Weaver, ol Onio; Mr. Bryan's name was received with applause, the whole convention standing cn chairs and waving hits; a gigantic wcoden cross, surmounted by a golden crown. was brought in and carried around the hall; the call of States resulted in Bryan receiving 1,04a votes and Norton of Cmcago 327.

Senator cannon, of Utah, who bolted -the St. Louis Republican convention, has reconsidered and will bolt back and support Mc Kinley. o l nis Cannon Is of the small bore kind. A Georgia man the other day sent candidate Bryan a 47-pound water melon. Mr. Bryan didn't tackle it alone but like a clever feliow shared it with the press fellows in Lincoln.

Supposing the Republican vote West of the city to be unbroken there would be something in this, but this year there will be thousands of votes in the rural districts cast for the Democratic Presidential tirfet which have heretofore gone for the Republican party. The Star appreciates the follow ing irom its very clever contem porary the Salisbury World, which, by the way, did some pretty good work for silver itself: "It is not too late to congratulate our esteemed contemporary the Wilmiogton Star, over the"Victory of silver in North Carolina. The Star's work in be half of the white metal was perhaps the ablest and most effective of any journal in North, Carolina." Some of the Eastern gold organs are still trying to persuade us that there is plenty of money. Well, if so, wnydoes the Republican na tional platform promise to coin all the silver that can be hauled to the mints, when other nations give their consent? If we have enough, why coin more? . i ne iNew York limes has some thing, to say about "McKinley and honest money Democrats." Neither "honest money" Democrats nor any other kind of honest Democrats should have any thine to do with McKinley. The honest Democrat will do his level best to knock him out. NEW AD VEETISBME1TT8.

IilghtniOR Straek Many Flaoea in the City But No Serious Damage Beanlsed. An electric storm ofj considerable severity passed over the city yesterday evening about six o'clock; but fortu nately no serious damage resulted. At the powerhouse of the Wilming ton Street Railway Company an arma ture of the railway generator was blown out, causing delay in the running of cars. At the foot oi Princess street, light ning struck and shivered the glass globe of the electric light, but did no other damage there. J At the residence of Mr. L. L. Boon, on North Seventh street, near Chesnut, the bath room was slightly damaged. Metal fixtures iu front of the old Pur cell housebuilding were so charged with electricity that every one who chanced to touch the brasses in front of the windows was slightly shocked. Upon arrival ot a lineman at the place, where a wondering crowd of people had gathered, it was ascertained that ons of the Electric Light Company's wires bad fallen and caught upon the iron hooks attached to the balcony in front of the building. The wire was removed at once. Persons who came from Carolina Beacb says there was no storm there. Mr. Geo. H. Bellamy, who arrived from his farm in Brunswick couity, says he was caught in the storm and no ticed that several trees had been torn up and that the telegraph line was damaged considerably some poles having been torn to pieces. The store of Mr. James Elder, corner of E'eventh and Market streets, was struck, the lightning splintering the front door. Mr. Elder and his clerks, Mr. Williams and Mr. Walton, were severely shocked. Death of J. Fred. J. Hotton. The announcement of j the djath of Mr. J. Fred. J. Horton, who has been for the past five years connected with the Car Accountant's office of the Atlan tic Coast Line, will be heard by his many friends with much regret. He pfsitd away yes'.erday at his residence on Mul berry street, after a siort illncsi of con sumption, in the nmieenth year of his age. He was a clever, quiet, kind heart ed young nun, well liked by bis fellow emp'oyes and friends, and his death will be quite a shock to them. He was a member of the First Baptist chuic'i Sunday school, a regular at tendant of the church' and was a model ; Christian boy. He leaves a widowed mother, and a younger sister. His re : mains will be carried to his old home, Raleigh, for interment, leaving this morning at 9 20 o'clock. The funeral ; services will be conducted at the family residence by Rev. J. B.

Diaz, the apostle to the Cubans, will deliver a lecture on the Cuban war, at the Opera House Tuesday night, July 28th, for the; benefit of the new church fund of Brooklyn, Baptist Church. j Dr. Diaz is pastor of the Baptist Church in Havana and was compelled by Gen. Weyler to leave Cuba after hav ing been arrested and imprisoned,. charged with being in sympathy with the insurrection. His imprisonment caused a good deal of excitement at the time and numerous petitions were sent to Congress demanding bis release, he being at that time a citizen of the United States Dr. Di2z followed the for tunes of the Cubans' on tne battlefield, and consequently knows more about the war than any one else in the country. He has met with , great su:csj with his lectures His subject is an interesting one, the lecturer a gifted orator, and the cans: a worthy one, and all who fail to attend will miss a treat.

What is remarkable about this visit is, that the son was in Wilmington on an excursion a few days ago and went to the shops where his father worked. Both looked at each other but asked no questions, each sup posing the other dead until after the son returned to Florence, when the 'General" found out it was his son from whom he had been so long separated, and conceived the idea of making him a visit. .

I It is expected that the Railway Com mission will take a hand in the rate war at an early date. They will seek to se cure a reduction of local rates, so it is said. ! A Populist accused the Democratic party of stealing the Populist platf orm in the presence of F. H. Busbee and other gentlemen. Mr. Busbee replied that the National Convention shaped its platlorm alter the Democratic platform in this State. The fact is. said Mr. Bus bee, "We adopted the present national platform in North Carolina before the Pooulist party was born." i There is evidently something in the air, relative to the taking down of the McKinley . ticket, which has not been made public. Nearly every Republican in Raleigh, except John Nichols, denies that the ekctoral ticket will be taken down. Jim Young would not have de clared himself for the Populist National ticket without consulting Judge Russell. The question is being asked, where does Russell stand? Is he with Loce Harris and Jim Young? Senator Pritcbard is de cidedly firm in his stand against putting down the McKinley electors, j He is quoted to have remarked in the Park Hotel last week that be would retire from the U. S. Senate and take to plow ing a bull in Madison county if McKin ley was not supported by North Carolina Republicans. j O.ho Wilson says that if the Popu lists do not endorse Bryan he will come out third in the race. It is no secret that the Republicans and Populists', and especially the latter, are mating sirenuous ertirts to get to gether. A leading Populist sas that if Bryan is not endorsed no power on earth can . keep the Republicans and Popul sks apart. ! Loi.

Editor Star Will you allow me through your columns to call the atten tion of the owners and managers of the bath house at Ocean View to the im portance of protecting the clothing of their patrons while in bathing by lock ing the room doors and only allowing a certain number to each room at one time. I mention this because some vis iting ladies who were here the present week with one of the excursions com plained that after coming out of the water tbey found that others bad gone into the same rooms they occupied and paid for, their clothing badly, scattered. and one or two articles missing.: There was also complaint in reference to being charged full fare for meals and after long and patient waiting receiving poor fare and rations tremendously short.

STEAMER COMMODORE Clostly Watched by Bevenue Cotters Col fax and Bomwell in Charleston Hat bar. The little filibustering stesm:r Com modore wbich came to Wilmington last Summer and was detained several months, until released by the U Vitcd States authorities, is now engaging the attention of the people of Charleston, SC. The News and Courier of yesterday says that lor a week or more pist it has been very evident that scmethingwas about to bappen. Th:re has been an al most feverish action among the Cuban smypathis'.rs in the city. There have been consultations and consultations at the various places where the Cubans congregate. When the Commodore lef Johnston's coal wharf three days ago it was announced that she would not leave port for several days, as Paul F, Roj), who is known as the "agent, was absent irom the city on business. Some people believe he was in New York consulting with the Cuban Junta. Whether Rojo bought the boat or not is not known, but two days ago five small boats arrived from New York by the Clyde steamer. Capt. Thomas H. Morton, who is in command of the Commodore, examined the boats, tock two, but rejected the others because, it was reported, they could not carry enough freight. O.her boats were after wards purchased in the city. They were immediately painted green, to match the Commodore, and put on board. On Thursday afternoon the Wilming ton cutter, the Colfax, arrived in port and dropped anchor alongside the Com modore. Every one wondered what she had come for. Yesterday a number of Cubans appeared in the city. The Cubans do not look like the "rank and file," but like hoi aristoi A number of them reg istered at the St. Charles Hotel. Those which seemed to be the most prominent were Martino Brito, New York; Jose Barios, New York, and Santiago Arango, also New York. Who they were, what they were doing here, etc., they posi tively declined to say. At do clock last evening a ripple of excitement was caused by the arrival in port of another cutter. This was the Boutwell. She steamed into port and anchored near the Colfax. What the two cutters are doing here cannot be ascertained. . They cannot stop the Commodore from leaving, as she cleared in a perfectly legitimate manner at the Custom House yesterday, with arms and ammunition for Jacksonville, Florida. To Jacksonville she has a per fect right to go nnder the law. The cut ters can follow ber if tbey choose, and if she docs not go into Jacksonville, or attempts to transfer ber cargo at sea. can arrest her. That is. they could if they could catch her, but as the Commo dore's speed is vastly superior to that of either of the cutters, she will doubtless give them the slip. It was ascertained late last night that a consignment o: rifles reached the city yesterday ior the Commodore, The arms are in bundles of three and covered with canvas. Up to a late hour they were still on the Clyde wbaif. Shortly after midnight it became evi dent that the Commodore was preparing to move. There bad been lights aboard of her throughout the early hours of the evening, and a boat bad run down along side of the little filibuster carrying, it was said, the guns, which had come for her on the Clyde steamer. She got her anchor up and moved a little way up the stream. A beat left her side atd wect over towards the Colfax and it was be lived that some communication took place between the two vessels. Then the Colfax was seen to have up steam She came over t awards the city and cir cling around the Boutwell that was still lying quietly at andhor, she steered out across the harbor. The Commodore in the meantime swung slowly around and moved off slowly towards White Point buoy as though she was going out. The Colfax was going much the faster of the two. When the Commodore was down near the buoy the cutter was lying just off quarantine, and in these positions both boats slowed up and appeared to come to anchor again. At an early hour this morning each still held its place. It was supposed that the Commodore was moving down the harbor preparatory to going to sea at daybreak and that the Colfax was taking a position from which to follow her to advantage. Charleston. S. C, July 25. There were no startling developments in the case of the filibuster Commodori to-day. At an early hcur this morning she left her station and started across the har bor. The cutter Colfax promptly fol lowed her down to the quarantine and there both remained until this forenoon, when they returned to their former post Hons. During the day the cutter has had an officer aboard .of tbe Commodore three times, but for what purpose it is impossible to learn, as U. S. officials cannot be approached and Captain Morton of the Commodore, remains silent when spoken to. There is nearly a score of Cubans from New York in the city who are in constant com muni cition with the agent of the Commodore and it is thonebt that they are going on ber. and it is this that tbe Colfax proposes to prevent. v Two old sports who visit Wil mington reguiarly. Rem. L. Prempert of Louisville, Ky., and Emmet E. Levy, of Baltimore, arrived in the city yester day. WHOLE NO. 8.912 THIS WEEK ONLY. Until 6 p m. Friday July Slat. From time to time we have published articles from the pen of our most emi nent writers on tbe subject of eyesight. It would seem that we have left noth ing unsaid that ought to have been written in warning our people towards its proper use and preservation. Those suffering from some optical defect ate too often deceived into putting en glasses selected especially on account of some name given to the glass lens used, presuming . that the material used is that which gives or benefits the sight. Such is an erroneous conclusion. It is necsssarv in alt Cises ol impaired eye sight, no matter how simple its form,' that tbe person affected should apply first to a reputable examining oculo op tician, who understands the anatomy and the physiological parts of the eye and can rightly judge ot its mechanical need by scientific tests of refraction and accommodation, after which he adapts the glasses best made calculated to com pensate for the lacking parts. During a stay here of oxer two months Dr. Mat- tbez. at The Orton, has given the best evidence of not only the superiority cf bis skill and judgment as an optician but in the skilled workmanshiD he makes. His professional attainment and work has called forth many high encomiums from tbe best people of Wil mington, and now in place of one to en dorse him there are hundreds who are loud in praise of him. His stay here will be brought to a close Friday next. July 31st, and can be consulted up to and until 5 p m. of that day. Those who visit him this week aLd up until his closing hour will receive the same pre cise benefit and service as thesj who have applied to him at any other time. Tfaoere will be no postponing or re opening. He will positively close his office cn this day and hour. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. A Good Opportunity yyiLL be given all those who wish to visit Sontbport.
