D .ils, tha Wilmington Embezzler, Escapes. Tuesday evening John C. Dm is, of Wilmington, escaped from the North Carolina insane asylum. In tbesturm and darkness, with all the proverbial cunning of a lunatic, he affected his escape. He ha not yet been cap tured. ' Davit is noted criminal and only escaped the penitentiary by being de clared insane. He it was who three years ago created such a profound sensation In Wilmington by his reck less embetttement of church and trust funds; he it was who wrecked the Fifth street Methodist cburcii there; he it was whom many orphans aud widows of that section have to thank for terrible and grinding poverty. Davis was a "pillar" of the church but like, alas, too many "pillars;" he turned out to be a very bad man and one who had used the great popular ity and trust the people had in him, on account of his church connections, for nefarious business and heartless robbery. He whs brought to trial and, after a 1-jng legal wraugle, was declared guilty. Then the insanity racket was tried and worked successfully. He escaped the penitentiary to go to the asylum. Siuce being at the asylum his condi tion had greatly improved and he was soon to have Leen released. While there he has seemed to be entirely at sea in regard to all his criminal ac tions at Wilmington. His mind, on that subject, was a blank. Superin tendent Kirby says that his escape is probably a mad freak. But is there not method in his madness? Is he not afraid to face the music and re turn to Wilmington, where the major ity of the people believe he is not in sane and never was. It is to be hoped he will be cap tured. There must have been great negligence at the asylum for him to have escaped at all. Officers Elected. At a meeting of the stockholders of the Raleigh cotton mills held at the mayor's office yesterday the following officers were elected: C. Or. Latta, president; C. E. Johnson, secretary and treasurer; H. B. Grayson, super intendent; directors, Julius Lewis, J. I R. Chamberlain, Van B. Moore, V. C. jlloyster, W. G. Upuhurch, W. J. 1 Young, C. E. Johnson and A. A.

Who was the newspaper man who walked off with an umbrella last even ing from the mayor's office, but was caught by the indignant owner before he made his escape ?
