The cause of the de railment is "not known. - Mr. Foushee was -well known and highly esteemed in Wilmington - and the tragic end of his life will cause deep regret here. '. He was a young man of sterling qualities. A Bare Event. Messrs. Johnson & Fort had their spring mtyinery opening . last night at their handsome store, 111 (Market street and it was pronounced the finest dis play ever made at this popular estaib lishment. The doors were opened at 8 p. m. and until after 10 p. m. there waa a perfect Jam off ladies admiring the beautiful things. The store was a perfect revelation in its artistic decoration by ;Hr. Will Render, the florist, who out did him self in an exceedingly tasteful arrange ment of palms, ferns, foliage plants bamboo, etc. The elegant display of goods in, the different departments gave the Store a charming effect,, and all the visitors agreed fhat the open ing surpassed all previous efforts toy the establishment. "The display of hats was Simply su- perb. The styles were perfect gems and everybody said so. (Mrs. Laureigh, the trimmer, was given the highest praise for "the skill and taste shown in the work. She is Just out from New York, and introduces the.vey latest metropolitan styles. Messrs. Johnson & Fore havebrought out' the largest and handsomest Stock that ever filled their store, and truly it Can be said that they never had sucb an opening. They bave a magnificent line of imported dress trimmings, Jet and applique trimmings, laces and em broideries, etc. Their Stock of dress and waist silks Is lovely, and among the varied selection of dress goods none were more admired than the large stock of imported French printed or gandies. The ladies greatly admired the marvelous display of stamped lin ens and embroidered Silk material, all the work on the latter being the handi work of Wilmington ladies. A ne'w lino of cut galss and bric-a-brac attracted much attention. A pretty and useful souvenir, "The American Queen," a fashion publica tion of great popularity, was given to the 'ladies. As an indication of the number of visitors, 500 of these elegant books were given away. Hereafter the house will give them monthly to its customers. . ' The opening will continue today and tonight. It may save you time and money to be Informed that, when you need a blood-purifier, Ayer's Sarsaparilla Is the kfhd most in favor with the medi cal profession. It is the" standard, and. as such, the only blood-purifier ad mitted at the Chicago World's Fair. Was Lewis the incendiary ? George Lewis, colored, charged with forcible trespass on the premises of Mr. Vance 'Norwood, 308 North, Front street, was given a hearing before Jus tice iR. H. Bunting yesterday. It was shown by the "witnesses that Lewis had 'been ordered to stay off the prem ises but he went back .three or four times and raised a difficulty with a colored woman employed in the family, He had threatened her and because she was afraSl afhim. she was allowed to sleep in the dining room. Last Thursday night fire was set under neath the dining room near where she was sleeOiner. The witnesses were questioned to implicate Lewis in set ting fire to the house,' but nothing defi nite could be elicited in that direction, though the grounds for suspicion against him. are very strong. Lewis stated that he was. sexton of St. Stephen's A. M. E. church and was there at the time the fire occurred. For going on the premises be Was fined 520 and required to pay costs amount ing to $5.30. He failed to give bond and was Sent to Jail. The- morning after the. fire at Mr, Norwood's residence, a bottle of kero sene oil was found where it had been left by the incendiary. . . The rapidity with which croup de velops --calls for instant treatment; and yet few households are prepared for its visits. An admirable remedy for this disease is Ayer's Cherry ectoral. It has .saved hundreds of lives and should be in every home where there are young children. Horse Drowned.

"One Sunday evening," said Mr. Jef ferson,- "being alone in my lodgings, I got out for my own admiration my new wig and beard the pride of my heart which I was to use in the last act. I could not resist trying them on for the twentieth time, I think, so I got in front of the glass and adjusted them to my entire satisfaction. I soon became enthused and" began acting and posing in front of the mirror. In about twenty minutes there came a knock at the door." "Who's there?" called Mr. Jefferson. "It's me, if you please," said the gen tle but agitated voice of the chamber maid. "May I come In?" ''Certainly not" returned Mr. Jefferson, not wish ing to be seen in his make up. "Is there anything wrong In the room, sir?" inquired the girl. Noth ing at all.i Go away," he answered. "Well, sir," she persisted, "there's a policeman at the door and he says as 'ow there's a crazy old man in your room a-flingen of his arms and a-going on hawf ul, and there's a crowd of peo ple axiress the street a-looking up the way."- Mr. Jefferson turned toward the win dow and discovered to hia horror hat he had forgotten to pull down the cur tain, and -had been acting with' the lights full up to an astonished audience who had not paid for admission. As he tore off the wig a shout went up. Quickly pulling down the curtain, he threw himself into a chair overcome with mortification at the occurence. But in a few moments the comical side of the picture- presented itself and he laughed for half an hour. The sale of seats for Mr. Jefferson's performance begins "this morning at 7 o'elock.- at Gerken's. Shipping Strawberries.

" -- There Is more Catarrh In this Mention of thm country than all other diseases pnt together. ana uniu me last lew years was supposed to do incurable. For a great many years doctors pro- nounceu a local aisease, ana prescnoea local remedies , and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sci ence has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and, therefore, requires constitutional treatment. Hall's 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 teaspoon ful. 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 ana testimonials. Address, - F.J.
