Iast night was "Uemenway's even ing" in the scries of entertainment at tendant upon the closing of Wilming ton s public schools,and the programme rendered by the pupils of Hemenway- school was one of unusual interest and was withal presented in a highly satisfactory manner. More than a hundred of the pupils participated, their deportment and in terpretation of their parts having been well up to the standard of excellence set by the children of Union school on tin evening before. The large school hall was well filled, the crowd lutviiig been estimated at upwards of n ueonlc. Durinir the evenine Superintendent Noble unnounced that during the school year just closed the enrollment at Hernenway school was pupils. The faculty comprises ten teachers. I tie evenings entertainment was introduced with music of a most pa triotic character sung by a company of fifty odd little girls each carrying in her hand a small United States flag. They sang a medley of national sougs the while at appropriate intervals tri un.ph.mtly waving their little flags The enthusiasm awakened in the audi- ance was immense, ine piano ac compuniment for this as well as other musical features of the programme was by Miss Yarborough V Grecian drill was the next num ber. This was by IS little ladies each attired in a typical Grecian costume and bearing in her haud a candlestick and burning candle. They went through many pretty as well as diffi cult figures in marching, and capti vate! the audience with a number of lovely poses The concluding feature of the pro gramme was a pretty operetta, "Bob- bv Shaftoe. " The leading characters, IftJJ'y Shaft' ctwl Hettie Lobsterjtot (young sailor lad and his sweetheart), were especially well impersonated by Master Walter Mclntire and little Miss Mary White. Their little fare well scene before the gallant little sailor left for France, their bearing in the closing scene when Dettie was almost hoodwinked into wedding an Earl, and when the lovely little bride, admirably costumed, was tri umphantly led off by Bobby Shaftoe, and in fact their every appearance. evidenced conclusively great talent and careful training. Then there was the "Etirl of Miick- Umufhkin," Master David Holt; his valet, ".rnw," Master Gilbert Foard; 7Vie tnnfe.s .Vurklemuchkin, Miss Irene Peterson and Father Lowrjio, Master Plummer Gilbert, every one of whom acquitted themselves in a man ner portraying advantageously their "possibilitudcnousness" (borrowing werKf's languagel as impersona tors The story of "Bobby ShatFoe" is a familiar one and suffice it to say that full justice was accorded every feature The drills and choruses by the fisher girls and sailor lads, and prettily done, of whom there were quite a company.

Messrs. Allen and Hancammon Hurt Darint a Test of the Adraio Reserve Engine. Yesterday forenoon .while the Adrian reserve fire engine was being tested at the corner of Fourth and Dock streets a painful accident befell Mr. E. O. Allen and Mr. W. H. Han cammon was also hurt but not so seri ously as Mr. Allen. Both are mem bers of the Hook and Ladder Com pany, Mr. , Allen subbing for Mr J. T. Yates, and were act ing as nozzlemen, during the engine test. A section of the nozzle blow off throwing both firemen to the ground. The water flew full in the face of Mr. Allen, and iu falling he also struck his eye against the nozzle. He was un conscious lor some time. Air. tlan cammon waa also stunned, but not otherwise injured. Mr. Allen was carried to the hook and ladder house, where Dr. Burbank dressed his wounds. Later he was car ried to his home, on Seventh street, between Walnut and Red Cross. Barring the accident, the test of the old Adrian engine was quite satisfac tory, showing that she is in excellent trim to do effective service if there should ever lie occasion for bringing her into service. A LETTER OF THANKS. The Crew of tbc Nantucket Express Grat itude for the Box of Good Things. Yesterday Mr. Thomas E.

C, for them. The following is the full text of the letter: "The gratitude we feel for the most excellent box received by us this morning can be but feebly expressed by any effort of the pen, however we desire to thank you individually and collectively from the inmost recesses of. our hearts (and stomachs) and to assure you we shall use our utmost endeavors in every conceivable manner to merit the esteem in which you hold us, fully evidenced by your most abund ant and substantial gift. "To Mr. Thomas E. Myers, for both his expense and trouble in collecting and forwarding the articles, it is the wish or the crew to express their heartv aDDreciation and sav that his commendable action will long be re t - . . membered by all on board. Again thanking our friends, trust ing our future movements will fully demonstrate that their confidence was not misplaced, and wishing you all much prosperity and happiness, we hnve the honor to subscribe ourselves, "Crew U.

The Odd Fellows are strong both in means and numbers and there would seem to bo no good reason why the plan in contemplation should not be successfully consummated. A com mittee is in correspondence with the proper parties for the purpose of secu ring all necessary information. Will Move Here Next Week. Rev. Dr. A. G. Voirgt, the new pas tor of St Paul's Evangelical Lutheran church, will move to the city with his family some time next week and will fill his pulpit on the first Sunday in June.

The Final Meeting of the United Circles of Wilmington Held Yesterday Con vention Arrangements. The final meeting of the United Circles of The King's Daughters and Sons of Wilmington, before the con vening of the State Convention Thurs day evening, was held yesterday at 10 A. M. The object was to hear the reports of the various, committees and perfect the general arrangements for the re ception and entertainment of the dele gates. The attendance was large and the result quite satisfactory. The meeting was held in the Anniversary hall of the First Presb3'terian Church. There were reports from the vari ous committees which showed that every effort is being exerted in behalf of the pleasure of the expected guests. Arrangements have been made for two entertainments which promise much pleasurerbleuess. The first will be a reception which will be held in Abbie Chadboum Memorial hall at the First Presbyterian church, Thurs day eveuing immediately after open ing exercises of the convention. The other will be at Wrightsville beach on Saturday in either the Carolina or Atlantic (Clarendon ) yatch club house. The ladies have not yet decided which. While at the beach the delegates will visit the Shelter of the Silver Cross. Mrs. C. H. King will go down to the Shelter to-day and see that the house and furnishings are properly garnished for the inspection. When the convention is called to order Thursday night the address of welcome will be delivered by Mrs. R. N. Sweet, of this city, who is State secretary. It is not known who will deliver the response. The special music committee is ar ranging for a musical programme, which will add greatly to the interest of the sessions. Yesterday Miss Martha Williams and Mrs. Robert Cantwell were ap pointed a committee on press notices, etc.. and Miss Anna savage was elected as the special delegate to rep resent the United Circles of Wilming ton in the convention. Delegates from a distance will be gin to arrive to-day. Thirty or forty will doubtless be here by to-morrow afternoon. C. F. & Y. V. RAILROAD CASE. Hearing on the Motion for a Writ of Certiorari in the U. S. Su preme Court. George Rountree, Esq., returned yesterday from Washington City where he went to file with the Su preme Court of the United States a brief oppsing the motion for a writ of certiorari to take up on appeal the C. F. & Y. V. Railroad case. The following counsel filed; briefs opposing the granting of the writ: Geo. Rountree, Esq., of Wilmington, representing Wm. A. Lash, trustee of the second mortgage bonds, and Murchison & Co. -Judge E. J.D.Cross, of Baltimore, representing the Balti more Committee; R. O. Burton Esq., of Raleigh, representing the North State Improvement Company ;and Her bert B.Turner, Esq., of New York, rep resenting the Farmer's Loan and Trust Company, trustee of the first mortage. Charles Steele, Esq., of New York, representing the New York Committee, filed a motion for the writ of certiorari together with a brief. The court took the papers and it is hoped that it will make known this week its decision as to whether or not it will grant the writ. However, the court will adjourn in the latter part of the week and it is quite possible that it will withhold its decision until it re assembles in October. It is hard to forecast what the court will do. It has always manifested an indisposition to grant writs similar to that asked by the New York com mittee, but owing to the fact that the docket is not so large as it has been heretofore, it may order the writ issued just to have something to do ; but those best informed believe that the writ will not be granted. THE WILMINGTON COMPANY. Among the Very Best in Raleigh The Boys Satisfied and Enjoying Camp Life. A gentleman who was in Raleigh yesterday morning came back enthusi astic over the way in which the Wil mington boys are getting along at Camp Russell. They find the fare not altogether what they could wish, he says, bat they want to make soldiers of themselves and are willing to put up with slight inconveniences. The gentleman referred to tells the Star that the Wilmington company is looked upon in Raleigh as being among the best in camp, both in ap pearance and knowledge of military tactics. They have become bronzed by constant exposure and are begin ning to really enjoy camp life. It is learned that Mrs. S. B. Dudley yesterday received news that her son, Private Edwin Dudley, would be sent home to-day sick. He is probably not seriously ill, as persons who visited the company yesterday do not report any one as being dangerously ill. Grace M. E. Church Notes. Night services at Grace Meth odist ;E. Church will begin un til further notice at fifteen minutes af ter 8 o'clock. A Church , Conference will be held in the lecture room to-night - STATE ! CONVENTION. No Basis for Belief That There Will be a Hard Fight Over Fusion. PLANS FULLY ANTICIPATED. Attempt of Fosionists to Capture the Convention are Doomed to Failure. Other Raleigh News Supreme Court Decisions. Special Star Telegram. Raleigh, N. C, May 24. Com paratively few of the delegates to the State Convention have yet arrived, but on a general analysis of the situation I can find no basis for the opinion, prevalent intsome quarters that there will be a "hard fight" over fusion in the Convention. On the contrary, I can conceive of no proposition savor-, ing of fusion that can be brought be fore that bpdy that will not be defeated by a decisive majority. Even a naked proposition for the Convention to appoint-a committee to confer with the Butler Populists will, if offered, be defeated. The fusioiaists of the'Fifth Congres sional district, it is believed will have a large majority of the delegates. The Fourth, or Raleigh district, will be nearly evenly divided. The Sixth, or Wilmington district, will be practically unanimous against fusion, while in the aggregate, the delegations from the other six districts will be very largely against fusion. It is not the intention of the fusion- ists to attempt to capture the conven tion by direct" assault. They will rather undertake to circumvent it by indirect methods. But their plans have been fully anticipated, and there is not a shadow of doubt that they are doomed to ignominious failure. It ,is going to be a straight Democratic fight this time, with no "government by injunctiou.'! or by executive commit tees either. W. H. B. Raleigh, ;N. C, May 23. Supreme Court decisions are announced as fol lows : Packing Co. vs. Williams, from New Hanover, no error; Balk Vs. Har ris, from Beaufort, error; Coopsr vs. Surety Co., from Robeson, error; Al bert vs. Insurance Co., from Beau fort, affirmed; Robinson vs. Golds boro, from Wayne,, affirmed; Griffen vs. Water Works, from Wayne, af firmed. The Supreme Court adjourus Satur day. The court affirmed the decision in the Pass cases against the Southern and Seaboard railroads.
