A Kentucky jury has just given us
its idea of the proportionate value of
a man and a horse in that State. A
woman who sued a railroad for kill

$150 damages for her horse and one

in Breckinridge's district, either.
With the service which electricity

If the mob which rioted in Buda
Pesth because the Government did

of his life in penury.
A Birmingham, Ala., iron firm were
the successful competitors in bids
to supply the city of Philadelphia
with 10,000 tons of iron piping. The

This looks something like shipping

men can send iron piping cheaper to
Philadelphia than Pennsylvania iron
men can.
The House Judiciary Committee
favors the bill which provides for
paying U. S. District Attorneys,
Marshals ana Clerks a salary in
stead of fees. The salary proposed
is $4,000. Whether this be the
correct sum may be open to differ
ences of opinion, but the bill aims at
a good thing which is to take the
temptation to persecute and oppress
the people away from these officers
by removing the temptation to gain
fees.
This country imported in 1890,

there are 866,084 acres available for

for the culture of bananas, so that
cultivating these fruits may yet be

The members of Wilmington Steam

their twenty-fifth anniversary last night
by giving a sociable in the hall over
their engine house, at the corner of
Fourth and Princess streets, to the
great enjoyment of their friends and
themselves.
Music, dancing and refreshments in
great profusion were the special features
of the evening, and the boys fully sus

The hall was filled with ladies and
gentlemen, and many visitors, among
whom were Mayor Fishblate, Alder

called during the ' evening and
congratulated the "Fire boys," upon
their celebration of the happy occasion.

More Cold Weather Likely.
The Weather Bureau reports another
cold wave forming in the Northwest.
O bserver Graham says, while the pre

difficult to say whether or not it will last
very long.

night, closes his letter as follows: "It was
secured from the body of a rabbit killed
by myself, by the regulation mode, a few
hours before the time 'when graveyards
yawn, die. Oood enough!
A citizen of Raleigh, who has
been a subscriber to the Daily Star
many years, writes as follows concerning
the Sunday issue: "Yesterday's Star
was a 'daisy,' and it should certainly
largely increase your subscription list.
It is decidedly the best paper in the
State."
An impromptu german was
given last night at Germania Hall, com
plimentary to the College Glee Club. It
was one of the largest germans ever held
in this city. One particularly noticeable
feature was the attendance of a large
number of young ladies visiting friends
in. the city.
Advertisers who wish their an
nouncements to appear in the enlarged
Sunday Star will do us a favor by
banding them ia to-day or to-morrow.
As a rule, business men have more time
now for writing advertisements for the
Sunday paper than they will have later
in the week.
THE DAMAGE TO CROPS.
More Favorable Reports Received
from
Varioua Points.
As foreshadowed in the Star yester
day the damage to truck farms, while
bad enough, is not so disastrous as the
first reports indicated.
Of the effects of the cold wave in the
Newbern section the Courier says:
"At least three-quarters of the potato
crop was well up, and was damaged by
the cold somewhat, but not to a serious
degree. The pea crop is badly damaged
A small acreage of beans was sufficiently
advanced to be entirely destroyed. The
second plantings were not up, and coa
sequently remain uninjured. The cab
bage crop was damaged somewhat. If
the cold of last night does not again visit
this section, the crop of truck will still
be very large.
And the Newbern Journal says: "So
take it all in all, there is a bright side to
the picture. Though the snap entails
loss and trouble, it has come early
enough in the season to remedy the most
of the damage, and unless there is a re
currence of it later on, we may yet look
for large shipments."
The Norfolk Virginian reports what
the truckers in that section say:
"The Norfolk county truckers who
visited the seed stores yesterday came
to the city, many of them, to get seed
for replanting. They report that the
greatest loss will be to the early straw
berry crop, which was fairly well ad
vanced. Lettuce, radish, peas, beans
and cucumbers were killed and will re
quire replanting. Irish potatoes were
cut to the ground but will sprout again.
There was another frost yesterday
morning and ice lormed in exposed
places in Wilmington. It is likely that
it caused more damage to crops, but it
will take two or three days, perhaps, to
ascertain the full elects of the freeze in
this section. The minimum temperature
at Wilmington yesterday morning was
32'.
Fretse-out at Charlotte.
The annexed paragraph from the
Charlotte News tells about the effects of
the freeze in and around that place :
The fruit is done for. The flowers
that bloom in the spring caught it last
night and they are withered to-day. For
the past ten days the landscape has been
brilliant with the delicate tints of the
blooming fruit trees, gardens showed up
green and everytning promised well
The voice of the turtle was heard in the
land, but last night Jack Frost came
along and knocked all the poetry out in
one round. It is a gone case with fruit
but gardens can be replanted, and the
man who usually comes in to the local
paper to report the first mess of peas
win come a little later this year than
formerly that is all. The frost com
pietely killed peaches, pears, apricots,
cnerries and apples. Last year people
had to prop up their fruit trees to keep
them from breaking down under heir
load of fruit. No propping will be nec
essary tnts year,
THE CHARLESTON TRUCKERS.
Effiota of the Great March Tree as Severe
Damage and n Gloomy Outleok.
The territory around Charleston being
one of the most important trucking sec
tions of the country, the following from
the News and Courier will prove inter
esting :
The damage which has been done to
the vegetable crops' in this vicinity is far
too great to be rightly estimated at this
time. The damage is confined neither
to one section nor to any one particular
crop, but covers the entire stretch of the
Carolina coast and includes every article
of truck which is grown on Carolina
truck farms. Some sections and some
crops have doubtless suffered more than
others, but none, have entirely escaped
the blight whicb.the. bitter. weather Mon
day night brought to all vegetation.
Owing to the fact that the Charleston
truckman plains his crops in instalments,
as it were, some of the vegetables were
too old and 'some too young to suffer
greatly disastrous consequences from
the frost and the freeze; but all such
crops as were above ground without yet
Having come to perlectron have been
sorely damaged. The crops most calcu
lated to be injured at this season of the
year are peas, cucumbers, beans, straw
berries, lettuce and late cabbages. The
early cabbages are now in course of
marketing, and it is believed that thev
had reached a stage of hardihood and
development which practically placed
them beyond danger. The same might
be added of the lull grown lettuce.
though it is more than probable that the
growing plants will be blighted by the
Irost, and that their value win be
seriously impaired.
lhe pea and bean crops nave un
doubtedly suffered a heavy blow. Those
plants upon which the fruit had begun
to gather have probably escaped, but
these constitute but a small portion of
the entire crop. For the most part the
peas were flowering or just beginning to
do so, and it is scarcely to be hoped that
where this was the case more than a
very small per cent, of the crop has es
caped without great injury.
The cucumbers, on the other hand,
are very young, and most of them have
probably been cut short off to the
ground. Though apparently the cu
cumber crop may baye suffered more
than any of the others, the permanent
njury to it is not so very great from
the fact that it can more readily be re
planted.
The extent of the .injury to the straw
berries' cannot be even approximated as
yet. Whether it is great enough to
cause a serious shortage in the Charles
ton crop, or whether it is merely slight.
no one knows. As the beds can easily
be protected and as the farmers had a
considerable time within which to pre
pare for -the freeze it is possible that
many of the beds have been saved. The
farmers are accustomed to be on the
lookout for cold snaps which will hurt
their Denies, consequently they are
pretty well prepared to protect them.
Reports have not been received yet
from all over the trucking section in this
vicinity, and consequently nothing like
an accurate estimate of the loss can yet
be formulated. The gentlemen who
were seen yesterday all spoke in very
gloomy tones about the crops, and it
was evident that they were preparing
themselves for the worst.
The meagre reports which had been
received from other trucking sections
yesterday afternoon were all bad, and it
was very evident that Charleston s loss
has not been greater proportionately
than that of other places. The farmers
are hoping that the market will not be
seriously affected by tne cold wave and
that they will get good prices lor some
time to come for whatever vegetables
are yet left to them in good condition.
ZERA SEMON.
The Greatest Bhow Beneath the Skies
At the Opera House, five nights only,
commencing next luesday evening.
April 3rd, the great Zera Semon, with
Le Bijou Royal Marionette" troupe,
and the world's greatest Japanese
juggler, Hilton, and other new novelties
will appear. Prof. Semon will give
away 200 presents at every performance,
The Lansing (Mich.) Journal said of
Prof. Semon: "Prof. Zera Semon bad a
packed house last night, and deservedly
so. for he gave the Lansing public
rare treat, and in every way fulfilled the
promises of his advertisement. One of
the beauties of the show is its infinite
variety, so that the tastes of all are
satisfied. There are singing, dancing,
comicalities of all kinds, and many
things besides to charm the eye, please
the ear and the humor. The marion
etts were immense, and caused roars of
laughter. The minstrel troupe is a first
class one, and the conjuring was also
the best; in fact everything was well
done. The feature of the evening was
the giving out of the prizes, and here,
too. Prof. Semon fulfilled all his
promises, distributing more than a hun
dred really valuable presents. Alto
gether the show was a great success, and
was well worth the entrance money, even
without the prizes.
Gun and Kennel Club.
The gun and kennel club met last
night at the City Hall. A constitution
and by-laws were adopted. The name
of the organization was not decided
on, but will be selected at the next
meeting, to be held Priday, April 6th
at which time further steps towards per
fecting the organization will be taken
Twelve new members were elected, and
much interest was manifested.

UNIVERSITY GLEE CLUB.
Conoert at the Y. M. O. A. Audi tort um-
A fins Porformaooe.
One of the most fashionable audi
ences of the season assembled at the
M. C. A. auditorium last night to
listen to the University of North Caro-
ina Glee Club concert. To do justice
to the entertainment would require more
space than the Star has at us disposal
btu it is but right that it should say
that the U, N. C. really possesses some
talented musically inclined young men
Mr. McKenzie seemed to be the centre
of attraction; his numerous, curious and
otherwise comical solos created no end
of amusement. He was encored several
times, but possessed an inexhaustible
repertoire and he very kindly and
graciously responded, much to the de-
ght of the audience.
Mr. Charles Roberson possesses the
happy faculty of imbuing his colleagues
with a precision of harmony and action
rarely exhibited by musical leaders. The
programme was rendered with exceed
ing smoothness, each number being
given the requisite attention.
The Way It's Done at North Caro
lina" reflects credit on K. P. H; it being
the opinion of all that this was the best
number on the programme. The other
songs were strikingly apposite, selections
appearing from many collections of Col
lege Glee Songs from foremost univer
sities, It is hoped the Club will make it con
venient to visit Wilmington again ; they
will always receive a warm reception
from Wilmington people.
At the conclusion of the entertain
ment a reception was tendered the Col
lege boys in the parlors of the Y. M. C.
A., which resulted in the formation of
many pleasant acquaintanceships.
Painfully Hart.
Mr. Jno. F. Littleton, weigher for the
firm of Messrs. Worth & Worth, was
everely hurt yesterday afternoon. While
at work in the warehouse an empty
spirits cask fell from the loft, striking
Mr. Littleton on the head, making an
ugly bruise and effecting his spinal
column. His father, Mr. E. J.
Littleton, who was near by, picked him
up, almost unconscious, and immediate
ly secured medical attention. After bis
wound was dressed by Dr. Pigtord. Mr.
Littleton was sent to his residence on
Queen street between Third and Fourth.
Last night he was resting easily, and it
is not thought that his wounds will cause
him much trouble.
United Confederal Veterans.
A circular from the headquarters of
the United Confederate Veterans, New
Orleans, La.. March 15th, signed by Geo;
Moorman. Adjutant General and Chief
