OUTLINES.
The greater part of the session of the
Senate yesterday was occupied in a
question of personal privilege raised by
Mr. Chandler in reference to the speech
of Mr. Call, of Florida, on Thursday;
the Florida Senator was charged with
altering his speech, as delivered, in the
AVvir,. and in which offensive remarks
were applied to Mr. Chandler; Mr. Call
denied that he had not changed his re
marks in any material manner, and that
he had only exercised a privilege which
was universally accorded; several Sena
tors expressed themselves relative to the
matter, but a resolution of censure, of
fered by Mr. Chandler, went over until
to-day; the Blair Educational bill then
came up, when Mr. Faulkner made a
sj-cech in opposition thereto; there were
lively times in the House over the ques
tion of selecting a site for the World's
Fair; a majority vote was necessary and
eights ballots were taken before a result
was reached. Chicago securing 157
votes on the last ballot three more
than necessary. The Virginia Leg

E. Lee's birthday a legal holiday.

VOL. XLV.-NO. 141.
Senator W. E. Chandler, of New
Hampshire, rests long enough in. his
pressing senatorial labors to write a
card to the public, to inform it that
he will receive subscriptions for the
benefit of the families of the eight
colored men who were lynched De
cember 28th, in Barnwell county, S
C. This shows that he is not alto
gether lacking in benevolent dispo
sition. But in all his senatorial ca
reer, it is a little remarkable that he
has never manifested so much broth
erly interest by taking up contribu
tions for suffering white folks.
Illinois has a compulsory school
law which don't seem to be panning
out much better than some of the
prohibition laws in the breezy wild
west. Last year notwithstanding
the penalty attached, there were
367,000 persons of school age who
didn't go to school. It cost Chicago
$20,000 to look after the enforce
ment of the law in that town, and
thus far the advocates of the law have
failed to discover any benefits from it
The N. Y. Commercial Advertiser
says the theory was advanced long
ago that Henry W. Blair, United
States Senator from New Hampshire,
is actually insane, in a mild and in
offensive form. No, indeed. He is
violently insane. Any man who
would deliberately perpetrate such a
speech as he did on his brother Sen
ators and a long suffering country
must be very insane.
The Charleston World wants to
know how papers which oppose sub

can consistently favor subsidizing
ships to carry off negroes to Africa.
Correct. Thev shouldn't do it. They
are both wrong. Subsidy is a stale
egg and that's all that can be made
out of it, whatever it may be called,
or whatever the pretended purpose.
Senator Blair says Congress ought
to have paper of its own to dissemi
nate truth among the people as an
offset to the bad American nress. He
thinks 500,000 copies of the Congres
sional Record ought to be issued for
free distribution among the people.

ponement until Thursday Night.
Miss Adele Frost and her entire com
pany are in the city, but Miss Frost has
recently been a victim to a very severe
cold, and her voice is not in the best
condition, so her management have
deemed it advisable to let her rest three
days, and instead of opening last night
as advertised, she will begin the engage
ment here on Thursday evening, as
Parthenia, in "Ingomar." In this role
she has won the highest praise. The
distinguished actor Edmund Collier,
will appear as "Ingomar," and the bal
ance of the cast will include Miss Mad
dern, Kate Bartlett. Mabel Leonard,
Selena Taylor, Myron Leyingmell, Ed
win Phillips, John F. Ryan, A. P. Mad
dox, Thos. Leonard, and the balance ot
Mr. Hickey's most excellent company.
It is safe to say an admirable perform
ance of classic drama will be given here,
and it will be a fair test of the apprecia
tion of our people for the higher order
of plays. The indications point to a big
house. There will be an entire change

MILITARY GALA DAY.
THE FAYETTEVILLE INDEPENDENT
COMPANY'S VISIT TO WILMINGTON.
A Hearty Reception From the "W. L. I.
Trio to the Hammocks Target
Practice The Prizes and the
Winners Oyster Boast A
Pleasant Occasion.
The offices and wharves of the Cape
Fear and Yadkin Valley railroad, at the
foot of Mulberry street, were thronged
with people yesterday forenoon awaiting
the arrival of the Fayetteville Indepen
dent Light Infantry and the party of ex
cursionists accompanying them from
that city and stations along the
line of the new extension of the road
Ihe excursion train was expected at
11.30 a. m. but did not reach here until
after twelve a. m.
Lieut. Cronly and Sergt. Walker Tay
lor, of the W. L. I., met the visiting
military at Point Peter, and upon the
arrival of the transfer steamer on this side
of the river, the Fayetteville Company
disembarked and were received with due
honors by the W. L. I., under command
of Capt. W, R. Kenan.
The Fayetteville Company numbered
twenty-six, under command of First
Capt. John Vann. The battalion was
formed with the W. L. I. on the right
and marched up Mulberry to Front
street, from Front to Market and up
Market to the residence of Col. Jno. L
Cantwell on Princess street near the
Seacoast railroad depot, where a lunch
had been prepared by lady friends of the
Wilmington Company. After the re
past, the boys gave three hearty cheers
for the ladies, three for Colonel Cant
well and three more for the Fayetteville
and Wilmington companies, and the
column then took up the line of march
for the depot, where the battalion board
ed cars in waiting for the Hammocks,
where the target practice was to take
place.
The companies left Princess street
depot at half-past one o'clock and ar
rived at the Hammocks in a short while
They were accompanied by a large
crowd of ladies and gentlemen.
Immediately after their arrival the target-firing
commenced, the distance being
two hundred yard.s a.nd 25 being the
best possible score. Two prizes were
offered by each company and a third
prize was offered by the Fayettville
company for the man in their company
who made the best score and who had
never before won a prize.
The Fayetteville boys first stepped to
the front. Mr. A. J. Pemberton making
a score of 21 in five shots, which was re
ceived with loud hurrahs. After five
men of the Fayetteville Company had
emptied their guns, five of the Wilming
ton Light Infantry took the stand in
succession, Capt. W. R. Kenan mak
ing 16, which was the highest score made
by any member of his Company. A
Messrs. E. L, Pemberton and J. W
Tomlinson, of the Fr I. L. I., each made
19, and were obliged to shoot off the
tie, resulting in E. L. Pemberton scoring
21 and J. W. Tomlinson 16.
Messrs. W. N. Harriss,' W. P. Toomer
and W. P. Oldham, Jr., of the W. L. I.,
each made 15, and in shooting off the
tie, Mr. W. P. Toomer made 15 and
was declared the winner; Messrs. Har
riss and Oldham making respectively
9 and 11.
After the match was over Col. W. L.
DeRosset, upon invitation, tried his
hand and scored 14,
During the target firing there was an
oyster roast given by the Wilmington
Light Infantry, which was most ac
ceptable and enjoyable.
The shooting match lasted until near
ly six o'clock, and when it was finished,
the companies boarded the train and
came back to Wilmington,
Col. W. C. Jones, of the Second Regi
ment, took command of the battalion at
Princess Street Depot, and marched the
companies to the C. F. & Y. V. wharf.
There they stacked arms and Mr. J. H.
Myrover, of the Fayetteville Observer,
presented the prizes in a neat and elo
quent speech, which was heartily cheered
not only for his kind words in refer
ence to the people of Wilmington, but
also for the witty manner in which he
made each presentation.
The prizes given by the Fayetteville
Company were; first, a fish-knife and
fork of solid silver, won by Cap
tain W. R. Kenan, of the.W. L. I.;
and a beautiful berry-bowl won by W.
P. Toomer. In addition to these was a
tiltingice-pitcher, which was won by Mr.
Ben Costin this being given to the best
shot in the Fayetteville Company for
members who had never before won a
prize.
The prizes presented by the Wilming
ton Light Infantry were a handsome
clock and a silver-handled umbrella,
awarded respectively to Mr. A. J. Pem
berton and Mr. E. L. Pemberton.
When the presentation was over the
members of the Wilmington Light In
fantry shook hands with each member
of the Independent Company, and bade
them good-bye; three rousing cheers be
ing given for both companies.
The day was most pleasantly spent,
and the occasion will always be
remembered as one of unalloy
ed enjoyment. The Fayetteville Com
pany may be assured, always,
of a genuine and cordial welcome in
Wilmington, and it is hoped that they
will come to see us often, for they have
so entwined themselves, around our
hearts that they can never fail to be re
ceived with a most cordial reception.
The score was as follows : Fayette
