C. L. Yard About 9.45 A. M Now at the City Hospital. Mrs. Sarah E. Wheeler, a widow lady who resides near the corner of Bladen and Fourth streets, .was quite painfully injured yesterday about 9.45 o'clock on the yard of the A. C. L. passenger depot, having been struck by a car attached to the shifting engine and knocked from the track along which she was walking. Her injuries were a broken leg, a broken shoulder and more or less painful bruises on other parts of the body. As near as can be ascertained the facts connected with the accident are that engineer Tom Lawther, with a shifting engine, was backing the cars composing train No. 41, from Rocky Mount, out of the car shed into the yard and when nearingthe Fourth street bridge ran the rear car against Mrs. Wheeler, who it seems was walk ing along side the track. There was also a negro woman on the track very near Mrs. Wheeler. She saw the approaching train and got out of the way, calling to Mrs. Wheeler to do likewise. Two train men also saw the danger to which Mrs. Wheeler was exposed and tried to attract her attention so that she would get away from the track, but to no avail. The right step of the rear car struck Mrs. Wheeler and ' knocked her off the track, inflicting the injuries as re counted above. Dr. Bullock, the Atlantic Coast Line surgeon, was hastily summoned and when he had done all he could under the circumstances for the suf fering woman, she was sent to the City Hospital. At a late hour last night she was resting easily, and there is thought to be no danger of fatal results. AN EXCITING RUNAWAY. Mr. aad Mrs. H. E. Bonitz Severely In- jored by Being Throws Prom a Barry Sunday Afternoon. Seventh street between Princess and Dock, was the scene of an excit ing runaway Sunday afternoon, and as a result or tne same lt. i. jw Bonitz, Wilmington's well known ar chitect, and wife, Mrs. Bonitz, were severely injured by being thrown vio lently from the buggy to which the frenzied animal was attached. 'A lit tle son of Mr. and Mrs. (nitz, scarce ly over a year old, was also in the buggy, but miraculously escaped. Mr. Bonitz's injuries consist of several bruises and gashes about the head and on the left leg, below the knee. Mrs. Bonitz escaped with leas injury, though the shock to her nervous sys tem, with the care of a little one in her arms, must have been terrible. The turn-out was hired by Mr. Bonitz from one of the down town stables to take his family for an ac customed Sunday afternoon drive, and after leaving the residence, No. 213 North Fifth street, the horse was driven along nicely to Princess and up Princess to Seventh street, where he became maddened, took the bit between his teeth and made a dash up the street, which Mr. Boditz, was un able to check, though he managed to keep him in the middle of the thoroughfare until a point near Dock street was reached, where the frenzied animal leaped to the sidewalk and completely demolished the buggy by running it against the shade trees growing along this way, throwing Mr. and Mrs. Bonitz and ohild from the vehicle with the result stated. The.tnjured persons were taken to their home, where Dr. Harriss wai summoned and administered the ne cessary medical attention. Mr. Bonitz desires to thank all those who rendered he and Mrs. Bonitz assistance in the unfortunate occur rence, and for many expressions of sympathy. He says he ho pea to be out again in a few days.

Wonnded Negro Will Recover, Bnt His Woold-be Murderer Gave Officers a Lively Chase Yesterday Morning. William Tucker, the negro who was shot and thought to have been fatally wounded early Sunday morning in a fight over a crap game at the house of Caleb Nichols, corner Eighth and Harnett streets, was reported yester day as doing very well at the City Hospital, where he was sent by Chief Parmele immediately after the shoot ing. . Eleven of the negroes who were in the house of Nichols at the lime of the shooting have been arrested and most of them are in the city prison. Those arrested are Ed. Davis, Wm. Holley, James Mills, ' James Betts, Lee Blocker, Gealy James, Charley Myers, Peter Stevens, alias "Peter Drake," Washington Wiley and Richard Bennett They all pretty well centre in their statements on a negro named Louis Nixon, alias "Sing," as the man who shot Tucker and yesterday morning Deputy Sheriff Hill Terry and Policeman Guy went up the Newbern railroad in search of him. They found him at Scott's Hill in the act of boarding the - freight train for Newbern but he was warned by one of the negro train hands that the offi cers were in the caboose, whereupon he took to his heels at the sight of the men who at that moment appeared on the scene and gave chase. The negro at one time dropped behind a tree and fired three times at Mr. Terry, the shots having been returned by the officer and a steady advance having been kept up. He at length fled from behind the tree under the fire and Mr. Terry continued his shots at him until he ran into a church, jumped out of a window and made his escape. Messrs. Terry and Guy returned to the city but went up to Scott's Hill again yesterday afternoon to look out for the offender whom they regard as a desperate character. It is believed that Tucker, the wounded negro, will recover. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. Capt. V. V. Richardson, of Whiteville, was here yesterday on a business trip. Mrs. M. G.

Burtt, the talented organist. The selection was very much appreciated by the large audience present FRED C. WHITNEY OPERA CO. Ms?

At the same time that Sheriff MacRae convened and announced a recess of the court yesterday Col. Jno. D. Tay lor, as clerk of the court, announced that all jurors summoned for the term were excused until to-morrow (Wed nesday) morning.

There is every indication that the present month will be the dryest Sep tember Wilmington and vicinity have experienced for several years. The normal rainfall for September is 6.42 inches and this is the 28th of the month and only .07 of an inch has fallen thus far, with indications de cidedly, according to the latest weather bureau map, against a rain fall of any consequence during the few days of the month which yet re main, there being a high barometer in the Northwest, with indications, of clear and cool weather. The rainfall during August was 5.79 inches, the most of any conse quence being on the afternoon of Au gust 24th, when there was a fall of 1.06. COTTON IN BOND. The News of Greenville, S. C, says : Old man Searles of New York is a good old man, and he is having his round-bale cotton idea extensively ad vertised. We see he has gone enthu siastically into the new sub-treasury scheme, the idea of which is to build great warehouses and advance to farmers 80 per cent, on their products, when stored, charging fair interest Our information about the round bale is that it deprives the farmer of the profit he now makes on his bag ging and ties. As to the sub-treasury part the farmer who has some cotton is usually able to get money on it if he does not want to sell it Banks all over the South are anxious to lend their money on security, and cotton is as good as they want, provided there ia no prior lien on it Men with un encumbered land or cotton do not have any trouble in getting all the money their values call for. For that matter, men who have established a reputation for meeting their obligations promptly do not have any trouble in borrowing reasonable amounts of money just now. The ban its nave it and are ready to lend it on fair prospects of getting it back 'with the interest The people who really need neip ana who oueht to be helped somehow are the hard-working, well-meaning and honest who have suffered from un avoidable misfortune. They haveoio free cotton or lands to pledge, and no credit, because they have no means. If somebody will invent a way to get them out of the hole it will be well worth consideration. THE LION'S MOUTH BY FREDERICK WARDE. Large and Fashionable Audience Delighted Last Night Mr. Warde and Mrs. Brooe the Favorites. The presentation of "The Lion's Mouth," Henry Guy Carleton's Vene tian Love Story, by Mr. Frederick Warde and his able company at the Wilmington Opera House last night was decidedly the best attraction thus far presented this season. And in fact it is very rarely the case that Wilmington theatre goers are treated to so superbly rendered plays as was the one last night The rapt at tention of the large audience, the fre quent outbursts of enthusiastic ap plause and repeated curtain calls were unmistakable evidences of great ap preciation for the masterful manner in which not only Mr. Warde, but the principals of his support as well inter preted their roles. It is a strong com pany throughout Especial praise is accorded Mrs. Minnie Tillet Brune for her interpretation of the role of Elnora, daughter of the Doge. She certainly proved herself an actress of very great talent and versatility. She has a charming personality and cap tivated the audience last night from her very first appearance upon the stage. - Another of Mr. Warde's support who should have special mention is Charles D. Hermon, as Angelo, Chief Inquisitor, formerly Francisco. He is ideally fitted for this character in both physique and histrionic talent Mr. Warde, in response to persistent curtain calls between the third and fourth acts, expressed his high appre ciation for the cordial reception ac corded himself and company, and ex pressed the hope that he could visit the city next season under as favorable auspices. Prof. Kingsbury's Show. On next Monday night, October 2nd, Mr. Walter R. Kingsbury, Wilming ton's remarkable hypnotist, will give a performance at the Opera House. It is conceded that Prof. Kingsbury is easily the equal of Prof. Lee and a programme of wonderful and mirth provoking feats is assured. An ar rangement has been made so that ladies will be admitted free when ac companied by a 'person with one paid 30 cent ticket. Tickets will be on sale Friday evening at Gerken's. Mr, Thos. Torpy, Jr., Dead. The Star announces with much re gret the death of Mrs. Athalia Alice Torpy, wife of Mr. Thos. Torpy, Jr., which occurred about 12:20 o'clock this morning. The deceased was a daughter of Capt. and Mrs. Robert Green and was 23 years of age. She was a devoted member of St. Thomas' Church. She leaves an, infant about a week old. The bereaved family have the sincere sympathy of many friends in their affliction. Announcement of the time for the funeral will be given later. For the Dewey Celebration. Capt. Ed. Wilson Manning left yes terday afternoon over the Seaboard Air Line for Raleigh, where he will join the Governor's staff, on which he has the position of quartermaster with the rank of Major, upon the trip to attend the Dewey celebration at New York. Capt. Manning's trip will be an especially pleasant one from the fact that he is an acquaintance of the returning Admiral hero, and from the further fact that while in New York he will haye an- opportunity of visit ing his son, Mr. Fletcher Mangum, who is a prominent travelling man from that centre. Married Yesterday. At 1 :30 o'clock yesterday afternoon Mrs. Annie Bond was united in mar riage to Mr. Needham Farrow. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Robt. Strange, D. D., at the residence of the bride's mother, Mrs. Ann E. Leggett on Grace street between Front and Second.

Mr. and Mrs. Farrow left on the 2:30 train for Newbern, where they will reside. . DIED. TORPY In this city, at 12.80 o'clock this morning, Mrs. ATHAU1A ALICE TORPY, Wife of Thos Torpy.

I have sold since that time finer goods than were ever sold here before, and as fine as sold anywhere. I have sold fine goods at cheap goods prices because I had no reason to make allowance for losses in selling to unreliable parties I know where and how to buy, and my business and personal expenses are small. My success has been such that I number my satisfied customers by the score.
