The fact that the shoqter was acquitted, shows that out in Arizona the people believe that beer glasses were made for another purpose than to be mashed on men's faces, and that they are not an or thodox weapon, offensive, anyway. Wm. Webb, a son of a Hunting ton, West ya., doctor, got tired of this cold, rough-and-tumble world, and concluded to leave it. To save his friends as much trouble as he could in arranging for the pall bearers he selected a list, and then took a big dose of poison. But the funeral was prevented by the old gentleman with timely application of a stomach pump. Between the s. p. and the racket he raised it knocked the romance of the business into pi. S Kaiser William has got to smoking lonj stemmed clay pipes. He Jhas not yet learned the inherent virtues of the corncob pipe. He should write to Uncle Jerry Rusk, who smokes no other kind. S- iat:r Carlisle is very methodical in his ways. It is said that he makes a list of the applicants for office from his Staie in. a book which he keeps for that purpose, and writes along with it theoffices which they want. As the Democrats of Kentucky are very modest; and haven't had much chance to learn the art of reaching out for Federal offices, the presump tion is that Senator Carlisle can carry this book in his vest pocket. LOCAL DOTS. Items of Interest Gathered Here and There and Briefly Noted. The magistrates meet to-day at 10 a.m. in the 'county court house. " Lula Carpenter, charged with disorderly conduct, was fined $5.00 and cost, in the Mayor's court yesterday. The cold wave sent the mercury down 28 degrees. The minimum re corded at the Weather Bureau station was 32 ' - The attendance at the matinee yesterday afternoon was small, but those whowere present said the performance was excellent. Trains on the W. O. & E. C. R. R., leaving Wilmington at 9 o'clock in the morning and returning at 6:20 p.m , will not be run on Monday, -26th inst. Messrs. Paterson, Downing & Co., cleared the German brig Clara yesterday for Swansea, Eng., with cargo of 3.485 barrels of rosin valued at $4. 090 85. Mrs. Ella McLean Tippett, of Halletsville, Texas, writes Postmaster French asking information of her uncle, Van McLean, who she says lived in Wil mington some time ago. Citizens complain of the bad condition of Red Cross street. The city authorities have made a good roadway on the latter street to Red Cross, and this street now is geuerally used as the drive-wav to Oakdale cemetery. 1- Col. Ingersoll says the genius for making money is as distinct as the genius for music or painting. That's our opinion. We've tried it. As be tween painting a rooster and making a hatful of money it would be'a draw. The artist who runs the guillotine business' in France scored his 219th Vicum the other day. He doesn't put on any more frills over cutting off a .fellow's head than a French cook would in topping off the head of a chicken. A man came back to- a Missouri town a couple weeks ago, after hav ing been thought dead for years. He found his wife married again, but in stead of taking it as a matter of course it filled him full of rage and then he proceeded to fill husband number two with big buckshot. He theu went to jail to think the whole business over. ,THE WEATHER U. S. Dep't of Agriculture, Weather Bureau. Wilmington. N.

' In regard to the "garnishee" case, re ferred to in the Star of yesterday, we give the following statement of Messrs. Alex. Sprunt & Son, who fear their posi tion may be misunderstood without ex planation: - The item in the Star with reference to a test case of the right of the city to garni shee laborers' wages was not intended to reflect upon Messrs. Alex. Sprunt & Son, who are the defendants. They have no desire to test the question nor to ob struct nor impede the collection of taxes from their employes; but they do object to the difficult and disagreeable task im posed upon them by the City Treasurer, who has sent them no less than fifty-one garnishee papers against the wages of a floating and irresponsible class ot labor ers, who may or may not be in their em ploy. The execution of these papers is very onerous and distasteful to them and creates much confusion and dissatisfac tion, causing the loss of good men, who j go elsewhere for employment rather than submit to what they have been told by a prominent lawyer is illegal taxation. In the case of the State and county taxes Messrs. Alex. Sprunt & Son were also garnisheed against a large number of men, and when the hour for payment ar rived they notified the Sheriff, who sent down and collected the taxes as the men were paid off. The same arrangement was proposed to the tity 1 reasurer, but was refused. Suit Against the Western Union for $5,000. The Raleigh News, and Observer says that Mr. Z. Vance Walser, now in that city, is of the opinion that he is entitled to $5,000 from the Western Union Tele graph Company, and has brought suit to recover that amount. The case is rather interesting and. the facts are about as follows : After the failure of the First National Bank of Wilmington, Mr. Walser was regarded as an applicant for the receivership; but this position was secured by Mr. W. S. O'B. Robinson. It seems that Comptroller Lacy had intimate personal relations with Mr. Walser, and was disposed to appoint him; and on the day that Mr. Robinson was appointed Mr. Lacy sent Walser a telegram asking if he would accept if appointed. Mr. Walser says this tele gram was not delivered, and that, in consequence, Robinson was appointed; that it the telegram had been delivered he would have accepted the appoint ment. The salary of the receiver is $200 per month, and it is supposed that it will require two and a half years to wind up the business; so that Mr. Walser is of the opinion that he is out the sum of, $5,000.

Wrap & Jackets 'V f :' It is remarkable with what una nimity the Republican papers now declare the "trusts" must go. They never discovered that there was any thing wrong about trusts until the De nocratic party bad walloped the party that built them up. There are in the Government ser vice in Washington 2,394 negroes, who draw in pay annually an aggre gate of about $2,000,000. They are not protected by the civil service rules, and therefore expect to be ruled out in the new deal. There has been a general outcry in iNonnern cities against eicuuu; wires in the streets, but it has been discovered that the corrosion of water and gas pipes is hastened by the escape of electrical force, and how the question" is how to prevent this. In election matters you are never sure until the counting: is all done. The Republicans in the Fifth Michi gan district felt sure they had elect ed their man, but a recount of the votes elects Geo. F Richardson, his j Democratic competitor, by an even dozen votes. Mi -AT ADVERTISEMENT B. G. Worth Cow strayed. Jas. D Nutt 471f cologne. City Treasurer Taxes 1893.

The following decisions by the State Railroad Commission have been handed down, viz: Carolina Roller Mill vs. Wilmington & Weldon Railway Company, discrimi nation against Fayetteville in freight shipments to points in South Carolina; it appearing that letter ot explanation by defendant is satisfactory to complainant, the case is dismissed. Dickinson & Co. vs. Atlantic & North Carolina Railway Company, complaint against a proposed rate by Atlantic & North Carolina Kail way company on clams to Northern markets; it appearing that complainant has no cause for ac tion the case is dismissed. Faulk vs. Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley Railway Company, claim for over charge and damage; it appearing by let ter from the complainant that the claim has been paid and no further relief was demanded the case was dismissed. Prang's Holiday Publication. Prang's, holiday publications for the season of 1892-'93 are in advance of the high record of previous years, as a va riety received at the Star office will prove. They embrace Christmas and New Year cards, calendars, booklets, &c , of beautiful and unique designs, all belonging to a distinctively American line, and form a most attractive style of Christmas and New Year reminders at a very small cosL Some of them rank high as art publications, and they be come more popular every year.

The New York Herald hints that Chas. A. Dana, of the Sun, would make a tip-top Minister to England, and this right on top of several other remarks to the effect that he ought to represent New York in the Senate. The Herald seems bound to have an editor for something. Inasmuch as the Herald has been demanding the abolition of the minister business as entirely useless, Mr. Dana may not be carried away by this endorsement. ' Receipts of'- Navai 3tor aa . -Yesterday.

Mr A F. Powell, of Vineland was in the city yesterday. lilzzie Evans in "The Little Blacksmith." The performance at the Opera House last night was good, but the audience was small. , The play presented was entitled "The Little Blacksmith" with Lizzie Evans as star. "Lizzie" is a very charming little ac tress, sparkling with real gems of stage wit and actions. She is as pretty as a picture, bright as a new silver dollar, and it is useless to say she pleased the audience. Her support was good and some deserve especial mention. Miss Georgie Briar was very graceful and took her part well. Gus Pixley, the artist, Frank 'Bell as Farmer Cleaves, and Wm. Daniels as the Big- Man of the Town, s piced the play with much wit and hu mor,, and kept the audience full of laughter, even at the times when things were most serious with the other actors. Ralph Stewart, who took the part of Frank Conver, master of the mill, is not a complete stranger in the city. He is a handsome young actor of talent, but this part didn't seem to give him a full op portunity to show his ability, although the audience soon recognized it. Engineers Beneficial Association. A meeting of the Marine Engineers Beneficial Association No. 71, ol Wil mington, was held last night, at which officers for the ensuing year were elect ed as follows: Past PresidentGeorge Frederick.

Bell. the romantic school of acting. To ex ceptional histrionic ability he unites a fine personal presence, a . pleasing voice and an inborn magnetism that sways audiences to his will. In "The Planter's Wife'j he sustains the role of a brave Southern colonel a character that suits his Dowers admirably. The drama itself is one of 'absorbing interest. The box sheet is now open at Yates . North! Carolinians in Washington. The Washington correspondent of the Richmond. Y., Dispatch, says Several prominent North Carolinians were in the city to-day. Among the number were Mr. Sol. C. Weil, of Wil- .mington, an elector-at-large on . the Democratic ticket, and Mr.f. W. Kerch ner, of the same city, who is understood to be an applicant for the position of Colleictor of the port of Wilmington, the place now held by Dancy, a colored Republican. Mr. Julian b.
