Judge decided that ; f ree lunches 7 in : saloons were against the laws of . that State,buf the saloon-keepers have pooled their issues and have resolved that the free "lunch shall stay. This has got the Judge's dander up and he de clares that if . they lay out the free lunch he will lay out the saloons by revoking their license. It is said that they . purify the drinking water they now use in Ham burg by passing it through cylinders containing small pieces of iron. It is claimed that fifteen pounds of iion will purify 1,000,000 gallons of water, and that the water thus treated will be completely freed from germs, bacteria and-oth'er objectionable mat ter. This' is certainly simple, and ought to be a cheap method of puri fication. ; --" '"-. ' . -.

A Hblfingsworth came to the citySundav from .his home, about seven miles from town to attend services : in St. Stephen's Church, and Vleft for home in thei afternoon. 'AbOiit four miles from town'be was overtaken by a colored man. astranger. . who ac companied JHtollingswbrth some dis" tance and dropping behind him, knocked hi m rn the head with a piece, of jronl Hollingsworth fell to the ground and1 re mained in an unconsaous state until he was discovered by some one passioe by. His pockets had been rifled and his watcV carried off. Subsequently Hol lingsworth was brought to the city for treatment. Dr." Reynolds,' a colored physician, made an examination and found that while the scalp was badly cut the skull was not broken. There is no due to the robber, but the descrip tion the old man gives of him may lead to his identification. FIRE DEPARTMENT MATTERS. Additional - Hydrants Glass-faced Key Boxes to fee Beplaoed New Fire Hose. , Three new fire " hydrants are to be placed at points in the Fifth Ward where most needed. This is commendable, but more are needed in that part of the city. . ; The fire-alarm-key-boxes with glass face will be replaced shortly. A law passed by the last Legislature makes in terference with, these boxes sending i a false alarm punishable by fine or im prisonment, or both, at the discretion of I the, court. The fine is not less than $100 or more than $200; and the impris onment, one to two y ears. Chief Newman has arranged to sup ply the department with new hose, one and-a-foorth inch diameter, fitted with (reduced) coupling to fit the large hose now in use. It is intended, for service where fires are small and a large volume of water is not necessary. It will be car ried by the hook and ladder trucks. It is light and easily handled, and will with stand as much pressure as the standard size hose". ' , Meeting at the Produoe'Exohange To-Day.

WILMINGTON LIGHT' INFANTRY JJN : DER ARMS AND AWAITING ORDERS. The t First BegtiqenW at Newborn Oov. v Carr on the Ground All Quiet Along 7,; ; tKe Neuse and h Trentf. East' Uijihfr " " No Serious Trouble Expected,, Bat It " ' It 8aid the State QuardCTill Move On the ' fcnemy's .Works'' To-day.' . :"Tbe Wilmington .Light 'Infantry is ready to move at -a moment's notice." was the message sent yesterday by Capt. Jno. H. Daniel, commander of the com pany, in . response . to a- telegram froin Col. J no. F. Bruton, comman"ding;the Second Regiment, N; C S. G. The mem bers of the company were not only readyi but anxious to go "where duty called." . At fifteen minutes past nine o'clocTc Sunday night, Capt. Daniel received a telegram from Col. Jno. F, Bruton, com manding" the Second Regiment, order ing the company: to assemble and be ready to move on receipt ot orders from general headquartefsat Raleigh. Runners were at once sent dutto no tify the members of the company and by eleven. o'clock sixty men were at the armory. They remained at the armory all night awaiting further orders and at six o'clockjn the morning were paraded on the grounds, the roll was called and the company dismissed to go to their homes for breakfast. - About 10:30 a. m.,'after the company had " again . assembled . at the armory, Capt. Daniel telegraphed Adjutant General - Cameron, informing him that in obedience to the order of CoL Bruton he bad kept his company in the armory all night, and they were still there, and were anxious to be ordered where needed; but -asking it he should keep them at 'the. armory. This was done in view of the fact that if temporarily dis missed the command could be reassem bled in less than an hour if necessary. In reply to this he received a telegram ordering him to have, the company in readiness to move when called upon. Capt. Daniel then dismissed the com pany with -orders to' reassemble at the armory when the signal was given c-y ten taps on the fire-alarm. The alactity with which the members of the company turned out at the call is indeed commendable. Every man, ex cept one, reported for duty Sunday night. During the afternoon there were many' startling rumors. about trouble at James City and Newbern afloat, but none of them were true. - ' - ' The following telegrams in relation to the matter were received last evening by the Star : GOV. CARR AND THE - TROOPS. Raleigh. April 24. Gov.. Carr. with Adjutant General Cameron and the First regiment of the State Guard 300 men, under Gen. John W.

Governor Carr ac companied the soldiers. A-special to the Headlight from New bern to-night, gives a hopefull view of the situation at James City on the arrival of the train there. Several leading col ored men from Goldsboro and Kinston went over to the seat of war and held a conference with the 2,000 negroes, all of whom are now willing to give in, but in sist that the ejectments shall be made by the proper authorities. No further trouble is apprehended. Raleigh, April 24. The State mili tary is on the move. The companies of the First regiment have been ordered to James City, to dispossess the negro tenants there that have been decided to be unlawful occupants of the property and that the sheriff has not been able to dislodge. Accordingly, the companies adjacent to Raleigh arrived here by the early train to-day. At 9.80 o'clock they were joined here by the Governor's Guard under command of Capt. John W. Cross and proceeded to James City, which is across Trent river, opposite to Newbern. The troops were joined en route by the Goldsboro company. The companies arrived here on time at 9.80 a. m. and accompanied by the Governor's Guard moved to Goldsboro at 1.80 p. m. via the Richmond & Danville Railroad: Reports of the arrival of the troops at James City and the possible bloodshed in the attempt to dispossess the James City negroes are awaited with great in terest. - , The following is the order issued by the Governor for the movement of the troops : "State of North Carolina,, Exe cutive Department, Raleigh, Aprir 24, 1893.

Extra cars were in wait ing for them, to carry them with-speed over' the Richmond '& Danville and Atlantic & North Carolina roads. At least two hundred ladies, as well as. a great crowd of citizens were at the de pot to see the soldier boys start. Gov. Carr, commander-in-chief of the State Guard, was there in person, and accom panied the military to James City. Adjutant-General Cameron and other offi cers were there, The companies ot the regiment are as follows : Tarboro, 75 men; Greenville, 40 menRaleigfi, 55 men; Louisburg, 58 men; Warrenton, 39 men; Goldsboro. 50 men.'

Not a few tears were shed and good-byes were said with lachrymose anxiety by sweethearts, sis ters and mothers. - TO MOVE ON JAMES CITY TO-DAY. ' Newbern, April 24. Gov. Carr and staff are here.

A move on James City will be made to-morrow. - . . - STENOGRAPHERS. Organization of an Association in "Wilmington. " - m It has been felt for some time by many stenographers in this city that an association composed of members of the profession was needed. To this end a preliminary meeting was held- last night in the parlors of the Y; M. C. A., when fifteen gentlemen -responded. to the invitation to be present. - Mr. A. J. -Howell, Jr., acted as temporary chair man, and Mr. S. W. Vick, Jr., as secre tary. J.' .; v ; t : : . The ? leeling of the meeting 'was strongly in favor of the organization of a stenographers' association in Wil mington, with: the principal Object: in view of mutual- benefit to its members and aid to beginners. Two committees, consisting of three members each an organization com mittee and a membership-committee were appointed, and after a friendly talk the meeting adjounfed to meet again in the same place, on - Monday, May 8th, at 8.30 p. m. v - The object is" a worthy one, and it is earnestly "hoped that every one in .Wil mington laying any claim to. the title of stenographer, (male and female) will embrace the opportunity offered of uniting with others of the profession. ' Pistols and Knives. . - David Bryant, colored who keeps a grocery on Church between Seventh and Eighth . streets, tells a blood-curdling story of his encounter, with a robber last Friday nifijht. He says that about mid night, while he was closing his store, a tall mulatto, with a handkerchief tied -over the lower part of his .face, and a cap pulled over his eyes, opened the door and walked in while he was counting his cash. Bryant picked up a pistol and the man started, behind the counter. Bryant stopped him with the pistol and at tempted to push him out. The man re sisted, and a friend of Bryant who was in the store struck the man and a fight ensued, which ended in Bryant captur ing the would-be robber's pistol.. Bryant says the man ran off, with a bowie knife in his hand, and that he wore a belt filled with knives and pistols. - The "Sellable Gentleman." The ghost of the "reliable gentleman," of sweet Confederate war memory, re ported promptly yesterdry. He said 800 colored warriors had gone, to James City from Norfolk, -Va., that the bridge over Trent river hadjbeen. burned by the "enemy," that a battle was m progress at James City, that the "colored troops were fighting nobly," &d. &c But everybody who had the ghost "down fine" concluded to wait for The Morn ing Star to rise. - Stocks of Naval 8 tores. .
