line which his company will build be-
tween Wilmington and Southport.
Mr.. Perry told a Messenger repre-
sentative yesterday that the contract

stock Of the company. The line will be
built from Southport to Navassa, where
it will connect with the Southern Bell
Telephone and Telegraph Company's
line running into the city. Poles for
six miles of the line have been already

MANTLE OF CAPE FEAR CHIvALRY
A Correspondent Seems to Think IL
Is Lost and Wants to Know Who
Will Regain and Wear 1.-THE Ef-
fort i'm Behalf OF Public Purity in
Wilmington.

a lady who is deeply interested in the
praiseworthy effort 20 rid the city of
some Of the Objectionable houses in the
city, on yesterday received the following
communication from a well known gen.
tleman Of the Second ward, and she
highly appreciates what he so aptly
says:
Alas, The long cherished and much
lauded mantle of Cape Fear chivalry
seems to be lost.
Who Will recover it and be worthy to
wear il in these latter days2
1T Is a crying shame on this entire
community that respectable people and
large tax payers should be forced to
fight daily TO shield their children from
indecent sights and language and to beg
in vain for protection from the powers
that be. The mayor says he is power
less to give any aid. In this instance,
he could exercise the despoIism Of the
car of all the RuSsias, and there would
not be a true man in this town who
would not uphold him in his actions.
"The feeling Of indignation Is daily in
creasing throughout the town against
the existing state of affairs in the
neighborhood of Fourth and Castle. If
the city judiciary is exhausted (as
Chief Justice Pearson once said Of the
state law. and this remark remains to
his everlasting shame) then 1t is time
for the people to make a law unto
themselves, as they did at the time of
the November troubles. This time it
will not be a war between the races,
but one between immortality and indie
cency, and decency and the taxpayers.
"A SYMPATRIZER
From the Second Ward
The following note was handed to
The Messenger for publication in this
connection:
'The Infamous Josie Drew who was
expelled from town in May last by in
dignant citizens has returned, and con-
tinues to be guilty of most shameless

she resides was as follows:

COTTON ELStEs;

New York, August 20.-The cotton
market opened firm and TO points

reports were very unsatisfactory as a
general thing and demand fo- spot
cotton in the south was officially shown
to be increasing. The receipts were
larger. but had been discounted 10 a
degree. Later. cables from Liverpool
reflected changing sentiment in that
market where the bears for some time
past have stuoborply resisted all ef-
forts from this side to bring about a
higher market. During the afternoon
the market ruled firm in the absence of

scarcity of supplies checked trading.

grades. There was a moderately good
business in contracts today during the

THE CUSTOM.

There will be big 'doins'' around
the Railroad meat market over which
Charles Buckius reigns supreme in
the course of the next few days.
1t has been the Gu stom of Mr. Buck
ius to remember his regular patrons
every year in some manner and this
year he will distribute whole lot of
good things among them. which will
make them keep the Railroad Meat
Market and Mr. Buckius in memory.
In the back part of his meat market
this morning. where he had conduct
ed Sentinel reporter to see the great
stock of turkeys. ducks and chickens.
there were piled four big boxes.
These boxes contained three hundred
and fifty quart cans of the famous
Booth oysters which he said he had
provided for his regular customers to
be distributed to them tomorrow.
Each family that has done trading
with him will be the recipient of one
of these cans of the best oysters i'll
the market and Mr.. Buckius says that
there is nothing he does during the
,ntire year which gives him the
pleasure that the distri button of this
little remembrance to his customers
does. He was as lively as a cricket
this morning. as he hurried about
great piles of turkeys. ducks and
chickens which are being served out
on orders to his patrons
Besides this immense amount of
poultry. probably twelve or fifteen
hundred pounds there were hung up
in the market proper about ten beeves
all handsomely dressed. besides NUT
ton and lamb and veal.
1t does man good to go into
good meat market where everything
