What is the matter . with Uncle
Jerry Rusk? Whence this profound
dumbness ? Why does he not write
some more epistles to the farmer and
throw some light on why the Mc
Kinley tariff does not "open a mar

barrel of pork." Mr. Blaine's dis
coveries have a tendency to get the

question.

really want to encourage home in

THE SUICIDE.
Coroner's Verdict in the Case of Cufley
Screven.
Coroner Jacobs held an inquest yes
terday morning on the body of "Cuffey
Screven, the colored man whose death
from taking laudanum Thursday even
ing was reported in the Star. Dr. F.
W. Potter reported as the result of the
boit mortem examination the finding of
laudanum in the stomach of the de
ceased, and his belief that death was
caused bv this drug.
Henrietta Hall, - the colored woman
who reported the condition of Screven,
testified that the deceased came
into the kitchen where she was
at work. He said gooa evening
and remarked that he was very sleepy.
She told him that he looked stupid, and
he said, "Yes, I am, for I have tnken
two spoonsful of laudanum." She ask
ed why he took it; but he made no
answer, and sat down in a chair and
fell asleep. She tried to get him up
but could not; succeeded finally in par
tially arousing him, and he asked her
not to call a doctor.
Upon hearing the above testimony
the jury rendered a verdict that the
deceased Cuffey Screven came to his
death from an overdose of laudanum
administered by his own hands.

A FATAL PISTOL SHOT.
Clara New Dies From the Wound Inflict
ed by Julius Bloodworth The Coroner's
Inquest, Etc.
Clara New, the young colored woman
who was shot by Julius Bloodworth last
Wednesday, died yesterday morning at
half-past ten o'clock at the house where
the shooting occurred, in McRae's alley.
Dr. F. W. Potter, superintendent of
of health, who attended the woman,
made a post mortem examination of the
body, but the Coroner was not informed
of the woman's death until about five
o'clock in the afternoon, and then only
by a friend of the woman who applied
for an order for a coffin and a permit
for the burial of the body.
Coroner Jacobs at once tookTsteps to
hold an inquest, and summoned and em
panelled the following as jurymen: F.
S.Merrick, R. F. Rowan, T. C. Miller,
Elijah McKellar, Monroe Byrd and Jno.
S. Barnes.
Dr. Potter testified to having made a
bosi mortem examination on the body
of the deceased. There were three holes,
he said, made by the ball in the small in
testine on its passage into the backbone,
but after examining closely for two
hours he had to abandon the search
without finding the ball.
Minerva Wright testified that she was
in the kitchen with the deceased and
Julius Bloodworth; they were playing,
and the next thing I knew a pistol shot
was fired. I saw the deceased fall on
the floor and tried to get her up, and
then ran out and called Joe Boney and
Mag Wheeler, and then went off after a
doctor, and then to the City Hall. After
I heard the shot I saw the man go out
the kitchen door, and haven't seen him
since. His name is Julius Bloodworth.
Mag Wheeler said Minerva called her
and asked her if she had seen her brother
Julius; she had not seen him. Minerva
said he had shot Clara. Mag said she
then went over and helped Clara into
bed.
The jury rendered a verdict that the
deceased, Clara New, came to her death
from a pistol-shot at the hands of Julius
Bloodworth.
John Bloodworth, father of the mur
derer, was in the city yesterday, and
called at the City Hall. He told Mayor
Fowler that he had not seen Julius for
several weeks and knew nothing about
him.
N. C, SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1890.
Y. M. C. A. BUILDING.
A Handsome and Commodious Structure
to be Erected on Front and . Mulberry
Streets.
The proper papers for the lot on Mul
berry street between Front and Nutt,
recently purchased from Hall & Pear
sall by the Young Men's Christian As
sociation, have been executed and the
property is now in the hands of the As
sociation. The buildings now on the
place will be sold at auction next Tues
day and will be immediately removed,
preparatory to the erection of a hand
some structure of pressed brick or brown
stone.
Mr. S. W. Faulk, architect, of New
Castle, Pa., will be here next Monday to
secure the data necessary to enable him
to execute the final plans and detailed
specifications. Our own city could
possibly have furnished a skilled archi
tect, but Mr. French has had extended
experience in designing Association
buildings and is therefore best fitted for
this work.
The building, it is intended, will be
first class in every particular and an or
nament to the city. Twenty-five or
thirty thousand dollars will be expended
in its construction. It will be three sto
ries on Front street and four stories on
Nuttj On Nutt street the first and sec
ond floors (seventy-five feet deep) will
be fitted for store room and offices, and,
under the terms of sale, will be occu
pied by Messrs. Hall & Pearsall
for their business. The first floor
on Front street will be occupied
by two stores, 30x65 feet, between which
will be a commodious entrance to the
Association rooms on the second floor.
On the same level as the first floor on
Nutt street, in rear of Hall & Pearsall's
store, and extending partly underneath
the stores on Front street, will be the
gymnasium.
The third and fourth floors on Nutt
street will be fitted for a handsome lec
ture and music hall, with a seating ca
paeity of over one thousand.
The second and third stories on the
Front street end will be used exclusively
for the Association rooms.
Through the past twelve months the
committee on the purchase of a lot have
worked earnestly and faithfully in be
half of this movement for the young
men of Wilmington, and should be un
stintedly commended for their success
in securing the present eligible site.
Plan after plan have they canvassed,
and have never flagged in their deter
mination to procure a good and desirable
place for this important building. The
place has many advantages. It has a
splendid southern exposure and will get
the breeze from that quarter, making it
comfortable and securing ample ventila
tion. Every visitor to the city must
pass right bv it, by whatever road he
comes, except the Onslow road. Owing
to the large number of young men em
ployed in the railroad offices and shops
it is very nearly in the centre of popula
tion of that class of the community.
There will be an assured income from
both the Nutt and Front street ends.
Already one of the stores on Front
street has been spoken for, and, as before-stated,
the entire Nutt street end
has been leased.
The directors have decided to sell the
lot on Market street, and it is being ad
vertised for that purpose.
This is the most earnest and extend
ed movement yet made in Wilmington
in behalf of the physical, social, intel
lectual and moral welfare of her young
men, and should and doubtless will re
ceive the hearty support of the com
munity. Happy Family Reunion in Pender.
A correspondent of the Star writes:
There is not a more loving or affec
tionate family than that composing the
eight children and their parents, Mr.
F. H. Bell and wife Susan, living near
Rocky Point, Pender county. These
eight children, living in various portions
of Pender and other counties, were as
sembled in joyful reunion on Friday
last at the elegant and happy home of
their honored father and mother, and
spent the day most happily. The din
ner table contained every, delicacy and
luxury that could tempt 'the appetite.
Six of these children are happily married
and husbands and wives were also pres
ent. Mr. Bell is well known as one of
the foremost and best citizens of Pen
der, and one of its largest and most suc
cessful farmers. This delightful reun
ion was the more agreeable because of
the presence of his son, Dr. C. D. Bell, a
talented and leading physician of Gates
county, and a big farmer.
