The marine toboggan slide is a new
institution that is becoming popu
lar at Northern seaside resorts as a
threat source of amusement. One at
Bridgeport, Conn., is thus described :
Tbe artificial slop rises from high
water mark to the height of thirty
two feet above it, where there is a
platform reached by a flight of steps.
The ehute Itself is but twenty inches
wide and contains wheels for the sleds
to run oo. Anv toboggan will answer
the purpose. The slide Is open to all
at eertaln stages of the tide, bnt at
high water none are admitted but
ood swimmers. The chnte is 178
feet long., The toboggan starts at the
signal gtven by a bell, only one being
allowed to go at a time; and on being
projected from the lower end, they
ricochet acrosa the waters for a dis
tance varying fiom 73 td 173 feet,
skipping along like a flat pebble till
the force acquired In the descent Is
lunt, after which the bather swims
ashore, polling his fled after him.
Two cents is the price of a slide

and thence back to Market street

Three boats of the Club have been

There wero fine rains on the line
of the Carolina Central, all the way

the crops were very much In need of
rain, and the farmers aro greatly re-

vorable for good crops in all the
counties through which the Carolina
Central runs.
A TfeUt Caaiak
Walter Williams, a young colored
fellow who has been dodging the po
lice for a long time, was caught yes
terday by Officer Turlington in the
neighborhood of the W., C. & A. de
pot, after a hot chase. Williams is
wanted to answer for the theft of
horse blankets and other articles
from Capt. T. J. Soatherland and
others. When captured Williams
was taken to the City Ball where he
admitted the thefts with which he
was charged, and also acknowledged
that he was an accomplice in the rob
bery of Mr. J. B. Daniels' clothing
store on Front street some months
ago, for which robbery one or more
of the gang was sent to the State
Penitentiary shortly afterwards.
Williams' Identification came about
in a rather curious way. Be made ap
plication to the Mayor several months
ago for permission to black boots on
Sundays on the streets, and Mayor
Fowler gave him a permit in writing
to this effect. Shortly afterwards po
lice officer Turlington found a lot of
plunder, in which were several horse
blankets, concealed In the cellar of
one of the burned houses on North.
Front street near the depot. In
the lot was a coat in one of tbe
pockets of which was fonnd the per
mit giyen to Williams. A watch was
kept on the place bnt Williams got an
inkling that the officers '.were after
him and left the city, and did not re
turn until a few days ago.
The case will be investigated before
the Mayor to-day. '
Tfcal ClakklDB Case
The policeman who arrested Mr.
Herman TIetgen ;last Saturday,
(officer Grant), says that the cut oa
Mr. TIetgen'a head was not caused by
the blow from his (the policeman'
club), but resulted from the maa'i
head striking -the doorway of the
Seaside restaurant, on Front street,
when he fell. A reporter for tbe
STAR, was informed at the City Hall
yesterday afternoon that Mr. TSetgen
would submit to the charge of dlsor-
Knights of tlae Golden Eacle.
A circular from Mr. J. D. Barnes,
Supreme Chief of the Knights of the
Golden Eagle, Philadelphia, Pa.,
says that a Castle of this Order is be
ing organized in Wilmington, he
being in correspondence with Messrs
S. J. Ellis and Geo. Zeigler with this
object in view.
The Order is represented to be in
successful operation in twenty-three
StAtes. It was founded in Baltimore,
February Ctb, 1873. Its features are
beneficial, benevolent, social and
semi-military.
The ritualistic work consists of
three degrees, viz.: First, or Pil
grims'; Second, or Knights'; and
Third, or Crusaders' Degree. The
three degrees are symbolic of a sol
dier battling for his Faith. He is
first a Pilgrim, then a Knight, and
finally a Crusader. He has for his
aim that of a Christian warrior,
struecliner to gain the immortal
crown.
It is optional with the members as
to whether they participate in the
military feature.
The'regalia of the Order consists of
a badge worn upon the left breast.
The age of members is 20 years and
upwards. Each Castle is permitted
to determine the maximum age of ap
plicants for membership
The fee, including the three de
grees, is $3.00. Castles may charge
more than this. This is the entire ex
pense, as no Sir Knight Is obliged to
purchase any portion of the uniform.
The Proposed Xournamrnt.
A meeting of the Fireman's Tour
nament Committee was held last
night at the hall of the Hook and
Ladder Company, to hear reports
from various sub-committees. Chief
Oldenbuttel was in the chair and
Mr. J. D. Kelly secretary. The com
mittee on railroad rates and hotel
accommodations reported that satis
factory arrangements could be
made.
The committee appointed to solicit
subscriptions to pay the necessary
expenses of the tournament, (includ
ing $300 to be invested in prizes) re
ported that they had succeeded in
securing subscriptions to the amount
of $420.
It was decided by the full commit
tee that, in view of the fact that one
thousand dollars will be required to
pay the expenses of the tournament,
the committee on subscription be di
rected to make another effort to raise
the full amount and report at a meet
ing to be held Thursday night.
It was the sense of the meeting
that unless the necessary amount
can be secured by the time mention
ed, that the tournament should be
postponed indefinitely.
Cardinal Gibbons.
The Asheville Sun of the27th Inst,
gives the following account of a ser
mon preached in that city by Cardi
nal Gibbons :
This distinguished prelate preach
ed in the crimson vestments of his
holy office to a select audience at Bat
tery Park last night. The large ball
room was well filled with prominent
citizens and guests of the hotel;
several of our city pastors were also
present. The Cardinal's theme was
the Fatherhood of God and the
Brotherhood of Jesus Christ. The
audience was treated to an orthodox
sermon of nearly an hour's length,
such as all true men and women love
to hear. The preacher plead for the
sanctity of the Christian Sabbath as.
one of man's best heritages from a
good Father; admonished nis hearers
that the nearest approach to divinity
was by those who help their brother
tip and are filled with charity. He
closed his talk with the words of
8cripture, "Pure religion and unde
fined before God is this: To visit the
widow and the fatherless and to keep
himself unspotted from the world."
The Passport to L.ave Us.
The steamer Passport has ben
chartered for one hundred days to
inn as a passenger boat in New York
harbor between that city and Fort
Hamilton. Mr. J. F. Wittemann, of
Wittemann Bros., of New York, was
in this city yesterday and completed
the necessary arrangements with the
-owners of the boat, Messrs. J. T. & J.
W. Harper, and the Passport will
leave for New York as soon as the
"weather is favorable, under command
of Capt. Snell and a crew from this
place.
The Passport is a great favorite in
these waters, especially with excur
sion-going people, who will regret to
ee her and her popular commander
take their departure.

HOME AGAIN ,
Return or tbe Edgecombe Guards.
Star Correspondence.!
TARBORO, July 28, 1888.
After ten days encampment at Camp
Pender, the Edgecombe Guards re
turn to our city well pleased with
their trip, and giving the highest
praise to Wilmington and Wrights
ville. At a call of the president, Mr. J. R.
Gaskill, the Young Men's Democratic
Club of Edgecombe assembled at the
office of Mr. H. K. Nash, Jr., number
ing about fifty, with the regulation
uniform on, and headed by a brass
band marched up Main street to the
depot, to meet the Guards. After
three rousing cheers were given by
the Y. M. D. C. the line was formed,
and the Club and the Guards march
ed to theJ"Commons," where a recep
tion was in waiting.
The gifted speaker, Mr. Dossey
Battle, in a few well chosen words
welcomed the Guards back. Then
the command was given to "break
ranks," and the boys broke ranks and
hand-shaking was in order.
While the procession was marching
down to the Commons, the "Little
Democrat" (cannon) was belching
forth its peals of welcome.
