Barnum's circus caused a big labor strike in Lancashire, England, the other day. The operatives in the fac tories wanted a day off to go to Bar nrim's circus, the mill men wouldn't Eire it to them and they snapped, and the mills were without operatives. This is commented upon as the dic tation of labor to its employers, while it was simply a proof of the irresistible attraction of the great American circus, which never fails to t stir np the country it invades with'its grand aggregation of inde scribable wonders.

A gentleman of this city, who is thoroughly reliable, sends the follow ing to the Star: "Monday night, about 10.30 o'clock, on the beat on Front between Dock and Orange streets, a negro policeman joined a mulatto woman who came out of a shop with a bottle f liquor, put his arm around her, and the pair went down the alley in the direction of what is known as 'Hell's Half-Acre,' and did not return during fifteen min utes I waited." Now, isn't this lovely? But it is only a fair sample of Dan. Russell's city government. It is horrible now; but what will it be if the white men of North Carolina do not control the next Legislature ? HON. W. D. TURNER TO-NIGHT. Democrats of Wilmington Anticipating a Speech of Unusual Power. Hon. W. D. Turner, of Statesville, who is to address the Democrats of Wilmington to-night at the Opera House, passed through the city yes terday en route to Clarkton, where he spoke yesterday. He will return to the city to-day.

This Was Justice McQowat s Decision in the Matter Yesterday. The case of Carter Petmon, which was tried betore justice mcwowan Monday, and in which j ldgment was reserved until yesterday, so as to con sult an advisory, was finely disposed of by discharging Peamau. Justice McGowan thought the evi dence insufficient to convict on the charge of larceny, and as Peamon had been previously tried by , Esquire W. TT, Price on a charge of; assault and battery, the; warrant" could not 4e amended to this effect. ' On the charge-of assault and battery before Justice Price, ths negro was also dismissed upon the . payment of costs in the action. ; CRI MINALtURT YESTERDAY ' 1 1 Many Petit Cases Disposed Of During the Day Recess Taken Until 9 A.

Charles Morris, alias "Son" Charles, plead guilty yesterday before Justice Bunting to the charge of stealing the watch from Mr. Hauser, the particu lars of which are known to Star read ers, rie was pound over in tne sum of $100 for his appearance at this term of the Criminal Court. The next charge upon which he was tried . was for stealing a sack of oats from the Cape Fear Lumber Company. He was found guilty and the judgment of the court was the same as in the preceeding case. The case against him for the robbery of the store and sleeping room of Mr. Bernice C. Moore, was continued in the absence of important witnesses. It will be remembered that he effected an entrance into the store py.pnzing open the back door with a piece of iron, and that he stole a number of razors, some little money from the cash drawer and several other articles, in the aggregate about $25 worth. He is an all-round rogue and has served a sentence in the penitentiary. Some time ago it is thought he stole 5 bales of hay from one of the lumber companies here. Deputy Flynn. who made tne ar rest, found in his possession a pillow case bearing the laundry mark "Mc- Adoo House." and it is supposed that at some time he stole this from the McAdoo House, which is located? a Greensboro. BURGLARIES STILL GO ON. This One on Front Street and Mr. C. M. Whitlock the Loser. A rather singular robbery, which was made night before last, was dis covered yesterday morning. Mr. C. M. Whitlock's store in the Y. M. C. A. building on Front street was the ob ject of attack. He had a number of rare coins in his display window and it was these that the thief made off with. The large plate glass in the window had once been broken and was afterwards mended. It was through this mended place that the thief managed to get the coins, pre- sumably by taking a stick and raking them in finger's reach. The part of Mr. Whitlock's collection stolen was a number of coppers, which meant only a few cents to thief, but several dol lars to Mr. Whitlock, as they were very rare and worth much more than their face value. There is no clue to the thief what ever, but it is possible that the coins would be recognized by the owner should he see them again. Justice Fowler's Court. Justice John J. Fowler had two trivial cases yesterday, Rachel Mc Key for larceny, and Robert Leonard, colored, for stowing vessels without icense. In the first case, the evidence was not sufficient to convict, and the defendant was discharged. In the case of Leonard, be was bound over to court in the sum of $50, which he gave. Lumberton Fair.

Boys of Company K'Will Not Return to Raleieh 03 the 17th Inst. It now seems that the boys of Com pany K, Second IT. C. regiment, U. S. volunteers, now: at home on thirty days furlough j uitil the 17th inst., are not to report back to headquarters at Raleigh on that date, but are to remain here indefinitely subject to the orders of the musteri4gout officer. In the advertisement columns will be found an official notice from, Capt. Donald MacKae,. instructing alt men now on furlough to remain so until further orders. I i Capt.. MacRae returned yesterday from Raleigh ana the notice is in com pliance with bwlers received while there. It is not nown what the pur pose of the govjsiiment is except that the boys are 5ijt to be mustered out on the 17th int. It is presumed that it is the purposfe of the authorities to keep the company on furlough until the peace negotiations assume a more settled aspect:? The Great Tobsfcb Fair. Mr. R. T. St&idman, Manager of the Travelling Salesmen Department of the R. J. Reynold Tobacco Company of Winston, is iultite city conferring with Mr. J. W.

MINSTREL SHOW TO-NIGHT. 1 Cleveland-Wilson Combination to Arrive pa-Day Parade Early This After- noon A Great Performance. (eveland-Wilson's colossal minstrel aggregation will make their debut in thig city to-night. It is doubtless the vey best production of modern, re fined minstrelsy that has appeared be fore the footlights of the Wilmington Opra House and press notices of the vepi highest commendation bear out thijf promise. The company, or rather thf companies, for it is a mammoth consolidation of two troupes, will give a Magnificent parade early this af ter nlp. And to night the peerless per fbftnance will take nlam Among the stars of the show are W. S. Cleveland, who for years has ben the most brilliantly successful of al managers; George Wilson, the greatest minstrel America has pro- dtjjpjsd; E. M. Hall, the Paganini of tfjj banjo; Joh Queen, a nationa favorite; Keno and Welch, and many others, including Charles G. Weber, the eminent baritone. They play only at the best and. biggest theatres in. the land. They are now on a 20000 mile tour of this country, Canada arid; Mexico. In 1900 they will play in; Paris ail through the Exposi tion. The Cleveland-Wilson Minstrels wjl be the only American show in Ptris that year. Later they will play inoiondon, and after a farewell tour oft this country will go around the wdrld. When you see a minstrel show se the best. There is but one worthy of the name, and that came into exis tence when W. S. Cleveland and Geo, Wilson united the Massive Minstrels iitihe former with the model minstrels oMhe latter. They don't keep within a limited territory, but they play the wf&fe world and are winners every w$eYs. No expense was spared in copUifeing and staging the great new show, wiich is, in fact, two shows in one, for fee street parade is double and toa stage performance dual. Tne nrst pH is absolutely new and original, aHd presents a dazzling scene of min- feel magnificence. It is wonderful, tb5 result being what nothing but un limited brains and unlimited capital cai produce. It is an all-star minstrel show. Beats can be obtained at Gerken's up to b o clock this afternoon. FUSI0NIST FALSEHOODS. Exposed by the Populist Treasure of IWake The County in Debt and r wi w ri n -1 expenses Larger man ever. Special Star Correspondence. V'- Raleigh, N. C, October 11. The fusionists have struck a boome rang in this county. They have been breasting that the fusion commissioners syed the people money and this asser tion was printed in the fusion hand book. However, yesterday the county frSasurer, H. H. Knight, wrote a card tS i Mr. W. C. Stronach, former Democratic chairman, in which he sows that the county treasury is empty, the court expenses unpaid. nothing has been paid on the county dbt, and the county expenses have en $15,000 more than the fusionists id it was. Mr. Knight is a Populist bht a man of unimpeachable character aitd ins statement cannot -be ques tioned. There can be little doubt of tj-e defeat of the fusionists now, since tt eir sole campaign story has been trfe saving they have made to the county. .Mr. T. B. Arendell has returned ff&m an extended trip east, especially ii tne aixtn district, and ne says mat hi? made a careful study in the Sixth district and that he firmly believes tat Bellamy will carry the district Be auotes facts to prove this. too. While the fusionists had 5,000 major ity two years ago yet it is confidently aserted that there will be a total change of more than 5,000 in Union, Robeson, Mecklenburg and New Uahover. The Democrats are certain ly splendidly organized in- the Sixth.

Thomas Blistered Fowler In Joint Debate at Clinton Former Popu lists Now Democrats. f Special Star Telegram. Clinton, N. C, October 11. Hon. Chas R. Thomas met Fowler to day at Clinton, in the first joint debate of this campaign, and the Democrats were fully satisfied with the way Thomas handled bis opponent. Samp son is a Populist strooghold and Thomas had them to hear him llitcr Fowler. Fowler crot it so hot that to wards the end of the debate he could not stand up anion? the ladie. but slunk off to a corner filled with ne groes. Fowler lost his head when be tried to prejudice his hearers against rich men, lawyers and railroad prem dents, forgetting that he i a kind of a lawyer himself. Several former Popu lists told us during Fowler'a speech that they were henceforth and forever Democrats. THE NEGRO CONGRESSMAN. Goes to a Circus in Tarboro and Wants to Sit With the White People. The Greenville Reflector prints the following from Tarboro: At the performance of John II. Sparks' circus in TaTboro Saturday, George H. White, the negro Cofl- . . 4 gressman who has caused so mucti trouble among the colored peopLe, went and took a seat among the white people The manager went to White and asked him to move over where the colored were sitting. White refused to move. The manager thereupon went out a found a policeman ; they both return ing. White was again asked to move. He still refused, saying he was as good as'the white people, and that he was not going to move.
