Mr. Boderick MacRae, engineer at the Wilmington Cotton Mills and one of the most highly respected and es teemed eitisens of Wilmington, was stabbed and very seriously, If not fatally wounded last night about 9 o'clock In front of the home of his sister-in-law, Mrs. Martha MaeBae, widow of the late Dixon MacRae, No. 508 Ann 1 AOan wer- Samuel' L. Mann;an ex4iealth Inspector and a young man well known about the city, was arrested - . at Front r and Princess streets by Policeman J J. Moore, charged with having committed the deed. Mann was locked up at the police station without bail, pending the result of Mr. MacBae's Injuries. . . Particulars of the sad affair, though occurring early In the evening, were exceedingly hard to get in a connect ed manner last night However, from best Information obtainable. Mann formerly boarded at the borne of Mrs. Martha MacRae but he left the place at the bidding of the lady about a month ago. Yesterday afternoon he was drinking and was still under the Influence of liquor last nlghL He went to the home of Mrs. MacRae, who saw hii condition and bade him leave the house- Mann was disposed to act ugly and being a widow, Mrs MacRae sent about half a block away to get her brother-in-law, Mr. Boderick MacRae, who boards with his brother, Mr. W. W. MacRae at No. 813 South Fifth street. Both brothers were at home at the time and responded to the call. Mann left the house at their com mand but stood in the street and cursed most profanely. Mr. AV. W. MacRae hurried back to his home to telephone for an officer, but before he returned an altercation had ensued be tween Mann and Mr. Rod MacRae In which . the latter received serious wounds, A number, of young men are said to have gathered while Mann was in the street, but all of them fled when the stabbing commenced. - The wounded man was assisted to bis home by his brother and when Police Captain N. J. Williams and Sergeant Geo. Smith arrived on the scene, Mann had disappeared. Every officer in the city was notified end Policeman Moore made the arrest at Front and Princess .streets aa related. Mann said that he had gone to Hall's drugstore, Fifth and Castle streets, for a slight cut he had in the right leg just above the knee and was on his way to the hospital at the time of his arrest. He was taken to the police station, however, and Chief Furlong sent him to the hospital in charge of an officer, where the wound was dressed. Later, he was brought back to the station house and committed without bail. At midnight Mr. MacRae's wounds bad been dressed by Dr. W. J. H. Bel lamy and he was resting very quietly at the home of his brother, Mr. W. W. MacRae. The most Serious wound and the one that may result fatally, Dr.:Bellamy said, was a stab in tbe left breast extending Into: the lung. Be hind the left ear there is another ugly gash, probably an inch long to the bone. Behind the left shoulder there Is a third wound about one and a half Inches long and very severe. Mrv MacRae also has a superficial wound about an inch and a half long on the left arm, between the wrist and elbow. Mann was seen in the police station after he returned from the hospital, but he refused to make a statement. He was still under the influence of liquor and remarked that liquor was at the bottom of the difficulty. The wounded man is a cousin of Capt Walter G. MacRae and has four other brothers, besides Mr. W. W. MacRae. The family la among the most prominent , in the city and great anxiety is felt as to the condition of the patient Mr. MacRae j is quiet and retiring in bis disposition and Is not the man one would pick out to seek a difficulty. He is, however, of that sturdy Scotch descent that will never permit an Imposition. The affair Is greatly regretted both on ac count of young Mann and the good man whom he has stricken probably unto death. - I . . ' . The naval store fiscal yearjat nearly all, if not quite all, Southern porta elosed with April 1st It has been a very prosperous one so far as the ter ritory contiguous to Wilmington is concerned. "The receipts have been well In advance of v the preceding year and the prices generally have been more than satisfactory. Notwithstand ing the activity fh. the lumber, cross tie and pole industries which detracted rery largely from the naval store in terests,, the receipts of spirits are nown oy statistics gathered by the Chamber of Commerce to have been nearly 12t per cent greater than the preceding year; there was a gain of nearly 8,000 barrels in the receipts of rosin and tar and crude went about 2,000 barrels to the credit of this year. The exports, both domestic and foreign, are correspondingly increased over the preceding year. The detailed state ment will be found, with that of tbe regular monthly . report of cotton and naval stores, in the commercial col umns of to-day's Stab. iv .... xne cotton crop year does not end until Sept. Hit but already enough Is seen to predict that the present season will be one of the largest In point of receipts in the history of the port Up to-yesterday 835.559 bales had been re ceived ag,Intt 247,628 bales during a corresponding period last year. Secretary James Kyle, of the Cham ber of Commerce, some time ago com piled a very Interesting report of the naval store business at Wilmington since the establishment of the records in 1875. As a study in figures it Is shown that up to the present 1,778,528 casks of spirits have been marketed here, which, at the fair average price of 85 cents per gallon, brought $32,280,009.60; ros in, 8.981,971 barrels averaged at $LS5 per barrel, $12,126,660.85; tar, 1,796, 867 barrels, at $L10 per barrel, $U976, 003.70. The total of the naval stores business since the record was estab lished has, therefore, been $46,882, 674.15, or something over an average of a million and a half dollars a year! urune turpentine is not ncludedln the above from the fact that all mar keted here is consumed by distillers In this city. The present year is the first In fif teen that the receipts of naval stores have not shown a falling off from the preceding year In a majority of the items of the market The business has been gradually going further South each year, owing to depletion of the forests, and it Is a source of congratu lation for the port that the figures are looking up this season.
