Ol course the Opera House will he well filled to-night to see and hear the famous dramatic team, Mrs. . B. Potter and Mr. Kyrle Bellew, who will present their most successful pla?" "Charlotte Corday." : In view of the event the fol lowing sketch will be interesting: Mrs. Potter made hef professional debut at the Haymarkst Theatre in Lon don, ib September, 1886, in Wilkie Col Collins drama, "Man and Wife." She was kindly received by ' London -critics generally, who pronounced her as pos sessing marked dramatic ability. Later on in the same year she played at the Gaiety Theatre in "Civil War" and 'Loyal Love." In October. 1887. she made her first professional bow to an American audience at the Fifth Avenue Theatre, New York, in "Mile de Bre mier," and since that time has appeared indifferent plays in nearly every city where English is spoken. She is a Southern woman, born in New Orleans. Mr. Kyrle Bellew has accompanied Mrs. Potter ever since her London debut, and is an actor of wide experience and wonderful versatility. He has been for many years prominently before ths public both in the Old and New World, as the best romantic actor of the day. He possesses in a marked degree that indescribable quality called personal magnetism, and is withal a man of most prepossessing appearance. Mr. Bellew was born in London, but at an early age removed to India, where his youth was spent. He ran awav from Calcutta, and was a. sailor for two years. He afterwards had considerable experience as a journalist, and it was during this time that his natural love for the stage developed itself. For several years he played leading parts in California, where he became a great favorite. Daring his career he has played in every theatre in London in almost every leading play of modern times, together with all the Shakespearean pieces, and was lor a long time leading man in Wallack's Stock Company at Wallack s Theatre, New York, where be was ' almost wor shipped by metropolitan audiences, and particularly those ot the lair sex. Criminal Court. The Court met at 10 o'clock a. m. and disposed of the following cases: Beverly Scott, charged with assault with a deadly weapon.

Defendant Lane not taken; nol. pros, as to defendant Turner; verdict of guilty as to defendants Wilson and Jenkins. Judgment suspended on payment of costs. John Knox, false pretence. Defen dant submitted and was sentenced to IS months' imprisonment in the State penitentiary. W. B. Larkins, charged with embez zlement. Case continued until March term. Lonny Brown, convicted of highway robbery, was fined $25 and the costs. Court took a recess at 5 o'clock until 10 a. ou to-day. Passenger Train Bobberies. The Express Companies of the coun try are endeavoring to secure some na tional legislation that will give them better protection from, the desperate train robbers who now infest the country. and" who now hesitate at nothing in or der to carry out their schemes of plun der. Congress should enact all necessary and proper legislation in this case. It is not the Express Companies alone that are interested. It is the people of the whole country whose lives and whose property are imperilled. Look at the following record of pas senger tram rooDenes in tne unitea States during the past five years: Trains held up" in 1890, twelve; in 1891, six teen; in 1892, sixteen; in 1893, thirty three; in 1894, twenty-seven. Total number of trains held up, 104; total num ber of lives lost, 27; total number of people injured, 27. Governor Can's Message. Governor Carr's message is a book. It makes 76 pages ot type-written copy. and it would take about 20 columns of the Star, in solid type, to hold it. A hurried examination shows that it Is a carefully prepared State paper contain ing many excellent, practical recom mendations; but it is not likely that the present Legislature will be influenced by anything Governor Carr says, unless it shall accord with the views of the majority already formed. For this reason, in addition to the disinclination ot the masses to read very long mes sages, the message will, not excite the interest usually created by such papers. THE WEATHER. - U. S.

JOHN C. DAVIS ESCAPES. The Wilmington Embezzler Oat of the Insane Ajylum He Had Been Talking About Going Back to Wilmington and '.Fixing Matters. Up' Got Out ot , the Asylum ; Building Under the Cover of the Storm and the Darkness. : Raleigh News and Observer. Tonn C Davis has escaped from the Insane Asylum, where he has been con fined for three years. Tuesday evening, mst as the dusk came on, he stole from the building and escaped undercover of the storm. He was not missed at once and betore his escape was discovered he must have gone some distance from, the asylum. Davis bad almost entirely recovered his right mind, and would have been discharged after this month. - He seemed in good health, had not been violent -for a long while, and his insanity seemed to be almost gone. Some of the patients have been' talk ing to him about his record at Wilming ton, the trial and things connected with all the sensational events in which Davis figured, and he has said several times that he wanted, to go back to Wilming ton and "clear the matter up'." Lmnng his stay in the institution he has been questioned time and again as to his connection with the crimes for which he was tried at Wilmington, and he has always said, "I know nothing about anything of the kind." Persons who have talked with him say his mind seemed perfectly . blank regarding all that period in which the embezzlement took place. Wilmineton is probably the place Davis is heading for. No news ot him has been heard since his escape. This wandering off. Dr. Kirby, the superin tendent, saw. is probably a freak of the insanity with which Davis is afflicted. Davis embezzlements, his trial and conviction and his going to the asylum instead of the penitentiary caused i great sensation three years ago. A great church man was Davis in Wil mington, a liberal giver and a free handed donator. But he never knew the old adage, "Be just before you are generous." His gifts were either on paper or the cash came out of somebody else s pocket. tie wrecked filth btreet Methodist Church by his wild methods of pouring trust funds right and left. He was the Treasurer of this church, and when the crash came, the church people thought they were safe. But Davis had not paid out the money for the building, and the money ot the Methodists was lost in the crash. He had generously donated a fine set of chimes to the church, but bad not lastly paid one cent on them. In his hands several widows and or phans had placed their little fortunes and when the crash came their money was found squandered. The trial was one of the most interest ing New Hanover has ever known. The charges of embezzlement were so plain that the iury called him "guilty without a dissenting voice. The question of his sinity was then raised, and after much discussion and testimony by experts, he was declared insane. And so he came to the asylum instead of the' State prison. Davis was never put on trial for any of his numerous forgeries and embezzle ments. His counsel put in the plea of insanity when the first case against him was called; he played "crazy" to perfec tion in jail, and the experts summoned from abroad to examine into his condi tion, gave as their opinion that he was insane. He was sent to the asylum to be treated for insanity, and in the event of recovery was to have been returned to New Hanover county for trial. Star. BUILD MORE FACTORIES. The Wonderful Increase in Cotton Manu facturing in the South-But Still in Its Infaney North Carolina Heads the JUat. The News and Courier says; Two new cotton mills, it is announced, will be built in Wilmington, N. C, during the Spring, one on the old plan of pay ing up the old stock at once, and the other on the instalment plan, which has given North Carolina as many mills as there are in five or six of the other Southern States put together. Why not try the same plan more generally in South Carolina? It builds mills, and mills are what we want most just now, We reprinted from the Spartanburg Herald a few days ago a list of eight cotton factories which pay out $127,000 in dividends twice a year. -And now the Herald adds that "the dividends of the factories constitute only a small part of the benefits to be derived from build ing them. Yorkville and other towns which are "thinking about" mill build ing will take notice. The dividends are a mighty good thing in themselves, and they are but "a small part" of the good derived. Pass around the subscription list, neighbors, and remember that he gives twice who gives for two mills. The Atlanta Journal says: "Some idea of the wonderful ' growth of cotton manufacturing in the South may be gathered from the fact that the cotton mills in the Carolinas and Geor gia now have 600,000 more spindles than all the cotton mills in the South coin bined had in 1890. No other section of the country has in the same period made such progress in any line of industry. Looking back be yond 1890 we get another impressive view of this industrial advance. In 1880 the total capital invested in cotton mills in the South tos $22,000. 000. In 1894 it was 1108.000,000, an in crease of nearly 500 percent, in fourteen years. During this period the number of cotton mills in the south increased from 180 to 425; the number of looms from 14.323 to 68.205: the number of spindles from 667.754 to 3.023,859 ! The total number of cotton spindles in the country is about 15,000.000. Of these - the South has over 3,000,000 nearly five times as many as it had -four teen years ago. North Carolina leads the Southern States in this industry. She has 158 mills (nearly as many as the whole South had in 1880), 743,299 spindles, and 14, 876 looms. South Carolina comes second with 61 mills, 780.590 spindles, and 20,004 looms. Georgia is third with 69 mills, 692.764 spindles and 13.522 looms, and Alabama stands fourth with 80 mills, 264,458 spindles and 4,019 looms. ' But great as has been the progress of cotton milling in the South, it has Just begun to grow. The next fourteen years will advance it in even greater propor tion than the last fourteen. A Hew Manufactory to Be Started. The Star learns from good authority that a new enterprise a factory , for the manufacture of brooms and veneering will be started in Wilmington soon.

By Southern Associated- Press. Raleigh, N. C, January 10. Two hours of the time of the House to-day was spent in listening to the Governor's message which contained about 2,uuu words. The Populists and Republicans then introduced bills upsetting past Demo cratic legislation, chiefly in the election law and the county government system now in operation. ' The Senatorial tight grows warmer it anything and it is now thought that the field is combined against Jeter rritcbard vwho is considered Butler s man accord ing to his alleged bargain with Congressman-elect Richmond Pearson before election. Candidate Mott, who is considered by many probably the most sagacious of the candidates, says that the complexion ol the fight may change when election time comes, and he said this with seeming sureness of effective opposition to de velop aeainst Pritchard. Only one copy of the Governor's message was prepared, and it would therefore be read to the Senate to morrow. This was criticized by some. One Republican member introducing his bill in the House called it a bill "To secure a free ballot and a fair count.' Another Republican called his a bill "To find out whether the people of this State had a richt to srovern themselves, A motion to adopt the rules of the last Senate until new rules could De adopted was defeated, and the Senate proceeded to business without rules, while the House adopted the old rules, This is understood to mean that a reso lution will be passed taking the appoint ment of committees out of theJiands of the President of the Senate. Senator Abell, Democrat, introduced a bill to make six per cent, .the legal rate of interest. Senator Mewborne, Populist, intro duced a bill to repeal the charter of the State Farmers Alliance and to restore the old charter which was amended by the last General Assembly.

Waddell has alt along been a cocs:stent Republican, repf resenting a wing of the party opposing iuc lacuun represented uy uco. j. scurf loch, but inline late campaign forgot the i i - g r f principles ot this party, and at the crack of the co-operationist's whip, not only fell into line himself and supported the fusion ticket, but carried his faction with him.: As a reward for his success tul work, he deserves a better position than a cletkahtp.

Commissioners Meeting Liquor Licenses Granted A Negro Seriously Cut With a Bazor. Star Correspondence Vineland, N. C, January 9. The Board of County Commissioners met in regular session in Whiteville Monday, probably the largest crowd of people were here that was ever known to come to town at one time when the occasion was no more than a meeting of the Com missioners. Trade was very good. Mr. F. T. Mills sold 1 twenty or twenty five horses at reasonable prices. The Board of Commissioners, not fin ishing on Monday, assembled again Tuesday. License to retail spintous liquors were granted to R. L. Trulove, E. H. Cook, T. M. Alexander, I. A. Wat- kins. M. Teddar and J. T. Lamb. Mr. J. T. Best was appointed keeper of the county home for the poor and in firm. A fracas occurred about five miles above here Monday night, which result ed in I. M. George splitting Fratk Bright's neck open with a raz ir. It is thought Bright will die. George is at large. Both are colored men. The New Cotton Faotory. The new cotton factory to be built in Wilmington shortly, will be known as the "Wampum Mill." This is the name decided upon at a meeting of the direc tors held yesterday. The committee appointed a few days ago to obtain subscriptions to the capi tal stock of $100,000 have already se cured $10,000 of this amount, with scarcely an effort on their part, and are confident that there will be no dfBculty in securing the remainder. About County Government. A prominent j Eastern Republican re marked in the Yarboro yesterday, says the News and Observer, that he looked for some wild legislation here within the next sixty days. He said that the West ern Republicans are in the saddle, and that they do not lully understand con ditions in the East. For this reason he looks for legislation which will be un satisfactory and injurious to the East. Among the changes which he expects is the substitution of a new system of county government which will put many Eastern counties under negro domina tion. This, he feels sure, will create such dissatisfaction as to cause a rever sion of sentiment in the East favorable to Democracy. Like Judge Russell, this Republican does not lavor negro rule over white Deonle, but unlike the Judge, he thinks that a uniform system of county government must obtain through out the State, j Freshet in the Cape Fear. Observer Graham, in his weather synopsis yesterday, reported a rapid rise in the Cape Fear river at Favette ville 31 feet one inch in 48 hours; the government gauge yesterday, morning showing 87 feet. The following dis patch was received from the bureau at Raleigh: j "Unusually high stage of Cape Fear river probable, and dangerous floods on omer rivers oi eastern inunu aiuima. . 1 ; i T?
