DeLnssao, Celebrated Qraad Opera Sisf er, Wonlda't Appear to Small Audience Last Nifht. The engagement in this city last night of M'lle DeLussan, the cele brated grand opera soprano, was can celled yesterday afternoon, the ad yancesale of seats having indicated such a small audience that M'lle DeLussan positively refused to appear. Although the press notices furnished by the management indicated a much larger sale of seats,, inquiry developed last night that only twelve reserva tions had been made and 28 of these were complimentary. Of the 99 paid seats, 25 were at $1.50 and the remain ing number were at $1, making the total box office receipts, $111.50. Great artists are not obtainable at such figures, hence M'lle Zalie DeLussan was not heard, much to the disappoint ment of those few who had contem plated attending the concert. M'lle DeLussan arrived from Char leston yesterday afternoon with seven persons In her party. They are guests at The Ortoo. and will leave this after noon for Augusta, Ga. The local management loses only local expenses as the guarantee was that M'lle De Lussan was to receive the first $100 receipts. The cancellation of the date is greatly regretted by all interested.

ROBERTSON ELECTED. He Will Succeed Mr. P. A. Montgomery as Commlasloaer Iscrease of ap proprlstlon for James Walker Hospital Endorsed. Maj. W. F. Robertson, of this city, was elected unanimously and byaccla mation as a member of the Board of County Commissioners of New Hano ver to succeed Mr. F. A. Montgomery, resigned, at a special called meeting of the magistrates of the county, held at noon yesterday in the Court Home: No other namea were brought before the meeting and Maj. Robertson baa already expressed his willingness to serve. Forty-five out of seventy-nine mag istrates, composing the Board of Jus tices of New Hanover, were present at the meeting. Chairman D. McKach ern, of the Board of Commissioners, called the assembly to order and Mr. O. W. Worth, was made perma nent chairman. Deputy Register of Deeds John McLaurin was, ex officio, secretary of the meeting. Chairman, McEachern, of the Board of Commta. sioners, stated the object for which the magistrates were called together and Mr. W. H. Yopp placed Ms j. Robert son in nomination to succeed Mr. Montgomery, who lately resigned to move his residence and to engage in business at Point Caswell, N. O. Messrs. R. O. Cantwell, T. D. Meares, D. J. Fergus and others made enthusi astic seconding speeches and upon mo tion of Justice J. M. MeGowan, nomi nations were closed and Maj. Robert son was chosen by acclamation. The Commissioner-elect is too well known in the city and. county to need commendation here. He has execu tive ability, progressiveness and a knowledge of general affairs that ad mirably equip him for the duties of the position to whjeh. he has been called, without solicitation on his part. He is in perfect accord with the present ad ministration and will be a valuable ac quisition for the Board. The matter of an increased appro priation for the James Walker Me morial Hospital was brought to the attention of the Magistrates, just be fore adjournment, by Mr. R. C. Cant well, who favored highly ; placing a larger amount at tfce disposal of the Board of Managers for the proper maintenance of the institution. There was a general discussion of the ques tion, which developed a strong senti ment in favor of an increased sum, Mr. F. H. Fechtig and others taking part. It was finally agreed, upon motion of Mr. T. D. Meares, to adopt the following: , "Resolved, That the Baard of Mag istrates express approval of a larger appropriation for the Jamea Walker Memorial Hospital and instruct the County Commissioners to take the necessary legal steps to have the Leg islature authorize an increased appro priation for the maintenance of that institution."

Addresses in both the German and English;ianguages will be deliver ed by Rev. Dr. A. G. Voigt1 By his faithful labors in this city Rev. K. Boldt endeared himself to many peo ple, and now his memory will be an abiding inspiration to them. His death occurred at Charleston, S. C, on Fri day. Many mourners in this city will join with the many more in Charles ton in sorrowng over the early death of the beloved pastor. It is a fitting thing that commemorative service will be held here, where he has estab lished a monument for himself by his faithful labors. Passing of Slot Machines. As predicted in the Stab yestetday, the effect of Judge Peebles' order tEat any of the defendants in the slot ma chine cases, who continued the devices in operation in the city and were after wards convicted, he would consider their action a defiance of the law and would punish them accordingly,had the effect to stop practically all of them and no more will the music from their gilded sides be heard in the land. The machines were boxed and, shipped elsewhere to points unknown. As a result of the "cesation of hostili ties" by the machines, the city, will lose a revenue of $10 per month on each and the State and county will lose $10 per year on each. Recraits for the Rosds. Cix convicts will go to the roads Monday as a result of last week's term of the Superior Court. The sentence of Galloway Williams, the negro who stole Mr.B. Jf.

JANUARY REVENUE CUTTER TUSCARORA Arrived Yesterday from Baltimore to Take Up Her Station at This Port A Ronfh Voytje Down The United States Revenue Cutter Tuscarora, in command of Capt. David A. HalL arrived in port yester day and Is tied up at the Custom House wharf. She ia an exceedingly handsome ship, and was cordially saluted as she steamed Into the harbor at noon. i The Tuscarora has been assigned to duty at this station to take the place .of the Algonquin, which lately was ordered to Porto Rico. She is fash ioned after the Algonquin in many re spects, and is brand new, haying been launched laat Spring at the Trigg ship yards in Richmond, and commission ed by the government Dec. 20th. In the interim she was being fitted with machinery at ' Baltimore. The cap tain's cabin and the wardrobe are be low deck. Men's quarters are below deck, forward. The vessel ls'6S0 tons register; length over alii 178 feet; beam, 30 feet; draught, 9 feet. She carries one 6-pounaSHotchkiss gun; has triple expansion engines and makes 12 knots. The ship cost $175 -000 and is designed for service on the Lakes. It is believed that she Is sta tioned here only temporarily. i The ship left Baltimore a week ago and her passage down was extremely rough. She encountered a succession of gales and one time was blown from Lookout back past Hatteras. The ini tial trip was a splendid test of the boat and the officers are charmed with the way she behaved. The Tuscarora has a complement-of 55 men. The commissioned officers are: Capt Hall, commanding; First Lieutenant W. V. E. Jacobs, execu tive officer; Second Lieutenant W. E W. Hal), navigator; Second Lieuten ant, Wm. A. O'Malley, janior watch officer; Chief Engineer Fred E. Owen ; Assistant Engineer, Bryan A. Minor. Chief Petty Officers: Boatswain A. D.

Chief Engineer Owen, one of the cleverest of the staff of officers, was formerly aboard the Algonquin, and with Capt Hall and his other men, are cordially welcomed to the city. "THE VILLAGE POSTMASTER." Some of the Scenes That Make Up Magnifi cent Production Wednesday Night. The sale of seats for the magnficent production of "The Village Postmas ter"' to be given at the Academy Wed nesday night' will open at Plummer's Tuesday morning at 8 o'clock, and in dications are that there will be a rush. There will be no advance in prices, save that all seats downstairs will be $1. The critics of New York were most lavish in their praise of the nlav dur ing its long run there. The Herald said of it: "New York has never seen a better drama of rural life than "The Village Postmaster.' The play carries with it the smell of newmown hay, ap ple blossoms and cure country air." ' A pretty story runs through "The Village Postmaster," which turns to love with the ultimate happy ending, of course. It illustrates noted types; and cnaracters that abounded In Mew, England at the period from which the. scenes were taken and there is a whole someness about it that sends the audi ence home with a better opinion of mankind in general. The scenes - are the General Store, the Village Green with a country dance on Training Day, ending with a realistic sbower of ram; the Minister s Donation Party; a realistic farm scene, with an old-fashioned threshing ma chine at work, and a village church where great preparations are being made for the night wedding of the Postmaster's daughter. The same big production will be given here as given in New York and Chicago, as the company carries all the special scenery and properties re quired. Chase After Shoe Thief. An exciting chase after a daring negro thief, named Will Richardson, took place about 10 o'clock last night on Princess, between Water and Second streets. Richardson went into the store of Frank Haffner, Water street, between Princess and Market, and tried on a pair of shoes. Before lacing them up he made a dash for the door and Sam Siegler, Jr., a clerk in the store, immediately gave chase, raising the outcry, VStop thief 1" The negro ran up Princess and was caught near Second street, but he managed to wrest away from his captor and made another dash down Princess street. At the street car junction Conductor "Billie" Jones, of the O. R., L. & P. Co., laid hands on the fugitive and turned him over to Policeman Frank George. ' . Masquerade and Civic Ball.

The House and Senate Were ia . Session Less Than an Hour Yesterday. NO IMPORTANT MEASURES. Secretary of State Authorized to Employ Clerical Assistants Division of the School Funds Large Namber of Local Bills latrodaced. Special Star Telegram. Raleigh, N. C, Jan. 10. Neither branch of the General Assembly was in session to day longer than an hour. ' Notable bills passed by the Senate were a House bill authorizingthe Sec retary of State, to appoint an assistant to index the laws, the cost JoJbeuAot over $500. The, House resolution to investigate the number of Assembly employes. Senate resolution for the appointment of a joint . committee to prepare a bill for the establishment of a code commission. Much time was consumed in the dis cussion of a bill, authorizing the Sec retary of State to employ an enrolling clerk at $300 and mileage, and to pay copyists ten cents per sheet. It final ly passed without amendment. Notable bills introduced : By Hoey, to wind up partnerships in estates; Gilliam, to amend Section 1229 of the code; Pollock, to increase the number of commissioners of Lenoir county and to change Lenoir Superior Court; Bur ton, to give superior courts equitable jurisdiction of contingent remainders in ttr distribution of lands. Bills of interest passed in the House were as follows: To increase the num ber of commissioners of Rockingham county; to amend chapter 410, of the laws of 1891, by striking out Scotland county. Bills wer introduced as follows: By Smith, to define meaning of the law in division of school fund per capita, so that fcchool terms for the races bs the same length (the bill is no change from present practice); by Guion, to remove disabilities of married women in making contracts and to allow dam ages for mental anguish; by Greyer, to incorporate the Winston-Stewart Turnpike Co. A large number of local bills were introduced. - McNeill introduced a petition against extending the stock law in Scotland county. Raleigh, N. C, Jan. 10. A charter was granted to-day to the North State Piano Co., Washington. N. 0.. capital $100,000. The Incorporators are J. T. Bnckman, K. T. Stewart, u. K. Mayo, A. B. Hodges and Stephen C. Bras aw. A bill introduced in the Senate yes terday by Henderson will probably meet with very general endorsement. It provides that deputy clerks of Coun ty Superior courts shall have authori ty to represent the clerks in all mat ters. If enacted into law, as it will probably be, it will prove a great con venience both to clerks and the public The senatorial fight seems still to be a considerable enigma. The gain of from 43 to 50 votes by uverman in last night's caucus, gives a decid edly more confident air to the friends of Overman, many of whom claim that on the "home run" he will get the eight votes now bsing cast for Alex ander. Many of the most experienced politicians who are on to forces at work in the fight talk of Gen. Can as the probable nominee. He really lost two votes during the caucus balloting last night, but this is not regarded as any bad indication. He will get a large following from Overman men in case of a deadlock as to Overman. Friends of Craig and Watson are working with confidence and really it it is impossible for the beet political prognoetfeatora to form any idea of the ultimate outcome. PERSUNAJ. PARAGRAPHS. Mr. Ed. Brown returned to the University yesterday. Mi3S Maud Harris, of Dane- vllle, N. Y., is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Graham Farmer. , Miss Nelle Bernard, of Dur ham, is visiting her friend, Mrs. S. W.

Not So Largely Attended During Week, But a Success Nevertheless. The Poultry show came to a close a 11 o'clock last night, having been con tinued a day longer than originally in tended, because of the unfavorable weather earlier in the week. JThe at tendance was by no means as large as the exhibition merited and will proba bly not reach the figures of last year. The show is said by experts to have been one of the , very best ever given In the State and the management is to be congratulated upon the success of it, even though it was apparently not ap preciated by the public to the extent ii should have been. ; The number of ex hibits was about five hundred and the excellency of them is doubted by no one who went to the City Hall and aw all that there was for the delight, of the fancier. , It is to be hoped that next year the Poultry Show week will be accompa nied by fair weatherand thousands of people. The Association which gave the ahow certainly deservea such treatment. WHOLE NO. 11,040 A TRAFFIC ARRANGEMENT. Three Steamboat Companies on the Cape Pear Will Be 'Operated Conjointly.
