Fuschi-Madi, a once famous opera singer, died in a cabin in the woods near Bethel Mountain, N. J., and in poverty last Thursday. According to reports from Hon.W. L. Wilson's district in West Virginia, the Democracy is solid, enthusiastic and determined to wage the fight for tariff reform. By not paying proper attention to his figures, John C. Knox, deceased, of Brooklyn, N. Y., has got his lega tees somewhat mixed up. The lega cies left by him foot up in the aggre gate $105,000, while the estate pans out only $40,000. There is only a difference of from 200,000,000 to 500,000,000 bushels in the respective estimates of the corn crop for thts year. It is merely a mat ter of a few ciphers, but when they measure up somebody will have to acknowledge the corn. On the 1st of June last the pig iron furnaces in blast in this country had a capacity of 62,517 tons a week. On September 1st, the furnaces in blast had a capacity of 151,113 tons. Here is another hefty sockdolager for the calamity howler. According to the Brenham, Texas, Banner the farmers in the Lone Star dpjjjain are solid. "Every bank in Texas," it says, "holds their deposits and they have very few mortgages on their crops," hence the crop of PopuIists is small, and the crop of Democrats large. The United States had a fleet ot nine vessls patrolling the Bering sea, to prevent seal fJbaching, which cost $400,000, while Great Britain had one, G. B. wasn't as anxious to pre vent poaching as the U. S. were, tor the poaching was mainly done by Britishers. Overproduction in the coffin crop has reduced the price of coffins so much that an exchange remarks that "a person can die now a good deal cheaper than he could a year ago." Yes, but people are not half as anxious to do now as they were a year ago. Things are getting better and there is some inducement to keep on living. The Northwestern forest fires had scarcely burned themselves out be fore a big cyclone swept along and tore things up over a considerable extent of territory. If those afflicted people did the sensible thing tltpse of them who can would pull up stakes and strike for the South where we don't have forest fires, cyclones, etc., and where we don't freeze to death in the Winter nor roast to death in the Summer. San Francisco, Cal., seems to be on the down grade. It is said that rents have fallen twenty per cent., that thousands of buildings are va cant, and that many pieces of prop erty on the principal streets have re cently sold for three-quarters of their former price, while her trade and commerce are both declining. San Francisco should whoop it up for the Nicaragua Canal, or, as Chauncey F. Black calls it, the American Canal. "The South Carolina Democratic Convention," remarks the Chicago Inter-Ocean, Republican, "denounced President Cleveland for appointing Republicans to office, as an un worthy successor of Jefferson, Jack son and Madison, and as a betrayer of the platform on which he was elected." As a simple matter of fact, the South Carolina Democratic Con vention didn't do any such thing. Mr. Tillman's Convention did something like that. Here is a distinction with a difference. An Italian mechanic, a resident of Florence, is said to have made an improvement on the bicycle by which the rider can fly at a speed of more than a mile and a half a minute with one-twentieth of the exertion now required, while E. P. Holley, of Providence, R. t, claims to have in vented a hydraulic bicycle, which will make twice the speed of the present racing machines. It is built of alaminom, and weighs only three pounds.

It was run by Messrs. King and Evans. The excur sionists left for home last evening. WEST INDIA HURRICANE Sweeping Up the Coast from Florid and Working Havoc in Its Course. The weather Bureau map issued yes terday morning said of the storm in the South that it was moving very slowly, a long ridge of high pressure extending southwest to Texas retarding its move ment; but that it would probably reach this vicinity in full force last night or early this morning. There were indications of its approach all yesterday in the steady down-pour of rain, and the violent gusts of wind from the northeast that increased in frequency and force after nightfall. Dispatches received by the Star last night from Jacksonville, Savannah and Charleston show that the hurricane was working havoc along the coast and had caused much damage to property in many places. At 10.30 o'clock last night the follow ing was received at the station here from the Chief ot the Weather Bureau at Washington, viz: "Continue northeast signals at Wil mington. The storm is between Charles ton and Savannah, moving north-northeast. Northeast gales will continue, prob ably shifting! to southeast in the early mo. ning." Ooserver Graham said last night: "At 8 o'clock this morning, the storm was central near Savannah and Charleston, moving north. -northeast. It will prob ably pass slightly west of this city dur inz the early morning. Wind3 will con tinue high northeast, shilling to south east to-morrow morning. It will prob ably be considerably cooler here to-morrow morning. Much heavier rain will fall in this section to-night and to-mor row. The highest wind at this station uo to 11 o'clock to-night was 40 miles northeast. Over ten inches of rain has fallen at Jacksonville .during the last thirty-six hours. The Fuller Trial. A special dispatch to the Star from Rockingham; N. C, concerning the trial of E. J. Fuller for murder, was sent the Star last night, bat before the message was completed the wires went down.

The rice crop in the fields tributary to Charleston, says the News and Courekr, is said by the planters to be in good con dition, and they hope to see it harvested without serious loss or damage. The rice planters for the last yeat or so have a se ries of storms and unfortunate weather conditions to contend with, and they have consequently been heavy losers. The season so far has been encoura ging and unless the storm now threaten ing is severe enough to damage the crop the farmers expect to pull through this year with a handsome balance to their credit. Some of them seem to think that the acreage this year is considerably smaller than it was last, but they expect a handsome yield trom almost every foot of ground that has been planted. The rainy weather which prevailed recently in this sec tion has done no material damage with the exception of flooding an occasional held. The total crop of rice for the year is estimated at about 0,000,000 bushels, about 2,008,000 of which will be grown on the Atlantic coast. , An estimate of what the receipts will be, as made by a well-posted rice man, is as follows: Savannah 350,000, Wilming ton 350.000, Newbern 350.000, George town 550,000 and Charleston about 760, 000. Of course these are merely rough estimates, but they can be relied upon in a general way. They are made up of the best information now attainable. There is no room to believe that the year will be a bad one for prices. The quality of the product is expected to be very good, and on the whole planters look for a prosperous season if thev only get oft witn the pending cyclone. WILMINGTON WELCOME WEEK. Railroads Will Oive Low Bates for the Occasion. Mr. P. Pearsall, chairman of the com mittee which was appointed by the Wil mington Welcome Week Executive Committee to confer with the railroads to ascertain what rates could be secured, told a Star reporter yesterday that the Carolina Central, Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley, and Wilmington, Newbern & Norfolk railroads have agreed to give a one and five-eighths cent rate per mile, which is satisfactory, being about the fare one way for the round trip. Mr. T. M. Emerson, Traffic Mana ger for the A. C. L., who was seen yes terday, said he would do the best he could to secure a very low rate on the Wilmington & Weldon and the Wil mington, Columbia and Augusta rail roads. inis means tnat the w. w. W. is a certainty if the merchants will respond liberally to those who call on them for subscriptions. A Welcome Week Pointer. Charleston has abandoned her inten tionof having a "Deep Water Festival" this year. It was intended to take the place of her Gala Week ; but the failure of the City Council to make an appro priation resulted in the abandonment of all efforts to have any celebration until next y:ar. This should be an incentive to Wil mington to add to the interest of her Welcome Week, as it can be made to result in a much larger attendance here from many points in South Carolina Doubtless our W. W. W. Executive Committee will consider this matter at their meeting to-night. Superior Court. Cases in this Court yesterday were disposed of as follows : John R. Rasberry vs. Jackson N. Ste vens, executor of Martha Adams. Judg ment against defendant for costs. Junius Davis, receiver Bank of New Hanover, vs. John M. Fairley, et al judgment non suit. E. K. Bryan, assignee, vs. J. G.

Whi' Boot and Shoo Trade in Boston, New CUZXork and Philadelphia-Active De- J,and and Firmer Tone BOSTON. There is an active demand for nearly everything that is staple, largely for im mediate delivery. The orders are of sufficient size to keep most of the facto ries in steady operation for some time: There is also a good demand for shoes in stock, but the drafts on such have been so constant of late that there a few left; it it difficult to fill an ordinary order. The market is in a sensitive po sition, and while manufacturers are fill ing all supplementary orders at un changed priees, there is no guar antee that they will continue to do so much longer. Leather has advanced somewhat. The lowest grades of leather show the greatest advance, and it is on these also that the market is so closely cleaned up, and as all buyers are calling ior low-pncea snoes, manufacturers are ' likewise calling for low-priced leather. The time it near when jobbers will need to place a portion at least of their spring orders. Under existing conditions, they would doubtless like to close good sized contracts. Manufacturers can hardly be as ready to commit them selves, with leather advancing. NEW YORK. Business is more active than ever. The manufacturers are all busy. Orders for fall shoes are coming in freely from a distance, and the near-by dealers, who are always the latest to stock up, are lay- ng in their supplies. There are fewer buyers here than there were. Most ot them have gone home, but the mails bring in demands for shoes which make up for their absence. Some of the man ufacturers have made up samples of spring shoes, and have started their salesmen who traverse the Pacific Coast off with them. Others will leave the first of next week, and a majority a week later than that. PHILADELPHIA. Trade is very brisk. Low-grade shoes are about 20 per cent, cheaper than they were two years ago. Every retailer has increased his quota of them and the pressure for delivery is great. Manufac turers are busy; those who sell Southern trade are especially so. Thev are 'not making high-grade shoes. Department stores are putting in orders tor 5,000 and 10.000 pairs for immediate delivery. Auction sales are ior large amounts. Small retailers' declining business furnish some stocks every week. This indicates that the large houses are driving out small ones. WITHOUT A PILOT. Charleston Steamer Tries to Oo Out Without a Pilot-It Ban Aground. The News and Courier says : The British steamship Glen-wood, Capt. Me- hegan, is stuck on the north breaker of Swash Channel. When the news reached the city yesterday afternoon it occa sioned no surprise. The master had not been able to get his vessel ready by 5 o'clock, after which hour the pilots had said they would not take her out. The master thereupon insisted on starting without a pilot, trusting to his own. and as it proved, imperfect knowledge of the narnor. tie also tried to go out by the old "Swash Channel." which is more complicated than the Jetty Channel, and although his vessel drew only fifteen feet ot water ran her aground on the north breaker. It was so evident to those versed in such matters that this was what would happen, that a tug boat went down just behind, in anticipation of the supposed event, to be on hand to render assistance and thereby earn a large fee. Tide will be high at 5.10 this morning, at which hour the Glenwood will proba bly be pulled off. It should be borne in mind that, while it is unfortunate that the first cotton ship of the season should have grounded, the accident was due to no lack of water nor to incompetency of pilots, but solely to the fact that Capt. Mehegan thought that he knew the Swash Channel well enough to take his vessel out when he did not. THE CIRCUS IS COMING. Walter L. Main's Circus Will Be Here October 15th. Wilmington is going to have a circus a genuine three ring circus. It is the Walter L. Main "Grandest and Best Shows on Earth," and this is its first visit South. They travel on their own special trains of 60-foot railroad cars, and come very highly recommended from Northern cities. The date of the show is Monday, October 15th, and the price of admission is fifty cents, exactly the same charged by this show in the North. Of the show the Saratoga, N. Y., Daily Eagle says : The Walter L. Main Big Shows exhib ited here yesterday afternoon and even ing. The Main Show is the grandest ex hibition that has ever been in Saratoga in former years, and its mammoth tents were packed. They have the Riding Lion, the Baby Monkey, and4the Baby Lions which were born on the show s ar rival here this morning. The cute baby monkey whose mothertclings to it as a mother would cling to her child, attract ed the most attention, even more than the double-horned Rhinocerous. In the three rings of the circus there was some thing going on all the time, and it was a clean snow from start to nnisn. GENERAL COLSTON. He la Now at the Soldiers' Home in Richmond. The friends of General Raleigh E. Colston will read the annexed, from the Richmond Dispatch, with interest: General R. E. Colston was brought to this city yesterday from Washington and taken to the Soldiers Home. Prior to the war General Coltton was a professor at the Virginia Military Institute, and during the war was a Brigadier-General in the Confed erate army. After the cessation of hostilities he went to Egypt and for tome time was in the service of the Khedive. Of late years he had been a clerk in the War Department at Washington, and, having been paral yzed, was allowed to do his work at home until a recent ruling of the depart ment forbade it. He was met at Elba by a delegation of ex-cadets, consisting of Colonel W. h Cutshaw, General Charles J. Anderson Colonel John B. Purcell, Colonel Thos, P. Pollard, Dr. George Ross, Mr. B. C Wherry and Dr. W. A. Deas. and seemed ereatlv affected by this evidence of re card . At the home, hit daughter, Mrs Ragland, of Petersburg, was waiting to receive him.

Special Star Telegram. Bennettsville, S. C, September 26. The Breeden-Moore homicide case was terminated last night at eleven o'clock. This was one ot the most important cases ever tried in this county. The case was commenced one week ago. The jury was confined all the time. The speeches occupied more than eight hours. Solicitor Johnston, T. I. Rogers and T. W. Boucher made the biggest effort of their lives. The court house was filled every day. The case was given to the jury yesterday at 1 o'clock. They were out ten hours and brought in a verdict finding Breeden, the defend ant, guilty of manslaughter. This verdict demonstrates that men of influence and wealth can be convicted in Marlboro county. Public opinion gen erally endorses the action of the jury and says that the verdict could not have been less. The attorneys for the de fence are endeavoring to induce the jurors who tried the case to sign a peti tion praying the judge to be as lenient as possible. The judge has not passed sentence, The celebrated Raybon and Terrell case will be tried to-morrow. The Fire Alarm. The electric-light pole on Fourth street, between Chesnut and Princess, was blown down about half-past 8 o'clock, In falling the electric-light wire crossed the fire-alarm wire and set the alarm ringing. Supt. Riley of the electric light works was sent for and promptly reme died the difficulty as far as the electric light wire was concerned. The drivers in the engine houses were kept busy in restraining their horses for some time. Later in the night it was found that the trouble was in the first fire district over the railroad and could not be rem edied until morning, and that the electric light wire had nothing at all to do with it.

WHOLE NO. 8,538 OPENING DAY. A Handsome Exhibit at A. D. Brown's Dry Goods Store. The weather yesterday was simply horrible, and not many ladies ventured out to attend the "opening" at the large dry goods establishment of Mr. A. D. Brown. No. 9 North Front street; but it is safe to say that of those who did brave the wind and the rain, no one was f disappointed with the beautiful and artistic display and the pretty souvenirs given to lady visitors. The windows of the store were elabo rately and tastefully dressed one with beautiful silks, satins, etc., and the other with rich and handsome carpeting, rugs and upholstery. The interior of the store was a marvel lous exhibit of beautiful goods, showing exquisite taste in selection and the skill of a master-band in the display. A pretty arrangement was a Japanese booth, in an alcove. in which fancy wares, curtains and other draperies were effectively shown. Tnesecond floor of thejstore, in charge of Mr. J. F. Whitaker, is well worth a visit only to see the handsome carpets, rugs, art-squares, mattings, rich lace curtains, portiers, upholsterer's goods, trunks, and a thousand or more articles that it would take time and space to enumerate. .'The Danger Signal" Imi Night. Those who were so fortunate as to witness "The Danger Signal," played by the Edward J. Adams Comnanv at the Opera House last night, were fully re paid by venturing out in such rainy weather. While it is true the audience was small, yet it was appreciative and the actors played as though a full house were present. Of the company it may be said they all did full justice to their iparts.
