CHARMING ENTERTAINMENT Irs. Cotton Reads Her Original Poem oi ,' the Roanoke Settlement and the legend of Virginia Dare to a Delfshtful Aud ience Other Splendid Features. One of the most delightful and inter esting entertainments ever given in Wilmington was that at Abbie Chad bourn 'Memorial Hall last evening. - One of our city's most cultivated and refined audiences was there to enjoy it. It was also a large audience and all ex ceedingly appreciated the programme. ' The Hon A- M. Waddell acted as di rector of the programme and it opened with two vocal selections by Miss Rad cliffe, of New Bern, who sang a song, "Sans Toi," from the opera Carmen. As an encdfe she sang "Good Bye Sweet Day.' Miss Radcliffe is a sopra no of rare accomplishments, and pos sesses a voice of splendid timbre and wonderful compass. Her singing was greatly enjoyed, and the applause she received was very hearty Mrs. A. M. Waddell accompanied her on the piano. Colonel Waddell next introduced Mrs. R. R. Cotten, of Falkland, N. C, who had been invited to read a poem of which she is the author. In, his intro ductory remarks he spoke of the neg lect of properly perpetuating historical occurrences in North Carolina, and commended the spirit of Mrs. Cotten in her effort to perpetuate in verse the history and traditions of the first En glish colony in America, that estab lished on Roanoke Island, N. C, by Sir Walter Raleigh. He outlined the subject as treated in Mrs. Cotten's poem and introduced, that cultured North Carolina lady to the audience. Mrs. Cotten was received with a flattering demonstration of applause, and" occupied an hour in reading, her poem. When' she concluded there was a hearty burst of applause, and the gifted lady was congratulated upon all sides. She has a clear, and excellent voice and . the elocutionary effect with which she repeated the verse from memory was very charming. She wrote the poem about two years ago and this was the first time it had ever been read in public. The first part of the poem" is an interesting and felicitous resume of the history of the first English set tlement on Roanoke Island and of the birth, disappearance and death of Vir gina Dare, the first white child born in America. A great part of the poem is an exquisite and fanciful versifica tion of the Indian legend about the transforming of Virginia Dare into a White doe, the romance of her two In-, dian lovers, which resulted in the magic transformation, and hef ultimate death at the hands of on1 of her lovers who slew the white doe with a silver arrow, to prevent the other and more favored lover from shooting her and bringing her to life again by means of an enchanted bow and arrow. - Many passages of the poem are particularly beautiful, and the audience very highly appreciated the production. After Mrs. Cotten had concluded,, Miss Osborne, of New Haven, enter tained the audience with her marvel lous whistling gifts. She received ap preciative applause and was encored time and again. . There was also some enjoyable musio by a quartette composed of Mr. 0ES. H. Munson, piano, Mr. James E. Willson cornet, Mr. W. A- Martin, flute, and Mr. Frank St. John, violin. The ladies served delicious straw berry cream and cake, after which the enjoyable occasion came to a close. CHARGED WITH ROBBERY. Willie White, Colored, alias Gilian Heart, Arrested for the Robbery of Postoffice, Express Office and Railroad Warehouse at Brinklej Station, Columbns County .Yesterday about 11:15 o'clock on Water street, between Mulberry and Chestnut, Deputy Sheriff J. P. Flynn and Policeman Jim Murry arrested Willie White, colored, alias Gilian Heart, charged with the robbery of the postofflce. Southern Express Company's office and the railroad warehouse at Brinkley station, Columbus county, April 28th last. The property stolen from the postoffice, so far as ascer tained, consisted of a Jot of letter heads and religious tracts. Finding that he had no use for the latter, he strewed them around outside the office.' After Heart had been arrested and placed in jail, he was identified by Deputy United States Marshal Parish, who was at the jail on other business, as one of the parties who , robbed the postoffice at Maxton, a short while ago. He was committed to jail by United States Commissioner R. H. Bunting in default of $500 bond, for his appearance before him for examination, May 11th, at & o'clock p. m., oh the charge of robbing the postoffice at Maxton.

The Old Board of Aldermen Held a Meet Ing Yesterday and Elected Ex-SIayor Fishblate as Alderman 3Iannder's Suc cessor Contracts Made by the Dr.Wrlfih ISoard Invalid. . - A meeting of the old board of alder men, which was recently declared by. Judge Mclvers decision to be the law ful board of aldermen of this city, held a meeting yesterday afternoon. Mayor W. N. Harriss presiding. Among other business transacted, the board unanimously elected ex Mayor S. II. Fishblate as alderman from the Third ward, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Alderman John Maunder. The following resolution was unani mously adopted: "'Whereas, The superior court of New Hanover county has declared the law under which Dr. S. P. Wright and his board of aldermen hold the city offices, unconstitutional and void, and that this board are of right, entitled to said offices, and, whereas, by a' recent statute an appeal to the supreme court does not vacate the judgment of a lower court, but such judgment stands until reversed, and Whereas, This board has been ad vised by counsel that there is very grave doubt whether Dr. S.'P. Wright and his board of aldermen are even de facto officers and entitled to ad minister the affairs of the city govern ment, therefore, be it Resolved, That all person's are hereby notified that contracts made with or payments made to Dr. S. P. Wright and the officers elected by his board of aldermen are invalid and made at the risk of the persons so contracting or paying. In conversation with members of the Board last evening we were advised that they could not, in justice to all concerned, elect the candidate of the party who now is a party to a suit against the board, and that as Mr. Fishblate was the candidate who re ceived the next highest vote at the democratic primary in the Third ward, the board thought that he was - justly entitled to. the office. : 1 The Opera House Last Night. The famous Edison Projectoscope Company began their second engage ment in bur city at the opera house last night, before an appreciative and enthusiastic audience. The pictures shown by this company were especially clear and very entertaining. Among them were shown the Chicago and Buf falo express, a train composed of five Wagner vestibuled coaches and bag gage cars. The train can be seen in the distance approaching the station, and when it runs into the station the passengers are seen. alighting.

A," as they were seen on Pennsylvania avenue and also in Washing-ton during- the inauguration 6f The Oraphophone, another of . Edi son's inventions, produces selections from the celebrated bands and orches tras of the country. The performance as a whole is both interesting and instructive.
