RivAr t k. well known colored undertaker, wn painfully shot in the thih in a most unusual way yesterday morning about o clock. Mr. James D. McClammv. a watch man across the river, had come over on nis way home and had stopped at me market house to make aoma tinr- chases. It was extrem&l-v hrt inrl Mr McCiammy had his coat on his arm. As he tuned in the market house ha hung the garment on a wa?on that was backed ud to the rurh- ing. In one of the Dockets was his pistol. He had been in the market hou-e but a few minutes when the coat fell off the vehicle and the fall against the curbing discharged the weapon, the ball taking effect in the thigh of the Rivera boy. The dis charge of the pistol and the woeful cries or the wounded lad almost cre ated a panic among the crowds of marketers there at that hour and it was with difficulty that the boy was taken into Hardin's drug store for attention. Dr. Charles T. Hamer probed for ther bullet, which entered the thigh from the inside of his leg-, but it was not located. He dressed the wound and had the boy sent to bis home at 410 North Seventh street. The wound is painful but not neces sarily dangerous. No blame is at tached to any one for the accident.

WARDED TO LEAVE THE CITY. Kate Sssitb'a Presence No Looser Wasted la Blake's Alley Protection Asked. Kate Smith, a colored woman who lives in Blake's alley, between Fourth, Fifth, Church and Castle streets, ap plied at the police station shortly after midnicht this morning for protection. She was accompanied by two female friends and exhibited an anonymous communication that had just been handed into her door which gave her notice t.i leave the city before 6 o'clock this evening or risk the consequences, which were set forth in bold black letters as "Death." The communica tion was in an envelope and was ad dressed simply "Kate." The woman was much frightened and asked to be allowed to sleep at the station all night, which request was granted. The woman said the letter was handed in the door by a white man. He was bald-headed and neatly dressed. No other description was given. The pol'ce are Investigating the circumstance.

Other Notes of Legal Doinss. Wash Brown, a young negro.was arraigned in the municipal court yes terday charged with an attempt at highway robbery. Sunday night Mr. W. R. Smith and wife, who live in Brooklyn," were returning from a country place which Mr. Smith has on the Castle Haynes road. When they were just in the outskirts of the city three negroes were sitting by the road and one of them jumped up and grabbed the bridle of the horse which Mr. Smith was driving. Mr. Smith jerked the animal to one side and was about to pounce upon the negro when the three ran. He gave chase and was joined by several others, but the highwaymen made good their escape Monday Policeman Wood arrested a negro boy named Lincoln Brown, who is bound to Mr. Chadwick, keeper of the County House. The boy implica ted his three brothers in the hold-up, but only "Wash" was captured. In the court yesterday Mr. Smith failed to identify the negro and he was re leased. It was found that the negro boy was half-witted and his testimony, therefore, could not be relied upon. Several of the crap shooters, cap tured Saturday and Sunday, were ar raigned in the Mayor's court yesterday, and the cases of two others were con tinued until to-morrow. Galloway Moore succeeded in establishing his innocence and was discharged. J. N. Bird was fined $10 and costs. Gealey James was sent to the county roads for 30 days and John Keal was dis charged. Ed. Smith, colored, was ar raigned for burglarizing the bouse of a colored woman in an alley between Third, Fourth, Church and Castle streets, but the warrant was amended to disorderly conduct and he was given 30 days on the roads. Geo. D. Roe, white, for drunkenness, was fined $10 and costs. Policeman C. G. Jones yesterday came across a queer character that was a "stunner" at Fifth and Brunswick streets a ponderous colored woman who could give no account of herself. She was walling her eyes and other wise acting la a strange, mysterious manner, and the officer could do no better than bring her down to the sta tion, as there was no "bug-house" institution in the neighborhood. At the station Policeman Jones' "white elephant" was recognized as "Big Annie," an escaped crazy inmate of the County Home. She will be re turned to tbat institution to-day. Deputy Sheriff J. J. Bowden, of Kenan8ville, arrived yesterday morn ing, bringing with him two convicts sentenced by Judge Bryan at last week's term of Duplin Superior Court to the New Hanover county chain gang.

SEPTEMBER CRUISER HORNET OFF FOR NORFOLK NAVY YARD. She Will Be Generally Overhauled by tbe Government jsnd May Not Come Back to This Station. The United 8tates auxilary cruiser Hornet, stationed at Wilmington by the government for the use of the North Carolina Naval Brigade, has been ordered to the Norfolk Navy Yard for a thoreughloverhauling, and the Norfolk tug Hercules rs expected to arrive last night to take the boat around. The repairs have long been needed as was abundantly evidenced by the cruiser's recent experience on the trip around to Charleston for North Carolina Week at the Exposi tion, and the order which came yester day from the commandant of the Nor folk Navy Yard has been expected for some time. The Hornet will be put in excellent condition by the government and she will come off the ways almost as good as new. Whether she will return to this station or not Is an open question. Men prominent in Naval Brigade af fairs in the 8tate favor exchanging the Hornet for a vessel of lighter draught that can be navigated in the sounds and rivers of North Carolina, but what disposition the government will make of the mat ter is not known. The South Caro lina naval militia are anxious to have the Hornet stationed at Charleston for their use and a petition was recently circulated to this end. A majority of the Wilmington Division, Naval Re serves, favor keeping the Hornet here and they will fight hard before giving her up. The Reserves on inland streams and on the sounds, however, favor a vessel of lighter draught. The Hornet in tow of the Hercules will probably leave for Norfolk to-day or to-morrow. She will be accom panied by the four ship keepers, regu larly kept aboard the boat by the gov ernment. They are Messrs. Mike Gib bon, Ernest Burrus, Joe Lane and John Co well. LOCAL DOTS.

August went out like the last of September but September came in very much like August. The humid ity in the atmosphere before the shower yesterday morning was something fierce. Superintendent W. B. Den ham, of the Atlantic Coast-Line, has returned to Savannah and given the people down there every assurance that the shops already at that point will not be removed to Wilmington. Florence Times 2nd: "P. S. Jeffer?, who is well known in Flo' rence, and who has held a position at the Florence transfer yard, left last night for Wilmington, where he goes to accept a more responsible position in the freight office at that place." D. S. KENNEDY FOR STATE SENATE. Duplin Will Present His Name at tbe Die trlct Convention His Record. Special Star Correspondence. Warsaw, N. C, Sept. 2. Politics in Duplin are getting interesting, and it is expected that a heavy vote will be polled at the primaries next Satur day. Who would be the legislative candidate has been quite unsettled, but as far as this section is concerned the people are united on Mr. D. S. Ken nedy for the Senate, and he will carry the solid strength of this township. It is believed that he will receive a larg vote throughout the county and will be nominated on the first ballot. He is a man of considerable ability, a graduate of the University and will carry with him the confidence of the people. He has always been a good Democrat, and will make a strong can vass in tbe coming campaign. There is no man in the county who would make a stronger fight for democracy and the party would make no mistake in nominating him. TEST CASE BY TAX COMMISSION. Held That Salaries of Pederal Officials Are Subject to Income Tax Sjpecial Star Telegram. Raleigh, N. 0., Sept. 2. The State Tax Commission this afternoon gave a hearing to Judge Purnell, of the Fed eral Court, and Postmaster T. O. Bailey on tbe question of the liability ot their salaries to an income tax, and ruled that they are liable. Injunc tion proceedings will be instituted by the defendants on the ground that the proceeding is in violation of the na tional constitution. The proceeding ia really a test case and in the event the State wins, in come tax will be assessed against all United States government employes whose salaries are in excess of $1,000.

Cotton Receipts at Wilmington One-Sixth Those of United States Yesterday. FOUR STEAMERS IN PORT. Torrorm Had an Experience With Mount Pelee Eruption Coal Strike Disas trous to Sailing Preishters River Traffic Hindered. The local receipts of cotton yester day were 2,181 bales the heaviest of the year. Last season the receipts on the same day were only 34 bales. The quotations were about the same 8 cents for middling. The receipts at all ports, of the United States yester day were only 13,581 bales; bo that it is seen that Wilmington furnished about one-sixth of the cotton for the entire country. The W., C. & A. road led in the receipts of yesterday with 1,915 bales. There are now three tramp steamers here for cargoes and others are expected this week. The Tuskar, which has beou t the Champion Compress forborne time, will be ready to sail, perhaps this week. The weather has been remark ably fine in the country for picking and the crop is biing gathered and sold unusually rapid. Capt. Halliday, of the British steamer Torgorm, just arrived for a cargo of gum logs for the Acme Tea Chest Co., relates an interesting inci dent of the Mount Pelee volcanic eruptioD. His vessel, bound to Wil mington from St. Vincent, on the morning of Aug. 21st passed close in to the island as the volcano bad just burst forth. The ship was covered with the dust from the burning mountain for some time. Capt. Halliday has on board his ship several receptacles containing some of the dust, swept up from the deck. It is a light substance, something in the nature of soapstone. Capt. Halliday also has on board several fragments of rock and other material emitted from the hideous crater. These were picked up on the island of Martinique. There are now four British tramp steamers in port, the Polano, Capt. O. H. Holttum, having arrived yesterday from Baltimore and taken a berth at the Champion Compress. Capt. Holttum is well remembered here for hi3 genial, courteous manner, and re -ceived a cordial welcome from many friends upon hia arrival yesterday. The steamer Rosewood is discharging a cargo of pyrites at Navassa and tbe Torgorm is receiving coal preparatory to loading gum logs for the Acme Tea Chest Co., at Paterson, Downing & Co.'s wharf, across the river. The schooner Flora Rogers, Capt. Bragg, cleared yesterday for New York with a cargo from the Cape Fear Lumber Company. The schooner Wm. F. Green, bound hence for Gren ada, with lumber, is still at Southport awaiting the arrival of Capt. Strattoa, who found it necessary to go to Nor folk for a cook. A West Indian voy age is not an inviting one, especially at this season of the year, consequent ly Capt Stratton could not find a man here willing to look after the culinary department of his ship for the trip. Saling masters in port are viewing with much alarm every feature of the great coal strike. It is said that ves sels worth fully two million dollars are tugging at anchor in the Philadel phia harbor because of the inability of the big companies to supply them with cargoes of coal. Every craft is chartered to load fuel for New Eng. land ports, some of the contracts dating back more than two months, but unless a small avalanche of coal shall be shot to tidewater the last of the vessels will probably need an ice boat to help her to sea. Fayettevile Observer, 2d : A boat's crew from the government steamer H. Q. Wright came up this morning from near Prospect Hall, where that boat is hard and fast on a shoal, for the purpose of getting provisions. Tuey made the trip up, soire twenty odd miles, in about five hours, and left on their return at noon. The Wright left her steam shovel at Sugar Loaf, hence her sad plight, as, with tbe aid of tbat machine, she could dig herself out " The Executive Committee of tho Chamber of Commerce met yesterday in the rooms of the Exchange on Water street, but transacted no busi ness of public importance. Those present were Messrs. J. H. Chad bourn, H. W. Malloy, B. P. McNalr and G, J. Boney. The absent members: Messrs. t J. A. Arringdale, I. M. Bear and L. B. Rogers, were out of the city. The low water in the Cape Fear river is still a serious hindrance to the steamboat traffic. The steamers Hurt, Highlander and Hawes, all bound for Fayetteville, are tied up at "Court House Falls," four miles above Elizabethtown, waiting for water upon which to proceed or re turn to Wilmington. Popular Young People to Wed. Friends have received handsomely engraved invitations which read aa follows: "Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dudley Morrill request your presence at the carriage of their daughter, Mamie, to Mr. William Struthers, Jr., on Wednesday evening September soveateenth, nineteen hundred and two at six o'clock, First Baptist church, Wilmington, North Carolina," Star 3, 1902 POPULAR BEACH VISITORS PLIGHTED THEIR TROTH. Mrs. Ella Whiting Shaw, Popnlar Young Lady of Mobilr, Wedded to Mr. Robinson, of New York A marriage with just the least tinge of romance was celebrated in Wil mington yesterday. The parties to the marriage vow were Mrs. Ella Whiting Shaw, daughter of General and Mrs. J. W. Whiting, of Mobile, Ala., and Sir. George Augustus Rob inson, son of Mrs. Fred A. Robinson, of Atlanta, Ga., and a popular travel ling man for a large dry goods house in New York. The bride with her mother and sis ter, Miss Jessie Whiting, has been spending the Summer at the Seashore Hotel, Wrightsville Beach, and were among the most popular and distin guished guests at that delightful resort. The groom reached here a few days ago from New York and joined the party at beach, he having often visited the family in Mobile. The date for the nuptial event had perhaps been ar ranged for a future time, but the young people decided it would be as well to consummate the engagement at once as later and so they came up to the city, sought out a pastor and the two were made man and wife in the pres ence of the family and a few friends. The groom was attended by Mr. D. P. Bester, Jr., of Mobile, as best man, and the maid of honor was Mrs. Shaw's sister, Miss Jessie Whiting. After the ceremony luncheon was served at The Orton and Mr. and Mrs Robinson left on the afternoon train for the South. Mr?. Whiting and Miss Whiting returned to the beach to spend the remainder of their sojourn. THB VSSOCiAfED CHARITIES. Report of the Treasurer for the Month of August, 1902.
