WILMINGTON, N. C., THURSDAY.
Arrived. - :
i The new truck ofjthe Fifth Ward Inde
pendent Bucket Company No. 1 arrived
from New York cm ibe steamship Benefactor
3resterday. It is a jvery handsome truck,
light and very easily managed. It is from
the manufactory of Fred. J. Miller, 65 Lib
erty street, N. Y. and its equipments con
sist 'of four ladders, j three of which can be
joined together, making an extension lad
der thirty-two feet in length, one large chain
hook and four roofj hooks, four lanterns,
sixteen rubber buckets, eight of which came
with thet ruck. There are hooks for the buck
ets, eight on the topj of the truck and eight
Underneath; but these will -not constitute all
the buckets to be used. The company were
on hand and took the truck to a position in
front of Messrs. Adrian & Tollers' store,
where it remained! for some time, after
"which it was taken to the truck house on.
Fifth, between Nun and Church streets,
which is a very convenient building for the
purpose. On the sides of the truck is neat
ly painted the words, ,45th W. I. B. Co.
'No. 1." lt y ,
e The uniform of the company,' which has
been ordered, will consist of a black cap,
.with, red front, with "the name and number
of the company in front; a black belt, with
name and number of company in front, and
dark gray shirt with red trimmings. i

is n4 doubt destined to prove a valuable!

Muttuy tu tbe Coiiwtf Jail. : ' -
: The prisoners in the county I jail bccame
mutinous yesterday morning and refused to
be returned te their respective quaitera, de-
fying the efforts of thej jailor to control
them. In fact their resistance became sol
determined that the jailor finally sent for
assistance to the City Hall and a number of
policemen were dispatched t the jail to
quell the disturbance and enforce obedi
ence to the mandates of the lawful, -officer
in chrge of them. They appeared to be
acting (under the leadership of a white
prisoner by the name of Mc Williams, and;
their complaint was that they were notsuffl-j
ciently fed. One of them drew out a parcel
from bis cell containing a piece of corn
bread about seven inches long, two and a
half inches wide and two inches thick.
which he said comprised the' rations for!
himself and another prisoners for one day,!
alleging at the same lime that if they were!
sufficiently fed by the jailor f they would
cause no trouble. Tbe Sheriff, on the other
hand, assures us that' to his certain knowl
edge each prisoner r ;ceivs a pound and a
half of bread and a j ound of meat as his or
her Rations every daj , being a half pound
more of bread than the law requires, and
that in addition they receive molasses and
pea?, which are not required by law. -The
Sheriff says that as aj general thing the pris"
oners get fat on their prison diet, and he
thinks they have little reason to complain

Tbe Can-can In Jllacon, Ga. A Sboot-
, Ine Aflalr.
j A shooting affair occurred at Macon, Ga
on Friday night last between Tom Perry,
trapeze performer with the Female Min
strels and Can-Can Company, advertised to
perform in this city on the 8th and Oth insts.,
and a young Macbnite by the name of
Schacckly. It appears, that after the per
formance that evening Schoeckly, who had
become smitten with one of the young dam
sels connected j with the troupe," sent her a
note stating that he would call upon her at
tho Lanier, House, where the troupe were
stopping, and invited her to partake of f
champagne and oyster supper, etc. He
subsequently repaired to the hotel and
wended his way to the sitting room, where
he expected to meet the charmer, when, as
the account in the Savannah Morning News
says, 4,hc was suddenly knocked off bis'
pins by a terrible blow from the lively
genius who does the trapeze business, and
another male attache of the troupe saluted
him on the proboscis with a healthy bunch!
of fives. ; He was knocked about like a foot
ball, and battered; and bruised picked him-j
self up the best he could and retreated rap-i
idiy. iv4,.;;;"4v-
j Determined j upon revenge, however,:
Schoeckly, with some of his friends, re-i
paired to the depot on Sunday night,' when
the company were about leaving the city,
and immediately opened i fire upon Perry,
wounding him seriously. The affair created
great excitement, nearly the entire popula
tion of Macon flocking to tbe scene. - At
last accounts the wounded man was in At
lanta in a dangerous condition.
The lleutic. .' ro ape. :
i Theladies, oi course, will let the Can-Can
troupe, who perform here , next, week,
severely alone, i But for the benefit of the
gentlemen who may be interested in this
matter we give the following from the Ma
con Telegraph: j ; " p
We regret to hear that considerable dis
appointment was, experienced by many
Benedicts at the nature of the performance
at Ralston Hall on Friday night. After
tearing themselves from the delights and
comforts of slippers and dressing gowns and
the sweet prattle and loving words of wives
and little ones, it was too bad, they thought,
to find so little that was naughtily nice in
the 44 Can-Can." They complained that the
dresses were too long and the dancers too
modest. They fondly hoped for a big revel
in the results of contraband contortions and
suggestive saltations. As one of them re
marked,' almost with tears in bis eyes:
44 Only to the garters after all !" Then he
walked off, mournfully humming, 44 Where
are now the hopes I cherished ?"
The same paper adds: I
Tbe Can-Can performance was not what
was expected. ! It did not violate all the
rules of decency and propriety It was not
a gross outrage upon all the laws of mor
ality. There have been many coarser per
formances in tbe ball by highly reputable
ccmpauies. - i
Tbe Light Artillery company.
' Several gentlemen met 3laj. Reiiley at

pose of organizing a Light Artillery Com
