TERRY-HOWARD AFFAIR.
J. Tilman Howard Again Taken In Cus
tody Charged by His Wife With
Abandonment.
J; Tilman Howard, the young white
man who recently gained much un
coveted publicity on account of his
connection with the domestic troubles
of W. R. Terry,, editor of the Spirt
of the . South, j Charlotte, is again
figuring in-the police court, this time
on the charge of abandonment pre
ferred by his wife, i i
It will be remembered that Howard
was arrested some time ago on three
warrants, one of which charged aban
donment, preferment of charges being
by Terry, who traced the departure of
Mrs. Terry and children from his
home to the yOung man Howard. The
failure of Charlotte authorities - to
communicate with officials here, the
release from custody of Howard arad
the subsequent attempt upon the life
of Howard by Terry, are also familiar
to Star readers, j I - ' 1 L
Terry was arrested at the time for
the assault on1 Howard, but judgment
was suspended upon condition that he
leave the city; and, upon doing so, the
matter was allowed to drop until Sun
day night,' when Mrs. Howard, whose
home is in Wilmington, approached
Policeman J. M. King on his beat and
demanded the' arrest of her husband,'
saying that she; would accompany him
to police headquarters and prefer the
charge. ! -' ;
Policeman King then went to a
boarding . house - on Dock street, at
which Mrs. -Terry is now living, ar
rested Howard and carried him to the .
City Hall, where he was held in cus
tody until tte Mayor's Court yester
day, when, jupon motion of Her
bert McClammy, ' Esq., counsel for
Mrs. Howard, the case was continued
until this morning at the usual .hour
for holding the police court. Howard
was recognized! for his appearance at
that time. " II .
Both sides have employed counsel,
and the case promises to involve a
lively legal contest. j

yesterday morning, who, it - is said,

charge. - A j';'
$150,000 IN BONDS.
Floated by City!
Yesterday to Refund Old
-Substantial Premium
Indebtedness
Secured Large Saving.
Chairman' H. C. McQueen, of the
Board of Audit and Finance, and
Mayor Waddell yesterday negotiated
the sale of,$150,000 of city four per cent
bonds, soon to be issued by authority
granted 'the City by the last Legisla
ture, for liquidation of old bonded
indebtedness to the same amount.
Early last Fall, prominent members
of the Boards of Audit and Finance
and Aldermen conceived the idea that
the city's bonds could be floated at a
much lower"! rate of interest than is
now being paid, viz five per cent, and
as soon as the Legislature met a move
ment was set; on foot having in view
the issuance of $150,000 four per cent
bonds, the proceeds to be used in pay
ing the old debt upon ' which the city
is paying five per cent interest
The bill became a law and soon .
after, the Board of Audit and Finance
. . . '
made public: the fact that within a
reasonable time, bonds to this amount
would be for sale in denominations to
suit purchasers. This announcement
was responded to liberally andon yes
terday, the' day set for opening bids,
Chairman McQueen and' Mayor Wad
dell opened the large number of bids
received and made a sale to Messrs.
E. H. Rollins & Son, of Boston, the
highest bidders, i who offered to take
them at a premium of $2,200; The
next highest bid was that of $2,195
premium from Messrs. Kleybolte &
Co., bankers and brokers, of Cin
cinnati. I j , i; ''
These firms, as also did one other
Boston house, had personal represen
tatives here to look after the sale. :
By the 'refunding of this debt at a
lower rate of interest by one pei; cent
this administration has saved for the
city $1,500 for thirteen years, at the
expiration' of which time the old bonds
drawing five per centj would have ma
tured. In addition to this, the premium
paid for the bonds yesterday is a saving
of $2,200.1 ( 1
The new bonds sold will be engraved
and turned over to the purchasers as.
soon as possible. J j

conveniently arranged naptha launch
that has ever been seen in Wilming

inches, i and ; water line twenty
feet It draws twenty-four inches, and
has- for its motive power a modern
Wolverine engine of four horse power,
fitted with all modern appliances.
The hull is painted green and white,
