Sir I have the honor to acknow

need, in your opinion, for the pres
ence of the military ordered here from
other points, and beg to say, that
being iu 'accord with your judgment,
I have ordered the return home of the

in addition to their regular, arms with
a rapid-fire Hotchkiss, and the Wil

commands comprising a force of
about one. hundred men. We can
also place in Wilmington, on three
hours notice, a sufficient number of
the State Gfua,rd, to meet any possible
emergency.
I accept, upon the part of the men
under' my c ommand with great pleas
ure, jour complimentary allusion to
their behavior while here. I am proud
of the fact, that they have acted, as

I wish to return tlrnks to the good
people of Wilmington for the gener

to succor our people, and it was due
them that every provision possible
should have been made for their com
fort while policing the dity .and pro
ecting life and property. 7
I have reason to feel proud of the
way the duty was met and discharged
by , our citizens generally; but espe
cially am I grateful for the untiring
ettorts of , the ladies to supply every
comfort to the "boys," who speak in
most unmeasured praise of the kind
ness shown them. Our women, God
bless them!

NEORO FIEND COMMITTED.
Thomts Lane Proven to be the Scoaa
drel Who Fired Into the light
Infantry Thursday.
Thomas Lane , the negro who fired
into the Wilmington Light Infantry
from No. 411 Harnett street, "Man
hattan Park," during the race conflict
in Brooklyn last Thursday, was tried
before Mayor Waddell yesterday after
noon and remanded to jail in default
of a $500 bond for his appearance at
the next term of the Criminal Court.
Herbert MoClammy, Esq., appeared
for the prosecution and the principal
witnesses were Oapt. T. C. James, a
negro boy by the name of S. T. Knight
and Hardy Nicholas, colored, who
runs the "Manhattan Park" place.
- Oapt. James told of the firing of the
pistol shot into his company, of the
raid upon the house, the ' arrest of the
prisoner and three other negroes and
their committal to jail for safe keeping.
The negro boy, Knight, testified that
he was in the "park" when the trouble
occurred ; that he heard the pistol shot,
. Fill " sr
saw x nomas Lane, tne prisoner, ran
around the house and throw his pistol
under the building. At the same time
he told the witness that he had "got
ten one of the d d rascals." Meaning
that he had killed one of the Light In
fantry boys. However, he was mis
taken in this, as the ball did not hit
anyone.
Other colored witnesses testified that
Lane was the only negro in that part
of the premises from which the shot
was fired.
......... .
mayor waddell told tne prisoner,
Lane, that there was every evidence
of his guilt and he would hold him in
jail for the Criminal Court if it took a
$1,000 bond. The $500 bond was, how
everj more than he could give and
served the purpose.
Had not the negro Lane fired into
the military it would not have been
necessary for them to have shot Josh
Halsey, the negro inmate of the place
who was killed as a sequel to Lane's
fiendish effort to kill one of the mem
bers ot tne Liignt infantry, who were
on their way to disperse a mob gath
ering on Ninth street.
There were, three other negroes cap
tured at the house where the shooting
occurred, but there was no evidence
against them and they were discharged
yesterday afternoon.' ;
FATAL RIVER ACCIDENT.
Steam Tag Back and Sharpie Leah Col
tided Yesterday Morning on the River
With Disastrous Results
Yesterday morning about 8 o'clock
at a point on the river just opposite
Kidder's mill, the little steam tug
Buck and the sharpie Leah came into
collision, with the result that Captain
E . L. Ward was drowned.
The circumstances of the unfortu
nate affair as were gleaned from the
sworn report of the occurrence to the
TJ. 3. Custom House Inspector, by
Captain G. C. Hewlett, master of the
tug Buck, are as follows : .
The tug was on its way down the
Cape Fear river with the weather fair
and wind to the north. The . sharpie
Leah was making a tack from the
westward shore across to the east
ward shore and when arriving very
close to the sharpie. Captain Hewlett
of the tug, saw that there was danger.
The captain of the Leah, however, did
not change his course. Captain Hew
lett put his helm to port in order to
pass astern of the sharpie, but almost
immediately it put its helm aport and
bore away south down the river.
Capt. Hewlett shifted his helm to
starboard as the Leah was still too
far to westward for him to pass star
board of her unless she had continued
her course eastward. At this juncture
the starboard side of the tug struck
the sharpie on the side, aft of mid
ships. I
Mr. Joseph Gore, mate of the sharpie,
sprang on board the tug, but Captain
Ward, of thesharpie, jumped over
board and, it being flood tide, when
he arose he was too far to be reached
by throwing a line. Captain Hewlett,
however, immediately ran i to him
with bisiug and was at the spot in
less than three minutes, but Captain
Ward sank again before he could be
reached.
The sharpie was laden with about
6,000 barrels of naval stores, and was
towed to the westward shore by the
tug and beached, until Mr. Core could
come to the city and secure a flat with
which to remove the cargo.
The sharpie has a tonnage of 6.48
and plied between Wilmington and
Town Creek, and was owned by Cap
tain Ward, of the latter place. She
was built four years ago and valued
at $200. The damage to the Leah it
self is estimated at $50 and to the
carsro $20. neither of which was cov
ered by insurance..
Captain Ward was very popular,
especially with rivermen, and his un
timely death will be noted with no
little degree of regret Up to last ac
counts his body had not been recov
ered.

He Tells of the Splendid Prospects for the
New N. C. Baptist Uaiversity
for Women.
Rev. O. L, Stringfleld, the able rep-
, resentati ve of the North Carolina Bap
tist university for Women, now being
established in Raleigh, spent several
hours in Wilmington yesterday. He
was en route for Whiteville, where he
goes to attend the sessions of the Co
lumbus Baptist Association, now iu
session there. While on this trio he
will also attend the Robeson County
Association , to be held at Fair Bluff.
During a conversation with a Star
reporter yesterday Rev. Mr. String-
field said that the main buildings of
the University will be completed in
about a month. The school could be
opened on the new year but the
trustees don't think it would be ad
visable to do so and will wait until
September of 1899 when Rev. Mr.
Stringfield confidently expects a splen
did attendance by the Baptist girls of
the State.

An Immense Concourse Illuminations.
The Speakers Message from Congressman-elect
Bellamy.
Special Star Correspondence.
Raleigh, N. O., -Nov. 16.
The Democratic 'jollification last
night was a great success. It was the
largest political parade ever seen in
this city. The most conservative esti
mates place the number m the pro
cession at- over 2, 500. i'ully 16,000
viewed the parade. Banners of every
kind were in evidence; torches were
waved, tar barrels burned everywhere.
The great arch across Fayette ville
street had inscribed on one side ''Good
Government and on the other "Good
Will to All." All the places of busi
ness and private residences along the
line of procession were brilliantly
illuminated. The speeches were all
very conservative and eloquent.
Among the speakers were R. D. Gil
mer, F. D. Winston, Locke-Craig, T.
F. Kluttz, F. M. Simmons, W. B. Shaw,
L. S. Overman, B. F. Long, S. W. At-
water, A. C. Avery. R. A. P. Cooley,
D. H. McLean, W. H. Carroll and D.
J. Currie. Among the numerous tele
grams and letters of regret received
was one from Congressman-elect Jno.
D. Bellamy, of Wilmington. Mr. Bel
lamy wrote: "It would give me great
delight to be present and participate
in tbe joy of tbe occasion, and i will
be with you in the spirit if not in the
flesh. We have indeed won a errand
and glorious victory, for which we are
specially indebted to the over-ruling
Providence of God and tbe exertions
of our splendid leader, Hon. F. M. Sim
mons.
People were here from every section
of the State. It was a good humored,
well behaved crowd; just such as one
would expect at a great democratic
gathering.

New York, November 16. The
speakers at to-morrow night's meeting
in Cooper Union, to protest against
the recent killing of negroes in North
and South Carolina, will be Gen.
James R. O'Brien. J. P. Peaker, the
colored president of the State Summer
League of Connecticut l. l nomas

Professor Booker l. wasbmgton
will speak in Brooklyn to-morrow

E. L. Manly, the Wilmington negro
editor, whose writings are said to
bave been the basis of tbe recent
outbreak, and who is "now in As-
burv Park, will not be one of
the speakers as was at first
announced. Manly 's ideas are of
somewhat radical nature, and after a
conference with him it was decided
that he had better not deliver an ad

better of bis prudence.
fDancy, alluded to above, was not
driven out of Wilmington, and was
never in danger of molestation.

U. S. Attorney Instructed to Look
Into the Recent South Caro
lina Trouble. '
AS TO POSTMASTER TOLBERT
Gov. EHerbee Promises Protection But
Does Not Think It Prudent for Him
to Return While Excitement Ex
ists McLaurin's Views.
. By Telegraph to tbe Morning Star.
Washington, November 16. The
government has decided to investi
gate the circumstances under which
James W. Tolbert, assistant postmas
ter at McCormick, S. C, was com
pelled by the threats of an armed
mob to abandon his office and home.
With that view the matter has been
placed in the hands of U. S. Attorney
Lathrop, with instructions to look
into the case with a view to the prose
cutions of any violations of the Fed
eral statutes in this or any other cases
growing out of the recent troubles in
that locality.
As a preliminary step Mr. Tolbert
has sent a telegram to Governor
EHerbee at Columbia, asking to know
whether, as Governor of South Caro
lina, he can and will afford him pro
tection in returning to his family and
office. Following is the text of the
telegram, to which no answer had
been received when Mr. Tolbert was
seen by a representative of the Asso
ciated Press to-day :
"Washington, Nov. 15. To the Gov
ernor of South Carolina, Columbia, S.
C I am a citizen of South Carolina,
where I was born and raised and have
always resided. My home is at Mc
Cormack, in the county of Abbeville.
My wile is postmaster there, and I am
her assistant and conduct the business
of the office for her, she being a deli
cate woman. On Thursday, the tenth
instant I was forced by an organized
and armed mob of a hundred men to
leave my family and my home un
der the threat that if I remained
there I would be killed. I there
fore fled for safety because I
was unable to resist this mob. I am
a large land owner in the county of
Abbeville and also the owner of valu
able houses and other real estate in
the town of McCormick. My wife is
there with our only child, a girl four
years old, without my presence and
my protection, on account of the ac
tion of an armed mob, and my prop
erty is without proper care. I nave
committed no crime against the laws
of my country and have done nothing
to give any offence whatever to any
man or set of men save that I am a
member of the Republican party and
believe in the doctrines of that party.
I send this to know if vou. as Gov
ernor of South Carolina, can afford !
me protection as one of its citizens.
and as an employe of the United i
States government that I may return i
to my property and my business and
be safe from mob violence. Answer

S. UL. Nov. 16. Gov.
EHerbee sent
this reply to Tolbert's
telegram:
'If you return home I will give you
all the protection in my power. I
don't think it prudent for you to re
turn whun tne excitement exists.
"W. H. Ellerbee, Governor "
Senator McLaurin's Views.
Columbia, S. C, November 16.
United States Senator John L. Mc
Laurin, of South Carolina, who ar
rived here to-day from Washington,
in an interview about the recent elec
tion riots in this State said :
"Any interference at this time on
the part of the Federal authorities, in
my opinion, would be most unwise.
The excitement at the seat of the
trouble has not yet calmed, and any
move looking to interference would
only make bad matters worse. A con
servative course on the part of the
administration would be of incal
culable value in restoring things to
their right conditions. The State
administration is doing all that is nec
essary at this time and it will be most
unfortunate for the Federal power to
take any action.
"Since I have arrived in Columbia
and have heard a full statement of the
facts of the Greenwood trouble, I
want to go back to Washington,
where I am satisfied, if I can see the
proper authorities, I can make them
see the unwisdom of Federal inter
ference. The people of Greenwood
county are conservative, quiet and
law-abiding, and never would have
adopted such a radical cou rse if there
bad not been exasperating conditions
of long standing."
The Governor is using all the means
in his power to restore things to their
normal conditions.
No Ground for Interference.
Washington, Nov. 15.--Concern-ing
claims of interference "With the
postal service, it is stated at the Post
office Department that there is no evi
dence that the postal service' has been
interfered with ; that officially the de
partment has no knowledge of Tolbert,
who is only assistant postmaster at a
fourth class postoffice, and there
fore appointed and employed by
the postmaster and not by the
department. The postmaster is the
wife of Tolbert and as she is not in
terfeved with, the department officials
say there is nothing to show that the
department should act in the matter.
Mr. Tolbert called on Postmaster Gen
erat Emory Smith to-day with a view
to securing some action in the prem
ises, but was told of the conclusion of
the department that there was noth
ing of which it could take cognizance.

There is more Catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incu
rable. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it a local disease, and
prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo. Ohio, is
the only constitutional cure on the
market It is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to a teasnoonf ul.
It acts directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case
it fails to cure. Send for Circulars
and testimonials. Address,

Collapse of
First National Bank of
Emporia,
Himself
Kansas -President Kilts
-S peco is t ion tbe Cause.
, By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Emporia, Kas, Nov 16. This after
noon the First National Bank of Em
poria was closed by order of the Comp
troller of the Treasury. An hour later
Charles C. Cross, the bank's president
and one of the best known breeders of
Here fords in the West, shot and killed
himself at Sunny Slope, hie famous
stock farm near town. -1
Speculation is said to have led to
Cross's downfall. His fortune has
doubtless gone down with the bank.
Among the heavy losers by the failure
are Lyon county and the city of
Emporia. All the city and county
funds were deposited in the institution.
Bross was custodian of his ! father's
estate, which is also said to be in a
wrecked conditions.
The last statement showed : Capital
$100,000; surplus and profits $101,
289.53; due to depositors, banks and
bankers $513,599.42; circulation $22,-
500. Total resources $737,888.95.
Examiner Jobsz has been wrestling"
with the problem .of the assets for a
week and it is authentically reported
that he had found them badly
snrunken. To a reporter ne said :
"While I do not know exactly what
tne outcome of this matter may be,
still i tnink l am lustmed in saving
that the depositors will not suffer
seriously. Yet when a thing like this
occurs it lops off 25 per cent, of the
assets of the bank at one blow. Wil
liam Martindale, vice president of
the bank, has been regarded by com
mon consent for many years as one of
the most solid men in Kansas. He
served a number of terms in the
Kansas Legislature and has frequent
ly been mentioned as a candidate for
Governor."

By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
New York, November 16. Specu
lation in cotton futures was again
slow to-day and fluctuations usually
n arrow, with a general tendency down
ward. For a time around the opening
trading was moderately active, and
with evemng-un of accounts bv- some
of the less confident room' operators
business dwindled down to a scatter
ing scalping trade. Under, bearish re
ports from toe Liverpool future mar
ket, indications that the crop move
ment for the day would be a heavy
one, and quite a spurt of selling,
chiefly foreign, prices went off 12
points on the hrst call and subsequently
23 points further. The decline was
then arrested by the appearance of
limited buying orders and for the rest
of the day the scope of fluctuations
was only a matter of two points. Not
withstanding the successes of yester
day and lower level reached to-day,
even the more stalwart bears hesitated
to pound the market, the restraining
influence being reports and rumors
that a very large business was doing
in spot cotton throughout the South at
a shade better prices. Bright pros
pects in the foreign cloth trade and en
couraging news from the New England
market added to the reluctance of
local shorts as regards increasing their
obligations at present prices. After a
slight flurry late in the day the local
future market closed quiet, with prices
unchanged to four points net lower.
