WILMINGTON. N. SATURDAY. JANUARY
Last N ijrbt's Meeting.
Tie meeting of tbe citizens of New
Hanover county at the Court House
last bight, to consider the question of
the Criminal Court, was well attended
and a good deal of interest was mani
fested. Cd. E. D. HaL was called to
tbe chair and Cart. John Cowan acted
as secretary. Upon taking the chair,
Col. Hall Crated the object of the meet
ing, after which Mr. H. A. Bagg, Chair
man of the Board of County .Commis-
sioners, being called upon, submitted a I
comparative statement explanatory of
the cost and work of the Criminal
Conn in the past, and declared it to be
'he opinion of the County Commission
ers that the court wa9 a necessity.
Speechs were made by Col. Roger
Moore aod Messrs. M. and J. D. Bel
lamy in advocacy of tbe establishment
of a Criminal Circuit Court, urging as
a principal reason that tbe cost wou'd
not be so burdensome to the county by
fuch a system. Hon. George Davis
and Messrs. X. Jacobi and E. S. Martin
took opposite views of the matter.
Mr. A. G. R caud spoke in favor of the
Circuit Court system and introduced
the following preamble and resolution:
"Whereas, The State of North Caro
lina should b jar tbe burden of adminis
tering the criminal law in New Han
over, a a well as in other counties of the
State, therefore be it
Resolved, That it is tbe sense of this
meeting that New Hanover county
should bo placed either iu a Criminal
Circuit or that there be such additional
terms of the.Superior Court, with ex
clusive criminal jurisdiction, as may
be necesssary to dispose of the criminal
business, and as may be practica
ble by reason of an increase of the
number of Superior Court Judges. We
earnestly recommend to the Legislature
either one or tbe other of tbe above
courses, as the Legislature may in its
wisdom determine; but iu the event
that neither curso as above indicated
shall be adopted by the General Assem
bly, then we earnestly recommend the
continuance of the present Criminal
Court and the retention of the present
officials of that Court.
Hon. Gc"!rgevI)avis offered the fol
lowing as a substitute for Mr. Ricaud's
resolution : .
Resolved, That it is th9 opinion and
desire of the people of Wilmington that
the Criminal Court of New Hanover
county, as at present established by
law, should be preserved and contm
ued. '
This proyokod considerable debate
when, upon motion, the substitute was
declared carried by a viva voce vote.
A division was calied for when the
chiar appointed Mr. DuBrutz Cutlar
and Dr. W. W. Harriss tellers. The
vote being taken by count, tbe substi
tute offered by Mr. Davis was declared
adopted by" 57 yeas and 45 noes. The
announcement of the result created
considerable confusion, some ol the
opponents of thiT resolution -declaring
that the vote should have been taken
by ballot. A motion was then made
and seconded to adjourn and a ballot
called for. which was ordered by the
chiar. The mo ion was lost by a vote
of 53 yeas to 65 nays. Mr. M. Bellamy
then renewed the motion to adjourn,
which was carried.
The Suicide.
Late last evening Coroner Jacobs re
ceived the following dispatch from the
friends of the unfortunate suicide whose
body was found on i be opposite side of
the river on Thursday afternoon:
Misuawaka, Ind.. Jan. 2nd, 1884.
To David Jacobs. Coroner.

covered casket coat forty dollars by

Coroner Jacobs has replied that by
sending the money necessary to defray
the costs incident to shipmen the body
would be forwarded as requested, as
the Express Company here demanded
pre-payment of expenses. Tbe present
effects of tbe deceased cannot be for
warded until they have been adminis
tered upon in this State
This afternoon Coroner Jacobs re
ceived a telegraph'c money dispatch for
$100, but as this amount is not suffi
cient to pay all neeessary expenses, in
cluding expressage, bo has telegraphed
for more.

A Youitsr Hero.
Here is a tale ot the terrors of the
and ot an act of rare heroism on 'the
part of a young man known to many
here, which is rarely equalled. Tbe
Qrijgin cleared at this port on the Gth
uk., fbr Philadelphia, although it seems
lhat she did not sail until tbe 13th.
dpt. Rice telis the story to a reporter
for the Philadelphia Press as follows:
'We sailed from Wilmington," said
thj captain, "on December 13. The
v eat her was clear and we looked lor-
i - ' ' r. i i r J
h waiu iu reouuivg r iuiaut.'jpiii:t iu our
regular iime. The very next dav a
heavy southerly wind started up. The
canvas kretched and the masts seemed
to bend as they never bent before. That
night at eight bells I went on deck and
found the watch in a state of great anx
iety. Their nerves seemed completely
unstrung. Tneir faces were paler, and
tbe voices of some of them were husky
with fear. They told me there was
trouble sure Income, for a shark had
been following us for more than an hour.
You may laugh at Lhat, but to sailors
fcuch a thing means a great deal. Thny
are superstitious, and with theni a
shark following a ship portends trouble.
"Weil, the next day a storm did
come, sure enough l he winds came
from every poiut of the compass The
ship plunged forward one moment and
the next was struck broadside with a
blast thftt made every timber shake.
Tbe sea was frightfully rough and the
waves very high. All our batches
were battened down and the sails reef
ed down to the lowest possible spread
of canvas. We were completely at the
mercy of the weather My men were
exhausted and some of them were
completely demoialized. The gale
kept up for four days, and 1 didn't get
to my bunk once that whole time. The
water was icy cold, and not only was
every one wet, but at times our clothes
were frozen stiff.
"The wind veered on the fifth day
out, and blew a regular hurricane to
the Northeast. We were then thirty
miies South of Cape Henlopco. Tbe
hurricane carriedis along at a fearful
rate. Life lines were stretched along
tbe deck and preparations made to leave
the ship in case she should spring a lenk
or be flooded. Once we were struck
full on the starboard side with a great
roll of water and the next moment
sank beneath a second great wave that
followed close upon the first and al
most swallowed us up. The sea made
a complete break over the vessel and
there was not a man who was not
dasbed from his place and thrown about
on the deck. One of the life lines broke
and the poor fellow who had been
holding on to it tor dear life was flung
clear across deck and thrown against
the bulwarks on the port side. He was
found there a few midutcs later almost
unconscious.
AN ACT OF HEROISM.
' That morning I myself was knock
ed overboard. I had ventured to make
close reef in the foresail, and although
it was bard work to keep my feet, I
was getting a'ong pretty well until i
was struck by the downhaul of the
forepeak and knocked over the bul
warks I sunk into the sea thinking
that my last hour bad come, and to tell
the truth. I gave up all hope. Those of
the crew who could see the accident
were horrified. Without a moment's
hesitation my son, fastening a rope to
the taffrail. jumped overboard with the
coil in his hand. I was just aft of the
ship, rising from my first sinking. He
swam out to me. though how he buffeted
those wayes in that cold water God
only knows. A moment later he bad
me in bis grip, and with a power lhat
was almost superhuman, kept himself
afloat while he passed tbe rope around
my waist. Then, catching tbe rope
himself and holding me up, for I was
helpless, he signalled to the crew to
draw us in Thep got us alongside,
and we were safe. I was pulled up
first, more doad than alive, and my eon
was then hauled up.
"My Ny is only 21 years old, and it
is a wonder how -he saved me. The
rest of our trip was stormy, but un
eventful. Such weather as we had
those dayc I never saw before."
Something: Quite Unexpected -
f . - i
A very extraordinary case is lhat of
Mr T. O. Hall, one ot the best known
newspaper men in Louisville. Ky. For
sixteen years he had been annoyed with
tetter, and had given up all hope of its
removal. He was also troubled with
indigestion, tor which be tried Brown's
Iron Bitters. He writes, "Tbe bitters
did splendidlv for indigestion, and the
tetter commenced itching and divlop-s
ing to tbe surface and lor four days was
more snuoying than ever before. Still
I never thought tbe bitters was causing
tbe trouble until Mrs. H. suggested it,
and 1 then realized that my great tor
ment had a master. I bathed the tetter
externally, softening tbe surface
thoroughly, when a waterish substance
poured out like July perspiration .n a
cornfield darky, then in a very short
time the itching sensation stopped.
The sore caused by tbe expulsion of the
tetter is not yet healed but I know that
tbe cause of the unmitigated trouble is
forever removed."
Mr. F. W. Ronyon, advance agent
for J. Pond's literary bureau, is in
