The negro was 'crowding the passage way and he told him to get out of the way. McDowell went off cursing him. The engineer said he went on boarfl the Tar Heel, 'which lay alongside, to get his belongings to transfer to the Lyon ; that as he was crossing over to the Lyon in the dark some one shouted to him to lookout and as he EXAMINE THE JAIl County Sanitary Board and Several Others , in An Advisory Capacity Made Thorough Inspection of the.

The Board met without announcement of their purpose, and during the afternoon made a very careful inquiry into ex isting conditions. In the party were Dr. George G.

The celebration -took the form of a. barbecue and oys ter roast at the .Lighthouse on Wrightsvllle Sound with the annual meeting and election o? officers the Association. The anniversary proper does not occur until to-day but many cf the members found It inconvenient to be away from business on a Satur evening and, therefore, the celebra tion was held on the eve of the day which is so well remembered by all but the more recent residents of the city. ' f The "veterans" went down on, a special car of the Consolidated Com pany at 6:30 o'clock and returned last night at 10:30 c't.lock, declaring the anniversary celebration a most successful one in every particular. The objects of the association are to pre serve in accurate form the true history of events during those times and to cultivate a Social feeling among the members of the command. The or ganization was perfected 'last year and the second annual meeting last night was a bright augury of ihe perpetu ity of the association. In the absence of the Rt. Rev. Rob ert Strange, D.

The negro dropped, and later the' ambulance was summoned and he was taken to the hospital. The wounds of the deck hand pene trated the back of the right shoulder close to-gether. One ball was found under the stein and was taken out by. Dr. Gray, but the other severed the main artery and passed in deeper. The latter had not been located by tihe hospital surgeons last night. McDow ell also had a bad contusion of the eye which he says was inflicted by a pair fof brass kfniucks. At first it was thought that the wounds were not serious, but later the internal hemorrhage developed and. upon ad vices from the hospital, Engineer Peoples, who had arranged " to give bond, was held at the station house. He was allowed to sit in police head quarters during the night. Mr. Peoples has a wife and family who are now visiting relatives In ay leltevflile. He lives at Eighth and lhestnut streets and bears u good character. He has been on the riyer a number of years.

The admiralty and Circuit Court dock ets will be taken up to-day and during the coming week. There are a num- ber of cases on the latter dockets, but it is probable that there will be continuances in many of them. i Thirteen cases of retailing were dis i posed of yesterday, the , government througjh Assistant District Attorney Giles, securing a conviction in all save Robbihs, J. Arthur Dosher and E. H Cranmer, of Southport; W. B. -Cooper and C. E. Taylor, Jr., of Wilmington. The company has purchased at New York the steamer "Atlantic" and she is expected here about the last or the first of this week. The steamer was formally turned over to the represen tatives of the purchasers at New York on November 1st., but she was detain ed there some days, awaiting some repairs and overhauling. As soon as the steamer arrives, it is stated that she will go immediately on the. run between here and Southport. The machinery of the boat ha been over hauled and a harMsome saloon" has been built on theupper seek, it is expected that the company will or ganize iD a few days. A ROMANTIC MARRIAGE. one. A large number of witnesses in Florence Price, Richard Dosier, A. J. j the 13 cases disposed of yesterday had been discharged and loft for their homes. The cases yesterday were from Robeson and Cumberland coun ties and were as follows: Samuel Blossom, obstructing R. F. D. route; case continued until next term.

For reasons satisfactorily to herself this good woman is not now able to provide for this contingency, so that it is indeed a great problem as to how these ten fireplaces are to be suppliei with wood. The Society cannot furnish fuel ex cept or the kitchen, and the inmates have no income, so unless the charita bly, inclined are willing to contribute towards an amount sufficient to pur chase, haul and cut a car-load of wood, these old ladies will suffer from cold. In the last cold spell the Society dis covered that one inmate, and she over eighty years of age, had not a stick of wood, and in such an emergency there was nothing else to do but break our rule by investing in a load of wood for her. This appeal is not for the Society but , for the individuals who compose ouri household. Mrs. Roger Moore, president; Mrs. Phil. PearsallT . vice president. Miss Louise Harlow, secretary; Mrs. W. R.
