Bandy the Assallaat Lady Hart His youthful mind aflame with rage because he saw a strong, burly man unmercifully beating his aunt at the home of his mother, No. 313t Market street, Thomas J. Overby, 10 years old, crawled out of bed yesterday morning,- secured a pistol and shot down Geo. W. Bundy, aged about 45 years, and a boarder in the house where the trouble occurred. Mrs. Sarah A. Record, a widow lady ; Mrs. Ida N. Overby, her daughter and also a widow; Mrs. Record's maiden sister, Alias ic. L. squires, aged 65 or 70 years old; the injured man, Geo. W. Bundy, and Mrs. Overby'a little son Tom, aged 10 years, all live over Mr. A. Si Winstead's confectionery store on Market street. Thursday, W. . Lockamy, of Fayetteville, a step on-in-law of Mrs. Record, came from Conway, 8. CL, to visit the family. In the afternoon he took Mrs. Record and Mrs. Overby to the Sound with him, and on this trip .there was some conversation which came to the ears of Bundy and enraged him. , Nothing came from the sound visit Thursday night, but yesterday morning Bundy woke up In an ugly humor. He is about 45 years of age' and has been working at the Hilton Lumber Co. As breakfast was about ready he picked a quarrel with Locka my, but Lockamy refused to have trouble with him and left the house, although challenged to the street for a fight Lockamy out of the way, Bundy began to make trouble for the female occupants of the house, as there was no male protector for them, save Mrs. Overby's ten-year-old son, who was still in bed. Mrs. Record, who is a lady of advanced years, was knocked down and kicked by the savage man and when remonstrated with by Mrs. Record's sister, Miss Squires, he at tacked her with a hatchet, the blade of which flew off and perhaps saved the woman's life. With the helve, how ever, he was beating the woman un mercifully, sitting on her body and dealing her fearful blows about the head and face. It was at this very critical stage of the brutal assault that little Tom Overby crawled out of bis bed, saw the inhuman treatment his aunt was receiving and fearing for the life of both her and his mother, who was also in the rooms he ran to another room and secured an old pistol of very cheap manufacture, which had not been fired in several years. Although it was the first time the boy had ever handled a pistol, he cocked the weapon and snapped twice at his aunt's assail ant before the weapon would go off. Upon the third attempt the. pistol fired and the ball took effect in Bandy's head, Inflicting a wound that would perhaps haye been fatal, had the weapon used been one of standard make. The boy tried a fourth time to shoot, but the pistol snapped again. He said the first bullet struck the floor and glanced, striking Bundy. Mr. W. W. King and others who were across the street ran up the steps and put an end to the fracas. Bundy was taken by Police Sergeant Woolard to the Hospital where his wound wss dressed. He was later returned to the police station and locked up. Miss Squires was also sent to the Hospital. She has a severe gash across the fore head and down into the eye and sev eral other painful bruises. Miss Squires is now being 'attended at her home by Dr. Bellamy. Mrs. Record also has several bruises on her body as a result of the brutal kick of Bundy. In the police court yesterday Mayor pro tern. Cooper went into a thorough investigation of the affair, the City Attorney and Marsden Bellamy, Esq., appearing for the prosecution. The boy was discharged and commended for his action and Bundy was sent over to jail for the higher court In de fault of $250 justified bond. The family in which the trouble "oc curred came here three years ago from Charlotte. Bundy came with them and boarded with the family while in Charlotte. He had always been rery attentive and kind until the bruUl as sault yesterday. He Is said to have been drinking on the night before.

Colambos Brsscb. va ' mx. a. a. ferry, secretary and treasurer of the Columbus Telephone Company spent a part of yesterday in itie city, having reached Wilminsrton from Southport where he went in the interest of the new line which his company is soon to extend to that en terprising little seaport Mr. Perry says that in South Dort all the money was subscribed necessarv to the building of the connection and work upon the same will commence at once. The Cape Fear Towinsr and i Transportation Co. headed the list of subscribers and the amount of stock needed was quickly made up. The poles for the new line are al ready at Navassa and as the line is to be built from that noint thev will h uniriumea aiong me route very quickly and Southport will be on "speaking terms" with the rest of the world by Oct 1st As the Bell Telephone Co., of Wil mington, is to enjoy traffic arrange ments with the-Columbus line, and vice versa, it will be only a question of a very short time until it will bs as easy to communicate with "our neigh bors by the sea" as it will be to talk with the beach or over other out-of- townlines. The Columbus Go., has its Wilmington line built as far this way as a few miles this side of Oronly and at Navassa the connection will be com plete, certainly in less than six or eight weeks. BEACH CARS BY SEPTEMBER 1ST. Usfortnnsle Delsy of SUpsieot of Steel Dissppoists Compssy Here. It will be September 1st, or perhaps a few days later, before the beach trol ley line willba in operation, but from correspondence seen yesterday by a rep resentative of the Stab, it is no fault of the Consolidated Railways Light and Power Co. The . trouble lies in the inability of the company to get the suburban cars, which were promised long ago, and the extreme impractica bility of operating the present small cars used on the city tracks. Every thing else has been in perfect readi ness for ten days or more, but those muchly-wan ted cars were simply not forthcoming, hence the delay. A letter from the John Stevenson Co, car builders of Elizabeth, N. J., dated Aug. 18th, was yesterday re ceived by General Manager A. B. Skelding, saying that the cars would have been shipped before if they had been able to get the axles. Enclosed in the' letter was a communication from the Rochester Car Wheel Co., of New York, in which it is stated that by a delay of the steel on a lost Penn sylvania car the axles had just been received and would be shipped to the car builders in a couple of days. The car builders say It will take about four days to mount the motors, instal the cars and load them on flats. "Every thing else is ready," concludes the letter, "and you can rest assured everything will be done to rush cars to completion upon arrival of axles." WILMINQTON'S FIRST NCW BALE. Received From A. J. McKIbbo , of Maxtoa, Yesterday Notea of the Market Tfie first bale of new crop cotton to reach Wilmington this season arrived yesterday to Messrs. Hall Je Pearsall, Incorporated. It . was shipped on Thursday by A. J. McEInnon, of Msxton, who asked that it be sold to the highest bidder on the Produce Ex change. Messrs. Hall & Pearsall will dispose of the cotton to the best advan tage. - The receipts of cotton on the Wil mington market during the week ended yesterday were 43 bales against 112 bales during the same week last year. The receipts since Sept. 1st have been 278,113 bales against 258,395 f bales during a corresponding period last year. The quotations by the Chamber of Commerce yesterday were on a basis of 8 cents for middling, but it is doubtful if there were any actual sales at that figure. The receipts of naval stores for the week show a falling off from the same week Isst year in all items except rosin which Increased nearly double. TO ENLARQB HEMENWAY SCHOOL.

' ' - :.. SATURDAY, AUGUST WEEK'S PLEASURES. Children of Odd Fellows' Orphan age at Goldsboro Will Re turn Home To-day. THE CONCERT LAST NIGHT. Y. M. C. A. Auditorial Was Packed to . Overflowlflg Oellfhtfal Day as Quests of Manager Hloton of the Seashore Hotel. y If anything the last day's entertain ment of the children from the Odd Fellows' Orphanage at Goldsboro by the loyal members of the order in Wilmington was more distinguished than at any time before during the week. . The children will end their season of pleasure this morning and return to their Home on the 9:30 A. M. train, refreshed in body and spirit and with a fond recollection of their last annual visit to the seacoaat. The children have appeared to enjoy themselves more than ever on this trip and in the added pleasure the Wilmington Odd Fellows have had participation in an increased consciousness of duty well performed. Yesterday the children accompanied by Supt Brinson and many Wilming ton Odd Fellows enjoyed a day at Wrightsvllle beach as the special guests of Mr. Joe Hinton, the big hearted and successful manager of the splendid Seashore Hotel. Bathing suits were placed at the disposal of the visitors, and under the guardianship of their chapero.nes the children had a delightful dip in Old Ocean. Later the party sat down to an elegant dinner of sea food and other delica cies, which had been specially pro vided by Mr. Hinton. The children were loth to leave, but at 5 o'clock all came back to the city, much refreshed and in excellent spirits. A pleasing incident of the trip to the beach was the presentation to Mr. Hinton of a handsome, watch charm and fob, the design of the charm being three links, an emblem of the order. The presentation speech was by Su perintendent Brinson, who spoke of the kindness always showered upon the children by Mr. Hinton and the grate ful motives which prompted the gift Mr. Hinton responded in graceful terms to the neat expression and bade the children always welcome to his splendid hotel. Another pretty little incident of the children's visit to the coast this year was the donation by Mr. Geo. A. Croft, of Wrightsville Sound, of a sum of money, out of which each of the little visitors was provided all the pocket money they, desired to spend on little pleasures while in the city. The crowning feature of the week was the concert last night at the Y.M.O.A.,. n which the children, assisted by local talent and under the capable direction of Mr. Alex. S. Holden, scored an ar tistic triumph. The numbers were all well selected, appropriate to an occa sion of the kind and skillfully rend ered. Mr. Edward H. Munson play ed a delightful accompaniment to the selections, several of which were warmly encored. The large auditorium was taxed to ts utmost capacity to hold tne audience. Just before the close of the exercises Supt Brinson made a grace ful little speech In behalf of the chil dren, thanking the people of Wil mington for their kindness and Invit ing them to visit the Home at Golds boro when passing that way. Mr. Brinson's remarks were heartily ap plauded and were In extremely good taste. Another pleasing little diversion not on the programme waa the story In song by Mr. C H. Cooper of "How I Came to Get off the Train at Buffalo." Mr. Cooper produced the number by special request and it was much en- oyed. The programme was as fol ows: Bong, "My Native Village Bells," by alt Dialogue. "Story of a Peach Pie," by Fairy Anderson and Charles Stew art. .. . ,. Quartette, ''Slumber Bong," by Airs. E.
