Captain Harper Purchases u New
to Help the Wilmington In
Transporting Passengers and Freight

There is soon to be another acquisi-
ton to Wilmington's line of craft that
plough up and down the Cape Fear.
The new conner will be as trim, as any
Of them, though not as large, and will
play a conspicuous part in the traffic
between Southport, Fort Caswell, Car
DINA Beach and Wilmington. Her
object will be t act as an assistant to
the steamer Wilmington, and like this
boat will be owned and run under the
direction of Captain John w. Harper.
Captain Harper has not long since
returned from a trip north, and while
there he obtained the new boat, which
at present is ice bound at Peekskil on
the Hudson river. The captain will go
after his purchase within w weeks
and bring her around to this port. The
voyage will take about five days, stops
being made at several points along the
route The crew on this initial trip
will all be from this city and composed
of Mr.. Philip Plat, engineer, MI. Geo.
Warren, mate and Mr.. John Harper
Jr. OF course, Captain Harper will
be in command. Mr.. Plat will only
act as engineer on this trip, his ser
vices being too valuable aboard the
Wilmington. However, the position
will be we'll filled by Mr.. John Harper,
Jr., who is a capable young mechanic.
The new boat at present bears the
name Manila" but she is to be re-
christened the Southport" quite an
| appropriate title for for a craft plying
| between here and Southport. She is a
| youngster, but a speedy and substan-
tial one, and has capacity for one hun
dred passengers, besides plenty of
storage room for freight. For the &C
commodation Of passengers are two
cozy and we'll appointed cabins, one for
ladies and the other for gentlemen.
In length she is seventy-five feet,
about that of the Marion, and her
beam is fifteen feet. Her draugh is
four feet, with speed of twelve knots
an hour.
The Manila" SO o to be the
Southport" is said to ride the waves
beautifully, and makes quite a pretty
sight on the water, being of a pure
| white color with hard wood finish.
She was constructed at a well known
shipyard in Peekskill just seven
months ago, and is solid in make up,
besides possessing modern appoints
| ments. Her master will be Cap. Peter
Jorgensen, who has served faithfully
as mate of the Wilmington for several
years.

FIGHT OVER OFFICE
Judge Timberlake Recognizes the
Democratic officials I'm GreeneCOunty
The Mandamus Proceeding Wrought
by the FusiOnists to be Heard at Ken
ansyille. March 18th

Solicitor Rodolph Duffy, Esq, re-
turned last evening from Snow Hill
where he has been attending tie su-
perior court of Greene county, which
convened last Monday, His Honor
Judge Timberlake presiding. He tells
us that the criminal docket was clear
ed up but the civil causes went over by
reason of the confusion resulting from
the contentious of two sets of office
holders-democrats and fusionists.
AT the election on the Sth Of last
November the original returns gave a
majority to the fusion candidates
for the house of representatives, sher-
if, clerk Of h court, register of deeds
and county commissioners. Upon ap-
plication to Judge W. S. OBJ. Robin
son, republican, he ordered a recount
Of the votes and when the count was
made it was found that the democratic
candidates had a majority and certifi-
Gates of election were duly issued to
them. The democratic board Of county
commissioners organized and indicted
the democratic officials into office. Then
followed a great contention to get pos
session Of the offices, the fusionists re-
fusing to surrender them.
The democratic sheriff didn't stand
pon ceremony and broke the lock to
the sheriff office and took possession.
! The former clerk of the court who was
a democrat who ran on the populist
ticket, surrendered his Office to demo-
cratic clerk, and h democratic regis
ter Of deeds got possession of his Of
fee by reason Of a row in the office,
the fusion register running out and
leaving the democrat and his friends
in charge.
The fusionists swore out a writ of
mandamus before Judge Timberlake
to dispossess the democratic officials.
In their complaint the fusionists set
up that the recount of votes was void
and of no effect, and the democrats put
in answer setting forth their title and
right to the offices. Judge Timberlake
issued an order recognizing the demo-
cratic officials, without prejudice to the
rights Of the ~fusionists, and will hear
the case on it's merits on Thursday,
March 18th at Kenansville, where the
superior court of Duplin ~convenecs on
Monday, March 18th.
The democratic candidate for the
house Of representatives, Mr.. j. E. w.
Sugg, was given his seat by the house
OF representatives, which declared the
contest in his favor, and it is said
there is no doubt but that all the dem
ocratis officials of Greene will be de-
clared the rightful possessors of the
offices.
