Guy had a ter rible encounter with a drunken and unruly negro about 2 o'clock yester day afternoon, whom he arrested at Thirteenth and Market streets for pro miscuously filing a ' pistol along the highway, cursing and swearing in a loud and boisterous voice and render ing himself generally obnoxious to the community through which he passed. As a result of his struggle with the ruffian, Officer Guy sus tained an ugly gash under the left cheek dangerously near the jugular vein and a slight cut on the left leg just above the knee joint. Acting under orders of Lieutenant Skipper, Policeman Guy left his beat on Market street and went to Tenth and Mulberry streets, in a disreputable locality known as "Bull Neck," where a telephone message reported that a negro row was in progress. He ar rived on the scene in time to find that a negro woman, Emiline Brown, had been shot in the thigh and painfully but not seriously wounded by. the promiscuous firing of a negro named Jim Morgan, alias "Stick," and that he with two pals had gone up the Seacoast railroad toward Market street. Officer Guy, who was on his bicycle, immediately set out in pursuit and by their general disorder easily traced them up Market to Thir teenth street where he overhauled them coming out of a salooa. He placed Morgan under arrest and se cured his rigfit hand with his nippers. He made a hasty search of the negro's person for weapons but finding noth ing, ne started to tne station nouse with his prisoner. The negro was dis posed to resist all along, but on reach ins Tenth street, with 'his left hand he secured from his pocket a knife with a sharp two and one half inch blade and began to slash at Officer Guy right and left. The policeman was forced by his fierce attaok to re linquish his hold and set upon the negro with his club, which he did, finally beating him over the head into insensibility, but not before receiving the severe wounds already mentioned. Officer Guy had his vest and coat near the heart slashed to the under clothing and a large puff tie which he wore was cut almost entirely in twain. His coat sleeves were also gashed in several places and upon the whole it was a narrow escape. The officer's, pluck wai fully tested and it is proved conclusively that Officer Guy is made of the "right stuff." Immediately after Morgan's arrest, the second of the group of disorderly negroes. La wis Clinton, who had fol lowed the officer with his prisoner, came up fron behind and made some threatening remark, whereupon Mr. W. F. Brittain, driver of the Wilming ton Steam Laundry's delivery wagon, came to Mr. Guy's assistance, placed him under arrest and the prisoners were loaded into a city cart and brought to the station house, where they are now incarcerated awaiting a hearing before the Mayor. The third of the group, who is known to the police, was not arrested. Morgan was beat about the head very severely by Officer Guy, but Dr. Richard J. Price, who made an ex amination of the wounds after the negro was placed in the guard house, said that he did not think they were serious. Officer Guy would have used his pistol but the hammer in with drawing the weapon from his pocket, stuck through the cloth and he did not have time to loose it. Dr. Price also dressed the officer's injuries which, while they will inca pacitate him for duty for several days, will not confine him to his room. The negro woman who was shot in the negro fracas, was sent to the City Hospital, but after her wounds were dressed she was sent to her home. The experience of Policeman Guy in this instance greatly emphasizes the need by the police department oc a patrol wagon and it is hoped the proper authorities will take hold of the matter and act at once. It was merely the courage and bravery of the officer that saved his life. Tried for Larceny. John Kelly, colored, was tried in Justice Price's court yesterday morn ing for the larceny of a bicycle from Mary Williams, also colored. Kelly boarded at the house of the Williams woman, and upon the occasion of a re cent excursion to Charlotte, when all members of the family, were absent, the house was broken into and the wheel stolen. Upon the return of the family, Kelly was "saddled" with the offence, though it was shown that he exercised the greatest efforts to recover the machine, when he returned to the house after his day's work and discov ered the burglary. The case was promptly dismissed at the county's cost. Postponed Extension of ball. . It was decided at a congregational meeting of the First Presbyterian Church Sunday, to postpone indefi nitelv the calllne of a pastor to succeed Rev. Dr. Peyton H. Hoge, whose resignation to accept the pas torate of Warren Memorial Church, of Louisville, Ky., went into effect some time ago. Rev. Hay Watson Smith, the eloquent young Presbyterian min ister of Greensboro, will continue to supply the pulpit of the First church, until permanent arrangements are made. Sunday's meeting of the con gregation was held pursuant to a con ference of the church members more than a month ago. FIFTY YEARS OFi A SUCCESSFUL MINISTRY. Rev. Dr. 0. D. Bernheim, Pastor of St. Matthew's English Lutheran Chnrcb, to Retire Prom-Active Ministry. Rev. G. D. Bernheim, D. D., for eight years past the beloved pastor of St. Matthew's Eaglish Lutheran Church of this city and a prominent and eloquent divine of his church in North Carolina, at a meeting of his church council held Sunday last, ten dered his resignation as pastor of St. Matthews' the same to be acted upon by the congregation on the first Sun day in November. Dr. Bernhiem in his letter of resig nation assigns as his reason for thus retiring from the active ministry, the infirmities of age, he having for fifty successive years been engaged in pastoral duties in Wilmington, Char lotte, Mount Pleasant, N. C, Char leston, S. C, and Philipsburg, New Jersey: Dr. Bernheim further stated that for the reasons given in his letter he could not promise to continue longer than the close of his pastoral year, April 30th, 1900, at which time the resignation goes into effect. The period elapsing between now and that time will allow the congregation ample time to make arrangements for and to elect Rev. Dr. Bernheim's suc cessor. It will be with genuine regret that the retiring pastor's friends in Wil mington and in the State will learn that he is compelled by reason of his declining years to give up an active work, which has been so signally suc cessful for such a long number of years. Dr. Bernheim came to Wilmington in January, 1870, and was up to the Fall of 1883 pastor of St. Paul's Evan gelical Lutheran church. After a twelve" years' successful ministry in this field he resigned to accept the presidency of the North Carolina Col lege at Mt. Pleasant, N. C, the leading denominational institution of the Lutheran church in, the State. He continued there only one scholastic year and the intervening nine years of his life to the time he returned to Wilmington, May 1st, 1892, Dr. Bernheim was pastor of Grace Lutheran Church, of Philips burg, New Jersey. Since that time and until the present he has been pas tor of St. Matthew's English Lutheran Church, this city. The earlier days of his ministry were spent in pastoral duties in Charlotte and Charleston, as before stated. Dr. Bernheim, his many friends will learn with regret, is thinking, upon the expiration of his pastoral year, of returning to New Jersey, where he has a comfortable home and happy envi ronments. This point, however, he has not as yet fully decided. His congregation, during the Win ter as in Summer, in kind considera tion of his feeble health, have relieved him of the night services. Government Dredge Ajax. The government dredge Ajax, which has been at work dredging Wilming ton shoal, opposite the Champion Com press, for the past two weeks, finished up its work there yesterday morning and will resume operations in Town Creek. In order to enable boats to pass up this stream without going around Big Island, the North and South cuts will be cut out to a navigable depth. The work on the Wilmington shoals consisted of deepening and widening the channel to such an extent that the big cotton steamers will in the future be able to turn round without danger of being "stuck" at low water and hav ing to wait for high tide. The im provements made are valuable to the port in no little degree. Womens' Anxllary to Reorganize. The Womens' Auxilary to the Toung Men's Christian Association, which formerly rendered valuable assistance in the work, will reorganize after having been disbanded for two years. A meeting of ladies for that purpose will be held at the T. M. C. A. rooms to-morrow at 11 AM. It is hoped that all the former members, some forty or fifty, will be present, and that all other ladies who are interested will attend. At the meeting on to-morrow the ladies will make arrangements to take charge of the banquet to be given Thursday night by the Association to its members the new ones and the old ones. The association now has about 350 members. TheMaxton Herald. Mr. C. A. Brown, a newspaper man with thirty years experience, has bought the Scottish Chief and changed the name to the Maxton Herald. His first issue, although gotten out under difficulties, gives evidence of the fact that Mr. Brown will publish a paper that will be a credit to the thriving town of Maxton, His advertising columns should be liberally patron ized by the business men of the town. Among the needs of Maxton a first class newspaper stands at the head of the list. Theatrical. Wilmington is soon to be favored with two leading attractions which are now en tour. Lewis Morrison appears next Saturday in his new play "Fred erick the Great," and "The Great Star Triumvirate," Louis James, Kathryn Kidder and Chas. Hanford, will be here on Saturday, November 4th.

BURGLARS ARE ON THEIR ROUNDS. Mr. C. D. (lore's Store Entered and His Cash Register Carried Away and . Robbed Residence Raided. Mr. C. D. Gore's store, 911 Orange street, near the Wilmington Seacoast Railroad, was entered Sunday before day. Mr. Gore securely fastened the doors and windows when he closed up Saturday night and when he returned to the store at 11 o'clock Sunday to look after some rat-traps which he had set, he discovered that one of the rear windows was open. An investigation showed that the hinges of the shutters had been taken off with a screw-driver and the shutters removed, giving easy ingress to the stofe, as the sash had been left up. He missed no merchan dise, but the cash register which was kept on top of an iron safe was gone. The spring in the back of the register which throws the drawer out had been removed and was left on the safe. Mr. Gore instituted search for the register, and while looking for it he met Josh Williams, colored, who informed him that he had seen something of the des cription broken up alongside the Wil mington Seacoast Railroad about a mile below the depot. Mr. Gore went to the place indicated and found that the register had been totally destroyed. It contained $8 or $10 in nickles and pen nies, and, of course, the money was taken. The register cost $43. 50. Mr. Gore 'thinks the store was entered about 1 o'clock Sunday morning and that the deed was done by two men. There is no clue as to the robber. When Mr. W. M. Hankins, who resides on Ann street, between Third and Fourth streets, arose yesterday morning, he missed his pants from a chair, on which he had left them upon retiring Sunday night. The pants were found at another place, and it was discovered that a purse contain ing several dollars had been taken from the pockets. Upon going down stairs it was found that the burglar had made a raid on the pantry and re lieved it of a quantity of preserves and cake. An investigation showed that the thief had gained entrance through a back door, which had been left un locked, and that he got into the hall through another door, which had not been locked. Yesterday morning two doylies and some cake which the burg lar had dropped were found in the yard. Mr. Hankins does not know who robbed him, but a neighbor in formed him that he was awakened by a noise and that his son, upon going to the window, got a glimpse of some one jumping the fence. The young man could not see whether the' form was that of a man or a woman. Funeral Service Yesterday. From the late residence on Market street, between Fifteenth and Six teenth, yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, Rev. Dr. Calvin S. Black- well impressively conducted the funeral services of the late Mrs. Mar garet Jones, beloved wife of Mr. Josiah H. Jones, an announcement of whose death was made in Sun day's Star.

Craig, secretary of the Cape Fear Pilot's Association, left on the Newborn train yesterday afternoon for Beaufort, - whence he will go on a sharpie to Brown's Inlet on the North Carolina coast near which place the derelict schooner Carrie A. Lane is anchored in charge of a party of fishermen. He was accompanied on the return by Capt. Albert Bloodgood, one of the . party of fishermen, who claims to have boarded the abandoned schooner first, and who came over to consult Mr. W. N. Harriss as to the best methods of proving his priority of claim over that of another party of fishermen, who also maintain that they have first right. Capt. Bloodgood says the schooner is in good condition; She is largely owned by Arthur Sawall, late candi date for the vicepresidency, and the salvage, which will accrue to the fish ermen is estimated at $25,000. The masts are all gone and a great part of the cabin is burned, having been set on fire by the captain when he was taken off by the steamer Rhodesia. The Blanche, Capt. L. G. Pepper, late yesterday afternoon, according to a private telegram, towed the derelict temporarily into Lookout bight whence she will probably be towed into Southport and sold here at auc tion.
