasion
ally at his own expense, that wishes such
a law prevailed in North Carolina
Th a possibly hit own indulgence in that
direction would not count up so heavily
in the matter of dollars and cents.
We advise our friends to call at Jxoobi's

At a meeting of the Wilmington Hook
and Ladder Company No. 1, held Wed
nesday, night, the following resolution
was adopted.
Whbeas, Oar newly elected Board
of ldermen have seen fit to remove
from command of the Fire Department
Col. Roger Moore, who has so long, so
faithfully, so efficiently and with such
universal acceptance to the members of
the Department and to the public gener
ally performed the duties of tfcat office.
Resolved. That while we recognize
the authority of the Board of Aldermen
to make any changes in the city Admin
tration that may seem proper to tbern.
yet we do regret that th y should have
decided to remove without any apparent
cause, andj without consulting the wish!
of those w hose . duty and whnee pleasure
it has been to obey him, a most popa!ar
and competent officer.
It is an admitted fact that Col. Moore
has been greatly instrumental in bring
ing oar Fire Department toils present
standard of efficiency; and we think that
to remove him without a word of com
plaint having been made to them by an)
one, is to say the least a great mistake.
In adopting this resolution it is not
our desire or purpose to reflect in ao v
way on Col Moorr'g gucci-or, who,
do not doabt, will make a capable office
but simply and emphatically to xprea
oar regret that auchaetion should bat
rbeea fay the Eoaxd 0f Alderxaea.
