The negro ran in .the street a ' short" distance and fell dead. 'The killing is regarded as- justifiable and Mr. Boney telephoned the sheriff of Duplin last night; that he was - ready to give himself up and courted ah . in vestigation of the circumstances of the affair. . Several reputable citipens of Wallace, witnessed the affair and will testify in behalf of the officer. ,k .

The district is known as the Wilmington district and is .composed pf the coun ties of Duplin, Lenoir, New Hanover Pender, Onslow and Sampson. Dele gates' from the seyeral counties in the district are asked to take notice of the time and place named in the call So far as is kiiown for the present Judge Oliver H. Allen, of Kinston, has no serious opposition for re-nomination and unless a fight develops over the solicitorship, the convention will like ly be perfunctory in its nature. , Soli citor Duffy, it is understood, will be a candidate for? re-nomination. L. V. Gardy, Esq., ot this" city, has been spoken of as a possible candidate for the solicitorship but it is not known yet whether he will make the race or not, ., - -r. FINED FOR RECKLESS DRIVING.

Lamb,- colored,-on the way to the showgrounds Monday night,' resulting in. the killing; of the horse drawing the hack, was arraign ed in the police court yesterday on a charge' of reckless driving.,. Smith con tended that the' responsibility for , the accident lay with John Berry, the driver for Lamb on the hack,, but the evidence was to the ; contrary, and he was fined $20 and costs by the Mayor which was paid.

Brown, of Columbus, for Congress," seem to have captured the New Han over County. Convention, heid'yesterr day at noon at the Court " House" -for the purpose f of naming delegates' to the, State" and district conventions. While the delegates, will go uninstruct-; ed to the Congressional as well as to the three, other conventions, the -fight was . on the Congressional "Issue and the naming of these delegates will be by a chairman favorable to, Mr. Brown and an advisory committee rom the wards and townships to - be selected by the chairman, therefore;, it is only reasonable to assume, pursuing the policy, in such affairs in the past, that the" Interests of r. Brown will not suffer at the hands of the delegation named.; At the same time, with the confidence of the county, in the integ rity of that chairman, Mr. G. J. Boney, whom the people chose as their repre sentative in . the last Legislature, it' is also fair to assume that each of the other candidates for Congressional honors will receive in the delegation a fair representation of his strength in .'. the county as : it may appear to Chairman Boney. ',. Neither-the dele gates nor "the advisory committee to confer with the, chairman in theirrap poihtment have yet been named. ,: It was generally believed that H.
