EVANGELIST LE1TCH ASSAULTED. He Is Attacked by a Texan for an Alleged Insult to the letter's Wife- Rev. Thomas H. Leitcb, the South Carolina evangelist, who is well known in Wilmington, -was assaulted by Scott, a prominent lawyer, at Scottsville, Texas, recently. The following telegram to the Fort Worth Gazette will be read with interest here: 1 Last night during the, services in the tabernacle a snake was discovered to be in the building.

It ran near to where Mrs. Scott was sitting and she, becoming frightened made a small outcry, which caused some disturbance in the meeting. Mr. Leitch went at once to Mrs. Scott, cause of the excitement; told her that the devil was a snake, and that she, was on holy ground and would therefore not be harmed.

About this time the was --v quite a rattler, ran; over the feet of a young lady who was sitting next to Scott, and thev hnth pnHcavnrcrt tn'or nnr ft it mav tn tintinn ioHtr f- then said to Mrs. Scott, "If I were in vnnr nlar nrrtnlH lorlw Qh r-lri plied "I am a lady, but you are no gentleman, Mr. Scott was not in the building at timA that Viie nnrroH Kit 1 An fc" UV.V. 1 1 V.Va lUI ICaVlUg IT ennn Qfrorraivifl oAiTnUt nil a.

1 The greatest fight that occurred under prize ring rules takes place at Netf Orleans- to-night. The purse and -stakes are the largest ever contested for, and the reputation of the two giants who will contend for the championship and the money has excited the interest of millions of people in both America and Europe. I In Wilmington, as else where, the fight is the leading topic of discussion, and the result is awaited with tVlA lltmntf atlTltir nmninne ora ivMaI and while Sullivan is still the favorite, there are not a few who predict that UCorbett will be the winner. He is said to be in superb condition, is very scientific and expects by superior agility to keep out of the way of the "big fellow's" terrific rushes until be tires him out. when he hopes to' "knock him out" at his leisure.

In New Orleans Sullivan's friends are still betting about ten to eight on him. and many of them believe he will whip Corbett in ten rounds. BYRD At Helena. Aneust 20th. 1892.

SPEAKING AT WADES BO RO. Gov." Erum Demolished by Cap t.v Alex- i ander A Weak Demonstration by Tntrd Party Men. Special Star Correspondence.

i Wadesboro. N. Sept. 5. Dr.

W. P. Exum arrived here last Saturday even ing from Rockingham, where he spoke that dy. H6 met with a cold reception i here; not a man of the Third party met him. He was warmly enter tained by the Young Democratic Club of this place.

In fact, although his party did not think enough of him to call, he -was agreeably entertained by the young Democracy daring his entire stay here leaying Monday night for Monroe. I His party endeavored to make some demonstration by a horse-' back procession," which was a very in significant affair, being only one hundred and seventy-seven in line sixty of them were negroes and forty of the whites were minors not old enough to vote and led by Bill Kelly, a Republi can who lives in South Carolina, and a more motley crew you do not gene rally see. It was the understanding that the speaking should take place at 1.30 o'clock; but before that time (while Capt. Alexander was eating dinner) Exum made his exit, and the crowd was seen going to the speaking ground. Capt.

Alexander being informed of the fact soon followed. The doctor spoke -for one hour, or rather made a har- rangue, one of the poorest apologies for a speech taking up no issue at ajl and a complete failure as a speech. Lzum attempt at speaking does him no credit, but brings sensible men back into line. Capt. Alexander made a plain, sensible and convincing talk, mak ing the issues plain and simple to all.

Dr. Maynard, a thirdite, for Congress, made an attempt, but his remarks were nearly all extracts from the Progressive Farmer. Exum claims Wayne by over two thousand majority, and says he will carry this county (of which he was never, more mistaken in his life) and that he will beat both Democrats and Republicans, land carry the State by a good majority. "Ignorance is bliss," and next November he and his bosom friend. Dr.

Maynard, will wish they had never entered the campaign. They will be like the Irishman said ot the last rose of December, "left all alone blooming by themselves." J. Cheap Excursions NortL. by the A. L.

DEMOCRATIC STATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. Encouraging Advices From all Parts of tne State Bepublicana Assembling for Their State Convention. 1 Special Star Correspondence. Raleigh. N.

Sept, 6.i-The Democratic State Executive Committee met at the headquarters of the chairman, in this city, at noon to-day. There were thirty-one members present, representing the various sections of the State. JUDGE MCRAE ENDORSED. The matter of selecting a gentleman on the State ticket for the yacancy oc casioped by the death of Tudere Davis was the first business before the committee, and a general interchange of views was had. It was finally decided with great unanimity to endorse the action of Gov.

Holt in the selection of Judge McRae. 11 Some lew of the members! were rather disposed towards the calling ot a convention for the purpose of makinc a nomination, but these ideas were soon dispelled by weightier reaspns, coupled with the inconvenience that: would arise at this stage of the campaign. The action of the committee was finally most cordially concurred in. Thsi was the most important business transacted, out side of some minor details fpr the conduct of the campaign. "CHAIRMAN SIMMONS was called upon and gave ah Interesting statement of the condition! of matters thus far.

He declared that at first the etters received were rather of the mixed order, witu some feeling of distrust. During the past week or so. however this had given way to a more cheerful view from all sections, and each seems to add to the certainty of an' old fashipned JJemocratic victory in the State. ALLIANCE LECTURER BELL. i State Senator' and Alliance lecturer Bell was present and gave the committee a most interesting statement of affairs in the different portions of the State he naa travelled.

Mr. cell entered into an account ot the position he occupied in the btate Alliance, and man emphatic manner declared that he had forewarn ed the Order, whose principles were in herently good.oi the dangers of coupling-it with politics. He was frequently applauded. He ended with announcing his determination to do his full duty in the campaign for the cause! of unadul terated Democracy. Different members of the committee gave in their The tone of a large majority being of good cheer and full of oromise.

The! committee will probably adjourn this afternoon. REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. Delegates to the Republican State Convention, which assembles in this city to-morrow, are arriving in considerable numbers, and the prospect is favorable for a large gathering. It is evident from the squads gathering on the streets in animated discussion, that "all is not well," so far as harmony is i concerned, and the matter of a State ticket still an unsettled point. Chairman Eaves is on the ground, and is enthusiastic for a straight-out fight with no third party in it, except as a lever.

In opposition to this is arrayed the contingent force led by J. C. L. Harris, with prompter Otho Wilson at his back. It is somewhat difficult, at this writing, to! conjecture the result, but- the general tendency seems to be to sustain Chairman Eaves, and the nomination of a regular Repub Iican ticket, with "Jim Boyd at its head, will probably be the outcrop.

Delegates to the State Convention Arriv ing at Raleigh Indications of a Attendance Little Doubt that a State Ticket "Will be Nominated! fSpecial Star Raleigh, N. September 6. The Democratic State Executive Committee adjourned sine die this afternoon. Delegates to the Republican State Convention are arriving frefely to-night, and there are indications of a large at tendance to-morrow. Interviews with prominent men show that the party have little doubt, so far, that a State ticket will be put in the field.

Chairman Eaves, Collector White and T. R. Purnell all concur in this opinion. J. C.

L. Harris thinks the chances are against his policy of fusion with the Third party. The drift of ar gument is that the educated element of the Republican party will refuse to en dorse the policy and platform advocated by the Weaver men, as totally inconsis tent with the economic views of straight-out Republicans. They. 'contend that the abandonment by the Republi can party of a separate Organization will tend to drive large numbers of the better informed into the Democratic ranks, leaving only the ignorant portion for a fusion.

Eaves says he thinks with a regular Republican ticket the prospect for carrying the State over divided Democracy is good. Whatever of the anti-ticket feeling exists is confined almost entirely to the Eastern delegates, the majority' of whom are negroes.
