The Star will be delivered by carrier at any point in the city at 12 cents per week, or 45 " cents per month. . The New York World says Mark Hanna "knows nothing of the higher politics or of the moral and intel lectual " influences which move the people," The . esteemed - World should know that the Republican machine manager who depended on moral and intellectual influences would mistake his calling and be as much out of place as an elephant at a chrysanthemum show. Mark knew what he was there for, what he had to depend on, and attended to busi ness. -, In that party dollars discount by large odds moral and intellectual influences. - A little while ago Mr. Cleveland issued a proclamation urging us all to return thanks because we had been walloped by Mark Hanna, and now Henry Watterson wants us to observe the 8th of January as a day of fasting and prayer. This transit from gay to grave, from rejoicing to humiliation, from praises to supplica tions, is entirely too sadden for the average American who can-'t exactly understand why that portion of the Democratic party which Isn't sad on account of the spoils they didn't get should wear sackcloth and ashes for even one day. As a party it Is quite robust and cheerful. Mr. Hanna has given offense to some of the Washington Repub licans by selecting a "sound money" Democrat as chairman of the com mittee of arrangements for the in auguration ceremonies on the 4th of March. This is, of course, as a rec ognition of the services rendered by the aforesaid s. m. D's. We presume that he would somewhat broadea the recognition by-permitting some of them to walk in the procession. In talking about his connection with the McKinley boom for the Presidency Mark Hanna said he de cided to begin that work two years ago, and when be talked about it Mr. McKinley put his honor" in his keeping, and. said 'there 'are some things I wil' not do for the Presi dency." Bathe did all thai.his man ager required him to do and did it without growling as far as the public knows, - One by one the, gold organs are lining up for the war on the green backs. The New York Times toes the mark thus: "Every agency en gaged in the campaign of education on the principles of sound currency should be maintained fu steady ac tivity until the cancellation of every legal-tender note presented and re deemed is made secure." They piped, very low on this before the election. Chicago is counting her big vote at the last election as proof that she has more people than New York. But it musn't be forgotten that Illi nois was one of the pivotal States in this election aod Cook county the pivotal one in Illinois, which brought Hanna to the fore with his cash and other seductions to swell the vote. There were two Republican Presi dential electoral tickets in the field in South Carolina at the last election, the Lily Whites, which received 5, C93 votes, and the Black and Tans, which scored 4,215. Both distanced the Palmer decoy ticket, which got only 824, while the Bryan electors got 58,891. '; Congressman Evans, of Kentucky, feels grateful to the gold men for the services they rendered in carrying that State for the Republicans and hopes they will keep on doing it some more.

' ; The mystery attending the disappear ance of Mr. Chas. M. Bonham last Fri day night (as told in the' Star) was cleared np Sundav afternoon by the dis covery of his dead body in the river near the foot ot Ann street. At an early hour last Friday morning, Mr. Bonham left his truck farm, aSout four miles from the city, and came to town, bringing with - him about $61 In money. He- was last seen alive that night about 7.80 o'clock, by two colored women, Rena Pearsall and Mary Jans Battle, in a Shed used as a warehouse for naf al stores on Water between Ann and i. Nun streets, talking with an other; colored woman, - Ross. Ella Hill". ""Bit ween' 8 and 9 o'clock of the same night Mr. Bonham's horse and cart were found near the railroad track on Water street, between Ann and Nun. Diligent search was made lor the owner, but proved fruitless. Foul piayjras sus pected, and a warrant was issued for the woman (Rose Ella Hill), who was ar rested and placed in the guard .bouse. The woman denied that she had been in company with Mr. Bonham and clalu'ed an alibi, saying that she was with a sailor, ' Bob .McKendrick'. on Friday night. Kendrick was also arrested, but failed to verify the Hill woman's state ment. , .-' :' All day Saturday search was made for Mr. Bonham, but without success. Sun day afternoon the river near where be was seen last was dragged by Larry Lowe, and about 4.80 p. m. the body was found. : ' ' r ".''";"';: -s " Y-V :; Coroner' Jacobs, who was present, viewed the body and had it removed to an undertaker's shop on North Third street, where it was examined by Dr. Shepard, who did not, however, deem an autopsy necessary. After being pre pared for burial the body was removed to the late home of the deceased. ... Dr. Saepard'said there were no marks of violecc; on the body. While in the city Friday Mr. Bonham callected rents for different stores owned by him. but only $3.61 in money, tax receipts for about $38.74. a pint bottle of whiskey and a newspaper were found on his person after death. Yesterday morning at 10 o'clock an in quest was held at the Court House, the following being impannelled as a jury by Coroner Jacobs: Dan'i Quinlivan (foreman), J. W. Galloway, Chas. Col lins. Thos. C. Miller (col), Alfred A Jordan (col.) and Isaac Brinkley (col.) Tne jary then adjourned until IS m. At 13 o'clock the jury reasiembled : and the testimony in the" case was began. ---Jr' 'f ; Hezekiah Bonham, son of the de- ; ceased, testified that he bad seen the body and recognized it as that of his father, Chas. M. Bonham. W. K. Vann, testified : "I was with Mr. Bonham Friday night last about 7 80 o'clock at Mr. A. C. Wessell's tftore. We talked about a set cf harness which 'he was thinking of buying from me. I took a drink with him and . a man named Martin. Saw Bonham take out a purse. the same as the one that was found on him Sunday, and pay the barkeeper fit teen cents. He had both paper and sil ver money in the purse. He was not drunk but bad been drinking." Fritz Punke, who clerics for Mr. Wes- sell, and Martin Adams (co'ored), cor roborated Mr. Vann's statemsnt. W. H. Todd testified : "Last Friday night the captain of the three-masted schooner Wm. T. dreen, lying at Nor throp's mill, and on which I was em ployed as watchman, sent me up to Mrs. Williamson's on an errand. While I was walking on the dummy 'railway track., which runs . up Water street, I came across a horse and cart between Ann and Nan streets. The horse was without a bridle and grazing alongside the track. Took hold of the horse and turned bim around and lead him ud Water street. 1 hollowed for its owner. but received no reply. I met a man who told me the horse and cart be longed to Mr. Chas. Boaham. I then blew my police whistle. Officer Wm. Murray and two women came up. When the trio walkednp,the two women. Rena Pearsall and Mary Jane Battle, said, 'There is the horse and cart now.' I then left the horse and cart with Police Officer Kohl, who had in the meantime come up, and weat with the two women back to where I had found the horse and cart, aad by. the light of a torch searched the yard, tq fouad nothing. One of the women said, 'I believe that woman Ella has drowned him.' . We then went to hunt for Ross EUa Hill, and after searching two dance halls finally arrested" ber on Natt street, near Grace. 5 le accompanied us back to' the yard and we made another search, but again found nothing. Rena Pearsall and Mary Jans Ba.tle pointed out the place where they said they bad seen Rose E la Hill and Mr. Bonham talking. The Hill woman, said she didn't know anything about it. She appeared to be perfectly 'cool, but gave two different names." Reua Pearsall testified: -Mary Jane Battle and myself were walking up the dummy railroad tracx on Water street last Friday night ' between 8 and 9 o'clock. We saw a horse and , cart standing at a gate. We heard some one talking. A man got out of the cart and commenced talking with Rose Ella Hill. As we moved off we heard them talking underneath the rosin shed. Which Is near by.' We then went and told Police Officer Murray.. We suited on back, but met Mr, Todd with ahorse and cart." She corroborated the rest of Mr. Todd's testimony. . . R. A. Biddle testified that he saw two men carry: Mr. x Bonham out, of Mr. Wessell's store. Friday night, and put him in bis cart. . The horse went to ward's Front street. Mr. Bonham was under the influence of liquor. - Rose Ella Hill testified: "Friday night last I was sitting down by a spring near the foot of Ann street. I heard a fuss, and looked around but saw nothing. Walked down the dummy track nearly to the gas house, and then tnrned aroued and walked back again. I walked up and down the track about' four times; saw the borse and cart e3ch time, and at last walked down to Mrs. Williamson's dance hall. After staying there a little while I again walked down the track. Bstween Aan and Nun streets I saw the cirt again; an old man was kneeling down beside it. I said, "Hillo, beau!' H tepfied,"Vno :s you?' I then walked off and left him." Chief of Police JnoR. Melton and Robt. McKendrick also testified. The jury, after being out about thirty minutes, returned a verdict of accidental drowning. , u i Rose Hill and Robt. McKendrick were then discharged from custody. ? OPERA HOUSE. - Htee Mlnnte Maddern Plaki in "The Bight to Happineaa" Tho Adapter ol the Play, Mlae Marsoerlte Merriocton, ' Among Her Auditors. Those who braved the storm last night in order to see Minnie Maddern Fitke and her- fine support at the Opera House were indeed fortunate. "The Right to Happiness." the play presented, is a comedy of sentiment adapted from the German by Marguerite .Merrinston. Mrs. Fiske is an actress of ability and is one ot the few actresses on the stage to day who can intermix pathos with com edy and vice versa, As Madeline the cripple, she fully displayed her power as an actress. . "I Mrs. Fiske's support was very fine. In Mr. Jas. H. Colville and Mr. Raymond Winfield she possesses a right and reft bower of the very best. The other roles in the cast were also in the hands of competent players, At the end of the second act Mrs. Fiske was obliged to re spond to an encore. The famous American dramatist and adapter of the beautiful play, Miss Mar gurite Merrington, of New York city, was present and occupied a seat in the par quet during the performance. Mist Mer rington, besides having adapted "The Right to Happiness." is the author of E. H. Sotbern's success. "Lettarblair"; Sol. Smith Russell's latest play, "An Every day Man," and a small volume recently completed entitled 'Daphne." It is a mat ter of regret that her visit to Wilmington should have been made during such a terrible storm as that which prevailed last evening.

A night of laughter is promised, which will drive away the blues and at the aame time make you tip the scale the next day; according to the old adage, "laugh and grow fat." 'The piece is a species of farce comedy, and comes' well heralded with praise of the press wherever it has been performed. Its stage settings and scenery are pro nounced most elaborate. It abounds with refined fun and clever, artistic per formers, headed by Joha E. Henshaw and May TenBroeck, who are exponents ot light comedy, too well known to need any mention in the lines they essav.
