Mr. John Hcacb, aBaltimorean by biith, but a resident of Wilmington previous to, and during the war, died of pneumonia this morning at tie corner of Fourth and Castle streets, where he was emplojed.

Auditing Committee orthc Wr.S W. Ill 11. C-A. John W. Atkinson aud W. H. McUry, F-q., of this city, and Mr. A. Branch, of Wilson, have been appointed by Captain Fred Phillips, late Chairman of the Stocliho'ders meeting of tha'W. & It. R. C-j-npiny h;'d in this citv, ou the 10th ol last month, asthc Auditing. Committee to ex amine tbe books aud accounts of the oflicers of this company during the present year. The committee was created under a resolution oft'.-rod by Judge Howard, of Edgecombe, at tlv3 meeting oftha stockholder at the lime above stated. Paying out Dividends. Mr. J. W. Thompson, Treasurer of the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad Com pany.has paid out $37,000 worth of divi dends since the 30th of November, (last Saturday) on the capital stock of, that company. The whole amount of dividends which th company will pay on last years' operations will amount to $13,669. Of this amount about ono-fourth will go to residents of this city and State, the balance is owned by Northern stock holders. The company we understand contemplate laying about 1,500 tons of new steel rails this year, and but for that outlay the dividend would in all prob abi.ity exceed that declared on last year's revenue. As it is, however, there is no probability of the dividend being less this year than the last. Death of Col. Mulllns. 5Col. Wm. S. Mullins, a native of Fay. etteviile, in this State, died of a bronchial affection at his residencedn Marion district, South Carolina, on Thursday .night last, at 11 o'clock, in tbe 5Gth year of his age. Col. Mullins, as above stated, was born in the town of Fayetteville, near the head waters of the Cape Fear river. He was a graduate of the class o,f 1642, at Chapel Hill,. At the age of twenty-five, Col. Mullins left his native State and moved over into Marion district, South Carolina, where he commenced the practice of law. But it was not long before his brilliant at tainmenta as a scholar and big thrilling eloquence as an orator brought him into public notice, and gave him prominence in affairs of State in bis newly adopted home, lie has filled various responsible public offices in South Carolina, besides being several limes a member of the State Legis lature, where his influence was second to none, while bis ability as a statesman and his polished oratory were surpassed by none of his colleagues in that body. At one time, a jcar or two prior to the war, Col. Mullins was elected by.the stockhold ers President of the Wilmington & Man chester Railroad (now the W., C. &. A.R. R. ), which position he filled for one or two terms. He was an ardent States rights man of the' Calhoun school, a strict con structionist of the Constitution, and a warm supporter of the Secession move ment of SouthCarolina in 1500. But the re versesof fortune had a telling effect nponfhis energies, and since the war he gave up the practice of his profession in a measure, ana retired to his farm, about eleven miles from Marion Court House, where he has been livjng in comparative retlrementXor a num ber of years. Col. Mullins was a brother-in-law of our esteemed fellow townsman Captain A. D. Cazaux. Truly a noble man has fallen. The friends of his youth' tpeak of him as one of the most brilliant men ol their age ; a finished scholar, a polished gentleman ,an eloquent orator and a devoted patriot. Peace to bis ashes. Time is money, but health is happiness. If you have a bad cold or cough, use Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup, it will cure you. Pries 25 cents. " ' " " " """""" The Fire this Moraine. About 8 o'clock this morning fire was discovered in tho storage room of Messrs Wi'.lard Bros. &; Mebane's Commission house, on North Water, between Chest nut and Mulberry street. The store was open at the time and one of the members of the firm was within'a few feet of the fire when first discovered, i It originated in a lot of cotton, in bales, and among those at ths very( front of the atore.and is thought to hare . originated by a spark from a pipe or a cigar'.froiu some passing along the street. There wa3 about 'one hundred bales of cotton ptored thereat tho time acd tfce flames quickly spread among the entire lot. The alarm wis given and as many as possible of the burning bales were ro led into the street but tte flames were so rarid. fjLncd by A . the drat !i of air between! I two ;-oors, that they could not be suppressed. The entire tire depigment wrg quickly on the ground ands'hvi s-tre.ims of water frcm thje threo 8tfc.ri.ers wcto bjing jcured iLto the burning bnildiag, and soon the tire was entirely under control. Ina losses were -coaimed, with some s'ight exceptions,to the build ia;; in which the fire originated, which is a largo brick structure, built only a few y-ara ago acd owned by Mr. A. II. Dickinson, of this city. Ia addition to tho Jobs on the cot ton, which was only partially burned, Messrs. Wi'.lard Bros. & Mebane's loss is considerable iu the wayof stcres.caeats&c, destroyed or ruined by tho water and the smoke. Their entire less will probably foot up somewhere in the neighborhood of $3,000, which is all covered by in surance. Thrso gentlemen hold paliciss tor $500,, in the Royal of Liverpool, represented hereby Mr. Norwood Giles, $2,500 in tho Li vcrpool and London and Globo.Messrs. John W. Gordon & Br o., agents here, and $3,500 in the Quecri of Liverpool and Loudon, Hartford of Har ford and Springfield Firo and Marine, of Springfield, Mass., Messrs. Atkinson & Manning agents. The books and papers of tho firm were all saved. The building in which the fire originated owned, as we have stated, by 'mis. Dick inson, is ladly damaged. It -was pretty well gutteu by tlw fire and will need, new timbers and Ianks throughout, and! be sides, the wail on the N'orth side of the building, it is thought, will have to come down. It is insured with Mr. Norwood Giles, in the Thccaix, of Hartford, for S4,- 000, and it is hopad that this amount will cover the loss. The building just South of the above, owned by Mr. Pembroke 'jones and occu pied by Capt. Chas. Dl Myers and Messrs. E. Peschau & Westermann, on tbe first floor, and Capt. S. W. Vick, on the second floor, was -somewhat damaged by water, as was also Capt. Myers stock of groceries; but two or three hundrechdollars will cover all the loss sustained by them and they were all insured. County Commissioners. ' We published yesterday a repjort of the proceedings of the' Board of County Commissioners up to the hour when we were compelled to close and give here with to-day the concluding portions: The opinion of the County Solicitor, in regard to the official bonds of county offi cers, was received and ordered on file. Ordered, that Hosea L. Thorne be ap pointed School Committeeman in District Ny. 8, in place of N. Gillie in, who has movad out of the District. It was ordered that the o ficial bond of Nicholas Carr, Constable, b e accepted. Ordered, that the committee . on Fcor House be instructed to heat the insano de partment at a cDst as economical as pos sible. .1 It was ordered. that taeappoint nenfs under tjje Board " shall b9 made1 at the first regular meeting in January. I Ordered, that on and after the 1st of January, 1870, the poor allowance shall be discontinued t3 the llini girl, Jane Washington. Ordered, that no bill will hereafter be approved or paid for -services of deputy sheriffs in executing processes in justices' courts, save the fees that are now allowed constables in the various townships for the discharge oi said services, except when the process is delivered to the sheriff fcr execution-. I ' Ordered, that the office of County De tective be abolished. The Board took a recess until Thursday, the 18th instj at 2 p. m. ' The ladies of the Second Presbyterian Church netted about SCO at the Festival i held by them night before latt. The Two M. E. Churches. Rev. E. A. Yates, of Front Street M. E Churcb.and.Kev.B. II. Hall; of Fifth Street M. Church, have returned from atten dance on Conference, at Charlotte, and will fill their respective' pulpits to-morrow We congratulate the congregation of these churches on the fact that these able, faith ful and zalou Ministers of tbe church have been been returned to tbair fields of tabor in this ci?v. I Last SfgbFs Concert. i We regret exceedingly to etAts that there was1 quite a small auiince at the Opera House last nighty to listen to one of the best musical entertainments that have been given inj this city this season. The-programme,, 'as published, was fu'ly carried out. The opening overture bv the Concert Club was a fine musical com position and was rendejrej. with exquisite taste, the different parts being finely balanced, and each part well fustaiucd Tho vocal solo, "The Old Sexton," was sung with fine 'effect by Mr. Manning, who has a rich, deep audi resonant voice which bears ovidenco of careful training. In quartette, especially, docs his organ like voice have a rich effect. The Mistes Atkinson acquitted .themselves finely rh the four handed galop, "The Devil's Call," in which they, played the piano accompaniment to the Cornet and Flute by Messrs. Mitchell and Johnson. In their' vocal efforts; the Misses Atkinson wera also deserving, of much credit. They have peculiarly sweet and fbxible voices, and sang in perfect taste. The Vocal Solo,. "Lest Birdling," was sung by Mrs D. Kahnweiler, and al though it was the first time we (this, re porter) ever had4the pleasure of healing her sing, we have heard many in Opara in our large cities and we are free to confess that the lady in question is the equal of many and the superior of some profess ional vocalists in quality, power, ' flexi bility and sweetness of tone. Her vocal ization is truly marvelous. The Quartette, 4My Lady Waits, ''.developed, in Miss Calais, a soprano of wonderful purity, power and sweetness. Jn this piece, Mr. Mitchell, tenor, displayed a fine voice, well cultivated. Mr. Mayer, the only vocalist of whom we have not spoken. sang with good enact, and his 3orts were highly appreciated by the audience. In the Vocal Duet. ''Selections'' in which he san tenor to tbe i a soprano of Mrs. Kahnweiler, he was especially fine. Miss Emma C. Hahn ren dered "Scotch and Irish melodies'' on the piano to the intense-delkht of an audience wrapt in admiration of her wonderful skill 1 1 seemed to be no difficult matter for her to entertain the audi -nee with only one hand, for after the most enthusiastic en cores, she took her seat alt the piano for tbe second time aud played a difficult pjece,de manding the utmost delicacy of touch, with great rapidity of execution, with only one hand, and tbe left band at that. The ac companists, Mrs. Ta) lor and Messrs Van- L ler and Thorpe, performed the important pirts assigned them fcwith nicety and pre cision, i fIn fact the entire entertainment from its beginning to its ending was a complete success so far as musical skill and ability were concerned, and the good people of Wilmington ought to have crowded the Opera House to its fullest capacity and given their heartist encouragement to the high order of musical talent with which the city abounds.
