Smooth the Tangled Threads into a Perfect Wreath of Pleas ure. "The Executive Committee met last night, with Major T. D. , Love in the chair and Mr. G. ,G. Lewis Secretary. Mr. Post, for the Parade Committee, announced that sixty-one floats would be in the trades parade; that it would be led by the. CommercialjTravellers' As sociation, followed by the float "with thirteen ladies" representing the thir teen original States, in ' behalf of Wilmington, each - wearing suitable drapery and holding a flag bearing the coat of arms of one of the States!; Forty carpenters of the A. C. L. company shops and seventy machinists would march with their own banners. The parade will be a mile long. The military and firemen's parade to-night will be led by Capt. Kenan of the W. L. I., who is also chief marshal. He stated that "the torches had arrived, but some of the goods had not, but , he was tracing them by wire, . ';' -- . '';"us";r:' ' Messrs. Taylor and Gleaves made some enquiries about the height of floats and the various wires crossing the streets on the line of parade. - . Mr. Post stated that the companies owning the wires would be requested to raise them at least thirty-five feet above "the pavement,' and owners of floats would be notified not to have them over twenty-five feet high. On motion of Mr. Ricaud it was or dered that the arch at Front and Princess streets be removed early Thurs day evening for the floats to pass, as it is only 21 feet above the street. Mr. Fishblate requested the repre sentatives or the press to ask house holders along the line of march to decorate and illuminate for the parade night.

About 4 o'clock in the afternoon the police officer saw two men standing closely together on Fourth street, near Castle, and soon after his atten tion was attracted towards them. saw one of the men sever the the watch chain of the other man and abstract his watch. . The police efheer promptly arrested the pickpocket, and after a struggle carried him to the guard house in the Gity Hall. When searched the watch was found in his pocket. The man admitted the theft and gave his name as Ed Shepherd, a former rest dent of this city. The man whoseH watch was stolen gave his name as G. E - Garrison." .. ' ' The Suspended Bank. Everything is moving on so regularly and smoothly since the failure of the First National Bank last Tuesday, that the perturbing event now seems like ancient history. Men have taken coun sel with themselves on the wisdom Of the Star's advice and ugly rumors are no more heard in the towrr, and the old stock subject of bad crops has come to the top, and is doing business at the same old stand. It is even "lacking in bulk" to give the bank failure as ah ex cuse for not paythg debts. . It ' is a fact, however, that the county funds were withdrawn from the. First National Bank .before 7 its suspension, that they are now heldby responsible per sons, and that the whole business will be 1 adjusted in a few days. .It is also true that .the cash account and , books of the Cashier and other officers are all straight. Two Small Houses Burned. An alarm of fire was sent in from box No. 16 at 8 p. m.-and, when the Fire De partment got its engines on the spot the fire was discovered, in - two pne-story wooden dwellings on Cowan, between Second and Third .streets.

FORTUNATE WILMINGTON. Other .Localities in North Carolina Cov- , ered With Snow. The co'dest snap of the season visited the city Sunday morning, and about tour o clock in the afternoon, by close observers, a few scant and diminutive flakes of snow could be diserned in the air, but apparently none reached mother earth and only for a few minutes could any be detected at all. . Our up-country friends, however, did not - escape so - easily. In Tar boro the snow was four and a half . , inches at .4 p. m.; at Rocky Mount it was four inches at 4 p. m.; at Battleboro six inches at the same hour, and at Weldon seven inches. Snow fell at all stations along the Wil mington & Weldon Railroad in varying depths down to Warsaw, which is 55 mildS north of this city. On the W., C. & A. road snow fell but at once melted on account of the rain which had wet the earth. The good old Gulf Stream always stands Wilmington in good stead, tem pering the ? cold inclemencies of the weather that beaso "vigorously on less fortunate localities. " " Yesterday it was clear as a bell, with the genial rays of the sun moderating the temperature of the day before, and just cold enough to be bracing to the pedestrian. APPOINTMENTS. Made by the N.
