The United States own an island

Some oil hunters who started to
bore for oil in the Majove desert, in
southern California, didn't strike
oil, but they struck water, which

Negro Stole an Ox.
To steal an ox, bring him to town, a
distance of twenty miles, effect his
sale, pocket the money and get away
without apprehension, is an achieve
ment not every day accomplished by
the most astute purloiner, but such
was the record of Galloway Brown,
colored, who came all the way from
Cronly yesterday and sold to Mr. J. F.
Garrell, for $13.00, an animal which
had been taken from Sarah Adams,
colored, of Brunswick county. The
brother of the woman reached the city

was made but Brown had disappeared.

to its rightful owner, and will seek to
bring the guilty negro to justice.

THE CRYSTAL MAZE.
It Will be One of Most Handsome
and Mirth-Provoking Fea
tures of the Carnival.
ELK BUTTONS DISTRIBUTED.
October Fair Promoters Are Meeting With
Great Success Additional Contribu
tions Were Received Yesterday.
Something of Arrangements.
Elk Carnival buttons were promi
nent upon every hand yesterday, and
the little advertising novelties are
serving well the committee in charge
of the publicity department Many of
them were sent out of the city on
every train yesterday, and, of course,
each one will attract the needed at
tention to the big gala week. A large
lot of them went to Fort Caswell and
many of the soldiers there are expect
ed up to the fair.
The Crystal Maze Attraction.
One of the handsomest and at the
same time mirth provoking institu
tions at the Carnival will be the fa
mous Crystal Maze, under the man
agement of Levitt and Seaman, and
connected with the Midway Carnival
Company. It is a real palace of glass,
constructed with great French plate
mirrors seven feet high and four
feet wide, and so arranged at
angles that the moment one en
ters he is lost in this fairy land
of crystal. Countless reflection of
one's self is seen at every hand ; you
see your entire body and physique in
a thousand different ways. When the
young man in front invites you
to go to the Maze and "see yourself as
others see you" he virtually speaks the
truth . Happy laughter is continually
heard throughout the Maze by parties
who have entered to solve the mys
tery and become lost themselves. After
they have become thoroughly con
vinced that they cannot extricate
themselves from the mirrors which
they are constantly walking into, a
courteous attendant and guide takes
them in hand and exlpains to them the
beauties and wonderful mysterious
mechanism of this monument of class.
One can for hours entertain himself
watching his friends and acquaint
ances become thoroughly lost and
mystified. The Crystal Maze has
a superb and costly exterior, it being
one of those rich and deeply carved
amusement entrances that are so pop
ular in Europe, the actual cost is said
to have been $10,000, and is heavily
covered with pure gold and embellish
ed with French mirrors and fine oil
paintings. At the carnival in Rich
mond last spring, the Maze entertain
ed, lost and mystified more than fifty
thousand people during the week, and
during it's engagement here through
out the carnival period will more than
likely sustain it's past reputation and
find great favor among the better
classes who are looking for clean
amusement

"OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY.'
Mr. Hennesy Leroyle W in Appear In a
MirtbProvokiog Comedy at the
Opera House Friday Night.
"Other People's Money" with Hen
nessy Leroyle as its leading mirth
provoker, is a very useful article to
have and Wilmington theatre-goers
will have it at the Opera House, next
Friday night.
This comedy, the work of Edward
Owings Towne, it is said, has more
genuine wit and laughter-creating sit
uations than any production now be
ing presented to the American public.
The press has sung its praises until
there is scarce a household in the land
where its fame is unknown. Hennes
sy Leroyle, than whom, it is claimed,
there is no more capable comedian of
tne nignest order in tnis country, has
reason to feel proud of his brilliant re
ception on tour. Since his opening
night in "Other Teople's Money"
bis reception, it is claimed, has
been a continous overture, said
to be due to honest, earnest artis
tic work. Mr. Leroyle has his ideal,
though by no means can he be called
an idealist ' For his inspiration he
has looked to nature, acknowledging
no arbitrary standard established by
others.
"Other People's Money" has a mod
ern plot, deals with living busy people
in the active world of financial, social
scheming. It is devoid of the farce
comedy element yet it is constructed
to produce laughter from curtain rise
to curtain fall. What the "School for
Scandal" and "The Rivals" were to
the olden time, so is this latter day
comedy to dramatic productions of the
present To the theatre-goer grown
tired of the low standard only too often
adopted by managers as a makeshift or
desire to emphasize, there is said to be
a treat in stere in witnessing Mr. Le
royle s unapproachable work at the
Opera House on Friday night
INCREASED STRAWBERRY ACREAGE.
Indications Point to a Big Crop Next Sea
son, So informed Persons Say.
Persons who are in a position to
know, say that the strawberry crop
next year promises to be a large one.
if increased acreage will bring it
Preparations for a crop in the way of
growing plants, etc., for transplant
ing have to be begun in the Fall and
Winter, and in this way an early esti
mate may approximate correctness.
Mr. . W. Whitehead, editor of the
Truckers' Journal, with whom a re
porter talked a few days ago, con
curred in the opinion of several that
every indication points to a big crop.
The greatest increase in acreage, Mr.
Whitehead says, will be along the
W., C. & A. railroad, in what is
known as the Chadbourn bait Next
year the strawberry growing conta
gion will have extended, he says, to
the Fair Bluff section and further
down the road as far as Florence. It
will be impossible to put much more
land in profitable cultivation in the
great W. & W. belt it is all in
strawberries now, but the increase
along the W., C. & A. and A. & Y.
railroads will be felt
JOHN ROBINSON'S SHOWS.
Very Grace! ally Yield to Wilmington's Elk
Fair and Will be Here Later.
Mr. Oliver Scott general agent and
Mr. Geo. W. Aiken, both of the "Old
Reliable John Robinson Shows," are
in the city. They expected to bring
their mammoth tented enterprise to
the city about October 14th, but after
arriving here they learned of the
Elks' Fair and Carnival, to be given
in Wilmington about that time, and
very gracefully yielded their contem
plated date until some time early in
November, when their show will reach
here viaSanford, instead of Newborn
as at first thought
Messrs. Scott and Aiken are veter
ans in the show business, and say that
"John Robinson" is bigger and better
than ever this season. . Both of them
have carnival buttons on the lapels
of their coats, and promise to speak
a good word for Wilmington's gala
week in their travels through the
State.
The Robinson show will beat Golds
boro October 11th and at Newborn the
following day. .
AN EPIDEMIC OP INSANITY.'
Five Cases Are Now Confined in County
Jail No Room in Hospitals.
There appears to be a veritable epi
demic of insanity in the county, espe
cially among the colored people, and
the most deplorable feature of the
condition is that there appears to be
no place for a majority of the unfortu
nate ones in the State institutions.
The result is that five are now confined
in the county jail and less violent
cases, in some instances, have been
left to the care of relatives and friends
where such agencies exist
Yesterday a violently crazy colored
woman, Ellen Carter by name, was
recommitted to jail by bondsmen who
took the woman under their care pend
ing a probable admission into the
Goldsboro asylum. Word came that
there was no more room in the insti
tution and her bondsmen had to re
turn her to the custody of the sheriff.
A Fire Last Night
An oil stove caused a small fire at
the residence of Mr. J. W. Collins,
No. 515 Market street, last night about
7:30 o'clock, but the flames were ex
tihguished without the aid of the de
partment An alarm was regularly
sent in, but the system, it is said, fail
ed to transmit it regularly to the sev
era! stations and' there was no re
sponse. The tower bell only tapped
twice, whereas it should have record
ed the number of the box from which
the alarm was turned in.
AN IMAGINARY FOE.
Well Educated Virginia Negro
Declared Insane by a Com
mission of Lunacy.
APPREHENDED BY THE POLICE
He Will be Returned to His Native State.
Imagines That He Is Pursued for a
Crime That He Never Com
mittedHe Has a Secret.
Joseph McDonald Funn, colored,
aged 42 yeais, and hailing from Pow
hatan county, Ya., was the central
figure in an interesting hearing by a
commission of lunacy in the office of
Col. Jno. D. Taylor, Clerk of the Su
perior Court, yesterday afternoon at 4
o'clock. He was adjudged insane and
will be sent to the authorities in Vir-
ginia for keeping.
Funn came to Wilmington Satur
day a week ago and applied at the po
lice station at night for protection
from what subsequently proved to be
an imaginary foe. Chief Furlong dis
missed the negro as one of the many
aggrieved" ones that apply at the sta
tion every day, but his suspicions were
aroused to an extent that he detailed
an officer to shadow him. Funn
proceeded from the Oity Hall towards
a colored lodging house where he had
engaged accommodations on Mulber
ry street, and when in the vicinity of
Grace Church some one turned a cor
ner hurriedly and Funn quickly turn
ed and drew a pistol, whereupon the
officer arrested him and returned him
to the station house. Thinking the
negro had committed some foul deed
for which constant pursuit had un
balanced his mind, Chief Furlong kept
him in the lock-up where he was per
fectly contented for a week. Chief
Furlong worked on the case
industriously but it developed that the
crime, like the pursuers, was only a
creation of a deranged brain. Com
munication with the sheriff of the
negro's county elicited the information
that the negro had once before been
examinated for lunacy but was dis
charged. Funn is a well educated negro from
a seminary in Richmond, Ya., and has
Indian blood in his veins He claims
to-have been an internal revenue col
lector in his State and his speech is
almost faultless. Domestic troubles,
he says, brought unhappiness for him
about a year ago, and some men. who
attacked him in his house one night.
were fired at through his door. One
of them was wounded, and- it is from
them that he has sought refuge. He
has preached some but was never reg
ularly ordained in the ministry. He
claims that he has invented a method
of destruction of men at great distances
and offered to give the secret to Chief
Furlong but the chief declined with
thanks..
He will be kept here until arrange
ments are made for his removal to
Yirginia.
BRUNSWICK SUPERIOR COURT
Most Important Suits Are Yet to be Heard.
Novel Complaint Involving Responsi
bility of a Dealer in Seed.
Thus far no important cases have
been reached on the calendar of
Brunswick Superior court in session
this week at Southport. It is probable
the damage suit of Moore against
Navassa Guano Company will be
taken up to-morrow and continued
throughout the balance of the term.
Herbert McClammy and A. J. Mar?
shall, Esqs., who are in attendance
upon the session, came up to the city
last evening, Thus far only criminal
matters have been heard during the
regular session, but several cases have
been heard in chambers by Judge
Thos. A. McNeill, presiding. Yester
day afternoon the court was engaged
in hearing the charge of arson against
a colored man and his wife, involving
the recent burning of Mr. A. B. Drew's
barn, particulars, of which are well
known.
Before the Navassa damage suit is
taken up, there is another of like char
acter in which .the relation of seed
merchant to his purchasers will as
sume a rather novel attitude. Mr. C.
W. Reiger, a prominent rice planter of
lower Brunswick, recently purchased
a quantity of seed rice from the Worth
Company, of this city. The plaintiff
claims that the seed were non-productive
and he sues for the recovery of
the value of his crop for that year. The
case is perhaps without a parallel in
the court records of the State.

A STREET CAR COLLISION.
Conductor and Passenger Injured by Corn-
log in Violent Contact With an Ice
Delivery Wagon Yesterday.
In a collision of car No. 19, of the
Wilmington Street Railway, with an
ice wagon belonging to W. E. Worth
5cCo., last evening at 6:45 o'clock
near corner of Front and Walnut
streets. Conductor C. C. Rhodes and
Mr. C. C. Hollingsworth, a passenger,
were thrown to the pavement and
severely but not seriously injured.
The car was in charge of Conductor
Rhodes and Motorman Yarney N.
Gilbert and was going north at the
usual speed. The ice wagon one of
the smaller size to which one horse
was attached was being driven in an
opposite direction by Delivery Clerk
H. L. Peterson. The front of the car
passed the wagon safely, but by an
almost unexplainable manipulation of
either the car or ice wagon, the two
went together on the west side about
midway of the car. The conductor
and injured passenger were standing
on the steps at the side and were
struck and dragged off the car by the
rear of the ice wagon. Neither vehi
cle was injured.
Condu ctor Rhodes received a severe
gash over the right eye and
another deep one on the thigh. Mr.
Hollingsworth had some of his cloth
ing torn from his person and com
plained of internal injuries. He re
sides at Magnolia, N. C., and was on
his way to the AI C. L. station to
catch the 7 o'clock train and stepped
to the platform so that he would lose
no time dismounting when his desti
nation was reached a block further.
He reached the station for his train
but was apparently suffering great
pain. The injured conductor was
placed on the car and taken to Fen
tress' drug store from whence the was
subsequently removed to his home at
Second and Castle streets. Dr. W. J.
H. Bellamy is attending him.
