VonGlahn's shoe store on Mar ket street near Front was forcibly en tered last Tuesday night, but whether for the purpose of robbery or with intent simply to do wanton injury to the stock of goods in the place is not clear. Upon opening the store yesterday morning the proprietor found ' that the desk and money-drawer bad been opened and ransacked, papers taken out and scattered on the floor, but no money had been left over night in the drawer, and it could not be ascertained that anything bad been taken. The counter, however, was covered with fine shoes that had been taken from the cases and cut with a knife so as to ruin them. Altogether, there were seventeen pairs of men's and ladies shoes, valued at about $75, practically destroy ed. It is thought that the store was en tered early in the evening. A lighted lamp is always left in the place at night, but that night, Mr. W. L. DeRosset, r whose store is next to Mr. VonGlahn's, says that when he closed his place of busine s shortly after 0 o'clock, he no ticed that there was no light in Mr. Von Glahn's store. The lamp was found on up per floor of the building yesterday morn ing. To police officer on that beat wa one of the new men on the force and probably did not notice that the lamp had been extinguished. Entrance to the store was gained by means of ladders on the premises in rear of the building with which the fellow reached the roof and descended through the scuttle, which wasjinfastened. There is no clue to the bold depredator, vet it is said that Mr. VonGlahn hasrea son to suspect some one." It is to be hoped that the guilty person will be found out and punished to tbe lull ex tent of the law. The same night a stable in tbe rear of Mr. Simon v Sanders' store, corner of Market and Second streets, was broken open and a large turkey gobbler was stolen. 8 truck by Lightning Mr. Julius Reaves dwelling, on Craig's alley, between Castle and Queen and immr,A and Third streets, was struck bv lightning last Tuesday night during the thnnr1fr arnrm. Rnrtunatelv the hOUSe was not damaged seriously and no one was hurt. This is tne second time mis year that this house has been struck by ugntmng. T AT i IVIOR By Amateurs et Abbie Ghadbourn Memo rial Hall Iisst Eremnfc. One of the best' amateur entertain ments ever in Wilmington was given last night at tbe Abbie Cbadbourn Memorial hall. The ease and grace with which every one connected with the affair rendered the several roles was indeed remarkable. The first part, "A Matrimonial Adver tisement, was a pleasing little romance, beautifully rendered by Mr. C. H. Robinson, Jr., and Miss Bessie May Gibson. Tbe audience was well pleased. and only regrets were expressed at its being so short. Part second contained many musical treats by Wilmington's favorites. In ad dition to which the audience had the very great pleasure of listening to a novel soloist, Miss Osborn, who charmed the audience by whistling in a most masterly manner. She was compelled to respond to repeated encores and each time seemed to gain favor with the audience. It is sincerely to be wished that a Wil mington audience will have the pleasure of hearing her again at no distant day. Messrs. Munson and Shoemaker per formed on the piano 'a duet with match less skill, sustaining their reputation as musicians of great merit. Miss Bridgers was encored after sing ing "Sleep, Love, Sleep," to which she responded sweetly. Miss Annie Adrian pleased the audi ence with the song, "Ah! Do'st Thou Love." She was encored vigorously, and deservedly so, for she possesses a voice rich and powerful, and gives promise of becoming a favorite in Wilmington mu sical circles. Miss Bridgeis and Mr. Emerson sang a duet from "Robin Hood,''- displaying their musical powers to marked advan tage. They are always well received by a Wilmington audience. Miss Schwarz. Wilmington's favorite singer, captivated ber bearers by her superb manner and the sweetness of her voice. She was, after singing two num bers, encored and responded sweetly. This ended the secnod part. The event of the evening was Part Third, this being a beautiful little comedy entitled "Per Telephone." Each of the characters in this trying little scene was admirably sustained. Miss Anna McRee as "Nan Cnzzin," was just charming. She showed a thoroughness with her diffi cult role seldom attained by amateurs. Miss Bessie Wiggins as "Miss Mary Hal come," rendered the character perfectly, and by her charming manner won the admiration of the entire audience. Nora" (a servant), as rendered by Miss Maggie Brown, reflected great credit on this young lady. The role was difficult, but Miss Brown was quite equal to the task and deserves especial mention. Mr. E. T. Huggins as "Guy Harling," and Mr. J. Harrington as "Ned Austin," ac quitted themselves admirably and dis played much talent in this line. With this ended one of the most suc cessful entertainments of a similar nature ever given in the city, and it is hoped the managers in this enterprise will soon favor the public with either a repetition of this or something of a like nature equally as good.

MNG Tbe Firmer' and' Merchants' National Bank Will Make a Net Loss of About Twenty Thousand Dollars Forgery Added to Embezzlement. The News gives the following addi tional details of the Holland embezzle ment in Charlotte. To a News reporter Dr. John H. Mc- Aden, President of the Bank, said: "Holland's shortage is between 860.- 000 and $75,000. Covering in his pro perty and. his bond, tbe bank expects to sustain a loss of from $15,000 to $20,000. 'Une of Mr. Holland s methods was to show a credit on his books of money to his account in other banks, when in vestigation shows that these credits were false." Mr. Holland was treasurer of the buildine fund of the First Presbvterian Church, and had in his hands $27,000 of tbe church money. The greater part of this, if not all, had been disbursed as the work progressed, and the report that some of the church money was lost by his failure, is probably not true. A com mittee consisting of Messrs. J. C. Bur roughs, George E. Wilson and Thomas Grier, made an examination into the matter and is to make a report at six o'clock this afternoon. It was reported that Mr. Holland was placed under arrest this morning, but the News can state upon authority that he has not been arrested. It can fur ther state upon authority that he will be prosecuted for embezzlement at the next term of the United States Court. to be held in this city next June, and that he will not be arrested in, the mean time should he make no movement to flee the country. This, then, is the present status of a case that has stirred Charlotte as nothing has done since the failure of the Bank of Mecklenburg, The annexed paragraphs are from the Observer ol yesterday; The deeper the affair is probed the more heinous it appears. Yesterday morning it was discovered that to the catalogue of crime of which the ex-cash- ler had been guilty must be added the terrible offence of forgery. A note was found on which he forged the name of Mr. J. H. Sloan for $10,000, The note was on the bank, Mr. Sloan was noti fied eariy yesterday morniqg. He was greatly distressed over the matter. He had such extensive business dealings with Mr. Holland, as cashier of the bank, and was one of his strongest sym pathizers. Said he: "I have extolled Mr. Holland so highly to all the banks outside of Charlotte,1-with whom I had dealings, and I never had anything to distress me more." It was at first reported that he had gotten Mr. Sloan (or $10,000, but that is not true. He got the bank instead of Mr. Sloan. It was also reported that Mr. J. D. Church was a loser to the ex tent of $3,000, but this proves by acci dent not to be true. Mr. Church had Eaid into the bank $3,000 which Mr. olland had failed to credit, but it was .known in the bank that Mr. Church had paid in the money, so the bank makes it good. Mr. Sloan states that as far as it can be ascertained the entries on bis account were correct and (had always been so. Mr. Holland has for years been a member of the board of deacons of the First Presbyterian Cnrch, It had often been the comment in the church, espe cially among the officers, that for years he had not taken communion. After the sad denouement took place, he said to a friend, who went to oner sympathy. "You often asked why I did not take communion. Now you know. I had this matter on my conscience, and I could not take communion." COOK VS. MEASES. The Criminal Circuit Court Cue Beady for the Supreme Court. The papers in the Criminal Circuit Court case C. A. Cook vs. O. P. Meares have been prepared by Col Jno. D. Taylor, Clerk of the Superior Court, and will be sent to the supreme Court at Raleigh this week. fudge Hokes judgment is a brief document. After reciting the facts in the case, that Cook was elected Judge of the Court before the act creating the Court became a law, etc., ne says: "And the Court being of opinion upon the foregoing facts that the relator of the plaintiff is not entitled to the said office of Judge of said Circuit Criminal Court for the county of New Hanover and others, but that the defendant is en titled to said office, doth declare and adjudge that the defendant O. P. Meares is entitled of right to the office of Judge of the Circuit Criminal Court composed of the counties of New Hanover and others, and that the plaintiff and his sureties to the prosecution of this action pay tbe cost of this action, to be taxed by the clerk. Signed W. H. Hoke, ." Judge Presiding. The Farmers Are Coming. It is manifest that the next few years will witness a tide of immigration to North Carolina from the farming sec tions of the North. The Star has re' ceived the following letter, andjwould say to the writer thatjhe cannot do bet ter than come straight to Wilmington, where he can secure all the information he desires : Helmer P.

We are all farmers and would like to see one of your papers. Yours, very truly, J. H. Denny, Helmer P. O., Luce Co., Michigan. Cronenburg Took 'Em. - About fifteen members of the Eastern Dog and Game Protective Association were photographed in a group, by Cro nenburg, at their shooting grounds yes terday. As the inducement held out was the statement that a reproduction of the photograph would be printed in two of tbe leading sportsmen s papers of the country, every really ugly member of the club was present, and if Cronen burg's camera had not been a very strong one it could not have stood tbe strain No doubt the local artist's photograph will be excellent, but what it look like after it goes through the hands of the photo-engrayer and then thiough the printing press of Forest and Stream and The Chicago Field, is something for the future to determine.

Norfolk Virginian, , That Vice President St. John, of the Seaboard Air Line, is held in high esteem by the railroad employes of the West, who know him best, has just been strongly demonstrated by the pre sentation to him of a beautiful gold watch, a gift of the locomotive engineers of the Chicago, Kock Island and Pacific Railroad Company. Friday last Messrs. C. J. Ringe, of Trenton, Mo., and John Lacy, of Chica go, a committee sent by the engineers of the Rock Island system, arrived here and went to the office of Mr. St. John, in Portsmouth, only to find that he had gone South.
