The Rev. Dr. Watson, Rector of St.

ceremonies in this city last night, one at 8
o'clock and the other at 9:30. At the 8
o'clock ceremony, the groom, who is an
Italian, was unable to understand the
marriage ceremony in English, as he
cannot speak a word in that vernacular,
s tho reverend gentleman Inu-lated
the service into Latin when he addressed

the courtship was conducted but" we

In on Schedule Time.
The steamship Gulf stream, Captain
Ingram, from New York, put in an ap
pearance here this morning about the
usual hour; that is to say, the Gulf
Stream arrived here at the wharf within
ten minutest f f.hA on .-- 4Ko oV
i this uort during the three
consecutive trips preceding tliio o.
Captain Ingram informed us this morn
ing that his time of departure from New
York and his arrival here, has not varied
ten minutes durieg the last four trips he
has made. With such a ship and so ca
pable and clever a gentleman to com
mand and navigate it, we are not sur
prised at such prompt schedule time.
The Doctor of Alcantara.
Those of our citizens who were at the
Opera House last evening were amply
repaid for any inconvenience they
may have suffered in getting
there. The performance was a de
cided improvement over the first
presentation of the play as the ladies and
gentlemen were more familiar with their
parts, and several fine voices had been
added to the choruses.
For some reason Mr. Hobbs did not
give his exhibition of skill on the violin,
and in order that the audience should not
be deprived of any of the pleasures an
ticipated, Mrs.Cameron and Mr. Chase
sang a duet which called forth a shower
of flowers and hearty encores.
Mrs. Kahnweiller excelled herself in
her vocal gems. Her staccotic pas
sages were wonderful and such as are on
ly attained by musical talent of- the
greatest order of merit and perfection.
In the opera of "The Doctor of Alcan
tara" tho quarrel trio by Mrs. Lippitt,
Mrs. Cameron and Mrs. McFarland was
very fine.
The rich and musical voices of the
ladies taking the parts of Donna Lucre
tia, Isabella and Inez were never heard
to better advantage. Mr. Clark as the
Dctor and Mr. Bradley, as Carles,
rendered their parts with great satisfac
tion and acted out the characters with
almost faultless accuracy. Messrs.
Welsh, Dyer, VonGlahn and Carr added
much to the performance by their good
singing and clever acting. Possibly the
most noticable improvement was in the
finard- Their number had been in
creased by the addition of several fine
voices, which added greatly to the gen
eral harmony and fullness of the choruses.
Mrs. Taylor presided at the piano and
impressed every one with her faultless
and musical touch.

Sunday School Convention.
A Sunday School Convention under
the auspices of the North Carolina
Baptist State Convention, will be held
at Asheville commencing June 23d and
continuing for three days. The Rev. J.
B. Taylor, pastor of the First Baptist
Church ot this eity has been requested
to deliver an address before the Conren-
tion. . . -
Courage-'
Rev. Joseph R. Wilson, D. D., will
deliver a lecture at the Onera House
Friday evening next, the 29th inst, nn.
der the auspices of the Wilmington Li
brary Association. The lecturer has se
lected as his subject "Courage," and will
no doubt deliver one of the best lectures
of the season. His theme is one which
will give him ample opportunities to test
his intellectual cultivation. The public
have a treat prepared for them, and we
havo no doubt but that Dr. Wilson's
reputation a speaker will attract many
who do not usually attend lectures. Tho
price of admission has been placed at
the low figure of 25 cents.
A Thing of the Part.
In excavating near the Northeast
corner of Market and Front streets to
day for the Water Works, workmen
came across a brick wall about four feet
thick, some three feet under the surface
of the ground. The wall was well pre
served and must have been the founda
tion of a building which stood there
generations ago We did not learn
that a house had ever stood- there but
suppose so from the fact of the discovery
of the wall. Will some of our "old citi
zens' put on their thinking caps and en
lighten us on the subject.
The Odd Fellows' Celebration.

Lodges, P. G., W. J. H. Bellamy, act
ing as Noble Grand.
After the ritualistic ceremonies had
been appropriately observed, the acting
Noble Grand in a terse little address in
troduced G. R., Chas. M. Busbee, of Ral?
efgh. Mr. Basbee's address was on Odd
Fellowship and was both instructive and
interesting. His audience was pleasant
ly entertained for an hour and was charm
ed with his abilities as a lecturer. P. G.,
M., W. L. Smith on behalf of the Lodges
tendered their thanks to Mr. Busbee,
and introduced P. G., F. H. Sleeper, of
Indiana, who is in the city on a visit,
who spoke for a few minutes in a very
happy and pleasing style.
An Important Hatter.
The Board of Health for New Hano
ver county we unaerstana, meets to
night, and we hope and we believe, that
the worthy gentlemen who comprise that
Board will take into consideration the
danger attending the excavations now
being made in nearly every street in this
city. The warm rays of the sun y ester
day, shining with full power and inten
sity upon the newly dug, damp earth
along the proposed route of the water
works company, gave an early foreboding
of what we may expect before the work
of digging up the earth for the purpose
of laying these pipes is completed. We
do not wish U antagonize the interests
of the water works company, and we
hope that our remarks will not be con
sidered as tending in that direction be
cause we are exceedingly anxious to
have this new enterprise completed
But we do not wish it done at
the sacrifice of the health of the city.
The whole winter has been allowed to
pass without a spade or a pick being
stuck into the ground, and it is only
when the spring is two-thirds gone and
we are just upon the eve of the sickly
season, that the company commences lis
operations of figging. We would re
spectfully call Qe attention of the Board
of Health to an important fact which
they have possibly not lost sight of, and
that is, that it was the opening of a sewer
in Memphis three summers ago that
caused that citv to mourn tha lives f
thousands of her best people, and
brought woe and sorrow to almost every
household within its fatal iliaits. Shall
we profit by their experieBtet
