Swinburne's new tragedy, "Marino FaUero," is strongly praised by the London Times, which says that the author ha3 followed the historical lines with commendable accuracy. Much ot the income from the tax to pay the interest on the debt of Tennes see having been used for other pur poses, the extra session of the legisla ture will have to devise meansk) supply the deficiency. -.- Vice President Hendricks told a re porter that tne'.subject of his address be fore theYaleLaw School this month will be: "The Supreme Court of the United States and the Influences that Have Made It the Greatest Judicial Tribunal in the World."- The territory of the Argentine Repub lic contains, it is said, a great deal of cabinet woods of the best quality, espe cially in the regions around the upper part of the Parana river, from which within the past few years considerable quantities have been shipped to France and (iermany. m m An outbreak of the Japanese volcano Fijiyama is feared, and a Government commission has been sent to ascertain the facts. The people living in the neighborhood believed an eruption to be imminent because, while the snow on the mountain had begun to melt two months before the usual time, all the wells at tbe fort flecame dry, and difficulty was experienced in procuring water. The happy thought has occurred to some of oar Republican contempora ries, remarks the Philadelphia Record, to insist that President Cleveland, in the reforms which he is carrying out. is only "putting in practice principles which have been enunciated in Repub lican platforms year after year." On first sight this looks rather symmetrical and imposing, but when the awkward inquiry is poked at it, "Why in all these yean did tbe Republicans never put their principles in practice?" the bran begins to dribble. The now opium treaty between Eng land and China is almost settled. This new convention assumes the form of an additional article to the Chetoo treaty, and abolishes all the barriers heretofore existing against ihe free diffusion of opium throughout the Chinese Empire inland. The treaty also settles a uni form rate of lekin of sixty taels per chest, and maintains the existing cus toms duty of thirty taels. This wil1 l.QW nni'nm t r no a a froal xr t kfAii itKAtif cbina.

S. F. E Co. No. 1 was well attended aud was a delightful affair in every way. There was good music, plenty of dan cing and the enjoyment was all that could be desired. There will be a German Family Ex cursion down the river to Smithyille and tbe Forts on the steamer Passport on next Thursday. The committee are sparing no pains in making this a pleasant and successful trip. Refreshments will be served on board at city prices. Music by the Pascucci band. Indications. For the Sonth Atlantic States, fair weather, stationary temperature, vari able winds, generally Westerly, and higher barometer. Personal. Mr. John R. Paddison, of Point Cas well, was in the city to-day aud gave us the pleasure of a call. Charleston News and Courier : The Hon. F. W. Kerchner, Mayor of Wil ton, N. C , is spending a few days on Sullivan's Island. We heard one of our subscribers complain yesterday that there was a great scarcity of dogs on tbe Brooklyn side of the railroad. He said that there were some families with only one dog while there were quite a number who had no more than two or- three. Per haps he was ironical. Tbe Excursion. Tbe Wilmihgton Cornet Concert Club gave their excursion on the Pasi- porl to Smith ville and the Forts to day in accordance with tbe announcement. A few minutes before the boat was to start the club came down Front street from their band room in the New Mar ket building playing a delightful march in excellent taste. The parts were re markably well oalanced and all the instruments were well playediu a clear, sweet tone. Some of the members wemiccessarily detained at home on important business and, consequently, the club was not out in its full strength, but there were enough to discourse sweet music and to establish the fact beyond ot dispute that it is one of the best band in North Carolina. A large party of ladies and gentlemen ac companied them on their excursion. Appointments. In view of the tact that Col. I. J. Young's commission as Collector of the Sixth revenue district is said to date June 1st the following, which was tele graphed from Washington City on the 29tb ult., will be read withnuch inter est: The Post ot to-morrow will contain the following : "It is understood that the President will soon appoint Colonel Edward Yarborough to be collector ot internal revenue for the Sixth district of North Carolina. He is strongly en dorsed by both Senators, and besides having a strong backing from the busi ness men of that State. It is probable the appointment will be made Monday. Marshal Hiil. at present marshal of the Eastern district of North Carolina, will, it is said, shortly be removed and be succeeded by Capt. V. V. Richard son, who is a strong applicant for tbe place. A number of changes is also contemplated in the postmasters of tbe State, one ot the first being tbe appoint ment ot Mr. Matthew Mauley as post master at Newbern, vice J. S. Manix. The other day while walking down the street, I notioed ic all the Station ers' windows a very pretty little book or tablet, called the celebrated T. T. T. Only 5 and 10 cents each, jeld&wlm Vessels Arrived. The following is the number and tonnage of vessels which arrived at this port during the month ended May 31st, 1885: American 4 steamers. 3,380 tons; 1 brig, 382 tons; 8 schooners, 2,749 tons; making 13 vessels and 6,511 tons. Foreign 1 barque, 499 tons; 3 brigs, 863 tons; making a total of 4 foreign vessels and 1.362 tons, aud a grand total of 17 vessels, aggregating 7.873 tons Exports for May. The following were the exports for ig4t for tbe month ended May 34st, 1885, as shown by the books at the Custom House: Cotton; 625 bales, valued at $31,000; spirits turpentine, 203,806 gallonst valued at $60,678; rosin, 21,587 barrels, valued at $23,875; tar, 6,285 barrels, .valued at $9,201; pitch, 551 barrels, valued at $1,109; lumber, 2.135,000 feet, vaiued at $33, 583 ; shingles, 333,000, valued at $1,603; making a total of $161,052. The Crops. Visitors in the city from the country to-day say that the crops have been much injured in many places by the recent heavy rains, but that they are growirg rapidly and should the rains not continue they will soon recover much that they have lost. At any rate the farmers are kept busy from morn ing till night and there remains much hard and persistent work to do for the next few weeks, or the grass and weeds will get the upper hand. Breaking: Ground. Ground was broken yesterday after noon for the work of enlarging and extending St. James' Church. The first spadefull of dirt was thrown by the Senior Warden, Dr. A. J. DeRos set, and he was followed by other Ves trymen. Some of the children of Misses Burr & James' school, who were present, were also allowed to take up some of the dirt as a pleasant recol lection of after years. The workmen are now engaged in removing the rear wall ot the church. Mortuary Report. From the report of Dr. F. W. Potter, Superintendent of Health, we learn that the total number of deaths in the city for the month ended May 31st, 1885, was 32. Of this number there were 9 whites and 23 colored. Of the whites 3 were males and 6 were females, and 6 were adults and 3 were children. Of the colored 9 were males and 14 were females; 12 were adults and II were children. The mortality for the month of May, 1884, in the city amounted to 56, making this year's death rate for the corresponding period 24 less, which is a favorable showing. The Banquet at Smithville. A friend of ours, who was present at the banquet given to Goy. Jarvis last week at Hotel Brunswick, writes to us to express his surprise at the Tact that no notice of it appeared in the columns of the Review, aud thinks justice to Dr. Curtis, the proprietor, demanded this. We admit the soft impeachment so far as the latter reason is concerned, and would simply state that the Re view was not represented on that occasion. because no invitation to that effect had been extended. No member of the press in this city was invited to participate in any manner in the reception tendered to Gov. Jarvis while in Wilmington. We mention this merely in explanation, and not that we care a brass farthing one way or the other. We would have been glad to write up a report of tbe Hotel Brunswick. Our friend sssures us that the menu would have done credit to any hotel in the land. It was composed of the choicest viands and was served in such a manner as to elicit the warmest com mendations from all. The wine was of the choicest brands and there were many brilliant sallies of wit and toasts and speeches that made it a truly nota ble affair. The dinner" was elegantly served in seven courses, each with its appropriate wine. The table was set , in the form of a cross, in the centre of which was a large mound of roses and other beautiful flowers and rare and fragrant blossoms were profusely scattered about the board. The feast of good things con tinued tor about four hours and tbe party arose from the table with such cheerful countenances as to prove that good appetites, good fare and good humor had reigned throughout. This dinner is said to have even surpassed any of the famous "feeds" heretofore given at this elegant Summer resort. There was no City Court this morning. APPALLING ACCIDENT. Five Persons Drowned While on a Plearure Excursion A Mother, Sister and Three Children iind a Watery Grave Among those who went down the river yesterday on the Passport was a party consisting of twelve or thirteen persons who stopped at the RoPks. These, after leaving the boat, went to Zeke'a Island, where they rambled about upon the shore and several child- j rcu went wading in the shoal wat'H1 Ofthis party were Mrs. James W. Winn, her 4uiir children, named re spectfully Olivia E. Winn, aged 11 years; Munsou Winn, aged 10; George R. Winn, aged ft, aud James R. Winn, aged Land her sister, Mrs. Anthony De-Stef-tno, the wife of a well known Italian musician in the city. Atabout 4 o'clock yesterday "a messenger came from Zeke's Island to the "Rocks V bringing tbe sad intelligence that several of the party were drowned. From the best information we have been able to ob- tain it seems that while the children were wading in the water, as before stated. Mr. J. P. O'Sullivau, who was near bv. saw them troiiiK towards a dangerous place and turned them to a sate direction and then left them to the careot their mother andMrs.DeStelano In a few moments he beard a shout and hastened back, but when he reached the place where he had lcR them they had all sunk out of sight. Capt. J. Wiiliani3, who was about 100 yards distant, heard the screams and ran to their assistance and suc ceeded in bringing one of the children, George R. Winn, safely to tbe land. Subsequently all the bodies were lound with the exception of Munsou Winn, which had not been recovered at the last accounts. The bodies were brought up to the city last night aud were taken in charge by Capt. J. M. McGowan, who had them conveyed to the resi dence of Mr. Archie Marine, on Ann street, between Sixth and Seventh. Mrs. Winn was the widow ot the late J. W. Winn, a well-known machinist, who died a few months ago. She and her sister, Mrs. DeStefano, were regu lar communicants of St. James Church and were most devotedly at tached to each other. There arc many speculations as to the cause of the terri ble accident, and the most probable presumption is that when the boy found himself sinking and shouted for help they all thoughtlessly hastened to his assistance and in anxiety to save tho drowning one thoy found a watery grave. Mr. DeStefano was absent gunning when the accident occurred, and re turned to find his beloved wife yet un found. His grief was agonizing, as might have been expected. Mrs. Winn was 29 years if age and Mrs. DeStefa no was 24. Tho funeral took place at hall-past 4 o'clock this afternoon at St. James' Church and thence tho remains wcrc taken to Oakdalc Cemetery for inter ment. This terrible accident has cast a gloomy pall over the neighborhood where the unfortunate people resided and where they were much esteemed bv all who knew them. The news of the accident came so unexpectedly that the terrible fact could hardly be real ized, and it was only when their dead bodies were brought to the city that a full sense of the awful calamity became completely apparent. Later Since writing the above we have learned that the accident was oc casioned by the eldest boy, who could swim, and while swimming in deep water thought to play a joke by shout ing and then sinking. His sister, who saw him sink, rau to help him and she also sank and the mother and others alsq ran for the same purpose and with the same sad result. The smallest one of the number became frightened and ran for her mother and suffered the same fate while he who was the un fortunate and thoughtless cause of the accident alone escaped. To Be Keif re tied An unfortunate difliculty occurred yesterday at Burgaw between two prominent residents of Pender county. Tbe affair is greatly to be regretted by the friends of both parties. We have had various accounts of tbe trouble and the wisest disposition we can think ot is to pour some oil on the troubled waters by consigning them all to the waste basket. It was a private difficul ty between two gentlemen and wc hope that it may soon be amicably ad justed. Base Ball, and Summer underwear go together.
