The great day of heat in St. Louis
last year, during which such a large

was probably tbe - hottest day - in
Wilmington during the century. 'The
thermometer at 3 o'clock P. M.
stood at 99 in oar office, which is a

It wa over 100 in many localities.
It stood 143 in the sun. ' It reminded
us of what a humorous correspon

Washington tells of the nice plan of
Hayes and company to thwart, the
Democrats and still have the usual
number of marshals and deputies.
Tbe Baltimore Sun's correspondent
writes on the 10th inst: ;
vThty say they expect no resignations of
marshals and no curtailment , in their ap
pointment of deputies.: 'The. emoluments
of marshals and their deputies come almost
wholly, from an apportionment of the fees
collected, and as a very long time is given
for the payment into the treasury -of said
fees, it is anticipated that marshals will
take advantage of the liberal limit allowed
and make no considerable return of the
moneys collected until -Congress, at its
next session, shall have provided for their
compensation."
The Democrats did not purpose to
impair in any way the "legitimate
business of the United States mar
shals," as Senator Beck says; but
neither did they intend to allow the.
abuse as has been the case in the
past. - But, according to the above,
there will be no "curtailment in the
appointment of deputies."

To give our friends at a distance some
idea of the business of this port, even when
a great many are talking of "dull times,"
we would state that 62 Norwegian" and
Swedish vessels alone have cleared with
Cargoes from Wilmington for f breign ports
during the six months ending June 80th,
1879,'aa reported by .the Vice Consul, Mr,
RE; Heide. These-represented a total
tonnage of 19.899 tons, or an average of
313 tons each, and a total of 36,784 7a. 8d.
in freights. Ia addition to the above, one
vessel of 292 tons cleared in ballast to load
at a port on the coast . The vessels in the
above list spent while here an ' average of
about $800 each,, or a total of about $49,
600, and the beauty about it is that they
leave all their money here and take none
away, tbe. freights being payable on the
other side of the water,
This, we take it, is a pretty good show

Tbe Heated Term.
During a very hot spell of weather there
are usually many conflicting statements as
to the number of degrees the thermometer
indicates. To give an accurate statement
the instrument must be placed in the pas
sage or ball way in a comparatively dark
place, and where there is no glare and no
current from a damp locality, and where
the instrument cannot ba influenced by a
hot current from a shed or roof covered
with metal. -
Yesterday afternoon, at half-past four
o'clock, at the City Hall, in the Treasurer's
office, the thermometer marked 100 degrees.
The instrument was placed in accordance
with the above rale. This was undoubt
edly the hottest day experienced in this
city in twenty-five years, a fact in regard
to which there seems to be very little dif
ference of opinion.
In summing up we find .that the ther
mometer reached 103 at the Signal Office,
at about 3 o'clock; touched 100 at the Star
offlce about the same hour, went up to 102
at Mr. Norwood GDes' Insurance offlce,
and up to 104 at one or two points on Front
and Market streets.
At, Masonboro Sound, we learn, tbe
thermometer marked fully 100 degrees at
2P.M.
' During the aliernoon five men in the
employ of Capt. : L, S, Belden, engaged in
rolling rosin, -were' overcome- by the heat
and obliged to quit work," three of them
being quite seriously affected. .
- A colored laborer by the name of Henry
Hall, who was engaged in unloading cot
ton lies from 'the schooner 7. J, Seward,
opposite Messrs.. DeRosset & Gov's store;
was overcome' tj -the. heat .and ''cramps
from overloading ihU stomach with water,
and his condition was so serious at One time
that it was tiglllwonldtdie'liad
medical attention and -"finally recovered
sufficiently to be able to walk to his home.
The most remarkable instance of the se
verity of the heat is that reported of a man
living at One of the Sounds, in the neigh
borhood of Mr. Dougald McMillan's place.
He states that he started. to .town on Friday
with a floclc of sheep, and that the road
was bo dry and hot that many of their
hoofs came off, and he had to . leave some
of them on the road. ; f, ; 4

nig Own Brains.
Our city t pas ahe; seem jif, one of the
most terrible tragedies that has ever occurs
red within its limits. In the" very heart of
the ? town in' a crowded ' 5 thoroughfare
thronged with Saturday night purchasers.
woman was deliberately murdered, and in
a few minutes; later, in a "retired back lotj
only a few' biocks" distant the fclosely-i
pursued, desperate . murderer deliberately
sent his own soul to join his victim ' i j
About 11 o'clock last night the victim of
the murder, a very bright mulatto named
Mary Ratcliff , was gojog rip Market stree
with a eolored man nimed Jim. , who
cooks for WilUam Marstellar, at a stall in
the Market House. When they: arrived
abreast of. tbe furniture : stqre of Messrsj
Behrehds & Munroej at the intersection of
Second street, they met up with James
Heaton, a well known young white man
about town - whose , paramour the young
woman is notoriously reported to have been.
for several years past. There are rumors
of a . quarrel between Heaton. and herself.
ba Thursday and she is said b have gone;
down to Smithville Friday for the purpose;
of avoiding him, having stated to : parties;
on the boat that she wanted to get out of;
town for . shy was afraid , he would kill!
her. When Heaton met ; her .jast night,
he is said to have asked her, to grve
him her hand. She : refused his re
quest, which was several times repeated.
Finally Heaton drew a . pistol and, fired
three shots at the woman in rapid succes- ;
sion, two of which struck in the street, but
one of them took deadly effect in her body. '
The ball, as was subsequently discovered
on the physiciari'a "examination, entered
just below the right collar bone, and passed
directly in, entering the right lung about
the apex and severing an artery in its
passage, which causea miernpi,. pernor
rhage, producing death in about fifteen
minutes. )
As soon as the pistol shots were, heard,
Officer O'Brien, who was on tbe opposite
side of tbe street, rushed over, and saw
Heaton as he turned and fled. Officer
O'Brien pursued him up Market street to
Third, and saw him turn up Third to Prin
cess, and further, pursued him up Princess
to Fourth street, where he lost sight of him.
A large crowd at once collected around
the body of the woman, Drs. Lane, King,
Burbank and Walker among them, all but
the latter of these medical gentlemen ar
riving before death occurred. On the ar
rival of the Coroner, the body was taken
in an ambulance and conveyed to the house
of the deceased woman, on Third, between
Brunswick and Bladen streets.. .
In the mean time the police, under the
direction of their efficient Chief, Capt.
Brock, were scouring the streets in every
direction in search or Heaton. The route
he had taken, as followed by Officer
O'Brien, was further confirmed by the
testimony of two gentlemen who met
Heaton at . the corner . of Third , .and
Princess streets, ' runnincr with a pistol
in his Band. He was ingrogated by one
of the gentlemen as to Che cause of the
shooting down the street, and he replied
that a man had shot a woman down there
and that he (Heaton) was trying to head
him off. ' . -;';;' . '
About the time that Mary Ratcliff died
information was brought to the Chief of Po
lice .that a pistol shot had been heard
in a vacant lot known as the old Morris
lot, on Fourth between Princess and Ches
nut streets. We should have mentioned in
the proper place tha Officer O'Brien re
ported having heard a pistol shot soon after
losiae stent : of Heaton: and located 4 the
report, to the best of his judgment, on the
corner of Fifth and Chesnut streets. -On
receipt of this intelligence CapU
Brock caused a search to "be 'made in the
vacant lot where the shot was as id to have
been fired an,dgron'a further") reported tb
have I been heard . Capt.
Goodman"
and
die
Officers 1 Everett 'and Walkef
were
patched on this duty, and ordered to take
a " lantern and search every part of . the
lot .' Subsequent developmeats confirmed
the fact that the fugitive must have
gone in the course followed by the officers
in their search. ,. On Fourth street, leading.
into the back yard of Mrs.; Fulton's pre
mises, a large ; gate, ; being t partly ajarj!
opens up a dark passage which; must have.
seemed a friendly shelter to the criminal in
his flight - Darting into -thU retreat, he
must have followed it to 'the outhouses in
the . rear of ' the residence mentioned,
and' thea taking ' an bullet at right
angler" to his : first' course, he"' found
him3elf - in the large vacant lot. In tho
most remote corner of this enclosure the
officer found him. lvine flat upon his
back with a bullet hole through tbe right
temple, . alive .but breathing .heavily, the
pistol as if just dropped from bis nerveless
hand, evidencing that the last act of this
terrible tragedy was
-ii i j siiitaDji --.if.
It was evident that Heaton was in that
state of haste and desperation as to antici
pate capture every minute. He lay at the
foot of a high fence which ne had evident
ly attempted ioscaieVhufjnklf probability
missed his footing and fearful of capture
put the pistol to his head and fired .in sheer
desperation'.
Ined the wound, i The -ball entered 'the.
right templefromu. which the. braip. Iws
oozing, and lodged.in the head. 1Jt iwnuli
have passed entirely through the headj hut
for the weapon having been held so close,
The ' skin around : the wound was ' badly
scorched from the explosion of the charge.
- .The pistol ; which lay. by his. side, and
with, which . the; fearful double deed ;of
murder and, suicide was- committed, was
an old-fashioned Colt's, belt "pfstol, about
33-inch Calibre,"' constructed on tbe ' old
percussion-cap style. Four cylinders were
found discharged f and - 'a fifth remains
loaded.j.iil itl: yds. m .', -1 f
Df. King at once declared the impossi
bility of bis recovering, though he admit
ted that life might cot. 6'e extinct for seve
ral hoursr :- - I 1 ' ' 1 ' A' ;
- When the - Coroner arrived-' the' same
heavy breathing 'continued'? and after he
bad, viewed;, the, body . ind ' jBurroundings,
the same "ambulan.ee, that had taken the
body of Mary Ratcliff. home conveyed the
almost lifeless .form of ' James Heaton to
the same house.' "When the ambulance ar
rived there, which was about 1.30 o'clock
this A. M.V the driver reported Heaton still
breathing, but oa examination by the physi
cians be was found to he dead., ' :
The two corpse are now both lying in

James Heaton was a fine looking young
man, about 32 or S3 years of age, a son of
Hon. .David Heaton, of Ohio, but who
represented the : Second JJorth Carolina
District in Congress under the reconstruc
tion acts. -He was a man4f wild and dis-
soJut1 habits- of very respectable f and
genteel appearance1 when sober, but filled
with desperation when drurtk. Last night,!
however, he seems to have been deliberate
ly sober. His record has been by no means
peaceful or reputable,and ia'ioo well known;
throughout the State to require rehearsal;
here. ". '" " ''

Mary Ratcliff, we think, was a native
here, a fine-looking mulatto woman, about
twenty-eight or thirty years old, in appear
ance almost a quadroon, and who has for
long years past been, devoted to her
murderer. ..
