It Is Probable Kf. Penoh Will Continue at His Desk In trie Sheriff's Offioe - " Dr. Wright toy Poi'maeter Mr. Morton'a Term JSx- , ; piree Hexl Deoamber. - It has generally been supposed since the election of McKinley. that . our neigbbor-ia-law Gee Zee. was honing after his old berth ia the Wilmington post-office. This, however, the Star has reason to believe, is a mistake. Gee Zee is very comfortably housed now in the Sheriff's office, where he' gets more human cash and has less responsibility than he would have if he should again write p. m. after his name. The office of Sheriff is worth anywhere from $5.- 000 to $5,500 after paying all expenses. Of this amount Uncle Liie Hewlett is supposed to receive f 1 200 or: $1,500, while the balance' goes into the wampum belt of Gee1 Zee. This isn't bad. fit is far better than picking strawberries at Rocky Point, or any other point, at one cent per quart. s;i: - The post-office is worth $3,800. net per year to the boss stamp-licker; so, it will be seen that Gee Zee would show less common sense than he is credited with if he did not "let well enough alone." -'" -r'r'M.- The Republican most talked of lor Postmaster now is Dr. Semper Paratus Wright, and if he can carry to Washing ton the indorsement of a half-dcssn Wilmington Republicans whom the Star could name, be will have a fine showing, though if Pritchard is not re-elected Senator it might complicate the situation. The Doctor is a nice man. barring his politics, and would make an affable and accommodating Postmaster. Bnt there may be delay in the ap pointment of a Postmaster for Wilming ton. The term of Mr. Morton, present incumbent, does not expire until De cember, 1897, and it is likely he will not be removed nntil that time. Certainly, if the reports of inspectors to the P. Cv Department at ' Washington as to the management of the Wilmington office count for anything Mr. Morton will be allowed to serve out his term. The of fice here is rated among the highest in the country for thorough and system atic management. Brfklng Hoxic A balking horse is one of the most familiar sights in the world. Yet one never balks without attracting a marked degree-of attention. Yesterday one of H. L. Fennell's horses made up bis mind that he wouldn't go when ordered by his master to go. It was amusing to see how quickly a group of people got to gether to witness the performance. , "A balking horse is the meanest thing in the world," one of the gentlemen re marked as a starter. . "Yes, but if be were mine he wouldn't balk long," another by-stander rejoined. "I'd take him out from that trap and knock him down with a cudgel. When he got up I guess hed go 'long." . "The thing to do," still another put In, is to stop his ears with paper." ""No; twist his lip." "No, simply rub him on the shoulder. and speak kindly to him," a gentleman humanely disposed said. Oh. there are a dozin or more ways by which the horse could be made to go." another man remarked in a sort of determined, impatient - tone. "Put a corn cob ia his ear, or stick a knife blade into the roof of his mouth nntil be bleeds freely."! About this time the horse started oil and put an end to all reuarks. 1 m - Hardly had the echo of Hoyt's "A Milk White Flag" died away before the management announced as its next at traction another'of Mr. Hoyt's justly celebrated cimedies "A Midnight Bell" with' that famous American ;: come dian who has caused ' bushels of laugh ter."

R Melton accompanied by police sergeants Thayer and Lossen, arrested the Keith woman at a ball over the railroad and landed her in the guard house. When arrested she had on Mrs. McKoy 's black silk Lflcass, valued at $50.

News was re ceived here to-day of the killing of ex Sheriff Moffitt, of Randolph county, a special deputy : revenue collector, oy a moonshiner by the name of Lee Turner, who was killed also. . Yesterday morning Sheriff Moffitt left Asneboro in company with two assist ants, Messrs. T. J. Hoover and Lee Freeman. They went in the direction of Troy. Thirty-five miles below Ashe boro they encountered Turner's illicit distillery. They cut the still to pieces and then went to Turner's house to search for the whiskey. Moffitt was met at the door by Turner, who refused him admission. Moffitt told Turner that he must search the house. Turner told him that he would not allow it. Moffitt advanced, both .he and Moffitt drawing their pistols, and firing simultaneously, killing each other. Another account is that Momtt and his assistants, after cutting up the still, arrested Turner, and he (Turner) asked permission to go into the house after his overcoat. Permission was given, and when he returned he brought his gun, shooting Sheriff Moffitt down with out -any warning.. Then, in the pro miscous firing. Turner was killed. . Sheriff Moffitt was one of the best citizens of Randolph county, and his death is greatly deplored by all. A WINTER TRAIN.

Thousand Onbtna Witbia Twenty MllM of Havana. - Jacksonville, Fla. December 6. A special dispatch to the Citizen from Key West says: .-, The steamer Whitney brought Havana news this morning in relation to Maceo and Weyler. Passengers state that Weyler is now encamped tea miles from Artemisa and his army is scattered alone the trocha and through the Pinar del kio, district, when Maceo retreated from Weyler in the first campaign, his plan was to surprise Weyler at the first opportunity." Now Maceo has his army on eacn siae or weyler and they are having daily skirmishes. weyler is completely hemmed in. and if be attempts to move he wilt be com pelled to go to Artemisa. Small bands have crossed the trocha into Havana district, and are attacking the outposts and villages of that province. insurgents namberine 7.000 are en camped in Havana province, twenty miles from Havana, and will go to Ma ceo's assistance when needed. Spies in Havana ate keeping the insurgents posted as to the movements of the S Dan ish troops. A movement is on foot to capture Weyler if, he attempts to go to Havana by rail. Firemen and volun teers in Havana are being sent to Wev- ici iciict. nere oiore ,mese troops have been used in the defense of the city. - . i - . : Since Tuesday's raid on Guanabacoa the city has been attacked almost every nignt, ana inursaay night "sou Cuban cavalry rode for two hours through it. The damage done amounts to thirty-six bouses burned, and a large quantity of supplies and ammunition seised. Reports received from all Darts of Pinar del Rio indicate that a great mortality follows the recent epidemics. which are spreading throughout that section. Of all the diseases epidemic in nature cholera seems to be the only one which has not visited that section. A SERIOUS VIEW. What a Very Able Newspaper Thinks of trie President' Brfereneea to Cab. The Washington Post says the Presi dent's references to Cuba are fraught with the very gravest significance. It. says, further ; "The President does not fix a SDecific limit at which, in his opinion, our duty to humanity and: civilization will take precedence of our international obliga tions oi respect and consideration to Spain. But what he says as to the con ditions prevailing in Cuba, and the con sequences inevitably attendant upon their prolongation leave no doubt that we are approaching that limit very rapidly.".-,. ::.
