The Wilmington Light Infantry.
the oldest of the local military organi
sations, passed a most creditable of
ficial inspection last night on the drill
grounds surrounding its handsome
armory on Market street
The inspection was by Col. T. H.
Bain, Inspector General of the North
Carolina State Guard, assisted by Ma j.
O. EL White, assistant inspector of
small arms practice, N. C. S. G. Col.
Bain arrived in the city from Golds
boro last evening and although Capt
Adrian and Lieuts. Gillican and James
had only twenty-four hours notice
of his intended visit, the company was
presented in "great shape" and with
full ranks, the per centage of attecd
ance being 100. The men were also
found excellently drilled, and it would
be stretching Colonel Bain's remarks
after the inspection only a little to say
the Wilmington Light Infantry was
found in better condition than any
company in the Guard. This spirit of
good feeling was mutual, for officers
and privates spoke with singular una
nimity as most favorably impressed
with Col. Bain as an Inspector General.
The Second Regiment Band was not
inspected last night, but this duty will
be performed by Col. Bain at 7 o'clock
this evening and all members are
urged to be present at the armory at
that hour.
At 7:45 o'clock this evening Col.
Bain will inspect the Wilmington Di
vision, Naval Reserves, and members
of that organization are also requested
to be present for the occasion.
Col. Bain this week made his an
nual inspection of the State Arsenal at
Raleigh and found everything in
splendid condition. Before leaving the
city to-morrow Col. Bain will inspect
the books of Col. Walker Taylor, Pay
master General of the Guard.
Col. Bain goes from Wilmington to
inspect the company at Oxford.
He has very nearly completed the
work of inspection of the guard.
Everywhere he has found the various
companies in good shape.
The report to Quartermaster General
Macon will show that 1,919 members
of the guard were hauled by the rail
roads in the State last year. The
Southern Railway carried the-Jargest
nfmber 697 to Wilmington.
The supplies in the arsenal are suf
ficient to meet present needs. The
new company at Greensboro will soon
be equipped.

CUMMINQ.
Former Resident of Wilminrtoa and
Brave Confederate Soldier, is Dead
Interment in This City.
Capt. James Duncan Cumming, a
distinguished Confederate soldier,
once a resident of Wilmineton and
brother and uncle, ' respectively, of
Wilmington's esteemed townsmen
Capt. Preston Cumming and Mr. Wm.
M. Cumming, died yesterday morning
at 9 o'clock at his home, No. 547
Madison street. Brooklyn, N. Y. The
news was received here with sin
cerest sorrow by hundreds of friends
though it was not entirely unexpected.
Last Friday night he was stricken
with paralysis for a third time and
remained practically unconscious un
til his death. The second stroke came
about two years ago and when the last
one came little hope was entertained
for his recovery.
Capt Cumming was the oldest son
of William H. and Lavinia Cumming
and was born in Greensboro May 25th,
1832. He was, therefore, in his-70th
year. He moved to Wilmington in
1855 and lived here for fifteen years.
He was well known in Wilmington
and was for some time book keeper for
Jas. H. Chadbourn & Co. He went
to Charleston in 1870 and was a mem
ber of the firm of Trumbo, Hinson &
Co., cotton brokers. Later he moved
to New York, where he, until the time
of his death, was a member of the
firm of Hinson fc Cumming, cotton
commission merchants.
Capt. Cumming has a brilliant mili
tary record and everywhere in the
South the praises of "Cumming's Bat
tery" are sung for its achievements for
the Confederacy in the civil war. Capt
Cumming enlisted as a member of the
Wilmington Light Infantry in March,
1857, and until his death he was a
member of the veteran corps of that
military body. As a lieutenant on
Capt. Hedrick's staff his first service
in the war between the States
was at Fort Caswell, beginning April
16th, 1861. As a member of the Cape
Fear Light Artillery he also saw ser
vice at Fort Fisher, Zeke's Island and
other points in this section. March
11th, 1862, he was made captain and
commander of Company O, Thirteenth
N. C. Battery, Light Artillery, which
afterwards became the famous "Cum
ming's Battery." With this com
mand he saw great service with
Lee's army of Virginia and al
ways bore himself in battle with dis
tinction. The reputation of his bat
tery was established after a particus
larly hazardous angle during the siege
of Petersburg. Capt A. D. Brown, of
this city, was a lieutenant in his com
pany and Capt Preston Cumming,
brother of the deceased was a quarter
master sergeant in the same command.
Capt Cumming was twice married.
His first wife was Miss Kate Rankin,
of Greensboro, and one son, Mr. James
D. Cumming of Brooklyn, survives by
this union. His second wife, who
was Miss Lettie Lewis, of Lewiston,
Maine, also survives him. Of a large
family of brothers and sisters, Capt
Preston Cumming, of Wilmington, . is
now the only survivor.
The remains of the deceased will be
brought to Wilmington for funeral
and interment, but last night the hour
of arrival was not known. The ar
rangements will be announced iater.

WALLACE ON TRIAL
Negro Charged With Murder
Of
Will. Dudley Before the
Superior Court.
BEGAN YSTEERDAY MORNING.
Much Time Consnmed In Selection of
Jury From Venire Nnmberlnf Nearly
100 Mlis-Bell DlHIcnlty Agsln
Alred-Hher Proceedings.
Barring the trial of two or three
cases incident to the Millis-Bell family
trouble, almost the entire term of the
Superior Court was taken up yester
day in arranging for and entering up
on the trial of the negro John Wal
lace, charged with murder in the first
degree. When court took a recess for
the day at 6 o'clock last evening a
jury bad been empanelled and two
witnesses had been beard for the State.
The trial will likely be concluded to
night
Wallace is but a youth and gives
his age as 19 years. He weighs little
more than 100 pounds and sajs his
home is near Statesville where his
mother lives. The crime with which
he is charged is that of shooting Will
Dudley, another negro, who was for a
long time porter at theNavassa Guano
Company's office in this city. . Wal
lace succeeded in making his escape
after the shooting but was at last cap
tured by Capt Cutts on an A. C. L.
freight train between Wilmington and
Goldsboro. A reward of $100 was of
fered for his capture by the Board
of County Commissioners and the
Chief of Police of Goldsboro. to
whom the negro was turned over for
safe keeping by Capt Cutts, claimed
the reward and it was not paid for
some months until a settlement was
reached between the parties to the
controversy.
Wallace has been in jail here since
his capture and was formally arraigned
at the last term and Jno. H. Gore,
Jr., and Robert Ruark, Esqs., as
signed by the court to defend him.
The case was continued and an effort
was made to have Solicitor Duffy
agree to a submission of murder in
the second degree, but this was denied.
Work was begun yesterday morn
ing at 10:80 o'clock in selecting a jury
from the regular list and from the
special venire of sixty ordered sum
moned on the day before. These were
all exhausted before half the jury was
in the box and still other venires were
ordered until 96 men in all had been
drawn. Both sides exhausted the
usual number of peremptory chal
lenges and a great number for cause.
Counsel for defendant noted several
exceptions as to the ruling of the
court as to what constituted a cause
for challenge.
The jury as at last empannelled at
4:30 o'clock in the afternoon was as
follows: A. S. Holden. DeLancey
Evans, R. COrrell, Samuel Northrop,
H. W. Howell, R. M. Wescott, A. G.
Hankins, W.M. Wise, D. EL Revielle,
J. B. Waiters, H. E. Boney, W. P.
Burns.
The taking of testimony for the
State was immediately begun and Dr.
O. D. Bell, county coroner, and
Phoebe Sterling, an eye-witness to the
shooting, were introduced by Solicitor
Duffy, who is conducting the prose
cution and contesting every inch of
ground for a verdict in the first de
gree. The Sterling woman was under
going a cross-examination when court
took a recess.
Solicitor Duffy is being assisted in a
professional way by his law partner,
E. M. Koonce, Esq., of Jacksonville,
N. 0., and in a clerical capacity by
Mr. O. D. Koonce, a law student in
the office. The evidence is being taken
in short hand by Miss Stella Shrier.
The testimony of ur. Bell was
mainly as to the coroner's inquest It
was brought out on cross-examination
that a stick was exhibited, at the in
quest which was said to have been
used by Dudley in a fracas which end
ed in his death. On this point the de
fence relies largely for a verdict in the
second degree, if not for a verdict of
not guilty on the ground of self-de
fence.
The evidence of the Sterling woman
was particularly damaging to the case
of the defendant It showed no pro
vocation in the matter but counsel for
the defence have not yet finished with
A cross-examination.
Judge Allen did not allow the jury
to separate last night and they are be
ing held in the Court House pending
a conclusion of the case. Sheriff S tea
man provided each of the jurors with
a cot for sleeping purposes and it was
ordered that the Court House be
properly bolted during the night
Other cases tried yesterday were as
follows:
Walter Silvia plead guilty to as
sault with deadly weapon and sen
tenced to two months on public roads.
George Millis. assault with deadly
weapon ; continued until . next term
and defendant recognized in the sum
of $25.
Henry Purdie, assault with deadly
weapon; instanter capias ordered and
issued.
T. F. Bell, assault with deadly wea
pod, vis, shooting at George Millis;
defendant submitted and sentenced
to two months confinement in the

J. J. Millis alias Scip Millis, assault
with deadly weapon upon T. F. Bell;

THE CRY OF THE POOR.
An
Appeal to the Pablic By Rev.
Calvin S. Blsckwell, President of
the Associated Chsrities.
Dr.
The Star has received the follow
ing from Ltr. ualvin a. tuacKweu,
president of the Associated Charities,
which is entirely appropriate to the
Thanksgiving season :
"The most solid comfort one can
fall back on is the thought that the
real business of one's life is to help in
some way to reduce the sum of igno
rance, degreuation, misery and want
on the. face of this beautiful earth.
This thanksgiving season should sug
gest to at least five hundred people
the opportunity of doing a real and
needed good to the .poor through the
medium of tne Associated unariues or
this city. The statement officially
made a few weeks ago of the pressing
need of funds to carry on this great
work found response only in the
breasts of very few people. We are
at the . first of a Winter of hardest
times for the poor that Wilmington
has experienced for twenty years. Is
is possible that our people of means
and comfortable circumstances are go
ing to reverse their traditions for
large neartea and generous giving tor
the relief of the poor!
