BIG STEAMSHIP ASHORE
British Steamer Crusader, Inward
Bound for Cotton, On IL ShOal OFF
Southport.

The British steamship Crusader, IA
ward bound from Philadelphia to take
on a cargo of cotton from Alexander
Sprunt & Son, yesterday morning early
ran aground shortly after passing Fort
Caswell, while rounding the channel
off Battery island, and despite efforts
made on two occasions yesterday and
last night to pull the steamer back
into the channel the vessel is still far
aground, on a bed Of oyster shells.
The Crusader is OF 2,744 tons burden
and her master is Captain Melbourne,
coming light to this port for cargo.
The vessel was coming in under her
own steam and the reason fer the ac-
cident has not been learned.
During the morning yesterday the
tugs Sea King, Blanche and Jones pull
ed on the Crusader without effect and
during last nights high tide another
attempt was made to pull the steamer
back into the channel by the same
tugs, assisted by the steamers VIII
mington and Atlantic, but the combin-
ed efforts of these five did not serve
to move the big steamer.
During today the Crusaders supply
of coal will be Hghtered and it is
hoped that this will enable the tugs to
pull her back into the channel.

ton of n. G.. National Guard.

In a letter received by Capt. W. F..
Robertson of the Wilmington Light
Infantry, from Col H G. Bragaw, COL
one1 of the Second regiment, the lat
ter copies an extract from the me1n-
oranda of the inspection Of the North
Carolina national guard in so far as it
relates to the local company, and the
report is seen to be very compliment
airy, indeed, to the soldierly bearing
and appearance of the members Of the
w. L. [.
The extract from the memoranda is
as follows:
Physical appearance very good,
the men being managers, merchants
and railroad employees. The command
is progressive, good in efficiency and
could be depended upon against mo-!
All would respond to CALL Company
commander reports that physical eX-
aminations are properly made as pre-,
scribed by war department. The ar
mory was very good, being an attract
i've club house The company was
assembled in large yard adjoining. IN
dividuaI lockers were clean but in dis
order Storage facilities adequate, but
there was seemingly no sense OF res
possibility for property if soiled OF
worm
Col. Bragaw concludes by saying:
'tSuch action as may be necessary to
remedy defects which are noted herein
you will put in effect"

Constable Savage had one of the
hardest fights he every met with yes
| terday morning when he went to
serve warrant on Mollie Taylor,
colored, charging her with assault,
the warrant having been sworn out
by A. Goldberg, who alleged that
the woman attacked him in her yard
on Tuesday evening and drove him
from the premises with a rake.
The woman was found at her
home in Brooks alley, between 8th
and 9th and Red Cross and Camp
bell streets and she listened patient
ly to the reading of the warrant and
agreed to accompany the officer to
Magistrate Furlongs court to have
the hour Of her trial set. Later how
ever she evidently reconsidered her
decision and she forced the consta-
BILE to demand that she accompany
him.
Then began a terrible hand to
hand struggle, which lasted ten min
utes or more, the woman using dish
pans and other kitchen utensils in
her futile effort to avoid arrest. The
officer did not strike the prisoner
but used ever means in his power to
get her under control, which he fin
ally accomplished.
Mollie then went with him quietly
to Magistrate Furlong's court, but
when the door was reached she had
to be forced into the building and
this resulted in another terrific bat
tie between the two. The woman
tore Constable Savage's shirt from
off his body and she scratched and
bit at him having inflicted a painful
wound in the back of his left
hand.
Finally with the help of others she
was subdued for the second time and
forced into the court room. She
was bound over to Jail until today
under $50 bond for trial on the
charge against her.
Constable Savage expressed his
determination yesterday of swearing
out three warrants against the wom-
an after her trial today. He will
charge her with resisting an officer,
assault and battery, and damage to
personal property.
Mollie Taylor is a giantess in size,
weighing nearly 230 pounds and she
is a tigress in strength, her strug-
giles having given the big consta-
BILE one of the hardest battles OF his
life.

JAPANESE DROWNED
Especial to the Bulletin)

Wailuku, Maui, June IA Japanese
fisherman by the name of Obayashi
was found dead on the Kahuiui
beach, near the fishery, last Monday
morning by Policeman Manuel SeQue-
Ira. Obayashii was until recently a
fisherman at Maalaea Bay He was
seen at natives houses at Kahului last
Sunday evening about o'clock in a
half intoxicated condition. He felt
tired and expressed desire to sleep
somewhere in the yard near the house,
but he was told to move out. That was
the last seen of him until next morn
ing when the kahului sleuth discov-
cred his remains lying on the sandy
beach. The doctor was of the opinion
that the man was accidentally drowned
because water was found in great
quantities in his stomach, which
wouldn't be the case if he were foully
murdered and dragged or thrown into
the sea. Since the doctor was explicit
in his belief that death was due to
drowning, me coroner's jury likewise
were of the same belief and they re.
turned a verdict that death was due
TO accidental drowning.
