Mayor Oare tbe Offender Sound Ad ' t viceAttack Upoa While Mao aid Bis Wife Last Hirht. - There is no denying the fact that the mpre Irresponaible class of negroea in Wilmington ; are growing more and more insolent each day and unless a check cornea some time their conduct may lead to sarioua trouble. Two glaring instances of. this . tendency upon the part of shiftless negroes came to the attention of the authorities yea terday and last night. ' , " . In the municipal court - at noon, Mary 'Jane.BatUf. -finlnrrrd woman who lives in an alley back of Mr. John English home on Swannr between Fourth and Fifth streets, was arraign ed before Mayor Waddell on a charce of having assaulted Mr. English's lit tle 10-year-old daughter," Eva, with a' billet of lightwood. The child's mother was in the house sewing and . she wandered ' from the back yard to the colored woman's place. .Very soon the mother heard the girl', cry and coming to the door, she saw her fleeing home with an ugly, gaab, one and a half inches long, in the fore part of her head. Mrs. English ran out and report ed the occurrence to Policeman L F. Huggins. At first several colored wo man who saw the occurrence, refused tossy who hit the child, but In a few minutes evidence was secured fixing the assault upoa the Battle woman, and she was forthwith arrested. At court yesterday she pleaded that she was drunk and didn't know what ahe was doing, but Mayor Waddell took that for no excuse and sent her to jail in default of $50 bond for the higher court, saying to her that she was for tunate that the father of the child. who was absent as a member of the city street force, did not take summary revenge upon her. The little girl ap peared with her mother in court yes terday, . the wound having been dressed by a surgeon. " - The other instance of glaring inso lence occurred last night about 8:30 o'clock in another part of the city. Mr. James Marine and his wife had started to visit Mr. J. P. CTSallivan. and while on Orange..' between Eighth and Ninth streets, they passed six or "seven negroes. . One of . them deliberately began firing stones at Mr. and Mrs.' .Marine, and one of them struck Mr. Marine is the right aide,' prostrating: him to the sidewalk. - Hia wife managed to get him to the resi dence of a friend, where a physician attended him.

The Chamber of Commerce is mov ing for better, fire protection to prop erty on the river front in the city." The matter has been discussed for sev eral months in a quiet way, - but noth ing tangible had been arrived at until at a meeting of the , Executive Com mittee of the Chamber a few days ago,' the president was Instructed to appoint a committee to take" the subject under! advisement, formulate someconeerted agrjCjtnriiU anfl. wait npnn thft Bnard of Aldermen with a view of having something done. The committee ap pointed by President Chadbourn is as follows : Mr. J. A: f Arrittgdale (chair man.) Messrs. CL C Chadbourn, H. K. ; Nasb, M. J. Heyer and D. I. Gore. The committee is requested to investigate (1) The matter of better protection to property on the wharf, between Bed Cross and Harnett streets, requesting the Aldermen to place proper hydrants - and, (8) If in the committee's judgment It is proper, to investigate the danger from 'fire at the Standard Oil Company's plant. As this property is protected by high embankments on three aides, the com mittee is asked, should not some, wall or higher sand bank be placed on the West side so as to prevent the oil from running into the river, in case' of fire, thus endangering1 property on the wharf. Members - of the .committee yesterday received notice of their ap pointment The receipta of naval stores at this port for the week ended yesterday averagedover a hundred per cent larger than for the - corresponding period last season. The high prices are no doubt responsible for the in crease as allhe stock' possible was rushed to . market There Were no changes in quotations yesterday.

Al Lundeen, commanding ' the fortifica tion, and the distinguished visitors were honored befitting their positions. The Inspection was rather hurried bu none the less thorough,' and it Is safe to hazard the opinion, that it was satis factory. Gen. Chaffee had an excel lent opportunity of viewing the won derful possibilities of developing Cas well into one of the finest garrisons on the South Atlantic Coast and it is ex pected that his visit here will be full of significance in this particular. Of course. Gen. Chaffee would not speak of what recommendations would be msde in regard to the enlargement or development of the defence. The party left the Fort at 8 P. M. and an elegant luncheon was - served aboard the steamer by Capt E. E. Winslow, in xharge of the' Engineer ing Corps at Wilmington. The return trip was without incident save a slight accident which befell the steamer six miles below Wilmington, This, how ever, was soon remedied and after an hour's delay the party reached here at 6:35 o'clock and hurriedly boarded the can at tne vront street station for Waahington. For this reason the Chamber of Corny merce committee appointed to wel come Gen. unaixee upon bis return, could only call at his hotel and through a Lieutenant, who did not accompany the party, assure the celebrated army officer of their distinguished, consider ation and hearty welcome to the city.

It is provided that coast wise vessels of the United States, upon the payment of one inland, bar pilot age at the rates . prescribed and the further payment of ten . cents per net toofinstead of 25 cents as now, shall be exempt of bar pilotage inward or outward, for the period j of - one year, and shall be licensed upon a payment of a 1 fee of $3 to the Board of Com missioners .for the same. No vessel subject ta bar pilotage which shall have reached the ' bar inward bound and passed or being in the act of pass ing the bar, before having been spoken by a pilot, shall be compelled to pay pilotage either-inward or outward for the passage of the bar inward or out ward on the trip then made; and no Teasel, foreign or coastwise, shall be compelled to employ the services of a pilot or to pay . pilotage after crossing the - bar and above the anchorage grounds at Southport; but if the pilot shall be employed he shall receive the rates prescribedW- r The penalty on pilots not attend ing When requested and the rate of pilotage when a vessel is detained re main the same. No master of a vessel Is required to take a pilot on board or pay for pilotage who is or has been a fall branch pilot or employs' one as first mate.

Popalsr Msbel Palje and Her Exceflest ;tt - Coopssy AH Next Week. ; , - Already the sale of seats for the opening performance of Miss Mabel Paige and - company at the Academy Monday night has been large enough to warrant the safe prediction that the audience will be of "standing room only", proportions.: Owing to innu merable requests it has been decided to repeat the beautiful drama "A Moun tain Waif." Both Miss Paige and Messrs. Cowan Bros, only consented to this repetition after the most ardent play goers had r insisted upon - their doing so. This . will be the only play repeated, the remainder of the reper toire being as follows: Tuesday, "Be yond the Bookies ;n Wednesday, "A Prince of " Detectives f Thursday, "Brother Against Brother ;" Friday, "Under Twd Flags." ; , It has been decided to give but one matinee, which will be Saturday after noon. The bills for; the matinee and Saturday night have not been selected as yet. The play for Monday night has been pronounced by our theatre-goers as the best bill ever presented by any popular priced company In this city. It is of a high standard, possessing a strong plot of intense heart interest and a great comedy vein. : . As the mountain waifs Miss Paige appears to marked advantage, while Mr. DePew gives a finished portrayal of a son of old JErin. The Paige company produces the piece with magnificent! scenery and effects. Between acts a new line of specialties will be presented, including the beautiful spectacular dances of the the Great Marty nne. t ' Y. M. C. A. BASKET BALL. Spirited Contest Last Night Won by the "Reds" Qsme This Afternoon. The game of basket : ball at the Y. M. O. A. last night was witnessed by a large and enthusiastic crowd of those who enjoy the sport Many ladies were present to. cheer their f riends to victory and judging from the score there was little difference in the vol ume of cheers. The game -was fast and exciting from start to finish and neither side was sure of victory until after the last goal was thrown.: The score was 18 to 19 In favor of the Beds, captained by W. Dosher. There were many fine plays on both sides. The feature of the game which " caused the most enthusiasm was a long throw from the ' end "of the hall by J. L. Davis, resulting in a goal. There will be another game next Friday night. This afternoon the junior members will play the second game of. their series. The Yellows and Blues will be the opponents.
