AN ABUNDANCE OF GAME.
Weather Has Driven the birds From
Swamps to the Fields.

IL has been some time since the city
was so well supplied with wild turkey and
game. Nearly all dealers have an abund-
ance of game on hand, much larger than
the stock they usually carry.
As an explanation FOR the large game
supply, it is said the high waters and
rough weather in the swamps have driven
me pirds 10 the upland, where they have
fallen ready prey TO hunters How long
the market will eoatiuue to be loaded i
not known. but there is an opportunity
now for most everybody to feast on
game.

MASS MEETING OF NEGROES.
Resolutions Deuouncing Action of Re
publicans for Expelling Isaac Smith.

Resolutions Denouncing Action of Re-
publicans for Expelling Isaac Smith.
Pursuant to the call for mass meet
ing of the colored citizens of the city.
to take action on the excluding of Isaac
Smith. Il colored member of the House
of Representatives by the Republicans
from their caucus. large number of
prominent negroes met Mt the Traps
building. corner of Fayetteville and Davie
streets. last night. The meeting was to
have been held in the court house, but
owing to the work going on there other
quarters had to be found. Rev. r. III.
w. Leak acted as president and ]. r..
Anderson as secretary. There We're about
forty present.
Parson Leak explained the object of
the meeting and delivered some very lot
shot into these white Republicans who
he said had committed great wrong
and done Smith a grave injustice lie
considered that he would be equally
guilty if he did not raise his voice aud
protest in no unmistakable terms TO this
gross outrage which had been perpetrat-
ed on citizen of his own color and
a true representative of his race. His
Wtlt tNtNtftu
others followed on the same line.
The meeting concluded by unanimously
adopting the following resolutions:
Whereas, we believe in decent govern
ment and Independent thought believ-
ing as we do without it. that no race Of
people can rightly or justly be free; there
fore, be is resolved.
LIST. That we condemn the action of
the so-called Republican caucus in ex-
Guiding Hon. Isaac III. Smith from the
deliberation of the caucus, as he ha.
shown conclusively, that he is true
representative and Republican, doing
only what he thinks best for the best
interest of his State and race.
2nd. We commend the manly and
statesman-like course the Hon. |. III.
Smith has taken believing it is the only
course that will benefit us as a race.
Bird. We pledge our Endorsement. and
do indorse every word the Hon. |. H.
Smith spoke in the legislative hall on
yesterday, when he rose to a question of
personal privilege.
4th. We ask the other colored mem
bers, both in the House and Senate, to
come to the rescue of their friend and
brother and ally themselves with the
better element of this grand old COM
monwealth and show to the world that
we are no longer to be led by men who
care nothing for us or our interests save
our votes.
9th. We condemn and will resort to
all honorable means to appease fractional
fights among our people, believing than
these fractional fights have done more to
injure us. as a race, than anything else.
9th. We realize the Importance of
unity of all the colored representatives
in all matters that concern the race;
therefore, we urge this thought upon
each of them; and like the Hon. /. II.
Smith, let their voices be. heard in the
legislative hail. not on things. only, which
concern the party, but on those Things
that concern the State and the lace.

o'clock. Judge George III. Brown, Jr.,
presiding.
The grand jury were charged and the
court got down to business.
A large number of cases which had
been continued from previous terms We're
mol pressed. as defendants could not be
found. having departed for parts I'M
known and leaving their bondsmen to
foot the bill.
The afternoon session of the court
was entirely taken up by the hearing
of the case against Lizzie Blake of

There appeared to be an unlimited num-
Der of witnesses to testify. The case
was concluded, however, before the adj
iournment of court and the jury turned
over TO the sheriff. Court will meet this
morning at $50 o'clock.
One of the first things that the Judge
did after converting court was to issue
the following order:
ut appearing TO the court that the saw
dust on the floor of the court room is
a serious obstruction to the public bust
ness and menace and injury to the
health of all persons required to be in the
court room. it is ordered that the same
be removed by the sheriff and that the
floor be cleansed and cocoa mating put
down to deaden the noise The expense
to be paid by the county of Wake.
sc. II. BROWN, JR.,
Judge"
This action was taken as the court
room floor was deeply covered with saw
dust, which has been, the usual custom
for years.
Last night workmen were busy carry
ing out the saw dust and laying the
mating.

NEWARK POST OFFICE TROUBLE

POSTMASTER UNABLE
TO PERFORM DUTIES SATIsFAC-
TORILY-WILL BE REMOVED.
There is trouble on hand at the post
Office, at Newark. Del, which has re-
suited in the suspension Of Postmaster
William II. Smith from his duties.
Mr.. Smith has had charge Of the Of
fee for about two and a half years,
and upon every quarterly settlement
with the government has had trouble
with his accounts. 1t is not alleged
that Mr. Smith was ever short in his
monies, but that his books were SO
mixed up that It was almost impossible
TO straighten them out.
Mr.. Smiths bondsmen finally became
tired Of the constant annoyance and
took charge of the Office on Monday
placing Assistant Postmaster S. B.
Herdman in charge pending Mr.
Smiths removal. There is scramble
now going on among the Newark Re
publicans over the selection Of man
to I'LL the office.
