The British tramp steamer Sir Rich ard Orenville, 1,745 tonr, Capt. Jones, arrived yesterday from New York for a cargo of cotton from Messrs. Alexander Sprunt & Son. The urenville makes three steamers now in port for cotton, while the Torgorm is loading gum timber for veneering purposes for the Acme Tea Chest Co , Glasgow. The conditions having somewhat abated, the weather-bound fleet at Southport was able to pass out to sea Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. Be sides the tug Hercules and Hornet, those to pass out were the schooner Annie Ainslie. Capt. Norton, lumber aden to New York ; the British steamer Tuskar, Capt. Smith, with cotton for Bremen, and the schooner Venus, Capt Fox well, which put in at South port for harbor Friday, bound from Georgetown, 8. C, with lumber for New York. The recent cessation of river and harbor work by reason of the failure of Congress to provide an appropria tion for a continuance of the improve ment begins to tell upon the channel of the Cape Fear, now that the big tramp steamers are beginning to pass out with heavy cargoes for foreign export. While the condition is n no way alarming or in the least dangerous to the port's ship ping interests yet "straws show which way the wind blows, " according to an ancient proverb, and the grounding of a heavy draught steamer at two points down the river on Saturday demon strates that a cessation of work for any long period might result disas trously. But this soliloquy is now not apropos in view of the fact that an appropriation for the current fiscal year is already available and work on the channel will bein soon. The Incident of the steamer's grounding would not bs noteworthy but in this connection. As noted Sunday the TusJcar laden with cotton went slight ly aground Saturday morning nearly opposite Kidder's mill and later in the day, lh tide having fallen to its low est she again went slightly ashore at Reaves' Point, about half way be tween Wilmington and Southport. She remained there only a short time however, and proceeded without in jury, having gone to sea at 11 A. M. Sunday. The Clyde Liner Sagimavo, close in the wake of the TusJcar also dropped on the shoals, and .was de talned a little longer.

The Fire and Police Departments Had Lively Encounter With Drunken Desperado. CLUBBED INTO SUBMISSION. Used Profane Uagtiiie aad Attacked CItlxea Who Remonstrated With Him Wonads Took Him to the Memorlsl Hospital. To "clean up" an entire company of the Fire Department, several citizens and a corps of six or eight policemen that were rushed to the scene in post haste on the patrol wagon, was very nearly the accomplishment of a big black negro named Wm.Evanrt whom the. superior number finally arrested yesterday shortly after noon in front of the hose reel station at Fourth street bridge. Evans is a middle-aged negro, weighs about 350 pounds, and is noth ing short of a giant if the fight he put up against the dozen or more men who were after him yesterday is any criterion by which to judge of his strength. He keeps a cook shop in the Purcell alley, leading from Front to Second, between Market and Prin cess streets, and his capture was not effected until his scalp was several times laid open with a wagon spoke in the hands of one of the posse that was after him. Even then it required the combined strength of six officers to get him in the patrol wagon and once there, four of the six were required to hold him. Later he was sent to the hospital for care of the wounds received and until last night he was swearing vengeance against his captors. His injuries, while very serious, are not regarded as dangerous. The trouble with the negro started as car No. 31 of the street railway, in charge of Conductor E. U. McGowan, was making its "Brooklyn" trip. The big negro sat two seats from the rear and was drinking. He began to use profane language In the presence of two or three white ladies on the car and the conductor spoke to him about it. Asthecar neared Fourth street bridge he began cursing again and Mr. L. O. Smith, who was on the rear of the car, asked the conductor to make him stop it. Evans became enraged at this interference of an outsider and addressed an invitation with an oath to Mr. Smith to put him off. Mr. Smith accepted the challenge and dealt him a severe blow and still an other when the car came to a stop in front of the hose reel house. There the two piled off and "went at it," to use a trite expression. The big negro was dealing Mr. Smith blows which upset his equilirium and which he de scribed as very much like those from the "business end" of a mule, when the firemen at the hose reel station, who have police powers, rushed in to make an arrest. Although there are some good brawny men in Hose Reel Company No. 1, they went down like corn stalks be fore the big negro, until Foreman Louis Freimuth ran into the house and came forth with a wagon spoke, which went into action upon Evans' head, re sulting in a part of the wounds subse quently found. At last the firemen and others got the negro down and a telephone alarm was sent to headquar ters for the hurry-up wagon. That came with several policemen and a second struggle ensued width the over powered but not subdued giant He wss at length placed in the wagon and taken to the police station, where it required four men to hold him on the improvised operating table, at which Dr. O. T. Harper, the city superin tendent of health, dressed the In juries. Later, he was sent to the hospital. The wounds consist of two gashes, two and one-half inches long, on the back of the negro's head; another about the same length on his forehead and several minor bruises on the body. Mr. 8mitb, who had the original en counter with the negro, has a slight contusion on the face, and several of the firemen are wearing black eyes as the result of their experience. Ser geant Smith and Officers Huggins and Lewis escaped more fortunately, though some of them had torn gar ments. Taken all in all Evans is the most desperate negro with which the police have had to deal in many a day. Dr. Harper, who dressed the wounds of Evans, says while the lacerations are very severe on his head he doesn't think the bone is involved. The negro is so desperate that he is handcuffed to the bed at the hospital. Osseqnles of Mr. Simon Bear. Impressive funeral service over the remains of the late Mr. Blmon Bear, who died In Augusta, were conducted at 10:30 o'clock Sunday morning from the residence of Mr. Sol.

DIstnrbancea at Show Qronnds Iffveeti fated Four Convicts for County Roads Usnsl Drunks, Etc. It was a lively session of the police court that was held yesterday. The unlucky number of 13 offenders was smiled upon by the Mayor, who hap pened to be in remarkably good humor. Frank Davis, colored, answered to the first -call of Clerk Ward. The clerk explained that the defendant was held on two charges carrying brass knucks and cursing a hack driver at the show grounds Saturday night. Policeman Leon George made the arrest and testified to the disorder. When the evidence . was concluded Mayor Waddell said it appeared a waste of county money to hold the negro in jail until Nov. 6th and then have him sent to the roads, perhaps, for a short time. Judgment was sus pended in the case of carrying con cealed weapons and for disorderly conduct the prisoner was ent out to the road, for a vacation of 30 day?. Herbert McOlammy, Esq., counsel for the negro, said that solution of the matter was agreeable to his client Ed. Oonklin, white, was charged with being drunk and down. He was recognized when he sobered up from his first offence, but before the time came for trial he got drunk again and was brought back to the station house. The Mayor allowed him to pay the cost in both cases. Ed. Johnson, colored, for disorderly conduct at the show grounds, was fined $5 and costs. Elijah Williams and G. M. Mason, two young white boys, had a difficulty at ' Front and Wooster streets Sun day afternoon. Mason had Williams arrested for assaulting him wltha stick, but the evidence showed that the prosecutor was approaching the de fendant with a knife in his hand, and had been "talking about" him. These circumstances were adjudged sufficient provocation for the assault; so Wil liams went free and Mason was re quired to pay the cost The Mayor couldn't supress a smile when the name of Henderson Hayes, colored, was called. The charge wss drunk and down. Henderson had been before the court many times be fore, and sat complacently in the box. eyeing the spectators. The Mayor let him take a vacation of 30 days on the roads. Richard Grant colored, was down Saturday night on the Cape Fear steamboat wharf. He was allowed to pay the coat Willie Ciark was another of the dis orderly negroes at the show grounds, and when carted to the station house a razor was found on him. Judgment was suspended as to the "razzer," and defendant was fined $5 for disorderly conduct. Ex-Policeman Woebse spoke a good word for the negro. Johnston Carmichae), who boasted that he was a South Carolina "nigger" before his arrest, but who re spectfully submitted that Maxton, N. C, was his native heath yesterday morning in court, was arraigned for very ugly conduct toward Engineer Jno. A. Morris at the Iadependent Ice Works. He was also charged with an assault on Jack Joy- ner, a colored fireman at the factory. In each case Carmichael was sent to the roads for 30 days. J. H. Lewis and Alex. Harris. colored, were charged with disorderly conduct Saturday night Each tried to enter the plea that Policeman Leon George had made' a mistake and they were victims of unfortunate circum stance?, but the Mayor couldn't see it in that light and each was fined f 5 and costs. DIDN'T GO THR0UQH BRIDQE. The Blf Rosd Roller and Its Experience at the Bridie Saturday Afternoon. The county road roller, reported in these columns Sunday "ashore" at the intersection of Market street and Smith's creek, which is just below the National cemetery, was successfully "floated" Saturday night and was "anchored" alonsrside the bridge yes terday awaiting the repair of the foundations before proceeding across. The big roller did not drop in the bridge, as was at first supposed, but one wheel went through a piece of trestle worx just as the bridge Is ap proached. The machine will proceed over the new bridge to-day and will then begin a practical test of one week. If the trial is not satisfactory, the machinery will not be bought; if it is successful, the price will be glad ly paid. Miss Lord's Pall Dancing Classes. Miss Oammie Lord, Wilmington's leading dancing teacher, leaves to-day for Baltimore to be instructed by Prof. Jas. W. Bangert, president of the American National Association, Mas ters of Dancing, and will, when she returns, be prepared to teach the latest craze "the five step."

She will introduce new exercises and dances. Expert teachers and good music will be secured by Miss Lord for coming season and the opening night will clearly demonstrate to all the up-to-dateness of Wilmington's favorite teacher. Mrs. J. N. Brand and little son have returned from a visit to Sumter, 8,0. PYTHIAN CARNIVAL. Joint Committee from Three Lodges Reached Decision at Meeting Last Night. 0-0PERATI0N ONLY WANTED ayton Carnival Company Will Be Se cured to Furnish the Attractions. Will Also Be a Merchants' Pall Festival Notes of Event. If there is a sufficient manifestation of public spirit and interest in the en terprise by the merchants and busi ness men of Wilmington, a grand "Knights of Pythias Carnival and Merc .ants' Fall Festival" will be given here the middle or latter part of October. That was the decision reached last night after two hours deliberation by the joint Entertainment and Hall committees of Stonewall, Clarendon and Jefferson lodges, K. of P. The meeting was held in Pythian Castle Hall just after the regular session of Stonewall Lodge. Mr. S. EL Fish blate presided, Mr. L. B. Rogers act ed as secretary, and the following gentlemen were present: Messrs. H. E. Bonitz, J. D. Nutt, W. H. Yopp, J. F. Littleton, W. E. Perdew, J. D. Kelly, J. T. Gordon, H. D. 8 tan a land, W. P.jOIdham and J. L. Brimer. The deliberations of the meeting were marked by t e enthusiasm that is an earnest of success if the co-operation of tbefbusiness interests Is enlisted, and there can be no doubt of that. The question of holding the carnival has been under advisement for some time, but- not until last night did the movement become tangible. Last week, as noted in these columns, Mr. Bert Hoss, of the Lay ton Carnival Co , came here and had a preliminary con ference with several moving spirits in the Pythian kingdom. The result of his visit wss that a promise was se cured from him to return to the city Thursday night from Goldsboro, where he has gone to close up a contract there. The committee caeeting last night makes it possible for definite ac tion when Mr. Hoss arrives this week and the big Carnival may ba put down as a sure thing. However,- it behooves every Pythian to put his shoulder to the wheel and carry the plans of the committee straight ahead to a glorious consummation. It Is proposed to make of the event a "Week of Welcome" to all the surrounding country, as its name implies, and for that reason the business men should not be slow to take hold. Last year the carnival was an immense success, aitnougn com paratively few people from the coun try were attracted here, because of the rather stringent times and short crops. Tnis year conditions in tne country are totally different and with low rates on the railroads, which will be secured, a great outpouring of the people may be expected. Every city of consequence in theSouth has some form of trade Carnival in the Fall and Wil mington should be no exception. Dur ham now has a very successful street fair in progress and the people are car ried away with it. After discussing the general outlook last night the committee increased its numbers by the addition of the fol lowing well known Pythians: Capt T. D. Meares, Maj. W. F. Robertson, W. E. Perdew and J. J. Hopkins. The following sub-committees were also named: Transportation L.B. Rogers, (chair man), B. O. Stone and W. P. Oldham. Finance H. E. Bonitz, (chairman), W. E Perdew, J. J. Hopkins, I. M. Bear, 8. P. McNair and W. P. Old ham. The committee last night adjourned to have a meeting Thursday night with Mr. Hoss, representing the Carnival Co. In the meantime the questions of location, support from business men and transportation will be looked after by special sub-committees. The location will be where an enclosure is possible and on some up-town street, which will not affect the down-town trade district The carnival is expected to be fully up to the standard of last year's success ful attraction and much more satisfac tory in several ways. The Lay ton Carnival Company are organizers and builders of street fairs, paid admission shows and features covering every line of amusement for street, county and State fairs and jubi lee celebrations. The company gave a street fair in Norfolk the last of Au gust, and the papers of that city spoke in the highest terms of its excellence and morality. The local committee also has an endorsement covering these points from the Mayor of Nor folk. One of the free attractions with the company is the sublime spectacle of the eruption of Mount Pelee, "repro ducing with the most marvelous, beautiful, realistic and soul-stirring scenic, mechanical and fireworks ef fects ever witnessed." There are ten or a doten paid shows with a number of free attractions-, all new. With the right kind of encourage ment, the Pythians propose to give everybody a good time. Additional committees will be appointed from time to time as they are needed. Tom Dixon Monday-Night. The reserve seat sale for holders of tickets in the Star Course of entertain ments at the Y. M. O. A. will open Friday morning at DeRosset's. The first attraction is Rev. Tom Dixon, of New York, author of "The Leop ard's Spots," in his celebrated lecture "Backbone." He will be introduced by Rev. Dr. Calvin 8. Blackwell. Governor "Bob" Taylor will appear on the same platform in the near future. NEGRO RAZOR SLASHING IN BROOKLYN YESTERDAY, Colored Man Named Grainger Received Severe Cuts Near Seventh and Nixon Streets Sent to Hospital. A middle-aged negro named Grain ger was fearfully slashed with a razor in the handset another colored man yesterday in the vicinity of Seventh and Nixon streets. One of the gashes, about 6 inches long, is in the negro's back, and another not quite so long, but more severe, is In his breast. The latter cut is about three-fourths of an inch deep, but neither of the. wounds is regarded as at all dangerous. Grain ger also received slight cuts about the hand and shoulder. He says a razor was the weapon used. Immediately after the cutting, Grainer's assailant skipped out and has not been seen or heard of since, al though several policemen have dili gently searched for him. The wounded negro wandered about for awhile looking for a drug store, and was at length sent to the Hospital in the police patrol wagon, where he was doing very well last night The name of the negro who assaulted Grainger is known, but for police rea sons it is withheld for the present. 10 BE TRIED BY COURT MARTIAL. James Judge, Formerly of Wilmington, Charged With Deserting Army Post. Tired of camp life, disgusted with the requirements of a soldier In the United States army and craving the liberties of a free American citizen, James Judge, of Wilmington, recent ly enlisted and assigned to duty near Washington, D. C, is charged with having deserted that post and he passed through this city yesterday enroute to Fort Caswell in charge of Deputy Sheriff Howard, of Durham, N. C, who effected his capture in that city a few days ago. The prisoner was locked up in the guard hous i here Sunday night and yesterday Offi er Howard carried him down to the Fort on the steamer Wilmington and turned him over to military authorities. The deputy is allowed $30 for expenses outside of the regular reward of $30. Later Judge will be taken to Fort Monroe, Va., and tried by court mar tial for desertion.. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. Miss Alice Bardon is the guest of relatives in Goldsboro. Mr. E. C. Holt left yesterday to spend a while at Hot Springs, N. C. Miss Rena Mills left yesterday to enter Greensboro Female College.

Meares, Jr., Burke Bridgers, George Catlett, Dave Chadwick, Ed ward Brown, Milton and Robert Cal- der and Charles R. Yopp left yester day morning, returning to the Uni versity. Mr. A- D. Rogers, of Ben netlsville and Maxton, was a Stab visitor yesterday. He came in on the Karolina Sentral and left in a hurry by the same route. He had a message for the horse editor, who regrets that he was not in his stall when Mr. Rogers called. He is authorized, how ever, to keep the wires hot at our ex pense. Indispeussblllty of the "Black Maria." The experience of the police yester day with the negro desperado Evans at Fourth street bridge, and with the case of the negro who was slashed up by a razor further over the railroad, necessitating his being sent to the Hospital, only demonstrates the indis pensability of a police patrol wagon. What the police would have done without the wagon in the case of Evans, who required as many men as could get around his body to hold him, to say nothing of carrying him, is un known to those who witnessed the engagement, even at long range. Site for Qolf Links. By a deed filed for record yesterday J. O. Oarr, Esq., commissioner, trans ferred to Maj. E. W.
