Great Gathering of the Democ racy of Pender County Yes- terday at Burgaw.- FIFTEEN , HUNDRED PEOPLE. Many Populists Present Ladies Strongly in Evidence Eloquent Speeches by . John D. Bellamy, W. H. Kitchen and R. B. Glenn. The county of Pender," that cherished daughter of New Hanover, is ablaze with Democratic enthusiasm, and she. did herself proud yesterday when fifteen hundred of her people attended the great white men s rally at Burgaw. The Democrats were there from every precinct in the county ; a large num ber of Populists attended,; and there were probably 150 negroes on the ground. The ladies of Pender, of all ages, were strongly in evidence the stately matron, the "rare and radiant maiden" and the bewitching school girl; aTTattesting by their presence the unparalleled interest pervading the great campaign for white rule. Edge combe county, too, was represented by two beautiful dark-eyed splendors, whose every movement attracted at tention. The Sheeting was opened in a little oak grove, near the Court House, by Dr. Porter, Chairman of the County Committee, who, by the way, is doing splendid work for the great cause he has so much at heart. He briefly, but most felicitously, intro duced each of the speakers. John D; Bellamy, the white map's Democratic candidate for Congress first addressed the people. His speech was fully up to his usual high and at tractive standard. It was strong, argumentative, full of incontrovertible facts, and at times eloquent and pa thetic. He roasted Office Hunter Dockery by quoting on him.his record in Congress and in the Legislature. He showed Dockery up as a miserable political nondescript who was nomi nated first by a convention of the negro party on a gold "platform and afterwards by a little squad of pie eating Populists who adopted no plat form at all. Bellamy made a fine im pression ; and, what is better, he will carry Pender county in the face of an adverse majority of 290. Hon. W. H, Kitchen, inimitable "Buck," followed in a speech that made a deep impression on the Popu lists. He has been a Populist him self, and he can eet closer to the Pop ulist heart than probably any speaker How on the stump in JNortn oarotina. As a vote winner it was universally conceaea inai ; me oiu uiu o v... was thejnost effective of the day. The best and last speaker was (.apt. R. B. Glen, of Winston. As he is on the stump every day and his voice was failing- him. he asked that he be permitted to speak in the Court House, Which was done. Then there was a rush for the building, which was soo n literally packed . with 700 people (about one half the crowd), the ladies being largely represented. It is needless to say to those wno have heard "Bob" Olenn, or who know him byj reputation, that he made a rattling speech. It was charac terized by every phase of oratory. Eloquence,- pathos, argument, sting ing sarcasm, wit and humor made up a combination .that carried his audi ence by Storm, uray-nairea men. beardless boys and charming girls all joined in the generous and, at times, tumultuous applause that shook the Court House building "from 'turret to foundation stone." Thus closed a field day in the po litical history of Pender one that will not be equalled until her patri otic people are again summoned to Burgaw to celebrate the great victory that will be won on the 8 day of next November! PONY ACCIDENTALLY KILLED. Deputy Sheriff W. W. King loses a Hand some Pony by Accident. ; Deputy Sheriff W. W. King had the misfortune to lose a handsome two year old bay pony Sunday night. About twelve o'clock the pouy was loose in the jail yard and with a large horse was grazing on the little grass plot over the cistern in the northwest corner of the, yard. The pony it is thought got frightened ana tnea to jump overhe iron -fence, ne was completely disembowelled by the sharp pon Dalines. The accident was discovered from the city hall by acting Sergeant C. Q. Knox, who heard the pitiful moan- ings of the' animal and the noise he made in trying to get olr the fence. Sergeant Knox; notified Mr. K. U. King, who was at thejail. Mr. King, the owner, was called, and Dr. T. B. Carroll was also summoned. He ad vised that the horse be killed, as there was no chances for it to recover; Ac cordingly it was knocked in the head with an axe. , 5 Back From His Vacation TV. W. D. McMillan, cUy and county superintendent of health, re turned yesterday from a week's . holi day which he spent at his country place on Sloop Point where nis lamny are summering.' The Stab regrets to report that during much of the Doc tor's absence he was confined to his bed bv sickness! However, he is now very much better and able to wnime his practice. Mrs. McMillan came down to the pity with him but will return to Slop Point within a day or two. WILMINGTON N. C, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, BOUND OVER TO COURT. Nathan Hawkins to Answer the Charge of Stealings Pump Yesterday's Mayor's Court. Nathan Hawkins, colored, was bound over to the October term of the Criminal Court yesterday by Mayor, Wright to answer the charge of steal-! ing a pump from the N. Jacobi Hard ware Company. Hawkins was de fended' in the trial by two colored' lawyers, W. 12. Henderson and A. W. Scott, both of whom argued the case when . the J evidence was' all in. " The witnesses of importance were special policeman Fred Jones, by whom the arrest was made; Duncan Hill, colored, who saw Hawkins take'the pump from the front of the Jacobi hardware store ; Robt. Crawford, colored, who alsd saw Hawkins sneaking away with the pump under his coat, and-Mr. Marcus Jacobi, who testified to having lost a pump on Saturday and to the steps he had taken leading to apprehension of Hawkins, held for trial as the thief. There was quite a crowd of specta tors in the court room. Hawkins was sent to jail in default of a $50 bond. $ip Ash, colored, an old offender for drunkenness and disorderly conduct; pleaded guilty to that charge and the Mayor pronounced a sentence of $5.00 and costs, $7.50, or 10 days hard labor on tli8 streets. He failed to raise the money and will go to work with Superintendent of Streets Bryant's force this morning at 6 o'clock. WEEKLY HEALTH REPORT. Especial Activity in Sanitary Department Many Inspections Made by Officers. There was no meeting of the Board of Health yesterday. However, Dr. McMillan's report for the- week as superintendent of health was pre pared as usual, and showed quite a lot of work in the sanitary and street cleaning departments. During the week 216 loads of trash were hauled from the streets and city premises; 977 inspections of premises were made by health officers; of this num ber forty-six were found in bad con dition, of which twelve needed and received immediate attention; forty four special inspections were made, and 157 orders for disinfectants were issued from the health office. Dr. McMillan says that there is a constant improvement in the city's sanitary condition and that the streets are in betterconlttion as to cleaolmes than at any time during the season. The recent addition of a number of carts and wagons is enabling the Board .of Heath to make a material change in the sanitary condition of the city. Thus far during September only four cases of scarlet fever have been reported and two cases of typhoid fever. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. Making Preparations to Receive Their New Pastor in a Fitting Way; The members of the First Baptist Church are making preparations to give the -Rev. Dr. Blackwell, their new castor, a most cordial welcome. At a meeting Sunday a committee, composed of Dr. A. M. Baldwin and Messrs. J. C. Stevenson and Oeorge E. Leftwich, was appointed to make the necessary arrangements. On the first Sunday after Dr. Blackwell s ar rival, which will probably be the second Sunday in October, there will be at the church a mass meeting of the members, and appropriate speeches, in cluding some by pastors of other churches, will be made. The present plan is to have the mass meeting in the afternoon so as to interfere as nttie as possible with the regular services at the churches. MAY COME TO-DAY. The Ten-inch Pipe Needed to Resume Work on the Artesian Well. Work will certainly be resamed on the artesian well this week. A quan tity of ten -inch pipe has been expected on the New York steamer for several weeks, but in some way it has always got delayed until this week, when the news comes that a large quantity was safely loaded on the Clyde steamer Benefactor, which is due here to day. As the waut of this pipe' is the only- thing that delayed the work, there is no reason why operations should not be begun at ionce. ForemanW. O. Stevens, who .left here when it was learned that tjiere would be a delay in getting the ten-inch pipe, has returned and is ready for work. As stated sev eral times already in the Star, the well has reached a depth of about 600 feet : i . - . BICYCLE IS LOCATED. The Wheel Borrowed of the Carolina Bicycle Company has Been Found.
