Munroe & Kelly Furniture.
After energetic pursuit by the police
for four days the man confeseing
to be the assailant of Policeman E. R.
Chadwick was captured yesterday by
Sergeant O. 8. Burnett in Brunswick
county.
The man captured is John R. Potter,
white, who is known more familiarly
as "John Reb" Potter, aged about 35
years, and last employed at theDelgado
Mills. Chief Furlong received a tele
gram from Sergeant Burnett giving
the bare facta of the capture and stat
ing that he would arrive in the city
last night via the W. O. & A. rail
road from Brinkley, which is just
across over the Brunswick line in Co
lumbus counry.
Potter evaded capture since his al
leged crime Saturday night in a most
mysterious manner but Chief Furlong
determined upon his arrest at any cost
After shooting Mr. Chadwick, Potter
remained in the city until Sunday
morning and then crossed over into
Brunrwick county, his native home.
Although most diligent search was
made for him Saturday night and Sun
day morning, there was little clue to
his whereabouts. Sergeant Burnett
who has been most active in his ef
forts to catch the man ascertained that
Potter or some one had shot ' into the
house of a woman living near Fifth
and Wright streets. He soon discov
ered that the tracks about the street
where the shooting occurred, were not
those of the negro Fisher, who was at
first charged with the offence, and he
followed the tracks to Greenfield mill
pond and later discovered that Potter
had made an unsuccessful attempt to
get a boat to cross the river further
down. Sunday morning about three
o'clock he crossed at Hilton bridge and
Sergeant Burnett and Policeman Mar
cus Gray were detailed by Chief Fur
long to follow his trail. Later, Chief
Furlong and Policeman E. Skipper
went over but returned with Police
man Gray, leaving Sergeant Burnett
in possession of a clue which he was
instructed to follow. About twelve
miles from the city Potter had passed
the house of Tom Henry and
about .four miles further on
he had been, seen by a relative,
Mr. Sam Potter, who gave the officers
all information possible. The next
place where Potter was located was
at the house of a jrentleman named
Raven, where he had dinner, shaved
off his mustache and leftfby mistake
the club which had been wrested
from Policeman Chadwick on the
night of the shooting. From there
track of Potter was lost and Sergeant
Burnett associated with him in the
search Deputy Sheriff Skipper, of
Brunswick. The two officers scoured
the country in search of the man, go
ing to Cronly, Freeman's Cross Roads
and later down to Brinkley. Near
Brinkley Deputy Sheriff Reaves, of
Columbus, was added to the searching
party and in his cart the officers start
ed yesterday morning to the home of
a relative of Potter's in Columbus
county. On their way to the place
Sergeant Burnett spotted his man,
carrying a small black valise along a
by-path in Green swamp, about twenty-five
miles from Wilmington. Ser
geant Burnett was armed with a re
peating shotgun and levelled the
same at Potter with instruc
tions at a distance of about fifty
yards to throw up his hands. He
dropped the valise and did as the Ser
geant requested. He was taken alto
gether by surprise and on his way to
Brinkley confessed everything. He
was afraid he had killed Policeman
Chadwick and inquired anxiously
about his condition. He said, that he
shot because he was drunk and deter
mined not to be taken. From Brink
ley he was brought in last night on a
local freight train, arriving at 11:40
o'clock. In his valise were a number
of articles of tsiothing, $1 in money,
but no weapon. The only signs on
Potter's body to Indicate that he was
in the scramble with the officer is a
pistol shot flesh wound on his breast
The ball entered the clothing but bare
ly penetrated the flesh. The pistol the
officer carried was a British bull-dog
pattern of very poor quality.
Potter is said to have a very un
savory reputation in the community
at large. Some time ago he is said to
have made a murderous attack upon
Wess Odam, white, by beating him in
the face with a brick. For this offence
he was never brought into court and
evaded arrest from every source.
Other petty offences are charged to
him here, and in his native county he
..... . i.i HHw n
is described as a -moiwi
Many of the citizens, fear him-and a
number of crimes are said to be
charged to his commission both in
Brunswick and Columbus.
. Potter is a married man, but is said
to be separated from his wife. He has
two children.living on the sound.
Policeman Chadwick, who was shot
and beaten badly about, the face and
head with the butt of a pistol and his
own club, is doing very well and will
likely be able to appear against Pottea
In the Mayors court in a lew aays.
John H. Gore, Jr., Esq., of counsel
for defendant, Mr. Fred. Kidder and
a number of other witnessss interested
in the case of F. M. Moore vs. Navassa
Guano Company, at Southport, came
up to the city last night at 10 o'clock on
the tug Navassa.
As predicted before in these col
umns, the case will consume the bal
ance of this week in hearing, and it will
likely be late Saturday afternoon be
fore the issues are given to the jury.
Up to Tuesday noon, thirty of the
seventy-five witnesses for the plaintiff
had been examined, and at that stage
the plaintiff rested. The defendant
then began with its witnesses, and
those that have thus far been examin
ed are Mr. E. Borden, manager of the.
chemical department of the Virginia
Carolina Chemical Company; Mr.
H. W. Malloy, president of the Na

Old Favorite Emotional Play
"East Lysne."
the
The production pf "East Lynne,"
which will be seen to-night at the Opera
House, is said to be the best that has
been given this famous old play In
many years, and will doubtless prove
to be one of the events of the local
theatrical season.
The charming young emotional
actress, Miss Leah Lessi, will portray'
the dual role of Lady Isabel and
Madame Vine. Critics are almost
unauimous in declaring her to be Mrs.
Henry Wood's ideal "IsabeL" The
version which will be seen here, was
written by Miss Lessi herself after a
careful study of the novel, and the
stage presentation it is said will be as
true to the book as it ' is possible to
make the two coincide. Miss Lessi
has an excellent supporting company.
One of the features of this produc
tion that will be pleasing to ladies is
the beautiful gowns worn by Miss
Lessi. They - were all designed and
manufactured, according to the claim
of the management, in Paris last Sum
mer. Besides .her splendid ability as
actress, Miss Lesti is well known in
the musical circles, many of her com
positions having b come popular.
Seats are now on sale at Ger ken's.

Deputy Sheriff W. H. Cox will
leave to-day for Emporia, Va., carry
ing with him Joseph McD. Funn, the
educated colored man from that State,
who was recently adjudged insane by
a commission of lunacy in this city. -
It will be remembered that Funn is
the negro who was taken in custody
by the police several weeks ago, and
imagines that someone is pursuing
him for a crime that only has being in
his deranged brain. The transfer of
Funn to Virginia is in accordance
with the laws of North Carolina, and
Col. John D. Taylor, Clerk of the Su
perior Court will send with the pris
oner all the papers in the case, includ
ing two letters written by Funn while
in prison to Chief of Police Furlong.
In this letter the delusions of the de

Merchants Anxiously Take Hold of Scheme
to Promote Their. Interests Daring ' i
Pair Week One of Bostock- j
Ferarl's Many Attractions.
- As early as the middle of next week
the merchants of the city in the Elk
Carnival district will begin erecting
fancy booths in front of their stores,
and the indications are that a large
majority of them will be novel and
beautiful, adding much to the gala
attire of the city upon that occasion. -Mr.
F. C. Huffman, the fair pro
moter, and Mr. H. J. Gerken, chair
man of the Carnival Executive Com
mittee, yesterday began a canvass of
the business houses at Walnut- street
and met with much encouragement in
the way of promises for booth build
ing. It was impossible to get over all
the area yesterday, but th canvass
will be continued to-day and to-morrow,
if not finished sooner.
Many of the merchants will build
very elaborate booths and have them
handsomely decorated and lighted.
Decorative material, including many
floral designs and Elks' bunting in
white and purple, have been ordered
by the merchants, and much of it has
already arrived; notably at the stores
of theC. W. Polvogt Company and
C. W. Yates & Co.
The Fair and Carnival now promises
even greater things than was at first
expected. The attractions will be
many and varied. Wherever the Bos-tock-Ferari
shows have appeared this
year they have given great satisfac
tion. Moving pictures kept up to date are
always an interesting exhibition. The
announcement of the subjects that
will be exhibited and illustrated is
sufficient proof that the one coming
with the Midway company will be of
unusual merit The President's funer
al is the latest prominent one that the
Edison company has munufactured.
It will be the first American produc
tion outside of New York city of
Edison's latest films, illustrating all the
ceremony attending the sad event
The pictures were taken on the spot by
special operators of the Edison Com
pany. The roll measures 1,000 feet
and more than 20,000 distinct pictures
are necessary to reproduce the scenes,
which include the funeral cortege, etc.
Five hundred feet of films made
when Carrie Nation was on her joint
smashing crusades in Kansas will also
be presented. The robust home de
fender and her band of wreckers are
shown at work with their hatchets and
the exhibition undoubtedly will prove
a drawing card. A trip to the moon,
a laughable Parisian moving picture
invention, is featured with the other
presentations, as is also the only suc
cessful colored animated scenes depict
ing the beautiful pantonine "Cin
derilia." The pictures are perfect and
and are given on a i901 model of the
Edison machine, which causes no vi
bration or the usual fluttering that is
almost invariably found in an exhibi
tion of this nature. The show lasts
fully forty-five minutes and isTsasily,
worth five times the amount of admis
sion charges. By the aid of especially
manufactured black canvass the pic
tures are as equally well shown in the
day time as at night

of "Dan." He was 16 years of age,
but was fast on the track and highly
valued by his owner. Dr. Carroll says
hundred of horses have died this year
along the North Carolina coast from
disease produced by mosquito bites.
