Joe Hill, colored, who several weeks ago in Pamlico county skipped bond to appear at the last term of court to answer to a charge of assault, was nicked ud in this citv yesterday by Sheriff R B. Lane and is now being held for his bondsman Hill evidently thought that the little affair in Pamlico had been for gotten and that he need have no fear of being apprehended. Yesterday af:crnoon he meandered into the city co :rt room presumbablv forthe pur pose of seeing Mayor McCarthy, dis perse justice to the law breakers of Si.turlay night and Sunday. This atti n caused Hill's downfall. Chief of Police 1-iiDton cast his eyes over the room and they alighted upon the fug tive from justice. He telephoned to .Sheriff R. B. Lane that Hill was in the court room and that he could send for him. Within less than f.v minutes jk tVntitv was on the scene a d in a iiffv Hill's wrist was adorned wi h a pair of shiny sfeel bracelets and he was on his wav to iail. Z. V.

At present the morning train leaves New Bern tor Washington at 9 o'clock. Arriving there it awaits the arrival of the tram from Raleigh for about an hoir and 0.1 the return trip reaches this city at 11:57 o'clcck. Returning in the afternoon it leaves here at 1;3S o'clock .this giving persons wno come to New Be. n irom alone t hat line and who want to return on the next train less than two hours in the citv. It is oftentimes impossible for them to attend to their business in this time and they are then compelled to wait for the midnigh train. which causes them much inconvenience. If the trata leaving here at OtOS did not remain in Washington for an hour, bi t returned at once, it would give yisitors considerable more time to spend in this city. At present many persons jxyuu aiong tnc line between this city aim Vanccboro who want to spend a few hours in the city, go to Washington in preference to New' Bern on account f the fact that they have more unie in wiucn to attend to Dust ness. Be Mobilized In All Probability j Believes That the Eastern Carolina If United States Inter venes.In Mexico MILITIAMEN Local TAKING NOTICE Company of Coast Artil lery In Line For Some Active Service. League Will Yet Resurrected. Be WRITES TO MANY OF THE FANS If ft Stx-Team League Cant be Had, Why Then, a Four-Sided Af fair Will Be Tried Out. CITY UPHELD BY THE COURTS There is a probability that the State troops will be ordered to mobilize for service iu the event that the Uuite.i States intervenes in the anticipated Mexican struggle. In view of the fart ihat there is a company in New Bern, namely, the First Company Coast Artillery, it is evident that consider able interest attaches to the probable conflict. Captain J. Hunter Smith, who has been following the preliminaries so ar with the keenest attention, stated last night that he anticipated that the North Carolina companies would be ailed out if the reg-ilar troops are ordered to Mexico. In the event the Federals are defeated and the so-called rebels are victorious in the figluirg that is now in progress it is almost a certainty that the regualar troops w II be. called into action. II this is done the National-Guard in the several States will in all probability be ordered to mobilize aloug with all available regulars. The North Carolina troops in such eve t will doubtless be order d to Morehead City where they will await further commands. Captain bmith and also the capts n of every other company in the Sttte now has in his possession emergency transportation blanks which have only to be tilled out, dated, signed and de livered to bocorre instantly effective A railway schedule has also been work ed out for the anticipated movemci t of the various companies in the three Norh Carolina regiments to IWc:e- head city in 'he event the oHcr comes trom General Lawrence W. Young, Adjutant General at Washington. It is Captain Smith's bel el that the members of the National Guard would not be called into active service unless absolutely necessary but that they would be placed at some available point and held there in case they were needed and also for the purpose ol protecting that point. It goes with- out saying that the members ol the First Company Coast Artillery will await further news from the front with the keenest interest. The North Carolina Guard consists of three icgiments of infantry, six compan'es ot coast artillery and two troops of cavalry in addition to the sanitary eorps General BrS.

To a Journal reporter Mr. Ebv yes terday stated that he had received replies from several towns but that up to the present time nothing definite had been decided upon. Anbther meeting was to have been held at Godlsboro next week and at that time .he final arrangements for the forma tion of the league wefe to have been made. However, this meeting will not be held until something more definite can' be decided upon. Mr. Ebv is very enthusiastic over the reorganization of the old Eastern Carolina League and is confident that it will lie resurrected. If -it is seen that .wo ether cities cinnot be induced to put a team in the league ,it is possible that the four cities which have already signified their intension of placing teams in the league will decide to "play ball.

BEAUFORT BREVITIES. (Special to the Journal) Beaufort, Feb. 13. J. P. Wimbish, production given to the American stage in many years, and- easily the most talked about.

Umcer 000 which win ce seen here in this city for the first time at the Masonic theatre on Monday, February 24 ,is a jolly good Jarcw, and the secret of its wonderful appeal may be attributed to the riddle that its plot presents, the solving of which is accomplished in a perfect maze of merriment, and heightened by tne unfolding of a charming love story that threads the three acts of Augustin MacHugh's thrilling detective story. sais wnis Fl An emergency meeting of the Board of Aldermen was held last night for the purpose of taking action relative ro ene Din imrtKiiTccei .ill -fitv juiiKrai Assembly bv Senator Bellamy of Bruns wick county at the reqi est of twe-Judge E.

The money secured from the sale of these bonds was used in the construe tion of a railroad bv the East Caro Una Land and Railway Company. In 1897 the citv council decided that they would not pay the bonds. Mc Irttyre instituted a suit and the verdict wJUp in favor of the city. Later he became bankrupt and died.

Thev presented a petition signed by a number of prominent citi zens who were in favor of this action. After considering the matter the Board decided to amend this ordinanc;sothat skates with wood or rubber wheels could be used anywhere in the city except around the court house or in the business district of the city. The maioirtv of the voung people argued that their skates were con structed with steel wheels and that if steel or iron wheels were not allowed they would be compelled to purchase new ones or desist from the sport However, the Aldermen were ol the opinion that the steel wnceis win iniure the sidealks and were obdurate.

The parcel received last night was neatly wrapped and but for that awful, penetrating odor would have passed the most minute inspection. That the contents of the package had been "doctored" with a concoction cf cat nin tea was evident from the combi nation of scents which it emitted.
