Cold Weather Followed by Higher Tem
perature. The Weather Bureau at Washington
sent oat a special bulletin yesterday af
ternoon, announefng that unusually cold
weather prevailed yesterday morning
over the entire country east of the
Rocky Mountains and as far south as
southern North Carolina. It was stated
that it would probably be still colder this
morning; but the low temperature con
ditions were not likely to be of long
continuance, owing to a storm which
was central in Nebraska and moving
eastward which was likely to cause
warmer weather. This prediction- was
fully verified. The weather was cold
until last night when it grew warmer,
and the forecasts received, predicted
warmer fair weather for to-day in North
and South Carolina and Georgia.

WILMINGTON LIBRARY.
The Good Work Accomplished the Past
Tear Encouraging Prospects for the
Future.
Capt. Bixby, as acting manager of the
Library Association for the past eighteen
months, has lately been drawing up a
report upon the late work of the Library
for presentation at the next meeting of
the Board ' of Directors of that body.
From him we get the following particu
lars :
The Library Association has made
excellent progress since last year. Then
there were only 51 paying members
now there are 119 ; a gain of 150 per
cent. There are now 177 different maga
zines on its tables, of which 135 are
bought and the rest loaned -by mem
bers. About 120 volumes of general
literature, a large number of public
documents, a complete set of Coast
Survey reports and 400 maps, and a copy
of the Encyclopedia Brittanica have
been received during the past year. The
Library has also been a U. S. public de
pository of governmental publications.
A table, three table covers, eleven book
cases, four periodical cases, twenty news
paper files, two newspaper racks, and a
transparency have been added to the
furniture.'while the old book cases and
newspaper cases have been remod
elled and painted. About twenty
pictures have been mounted and fixed
upon the walls; and the old carpet re
laid in a neat manner. The books have
been all taken several times from their
shelves, cleaned, repaired, re-placed and
arranged in systematic order according
to their subject matter and order. A
list has been made of the entire collec
tion, and a card catalogue has been
added to enable persons to find quickly
and readily any book in the library. This
card catalogue is equal in thoroughness
to that of "any library in the United
States.
Visitors to the library (and they are
increasing in numbers each day) are be
ginning to appreciate the use and value
of a trained librarian and ours is one
of the best in the country. One-square
advertisements have been inserted in all
the daily papers, over 10,000-circulars as
to the library have been distributed
about the city, and everything done to
invite the public to the rooms. A series
of eight stereopticon lectures, and two
concerts, have been given under the
auspices of the Library during the ast
year
All expenses of the Library during
this interval have been paid up, and the
only debt which will remain unsettled
at the end of the year is a single note of
four years standing, upon which interest
will, have been paid to date. Those
who have visited the Library know what
thoroughly honest and enthusiastic
work has been done all the year by its
efficient librarian, Miss Sargent, assist
ed by Mrs. DeRosset and Miss Weill.
Mrs. Meares and Taylor, Misses
Adrian. Bowden, DeRosset and Wood;
Messrs. Barbot, Bellamy, Bixby, Krupp
Lodor, Mayer, Murchison, Munson,
Pennypacker, Richards, Van Laer and
luul.nlo,. r,A oil Vi npwsnancrs have
i " , 4 .
i . ., .
in various ways helped on tne lectures
1 ,
and concerts. Rev. K. btrange, ur.
DeRosset, Maj. Stedman, Dr. Wood
and one or two others have contributed
cash; and Mrs. King and Thomas, Miss
Bradley, and Messrs. Bagg, Bixby,
Chase. Clark. Davis, bremont neirs,
Torri T vi MrClammv. Munson and
Wood' and the Wilmington and South-
- -
port papers have helped on the books
and magazines.
Other lectures and concerts and new
dditiQns the Lib are pr0mised
for next year if the necessary financial
encouragement be received. Another
year like the last would undoubtedly
place the Library in the sure road to
permanent and self-sustaining prosperi
ty. The ever increasing ineuiuctomp
and attendance is a sign ot increased in
terest. All that remains , necessary is
another year of substantial sympathy on
the part of holders-of pocket books.

ment next Thursday evening, at tne

THE SMITH CASE.
Continuation of the Interesting Case Evi
denoe for the Defense Wednesday.
Raleigk News and Observer.
The case of Smith vs. Smith, from
New Hanover, occupied the attention of
theU. S. Circuit . Court again all day
yesterday, and when an adjournment
was had the defendants had not con
cluded their testimony.
In the morning the plaintiff, G. H.
Smith, was introduced and identified
certain letters written him by several of
the defendants acknowledging him as a
brother. Mrs. Grotgen also testified
in behalf of the plaintiff that she was
well acquainted with Smith, and that in
a conversation with her as late at 1885
he said that his wife's first name was
Bridget.
The plaintiff here rested his case, and
the defendant's counsel occupied the re
mainder of the morning session in read
ing depositions taken by them at Wil
mington, N. C.
The depositions showed that Thos.
H. Smith came to Wilmington, N. C,
five or six years prior to the war, and
lived there with a woman as his wife,
whom he called by the name of Ellen,
and bv whom he had two boys; that at
thp hpffinninor of the war he sent her
and her two children back to England
to his mother to eet them out of the
war. One of the witnesses in the depo
sitions, and also Thos. B. Burnett, who
was examined in Court, testified as to
the existence of a woman by the name
of Bridget Massa, and as to her being a
loose character about Wilmington prior
to tne war.
W. H. Stvron. the next witness, testi
fied that he knew Thos. H. Smith well,
and that sometime after 1872 Smith
told him he had taken his first wife and
tw.p children to Nassau, and that his
first wife had died in Nassau, and that
he sent the two children to England.
Mayor Fowler testified as to the good
character of Styron.
Mrs. Smith was next introduced, and
irtpnt.ifip.rl the familv Bible containing
the record of .Smith's ; first . mairiage to
one imicu oiiiilu in ijivtipwi iw j..
The case will probably not get to the
jury until late this evening or possibly
to-morrow morning.
The six attorneys employed on the
case will all speak and some fine argu
ment will doubtless be heard.
The defendants rely upon proving
that Smith had two wives instead of one
prior to his marriage with Miss Watson,
and that they were, first Ellen Smith,
and second, Bridget Massa. They claim
, that he was married to Ellen Smith Jn
1854, and again to Bridget Massa"in
1858, before the first wife was dead. They
claim, therefore, that this second mar
riage was illegal. They also claim that
the first wife having died before Smith's
marriage to Miss Watson, and the
second marriage being illegal, that the
children of the third wife are' the only
lawful heirs.
The plaintiffs on the other haad claim
that Ellen Smith and Bridgett Massa
were one and the same woman.
COMPLIMENTARY SERENADE.

Band.
The "Old North State Band" the
band of the Second Regiment, N. C.
