Fanny Davenport will probably appear
here at an early day. 1 his community
was inexpressibly shocked yesterday on re
ceipt of the news of the death of Mr. Ed
ward A. Batchelor, who wos one of our
best known and most popular young men.
Mr. Batchelor was conductor of the local
freight train on the Raleigh and Augusta
Air Line and had been connected with that
road and the Raleigh and Gaston for three
years. lesteraay morning ne went out
with his train, with Mr. 1 . HI. t leming as
engineer. When at Cameron, nity-six miles
from Raleigh, the train backed on a side
track to leave some cars. Conductor
Batchelor, not seeing a brakeman near,
stepped between the tender and a box car
to couple them. As he stepped out from
the cars, after having done this, his ulster
caught in the track and he was thrown
backwards. The heavy projecting brake
of the tender extends downward to within
a few inches of the track. Caught by this
he was slowly pushed backwards, being
crushed against the ground. A negro, at
some distance, was the only one who saw
him fall, and shonted to the engineer. But
for the brake, which pushed him aong, the
wheels of the tender would have passed
over him. When taken out he was con
scious, and shook hands with Drs. Blue
and Turner, who were called to attend him.
He lived a few hours. He was a son of
Mr. Joseph B. Batchelor. As the
churches composing the North Carolina
Christian Conference are spread over a
large section of our State, as well as por
tions of Virginia, a few words concernmg
the work of its late session, held at Cataw

November 18th-22d, may interest our
readers. It met on Friday, November 18th;
a large delegation was in attendance from
the various churches. The Rev. Prof. W.
S. Long. A. M.. was chosen president, and
Rev. W. W. Staley, A. M., the superinten
dent of public instruction for Alamance

tune, and each report elicited a discussion
of interest.

Blind Tom.
Our music-loving friends will have one
more opportunity of listening to the won
derful performance of Blind Tom at the
Opera House on Wednesday evening. One
of the effects of his astounding exhibition
of genius frequently crops out in such
manifest indications of bewilderment,
coupled with genuine appreciation as is
contained in the following from the Jack
sonville (El.) Journal of a late date: "What
is he ? An enigma, a mystery. A some
thing that no man can understand, a phe
nomenon no living man can explore. His
performances are astounding; they are
more marvellous. What secret power,
what comprehension can there be in that
scattered and 'ill-balanced mind that can
grasp, aye, master, a sonata of Beethoven
the immortal, of Chopin, a rhapsody of
Liszt ? Yet he does it. That unseemly
skull of Blind Tom's envelopes a brain that
is the strangest compound of weakness and
strength, obtuseness and perception, imbe
cility and genius that ever mortal man be
held."
Larceny of an Overcoat
A colored man named Tom Wescott was
arrested on Sunday, on a warrant issued by
Justice E. H. McQuigg, charged with, steal
ing an overcoat from one Richard Martin.
It seems that Wescott ' sad been1 rooming
with Martin and knew where he kept his
key. He went there Saturday to get some
article of his own, and made it convenient
to appropriate Martin's; coat at the same
tune. A search warrant was issued and the
coat recovered, and it was in evidence, when
the case came before Justice McQuigg, yes
terday, that Wescott had tried to sell it to
two or three different parties.
Defendant was required Jo give bond in
the sun of $50 for his appearance at the
present term of the Criminal Court, in de
fault of which he was lodged in jail.

A Man Attempt to Snoot a TToman
A white man by the name of Charles
Anderson, said to be a runner for a sailor
boarding house, had a difficulty with
young white woman named Sue Johnson,
on Nutt street, yesterday afternoon, about
4 o'clock, when he deliberately drew a
pistol from his pocket and discharged one
barrel at her. and would probably have re
peated the dangerous experiment but for
the fact that he was quickly seized by
Officer Watkins, of the police force, and
the weapon taken from him, when he was
conveyed to the station house and looked
up. The pistol used on the occasion
was a seven-shooter, and, upon exami
nation, every barrel save one was found to
be loaded. Anderson is said to have been
quite close to the woman at the time and
Officer Watkins says he cannot imagine
how he came to miss her. The two had
been out in the woods for a walk and had
quarreled, and upon arriving at the spot
mentioned above he remarked, "I'll shoot
you!" and attempted to suit the action to
the word. The case will come up before
Mayor Smith for investigation this morn
ing. Mayor's Conrtu
The Mayor ha.d an unusually number of
Saturday night cases before him yesterday
morning, one of the effects of the cold
wave, which calls for "suthing warm-like
to keep off the chills."
James Burnett, colored, charged with
disorderly conduct, such as cursing, swear
ing and using obscene language, on Market
street, was ordered to pay a fine of $2.
Lou Batson, colored, for amusing herself
in a like manner, was required to fork over
the same amount or go below for five days.
John Selerman and George Johnson,
both colored, charged with engaging in an
affray on Nutt street, on Saturday afternoon
last, were next called up. and, after hearing
the evidence, judgment was suspended
upon the payment of costs.
Wellington Howe, colored, charged with
acting disorderly in the neighborhood of
the Purcell House, was mulcted in the sum
of $2.
Patrick Sullivan, for being drunk and
acting very disorderly on Nutt street, on
Sunday night, was required to pay a fine
of $2, and will be turned over to a magis
trate who has a warrant against him for
some other offense.
The Alleged Victim or Conjuration.
Ben James, the colored "crank," alluded
to in our last as having been sent to the
Poor House where he could indulge his
fancies about conjurors and "spooks" with
out risking the lives of himself and helpless
children, escaped from that institution Sun
day afternoon, taking his little ones with
him. He ventured back yesterday morn
ing, however, to get some article he had
left behind, when he was seized by Super
intendent Savage and locked up. His child -xen
were subsequently- found at the former
home of the afflicted man, corner of Front
and Dawson (not Queen) streets, where
they had started a big fire at the imminent
risk of burning the house and themselves.
They were taken back to the Poor House.
Mr. Savage had not thought it necessary to
lock James up, preferring rather to indulge
him as far as possible, but is now convinced
that he will have to be kept under strict
surveillance.
Kadatratee Court.
John Selman, colored, was arraigned be
fore Justice Hall, yesterday, charged with
the larceny of a pair of pants, the property
of W. H. Markley. Defendant was ad
judged guilty and ordered to give bond in
the sum of $100 for laxs appearance at the
present term of the Criminal Court, in de
fault of which he was committed to jail.
C. W. Garrason next had a hearing be
fore the same justice, on the affidavit of
John Selman, charged with assault and
battery, and was ordered to pay one penny
and the costs.
W. H. Markley was next arraigned on
the affidavit of John Selman, charged with
assault and battery, and was fined one pen
ny and the costs.
Rosa Barnes, colored, was next called
upon, upon complaint of John Selman, to
answer to the charge of assault and battery,
but the case was dismissed at the cost of the
prosecutor.
Tne Fire on tne Norwegian Barque
Elektra.
The fire on board the Norwegian barque
Elektra, mention of which was made in
Sunday's Star, was finally extinguished on
Saturday night without further damage
than that sustained by the cotton. There
were 925 bales on board, of which 300
bales were shipped by Mr. E. Lilly and the
remaining 625 by Messrs. Williams & Mur
chison, It is supposed that the cottqn has been
considerably damaged, but to what extent
is not now known. The cargo is being dis
charged at Messrs. Fowler & Morrison's
wharf, and stowed in their yard. The loss
sustained by Messrs. Williams & Murchi
son and Mr. Lilly is covered by insurance 1
in the North America and Orient Mutual.

The following are the indications for to
day: For the Middle Atlantic States, warmer,
east to south winds, falling barometer and

east to southeast winds, fair weather except
in the southern portions, local rains, sta
tionary or slowly falling barometer and
slight changes in temperature. Gulf States,
increasing cloudiness and areas of rain, fall
ing barometer, slight changes in tempera
ture and winds generally from east to south.
Tennessee and the Ohio Valley, partly
cloudy weather followed by light rains,
southerly to westerly winds, falling ba
rometer'and stationary or slight rise in tem
perature. A Proposed Compliment to an Illustri
ous Iady.
A movement has been set on foot in Chi
cago by Mrs. Francis EWillard, seconded
by ladies representing ten Southern and eight
Northern States, to compliment the vener
able and most excellent widow of President
James K. Polk, who still survives at Nash
ville, by having her portrait painted and
placed by the side of that of her husband in
the White House. It is needless to-say we
fully concur in the plans and sympathize
with the object of the ladies, for American
women have had no better representative of
their higher virtues in the White House
than Mrs. Polk. Mrs. H. Vollers has
been designated as Vice President for Wil
mington, and will gladly receive and for
ward any contributions to the desired end
which may be placed in her hands.
Rossi to Appear in Wilmington.
It is with great pleasure that we announce
that arrangements have been perfected with
the Manager of our Opera House for tke
appearance here on the 19th of December
of Signor Ernesto Rossi, the great Italian
tragedian, who is now playing in the North
with such brilliant success. He will be
supported by a first-class company, who
will speak English, though his own lines
will be delivered in Italian. He will im
personate Othello, and it will undoubtedly
be the greatest theatrical event that has
occurred in Wilmington for years.
Kicked fer a Horse.
Mr. Berry Binford, formerly of this city,
buVnowof Monroe, Union county, received
severe iajuries on Thursday last from a
kick from a horse, as we learn from a gen
tleman just from that place. Mr. B. has
been laid up since the accident, but it is
thought he will soon be out.

MRS. WINSLOW'S SOOTHING SYRUP. Rev
Sylvanus Cobb thus writes the " Boston Christian
.Freeman : we wouia py no mi mm u recommend
anv kind of medicine which we did not know to
be good particularly for infanta. But of Mrs.
Winslow's Soothing Syrup we can speak from
knowledge ; in our own family it has proved a
blessing indeed, by giving an infant troubled witn
colic pains, quiet sleep, and its parents unbroken
rest at night. Most parents can appreciate these
blessings. Here is an article whion works to per
fection, and which is harmless; for the sleep
which it affords the infant is perfectly natural.

"Things that will wear are not to be had cheap.
Whether it be a fabric or a principle, if it Is to

and permanence, we must pay for them."
