Two fine carriage horses owned by Mr. B. J. Davis, the Market street liv eryman, ran into a head-on collision with Buburban Oar .No. 29rMotorman McOall and Conductor Biggs, early last night between Airlie station and Macomberf store, on Wrlghtsvllle Sound,"and one of them was instantly killed, while the second; was so badly broken np that , he had to be shot. The horses had been driven in a vehicle s ; to - a '--j pavilion, near the railroad track, where a -negro dance was in progress, and the colored driver had unhooked them to be fed. I In some way the horses became frightened and broke away from the negro. They rat down the county road to the track, and their instinct ' telling them that the road led back - to Wilmington, they ran up the track at break neck speed. The car was coming from Wilmington, meeting them, at a lively clip, but they apparently paid no at tention to it and fairly leaped into the vestibule when It was upon them. One of them threw his head and fore feet in the window 'of the vestibule and Motorman McCall had to jump back from his brake wheel to escape being hurt - . V . .- There were a number of passengers on the car, including Mr. S. J. Springer, who, when he saw that one of the animals was broken up past recovery, shot him In the head at the direction of the railway authorities.' The fender of the car was pretty badly smashed up.

The outings at the seashore for the children have been an annual event ever since the founding of the institution and the children have learned to look forward to the occa sion each recurring season with more and greater delight. They have also learned to cherish'and love the Wil mington Odd Fellows, who have made these annual outings possible. This year the visit of the children will be of more than usual interest and pleature from the fact that while here they will be present and take part In the elaborate ceremonies at tending the laying of the corner stone of the handsome new . Odd Fellows' building at northwest corner of Third and Princess streets, the arrangements for which are now complete. The children will arrive at 10:10 A. M. and will be met 'at the station by those with whom they have been as signed homes while in Wilmington. They will repair at 4 o'clock to the Odd Fellow building and will doubt less join the parade of the order from the City Hall along the line of march previously given In these columns. : Wednesday morning the children, will go for their annual trip, to Wrlghtsvllle Beacb, leaving the city at 10 A.

The barque la now at quarantine. The past week's receipts of naval stores show a gain in all items except rosin and tar in which there lsarstigfat falling off. The figures are as follows: Spirits, 707; resin, 1,196; tar, 180; crude, 931. Last year: Spirits. 636; rosin, 2,090; tar, 564; crude, 864. In view of the rapid depletion of the tur pentine forests in the Wilmington ter ritory, it would be expected, that crop yaar receipts of naval stores would continue to show a falling off in re ceipts from season to season. Such has been the case for a decade until the present year when the figures are slightly ahead of last season in every thing except tar. The receipts for the crop year to date have been as follows: Spirits, 8,292; rosin, 26,888; tar, 10,688; crude, 14,660. To same date last year: Spirits, 8,133; roslD, 26,508; tar, 13,019; crude, 12,350. The decline of (he crosi-tie industry is said to be respon sible for the greater attention paid by farmers to naval stores this year. " OLD ANTE-BELLUM DARKEYS.

Old "Uncle" Jim Wilson and his wife, both of them over 80 years of age and partially blind, were burned out of house'and home with all their effects at Castle Haynes Thursday night about 8 o'clock. The old ante bellum darkeys lived all alone In a two-room house in which they had been given a life estate by their for mtr master and when the fire broke out from - the chimney about 8:30 o'clock they had retired and . being unable to see, knew nothing of the threatened destruction of their home until driven out by heat They had a narrow escape from being burned up In the house. Mr. Shearln and other neighbors, who had been contribut ing to the support of the old couple for a year or more, saw the blaze in time to run down to the house and keep the" old colored folks from running back Into the fire to ; save a part of all their earthly possessions. They had been receiving a small amount from the county on the out door poor list for a while and had re fused to go to the home rather than forsake the old place left to them, but now since the burning of their house they will go to, tbe County Home. Mr. Shearln was here yesterday and secured a permit for them to go to the institution. In the meantime they are being cared for at Castle Haynes. tm Five Hundred New Box Cars.

That portion of the street between the S. A. L. depot and the A. C. L. yards is very dark and usually there is very little passlngJtfter nighLJall. The three r ladies were J accosted by two negroes, who demanded money. 'The ladles were at first too much frighten ed to scream and In the twinkling of an eye, one or the negroes jerked a hand bag belonging to Mrs, Petteway and emptied the contents of It into his hand. In a purse taken by one of the negroes was $12 in money, the lady's return-trip ticket to Monroe, two un usea ucseu to uaroiina ueacn and a number of other articles such as hand kerchiefs, etc. Before the negroes could proceed farther with the robbery, if they had intentions of so doing, one of the lames screamed and four wmte men in the vicinity, whose names were not ascertained, rushed up to the relief of the ladies and saw the negroes toim per off in tbe darknes. Two of the gentlemen gave pursuit, but the way was so dark and the acquaintance of the negroes with a means of escape was so familiar that tbe chate was .fruitless. The ladies were able to give no well defined description of the negroes-and the possibility of their capture is very remote. Mrs. Petteway 'phoned her husband in Monroe of the occurrence last night and will leave for her home to day. Purse snatching and highway robberies are becoming rather frequent of late and the police have registered a determination to put an end to it lefant Daughter Buried Here.

The negro barber was passing through Conway from Georgetown and stopped at the same boarding house with Kelly. During the night he stole Kelly's keys and went Into his trunk, removing the cash.

Evil Prophecy of Negro Fanatic from New : bern (analog Wholesale Ezodas of Ignorant Wilmington Colored. Alarmed at the foolish prediction of a foolish negro, it is stated as an act ual fact that no inconsiderable num ber of ignorant colored persona and not a few superstitious whites In the outlying- districts of the city are leav ing Wilmington to escape what they bellevp, - according to the direful prophecy of the colored fanatic, will be a wholesale destruction of Wil mington by fire on Monday of next week, Aug. 15th. ( The negro1 prophet is George -W. Richardson, of New bern, who proclaims himself "Prince George III, Ruler of the Universe." Richardson is negro of above the average intelligence of bis race: and for several years a shoemaker la sev eral cities in th&EUst In wnich llTed. He also at one ttme frWellal foTa col ored newspaper printed at some point in this State. A year or two ago he went "daffy" and has since' that time travelled up and down the State play ing upon and profiting by the super stition characteristic of the ignorant of his people. He came to Wil mington last Summer and .by spread - eagle circulars distributed gratuitously, predicted the total de struction of Wilmington by fire on Aug. 15 th and the destruction of James City, a negro suburb of New born, by water, on the same date. The newspapers freely gave space to the exploits of the negro, little dream ing that the most Ignorant would pay heed to the evil prophcy. v A month or two ago lit was given out that the prediction of Richardson was giving concern in some quarters, bat even then it was thought the exo dus would be confined to only a few whom the city could well spare. How ever, of late housekeepers have been besieged with requests from their ser vants for a vacation, and several noted that the absent dates included the 15 th. Within the past few days many house keepers have found their servants willing-not to stand upon .their go ing at ail, and servants in many cases are scarce at any price. A thousand curses have been heaped upon "Prince George," and it would be well for bim not to come this way again. . . To humor the joke of the situation, some one sent up a paper baloon In the eastern section of the city last night and it ascended a ball of fire, to an unusual height, floating la, the air for a considerable time and causing J not a little consternation among the negroes.
