CHEEKY BRECKINRIDGE. He is Advertised to Lecture In Charleston An Exaitlns Xneident of His Leoture . In Ciseinnati. ' The News and Ceurier says: W. C. P. Breckinridge, Madeline Pol lard's man, has- been advertised to de liver a lecture at the German Artillery Hall, in this city. A letter just received from a College President in this State, an ex -Confederate soldier who lost one of his legs at Williamsburg, Virginia, a man who bas nothing of the Puritan about him. but wao bas a heart and conscience, writes as follows: "What in the world are you going to do with Breckinridge in Charleston? He ought to get tbe cold shoulder from so decent and self-respecting a city as Charleston. If Chicago can say we want none of him surely Charleston will spew him out of her mouth." ' Breckinridge delivered his lecture in Cincinnati, Ohio, last Thursday night. The following account'ot tbe perform ance and its attendant events is taken from the New York Sun: 'The box office at Pike's Opera House, where Col. Breckinridge lectured to-night, was the scene ot an exciting fight. Attorney Gus Meyer, who repre sented Madeline Pollard in taking depo sitions here previous to the Washington trial, bad a bill of- $45 50 against Col. Breckinridge. This afternoon be se cured a writ of attachment from 'Squire Kusbman, wbo instructed (constables Kinney and Valker to serve it. There bad been rumors of an attempted at tachment, and tbe box omce was barri- cated. 'A few minutes after '8 o'clock Kin ney went up to the window as it to pur chase a ticket. At that instant Valker gave him a shove and K nhey was sent clear through the barricade, knocking down the ticket seller, overturning tbe cash register and breaking a picture on the wall. Thin began an exciting Strug gle for' the posssion of the money which had rolled from the smashed re giSter. 'Kinney managed to pick up about $60. The struggle attracted Breckin ridge s friends and about fifteen rushed in. Kinney was knocked down and kicked, his lips being cut: The ticket taker received a severe cut on tbe band, probably from fl ing glass. "Just as quiet was restored Col. Breck inridge and his son Desha rushed in. Both were greatly excited. " 'Xou robbers I shouted the Colonel. while Desh struggle 1 to hit the consta ble, but was restrained bv friends. " 'You come down to the Grand Hotel to-morrow.' yelled Desha, 'and give me satisfaction.' - Kinnev declined tbe invitation, and after counting the money he had seized returned $13 75 to Manager Ballenberg Wnile tbe struggle was in progress two other constables, supposed to represent Madeline Pollard, were watching for a chance to jump in. . -, i 'Col. Breckinridge walked on tbe stage immediately after the box office n?ht and delivered bis lecture on 'An tra of American History. There was nothing striking in the discourse, and it met with a chilly reception. There were exactly two hundred in the audi ence, twenty-four ot whom were women. A heavy guard was kept at the box office, but no further assaults were made." AVERY GOOD SHOWING. Craven County's Democratic Commis sioners Have Beduoed their Debt $14, 000.

When tbe Democratic board took charge they found tbe county burdened with a debt ot $165,000 saddled upon it by their Republican predecessors Thev have reduced this now to $50,945 53. and are now preparing to make another pay ment ot S23,ouu more. A few years more of such wise and economic management and the county will be tree trom debt and increasing even more rapidly in material prosperity. Now, the question arises, will the Rep.-Pop.

To Develop local Business. One of the objects of the meeting of the freight and passenger agents held in Portsmouth last week was stated to be to "develop in a greater degree the lo cal business of the line." The Star is glad to note this important determina tion of the Seaboard system, because it feels that it will prove a great thing both for the Carolina Central railroad and tbe city of Wilmington.

Meeting of Freight rf&d Passenger AgeBto in Portsmouth The Local Bualneaaof the Line to Be Developed. The Norfolk Virginian gives the fol lowing report of an important railroad meeting held in Portsmouth : A very important meeting of the freight and passenger agents of the Sea board Air Line was held at the Hotel Portsmouth, Portsmouth, Friday and Saturday. The meeting was significant in many ways. The representatives were called together, by their superior officers, the general passenger agent and general freight agent, to report now at tbe close of this, the most prosperous year in the history of the Seaboard Air Line, the volume of business secured, to devise ways and means to secure a greater share ot competitive business, to develop in a greater degree the local business of the line and to discuss the great question of immigration and colonization. The agents were honored by the pres ence of the president of the Sl board Air Line. Mr. R. Hoffman; tbje new vice president, Mr. E. St. John; the general manager, Mr. John W. Winder; the gen eral agent at Portsmouth, Mr. Carroll H. Smith, and the department heads. General Passenger Agent T. J. Ander son and General Freight Agent H. W. B. Glover. Mr. T. J. Anderson, general passenger agent, was by vote ot the meeting, selected to preside, and he made an excellent presiding officer, holding the complete attention of every agent present by his happy speeches and wuty remarks.- lbere were present also the freight and passenger agents from Boston New York, roiladelpbia, Balti more, Washington, Richmond, Norfolk, Portsmouth. Durham, Raleigh, Fayette ville, Augusta, Laurens, Wilmington, Atlanta, Macon, Montgomery, New Or leans, St. Louis and Cincinnati. Tbe reports made showed gratifying increase of business from all points cov ered, the percentage of increase in many cases being little short of marvelous. Not tbe least significant feature of tbe gathering was the strong fraternal .feel ing and spirit of co-operation manifest. ed, and it is this element superinduced by the efficient management of the line by the capable general officers . that will have the most decided effect on tbe showing that will be made in the future by passenger and freight agents. Tbe meeting was addressed by the newly elected Vice-President. Mr. E. St. John, who, in an excellent speech, assured the agents and officials that tbe management under him should be an aggressive and progressive one. The. representatives passed votes ot thanks to Mr. T. J. Anderson, general passenger agent, and to Mr. H. W. B. Glover, general freight agent, for their strong co-operation in tbe past and tor their progressive and efficient direction which had made such excellent results possible and which will serve to bring tbe Seaboard Air Line to the front in the aear future. Tbe meeting adjourned at o 00 p. m. Saturday night, after voting to hold tbe next meeting at Atlanta. Ga., date not determined upon, Oorton'a Original New Oi leans llinttrelt. The last half of the present theatrical season ot 1894-'5 in this city, will be in augurated to-morrow eveniug at 8.15 o'clock at the Opera House with an ex cellent production of minstrelsy by that famous and ever popular minstrel ori ginator, Joseph Gorton, whose name is at the head of the !'Ori ginal New Orleans Minstrels," and who gives a production this season which surpasses anything be has ever put upon the American stage.

The ball opened at 9 o'clock with some sixty couples on the floor and the dancing continued until early this morning. At midnight, after the New Tear quadrille,1 supper was served by Mrs. P. N. Tick. ' Mr. Henry Geiscben led the dances, and the management of the ball, one of the most enjoyable of the season, was under control of the three Henrys Duls. Geiscben and Haar. Newspaper Thievea. It is a fact beyond dispute that news paper thieves follow the , carriers of the Star (on Sunday especially) - and steal many of the papers soon after Jthey are left for city subscribers. It will be easy to capture and punish some of these thieves if those to whom thev offer to sell papers will assist in the work. When thev attempt to sell a paper without the words "For Tran sient Sale stamped on the margin, it may be taken as almost conclusive evi dence that the paper has been stolen. Of course, if people will continue to buy tbe unstamped papers the thieves will continue their wo k. Fire This Horning. Fire broke out this morning about one o clock:, in an incubator, a targe wooden structure, on the premises of Mr. E. P. Bailey, on Ann, between Third and Fourth streets.
