Dear Sir: should be very glad indeed to

A meeting OF gentlemen was held last
Monday i'll the room of the Builders
Exchange for the purpose of organizing
u new singing society of mixed voices to
sing oratorio and other music of a
lighter character. Quite u largo repre-.
sentation of singers expressed them
selves enthusiastically in favor of the
movement, and it was the unanimous
opinion that such society should and
could easily be formed, Many cities
only half the size of Wilmington have
mixed societies of 200 to 400 good voices,
and it is believed that IL society here,
formed and managed upon the right
principles, can eventually reach a mem.
bership Of from 200 to 500 voices. A
temporary organization was effected
by the election of n. Il. Benson, Presi-
dent, and George + Baird, Secretary,
and committee Of seven consisting Of
/. Leslie Carpenter, IL. Howard Carver,
W. n. Eaton, Jr, Henry Baird, Samuel
i. Rogers, George +. Baird and N. X.
Benson, was appointed to outline CON
stltution for the new organization, to be
submitted at future meeting.

and in few minutes she heard the
scutile. She looked through the small
window in the partition and saw Ruva
fall down dead. Faino left and ran out
Of the restaurant. He threw the knife
down ON the counter. Polombo ran out
with his hand covered with blood.
The cfoss-eXanlnatiOn did not develop
any material new evidence.

one OF the Italians who was in Crops
saloon on the night of April goth last.
The witness detailed the circumstances
Of the trouble in the saloon, which has
been described by previous witnesses He
then told the jury the tragedy in the res
taurant across the street. The witness
and Ruva were partners while Figas!ine
and Polombo played cards together. The
dealer gave each man 10 cards, 40 in all.
The witness was the last man to play.

blow. Ruva got up and grabbed Faino
and fell against the table, which was

hit Fuino with billiard cue. He saw
Faino strike at Ruva, IN the restaurant,
but saw no weapon in his hand. A
scuific ensued and Faino fell down on
| the floor with Ruva on top of him. This
testimony was very material TO the case

| Faino first struck Ruva with his hand,
and then fearing that Ruva would shoot
him with pistol, struck the blow with
knife.

That we'll known mine, the Texas, at

ore one week ago yesterday and is now
preparing another shipment. Under the
careful superintendence Of J. Crockett
Givens the mine not only continues to
hold its own and to deserve it's reputa-
ton as a good producer but is gaining IN
the profit that is being made out Of it.
The most important mineral discovery
made for years in Grant County, was
that Of a quicksilver mine near George
town IN Shingle Canon, by Ed Clark and
Alex McGregor. The ore is chiefly Gin
nebar (red oxide of mercury but con
talns also metallic quicksilver and sui
phide of mercury. The fortunate dis
coverets have covered all the adjoining
ground which shows indications Of the
ore with locations, and are now doing
their location work as rapidly as posi-
ble.
