Oilea Aode'ton Baih - lien Drank Anderaon Arreaied and Held for Trll StXt Monday, i A cutting iff ray. of which those who witnessed it give exactly opposite ac counts, took place last Wednesday night oetween 7 and 10 o'clock, at the home of Mr. Giles Anderson, an emplqye of the Wilmington Cotton Mills, living on Q leen street between Second and Third John Morgan Turner, a young white man, was severely if not dangerously cut with a knife. It appears, that I; the two men were drunk, and that Turner was taken to Anderson's home and put to bed early in the evenings and when Anderson came home in a half drunken state be demanded an explanation why Turner was in his apartment. His wife tried to explain and a fight between the two men ensued in which Anderson cut Turner with a knife in the face and neck several times and once in the back. Blood flowed freely and it was a horrible sight. Anderson claims that when he; cut Turner, the latter had him down on the floor, beating him. Oa theother hand, it is claimed that Anderson slashed Tur ner while he was in bed asleep. In the melee, Anderson's! wife, trying to sepa rate the two men, got one of her hands severely cut. i- : The wounded man was too weak to attend court yesterday morning.

Linden Grove United Ancient Order of Druids held a- grand anniversary cele bratlon at their lodge room in Odd Fellows' Hall last night. - The hall was crowded to its utmost capacity, and the adies composed the greater part of the assembly. , A regular programme was prepared and carried out. The principal features were the ad dresses delivered. Dr. J. ; H. Dreher delivered the ad dress of welcome, and spoke for about; ten minutes, stating the object of the occasion, ; and - extending a most cordial ' welcome to all present. He was followed by Mr. George , Zeig ler Deputy Grand Arch of " the Grand Grove of Virginia, who delivered an address on ' Ancient DrutdiSm." Hep spoke for nearly thirty minutes and gave a very graphic and descriptive account of the history, origin, manners, customs and religion of the ancient Druids. His address was full of historic facts and val4 uable information. ' It showed great study and . preparation and was a pro-' duct ion which entitled the author to great credit. . C i. ' l The next on the programme was an address on "Modern Druidism" by A J, Marsnaii, fast Area. This address con tained a sketch of the order from its origin up to the present time, embracing its principles and objects. ' He spoke ia very high terms of some of the members here and gave a feeling description of some of the benevolent work of the order in this city. His .addresa was much ecjoyed and complimented by many of the audience. If the members of the order lived up to the principles as described by Mr. Marshall, Druidism will prove one of the blessings to any community in which it operates. The concluding speech was made by Mr. Godfrey Hart,' who fcf.er making some very pleasing remarks, invited all present to partake of the grand spread that had been prepared on tables which encircled the hall. Mr. Jas. D Hume and Mr. H. G. Sanders, in charge of the hall, saw that every one was bountifully helped and no one left without being waited upon. ' The feast was prepared by Mr. A. P.

The tables were handsomely deco rated for the occasion. The guests left' at twelve o'clock after having spent! a pleasant evening. Vincent Ca'meirero's string band enlivened the occasion with mus e during the evening. XT. 8. CUTTER COLFAX. Betaraed From Charleston Cpu Hitihell Saya Her V.ait There Had Nothing To Do With the 8ttatner Ccmnailcra. The U. S. revenue cutter Colfax, which was thought by many to have followed the Commodore from South- port to Charleston, S. C. returned to the city yesterday. A Star reporter called on the genial commander, Capt. Mitchell, last night, and gleaned the following information concerning the Colfax's visit to Charleston: Capt. Mitchell said : It was by mere accident that the Commodore and the Colax happened at Charleston about the same time, although the Commodore left first and the Colfax afterward.: It wss one of our regular cruises, and while at sea we did not see or encounter the Bfip. The Colfax hid received no instructions from the Government to watch this ship, as she cleared in the regular form, with proper papers, and therefore it was unnecessary to watch her any more than we should any other American vessel. Both ships made the trip in thirteen hcurs, but the Colfax could have run much faster; and in the event the Government should want her to catch this supposed filibus ter, I feel confident we could overhaul her. ., j , We returned here this afternoon at five o'clock. When outside, encountered a severe gale. The wind must : have blown at the rate of sixty miles an hour, and the heavy seas completely, swept over the Colfax. When we left Charles ton, Capt. Hughes, of the Commodore, had gone North, and the crew were dis charged. The little steamer was tied up at one of the docks, presenting the same appearance it did while here" Polk Millar to Jjaotare ia Wilmington.

COMPULSORY PILOTAGE CONSIDERED BY THE WILMINGTON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. A Buolation Btpwted by the Committee on Pilotage Diaonaaed-It Urges Aboli tion of the L w Argcmenie for and Against . the Change The Q lestton Referred for Confereeee and Btpwt at the Next Meeting of the Chambar. A special meeting oLthe Chamber of Commerce was he'd yesterday afternoon ia . the directors' room of the National Bank of Wilmington. Upon calling the meeting to order, resident Chad bourn stattd that it had been called fora special purpose, to con sider compulsory pilotage, and he would suggest that the committee' on pilotage who bad the matter in consideration read theirreport. . . 1 - : Mr. Samuel Northrop, in presenting the resolution cf the committee, said that he was glad to see the Pilots' Asso ciation represented here and invited to participate in the sutj:ct about to be dtscirs'sed. He ' further said that he thguht some remedy should be eff itted to stop excessive pilotage; that the Chamber should consider the interests of all concerned. The resolutiocs were as follows: Whereas. Under the laws of the State, compulsory pilotage is exacted upon sailing vessels in the coastwise trade (even when towed by tug boats navigated by United States, or State pi lots) whether the services of the pilot are desired or not; and whereas, After re peated complaints are received by the shippers at this port, from masters and owners of sailing vessels, of excessive port charges, especially tb t of compul sory pilotoge; and whereas, Congress having appropriated vast sums of money for the Improvement of the various har- oors, hayiOK placed light houses, buoys and beacons guiding the nivigator into anv harbor on t ur coast; Therefore Be - Reso.ved. That Congress be urged to enact a general law under its Constitutional prerogative, tbat sailing vessels from one United States port to another be not required to pay S ate pilots lor services not desired but tbat Slid sailing vessels mav be put upon the same footing as coastwise steamers, hav ing an experienced navigator licensed by the United States. After the resolution was read, Mr. Geo. Harriss. by-request, read the State law governing pilots. Mr. Harriss said he did not believe that the abolishing of compulsory pilot age would affect business. In days gone by, all that the pilots had to guide them up the river were the trees and other marks upon the banks, and be could recall many ' pilots who bad lost their lives; that the pilot boat Mary K. Sprunt was lost at sea. If you take away the business of the pilots, he said, you wilt take away all they have got. What wou'd be the re sult ot abolishing compulsory pilotage ? It would cause a rise in marine insurance, and it wilt not make any more ships come here. He said he knew of two insurance companies tbat had withdrawn from here. -That a ship now lying at Southport, ab-ut two weeks ago had four anchors out, but slipped her anchors and ran over the bar. striking two or three times, and if it bad not have been for the timely arrival of the pilots, who had great difficulty in boarding her. she would have gone in aihore and it would have cost her own ers about a 81.003 to get her out. That if compulsory pilotage is abolished the pilots when they fiid a ship in a tight place will charge them whatever they please to get them out; that during the struggle between the North and the South the North had offered the pilots large sums ot money to pilot, their war ships in here, which they indignantly re fused. - Mr. C M. Whitlock said that he knew the Chimber of Commerce had the welfare of Wilmington at heart, but wcu'dlike to know how the abolishing of compulsory pilotage would directly benefit the city; he woutd like to hear ome reasons relative to that point of view. Mrr J. W. Craig, who was'present, rep resenting the pilots, said that while other boys had had the privilege of go ing to school, that he had to serve nine or ten years' apprenticeship so as to be able to fulfill the position of a pilot; that from the beginning of the war to its close, there were no men more true than the pilots. Daring the war many were sent to various foreign ports to run the blockade. When the war was over, many were sleeping in foreign graves and many were in prison. Tbat they bad. been ottered every induce ment to pilot the enemy's ships, which they refused to do, -acd that be knew one pilot who was offered, at Hampton Roads, a large cun of money to pilot their ships into Fort Fisher, t His an swer was "Nevei! Neve ! ' and when he was told that be could then consider himself a prisoner of war, he answered. "I will - have plenty of company.1 He said the ' pilots have; looked to the interest of Wilmington That owing to the improvements made by the United States Government' ships of larger tonnage were now com ing up to the city, and reqaired more skill to handle them. That New York city did have compulsory pilotage until she became able to support a system .of pilots. To abolish compulsory pilotage is to destroy the whole system of pilot age; and if you destroy even part, .you destroy the. whole. That when sail boats were needed in their business they had bought them at - an expense of $3,000, and now they have a steam pilot boat, which cost' them $25,000. If you abolish compulsory pilotage, it would make wreckers and looters; that he did not make this as a threat, but it is what would take place. V t Mr. C. E. Borden said that he thought they were looking at it from the wrong standpoint. By passing the bill. Con gress would make it a universal law, That the ma j ority of vessels coming in will take a pilot. If a sbip.meets with an accident coming up without pilot, that it will be the captain's and owner's loss. That abolishing compul sory pilotage will have no effect upon Insurance.: It is very difficult to get a cargo imu'ed here; that be had to send to New York city to get one insured. They did not intend to wipe out the pilots. The interest of the city is at stake. Be fore New Inlet was closed, and there were two bars, it took a vessel "two or three days to get op the river. That when a vessel engaged a tug to bring her up the river, if the man at the wheel on board the vessel would watch the tog, there would be no danger in getting up. He said be understood the pay for the pilots for one month past had been only $12 each; if the pilotage was less, there would be more vessels to pilot,; and hence a greater amount of money. That he bad to ship tome phosphate rock by rail, when he could have gotten it cheaper if be had shipped by vessel, but the p jrt charges and pilotage were too great. . ; ..." - Mr. Borden introduced the -capt tin of the schooner Roger Moore, a vessel which runs between this port and the West Indies. . ;U", . The captain said he had been here thirty times with his vessel and that three times he was unable to get a pilot. I a other places, he said, they " had a . station where, you could always' find a pilot boat, '" ",.iy r 1' Mr. Geo, Harriss said he had told the captain that he ought - to make his com plaint to the commissioners. Mr. Geo. Harriss said the stevedores' charges were less here than at other ports, and tbat in regards to shipping by rail that the advantage the railroads had was, that they delivered the goods Into yatds or warehouses; that - he - could f ur nisaall the vessels, if Wilmington could furnish the cargoes. . Mr. Craig read a letter from Dr. W. G. Curtis; ex-quarantine physician, who said: - ' Having learned that renewed efforts are being made to abolish the compul sory pilotage or so cripple the business that, it will- not be worth following, -I I take the op portunity of saying that during mv long experience as quarantine officer, I found great advantage in the co-operation of pilots; that I consider them to be, so to speak, the picket line of sani tary defence. I found them always watchful, and soon learned tbat they were quick to d scover any , Irregularity on board a ship. They were the friends of the quarantine system of North Caro lina and I am glad to give tbat testimony in their behalf." A motion was made to ad j aurn, bat It failed. x - The matter was further discussed by Messrs. McRae, Borden. Hirrtss, Whit- lock, Morton. Meares and Taylor. M. J. W. Craig said if the pilotage was too excessive, tbat it might be re duced. ' " Mr. C E. Borden then made a mo tion that the Messrs.- Craig confer with the pilots, then the Chamber of Com merce committee, and the pilots and the Board of Navigation confer together and report at the next regular meeting, which will be held the first Thursday next moath. The meeting - then ir journed. THE UEWBEttS FAIR. 1 Foot B oea to Take Plaoe 2ft xt Thursday Open to the State The Pits. ' Star Correspondence ; Newbern, N. C, February 20.
