The residence of Mr.. A. G.
Banks, on West Fearing street,
was entered by a negro on last
Saturday night, whose intention
was to carry eff any thing of value
within sight. He failed to ac>
com plish his purpose, however,
as Mr.. Banks was awakened by
the screams of his little child
and frightened the thief away.
Mrs. NJ. A. McCurdy. one of
the most prominent ladies
of Edenton, spent last Sunday
with friends at this place. She
was returning from Baltimore
where she had been to select
Spring and Summer Millinery
and stopped here to take peep
at Elizabeth City and to shake
the hands of some old acquain>
tanCcs.
This morning (Friday) about
10 o'clock. Mr.. VIM. Root went
to the N. & S. depot with team
to get some mber, when the
horses became frightened at the
yard engine and ran, throwing
him out with such force that he
was killed instantly. Mr.. Root
came to Elizabeth City a few
years ago from North Dake ia,
and purchased the Dawson farm
near here. He was we'll known
and highly respected by the
people Of this city, who deeply
deplore his sad death. He was
about sixty years of age.
There was quite large gath
ering of people at Road street
Chapel on the evening of the
9th, to witness the "Mock Mar

the benefit of said Chapel. The

made up especially for the oc>
Casion, apd the girls were Dress
ed as fine as butterflies and made
as fine appearance as any bride
or bridesmaid we ever saw.
After the marriage, retresh>
ments were served, and all
seemed to enter into the enjoy>
ment ofthe occasion which made
it quite a social feast, as we'll as
a financial success. We learn
that the committee will repeat |
the entertainment soon when |
larger preparation will be made
to accommodate the good people
who viii patronze them on
their good work for the chapel.

Hon. Fred Moore.

Hon. Fired Moore, who resides at
Asheville, N. c., and is the judge Of
the superior court for the Asheville
district, has presided for the past two
weeks over the superior court here.
1t is the first time for many years
tina the full term OF a court here has
been occupied. Judge Moore, and in
this he has differed from many OF our
Judges, has shown a disposition to re-
main and attend to the court business.
There has been much business in the
way of motions disposed of, though be-
cause of the length of the cases tried,
not a great many have been disposed
of at this term
No Judge has ever come to this coun-
ty who has made a more agreeable i'm
pression. All the lawyers speak in
pleasant terms of his abilities. judicial
fairness and imparrxality, and were
encouraged to try matters before him.
Judge Moore is one of the youngest
Judges on the bench, being N thirty
one years old, and enjoys a high rep
utation as a strong lawyer able
jurist. He will remain in the .clIy To-
day the guest of Hon. George Roun-
tree, and leaves this evening for oamp-
son court.

The Messenger form time TO time has
noted with pleasure the steady pro-
gress of the enterprising firm Of Mrs.
candy manufacturers. The firm is
truly progressive, and from its estab-
lishment in 1877 TO the present time, it
has had a succession of successes until
now the concern is one of Wilmington's
most important business houses.
The latest stroke of enterprise on the
part of the firm is to embark in the
manufacture of candies on a large scale.
The manufacture of candy has always
been a part of h business, but it will
now be the leading feature. With this
end in View, Mr.. A. Muser, an expert
candy maker, formerly employed in
Huyler's famous establishment in New
York, has been engaged and he will
have charge of the factory with COM
petent assistants. He has been here a
week and the result is that Mrs.
Warren & Sons handsome confection-
cry store now has in stock a fine line
of Wilmington made candies, equal to
Huyler's.
Warren's establishment will manu-
facture all grades of candy, ranging
from ten cents to eighty cents per
pound. The line will embrace fancy
corrections, chocolates, bon-bOns, CO.
cOanut brittle, peanut brittle, taffies,
buttercups, etc, etc. Goods equal to
the best products of the metropolitan
factories will be made. Yesterday a
Messenger representative hooked over
the stock and samples of Warren's can
dies and he can say that he has
seen candies to excel them in quality.
The firm expects to make its candies
famous and will establish agencies
throughout North Carolina n a large
portion of South Carolina. The agencies
will be supplied with special show cases
with ground glass fronts bearing the
words, 'Warren's Candies" Already
large orders are coming in from North
and South Carolina for these fine can
dies.
In addition to the manufacture of
candy, Mrs. E. Warren & Son will also
make a speciality of ice cream for
which a splendid reputation has already
been established. A speciality will be
made of furnishing fancy cream fo1
weddings, receptions. dinners and en-
tertainments. 1t will be mad in all
colors and will be nodded in the shape
of men, women, ducks, anvils, hearts,
etc. Orders from parties either in or
out of the city will be promptly filled.
Fol their candy and ice cream fac
tory, Mrs. E.. Warren & Son have or
dered quite a lot of new machinery
and it is expected here on the next
Clyde Line steamer from New York.
Mrs. E.. Warren & Son occupy their
w handsome three story and base
ment brick building, on the southwest
corner of Front and Market streets
the Exchange Corner'-and their store
fixtures are among the most elegant in
the south.
On Wednesday or Thursday of next
week they will invite the ladies to call
at the establishment to see the process
of candy making and eat till they get
tired.

Recently, there has been organized a
large lodge of the order in Havana,
Cuba, and from last reports it promises
to be a success.
Two strong lodges have been organ
lied in AlaSka-one, Alaska Lodge No.
1, at Juneau, and the second, at Doug
las Island, called North Star Lodge,
No. 2. The latter gives promise Of
great success, being in the vicinity Of
the great Treadwell mines that operate
$50 stamps, I'll day n night and en-
ploy about 1000 men.
Though like all fraternal orders, the
Knights of Pythias made slow progress
during the long period of business de-
preston following 1893, yet it quickly
responded to improved conditions. The
net gain for the last two years was
81, SO9, thus bringing the total men,
bership up to sos, 500, not including
fifteen grand lodges yet to be heard
from. Everything now points to a
large increase during 1900.
At the recent convention of the SUI
preme lodge there was a large delega-
ton in Detroit, from California-it
came with a view to secure the holding
of the 1902 convention at the city of
San Francisco. 1t opened a splendid
room for headquarters, and dispensed
it's hospitality with a generous hand.
l. plOpoSiliOi " hiCC az IhC "

phans of the brothers who were killed

The endowment rank of the order
has made splendid progress during the
biennial term just closed. During that
period it has added 755 new sections.
increased the membership by 21,576,
bringing the total roster of that de-
partment up to ga, SIS. During the two
years ending June 80. 1900. it has paid
to the widows n orphans Of our
brethren, the sum of 81, APO, 918. 90,
which, added to the amount previously
paid since it's establishment, twenty
three years ago, brings the total
amount of relief thus furnished up to
s14, SOS, $500. Beginning IN a very small
way in 1877, it has steadily grown to
the position it now holds in the fore
front of kindred organizations, a mode
| for others to pattern by.
The nroject for the establishment OF
a Pythian Sanitarium at Hot Springs
Arkansas, received a strong push in
the direction Of success at the recent
supreme lodge meeting-it received q
we'll merited endorsement, thu en-.
abling its projectors successfully to ap-
peal to the general membership.

The Youn- White Man Who Was Ac-
ouittcd of Murder.

Richard Freeman, the young white
man who was tried and acquitted Of
the murder of Charles Chasten, in
court at Elizabethtown, Bladen coun-
ty, on Thursday last, has returned TO
this city. We understand that he will
try to get employment here. 1t will
be rendered that he was confined in
Jail here some time for safe keeping.
When he was first arrested, feeling in
Bladen was very bitter against him
and there were fears of lynching. In
fact, we learn that after he was &C
quilted, there was a movement on foot
to do him violence. On Friday night
Jailer Mills kindly allowed Mr.. Free
man to spend the night with him at
the Jail where he was so long a pris-
Oner.
