COTTON BY STEAMER
FROM GEORGETOWN, S. C.
Plantef Arriwed Yesterdiy With Can for
spruit & SonReceipts Continue
Hery News oa the Wharf.
Cotton receipt Yesterday were S.792
bales against 1,034 .on the same day
last year. The rush of the fleecy
taple to market has had a bad effect
on the receipts of naval stores. The
transportation lines have about all
they can do to handle the cotton and
are paying as little attention ai noaai-
ble by necessity to the movement of
spirits, rosin, tar and crude. The re
ceipts of all of these were very light
yesterday. Not a single barrel of
rosin was brought in, which is some
thing extraordinary.
Tramp steamers are piling up at the
compresses here for cargoes and
Messrs. Sprunt & Bon find themselves
with plenty to do to get the cotton
here. The steamer Planter. Cant.
Bennett, arrived yesterday from
Georgetown. 8. n with a
478 bales and it was being discharged
last night at the compresses. She will
return to Georgetown to-day.
The British steamer Ha&linaden,
1,820 tons, CapL Willis, from Ber
muda, arrived vesterdaT la Messrs.
Sprunt & Son for a cotton cargo. The
HasMingden is the smallest of the six
steamers now in port for cotton, but
she is staunch and has a good carrying
capacity for her size.
IN THE POLICE COURT.
Steamer Master Appeared ia Behalf of
His Ssilora-Speclsl Officer Dropped
from Force Cases Heard.
At the request of CapL Reeder,
master of the British steamer Vaux
haM Bridge, now in port for a cargo
of cotton, Mayor Waddell, in the mu
nicipal court yesterday, investigated
charges that Policemen Howard and
McClammy had been unmerciful in
clubbing one of his sailors last Friday
upon the occasion of the sailor's arrest
on Nutt street. The officers were ex
onerated of any blame in the matter
and were discharged. The sailors were
Mohammedans and neither of them
could speak English. An interpreter
from aboard the ship was necessary
at the trial. The costs previously
paid in the case by the sailor, were re
turned, however, as he was shown to
have been only a peacemaker in the
disturbance out of which the arrests
grew.
Wm. Godwin, a special officer on
the force, who was sworn in some tiatfb
ago, was relieved of his badge by the
Mayor yesterday as the result of an in
vestigation in the police court of
charges against Mr. Henry Woebse
for being asleep in a cart in front of
is store Saturday night. The special
officer arrested him and brought him
to the station house over Mr. Woebse's
protest.
Jim Crawford, colored, was sent to
jail also in the police court yesterday,
for drawing a pistol on another negro
at Seventh and Church streets Monday
night. Two colored women were let
off with the costs incases against them
for disorderly conduct.

NEWS POLITICALLY.
The Coming of Craig and Pritch
ard To-morrow Night Hailed
With Pleasure.
CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES.
They All Came Up from Sonthport Yes
terday Mr. Patterson's" Appobt
meats An Incident With the
Negro Monday Mfht.
With the passing of the New Han
over independent movement, of which
one hears very little nowadays, and
the' passing into history of the Con
gressional discussion and the Senato
rial convention the same day at
Southport, political interest locally
just now Is centered in tne joint de
bate to-morrow night in the Academy
of Music between Senator Jeter O.
Pritchard, of Madison county, and
Hon. Locke Craig, of Buncombe .
The opening day of the joint canvass
by these gentlemen at Einston Mon
day is reported to have been as lively
as could be expected under the cir
cumstances with prospects of very
much livelier times ahead. Yesterday
the candidates spoke in the morning
to a large crowd at 8mith field and in
the afternoon they went over to Fay-
etteville where they will speak this
morning at 11 o'clock, probably arriv
ing here at 7:30 o'clock to-night.
From Wilmington they go to Rocky
Mount and Raleigh.
Mr. Craig will be introduced by J.O.
Carr, Esq., and will open the debate
here.! According to the compact entered
Into by the speakers the first will have
an hour and fifteen minutes, the second
will have an hour and twenty minutes,
then the first speaker will have a re
joinder of fifteen minutes.
Tbe report from Greensboro that
friends of the other Democratic candi
dates for the Senate in Wilmington
would stay away from the speaking as
a kind of rebuke to Mr. Craig for ac
cepting Pritchard's challenge to a
joint discussion, found no foundation
in fact on the streets yesterday and all
agreed that the speakers would haye a
rousing welcome here.
The Raleigh News and Observer
of yesterday says:
Mr. Geo. Rountree, of Wilming
ton, who is in the city, speaking
yesterday of the report sent out from
Greensboro that Mr. Locke Craig
would get the cold shoulder in Wil
mington in the debate to be had there
on Thursday with Senator Pritchard,
said that there was not a word of truth
in it, and there will be a great attend
ance to bear Mr. Craig.
'There was some feeling at first,"
said Mr. Rountree, "that this appear
ance of Senator Pritchard would tend
to crystalize an independent move
ment,' but this is exactly what is to
be desired, for it will be seen at once
that it is tbe same old crowd of Radi
cals that always fight the Democrats.
No, Mr. Locke Craig will be welcom
ed in Wilmington, and not given a
cold shoulder or a freeze-out."
About tbe Congressional Campaign.
The Congressional candidates who
pulled off the joint debate at South-
port Monday night came up on the
steamer Wilmington yesterday. All
were apparently pleased with the turn
of affairs in Brunswick. Col. Slocumb
left last evening, via Wilson, for bis
home at Fayetteville and Mr. Mc-
Kethan will leave for his home in the
same city this morning. Mr. Patter
son remained in the city, and is shak
ing hands with his New Hanover con
stituents. He will return to his home
at Maxton to-day.
Mr. Patterson was asked yesterday
if there were any arrangements
for other joint debates between the
Congressional candidates. He said he
knew of none, but that he would
speak individually at Tar Heel.Bladen
county, on Friday night, and at White
Oak, Bladen county, on Saturday
night. Other appointments will be
made later, including Wilmington.
Persons who came up on the boat
yesterday told of an ugly incident of
the speaking Monday night. The col
ored brethren, emboldened perhaps by
the appearance of a few Republicans,
were present to the number of about
25 or 30, and one of the contingent,
made even more brazen by a cheap
grade of liquor, interrupted Mr. Pat
tersons speech by shouts of "That
ain' ," etc. Mr. Patterson paused a
mo'-jsnt; some one yelled "Put him
out," and that was enough, for Mr.
Nigger had departed simultaneously
with the rising of several gentlemen
nearer the front of the hall .
TRANSFERS OF REAL ESTATE.

WILMINGTON, N. C, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER
SPLENDID OPENING AT
PARIS MILLINERY STORE.
Popular New Emporium Crowded With
Ladies Yesterday In Search for
Fashion's Fancies.
The Fall and Winter millinery sea
son in Wilmington had a most auspi
cious opening yesterday and last even
ing at the handsome new Paris Milli
nery Emporium, No. 121 Market street,
which was thronged with ladies from
the time the store opened at 10 o'clock
in the morning until it closed near 11
o'clock last night.
Mr. M. Braddy, the proprietor of the
store, who has just returned after sev
eral yeass in New York, was given an
enthusiastic welcome by his former
lady friends and customers, and
Madame Connelly, the gifted New
York head milliner, was the recipient
of very many compliments upon her
excellent display of hats and other
millinery offerings. There were hun
dreds of designs in fashionable head
gear in variety and beauty enough to
satisfy the most exacting. For a no
vice to essay a description would be to
do an injustice to all that is fashiona
ble and up-to-date.
Orders amounting to about $600
were taken during the day and many
visitors made selections for which they
will call and give an order later. Mr.
Braddy informed a representative of
this paper last night that within 15
minutes after his doors were opened
yesterday morning he counted 300
ladies and children in the place and
very nearly that number continued to
come and go while the opening was in
progress. The store was handsomely
decorated for the event and last night
tho shelves and counters were a per
fect flood of light, which combined
with so much that was new and bright
ia the millinery art to make a scene
lovely indeed.
Music is being furnished during the
opening days, which will continue
until 11 o'clock to-night, by a special
orchestra and ice cream and lemonade
are being served free of cost to all
visitors. Madame Connelly has five
expert trimmers and salesladies to
assist her in the millinery department
and in all there are eleven young lady
lady clerks. The number is sufficient
guarantee that every lady will receive
due attention when she visits the
store. Mr. Braddy and Madame Con
nelly extend a cordial invitation to
the public and the ladies especially to
visit the store to-day or this evening.
DEATH OF MRS. 0. S. ELLIS.
She Was the Wife of a Former Well
Known WHmlnrtonian-Tne Funeral.
Friends in this city have heard with
sincere sorrow of the death of Mr?. C.
S. Ellis, of Savannah, Ga., which oc
curred last Tuesday night ia New
York, whither she had gone in com
pany with her husbaud, Capt. C. S.
Ellis, several months before for treat
ment The remaining members of the
family, all of whom are well known
in Wilmington, were spending the
Summer at Isle of Hope.
Mrs. Ellis is survived besides her
husband by five children, the eldest of
whom are Miss Kate Ellis and Mr.
Charles Ellis, and one sister, Mrs.
Frank L. George. She was a devout
member of the First Baptist church
and a directress in the Savannah Fe
male Orphan Asylum and In the Port
Society. Every movement for the
betterment of mankind found in Mrs.
Ellis a true friend, and she was besides
a lady of charming personality.
The remains were carried to Savan
nah last Friday morning and the
funeral was conducted the same day
from the late residence at 121 Gwin
nett street, east.
Capt. Ellis, the bereaved husband,
once lived here and now owns a valu
able place on WrightavilleSound, where
his family have several times spent
the Summer. The death of Mrs. Ellis
caused much sorrow among many
friends in Wilmington.
TOBACCO BOOTH FOR THE FAIR.
Pythian Carnival Promoter Thinks It a
Good Thlnr and Makes a Suggestion.
"While all this tobacco warehouse
agitation is goiig on," remarked a
Pythian Carnival enthusiast yester
day, "why don't you suggest in the
paper that the Merchants' Association,
Chamber of Commerce and the Na
vassa Guano Co. join in maintaining
a tobacco booth here during our Fair?
It would be a drawing card. Stock it
with bright yellow leaf, the kind that
could be grown and sold here and get
an expert tobacconist to take charge
of it and explain to the farmers how
the weed may be grown. Then let
the Navassa people tell them in at
tractive advertising matter and by
word of mouth what kind of fertilizers
are needed.
"It is a great scheme," spoke the
aforesaid enthusiast. "I have talked
with Mr. Malloy, the president of the
Navassa company and first vice presi
dent of the Chamber of Commerce,
and he's right in for it. All it needs
is for the movement to take Borne sort
of shape."
The suggestion appears to ba a good
one and one that will no doubt be
duly investigated.
Brunswick Superior Court.
No Important cases bad been reached
in Brunswick Superior Court yester
day. To-day the murder trial of the
negro charged with burning a woman
to death at Navassa several months
ago will be commenced, jdeasrs. Her

of this city, appear as counsel for the
negro and will make a strong pies ror

imbued with the-educational spirit.

THE PYTHIAN MUSICALS
A DELIGHTFUL SUCCESS.
Programme of Merit and an Entertain
ment of High Order Audience Not
Large But Appreciative,
Every promise as to the excellence
of the entertainment was made good
last night in the "Pythian Musicale"
at the Academy of Music which really
deserved a much larger patronage
than it received. However, the audi
ence was very enthusiastic and nearly
all the numbers on the splendid pro
gramme were warmly encored.
Hollow bush's Orchestra, which sup
plemented the printed programme,
was never better, and contributed
largely to the success of the event.
