Variety of Attractions at Wrlghtsville Beach, Including Pyrotechnic Display and Yacht Races Carolina Beach and Southport Will Be Popular; Also Lake Waccamaw Fishing Parties. If Indications count for anything North Carolina, and especially this Eastern section of the State, will have to-day" the greatest celebration of the Fourth of July, perhaps, iu its history. At each of the beaches, at Southport, in Wilmington, at Lake Waccamaw and many other places in contiguous terri tory, elaborate programmes have been mapped out and without payfjrny particular attention to the sign Seance of the holiday, the people will nirn out almost en maase for a day of recreation and sport. Numerous private fishing and hunting parties have been made up in Wilmington and as there will be practically a suspension of nearly all lines of business the city to-day will present a deserted appearance. The banks, Chamber of Commerce, City Hall and Court House offices, Cus tom House, and many other places will be closed during the entire day, while half-holiday will be ob srrved by not a few. The postoffice ill observe the following hours. General delivery and stamp windows open from 9 to 10 A. M., and 6 to 7 P. M. Carriers will make only one collection and delivery. Money or der and registry department closed all day. At Wrlghtsville Beach. Perhaps the greatest variety 'of Fourth of July attractions will be offered at Wrlghtsville Beach. The performances at the Casino, open air concerts galore, the merry-go round, surf-bathing, the exercises by the Na val Reserves, the slack wire artist, the yacht races, and last, but not least, the magnificent display of fireworks from the "Hammocks" at 9 P. M., will be sufficient to entertain the tremend ous crowds that alwwas spend their "Fourths"at Wrlghtsville. Mr. T. J. Newkirk, an expert direct from the Paine works In New York, arrived at 6 o'clock last night to super intend the magnificent display of pyro technics, which will be identical with those given at Manhattan beach and other great Northern resorts where the "Fourth" is the most "glorious" holi day of the year. The programme of events at the beach and a list of the fireworks to be used may be seen by reference to an official programme pub lished on this page elsewhere. At The Cssiso and Pavilion. One of the chief places of amuse ment at Wrlghtsville will be the sea side theatre, "The Casino." There will be given three performances, at 13 M. and 4 and 8:S0 P. M., which hours will enable all attending to "take in" the boat races and the fire works on the Hammocks. The price of admission will be the same as usual, which is car fare and reserved seat for 60 cents. Don't fail to attend the grand free show by Slgnor Gull metti at 11:30 A. M. At Carollaa Beach. If the temperature of the past three days may be taken as any indication of the weather we are to have to-day, there can be no more delightful trip than one of the five offered by Capt. Harper, of the steamer "Wilmington," to Carolina Beach or Southport. The celebration at the beach will be under the auspices of Jeff Davis Council, Junior Order of United American Mechanics, than which there is no more patriotic order in the world. The committee in charge Is composed of Messrs. Jno. E. Wood (chairman), M. C. Curllee, J. A. Jordan, Jno. E. Gordon and B. F. Dukes. Plenty of ice water will be furnished free of cost and the programme of entertain ment is par excellence itself. The best order will prevail. The boats leave at 8:30 and 11 A. M., 3:30, 5:00 and 7:30 P. M. The fare for the round trip is only 25c. ; to Southport, 35c. The Celebration at Southport.

Ire dell Meares, Esq., will be the orator of the day, and on the amusement programme there are a number of field sports, yacht and sharpie races and music all day by the Post Ex change Band, of Fort Caswell. The national salutes from the fort morn ing, noon and sunset may be plainly heard and patriotism will be the order of the occasion. The people of South nort are always hospitable but to-day they will have more than a cordial welcome for each and every visitor. ' At Lake Waccamaw. As usual on the "fourth" many peo ple will seek the picturesque banks of Lake Waccamaw for their day's out ing. Catering to public demand the Atlantic Coast Line will operate a special train to the Lake, leaving at 8 A. M. and returning, leave the Lake at 7:30 P. M.

Advance guards" have sent word that the sport is "great" and the aver age fisherman Can't withstand a mes sage like that on the "fourth." Ready to Handle the Crowds. The Consolidated Railways, Light and Power Company announces that the damage to the apparatus at the Wrlghtsville sub-stalion Jias been re paired, and everything is again in working order. The machinery was started yesterday and Mr. .Wheeler, the engineer for the Westinghouse Company, says that everything is satisfactory. Twelve electric cars and trailers will be operated on the suburban line be tween Wilmington and Wrlghtsville Beach, which should easily take care of the travel. But, as a measure of precaution, the company will have a steam locomotive and train of eight or ten cars stationed at Wrightsville Beach with a view to prevent over crowding during rush hours. The company ha& provided a large awning which has been placed just south of the Atlantic Yacht Club. This awning is for the benefit of those who wish to take their lunch and tea with them and remain on the beach to see the fireworks display. This will provide a good shelter and resting place free , for all, and will ba pro vided with free ice water. Free ice water will also be provided at the Casino pavilion .

WAS IT PROPERLY ADMINISTERED? Oath by Clerk of Police Conrt Declared Invalid by Justice Fowler. John Henry Keel, alias "Hanna's Son," the half-witted colored boy who turned State's evidence in the police court against half a dozen other ne groes caught gambling in "Dross Neck" and bound over to the Su perior Court by Mayor Springer, was arraigned for perjury in Justice Fow ler's court yesterday at the instance of Frank Jamec, one of the number implicated, who subsequently proved himself not "among those present" when the house was raided. Herbert McClammy, Esq, represented the prosecuting witness, but Keel, alias "Hanna's Son," escaped on a techni cality. Sergeant Ward, clerk of the munic ipal court, was the first witness and testified that the oath at the mayor's court was administered to Keel by Phim. Asked if the oath was admin istered by him in his capacity as a magistrate, Sergeant Ward replied that it was not; that he administered the oath as clerk of the mayor's court. Thereupon Justice Fowler held that the oath was not legally administered and" Keel was discharged. The in validity of the oath as declared by Justice Fowler may have the effect to set at naught"the evidence against the five negroes in jail for gambling, un less the' court overrules the justice.
