The report comes from Pretoria
ia dead, from a gangrened wound in
the shoulder. But these reports are
not confirmed.
Comma nlcated.
Discerning the signs of the times, a
band of earnest women organized a
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union in this city. They desire the
co-operation of others, and state their
aims.
With no political axe to grind or
smashing campaign to inaugurate,
their sole purpose is to protect and
help the tempted, especially our youth,
from the enticements that church,
State and society indifferently regard.
Ordinary intelligence and observation
will show the need of such a move.
Every year an average of sixty thous
and drunkards bury their ruined lives
in the darkness of the grave.
A good woman's influence is worth
too much to waste in the discussion
of the exact analysis of - Can a wine
miraculously made of water, or to
risk offering an intoxicating beverage
to one who has long been considered
a "respectable moderate drinker."
The members of the W. O. T. U.
would by precept and example excite
all their influence in behalf of purity
and temperance.
Only by avoiding the appearance of
evil in private and public can this be
done. The hostess ' who has the
courage to discard the punch bowl and
its kindred the woman who dares
declare her temperance principles
will strengthen the weak will just
ready to yield to the fatal cup, that at
last "biteth like a serpent and stingeth
like an adder."
"Thou sparkling bowl! thou sparkling bowl!
TOO lipsoi Dams my urim uimy yiooo.
And eyes or beauty o'er tne rou,
It may be announced upon perfect
ly reliable authority that the recent
sale of the Wilmington Street Bail
way Company to Messrs. Hugh Mac
Bae & Co., bankers and brokers, has
been confirmed.
The opinion of many has been all
along that the sale would not be con
firmed, but it now appears that the
unexpected has happened. The sys
tem was bid in at a sale in this city on
October 7th, under decree of a fore
closure sale made by the Eastern Dis
trict Circuit Court in a case brought
by the Morton Trust Company, of
New York, to compel payment of in
terest and principal of the bonds un
der the terms of agreement entered
into between the road and the bond
holders. The purchasers were Hugh
MacBae & Co., and the amout paid
was (101,500.
As far as can be learned there was
no objection to the confirmation, and
the necessary papers passed through
the office of the deputy clerk of the
court, in this city, without the hear
ing by Judge Purnell in Baleigh, for
which there was no necessity, no ob
jection having been made.
The following special telegram was
received by the Star last night from
its correspondent in Baleigh :
Baleigh, N. C, Oct. 22. Judee
Purnell is at Elizabeth City this week
holding court To day was set apart
to show cause, if any, why the sale of
the Wilmington Street Bail way to
Hugh MacBae & Co., should not be
confirmed. If there was a hearing as
to the matter it was in Elizabeth
City.
Mr. Hugh MacBae was here to-day
attending a meeting of the North
Carolina Bailroad Board of Directors
He leftthis afternoon for New York. He
discussed the Street Bailway matter
with your correspondent but did not
mention any confirmation. He spoke
of the purchase, however, as settled
and expected very soon to know posi
tively as to whether the company will
put a trolley line on the Seacoast road.
He seemed sure that it would. He in
timated that certain co-operation oh
the part of residents on the sound and
beach was necessary to assure the
change which would cost a hundred
thousand dollars.
Dixie Stock Company In Clever Presenta
tion of "My Partner" Rip Van
Winkle tbe Bill To-night.
Another good sized audience was
i delighted by the Dixie Stock Company
last night. ' My Partner," a bill of QN THE COAST LINE YARDS.
Western type and possessing the
usual element that hovers around the
mine, was presented in a splendid
manner. The members of the cast
again met all requirements and re
ceived much appreciative applause
from the audience.
Especially praiseworthy was the
work of Mr. James Q. Morton and
Mr. Ed. Dupont. These two gentle
men, each in strong contrast to the
other, one portraying emotion and the
other comedy, were decidedly finish
ed in conception and execution of dif
ficult roles. The former was really
able in presenting the character of Joe,
while the latter was up to the very
pinnacle as MajorBritt Mr. E. J.
Lee made a good Ned and Mr. Jack
Mahoney an exceptional fine chink-
The specialties all differed from
those of the night before. -Again in
the lead appeared Miss -Lillian Mack
with her popular illustrated songs.
Especially fine was her rendition of
the popular ballad, "He Laid Away
a Suit of Gray to Wear the Union
Blue."
To day the company gives two per
formances. At special matinee this
afternoon the pleasing comedy, "The
Circus Girl," will be presented and
to-night "Bip Van Winkle" will be
the bill.

Negro Servant Arrested and Charged With
Larceny Prom Residence of Employer.
Martha Clark, colored, residing on
Sixth, near Walnut street, and em
ployed for a time as a servant at the
residence of Mr. William H. Konig,
No. 826 North Fourth street, has been
arrested and placed in jail charged
with" stealing from her employer a
silk umbrella, a black skirt, a lady's
belt, a lady's gold watch, two diamond
rings and another ring with turquoise
setting.
Mrs. Konig has been sick for the
past several weeks and during her ill
ness tbe negro had access to the house
without fear of her misappropriations
being immediately detected. She at
first stole the umbrella, later the skirt
and belt and subsequently went into a
jewelry box in a bureau of one of the
rooms and stole the rings, watch, etc
Mr. Konie says many other articles
are missinsr and there is evidence of
systematic stealing for some time.
The Clark woman denies having stolen
anything but evidence will be intro
duced to show that she told another
negro at church that the rings had
been given to her by Mrs. Konig. The
negro is from the country.

REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.
Attempted to Cross in Front of Locomo
tive and Was Rnn Over Yesterday
Evening at 7 O'clock Near
Worth's Ice Fsctory.
George W. Price, an influential
colored citizen of Wilmington and
for many years a justice of the peace
of the county, was run over by a shift
ing engine in the A. C. L. yards here
last night about 7:30 o'clock, receiv
ing injuries from which he died at the
Walker Memorial Hospital a few
minutes after being transferred there
in the city ambulance.
No one witnessed the tragedy and
particulars of the accident are meagre.
Price was just starting to cross the A.
O. L. yards, going over into "Brook
lyn," at a point just blow Worth's
ice factory on Second street, lie had
not crossed the first track of the many
on the yards when he was struck by a
shifting engine in charge of Engine
man Smith and all his lower limbs
were terribly mangled and bruised.
Both legs were cut off about half
way between the knees and ankles;
both thighs were broken in two
or three places and bis right hand
was badly crushed. None, of the
train crew knew of the accident until
the "shifter" and several cars had
passed over the colored man. They
were then attracted by the cries and
groans of the wounded man beside
the track. It was found that one of
Prise's feet bad become fastened be
tween a guard rail at the switch and
the main track. His shoe and one of
his legs was taken from between the
rails after the accident.
Dr. F. H. Bussbll was quickly sum
moned to the wounded negro and
later Dr. D. W. Bulluck assisted in
giving him temporary surgical atten
tion. He was Chen sent to the hospi
tal but he died in a few minutes after
reaching there and before the surgeons
had time to dress the wounds. The
body was later sent to Price's home on
Eighth and Swann streets.
Price was about 57 years of age and
leaves a wife and several children,
among them being a grown son. For
years he conducted a second-hand
house furnishing store and cabinet
shop. Only a few months ago he
moved his place of business from near
Fourth street bridge to Sixth between
Swann and Nixon streets He was a
member of the colored Masonic order
and was prominent in other secret
societies and industrial enterprises
conducted by colored people.
