A number of the democratic delegates to the convention to-day arrived yester day morning , and .still more came in on la.st evening's trains , It is evident by the carlino.ss of arrivals that the interest in the convention is not confined to the city by any means.

For some time past there has boon an aged and peculiar couple residing near the Northwestern round house , both of whom scorned n little dn/cd or unbal anced. They are continually talking about somebody who , in their imagina tion , is stoning their house , and seem to bo greatly worried about other imaginary ills. Vcstcrday morning the old lady went down on the dummy track , near the pauking house , and placed herself in n position to bo run over and killed by the rapidly approaching train. Some labor ers noticing her queer procedure hur ried to the spot and pulled her off the track in time to prevent her death. The woman is apparently of unsound mind , and should b'J caied for by the authori ties. It is reporlei ! tlii't this is not her first attempt at sclf-dohtructiOM , \Vntor WorkH foiNcoln. . Neola has boon wrestling over the queS' tion of water works , and has decided to have them. The amount of the cxpon dlture is slated as about $12,000 , of winch amount the railroads are to contribute about $5,000 , leaving $7,000 for the city. It is stated that the city has $3,000 in cash in its treasury which can be used for this purpose , so that an indebtedness of only $1,000 is to bo incurred. The local light has been a hot ono , but the decision of the voters has been made in favor of the works as tlio best preventive of llres. A Sncnlc Tlilof. A stranger in Doll Morgan's drug stofo yesterday attracted the attention of the proprietor by his suspicious actions , and being convinced that the fellow had slipped pod something into his pocket ho gave O nicer Unthank the hint , as soon as the follow loft the store. That olllcer follow ed him to the corner , when the fellow broke into a run , and the olllcor had a lively nnd long chase up the alloy before ho caught him. The fellow gave his name as Charles Jackson , and when searched nt the station n perlumery case was found in his pocket. He will have a hearing this morning. Prepare to Register. The boards of registry moot next Tuesday at the same places as before , nnd will continue in session dally for the rest of the week. Voters should not overlook the fact that they must register ngain if they would vole , The old regis try , taken for the recent city election , counts for naught in the coming elec tion. Kvery ono who expects or desires to vote nuiHt sue to it personally that Ids name is registered next week , or else his vote will not bo received on election day The boards will meet for one tiay after wards , on the Wednesday preceding election ( lay , but votois should not post pone registering until that day , unless some unavoidable circumstances proven their registering next week. The earlier the matter is attended to the bettor am surer. It seems strange that toters should need any urging to attend to this mutter , but such seems the caso. The Talc of The Horse. The interesting horse case in wlncl John Ashles , Frank Trimble and Dr Simmon , with others have been eon cerned , completed another chapter yes tcrdny morning iu Justice llcudricks court Trimble and Dr. Sermon were up on a charge of stealing the liort-e. but I ho charge was promptly dismissed b\ the 01 der of the county attorney , Mr Wan- , who deputed Attorney Stewait to ap pear in court for him and thus di po c of the case. Mr. Ware and Justice Hun- dricks had some sharp differences some time ago , and Mr. Ware , although the county attorney , seem to bo sot against appearing In the cocrt presided over iiy Justice Ilendricks.

Report received and placed on tile. The report of the oflicial canvass of the vote was received and spread upon the minutes. The bond of $3,000 and oath of ollice of the new mayor , William tironewcg were received and placed on lilo. ; The council then adjourned until Thursday evening of next week. The adjournment was rather unex pected. There was a large number of bills and other documents on the table , and the deputy clerk was instructed by his father to hold the now mayor's bond to the last , buthe slipped the jack from the bottom , and it was approved before the council realized what the effect would be. As soon as attention was called to the fact that Mayor Kvans was no longer mayor , business had to be suspended and the adjournment took place. City Attorney Holmes , although of the opposite party , suggested that resolu tions should be prepared than king Mayor Kvans for his services , anil this matter was laid over until next Thursday night. 12 Cabinet Photographs $3.

In the spring of Mil , when thu federal government had placed so many block ades outside of Charleston bar that tliov wore in danger of colliding with oacli other every time lUo son got up , says a writer in the Detroit FIDO I'iesl shipped at Nassau on an English blockade runner cabled thu Deerhound. She was loaded with arms , clothes , shoos , inodieines , tents and drv goods , nnd the cargo was worth nt least > ? SOOIOO ( in gold. At that time not more than two bloukaders n month slipped into Charlestonami it wa well understood among us that wo had nineteen chances of going to the bottom or being captured to ono of getting safe in. Indeed , the risk was known to be so great thnl the confederate agent hud haul work to get a crow. It was only a short run , as you know , but the four of us who might be. classed as roustabouts were promised $100 in gold npiuco to make the trip. If wo got in wu were to bu retained by the steamer at ifo pur day until she was ready to come out with cotton. If wo were sunk or captured that was our own lookout. The confederate agent who had the mailer in charge was n hustler. There were half n do/.on 'Yankee spies in and about Nassau , with Jjome of the federal cruisers constantly , in port , and it was useless to expect to get away without our departure being known. It was , however , given out and generally credited that we were bound tor Savannah. Wo were ready to leave late tin tile afternoon of a Monday , but a Yankee cruiser arrived that day noon anil some < > f the spies put off ami warned the captain of what was up. Ho had como in for water , provisions and repairs , out down wenl ins anchor in Ihe harbor , and ho kept up a full head of steam. If wo loft ho would follow , and even if wo could outrun him lie would keep near enough to bother us off Charles ton. In this emergency a lot more freight was brought down lo the wharf , and everybody turned lo as if we had at least another day's work. A number of bar rels and bales wore hoisted into the hold before dark , but only to be hoisted out again when our scouts reported that the cruiser had banked her lires and allowed a number of her crew to go ashore on leave. At 10 o'clock al night the weather turned nasty , and it begun to dri//.lo. Half an hour later the Deerhound sliipcd away from her clocks so quietly that few know of her departure. We ran within a quarter of a mile of the cruiser , but the weather was so thick that the best glass could nol have made us oul to bo the craft ho was so anxious to follow. When we got fairly out the steamer was driven for all she was worth. There was ovor.y chance that her nbsonce would bo observed before morning , nnd n long stiu t would bo our only salvation. As it afterward turned out wo were not missed until daylight , nnd then the crui ser got under way at onco. Why ho headed for Charleston instead ot Sa vannah I never ascertained. Ho ptolta- bly acted on thu idea thai if wo said one place wo were bound for Ilio olhor. Hail all gonu well with us wu should have appeared off Charleston bar in the early hours of ovonin < i , thus giving us all night to slip past the blocknders1 Vhon thirty miles away , at 5 o'clock in tlio rtflernoon. an accident happened in the engine room , s 2'l rc lay like a logon the sea. Half an hoi.r later wo sighted the cruiser who had como oui 0 * Nassau after us. Wo had overrun our dlHir.II'0 to the north by ten or twelve miles on purpose. The cruiser came down within six miles of us before he bore nwuy to the west. Wo could make him out very .clearly , although the weather was ha/.y , but he could not see us. The blue-white color of the sloamer made her blond with the horizon , and seem a part of it at thai distance. Our coal was smoke less , and loft no trace on the sky. It was not until tlio cruiser was almost out of sight to the west that wo hud our repairs completed and started ahead nt half speed. Wo ran In to within ten miles of the bar , nnd the cruiser had been lost to sight tor two hourswhon the lookoutwho had u strong night glass , dupovered : him ogam. Ho was standing oul lo sen , and was scarcely iwo inilouway nnd dead nhead of us. Our edurse was changed Iwo or three points , , eyery light ex tinguished , and wo crept out of Ills path. Ho was off our quarter and u milo away when ho discovered ui { , and the very lirot warning we had wW ) the roar of a big gun ana the scream of a ahull which However over us. Wo were nv forlt now. It was either run to sea or l6ld ; 'Straight for Uio bur. O.ir captain deeidgdupon the latter course , and Uio Doerhoiind dashed for ward al her bcsl spool. Up wonl half a do/.en rockets from \\o \ } \ cruiser , and bung ! bangl wonl l.i-r guns , and llvo minutes later every bloeknder on the station was liring rockets. It was under stood that a runner wns approaching. As wo drew near \vp saw light after light dancing on the waters I believe there wore twenty blockudors on the sta tion. Red and blue lights wcro burned , rockets wore exploded and the Deerhound - hound was pushed into the thickest of them. The first eraft wo passed was not K pistol shol away , the second was al most grazed ; the third guvo us a shot which look the ornament off the sto-im- or's stom. Then all of thorn seemed to open lire at once , and shots came from all points of the compass. Wo were struck throe times within a minute , but no 0110 was hurt , nnd not much dumago was done. Wo kepi driving ahoad.nover swerving a point , nnd after a few min utes all the shot oamo from astern , thus proving that wo hud passed through the iloet.
