Several s ns'l l,upiiiingt were at
the mayor's court yesterday.
The case of a colored man from
Beelsboro was heard. ' He made a
disturbance Saturday night when
drunk. The patrol wagon was
called and be was carried to the
station. On the way the jolting
wagon seemed to revive him from
bis stupor and be suddenly raised
op and strnck Sergeant Howell two
heavy blows on the eye, making a
very bad bruise. On tbe charge
of disorderly conduct, he was fined
20.00 and costs On the charge of
assaulting an officer, he will be tried
later.':;-; -
. Wilson the "solder man," who
peddles material for mending holes
in tinware, was sent across the river
and warned not to return. Wilson
is an odd character, not bid, eiciep;
when drunk. .Then he has tbe
pleasant habit of walking into some
bouse and sitting down at the table
and demanding . dinner. Air one
residence he walked in and went np
stairs to bed. Such conduct U not
viewed with approval" by house
holders. A white tramp was taken charge
of yesterday by the police. He had
just invaded town and had stopped
at a house t beg. He crsated some
disturbance and the police, had
something of a chase to catch the
mau. These characters are more
frequent as Fair week approaches.
They will be taken care of promptly
by th polico and will only be wel
comed in tliat way.
Two men wero arrested last in tbe
evening for begging. They claimed
that they we) all right but were
strangers in town without money.
They will be released this morning
and allowed to proceed on their
way. :v;.' ; ;

About the time the church bells
were ringing ounaay morning at
10 o'clock, an alarm of lire Was
turned in from box 34. TLe fire
was in the residence, of Mr. II, J
Lovick on Middle streeS and by the
time the Fire Department was on
the snot tbe blaze was working
through the roof in the rear.
The origin of the tire was from an
overheated tile chimney and the fire
had gotten a start in the npper part
between the ceiling and roof to
whijh there was no ready access.
The Department went to work with
a will and it was soon seen thst the
flames would not have a clitnce to
spread. Some of the boys had on
their go-to-meeting clothes and they
were not benefitted by the smoke
and water.
The npper rear part of the house
was onrued out ana ttte wnoie puce
flooded with wator. As a result ths
plastering over the emirs housi will
come off. Tbe walls had just uien
nicely pipe red.
The loss is about i00, and is fully
covered by insurance. Considerable
furniture was carrie1. oat and taken
care of by neighbors, and Mr, and
Mrs. Lovick received mauy invita
tions from friends to visit with them
until tbey bad things in order
again.
The value to this oily of the
abundant witer supply can soiroely
be overestimated. Een a few m
menu delay in obtaining the neces
sary pressors, in case like Sunday's
might result to great loss. No town
is a better insurance risk thSa New
Berne, at it is seldom that a ffre has (
a chance to get fairly started. .
