The attraction comes Thursday night and, the sale of seats begins at Pium-mer's- to-morrow morning. Of the ap pearance .in Richmond,, the News Leader says f y "There is a perennial charm - in JameaT O'Neill's portrayal of that fas cinating character, Monte Cristo. "' i "If the actor, who has' been identi fied more closely with the role than any other star that ever essayed-it, is serious in- announcing his intention to cast it aside after this season, the American stage is -about to-suffer a material loss. . "Mr OJNeill is not a great aetor, but I Y" r id. nt - - P WVIArt, UUt I ne is an artist 'r xcepllonl.ttumiyi and a careful, painstaking, conscien tious player, who has succeeded as few histrions succeed in pleasing-the pliaygoing public many years; and he has earned by honest endeavor, strictly legitimate methods and real merit a high place in the esteem and affections of that discriminating ele menfand support to what is best in the drama. "Moreover, he has been leng since accepted by the critics as the best Monte Cristor of the English-speaking stage and remains without a . peer. "His performance at the Academy of Music last night was enjoyed by nJ largeand appreciative audience. It could have been should have been enhanced by stronger support. But the principal roles were In the hands players who rendered their respec- ive parts intelligently, and the minor characters of the play might have been presented in far less acceptable arm.- And so, on the whole, the per formance was satisfying.

James OfNeill steps into the rote. . ' Few plays have attained such suc cess,' either' in the modern or .the clas sic drama.-Tne characters are ail well drawn."- Their motives are clear and easily understood. The elements of poetry , and romance abound in it. but there is also the rapid action ana development of plot which belong to the stirring dramas of every-day life. In some respects "Monte Cristo" calls for methods of acting which are be coming obselete, partly because the new school of melodrama players ao not know how to comply the methods correctly. James O'Neill has all the quaiinca- tions physical, mental, temperamen talfor an ideal Monte Crista At is earnestly hoped that he ill not di vorce the character to wmcn ne owes his greatest success and in wmcn he is most acceptable to patrons of the theatre. Make it a Patti farewell, Mr, O'Neill, make it a Patti faremell! " KILLING OF YOUNG MALPASS, MM.-Ukjrrtmjrmrx? Utrfissijjff aiiT in Sampson County. -- ' - Sergeant George D. Meece, of the 102nd Company, Coast Artillery, re turned to the -post at Fort Caswell yesterday after attending the funeral of K. M. Malpass, the young soldier of the same command who was killed near his .mother's home in Sampson county last Friday. The services were conducted at 2 o'clock Sunday after noon by Rev. Mr. Boney, of Sampson county, and the remains- were laid to rest in the family burying ground. Sergeant -Meece laid on the casket a beautiful floral wreath, as a tribute to the young soldier from his comrades at the fort. Sergeant Meece was . not disposed to talk of the result of his investiga tion of the killing of young Malpass. It appears, however, that the bullet was fired from a 38-calibre pistol of six-inch barrel, entering just over the eye and passing straight through the head. - There were no powder marks on the flesh which would seem to indicate that the vpistol was not fired at so close a range as a self-in flicted wound. The pistol belonged to Malpass but when the driver "was overtaken and arreBted on his way back to Wallace, he had the pistol in his possession and is said to have been loth to give it up. Two shells, with fresh powder marks, were empty in the chambers of the revolver when it was taken from the driver. Two ladies and a little girl witnessed the shooting some distance away but were unable to say who firmed the pistol in the scrimmage. The negro driver was released after the inquest by the coro ner. Young Malpass was very popular in his- company at the fort and his com rades are very much concerned over the shooting. CAPE FEAR . COUNTRY 'CLUB. Annual . Meeting of ' Stockholders Three Per Cent.

CITY More in Regard to Controversy Between Business Man and City Officers CONDITION OF THE STREETS Grounds of Complaint Are Explained No Intention to ' Misquote Ques tion , of That "Dummy" -Line Again Rejoinder in Full, Apropos the controversy between Mr. C.-C.' Covington and the city ad ministration, with reference to the competency -r incompetency of the latter, -the Star has -received tfie fol lowing from" Mr. Covington' with a re' qut'St to publish: Editor Stajy-r-ln my remarks before since.-f did not Intend to misquote wiayor waddell or Mr. O'Brien, as to pulling up the "Dummy -Line," ' nor was it my purpose to do so. I merely told 'Of their conversation with-me, as I understood them." I thought I was right then, and still think so. After having, this conversation with them, their manner and tone so im pressed me, that I waited on Mr. J. A. Taylor, president of the Chamber of Commerce, to be on the alert, that I fully-believed some hostile action was to be taken against the "Dummy Line", by the Mayor. 1 advised him td have the Chamber ready to inter cept anything of the kind that might shosfup. This was in September last. Unfortunately, . no friend of mine was present to hear this conver sation with- Mayor" Waddell and Mr. O'Brien;. It seems very strange that the very first opportunity that was offered, the spur track on Dock street was order ed" to be taken up. Were both sides given a hearing before this order was made? If,- however, I am not right, I . stand ready to be corrected, will waive the point, and give them the benefit of the doubt I will not de nounce their statement as being false, but offer this explanation, as being the more manly. I will' have no contro versy with them. The question of the "Dummy Line" will be settle?! with .satisfaction to all. It was not embodied in any complaints I have made to the Mayor. My' con tention withtim was about the condi tion of Walnut street, from Nutt to the river." The Dispatch, after a very careful investigation, sustains my po sition with a strong article in its is sue of Feb. 10th. Admit; for the time. that the Mayor did order the street cleared and repaired, and -that Mr. O' Brien did wait on the railroad com pany. They both displayed want of business ability in not seeing to it that the order was obeyed. That street is now, and has been obstructed for many months, and is unfit for safe and easy traffic Clear it up, and keep it so. I would suggest that the Mayors get up from their easy chairs, and do the work for which they were hired and are being paid. This will stop the numerous editorial warnings from the city press and ever increasing com plaints from the citizens. The beer kegs 'and barrels of bottles to which -I m urotei i wti jemored . Saturday morning, previous to a visit of Mr. O'Brien's to the scene; he had evident ly heard of that meeting at the Cham ber, of Commerce. Walnut street, from Nutt to the river- to-day, is a disgrace to any ad ministration. That it is in such con dition, is a reflection on Mayor Wad dell and Mayor Pro Tem O'Brien. They were both duly notified in June and September last, and their orders have nbt yet been obeyed, for the street is in worse condition now than it was then. Does this not prove; their negligence and incompetency? Gentlemen, your attention is called again to it. Tax payers, of the city, what have you to say f these complaints relative to the streets-and side-walks, both from the press and citizens? Open your eyes, stop and think for a moment! C. C. COVINGTON. Wilmington, Feb. 12, 1906. GERMANIA HALL FIRE. Chiefs Official Report Forwarded Razing The Walls Gasolene. Chief Charles Schnibben yesterday completed his Investigation of the ori gin of the Germania Hall fire on Fri day night, but could arrive at no de finite conclusion.. His report of the conflagration was forwarded to the State Insurance Department yester day, the. cause of the fire being put down as "unknown." Saturday and Sunday nearly all day the firemen were engaged in tearing down dangerous walls and raking the debris into the middle of the burned district so that the possi bility of an outbreak from the embers would be easily controlled. Quite all of the burned "property will be, re built" at once with better and more imposing structures than."-before the fire. Business men and the insurance people are up in arms with the city administration"" over the growing use of gasolene and the indifference -as to its storage in quantities in the busi ness district The unanimous opinion seems to be that stricter regulations as to this, combustible should be adopted or enforced at once. Some insurance men are free to say that un less something is speedily done, there will .be an increase of rates. NOT A CHURCH AFFAIR.

Missile Thrown Into Crowd Struck Of ficial In the Eye. A missile "Hurled by a small boy in to a crowd of several hundred persons watching the firemen pull down the burned walls of the Willard bag fac tory Sunday afternoon, struck City Clerk and Treasurer John J. Fowler in the right eye, breaking one of his eye glases, a part of the shattered glass piercing the ball of the optic. Mr. Fowler was quite painfully, but it is hoped was not seriously injured. However, he is confined to his home and is under the care of Dr. W. C Galloway, who thinks the eye sight Will not be permanently impaired. The missile appears to have been a piece of white mortar from the white brick of the burned wall and was thrown evidently at another boy with no intention of doing anyone harm. A white mark on the broken glass indicates that it was a piece of mortar and not a brick bat that was hurled. Mr. Fowler has been inform ed.of the identity of the boy who threw the missile, but will not divulge bis name, saying that the accident was unintentional and having a very high regard for the parents of the young man. Mr. Fowler suffered intensely with the eye at first, but after consulting Dr. Galloway, he received some relief, tnougn ne win iiK-eix-oe confined to his home for some time. He was able to be out yesterdajr, only to and from the office of Dr. Galloway. THE STORM LAST NIGHT. Northeast Gale Prevailed After Day , of Rain River Freshet.
