The office of Justice J. M. McGowan. in the old Court House, was entered by robbers some time during his recent illness and about $70 stolen from a desk, which was found open by him . 3 . . . jraicruaj morning wnen ne came down to resume his duties after several days' sickness. The money, Justice McGowan says, would have been deposited in the bank as usual, but on Monday he was taken so suddenly ill that he was forced to go to his home as quickly as possible, and had been too unwell to attend to the matter since. Besides this, he was confident the money was safe, as there were two locked doors to the office and the desk was looked also. The keys were entrusted to Joe Gray, who usually keepa the office in order. It is the presumption that an entrance was effected through a back window. The desk was pried open apparently with a chisel and several receptacles with their contents taken. The money did not all belong to Justice McGowan and that makes the loss fall all the more heavily upon him. He is treasurer of Wilmington Lodge I. O. O. F., and $13.45 of the amount be longed to that fraternity; $14 was in accounts which he had collected for otherpersons; $3 or $10 was in magis trate's costs and $26 or $27 belonged to him personally and to the Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada. J ustice McGowan said that he was too unwell to come out yesterday, but that he had a presentiment that something was wrong at the office and he felt it his duty to come down. VIOLENT TYPE OF INSANITY. Negro Created Much Excitement On Front Street Sunday Night by His Wild Ravings. Policeman B. M. Lehew had a strange character to deal with Sunday night about 9 o'clock. Tom Means, a young negro who was employed in the cotton office of Mr. J. EL Sloan, be came suddenly a raving maniac in front of The Orton House and his loud cries and wild gesticulations created considerable excitement among those in the hotel lobby and residents in the neighborhood. Means inquired for Mr. Sloan of some persons standing in front of The Orton about 9 o'clock, and passed into the portico. He suddenly began stepping backward toward the street' uttering unintelligible shouts and waving his hands in the air. Policeman Lehew took him into custody and not until just before reaching the City Hall did he cease his raving. At the station house a pistol was taken from his person and a number of other articles. He was placed in the corridor of the prison. but soon he had to be transferred to a cell as he had resumed his ravings and threatened to do himself injury by beating his arms against the grating. He did not become quieted until Dr. Price had administered a drug to quiet the nerves. He is still confined in the city prison and appears to be dement ed only at certain periods. Mr. Sloan says Means is a very in telligent and orderly negro. He never drinks and is attentive to business. He will be sent to his home in the up- country until he recovers.

Held Sunday Evening in Memory of De parted Odd Fellows Interesting Ser mon by Rev. E. R. Welch. The Odd Fellows' Memorial exercises at Grace Methodist Church Sunday night in memory of Past Grands C. B. Allen. F. L. Covington and R. M. Gil bert, all of Orion Lodge No. 67, were very interesting and largely attended by the many Odd Fellows of the city and their friends. Members of the fraternity occupied the central portion of the church and the gallery and lecture room of the church, which were thrown open the main auditorium, were literally thronged with friends of the order. The members of the different lodges met at Odd Fellows Hall at 7. 30 o'clock in response to the call of Mr. W. W. Yopp, (chairman) and W. H. Howell, (secretary) of the joint committee of arrangements, and 8 o'clock they were marshalled into line, by Mr.Wm. L. L. Smith, acting chief marshal in place of CoL Walker Taylor; Mr. W. C. Smith, in place of Capt. J. M. Mc Gowan, who was absent on account of sickness; Messrs. J. A. Orrell, E. F. Johnson and J. J. Hopkins. On behalf of the Church, Pey. A. P. Tyre welcomed the Odd Fellows in a pleasing address which was responded to by Rev. E. R.f Welch, of Durham, who preached an impressive sermon of especial interest to Odd Fellows. Before entering upon his discourse, Rev. Mr. Welch read an official com munication from officers of the Grand Lodge, directing the service to be held. He chose as the text for his sermon Luke 10, 30 37, which refers to the benevolent act of the Good Samaritan, so familiar to Bible readers. He re ferred in this connection to the great charitable work being done by the Odd Fellows and the great and substantial principles upon which the order is founded. The sermon upon the whole was fall of Bible truth and especially felicitous for Odd Fellowship in Amer ica. The musical programme was ar ranged especially for the occasion and was very pretty and appropriate. A solo. "The Holy City," by Miss Annie Slagle, with instrumental accompani ment by Mrs. Mattie Chasten, was much enjoyed. The service will long be remembered by the Odd Fellows of the city as one of the most pleasant lodge events in their lives. DEATH OP A FORMER CITIZEN. Captain William Smith Died In Greensboro Yestesday To be Burled Here. A telegram was received in this city by Mr. T. O. Bunting yesterday con veying the painful intelligence of the death of Captain William Smith, of Raleigh, formerly a citizen of Wil mington. He died yesterday mornine at 8 o'clock at the home of his son-in-law, Mr Cameron Gale3. at Greens boro. He was aged about 65 years.

The interment will be made at Oak dale cemetery. Uapt. Smith was the son of the late Capt Isaac and Mrs. Louisa A. Smith, of Smithville, now Southport, and was born in that place. He was reared in Smithville and Wilmington and re ceived his education at Donaldson Academy, Fayetteville, of which the Rev. Simeon Colton, an eminent divine and teacher in his day, was principal. His father, Capt. Isaac Smith, is well remembered by the older citizens of Wilmington, as an old steamboat man, having been captain of the steamer Gladiator which was on the line between Wilmington and Charleston before the war. After completing his education at Donaldson Academy, Captain Smith, whose death is now recorded, became a civil engineer and located in Wil mington. He was elected master of transportation of the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad, which position he filled from about 1861 to 1872, when he went with the Wilmington So Man chester Railroad, afterwards the Wil mington, Columbia & Augusta Rail road. He superintended the building of that road between Sumter and Co lumbia in 1875. He then became con nected) with the Wilmington, Char lotte & Rutherford Railroad, now the Carolina Central, and superintended the construction of that road from Lilesville to Monroe. Subsequent ly he became general superin tendent of the Raleigh and Gaston railroad and afterwards also general superintendent of the Raleigh and Augusta Air Line. His service with the two latter roads began in 1880 or 1881 and he was in their service up to about three years ago when he was made general agent of the Seaboard Air Line with headquarters at . Ral eigh. The latter position he filled up to the time of his death. The deceased left Wilmington about 1880 to go to Raleigh, which city he has since made his home. He was twice married, his first wife being Miss Abbie Smith, of this city, who died in 1867. They have one child surviving, Mrs. Abbie Gales, wife of. Mr. Cameron Gales, of Greensboro. In 1868 he married Miss Josephine Macon,' at Richmond, Va., and she survives him with three children, Mrs. Josephine Thomas, of Waynes ville, N. C, Mrs. F. K. Myers, of Charleston, S. C, and Mr. William Smith, Jr., who is now a resident of New York. He leaves three sisters, Mrs. T. O: Bunting, of this city, Mrs. Julia Estlin, of New Orleans, and Mrs. Julian Johnson, of Atlanta. THE REAL WIDOW BROWN. She Pleased Those Who Met Her Last Night and Will be Welcomed Here Again Coming Attractions. The weather last night was not very auspicious for a successful presenta tion of any attraction, but Wilming ton Opera House patrons on this occa sion were the recipients of a "red- hot" fun producer in the appearance of the "real Widow Brown." The house was necessarily a small one, but those present went away pleased that they had met the "lady" and her excellent company of performers. The specialties introduced during the action of the play were all bright, mirth-provoking and very clever. Charles Barrington's imitations -were good and equally so was the mono logue work of Miss Went worth. The Sisters Dorothy also elicited much ap plause. Altogether the show was a very entertaining one and it is regret table that weather conditions were unfavorable to a larger attendance. To-morrow evening will see "Dark est Russia" in this city, with its many strongly drawn characters and scenes of well sustained interest. The sue cess that has been accorded this play from end to end of the land would seem to be sufficient guarantee to tnose who have never seen it it is a drama, with its scenes laid in Russia. Its plot is one that never falters in in terest, from the moment in the first act, when the daring Polish girl re fuses to obey the mandate of the Rus sian noble and play the national air of the hated Czar, destroying her beloved violin rather than yield to the de mand, up to the final fall of the cur tain, when love and the right triumph. It is a play that has earned for itself a warm spot in the good graces of the habitual theatre-goer, as is evidenced by the fact that it has outlived all plays of its own particular kind. We are promised an excellent acting com pany and a complete scenic produc tion of this very successful drama. Sale of seats begins this morning at Gerken's. ST.
