LAWLESS NEGROES.
Resist Arrest For Robbery and
Arson.

Wilmington, N. c., Oct. PA special
to the Star from Lumberton, N. c.,
says: A few nights ago Stubs store
in Ashpole, II miles southwest from
Lumberton, was robbed and burned.
Circumstances pointed to certain ne
groes. The matter has been under in
vestigation for several days. Yester-
day it was expected that several ne
groes would be arrested. The negroes
heard of it and determined to resist
arrest, and threatened to burn the
town. Last night about 100 assembled
in the village after dark and the whites
kept watch. Late in the night the ne
groes commenced shooting. the fire
was returned by the few white men
assembled. About so shots were fired,
but no one was injured. This after
noon the negroes commenced assem-
bling, heavily armed, and expressed
their determination to burn the town
tonight. Help was asked from Lum-
berton, and number of young men.
heavily armed, left this afternoon.
Young men are fastening to Ashpole
from the surrounding towns. The ne
groes are $50 strong, and at least 100
white men are already there. At 11:45
p. m information was received from
DR.. Brown of Ashpole, saying that they
had made the negroes leave. The white
men sent a messenger to them twice,
and they refused to leave. TIL third
me they were told that if they did
rot leave the whites would fire into
them. The men then retired, the white
men making them go in two directions.
DR.. Brown says he can hear shooting
in every direction, but cannot say
whether they will remain away or not.

There was a very lively set-to on
Main street, near the corner of Second
South yesterday afternoon, the prin-
cipals in the affair being Tod Goodwin
of the Tribune and DR.. Union Wor-
thington. But for the interference of
bystanders the fight would doubtless
have been TO a finish. because Tod. who
was the aggressOr, had his blood up
and the doctor was at once in the
same spirit.
The cause of the encounter was a re-
mark made by DR.. WOrthingtOn at the
banquet of the State Medical society
on Oct I. Judge Goodwin was down to
respond TO a toast, but was unable to
be present, and sent a courteous and
partly humorous letter of regret, which
was read at the banquet. DIR. Wor-
Ellington was substituted TO make the
response. and in the course of his re
marks said that he took the place of
one who was a shining light as an
after-dinner speaker. but who had out
grown his usefulness on all other
lines" Such a remark, coming from
member of the society, and applied to
one who had been specially honOred by
the organization, was considered in
very bad taste, but nothing was said of
it. DR.. WOrthington, however, after
wards repeated the remark, so that II
reached Judge Goodwin, and also his
son.
The latter was particularly indig-
nant, and yesterday, when he met the
InedicO, he could no longer contain his
wrath, but told him plainly just what
he thought of him. The doctor made a
pass at his opponent. Goodwin. in
turn, landed a blow on the chin of the
medico. who retaliated with a lick
upon the eyebrow of the scribe. Bits
of color were seen to gather as the
friends of both parties secured a sepa-
ration. and the crowd dispersed, but
the affair was discussed for a long
time about the streets.

ESTATE GIVEN THE EMPEROR.
The large estate at Cadinne has been
presented to Emperor William by
former District Counsellor Birkener,
and it was formally accepted by the
emperor this week, with the result that
the district chamber of Elbing has sent
the emperor a telegram of thanks. as
1t is expected the district will be large

Elblng and Tolkmit, in the province of
East Prussia, adjoining an inlet of the
Baltic called FriScheshaf. 1t covers
about 5000 acres, is beautifully wooded
and full of large game. but it has been
somewhat neglected. The value of the
estate IS estimated at l, 200,00 marks.
Throughout Germany unusually cold
and stormy weather has prevailed all
this week. There has been much snow
in the eastern and northern provinces.
The thermometer in some localities
