Cotton Took Tumble tad Spirits Went Up River Shlpplig Tied Up One Salllor Vessel Only la Port. Cotton receipts yesterday were 4.724 bales. The local market was off an eihth and quiet Spirits turpentine continues to, soar in price. Yesterday there were sales of machine made casks on the Ex change at 47 cents. The receipts con tinue about as usual. . Messrs. Roger Moore's Sons & Co. had a force of workmen yesterday re moving the brick from under their collapsed shed on the wharf. Many of the brick went overboard, but most of them will be recovered. River shipping is still tied ud in the Cape Fear. The steamer Havoes has not moved a wheel in over a week here; the Highlander is At Elizabeth- town, bound to Wilmington, and the Hurt Is undergoing extensive reoairs at Fayetteville. 11 the delay is on account of the very low water in the Cape Fear. "I have been trading at this Dort off and on for twelve years," said CapL Sawyer, of the schooner Fred B. Ba lano, which is now receiving a cargo here, "and I never saw a time before when my vessel was the only sailing craft in port." It is a fact, but singu ar nevertheless, that it is as Cant. Sawyer says. The Balano is the only pebble on the beach r figuratively speaking. SHREWD NEQRO SWINDLERS. Borrowed Country Darkey's Horse sod Cart and Secured a Loan on It Charles McCullough and William Foy, both colored, were lodged in jail by Constable Sheenan yesterday, charged with false pretence. Some time ago they went to an at torney of the Wilmington bar and made application for a loan of some twelve or fifteen dollars. The attor ney told the negroes he was not In the money-lending business but if thay had good collateral he would not mind letting them have th amount at a nominal rate of interest. They said they had a mule and cart and would give a mortgage on the same for secu rity, if it was acceptable. Of course it was and the papers were drawn up and signed, but the attorney insisted on seeing the Droperty. The negroes were undaunted at this demand as the money was ao nearly in sight and they hastened off, borrowed a mule and cart from a country darkey, drove up, received the money and departed. Yesterday .the attorney who had been buncoed wanted to foreclose but found the negroes had never owned a mule and cart. He then had them tiled for false pretence and a prelimi nary examination will be given them in Justice Fowler's court at 4 o'clock this afternoon. tHNDSOne SIDEWALKS BEING LAID. Seveotb, Belweea Cbesint aid Waloot Streets, aid la Southera Section. There is no better sign of a city's progressiveness than the care bestow ed by a people upon their homes. Just now a number of jvery fine side walks are being laid by residents on several streets, and the indications are very bright for more of this kind of work during the Fall and Winter months. Mr. W. E. Perdew and others living on the west side of Seventh, between Chesnut and Wal nut streets, have the brick on the grounds for a very handsome side walk, which will extend about two thirds tne length of the block. Concrete paremeata also have, been put dowa recently oa Market street in front of Hoa. John D. Bellamy's resi dence, in front of Mr. George Roun tree's house and in other of the south ern sections of the city. 'Squire McEvass' Court. It is seldom that Eiquire W. McD. Evans enters the realm of magisterial jurisprudence, but when he gets into an exercise of his judicial functions as a Justice of the Peace, he usually lands somebody in jail. Yesterday Matilda Smith and Hattie Mitchell, colored resident? of Squire McEvans' domain across the railroad, had a fight, fast and furious. He issued warrants for their incarceration and to-day at 2 o'clock P. M., he will give them a trial in his office for assault aad battery. They were committed to jail without bail. LOCAL DOTS.

Elaborate Launching Ceremonies Observed Yesterday at Lit tle River, S. C. PARTY FROM WILMINGTON. Handsome New Steamer of Wilmington aad Little River Transportation Co Christened by Miss Nellie Cor bett Bi( Basket Picnic The ceremonies attendant upon the launching of the new steamer of the Wilmington and Little River Trans portation Company at Little River, S. C, yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock were evefy whit a success and the party of Wilmingtonians who went down on the steamer Compton for the event were delighted with the occa sion. Amoqg those in the party were Mr. M. J. Corbet! Misses Nellie and Nora Corbett, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Ssndere, Mr. R. R. Stone, Mrs. Outhbert Mar tin, Miss Bessie Gore, Mrs. E.C. Davis, little Miss Edith Pritchard, Mr. and Mrs. John R. Hanby, C D. Foard, Will Gore, J. H. and E. L. Hlnton, W. P. and J. W. Monroe, J. S. Canady, John Harris, E. O. Hines, E. W. Man ning and J. F. Ruark. The party left the city at 4:10 o'clock yesterday morning and returned at 11:50 o'clock last night, some of them a trifle seasick, but all enthusiastic over the hospitality of Capt. W. A. Sander?, mastA of the Compton, for whom the new steamer is named. Miss Nellie Corbett, the attractive young daughter of President M. J. Corbett, of the company owning the the vessel, christened the steamer by breaking a bottle of sparkling cham pagne over her bow and exclaiming as the trim little craft darted into the water: "I Christen Thee, Sanders!" 8he was attended at the launching as maid of honor by Miss Bessie Gore and simultaneously with the breaking of the champagne bottle the Union Jack was unfurled by Master Will Gore, the flag "Sanders" by CapL Edgar Hlnton and the Stars and Stripes by Mr. Ed. Wilson Manning. The colors floated proudly from the prow, cabin and stern of the new boat. Following the launching ceremonies was a big basket pic-nic in an oak grove upon an elevation overlooking the harbor. People for miles around were present and the day was one that will long be remembered at LUtle River. The new boat will be towed to Wil mington next week and her machinery installed. A description of her has been previously published and it is enough to say that the Sanders will be one of the smartest of the freight and passenger boats in these waters.

The Merry Companion Social Club held its first annual meeting last night and elected officers as follows: President Wm. Tiencken. Vice President P. Spooner. Secretary Dan Branch. Treasurer Geo. Tiencken. The grand annual opening ball of the club will be given in Germania Hall on Thanksgiving evening. Brunswick "Independents?" Seeking to interest an alleged dis satisfied element in the Democracy of Brunswick county, it is said that the Republicans and Populists over there will attempt to give a color of inde- pendentism to their county convention which has been called for next month. When the time comes, however, re. marked a well informed man yester day, it will be seen that it is the same old crowd of Republicans, no matter under what guise they may attempt to bring themselves out for office. Cir culars intended to give a shade of in" dependentisii to the con yention are already being distributed. IUtsry Inspection Last Nljht. The Wilmington Light Infantry last night passed a most creditable an nual inspection by Col. T. H. Bain, of Goldsboro, Inspector General of the North Carolina State Guard. There were 53 men in rank, and the infan trymen were found in most excellent shape. Col. Bain is reported as hav ing said that the W. L.

SAMUEL ROLAND VICK DIED AT WYTHEVILLE. Prominent Young Wilmlngtonian Passed Away After Illness of Three Months Remains Arrive This Evening. The sad news of the death of Mr, 6amuel Roland Vick, a highly esteem cd young man of Wilmington, reach ed the city yesterday from Wythe- ville, Va , at which paint he had b en in a sanitarium since convalescing from a severe attack of typhoid fever contracted at Portsmouth, Va., about i area montns ago. it was wniie re covering from this fever that a more fatal disease attacked his constitution, and although everything known to medical science was employed to save his life he passed away at 11:30 o'clock Wednesday night. His brother. Mr. Alfred Waddell Vicr, was with him when he died, acd will accompany the remains to Wilmington, reaching here at 6 o'clock this evening. The funeral an nouncement will be made later. The remains will be taken upon their ar rival to the residence of Mr. W. W. Hodger, Second, between Chesnut and Grace street?. It was thought at first tiat tha remains would arrive this morning, but a train connection was missed at Petersburg, Va., causing a delay. Deceased was about 27 years of age and was a sou of the late Mr. Samuel W. Vick. He was born in Wilming ton and lived here all his life until a little less than a year ago, when he went to Texas, to take an important railway .position. He so3n tired of tha West, however, and came to Ports mouth where he took a clerical position in the generaPbfflces of the Seaboard Air Line. It was there he was taken with fever which later developed into consumption and caused his death. Mr. Vick was a popular young man here and the news of his death cast a sad gloom over the community yester day. For many years he was private secretary to Mr. James F. Post, secre tary and treasurer of the Atlantic Coast Line, and it was only with the greatest reluctance that Mr. Post gave him up to permit his going West. Deceased is survived besides Mr. Alf. Vick by another brother, Mr. W. W. Vick, of New York, and two sisters, one of whom, Miss Mary Vick, is spending some time in Asheville for her health . Mr. Vick was a member of Wilming ton Lodge of Odd Fellows and had served both in the Wilmington Light Infantry and the old volunteer Fire Department. BLACK PATH'S TROUBADOURS. Sale of Seats Begins This Morning at Plommer's Flattering Press Notice The sale of seats for the Black Patti Troubadours begins this morning at 7 o'clock aud there- is every indication of a rush. The Troubadours are here, as has been announced, next Monday, matinee and night. Of their perfor mance in Durham last week, the Herald of that city says : A better pleased audience never assembled at the Opera House that the one that greeted Black Patti last night. It was nor as large as some audiences, but there was a large crowd present. The gallery was re served for colored people and it was filled with the best people of that race. Down stairs the house was about two thirds filled. The presentation was a musical comedy, entitled "Darktown's Circus Day," and it was well rendered. The company is a strong one in every feauture. In addition to Black Patti, who is recognized as the best colored singer on the stage to-day tnere are a number or very nee voices, ootn male and female. The quartette seem ed to be the catch of the evening, with the exception of Black Patti, and they had to respond to a number of en cores. The cake walks, the slack wire equillbust, camp scene and the "Ala bama Blossom," were all very fine and elicited much applause. Taken as a whole the show is one of the best that has visited Durham in a long time. Stabbed A Woman. Justice Bornemann had a -bad nesrro to deal with yesterday. His name is Louis 8mith and he was before the Justice's court charged with slapping his wife, Eddie Smith. Justice Bor nemann, always on the side of peace between man and wife, let the negro off upon payment of costs but he had no sooner returned home from the trial than he aain set upon the wo man and stabbed her with a knife over the eye. The woman fled from the house to Justice Bornemann, who immediately set out and re-captured Smith. He was placed in jail last night in default of $100 justified bond, to appear in Justice Bornemann's court this morning at 9 o'clock to an swer the charge of assault with Intent to kill. Fine Horse Killed. Messrs. Orrell & Carroll, the livery- fmen, lost a fine horse valued at $150 yesterday afternooD. The animal had just been shod at Quinlivan's, a short distance from the stable, and was being ridden back by a small colored boy. Juat in front of the stables the horse slipped and fell, breaking a leg on a curbstone which extended above the sidewalk and necessitating his being shot. Policeman D. A. Rowan was the executioner. The animal was one of a pair of match coach horses formerly belonging to the late Col. Ed. 8. Latimer. Parents Sorely Bereaved. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Bryan, Eighth and Queen streets, have the sympathy of many friends in the death of their 10-months-old son, William, which occurred yesterday morning. The funeral will be held from the family residence at 10 A. M. to-day. THE JOINT DEBATE. Mr. Craig and Senator Pritchard Greeted by an Immense Crowd Last Night. IN THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC. Meeting Somewhat Tamer Than Previous Discasslons, Bat a Triumph for the Oallant Young Democrat of the West-Will Leave To-day. Certainly there was no evidence of a "frost" in the magnificent reception to Hon. Locke Craig last night in the Academy of Music upon the occasion of his joint debate here with Senator Pritchard, although the "icy mit" per formance upon the part of Demosratic mends of the other candidates was advertised as a sure thing at Wil mington. It was raining at the hour appointed for the gathering and the weather was very threatening, but fully a thousand people were present when the curtain went up for the fourth Senatorial round between these two Western gladiators who were billed to du or to die. Nine-tenths of the audience was composed of the militant Democracy of New Hanover; not exceeding half a dozen were "independents" (with impunity tne wora may now oe com menced without the capital letter), and me remaining small traction was made up of the "old liners," "straight- outs," "moss backs," or whatever you choose to term them. In the galleries wa3 a sprinkling of the brother in black, but these are no longer reckon ed in New Hanover in making politi cal equations, unless there is a return to the "halcyon days of Republican ism," so glowingly pictured by Sena tor Pritchard in his speech which fol lowed. The ladies were there in small num bers, of course, on account of the weather; they are included in the ranks of -Democracy and were the subject of a very complimentary refer ence by Mr. Craig in the closing sen tences of his brilliant effort. "God bless them," as an old veteran Demo crat exclaimed when he saw iheir graceful forms filing in the parquet, they are always there when the in terest of Democracy is at heart." It was a noble array of people who were present and it was splendid at tention that they gave the speakers. Again it was a time of triumph for Democracy. Locke Craig was in splendid form, his eloquence and ar gument; his humor and pathos; his invective and exposure of Republican evils in the State swept the people with him and during his great speech there were wild bursts of applause. His arguments again trusts was superb and he fixed upon the Republi can parly the fostering of the monster and there was applause, but when he touched the dark record of Republican misrule in North Carolina and laid bare this hideous sore there was ap plause that almost shook the very building. His line was that as heretofore at the Senatorial meetings, but it was in more magnificent shape than before. He anticipated Pritchard's reply and left no ground for him. When he re ferred to the terrible condition of Wil mington prior to '98 and the city's de liverance from those conditions, he was applauded again and again. Mr. Craig was introduced in elo quent terms by J. O. Carr, Esq., of the firm of Rountree & Carr. His speech was neat and highly complimentary to the distinguished Democratic son of the East, who now claims an adopted home in the West. Mr. Craig spoke an hour and fifteen minutes and was followed by Senator Pritchard, who was presented in brief but yery graceful manner by Assistant Postmaster Thos. E. Wallace, chair man of the Republican County Execu tive Committee. Mr. Pritchard was received with some applause and this grew into a storm, when in his opening remarks he referred in most complimentary terms to Mr. Craig. The Senator did his bast, but it was as a puny effort after Craig's magnifi cent outburst of facts and oratory. It was a Democratic night for Wilming ton, and it was so because the gallant Craig overwhelmed the apostle of Re publicanism. Senator Pritchard confined his speech almost exclusively to national issues and taunted Mr. Craig mildly about introducing the negro subject one upon which the Senator, by the way, is evidently very sore. His opening remarks were in the nature of an at tack upon the Democratic national ad ministration under Cleveland, with a jibe at the Wilson-Gorman bill, the provisions of which he replied locally to the lumber and rice industry in this section. Not once did he apply to Mr. Craig's repeated question as to whether or not he would stand by the North Carolina constitutional amendment by which the negro was eliminated from State politics and under which the Senator claims the black man's burden should not ba taken up. Mr. Pritchard made a feeble effort to defend the terrible onslaughts made by Craig against the State Republican administration, but the flimsiness of his argument was torn to tatters in Craig's fifteen minutes rejoinder. Correspondents who have been travelling with the candidates since the Senatorial canvass begun, say the Wilmington meeting was rather more tame tha its three predecessors; that Mr. Pritchard was not ao rabid as at Kinston, Smithfield and Fayetteville, and naturally Mr. Craig's "dander" wan not raised to the extent it had been at other place. . On the platform last night were Chairman Geo. L. Pescbau, of the County Democratic Committee, who presided; Mr. C. C. Covingtop, Sheriff Frank H. Stedman; Col. Geo. L. MortoD, Maj. W. H. Bernard, George Rountree, Esq., Mr. J. C. Stevenson, J. O. Carr, Esq , acd Mr. M. S. Wil lard; on the Republican side, Assistant Postmaster T. E. Wallace, who is also chairman of the Republican County Executive Committee; Postmaster Robert W. Davis, of Southport; Mr.R. M. Croom, of Burgaw; Collector of Customs B. F. Keith, Messrs. J. A. Arringdale, D. L. Gore, J. A. Springer, R. M. Wescolt, J. W. Brooks and O. H. White, of Wilmington. The speakers will leave this morn ing for Rocky Mount, where they will speak to-night and on the following day they go to Raleigh. Mr. Craig was received by hundreds of his friends with the utmost cor diality on the streets yesterday and last night after the speaking he was given something very much akin to an ovation. Mr. Pritchard received a number of his friends and representative business men in the parlors of The Orton be tween 6 and 7 o'clock yesterday even ing. During the day he was taken by a party of his friends to Southport. RECORD OP THE C0URIS YESTERDAY. Negro Boys and a Razor Befor etbe Mayor. Two Sentences to the Roads. Two youthful colored razor artists came under the sheltering wing of the 1 police yesterday. Frank Cooper, 9 years old, was the aggressor. He had trouble with another boy about the same age, at Sixth and Brunswick streets, and slashed him across the left shoulder, a gash about an inch long. The boy with the "razzer" was dismiss ed by Muyor Wsddell upon condition that his mother administer a sound thrashing, which she did to the queen's taste. About the only other case in the police court yesterday was Virgil Burns, whom Sergeant Ward arrested at Eighth and Red Cross streets. charged with being drunk and mak ing the neighborhood hideous with his disorder. He was given a vaca tion of 30 days on the roads, and Su perintendent Shearin took him out to the stockade in the afternoon. Another commitment to the roads yesterday was Sarah McMillan, color ed, charged in Justice Fowler's court with forcible trespass. She went up for 30 days. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. Mrs. W. J.

Brunswick Farmers Watching Wllmlnr- ton's Movement for a Warehonse. Southport Standard. Messrs. Drew, Souther land & Co., who planted tobacco this year, have made sales and the price is satisfac tory. They sold one grade of their tobacco at 16 cents per pound and their crop of long wrappers for 27 cents, which is considered a good price. Mr. Drew tells us that the soil in Brunswick is adapted to the growth of tobacco. It is considered by experts that a fine grade of wrappers can be grown here, and they bring fancy prices. The enterprising firm named above gives the Brunswick county farmers an object' lesson as to the possibilities of our soil, which rests with them to develop. The agitation of the question of building a tobacco warehouse in Wil mington is watched with interest. Mr. Drew advances the idea of a warehouse at Southport.
