Notice -Wilmington Lodge. 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 vassa Guano Company; Mr. Peter 8. Gilchrist an expert chemist of Char lotte; Mr. W. W. MacRae, super intendent of the acid cham bers at Navassa; Mr. B. G. Worth, who testified as to the rental of the "Hall place" before it passed into the hands of plaintiff; Mr. T. W. Bixby, an expert from Baltimore, as to the construction of acid chambers; Messrs. D. L. Gore, a P. McNair, J. EL Brown, of Wilmington,- and S. L. Chinnis, of Brunswick county. Dr. Charles Baskerville, professor of chemistry in the University of North Carolina, went on the stand in the afternoon yesterday and had not con cluded his testimony when court took a recess last night It is expected that it will require un til to-morrow night to finish with the witnesses and argument will be made by counsel to the jury on Saturday. By -agreement the speeches will be limited to one hour each. Many Trade Displays Will be a Feature of tne Forthcom ing Elks' Carnival. CANVASS BEGUN YESTERDAY. AT OPERA HOUSE TO-NIGHT. Miss Leah Less! Will Appear In 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. CRAZY VIRGINIA COLORED MAN. For LaGrippe In fluenza use UUSJ2iX o EXPEGTOBAJMX. He Will be Taken To-day to Emporia la Chsrre of Uepaty. 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 ranged man are pretty accurately summed up. Married Yesterday Afternoon. Miss a Ethel Campbell, daughter of Dr. D. B. Campbell, ofLoris, 8. C was married yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock to Mr. J. B. Smith, of this city, the Rev. J- N. Cole, pastor of Grace M. E. Church, officiating.

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 Wilmington Lodge of Odd Fel lows will have work in the third de gree to-night " '2 v. Mr. Thomas W. Davis has been appointed chairman of the amuse ment committee of the Elks' Fair. The regular monthly meeting of the Chamber of Commerce will be held this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. 1 The city market houses are now observing Winter hours. They close at 13 o'clock and re-open in the afternoon at 3 o'clock. - The steamer Beatrice, of the Atlantic Fisheries Company, has ar rived from Cape Charles, Va., where she has been since the menhaden sea son closed here several months ago. s3! The negro Jim Sanders, who was recently sent from Wilmington to Mullins, S. C, for trial with four others for house-breaking n.d bur glary, has been held for the higher court in South Carolina. He broke into a store at Mullins and stole a number of watches, pistols and other articles. Captured Sooth Carolina Convict. Policeman I. F. Huggins yesterday afternoon went up to the Powers & Gibbs' factory and arrested Jim Doug lass, a middle-aged colored man, who is wanted at Marion, S. C, as an es caped prisoner from the county con vict camp there. He is thought to be one of the number who escaped with Major Henderson, who was captured here and returned to South Carolina about two weeks ago. Douglass denies that he is wanted in South Carolina." Superintendent J. T. Dozier, of the Marion chain gang, is expected to come for the prisoner to-day. Valuable Horse Died. A valuable family horse, belonging to Mr. James F. Woolvin, died yester day morning of blind staggers, pro duced, in the opinion of Dr. T. ;B. Carroll, the veterinary surgeon, by mosquito bites. The horse was famil iary known about town by the name 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. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. MASONIC TEMPLE.
