EILERS ON THE HIGH SEAS.
Sailed Yesterday on New York Steamer
His Voluntary Banishment.
Chris Etlers said good-bye to Wil
mington at the peep o' day yesterday
morning. He had been put aboard
the Clyde Liner "Navahoe" by Con
stable Savage at 4 o'clock and a few
minutes later the steamer cast off her
lines and turned her bow oceanward,
bound to New York. The circumstan
ces of Eilers' departure are very well
remembered by readers of this paper.
He accepts voluntary banishment
from the city and his family to escape
a sentence of one year on . the roads
for a murderous assault the past Sum
mer upon bis wife at Carolina Beacb,
the penalty for his return being an
immediate execution of the judgment
left banging over him. His family
and friends considering banishment
under the conditions referred to as the
very best disposition of the case, raised
the monev sufficient to pay all court
costs and his passage on the steamer
to New York where he formerly lived.
He was kept in jail until the hour of
the departure of the boat and was then
put aboard by the officer. The steam
er was delayed this week and from
time to time Eilers expressed impa
tience at the delay - In getting away
from his troubles. Yesterday morn
ing, braced by the crisp Fall atmos
phere he expressed satisfaction at be
ing allowed to leave and signified
determination to begin life anew.

GRAND STREET PAGEANT.
Doe ia Down Town Section of City at 10
O'clock This Bornlnj Some o! the
Leadinf Attractions o! Old aad
Reliable Tented aggregation.
John Robinson's big shows will
reach here early this morning on spec
ial trains over the W. & N. railroad
from Newborn and two exhibitions
will be given to-day on the grounds
near Delgado Mills. Suburban trolley
cars will run dlrectly-to the main en
trance to the big tent upon a ten-minute
schedule. The grand street pageant
will leave the circus ground?, accord
ing to present arrangements, at 9
o'clock, reaching the down-town dis
tricts about 10 o'clock this morning.
Drivers and teamsters are respectfully
requested to either avoid the parade or
have secure control of their horses.
The comfort of all is the first consider
ation of the John Robinson manage
ment. The street parade will traverse the
principal 'streets of the city in the
morninsr. In the parade will appear
about forty wagons drawn by 5, 6 and
8 horse teams. A large calliope will
be drawn by twenty-four ponies, to the
delight of all the children.
It is the longest and finest display
ever given by any circus. If the
weather Is propitious and the water not
too cold, the big double drove of per
forming elephants will be given a bath
In the river.
Great care Is necessary on one pf
these occasions, and all the trainers
and keepers are on the qui vlve until
it is over.
After an elephant is in the water he
Is a whole syndicate animal trust by
himself, and his joy at being free and
bis own boss causes all his elephantine
emotions to conflict with circus pro
prieties. Hence the anxiety and con
cern of all the trainers.
The enormous elephant, "Queen,"
may take a notion she is ln the Ohio
river and try to swim to her. winter
quarters at Terrace Park, near Cin
cinnati, as she did at Pittsburg, when
it was necessary to hire a tug boat
and chase her ashore, where she re
ceived a severe licking with a whip
that did not even tickle her. After
that, whenever she looked at the river,
she was chained to her mate. In
the meantime "Tillie" and "lom"
were enjoying themselves iquirt
ing water on the rest of the
herd, and paid no attention
to the appeals and calls of the keep
ers. Finally it became necessary to
start a sangerfest chorus among the
camels which aroused the natural cu
riosity of all the elephants and they
came trumpeting ashore. .
One thing noticeable at the grounds'
where Robinson's show appears is the
courtesy of the employes. Every one
is anxious and willing that the specta
tors shall see all. "We employ no
one but gentlemen, and all of our em
ployees know It," said one of the man
agers. The care and attention to la
dies and children is the first consider
ation of the John Robinson manage
ment.
Without doubt the circus is one of
the largest and best managed that has
visited the city In recent years, and
should the day be fair will be viewed
by thousands. Two performances will
be given, beginning at 2 and 8 p. m.
respectivey.
John Robinson's big show will be in
town to-day, and the show is a great
enterprise. Over six hundred people
travel with it. It is strong ln the cir
cus features and has one of the best
traveling menageries in America,
The circus grounds will be located
on the line of the suburban cars this
side of Delgado station and very near
the lodge of the Gun Club. From
morning until late at night cars will
be run out to the grounds from Front
and Princess every ten minutes. All
the large cars and trailers will be used
In handling the crowds. The circus
grounds will be of more easy access on
the cars this year than ever before.
Animals from every quarter of the
globe are represented. There is a po
lar bear to delight the small boy who
has read wonderful stories of this ani
mal in its haunts among the northern
lights. There are real live tigers a
whole cage full of them fresh from
the jungles of Africa, where their an
cestors have feasted on many a luck
less native. And Hons baby lions
and some of them . not babies. One
big fellow stands and looks out of the
bars as if trying to determine some
thing of his surroundings, and then
lies down to dream of his native Afri
ca and the happy days of his youth be
fore he became a circus Hon. This
lion eats fifteen pounds of beef steak
for his dinner every day. What a
blow to the beef trust if he should
diet
To enter into details and describe
every animal would require too much
time, but the animals are numerous
and fine representatives of their class.
Hera are to be found sacred cows
half a dozen of them and horned
horses tied fast to their cages. Ugly
brutes, these latter are and were it not
for spoiling the -name and leading the
people to think it an imposition, they
should be immediately dehorned.
Several trained elephants will be
found tied to stakes near the middle
of the tent.
"Happy Heoilgan" Not so Happy.
Maybe to the person who can become
absorbed in one of the average comic
supplements of one of the big New
York dailies, "Happy Hooligan," the
musical extravaganza presented at the
Academy last night, would be pleasing.

AFFAIRS OF THE CITY
Board of Audit and Finance in
Regular Semi-Monthly
Meeting Yesterday
PAY OP ELECTION REGISTRARS
Decided to Adhere to Its Former Action
in View ef Attorney's Opinion of
LawBill for Public Well
Approved Upon Provisos.
i The registrars for the late dispensa
ry election are still ln arms and a ma
jority of them are without their pay
ln consequence of the differences
which arose months ago as to the
amount of their compensation, the
Board' of Audit and Finance having re
lied upon the opinion of the City At
torney, that the registrars were enti
tled only to the pay allowed regis
trars in elections for members of the
General Assembly, that is: One cent
for each name transcribed from the
old book and three cents for each new
name recorded. The Board, however,
decided as the law was silent upon the
compensation for days of challenge,
It would allow each registrar f 3 per
day for that service. The registrars,
however, very properly set up that
one and three cents per' name, respect
iveiy, was, very poor compensation
even if they did receive $3 for a few
days of challenges, but the Board of
Audit and Finsnce could not see its
way olear to overstep the law in the
premises.
The matter came up for final consider
ation at yesterday afternoon's regular
semi-monthly meeting of the Board at
the City Hall at which only Chairman
McQueen and Messrs. S. P. McNalr
and J. A. Orrell were present. Regis
trars W. W. Hodges and A. G. Han
kins were present and respectfully
presented their claim for more ade
quate compensation. Mr. Hodges pre
sented an opinion from J. O. Carr,
E.q , that the Board could very easily
within the bounds of the law, make
the compensation the same per diem
as is paid the city registrars. City
Attorney Bellamy was also present
and submitted a written opinion that
the registrars were to be paid only as
the registrars in State elections are
paid. The Board after discussion de
cided to adhere to its former action
ana approve warrants in line with the
opinion of the individual members and
the city attorney.
A communication from the Board
of Aldermen? with reference to action
upon application for refund of taxes,
etc., was read and the actions were
concurred ln.
The fixing of compensation for the
city tax lister was deferred.
. Bill of Lowry & Faulkner amount
log to $150 for the artesian well in the
City Hall yard was approved subject
to the analysis and the approval of
tne committee.
The usual bills for current expenses
were examined and approved.
POSTAL ON THE MOVE,
Will Have New Office on Princess Near
Front Street Operator.
The Postal Telegraph-Cable Compa
ny last night moved its office from
No. 119 North Front street to No. 1051
Princess street, the store formerly oc
cupied by the Turrentlne Light Co. It
Is understood that the removal is only
temporary, as the company at no dis
tant time hopes to have an elegant
new home on Front street. Super
intendent Ribble, of this district of the
company, with headquarters in Wash
ington, D. C, is here superintending
the removal. Mr. F. Roe, formerly
of Pittsburg, Pa., will be added to the

Sis. Baldwin "On a Tear."
A drunken woman on a street car is
about the toughest proposition the in
genuity of man is called upon to han
dle. But the way Conductor Tom
Croom, of Oar No. 29, disposed of an
Intoxicant and disorderly female on
his public conveyance last night chal
lenges the admiration of the world.
About 10:30 o'clock "Sis." Baldwin, a
notorious, negro woman, boarded
Conductor Croom's car at Front and
Princess and she at once proceeded to
make her presence known in an en
tirely obnoxious way, as soon as she
had been seated. Conductor Croom
spared his words with the woman but
drove his car straight up to the police
station and stopped. Police Sergeant
O. S. Burnett was called out and the
woman was removed to a cell in the
station house. She yelled and cursed
and fought all the way and even re
fused to shut up when behind the
bars. Her conduct in the prison
alarmed the neighborhood and she
could not ba quieted until the hall
officers handcuffed and gagged her in
the cell. She will perhaps be more
composed when the Mayor passes up
on her case in the police court today
at noon. .
