Fred Douglass is ready for recon struction. He appears to have been trying to get on the good side of Presi dent Cleveland by hiring a pew in the ciiurch where the President worships, directly iu front of that gentleman Here are the facts as told in a epecial to the Charleston News and Courier: Washington, May 17. A highly sensational scene was to day enacted at the First Presbyterian Church. As is well known President Cleveland is a pewholder in that church, therefore vacant seats have been at a premium ever since it was determined that the Presidential family would worship there. Recently a pew directly in front ot that rented by the President became vacant. It was immediately secured and but few members ot the congrega tion knew to whom it had been rented, j his morning their curiosity was rati fied when Frederick Douglass, the colored recorder of deeds, accompanied by his white wife and two Iriends, entered the church and took possession f the pew. RThe congregation became so excited thai they paid very little attention to the divine service. Neither the Presi dent nor any member of his family wtre in attendance. Nevertheless, great excitement prevailed when, at the conclusion of the service. Dr. Sun der and descended from the pulpit and greetul Recorder Douglass and his Party cordially. The elders, deacons an 1 members of the congregation did not leave the church uniil they- had ex pressed their indignation at the minis ter s conduct in .unmistakable latumm?, An informal meeting of the congre- u lun was beld on tne spot, and it was agreed thnt V wnA nnnla ahnuM Kn Kiueted to relinnuish bis richt to hold Pew in the church.

VOL. IX. WILMINGTON, N. C. TUESDAY, MAY 19. 1885. NO. 115. Considerable sensation, according to the London Truth, has heen excited in Vienna society by the announcement of the betrothal ot Prince Lichtenstein to the daughter of a merchant in the city, such a marriage being regarded as mesalliance by the austere purists ot the court of Austria. This Prince was formerly well known in London, and his first wife was Miss Fox, the adopted augbter of Lady Holland. LOCAL NEWS. INDEX TO NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

To-morrow (the 20th inst.) will be the anniversary celebration of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independ ence. It is a legal holiday in this State, ih consequence ot which the banks will do no business on tbat day.

Hancock, who has been seriously sick for several months, wa3 stricken with paralysis yesterday after noon, and his condition is so critical that there are but small hopes of his recovery.

The Signal Service of the army, with a desire to be of as much value as pos sible to the people of the different sec tions ot the country, has perfected a plan by which the approach of a cold wave may be known at any given point from 24 to 48 hours previous to its actual appearance. By the term "cold wave" is meant a sudden change by which the temperature falls from 15 to 30 degrees, or more, within a very short time. This information will be Of value to many and especially to those engaged in truck farming. The "cold wave" signal will be a square white flag with a black square in the centre, and it will be displayed from the signal station here whenever the occasion may demand, on and after the first of J uly next.

The May Queen Crowning. The Lutheran parsonage yard was thronged last Friday afternoon by old and young, and especially the latter class, who made use ot it as a play ground. To give the children a good time was the object and it was fully realized. At 6 p. m. refreshments were given the childrcn aud at 7 p. m. the adults were served. At 8 p. m., the final preparations for crowning the May Queen were made and the crowd thronged iato the Luther Memorial building. All seats were occupied and many were compelled to stand to wit ness the act of crowning. The stage presented, indeed, a fiue sight. A handsome arch, covered with moss, ; bedecked with flowers and adorned with wreaths and from which also was suspended the words, in letters made of flowers, "Our May Queen," was pleasing to the eye. Back and underneath stood the handsome flower brone, surmounted by a pretty star or flowers, made by Miss Lillie Gerken. The ladies deserving the most credit for the beginning and managing of this very decided success are Mrs. F. W. E. Perchau and Mr3. Jno. F. Loughery. They were untiring in their efforts to have it succeed and succeed it did Many readily and promptly remarked that they had never seen it done better.
