. day Night
Thursday evening, the 81st. will wit
ness the appearance of the premier of
American stars.JMr. Sol Smith Russell,
who will present his latest and greatest
success, "The Rivals." This play is
meeting with unbounded approval by
press and public, and is said to be one
of Mr. Russell's greatest character por
trayals.' Sol Smith Russell is justly pre u 4 of
his position . on the American stage.
Critics regard him as an artist, and that
the public agree with them is evinced
by the crowded houses which greet him
in all his engagements throughout the
country. Mr. Russell is more than an
actor. He is a man lof keen percep
tions, limitless wit and genuine hu
manity. One of the marked features
about his humor, that few other come
dians possess, is its refined and culti
vated character. His pathos is equally
true and affecting, and takes the au
dience with . him quite as fully as his
humor. His popularity never wanes,
but waxes stronger with advancing
years, and those who remember him in
youth are all the more attached to him
in the maturity of his powers.
Sale of reserved seats will take place
Tuesday morning at Yates'; price $1.50,
except for the first two and the last four
rows of seats in the parquet, which will

special effort of the management. Gen

The horse stolen from the stable of
Mr. W. F. Alexsnder, on Middle Sound
as told in the Star was found yes
terday by the owner in this city; but the
thief a young negro man about twenty
years of age had made his escape.
The thief with the horse came to Wil
mington early Friday morning, and en
deavored to sell the animal to Mr.
Breckenridge, of the firm of Brecken
ridge & Beery. Mr. Breckenridge sus
pecting that something was wrong ques
tioned the young negro, who told a
plausible story; that his father farmed
at Rocky Point during the present year.
making a two-horse crop there, but be
coming dissatisfied had decided to sell
out and. move to Rocky Mount. That
he had already sold one of the horses,
and told bis son to carry the other horse
to Wilmington and sell it, and take the
train for Rocky Mount, and as he (the
son) wanted to leave on the first train,
be would sell the horse for twenty-five
dollars. Mr. Breckinridge told the ne
gro to put the horse in his lot, and went
with him to see the lad's father who, the
young negro said, was at a house in
"Dross Neck;" but on the way to this
place the negro gave Mr. Breckinridge
the slip and bas not been seen since.

Bpselal Traine From Wilmington Next
Thursday and Friday Tare One Cent
a Mile Each Way.
Secretary Harker. of the Border Ex
position ot the Cirohnas, informs the
Star that the Seaboard Air Line will
run special trains over the Carolina Cen
tral to the Maxton Fair next Thursday
and Friday. These trains will leave
Wilmington in the early forenoon and
leave Maxton on the return trip late in
the afternoon, giving about six hours for
visitors to the Fair each day.
Connection will be made with the At
lantic Coast Line both ways.
As the fare on these two special trains
will be but one cent a mile each way,
there should be a large crowd from Wil
mington and all intermediate stations.
The Fair at Maxton next week will un
doubtedly be the best ever held there.
Unusual efforts have been made by the
management, and they have secured
more exhibits and more features of inter
est than ever before.

Thursday and Friday. October SOth and

Parents who permit nurses to take
their children on the streets should be
very careful. Yesterday a little child
was left in a baby carriage . near the
"Merry-go-round." on Princess street,
while the nurse went in to show her skill
as an equestrienne. The child, becom
ing alarmed, cried as if its. heart would
break, and a bystander, whose sympa
thies were aroused by the cries of the
child, went to the nurse and appealed to
her to go to the child and take care of it.
But she was' so charmed with her skill in
riding the untamed wooden steeds that
no entreaties could move her.. After
exhausting her supply of nickels she car
ried the child home and no doubt satis
fied the mother that the little one had
heartily enjoyed its ride.
Change in the Drag Business.
Mr. H. L. Fentress, the well known
and popular "Brooklyn druggist, has
purchased the stock of Mr. Geo. L. Har
mon, at 128 South Front street, and will
carry on the business there under the
name of Fentress' Pharmacy. A thor
oughly competent pharmacist will be in
charge. It is not Mr. Fentress inten
tion, however, to abandon his old and
well established business at No. 521
North Fourth street. That will be con
tinued. The difference now is that he
has two drug stores instead of one.
City Count
Fred Hill and Peter Bryant, colored
men, were arraigned before Mayor Fish-
blate, charged with violation of a city
ordinance in working as scavengers
without having procured license. They
were each fined $10 and adjudged to
pay the costs. Mr. c. Y. Lockey, as
attorney for the defendants, gave notice
that his clients refused to pay the fine
and a writ of habeas corpus would be
asked for from Judge Meares. to test the
case. In the meantime, the defendants
remain in the eustody of the Chief of

The proceedings brought by H. L.
Dockery for possession of the Peniten
tiary were taken up again, in the Supe
rior Court this morning. The. various
tables inside the bar railing are covered
with law books. Each of the many coun
sel has a big pile. The trial so far has
resulted in a wordy war among the law
yers on technicalities. The prospects are
that this will continue throughout the
day. The defence is trying to prove that
the act creating the new Board was passed
after the directors were elected. "This
morning Mr. T. R. Purnell is on the
stand. The jury is composed of coun
trymen entirely. Five are Populists,
five Democrats and two are Republicans.
Capt. W. F. Drummond. the veteran
conductor on the Seaboard Air Line,
who has been ill some time, died last
night at Jenkins' Bridge, Va. The fun
eral will occur in Norfolk Sunday. Mr.
Drummond was one of the veteran con
ductors of the South, and was widely
known. .
A general reorganization of the
Southern Railway, it is said, will take
place November 1st. H. F. Smith will
be made general freight agent, with
headquarters at Washington;' J. F.
Drake, assistant freight agent, in Kich-
mond; Fitzgerald, assistant agent, in
Louisville, and Hudson Miller, assistant
agent, in Atlanta. This news your cor
respondent gets very straight. Other
changes may occur.
A 1 cent rate has been made for the
Colored Fair. It will be effective three
days.
The foot ball team of the Agricultural
and Mechanical College which has been
in Atlanta, is in Charlotte to day. The
team will play the Charlotte eleven to
day.
The North Carolina Swine Breeders
Association was permanently organized
yesterday at . noon. There was a good
attendance at the meeting of well-known
and successful hog raisers. The officers
are G. S. Watson, Biltmorc, President;
J. F. Holeward. Burlington, Secretary,
and Prof. Frank E. Emory, Raleigh.
Treasurer. This organization can do
much to further the interests of swine
breeders in this State.
On the thirteenth of November the
annual meeting ot the stockholders of
the Seaboard & Roanoke Railroad will
be held in Portsmouth. At the meeting,'
the annual election of officers will occur.
The meeting will be of particular inter
est to all those residing on the Seaboard
system.
The fakirs and "Hoochey-Koocheys
packed their "duds" yesterday and have
shaken the r air ground dust wnicn is
a peculiar variety from their trilbies.
A great many of them went to Maxton
to do the Border States Fair, while
others went to Atlanta. Not a few re
turned to New York.
The traffic of the Seaboard Air Line
just now is greater than it ever was, both
in the passenger and freight depart
ments. Freight trains on the S. A. L.
road are being run in sections, while
extra sleepers are attached to the vesti
bule every day. A Seaboard man said
yesterday that the company did not
have engines enough to transport their
trains. The gentleman remarked that
the Seaboard had recently received thir
teen new engines, but that they needed
twenty-five to do the present rush of
business.
The vestibule has had eight sleepers
attached to the regular train nearly
every day this week. Some of the
freight trains have passed here in three
or four sections.
The Exposition has been a great play
ing card for the railways. In fact, all of
them are doing all the business they
can. No better illustration of the pros
perity of the people could be given.
Yesterday a special train of ten coaches
passed through the city from Atlanta en
route to Norfolk. The train carried
the Fourth Virginia Regiment and Nor
folk Post Marine Band.

The Arena, of Boston, has arranged
to send Tudge Clarke to Mexico to write
a series of articles on Mexico, historical
ly, its present condition, and the silver
problem there. These articles will ap
pear in January and be magnificently il
lustrated. Judge Coble rules in the penitentiary
contest case, that testimony to show the
exact time the act was ratified is not ad
missible. This rules out Senator Dowd's
testimony. The Judge has dismissed
the jury, as only points ot law are in
volved. Congressman Settle is in the city. He
says Fusion is a certainty. The Popu
lists, he says, cannot accomplish any
thing without it. As to the electoral
ticket, he says there will be no division.

Hotly Contested Game of Foot Ball Be
tween University Teams of Georgia and
North Carolina at Atlanta.
Special Star Telegram.
Atlanta, GA., Oc 26. The Uni
versity of North Carolina defeated the
University of Georgia to-day in a hotly
contested game six to nothing. Fif
teen hundred people saw the came. The
white-and-blue was worn by hundreds of
Carolinians new living in Georgia.
Stephens, by a seventy-yard run, made
touch-down in five minutes. Whitaker
kicked goal -The game was hot from
beginning to end. Georgia, by good
rushing and heavy interferecce over
tackles, took the ball within two yards
of the goal; when North Carolina by a
supreme effort, uphill, carried Georgia
back ten yards.
Features of the game were ground-
gaining by Stephens, Moore, Collins,
Bacid. The right tackling of Butler,
Stanley, Merritt, Gregory and Hurley
was very creditable. White played
splendid centre. Carolina's interference
was ragged. The game was seen by
Governor Atkinson, Hoke Smith and
the fashion of Atlanta.
The city is full to-night of Virginia,
Carolina and Georgia students. North
Carolina, as usual, on top. The boys are
taking in the Exposition, and enjoying
the Southern Educational Association.
Profs. Winston, Alderman and Basker-
ville, of the University faculty, are here
enjoying tne sights with the students.
