' The evidence thus far submitted shows that on Sunday last, " the de ceased went over to the Powers & Gibbs Co.'s factory across the river, and while there had a quarrel with another colored woman narae,d Sallie Bedencourt, and that the' Bed encourt woman made threats that she would poison the deceased. . ; Further testimony developed the fact that on Sunday night the deceased was very drunk and had to be assisted home by two colored men, the identity of whom the jury so far has baen un able to determine. i Her mother testified that Monday night she" became violently ill and that early yesterday morning she be came delirious and died very soon thereafter and so far as she was able to say, before her death the deceased displayed every symptom of being poispned. Her testimony was corrob orated by Dr. Price, who stated, after an examination of the body, that there was evidence of poisoning, i The ante-mortem statement of the deceased, to the effect that she be lieved she had been poisoned; was also introduced as evidence. : As soon as these facts had been de veloped, Coroner Price at once issued a warrant for the Bedencourt woman find she was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Flynn yesterday . afternoon and brought over from Powers & Gibbs factory and held in the sum of $100 until a verdict is rendered. She has retained Herbert McClammy, Esq., as counsel and he will appear for her at the investigation to-day. Policeman Jones Tried to End His Life j by Drinking Laudanum Last Night. No Reason Assigned. WILL BE MATINEE AND EVENING CONCERTS. OEFIOT AT. "VOTEE3 ; Of the City Democratic Primaries Held Monday, ifl.reh 18th, 1899, ae , Declared by the City Democratic Executive Committee. v 1 Wil- Policeman R. J. Jones attempted to commit suicide last night about half past ten o'clock at the City Hal! by taking an ounce of laudanum. I A few minutes before he committed the rash act, which came near ending his life, he walked into the City Court room and took a seat outside the outer railing and asked Janitor McClammy fopa glass. Having secured thiSi he drew from his pocket an ounce bottle of laudanum, deliberately poured 'it into the glass and drank it a single draught. " M , Janitor McClammy was surprised at his taking the entire! contents of what he thought was a bottle of medi cine and taking the bottle from Jones' hand, he was astonished to find that it was labelled "laudanum."---He jim mediately started back to the unfor tunate man, but before reaching his side, Jones tumbled to the floor in a stupor,' .' ! Police Sergeants Davis and Iiams and Captain of Police Furlong were in the room at the time and grasping the situation, they at I once telephoned for medical -aid anc set about to exercise the almost dying man, to arouse him from the stupor., Drs. McMillan and Russell respond ed to the alarm and arrived, on the scene a few minutes later. An emetic was given at first and other restora tives administered afterwards,:! but de spite their most faithful work for al most three hours it seemed that his case, was hopeless. At 1.30, however,, he began to revive and was recovering at ah early hour this morning, haying been carried to the city hospital.! He assigned no reason for his rash act, but it is surmised that he was in' great trouble over tne prolonged ana serious illness of his wife, who is how at the point of death at his home, near corner of Second and Ann streets; . He . was generally regardcc as a good officer, but yesterday he went to drinking and early in the after noon delivered his badge to Captain Furlong, thereby resigning his posi tion on the force.

Crowds of Ont-of-Town People Ex pected Finnigan's Ball Friday. The Opera House management has decided to have a matinee as well as an evening concert Thursday by the world-renowned British. Guards Band. The matinee is to be especially for the benefit of out-of-town people who can not stay over to the night performance. The prices at the matinee are to be 50 cents for children and 75 cents -for adults. The doors are to open . at 2 o'clock and the performance will begin at 2.30. . . ' . A competent corps of ushers will be on duty so as to avoid confusion, which has characterized some of the mati nees this season. There will be an entire change of programme for both concerts. i It will be of interest to note that in Atlanta the band was tendered a per fect ovation. A delegation of citizens met them at the depot, and every "at tention was showered upon them. The Constitution and the Journal accord the highest praise to the excellence of the band. The people of Wilmington may confidently expect a musical treat of the highest merit.

Harper, ac companied by Engineer Philip Piatt and others, expects to go to New York for the purpose of bringing Capt. Har per's new boat, 'the Manila, to this port, to be run in connection with tne steamer Wilmington in plying be tween this port and Southport. He expects to reach this city on the return trip some time next week and will personally pilot the boat down the coast from New York. Yesterday Capt. Harper received a telegram from Capt. Leta D. Potter, formerly of Southport, but now . of New York, saying that he had just tested the Manila, according to Capt. Harper's request, by a run up the Hudson river and pronounced -her thoroughly "O. K.," . staunch in every detail and fast as could be desired. The Mawici, is a brand new boat 70 feet long with a 15 foot beam and compound engines. She is admirably designed for passenger and freight ser vice, and is expected to render ac ceptable aid to Capt. Harper in hand ling the increasingly large . crowds of excursionists who patronize this re sort during' the seaside season. ' As was stated in the Star of yester day, a second primary will be held to day in the Fif thj Ward for the nomina tion of two Aldermen and also in the Second Ward for the selection of two members of the City Democratic Exe cutive Committee, the voters in these wards having failed to make nomina tions for these offices in the primaries held on Monday. In the Fifth Ward, at the first pri mary, there were six candidates for alderman and under the ruling of the Executive Committee the four for whom the highest ballot was cast, viz : Messrs. F. A. Montgomery, Jno. J. Bell, J. C. Walton and C. C. Parker, will have to ruri over again, the other two candidates,! Messrs. J. M. Mc Gowan and M. G. Tienken, being de clared ineligible to enter the second contest. The same officers as on Mon day, will preside at. the polls to day, and the returns will be madia regularly to the executive committee, which will meet to-night at the City Hall for the purpose of declaring the vote. In the Second Ward only candidates for members of the city Democratic Executive Committee will be voted for and these -returns will also be duly made to-night, i The registration books were open yesterday all day at the polling places in the different wards , but the registra tion was very light and in some of the wards not a registration was made during the entire day. So far, not a Republican vote has been registered. The books will close the day prior to the election; on next Thursday, 23rd. The March meeting of the Board of Directors of the Merchants Association will be held at 3.30 o'clock this afternoon in ' their . office in the Seaboard Air Line building. " ; Already plans are being laid for an interesting base- ball season in this city. The old A. "G. L. team will be reorganized for the season's sport and the O. A. N.'s will more vigorously than ever contend with them for the laurels of local championship. So that lovers of this popular game may well anticipate some fine games. ' I Last night the A. C. L. team met and elected Mr. James Sinclair, man ager; Mr. W. 8. Bernard, secretary and treasurer, and Mr. H; L. Sanders, captain. Mr. Sanders is an experi enced base ballist, and being quite a favorite among the boys, will doubt less prove a good leader. While the personnel of the team is not yet made up-it is safe to say that Page and Sel lers will officiate behind the bat ; Sweeney, Bagg and Pearsall will do the twirling; Sinclair or Rose will cover the first base; E. Jones, the second base ; Onslow, the third base ; Bidgood, short stop; B. Jones, left field; Genaust, center field, and -Sanders, right field.) i Several other boys who play good ball or are of the "stuff" which develops into good players, have applied for membership. The boys say they will certainly have ai"crack-a-jack" team. : Practices will begin at Hilton Park very soon and by May 1st the A. C. L.'sandO. A.
