All assist ant postmasters will be exempted from the civil service under the post office appropriation bill, completed ye'sterdav by the House Committee on Postoffices and to be reported imme diately after the holiday. The above telegram received yester day by the Journal makes almost cer tain that Stephen II. Lane will be the assistant postmaster in this city. When Senator Simmons recommended Louis G. Daniels for postmaster at the New Bern postoffice last Wednesday night, he recommended that Stephea H. Lane, who for years has been chair man of the Democratic Executiv Committee of Craven county, be ap pointed assistant postmaster provided the age limit could be waived and he could stand the civil service examination. There is not the least doubt but thar Senator Simmons can get the age limit waived in the case of Mr. I.ane and the only thing that stood in the way was the civil service examination. There is no noitnt but that Air. I.ane coulof have passed this had he time to pre pare, but in the hort time which will intervene before he goes into the office, there was some doubt about his passing. With the rivi! sen-ice examinatio rcmoved from the office there k verv indication that Mr. banc will tro i with' Mr. Daniels. ALLEN PEflRSALL HAD II HEARING ON f WILMINGTON NEGRO CAUGHT HERE SENT TO SUPER IOR COURT. Allen Pearsall, a notorious negro, had a hearing before Justice Harris vesterday afternoon on a charge of housebreaking. Probable cause was found and the case sent to Superior Court for trial.

He is alleged to have broken into the home of Mr. Metres Harriss at Carolina Heights nnThanks giving Day. There was taken from the house ,i turkey, two razors, a grey sweater and a cap. Two negroc testified that they helped him ea: a turkey at his home, but they thought nothing of thin as it was Thanksgiving whea turkey is supposed to be served. The other things missing from the home were found at the home of a negro named Brown, who said that they were carried there by Pearsall. Two negroes testified that he was seen t leave the premises of Mr. Harriss' home on Thanksgiving Day. Pearsall has a reputation as a sprinter and although c'osely chased for several days he was able to mak his escape. When ifr. was learned that he had gone in the direction of Neir Bern the warrant was sent there by Justice Harriss. The chief of police at that place knowing his ability t run, and that fast, worked a clever ruse on him. When he saw Pearsall cut ting wood in a yard he arrested an other negro who happened to be passing along charging him with Vagrancy. The negro protested his innocence and made quite a racket. Several of his' race, including Pearsall, rushed up to see what wa the matter. When the chief, was able to catch Pearsall square ly he turned the other one loose and informed Pearsall - that he was the one wanted. Wilmington Star. TRAIN TO ORIENTAL ON CHRIST MAS DAY.
