McNeill, nff Rmns. wick County, Passed Away Wednesday Night. .. FUNERAL THIS AFTERNOON. He Never Recorered From Aa Atttck of Pneumonia Experienced Early la Jaeaaryat Raleigh A Native of Richmond Coanty. Dr. Daniel Benjauin McNeill, one one or the best and moat favnrikMv known citizens of Brunswick' and three times elected repreaentatire to the General Assembly from .that county, died Wednesday night at the borne of his nephew. Dr. D. D Me Bride, of Maxton, N. O., after an ill ness with pneumonia , and . coinpUe&'- tions since about the first of January. Tbe news came in a telegram from Mxton early yesterday morning to Mr. B. V. Leonard and brought genuine sorrow to the many friends in this city. Dr. McNeill became yery ill within a few days after he went to Raleigh to j attend the la&t session of the General Assembly and remained for some time iq the Kex Hosoital of that citv. When the Legislature adjourned, he was taken to the home of his nephew at Maxton, where he lingered for many weeks until the end came Wtd nesday night as related. Dr. McNeill's home is at Lock' wood's Folly and probably no man in Brunswick county was more(highly es teemed than he. His life was one of charity and aboundinsr in good deeds. He was never married but ' is sur vived by a brother and sister, Dr. J. A.: McNeill and Mra. W. EL Phillips, ofShaJJotte. He was a cousin of the Bon. Franklin McNeill, Chairman of the Corporation Commission, and late of this city. Dr. McNeill was born at Rocking ham,. Richmond county, N. C, in the year 1853. He lost his parents when quite young and was raised by his uncle, Dr. McBride. of Mxton, N. C Hts early, education was received in the academic schools of Rockingham and Robeson county. -Dr. McNeill chose medicine for a profession and bent every energy to this end. His first medicaWearning was secured at Edenboro Medical College, a chartered institution at that ' time under the presidency of his uncle. Dr. Hector McLean. After graduating at this institution he began practicing, but afterwards attended lectures at the South Carolina Medical College, Charleston, 8. C. Although not re quired to do so, Dr. McNeill went before lh Stale Boatf of North Caro lina in 1883, and parsed a creditable ex ami nation, though he had been en gaged in practice , before that 'time. While attending strictly to the duties of his profession. Dr. McNeill always took a lively interest in governmental and political affairs and was allignt d with tbe Democratic party until his death. His clientelage in Brunswick county, to which he removed when a young man, was large and he num bered bis friends by the hundreds. I a 1885 his party called upon him to represent it in the General Assembly, which he did with signal ability and usefulness. For years he was Chairman of his county Democratic Jiixecnttve Committee and held various positions of that character and responsibility. Be took an active interest in the pro ceedings of the Legislatures of 1888 and 1899, but upon returning in 1901.. bis illness with pneumonia confined him to his room during the entire session. In the legis lature of 1899 he was chairman of the Committee on institutions for the Insane and was a member of sev eral other important committees of that body During the session ast ended, he was also chairman of one or more committees and a member of several, bat was orevented from an active dis charge of his duties uton the same by his critical illness. The funeral will be held this after noon from the residence of his nephew at Maxton, N. O., and the interment will be mad in the. cemetery near that town. The news of Dr McNeill's death was telegraphed to South port by Messr. Brooks & Taylor yesterday morning and the Court tiouse mere w nrnmnttv closed and suitably draped out of respect to the distinguished citi sen and representative.

Vonni Walter Silvia Received Daef erons Wonnds la Dance Hall Oe Water Street Takea to Hospital. A serious cutting affray .occurred ast night about 11:80 o'clock in a dance hall .to the. rear of Mr. Carl Stern's saloon on Water between Chesnut and Mulberry streets. Three young white men, Walter Silvia, Jesse Vernon and John Rowland, all more or less intoxicated, becsms in volved in a quarrel over some trivial matter aod the result of a general fight that ensued was that Silvia was dangerously stabbed just under the right shoulder and the muscle of his right arm was laid open by what is supposed to have been a large pocket knife. Policeman Joe Bryant swooped down on the crowd and arrested the three. Policeman Alex. Wells was called from an adjoining leat and assisted in carrying the prisoners to tbe City Hall, where it was ascertain ed that it was necessary to take young Silvia to the City Hospital. The young man Rowland is the one to whom suspicion pciots m 01 1 directly as the assailant of young Silvia , The case will be heard is the muni cipal court to-day if the injured man is able to attend the trial, which is very doubtfuL Policeman Bryant who made the arrest was slashed in several places on his clothing in quelling the disturb ance but fortunately the knife blade did not penetrate to the flesh.
