J5o Tidings Yet. No tidings have yet been received here of the three young men who it. is feared were lost in Currituck Sound last Thursday night, Messrs. Thad. Branch, John Keeter and Chas. Barnitz. Mr. J. W. Branch, the father of one of the young gen tlemen, had a letter this morning from Capt. J. H. Williams, of the Stetfton. The letter was wri tten f rom Elizabeth City and was dated Sun day and in it Capt. Williams says: I am sorry to inform you that the three men are yet missing. On last Thursday evening Thad. Branch, Keeter and young Barnitz left the dredge to go to Powell's Point P. O. after the mail. They reached the shore all, right, got the mail and left for the dredge between G and 7 o'olock. They were under sail and that is the last tidings we have heard of them. It is possible bhey were blown on the lee shore. If such was the case the distance was about 15 miles. The Captain of the dredce, myself and three more men went ashore and searched the beach for miles, but found nothing of them, nor any part of the boat. We enquired of all passing steam ers, of a stray boat, but no tidings could they give us. We also went to the light house but could hear nothing there. Capt. McConnell is here with us and is trying in every way to ljear something from the missing men. This is the best in formation we can give you at pres ent. We will leave here to-morrow morning at 5 o'clock for the dredge. We are in hopes of hearing some thing of the men when we reach the dredge. " City Court. There was asavage cutting affair in the Hollow last Monday night, and the investigation of the circum stances was the principal business for the Mayor's, attention this morn ing. The following were the pro ceedings: Sally Moore, colored, Oluf Olan sen, William Welsh and Harry Jan sen, were arraigned for an assault with a deadly weapon. The testi mony showed that a German sailor had had trouble with the girl, Sally Moore, and that the three men named took her part, and with several others followed him into the street from Mrs. Bryson's, add there attacked him. Sally was the first to make an attack and she was -folio-ed up by the others. In the melee, the victim of Sally's wrath was severely cut on the head, and was in a most pitiable condition this morn ing. The defendant, Oluf Olansen, was positively identified as the man who did the cutting. All the de fendants were required to give a justified bond in. the sum of $200 each for their appearance at the next term of the Criminal Court, in default of which they were coin mitted. John Mitchell, a tramp, hailing from Liverpool, via New York, and Archie Henderson, a tramp hailing from Baltimore, had no visi ble means of support, and it was ordered that they be escorted out side the city limits, with the warn ing that if they were found here again ttiey. would have to work ten days in the chain gang. . J Success of a Wilmington Enterprise. I ; The traveling agent of ' the Oaro-! .lirm Chemical-Company and inana-j ger of the Carolina Chemical Con- j cert Conipany,ffDr. S. R. Twining, j returned last night from a very sue- ;cessful business trip in the South. ! This Wilmington firm, the Caro-4 ing interests of our city, as the mer its of its medicine, under the Knob loch process of dry distillation, is meeting with rapid sale; in fact, so vast has been their success, that their present plant is not of suffi cient magnitude to fill the orders promptly that, are daily received, and work will be commenced in the near future to increase their facili ties for the manufacture of -their specialties, which are at present Pinola Extract, Cornina Chill ..Cure and Carolina Balsam. Aside from these medicines the company distills a superior pine oil for varnishes, which promises to take the lead o manv other oils for the same use. Over one thousand dollars' worth of orders have been. filled up to the time of writing, for the Carolina Chemical Company's medicines, and many more are awaiting -shipment. The company believes in adver tising, and this their agent has done pretty thoroughly and judiciously, as is shown by the manv orders that are being received from the places Mr. Twining has visited. A large amount of money has been already expended in printer's ink, and the company intend to layout many hundreds of dollars in the ensuing year in advertising and printing. The works of the Carolina Chemi cal Company are in the eastern part of the city, and almost directly op posite Bel lev tie Cemetery. They are under the management of Mr. Paul M. Knobjoch, a skilled pharmaceut ical chemist, the son of the inventor of these popular medicines, in em bryo, who gives the most minute at tention to every portion of the dis tilling.process. The greater part of the apparatus for manufacturing these remedies is under ground, so there is no chance for infringing on the wonderful patent. A special watchman is also installed there during the day and night, to prevent any trespassing on the premises. These medicines are sold at fifty cents a bottle, and are useful for many of the maladies of mankind. We bespeak for the Carolina Chemical Company a universal and well deserved success in bringing hito utilization some of the many medicinal herbs, barks etc., of the South, to the relief of suffering hu manitv.

Death of Mrs. Atkinson. It is with great regret that we anj nounce the death of Mrs! Josepha G.
