A mob attempted to lynch a man in jail at Indianapolis for criminal assault, but the attempt failed. Advices from Brazil are conflicting as to the status of affairs in Kio Grande do Sul - A lively contest- is going on in Washington for the Speakership of the House; ex-Congressman McClammy, of N. C., is a candidate for Postmaster of the House. Another disturbance is reported in the Tennessee mining re gions; the Governor is making arrange ments to return the convicts to the mines under guard of State militia. A gas explosion in London. En?., destroyed three houses and killed a number of persons. N. Y. markets: Money easy at 34 par cent., closing offered at 2 per cent ; cotton easy; middling uplands 8 1-16 cents; middling Orleans 8 7-16 cents; Southern flour moderately active and easy; wheat unsettled, closing lower and moderately active; No. 2 red $1.0t 1.042 in store . and at elevator; corn unsettled, lower and quiet; No. 2, 74 75 cents at elevator and 73 cents afloat; rosm steady and quiet; strained, com mon to good, $1.351.40; spirits tur pentine dull and weak at 34j34j!c. An Indiana girl was -married lasf Sunday and was so well pleased with it that next day she eloped with an other fellow. The Speakership contest is begin ning to warm up in Washington. At present Mills seems to be in the lead, but you can't always tell, until the combining is done. The editor of the Marion Free Lance has got a libel suit on hand, and is as jubilant over itas if some one had presented him with a new suit, four cords of wood and a fat turkey. It is claimed that the cruiser New .York, just built by the Cramps, and to be launched to-day, will be the finest and most effective war ship afloat. There is nothing cramped about her. New York has recently had a big horse show, and now some of the pa pers want a cat show. If the cat hasn't a show in New York, that town is the single and solitary ex ception. The heathen Chinee, although his "smile is childlike and bland," is demonstrating the fact that when he is thoroughly aroused the savage of the forest can't hold a candle to him in barbaric cruelty. A famine prevails m the interior of Mexico and the Government seems to be suffering from a famine of money, and can't help them, and consequently they have struck on the bully idea of helping them out with bull fights. There is a real live Russian Count in Indiana. He has been discovered on a railroad, where he is employed as a fireman. Notwithstanding the fact that his early coal-heaving edu cation was neglected, he manipulates the shovel with great success. Hon. WmYj. O'Dair will be a dis tinguished. individual in the next New York State Assembly, which stands 64 Democrats, 63 Republi cans and one independent, Mr. O'Dair. The other fellows will not dare to tread on his toes much. Emin Pasha has gone and lost himself again somewhere down in Africa. Emin is one of these fel lows who -won't stay found when they do find him, and never "seems to be really happy 'except when be is lost. He has probably struck an other ivory trail. Bermuda will send what she claims to be the biggest, sponge in the world to the Chicago Fair. Chi cago already has some of the biggest sponges in the world. They can absorb forty glasses of beer and two or three free lunches without phas ing their capacity to absorb. . M.Xabouchere says that while he was attached to a foreign court he created several "counts" by issuing passports in which he called the bearers "counts." He has since met sons of these counts who from their stilted dignity looked down on him and never suspected that it was he who had made them. This is the experience of - some 'American editors with some of the " great men they have created. VOL. XLIX.-NO. 60. Kidnapping the children of rich people, for rewards expected for their : return, is becoming such a common -occurrence in the North, that it isn't safe to let them venture out unless under " protection of grown persons. Last Thursday a two-year-old son of a wealthy citi zen of - Kansas City was spirited away, but the next day an - offered reward of $5,000 brought him back. The town of Lewiston, Maine, has some men in it who are remarkably self possessed when everyone else becomes excited. The house of one of them caught fire the other day, when he grabbed an axe and the first thing he,-did was to cut down the only pump near enough to be of service in extinguishing the flames. It is not stated what was the amount of insurance he carried. The town of Buchanan, Mich., has a female .hustler, who," only -36 years old, has been married five times and divorced three times. She was divorced from her first husband, her second husband died, was divorced from her third husband, remarried him, was divorced again, and is now going'to try her luck with her first husband, having just married him again. A St. Louis man is proud of the I fact that he lives on 1.50 a week. If he was really enonomical he might save that igl.50 a week by living on some of his relatives. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

The Board of County Commissioners met in adjourned session yesterday after noon at 2.30 o'clock, in the county court house. All the members of the Board were present and Chairman H. A. Bajjg presided. After the transaction of some routine business it was announced that the Board would go into executive session, and the room was then cleared of all but members of the Board, County Treasurer Hew lett and Mr. Jas. H. Chadbourn, one of the County Treasurer's bondsmen. The secret session continued until about five o'clock, when Treasurer Hew lett and Mr. Chadbourn left the room. Mr. Chadbourn came down the stairway to the sidewalk in a merry humor, and in answer to a question by a Star. re porter, said, as he' got into his buggy laughing and drove off, "They the Commissioners are satisfied that the money is safe." Shortly afterwards one of the Com missioners made his appearance on the street, " and in answer to a request for information said to the . reporter, 'you can say that the Treasurer appeared be fore the Board and convinced them that all demands for money would be comolied with." Death of Frank W. Clark. The sad intelligence was telegraphed here yesterday, that Mr. Frank W. Clark, so recently a citizen ot Wilming ton, died at Norfolk, Va., about mid night, November 30th. He had been in delicate health for some time and was compelled to abandon his official duties several months ago. Mr. Clark was for many years General Freight and Passenger Agent of the Carolina Central Railroad, and so high 1y were his abilities estimated, that he was promoted to the same position on the Seaboard Air Line, the duties of which he discharged with great accepta bility until incapacitated for work by the sickness which "has just culminated in his death. Frank Clark was a most 'genial and operThearted man, loyal to his friends and devoted to his family. In Wilming ton, where he was so well known, he had "troops of friends" who grieve over his untimely death. Mr. Clark was born in Augusta. Ga August 12th, 1844, where the funera services will be held to-morrow. -t The Ladies' Bazaar. , The ladies' bazaar at the Y. M. C. A. rooms, complete in all its departments, was thrown open to the public yester day and last night was thronged with people. The attractions are many and va- bus and visitors to the city will miss one of the leading features - of the Wei come Week'if they fail to visit it. N. C, WEDNESDAY, V. SPORT SUPREME. Fully 2,000 People Throne the- Seaside B. B. Grounds to Witnnss the Baoes nd Return Replete With Enjoyment. ' The attractive , programme of amuse ments drew at least 2,000 people, with small boys not counted, to witness the races, bicycle, sprinting, &c, to the Sea-' side Base Ball Grounds yesterday after noon. And it was an enthusiastic good natured crowd, without a frown or dis cordant syllable to mar the sweet seren ity of the sports and only punctuated by frequent yelis or cheers for a favorite. Indeed, the yells seemed to hang on a hair-trigger, so easily did they fire off. Chairman Glaaves and his secretary, E. W. Moore, were busy and ubiquitous arranging and keeping things in order. The greatest interest centered in th five-mile bicycle race. First prize, gold medal valued at $20; second prize, bicycle lantern valued at $6. first race. Entries C. H. Cooper, Wm. Sheehan and Wm. Keen. The consent of the contestants having been obtainad, the distance was short ened to three instead of five miles, after several laps had been raced. The judges were E. F. Cooper, C. B. Southerland and J. L. Yopp. Mr. South- erland was time-keeper during the en tire races. Mr. Cooper was declared the winner, finishing in 16 minutes and 10 seconds: Mr. Sheehan, second, in 16.153. Mr. Keen was about to fall out at the finish of the second mile, but was per suaded to continue, and pushed close for second place. The winner was re ceived with wild huzzahs. The track was heavy, ploughing all the way for the gallant ciclysts, and for this reason the distance was decreased. The Second Regiment Band assem bled in the centre of the grounds and rendered harmonies so dulcet and seductive that a flock of killdees were drawn right up to the sweet music. SECOND RACE. One quarter mile running race. First prize, gold medal, valued at $10; second prize, silver, valued at $2 50. - Entries E. Willard, E. Piner and John Turrentine, Jr. The iudges were the same as in first race. E. Willard was a close winner. Time 54 seconds. Turrentine second. Time 54. THIRD race. This was a two-mile bicycle race.

Oldham, Jr. The judges were Messrs. Cooper, Southerland and Capps. "Willard and Oldham were easy win ners. Time, 15 seconds. This race caught the small boy from marrow to cuticle. He fairly revelled and rioted in the funny condition of the three-legged sprinters. The - runners went under the line in a succession of kangaroo hops, like unto the locomotion j)f a chicken with both legs tied together. SEVENTH RACE. . .. s " This was an egg and ladle race, 100 yards. Prize, silver cup, valued at $3 50. Each sprinter had a ladle with an egg in it, and the racs was to the runner who first : brought his egg to the goal un spilled. - Entries C. H. Cooper. Frank Tay lor, J. L. Yopp, CD. Jacobs, W. , P.

"Frank Taylor won in 16 seconds. . v - The races were interspersed with f music and the crowd rated it the finest day's fun they ever enjoyed. The blind-fold wheelbarrow race was es pecially full of laughable incidents, such as one barrow pusher running into another and all- tumbling over, and another rushing atjright angles to the goal and scattering the crowd. WILMINGTON'S WELCOME WEEK. The Programme for To-day Boat Baces Grand Marine Parade -Firework, Etc. At a meeting of the Amusement Com mittee held last night, Mr. Berry Gleaves, the chairman of the committee, reportedthat the first day's programme was carried through without a hitch and that he was exceedingly glad to know that more than one-half of the people who were present at the races yesterday were visitors . from the country, which was very gratifying, not only to the commit tee, but to the public generally.

Waddell be invited to present the prizes won at the races from The Orton piazza to-day at 1 1 o'clockr After being put into a motion by the chairman, it was carried unanimously.

It was learned here yesterday that J M.' Benson, Treasurer of Bladen county, had absconded with six thousand dol lars of the county's money. Benson was a prominent and highly respected citi zen ot the county and kept a large Alliance store at Elizabethtown. It was learned that hd was short in-' his accounts some time ago and he - was to appear before the County Commissioners to-day and have his accounts investigated; but he did not appear - when looked for and could not be found. A telegram was at once sent to Mr. G. Smith, of Elizabethtown, who was visiting this city yesterday. that Benson had skipped with six thou sand dollars. Mr. Smith left yesterday at 2 o'clock for home. Two of Benson's bondsmen who were in town Mr. J. H Clarkton, and Mr. D. S. Tatum. of White Oak left on the same boat for Elizabethtown.

McDougald" Acquitted of the Murder A brief telegram was received by the Star from its Fayetteville correspn- dent announcing that D. A. McDougald on trial in that city for., the murder of his uncle, Simeon Conoley, had been acquitted yesterday by the verdict o the jury. , " WHOLE NO. 7.771 A FINE PARADE. The Wilmington Light Infantry, the Po " lice and the Fire . Department Ad mired of Thousands. " Doubting Thomases who croaked out melancholy prophecies of ' failure to draw crowds should have gazed gladly upon the . thousands of spectators, a large proportion of whom were visitors, who followed the procession last night and jammed and packed the sidewalks along its entire length. At 8 p. m. the Wilmington Light In fantry, a platoon of police and the Fire Department formed at Fourth and Nixon streets, in "Brooklyn," and. led by the Second Regiment band, that made the tramp light and pleasant to the boys, with glorious refrains of music paraded down Fourth street to Red Cross, to Front, , down Front to Nun and up Nun to Third, up Third to Mar ket and down Market to the " concert stand. The engine and hose reels were gaily decorated with Chinese lanterns and torches, while red lights were carried by the laddies. The military followed the city's "finest," who were stalwart and handsome. Then came the en gines and the trucks and the hose reels. A large square illuminated transpar ency was carried by two men in the firemen's part of the parade with this egend on one side : ' When fire is cried and danger is nieh. God and the firemen is the people's cry. When it is quenched and all is righted. God is forgotten and the firemen slighted." On another was "Wilmington's Vol unteer Fire Department"; on another. Always Willing; Always Ready." " This was regarded by the managers of the ; Welcome Week as the least attractive of all the parades on account of the necessarily limited numbers in it, but the result showed that, as an enjoyable feature, it was a monumental success. Many were heard to observe, that, if this parade was so attractive, how much more would the grand trades procession be! Many of the houses along the route were illuminated, and "our country cousins" formed a very favorable im pression of this "City by the Sea." Only one accident occurred. Mr. Mason of one of the book and ladder companies, had his leg pretty badly hurt by a ladder slipping off the truck and catching it between the rounds. He was game, however, and stuck to his post. Let it be recorded that the first pa rade at the end of the first day's list of entertainments was a colossal success. - BROOKLYN PATRIOTISM. The most notable of the illuminated and decorated houses on Fourth street, 'Brooklyn," during the parade last night, were Polvogt & Rehder's, who also had a creditable show of fireworks, J. G. Dardcn, G D: Morton, Mrs. C, L. Spencer, W. H. Strauss, H. G. Small bones, J. H. Boesch and A. W. Watson. DECORATIONS.

"- THE FIRST DAY. ; , ; ''J Botmdeth TJp With Success Scored All Orer and Through It. - " s At 9 o'clock, sharp, yesterday morn ing, had a stranger, . ignorant of the : cause, dropped suddenly into this city, he would have thought something had -"broke loose in Georgia,", or pandemo-: nium had got away hya its custodians and was riotingxampant in the1 land. All the bells, steam whistles, hugags;-tom-tomsand wild and ; ear piercing -bazoos just broke forth all at once in " one continuous, screeching, blasting forty horse power tom-cat melody as sort of linked agony, long drawn out' ' But it ushered in the natal hour of Wil mington's Welcome Week. . Many visitors had come in the night before and the morningtrains poured ; ' their floods of people into the city ": awaiting with welcome arms to receive -them. Strangers were met at evry turn and were kindly greeted by the -1 citizens. The city wore the appearance of a Fourth of July on a lull grown stalwart scale. : They dispersed in various ' directions . taking in the sights from tie shipping " in the-harbor and the giant cotton" compresses to the showy store win dows, and many were trading. In the afternoon the races called a goodly -crowd to the suburbs, while others re- :'i mained and heard Prof. Miller's band ";; give a delightful concert from the bal- ' cony over Miller & Haar's music store, on Market-street. The fire engines and ' hook and ladder companies made a dis-.: play that proved a great attraction. The crowd for the first day exceeded all expectation. - . Weather Forecasts. The following are the forecasts for to-day : . For North Carolina , South Carolina and Georgia, warmer, fair on Wednes-; day and Thursday, wind shifting to southerly. . For East Florida, showers in south east, fair in northwest portion, east winds, warmer except in southeast por tion, stationary temperature. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Boy Wanted.
