that at least half Of those who have
heretofore voted the Republican ticket
will this year vote with the Democrats.
Other clubs were organized at different
precints in this county on the same eve

NORFOLK, September 8, 1883.
The Democratic Convention for the
nomination Of two candidates for the
House Of Delegates assembled at john
sons Hall at l o'clock this afternoon.
The Convention was very harmonious
and the business was quickly dispatched.
Thomas II. Wilcox, ESQ.,, was called to
the chair and the members OF the press
appointed secretaries. After the usual
formalities Messrs. w. Y. johnson and
L. II. Shields were brought forward
and unanimously nominated. Resolu-
tiohs approving the Democratic organi-
zation Of the State and urging the people
to unite for the overthrow of the Ma
hone influence were then adopted and
the body adjourned.
The anti-Mahone Republicans OF Nor
folk county held quite large meeting
in Huntersville last night for the pur-
pose of organizing and merging with
the Straightouts. The organization was
perfected, and an executive committee
consisting of six Republicans from each
township was elected to manage the
affairs Of the party in opposing the Ma
hone element in the county. A second
Republican ticket for the House OF
Delegates and Senate will be placed in
the feld at once. The present State
senator, John Callahan, will doubtless
be renominated. If this element can
divert only GOO votes the Democrats
can carry the county easily.
A sad accident happened on upper
Church street this morning. AS Mr..
Andrew Dozier, of the county, with
his wife and two children, were driving
into the city in buggy for the purpose
of attending the circus, the horse took
fright, and running off with great
speed threw all the occupants of the
buggy into the street, striking the cob
bles violently. Mrs. Dozier was terri
bly cut and bruised about the head,
with possibly the skull fractured. Both
children were hurt, and Mr.. Dozier
himself considerably bruised and cut.
Two doctors are now attending the in
iured family. u.

Thief Caught I'm the Dock

Soon after IL o'clock yesterday a col
ored man, named Napoleon Wilkinson,
about twenty-one years old, while stand
ing in front of the Police Courtroom,
either by threatening or preferriDg some
charges against woman named Eliza
beth Rhozenber, extorted from her five
dollars in currency. Upon getting the
money the man started off towards
Mayo's bridge. The woman informed
the police of what had happened, and
several of them went in pursuit Of the
thief, and lively chase ensued. The
affair created considerable excitement,
and the man ran for the river, followed
by a number Of policemen and the
street full of boys and men, many Of
whom were without their coats aud
some were bareheaded. When near
ing the bridge across the dock on Four
teenth street Wilkinson, finding him
self about to be overtaken, jumped
into the dock and ran up un-
der the bridge. He remained
there a few minutes, but realizing the
fact that capture was inevitable, and
that resistance might prove dangerous,
he walked out and gave himself up to
Officer Foster, by whom he was taken
to the First police station-house.

Detscttve Wren's WORK In North
Carolina.

About two years ago, in Chatham
county, y. c., some unknown party or
parties went into the house of an old
farmer who lived near Pittsboro', and
with ansaxe terribly mangled the bodies
of the old man Whose name was Gun
teri, his wife, and his wife's sister.
The local authorities did all that they
could to find out the perpetrators OF
the dark deed, but without avail.
Two months ago another murder was
committed in the Same neighborhood.
This time an old farmer named Finch,
his sister, and . colored boy were MUIR
dered in the same manner as Farmer
Gunter.
The authorities wrote to Major Poe,
Chief Of Police here, asking him to send
them detective.
He told Detective Wren about the
matter, and he went down to Chatham,
and in looking around fell upon q trail
which led to the arrest Of Pettus Hall
a well-known character who had moved
away from Chatham q short time since
The evidence connected him SO strongly
with the murder Of Mr.. Gunter anc
family that he was sent on day before
Yesterday to the Superior Court fo'
trial.
