Tay lor, on Princess street, early last night The negro had gone into the entrance of the Smith building and in the rear of the staircase, which obstructs the view from the street, had removed a transom and let himself down into the store. He had no time to make off with anything before Mr. John Poole, who was in the cigar store of Messrs. Middleton & Oldham adjoin ing, discovered that some one was entering the store and made outcry. The negro ran out to the front door, let himself out by the night latch and fled down the street, two or three ' in pursuit. As the negro ran down to Front and Princess and turned the cor ner at A. IShrier's store, some one shouted "Stop, Thief!'1 and the pur suing party was augmented by every body in earshot, including a large num ber from the pool room of Gerken's cigar store in the Purcell building. The negro crossed the street and ran down the Masonic alley, the crowd running to every approach to the block and hemming him in completely.

Judge Meares had been a great sufferer with heart trouble for some time and for the past six months had been practically an invalid. The end came not unexpect edly for the past two days his life had been hanging, as it were, in the bal ance and the summons was awaited at any moment.

Upon the election of Lincoln as pres ident of the Union, he became, a se cessionist and joined the army of the Southern Confederacy as captain "of the Wilmington Rifle Guards, after wards known asvCompany I and as signed to the Eigtheenth North Caro lina Regiment of Infantry. The com panies first composing this, regiment rendezvoused at Camp Wyatt, near Carolina Beach, and on July 1st, 1861, organized by electing its field-officers. Major James D.
