The "Spider and Fly" Company ap peared at the Opera House last night before a very large audience, composed chiefly of men. The attraction was generally heralded as a beauty show, but so far. as many things were con cerned the show missed the point fear fully. Scarcely one of the actresses, or rather chorus girls, could be called pretty, but then what was lost there was fairly well made up by the pretty scenic effects and costumes. Some of the singing was good and a few of the dances seemed to please. The clown and acrobatic features of the show re ceived much applause and these features well deserved it, as the work in that part was decidedly clever and entertaining. On the whole, the per formance was not as good as the public expected. The Police court. In the municipal court yesterday morning Cal. Jones, the colored dray man who ran over Mr. H.

Upon the Whole Exhibition Was Pally to Expectations aid Lacking la Objec tionable Feature, Rumors of Which Had Preceded It. Prohibitory special taxes as the re sult of what is characterized by the overscrupulous, r.erhaps, as a strong moral public opinion against such things, has well nigh relegated to the annals of the past in Wilmington the old fashioned show and menagerie of the childhood days of many people of the present generation, and it ap peared for a while that the State's metropolis would pass the season without having a visit from the half dozen and more big tented enterprises that have toured North Carolina dur ing the year. But it was reserved for the Rhoda Royal Shows, which gave two exhi bitions to large crowds at Hilton Park yesterday and last night, to break the monotony for the admirers of the ring and trapeze and revive interest in the now almost legendary red lemonade, chattering monkeys, funny clowns and daring riders. Upon the whole the performance as given by the Rhoda Royal people was quite creditable and though the Wil mington public had been led to be lieve that it was an aggregation of fakirs and gamblers, the people who visited the grounds, found it quite to the contrary and as orderly and as well conducted show as has visited the city in several years. True, it was not so large or so loudly heralded as others that have come this way, but the ex hibition was of a high order and there were few who expressed disappoint ment at the character of the entertain ment afforded. The grounds were conspicuous for the absence of the hum drum and clap trap that usually follows in the wake of a show of its kind and not the least untoward act marked the day's activities at Hilton. The show came in early Sunday morning from Wallace where an exhi bition was given on Saturday. There are eight cars in the special train which brought the property and people be longing to the enterprise. Sunday, as many of the tents as were necessary for the housing of the animals and em ployes were pitched, and in the after noon the street railway people were at their wits and to get out to Hilton and back the people who wanted to look about and see just what circus life is like. It is said there was even a larger crowd out to see the pitching of the tents Sunday afternoon than there was at the performances yesterday. Yesterday about 10 o'clock the usual parade, which was very creditable, was witnessed by large and good natured crowds, which gathered on every street corner and clamored for every point of vantage.' The tent was well filled for the opening performance at z tr. m. anu as stated before, the various features were fully up to the modest claims of the proprietors. The horse and pony specialties were pronounced the best ever seen here and the training was indeed marvelous. The sixty-two horse act was good and nothing like it has been seen here before. The per formance last night was also largely attended and up to the standard of the day exhibition. "Bag and baggage" was quickly bundled after the last performance and the show took its departure this morn ing for Fayetteville, where an exhibi- will be given to day. ARRESTED AT HAWES' MILL. Negro May Be Wasted la South Carolina for Stealing Cotton. Joe Rivers, colored, who answers the description of a negro wanted in Orangeburg county, for stealing two bales of cotton and the cotton seed from four bales from Mr. G. B. Kit trell, a big planter of that section, on Oct. 19th, was arrested yesterday at Hawea' Mill in Pender county by Mr Q. O. Sherman and brought to Wil mington yesterday afternoon. The prisoner was locked up in the city jail where he will be kept until Chief Parmele can hear from Mr. Kittrell, whom he wired yesterday afternoon. Rivers denies the charges, but says he came to Wilmington about a month ago from that part of South Carolina. Prisoners for Raleigh. Sheriff Walter Q. MacRae and Jailor George W. Mil lis will leave this morning for Raleigh with three prisoners sentenced laat week to terms the State penitentiary.

Gasoline Launch, "Morning Star," Got lata a Squall Near Southport Sunday Night No Damage Done The Morning Star, the gasoline launch, in charge of Capt. Geo. War ren, narrowly averted serious injury Sunday night on the river just this aide of Southport. She had started up the river with- a party of young men, who were returning to Wil mington, and before she got any dis tance ran into a wind squall. The wind was blowing furiously and the rain was falling in torrents and mem bers of the party say it was impoosible to see ten yards ahead. Several waves broke clear over the top of the boat. It was about 10.30 o'clock and the captain decided to put back to the wharf. For a half hour it was all those on board could do to keep the boat from being torn to pieces against ahSMiank.. . After the wind abated, tha staunch little craft was beaded up the river again and arrived here at 3.30 o'clock yesterday morning. It was quite a rough and thrilling experience for the party for a few minutes and all speak in highest terms of the sterling quali ties of the launch and Capt. Warren's management of her. Among those who were on the Morning Star were Capt. Warren, Capt John Price, of the Seabright, Robt. Ruark, Esq., Messrs. M. B. Mintz, Leon Pinner, J. H. Thompson, Millard Windsor, Ike Pinner and Fred Doaher. PRETTY SUNDAY WEDDING. Miss Ada P. Peterson aod Mr. Bishop Pridgen United in Matrimony.

Payseur, pastor of Brook lyn Baptist Church. The house was tastily decorated and a number of friends of the couple were assembled to witness the wedding. The following couples attended upon the bride and groom : Miss Re t a Peter son and Mr. William Baggett; Miss Tina Pridgen, of Viola, and Mr. Hill Guthrie; Miss Fannie Moore, of Berta, and Mr. Arthur Kine: Miss Willaba Moore and Mr. Robert Glis- son. A reception was held immediately after the ceremony at the bride's resi dence and also at 214 North Fifth street where the couple will reside.

It is said if the plans of Mr. E. Harvey Cunningham, who was president of the Virginia League last season, make good, this city will next season again have a baseball team. For some time past Captain Cunning ham and Mr. E. J. Doran. the secre tary of the Norfolk Baseball Club, have been sending letters to parties interested in baseball in various parts of Virginia and North Carolina. It is proposed to organize a V lreinia- North Carolina League, and for this purpose a meeting of parties interested will be held at the Monticello Hotel next Thursday to, if possible, form the league. Letters have been written to base ball men in Raleigh, Durham, Wilson, Tarboro, Charlotte, Winston, Salem, Henderson, Wilmington, Rich mond, Lynchburg, Roanoke, Ports mouth, Newport News and Peters burg. Favorable replies have been received from many of these cities and it is now a safe guess that Norfolk, and in fact many other Virginia cities, will have base boll next season. For many seasons past Captain Cun ningham has placed winning teams in Norfolk, and perhaps has lost money, as several of the cities in the circuit did not "pay car fare." No doubt the many base ball enthusiasts would like to see the Norfolk team in a big league next season. Week of Prayer Being Observed.

Baltimore Sun, 26th. A report that created a stir on Sat urday among some of the inside in terests in railroad properties was that the "mutuality of ownership" feature which has lately come into promin ence in railroad management would soon appear in the relations of the Southern Railway, Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line. The scurrying around of several men prominent in some of these pro perties indicated that the plausibility of the story has made a deep impres sion. Denials did not dispose of the report. A financier clone to some of the in terests in these properties, in discuss ing the report, said : "There is a disposition just now to credit almost anything that savors of a deal, and with the public appetite ready to take in such reports there is ale ys louie -o - clever enough to start a plausible sor v. So far this re port about a mutuality of interests in the Southern railroad situation is largely guesswork. But there is some ground for expecting that this may eventually be the settlement of the Southern situation. It is a well-known fact that the Atlantic Coast Line and Southern Railway have been working harmoniously for several years. "Up to the time of the change of ownership the old Seaboard system was a thorn in the side of these two roads. The rate war of three years ago was an attempt to force the Seaboard into an agreement, but the latter made things so warm thai it was able to settle practically on its own terms. Now the Seaboard is a much more formidable rival. If it was not, the Eressure which has been brought to ear by opposing New York financial interests would have prevented the consummation of its scheme of consoli dation. Our local financiers remember the week before Christina of 1899, when such a determined effort was made to crush the Williams syndicate, an incident of which included closing the doors of a New York trust com pany that was supposed to be heavily interested in the Seaboard syndicate. The stocks of some of our local trust companies who had interests in the same syndicate were also subjected to a bear attack. Things looked ugly, but the clouds cleared away and the Seaboard consolidation became an accomplished fact. "The Seaboard property must now be reckoned with in any plan looking toward handliug the Southern busi ness, and the method applied to the trunk territory by the New York Central-Pennsylvania-Baltimore and Ohio deal is a logical, if a far-off, plan. This makes thetalk of a mutuality of ownership plausible." For Whooping Cough use CHENEY'S EX PECTORANT. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. 100 Cords Large Black Jack Wood. Only 6) cents per load.
