one hundred witnesses,, whose time
is not counted. The pig was orig

The Foundling Reclaimed
The female infant, born at the City
Hospital and reported as abandoned a
few days ago by its mother, and subse
quently adopted by Mr. J. P. Flynn and
wife, was yesterday surrendered to the
mother, a young woman who came to
the city to reclaim it, arriving Wednes
day night accompanied by an elderly
gentleman who said he was relative of
the woman. Mr. and Mrs. Flynn
had become much attached to the
ittle waif and were reluctant at
first to give up the child, but finally
yielded to the importunities of the
mother, and yesterday a formal surren
der of the child was made. The woman
in her affidavit, made to the Clerk of
the Superior Court, said that she fcad
not abandoned her child, but had en
trusted it to a colored woman to keep
or a few months until she (the mother)
should come for it. The publication of
the matter in the newspapers of this
city, showing that the infant had been
turned over to the county authorities
as a foundling, caused her to return to
Wilmington and seek its recovery.

EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.
The Council at Newborn Second Day's
Proceedings Bishop Watson's Address
Committee Heports, Etc.
Special Star Report
Newbern, May 81. The Council
met promptly at 10 o'clock, Morning
Prayer having been held at 9:30.
The Bishop called the body to order
and the Secretary called the roll. A
number of lay delegates have arrived
here since the Council opened.
The Bishop's address was an interest
ing paper. He has performed a vast
amount of Episcopal labor, besides
taking a trip to Europe. His remarks
touching the death of Israel Harding
and Rev. R. B. Windley were high enco
miums on their worth. His address was
referred to the Committee on the State
of the Church; only, that portion regard
ing the deceased clergymen and the
subject of education, were referred to
special committees.
The day has been largely taken up
with reports and strictly routine mat
ter. Wilmingtonians are conspicuously
present. The venerable treasurer, Dr.
DeRosset, stands at the head of the
delegation, and his associates hold a
high position in the Council. It is not
often a father and son set together in
an assembly ot this sort, but such is the
case with the Doctor and his son, Col.
William L. DeRosset.
There is also a son and grand-son of
the late beloved Bishop Atkinson on
the floor Rev. Thomas Atkinson and
Col. J. Wilder Atkinson. There is also
a father and son and son-in-law pre
sent Rev. N. C. Hughes, D. D., Rev.
N. C. Hughes, Jr., and Rev. N. Hard
ing. It was an error in statement that the
Diocese claimed an interest in a schol
arship in the University of the South.
It should have said in the General Theo
logical Seminary.
From the Newbern Journal.
The parish of St. Thomas, Cumber
land county, was admitted into union
with the Council.
A resolution offered by Rev. Mr.
Phelps, in relerence to the admission of
new parishes, was referred to the Com
mittee on Canons.
A resolution, reimbursing the Bishop
for expenditures on the Episcopal resi
dence, was offered by Rev. Dr. Carmi
chael and unanimously adopted.
Elizabeth City was selected as the
next place of meeting of the Council,
and the third Wednesday in May was
subsequently selected as the time.
The Standing Committee was then
elected: Revs. Jas. C. Huske. D. D.,
James Carmichael, D. D., Rev. Robert
Strange, Dr. A. J. DeRosset and Mr.
George H. Roberts.
The students aid committee was then
elected: Thos. Atkinson, S. J. Hinsdale,
F. R. Rose.
The hour of five having arrived, the
executive missionary committee made a
report through Rev. Mr. Strange, with
a resolution which was adopted, com
bining the convocation on diocesan
evangelist.
The church building committee was
then elected: Rev. T. M. N. George, L.
L. Williams and John Dunn.
The executive missionary committee
was then elected: Rev. Robt. Strange,
R. B. Drane, Hon. H. R. Bryan, W. H.
Green and E. S. Hoyt.
ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION.
A Banquet Given by Wilmington Hook
and Ladder Co. No. 1.
The members of Wilmington Hook
and Ladder Company No. 1 celebrated
the thirty-eighth anniversary of the
Company at their hall last evening in
their usual hearty and enthusiastic style.
The 20th of this month was the date of
the anniversary, but the celebration was
postponed, on account of the Light
Infantry excursion given on that date.
The opening address last night was
made by Mr. W. H. Northrop, Jr.. in a
very pleasant and appropriate speech.
Mr. N. N. Davis then delivered an
address of welcome to the guests as
sembled, after which letters were read
from Mayor Ricaud and Chief Newman,
expressing regret at their inability to
attend the festivities.
Toasts were then given and responded
to, by Mr. Lord, President of the Com
pany. Mr, N. N. Davis. Vice Presi
dent; Mr. W. H. Northrop, Jr., As
sistant Foreman, and others.
After the oratorical . part of the pro
gramme was concluded the guests and
members of the Company partook of an
excellent supper, served by Messrs.
Hinton Bros., of the Purcell, and spent
some time in social converse. The oc
casion was one that will long be remem
bered by the members of the Company
and their friends.

THE LATE DISTURBANCE.
A Colored Preacher-Editor Tries to Fix
the Besponsibility on the Whites and
Uses Language of Very Doubtful Pro
priety.
The last issue of the Africo-American
Presbyterian, a weekly newspaper pub
lished here, and edited by Rev. A. J
Sanders, a colored preacher, of the
v Northern Branch of the Presbyterian
Church, has an editorial article on the
recent disturbance in this . city, which
might have "passed muster" for fairness
and moderation but for the words we
have italicized in the annexed article, the
animns of which is too plain to be mis
taken. There is no reference whatever
in the article to the threats made by
negroes to release Huggins from jail,
and it is made to appear that the whites
are solely responsible for the trouble.
. Here is the extract mentioned above:
"That the killing was purely acciden
tal was evident to every intelligent
man, who had taken trouble to learn
the facts and circumstances connected
therewith, and if there was not a dis
position' on the part of certain evil dis
posed white men to seize on any pretext
for shooting Negroes there would have
been no trouble. That there were threats
of violence against Huggins cannot be
successfully denied, and several white
men who made them can be identified.
These threats naturally awakened appre
hension on the part of the colored peo
ple, with whom it is well settled that no
lynching of Negroes here will be per
mitted without a racket."
Here is something else, taken in full
from the same paper, which does not
seem specially valuable as a promoter
of good feeling between the. races:
'The sycophancy of some of our peo
ple is disgusting to the last degree. No
negro is expected to enter any white
church unless he goes to the gallery or
some place set apart for him which
marks him as an- inferior. To this ar
rangement we make no objection, as
any congregation has a right to arrange
sucn. matters as it pleases. But when
this is the fixed custom among the
whites, what intelligent and self
respecting ground for colored peo
ple in their churches carrying their
courtesies to the extreme of not be
ing satisfied until whites who come
are given a front seat. Amid our en
vironments it would seem to accord
more with the fitness of things to have
a place set apart in the gallery or rear
ot tne church tor whites who see fit to
degrade themselves by attending Negro
cnurcnes.
"The above was suggested by an oc
currence which took place in one of our
churches in this city last week, when in
telligent and respectable colored people
were actually ousted from their seats
under a flimsy pretext to make room for
whites. To command the respect of
others colored people will have to learn
to respect themselves more."
THE TAX ORDINANCE.
Amendments Proposed by the Board of
Audit and Finance.
The Board of Audit and Finance met
in special session yesterday at the City
Hall to consider the General Tax ordi
nance as reported by the Board of
Aldermen. There were present Messrs.
R. J. Jones, chairman, Wm. Calder, W.
R. Kenan, J, F. Maunder.
Section 50 (hotels) was amended to
read, houses containing 15 to 25 rooms,
$36 per annum; 25 rooms and upwards,
$75 per annum.
Section 60 (livery stables) was amend
ed, making the tax $12 instead of $9
where six or more horses are kept, and
$6 instead of $4 where a less number is
kept.
Section 75 (newspapers). The Board
refused to concur in the proposed re
duction, and recommended that the tax
remain the same as last year.
Section 94 (telegraph companies) was
amended by striking out one per cent.,
payable monthly and inserting in lieu
thereof, $8 per month.
With the above exceptions, the Tax
Ordinance as adopted by the Board of
Aldermen was approved.
The following resolution was adopted,
viz:
That this Board decline to concur in
the award of contract for boarding and
shoeing mules, and recommend that
new advertisement be made for the ser
vice required.
THE SEABOARD AIR LINE-
Maj. Jno. C. Winder Appears Before the
Bailroad Commission For His System.
The Raleigh News and Observer says
that Thursday morning Maj. Jno. C.
Winder, General Manager of the Sea
board Air Line, appeared before the
Railroad Commission in response to the
invitation which was extended to all the
railroads operating m the State:
The proposed changes of passenger
fares and freight tariff were discussed by
Mai. Winder, who expressed his views
and was given a courteous audience by
the members of the Commission. Ma.
Wilson, chairman of the Commission,
yesterday afternoon stated that the
Commission had a satisfactory and
pleasant conference with Maj. Winder
and that in such points as they differed
he thought that an amicable adjustment
could be made. Maj. Winder was also
seen at his office yesterday afternoon
and stated that he appeared before the
Commission and stated his case and
that "the court took the papers." The
Major did not have anything to say of
what he asked in detail, but we inferred
that his requests or suggestions were of
sueh a nature and extent as can be satis
factorily arranged.
The furniture for the U. S.
Court room in the new public building
has been shipped.

RIVER AND MARINL.
The Southport Leader calls attention
to certain obstructions at and near the
bar of the Cape Fear river. As near as
can be determined at present there are
three obstructions, one lying off Bald
Head Point, aqd two in the channel
near the bar. One is said to be a "drop
ped' anchor, the other two supposed to
be remains of a gunboat sunk during
the war. The U. S. dredge Woodbury,
at work on the bar, caught her drag
chains in one of the obstructions a few
days ago. Engineer Merritt's attention
has been called to these obstructions,
and it is expected that they will be re
moved at an early day.
Charles Reeder & Sons, of Baltimore,
were the successful bidders for a new
boiler for the revenue steamer Colfax.
The Leader has it on good authority
that the pilots of Southport will put a
tug into service next fall, to run in con
nection with the pilot boats.
