Peter Smith, a denizen of the

the other day. He had a fleet horse
and was in the habit of getting on
the track before the passenger train
and running a race for half a mile
with the engine, turning out at a
crossing and then poking fun at the
trainmen as the tram passed. He
succeeded so well with his horse
that he concluded to try a mule.
The mule wasn't quite as light
heeled as the horse, but got along
pretty well till within a short dis

rolled off the track aftd-eicaped,

Wind, Hail and Bain in Duplin and
Wayne Crops Seriously Injured."
Special reports to the Star, giving
accounts of a severe wind, rain and hail
storm along the line of the Wilmington
& Weldon Railroad yesterday evening,
say that it extenaea irom Lupiin
Roads to Dudley, a distance of about
forty miles, going in a westwardly
direction. The rainfall was very
heavy and the storm was accom
panied by hail and wind that came with
great' force, : blowing down trees and
fences and levelling at least twenty-five
telegraph poles.
At Mt. Olive, about seyenty miles
from Wilmington, the hail was especial
ly severe, and it is thought that the
truck farmers in that neighborhood sus
tained serious damage.
If reports are correct Warsaw has ou
earnest sympathy, the young lady tele
graph operator at that point stating that
the hail was the most severe and largest
she had ever seen. some of the hail
stones being as large as eggs. Upon
suggesting to her that she had referrence
to sparrow eggs in her comparison she
most emphatically declared that it was
not so, but that she meant goose eggs.
At Magnolia there was considerable
hail and wind and a heavy rainlaii.

SUDDEN DEATH. OR. MOSES D. HOGE.
Mr. Edward J. Moore Stricken Down by
. Heart Disease.
The sudden death of Mr. Edward J.
Moore, a well known citizen of Wil
mington, which occurred last night
about half-past nine o'clock, in the Odd
Fellows' hall on North Third street, was
a great shock to his family and friends.
Mr. Moore was at the hall attending a
meeting of his Lodge,, He was seated in a
chair, very composedly, when suddenly he
threw his head back and gasped once or
twice, as if for breath. Several of the
members present went to his assistance
and Jound him unconscious. He was
placed on a lounge and Dry Thomas F.
Wood washurriedly called, but in a few
moments aftetMSitfattack Mr. Moore ex
pired. His TScath is supposed to have
resulted fom heart-disease, from which
he had recently suffered. With gentle
hands his body was removed to thekotne
of his stricken family.
Mi. Moore was a native of New Han
over county and was about 52 years of
age; he spent most of his life in Wil
mington. He graduated at Horner's
School in 1858, and at the outbreak of the
war volunteered as a member of Com
pany I, Eighteenth N. C. Infantry, and
was badly wounded at the battle of
Fredericksburg. For years past he has
been in the employ of Messrs. Holmes
& Watters and was held in the highest
esteem alike by his employers and the
community. He leaves a wife and seven
children who have the deepest sympa
thy of all who know them in their sad
affliction.
A TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.
Caused by Ignition of Alcoholic Vapor in
a Whiskey Barrel.
About half-past three o'clock yester
day afternoon a terrific explosion oc
curred in the Acme.saloon on the cor
ner of Front and Dock streets. The
report sounded like the discharge of a
small cannon and the concussion was
felt in several buildings on the block
A crowd quickly gathered around
the saloon, and upon investigation it.
was found that the noise was caused by
the explosion of a whiskeyjbarrel, and
that Mr. J. G. L. Gieschen, proprietor of
the saloon, had been pauifully miured.
The accident was a singular one. The
barrel, from which the liquor had been
drawn off several days ago, was put
outside the saloon on the sidewalk,
where it had been exposed all the morn
ing to the sun. In the afternoon Mr.
Gieschen having occasion to use a rub
ber-tube with which liquor is drawn
from the barrels in the place, found that
a small strainer attached to one end of
the tube was missing, and thinking it
might have been left in the barrel outside
rolled it in and knocked the bung out
He then lit a match and holding it close
to the bung-hole, leaned over to see if
he could find the strainer, when the
alcoholic vapor in the barrel ignited and
the explosion occurred, the flames flash
ing up through the bung-hole into Mr,
Gieschen's face, burning him seriously.
One end of the barrel was blown out
and against a'.board partition with great
force,, the edge making a consdierar
ble indentation in the hard wood.
The explosion occurred in the rear room
of the saloon. It jarred the whole build
ing, broke outone'of the panes of glass
in tne window on uock street, ana
knocked down a number of bottles of
liquor on shelves behind, the counter.
Mr. Gieschen's eyebrows and mous
tache were burned off, but fortunately
his eyes were not injured, and his phy
sician says he will be all right in a few
days.
A LIVELY MEAT MARKET.
Hams Selling for Five Cents Apiece, In-
, eluding Trimmings.
The meat market was lively yesterday.
At least that portion of it contained in a
box on a dray near the Star office was.
Strong, live hams hams that could
crawl across the street were selling for
five cents apiece. Not five cents a
pound, mind you, but five cents for a
whole ham. Two "devils" from the
Star office tried to sample them, but
were met by such a storm of indignant
protests from the inhabitants of the
hams that they were forced to desist.
Not so, however, with the sons of
Ethiopia who crowded around the dray
while the persuasive vender assured
them that "them hams was sweet and
extry fine," and that "them little critters
what they saw crawlin' aroun' never
tackled anything but a fustrate ham."
The "brothers in black" reached deep
down into the recesses of their pants
and drew forth their nickels with a
celerity that boded no good to the lively
skippers. They "went the whole hog,
werrums and all. The menu of the
colored brother to-day will consist
mainly of bugged ham with skipper
sauce.

For Virginia, showers, stationaay

RICE COMPETITION.
Heavy Movement of Bice in Japan.
The annexed extract from an official
report of the United States consul at
one of the principal Japanese ports will
prove interesting to many readers of the
Star who are engaged in the cultiva
tion of rice :
"The reports concur in estimating the
yield of rice this season as unusually
large; 173,701,500 bushels is a good aver
age crop, but this year as much as 248,
145,000 will probably be produced. If
this estimate be realized, the quantity of
rice available for export will not be far
short of 74,443,500 bushels, which is be
lieved to be more than America and
Europe can possibly take, and is about
ten times as much as the largest export
hitherto made in any one year from
Japan."
TAR,
THE CONOLY MURDER.
Fuller Details of the Preliminary Trial
at Mill Prone A Missing Link in
the Chain of Evidence Against Mo-
Dougald.
The Star has already announced the
honorable discharge, at Mill Prong, of
the three men suspected of the murder
of Mr. Simeon Conoly; but the follow
ing fuller details from the Red Springs
Scottish Chief will be read with intere st
particularly the paragraph in reference
to D. A. McDougald, who is mentioned
as "the party who has fled:"
"The preliminary trial of Messrs.
Millard Moore. Wm. Purnell and John
Kelley for complicity in the murder of
Simeon Conoly, was held yesterday be
fore Justices Purcell and McMiilap, at
Mill Prong, in this county. The State
was represented by John D. Shaw, Jr.,
of Laurinburg. Walter H. Neal, Esq.,
of Laurinburg, appeared for Kelley, and
H. McMillan, of Red Springs, for Moore
and Purcell.
"About ninety witnesses were in at
tendance, and the trial, commencing at
10 a. m., lasted till dark, and resultee in
the honorable discharge of the three
defendants. The crowd during the day
was estimated a3 high as five hundred,
and though the excitement was intense
there was no disturbance and the dis
charge of the prisoners gave perfect sat
isfaction to, all present.
"It is much to be regretted that inno
cent men were in jail for a week,
charged with murder.
"Circumstances point to another party
as the murderer, and the evidence is
exceedingly strong against him. One
of the State's witnesses yesterday gave a
bit ot testimony which supplies a link in
the chain of evidence against the party
who has fled.
"We trust that the real murderer may
be apprehended and brought to justice,
"Public sympathy is with the friends
of the murdered man, who was a kind
gentleman, a Confederate soldier, and
held in high esteem."
A REAL ESTATE POINTER.
Evidence of a Healthy Advance-The Car
olina Central Offices.
There is no "boom" in real estate in
Wilmington, but- the advance in that
class of property has been steady, sub
stantial and healthy. As an evidence ot
this it may be stated that an offer ap-
-pxoximating $15,000 cash has recently
been made for the property on Front
street owned by the Carolina Central
Railroad Company, and now occupied
as offices. It was sold a few years since
for $10,000. An advance of fifty per
cent, since that sale shows that desirable
real estate located anywhere in Wil
mington is much more valuable than it
was a few years ago. The offer was de
clined, and the property is not for sale.
This would seem to set at rest all rumors
that the Carolina Central people would
remove their offices to some other point
on the Seaboard Air Line. Wilmington
and Norfolk are the . Qnly two seaports
on the lines of the Seaboard system, and
it does not seem that either could be
ignored; but there has been some talk
about the removal of the offices.
STEAMER LE MONTE.
The Fire All Out The Vessel to Sail
To-Day.
Col. Jno. W. Atkinson, agent for the
insurance underwriters, went down to
Southport yesterday to inquire into the
condition of the steamer Le Monte which
put in at that place Monday morning
with her cargo of cotton on fire. Col.
Atkinson returned to the city last even
ing. Capt. Quick, the master of the
steamer, has succeeded in extin
guishing the fire which was confined to
the cotton in the forward compartment.
About seventy-five bales had been taken
out, and it was intended to remove all
the damaged cotton, which will then be
brought to Wilmington and sold for the
benefit of all concerned. Capt. Quick
expected that the Le Monte would sail
from Southport this morning for her
destination.
RIVER AND MARINL.
The schooner Morancy, 188 tons, of
Boston, bound from New York to Wil
mington, N. C, with general cargo, was
towed into Norfotk Sunday by the tug
E. Luckenbach, having picked her up at
Thimble Light. The Morancy was in
collision at 1.30 a. m. Saturday with the
schooner Augustus Hunt, of Bath, Me.,
off Body Island, W. S. W. 15 miles.
Capt. Wilson, of the Morancy, has pro
tested with H. L. Cannon. He says
that his schooner had her bowsprit,
jibboom, outer iib, flying jib and every
thing forward carried away, and waist
and forecastle deck broken. A survey
was held on her and repairs ordered.
No serious damage was done to the
Hunt as far as known. Capt. Wilson
says his lights were up and burning
