INSURANCE WAR.
BoatbtMtcrn Tariff Aaeooiatlon Aaainat
tha Bonih.rn Steele M itaal a: Greens
boro. The Southeastern Tariff Association
haa issaed a new and reduced insurance
tariff for Greensboro. They claim that
this haa been made necessary to meet
competition from the Southern Stock
Mutual, a North Carolina company with
headquarters at Greensboro, which, it ia
aaid, allows its patrons a rebate of aboat
SO per cent. Tbe Insurance Herald ex
presses the opinion that reduced ta-
r.ffs will be established in all
North Carolina towns in which the
home companlea offer lower ratea than
those of the companies that are mem
bers of the Southeastern Tariff Associa
tion. This means, doubtless, all towna
In which the Southern Stock Mutual is
doing business. Well, "competition is
the life of trade," but the question arises,
is the object of tbe movement to drive
the home company out of business; and
if successful in this, will the reduced
ratea be continued in force ?

Sunday waa a day of note in tbe his
tory of the Seamen's Friend Society of
thia port. The new reading room, in
tbe second atory of the Seamen's Home,
waa formally opened by religions ser
vices therein, conducted by Rev. A. D.
McClure and Rev. J. Carmichael, D. D.,
assisted by a choir, composed of Col. W.
J. Woodard, Mr. Alex Holden, Miss Cal
loway and Mrs. Will Latta, who rendered
beautiful music, which waa most thor
oughly enjoyed by all present. The solo,
"Consecration." sung by Mrs. Latta, with
charming pathos and sweetness, pro
duced a most profound impression upon
tbe audience, which was very largely
composed of sailors.
The friends of the Seameo's Home,
have good reasona to be thankful for
thia auspicious reopening of the reading
room, where the sailors in port are al
ways welcome, and where tbey will find
much to interest and amuse them.

A SILVER WEDDING.
CtUDittd In Brsntne by Mr. and Mrt.
B. H. J. Ahrenr, cf Wilmington.
Twenty-five years ago occurred the
wedding of Mr. and Mrs. B. H.J Ahrens,
Rev Dr. G. D. Bernheim officiating.
Laat night Dr. Bernheim, assisted by
Rev. K. Boldt, officiated again at a wed
ding thia time tbe silver wedding of
the same happy couple. The exact an
niversary waa Sunday, bat the festivities
were'pxrjosid--uciiUst night.
Tbe residence, oa corner"6fSevosi-
and Market, was ablaza with light and
thronged with frieada of the family.
The center of the party was of coarse
Mr. and Mrs. Ahrens. Time has dealt
very gently with both of them, and the
congratulations tbat tbey received could
well have been accompanied with confi
dent expectations that they wonld live to
celebrate their golden wedding. The bride
wore black satin trimmed in white em
broidered chiffon and on her brow rested
a solid silver wreath, a gift brought
from Germany by Mr. Ahrens on his
last trip. A brother in Germany bad
remembered the happy occaaion with a
beautiful pearl breast-pin. In fact, all
the presents, and they were a great
many, were handsome and appropriate,
especially so one given by tbe Evening
Star Whist Club, a silver spoon-holder.
Nothing was left undone that wonld
contribute to the happiness of the guests,
reporters included- Tnere was a table
loaded with good things, fragrant Ha
vanas for those who indulged, and danc
ing for tbe younger people to music by
Prof. P. Ctanclarulo's Italian string
band. It was far in tbe night when the
last happy guest took his departure.
Tbrae Small Pi at.
Two alarms of fire were sent in Sun
day. At 3 30 o'clock in the morning two
one story frame houses on Eighth street,
between Brunswick and Hanover, owned
and occupied by Noble Milton and Isaac
Lane, both colored, were discovered on
fire and an alarm was sent in from box
19, Eighth and Hanover streets. The
fire department responded promptly
and succeeded In suppressing tbe flames,
not, however,"before considerable dam
age was done to both houses and con-
tenu. Milton carried a 8500 insurance
policy on his bouse and contents, and
the residence of Lane was insured for
$200.
During the high wind Sunday after
noon an alarm of fire was sent in from
box 48. Front and Orange streets, about
b.30 o'clock, on account of a one-story
frame dwelling in an alley, between Dock
and Orange, Front and Second streets,
being on fire, caused by a defective flue.
The firemen, realizing the damage that
would be accomplished it ths high wind
prevailing at tbat time was to secure the
master hand, worked manfully and suc
ceeded in confining the flames to the
building oa fire. The house was owned
bv Mr. Alonzo Blake and occupied by
Tillie Taylor, colored.
A small fire, which, however, did not
amount to much, was disovered yester
day afternoon at 6 o'clock in a house on
Dock street, between Third and Fourth.
An alarm was sent in from box 48. Fifth
and.Orange streets. .

Saturday night about 7.80 o'clock
Martha Hill, colored, accompanied by
her husband, Robert Hill, while down
the street shopping, stopped at a stand
kept by an At syrian woman, Mary War-
rock, near Front and Dock streets, to
make a purchase. While examining
some of the goods offered for tale
Martha saw the Assyrian woman stoop
down and pick up a ten-dollar bill, and
upon looking into her pocket-book she
discovered tbat a ten-dollar bill wbicb
her husband bad given ber was missing.
In the meantime tbe Assyrian woman
went into a store close by, kept by some
of her friends, and, although several by
standers saw her pick up the ten-dollar
bill, yet she would not part with the
money.
Yesterday a warrant was sworn out
for tbe Assyrian woman, and she was
arrested and brought for trial before Jus
tice McGowan yesterday afternoon
at 5 o'clock. Herbert McClammy, Esq.,
appeared for the defendant and raised
the point that the money picked up by
the defendant was not identified (which
bad oot been done),as the moneylcst by
Martha Hill, and consequently, in ac
cordance witb the ruling of the higher
courts, Justice McGowan discharged
the defendant.
