The new capitol at New York has
cost already $1 3,000,000, and $1,
800,000 more has just been appro

the Brooklyn Bridge are the two big
gest frauds since the Tweed time.
It -seems that in Republican circles
in Washington the appointment of
Mr. Tom Cooper, as Collector of the
Sixth North Carolina District, is re
garded as having much significance.
In view of what occurred the Wash
ington correspondent of the Balti
more American writes:
"Mr. Cooper was a Sherman man during
the campaign, and his appointment and
confirmation were earnestly fought by Mr.
Thomas Keogb, the Stalwart Republican
from that State. A number of charges
were laid against him, all of which bo dis
proved to the satisfaction of certain Sena
tors who opposed him, and his induction
into office is looked upon as the first move
ment in an inaugural campaign to establish
an independent movement in that State,
which is expected to be successful."
The Raleigh News- Observer, refer

recollection, Prof. Brown, of the
University of North Carolina, repre
sented Hildreth as taking the Federal
view. But we are not certain. We
would not take him for a Democrat
in any sense from two facts in his
history. Fifty years ago he wrote
an abolition novel, and was connected
editorially with the New York Tri
fame under Horace Greeley.
The prosecution in the Malley case
has closed its testimonywhich is main
ly circumstantial. The Baltimore Sim
thus sums up what wras shown:
"For two days before her death the girl
had been voluntarily away from home in the
company of the three persons whqn it is
held, conspired to effect her ruin, and finally
her murder. The burden is sought to be
imposed on the defendants of accounting
for the presence of arsenic in the girl's
stomach and her body being found in the
water with no indications of drowning.
There is nothing to connect th Malley boys
directly with the supposed crime. The pre
sumption, however, is thought to be a fair
one that her associates up to within a tew
hours of her death were the guilty cause of
it. It may be doubted whether a sufficient
motive is shown. It is difficult to conceive
of circumstances under which her taking off
would have been such an advantage, or her
continuing to live such a disadvantage to
the accused as to be a probable reason for
their incurring the risks of murder. Their
action with regard to Jennie Cramer had
been destestable and heartless in the ex
treme, but it is held by many as a more rea
sonable hypothesis that the unfortunate
girl, realizing her unhappy situation, at war
with her family, viewing herself as an out
cast, and finding her supposed friends mer
ciless, committed suicide as the readiest
means of ending her troubles. "

Salisbury ttcaminer: Statesville
is one of the most beautiful and business
like towns in "Western North Carolina.
Quite a number of handsome new build
ings have just gone up, and others are in
process of erection. It has a good back
country, and the wagon trade is very con

brisk and lively young females travelling
about the country drumming for newspa

angels at something else, if only eating
taffy. A real living man as agent for a
newspaper, with the cheek of a government
mule, is sad sight enough.
Beaufort Telephone: Superin
tendent Worth, of the State Fish Commis
sion, has sent Mr. W. J. Doughty one
hundred thousand shad, which have been
released in Newport river. The
barque Rome, which arrived on Saturday
last from Cardiff, Wales, is the largest ves

though not fully loaded, has on board 896
tons of steel rails.
New Berne Commercial: The
trucking season was altogether the most
profitable and satisfactory that our farmers
havp enjoyed. The President of the
Midland road has promised to put the
steamer Tiger Lily on the roate from
Washington to Beaufort on the 20th of
June, touching at Swan Quarter, and to
run there during the summer season. Then
she is to go on regularly as a passenger,
mail and freight boat from New Berne to
points in Hyde county.
A man named Retler, residing
in Moore county, went to a mill the other
morning with a load of corn,, taking
his two young sons on the wagon with him.
The boys crawled under several bags of,
corn. One of them fell asleep and was
smothered by one of the bags falling on his
face. While the father was getting the
body from under the bags, the other boy,
who had jumped to the ground and was
standing near the wagon, was kicked on the
head by one of the horses and killed. The
father returned home with the bodies in the
wagon.
Statesville Landmark; The first
drummer from beyond the Blue Ridge, via
the Western North Carolina Railroad,
Paint Rock and Asheville, was here last
week. He represented a Knoxville gro

From a Nashville letter in the
Charlotte Observer: Thepersonel of the new
Bishops, as well as the points in their histo
ry, might be of interest to your readers: Dr.
Wilson is low, square-set, and stout. Dr.
Parker is about the average height, but has
a tendency to corpulency. Dr. Granberry
is slender, moderately tall and bald. Dr.
Hargrove is compactly built, with yery gray
hair, but a fine appearance. Bishop Parker
is a native of New York. Dr. N. H. D.
Wilson, of the North Carolina Conference,
was next to Dr. Hargrove on the vote, and
WILMINGTON, N. C, TUESDAY,
it is believed that if there had been perfect
unanimity in the North Carolina delegation
he would have run ahead of Dr. l. on the
first ballot, and would have stood a fair
chance of election on the second or third
ballot. Out of a delegation of twelve, ten
were understood to be for Dr. W. and two
against him.
Greensboro Patriot: Edgar Mc
Culloch, son of Joseph McCulloch, de
ceased, of this county, has been tendered
a cadetship at West Point. The appoint
ment was tendered to Robert Bingham
Lynch and Charles S. Gilmer, both of
whom declined. The cotton factory
owned and operated by O. S. Causey, at
High Point is the leading enterprise of that
growing town. The building is capacious
and modern, 40x145 feet, two stories, and
gives employment to about 40 or 50 hands.
Mr. Causey has added to the capacity of
his mill until now 3,000 spindles are em
ployed, making from $1,200 to $1,500
worth of warps and yarns per day. These
goods command a ready market, and are
sold principally in Philadelphia. In a short
time 132 looms will be started on colored
goods, plaids and stripes.
Charlotte Observer: The silver
pitcher which was won by the Augusta
company No. 8, in the reel race yesterday,
was last night presented to Miss Avonia B.
Conway, in the Central Hotel parlor.
Yesterday morning about 7 o'clock, John
Rohey, who has been employed at "Wilkes'
foundry, was sitting in the window of the
top story in the building on College street
occupied by Torrence & Bailey, when he
lost his balance and tumbled out. The win
dow was on the rear side of the house, and
to the ground was a fall of seventy feet.
Rohey struck on the platform which runs
along the first story of the house and
crushed through it to the ground, entirely
demolishing a section of the platform about
six feet long. He was picked up and laid
out in a room, dead, to all appearances, but
when Dr. Donoghue arrived and made an
examination, he pronounced the man to be
living. A severe concussion of the brain
and several fractures about the skull, was
the extent of his injuries. In the course of
an hour or two the man could talk, and
showed some signs of improvement. The
doctor thinks the man will get well.
Raleigh Neies- Observer : Mrs.
Sophia Rosenbaum, wife of Mr. J. M.
Rosenbaum, died in this city on yesterday
at 1 P. M., aged 42 years. The An
son Times announces that if the citizens
will grade and cross-tie the route from
Wadesboro to Asheville, a distance of ten
miles, Col. Bridgers' company will extend
the Cheraw and Salisbury road to that point.
A day or so since the Penitentiary au
thorities were gratified by the receipt of
the following brief letter from the negro
who some years ago stole a valuable horse
from Gen. W. R Cox, of this city. He
had escaped from the penitentiary some
time ago. We give the letter verbatim: "I
am Asheboro jail charge with stole a boss a
black boss send quick fur me. George
McCall." Mr. James M. Forrest died
suddenly yesterday afternoon about 3
o'clock at the boarding house of Mr. H. A.
Correll, on Bloodworth street. His death
is supposed to have been caused by an
overdose of laudanum. It will be
seen that the number of delegates entitled
to seats in the State convention is limited,
and that the construction we had placed
on the resolution heretofore published was
correct. But the basis has been lowered.
Under the rules now printed, the State con
vention, if full, would consist of about 800
delegates, but we know from experience
that some distant counties will not send as
many delegates as they are entitled to, so
we may estimate that the State convention
will be composed of about 600 members.

Another Mysterious Disappearance.
Mr. L. Pridgen, a resident of the south
ern part of the city, left home on Monday
morning of last week, with the avowed in
tention of going down the river to attend
to some business, and has never been
heard from since. It was thought that he
had gone with a neighbor who was rafting
timber in the same vicinity until the latter
returned here last Saturday night, when he
was questioned about the matter and stated
that Pridgen was to have gone with him on
that Monday morning, but he never made
his appearance and he (the neighbor) had
to go and leave him. His family are in
great distress about him. Mr. Pridgen was
formerly engaged in the hoisting business,
and is well known about town.

the boat in such a manner as to prevent his
clothing from becoming saturated with
water. There were no boats in the dock
in the vicinity at the time, but the Custom
House boat was finally lowered and has
tened to the rescue, and in the meantime
another boat had started from a small
schooner on the opposite side of the river.
The accident was witnessed by a large
crowd who were waiting for a steamer from
the camp grounds.

THE LUTHERANS.
Important Occasion Sermon by Rev.
Dr. Conrad Installation of the Paw
tor, Rev. F. W. E. Pe hau The
t
Charges to the Pastor and People by
Rev. Rrs. Bikle and Conrad He
spouse of the Pastor, dee
Sunday last was an occasion of much in
terest and importance to St. Paul's Evan
gelical Lutheran Church in this city, it be
ing the time set apart for the regular in
stallation into the pastorship of Rev. F. W.
E. Peschau, late of Nashville, Tennessee,
who recently accepted a call to preside
over its destinies. The interest of the oc
casion was heightened by the fact that two
distinguished divines of the Lutheran per
suasion. Rev. F. W. Conrad, D. D., of
Philadelphia, and Rev. A. L. Bikle, Presi
dent of the North Carolina College at Mt
Pleasant, N. C, were present to partici
pate in the ceremonies.
Rev. Dr. Conrad preached in the
morning a powerful sermon from the
words "Christ Crucified," being part of
a clause of the 23rd verse of the
1st chapter of Paul's list Epistle to
the Corinthians. He dwelt earnestly, elo
quently and forcibly upon the importance
of making "Christ and Him crucified" the
great theme of pulpit effort at all times and
on all occasions, his discourse evidencing
great depth of thought, extended informa
tion and a degree of familiarity with th
Scriptures to which few attain
The ceremonies of installatiojf took place
at night and were witnessed yy a large and
deeply interested audiencjg The pulpit
was beautifully decoratedf and above it in
the rear were the words, in large gilt letters,
"God Bless Our Pastor," while on the west
side of the altar were the words, also in gilt
letters, "Our Cares, Our Joys" (and on the
east side the continuation) "And Our
Aims are One." At the appointed hour
Rev. Dr. Bikle rose and introduced the
services of the hour by requesting the
choir to sing the Gloria Patre, after
which he said the usual Collect for such an
occasion, and at the conclusion of the pre
liminary exercises proceeded to deliver the
charge to the pastor, which was a masterly
effort, abounding in good advice and in
struction, and doubtless made an impres
sion upon the mind and heart of the rev
erend gentleman for whom his words were
intended which will last for all time. He
defined the pastoral relation in such a
manner that all were edified, while his de
livery was of a character to impress every
one favorably.
After singing, etc,, the charge was next
delivered to the congregation by Rev. Dr.
Conrad, who proceeded to instruct the peo
ple as to their duties to the pastor in one of
the most forcible efforts we have ever
listened to, clearly and distinctly defining
the relations between pastor and people and
the people and pastor and enforcing his
convictions with language plain and un
mistakable. Dr. Conrad is quite a rapid
speaker, but his enunciation is clear and
distinct and his discourses give evidence of
a mind richly stored with scriptural
truth.
At the conclusion of the charge the choir
sang a beautiful song of welcome to the
pastor, after which Rev. Dr. Bikle said :
"In the name of the Fadier, and of the
Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. Be
loved brethren, members of this Christian
church : We have been duly authorized
to install as your pastor and teacher. Rev.
F. W. E. Peschau, our esteemed brother
and fellow-laborer in the service of our
Lord Jesus Christ. Although we do not
doubt that the congregation have fully con
curred in bis election, it becomes us never
theless to pay due regard to church order.
Therefore, before we proceed to this in
stallation, we desire to be duly certified by
the congregation, through its council, that
you have chosen this brother to be your
pastor. "
M. H. B. Eilers, of the Church Council,
then arose and read the following:
"Greetings, in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ:
"In the name of the Church Council of
St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran congrega
tion of Wilmington, N. C, is herewith
tendered to you, the representative of the
Evangelical Lutheran Synod of North
Carolina, the following, to assure said
Synod of the call properly given to, and
accepted by, the Rev. F. W. E. Peschau,
of Nashville, Tenn., and t secure its offi
cial recognition and endorsement in the
installation of our pastor here present."
The Rev. Mr. Peschau, accompanied by
bis Church Council, then presented him
self before the altar, and was duly installed
according to the Liturgy of the Evangelical
Lutheran Church, Rev. Dr. Bikle officia
ting in this part of the service, after which
a hymn was sung, when the newly installed
pastor, kneeling with his face to the altar;
said: "Create in me a clean heart, O, God,
and renew a right spirit within me." Then,
after other customary ceremonies and
prayer, he proceeded to address his con
gregation, first in German and then in Eng
ish, pledging h is best efforts to promote
the welfare of the church and the spiritual
and temporal good of his people; express
ing it as his great desire that as now he
had been inducted into office as their pas
tor; he might be inducted also into their
homes, and finally, by God's blessing, into
their hearts. His address was a very touch
ing and appropriate one and moved many
to tears.
Rev. Mr. Peschau enters upon the pastor
ship here under the most favorable aus
pices, having the entire confidence and es
teem of his people, and the good will and
hearty approbation of all our people who
WHOLE NO. 4601
have had the pleasure of meeting him or of
listening to his ministry.
A brief sketch of the church may not be
inappropriate just here. The organization
of St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran church
was effected on the 31st of May, 1898, in
the old Presbyterian church on Front
street, which was subsequently destroyed
by fire. Rev. John H. Mcngert was the
first pastor, and commenced his labors in
December, 1858. the service being held in
the session house in the rear of St James
Episcopal church, which was rented for
the pu pose. The first officers were Messrs,
J. G. Bauman. H. B. Eilers, H.
VonGlahn, E. Schulkcn, C. H. Toilers
and H. Vollers, Trustees; Messrs
N. Bremer and A. Adrian, Elders, and
Messrs. W. Knohl and H. Rehder, Deacons
On the 27th of March, 1858, the first con
stitution was adopted, and at the meeting
of the N. C. Synod in Concord on the
30th of April, 1859. the church was re
ceived in connection with the Synod. The
corner stone of the present edifice was laid
on the 6th of September, 1859, Rev. Mr.
Mengert and Rev. Calvin Shaw officiating.
On the 27tk of December, 1860, the consti
tution of the church was revised and re-
adopted and two hundred copies printed in
the German language. Rev. Mr. Mengert
resigned in May, 1862, and died in Balti
more county, Md., in October, 1876, aged
63 years. Then followed a long interval
during which nothing was done to the
church and only occasionid services were
held. The church building was finally com.
pleted in July 1869, and was dedicated on
Sunday, August 22d, of the same year,
Revs. G. D. and C. H. Bernheim, L. Mul
ler and W. A. Julian officiating, Rev. G.
D. Bernheim preaching the dedicatory ser
mon. Rev. G. D. Bernheim was called to
the pastorate, arrived in this city December
29th, 1869, and commenced his labors on
the following Sunday, January 2nd. He
served the church twelve j'ears, sending in
his resignation May 22nd, 1881, to take
effect January 1st, 1882. At a speciaj
meeting, held December 7th, 1881, a call
was extended to Rev. F. W. E. Peschau,
and his letter accepting the same ij dated
December 18th, 1881. He arrived here
March 3rd, 1882, with his family, and
preached his introductory sermon on the
5th of the same month.
It is interesting to know, in this connec
tioo, that in August, 1840, Capt. Jacob
Wessell, the first German citizen of Wil
mington, arrived here from Charleston. In
1841 Mr. A. E. Mindell and family, with
Mr. Ehrhardt, arrived here from New
York, and on the 7th of October, 1842, Mr.
H. B. Eilers, to whom the Lutheran church
is so much indebted for its success, was
added to the number of German settlers.
He was followed in 1843 by Messrs. J. G.
Baumau and G. Priggie. and a few years
later Messrs. Martin Schulkcn, II. Von
Glahn, J. C. Heyer, N. Gerken, H. Schul
ken, H. Vollers, E. Schulkcn and others
followed. On the 9th of September, 1852,
the German Volunteers was organized, with
J. Wessell as Captain, H. VonGlahn First
Lieutenant, J. G. Bauman Second Lieu
tenant, and H. B. Eilers Third Lieutenant.

The Wilmington Library Association
have chartered the steamer Passport for a
moonlight excursion down the river on
Tuesday evening, May 80th. Moonlight
excursions have always been very popular,
and every effort will be made to make this
one especially pleasant. In order to avoid
uncomfortable crowding only a limited
number of tickets will be sold, and these
must be punched beforehand, as no tickets
will be sold at the boat. There will be
music on board for dancing, and refresh
ments will be offered for sale at reasonable
prices. The boat will leave at 7.80 o'clock
P. M., returning at 11.80. Tickets, 50 cents
for the round trip, to be had at Dyer's.
Sad Incident of the Camp meeting.
We learn that old Aunt Sue Langdon. a
well known colored huckster woman, who
has been selling cakes, peanuts, etc., in
front of the Court House for a long time
past, got a serious fall at the camp meeting
grounds on Sunday, and had to be brought
to the city and sent home in a cart. At
last accounts she was very low, and it was
rumored yesterday evening that she was
dead.
