Mr. T. C. Crawford, correspon

been interviewing Mr. Blaine at
great length at Florence, Italy. Of

here is the gist of many columns:
Blaine is determined not to be a
candidate. Under no ciroumtaauces
will he permit his name to be used.
His letter was "nofa haphazard, off-
nand affair," but was the result of
careful thought and long since de
termined on. He says candidate
ooce defeated owes it to his party to
withdraw." Hie wife aud family
necoud him in his emphatic purpose.
He is confident the Republicans will

home in J uoe and his health is good.
I he Boston Globe, upon the authori
ty of a politician not unfriendly to
Blaine and almost as eminent, nays
that Mrs. Blaine is utterly opposed
to her husband's trying it again, and
it is not burpribiug. The Boston

An outrageous assault and robbery,
that for coolness and audacity sur
passes anything of the kind ever
heard of in this city, was perpetrated
yesterday by three negro boys. The
victim was Master Swift Boatwright,
a boy of about twelve years of age,
son of Mr. Hal Boatwright and a pu
pil at Miss Hart's school, on Third
street, not a hundred yards from po
lice headquarters. Between 1 and ?
o'clock In the afternoon Master Boat
wright went into the cellar or base
ment under the school-house, when
the three negroes any one of whom
was more than a match for the little
lad seized him. One of them clapped
his hand over the boy's mouth and
another with a long rope, bound him
fast to one of tbe brick pillars of the
house, while the third took a hand
kerchief from the boy's pocket, went
into an adjoining lot and wet it thor
oughly, and returning, tied it over
the boy's mouth so as to gag him com
pletely. The three negroes then emp
tied his pockets, robbed him, and
treated him with great indignity,
even that of spitting in his face.
The robbers then produced three
sacks, which they filled with coal,
and took their departure. Some
twenty minutes after they had gone,
another of the pupils of the school
came into the basement and found
the lad bound and gagged and re
leased him. 4
Efforts were at once made for the
detection of the guilty parties. The
negro boys had disguised themselves
with paper bags worn over their
faces, but in resisting their assault
young Boatwright tore one of these
away. He recognized the negro and
later in the afternoon pointed the
boy out to the police in the crowd
that had gathered around the City
Hall steps to hear the address of the
Chief of Police to a colored flte com
pany. The negro was arrested, and
after being taken into the City Hall,
admitted his complicity in the crime.
Other arrests were made on suspi
cion by the police and altogether
seven half-grown negroes were cap
tured and locked up. They will
probably be brought before the Mayor
this morning.
For the past two or three months
the coal-house at Miss Hart's school
has been robbed frequently. Dot only
by night but in broad daylight, and
it Is estimated that altogether two or
three cartloads have been stolen by
these negro thieves.

The registration books in the vari

yesterday, (as ascertained by Star

the number of voters registered:
First Ward, 991; Second Wurd, 293;
Third Ward, 411; Fourth Ward, 342;
Fifth Ward, 715. Total, 2,752. With
two days left for registration it is
probable that the total will reach
2,800, by the day of election and it
will thus be necessary for the friends
of subscription to poll over 1,400
votes.

The Planing Mill and Sash and
Blind Factory of Messrs. Fore & Fos
ter Is one of the leading industries of
Wilmington, and is an enterprise that
the proprietors may well be pmud of
It was incorporated Oct 1st, 1886.
The company purchased the old Cape
Fear tobacco works building and
grounds, for the purnpse of dressing
and manufacturing all kinds of wood
work, such as sash, doors, blinds,
mouldings, turned work of all de
scriptions, flooring, ceiling, wains
coting, siding weather boarding, &c,
in connection with their manufact
ured material.
The company, in a short time, met
with such success in their undertaking
that it was found necessary to increase
their plant, and they have now in
operation thirty-seven of the latest
improved wood working machines.
and are still increasing their facilities
as their thriving business demands.
They constantly keep in stock, on
their large and conveniently arranged
yard, dimension stuff, laths, shingles,
&o.,and can furnish all material nec
essary in their line for erecting
houses complete at short notice.
The works manipulated from five
to fifteen car-loads of pine lumber
each week, obtained from different
points in the two Carolinas. The
company has a railway train running
from their yard which connects wiih
all the railroads entering the city,
and have besides gOod facilities for
receiving and shipping by water.
The Carolina pine is found to be
especially adapted for factory work,
but besides this the factory consumes
large quantities of white pine, which
comes from Michigan, and ash, cy
press, walnut, poplar, cherry, red
wood from California, and last but
by no means least, our own "curly
pine," from which they manu
facture church and office furni
ture, and in which they are
said to excel every other wood
working establishment in the State.
Increasing business bas compelled
the company to enlarge their al
ready extensive works, and their
lumber yards have been extended
to Campbell street, and a build
ing thirty feet wide by one hun
dred long bas been erected, which
enables them to carry a large stock
of dry lumber. They also propose to
build a two-6tory warehouse cover
ing the entire width of their lot on
Campbell street. These improve
ments will enable the company to
supply all demands that may be made
upon them requiring dry and sea
soned lumber.

Extract from one of Rev. Mr. Pear

It is all bosh to talk about a dis
honest man entering the kingdom of
God. Whitewashed sinners, some
times called pillars of the Church,
who would not pay their debts or re
store to their fellow men that which
they bsJd wronged them of, were not
prepared to meet their God and never
would be until they had made resti
tution. Nobody knows just what lo do with
