Yesterday shortly after 8 o'clock a
shifting engine on the Wilmington, Co
lumbia and Augusta railroad was SHOW
ing a train of cars On the siding at Ma
vassa station, five miles from the city,
when an extra train, bound for this city,

engine badly damaged.
A force of hands were Immediately
sent from this city to clear the track,
and accomplished their work about 6
O'Clock last evening, after which time
there was no interruption of traffic.
Of course, while the track was being
cleared it was necessary to transfer pas

LIS O'Clock p. m, to another train, which
caused a delay of about thirty minutes

For several years Miss Lucy Moore
has engaged in Horticulture at her home
on Dock and Seventh streets and has
made a splendid success of the bust
ness. We learn that her success has
been such that she had made prepara-
tons to carry on the business on an
extensive scale, and for this purpose
has purchased from Mr.. w. A. Wright
several acres of and near Twelfth and
Market streets, including the old toll
house, and will erect two large hot
houses and a cottage for her gar
dener and his assistants. One of the
hot houses is to be devoted entirely to
the culture Of roses and carnations and
the other will be used for general pur-
poses. The nursery will DE enclosed
with a neat fence, and Miss Moore in
tends to make it a credit to Whining
ton. In fact it will be a metropolitan
establishment, and We have no doubt
she will meet with the encouragement
and patronage such enterprise de-
serves.

Small Business

It is rather small business for. the
German military authorities to refuse
medals of honor to veterans Of the
war of 1S70-71, who AVE since become
American citizens. An application for
the medals by six Germa residents of
Milwaukee who served in the Sixth Pc.
meranian Regiment during the war has
just been denied. In n of the Tooth
anniversary Of the birth of William i,
the present Emperor has caused to be
struck off a large number of medals
for distribution among those who had
fought in the German ranks against
the French, but it appears hiatt the i'm
perial order stipulated that the medals
shall be given only to ex-soldiers liv-
ing in Germany.-Buffffalo CONNER

The Regular Monthly Meeting of the
North Carolina Society of the Colonial
DANES Was Held ~Yesterday-An En-
thusiastic and Interesting Session

The regular monthly meeting of the
North Carolina Society of Colonial DANES
held yesterday afternoon was a most i'm
portant and interesting one. This meet
ing evinced the fact, plainly and forcibly,
that interest and enthusiasm in this pa
triotic society is growing firmly and
steadily every day.
1t was at $3.50 o'clock when Mrs. Geo.
Wilson Kidder, the president, called the
meeting to order in the handsome and
magniicently appointed assembly room
of the society on North Front street.
The minutes of the previous meeting
were read by the recording secretary.
Mrs. A. M. Waddell. and after being APP
proved, the meeting was opened for the
transaction of business.
The president, Mrs. Kidder. who is a
member of the executive committee of
the National Society of the Colo
Mail Danes, made a thorough and
most interesting and instructive verbal
report describing the meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee, which meeting she
attended. held in Washington, d. c.,
last week.
Next several additions to the bylaws
were presented and adopted.
The president suggested the establish
ment of a library and reading room, which
suggestion was f~avorably received and
most enthusiastically discussed by diff
ferent members.
About q score of new members were
elected, and then the meeting adjourned.
NOTES ABOUT THE N. c. SOCIETY.
A full and detailed account of yester-
days meeting will shortly be made by
the historian of the society, Mrs. Emma
Maffitt.
The patriotic spirit which inspired the
members of the society to give. different
entertainments in the past to raise money
for the purpose of erecting a monument
over Cornelius Harnett, still prevails,
and there is now in the banks in this
city over $500 of this fund.
One OF the most interesting branches
of the society is the reading club, which
meets every other Tuesday evening.
The membership of the society grows
largely at every meeting. There are now
enrolled over 100 members.

Society of Colonial Danes

The executive committee of the Nat
was held last week in Washington, D.
c., and Mrs. Geo. Wilson Kidder, of
this city, a member of the committee
and the able president, of the North
Carolina Society, was in attendance.
The meeting was presided over by
Mrs. Howard Townsend, of New York
city, the national president, with Mrs.
William Is. Reed, of Baltimore, secre-
tary
Two most important questions were
brought before the session and dis
cussed and acted upon.
The first question was in regard to
the membership of the applicants from
the state of Maine, who did not want
to join the society on the basis of a
non colonial state, in support of their
request saying that Maine was origi-
naIly a portion of Massachusetts,. This
matter was tabled.
The next question was in regard to a
society of Colonial DANES in New
York city, which has a membership of
about forty and have nothing to do in
any way with the other society, rep
resented by the committee, which has
a membership in the thousands and
bears the same name as the other.
The meeting ecide to let this ques-
ton alone, taking no action whatever.
The executive committee is composed
Of one member from each of the so

In the forenoon the special committee
appointed to revise the constitution as
sembled at 1890 o'clock at the home of

museum were transacted.
"A WORTHY REQUEST.
To the confederates and their de-
pendants in North Carolina.
Cape Fear Chapter No. 1, of the
Daughters Of the confederacy, are ex-
tremely DESTROYS of securing relics, of
any kind, of that great struggle in
which our people were engaged for
-four long bloody years, a period, which
tested the manhood OF the south, and
which was immortalized on 50 many
bloody fields. 1t is a duty we w to
the gallant dead to gather up those
sacred relics, and carefully preserve
them, that posterity may know what
manner of men they were, who never
qualled against the most fearful odds,
but died where they stood, ~contending
for a principle dearer than life itself.
This chapter has appointed a Histori-
cal committee to solicit contributions
of sue articles, it matters not i'm what
form or shape they may be, whether
papers, accoutrements, or clothing, for
future preservation, and through the
kindness of the Wilmington Light In
fantry, a room in their arnOry has
been appropriated for that purpose,
where all such mementoes of a glorious
past, Will be sacredly preserved and
watched over. AS chairman of that
committee, I appeal to all in North
Carolina, who may have any articles,
to send them to my address Whining
ton, N. c., either as a gift to the So
ciety or as a loan, the object being to
keep forever fresh and green in our
hearts, the memory of those
"Who fought for the land their souls
adOred,
For happy homes and affairs free,
Their only talisman the sword
Thei only watchword, liberty"
Photographs of confederate officers
are solicited. State and city papers
are requested to copy this appeal, that
it may be more generally known.
