A Fire
The roof of the stable " on Captain
J no. T. Rinkin premises, corner of
Front and Walnut streets, cauerht fire
this
afternoon about 3:30 o'clock, aud
would possibly have ended " in a large
conflagration, but for the timely aid of
citizens, among whom were some of the
Hook and Ladder Company No. 1, who
rushed to the scene of danger, and mount
ing the shed, had the fire soon under
control, and extinguished it in a few
minutes. The origin of the fire is sup
posed to have been a spark from Mr.
Alex. Oldham's c mill, situated across
the street from the scene of the accident.
The damage amounts to little or nothing.

Assault with a Deadly Weapon
Last night, about 8:30 o'clock, George
Davis, colored, knocked Josh Rush, also
colored, in the head with a club or stick.
''llnwintr the rrf frnlara as near
as we can get them: Rush is engaged
to be married to a sister of Davis wife
but for some reason Davis dislikes Rush
and tried to prevent the marriage. Last
night Rush called on his fiance who
lives" at the house of her brother in-law,
on Fourth, between Hanover and Bruns
wick streets, when Davis walked up to
him and struck him with the stick. Rush
was carried to his home and medical as
sistance summoned. We understand that
Rush's skull is fractured and that he is
in a very critical condition. Davis was
arrested and crave bond of S50 this
0-
morning for his appearanee before Jus
tice McQuigg's Court when Rush i3 able
to appear and give evidence against him.
Th Simon Gross Ca3.
The examination of the witnesses in
the case of Simon Gregg, colored,"charg
ed with beinjan escaped convict from
the South Carolina penitentiary, was
continued in Justice McQuisrsr's Court
to-day. : The two men who were guards
at the penitentiary at the time that
Gregg is said to have escaped, identified
the prisoner as the escaped convict and
one of them described hiin accurately be
fore seeing him. When Officer Bryant
read the requisition to Gregg before ar
resting him he ii ied to- escape. He is
said to have been convicted of the larce
ny of a cow in 1877 and at the time; of
his escape wa3 on a detail near J
the penitentary cutting wood. - During
the examination of the case this morning
a little passage , of words was had . be
tween the Justice and Mr. M. Bellamy,
Gregg's attorney. Mr. Bellamy thought
the Justice d scoarteoas and resented
the language and manner used towards
him.
Mr. McQuigg threatened a fine for
contempt, whereupon Mr. Bellamy told
him that he could enter the fine, if he
chdse, and notified the court that he
would have the man tried in a legal way
under the writ of habeas corpus, and
that he (the Justice) had no warrant of
law for the trial or examination of a
prisoner who was arrested under a req
uisition from the Governor. J ustice
McQuigg committed the prisoner to the
Sheriff to be turned over to special offi
cer James Spann, who has the requisi
tion for him. Spann says he will leave

The dedication of the new Catholic
Church at Laarinburg. will take place
on Sunday next, on which occasion a
special train will be run iron this city
to Laarinburg, leaving here at 6:15 A.
M., arriving at Laurinburg at 100,
leaving Laurinburg 4:15 P. M., and ar
riving here oa the return at 80. Tick
ets maybe had of Messrs J. H. Uc ;
Garity, L. Brown and Dan O'Conaor
and it is probable that there will be a
large attendance. v
The Church had been built by the
members of the Roman Catholic Church
resident at Laurinburg and is now ready
for dedication' to the worship of Ged.
High Mass will be held la the Chrch
at 11 o'clock, the celebrant being Rer.
Father Gross, of this ciry, and immediate
ly thereafter the dedicatory services will
he held. In the afternoon, at 4 o'clock,
there will be vespers. The Laurinburg
Enterprise tells us that the new Church
has been handsomely finished and suita
bly furnished with all the conveniences for
the proper' observance of the forms' and
ceremonies peculiar to the Catholic mode
of worship, and reflects credit upon the
small.membership residing in that town
upon whom the expense of constructing
and equipping has almost entirely de
volved. The building inside measures
32x50 feet between the front doors and
the partition separating the vestry from
the church. ' The vestry measures 10x20
feet inside. Both room3 are well venti
latedthe front rosm having three large
windows on either, side and two in front
while the vestry has three large windows
and a deoropesing on the South side.
The Twentieth.
To-morrow will be the glorious 20th.
day of May, a day made memorable in
the annals of Nerth Carolina history, by
the fact that a brate band' of Carolin
ians, inspired by a love for liberty, and
imbued with a Spartan heroism and de
term inatio a, assembled .in the county of
.Mecklenburg one hundred and six years
ago, ana tnen ana mere on tne zutn or.
May, 1775, declared with a boldness un
known in the history 01 inia tuuuw;
that time that the people of America,
the white men of this favored land, who
were the citizens thereof, should and of
right ought to be free and independent of
the British yoke. Their glorious example
was followed one year and two months
later by another . band of patriots who
made a similar declaration, signed and
issued it. To this last document, how"
ever, tne movers ana signers tnereto no
doubt caught their inspiration from the
Carolina declaration, which was the first
movement of the kind in the land. And
now the Legislature 'of North Carolina,
one hundred and six years after that im
portant event, has declared that the an
niversary of that Jever memorable day
shall hereafter be considered a legal holi
day, for which the small boys, the
banking institutions and the members of
the Produce Exchange are verv thank
ful in that it affords a pleasant day of
rest and recreation. We wish we could
include in the above category editors al
so but then there is no rest for the
wicked.
In this connection we will mention the
fact that the gallant boys Of the old W.
L. I. will celebrate the twenty-eighth
anniversarv of their organization to-
morrow by an excursion on the steamer
Passport down the river.
The Fxcuision To-Morrow.
Those who want a mouthful of salt air
can get it to-morrow on the excursion
to he given by the Wilmington Light
Infantry to Smithville and the Forts on
the steamer Passport. We are assured
that the gentlemen of the committee
fiare made every arrangement which has
occurred to them for the benefit of their
guests and we trust that the attendance
may' he large. Ortraanfs string band
will furnish music foa the occasion and
there will be excellent opportunities for
dancing. At Sraithuille the Wilming
ton. Light Infantry will have target
pratice. The boat is to leave her wharf,
foot of Market Street at 8:30 o'clock.
Mr. John Loose, 51 Degraw street, S.
Brooklyn, N. Y.t writes: For quite a
long time I have been a sufferer from
rheumatic pain, which increased in spite
of all remedies that I tried. Having
heard verv high praise of the St Jacobs
Oil, I concluded to make a trial. My
left arm feelinsr too painful to endure a
severe rnbbin?. I took a niece of flannel,
staked it well with the St Jacobs OH,
and nut it around by arm as tithtly as
I could bear it After the first night of
this trial. I commenced to experience
relief, and after two days aUpaiaTanish.
