Entered Cabin of Sharpie Early Yester day Morning and Stole $85 in Cash Prom the Captain. An unknown colored thief early yes terday morning broke into the cabin of the sharpie Ruth Darling, which was tied up at the wharf opposite the new market house, and stole a pair of pants in the pockets of which there was about $35 in greenback and coin. It was the boldest theft that has ben reported at police, headquarters for sometime, as the trousers were stolen from under the head of the sharpie's captain, Simon Davis, who was asleep on his bunk. Capt. Davis had just disposed of a cargo of watermelons, which he had brought up from Walnut Creek, Brunswick county, and the amoun t stolen was the proceeds of the sale. , The trousers, with the money, were put under his head the night previous for safe keeping, and he was awakened yesterday morning by the footsteps of a negro, whom he saw making his way to the wharf with the stolen property. Capt Davis, in his sleep ing apparel, immediately gave chase to the fleeing thief up Market street to "Fink's alley, where the trousers, minus the money, were dropped and the negro lost sight of. Officers were immediately put on track of the robber but no arrest fol lowed. The only clue to the direction the negro took was informatidn that he had been see a about 7 o'clock at Mr. Wm. Turley's store, on Fourth street between Harnett and Swann. He displayed a roll of money in mak tng a small purchase at the store and stated that he was going to leave in a few hours for Washington, D. C. Race Friday Afternoon.

A host of friends in Wilmington yesterday heard with profound sorrow of the death of Prof. E. Van Laer, which occurred yesterday morning at the Presbyterian Hospital in Phila delphia, where he was taken for treat ment only a few days before his demise. Prof. VanLaer had been in failing health for some time, and those more thoroughly acquainted with him knew that it was only a question of time when the dread disease, consumption, with which he was . afflicted, would prove fatal. Deceased was a member of the First Presbyterian Church, of which he was a faithful attendant and a valued member. A wife, two daughters and one son survive him. They are Mrs. G. W. Cherry, of Florence, S. C. ; Miss Louise VanLaer, of this city and Mr. Robert E. VanLaer, of New York, all of whom have the tenderest sympathy of many friends and acquaintances. The deceased was born in Dussel- dorf, Prussia, September 27th, 1844, and was therefore in the fifty-fifth year of his age. When about thirteen years of age, he came to New York and about thirty years ago he removed to Wilmington. On June 26th, 1871, he was married to Miss Matilda Schul ken, and has since resided here with the exception of three years spent in Salem, New Jersey, as professor of music in the Salem Conservatory. When he first came to Wilmington he taught in General Ransom's school of music. Later he was musical direc tor in Dr. Bernheim's school and has for the past several years conducted a wholesale and retail music establish ment at 402-404 North Fourth street. Besides his wife and children who survive him here, he has two sisters and one brother living in Prussia and a number of relatives residing in New York. The remains will arrive here on the Atlantic Coast Line at 9:45 o'clock this morning and the funeral will be conducted by Dr. Hoge, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church this after noon at 5 o clock from the late resi dence on Fourth street. The inter ment will be at Oa kdale cemetery. COUNTY TREASURER'S REPORT Statement for July Showiaf Receipts and Disbnrsements of General and Special Funds. The report of County Treasurer H. McL.

THE WATCH STEALING CASE. State Failed to Sustain Charge Against Negro Arrested Friday. Jno. Brown, the negro arrested by Deputy Sheriffs Flynn and Bland Fri day afternoon on suspicion of having stolen a watch from one of the Selma excursionists, was arraigned in Justice McGowan's court yesterday for an in vestigation. The negro had for his counsel Brooke G. Empie, Esq., and as the State, as prosecutor, failed to sustain the charge against the prisoner, he was released. He assigned as his reason for running when approached by the officers that he had been an on looker at a game of crap in Dross Neck a few hours before and he thought he was probably wanted for gambling. Brown is a brakeman on one of the freight trains running into Wilmington. Justice McGowan also tried John Carroll, colored, yesterday for dis orderly conduct The prosecution was adjudged a malicious one, and the prosecutor required to pay the costs.

Speir, Superintendent for North and South Carolina, inspecting the Wilmington exchange, especially the extensive improvement recently made and now in progress in the way of new cables and poles which is being done under the direction of Manager F. L. Wood ruff.

After leaving here Mr. Gentry be came manager or tne Atlanta rseii Telephone Exchange, and advanced steadily in promotion, having been elected superintendent of construction about three years ago. He is much pleased and surprised at the great industrial progress made by Wilmington since he was last here. It is probable that Mr. Gentry and Mr. Speir will both spend several days in the city. Referring to the Wilmington Ex change improvements, it will be of interest to state that the work now estimatedwill probably te completed within about two months. New poles, sixty, seventy and seventy-five feet in hight, are being placed on Princess, Fourth, Orange, Third, Ann and else where. New cables are also being placed on Princess and other streets.

There has been complaint about hating balls at Samaritan Hall. This is not the only hall where they have balls at night, and we do not stay all night. But notwithstanding we have drawn up plans to put a stop to parties lighting and cursing at this hall, we do not have balls to harm any one. We rent the hall to help pay for building it. We have drawn up plans ana given them to the Mayor and Chief of Police, which they endorse. We guarantee that parties renting said hall shall keep good order, or else the lanitor will close the hall at once. Trustees: James H. Davis, Chairman; J. S. Clark, W. W, Loften, Josh Bady, Alex. A.
