THREVTEXED TO BURN.
THREE COLORED WOMEN
ARRESTED THIS MORNING
Uu Suspitiou of Having WiitUn
lui-eudiiiry Xotoa.
Some days ago a valuable gold
watch was stolen from the room f Mr
Shaw, who lives on W.Joues si reet. 8a
piciou fell 00 the servaut girl aud u
was arrested tod put in the statiou
houae. She protested her innocence.
The next morniDg her brother called
on chief Htarttand said he wanted to
have the matter straightened out, an
the chief told him that the way to
straighten things was to find the
watch. Next morning the missing
article was found on Mrs. Shaw'e
porch, wrapped in a dirty piece of pa
per which was marked, "stolen but
not loBt." As there was no evidence
gainst the girl she was released.
Today she with two other colored
women were again arrested on a much
more serious charge. Since the le
turn of the watch Mrs. Shaw has re
ceived several letters threatening to
burn her house. Suspicion at onee
fell on the servaut girl aud two other
women were also dragged into the
ca"se.
It is supposed that their motive in
thus trying to frighten Airs. Shaw is a
spirit of revenge engendered by the
arrest of the girl aud her imprison
ment in tje station house. The
names of the women woo ire now un
der arrest are Lu y aud Hettie
Smith, sisters, uud Klleu McLean.
The trial will be held this afternoon
before mayor badger. It is not yet
known exactly what the charge
against them will be. As the matter
has not yet been brought to trial a re
porter was unable to Hud tie exact
nature of the threat ning notes.

A BUSINESS QUESTION.
Do yon read advertisements in search of be lutiful literature, or to see
who can make the greatest promises, or to discover where the greatest amount
can be obtained for yonr dollar? If it is the latt.-tr we ask your considera
tion. We do not pose as "authors," nor "bluffers," nor "boasters," but
strictly in the business for mutual benefits, and our offerings are bona fide
bargains and money savers and that is what you are looking for. Be sure of
this, our prices shall be as low here as auy where else in town. But we do not
care to sell one thing less than cost that we mar make the difference up on
the next purchase our cur customer may want.

ATHISNECKWITIIAM AXE
AN UNKNOWN NEGRO
TEMPS TO MURDER
AT-
.Mr. John lwU Saved hy Frank
Luiiinden Fifed hy a Lie.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Frank
Lnmsden was returning from a walk
and had the peculiar but very grati
fying experience of saving a man's
life. The man was Mr. J .in Lewis
and his would-be murderer was a
negro, whose name could not be learn
ed. In fart the negro played a "bluff"
game, spinning a big yarn, about a
number of men attacking him at once
and escaping arrest. "But that is
another story."
Here is chapter 1. Mr. Lnmsden
was walking down the little three
block street between Wilmington and
Halifax when he heard the sound of
a cracking blow. He looked and sa.v
some distance from him two men, one
colored, the other white, engaged in
a vcuflle. As he ran forward he saw
the negro strike the white man re
peatedly. Then he saw an axe be
tween them, each trying to get pos
session of it. The next instant, the
white man, Mr. Lewis, was down the
axe by his side. The powerful negro
placed his foot en his breast, held his
his hand and getting the are raised
it to strike, edge downward, at Mr.
Lewis' neck.
The next instant, the negro was on
his back in the ditch, Mr. Lumsden
white with excitement had the axe and
Mr. Lewis, though bruised and bat
tered by the negro's fists, was thank
ful for his life. The fight was caused
by a discussion of city politics
The negro ran f r the police and
said he was waylaid by six men. Mr.
Lumsden says emphatically that this
is nntrue and so the matter stands.

from and overdose of St. Johnism.
Capable men have been discharged
there aud one western engineer is run
ning on the road there and two more
are learning the route.
QBut when a western man was pu in
at lower wages than had been paid,
the men kicked. This is how it hap
peued. The foreman, a splendidly
fitted man for the place, was dis
charged and a western man was put
in his place. He went in at the sal
ary of $60 per month, $20 cheaper
than the foreman had been getting
This roused the men and they sent
him a polite but very firm note, sug
gesting that he leave in three hours.
And he left. The Visitor learns
these facts from gentlemen who have
talked with Mr. James Hunter, a
Raleigh man and an excellent me
chanic who lost his place at Abbey
ville. Mr. Hunter could not be found.

Who Will he Nominated for Mayor ?
This question has been asked at
least a thousand times today, on the
street. Most people appear to have
little or no doubt as to who will be
the nominee for city clerk at
this evening's convention, but no
body is willing to positively pick
the winner for mayor. There is no
little talk of a "dark horse." It is
hard to get up combinitions or mal:e
promises, since it is the aldermen who
are to elect persons to fill the minor
offices, and the aldennen are not in
this fight at all.
