0a Carolina Beach.
Wilmington celebrated the "Glori
ous Fourth" on Wrightsville Beach
and Carolina Beach, and that the cele
bration was successful and enjoyable
to a hieh degree is the unanimniu
verdict of the thousandsof people,
Wilmingtonians and visitors, who
participated. The threatening weather
conditions which prevailed during the
forenoon, and particularly the rain,
which fell in torrents between 9 and
10.30 A. M., kept the people Indoors.
But this merely prepared them for all
the greater appreciation of the bright
sunshine and refreshing breezes which
prevailed during the afternoon and
the beautiful star light evening which
followed. And the increased travel
on the Seacoast Railroad to Wrights
ville Beach and on the steamer Wil
mington to Carolina Beach taxed these
commodious carriers to their utmost
capacity duriag their numerous after
noon and evening trips.
The Yacht Races
To Carolina Yacht Club, on Wrights
ville Beach, is due much credit for the
extensive and interesting Fourth of
July celebrations, which have come to
be of regular recurrence in Wilming

which is the yacht races.

established in previous years. As
usual the club house and grounds
were open to members of other clubs
and their friends.
The races were witnessed this year
by several hundred people and were
among the most successful in the his

boat making the highest record in
three consecutive race s.
There was music and dancing at
Carolina Club during the entire day
and evening.

The Atlantic Yacht Club's observ
ance of the Fourth was thoroughly
successful. The club house was pro
fusely and tastefully decorated with
buntings and 'flags. An excellent
band discoursed delightful music, and
there were many merry dances during
the afternoon and evening. The
grounds were butifully illuminated
during the evening.
The Bicycle Races.
Much interest centred in the bicycle
races, which were run between 12 and
1 o'clock, the finish being in front of
Seashore Hotel. Quarter, half and
mile races were run. J. Hardy Le
Gwin won the Tjuarter mile race in

At the Hotels.
The two hotels on Wrightsville
Beach were taxed to their utmost
capacity. At the Seashore Hotel there
was music and dancing during much
of the day and the greater portion of
the evening.
A special feature at Ocean View Ho
tel was a grand display of fireworks.
There were numerous flaming tar
barrels sky rockets, etc. galoria.
The fishing boat races and other
Wrightsville Beach features of cele

On Carolina Beach.
The steamer Wilmington carried
many pleasure seekers to Carolina
Beach. The excursion by Concordia
Castle Knights of the Golden Eagle,
was very successful. The Sedgeley
Hall and Hanover seaside clubs, "and
Oceanic Hotel were the scenes' of
especially delightful festivities. There
was also music and dancing at the
public pavilion. In addition to the
crowds at Carolina Beach probably
200 or more Wilmingtonians spent at
least a portion of the day at Lake Wac
camaw. ,
The 1899 observance of the "Glori
ous Fourth" will be quite pleasantly
remembered by Wilmingtonians and
their guests.
A NEGRO ROBBED
THREE P0ST0FFICES.
Caught Looting Burlaw Office Monday
Night Previously Robbed Willard
and Sooth Washington Offices.
William White, colored, a train
hand who has been running on the
local freight between here and Golds
boro, was ctught in the act of rob
bing the postottice at Burgaw Monday
night.
The negro had been closely shad
owed, so a Star reporter was informed
yesterday by Bruce Williams, Esq.,
since the robbery of the postoffice at
Willard, noted about ten days ago in
the Stab. White acknowledged after
he was arrested Monday night that he
looted the Willard postoffice, and also
that h9 broke into the South Wash
ington postoffice a few hours prior to
his arrest in the office at Burgaw. He
seems to have started out as a profes
sional burglar, and carried a small
cold chisel which he used in prizing
open doors.
A party of five or six officers and
citizens discovered White in the rail
road warehouse in Burgaw, let him do
his work there and then shadowed
him across to the postoffice, where
they arrested him. In the warehouse
he went through a number of express
packages and very much injured the
express agent's iron safe, which he at
tempted to break opeu. The officers
found about $20 in money on White's
persoD, about $15 vas in nickels and
other small change, and was concealed
in his shoes. He had taken about $40
from the Willard and about $10 from
the South Washington office. To
Bruce Williams, Esq., is due much
credit for capturing the negro, the
case having been turned over to him
when the office at Willard was robbed.
It was in compliance with instructions
from Mr. Williams that the negro was
shadowed Monday night from Little
Washington to Burgaw.
United States Commissioner S. P.
Collier went up to Burgaw yesterday
and made the preliminary investiga
tion, commiting the prisoner to jail in
default of $1,000 bond to await trial at
the next term of the U.S. District Court
He was brought to this city for im
prisonment. When the United States shall
have gotten through with White pro
ceedings will be instituted against him
on the part of the State for breaking
into the Burgaw warehouse, Mr. Will
iams having already filed a warrant
with the sheriff of Pender county.
Portable Convict Cells.
Yesterday afternoon at the Court
House, a Star representative saw a
photograph of a new steel cell mount
ed on wheels for use in road building
by convicts. From the picture, one
would judge that the cell is about fifty
feet in length and in it are sleeping
accommodations for thirty laborers.
The cell is portable and designed for
service, where the convicts are con
stantly being moved from one place
to another, as it can easily be drawn
by from four to eight horses along or
dinary roads. The County Commis
sioners, if they should decide to make
the common road law operative in
New Hanover county, may decide to
buy one of these cells for the use of
convicts on the roads and the photo
graph is submitted by a cell builder,
with this end in view. The cost of
these cells complete for thirty prison
ers, is $400.
A Bis Blowout.
Mr. Geo. H. Currie, representative
for Bladen county in the last Legisla
ture, was here yesterday. To a mem
ber of the Star staff he said that Clark
ton is arranging for a grand jubilee
on July 12th. A feature of the event
will be an address by Prof. Massey, of
the State Agricultural Department.
There will be good music and numer
ous sources of amusement. The fes
tivities will be in the big new tobacco
warehouse, which will be completed by
that time. It will be of interest to note
in this connection that the new ware
house will be opened for the sale of
leaf tobacco on the 25th inst. Mr.
Currie says tha't quite a large crop
of tobacco has been planted in Pender
and is growing nicely. The ware
house is expected to do a big business.

RNING
WANTED TO LEAVE THE CITY.
Negro Who Wrote Incendiary Letter to
Mr. Terry Asked for Escort Oat
side City Limits.
A large cro wd of both white and col
ored persons assembled at Justice Mc
Gowan's office yesterday afternoon to
hear the investigation of the ' charge
against Holly Blue.the negro at whose
instigation his twelve year old son, in
dicted a slanderous and infamous letter
to Deputy Sheriff S. H. Terry, par
ticulars of which were printed in the
Star Sunday.
The boy testified that he wrote the
letter and that his father for ser
vices in so doing, paid him the sum
of two cents.
Blue of his o wn accord made a state
ment to the effect that in - passing
a crowd of negroes in "Brooklyn,"
among whom was Will Bell, the negro
whose name was forged to the
letter, he heard them make
dire threats against Mr. Terry
and that the expressions embodied in
the letter were those used by Bell, and
he therefore felt it his duty as a friend
of Mr. Terry to apprise him of the
threats .made by Bell, so as he would
be on his guard against possible in
jury. Being cross-questioned, he said
that the reason he denied all knowl
edge of the affair when arrested Satur
day night was that he was under the
influence of liquor and thought it best
to withold his statement until he be
came sober so as to make it plain to
the officers.
Will Bell testified that he knew
nothing of the letter. He proved an
excellent character and was exonerated
of all blame. '
The evidence was not sufficient to
hold Blue for the higher courts, but in
dismissing him, Justice McGowan
warned him against such practices as
he had been engaged in; he impressed
upon him the gravity of the offence
and showed wherein the law would
not admit of punishment in a case of
such peculiar status.
Blue also about this time recognized
the position into which he had thrown
himself, and asked for an officer of the
law to see him safely outside the city.
He was turned over to Lieutenant of
Police F. T. Skipper, who detailed a
policeman to escort him to the 7
o'clock train on the W. & W. road,
by which he left the city last night.
THESE CELEBRATED THE FOURTH.'

Prisoner Attempts Suicide.
James Pearsall, one of the negroes
in jail awaiting trial for complicity in
the stealing of a large brass pump
from the Atlantic Coast Line, yester
day morning attempted suicide by tak
ing with his breakfast a quantity of
powdered glass, which he procured
in some way from the corridor of the
jail. Fortunately for the negro, how
ever, Jailer Millis discovered the at
tempt in time tq save his life and took
the glass from him. In his cell was
also found a quantity of glass parti
ally powdered. This also was taken
from him. Mr. Millis says on several
other occasions similar attempts at
suicide have been made by Pearsall,
but by watching him closely he has
thwarted his plans. Pearsall is also
said to have begged persistently some
of his fellow prisoners to secure for
him some of the carbolic acid used for
disinfecting purposes about the prem
ises. Jailer Millis now has him con
fined closely in a cell. Dr. McMillan,
the county physician, was summoned
after the attempt yesterday morning,
but found that he had not succeeded
in swallowing any of the glass.
Another Brass Thief.
Hurley Sampson colored, the third
and it is thought the principal defen
dant in the cases of the negro boys
who broke into the office of the Clar
endon Water Works Company, was
arrested yesterday by Constable
Sheehan. It will be remembered that
on the occasion of the robbery a quan
tity of brass fixtures was stolen and
sold to a junk dealer, and that subse
quently the negroes were arrested and
placed in jail to await trial by the Cir
cuit Criminal Court Sampson was
arraigned before Justice Fowler yes-,
terday and the evidence again heard in
the case, with the result that he also
was committed to jail in default of
$100 bond for his appearance at the
Criminal Court
