Edward Johnson, the faithful col
ored porter of the Bonitz House, a
man past the meridian of life who had
never had a charge against him before,
was fully exonerated of larceny even
bofore the police court yesterday at
noon. It will be remembered that the
porter was charged with the robbery
of $45 from a man from the country
whom he was showing up to the ho
tel, the stranger being in an intoxi
cated condition. Yesterday morning
when the man from the country had
slept it off" good, the money the col
ored man was charged with stealing
and for which he lay in the guard
house all night, was found in the
stranger's own vest pocket. It had
never been touched- Old Man Ed
ward was forthwith discharged from
custody. It was a complete "vindica
tion for him and no one is prouder of
it than is he and his friends, who have
always found him upright and straight
in his dealings with his fellow man.

''The preliminary steps toward an
appeal in behalf of Anthur Adams and

mutineers from the ill-fated schooner
Harry A. Berwind, now in the New
Hanover county jail awaiting execu

taken in the United States Court here
Wednesday by Mr. George Rotintree
and Mr. George L. Peschau, counsel
for the condemned men. The prelim
inary consisted of the filing of a writ
of error which was forwarded to Judgo
Purnell in Raleigh for an order either
allowing or denying the appeal- The
grounds upon which the appeal is ask
ed for the prisoners were stated by
Mr. Rountree to the court at the con
clusion of the recent trial of the not
ed case in this city, and there is no
need to re-state them here. At that
time Judge Purnell allowed, the statu
tory time for making up the case on
appeal and the matter has been in
statu quo since. Although Jhe time al
lowed for appeal has not yet expired,
already the attorneys have taken the
first step toward saving the ncks of
their clients and the case will be
watched with increasing interest as
the time approaches for the final de
termination of the question.
The appeal is to the Supreme Court
of the United States and may or may
not result in a stay of execution, all
depending upon when the highest tri
bunal in the land can hear and render
decision in the case. This may or
may nrtt be before the day set for the
execution. If it is not, then the hang
ing will be postponed to conform to
the decision of the higher court. Il

noon, announced the death of Mr. Ar

yesterday morning at his homein
Goldsboro after a brief illness' with
pneumonia contracted during his re
turn from a business trip to New York
Sunday" morning. Mr. Borden was
quite well known in this city and the
news of his death came as a great
shock to his friends here. It will be
remembered that in a local election in
Goldsboro a few months ago Mr- Bor

L'Arioso German.
As fthe date approaches for the
L'Arioso german the members in gen
eral, who delight in "tripping the light
fantastic," manifest a great degree of
pride and enthusiasm in the event.
The various committees have been
working faitfully to make this Xmas
dance the most successful ever in the
history of the Club. Unusual prepara
tion has been made especially by the
Hall Committee and the decorations
promise to be unexecelled. The Gov
erning Board have decided to make
several changes in regards to this par
ticular dance and the foremost step
taken regards the admission to the
ball room balcony. Cards of admission
will be gladly furnished members of
the club for their friends and they are
earnestly requested to see that their
friends who desire them are supplied
for the reason that at the entrance of
the stairway leading to the ball room
there will be a door-keeper who will
have instructions not to admit any
one without the card of admission.
The friends of the members of the
club are at liberty and earnestly re
quested to apply for these cards which
may oe had upon application to any of
the following officers: Messrs. H. M,
Chase, C. McD. Davis, Thos. B. Wil-
lard, A. S. Williams, Thos. H. Wright
and R- G. Kankin. Jr. (Sec'y). As
before stated, it is not the desire of
the Club to give offence but for the
welfare of the Club and guests the
Governing Board has decided that this
was the proper step for such occas
ions. Therefore to avoid and mis
understanding that might arise and
cause embarrassment to any one, it is
hoped that all who desire witnessing
the dance will do so by first obtaining
the necessary card of admission.'
