Mulatto or Indian Who Has Established Queer Doctrine In Which His Sub jects Pay Him Tribute. Magistrates very often have queer characters to deal with, but one of the "queerest of the queer" was before Justice McGowan yesterday after noon. He is a bright mulatto or Indian, and proclaims himself "Percy Fadelia Domini, King of the Creoles and God of the Earth." He is tne same negro who some time ago figured in "Brook lyn" under the cognomen "Peace" and secured a large following of ne groes in a queer religious doctrine, of which he was the central figure. He is said to : have been subsequently driven from the city by colored peo ple, and yesterday afternoon Justice McGowan had him arraigned on the charge of forcible trespass upon the lands of Mr. J. H. Boatwright, about seven miles from Wilmington, on the A & Y. railroad. Upon this land he had pitched two tents, where he ro sided with one of his female followers, and refused to vacate when ordered by agents of Mr. Boatwright, upon the ground that the land originally be longed to his Indian people and had never been legitimately acquired by the whites. Here he lived in solitude and each week his followers in the city of which there are a num ber, would go up to the camp and pay tribute to their avowed chief. Many of these men and women were in evi dence at the trial yesterday wearing black turbans as an evidence of their belief and when he was ordered to vacate the lands and pay the costs of the case, one a the members went for ward promptly and settled the amount. They were given two dajs in which to "break camp." Mr. J. P. Flynn, special deputy, went up to the camp yesterday morn ing and made the arrest, placing him in jail until the hour for trial. Mr. Mil as Costin, section master on the A. & Y., went with him to assist in the arrest and the negro is said to have used towards him some of the vilest language and against the entire white race. He left for the camp late in the after noon and it is presumed he will "move." Death of Mrs. James P. Post. The Star regrets to chronicle the death of Mrs. Mary Russell Post, widow of the late Mr. James F. Post, which occurred yesterday at 3 P. M. at the residence of her son, Mr. James F. Post. Jr., 112 North Seventh street The deceased has been in precarious health since early last Summer, and was Beriously ill when her husband pased away on the 15th of last July. She came of a long-lived family and up to the first of last year she bore her ad vanced years remarkably well. Mrs. Post was born at Petersburg, Va., and was aged 76 years and 7 months. She married Mr. Post at Petersburg in 1842, and that union lasted for 57 years up to the death of Mr. Post. She came to Wilmington several years after her marriage and has resided here for a half century. She leaves only two children, Mr. James F. Post, Jr., secretary and treasurer of the Atlantic Coast . Line, and Mr. Thomas R. Post cashier of the Wil mington & Weldon Railroad Com pany, both highly esteemed citizens of this city, i The deceased was an unostentatious woman and was devoted to her home circle. She was much beloved by a circle of close friends, and the d-voted sons, who have sustained a double be reavement in the death of their father and mother within six months, have the sympathy of their numerous friends. The funeral will take place at 3.30 o'clock this afternoon at the residence of Mr. James F. Post Jr. The inter ment will be made in Oakdale ceme- Marriage Next Wednesday. Mr. and iMrs. Guilford Home, No. 312 Red Cross street, have mailed to friends invitations announcing the marriage of their daughter, Miss Janie, to Mr. James Allen Oldham, a popular young man formerly of Wilmington, but now of Charleston, S. C, where he has a responsible position with the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Company. The ceremony will be performed on Wednesday afternoon, January 31st, at 2.30 o'clock in Grace M. E.

HE WAS BADLY INTOXICATED. Lost His Balance While Seated on Curb Eating Lnnch Given Him by White Lady on Red Cross Street-The Coroner Viewed Body. Spencer Stanford, an old negro wood sawyer aged about 60 years and who has spent much of his old age in the station house where he was confined for drunkenness, fell into 'a well at the rear of the residence of Miss Lou Smith, at corner of Second and Red Cross streets last night about 7.30 o'clock and drowned. The pld negro had finished sawing some wood for Miss Smith in the afternoon and at night he returned badly intoxicated and asked Miss Smith for' something to eat, which she wrapped in a paper at the same time telling him to sit down in the back yard and eat it. He went to the well and sat on the edge of the stone curbing, which is round and which extends about two feet above the ground. Miss Smith, after handing the lunch to the old negro through the kitchen windo w.resumed her household duties, when a few minutes later she and an old colored woman living at the rear of the residence were surprised to hear Stanford falling into the well, which is about thirty-five feet deep and curbed in a circular form from the bottom. The old negro woman notified some one, who telephoned the occurrence to the City Hall and to Dr. Price, the coroner. The body was taken from the well by the Hook and Ladder boys, and after viewing the same Dr. Price or dered it placed in the morgue at the City Hall for burial to-day. There were no bruises on the body and from the position ia which Ladderman Jake Wannamaker ; found him when he went down in the well and attached a rope to the negro's body, it is sup posed he fell headlong and drowned before he could make an outcry. The water is about five feet deep in the well and the distance to the sur face of the ground from the water line is about thirty feet Stanford was a harmless old negro and his only fault was in drinking too heavily. He weighed over two hundred pounds and was one of the old type of negroes. He has no rela tives here. The Kltsg of North Carolina. It has long been known that North Carolina has a King and in time of yore his autograph frequently deco rated the pages of The Orton register, but for nine months he has not paid a visit to his possessions round about Wilmington. He has been in bad health, much to the regret of his Wil mington subjects, but yesterday they were exceedingly glad to again see the monarch at The Orton. He mod estly registered as Jeff D. King and by those entitles he is sometimes known. He has never bothered his head about ruling his dominions, but once upon a time he sold tobacco by the car load, whereas now he comes out to represent Messrs. Block & Gunn, of Richmond, Va., agents for the disin fecting appliances of the West Disin fecting CompSny. ' Mr. King, well known for his mar vellous genius in numerous respects, now comes to the front as author, having recently published an abridged encyclopaedia called "The King's Eng lish," containing 10,000 words of diffi cult or doubtful pronunciation and giving the correct pronunciation. One of these he presents to The Star, and indeed it will be found exceedingly valuable and useful. The author has long borne the distinction of being the only performer in the world on the kaz ouzle-ouzle, made from the wing of the caraway bird, and he is now at work in putting the finishing touches on a unique instrument which he has made of 'possum bones and which he will call the whang wherr, from the dulcet sounds it emits when properly mouthed by an expert Religions Paper for Wilmington. Beginning about the first of Febu ary, the Rev. J. J. Payseur, pastor of Brooklyn Baptist Church of this city, will commence the publication of a paper called The Helper. It will be a small four-page paper and will be is sued monthly. The Rev. Mr. Payseur will be the editor of The Helper, and he informs the Star that "this little paper will be run in a special way for the benefit of the thr. e Baptist Churches of the city, and in a general way to help any Christian work of the city. In addi tion to the editorial work of Mr. Pay seur," arrangements have been made to have one page conducted by the Rev. Dr. Calvin 8. Blackwell, pastor of the First Baptist Church, and one by the Rev. R. H. Herring, pastor of South Side Baptist Church. The subscription price of The Helper will be 25 cents per annum, or 15 cents for six months. Several columns wiil be devoted to advertising matter. The first edition will be one thousand copies. j . Mr. Payseur formerly published The Helper at Concord, N. C, where he was pastor of the Baptist Church pre vious to his coming to Wilmington. He has, therefore, had experience in journalistic harness and judging from a copy of the Concord edition which has been sent to the Star the little paper will have merit to commend it to a generous support : ! . : 24, 1900.

In Jail Awaiting Trial Special Star Correspondence, j Nashville, N. C, Jan., 22, 1900.- There is a man in jail here awaiting: trial for getting money under false pretences. It is thought that he is the same man who travelled through Pender county some time ago, as he is engaged in the same 'business. He says that his name is W. H.

In the Weekly Star of Jan. 19th some of our citizens saw the letter written by the special correspon dent of the Star, under the head of "Fakir Worked Pender Well' and they believe . that the . man who passed off as. Thomas in Pender is the same man who has been working Nash county. His trial will come up at Nashyille, N.. C, on the 26th day of January,1900r and we will be glad to have you notify the corres pondent at Point Caswell that we want a man sent here to the trial who knows Thomas well and has been swindled by him, so that we may join hands with the good people of Pender in this prosecution of this man and his associates who we are confident are now working other sections of the State, j I regard your paper as a great ad vertiser, as but for the letter in The Star of the 19th our people would have been too late, as the people of Pender were.
