The London correspondent of the

Dr. D. C. Kelley has backed down

and by a patient and kind, but Arm, ad

Jenny Lind had some striking and
not Very engaging peculiarities. She
had a perfect horror of the Froude
sort of biographers and resolved to
leave no autobiographical notes. But
she is to be "dhown up" all the same

Magazine. The London correspon
dent of the New York 7?m65says:
"Hmy of his anecdotea show tbe harsh

Death of HIr. Edwla J, Xnorpe.
Mr. Edwin J. Thorpe died at his
residence In this city yesterday morn
ing at half-past nine o'clock, after an
illness of a few weeks duration, of
malarial fever. Mr. Thorpe was born
in Walsall, Eng., January 23d, 1857.
He came to this country in 1875, and
spent a year in Philadelphia, in the
employ .of the Pennsylvania R. R
Co.; after which, near the close of-
1876 he, came to Wilmington, at the
request of the Auditor of the Atlantic
Coast' Line, in whose office he - was
employed as elerk and secretary to
the General Superintendent and
President. Thence he went into the
office of the General Freight and
Passenger Agent, where he remained
until last January, when he became
private secretary to the General Man
ager of the Coast Line, which
office he filled up to the time of his
untimely demise.
For several years prior to his death
Mr. Thorpe was the organist and
leader of St. James Episcopal choir
in this city. In 1881, he married
Miss Jennie Brink, daughter of Col.
E. R. Brink, of this city. He leaves
two children, to whom.together with
their bereaved mother we extend our
sincerest sympathy and condolence.
Knowing him as we did, we admired
him for his talents, his sterling integ
rity and the candor that ever marked
his transactions with his fellow men.
As a friend we were drawn to him by
the cheerfulness with which he ever
aided those who sought his help, by
the unselfishness of his generous dis
position and the ayletermination and
manliness that characterized him.
Mr. Thorpe was a member of the
United States Benevolent Fraternity,
in which his life was insured for $5,
000. His funeral will take place at 8
p. m. to-day, from St. James' Church;
the interment in Oakdale Cemetery.

troupe, whieh appears here on Fri

endorsement:
"For fear that a really first class
theatrical troupe might meet with a
poor House at its nrst performance,
and lor rear that lovers or good acting
and legitimate drama might lose a
performance which they would be
sorry for losing, I wish through the
columns of your paper to call the at
tention of the Wilmington public to
the performances of the Prescott-Mc-Lean
troupe advertised for this week.
Friday and Saturday, the 2nd and2rd
of December. In this troupe, not
only have the leading actor and ac
tress shown themselves to be stars of
the first order.but they are excellently
wellsupported by the rest of the com
pany a rare combination tor a
travelling troupe. This troupe played
at Columbia, S. C. about three weeks
ago during the fair week. At their
first performance, because compara
tively unknown in Columbia, they
met with an almost empty house; but
at their second performance over two
hundred people had to be turned
away for lack of seats and standing
room.

Criminal Court.
The trial of Stephen Freeman, ool-
ored, for rape, was resumed yester
day at one o'clock p. m. , The court
room was crowded with spectators
throughout the afternoon . and even-
ing until the' case' was given to the
jury, shortly after eight o'clock. The'
testimony of the witnesses for the de-.
fence was all in by four o'clock, 1 and
Mr. Elliott, counsel for the defence,
addressed the jury. He. was follow
ed by his 'associate Mr.v Strange;
Solicitor Moore making the closing
argument (for the State. Judge
Meares occupied about an hour in
the delivery of his charge to the jury.
It was fair and impartial. He gave a
lengthy review of the evidence, both
for the State and the defence. The
prosecutrix Jhe said, gave the same
testimony in court in relation to the
assaultthat she did to the corrobor
ating witnesses. As to the question
of identity she was positive; she saw
the man in a bright light, and she
would know him again. The defence
was that she is a woman of bad char
acter; that she had a bastard child 7
years ago and that she ought not to
be believed; they also offered evi
dence of a contradictory character as
to the identity of the prisoner. About
the alibi set up by the defence, the
Judge charged that it must be estab
lished to the satisfaction of the jury;
it "did not res$ upon the State to
show that the alibi was not estab
lished, He told the jury to take the
case and consider it carefully, with
out regard to popular "sentiment. It
was their sworn duty to render a ver
dict in accordance with the law and
the evidence. The Jndge then re
minded the jury that it was a rule of
law, "applicable in all cases, that to
convict a prisoner they must be con
vinced of his guilt beyond a reasona
ble doubt. He suggested that the jury
go to supper, and directed the Sheriff
to put them in charge of a sworn offi
cer, and to clear the Court room.
It was brought out on the trial that
Mrs. Sellers' maiden name was Bogan,
and that she was a native of Anson
county, this State. She came to Wil
mington about seven years ago, when
she was about sixteen or seventeen
years of age.
At twelve o'clock last nigbt the
jury had not agreed upon a verdict.
In all probability the result will be a
mistrial the jury unable to agree.
