The lot em braces dry goods, notions, fancy ar ticles, naval stores, groceries; in fact, nearly everything but a bale of cotton. The goods are being stored in a large room in the Temple, and to look in on the aggregation one would think a new store is to be started. Yesterday the following donations were reported : Through C.

Yesterday the Engineer's corps received another tele gram that the launch had departed from Norfolk at 10.30 o'clock Sunday morning. She will come up imme diately to this port, probably to day. Keeping His Eye Skinned. Capt Robert Green, chief quaran tine officer, is keeping his eye skinned to prevent people from the yellow fever infected points from coming into Wilmington. His vigilance could not have been better shown than by an incident that occur red yesterday. A travelling man who had been in New Orleans was turned away from Charles ton and it was supposed he would come to Wilmington. He got here yesterday and after considerable diffi culty Capt 'Green traced him up. He was carried before Dr. W. D. McMillan, superintendent of health, to whom the gentleman made a frank statement He showed a good bill of health and as he had been out of the infested district for fifteen days he was permitted to remain.

Police Sergeant J. R. Davis left yes terday afternoon for Newbern, where he went to bring back to Wilmington a white tramp who is wanted here for some charge known to the police, but who for secret service reasons deem it inexpedient to disclose 'the nature of the offence. Sergeant Davis will re turn with his prisoner to day, and he will be held awaiting developments. The tramp was arrested Saturday by the police officers in Newbern, STATE TREASURER'S RULING Sheriff MscRae Has Received An Elucida tion of Schedule B Tax Regulation. Sections 21 and 23, Since Schedule B tax became due October 1st, there has been much con fusion among merchants and those liable to the tax as to the proper con struction to place upon the act regu lating same. Some claim that when the capital tax is paid they are ab solved from the tobacco and cigar tax and vice versa. To settle the matter, Mr. Owen Fennell, Sheriff MacRae's deputy clefk, addressed a letter to the State Treasurer and yesterday the following reply was received : Ralkigh, N. C, Oct. 20, 1899. Walter G. MacRae, Sheriff, Wil mington, N. C: Dkab Sib: Yours of the 18th is to hand and noted. You ask "If B is engaged in the grocery business as a dealer; also in tobacco, cigars, etc., does he pay tax on tobacco, cigars, etc , under Section 21 and also on his capi tal under Section 23." In reply, I will say that he should pay all the taxes levied under Section 21 on tobacco, cigars, etc., and also should pay under section 23 the tax on his capital em ployed less the amount of capital used in conducting the business taxed un der Section 21. The portion of capital employed, under Section 21 is not liable to tax under Section 23. Your ruling has been strictly in accordance with the ruling of this office and is ap proved by the same. Yours, very truly, W. H. WOETH, State Treasurer. It would appear, therefore, from the above, that a dealer in merchandise, including tobacco, cigars, etc., is liable under both Sections, No. 21 and No. 23 of the Revenue Act TWO STRANGERS IN TROUBLE. Young White Woman and Man Arrested On Warrant Prom Justice Fowler. Upon a warrant sworn out by a down town Dock street boarding house keeper yesterday morning, two of the boarders, a middle aged white man and young white woman, were arrested and arraigned before Justice Fowler on a charge the nature of which will be disclosed at the trial before the Court this morning. The parties arrested came here from the Western part of the State, at or near Asheville, N. C, about two months since and were engaged in selling by sample a variety of earthen pottery. It appears from what can be learned from the prosecutor that they are in arrears for board to the amount of nearly $40, and the war rant was procured as a measure of retaliation for the non-payment of same and as a rebuke for the unbecom ing conduct at the house of the prose cutor. Repeated promises bad been made that when a part of the goods sold were delivered, payment of the bill would be made, but it is claimed this was not done. Justice Fowler postponed a hearing of the case until this morning at 9:30 o'clock and committed both defend ants to jail. The women was later recognized for her appearance and set at liberty. ' Violent Assault by a Negro. Mr. Charley Davis, a young man about 20 years of age and a son of the late C. W. Davis, was quite severely injured Sunday afternoon, near cor ner of Fifth and Castle streets, by be ing struck with a stone, weighing probably eight ounces, and thrown by a negro named Bennet Churchill Moore, who bears rather a bad repu tation in the community in which he lives. Mr. Davis received a severe scalp wound, and the stone was thrown with such violence that on Sunday night from the effects of the concussion he was delirious for sev eral hours. Immediately after the assault, the young man was taken into Green's drug store, corner Fifth and Castle streets, where the wound was dressed by Dr. Burbanks. .He was later sent to the home of his mother, No. 416 Red Cross street The affair was promptly reported to headquarters and Hall Officer Woebse immediately arrested the negro, who was found at his home on Fourth, between Nun and Church streets.

The best $1.00 Kid Gloves for ladies or gents are sold by The C. W. Polvogt Co, t THE OLYMPIA OPERA COMPANY. This Attraction Began a Week's Engage meat at Opera House Last Night. The Bill for To-night. The Olympia Opera Company, of New York, began a week's engage ment at the Wilmington .Opera House last evening. They were greeted by a large audience and the bill presented was the bright comic opera "Boccac cio." The performance was highly satis factory to the audience, and their apppreciation was manifested by the most demonstrative applause and fre quent encores. The singing was ex cellent, and there are not only some superior singers in the cast, but they are supported by a good chorus of pretty girls. - Miss Fanny Myers, the soprono pri madonna, in her role as Boccaccio, won her way at once into the favor of the audience, and her singing and act ing were very pleasiog. Miss Eleanor Jenkins, as Fiamatta, who also has an excellent soprano voice, won very great appreciation. The tenor sing ing of Mr. Ed. Weston, as "Fratelli," was also one of the taking features. The whole performance came up to the highest expectations, and nodoubt a large audience will be out to-night to see the company in its presentation of the funny opera " Girofle-Girofla.' - Messages from the Spirit Land. - There arrived in Wilmington on Sunday Dr. Louis Schleisinger, of San Francisco, Cal., who1 is said to be the oldest spiritualist medium in America. Dr. Schleisinger is a guest of The Orton and a Star reporter called on him yesterday with a number of gen tlemen. He is 70 years of age and a flowing white beard gives him a strikingly patriarchal appearance, while his manner is gentle and wholly unostentatious. He appears to be a sin cere, earnest-man, and profoundly im presses all who come incjontact with him. Dr. Schleisinger kindly gave two newspaper men and another gen tleman an exhibition of his mar vellous powers. Seated around an ordinary table with hands joined he asked, if any one was pres ent from the spirit world. No one was touching the table but distinct raps on the table were heard in re sponse to his question. Each of the gentlemen then wrote on a slip of pa per their own names and the names of several others, including one or more departed relatives or friends. With out the Dr's. seeing any of the names written, and not knowing the names of any of the three gentlemen, the slips were folded and placed in a hat. When they were drawn from the hat one at a time, there would be rapping on the table when the name of a dead peason was drawn. Before the slip on which . the name was written was opened, Dr. Schleisinger by listening to the raps would call out the name on the slip and would address by name the person who drew it, delivering a mes sage from the one in the spirit land. It was a startling manifestation which was past the comprehension of all present. Dr. Schleisinger gives these ex hibitions to show his powers, but his principal business here is to cure diseases by means of spiritual influences,;all his aid, he states, being derived from that source. He claims to cure at one sitting the to bacco habit, alcoholism, the opium and morphine habits and other diseases which are curable. Mayor's Court. Jim Morgan, the negro who shot the colored woman Emiline Brown, at corner Tenth and Mulberry streets a week ago and followed up his evil do ing by slashing Policeman Guy with a knife, who afterwards arrested him on Market street, was held for the Crimi nal Court by the Mayor yesterday in an additional sum of $200 bond justi fied, for the assault upon the woman referred to. He was held several days ago in a like amount for the assault upon the policeman. The case against him yesterday was postponed from last week as the woman, on account of her injuries, was unable to attend trial. He was sent over to the county jail from the city prison and will be tried at the next term of New Hanover Cir cuit Criminal Court Other cases tried yesterday were: Mike Bryant, white, throwing stones ; discharged upon payment of costs.

Vollers on Sixth street between Dock and Orange streets.
