POLICE ROUTED GANG
OP NEGRO ROBBERS.
Three of Them Captared Yesterday With
Mach oi Their Booty One of Nam,
ber Wonaded by Officer.
The leaders in what was evidently
an organized band of negro thieves
were captured by the police yesterday
and the offenders, three in number,
are now held at the police station for
preliminary trial in the municipal
court to-day at noon. A quantity of
provisions, clothing, shoes, hats, etc.,
the booty of several good-sized rob
beries the past few months, were re
covered and are now at police head
quarters for identification.
The negroes were detected shortly
after 5 o'clock: yesterday morning by
Messrs. M. Marshburn and John Fales.
They were seen rolling a well-laden
wheel-barrow up Price's Alley, which
is between Fifth and Sixth and Church
and Castle streets. ... The matter vwts
reported to Policemen Dan A. Rowan
and G. R. Holt as they were going off
duty for the night. The officers hur
ried to the alley and the negroes were
unloading the goods into a house.
Eli Berry, one of the three, was
caught on the spot but a second mem
ber of the gang, John Martin.colored,
ran and was given a lively chase as far
as Ninth and Dawson streets- byPolice
man Rowan, who emptied his revol
ver at the fugitive. Berry waa soon
locked up at the station house and Of
ficer Rowan and Police Sergeant O. S.
Burnett .hurried off in search of
Martin. About 7:30 o'clock the ne
gro was found in bed at a nouse
n Union Square, a negro settlement
in the extreme southeastern section of
the city. The fugitive had a bullet
in the calf of his right leg from Officer
Rowan's pistol. He was brought
down to the station house, his wound
was dressed by Dr. C. T. Harper and
he was locked up. The third member
of the gang, Rep, alias'tOhuck' Samp
son, was arrested by Sergeant C. S.
Burnett in a bouse on Seventh be
tween Orange and Ann streets.
The wheelbarrow in which the
goods were conveyed waa stolen from
the Street Railway power house and
Chief Furlong traced the vehicle from
the water front between Orange and
Ann streets. Chief Furlong is of the
opinion -that the goods were robbed
from the warehouse of Stone, Rourk
& Co., the store of Geo. O. Gaylord
and others and taken to a hiding place
up the river until the excitement at
tendant upon the robberies had blowu
over. Then the negroes brought them
down and daylight overtook them un
loading from the boat. Among the
goods recovered were a case of lard,
60 pounds; a box of tobacco, four
sacks of flour, a case of snuff, 150
pounds of meat, conde'nsed milk, two
valises, soap and neckties, and a pile
of clothing, coats, pants and vests.
Mr. Gaylord identified a part of the
goods and Messrs. Stone, Rourk &
Co. the others.
OPERA HOUSE THIS EVENING..
Beautiful Extravagaszs fof Benefit of the
Daabters of Confederacy.
If the interest manifested in the en
tertainment by the Daughters of the
Confederacy in the Opera House this
evening is any criterion there will be a
packed house to see the performance.
It is safe to say that it will be the most
elaborate production ever essayed In
Wilmington by amateur talent, and
Prof. Lee, under whose direction the
play it given, says the rehearsals have
been most satisfactory. Orer two
hundred prominent young people and
children have a place in the cast and
the staging effects will be costly and
pretty.
The event Is for the benefit of Ospe
Fear Chapter, U. D. 0., and this alone
should assure a large pattonage. " Sale
of seats is now in progress at Gerken'a
and reservations should be made early
to-day.
The play is the popular extrava
ganza "Pun in Boots," which will be
Been for the first time in Wilmington.
Its production elsewhere is heralded
by press and public as everything
that the management claims for it
Prof. W. J.' Brinkley, president of
Austin College, Effingham, 111., says
"the entertainment is one of the pret
tiest, cleanest plays upon the -Amerl
can stage of to-day." The Anderson
(S. O.) Daily Mail says ; : i
"There has never probably been a
larger audience in Anderson opera
house than when 1,800 people saw the
dramatization of that charming old
fairy play, "Puss, in Boots," but it is
certain there never was a more delight
ed audience. Mr. M. J. Lee is a cour
teous, high-toned manager and gen
tleman, a fine trainer of children, and
is himself an actor of no mean order."
FOR REGISTER OP DEEDS. gj jgggg BheeDan
To the Voters of New HanoverCounty: gfj j j SSaair""0
It appears from the announced re
sult of the primary election held yes
terday, that all the present county om
cials have been returned except Mr.
Biddle for Register of Deeds, and that
a second primary is necessary as to
that office. The only argument I have
heard against his return is that he had
held the office for four years and that
others were entitled to a chance. This
was also a fact as to the other officers.
but seems to have had no weight in
this case. It' Is a dmitted that the
office has been well managed during
the period, and that all records have
been correctly kept and in perfect or4
der, by Mr. Biddle and his assistant,!
Mr. John McLaurin. ! am a friend of
Mr. Haar, supported him regularly for
nomination and renomlnation when he
formerly held that position, but Mr.
Biddle should now be endorsed as all
the other officials have been. - I ami
glad to hear that Mr. Haar has now a
very good position. I hope that all
our friends will goto the polls at the
second primary and vote for Mr,
Biddle to-day. x R. D. Chonly. t
PRIMARY AFTERMATH
Second Contest To-day Between
Haar and Biddle for Reg
ister of Deeds.
THE OFFICIAL COUNT OF VOTE
It Differs Little from the Star's State
ment of Yesterday Morning Execu
tive Committee Met Yesterday.
Adrian for Surveyor.
The Democratic County Executive
Committee met yesterday evening and
canvassed the vote in Tuesday's pri
maries. The result is practically the
same, with the correction of a few ty
phographical errors, as was printed in
tablulated form in these columns yes
terday morning. . An examination of
the returns will show that the poll was
verjr lights only about 1,350 , votes
having ' been cast against 2,967 for
Aycock for Governor in th$rlast State
election. j . .
As stated yesterday morning the
race between Messrs. John Haar and
W.j H. Biddle was so close as to re
quire a second primary j to determine
a choice and the same is officially call
ed by the Executive Committee to be
held to-day at the same polling places
and between the same i hours as for
Tuesday's election. Only Messrs.
Haar and Biddle can be voted for in
to-day's primary according to the offi
cial call, and votea f obother candidatea
will be thrown out In the Fifth
ward to-day there will also be an elec
tion for executive committeemen and
delegates to the county convention
from that ward, some confusion hav
ing arisen in the count Tuesday which
justified the Executive Committee in
declaring "no election" for those posi
tions. Practically the same poll hold
ers will serve to-day as ! on Tuesday,
and returns will be made to-night at
the Court House.
The entire list of delegates and mem
bers of the precinct executive com
mittees were printed correctly in these
columns yesterday. There was some
question as to the lists elected in the
Second, Third and Fourth wards as
committeemen and delegates were
voted for on separate ballot but the
Cdunty Committee yesterday found
that the separate ballot was only
a technical violation of the call and al
lowed them to stand. In the Fifth
ward only will 1 delegates and commit
teemen be voted for again.

How About
That Tackle ?
The blue birds are with us
again. The streams and ponds
are warming up. The fisher
men should be looking "np
their outfits. Seeing if any
thing is wanted before the
last minute.
As of old we are showing
the finest things to tempt the
fish kingdom and make the
sport more sporty for the
anglers.
Lines may be wanted ; poles must be
needed; hooks are very necessary, and
in fact we have everything that is re
quiredto make a complete outfit.
To those that are interested in the
sport to those others that may. not be
so enthusiastic, we wiuld consider it a
favor to have all come in and look.
