The Stab was in error yester

BIO MONEY IN CROSS TIES.
At Lcsst That's Opinion of Crszy Negro
Who Was Taken Into Custody By
the Police Yesterdsy.-
There's one man at least who be
neves there's millions in the cross-lie
business; in fact, he's so deeply im
pressed with his conviction along that
line, that the belief ha3 set him crazy.
He struck the town yesterday and
wanted to buy up the earth upon the
hopes of a realization of his plans to
embark in the business that has so fas
cinated him.
He gives his name as T. W. Hoopsr
and is as black as a negro generally
gets to be; says he's from Governor
Russell's plantation in Brunswick
county, and has been engaged in get
ting out cross-ties for others, but is
now going into business for .himself.
He first came to public notice in
Springer's hardware store yesterday
afternoon, where he had made pur
chases of some $40 or $50 worth of
cutlery, tools, etc., and said he
would go out and return with the
money. He next went into Honnet's
jewelry store and wanted to purchase
seven gold watches, one each for him
self, wife and five children. He was
turned down on that order and re
turned to Springer's, where he insist
ed that he had bought 300 head of
mules from Mills, the liveryman, and
was going into (he cross-tie business
upon his own account He said that
he ha i already arranged to buy all the
chickens and eggs that would come
across the ferry that day and wanted a
few cases of whiskey and some fine
cigars to "blow himself" upon. Mr.
Springer saw tbe negro was crazy and
Foreman B. R. Russell, of the Fire
Department, who is a special officer,
was called in to arrest him, which he
did.
Hooper is locked up at the police
station awaiting an investigation by a
commission of lunacy. When asked
by a reporter as to his home, he said
his door was numbered under the sill
and you could tell where he lired by
the col lard leaves around his door
steps.
LOCAL MARKETS AND SHIPPINQ.
A Oeorietown Steamer With Cotton
Bsraoe and Schooner for New York.
Spirit turpentine was steady on the
local market yesterday at 50 J cents;
receipts 115 casks.
The rirer steamers Hurt, Hawes,
Franklin Pierce and Johnson were in
port yesterday and brought large car
goes of cotton and naval stores.
The steamer Planter arrived Tues
day night with a cargo of 429 bales of
cotton from Georgetown, S. 0., for
Messrs. Sprunt & Son. She got into
the harbor just in time to escape the
storm that must have been raging on
the outside a few hours after her ar
rival.
The barque E. S. Powell cleared
yesterday with a large cargo of cross
tier, consigned by Messrs. Flynn &
Co. to parties in New York. The
schooner C. C. Lane, Captain Kelly,
also cleared yesterday. She carried a
cargo of 300,000 feet of lumber, con
signed by tbe Cape Fear Co.
Tbe steamer Planter, which arrived
Tuesday night from Georgetown, S.C.,
as noted above, will go on the ways at
Skinner's shipyard In this city for a
general overhauling. Mr. Mark Moses,
of Georgetown, was here a few days
ago and made arrangements to have
the steamer hauled oat. That a Wil
mington firm should get this work
from Charleston, to which port the
steamer regularly plies, is a decided
compliment The pilot bolWinyah, of
Georgetown, will also be on the ways
here in a few days, for general repairs;
LIEUT. ANDREW t. HARRISON. '
Former Rerenne Catfer Officer, Well
Known Here, Died la Connecticut.
The Bristol (Conn.) Press, of No
vember 20tb, contains an extended
notice of the death, near thrt city, on
Ssturday, November 15tb, of Lieut

and favorably known in this city,
where be was for a number of years
chief engineer on the United States
revenue cutter Colfax, which was
stationed at this port Lieutenant
Harrison was retired in 1894 at the
age of 65 years, with the rank of lieu
tenant in the United States Navy.
He was a man of wide experience,
kind and courteous in his manner,
and has friends in Wilmington by the
score, who will regret very much to
bear of his death. During his life he
was several times commended by his
superiors for bravery and efficient
service, and was a prime favorite on
the Colfax as long as she was sta
tioned here.

B. F. Sims, a white Federal Court
attendant, got into the "wrong pew,"
figuratively speaking, yesterday about
noon. He had been drinking to a
pretty heavy extent and wandered
aimlessly into the house of Mr. J. W.
Cooper, who lives in the vicinity of
Fifth and Campbell streets. Mr.
Cooper was at home at the time and
demanded to know of Sims what he
wanted in the house. The intruder
replied that it was "none of his d d
business whereupon Mr. Cooper
whacked him over the head with a
chair and put him in the hands of an
officer on the street Then he was trans
ferred to the police station and will
tell the mayor bis troubles In the po
lice court to-day. , ,

NO THANKSGIVING.
Superior Court Will Not Observe
Holiday Owing to Very
Heavy Docket.
TWO- IMPORTANT SESSIONS.
Yesterday's Proceedings Were Interest
ing T. H. Robbins Not Qnllty of
Embezzlement Ed French
Sent to the Penitentlsry.
The New Hanover Superior Court
will not observe Thanksgiving to-day
although only a morning session may
be held. This is because of the fact
that the docket is very crowded and
the term is for only one week. A re
cess was taken at 5 o'clock yesterday
afternoon until 9:30 o'clock this morn
ing, when thex trial of cases will be
resumed.
Two rather important sessions of tbe
court morning and afternoon were
held yesterday. In the forenoon about
a dozen colored defendants were given
vacations of 30 days each on the road
for gambling, and in the afternoon
one of the capital cases was dis
posed of.
Another case of some interest in the
afternoon was that of Thos. H. Rob
bins, a young white man of Wilming
ton who was charged by Capt. Preston
Gumming with embezzlement in con
nection with a patent churn for which
the young man was Capt. Gumming'
agent Mr. Robbins was represented
by Messrs. Stevens, Beasley & Weeks
and was found not guilty by instruc
tion of the court -Only one witness,
Capt. Cumming, was introduced. A.
J. Marshall, Esq., assisted in the pros
ecution. The capital case was that of Ed.
French, colored, who was placed on
trial for the murder of Dave Arm
strong, also colored. He pleaded
guilty of manslaughter. The jury re
turned a verdict of not guilty of mur
der as charged in the bill of indict
ment, but guilty of manslaughter.
French was sentenced to 13 months in
tbe penitentiary.
His counsel were Brooke G. Empie,
Esq., and Marsden Bellamy, Esq.
The circumstances of the killing of
Armstrong are well known to readers
of these columns. The negroes work
ed at thejcotton seed oil mill and, re
turning home one night about six
weeks ago, French was carelessly
handling a pistol which went off and
killed his associate almost instantly.
French claims until yet that the shoot
ing was accidental, ' but it is said that
the State bad evidence almost suffi
cient to convict of murder.
J. EL Williams, colored, charged
with burglsry; was arraigned and
upon request of his counsel the case
wes left open until Friday morning.
J'Ha court assigned Marsden Bellamy,
Jr. Esq. and O. D.iWeekr, Esq , to
