There is also some dispute as to the
section of the proposed law which puts
only democrats on as registrars of cleo

ing boards. 1t appears that this is be-
ing sharply discussed.
Your correspondent asked Lieutenant
Governor Reynolds (republican) what
was his party'S view as to the fran
chise amendment to the constitution,
and whether the people would ratify
1t at the polls. He said he believed
they would do so. He criticised the
election law proposed, saying it put the
entire matter in one party's hands,
giving the W. other parties no repre-
Sentation at all.
Petrea, a leading republican repre-
sentative, said he thought republicans
in the west would vote against the
amendment, but believed that in the
east and centre they would either vote
for it or be passive. He thinks the
populists will vote solidly for it, and
Lieutenant Governor Reynolds takes
the same view. Petree says that under
the new election aw it appears to him
to be easy to carry the amendment.

Algonquin Will be Here Next Month TO
be Painted

The United States revenu cutter Al
gonauin is to put into this port some
time during next month, after the 10th,
to be painted. The cutter will be a
stranger in these waters, but the ma
jor portion of her officers are well
known in Wilmington. In command
is Captain Smith, who was once here
as master Of the Morrill,, while Lieu
tenant J. E. Reinberg is the executive
officer.
Lieutenant Reinberg spent Saturday
and Sunday in the city with his fam
lily. He came over from Charleston, S.
c., where the cutter had to seek refuge
from last weeks storm. She was out
in the severest of the weather and
had a decidedly rough experience. Dur
ing all this she had to stick close to a
tow-the barge Protector, fitted up for
hospital work in Cuban waters and
placed in charge of Captain Smith to
be carried to Havana The barge had
on board a complete fumigating plant,
large quantities of disinfectants and
medicines and about half a hundred
cots.
One week ago yesterday the Algon-
quin put into Hampton Roads with its
tow, for a a anchorage. A fierce
wind Inc strong current of ice tore
the barge away from it's mornings and
carried it rapidly seaward. The cutter
went in pursuit, and captured her at
ter a chase of about five hours, during
which time the officers and men suf-
fered terribly from exposure to the
intense cold. Then, it was found too
perilous an undertaking to go back, so
the cutter proceeded to sea.

THE TRUCK AND COLD WEATHER
The strawberry Crop Rather Benefited
Than Hurt-Damage to Truck

DR.. E. Porter, of Rocky Point, one
of the largest strawberry growers and
truck planters in this section, was in
the city yesterday.
He states that the recent cold wealth
err did not injure the strawberry plants
but was rather a benefit to them from
the fact hat the cold retarded them in
the budding process and will prevent
them from blooming too early. 1t is
estimated lat the cold will put the ber-
ries back for at least two weeks and
the probability is hat when they bloom
the cold weather will have passed. 1t
is a singular fact that the strawberry
crop never fails, as when the earlier
crop is cut off the plants will reproduce
blooms and bring on a crop. DR.. Por-
ter tells us, however, that when the
blooms are killed, every subsequent
budding of the plants saps the life of
the plants.
The cold SNAP cut off the raddish and
pea crops, and other early vegetables,
and did considerable injury to lettuce.
Lettuce in the head was so affected that
it looks like it had been scalded. Let

STABBED HIS WIFE
Negro Man Drives His Wife From
Home and Then Follows and Assaults

Home and Then Follows and Assaults
Her
While in ~ drunken frenzy Sunday
morning a negro man, Josh Irving,
stabbed his wife twice, but fortunately
neither wound inflicted was of a seri-
Gus nature. Now Irving is in Jail to
be tried at the next term of the crimi-
nal court.
Sunday morning Irving went to JUS
tice Fowler and swore out warrants for
Dan Leak and Lucille Davis, both COL
-ored, charging them with assaulting
him, and exhibited his head, which was
badly beaten up, in confederation of his
accusation.
A few hours later the Davis woman
also went to Justice Fowler and took
out two warrants against Irving, al
leging that he stabbed his wife and will
fully damaged her (the Davis wo-
man's) residence. All parties concern
ed were arrested and tried yesterday.
It seems that Irving was entirely to
blame. He drove his wife from home
and, after she had taken up her abode
at the Davis woman's, he went after
her. She refused to accompany him,
and he broke in the house and stab
bed her twice, in the arm n back.
The negro man, Leak, came to the res
cue, and badly beat Irving.
Justice Fowler bound Irving over to
the next term of the criminal court.
Leak was adjudged guilty Of assault
and battery, but judgment was sus-
pended upon payment Of costs.
