HIGHWAY ROBBERS.
Another Countryman Attacked and Se
verely Injured a Few Miles from the
City.
Information was brought to Mayor
Mayor Fowler late yesterday afternoon
of another assault by a highwayman on
a countryman, about four miles from the
city on the Castle Haync road and near
the place where Mr. V. O. Johnston, of
Harrison's Creek. Pender county, was
attacked and robbed of his money last
wcck. in oroan aayiiint. oy tnrcc un-
known colored men.
The victim in this last instance was
Alex. Miore. a colored farmer, who was
on his way home from market in Wil
mington. NTo particulars were given ex
cept that Moore was attacked about noon
on the road, was struck on the back of
the head and severely hurt, and that the
loud outcry he made for his son. Mack
M.xjre. frightened the robber, who ran
oil.
This is the third or fourth occurrence
of the kind reported within the past few
weeks. Tiie matter is beyond the power
of the Mayor of the city; but it calls for
the attention of the SheruT of the coun
ty, whose power and duty it is to order
out the fsissc conu'liUus. if necessary, to
pursue and capture these bold, bad high
waymen, before some good citizen per
chance loses his life.
A 25 POUND SHEEPHEAD.
Fishing at the Uamniccka.
The Charlotte Chronicle gives - the
following account of one of the fishing
exploits f two gentlemen of Charlotte
sojourning at the Hammocks: "Mr. V.
R. Burwell and Dr. M. A. Bland were
fishing off the bridge across the inlet at
the Hammocks yesterday for skipjacks.
Mr. Burwell had his ordinary 8-foot
pole and silk line with a tempered steel
hook. He had been hauling up skipjacks
at the rate of about 20 a minute when
ali at once he had a bite that almost
jerked his arm out of socket. He
wrapped his legs around a post and
with both hands tried to keep the fish
from getting away with his pole. The
reel spun around so fast that it smoked.
Dr. Bland went to his assistance, and
after a fight that lasted for ten minutes
they landed a 2."-pound sheephead, the
biggest fish of the kind that has ever
been caught there with hook and line,"

THE RECENT HOMICIDE-
Coroner's Inquest Adjourned Until To-Day
The Murderer in Jail A Few Facts
.Concerning His Life.
Coroner Jacobs yesterday summoned
a jury to hold an inquest, in accordance
with the law, on the body of Ed Hill, the
colored fireman on the Seacoast rail
road who was shot and killed at the
Hammocks last Tuesday by David J.
Garner. The jury with the coroner
went out and identified the body as that
of Edward Hill, and took the testimony
of Dr. Lane at the Citv Hospital,
when the inquest was adjourned to se
cure the attendance of witnesses of the
shooting from the Hammocks. It will
be resumed this morning at 10 o'cltock
at the county Court House. 1
Several applications were made at tie
jail yesterday by reports and others for
permission to see Garner, but no one
. r , i 1
with the exception oi nis counsel was al
lowed to do so. When informed by Mr.
Elder, the jailor, Tuesday night, that
Hill was dead. Garner sighed deeply and
said, "Oh, Lord! I can't help it. You
can do what you please with me." As
is the custom with all prisoners who en
ter the jail, his age, height, weight and
description were recorded. He gave his
name as David J. Garner, aged 38 years;
his height is 5 feet, 64 inches; weight 12G
pounds; has gray eyes, and fair com
plexion. His father and mother, be
says, are both dead, and he has neither
brother nor sister living.
Capt. Alex. C. Moore, of this city,
told a reporter yesterday that he was
well acquainted with Garner, and had
known him from boyhood, but
had seen little of him lor
the past few years until Garner
came to Wilmington several months
ago. Garner is a house carpenter by
trade, he was born in Carteret county,
and was raised in the family of the late
Richard Canaday in Onslow, and is
related to the family. He was always
considered a quiet, industrious man,
peaceably disposed, but was regarded as
flighty" in mind at times. Capt. Moore
said Garner left Onslow last Fall and
started in a small boat with two com
panions for Florida, to kill birds for their
umage; but upon arriving at Wil
mington his companions left him, and
Garner concluded to remain here, and
subsequently was employed by Messrs.
W. E. Davis & Son, and continued in
their employ as a fisherman during the
shad season and afterwards went with
his sharpie to Wrightsville to engage in
fishing at that place.

Hawes furnished some fine instrumental
music.

WELCOMING ADDRESS BY IREDELL
MEARES.
Gentlemen of the North Carolina State
Dc7ital Association :
I am charged by your professional
brethren, of this city, with the very
agreeable duty of extending to you their
greeting and welcome upon this occa
sion of your sixteenth annual assembly,
This I do, not only in their behalf, but
upon the part of our citizens generally,
who are always glad to receive and glad
to welcome within our midst a body of
learned and representative gentlemen.
Exactly why I should have been honored
by this selection, I did not at first un
derstand, nor do I now, unless it is that
having been so frequently under the
treatment oi our resident dentists tney
have come to regard me as practically a
part ot the prolession, and as teeth are
said to be aids to speech and their skill
has so often attempted to improve my
natural complement, I will not say
without success, perhaps it is sup
posed that their dexterity in prac
tice may somehow be demonstrated
by an exhibition of my improved
powers ot speech. What, then, is want
ing in the appropriateness of my re
marks may be charged entirely to the
inefficiency of Drs. Durham, Matthews
and Baldwin. I confess that I rather
enjoy the novelty of the situation. Be
longing to a profession, which the cynic
is severe enough to call a talking one,
and accrediting myself with being per
sonally fond of tnc pastime, I have here
tofore felt at a disadvantage in that line
in my association with dentists. 1 he
charming complacency with which the
average operator, who having mouthed
and gagged you with paper or ' rubber
dam," or vice 7'crsa, converses of inter
esting topics entirely out of tune with
the tension of your nerves, has always
commanded my admiration, despite its
tantalizing effects, and stirred my re
venge, because it was necessarily a one
sided affair. To be able then at one
chance to talk to so large a number of
dentists, while they remain silent, if not
by the force of paper and "rubber-dam"
at least by the custom of courtesy,
is some compensation to me for
the many weary hours I have
passed m the dental chair, with my
nisors painfully wedged apart, my
bicuspids packed with rubber, or my
posterior molars hammered to the quick
step of Dixie. On one occasion, while
preparations were making to extract one
of my canines, the fertile genius of the
operator suggested that m order to di
vert my pain 1 think ot my sweetheart.
In the inexperienceof my youth I acted
on the suggestion, and the hideous, dis
jointed and monstrous proportions that
sweet girl assumed in my imagination
dissipated for me her charm and beauty
and deferred to several years later my
matrimonial alliance. On another oc
casion, as the operation was proceeding
with infinite satisfaction to one party at
least my clever doctor, with the most
PTnnrrntinf unconsciousness ot his sui-
fering patient; joyously exclaimed that
, - r ..." . i- 1: a
he would rather have been engaged in
filling such a beautiful cavity than din
ing at Delmonico's. It is needless for
me to say that at that particular mo
ment I would have refused dining at
Delmonico's, even at my own expense.
That profound observation of my clever
dentist has lead me to the firm convic
tion that dentistry, however else it may
be defined, is differentiated from all pur
suits, occupations and professions in its
absolute divorcemunt of all sympathy
between patient and operator.
But the more genuine pleasure I take
upon this occasion, is in being the me
dium to express ihe pride with which
we regard your association, for we are
educated by the ability, high character
and personal worth of our resident den
tists to venerate your profession, and
also to express the gratification we ex
perience by the fact of your honoring
our city by your presence here. He who
is informed,' well knows that within the
period of the past fifty years, dentistry
has developed from a mechanical art in
to one of the more important and learn
ed branches of medicine, having its col
leges throughout the land, with their ed
ucated professors and high curricula,
and that the dentist of to-day is no
longer the mere mechanical expert, but
the educated gentleman, with an en
lightened knowledge of medical science,
especially in its bearings upon the func
tions and diseases of the teeth, coupled
with mechanical skill and familiarity
with metallurgy.
In the rapid development and pro
gress which has elevated the dental pro
fession to its present position of digni
ty, importance and beneficence, it is grat
ifying to reflect that the American den
tists have been foremost in advancing
the great work. As zealous workers
then in that limitless field of American
labor, learning, science, art and industry,
upon which vou are organized to ad-
vance the usefulness and enlarge the
possibilities of your high calling, we
greet you, gentlemen, with congratula
tions upon the past achievements of
your profession, and encouragement
for its continuous growth. As Caro
linians, hailing from all sections of our
hploved State even from the foliaged
,r,to,-n tnnc r,f th Rine Ridfre to the
barren sand dunes of Currituck, we wel- excludes incompetent persons from en
come you to the hospitable shores of tering upon the practice. and imposing
the Cape Fear, and we throw open our
homes," our hearts, and, excepting the
ladies our arms to receive you with
brotherly affection.
When you shall have finished your
deliberations, which I hope will be at
tended with interest, pleasure and profit
to all of you, and have turned your
minds to thoughts of enjoyment, we in
vite you to partake of our best hospital
ity; drive with us over our beautiful city
and note its wonderful progress; visit
our points of historic interest, and loiter
at our suburban resorts. We will sail

breeze, and if you are not afraid of
things that are warm, we will permit
you to oasK in our summer sun. In
fact, we are prepared to do any and
everything tor your comtort and enter
tainment, except offering ourselves as
voluntary subjects for your experi
mental and surgical operations.
When you have dined upon our pig
fish, served with oyster patties and clam
fritters, you will be, or ought to be, en
thused with a renewed determination to
protect the molars of your patients that
they, too, following you to our seashore,
may be the more able to enjoy the deli
ciousnes of that repast; and when you
have drunk our Rock Spring water, an
invitation we traditionally extend and
practically intend to be honored more
in the breach than in the observance,
you will either return to Wilmington as
a citizen thereof, or to your original dust
as a willing sacrifice to malaria. But
there are many things in this commu
nity called Rock Spring water other than
the original, and lest you may be led
astray unwittingly by a misnomer I cau
tion you to examine carefully the prof
fered water, before drinking unwisely.
In truth, gentlemen, we are glad to
see you, and alter you have sojourued
with us a few days we hope you will be
so pleased with our city and its people
that you will not only return to us on
an occasional visit, but that you will al
come to practice your profession
among us.
RESPONSE TO ADDRESS OF WELCOME DY
V. E. TURNER, OF RALEIGH.
In behalf of the State Dental Associa
tion it becomes my pleasant duty to re
spond to the welcome which has been so
cordially extended to us
1 hat a kind reception would emanate
from these open-hearted and chivalrous
people of the Cape Fear section who
have been so ably represented this morn
ing, was no more than was expected by
every one who has had the good fortune
to be thrown among them
That this grand old city, filled with
the descendants of the purest and gen
tlest blood known to the Carolinas or to
the South, should receive us in a man
ner becoming the traditions of their
fathers is no surprise to us. As a peo
ple, they possess to an extent beyond
any I have ever known a happy and easy
grace of manner which conveys a cor
diality no words can express which
breathes a welcome generous and heart
felt so that every visitor to this friend
ly section recognizes at once its genial
influence; a people who, in spite of mis
fortune and adversities, have remained
true to the interests of their section and
maintained the characteristics ot a re
fined and gentle race, distinguished for
their adhesion to principles which are
dear to every Southern heart.
And if anything could add to the
pleasure of this reception it is the charm
ing and graceful manner in which we
have been greeted by one of your prom
inent and talented citizens
In recognition ot the kind mention of
our Society, a few words relating to its
history and objects may not be amiss.
In the first place, it should be stated
that dental surgery, being a young pro
fession, was and is still deficient in its
literature and text-books, and progress
could only be made by associated efforts.
Sixteen years ago a tew zealous prac
titioners, feeling that it was necessary to
make a united effort to promote a higher
order of dentistry and to battle against
the ignorant and incompetent fossils
who were working so much injury and
degradation to our science, held a meet
ing in oeauion.
This little band, numbering not more
than six or eight, organized the State
Association, and, though few in num
ber, there was evinced a full determina
tion to place dentistry upon a higher
plane, and to keep pace with our sister
States in the progress of the science.
riom that time we have met every
year, increasing our members till there
were present at our last meeting in
Greensboro about sixty dentists who are
our most reputable practitioners and
represent nearly every section of the
State.
The great object of these aunual gath
erings is mutual improvement by com
paring ideas and experience, by investi
gating and exemplifying all that may be
new, and by perlecting our metnoas oi
treatment, and by gaining any know
ledge that may aid us in the effort to
ameliorate human suffering and to ele
vate the standard of professional attain
ments.
It has been our custom to invite emi
nent practitioners from other States and
the larger cities to meet with us and to
demonstrate any specialties to which
they may have been devoting them
selves, and in. which they may have be
come distinguished experts, thereby
affording to every member of our Asso
ciation an opportunity to witness the
new and advanced methods'o! treatment.
Another conspicuous object of the
Society has been to encourage the
younger members and those whose op
portunities for preparation have not
been so favorable, to unite with us, so
that we might throw around them such
influences as would arouse them to a
higher ambition and a more conscien
tious discharge of the duties which lie
before them.
Ouite a number of young men of lim
ited means have, through the assistance
of the Association, been enabled to com
plete the course of study in the Dental
schools, and some of them to-day rank
with the foremost operators of this State,
and will compare favorably with those
from any other State.
In thus taking a higher stand, we nave
been enabled to enlist in the cause men
of more ability and education.
During its short existence this body
has acquired sufficient influence to se
cure such legislation as to a great extent
upon the people.
These and other creditable results
have been achieved by the Society, in
spite of the active opposition of quacks
and charlatans; and yet we regard this
as a mere beginning. We feel that we
have scarcely reached the threshold of
the vast possibilities of the future.
Your recogmon ot our objects and
aims, which is vouchsafed to us by your
kind attention this morning, is a reward
we prize beyond anything else, and will
be cherished by us for years to come,
That a refined and cultivated people
should give us their approval and good
TAR
WHOLE NO. 7.407
wishes is a glorious triumph, and will
stimulate us to renewed energy and zeal
in the effort to make dentistry in North
Carolina as progressive as it is in any
other State. In conclusion I will say
that I only hope our sojourn here will be
as profitable to the profession as we have
made it pleasant to us.
The President's address, by Dr. Hil
liard, of Rocky Mou nt, was pointed,
timely and practical. Particulaily ap
propriate was that part in reference to
the "pot hunters" (i. e. the men who go
from house to house in a community
with a kit of tools) who ruin thou
sands of teeth annually by the very
grossest kind of malpractice. Several
suggestions therein made were endorsed
by the Society, and a legislative com
mittee appointed, as advised, to see that
a law be passed the coming winter pro
tecting dentists, precisely as the medical
profession is now favored. The dental
profession already has a good law to pro
tect it from the evils of the empiric, the
tyro, the charlatan; but wants a some
what stronger one; and that an intelli
gent legislative body will grant it goes
without saying.
A special paper on "Dental Ethics"
was read by Dr. A. M. Culbreth, of
Whiteville, and discussed at considera
ble length.
Papers were also read by Dr. J. E.
Wyche, of Oxford, on "Chemistry and
Metallurgy;" Dr. Rominger, on "Physi
ology;" Dr. Harris, on "Pathology and
Therapeutics," and Dr. H. D. Harper,
of Kinston, on "Mechanical Dentistry."
The essayist, Dr. Raminger, read a
serio-comic paper on "Contradictory
Nonsense," which was highly enjoyed
and applauded to the echo.
The "old war horse," Dr. J. W. Hun
ter, of Salem, is on hand as usual and is
the best loved dentist in all North Car
olina.
EVENING SESSION.
The Convention convened pursuant to
adjournment, President Hilliard presid
ing. The Executive Committee re
ported favorably upon the applications
of Drs. L. White and W. B. Murphy to
become members of the Society, and
upon being balloted upon they were de-
claredduly elected.
Applications of Drs. Tucker and Mor
row were reported to the Society and
referred to the Executive Committee.
The special order of the evening ses
sion was then taken up, which was the
advisability of the appointment of a
committee of five whose duty it shall be
to investigate the subject of more ex
tensive dental legislation. The presi
dent appointed the following named
gentlemen on that committee: Drs. J.
H. Durham, J. F. Griffith, H. D. Har
per, E. L. Hunter and H. C. Herring
to report to the Society at a subsequent
meeting.
The Executive Committee reported
to the Society some irregularities upon
the part of some of the members rela
tive to the matter of taking and in
structing students.
TO-DAY'S PROGRAMME.
