Ihe practical annihilation of time by
the electric telegraph receives a striking
illustration in the statement that the
message announcing the winner of the
Derbr was transmitted from London
to New York in three seconds, or,
roughly speaking, a second for every
1,000 miles.
Willard Perkins, ex-president of the
Fat Men's Association of Waterbury,
Conn., has applied for a divorce from
his wile. He weighs 425 pounds, while
his wife is a scant 100 pounder. Ac
cording to his complaint, she hurls all
manner of kitchen utensils at hhn, and,
being physically unable to dodge them ,
he claims a divorce.

A preliminary British company has

We publish on the third page of this
issue the address of welcome delivered
by Rev, Mr. Tuttle to the High Tent of
Rechabitcs, recently in session here.
It is extracted from the Zanesville (O.)
lamily Herald.
The 1'assport was crow't'.ed this morn
ing with excursionists who availed
themselves of the opportunity to have
a day's pleasure upon the Cape Fear.
The Cornet Club marched from their
band room to the boat, playing a fine
quickstep.
The Palmetto Baseba! lists, of Marion,
S. C. will play the Seasides of this city
at the grounds of the latter, on the 18th
and 19th inst. The Palmettos will come
with an excellent record, and our home
team must look sharp or they will be
caught napping.
There was a large party went to
Lake Waccamaw to-day on the excur
sion of the Sunday School of the Second
Presbyterian Church. They have been
favored with fine Weather aud no doubt
have had a pleasurable time wandering
about that beautiful sheet of water.
The Young Catholic Friends Society
will have a happy day of It on Thurs
day on their projected excursion down
the river. Their entertainments are
all enjoyable, and none more so than
those given by them on the water.
There will be music and refreshments.
Indications.
For the South Atlantic States, fair
weather, followed by local rains.
Southerly winds, becoming variable,
stationary, followed by slight tall in
temperature.
City Court.
There was one case before the Mayor
of failure to pay license tax thi3 morn
ing, which was settled.
There was al3o a case of a colored
boy who was charged with stealing a
piece of rope, but, as there was no one
to make affidavit against him, he was
discharged.
Opera House.
The Standard Dramatic Company,
which has held the boards of the
Opera House for nearly a week, seem
to be growing nightly in popular favor. I
I hey opened under rather nnpleaseanL
auspices, but it took but a short
time to convince bur people, who -in
the main are good and just critics, that
they possessed the elements as act
ers worthy of a most liberal patronage.
The play of Divorce, which was pre
sented last night, was performed to
the entire satisfaction of all present and
the large audience manifested their ap
preciation of the acting by f requent and
rapturous bursts of applause. To-night
the pastoral drama of Hazel iCirke wili
be the attraction and we doubt not that
there will be a crowded house as those
who have not seen this world wide fa
mous play will be anxious to witness
it, and those who have seeu it will want
to see it again.
Tiie Tuneful Nine.
Some of our base ball clubs that are
spilin' to knockv out some other club in
three rounds and are walking about
with chus on their shoulders for some
venturesome nine to try and knock off,
may have a chance in a few days to
win all the glory the law allows or the
times will permit. The Cornet Concert
Club Baseball nine are now organized
for the season and as they have never
been defeated some sharp playing may
be expected. It would be natural to
suppose that they would play well and
it is alto-gethcr probable that they will
make a good many base hits. The
matter has been kept quite a secret but
we managed to get at the tenor of their
plans although it was said solo that it
was almost inaudible. Some of the
members feared that they could not
compete successfully with other clubs
while others thought that they could
duett easily. The following is the ar
rangement of the nine :
S. W. Sanders, pitcher; J. E. Will
son, catcher; S. A. Schloss, right field;
D. B. Mitchell, center field; J. H.
Greenewald, left field; Geo. R. Dyer,
first base; F. R. Hawes, second base;
H. D. Burkhimcr, third base; Joe
Schloss, short stop; W. T.Johnson,
base stop, aud W. L. Dellosset, Jr.,
umpire.
Pender Items.
From a correspondent in Pender
county we learn that on Friday last
Mr. Walter P. Boney, of Duplin Roads,
N. C , had his horse stolen from his
stables. The thief was followed in the
direction of Bannermcn's Bridge and
was captured on Saturday night by Mr.
Walter Boney and Mr. J. R. Banner
man. The thief proved to be Jim,
alias Duce Newton and is said to be a
negro of a notorious bad character hav
ing already served one term in the Pen
itentiary. The recent heavy rains have some
what retarded farming operations and
injured the growing crops. The cotton
and corn haye become alarmingly
grassy.
The venerable Mr. John P. Banner
man, one of the most universally es
teemed citizens of Pender county, has
been quite sick, but his friends are
hoping for an improvement in his case.
Ex-Lieut-Gov. J. L. Robinson visit
ed the convict camp in Angola Bay on
Thursday and expressed himselt as
pleased with the care of the convicts
and the progress of the work. He went
from there to examine the Cape
and Yadkin Valley extension.
Fear
Square Dealing
Is the foundation that we built onr bu
siness ou when first started, and it has
at all times been our compass in the
storms, squalls and business hurri
canes as in the calms, in the past fif
teen years, never fearing the result, and
why shall we? Well knowing that by
giving one hundred cents value in re
turn for every dollar we receive, we
shall retain our well-earned patronage.
No houses will or can do more, as no
house ean exist without a profit, aud
none can do business on less profit than
the Old Reliable. Believing this, our
aim is to keep on the truth-telling and
truth-selling basis, so that the' name of
SHRIEK will be synonymous of square
dealing. See ns before buying. Re
turn whatever is not satisfactory and
the monev will be refunded. Shriek,
the Old Reliable Clothier, H4 Market
street. t
Moonlight Excursion.
A moonlight excursion to the Rocks
will be given on the Passport, on the
night of the 23rd inst., on which occas
ion the boat will leave her wharf at the
foot of Market street, at 8 o'clock p. m.
and returning, will arrive here at about
midnight. The excursion will be got
ten up udder the auspices of Capt.
ilarper aud Mr. G. N. Harnss, and
arrangements have been made so that
these who wish can secure a fish sup
par of sheep head at Mrs. M aye's at a
moderate price.
