The charming little play entitled, "A Bunch of Red Roses," was given lost night in the lecture room of the First Baptist church under the auspices of the United Workers Society, and was a decided success. The attendance WAS exceedingly large and everybody present pronounced the entertainment one of the best of its kind ever given in the lecture room.
The programme opened with a SOD twenty young ladies who were beautifully dressed in Spanish cos tumes, and carried tambourines. The tambourine obligate was especially attractive.

MORNING WILMINGTON, N. THURSDAY, MARCH THE CRIMINAL COURT No Agreement Reached by the Jury in the Case of Fred Stewart. THE PROCEEDINGS YESTERDAY True Bills Against Defendants Charged With Sunday Liquor Selling--The Poisoning Case of Aiken Woman to Be lavestigated. The major portion of yesterday's session of the Criminal Court was taken up with the trial of Fred Stewart, the colored porter at the Atlantic National Bank, charged with the larceny of a number of postage stamps from his employer, the particulars of which are well known to readers of this paper. The jury took the case about 1 o'clock and after ask ing for special instructions two 'or' three times, came before Judge Bryan at 7 o'clock last evening after adjournment of the regular session of the court and made a mistrial of the case, having been unable to reach a verdict as to the defendant's guilt.
He will therefore be re committed to jail for another trial at the June term. The case was taken up first thing yesterday morning and was vigorously prosecuted by Solicitor Duffy and Marsden Bellamy, Esq. The defence WAS looked after by Brooke G. Empie and Herbert McClammy, Esqs. The evidence was that the negro had sold a large number of stamps to several different parties but counsel for the defence raised the point in argument that in no instance did the evidence bear out the statement that the stamps were the property of the bank other than twenty five which Stewart confessed to have taken for his own use as is customary with employes of the institution.
The jury which heard the case WAS composed 88 follows: G. W. Britt, Jno. J. Williams, J.
E. Grier, 8. H. Mintz, L. B.
Love, W. W. Rob erts, T. F. Simmons, J.
J. Craig, m. Simpson, W. A. Wilson, N.
L. Smith and A. G. Hankins. Other cases that came up during the day were of minor importance.
Owen Nixon, colored, charged with the larceny of seven hogs, was found not guilty. Miles Nixon, colored employe of the Wilmington Gas Light Company, was given three months on the county roads for an assault with a deadly weapon upon Mr. Brock, night fore man at the works, who discharged him because he refused to obey or ders during the recent snow. Nixon plead his own case to the jury, which some merriment in the court room, but which, from the verdict, it seems, had little effect. John Watson, the well known offender, who "swore off" last week before Justice Bornemann, submitted to a charge of assault with a deadly weapon upon Police Sergeant J.
R. Davis, pleading his drunkenness at the time as a mitigation of his offence. He was fined $10 and cost, and recognized until the next term of the court for payment of the same. Arthur Taylor, colored, for carrying concealed weapons, WAS given sixty days on the roads. A pistol WAS found upon bis person several months ago upon his arrest for disorderly conduct by Policeman L.
George. Romeo Hall and John Scarboro, both colored, were arraigned for An affray at corner of Sixth and Red Cross streets on Christmas eve. They were represented, by Herbert McClammy, argument in the case was continued until this morning. There are also indictments pending against the defendants for slashing Policemen G. H.
Ward and J. M. Kiog with a knife. True bills were returned during the day against J. Hinnant for selling liquor on Sunday and P.
W. Young for the same offence and selling liquor without license. The cases will most probably be heard to day. It now seems that Arthur Cooper, the negro in jail in connection with the poisoning of the Aiken woman, will go unwhipt of justice on account of the failure to have analysis of the contents of the woman's stomach. The jar containiog the same has been a returned without analysis from Dr.
Baskerville at the University on account of the failure, of the County Commissioners, it is said, to make an appropriations of $50 for payment of the serviee. The Commissioners, it is claimed, say that the jar was sent away unsealed and an analysis under such circ*mstances would be worthless. Solicitor Duffy, however has sent a bill to the grand jury and it is likely that he will try for a conviction with the evidence of witnesses in band. Talesmen have been summoned for to day as follows: R. L.
Sandford, W. E. Brown, E. J. Grimsley, Alex.
Wells, J. D. Dosher, E. W. Cooper, W.
P. Toon, J. A. Mote, W. O.

P. Quinn, A. F. Walsh, F. Bissenger, J.
Wallace Davis. As this is only a one week term of the court, Judge Bryan and Solicitor Duffy are using all possible dispatch in disposing of the docket, and especially cases of those in jail. To this end Judge Bryan ordered yesterday that for the remaining days of the week the court would meet at 9:30 o'clock each morning instead of 9:45 A. as heretofore. The next session and 1 the last of the Criminal Courts will be held in New Hanover beginning June 2nd, Judge Bryan presiding.
The grand jury returned only three bills during yesterday. STAR. GENERAL ASSEMBLY. Both Houses Rushing Matters to Conclude the Business of the Session. THE APPROPRIATION BILLS.

Several important bills still remain on the calendar, but it is thought that all can be disposed of at least in time to adjourn some time during afternoon or evening. Probably the longest time will have to be devoted to considera tion of the Senate amendments to the Revenue act. They cannot get this bill back from the Senate for concur rence in the amendments before sometime to- morrow. Senate has concurred in the following appointments by the Goy. ernor: Members of the Board of Agriculture from the following Congressional Districts and for the following terms: First Congressional District-J.

A. Ricaud, formerly of Wilmington, but now of New York, spent yesterday in the city. He was returning to New York from a business trip through the Southwest. Star RALEIGH, N. March House spent nearly the entire day considering appropriation bills.
Increased appropriations of $20,000 for the debt of the former administration and $10,000 annually for a new textile building for the A. and M. College were adopted after a lengthy discus sion. An appropriation of $71,500 for maintenance and 15,000 for DE buildings for the State hospital, Raleigh, elicited lengthy discussion and resulted in the adoption of a compro mise to provide $65,000 for annual maintenance and $5,000 each year for buildings. The clause appropriating $13,000 for the purchase of the Grimes farm for a hospital was stricken out.
Mr. Beddingfield offered an amend ment to strike out all amendments and pass the appropriation bill as it came from the commies. A long discus sion prevented a vote during the after noon. The bill, with amendment, went over to the night session. The following bills passed final reading during the morning and after noon sessions: To incorporate the J.
M. Ray Camp Confederate Veterans; to provide better government for the Blind Institute; to allow an extension of State records from 1701 to 1901; to extend the stock law in Perquimans county. The Wilcox vs. Seawell contested election case was settled by adopting the majority report to seat Seawell, (Democrat.) The bill to prohibit the employment of labor on the State farms in Halifax and Northamptoy counties was discussed at length. A motion to table was lost, but the bill was displaced by the special order before the final vote WAS reached.
Other bills passed third reading: To authorize the Governor to fill vacancies on the boards of charitable and penal institutions; to provide regulations for convicts in the penitentiary; to incorporate the Edgecombe Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Company; to amend the charter of F'ayetteville: to place street car lines under control of the Corporation Commission; to establish the stock law in certain sections of Wayne; to pay House managers four dollars per day, actual days, during the impeachment trial; to incorporate the Farmers' Bank, Richmond county. The Senate spent a great portion of the day in committee of the whole considering the Revenue act, third reading. Section 4, bank tax, consumed most of the time. Motion by Mr. Leak to substitute the law of '99 was voted down.
The section was finally adopted. The principal change is that bank officers certify to the auditor all non resident stockholders, for taxation at the market value of stock on June 1st. The' committee, rose and reported progress. The following bills passed: House substitute for Senate bill regarding injunctions on timber lands; to provide for a more efficient system of supervision for public schools; to rate the North Carolina Poultry sociation; to provide an election law for the State; to amend section 3304 of the Code relative to notary fees; to incorporate the Farmers' Bank, Rockingham; to incorporate the J.

IMPORTANT ARREST. Postoffice Inspector Connolly Worked Up Difficult Case at Laurinburg. PRINTER TAKEN IN H. T. Allen, Middle- Aged White Mao, Charged With Fraudulent Use of the Mails -Committed to Jail at Lumberton, N.
C. United States Postoffice Inspector Jere Connolly arrived in afternoon city, yes, terday over the Seaboard Air Line railroad from Laurinburg, N. where he caused an important arrest on Tuesday night of H. T. Allen, alias H.
T. Allen" and Ailen," a middle -aged man employed as a printer on one of the local newspapers in that town, and who is charged with violation of the United States Revised Statutes relating to the fraudulent use of the mails. Allen was arrested by Deputy Marshal J. 0. Parish and a preliminary examination was held Tuesday night before United States Commissioner W.
H. Cox, who committed him to the Lumberton jail in default of $500 bond for a continued hearing at Laurinburg on March 26th. Allen was brought on the morning train yesterday to Lumberton and lodged in jail there. A STAR representative last night had a talk with Mr. Connolly and was shown a number of the alleged fraudulent circulars which were mailed by Allen and which were secured by the inspector, after persistent and shrewd effort of several months.
The principal and one among the several schemes which Allen has worked for. several years without detection is the mailing of carefully worded circulars offering for sale at $1.02, two recipes for "Allen's Patent Leather Enamel" and "Allen's Chemical Whiskey," which are sent in good faith, but are merely copies of recipes found in many cheap books. The section of the circular which will likely give him most trouble is a "30 Day Offer," in which he states that all sending at once and returning the circular will receive free as a present three fac simile $5 bills, or one $5 and one $10 bill. "I will not sell these bills for reasons of my own, but will give them away free to purchasers," the circular tes, and will "sell 12 sets of recipes 36 bills ($180) for $10." dollars are offered to any one that will detect these bills from the "genuine article." They are exact in size and lettering to the genuine, and are printed on genuine paper, the circular goes on to state. The re ceiver is advised to keep quiet, and send an order at once if the recipient wants to take more money than ever before in his life.
"Make hay while the sun shines" and "'A word to the wise is sufficient," are two of the closing admonitions to the unwary. The bills sent in reply are the Con federate bills which are of little value. Allen numbered his customers from "Maine to Mexico," so to speak, and received several orders from New York State. A few of the other places from which contributions were received are Pickney, Washington, Williams, Ariz, Shelby and Kinsey, Ala, Kings ville, Obio, Margarettsville, N. Zalma, Science Rocky, Maryland, Mich', Blooming ton, Taunton, Waitsburg, Indianapolis, Muscatine, Iowa, Yorkyille, Balsinger, Pa.
The postoffice department got wind of Allen's operations from several secret service agencies all over the country and Mr. Connolly was sent out to work up the case which he did with signal ability and exceeding cleverness. Allen is said to be a native of Wadesboro, and has a family. Residents of Laurinburg say he has been working this and similar schemes for the past ten years. LOCAL DOTS.
