INQUEST
A Colored Boy Died Yesterday with
Lockjaw Supposed to Have Been
Caused from q Blow with a Stick
Across His stomach.

DR.. c. D. Bell, coroner OF New Han
over county. was called on yesterday
to hold mis- third inquest this week.
Charles Henry Nichols, a colored boy
aged about nine years, died of lockjaw
yesterday morning at 407 Nixon street,
and his death was supposed to have
been the result Of a blow with a stick
across his stomach, at the hands OF an
other boy. Alex M~arfarlane, also aged
about 9 years.
The boys named and some others
were playing policeman on Sunday
and were arresting each other, using
sticks as ''billies." During h play
the Macfarlane boy received a painful
blow in the stomach and he suffered
great pain till he died.
The corone summoned the following
jury of inquest to investigate the case:
j. ]. Sheehan. foreman, l.. l. Middle
ton. secretary. E. c. Dew, j. B. Elkins,
]. w. NJ. Ahrens. and w. H. Batson.
The dead boys mother, Mary Eliza
Nichols. testified that she gave her boy
five cents to &c to an ice cream saloon
and that he met a numbe of boys and
was injured in the play as mentioned
above. She also testified that three
weeks g he stuck a splinter in his
foot and that he had suffered very
much with it. She looked for the splin-
ter but could lot find it and it cause
the foot to tester and run some. The
foot then appeared to get better.
DR.. j. II. Aston. the colored physi-
clan who attended the case, testified
that he was called to the boy on Ion
day and that he was suffering with
lockjaw. He was asked if he knew
that the boy had received any other
injury than the blow in the stomach
and he said he had been informed that
he ran a splinter in his foot three
weeks age but he failed to find it upon
examination.
Drs. Bell. Mcmillan and other ply
sicians examined h boy, and it was
intended to perform an autopsy but
they decided not to do so. as it was
their opinion that the boys death was
caused by lockjaw brought on by the
splinter which he ran in his foot
The jury returned a verdict that the
boy came to his death from lockiaw
brought On from a cause unknown to
them.
Pending the investigation the Nacfar-
lane boy was arrested and locked up
at the station house, but after the in
quest and the expression of opinion by
the doctors his release was ordered.

swept away by a flood. and landed, in
tact. upon Rochelle's land. Ray urged
Rochelle TO keep the bridge, and they
fastened 1t with locks and chains to
trees and stakes. Officers went there
yesterday and the bridge was sur
rounded. Today men were put at work
to take it to pieces. 1t will be taken to
the old site and put up again.

Rev. DIR. p. H. Hoge writes in high
commendation OF Rev. DR.. Egbert w.
Smiths recent book entitled THE Greed
Of Presbyterians." Other divines have
also praised it highly Dr. Hoge says
it is fascinating" and is "a timely
contribution toNthe discussion Of the
day" DR.. Smith is pastor in Green's
boro and is one of the Jour gifted sons
Of the late pastor there Rev. DR.. Smith
Rev. DR.. A. C.. Dixon, the North Car
olina distinguished Baptist minister,
now at Ruggles Street church, Boston.
Recently on a Sunday lie preached to a
crowded church upon lis Christian
Science a Humbug?" His contention
was that it was plainly that and MOTH
ing else. We copy from a short report:
"Christion Science is pagan, not
Christian, and it can be readily seen
that when Mrs. Eddy declares that
matter has no existence she simply
echoes The teaching of pagan philoso-
ply.
Christian Science shows itself to be
a humbug in that it claims to be the
religion II Jesus Christ, while assert
ing tha il was discovered and revealed
to the world for the first time by a
woman about thirty-ive years ago.
According to the precepts Of this cult
the world from the time Of Christ UP
to the advent of Mrs. Eddy has been
in darkness, it has had to wait 1900
years for the light vouchsafed by a
woman, who frankly confesses that she
once humbugged patients by treating
them with unnedicated pills, before II
could know the real religion Of Jesus"
Major General Chaffee's report Of the
campaign in China is not calculated to
put a premium upon what is termed
Christian civilization" He gives facts,
particulars that are highly d~iscredita-
BILE to the alleged Christian nations
The Americans were restrained. But
read what he says of the wholesale
looting and the murder Of Chinese wo-
men and children. Here is one shor
extract, which you can read and reflect
upon:
1T is safe to say la where one real
Boxer has been killed since the capture
of Pekin fifty harmless coolies or labor-
ers on farms, including not a few wo-
men and children, have been slain. No
doubt the Boxer element is largely mix
ed with the mass of population, and
by Staying a lot one or more Boxers
might be taken in"

Jacket Store Broken Open and
Robbed Last Tuesday Night-Money
and Goods stolen-1he Burglars Cap
rured Last Night.

Last Tuesday night Mr.. George o.
iGaylor's big racket store" on North
Front street, was entered and robbed.
THE burglars priced open the back
door and after getting in they broke
open the money drawer. secured s. or
81 in cash, and stole quite a lot of
goods.
Last night two negroes named Early
IScott and James Edwards were arrest
led and locked up at the station house
on the charge Of committing the burg
llary. Last night at 8 o'clock Chief OF
Police John ]. Furlong came across the
negroes. at Front street market ana
when hi approached them, Scott yelled
to Edwards look out" and both ran.
lScott ran down. through the market
Ialley to Water street, up Water and
Through the alley by Worth's ice house
to Dock street. Chief Furlong vas
lclose on his heels and was yelling
catch him. On Doc street between
Front and Water streets a young white
man tackled the negro and both rolled
over in a heap. Before the thief could
lget up and get off again. Chief Fur
long got his clutches on him. Scott
was rugged out from head to foot in
Racket Store goods. His suit OF clothes
and even his socks were Mr.. Gaylocd's
property. He claimed that he bought
the goods from James Spencer.
James Spencer ran and made his es-
cape when scott CAV the alarm but at
IL o'clock last night Captain n j.
Williams captured him in Sneeten's
saloon on Front street, opposite the
market. He a changed his cl,thes
for a ragged suit but a lot of goods
was recovered from him later He
lstated that he had bought them from
lScott. He told Chief Furlong that he
had not seen Scott last night.
The negroes will probably hy a
hearing before Alderman H. P. West,
mayor pro tenn, when the city court
meets this morning at $50 O'Clock.

cred and had IL not developed that the

CONCLUSION.
We desire to express or appreciation
Of the many kindnesses shown Us oS
the citizens OF Wilmington,
Vile and Southport
While we were not directed 10 name
the time OF encampment We oeiieSe We
areadvised OF the time which VIII De
most acceptable to all concerneu,
therefore respectfully recommend NAT
the encampment be held by regiments
in the following order and ume
Second regiment 10th TO 18TH
July inclusive.
Third regimen, Goth July to Soth July
inclusive.
First regiment s1st July to 10th Au-
gust inclusive.
From what we have seer and heard
we are OF opinion that an encampnen.
of the guard his summer is absolutely
necessary and therefore recommend
that IL be had. To fail to have the en-
campment would be such a disappoint-
ment hat il would seriously impair the
efficiency of the guard. Its omission
this year would give no ground tor lhe
hone of our having another and as the
hone OF having an encampment Is the
next hest thing to having ii the loss OF
10th would be depressing n mis-
chierous.
