Chairman Johnson and the Demo crats of Wilmigton are preparing to give Hon. F. M. Simmons and Elector W. C Dowd, a rousing reception upon the occasion of their speaking here on Thursday night in the Court House. A committee will meet them at the train and the Second Regiment Band will furnish music for the even ing. Air. uimmons speaxs at w uson on Tuesday night and at Jackson, In Northampton county, on Wednesday. He will likely reach the city on the morning train Thursday or may not get here until Thursday evening. Mr. Dowd will likely reach here on the 13:05 o'clock train from Charlotte. Mr. Simmons will speak at Lumber- berton Saturday. Hon. John D. Bellamy concluded another vigorous week's campaigning n the uppper counties of his dirtnst with a speech to the people at Wades- boro yesterday. Mr. Bellamy will re main over in Wadesboro to-day as the guest of R. E. Little, Esq., one of the most prominent Democrats of Anson. The announcement that Pritchard will speak here to-morrow has caused some interest in political cir cles. People are wondering if he will confine himself to national issues or take a hand in State politics. He will doubtless be heard by a good crowd ncludlng Democrats and Federal Court attendants. Mr. Pritchard after speaking here has an appointment to speak in Raleigh. The registration for the national election closed yesterday. The very heavy registration for the August elec tion made the week rather tame with the registrars, but the books had to be opened according to law. There were very few names added to the lists, but quite a number of transfers to other wards or townships were given. The books will be open next Saturday for challenges. Only those who haye or will have become qualified to vote since yesterday can register on election day. The pollholders for the Senatorial rimary. which will be held simulta neously with the general election, will likely be announced this. week, in order to give entire satisfaction to the friends of both candidates the matter has been deferred untiLnow. There has been no necessity for an appoint ment earlier and by deferring the mat ter more judicious appointments, can made. -; - " - . " ; :"" v r.

The United State District and Cir cuit Courts will be convened here by Judge Thomas. B. Purnell to morrow at. noon and will continue for one week. ."" The term was originally a two week's one, but asUudge -Purnell has agvin been designated as a member of the Circuit Court of Appeals, which meets in Richmond, Nov. 6 th, he has decided to hear as many cases as pos sible during the coming week ' and if the docket is not completed, to ad journ until some time in January, when the remainder of the work of the term can . be wound up. xnere was some delay in open ing the last term of the court and for this reason . there is -not such a large accumulation of cases as would ordin arily be on the docket: Deputy Clerk Shaw says there are only about thirty odd cases to go before the grand jury and in this event there will probably be no trouble in finishing up the. work. Many of the witnesses, jurors and defendants lot the court will come in to-day and still others are expected to morrow. There are no admiralty cases on the docket and the criminal cases will be taken up at once. The most interest : ing of these .will be the case of J. L. York, of Greensboro, N. C, who was arrested at Fayetteville charged with fraudulent use of the mails. His at torneys are perfectly satisfied that there will be no trouble in establish ing his innocence of the charge pre ferred and Mr. York himself does not believe that the grand jury will return a true bill against him.

Martindale, of Mason- boro Sound, while riding horseback over his farm yesterday morning, sus tained very seiious injuries by his horse falling in a ditch and rolling over on him. The horse was fright ened by breaking in a bridge over a ditch near by and before he could be gotten under control he stumbled Into the other ditch. Mr. Martindale hurried home as quickly as possible and Dr. E. S. Pigford was summoned. After ex amination he found a dislocated shoulder and a fracture of the left shoulder blade. Dr. Pigford saw no signs of internal injuries. Mr. Mar tindale is 63 years old and his injuries will go very hard with him. It is feared he will be laid up for some time. ' Decorated With 'Simmons Branches. An ardent admirer in Wilmington of the Hon. F. M. Simmons yesterday decorated both show windows of his store on Market between Water and Front streets with branches of a 'sim- mon tree sent him by a friend in Brunswick county. As the famous North Carolina persimmon, as "it grows upon de vine, " has been adopted by Mr. Simmons' friends as the official badge for his senatorial campaign, the aforesaid supporter was soon besieged by pedestrians along that way, who were anxious to provide themselves ith the official badge of the State chairman. Many of the half ripe per simmons on the branches for decora tion were soon clipped and borne off upon the lapels of coats worn by other 'ardent admirers," who cheerfully re marked that the fruit would be full ripe by Tuesday week. The Stab office is indebted to the "badge head quarters" for a supply left yesterday afternoon. Mr. Fremont's Foaeral. The remains of the late Frank M. Fremont, whose death at his home in New York city -was noted in yester day's Stab, will arrive in Wilmington at 6 o'clock this evening and will be taken to SL John's church, from whence the funeral will be held at 11 o'clock to-morrow morning.
