" Two parties of vigilante near Danning Neb., met in the dark and mistook each other for thieves; in the fight that en sued two men were killed. Exports of specie from New York for the week amount to $7,060,280. In the South ern General Assembly of the Presby terian Church, yesterday, overtures were received from different Presbyterians and other bodies. Secretary Blaine's health continues to improve.

If some other young man than Gen. Raum's son had helped himself to $72 out of a Government safe, would he have been granted a leave of absence or locked up as a thief? Kentucky got rid of two first-class fiends the other day when the life was shot out of the Wilcox brothers. It would have been a bad thing for that State to have that breed of devils propagated. In a Kansas town a clergyman preached last Sunday on "Beauties of the Ideal Home Life," and then proved that he was in downright earnest by eloping with a married merdber ot his flock. Queen Natalie, who a few days ago was banished from Servia, was the daughter of a Russian father and Roumanian mother. There was just Russian enough in her to keep her scheming in the interests of Russia, which caused a racket in the royal family, her divorce from her hus band, King Milan, who afterwards abdicated, and her banishment, which was part of the agreement made with Milan when he abdicated in favor of his son, Alexander, a minor. During his recent visit to Bonn Kaiser William got on a bender with the boys, and concluded he would play a practical joke on the guard at the barracks, by passing without giving the countersign. He was dressed in student's costume,and the guard who didn't know him was about to pull trigger on him, when his attendants called-out his rank in the nick of time and saved him. He got mad, ordered the guard under arrest, and afte-wards released him. But the guard demanded a hearing which brought out the facts. In the election for the call of a constitutional convention in Dela ware the other day there were 17,000 votes, for it and 119 against it, and yet the call may be defeated because it requires a majority of the qual ified voters of the State, not simply a majority of the votes cast, to call a convention. A similar of provision in the old constitution of Kentucky several times defeated the effort to call a convention in that State. In the last effort, however, the advo cates of the convention succeeded in getting people enough to the polls to carry it. Hiram J. Maxim, the gun inven tor, whose guns have been adopted by nearly all the European -governments says he has solved the question of aerial navigation. He has had skilled mechanics employed for two years in his shop near Kent, in Eng land, on his experiments. The re sult is the construction of a motor weighing 1800 pounds which will, he says, lift 40,000 pounds. His engin es, generators, petroleum and the two men employed weigh all together but 5,000 pounds. He uses steam as the motive power with light steel boilers, condensing the steam so that a tew gallons of water answer the purpose. As Mr. Maxim has the reputation of being a levelhead ed, practical man some attention is paid to his statement. 3 VOL. XLVIII.---NO. 54, Mr. H. Penn, of Baltimore, draws his pen in defence of the much reviled English sparrow, who, he tells the Sun, is "the ill-paid scaven ger of" the cities." He studied the performances of two pairs of spar rows which he! noticed feeding their young on the larvae of blue-bottle flies deposited in a dead cat. They made 104 trips to the d. c, besides which one of the sparrows caught fourteen b. b's. on the fly. He fig ures up that these two pairs of maligned sparrows attending to business, got away in the capture of tnose tourteen flies with 280,000, 000 flies, as one healthy, ordinarily industrious fly will turn out about 21,000,000 little flies in' one season, and by catching the 104 larvsa they swallowed a prospective colony of 2,800,000,000 more Hereafter when you pick up a brick to shy it at the sparrow think of fly time. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat, Hep., remarks that with a son like Russell, who writes things that he shouldn't write, the President can sympathize with Commissioner Raum who has a son who does things he shouldn't do. The sons seem to cut quite a conspicuous figure in this ad ministration. The Internal Revenue Depart ment estimates the whiskey crop for this year at 120,000,000 gallons, which does not allow for the pro duct of the town pump and the adulterator's laboratory.

Of the Diooese of East Carolina Reports and Resolutions Closing Exercises Pinal Adjournment. Special Star Refiort Newbern, May 22. It was very ap parent at the morning session that an adjournment sine die was in the near future. - Soon after morning prayer Bishop Watson called the members to order. Reports of committees and resolutions took up most of the session. Rev. Dr. Huske submittee report and resolutions in memoriam of Rev. Israel Harding. So touching and eloquent were his remarks on the life and services of the dead prelate that he was request ed by the Council to furnish a copy of them to the Secretary, to be placed with the resolutions on the pages of the jour nal. . Rev. N. Collin Hughes, Jr., reported resolutions on the death of Rev. Robt. Bowen Windley. Rev. N. Harding seconded them, in a few remarks highly eulogizing his 'many good qualities and uerea 10 oe spreau upon me journal and both were adopted by a rising vote. The Committee on the state of the Church made a report, as did J. B. Bon ner, special agent for the raising of funds for the Diocesan College. Mr. Bonner reports progress, and was continued. He has set the wholesome example of giving one thousand dollars himself. Dr. A. J. DeRosset was elected treas urer of the Council and Hon. H. R. Bryan, chancellor. Col. Jno. W. Atkin son introduced the following, which was passed: "Resolved, That the thanks of this council are due and are hereby grate fully tendered to the rector, wardens, vestry and congregation of Christ Church, Newbern, for their thoughtful and kindly consideration for the com fort and convenience of the Council while in session; also, to the citizens generally for the unbounded hospitality which has been accorded to the mem bers of the Council during our sojourn among them.

The Gloria in Excelsis was sung, the benediction pronounced by the Bishop, and the Council stood adjourned sine die. A. NEW RAILROAD. The Norfolk, Wilmington and Charleston Railroad Will it be BuiltP A citizen of Wilmington who is en tirely disinterested, recently had a long conversation with Mr. A. S. Cadwalader, who was here last week in the interest of the Norfolk, Wilmington and Char leston Railroad. Mr. Cadwalader, who represents a syndicate of capitalists, and is a man of large means himself, ac companied by two of the engineer corps and the attorney, was sent to Norfolk to travel through the country which would be trayersed by the proposed railroad, between Norfolk and Wilming ton. This was done by private convey ance, so as to give ample time for mak ing observations, as the character of the report to be made would determine the question of building the road. Mr. Cadwalader says he started with unfavorable impressions of the section through which it was proposed to run the road, regarding it as unsuited to successful farming; but he was most agreeably surprised. Instead of a com paratively poor and unproductive coun try, as he expected, he found lands of great fertility, forests of magnificent timber, and a population intelligent, thrifty and industrious. Mr. Cadwalader and party started back from Wilmington to Norfolk by the same conveyances, but by a dif ferent route, and on his return to Penn sylvania, he will make a full and com prehensive report, showing the advan tages of the section which the road will penetrate, and recommending that the work of construction be begun imme diately. The road will probably con nect with the Wilmington, Onslow and East Carolina at Jacksonville, but the exact direction beyond there has not yet been determined, it will run near the coast between Wilmington and Charleston. The Seamen's Bethel. The regular Sunday services at the Seamen's Bethel will be held at 3:30 p. m. to-day, and will be conducted by Rev. W. S. Creasy, D.D., pastor of Grace M. E. Church of this city.- All are cordially invited to attend, especi ally seamen, Masters of vessels are re quested to have this notice read to their crews, and urge their attendance upon these meetings. Knights of Honor. Marsden Bellamy, Esq., returned yes terday from New Orleans, where he has been in attendance on the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Honor. Mr. Bellamy reports the order in a healthy condition, both as to a good increase, and financi ally. Mr. Bellamy was elected Supreme Vice Dictator, the second highest honor In the order. NO THE PARK AGAIN. A Thrice Told Tale, but the "Star" Pro poses to Keep Up the Fight if it '-Takes All Summer." The opening of Latta Park in Char lotte on the 20th of May, and the con sequent enthusiasm which has been ex cited in that city over the advantages to accrue to it from this movement, forci bly reminds us how slow our people and our public officials are to act in pro viding for Wilmington that much needed place of resort. : Will our people never awaken to the importance of a park' as a health giving recreating necessity? Will they not learn from the example set by more pro gressive, yet less pretentious towns? We have at our doors several loca tions well adapted as sites which can be procured for reasonable prices. Hilton suggests itself with its beauti ful grove of live oaks. The Mineral Spring tract, near the turnpike, affords attractions. A tract between the southern boundary of the city and Greenfield pond . presents one of the most attrac tive locations in this vicinity. There are from fifty to one hundred acres of land, undulating, with a natural lake for boating, with trees standing in the water, festooned with moss, presenting a tiopical scene as picturesque as any that Florida affords. New why do not our city authorities appropriate a few thousand dollars and secure at once one or more of the above locations, or some other suitable one, and proceed immediately to improve it. The city convicts and carts could be used to advantage at all times, and then our people would have a lesort in which they could take pride, instead of pro faning that most solemn, sacred and beautiful city of the dead, Oakdale, by converting it into a place of merriment and joy. RAILWAY CONDUCTORS Cape Fear Division No. 271 of the Or derIts Officers. Etc. " Cape Fear Division No. 271, of the Order of Railway Conductors, at a meeting held last week initiated nine new members. This Order is now in a most flourish ing condition. They hold their meet ings semi-monthly in the Knights of Pythias hall. The organization has forty-five active members, consisting of conductors from the Wilmington & Wel don, Wilmington, Columbia & Augusta, Carolina Central and Cape Fear & Yad kin Valley railroads. The officers are as follows: John M. Walker, Chief Con ductor; D. L. Filyaw, Assistant Chief Conductor; W. D. Harlow, Senior Con ductor; J. M. Home, Junior Conductor; J. T. Alderman, Secretary and Treas urer; J. S. Hartsell, Inside Sentinel; Thad Mallard, Outside Sentinel. FIREMEN ON DECK. Exhibition Test of a New Hose Attach ment Monday Evening. An interesting exhibition to insur ance men and others will take place to-morrow afternoon at 6 o'clock at Market street dock, when the firemen will make a test of a new and novel ar rangement by which two or three streams from as many engines can be thrown into a single line of hose and discharged from one noizle. It is called the "Deluge set," and is intended for use where it is necessary to flood a building. The discharge hose is inches in diameter and the nozzle 2 inches. The test will be made by the Atlantic and Cape Fear engines, and the Mayor, the Fire Committee and all persons in terested are invited to witness it. I. O. O. F. Orphan Home. Attention is called to the article on page second of the Star, in reference to the location of the Odd Fellows' Or phan Home. The place that wins this prize must offer inducements; and as it would be a most desirable acquisition to Wilmington, her people should go to work and see what can be done to se cure it. Mr. Oscar Pearsall, it is under stood, has offered to give the Odd Fel lows a site embracing forty acres ot land on Greenville Sound. Other in ducements will no doubt be offered by the citizens ot Wilmington. Arrest of Ringleaders of the Rioters. The grand jury last week investiga ted the riotous proceedings Saturday night, the 16th inst., near the county iail, and returned true bills against three of the ringleaders of the mob Wm. Mallett, Alex Mallett and John Fisher all colored men who have since been arrested on the charge of in citing a riot and will be tried in the Criminal Court this week. William and Alex Mallett gave bail for their appear ance, but Fisher was committed to jail Fifth Street M. E. Church. The handsome organ for the Fifth Street M. E. Church will be in position in the building by Friday next, and as soon as it is in thorough tune an organ concert will be given, free of charge. Sunday School exercises - will then be commenced and will continue several days. There will be addresses from men prominent in the church, and recita tions, etc,, by the classes. The music will be of a very high order. TAR WHOLE NO. 7,659 CITY ORDINANCES Relating to Fast Driving, Etc. How to Turn Corners Hitching Horses to Trees or Lamp-pouta Prohibited Driv ing on Sidewalks or Stopping at Street Crossings. For the benefit of the public gener ally, the Star publishes below the ordinance in relation to fast driving, amended at a recent meeting of the Board of Aldermen, so as to prohibit all vehicles being driven around corners at a gait faster than a walk. On the adop tion of the amendment, Mayor Ricaud stated that the new clause in the ordin ance would not be enlorced until this woek. The ordinance in question now reads as follows: Sec. 11. Every person who shall ride on horseback or drive any omnibus, carriage, buggy or pleasure vehicle of any kind at a gait faster than an ordi nary trot, or who shall drive any wagon, cart or dray, faster than a walk, except when such wagon, cart or dray may be unloaded then it may be driven no faster than a trot in any street or alley, or any person driving any vehicle who shall turn a corner in any street faster than a walk, shall forfeit and pay ten dollars for every, offence. Other ordinances in relation to driv ing and riding in the city, not generally known by the public, are as follows: Sec. 6. No person shall hitch or tie any horse or mule to any shade tree or lamp-post in any street; nor shall any person hitch or tie, ride or drive, any horse or mule upon any sidewalk. All persons violating this provision shall forfeit and pay ten dollars for every offence. Sec, 8. Every person driving any car riage, buggy, wagon, cart, dray, or other vehicle, who shall stop the same on any of the crossings of the streets so as to obstruct it, shall forfeit and pay five dol lars for every offence. BAPTIST MISSION CHAPEL. An Institution That has Accomplished Much Good in the Community. The Mission Chapel of the First Bap tist Church, organized about six years ago, has done a good work in this com munity. It is situated in the southern part of the city on Fifth, between Daw son and Wooster streets, and two years ago it was found necessary to remodel and enlarge the building to twice its original capacity. Mr. W, A. French, Dr. A. M. Baldwin, Mr. J. W. Collins, Mr. S. W. Holden and Mr. J. W, Lowe were active in its establishment. With this chapel there is an industrial school for the benefit of the girls, who learn to sew and to do other handiwork. They also have a widow's home where the old and infirm widows of the de nomination are taken care of. The In ternational lessons are taught and the Gospel Hymns used as their song book. Mr. John S. McEachern, up to the time of his death, was a very zealous supporter of this branch, which at that time was the only Mission Chapel in that part of the city. The officers in charge now are as follows: P. B. Manning, Superintendent; W. A. French, Assistant Superintendent; R, B. Moore, Secretary and Treasurer; Miss Maggie Burruss, Organist. Services are held every Tuesday night, which are conducted by Rev. Mr. Swaim. BY RIVER AND RAIL. Receipts of Naval Stores and Cotton Yesterday. Wilmington, Columbia & Augusta R.
