VISITING MILITARY.
ARRIVAL AND DECEPTION OF THE
FAYETTEVILLE INDEPENDENT
LIGHT INFANTRY.
A
Gala Occasion The Streets Thronged
with. Spectators Parade Supper at
The Orton Op en -Air Concerts. . .
The arrival of the Fayetteville Inde
pendent Light Infantry yesterday after
noon on their way to Carolina Beach,
was a gala occasion for Wilmington.
The whole town turned out to erect
them, and their reception was some
thing of an ovation.
The Wilmington Light Infantry, the
Second Regiment Band, the veteran
members of the F. I. L. I. resident in
Wilmington, and ,a large number of citi
zens were at the depot of the C. F. & Y.
V. R. R., to meet the visiting military,
and the streets along the line of march
thence to The Orton were lined with
ladies and others j who waited ex
pectantly and patiently to see the pa
rade. The citizens' reception committee was
also on hand,' and at their invitation the
companies stacked i arms on Water
street after moving out of the depot,
and assembled, in a building in the
neigborhood, where refreshments were
served and an informal reunion and
hand-shaking took place, lasting about
half an hour.
The companies then formed in line
and marched up Mulberry street to
Third, lrom Third to Market, down
Market to Front and up Front to The
Orton, the bands playing and crowds
cheering.
BAND CONCERT.
The Fayetteville band, in their hand
some uniform, made a magnificent dis
play, and shortly after the arrival of the
military at The Orton gave a concert
from the plaza in front of the postoffice
opposite The Orton, rendering the fol
lowing selections:
1. "Gladiator," march.
2. Serenade.
3. Schottische. "Dream of Beauty."
4. Phantasie on "Auld Lang Syne."
5. "The National Fencibles."
6. "Dixie."
THE BANQUET.
At 9.15 the doors of the spacious din
ing-room of "The Orton" were thrown
open. Three tables extending the entire
length of the room were soon filled by
the citizens and the members of the two
military organizations and the Fayette
ville and Second Regiment bands. The
banquet was served in the style that has
made The Orton famous: the tables lit
erally groaning under their weight of
delicacies, that pleased the eye by their
artistic arrangement and tickled the pal
ate by the delicious manner in which they
were prepared. That capable and pleas
ing Master of Ceremonies Col. F. W.
Kerchner, presided. . Blessing was ask
ed by the Rev. Robert Strange; after
which the guests attacked the viands
after the manner of travellers at a rail
road restaurant, where the rule is "20
minutes' for supper." Col. Kerchner,
anxious that none should have dys
pepsia or a nightmare, reminded the
guests that they bad two nours in
which to refresh the inner mon; a sally
appreciated with laughter. ' At the con
elusion of the supper, Col. Kerchner in
his usual terse and happy way, intro
duced Maj. T. D. Love, who had
been selected to deliver the address of
welcome. Maj. Love said, in substance:
It is with no ordinary emotions of plea
sure and nride that we welcome you in
our midst. Once more you have march'
ed to the same drum beat with your old
friend and ally the Wilmington Light
Infantry, cementing still more closely
the ties which have so long bound you
together. Your hearts and your drums
still beat in unison, and we hail
with delight your visit to our city,
Approaching your centennial anniver
sary, your career of glory is still upward
and onward. There is no stain on your
escutcheon. Your hospitable city
grand old Fayetteville from an interior
town has become our commercial rival,
and our ' affection is not lessened
but augmented thereby. In the happy
long ago, when your fathers lived,
the old time pole-boat propelled by
muscular power transported the com
modities of the season. Then you
adopted horse-power, rigged on the
bow of a lighter, and then you applied
steam to stir the waters of the historic
Cape Fear. Now, the steel rail and the
electric wire unites us.
With us, you are in the house of your
friends. We want vou to feel as did
Rob Roy, when accosted as Mr. Camp
bell, and said, "Call me not Mister nor
Campbell, my foot is on my native heath
and my name is McGregor."
Passing our portals you will soon en
joy the sea breeze at the Beach. It will
cool your heated brow and refresh your
languid frame. Take kindly to the salt
water and the festive crab. . They will
do. you good, so that 4when you return
it will be with renewed vigor, and more
elastic step.
Mr. J. H. Myrover, whose reputation
as an orator is well established in this
section as wclf as elsewhere, replied to
Maj. Love's address of welcome. In his
peculiarly haoDv style he delivered an
address that was a gem in every respect,
The many flashes of wit were heartily
laughed at; the sentiment applauded;
and when the distinguished gentleman
took his seat there were calls for more.
In response, to calls Capt. Kenan,
Maj.' Broadfoot and Maj. W. F. Camp
bell addressed the guests. Maj. Camp
bell's emarks were heartily applauded
in their reference to the ties between
the two sections of the Cape Fear Com
pany and his compliments to Wilming
ton and its citizens' hospitality.
After the banquet the 'Second Regi
ment Band played a number of their
choicest selections in front of The Orton,
-and soon after the Companies were call
ed to attention and marched to the foot
of Market street where the visitors
embarked on the steamer Wilmington
for Carolina Beach, followed by the
cheers of their escort and ' the crowd
that accompanied them to the river
front.

pany and its band,' and the veterans ac

BALLOON ASCENSION.
Big Sensation at Carolina Beach A
Darkey's Involuntary Plight Heaven
ward. The crowd of people that assembled
at Carolina Beach yesterday to witness
the balloon ascension and parachute
drop by Prof. Jewell were treated to a
surprise a sensation that was startling
n the extreme.
Cass Hill and Charley Williams the
former black and the latter brown were
employed by Prof. Jewell, the aeronaut,
to stand inside the balloon during the
process of inflation and throw water on
the stray sparks that might lodge
against the walls of- the balloon. Cass
was cautious, and warned Williams to
keep his weather-eye open while the
balloon was filling. The process
consumed about twelve minutes,
and at last Professor Jewell cast off
the stay-rope, and called to Cass to
cover the furnace, and then startled the
audience with the accustomed formula.
"Well, good bye, ladies and gentlemen.
Let go all!". Everybody looked to see
the Professor jerked into the air in his
parachute, but instead, saw the para
chute tear loose from the balloon and a
helpless tender-foot tangled .in the ropes
leading from the balloon to the para
chute. Before a man could count ten
the wretched man was swinging in the
upper deep. Professor Jewell called
out, "Hold on fast and be of good cheer
and you will come down all right." "I'll
do it," came back in faint tones, and
away went the victim. Ladies screamed
and some prayed for his safety. Every
body expected that he would faint and
fall headlong, and all hoped that the
balloon would soon descend. But high
er and higher it sped, until Charley Wil
liams dangling in the rope looked
like a knot in a shoestring. From where
he was he might see Fort Fisher and
Camp Wyatt, and Lugar Loaf.
At last, when hope had almost died
away, the balloon .was seen to turn
downward.and now a new danger threat
ened the man who had clung so desper
ately to the ropes, for the balloon came
very near upsetting and enveloping him;
but it righted and continued to descend
with ever increasing speed. Surely,
thought the people, even if he holds on
he will be dashed to death by the rapid.
descent, and a great crowd ran west
wardly to witness the final catastrophe.
Williams, however disengaged himself
from the ropes when the balloon was a
short distance from the ground and es
caped unhurt. He was in a profuse
perspiration, though the day was cool,
and did not know whether he was a
Blaine Republican ora Tammany heeler.
The first words he uttered when assured
of his safety were: "I ought to have the
money, 'case I'm the one that went up."
Scores of hands were stretched out to
him and a moderate shower of nickels,
dimes, quarters and. halves made him
glad.
Every day brings some new develop
ment in the balloon ascension business.
First, the balloon went up alone; next,
Prof. Jewell was cast into the sea; and
now, colored citizen Williams makes an
involuntary ascension. What will this
afternoon bring forth?
Death of Capt. Chinnis.
Died, yesterday, at his home near
Phenix, Capt. Samuel R. Chinnis, aged
62 years. He had been sick for several
weeks, and his death was the result of
an attack of malarial fever.
Capt. Chinnis was a man of excellent
character, and was for many years one
of the most prominent and influential
citizens of Brunswick county, He was
a captain in the 61st N. C Regiment,
and ranked with the bravest and best,
being held in high esteem both by his
superior .officers and the men under his
command. For several years preceding
his death he was superintendent of the
Orton plantation, owned by Col. K. M.
Murchison, who placed a high estimate
on his service.
Faithful to every trust in peace and
war: icindheartea ana generous to a
fault; devoted and affectionate as hus
band and father; he passes away univer
sally lamented by those who knew him
May he rest in peace.
Storm Warning.

signal was displayed at the Weather
Bureau Station yesterday morning. A

moving westward. The observer here

port oromotlv any. indications of the
