The regular monthly meeting of the Hospital Guild will b held at the parlors of the Young Men's Christian (Association on Monday, May 3rd, at 4:130 p. m. Mr. R J McTlhenny, superintendent tof the fire alarm, tells us that the ran dom taps of the bell yesterday after noon -were caused by a swinging ground. It was remedied last night. Last night about 10 o'clock on South Front street, just below the market, a - T i- V. young coiorea man wa, anut mc right arm with a pistol. He stated (that he does not know who shot him. I We are requested to state 'that the regular quarterly meeting of the . Ladies Benevolent Society will be held at the rooms of the Y. M. C. tA. on .Tuesday afternnon next at 5 o'clock. Rev. .Dr; Leftwich, the evangelist, ,ni noa. Vila Inhnra at (rraftA M. E. church -today. He has by his plain "preaching ! led many to see things in a spiritual lne different from "what, they ever saw before and who will' desire his return lor a meeting next year. The merchant that does not now ad rvertise certainly is standing in his own light if he does not use The Messen ger's columns at least during the pres tent week. The advertisements of others in The Messenger are read, and so will yours be. ' - In last Sunday's Messenger appeared an item that Dr. R. A. Reynolds, thg Colored physician, had 'been arrested On a warrant sworn out by the wife of an lierb doctor named Carter. The accused was bound over to court, but his accusers skipped out and were not ihere to prosecute their claim. It is ev ident that the charge was trumped up against Dr. Reynolds. We understand that an effort is "being made to secure the release of Wm. Mc lA.llister and Wm. Connor from the work house. Both these men came within an ace of committing willful murder. McAllister is the man who disembow eled Ed. Guion with a knife, and Con nor . hunted : up a young woman and deliberately shot her In the head. How anybody can sympathize with such Charaiters is hard to conceive. Mc Allister was sentenced to a year's im prisonment and has served only three months for whit was a murder tout by the merest chance. A' large crowd was present at the open air gospel meeting held by Cap--tain Leavitt last night at Front and Market streets. Considerable interest ers. A number of contributions were made to the gospel tent fund. The" itent is completed and will te shipped Ithis week from Dalton, Ga. Arrange ments are being made for Captain Leavitt to hold evangelical services during1 the sitting of the (Southern Baptist Convention. An open air meeting will be held by Captain Lea .vitt at So'clock this afternoon at the toot of Market street. Novelties in Ladies Collars and Cuffs just received at Johnson & Fore's. Election of Officers. 'At tha last regular meeting held by Linden Grove No. 2. United Ancient Order of Druids, the following were elected officers for the ensuing term: P, A. James Milan. I N. A. Julius Sternberger. .V. A. J. Wannamaker. Cond. W. E. Yopp. Secretary George Ziegler Treasurer Thomas J. Gore. J. G. M. D. Gay. O. G. W. B. Shaw. jk,. xi. x. io an. a a. u. iuarsnau. ! S. H. B. to N. A.T-JamesW. Sneeden. i R.' H. B. to V. A.-George Saunders. S. H. B. to V. A. W. D. Pugh. At the next regular meeting the above officers will be installed by Noble Grand Arch George. Zelgler. After the Installation of officers a supper will be served to the members of the Grove in honor of the newly elected officers. The Colored Odd Fellows.

The ser mon will be preached "by the pastor of the church. Rev. A. Stroud, and all will foe welcome. T1TE RECORD BROKEN. Our Trackers Shipped Nearly & Half Mil Hon Quart of Strawberries Yesterday They Represent a Value of S72,000 The JProspect Tomorrow. ' Mr. J. Whitney Houk, general east ern agent pf the California Fruit Transportation Company, -who has his headquarters in Wilmington till the strawberry season is open, tells us that the shipment of strawberries from along the Wilmington and Weldon railroad yesterday was a record breaker. His company sent out two big trains, con sisting of forty-three refrigerator cars, .all loaded with berries for Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Boston and other northern markets. ' The ship ments amounted to 15,000 crates, which' eclipses the shipment of any one day in the history of strawberry culture in eastern North Carolina. The ship ment consisted of 480,000 quarts, which,, at 15 cents per quart, the average sell ing price yesterday, represent a value of $72,000. Besides the above "shipments the Southern Express Company and freight cars carried out probably 1,000 crates. The fine rain on Friday and Friday night has been of great benefit to the berry growers, and it is anticipated that the enormous shipment of yester day will be exceeded by Monday's shipments. Examine those beautiful 40 inch wide printed Batistes at Johnson & Fore's, for 12 cents per yard. - Catherine Kennedy Home.
