DETECTIVE NOT CERTAIN.
Colored Murder Suspect Held in This
City Pending Investigation.


Although coming all the way from
Roanoke, Va, for the purpose of identi-
flying colored murder suspect held in
Wilmington and answering well the de-
scription of Harrison Thompson, who
committed murder ins, Loudon county,
Va, Detective William G. Baldwin was
unable to identify the prisoner. The
colored man gives his name as Burton
Barker, and the Virginia detective is
investigating the story told by the
man.
After making critical examination of
the prisoner Detective Baldwin said he
resembled very much the man wanted.
He was trife uncertain as to his iden-
tity, however, as the prisoner has scar
on the left eide of his neck, while the
description of the murderer gives him as
having scar on the right side of the
neck. Whether this discrepancy be-
tween the description and appearance of
the prisoner is an error or he is the
wrong man has not been determined.
He alleged that he belonged in Franklin
City, near Washington. For short
time prior to his arrest he lived over
Eleventh street bridge.
The colored suspect will be held pend
ing further investigation.

years ago at farm on Indian river, in

where the remainder OF his days were

lures of Genuine Interest.
An army of amusement seekers attended
the opening of the Frank C. Bostock Mid
way Carnival last night at the National
Baseball Park. The great variety OF amuse-
ment features which have peen gathered
together by the management ensures the
success of the carnival.
In the arena pavilion an excellent ex-
hibtion of trained wild animals was given.
Performing dogs and monkeys that danced
boxed, rolled baskets. and punched bags,
were shown by Bobby Mac. and troops of
trained leopards. bears. and African lions,
performing dogs and monkeys, and an
elephant displayed their accomplishments
in the ring.
On the streets of Cairo" an open air
performance was given of dancing der
wishes. Arabian gun-twisting, and Eastern
sword play. Many of the pleasure seekers
rode the camels and the elephant.
In the theatre the Oriental dance, free
from the vulgarity that is usually cxh!b-
tied, was given by ten Oriental women 10
the sound OF either and cymbals.
Opposite the streets of Cairo are the
streets of all nations where Japanese
acrob2ts perform and a Ch lese prestidig-
itateur displays tricks of sleight-of hand.
In the Hindoo theatre the Nautch dance
is an attraction, given in conjunction with
the inexplicable feats of three Hindco
conjurors. An interesting feature is the
realistic cinematograph screen pictures OF
the South African war. The Moorish PAL
ace is place of illusions, where head.ess
women and other mirror effects ale pIo-
duced. The educated horses drew many
spectators, and the wonderful feats of
Bonner showed almost human intelli-
gence.
Womball's menagerie is repiete with
strange animals gathered from all parts
Of the world. A vaudeville performance
of dancing and singing is conducted in the
German village. Besides these there are
the crystal maze, the campo of the gypsies,
and Wild West SHOW, headed by the va
qui Indian chief Carla.
In addition to all these attractions there
are many others, among them being the
Venetian gondoliers, the racing yachts,
which initiate the motion of n ship at
sea, and the Chiquita merry go round. the
smallest ever built, intended for the use
of the children.
The carnival will continue for five days
and nights, with afternoon and evening
performances.
The out of door features, which have
place in the centre of the midway, were
not shown last night. but will be ready
today. These include seventy FIVE foot
dive into fourfoot net. performance on
a wire suspended seventy-tive feet from
the ground, unicycle act in which the
cyclist will ride up a spiral incline and
performance on the spiral incline in which
a woman locked in a large sphere rolls
to the summit.
The management announces that the
tickets giving admission to the grounds
issued for Autograph privileges, which
owing to the absence of the last named
attractions, did not give the promised
amusement to the holders, will be accepted
at to-days performance.
