N, N: THURSDAY, JANUARY
IT IS WILLIAM'S PLUM.
So They Say in "Washington Some
Guesses As to Who Will Profit
by the DeaL.
"Chadbourn will be Postmaster, and
everybody satisfied." . This is the tenor
of several private telegrams received
here yesterday from Washington
This means, of course, that a trade or
deal has been consummated that is
satisfactory to those immediately con
cerned, and all others will have to
take the medicine whether it be pala
table or not
But there is something more than
the agreement to withdraw all oppo
sition to Mr. Chadbourn in this "deal.
and the Star will undertake to do
some guessing in this connection.. This
is about the way it looks: Albright
will be assistant Postmaster ' under
Chadbourn. The salary of the Post
master is about $2,800, and that of
the assistant is $1,400. Chadbourn
probably said to Albright: "I cannot
give but a part of my time to the dii
ties of this office. I have other impor
tant engagements. - Withdraw from
the race, and take the position of as
sistant Do the work of the office1, and
I will pay you $700 of my salary. This,
with your own salary of $1,400, will
make $2,100. This will fix yonnicely,
you will receive just as much pay as I
will" To this Albright must have
said: "Agreed."
Now the Hon. Filibuster Bonaparte-
Rice must be considered. So, he lines
up with Chadbourn. He will be deputy
collector of the port under Dancy at a
salary of $1,800. Dancy does not live
here now, and will probably be absent
most of his time, and Rice will be in
charge of the office. The salary of
the deputy now almost equals the
salary and fees of the collector.
When Rice resigns -his present posi
tion as city clerk and treasurer John
E. Taylor, now his deputy, will suc
ceed Rice. So far. so good, to the Re
publicans. But there is another fea
ture of the game. It has been known
for some time that Russell's hostility
to Rice and his influence with the
present Board of Aldermen would in
all probability soon culminate in the
decapitation of Rice as clerk and
treasurer. It is known, too, that
Rice has openly declared his in
tention of being a candidate for
sheriff at the next election. But
by giving him a snug berth in
the Custom House .he is made to
feel that he never did wish to be a can
didate for sheriff, and this leaves the
field clear to our neighbor-in-Iaw Gee
Zee, or to whoever he and his friends
may name. This guess of the Star is
made a good one by the fact that Rice
yesterday telegraphed the news of the
success of Chadbourn to Gee Zee, al
though he and Gee Zee have been
looking cross-eyed at each other for
some time, lhat telegram was tne
olive branch the handshake by wire,
speaking after the manner of men.
There is an encouraging feature in
the situation to the business men of
Wilmington. If the management of
the post-office is turned over to Mr.
Albright, the work will no doubt be
well done. He has not only been an
excellent postal clerk, but he has been
assistant postmaster, under his father,
at Durham, where the postal business
is very large and necessarily requires a
very capable man to conduct it.
A NEW PUBLICATION.
The Southern Willing and Lumber
Journal.
The first number of the Southern
Milling and Lumber Journal, Z. W.
Whitehead, editor, came out yester
day. It is in every way a success. It
starts out with a good advertising pat
ronage, and with the progressive man
agement which will characterize it
with Mr. Whitehead as editor and
publisher, the prospects for an in
creased amount of advertising are
very bright The contents are well
arranged, consisting of editorials, ex
tracts from other journals of similar
kind, letters from special correspond
ents at Baltimore, Norfolk, Washing
ton, D. C, New York, St. Louis, At
lanta, Savannah, Jacksonville, Fla.,
and Charleston, S. C. There are also
different departments under heads ap
propriate to the aims of the journal.
Typographically, the journal is neat
and attractive. The Star wishes it
abundantsuccess.
N. Y. Shipping List and Price Current.
The first issue of "The Daily Ship-
ping ana commercial rasi ana new
York Price Current" has. reached the
Star. It appears, however, that this
title may not be the permanent one, as
Messrs. D. 0. Haynes & Co., the pub
lishers, intended at first to publish the
new daily under the name of
"The New York Commercial,"
and will do so yet unless "The
Commercial Advertiser" wins a suit
to prevent the new paper from using
the title, 4 "The New York Commer
cial." Whatever name, is decided
upon, there is no doubt but that there
is a big field before a daily containing
sd extensive and varied an assortment
of commercial and shipping news.
Sold at $5,600.
Mr. S. H. Fishblate's stock of gen
tlemen's clothing and furnishing goods

House. The property was cried off by
A. G. Ricaud, Esq., and the bidding
opened at $2,500,

lene Radcliffe as Rosa, still sustained
her reputation in the portrayal of this
character. The old and original pan
tomine "Humpty Dumpty," was also
slated, but unfortunately Mr. Rhodes,
who is the leading male character, and
who had made quite a hit as Hump
ty, met with a painful but it is
hoped, not serious accident.
In making his parachute drop from
the top of the scenery, about fifteen
feet from the stage a block gave way
and Mr. Rhoder landed on the stage
with sufficient force to almost knock
the breath out of him. He was assist
ed off the stage and Doctors McMillan
and Zachary were called. They said
no bones were broken, but that he had
received quite a considerable jar and
that it will b two or three days before
he will be able to appear again. While
the audience were disappointed in not
seeing the presentation of "Humpty
Dumpty," it was announced, that on
account of the accident the Company
would give a vaudeville entertainment,
and we think every one was pleased
and got value received, as the speciali
ties were good and new.
Yesterday afternoon the company-
gave a grand family matmeerWhicn
concluded with "A Hot-Reception."
As Mr. Rhodes , does not appear in
any ot-the plays presented by the
Merry Makers" except "Humpty
Dumpty," which will not be given
again until Saturday, the accident will
in no way interefere with the plans of
the company.
Postponed Arrivals.
It turns out that it will be the last
of the week when Mr. A. H. Spears,
of New York, who is to initiate the
Wilmington firemen into the use of
the chemical engine, will arrive.
The representative of the South
eastern Tariff Association, who is also
expected here in connection with the
paid fire department, will arrive by
January 15th, if not before.
