THE MERRY YULE-TIDE
Thef First Christmas of the New
Century Was Ushered In
Most Auspiciously.
A DAY OF FEASTINQ AND FUN.
Everytbiof Propitious for the Celebra-
tloaof the Grandest Holiday la
tbe Calendar Services
at tbe Cbarcbes.
a over tbe Christian world the
birth of the Prince of Peace was re
proclaimed to-day, and happy Christ
mas carols ring out and mingle with
the sweet chimes of the Yule-tide in
introducing the first Christmas of the
Twentieth Century. The Wholly, the
mistletoe, the bright : happy fires, the
splendid feasts and all those accompa
niments will, of course, be in evidence
on every hand. In Wilmington evert
thing points to a delightful observance
of this, the greatest of all holidays in
tbe calendar. The Oh
was more manifest in Wilmington
yesterday and last night than in
several seasons. Christmas eve was
joyfully celebrated and the cares of
the world seemed to be cast aside in or
der to join in the great merrymaking.
Tbe principal streets and thorough
fares were crowded all day with holi
day shoppers as they passed to and fro
maaing tneir purchases, and it was
late last night when the streets as
sumed their usual quiet.
The small boy, and Jarger ones too
for that matter, gave themselves over
to cannon crackers and everything
else that was noisy, and thus with a
din and rush was ushered in the
Ubrotmas of 1901, hallowed by so
many sweet memories.
The display by the merchants was
much more elaborate this year, and
judging from all indications the sea
son has been a success with them.
The sun came out and took up a more
permanent position, and the weather
was simply ideal after the severe
spell which has just been experienced
Every year brings new and attractive
novelties, and this season was no ex
ception. The retail stores have had
their inning for the past few days.
The wholesale dealers came in for
their share of the big business just
prior to that time. Now that the
greater portion of the business is over
the season of lasting and fun has
set in.
The Yule-tide is the merriest of the
merry, and everybody, old and youog.
great and small, is joining in the gen
eral throng in contributing to make
Christmas the pleasantest and greatest
of holidays.
Saspessloa of Baslaess.
There will be a general suspension
of business in the city to day and only
a few places will be kept open. Tbe

o'clock. The Custom House, exchang

THE FANTASTIC PARADE.

. Maoy RldicalooB Characters.
One of the most interesting celebra
tions of Christmas day will be the
fantastic parade this morning and to
night by the members of the Carolina
Athletic Club. The parade will leave
the hall at Front and Princess

much amusement.
FARMERS STILL IN HOPE.
Recent Cold Snsp May Not Have Done So
Much Damsfe In Georgia and Florida.
Satxinnah Morning News.
Farmers about the city have not yet
been able to determine definitely tbe
extent of the damage done their crops
by tbe cold snap. Some damage of
course has been done, but the growers
still hope it will be comparatively
smalL A day or two of warmer
weather will be needed to reveal the
extent of the loss.
Cabbage is tbe principal crop now
in the fields, though there are small
crops also of beets, carrots, turnips
and the like, intended for sale in the
local market. The crops for the most
part are hardy ones, and there is some
hope that the loss to the growers will
not be large. It is feared, however,
that they will snffer heavily.
Ttie reports received by the South
ern Express Company and the rail
roads from Georgiasand Florida indi
cate that tbe vegetables were frozen
and that tbey will not recover from
tbe cold. The spell of low tempera
ture continued too long to admit of
tbe vegetation recovering.
At Tampa tbe temperature reu as
low as 24 degrees. Such cold as that,
if it lasts long, is too much for vege
tables. Oranges, too, could not with
stand it, and tbe fruit was froxen on
the trees. The trees themselves, offi
cials said, were not killed.

SDOT IN SELF DEFENCE
I Walter
Silva and Bud Green
Were Severely Wounded
Last INight.
BROKE INTO CHAPMAN'S STORE
The Two Mes, Crazed With Drink, Tried
to Pot the Place On the Rum "
ad the Proprietor Fired
loto Them.
Walter Silva, a young white man
who has appeared so conspicuously in
the City and Criminal' Courts for the
past year or two, was shot about 6:80
o'clock yesterday evening by James'
Chapman at the latter's store at Second
and Brunswick streets, and he is now
at the City Hospital in a serious con
dition. Silva and an infamous negro named
"Bud" Green went to Chapman's
grocery and saloon and began raising
a disturbance. Botb were uoder the
influence of whiskey. Chapman found
it necessary to put them out of the
store twice on account of their dis
order, and the third time he put them
out he locked the door. The men be
came desperate at this juncture and
attempted to break in at the door and
window. Chapman warned them and
told them if they broke in and attempt
ed to do him any harm he
would resort to his pistol. The
door was then smashed in and as the
two men made for him, Chapman fired
at them. Silva fell with a S8-calibre
bullet in his head, and the negro, after
giving a yell which signified that he
was shot, jumped out of the store.
The police were notified immediately
and Chapman was taken to the City
Hall and Silva, who was unconscious,
was carried to the hospital. Chapman
was recognized for his appearance, as
he acted wholly in self-defence.
A telephone message from the hos
pital at midnight informed us that
Silva was resting more easily, the bul
let did not break the skull, and unless
there was a concussion, he would
probably recover. However, his true
condition cannot be ascertaind before
to-day.
Silva was sent to the county roads
ai the last term of the Suprior Court
for thirty days, he having been found
guilty of assault with a deadly weapon.
His time expired to-day and he came
to the city from Castle Haynes and be
gan drinking with the negro "Bud'
Green, who is serving out a sentence
on the roads.
The negro came in a cart and had a
box of Christmas goods for Mr. Shear
in, who ia in charge of the stockade.
He has disappeared, but the mule and
cart were found at Eleventh and Cas
tle streets. On the bundles was found
a few traces of blood, which would in
dicate that the negro were wounded
and probably fell from the cart
Chief Furlong had his men on a close
lookout for the desperado last night.
but up to an early-hour this morning
he had not been found.
Both Bilva and Green are men of
very bad reputations and Chapman is
not blamed for using the defense
whicb he did.
LOCAL DOTS.
Christmas tree exercises will be
held at Black well's Chapel to-night.
The Clyde steamship Navahoe

British steamer Wandby, hence
for Liverpool, arrived out yesterday.
Handsome patent gold gas fix
tures have been installed in the Clerk's

The calendar issued by M. W.
Divine & Co. for 1902, is one of the
handsomest received at the Stab
office.
Christmas being a general hol
iday, no work will be done in the
8tab office to-day, and there will be
no issue of the paper to-morrow.
The funeral services over the
remains of Emile John, the infant son
of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Schnibben,
were conducted at 8 o'clock this after
noon, with interment at Oakdale.
Sipio Mack, colored, employed
