But that doesn't cause any surprise nor any commotion. Palmer con trols just one vote. ; That young man who vowed that ho would never marry, then met ai young woman, fell in love and swore1 he couldn't live without her, and then committed suicide, was a prizei idiot.

Some time ago tney proposed to raise a fund to reimburse plunger Leiter for the millions he lost in wheat deals, and now they propose to raise $5,000,000 to reimburse Howard Gould for the $5,000,000 he let slide by marrying actress Clemmons. They had better raise some more of their mortgages. Kansas City, Mo., has made the wide tira on wheels compulsory, on those that use the boulevards and parkways of the city, on which she is 8 tuck.

She lived for forty-seven years within a mile of a railroad and never saw the road, or a car or an engine, although she often heard the engine toot. She wasn't blind, either. If young 'Howard Gould should forfeit 5. 000, 000 by marrying actress Clemmons, he will still have $5,000,- 000 left, and with that a young couple, practicing reasonable econo my, ought to get along pretty com fortably.

Registration and Other Matters of Vital Interest Discussed Last Night. The White Government Unions of the Second Ward and the First Di vision of the Third Ward held inter esting meetings last night, the former at Democratic headquarters on Front street and the latter in the room of the Merchants, Association inthe Seaboard Air Line .building. Both meetings were attended and much was interest manifested. Matters of vital interest to white men were discussed and plans materalized for a full registration of these wards to-morrow. Why There Was No Speaking. Nothing but the unavoidable failure of either Hon. R. L. Doughton or Mr. Rodolph Duffy to reateh Wilmington caused the Democratic speaking an nounced for last night to be aban doned. "Mr. Doughton was unex pectedly recalled to the West, and a letter from Mr. Duffy to the editor of the Stab, received yesterday, stated that he had been called to the bedside of his sister, Mrs. R. W. Wooten, re siding near Kinston, who was so seri ously sick that her life was despaired of. Lamberton Fair.

CHADBOORN. Another Prominent Republican Leader Sees the Error of ' His Ways. WHITES OUGHT TO CONTROL. Says Representatives of 95 Per Cent, of the Taxes Paid Should Administer Affairs Republicans Ought Not Put Up a County Ticket. Uoionel Jf. W. Foster, one of the most prominent and influential of the Republican business men of Eastern North Carolina, and lately chairman of the Board of County Commission ers of New Hanover county, was in terviewed last night, for the purpose of ascertaining his views upon the present conditions of affairs in Wil mington. Col. Foster said he fully recognized the fact that the situation here was ex tremely grave, with imminent danger of trouble between the races, which, as a business man and a citizen he earnestly deprecated, as he believed that the city would not recover from the ill effects of such a conflict in years to come. He recognized the unrest that prevails in the community, and continuing said : ''Taking into consideration the de termined will and set purpose of the citizens who represent the class of our citizens who pay 95 per cent, of the taxes to take control of affairs, I have remarked to quite a number of people. and am still of the opinion, that it would be best at this time for the Re publicans not to put a county ticket in the field. "While I say this, I want to emphasize the fact that I firmly be lieve in the principles of the Republi can party. In speaking further of the terrible condition of affairs here, Colonel Fos ter said he recognized the fact that the present : movement was one by the business men and tax-payers of the community to administer and control their affairs. "I think," he said, "that the representatives of 95 per cent, of the taxes paid ought to control. They ought not to be deprived of the privi lege of controlling the administration of their affairs. I want no citizen deprived of any of his rights or priv ileges to which he is entitled by reason of his intelligence and moral worth, yet l am heartily in favor or the con trol of; affairs by the intelligence, character and property interests of any community.' Being asked with regard to the numbef of colored officeholders in New Hanover county. Colonel Foster said that before reading Postmaster W. H. Chadbourn's letter stating -that there are thirty-six colored magistrates in the ' county, he had no idea that there were over a half dozen. Toe Uolonel audea that in giving the advice about not putting a Repub lican county ticket in the field and ex pressing the views above, he fully be lieves that he is acting in the best interests of the colored man. SLOW BICYCLE THIEF. Stole a Wheel From Yopp's Bicycle Store But Caught Soon After. j Late yesterday afternoon a strange negro came into Mr. A. if. xopps bicycle establishment on Second street and asked to be shown a wheel. A clerk in the store showed' him one, but ascertaining that the negro had no money, soon leit him ana paia him no further attention. Later, it was discovered that the wheel the ne gro was looking at was gone. There was no clue to the thief until last night a strange negro came into Paul's confectionary store on Princess street and offered to sell the wheel to Mr. David .Faul. The negro seemed very anxious to sell the wheel at once, and from his conversation Mr. Paul was led to believe the wheel was stolen, and Sergeant Hewlett, of the police force, was notified. He came down to Mr. Paul's store and after some questioning decided to hold the negro on suspicion. Mr. C. E, Fisher, a clerk in Mr. Yopp's store, was called in and identified the wheel as the one stolen and the negro, as the one who was loitering around in the store early in the evening. Ser geant Hewlett, upon this identifica tion immediately locked up the thief, who gave several aliases. It later developed that the negro was from Magnolia, N. C, and came here with Mr. Pickett, a cattle dealer. Two other negroes, who also came alonsr with Mr. Pickett, say they saw him steal the wheel and advised him to return it. The negro's correct name is Pat Murphy. He will have a hearing before Mayor Wright to day. RED SPRINGS SPEAKING. White People Preparing to "Hold Robeson and Save the State."

A marriage announcement Mr. B. City, F. Mitchell, Formerly of This to Wed Miss Madison, of Bloomfield, New Jersey. Cards of invitation were received here yesterday announcing the mar riage of Mr. Benjamin F. Mitchell, a well known former Wilmingtonian, but now a rising young architect of Bloomfield, N. J., to Miss Fannie E. Madison of that city, the wedding to be celebrated Nov. 2nd. The cards read as follows : "Mr. and Mrs. Robert Madison request the honor of your presence at the marriage of their daughter, Fannie Elton, ! to J ' Benjamin Franklin Mitchell, on Wednesday evening.

YESTERDAY'S FOOT BALL GAME. 0. U. D's Whitewash the Chesnut Streeters By a Score of 1 1 to 0. A complete whitewash of the Ches nut Street eleven was the result of the game of foot ball on the Hilton Park gridiron yesterday afternoon between the O. U. D. and Chesnut Street elevens, the score standing 11 to 0 in favor of the O. U. D. boys when time' was called for the finish. 1 The O. U. D. boys say they will not play the Chesnut Streeters any more, and pronounce them entirely too light for them. Russell Foster umpired yesterday's game. Altra Jewett was time keeper and Julius Sullivan served as lines man. The star plays for the O. U. D. eleven were made by Meares, Davis, Miller, and Grant. The best plays for the Chesnut street elevenwere made by R. Schulken and W. .Peschau. Yesterday's line up wasas follows: O. U. D. POSITION. CHESNUT ST.

Tienken's Barber Shop Yesterday Forenoon. There was a small fire in Mr. Wm. Tienken's white man's barber shop,. on irrincess street, yesterday iore- noon. No alarm was sent in to the fire department, Mr. William Halfner, one ot the expert oar hers, naving served effectively as fireman. A match seems to have fallen into a waste basket sitting under the wall mirrored cases and ignited the contents. When discovered by Mr. Halfner the flames were well out ot the basset ana were rapidly charring the oak finish case. The basket was thrown into the street and the fire on the case smothered out. Mr. Jno. Haar, who is with' Messrs. Stedman and Chadbourn, in surance agents, with whom the barber shop fixtures are insured, called at the store and estimated the damage at $2.50, which was paid to Mr. Tienken before 3 o'clock in the afternoon. WERE AFTER PROVISIONS. Mr. W. H. Badon's Pantry Entered and a Number of Things Stolen. Yesterday brought to light another of the many petty burglaries that have been going on in the city for several months. This time it seems that the thief was after something for "the inner man," and made a raid on tne pantry of Mr. W. H. Badon, who lives on Chesnut street, ' between Seventh and Eighth. The pantry had two locks on it and both were locked night before last. . Yesterday morning it was discovered that both locks had been unlocked in some way, presuma bly ' by duplicate keys, and tnat a quantity of provisions, including a large ham, had been stolen. Mr. Badon had only moved into the house the day before and no doubt the super stitions would say that this is an evil omeu. mere is no clue to tne tnier. The Show Last Night. The Peruchi - Beldeni Company played "The Black Mask" before rather a smau audience last nignt. many features of the play and several specialties were liberally cheered. To night "Rip Van Winkle" will be the bill. There will be a matinee Satur day, and the final engagement of the company will De played Saturday night. Magistrates' Courts. Irene Taylor submitted before J ustice McGowan yesterday morning for dis orderly conduct, and was dismissed on payment of costs Lucy Gillam was tried in Justice Fowler's court for dis orderly conduct and found guilty.

Big Crowd of Wilmingtoaians Leave This Morning for Fayetteville Speaking. As has been frequently stated in the Star the big Cumberland Rally at Fayetteville comes off toaay, and Wilmington will send a large delega tion there for the event. Capt. J. I. Metts, who has been arranging mat ters for the veterans, says a large number. of them are expecting to at tend, many of whom will be in uni form. The old veterans always lend dignity and (enthusiasm to meetings of this kind and Wilmington is glad to contribute her quota. The Fifth Ward delegation, which is said to be quite large, is to meet at Fifth street market early this morning, and headed by the Wilmington Brass Band, is to march to the train.

THEIR NINTH ANNIVERSARY. The Menrert Mission Circle Held a De lightful Birthday Reception In Me .1 morial Hall List Night. Very many people , responded to the invitation of the Mengert Mission Circle of St. Paul's Lutheran Church to attend a birthday reception in honor of the Circle's ninth anniversary in Memorial Hall last night, and an even ing fraught with very much pleasure was; afforded every one. Withal a creditable sum of money was realized. The ladies of the Circle arranged a delightfnl musical programme, after the admirable rendition of which sea sonable refreshments were served. The first feature of the programme was, an exquisite vocal trio by Mrs. J. H. Rehder, Miss Stolber and Miss Adrian. : The Circle's efficient secretary, Mrs. P. Bisainger, read a creditable re port reviewing the work of the Men gerjt Mission Circle during the nine years since its organization. A mandolin club, composed of five gentlemen, rendered two selections, which were well received. The mem bers of the club are Mr. Charles Motte, Mr.i Dick Piatt, Mr. Ed. Warren, Mr. Ed. Heinsberger and Mr. F. W. Ort- mann. Miss Annie Adrian charmed the audience with her . excellent rendition of a; vocal solo, "Good Bye." A vocal duet was sung by Mrs. J. H, Kehlder and Mr. Will Rehder. The title! was "Love's Dream is Ended The. rendition was all that could be desired. The same trio of vocalists who sang the first number then rendered 'Twi light," after which the programme was' concluded w&h another stirring selection by the Mandolin Club. The Star congratulates the Mengert Circle both upon the success of their celebration and the excellent work ac complished during their nine years career. IN NEW HANOVER JAIL. Brunswick Prisoners Here on Their Way ; to the State Penitentiary. Four prisoners, sentenced for various terms to the State penitentiary at the late session of Brunswick Criminal Court, were brought up from South- port to the city on the steamer Wil mington yesterday by Sheriff Ward and Deputies Skipper and Somersett. Thev were ' lodged in New Hanover jail last night and will be taken to the penitentiary at Raleigh to-day. Among the number was Sam Calla way,, the negro, who some time ago shot, Mr. B. F. Penny, of this city, particulars of which are perfectly familiar to Star readers. He goes to the penitentiary for only two years. the maximum penalty in a case or an assault with a pistol. The Southport Standard says that considerable in terest was taken in the case and dis gust was expressed by many at the .laxity of the law in such cases. The others who were brought up are, K. i . Williams, white, bigamy, 2 years ; F. Revels, col., larceny, four months; Charles Fulward, col., lar ceny! four months. WILL CARRY THE STATE. County That Qave a Larre Fusion Majority Will Oo Democratic I This Year. ' Charlotte Observer. ;.We believe the Democrats are to carry the State next month, The ma jority against them is formidable, but there are cases in which obstacles count for nothing. Talking recently with a Democratic citizen of a county which in the last election gave an enormous fusion majority, he declared to the writer, with the utmost confi dence, that it would go Democratic this year. "But how are you going to carry it? he was asked. 1 don't know, was the reply, "but we are going to carry it" That is the spirit which wins victories, removes moun tains or does almost anything. When the Anglo-Saxon wills to do a thing he finds a way. That is the history of the race, and the Anglo-Saxon people of North Carolina are aroused now as we have never known before. Their dearest interests are at stake and they propose to safeguard them. BY RIVER; AND RAIL. Receipts of Naval Stores aod Cotton Yesterday. W. & W.

C, io Richmond, Va, The Richmond, Va. papers of yes terday contain full accounts of a fatal accident to Mr. SamueJ R. Carmon, of that city, formerly of Fayetteville, and a nephew of Capt. Sam'l Carmon, the well known A. C. L. conductor of this city. The Richmond Dispatch says: ' Mr. Samuel R. Carmon, yard con ductor of the Chesapeake and Ohio at Orleans street, met a horrible death on the yards this (Thursday) morning, at 6 minutes past 12 o'clock. He was at the timn intending the making up of trains on the yards, and attempted to cross the uTJcs aueaQ oi a train, which was be ing shoved toward a car for couDlinir purposes. He was not quick enough however to avoid the cars, and wm caught between the coupler. Hi, body was ground almost to a pulp art ri ha 11 a lifl i . tracks. xne poay was lifted up from the ground and borne to the nULfnm ... by, where later in the night the coro ner viewed it., The remains were then turned over to Undertaker Christian, to be prepared for burial. Mr. Carmon had not been here a great while. He came here from Fay etteville, N. C, an J boarded at 712 Louisiana street. He was about 30 years of age, and unmarried, and was exceedingly popular with his asso ciates. THE SITUATION HERE. The Charlotte ObMcrcer, after re ferring to an extract from an exchange in which the condition of affairs here was compared to a magazine, says: The editor of the (bitervcr had a private letter last week from a friend in Wilmington who stated the case in almost the foregoing language his language was that the striking of a parlor match would start the blaze. Another letter from this same friend, received Tues day night, said that there is no guessing what will happen there be tween this time and election day, or then, but that he proposed to send his family out of the citv before the elh of November. Wilmington ladies, summering in Western North Caro lina, have been heard to express dread at the thought of going home before the election. As much as a month ago we heard, upon high authority what has never been printed before that the white men of Wilmington are organ ized and prepared for whatever may come, and that a certain section of the city, described by a triangle, has been laid off, and within this well under stood boundary the women and chil dren are to be massed for protection when the anticipated trouble begins. It is not too much to say that life under such circumstances as those here described is not worth living. This constant expectation of some thing dreadful to happen i worse than the event. We do not see how men can work or women sleep with such a cloud hanging over them We may be permitted to express the hope and the belief that if there is a clash of arms at Wilmington the negroes are not the only Republicans who will suffer. The white scoundrels who are the mainspring of their conduct should be attended to first. MAJ. CHARLES M. STEDMAN. The Charleston News and Courier Pays Him a Compliment. The Charleston News and Courier, referring to the announcement that Major Stedman would take the stump, says: North Carolina has no more loyal son than Charles M. Stedman. Always true to his State and to himself, he possesses the confidence of the people in a marked degree, and it is well that in the present crisis he should be called into service. Since the death of Zeb Vance he is the most eloquent and powerful speaker in the State, and we are sure that he will arouse the white people of the Old North State to a full conception of their danger and duty. In the present contest there t a no mid dle-ground the civilization of the white man is in peril, and b teaman is in the front line of battle. If the peo ple will follow wherehe leads, the vic tory will be won. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Boy Wanted. A ME8SENQER BOY 1 wanted at tbe Star office Night work mainly. oc 31 St OPERA HOUSE.
