WILMINGTON,
Tbi Haaevw Kaltuic BUia
A reporter for the Stajr paid a visit
yesterday to the new factory recently
erected near the foot of Queen street
and known as the "Hanover Knitting
Mills." The enterprise is altogether
new for this section, but is one that
it has Been persistently urged, from
time to time in the columns of this
paper would prove profitable, and be
yond question,under the managemtnt
of the capable and energetic young
men who have inaugurated it will be
a successful venture. We trust, it
may lead to other industrial enter
prises by other of our young and
energetic citizens. So far as we
.know, there are but two. other knit
ting mills in the South one at Salem
in this State and the other at Colum- j
bia, S. C, and both of these, we un- I
derstatvd, are profitable investments. I
The proprietors of the mills are
Messrs. Edward S. Tennent, J. Allen
Taylor, and Walker Taylor, operating
under the firm name of Tennent &
Taylor. The mill, as stated above, is
situated near the foot of Queen
street. It is a neat frame struoture,
one story in height, -with abundant
light and ventilation and comforta
bly warmed by steam. The machin
ery is of the latest and most approved
pattern. It is run by power obtained
from the steam mill of Messrs. S. &
W. H. Northrop, near by, and re
quires to attend it some fifteen em
ployes. Most of these are women, and
all have been residents of the city.for
a long time. They have had no expe
rience in the work and no instruc
tion beyond that given by a skilled
workman who came out from the
North to set up the plantXand put it
in operation, and "yet, .to the casual
observer they are adepts in all that
pertains to the work.
There are six machines for making
plain webbing, four "Balmoral" ma
chines, and two machines for knit
ting ribbed hose; one winder of thir
ty spindles, six Wilcox & Gibbs sew
ing machines, with trimmer, attach
ments, and a steam press for shaping
the hose.
j.ne manufacturers will make a
specialty of hosiery, but contemplate
putting in machinery adapted to the
production of other knit underwear.
At present, the works are running on
a medium grade of goods adapted to
the general dry goods trade and
known as "split hose." They have a
daily capacity of about one hundred
dozen half-hose or seventy dozen full
hose per day. The company as yet
have no dye works, but in time will
make arrangements for the produc
tion of solid colored, striped and
plain unbleached hose. The yarn
worked up at the mill is procured
from the North, being of harder
twist than the yarn made here, and
is manufactured especially for knit
ting.
Audit and Finance.
The Board of Audit and Finance met
in regular session last night at the
City Hall. Present: R. J. Jones, Esq.,
chairman, and Messrs. Wm. Calder,
W. I. Gore, Jas. W. Hewtet.
A communication was received from
the Board of Aldermen and acted
upon favorably awarding a contract
for a small building at foot of Red
Cross street on the dock for $30. Also,
on the petition of John Halloway and
others, committee of Giblem Lodge, for
use of City Hall free of charge on De
cember 15th. In this connection the
bill of that lodge for refunded rent
for five dollars was disapproved.
A communication frem the Mayor
in reference to painting the dials of
the city clock, recommending that an
appropriation of $32 be made and
contract given to E. V. Richards, he
being the lowest bidder, was not ap
proved.
Three bonds ($1,500) and three
coupons (fWJJ) wnicn naa Deen re
deemed and cancelled, were burned
in the presence of the Board.
Bill of E. D. Hall, Chief of Police,
for uniform, ($37.50) was approved.
Mr. Calder desired to be recorded as
voting against it, on the ground that
no appropriation had been made for
the purpose, and that the former
Chief of Police had himself paid for
his uniform
Bills were audited and approved
as follows: J?or currens expenses.
$199.35; refunded taxes, $24.50; collec
tion of delinquent taxes, $643.91;
bonds, $1,500, coupons, $92.
Hta, Alfred Rowland.
It will be gratifying news to the
many friends of CoL Rowland to learn
that he has greatly improved in
health. The Charlotte O&serccr says
that "in fact the skillful physicians
who have been treating his case say
the disease he has been affected with
has been cured and he is now only
suffering the weakening effects of his
prolonged sickness. The excitement
incidents Washington life and ab
sence from the creature comforts of
home, were unfavorable to his rapid
recuperation, hence he returns to his
home, expecting to be restored to his
usual strength after the Christmas
Widava. Hia fidelity to duty would

not have allowed hinv to return, hut

N. C., TUESDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1887.
A Slncalar 9mleld .
Lucy 'Smith, a colored, woman
aged about forty-one years, was found
dead -with a pistol-shot wound
through her head last Sunday night
about ten o'clock, in a closet in a
house on Eighth street between
Orange and Ann, which she occupied
jointly with her two sisters Martha
Toomer and Sylvia Henderson and
a colored man named Hilliard
Christian. The woman was alone at
the time -the' fearful deed was com
mitted, all the others having gone
to church. When they returned they
went to Lucy's room, and after a
short search found her in the closet,
seated on a trunk and quite dead.
The pistol with which the suicide
was committed dropped from the
dead woman's hand as the door was
opened.
Coroner Miller was notified of the
tragedy and yesterday morning held
an inquest at the house.
Dr. Potter, superintendent of health,
examined the body of the woman.
The ball ranged from back of the
right ear through the brain to the
opposite side of the head, lodging
near the left ear. ' -
The only witnesses who could
throw any light' upon the tragedy
were Sylvia Henderson and Martha
Toomer, the two sisters.
Sylvia Henderson testified that she
left Lucy about four o'clock Sunday
afternoon, came back to the house at
six o'clook and knocked at Lucy's
door, but there was no answer.
About seven she (Sylvia) went to St.
Luke's Church and returned about
ten. Went again to Lucy's room, but
did not find her, and after searching
for her among the neighbors, re
turned to Lucy's room and opened
the door with a key that fitted the
lock. Continuing, witness said: "My
sister came in and said 'don't lock
the lower door, she may be out.' Mrs.
Toomer found her: she was dead in
the closet, with a pistol clutched in
her hand."
Martha Toomer testified: "I left
the house in the evening and went to
church, and returned between nine
and ten o'clock. Looked in the room
for Lucy but "could not find her; she
had locked herself in the room and
went into the closet and shut herself
up. I went to the closet and found
her dead, and the pistol dropped out
of her hand.
Hilliard Christian, a colored man
living in the house, testified that all
he knew about it was that he came
home at half-past 11 o'clock Sunday
night, and found Lucy Smith dead in
the closet, with a pistol near her and
a pool of blood.
The jury rendered the following
verdict : "Upon hearing the forego
ing testimony the jury of inquest
find that Lucy Smith came to her
death on the 18th day of December,
1883, in New Hanover county, from a
pistol ball through her brain, fired by
her own hand." The jurymen were
J. M. McGowan, Isham Sweet, James
D Dry, S. A. Craig, David Jacobs,
G. W. Murray.
The dead woman is represented to
have been in poor health, and des
pondent since the departure of her
husband, who left here a few weeks
ago on a vessel bound to Baltimore.

Last evening a large and fashion
able audience assembled at the Opera
House to hear Patti Rosa In Fred
Marsden's comedy of ' Bob. Every
thing went as merrily as a marriage
bell, and the three hours -spent in
hearing this charming little actress-
were enjoyed to the fullest extent
by all present.
Miss Patti Rosa attracted chief at
tention and next to her was Mr. Bert
Coote, in the inimitable part of Prof.
Doremo Sharp.' Whenever these two
appeared together the most rapturous
applause burst forth from the au
dience, and their recalls were many
and frequent.
The company has many excellent
points to recommend it to the public
generally and there is not an actor or
actress in it who does not reflect credit
on themselves and give pleasure to
their hearers.
The performance was one of con
tinuous enjoyment and will be long
associated with the most pleasant
memories, and all who enjoy a good
augh and lots of fun will be amply
repaid by going to hear Bob.
