The Dominpe Party, at the Island

pleasant affair. Quite a number of
ladies and gentlemen went down
from the city, to attend it. The last
train left there at midnight.
There was a report current to-day
that another victim to the high
waymen, a colored. man, had been
found robbed a'ud murdered on the
turnpikeUhis morning but. it could
not be traced to any reliable source.

MCKDEK MOST f OUL.
Mr. T. W. Clawson, of the Mestcn
ffcr, has returned from his holiday
trip, which he passed with relations
and friends in South Carolina.
Passengers on the tJeacoast "rail
road will do well to remember that
they cannot stop over at Wrights-'
ville on tickets to the Hammocks or
Ocean View. Neither can they stop
over on a book ticket.: If persons
desire to stop off at Wnhtsville,
tbey must buy another ticket from
Wrightsville to the Hammocks and
vice versa.
" Progress.
It is very important in this age of
vast material progress that a rem
edy be pleasing to the taste and to
the eye, easily taken, acceptable to
the stomach and healthy in its na
ture and effects. Possessing these
qualities, Syrup of Figs is the one
perfect laxative and most gentle
diuretic'known.
Another Attempt.
We hear of another attemnt at
highway robbery, -this i morning.
Three marketmen were coming into
the city with their carts this morn
ing on tho Federal Point road when
as the first, who was somewhat in
advance of the others, was crossing
Jumping Run a colored man jumped
from the bushes and ordered him to
halt and hand over his money. Jnst
then the highwayman espied the
two following carts and inconti
nently took to his heels. t
A Peculiar Find.
A friend of ours, who resides in
that neigh borhood, a day or two
since found a turkey's nest, with
three eggs In it, on the sidewalk on
Fifth street, between Walnut and
Red Cross. A clump of weeds grew
in that place and pedestrians had
been In the habit of goiug around
instead of through it, and it was in
this clump that the nest was found.
It was a peculiar circumstance bjit
need not justify the boys in beating
up every clump of bushes theycome
across hereafter.

With the Glores.
Much interest has nlready been
excited iu the glove contest td take
place between Profs. Lay ton and
Dempsey at Wrightsville Beach one
week, from to-morrow. Mr. Demi
sey Is already in training and Mr.
Layton begins to-morrow. Both are
pugilists of record, and they promise
to be pretty evenly matched. Prof.
Lay ton's usual weight is about 150
pounds, and he will reduce it to 135
pounds for the contest Prof. Detnp
sey's weight is 155, aud he wilt re
duce to about 138. He is a cousin to
Jack Dempsey, the well known mid
dle weight champion and, is a pupil
of his.
By the way,"this training business
Is no joke. It "is made up of some
mighty hard work and it Is an or
deal that all pugilists dread.

and- Robbed on the Public nicbway
2?o Cine to the AsaaMlns.
- This entire community was startled
and shocked this morning when news
of a most dastardly j murder , and
robbery- was brought ito the city.
The highwaymen who have infested
the roads, leiding to the city have at
last got iu sohie bloody, work and
an old,; Inoffensive and higlily-es-teemed
citizen has been done to the
death for tlie sake of a 7ew paltry
dollars! I ' '
The (unfortunate victim is Mr.
Nathan Fails, an old fisherman, 70
years of age, who is known to al
most eVery resident of the city. Mr.
Fails resided on Masonboro Sound
aud came to the city yesterday af
ternoon with a load of fish. He had
$4 witli him when he left home and
the fish he sold here brought him
in t3. (He left for his heme as soon
as he had sold out and! passed the
first toll gate on the . turnpike at 8
o'clock; sitting in his cart and driv
ing his mule: It was about 9 o'clock
when he passed the second toll gate,
although Mr. Patton, the keeper, is
not sure as to the exact time. His
cart did not stop there but Kept
right on. Mr. Fails was ' sitting in
the bottom part of thejeart, jappar
ntlv nklfipr. Imt ! thev! did not see
him until after he had passed. From
the description of the position he oc
cupied in the cart it would hppear
to have been the same jn which he
was found and therefore the theory
has been "advanced that the crime
urns onminiMpd between the first
.irwi connrwlr tnll tates. This can
...... - - - -( r ; ,
perhaps be determined by finding
the exact time at L which he passed
both gates and comparing the inter
val with the tune renuired tor tne
mule td walk the distance.
Mrr Iails was found sitting in'his
cart at his "own gate, or, rather, at
that of .his son, sir. u;ranK j? ansf wirn
whom ne lived, with his head fallen
forward on his chest and blood upon
his face, which had evidently flown
from his head. The cart had; ca
reened! somewhat owing-to the fact
that one of tlje wheels was partly in
the ditch in front of the fence. It is
probable that Mr." Fails fell asleep
in his cart and that the murderer
climbed in softly behind hjm and
ehot him to death as he stood above
him. This is almost a certainty from
the direction of the. wound and the
position of the body. - j j
The body was first discovered by
Mr. George Alford, at daylight this
morning; as he was on his way , to
his fishing boat, who at once made
the fact known when Mr. Willie
Lumsden rode up to the! city and
notified Coroner Jacobs who at once
went down to Masonboro; and made
a Vreliminary examination. The
Coroner found that Mr. jFails had
been shot In the top of ttuihead with
a pistol and he judged that the ball
was probably of .32 oahbre. Mr.
Fails' pockets had been Rifled and
everything taken therefrom. 'Ihe
left pocket of his pantaoons had
been rippedoutaiid the right pocket
was hanging out.' The body was
cold when found and it is ! probable
that it had remained in the cart at
the fence all night long.j Coroner
Jacobs empaneleda jury: iatMasonx
horo and returned to the' city! anI
called upon I)f. Burbank, j who ac
compauied him to Masonporo auoui
12 o'clock to day. ' j J
These are all of the p'articuiftrs to
be obtained up to 4 oclock this af
ternoon, at which hour the coroner

Macerated, it is supposed from an at-j,

This is one oftlieiiiiost dastardly
