The play was received in tne kindliest soirit. winning the unstinted aooroval which was accorded it last sea urn on its first-Dresentation.1 "A Fair Rebel" is an excellent war play founded on the two best impulses oi the human heart love and patriotism. The scene depicting the escape from Lfbby prison was splendidly managed and held the audience 'in a tremor of excitement. The acting was in all respects com mendable, j : ' ' .

The check was meant for a white man named Benjamin Drew and was drawn on a New .York. bank, but the black Drew thought he would make the most of the mistake of the postoffice and had the check .collected through the Merchants National Bank. Then be went to his home hear Wil mington, N. G. where he had a gala time lor. a while.

Stand ing at Market dock, as far up and down the river as any one's vision could reach, a field of floating'ice extending from shore to shore, could be seen moving with the tide. All the river tugs had their bows protected by an extra coating of planks, to prevent damage by floating floes. At daylight, the river was found frozen over from shore to shore.! The Wilmington on her trip to the city from South port, had to cut through ice which had formed across the river at the -Rocks." .':') : j ; ! -' At Glenaan's Landing, up the Cape Fear river about forty miles, the cove is covered with drift ice about two feet in thickness. ; : j There were no advices by the river, yesterday from Fayetteville or Point Caswell. Boats have stopped, and rafts and flats are tied up until the ice breaks up. " j ; ' '! ' The Fayetteville Observer, of Thurs day, says the ice on the; ponds there is six or seven inches thick. ; 1 The telegraph companies are getting the wires out of the tangle into which they were thrown by the sleet, and business yesterday over the lines was uninterrupted. ; Advices from Florida are that oranges on the lowlands and in exposed places are probably damaged to some extent, but on the sand bills acid hummocks no damage has been done. , Traffic in all parts of the country is suspended, owing to roads being ob structed. ; : .

The railroads are . doing well their part in relieving the ' suffering among the poor,' not only in Wilmington but at other places along their lines. The Goldsboro Argus of yesterday says: ! The Wilmington & Weldon and the R. & D. railroads, following up their generous gifts of wood last week, have each sent forward two more car-loads for distribution among the city's needy. This is more generous on the part of Capt. Tohn F. Divine and Col. A. a Andrews, because itj was done in the fdee of a direct offer from our "City Fathers" to buy and wood. ; ; pay cash for this I.

WilminKton Iron Works , Company Deatroyed tto a Estimated at 1 1 0,000 Insurance $7,500. ; Fire broke out yesterday morning at twenty minutes to. four o clock in the Wilmington Iron Works, foot of Nun street. Upon the arrival of the Fire Department, which was prompt to .an swer the call from box No. 48, it was found that the main building, which was one story and) 80 by 120 feet, covered with corrugated Iron, was on fire from one end to the other, and that the flames were leaping ! high through the roof. The building had been on fire fully half an hour before the alarm was turned in and upon inquiry it . was ascertained that the watchman an old colored man who lives in a small house in the : yard near the burned building did not know how to turn nn alarm when he dis covered the I fire, which - started in the middle J of the west end of the shops. The alarm was finally . given by the policeman on that beat. The fire was no doubt the work of an incendiary as there had been no work done in the shops tor several days. The morning was one of the coldest this winter; the water from the nozzles of the hose freez. ing on reaching the ground. -, The firemen deserve credit for keep ing the fire from spreading to the whart and surrounding dwellings, and. ware- bouses. The foundry, which is a separate building, east of the machine shops, was also on fire, but was not materially dam aged. '; I -v.:-' ; . The loss is estimated at $10,000, and the insurance amounts to $7.500, as fol lows: On building. $3,000 in the Guar dian Assurance Co., of London, Eng., with Mr. fosi D.

Thomas and Bur bank of the Quarantine Board JSo Cause for Apprehension The Vea ael Believed from Quarantine. Drs. Thomas and Barbank went -to the Quarantine Station at South port yesterday and after consultation with Dr. Curtis have given permission to the steamship Reral to come to the city. The steamer was from Newcastle, Eng land, bound to Hamburg. She did not reach that city, however, on account of the ice, being stopped at St. Nicholas, a point five miles from Hamburg. Here her cargo of coal was delivered to light ers, and as soon as the vessel's cargo was discharged the authorities came aboard and disinfected and fumigated her. She then received from lighters ; the , kainit which she brings to Wilmington. The captain, and owner, who was aboard, went ashore to get the cl :arance papers, and to reship six men and a mate. These men were taken direct from a steamer arrived from the North Sea, and the mate had just arrived from the Black Sea. They were only ashore long enough to sign the ship's papers. The ship is in excellent condition and was full ot sulphur fumes : when the doctors left her She has on board the water with! which she filled her casks when she was in Newcastle. , OPERA HOUSE.

The play is written describing character close to life, and those taking parts acted them as well. It is to be hoped that the manager of bur Opera House will book many more such plays to be presented before the. (season ' is ended, and that the public ' will profit bv it. i i -v BUSINESS LOCALS.
