Very little interest, was shown at the

A firm in Northborough, Mass., has

The growth of some of the Southern
States is illustrated by the statement
concerning Chattanooga that it has in

To those who remember the old grist
mill, with its single or double run o
stones, its lazy wheel, and the miller
.who was boss and all hands, the leat of
one of the great Minneapolis mills in
turning out 0,200 barrels of flour in one
day seems to murk as great an advance
in mechanical appliances and business
enterprise as can be shown in any manufactures.
At Otao. about twenty miles from

of the eminence ot this rock for posting

' Tower Rock." On the face of this
rock a huee advertisement, two hun

WILMINGTON. N. C- SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 1885
NO. 131
As stated by as yesterday the jury in
the Cluverins murder trial in Richmond
found the prisoner guilty. They were
out bdt forty minutes, and but one
ballot was taken. The prisoner has
not been sentenced and will appeal.
We have read carefully every line of
the evidence in this case as printed in
tho papers and we say deliberately that
we would not hang any one on the testi
mony' adduced by the prosecution.
Wha'teuer may really he the truth of
tho matter it is plain to every intelligent
man and every dispassionate man who
has kept up with this case
that there has not been one
particle of direct testimony to connect
Cluverius with tbe death of Lillian
Madison. Indeed, it is not by any
means clear that a murder was com
mitted. The prosecution failed most
signally to establishthis and yet a
human being is found guilty of murder
when, as Dr. Taylor, the Coroner, tes
tified, the presumption of suicide is
fully as strong as that of murder. Clu
verius may have bestrayed the girl, he
may have decoyed her to Richmond and
he may bave murdered her but yet not
one of these things was established by
the prosecution, certainly not beyond a
reasonable doubt. There were many
doubts, grave, serious doubts, and yet
it would appear that the prisoner was
not given tbe benefit of one of them.

Mr. A. F. Howard, Collector of Cus
toms at Portsmouth. N. H., in his letter
of resignation, recently tendered tbe
Secretary of the Treasury, says that fair
twenty years he has been a firm believ
er in the Jacksonian doctrine, that to
tiie victors belong the spoils, and that
consequently bis 'offensive partisan -sbip"
can be established by many wit
nesses. In brief, he confessed that he
'ought to go, and the Secretary shared
the same opinion.
A surprised man is J. B. Ham, who

Mrs. Wm. Hard wick, who lives on

residence, on Thursday evening last, as
she was getting ready to close up for
the night, had in tact, el sed up the
shutter?, in looking around the store
discovered a colored boy about 13 or 14
years old bid behind some barrels.
The rascal upon finding that he wa3
seen made a dash for the door "and was
soon out of sight. Mrs. H. does not
think that she could identify the boy.
Had he succeeded in secreting bimseii
he no doubt would later in the night
have opened the store for some older
thief.
Standard Dramatic Company
Theatre goers of this city, your atten
tion: OnMonday night tbeStandardDra
mratic Company will open a six nights1
engagement in the Opera House. The
price of admission is fifteen and twenty-five

good aJlTrf oroaanco as if tbe price of ad
mission was one dollar. They have
recently closed an engagemeat of four
teen nights in Montgomery, and have
played to crowed bouses every night,
which is a sure guarantee that there
is some merit in the company. The
Advertiser recommends the Standard
Dramatic Company to tbe people of any
city where they bill, consequently we
are sufficiently w r ranted to advise
all of our readers to invest twenty-five
cents and see the entertainment.

Base Ball.
The Nationals of Goldsboro crossed
bats with the Seasides at the grounds
of the latter in this city yesterday eve
ning. Much interest was felt in the is
sue of this game from the fact that it
was reported that the Nationals would
have four professionals in the field.
And it was generally conceded that it
such was the fact tho Seasides would
have a hard road to travel. The game
wa3 called promptly at 1 o'clock, and
both Nines entered into the contest
with a determination to do their level
best. The game throughout was hotly
congested by both sides, S3 much so in
fact, that if the boys do not hold up a
little they will"all , be declared profes
sionals and ruled out. Messrs Frank,
Williams. Draughon and Higgms. of
tbe Nationals, did some really scientific
work , while Koockogey, Kurtz, Rosen
thal, Bacon and Robinson put in the
extras for the Seasides. Tbe score at
the close of the game stood : Sea
sides 10, Nationals 2.
Mr. Chapman, as umpire, gave uni
versal satisfaction to all concerned, no
decision of his being even questioned.
It is said to have been the most pleas
ant and satisfactory game ever played
on the grounds. No "kicking" by
either side.
Many ladies graced tbe occasion with
their presence and applauded both
Nines whenever they put in an extra
catch or strike.
The Cornet Concert Club during the
evening discoursed some of its sweetest
music and added greatly to the enjoys
ment of t he occasion .
The second game is now being play
ed as wo go to press, and we are there
fore unable to give the score, but antici
pate that it will show a closer and hard
er fought field than that of yesterday
by bothMbe visiting and home cluns

The Artesian Bore.
We understand that the work ot bor
ing the rrtesian well at Burgaw by a
force employed by tho Wilmington &
Weldon R. R. authorities has been
abondnned, temporarily at all events.
The well had progressed to a deptfit
of about 350 feet. Seven feet of rock had
been encountered and successfully over-
: conn; and tlmu a bed of quicksand was
; struck. The boro went down 49 feet
j through this and as there was seeming
ttf no end to it, and as it was found im-
oossibl to keep the pipes clear, the
work was abandoned.
Itemoved to Statesvitle,
We regret exceedingly to learn that
Mr. James C. Munds a.id his family
will remove from this city to Stales
ville. Mr. Munds has shipped his stock
of drugs to Statesville and will leave
with his family on Monday for that
place, where he will embark in busi
ness. We tender him our best wishes
for his future success and prosperity
and commend him lo the people of
Slatesviile as a clever gentleman and
an excellent citizen. Their gain will be
our loss.
Preserve tlie Records
There is a matter connected with the
history of Wilmington andNewHanover
county that has been recently brought
to our notice, which we think impera
tively demands public attention and
public action. It is in the fact that
many of tbe early records ot the city
and county are in a dilapidated condi
tion and are fast going to ruin and de
cay. Many ot these old records are of
incalculable value and are possessed of
historic interest that should never be
forgotten. In many of the older re
cords leaves have been torn out, the
writing has become faded and tbe paper
has become yellow and rotten with its
great age. Many of the earlier records
we are told, were made without much
regard to order, but they contain mat
ter of great interest and some way
should be adopted by which they may
bo put in suea obaPo trial iney shall not
go into entire decay.
Few of tbe original thirteen colonie
had more at stake than North Caroli
na; few whose earliest history was so
full of romance, and none took a more
determined stand in resistance of op.
pression than she, and the early history
of Wilmington and New Hanover is
mainly a history of the State. Much of
this invaluable history is embodied in
these records, and no pains should be
spared to preserve them as sacred relics
ol the glorious past.
The officials now having these
records in charge cau only take tbe
best care possible of them. They can
not prevent the ravages of time, nor
are they empowered to go to any ex.
pense in rebinding or rewriting them ;
but it is very certain that these things
must be done, or our history will exist
only in tradition and the vague memory
ot oft repeated tales. It would be the
part of wisdom, we think, if a sum of
money were to be appropriated for the
purpose and somo faithful, careful and
competent man should be employed to
critically examine these old records;
re-write them when necessary and re
bind all dilapidated volumes, so as to
make them as nearly perfect as possi
ble. The woik will belong and ardu
ous, and for that reason it should be
done at once, before it would become
an impossibility. Some of the papers
have already been lost. Let the work
commence at once in order that all
which remain may be preserved. As
we take a just pride in the glorious
deeds of our ancestry let us take meas
ures to preserve their acts, for those
form the history of Nc rth Carolina, and
in them are woven all that makes the
State great and glorious.
The Leading Clothier.
