WAR FOLLOWS WILLIAM.
In Another Fight During Which He
Carves a Negro.
Poor Will Lloyd has a hard time.
Everywhere he goes some cruel fellow
wUl fight him. Fights follew him up,
but common sense and self pride are
always absent. Where Will is there
will war be also. Saturday night af
the barrooms had closed, WiU had no
where else to beat, so he went out to a
store on East Washington street. He
was there only a short while before he
found himself crawling out of a meat
bobc over in one corner of the store.
He came out with the meat knife, one
side of which served as a saw. He was
told that Zeb Donnell, a low, heavy
set negro, had swatted him twice in the
faoe and knocked him across the house
into the meat box. Will started at
him and before anyone could interfere
had fixed Zeb up so his own mother
wouldn't have known him. His face
was literally hashed and he was cov
ered all over with blood. The sight
frightened Will and he left for parts
unknown.
He went to the jail this morning to
seeihts wife, who is confined for some
offence, and after talking to her a
short while, started to leave, but was
met at the gate by Policeman Scott,
who read a description of hit deed on
Saturday night. Will was taken back
and locked up.
He had a fight about a week ago at
tha same store and was bound over to
court on bond of 850, which he gave.
He says he will give bond for his ap
pearance for this case also.
Another False Alarm.
As he town clock struck twelve Sat
urday night the fire alarm was strik
ing 42. Box 42 is at the corner of
South Elm and Buchanan streets, near
Clegg'8 hotel, and when it strikes never
fails to draw a crowd. Smoke, which
smelled of burning rags, was seen com
ing from the Fields building, which is
occupied by the Glenn Manufacturing
Co., manufacturers of pants. The Con
sumers Brewing Co. and the Southern
Varnish Co., and alw located in the
same building. No blaze could be seen
but as it is a'ways best to do in such
cases, some one turned in the alarm.
The firemen responded immediately
and were soon in the building hunting
firr. None could be found and the
boys returned somewhat disappointed
but glad, for had there been fire in the
second floor where is always a large
lot of cloth stored, it would have been
hard to check.
Store Broken Into.
A thief broke into John Barker's
store on West Market street last night
by breaking out a glass in a rear
window. Mr. Barker is a rectifier
and wholesale liquor dealer and in
addition to this runs a retail shoe
and grocery store. The thief broke
into the liquor room and went all
over the store.
Burned paper which he used for alight
was found this nrorning on the floor of
both rooms. Blood on the floor shows
that the thief cut himself on the glass
when he broke in.
Mr. Barker says he misses nothing
from the store, but that much might
have been taken without being miss?d.
He thinks the visitor got little spoils,
however. No clue has been obtained.
Two little negroes who slept last
night on the upstairs porch steps were
arrested and locked up by Policemen
Pierce and Scott this morning.
Charlie Marsh Dead.
Mr. James Marsh, of Asheville,
pent last night in the city and wentto
Fayetteville today to attend the burial
of his, son, Charley Marsh, who died
Saturday night in Washington, D. C. ,
of typhoid fever.
The remains were carried to Fayette
ville last night over the Atlantic
Coast Line, accompanied by James
N. Marsh, of Baltimore, a brother of the
deceased who is well known in Greens
boro. Charley was also well known
here, a popular and estimable young
man. He has for several years been
holding an important position with
the Southern Express Company. Fay
etteville is the old home of the Marsh
f amily hence the remains were carried
there for interment.

SHAMEFULOCCURRENCES.
Disturbance Created at a Registering
Place In Wilmington.
Negro insolence came near causing
a riot at the registering place of the
First Precinct of the First ward, 603
North Fourth street, yesterday at
11:30 a. m. The negro Willis Stevens
better known as "Drake," went up to
be registered. Rev. J. W. Kramer
challenged Stevens' right to register,
giving as his reason that Stevens had
been declared insane. Carter Peamon
a colored barber, interfered with some
insolent language, among other things
that the white men would have their
faces slapped before the campaign
was over. Mr. Kramer replied to this
indignantly. Messrs. S. H. Terry and
Thomas Herring, two well known
white men, were present and seeing a
minister attacked, signified their will
ingness to defend him. t
Mr. Terry had a closed pocket-knife
in his hand behind his back. Peamon
wrenched this away and as a crowd of
50 or 75 negroes had gathered by. this
time, it looked as if there would be
trouble. One of the crowd defied the
white men to go around the corner.
The challenge was accepted hut the
negroes did not follow.' Order was
finally restored.
THIS IS STILL WORSE.
Another and still more shameful ex
hibition of negro effrontery came to
light yesterday. On Wednesday, be
tween 3 and 4 P. M., two young girls,
daughter of a white gentleman who is
known to many citizens, were on their
way home from the school of the Sis
ters of Mercy. On Sixth street, near
Red Cross, they were subjected to an
insult so gross and so outrageously
indecent that it cannot be described.
The perpetrators of the disgusting
act were threecolored boys. The father
of the girls told the Star of this occur
rence and that every word is true is
warranted by his unquestionable good
character and veracity. He says fur
ther that on account of just such oc
currences, only never before half so
bad, but he had to keep his children
from school nearly the whole of last
year. Morning Star.
