FEW OF THE SOLDIERS HERE.
A Drunken Provost Guard Gets INTO
Serious Trouble

Less than one-fourth of the Second
North Carolina regiment is now in camp
mere.
The absentees are either Insulating
in the society of home folks or on their
way to their homes. Most of them are
already there, though quite large num-
Der left here yesterday for the west.
Since the departure of the troops the
race difficulty has subsidized. The only
trouble that has arisen since then was
caused Wednesday by drunken provost
on Wilmington street. While ON guard
he held up several negroes and made
them get off the street on threat OF iun-
ming them through with bayonnt. An
other soldier, not a guard, encouraged
him in this conduct
They were arrested by the police
locked up in the guard house and tried
yesterday morning by the mayor. The
evidence against the guard was suff!
cient to bind Inn over to court for assault
with deadly weapon, but the mayor
agreed to turn him over to the military
authorities on condition that he be court
martialed.
This Col. Burgwyn promised should be
done

MIR. BRADSHAW DISMISSED.
The Penitentiary's Most Competent Off
cial Turned Out.

| Politics caused another head to drop
at the penitentiary yesterday.
So great has become the demand for
place that the best and most efficient
| pmnlove of the institution not even ex-
cepting the superintendent, was turned
out to supply pie to hungry fusion
mouths.
| The executive committee knew this and
| Superintendent Mewborne knew it; that
is why they didn't have the bravery
to do it openly, boldly and above board.
But that is not their way of doing
business Certainly that is not the way
they yesterday dismissed Mr.. w. j.
Bradshaw.
Mr.. Bradshaw is a railroad man, one
of the very best in the South. He
has helped build nearly every road that
has been constructed in this State within
the past twenty years. And in this
capacity he has long been in the employ
of the penitentiary. He is a good mana
ger. an executive officer of ability and Il
fine disciplinarian. He has always con-
trolled his men better and with more
ease than any other supervisor in the
service.
Rut the trouble, with the fusionists,
was that he was a Democrat. 1t did
not matter that he was not an active.
offensive PARTISAN; he was a Democrat
and that settled it.
So the executive committee, on New
borne's recommendation, yesterday
turned Bradshaw out. They did this by
deciding to stop all roalroad work for
the present and take Mr.. BradshaW's
men to the farms This they said would
leave him without men and his services
would no longer be required.
1t is understood that new man will
be appointed at an early day to take
Mr.. Bradshaw's place.

ILLICIT STILL DESTROYED.
Was Being Operated in Granville Coun-
ty-It Was a Large One.

Deputy Collector J. w. Perkins and
posse made a raid in Granville county
Wednesday night and landed a big
juicery. 1t was located about $50 yards
from Woodland church, near the Wake
county line. A path from the church led
down to the still.
The ''juicery" was in full blast when
the officers arrived. A negro and a
white man were there, and were so sur
prised that they could not make their
escape.
The white man disclaimed any con-
nection with the illicit apparatus and
stated that he stopped there to play cards
for tobacco; that he had lost all he had,
and being tired had decided to rest. The
negro, however, unbosomed himself at
once. He said that he was running the
still and that it was the property of the
white man, his companion. He said
he had been pulling fodder at soc a day
and that he was offered Toe a day to
run the still, and he had taken the
job on account of the raise
The still and fixtures were promptly
destroyed. The capacity of the still was
100 gallons, and was one of the largest
ever cut up in the district The worm
attached to it was so large that two
men could not turn it over. One thous-
and gallons of beer and ten gallons of
corn whiskey We're also destroyed.

A MATTER FOR THE POLICE.

Boothlacks are good thing. But
there can be too much of even a good
thing. The corner of Martin and Fay
etteyille streets (Johnson's corner) has
too much of the bootblacks. They con
gregate there in such numbers as TO be
Il positive nuisance. Yesterday there
were no less than eighteen there in one
bunch, and to amuse themselves and
while away the time they had an old
bicycle which they were taking turns at
riding. One very narrowly missed run
ming over a lady. These are young,
thonghtless colored boys, and one can
hardly blame them. The fault is with
the police for allowing them thus to con-
gregate in such numbers and play on
the streets.
