Ex-Governor English, of Connec
ticut, died on Sunday, aged seventy
eight years; in 1867 he was elected Gov
ernor over Hon. Joseph R. Hawley. and
at that time was the only Democratic
Governor in the United States; he was re
elected for two other terms; he served two
terms in the lower House of Congress,
and filled the vacancy in the Senate caus
ed by the death of O. S. Ferrv; he had an
enviable national reputation in political
and financial circles. Vice Presi
dent Morton arrived in Charleston on
Sunday on his route to Florida, and was
most cordially received by the citizens
and authorities; many attentions were
shown him. and he expressed himself as
greatly gratified at the warmth of his
welcome in spite of the weather.

Some smart lawyer has discovered
since the lands in southwest Vir-
i ginia have begun to get on a boom
in consequence of the rich mineral
deposits, that the heirs of a gentle
man named Walcott have a claim on
a million acres under an old grant
made about two hundred years ago.
Some of these days some sprightly
limb of the law will go nosing
around and find some of the heirs of
Christopher Columbus and put in a
claim for the continent.
That Indianapolis bookkeeper who
made some suspicious looking
changes of figures in his books, then
got a leave of absence and remained
away until his employers published
him as an embezzler, then came
back, proved the books to be all
right and received $5,000 damages,
is smart enough to go into the ser
vice of Boss Quay without any fur
ther training.
It is said that Senator Colquitt, of
Georgia, has a speech in soak which
he is going to deliver the first chance
he gets, in which he will go for
Inealls' war record. He can't do it.
Ingalls never had any war record.
He parted his hair in the middle and
sniffed the battle from afar so far
that he wouldn't be able to recognize
a battle if he saw one in a chromo.
Some of the leading Democratic
papers of Virginia urge the Legisla
ture to repeal the law passed requir
ing the inspection of beef slaughtered
outside of the State, as a hasty, ill-
vised and unconstitutional measure,
and oppressive on the people, especi
ally upon the poor who have to buy
meat and pay the additional cent a
pound for inspection.
Perhaps after ajl the Senatorial in
vestigating committee which is try
ing to find out how the newspaper
men get hold of the secrets of the
executive session will discover that
newspaper men can keep a secret,
when it comes in the way of confi
dence, better than some Senators can.
Corporal Tanner has retired from
the public arena, for the present, but
he is not forgotten. He left a legacy
to the American people. Out of the
$23,000,000 required by the Urgency
Deficiency bill reported by the Com
mittee on Appropriations $21,000,-
000 is to pay pensions.
The Augusta Chronicle remarks
that the time is not far distant when
Georgia and South Carolina will be
j gridironed with railroads just as the
New England and Western States
now are. Di;to !Tprth Carolina, only

DOMESTIC INFELICITY.
Richard Thomas Armed Opposition to
an Exodus Movement on the Part of
his Wife.
Richard Thomas, colored, was arrest
ed last Sunday, charged with attempt
ing to kill his wife, Rebecca, and is now
languishing In a cell at the City Hall.
Richard is also accused of other out
lageous conduct. He was arrested
Thursday on a peace warrant issued on
complaint of his wife, but as there was
no evidence to sustain the charge that
he had threatened to do her bodily
harm, he was released. His wife,
Rebecca, however, it seems had' made
up her mind to leave her lov
ing spouse, and on Friday afternoon
boarded a train with a party of Peg-Leg
Williams' exodusters bound to Louis
iana. Thomas, however, got wind of
the movement and managed to over
haul the train at "the Bluff" a few
miles from the city and after a most
"tempestuous time," bundled his wife off
the cars, gave her a beating and made
her hustle for home in short order. It
is said that he fired two or three shots
at her from a bull-dog pistol but wheth
er to stop or accelerate her movements,
is not clearly known,
Thomas was arrested at his house on
Nixon street, where the police officers
found him hidden under a bed with the
nickel-plated pistol-pop concealed on
his person.
He will probably be arraigned in the
Mayor's Court this morning; the inves
tigation having been postponed yester
day to secure the testimony of Capt.
Harker, the conductor of the train on
which Rebecca was exodusting from
her "lord and master."
It is surmised that the pistol shot fired
last Saturday night at a street car in
Brooklyn was but another manifestation
of Richard's displeasure, and that he fired
at a woman on the car who he supposed
was his wife. But all the facts in the
case and probably a great deal more
will be told at the trial this morning.
EGGS AND EARLY VEGETABLES.
New York Quotations for the. Truok
Fanners Products.
G, S, Palmer, Produce Commission
Merchant, 166 Reade street, New York
furnishes the STAR with the following
report of the market:
With the close of the week comes the
advent of Soring, and with it an in
creased demand for new vegetables of
ail kinds. Late arrivals of asparagus
have not been sufficient to meet the de
mand of the trade, and prime have sold
from $1 to 1.25 per bunch, and culls 40
to 60 cents. A few peas have already
arrivea Irom Georgia and bouth Caro
Una, and are selling at $4 to 4.50 per
crate. Market on cabbage has further
advanced, and choice are $3 to $5 per
bbl., and in good demand. Arrivals of
strawberries have been liberal, but very
irregular as to quality and condition, the
tew fancy selling at 30 to 35 cents; other
grades 15 to 25 cents. The demand will
gradually increase as the season ad
vances, and the outlook is for firm
prices to hold.
Receipts of eggs continue very heavy,
aggregating for the week 8,875 bbls. The
advices of heavy storms in the West
caused the market to close firm at 15
cents, and the outlook is favorable dur
ing Lent.
MARCH WEATHER.
Forecasts of the TJ. S. Hydrographic Office.
The weather this month for the North
Atlantic will be considerably less severe
than during February, the average
southern limit of the region of frequent
gales being a line from about Hatteras
to the English Channel. To the north
ward gales may occur as often as once in
six days, accompanied, frequently by
electric phenomena, Along the coast
of the United States, from Hat
teras southward, the winds will be
variable. Northers will be less frequent
in the Gulf of Mexico; they will, how
ever, be fiercer tor the hrst day, and
have less northwesting. The northeast
trades will be somewhat weaker than
last month. Icebergs and field-ice may
be encountered almost as far south as
the 40th parallel, between 41 and 55
W. longitude, as indicated by the pro
bable ice limit on the Chart. Fog will
be encountered with increasing fre
quency off the Grand Banks and the
coast to the westward.
RIVER AND MARINE.
A powerful steam tug, the J. E. Chap
man wnicn arrived at soutnport sev
eral days ago to tow the schooner Bon-
sall to New York, came up to the city
yesterday morning, and after replenish-
ishing her coal bunkers at Messrs. Fow-
er and Morrison's went down the

day to tow he schoAner Bonsall from
SouhPAT up the river to smooth water,
so that some necessary repairs could be
made to the hull of the vessel, but the
schooner got aground a few miles up
the river from that place.
- The schooner J. Waples Ponder
which sailed hence a few days ago, was
blown ashore on Battery Island, oppo
site Southport, last Sunday afternoon
while preparing to go to sea. The
Ponder got out without dculty yes

OPERA HOUSE.
Little Lord Fauntleroy.
The audience that greeted the first ap
pearance last night of that superior play,
"Little Lord Fauntleroy," found much
that was worthy of praise and many
clever bits of acting that elicited their
applause. The attention which it en
chained at the beginning became in
tensified as the play progressed,
and all left the house feeling
that a moral lesson of weight and
force had, through the artless and nat
ural promptings of a childish heart, been
most charmingly taught.
The play is one too widely known to
need description, and the actors last
night seemed peculiarly fitted to their
respective parts.
The old Earl of Dorincourt, Mr.
Haswin, could not well be improved;
petulant, proud, gouty, the thorough
gentleman, yet the crabbed, cross
grained old man, self-willed yet
kind, needing the genial infleunce
of innocent childhood to wake the
sleeping chords of sympathy that dis
appointment and disease had too long
allowed to lie dormant yet when once
touched sounded the notes with an old
time freshness and brought back the
youthfulness of a heart which was not
dovoid of charity though chilled by age.
Miss Flossie Ethel, as Little Lard
Fauntleroy, was simply charming in her
interpretation. The precariousness of
childhood was never better exhibited;
and the mental grasp and execution of a
role as difficult would have reflected
eredit on those whom experience had
taught a mastery of their art.
MJss Rosamore, as a.was typical
of a class that smile through fortune's
frowns, and while acting a part which
called for neither sympathy or pity, her
ready good humor and indifference to
adverse circumstances, won for her the
favor of some, and her sharp retorts
called forth the applause of the audi
ence. The company is good, the play is
pure, moral and elevated, nnd the final
outcome is so satisfactory that it was a
pleasure to attend.
MERCHANTS' EXCURSION.
Arrangements for the entertainment of
Visitors on the Line of the C. F. A Y
V. Railroad.
There was an important meeting of
the Invitation Committee in regard to
the merchants' excursion on the C. F. &
Y. V. R. R. last night, at the house of
Col. F. W. Kerchner, the chairman.
The Committee was met by Major
John McLaughlin, who represented the
C. F. & Y. R. R., and a thorough can
vass of all the names of merchants
between Wilmington and Mount Airy
and between Fayetteville and Bennetts-
ville was made. It was found that near
ly five hundred business men were on
the lists. The committee had a very
important meeting, and Mr. C. H.
Robinson, Chairman of the. Committee
of Entertainment, was also present,
and after much deliberation it
was decided to ask the secretary
of the general committee, Mr. Geo. R.
French, to send out postal cards inviting
the whole committee to meet at the
Produce Exchange at 1Z o'clock noon
on Wednesday and to have a general
discussion in regard to the celebration.
It was also decided to recommend that
the celebration be held on the 19th, 20th
and 21st, of this month.
Citizens are much interested in this
celebration, and it i useless to say that
every preparation will be made to make
the time pass pleasantly for all.
Wilmington intends to do her best on
this occasion, and her whole souled citi
zens will undoubtedly give all in their
power to further an object which will
long be remembered with pride by our
people, and it is to be hoped with pleas
r by our friends along the line of the
Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley Railroad.
