Coroner Price was called upon yed terday afternoon to hold an inquest jover.the body of Robert Howe, a middle-aged colored man, who dropped dead in the city prison about 3.30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. . The circumstances of, his commit ment to the guard house and subse quent death are about as follows : Yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock, Howe, with another negro, whose identity is unknown to the coroner's jury, became involved in a quarrel near the corner of Front and Nun streets, with two young white men, John McEntee and Henry Barr. After the affray, Howe, fearing arrest by the police, ran down Nun to Second street and thence down Second until he was halted and arrested by Police man Winner, who is the. officer on guard at the quarantined resi dence of Mr.- W. S. Warrock. Policeman Winner then turned Howe over to Mr. W. H. Kerman, with in structions to carry him to the City Hall, while he (Winner) went in search of the other participants in the fight. The prisoner according to in structions was delivered ,to Janitor Benson at police headquarters, who placed him in the corridor of the cell department of the city- prison. While turning away, jast after lock ing the door, Benson heard the negro fall and turning saw him lying on his back on the floor of the prison. He re opened the door and upon reach ing the negro's side found, that Howe was scarcely breathing. Mr. Benson with all the haste possible, notified Dr. McMillan, city physician, of the occurrence, and the latter arrived just as the negro breathed his last. Dr. Price, the Coroner, summoned tke following jury of inquest, which convened at 4:30 o'clock, about an hour after the death: Harry Hill (fore man) C. D.Jacobs, E. G. Yopp, J." W. Price, J. M. Chesnut and R. Shaw. In view of the very sudden death of the negro, the officers of the forca and a number of privates immedi ately instituted a search for the two young white men, which was rewarded with the arrest of McEntee. Barr, the other white combatant, Wuld not be found, although diligent search was made; but about 8 o'clock last night he gave himself up to Sheriff MacRae and was placed in the county jail. McEntee is confined in the city prison. After viewing the" body of the de ceased in the guard house, the coro ner's jury assembled in the grand jury room of the Court House and the testi mony of a number of witnesses was heard. . Janitor R. A. Benson, who locked the negro up, testified to the facts of -the commitment, as already stated. When placed in the guard house the negro was apparently sober, , appeared not to be suffering, but was somewhat excited; said he had been "fighting a little ;" the customary search of his pockets revealed a pocket-knife and something over a dollar in silver coin ; there were no noticeable marks of violence on his body ; the floor of the prison upon which ne leu was oi wood. Mr. J. C. Meier, the next witness, saw the nght at a distance or about a block and a half ; Baw the- negro ar rested by Mr. Kerman and carried down street; he was walking with no difficulty and did not appear to be in jured. W. H. Kerman, who made the ar rest, saw the deceased, whom he viewed in the city prison, and Jno. McEntee and Henry "Barr fighting at the corner of Front and Nun streets ; saw McEntee strike several times at deceased but did not see any weapon ; negro also struck at McHntee; negro ran and he gave chase ; Policeman Winner made the arrest and he (Ker man) carried 'Howeto the City Hall. Deceased complained of his head hurt ing him. but was apparently not injured severely; deceased told him McEntee struck him with a stone in the face, also said McEntee threw a rock at him and struck Barr; saw him when he fell on the city prison floor but did not know' that his head struck. Clarence H. Bonham, a city cart driver, testified that he saw Barr, the deceased, another white man and a negro whom he did-not know, fighting at the place specified; Barr and de ceased were scuffling, the second negro interfered and McEntee took the part of Barr. Barr and deceased were hit inthe head about the same time ; saw blood running from a gash in Barr's head; saw, deceased hit Barr with a brick but did not see Barr with any brick; Barr retired from the fight and asked witness to tie up his head; after retirement of Barr, deceased and Mc Entee exchanged several blows ; thej at length parted and McEntee said he would give deceased just three min utes to get away ; the negro started off and McEntee attempted to snatch a paling from the fence but did not suc ceed ; Kerman came up and ordered deceased to halt; both ran down Nun street and soon Kerman returned with deceased under arrest; he was ap parently uninjured. J. B., J. W. and J. T. Matthews, other citv cart drivers, corroborated Bonham's testimony.' . The coroner's jury, after a session of about two hours,' then adjourned, af ter ordering an autopsy to be per formed, which order was: fulfilled by rra McMillan ' Burbank and Price last night about 10.30, o'clock. McEntee's statement of the affair is that he engaged in a fight with the de ceased, but that he used, no deadly weapon. To corroborate McKntee's testimony, no mark, save a small con tusion at the back of the head and a slight scar nearhe right eye, is visi ble on the body. 1 , Howe is a brick mason and has been in Wilmington for a number of years. He was considered an impudent negro, and it is said the fight in question was caused by the negro's attempting to push the young men from the sidewalk. The autopsy was . concluded this morning about l'o'clock. The report will be made upon the reassembling of the coroner's jury to-morrow morning at 11 -o'clock. j The body of the deceased was turned over to the colored undertaker Evans for preparation for burial, upon con clusion of the autopsy. r THE CLARK-YOUNG .

Near Sonthport While Their Baggage is , Being Disinfected. j! Special Star Telegram. Southport, N. C, April t. The government is making inquiries ai. to the suitability of this port' for receiv ing a transport with soldiers from Cuba, and having their baggage disin-. fected by the quarantine authorities here. Dr. Brown, quarantine i physi cian, has been making inquiries-to-day in regard to selecting a site for .soldiers to go into camp while waiting for disinfection. Several sites have been thought of; but if is decided to use this port, "Fort Fisher" and adjacent grounds will probably be selected as most advantageous for a camp.: With the facilities now at the quarantine station, it will probably take two or three weeks to fumigate the baggage of a regiment, so as to allow them to enter Wilmington and proceed to their destination to be mustered out,!

JN". boys claim to have some surprises in store far ahead of anything the Coast Line has. v In the near future the boys propose to give a special entertainment for the purpose of raising money to equip the two teams. Managers Hatch and Sin clair claim that this entertainment will be far superior to any local entertain ment held in the city this season. CATHARINE KENNEDY HOME.

She has two very small patches of the lettuce growing at her home and says that she has culti vated and cut the entire crop by herself, from which she will realize about $150.
