There are to ba a number of formal receptions by several of Wilmington's raost oooular vouDfir ladies.

The leading attraction for society to morrow will be the great foot ball ffame between the O. A. N. and A. C. L. teams. The players are composed of Wilmington's foremost youug men and will attract a large and represen tative company of spectators.

About 1 05 o'clock this morning fire was discovered in the store buudine, corner Front and Princess, occupied by Mr. I. H, Weil as a gentleman's furnishing establishment. The blaze was discovered by Wade Wishart, Esq., 'of White ville. The alarm was sent in from Box 41. There was some delay in the response of the fire de partment because they had not re turned from a response to an alarm at the coraer f Seventh and Queen. It was probaoly fifteen mmutes before water was thrown on the fire. How ever, it? was quickly extinguished. Damage to to the building was proba bly about, $25. The stock is badly damafpd bv smoke. The fact that door nor windows were broken open before the department arrived proba bly accounts for the tardiness of the fire in spreading. The building is owned by Mr. Geo. R. French. The insurance on both stock and building is placed witlj Messrs J. H. Roatwrit & Son and Messrs. Sted- man & Chadbourn' The fire i3 attributed to the explo sion of a lamp which was left burning in the rear of the store. The Fifth and Queen Street Fire.

Remaining Uncalled For in the Wilming ton Postoffice December 24th, 1898. A ripple of excitement was created in medical circles here yesterday after noon bv a report from Dr. C. P. Wer tenbaker, of the Marine Hospital, that he had found a case of small pox. It seems that William Barnett, a negro carpenter, was sent to the Hospital by Lewis Guger, colored, to do a 30b of carpentering. While there ur. Wfirtanbaker noticed that he was badlv broken out, and after an exami nation pronounced it small pox, so reporting it to Dr. McMillan, superin tendent of health. The Board of Health was hurriedJy called toeether with Mayor Waddell, City Engineer McRee and Doctors Russell, McMillan, Wertenbaker and Harper present, and arrangements were maAa fnr immediate Quarantine to prevent the spread of the disease. Hart's vineyard, owned by Mr. Jii. Jr. Poiiav won pnfp.rfirl as a. nest house. It is about 3 miles-below the city. Barnett, the negro believed to have the small pox, was sent to the pest house, and Charles Jacobs installed as cook and Tony Swann as nurse. Capt. Bob Green, as chief quarantine mspec- fr haa tha matter in hand, and is usin? all diligence to, as it were, nip anv possible germs in the bud. Those associated with William Bar nett in work say that he has had this for auite a while, tne result of a serious chronic blood disease. Dr. Wertenbaker i3 an expert in small pox cases, and the Board of Health is to be commendeu for their remarkable promptness in taking every step needful to prevent contagion.

H0HICIDE IN LENOIR. The Chicaeo Inter-Ocean of the 21st prints the following interview with Mr. James H. Chadbourn, Jr., late Republican Treasurer of New nan- over county, but who voted the Demo cratic ticket in the recent election : James H. Chadbourn, Jr., of Wil mington, N. C, was at the Palmer Mouse yesterday. Mr. Chadbourn is president of the Wi Imiti crtsn C!hamhr nf Commerce and one of the leading business men of the city which was the scene 01 the recent race troubles. Ihe movement nrhiMi lorl in a nrotir-al rAvnlntirtn in Wilmington he declares to have been of a social and business rather than a political nature, and he says that the i pcrroes fired the shot that was the prelude of the killing of a number of their race. . "The real beginning of the recent IrnnhlAa in Wil mine tnn " said h tm- terday, "dates back to two years ago, v:nen ine newiy eieciea legislature, controlled by a combination of Re rmhlirnna and Pnnnlistjj najiflftd a law I -- I changing the charters of the principal cities, including Wilmington. Under the terms of tne new charier only nve of the ten aldermen were elected by popular vote, while the other five were appointed by the Republican Governor. This action 01 the Legislature was re-o-owlnt hv fhn hpttpr r.laAfi nf the pop ulation as a direct and odious infringe- ment upon the rignia 01 sen-srovprn-ment, and as such was deeply resented. Under this arraneremrnt four of our aldermen were negroes, representing practically no property intf rests Furl was added to the fire by thn crowing tendency of the negroes to nsseit themselves unduly, and a crisis was reached when the negro paper, the Record, published last August an article that was flagrantly offenhive to the white people, reflecting, as 11 , did, upon the character of whit i women. The vouneer element was held ia check at that time only with' great difficulty. The business men cf ; the city came to the conclusion that ; its commercial salvation depended 1 upon tho overthrow of the existing or der of things, and, accordingly, a strong, and, as it proved, successful ficrht. was made acainst the dominant elements at the November election. ( "On election day every roan voted, who had any desire to vote, and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the votes were honestly and fairly counted. It should be borne in mind that there was no bloodshed until after: the, AWiinn. After demolition of the; Record office a party of white men ... . , 1 , 1 was nred upon oy negroes, ana oioou shed followed. I saw it stated in the Inter Ocean of yesterday that W. E. Henderson, a colored lawyer, who spoke here Sunday, claims to havej been driven out by tbreatal So far an I know there was no reason for Hen-j derson's leaving, as he was a quiet man, of good reputation. 1 never knew that any threats were mada against him. ; "The negroes or JNonn Carolina pay only 31 per cent, of the taxes, and it i$ inconceivable that the whites, who own practically all the property, and bear the burden of taxation, should submit quietly to be dominated by them. It is contrary to human na ture, and is especially opposed to the instincts or tne APgio- oaxoD. "The solution of the race problem is an educational restriction upon th ;hf at cTiffwicrp This fact is now ad- jmitted by the most intelligent colorej itntn Th nrpsidant of the neero statd college said as much to me in conver sation only a few days ago.
