Bro. Shepard, of the New York
Mail and Express, has made another
great discovery. It is that Senator
Cameron was opposed to the -Force
bill because he is a Democrat at
heart, that he contributed to the
Democratic campaign fund in 1888,
and is in favor of Cleveland for the
next President, and all this because
Mrs. Cameron and Mrs. Cleveland
are chums. All of which being so,
on the authority of Bro. Shepard,
we present our compliments to Mrs.
Cameron in the eminent service she
is renderingher country, and on her
happy influence in keeping Don
straight while he mixes so much
with bad company.
WILMINGTON, N. C, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1891,
A Chicago man has invented an
electrical apparatus which it is said
will bring a runaway horse to a dead
halt in a jiffy. He just turns a screw,
sends three volts, through the bit, into
the horse's mouth and the horse
hasn't a bit of desire to hurry any
more. If he could introduce that in
vention in Congress and throw some
volts into the mouths of Senators
like Ingalls, Spooner, &c, it would
prove a real valuable contrivance.

can be said to his credit that when
the armies surrendered he quit mak
ing war.

THE NIGHT SCHOOL.
The " Creole" by Miss Granger and Com
pany. A small audience witnessed the pro
duction of "The Creole" by Miss Gran
ger and her company. This is to be re
gretted, as it is seldom that an attrac
tion of as high class as is this one visits
this city. Their performance last night
was a perfect one. Empty benches
seemed to have no effect upon any of
the company, who were one and all
most painstaking and conscientious in
the personation of their respec
tive parts. Miss Granger as
Cora was excellent. The character is
difficult to correctly portray. Only a
thorough appreciation of human pas
sion and a shrewd analysis of motives
and actions enables Miss Granger to
make of Cora a grand success. To enter
into the heart of the iealous Creole; to

The Star is very much in favor of a

this connection the following from the

a report of the proceedings of a recent
meeting of the Board of Education of
that city, will be read with interest.
Supt. Baker read his monthly report.
Referring to the night school, he said:
The night school was organized on
Monday evening. Feb. 2. The attend
ance on the first night was nearly 150.
On account of the discrepancy in the
ages and attainments of the applicants
it was found expedient to divide the
school into two classes. There should
be four classes in order to secure good
results; in such a case it would be neces
sarv to use other rooms. No teacher

BOILER EXPLOSION AND FIRE.
A Mill Blown Up at Newbem-One Man
Killed and Another Fatally Injured
Loss Estimated at $20,000.
The boiler at Maj. A. R. Dennison's
mill, at Newbern, exploded Friday night
with terrific force, killing one man and
fatally injuring and other. The Journal
says the dead man could scarcely be
recognized, but was said to be Geo.
Moore, a fireman on one of the Govern
ment derricks. The injured man is
Thos. Cordon, fireman at the mill.
About half an hour after the fire it
was discovered that cotton inside the
standing portion of the mill was on fire
and the fire department was called out.
Mr. Dennison, Mr. E. M. Pavie, chief of
the fire department, and about a half
dozen others had a narrow escape from
being killed. As they were at work inside
a cry was raised of fire at another point
and they rushed out. Immediately after
what was left fell with a crash and the
mass of ruins was completely envel
oped in flames.
The fire department prevented the
fire from spreading to any other build
ings. The loss is estimated at $20,000,
with partial insurance.
Lenten Services at St. James'.
To-day services will be held in St.
James' Church as follows :
11 a. m., Litany, Sermon, Holy Com
munion ; 8 p. m., Evening Prayer and
Sermon ; Sunday School at 3.30 p. m.
Every Sunday night in Lent, services
will be held in St. James'. At these
services sermons will be preached by
the Rector on the "Elements of Re
ligion." The subjects will be :
1. Religion: What is it?
2. God : Why do we believe in Him ?
3. The Soul : "If a man die, will he
live again ?"
4. Sin: The Obstacle to "Religion.
5. Prayer : The characteristic of Re
ligion. 6. Jesus Christ, the Mediator.
At these night services seats will be
free. The public cordially invited.
Storm Warning.
The Signal Service observer here, last
night received the following telegram
from the chief Signal officer at Washing-
taught three evenings during the week.
Thus far the instruction has been re
stricted to arithmetic and English
grammar. It was painful to discover so
many boys of 13 and 14 years of age
who seem to be ignorant of the funda
mental principles of numbers. The
class is orderly in deportment and
earnest in attention to their work. The
boys come to learn, and seem to ap
preciate the fact that, with their educa
tion, or want of education, they are
totally unfit for the practical business of
life. If the school is to be a success, an
appropriation for further accommoda
tions and for the securing of regular
teachers will be necessary.
