FIGHTING ON A STEAMBOAT:
A Police Office? Assaulted and Boughly
Handled.
The river steamer Maggie, lying at
the foot of Princess street, was the
scene of turmoil and trouble yesterday.
During the morning Henry Cromartie,
the colored pilot, got into an altercation
with the owner of the boat, Mr. R.
McCabe, knocked him down and was
about to strike him with a maul when he
was seized and disarmed by some of the
crew. For the rest of the day there was
a good deal of quarrelling among the
negroes on board, and late in the after
noon two of them Amos Jones and W.
H. Council got into a fight. Knives
were drawn, and one of the men re
ceived a slight cut on the hand. Police
officer Brinkley went on board the
boat to arrest the rioters, when
he was attacked by the pilot,
Cromartie. In the scuffle that
followed the officer was thrown down
the negro holding him by the throat
with one hand and with the other grasp
ing the policeman's left arm. The offi
cer attempted to use his club, but it was
seized and held by McCabe and being
attached by a cord to the officer's wrist,
he was completely powerless. Col. W.
C. Jones, who witnessed the affray from
the office of the Navassa Guano Com
pany, went to the police officer's assis
tance and compelled his assailant to
release him. Officer Brinkley then, with
the assistance of another policeman,
who had arrived at the scene of the
fray, arrested Cromartie and carried
him to the guard house, despite hfs des
perate resistance. A telephone message
to the City Hall, brought other police
men and one ot the firemen who had
started the row was found and dragged
from under the furnace of the steamer
Lisbon, lying at the same wharf with
the Maggie. McCabe, Jones, and
Hawes, the last two colored, were also
arrested and taken to the City Hall, and
were released on bail for their appear
ance at the Mayor's Court this morning.
Audit and Finance.
The Board of Audit and Finance met
yesterday afternoon in regular semi
monthly session. Present: Messrs. R.
J. Jones (chairman), Jno. F. Maunder,
Wm. Calder, W. R. Kenan, Jno. W.
Hewett.
The Board declined to concur in the
recommendation of the Board of Alder
men that an appropriation not exceed
ing $600 be made for the purchase of
two houses which obstruct Seventh
street between Wooster and Dawson,
it being the opinion of the Board that
the proper way to open a street is by a
jury to assess damages and benefits to
property owners, according to law.
The appropriation of $1,230 for the
purchase of the Fifth Ward market
house property was concurred in.
Bills were audited and approved, for
current expenses, amounting to $143.21.
The Board adjourned subject to the
call of the chairman.
A. Colored Horse Thief.
The Burgaw Herald prints the follow
ing: "Last week a colored man appear
ed in Burgaw with a horse and top
buggy, stating that he was on his way to
Virginia and offered to sell out forrten
dollars to William Curtis. Suspicion
was aroused and he was followed by
Bob Durham, Willie Rivenbark and
Fred. Croom, and overtaken at D.J.
McMillan's, and- when apprehended
jumped out behind his buggy and made
his escape amid a volley of pistol shots
from his pursuers. The team belonged
to R. C. Orrell, of Wilmington, and was
engaged about 11 o'clock that day for
the assumed purpose of conveying a
dead cftild to the cemetery. It came
very near being his own funeral."
No-Fence Law.
A no-fence law would be very oppres
sive to the farmers ot New Hanover
county, both white and colored. Under
such a law the stock that now subsist on
the marsh grass of the Sounds would
have to be fenced in or penned by the
owners, entailing on them a very heavy
expense. Yet, William H. Chadbourn,
when a member of the North Carolina
Legislature, voted in favor of such a law
for New Hanover county.

Library Association Concert.
Prof . Koebben and his family de
lighted an audience of over eighty peo
ple at the Library rooms last night.
Comic songs, Tyrolean mountain
songs and instrumental pieces on the
cithara, both solos and trios, gave va
riety to the performance. The cithara
is a specially sweet instrument,
well adapted to concerts in parlors or
small halls, and the Professor and his
family showed what excellent music,
both as to harmony and expression, could
be obtained from it. Mks Koebben's
execution was specially fine; but all the
instrumental pieces were well rendered,
and all the songs sung with much ex
pression and accuracy.
Captain Bixby announced "the pro
gramme and added a few remarks on the
history of the cithara or zither. The
Rev. Mr. Peschau, as one of the Library
directors, added a few remarks as to the
Library and its value to Wimingtonians.
The excellent music, the exceedingly
attractive appearance of the room, the
fine show made by its many books, pe
riodicals and pictures, all combined to
make the audience enjoy their evening's
entertainment, which, it is suggested,
may be the forerunner of many other
entertainments at the Library rooms
this winter.

THE CAMPAIGN.
Capt. S. B. Alexander's Address at the
Opera House Last Night.
Capt. S. B Alexander, Democratic
candidate for Congress in this district,
addressed the citizens of Wilmington
last night,-in the court room of the
City Hall! Mr. TV. A.Oldham called
thsj meeting to order, saying that he
had prepared a very, fine and long
speech for this Occasion, but as he was
to be followed by two distinguish
ed orators, he would postpone its
delivery until a later day. He then
introduced Mr, J. H. Currie. who made
a speech of twenty minutes, replete with
historical reference, political facts and
eloquent appeals to the Democracy,
and, in . conclusion, handsomely intro
duced the Hon. S. B. Alexander.
Mr. Alexander opened his address by
a reference to the Farmers' Alliance.
He found that in Wilmington, as in other
towns and cities, much misapprehension
existed as to the purpose and aims of
that organization. It was not a politi
cal machine. It was making no war
upon the business or professional inter
ests of the citiesr but its sole aim and
object was the education of the farmers
in a knowledge of the economic ques
tions and the evil legislation that af
fected and militated against the
interests of the country. He be
lieved that as a result of the
work of the Alliance farmers had been
relieved of the impression, which once
existed, that they were imposed upon
and fleeced by the city and town mer
chants; and, inste?d now of tracing
the depressed condition of their affairs to
them, they were realizing and appreciat
ing that the cause, was Republican
legislation. He was a strong Alli
ance man and a strong Demo
crat, and every day the Democratic
party was receiving accessions from the
former class because the Alliance had
taught them that that party had been
and still was, fighting against the evils
of Republican mal-ad ministration,
which had so injured, not only the farm
ing, but other interests of the country.
Mr. Alexander then depicted the
depressed condition of agriculculture
the evil influence of the great trusts and
combines of capital that were endanger
ing the prosperity of the country; and
the dangers that confronted us and
threatened to destroy American citizen
ship. He attributed the wrongs under
which the people suffered to the con
traction of the currency, the tariff, the
revenue laws and the extravagant
payment of pensions. Under each of
these heads, Mr. Alexander spoke in de
tail, in an earnest, practical and forceful
manner, and commanded the close at
tention of his audience. His speech was
thdughtful and conservative, and his ar
gument throughout, sustained by facts
and cogent reasoning.
Mr. Alexander appeared before a Wil
mington audience last night, and made
a most favorable impression. He is a
man of distinguished appearance and
there is an earnest, thoughtful manner
in his speaking, evidencing his study of
economic questions, which inspires
confidence for his argument.
His audience evidenced their apprecia
tion by close attention and frequent ap
plause. His speech last night will do
good work for the Democratic party.
