.A night or two since a party of colored
musicians, who had been playing at & ball
near the corner of Eighth and Chesnut
streets, met at a store near byund were dis- I
Dutin2 about the nroceeds lf the nieht's
work. Finally they carried the quarrel to
such an extreme that the proprietor of the
store called to police officer Josh. -Green,
who was on that beat, and requested him
to come in,- quell the disturbance and get
the party out. He stepped into the Store and
commenced expostulating with them about
creating such a disturbance, when one of
the party, a man by the name of Henry
Adams, informed the officer, with an oath,
that his place was on the street and that he
had no right to come inside a man's store
to interfere wltli"any oncf Thereupon " he
(Adams) turnedY-ff the only light in the
store, the proprietor having been called Otit
for something, when he seized a stick and
struck Officer Green over the head with it,
inflicting a terrible cut oyer his left eyej pen-;
.'tratingto the bone. Adams was subset
quently arrested and is now in the Guard
House awaiting an examination. Green's
wound is a very severe and painful, but is
not considerable seriou-? y. ; . r; v

THIRD
DAY.
Yesterday was undoubtedly th day of
n ' ',-.. ' . 1 - I
the Fair. At an earlv hour the crowd mm
menced going out to the Grounds, which
soon presented an appearance much more
animated than the day previous.
f Floral Hall was more beautiful than ever,
and was crowded with lovely ladies. And
we lipre just venture the remark, en par
int, what a number of pretty ladies Wil
mington and the surrounding country can
exhibit on an occasion of this character I
. At 12 . o'clock, the , regular annual
; ADDRESS ' "'-!
was delivered by Rev. R. S. Moran, D. D.,
from Judge;,
Stand, opposite the Grand
Standf the latter bein fiUed with
a large crowd of interested auditors,
Jft . . n th. ' . t..t .
ernqd gentleman acquitted himself of his
task in a very felicitous manner. We
greatly regret that we are unable to publish
the address in full, but Dr. Moran'stime
inA flnnrptlQ in TlHI hnt I ll- - Mnran'a tima 1
having been so much occupied recently he
had been unable to write it out inextenso,
though lhe notes from which he delivered
it were elaborate and systematically ar
ranged. We are therefore compelled to
allude to it simply in general terms.
.The subject matter chosen was, of course,
agricultural in fact, "Agriculture": first,
as it benefitted man; and second in a higher
and grander sense. In telling the audience
"what he knew about farming," he surprised
them by the extent of his. knowledge in this
direction. Dr. Moran possesses high talents
nnd great fluency as a speaker, is a labori
ous and deep thinker and a thorough and
polished scholar. His address was highly
pleasing not at all prolix, but calculated
to interest and entertain, in which it suc
ceeded most admirably.
In the afternoon there was another
.' , .. TROTTING MATCH
for an Association purse, between bay geld
ing Wilmington, entered by Mr. Van Ma-
comber, of this city, and bay horse Henry
Clay, by Mr. J. C. Smith, of Fayettevjlle.
Mile heats; best two in three. Wilmington
won the race in two straight heats, scoring
8:18 and 3.07 respectively 5 This is consid
ered very excellent time with the track in
so heavy a condition.
There was no balloon ascension, owing
to the fact that the balloon itself having
alighted in the branches of a tree when it
descended the evening previous, was so
perforated with' rents as ., to render exten
sive repairs necessary, and which could not
be completed in time for the anticipated
exhibition. It will, however, be all right
to-day, and the young balloonist will take
his accustomed trip to the clouds on the
trapeze bar.
We were pleased to notice a large num
ber of visitors from a distance, though our
townspeople did not come out in the usual
force. ' It is calculated that there were be-
tween 3,000 and 4,000 upon the Grounds
during the day. This is by no means an
over-estimate, and we believe Jt to be a
strictly fair calculation. The crowd seemed
interested, and there was always some ob
ject to attract attention. ,There were nu
merous quantities of lottery pedlars, in- ad
dition to the regular side-shows, and these
managed to keep a crowd around their re
spective stands throughout the day.
Good order was generally observed, there
being a number of special policemen to aid
the Marshals. We do not believe that a
corporal's guard of real drunken men were
to be' seen during the entire day, though to
mach Qowpbpi Jcoarraee, tifiilLdd kIU t
There was some slight improyemenj in
the way of exhibitions, thougH the bulk of
the articles were on display the previous day.
'There was a rery tame fox chase in the
afternoon, the animal making, .ar poor run
for his life; but we are promised a livelier
time today;

RAILBOADSACeiDENT.
Cars on the Weldon Road Thrown off
the Track A Narrow Escape.
Yesterday morning, between 1 and 2
o clock, when the Southern bound train on
the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad was
about half way between Warsaw. and Mag
nolia, containing about four hundred pas
sengers, the most of whom were on their
way to the Fair in this city, an accident oc
curred which might have proven most disas
trous in its consequences. It seems that the
engineer discovered the fact that a piece of
rail about three or four feet in length was
missing from the track, but hoped as the
train was going at a good rate of speed, she
being about an hour behind time, that he
might take the train safely over the gap,
:which is frequently done, with a full head
of steam, when an entire rail is missing.
The engine, tender and mail car passed oyer
safely, but the baggage car ran off the track,
carrying with it the other cars. . These
were all tumbled over in such a way that
the wheels of one side rested in the ditch
at the side of the track, inclining them over
in such a manner that some of the pas
sengers in the sleeping car were thrown from
their berths on one side, into those of their
neighbors on the other. As the cars left
the track the mail car, which remained on
the track with the engine and tender, be
came detached from the other cars,
and they sped on their way for-some
distance. In the meantime the mass
of human beings hastily, "extricating
themselves from the wrecked' cars present
ed a lively scene. Fortunately no one was
seriously hurt and none of the cars were
badly damaged. The escape of the large
number on the pfkln was, however, almost
miraculous, and their good fortune under
the circumAances is the more striking when
it is taken into consideration that 50 yards
or less from where the accident occurred
was a deep cut or ravine over which was a
trestle. The baggage was taken from the
baggage, car and placed on the mail train
and brought safely to this city, while the
Northern bound train, which was " stopped
by the obstructions and could not proceed,"
returned with the passengers, arriving here
in time for them all vtq participate in the
Fair and rejoice over their, narrow escape.
Accidents of the character above
alluded to are becoming much too frequent
on the 'Weldon road for. the comfort of
travellers, and we hope something may be
done to remedy the evil before it shall cul
minate in terrible disaster and deatE" ' "

Quick dispatch that
A druken white man, but full of rogue
ry in all his drunkenness, essayed to remove
a drunken negro from the Pair Grounds
yesterday afternoon. ? He represented him
self at the gate as a special policeman,
but when on the . embankment between
the Grounds :i and the railroad track,
he got into ; a scuffle with - the negro and
slippedilshand behind the darkle and ab
stracted his pocket-book. This he handed
slyly to a little negro boy standing near,
but the big darkie pitched into him and
they both rolled heels Over . head down the
embankment.'1 The negro, however, fell on
top and commenced pounding 'his '' antago
nist in good fashion; "Officer Sellars took
them both in hand. The transaction was
witnessed by several gentlemen.

A public trial of twenty years' duration, in every"
