grace on the Turnpike

Yesterday a party of gentlemen who
went TO Wrightsville passed a hack
near Wrightsyille, containing two ne
gro men and two women, besides the
driver. The occupants of the carriage
were drunk and very boisterous and
between the Second and Third toll
house they became so boisterous that
the driver made them get out of his
vehicle When the gentlemen were re-
turning they overlook one man and
two women on the turnpike, and one
OF the women and a man We're having
a rough and tumble fight right in the
shell road. The man was battering the
wOman numerically. and she had
given him a bad bite owe the eye.
The gentlemen interferred and came
very nearly getting into a fight with
the man themselves.
Drunken people ought not to be al
lowed to pass the toll houses at either
end of the turnpike. as many ladies
drive on the shell road and are liable
to be shocked by such conduct as that
which occurred yesterday afternoon.
Luckily. it does not happen often.

Charleston, S. c., September 10.-The
United States transport Minnesota,
that arrived here last night, was not
allowed to come up to the city by the
health authorities. Quarantine Off
Ger Lobby had discovered that there
was a suspicious cas- of sickness on
board the vessel and as she was but
days out of Santiago the
board of health decided she had best
not be allowed to touch here. There
were forty cases of sickness on the
ship when h went to New York car
rying troops from Santiago.

WAR RELICS.
A Young Wilmington Hero Sends
Home a Piece of Gun From the viz
caya, and Relics From the Maine and
WinSlOyV.

caya. and Relics From the Maine and
WinslOw.
Mr.. Willie J. Gilbert, a former en-
ploye of The Messenger, and son of
Mr.. G. H. Gilbert, go Princess street,
has served during the war on the AUX
Hilary cruiser Lot M. Morrill,. He will
be only 10 years of age on the 14th of
December but he is true blue" He
was under fire of the batteries at Ha-
ana and it only gave him a taste for
more, as he made every effort to get
into the regular navy. He is now at
Portsmouth, Va, with the Morrill, and
she will go to Philadelphia in a few
days to have new boilers put in. Be
fore leaving Key West for Portsmouth
Mr.. Gilbert wrote to his mother. How
happy | am we are off for Cuba today.
l am glad to say that it looks like 1
will get n more chance to avenge
of the Maine. = + = went
out to the cemetery last Friday
to see the graves of the Maine martyrs.
1t is a sad looking spot-just plain
graves not turfed or anything.
The government has stuck up little
flags all over the graves. The keeper
gave me one that came off a grave that
had six men in it. These little flags
are the way a stranger tells where the
Maine heroes are buried. l also saw
the graves of the five men that were
killed on the torpedo boat Winslow.
They are buried in the same style as
the Maine boys. Such a sight is
enough to make any American boy feel
that it is his duty to avenge them.
There are a lot of soldiers here all
shot up. 1t is quite a common thing
to see a wounded soldier walking
about the streets here"
Young Mr.. Gilbert is bent on getting
into the regular service. While the
war was at it's height he offered his
services to the secretary of the navy
free of pay and tried to get transfer
red to the battleship Texas. He made
this offer long before Admiral Ger
vera's fleet was destroyed, and in his
letter to his mother he says: L was
in hopes Of getting on the Texas in
time to take part in the destruction of
the Spanish fleet. The secretary of
the navy answered my letter and told
me he could not transfer any men out
of the service to the navy So that
settled it. / never got a showing"
Mr.. Gilbert sen his mother by ex-
press several interesting relics-One
a piece of the harveyized steel hull of
the torpedo boat Winslow which was
torn out by Spanish shells when Ensign
Worth Bagley was killed at C%ardenas.
Another relic is q piece Of a rapid fire
gun taken from the Spanish warship
Vizcaya after uer destruction by the
American fleet at Santiago. Still
another interesting relic is a cartridge
fora rapid fire gun that went down with
the Maine in Havana harbor. 1t was
brought up ~ n of the divers, and
Mr.. Gilbert got it while the Morrill,
was in Havana waters. He also sends
the little flag from the grave of the
Maine heroes, and a picture Of the
killing of Worth Bagley. They will be
put in a frame and preserved. The
sailor boy does not forget also to send
his mother and sister a lot of pretty
shells and souvenirs he secured, to be
kept as mementoes of his service for
Uncle Sam.

He Knew Not Of.

Judge Fox and Steve Hawkins Iva

a few days ago, when the lrate farm
er ordered them off his premises. The
two men started to go, but were lit
tie less speedy in the process than the
farmer would have wished, and 9
grew angrier. He told the Judge with
vehemence that he knew him, and that
he was a farmer from near Lynn.
That's all right SAID the Judge,
"b1t didn't think you knew me SO
we'll"
Afterwards, when the farmer fourd
out who he had driven from his place,
be was worried to death, and doesn''
know yet whether ne is to be II e
for trespass or contempt OF court.
