Death of Mr. H. H-intzey-' .
Capk'A. Adrian received a tele
groin trrrrmorning, announcing the
death in Jackson ville last night of Mr.
H. Hintze, for many years a resident
of this city, but who removed to
Jacksonville some years "ago. .'He
was, we think, about 40 years of age,
The remains were interred at Jack
son ville to day. V
The Eire To-Day.t
The alarm of fire this" noon, turn
ed in from box 43, was caused by
the destruction of three small frame
dwellings on Hanover street, near
Eighth. One of these belongedtoMr.
M. Bellamy and was occupied b- a
colored family. The others were
owned by Thomas Rivera and Gus
Williams, colored, who also occu
pied them. The buildings were all
insured but for what araouutjwe did
not leern.

An Outrage.
While a number "of girl pupils o'
Tileston School were returning to
their homes in.the Eastern part of
the city yesterday.'atternoon, they
were interfered with by a number of
rude colored children and were
much annoyed, so that they were
finally obliged to take a circuitous
route in order to' avoid as much as
possible further molestation. - The
white children gave no cause for the
assault, which was entirely unpro
voked, but were walking along
peacefully and quietly, yet one f
them, a modest, inoffensive girl of
nine years of age," received a blow
from one of the ill-mannered color
ed children. It was an outrage that
had better not be repeated, for the
parents of those children are not the
sort to submit quietly to such
things. u.
' ' ' , Tlie Book Reception.
Notwithstanding, the stormy, in
clement weather, there was a large
gathering at the book reception
held last night at the rooms of the
Young Men's Christian' Association.
Each guest brought with him or her
a book and the result was a really
handsome collection, as a nucleus
from which the library of the Asso
ciation is to grow. In all about
300 volumes fwere contributed and
among them we noticed a n&mber of
valuable standard works.
The evening was an exceedingly
pleasant one. Mr. P. B. Manning,
the President of the Association,
made a very felicitous welcoming
address, and Miss Adrian and' Miss
Sch warz charmed the guests : with
some excellent music, ' , '
The address of th.e evening was
delivered by Hon. A. M. Waddell.
That distinguished gentleman .was
evidently in his happiest vein. His
remarks were beautiful, eloquent
and instructive. His theme was
"Moses" and he handled it superbly.
Those! who heard it certainly enjoy
ed a fine literary treat and they
would be glad to hear it again.
; At the conclusion of Col. Waddell's
address there was more music, an
oxquisite Instrumental iuet by the
Hisses. Johnson, of Clinton, and af
ter this refreshments were served
b,r a number of young ladies. , j
The 4ibook reception" was indeed
such a success, in every way, that
there is already talk of a reception
at an early date. ." I

SATURDAY. JANUARY 5, 1889.' NO 5.
: A Very Interesting: Occassion.
MrB. H;r Webster High Chief
Rule'rof the Independent Orrler of
Rechabites in North Carolina, ar
rived in the city yesterday and last
night he visite4 Unity Tent No. GO
and installed the officers elect for
the ensuing; term. Notiee of his
visit had previously been announc
ed in the Tent and its members, de
termined to make the occasion a
pleasant and a memorable one,
went to work and armed themselves
with the largest gold headed ebony
cane th ey "could find. and selecting
Mr. W. N. Jacobs as spokesman
T
awaited his coming. Finally the
alarm was sounded and he was ad
mitted. The Tent was then opened
under the head of "Good and Wel
fare" and Mrl Webster was request
ed to preside and install officers
elect. Just as he was about to take
the chair Mr.JJacobs, in his usual,
happy manner, stepped forward and
addressed Mr. Webster: t ;
Mr. Jacobs' remarks were ' grace
ful, eloquent and appropriate, and
we had hoped to publish them here
in full but a pressure on our spafee
today prevents. He assured Mr.
Webster that it was a great source,
of gratification an honor to the
entire lodge to have him in their
midst and extended to him a cordial
greeting, with the hope and belief
that his stay in our , city might be
made as pleasant "to him as it
was gratifying to the members of tbe
order. . Mr. Jacobs then reverted to
the work of the order here and the
need for a constant and increasing
activity in. asserting Jts principles
and maintaining the fight against
the powers of evil. "Our noble or
der, instituted for the benefit of
mankind, sets a ' glorious example.
May its influence be widely extends
ed and its; principles become- the
principles of suffering and beguiled
humanity. May every member re-,
gard himself a s6Idierof sobriety
and benevolence, setting, good ex
ample to others and endeavoring to
influence his fellow-men to active
work for the benefit of the race and
for the reclamation of the fallen."
In presenting the cane, at the
close ofhis address, Mr. Jacobs said :
"It becomes iny pleasant task, hon
ored brother, in behalf of this tentr
to present to yon this cane as a
token pt the high esteem and f rater
nat affection in which yon are held
by its members." -:
Mr. Webstdr, though - taken by
surprise, responded in an eloquent
and feeling manner, thanking, the
Rechabites Of Wilmington for one
of the most pleasant events of his
life, and assured them of the high
position which Unity Tent occupied
in the hearts' of . Rechabites else
where. He then proceeded to install
the following officers:
