The war between the New York

The New York Sun and Philadel

Rascality is rampant in New Or

We are still looking for that pro

as there is talk of any county being
close.

"The Mahoneites in Virginia are

Major John W.' Daniel, the nomi

born io Lynchburg September 5, 1842.
So he is not yet 39 years old. lie is
well educated and is a man of bil-
iant talents. . He woo his title in the

as bat few with titles now ever got
nearer to a battlefield than a corn
field or a tobacco factory.
It does seem that the Pender pro
hibition picnics had a bad effect on
that county. Io all its limits but 308
votes could be found in favor of pro

Penderese walked right up to the
ballot-boxes and said they didn't
want any prohibition in their this

The Norwegian brig Ceres was

W. H. Howe, Sr., a well known

Don't forget the vocal and .in
strumental concert by the Arion Quartette

sic, and especially on the waters, go pleas

The latest novelty . and attrac
tion on our streets is the patent sun
shade, which is so arranged that the person
is freed from the inconvenience of holding it
in his hands. There are already four or five
of them in the city and moie have been or
dered.
; Don't water your shade and
fruit trees with the water and suds in which
clothing has been washed. A 'gentleman
tried the experiment recently and killed his
trees, and has come to the conclusion that
the soda which was used in the water was
what caused the death of the trees.
In alluding to the death of Mr.
Harry Simmons, in Saturday's issue, we
were unintentionally led into an error in
stating that his remains were escorted to
the grave by the Order of Rechabites. It
was the organization known as tbe Wil
mington Acrobats that performed this ser.
vice, tbe deceased being an honorary mem
ber of the same, which is composed of a
number of young gentlemen of this city.
Capture at Zat.
It will be remembered that a man who
gave his name as Williams was arrested
here a week or two since, on the suspicion
of being one Obadiah Ross, who, it is al
leged, was concerned in the brutal and un
provoked murder of a respectable merchant
by tbe came of Nathaniel Crawall, near
Bartow, Georgia, in the winter of 1877, but
who, when the sheriff of the county in
which the murder occurred came here to
identify the prisoner, was found not to be
the man, although very closely resembling
him It appears now, however, from the
Georsia papers, that the real Obadiah Ross
bas at last been taken, he having been cap
tured at Ninety 8ix- S. C, on Wednesday
last, by two detectives named PriscoU and
DeMontmoUnwh0tt lastaccuhts, were
conveying hinrtoTjaH heavily ironed. The
prisoner acknowledged that he is Obadiah
Ross, but stonily "avers his innocence, and
has employed - eminent counsel to defend
him.
