OCX INGHAM OUTRAGE CASS. John Bald, Oot of the Baipeated Besvoet, Pot lo Jail at Wilmincton tor Bafe Keep- lo Saya He la Ioaooent. Deputy Sheriff J. P. Cameron, of Richmond county, arrived in the city yesterday afternoon at 12 05 o'clock, via tbe Seaboard Air Line, in charge of John Reid, tbe negro captured about noon last Saturday in Maxton, charged with attempting to feloniously assault Miss Lilly Cole, of Rockingham, (as tally detailed in tbe Star), six hours previous to his arrest. Reid was brought here for sale keeping, and after be had been placed in jail a Star representative had a few' minutes conversation witn usputy Cameron, and was ioformed that Reid and tbe other ne gro. John Flake, arrested at Monroe Saturday night, were carried before Miss Cole again yesterday morning, but she was noable to recognlxs absolutely either one of the negroes as her assailant, al though sbe was rather inclined' to be ieve tbat Reid was the right man. Coo sequently Flake was turned loose and Reid was ordered brought to this city tor safe keeping, aod lelt Rockingham later under guard of the Maxton military company.woicb company disembarked at Maxton, waile the accused, in charge of Deputy Sheriff Cameron, continued the journey. Deputy Cameron further stated that tbe people of Rockingham (eel al most certain 01 Ketd s guilt, but that a search is still being made lor other par ties. At 8 90 o'clock yesterday afternoon Deputy Cameron left on his return trip to Rockingham. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon a Star representative, accompanied by Chief ot Police John R. Melton, called at the jail to interview tbe prisoner Reid said tbat be could prove an alibi, and made the following statement, vix : "I was born in Wise county. West Vir ginla. My parents are dead, and I have been staying in North Carolioa several years, spending most of that time in Winston. About two weeks ago I went to Rockingham and after spending a week In that place I went to Hamlet and stayed there about two days in the em ploy of af patent medlcioe doctor,' Will Biaotoo, white. Early last Friday night I beat a blind baggage and went to Rock logham. but returned the same night at 11 20 o'clock to Hamlet on a vestibule train. I spent that night in company with some cottoa compress bands and left the next morning for Maxton, where I was arrested and where I heard for tbe first time ot the crime committed at Rockiogham. When the crime was com mitted at 6 o'clock I was at the railroad depot at Hamlet, and I can get many witnesses who will testify to that fact. I never committed the crime charged against me. and knew nothing about it until I was arrested in Maxton. Satur day night and a part of Sunday I spent in the jail at Bennettsville, S. C. When I was carried before Miss Cole she said sbe was not certain tbat I was her assail ant and I would have been set free if some negro hadn't about that time come ap and stated that he saw me at Rock iogham last Saturday mornicg walking up a hill going in tbe dtrectioa ot the place where the crime was committed." Reid positively asserts bis innocence, and seems confident that he can clearly establish an alibi. He is a man of me dium stature, bright mulatto, with no hair whatever on his face, and says that he is only 19 years of age. He appears to be a kind of "rolling stone, and states that he has lived in many places in the State. lStcia Star TeUeram. Rockingham. N. C , Oct. 25 Eatly tbis morning tbe two prisoners, John Reid and John Flake, both colored, ac companied by the Maxton Guards, were taken bsfore Miss Cole and her sisters, who were with her on the morning of the assault. They were ucable to identify John Flake and he was immediately dis charged. John Reid was neither ac quitted nor identified, and for tbis rea son aod other circumstantial evidence, wbich Is very much against him, it was thought satest to hold him until further investigation could be made. He was accordingly taken to New Hanover county jail for safe-keeping while await ing other developments. There is very little excitement here now; but though ssemlngly quiet, tbe authorities still seek for the guilty vil lain who outraged one of the ladies of our town and are as vigilant aod enthu siastic in bringing the guilty one to pun ishment as upon the day on which tbe assault occurred, and we hope to advise you soon of the capture and punishment of the guilty party. The county now offers a reward of $300 for the arrest of the brute. There was nothing to disturb the usual repose of the town last night, and shortly after 12 o'clock the streets were about deserted.

Sofl Sealebi aad Company Of Ope- ratio Artutt Oraeted by a Iiarge Audits or. Great expectations were fully realized at the Scalchl concert last night. The entertainment was recherche in every respect. Each singer was an artist, and the selections evinced rare taste. Mme. acaicni, tne soprano, nas a tall voice and she utters each and every note clearly and distinctly. She sings, too. with an abandon which is truly refresh ing. Mile, louunquet, prima donna, so prano, has a charming voice and filled her part in tbe musical role most grate fully. Mile. Marie de Bedat, mezzo soprano, has a voice which is sweet, rich and clear, and her singing was highly appreciated, having to refuse to respond after several encores. Mr.Tbos. McQueen, tenor, has a sweet voice and his singing was very much ap preciated. Signor Albert!, baritone, was superb; and every strain from his highly cultur ed voice was entrancing. Tne entertainment concluded with, a complete performance of the fourth act of Verdi's Grand Opera "II Trovatore. Composing the cast, MUeToulinquetas Lenora. Mr. McQaeen as Manrico, Sig nor Alberti as Count di Lenta, and Mme Scalcbi as Axucena each sustained their part admirably, and proved as in the first part of the concert to have their voices under thorough control. Each one of the company was compelled to respond to an encore, which they did very willingly and to the delight of the audience. Mme. Scalcbi is a singer of note and has surrounded herself with artists of marked ability. Hxoiting Bmivtr oa Prlneets Street. The corner of Third and Cbesnnt streets was the s:eae of an incident both exciting and unusual yesterday afternoon, a little after 2 o'clock. The occurrence was the running away of a horse attached to a hearse. The pro cession was pasting np Princess and the hearse was about half a block ahead of the first carriage, when the animal that was drawing the hearse quickened his pace and as if stimulated to greater ac tivity by tbe efforts of the driver to check him was soon In a sweeping gal lop. When he got to Third his speed had slacked down to a very fast trot and if he had been kept straight ahead a catastrophe might have been avoided. Bat he made a sbort tarn ap Third street, the hearse careened over on two wheels, and the off side went higher and higher until the vehicle turned over with a crash of broken glass that brought everybody in the vicinity to their doors and windows to find oat what on earth was the mat' ter. The hearse was dragged a few feet before the horse stopped. The two col ored boys who were driving were thrown to the ground, but escaped uninjured. Fortunately the hearse was empty. The funeral was ia charge of undertaker Thos. Rivera. Tbt Shooting; Sorsps a: tba C. V. 3c Y". V Freight 8bed. Watchman Joe Venus, wbo shot at Alex. Fuller, a colored hackman, Satur day night, when Fuller attempted to drive his carriage under the freight shed at tbe C. F. & Y. V. Railroad which at the time was in charge of Venus and af ter be had been warned not to do so, was arraigned for trial before Justice Banting yesterday morning at 10 o'clock. Over a score of witnesses were intro duced and their testimony was tbe same as the account of the occurrence pub lished in the Star of last Sunday, except that Watchman Venus testified that he fired to frighten Fuller and not to in j are him. Jno. D. Bellamy, Esq., rep resented the defendant, and argued tbat 7n 11 st txtj -i naf ifir1 in hia grf.nn aa ht I aw f W I was in charge of the freight shed, and that Fuller had no right to disobey him when he was ordered not to drive under the shed. Justice Bunting reserved his decision until S o'clock in the afternoon, at which time he decided tbat the force used by Venus to eject Fuller was excessive and unnecessary, and placed the defendant under $50 bond, which he gave, for his appearance at tbe next term of tne Criminal Court. Bans-way H area a Princess street bad its sbare ot run away horses yesterday afternoon. Abont 3.80 o'clock a horse got loose from tbe stables ot H. L. Fennell aod, knocking his heels together, ran ap and down tbe street in quite a lively manner, bat was finally captured. Later, about 5.30 o'clock, near Water street, a lanky look ing horse attached to a dray became joy ous, and commenced to kick, rear and rock the dray over the cobble stones in a truly startling manner; bat he, too, af ter about everybody in town had gath ered aroand to see the fan, was subdued and led meekly away. Dr. Strange la Norfolk:. The Norfolk Virginian of yesterday says. Rev. Dr. Robert Strange, at present rector of Sl James Episcopal church, Wilmington, N. C, preached Sunday morning at Christ church, which bas re cently called him to its vacant rectorship. A larger congregation would undoubted ly have been present but for the storm. Dr. Strange delivered a strong sermon on "Faith," taking for his text "Tbe just shall live by faith."

Star Correspondence Kinston, N. C, Oct. 26. The fight for the appointment as post master at Kinston is growing warm, and much interest rs manifested in the out come. Tbe applicants are Mrs. Ada Hunter, postmaster during the adminis tration of President Harrison, and wife ot Wen. W. N. Hunter, a Republican politician for many years prominent in county politics, and . C. Hargett, col ored, a well-to-do merchant of this place. If the appointee must be a col ored man, none would be more accepta ble to tbe patrons of the office than the latter. Hargett has the endorsement and in fluence of Congressman Geo. H. White, believing tbat Senator Pritchard will not interfere but will be governed entirely bv White's selection. On tbe other hand, Mrs. Hunter is endorsed by the leading Republicans, not only of the county, but of the entire State,' and is backed by all the county (fusion) officers and a major ity of the Couaty Republican Executive Committee. The fight against Hargett is a fight against White, as Hunter and bis sup porters in tbe county strenuously op posed the nomination of White at the last Congressional convention; on tbe contrary; Hargett was one of his most earnest supporters. Now cornea the well-founded report that charges against Hargett's character have been tied with tbe Department at Washington in an attempt 10 prevent bis confirmation by tne senate In the event of his appointment. Senator Pritcbard's endorsement is now the doubtful quantity. The present Incumbent s commission expires to-day, but it is not believed tbat his successor will be named for several weeks yet. It matters not which appli cant receives tbe appointment, much dissension will be caused within the party in this county. MAX TON'S FAIR.
