Washington, D. C, requesting him to
take in custody a yroung lad who would
arrive on the 10:45 p. m. train with a
throush ticket to Jacksonville, Fia.
A description of the youngster and the
number of his ticKct were given, so
that the polic had no difficulty in se
curing the lad when tho train arrived
here " The youngster, who is only
thirteen years of age, took his detention
very philosophically, and made no re

was taken to the City Hall whero he is

; Death of a Veteran.
Mr. Benj. L. Clark, a veteran of the
Hate civi( war died in this eitj' yester
day, aged 47 Sears. ' Mr. Clark was a
member of Co. I , 18th N. C. Regiment,
Wilmington Rifle Guards) and was
desperately, wounded in. the engage
ment at Cedar Run. the ball entering
his leftlside, under the arm and passing
through the body. .From the effects of
this he was partially paralyzed, in
speech as well as in body, and has ever
since led a painful existence. Hn was
an excellent soldier one or the best in
the regiment and was beloved by all.
Gentle,' quiet and unassuming in his'
deportment, he was at the same time
one of the-bravest spirits of our sad and
unfortunate war. .Peaceful be his" rest.
He is one more among the noble army
of martyrs who have crossed over the
river and are now resting under the
shade of the trees- ' i
The Southern Ore Company
Mr. J. Beno, one of the" projectors
of thg Southern Ore Company, and
one of the Directors elected by the
s;rckholders yesterday, leaves hero
this evening for Charlotte, from whem
he wilLgo to Salisbury and thence i n
to New "ilork to be absent a week or
ten days. His trip is in the interest of
the eorapany. There are three mines
in this'State., one in Moore county, one
in Mecklenburg, and the third in Lin
coln, which are expected to supbly the
works here with eighty tons of ore per
day .all of which, and more, the company
will be prepared to handle. This ore
will probably, for the most part, be
brought here on the Carolina' Central
Railroad. Mr. Beno's visit to New
York will be for the purpose of being
present at the organ izat. on of the Board
of Directors and it is very probable
that he will be elected President of the
