In a paper upon butterine. read be

in 1883 uvei 40,000 tons of that product

Lookout for Them.
There seems to be a large amount ot
countcrteit com in circulation in this
city. It consists principally of pewter
halves and quarter dollars, ana we
hear of ouite a number of our
citizens who have been victim
ized within a few days. We Have
S3en several specimens and they can
easily be detected by scrutiny. It would
be well to pay a little extra attention
in making change, by which means
there will be but little danger of getting
tbi9 sort of bad coin.
Unsuccessful
We saw several young men trying
the experiment of riding on a bicycle
to-day and, after witnessing tne per
formance tor awhile, weconcluded that
as a failure, they were a most pro
nounced success. It is a pastime m
which it requires practice to become
expert, and we noticed one who had no
difficulty either in mounting or riding
li ia n. hftftlthv and we should think
that it must be a delightful pastime
and we hope that our young friends
will oersevere and become proncient
wheelmen.
The Ltttle Joker.
This is the name of the play in which
Miss Carrie Swain will appear in the
title role at the Opera House next Men
day night. The play was written ex
pressly for her by the playwright. Mr.
Fred G. Maeder. who is her manager,
and it has met with marked success
wherever it has been presented. The
Fall River (Mass ) Herald, in speaking
of the play and the actress, says :
A large and appreciative audience
greeted Carrie Swain's pertormance
last evening- The play belongs to the
school which Lotta's acting has made
familiar, but Carrie Swain is a school
all by herself. She sings much better
than Lotta; her voice is a fall, sweet
and rich mezzo-soprano, with a high
anu ncu uiewNroi-uw, w.u
rante, ana ner use oi it saowt uareiui
training bv a fcomDetent teacher.
lfte
play taxes her severely, as she is almost
constantly on the stage, bat she is every
moment fresh and charming. Miss
Swain was well supported.
WILMINGTON. N. C FRIDAY. JANUARY 16,
On Skated.
The thanks of "the local" are due ior
an invitation fioru the manager to at
tend the entertainment at the City
Hall to-night, at which an exciting
game of polo will be played on skates
There will undoubtedly be a large at
tendance as roller skating has become
very popular in the South, and a game
of polo, which has seldom been wit
nessed by Southern people, will be of
interest. To add to the pleasure and
attractiveness of the occasion, there
will be a siting band of music in at
tendance.
Distinguished Quests.
Archbishop Gibbons, the Cardinal-
elect, accompanied by his private sec
retary, Rev. N. W. Caughey, arrived
here last night and Rt. Rev. II. Pink-
ney Northrop, Bishop ot Charleston,
C, will arrive this evening. These
distinguished gentlemen will all be the
guests of Col. F. W. Kerchner. On
Sunday morning next St. Thomas'
Church in this city will be dedicated,
on which occasion the Archbishop will
preach at night. Bishop Northrop wili
deliver the sermon. The seats will all
bs free on both occasions and the ser
vices will be held at 10:30 a. m. and
7:30 p. m.

Henry Hudson who has been at work
n the city for a couple of weeks as a
painter, while his wile has been engag
ed doing housework, was brought bes
fore the Mayor this morning charged
with disorderly conduct. The testi
mony adduced developed the fact that
he and his wife were both drunk yes
terday, and got into a fight at the cor
ner of Front and Mulberry streets, and
when an attempt was made to separate
them, Hudson made a furious onslaught
on those who had interfered. He was
arrested and taken to the guard houset
After hearing l he testimony and a
ouching appeal trom the wife, they
were discharged providing they would
eave the city instanter, which they
promised to do. They hail from Nor-
fork, Va., and stated that they wanted
to go bo Charleston, S. C. f
This Morning's Fire.
At abut half past 3 o'clock this morn
ing a fire was discovered in a building
occupied as a store room, wood house
and for other purposes on the premises
of Mr. C. C. Parker, on the Southwest
corner of Sixth and Wooster streets.
The alarm was promptly given and the
firemen were quickly on band, but the
paints and oils which Avere stored in a
portion of the building were so lnflam-
mahln in their nature that it with ita
contents were destroyed together with
a considerable amount of fencing. The
efforts of the firemen were mainly
directed to saving Mr. Parker's dwell
ing house from destruction, in which
theu were successful, although the
building was or a time in great jeopar
dy and was considerably scorched
There was insurance on the building
burned to the amount of $20 ; on the
fencing $30, and on the dwelling house
$800, all in the Home Insurance Co., of
New Yorkr represented in this city by
Messrs. NorthroD & Hodges. The fire
was undoubtediv the work of an in
cendiary.
Street Improvements.
The street force have recently pat the
sidewalks on Red Cross street, between
Thtrd and Fourth , in excellent condi
tion and they are now first-class
thorough fares. The baliast is of. ex.
cellent quality and will be durable.
The force are at work upon Walnut
street, which is being permanently and
materially improved. On the South
side of the latter street, between Sec
ond and Third, the sidewalk has been
raised and well ballasted while a solid
bulk bead has been built in order to
prevent any wash into the low adjacen1
lot. A deep and well -paved gutter has
been laid sufficient to take off the water,
and thisgutter leads into an under
drain of double terra colta pipe, fwhich
conducts the water under and across
Second street. After crossing Second
street, the drain connects with a drain
made of heavy Plank, and this latter
wilt lead across Front street and to the
river. By this means there will be no
more washing of the street and side
walk, a3 has been frequently the ease
heretofore. The" work is being done
thoroughly and with a view to perma
nence. Oar thanks are doe the Committee

Review.
A Black Tijrer.
On Tuesday night last, as Mr. L.
Jnhnson. who Uvea about 6 miles from
Point Caswell, Pender county, was
iveturning from his work, his dog treed
an animal, which at first was supposed
to be a coon, bat alter firing several
sh is without i erceptablu effect upon
the animal, which he could not see
dittioctly, owing to the darkness, be
cot the tree down. When this was
accomplished, Mr. Johnson found that
be had undertaken more than be had
bargained ior, as the -animal proved to
be much larger than a coon and show,
ed fight. He then went and secured
the assistauce of Mr. . A. Hawes, Mr.
H. H. Bos well and some colored men,
besides several dogs, ana: returned to
see if the beast could be captured. In
the meantime the animal had moved in
to the swamp at the head of Hawes'
Narrows" to which place he was
trailed by the dogs and brought to
bay. The dogs made an at
tack, but the animal killed
one in an instanj; and severely wounded
two others. The swamp was then sur
rounded and after several shots had
been fired the animal was killed, and
upon examination it proved to be some
thing utterly unknown in this section
His height was about two feet high and
he was considerably more than six
feet in length from the end of his nose
to the tip of bis tail. He was jet black
in color, had short and rather coarse
hair, was muscularly built and had
terrible claws. It is supposed to have
been one ot a pair of black tigers which
escaped from Robinson's circus last
fall, and it is probable that the other is
not far distant. He was brought to the
city on a flat last night, and has been
on exhibition during the day at the
shooting gallery near the new market,
where many have been impelled by
curiosity to go and see him
The Masons.
We glean from the Raleigh Chroni
cle the following notes relative to the
meeting in that city, in annual session
of the Grand Lodge of F. and A. M.
Masons.
Tuesday evening the Grand Lodge
met in MasoBic Hall. Grand Master
Robert Bingham delivered an address
fifteen minutes long and full of instruc
tion and suggestions.
Capt. A. H. A. illliams, one of the
Board of Directors of the Orphan Asy
lum, made a report embracing the re
poft of Dr. B. F. Dixotf, the Superin.
tendent. Dr. Dixon's report shows
that the total receipts for the year were
$14,253.70; disbursements 12,589,42,
leaving a balance of hand of $1,664.28.
Seventy-two orphans have been ad"
mittcd during the year, and forty-four
have been discharged, leaving 153 now
at the asylum. Dr. Dixon, in conclu
ding bis report, pays a compliment to
the ladies, who, by aid societies, thave
been of great service to the asylum, and
suggested such action on the part of the
Grand Lodge as would secure the aid
of the ladies throughout the State. Mr
F. H Bus bee offered the following reso
lution, which was adopted:
Resolved, That a special committee
of five bo appointed to prepare and re
port to the Grand Lodge for the forma-
tion ot a visiting committee oi laaies,
and for the organization of aid socie
ties for the help of the orphan asylum,
as suggested in the address of the Grand
Master and the report of the Superin
tendent.
The following gentlemen were ap
pointed on the committee: Thos. S
Kenan, Rev. B. C. Phillips. B. W
Hatcher, Dr. I. Harreil and F. B
Mace.
Yesterday the Grand Lodge held a
morning, afternoon and evening ses
sion, appointed its standing committees
and considered much otner work look
ing to the good of the Order in the
State. Last meht the following ij rand
