. ISrilliaxft Scene.
It was a busy scene; on deck at
the Seacoast depot in Wrightsville
last night. The frequently arriving
and departing trains, the1 immense
piles of camp equipage which crowd
ed the platform, the uniformed war
riors who paced the planks, the vans
standing ready waiting to be loaded
with baggage and . the shouts of
laborers as they rapidly disposed of
eauiDacre and baercragre, formed a
bright and animated scene. Capt,
T. J. Southerland had the contract
for removing everything from the
depot to the camp and he had a
large force there r of horses and
vehicles and men to do the work
under his personal suspension. He
nas also reauv wagonettes and car-'
riages to take parties to and fro be
tween the depot and the camp and
these will be on hand to connect
with every train during the En
campment. Miss Aunie DeKosaet.

heard her eiquisite voice, is told in
the following, which we clip from

Chautauqua Assembly:
Miss DeRosset's departure yester

much more sincere and deep than is
often felt at the departure of one

usually as slow to form attachments

yesterday morning, before Dr. Hen-

WILMINGTON, N, C. WEDNESDAY. JULY 10, 1889.
A HOT FIIIE.
Messrs. l'arsley & Wiggins' Planing Mill
and Sash and Blind Factory Destroyed
A Vessel Burned at the TVharf-Losses
Very Heavy. ; '
At 2 o'clock this morning an alarm
of fire was sounded from Messrs; Pars
ley &WIggins'steam saw and planing
mills, located at Hilton, in the ex
treme northern part of the city. The
Are was first discovered by the
watchman in a part of, the mill
where Mr. Gooding, the Foreman,
says there had been no fire at: all
during the day and the only plaus
ible theory of its orign is that it was
caused by some one passing, to or
from one of the vessels lying at the
wharf emptying a pipe there with
fire in it or carelessly throwing in
there a hghted cigar or a match. It
was a small fire when first discov
ered and the watchwan tried to
smother it but failing in this he sent
in an alarm. Some precious time
was thus consumed and when the
three fire steamers arrived at the
bridge of the C. C. R. R., several
hundred yards from the mill, they
halted, as it was. deemed unsafe to
venture on the bridge with the en
gines. They then lai .1 their hose to
the fire and were soon hard at work.
The fire, however, had by this time
gained headway and the plaining
mill and the sash and blind factory
were already a seething mass of
flames. It was liard work but the
firemen buckled to it with a hearty
good will and succeeded' in saving
the gang mill and the circular saw
mill. Parts of the' latter and the
office were on fire several times but
Were saved.
Lying at the wharf at the time
were three tow schooners,the 8am
uel B. Vrooman, loading for Phila
delphia, with 200,000 feet of lumber
in the noia; tne jsciiie sawyer, tor
Boston, with 230,000 feet, and the
Fanny Tracy, of New York, with
160,000 feet. The two last pulled, dut
into the stream and escaped but the
Vrooman was burned at the wharf.
No effort was made to save her. It
is said that there were but two of
the crew on board at the time and
the Captain claims that-, the vessel
was aground and could not be mov -ed.
i She will prove a total loss but
it is hoped that the cargo will be
saved. The steam tug Marie ar
rived on the scene and tried to save
her ; but could not do so. She
is burned almost to the water's edge
with her three masts standing bare
and blackened against the sky, 1
There were about 300,000 feet of
lumber on the yard and wharf and
it is estimated that about 100,000
feet of this was saved. '
The loss is roughly estimated at
between $20,000 and 25,000, with
partial insurance. The mills were
splendidly equipped and in firstclass
order. Theyvhave been running for
about'thirty years, in common with
the Chadbourn Mills, the Kidder
Mills,and theNorthrop Mllls,and it is
the first time a serious fire has oc
curred at either of the four in that
period. ,
We are glad to know that the en
terprising proprietors of the Hilton
Mills! will rebuild the destroyed
works jest as soon as the debris can
be cleared away.
As far as we could ascertain ,therB
was no insntaoe on the Vrooman
but Messrs. Parsley & Wiggins were
insured as follows;
With Messrs. Atkinson & Man
ningj $1,000 in city of London, and
$1,000 in North Carolina Home on
planing mill;and $1,500 inlnperial, of
London, and $500 in Hartford Fire,
with on sash and blind factory'
- . . Tt - T
Messrs. jvortnrop, images ana
Taylor, $1,000 in Phcenix, of Hart
ford, on planing mill. With Mr. M
S. Willard . $1,250 in Western Asi
surauce, of- Toronto, and $1,$50 in
Niagara Fire, of New York, on sash
and blind factory. !
Death of Sir. Morris Bear.
The sad news of the death of Mr.
Morris Bear, recei ved here last even
ing by telegraph, was heard with
great tegret by his many friends in
this city. It was only a few weeks
ago that we shook hands with him
here and imagined that he looked
greatly improved. For many years
past his health has been, delicate
and for sqme.itme he. has, sojourned
at Rutherford ton. He has recently
been traveling inbe Vest and yes-
terday'died suddenly at Marlon, N.
0,, soon after his arrival there. The
remains will arrive here this even
ing and the funeral will take place
at 9.30 tomorrow morning. 1
' Mr. Bear was 41 years of age, and
unmarried. He was the head of the
large I wholesale- honse of Morris
Bear & Bros., of this city. He was
a man of a quiet, reserved : disposi
tion but of a kinilly heart and of a j
generous nature.' T-hose who, k.ne I

Last Light the boys made "Rome
howl;"- even daylight found them
still enjoying themselves. Upon
dismissal yesterday afternoon at
least one hundred sought the briny
deep and enjoyed the pleasures, of a
bath after their dusty and tiresome
ride. . . ,.T V. -
Tosday at 8 o'clock (there was no
reve ille) each regi mental j coimnan
der had guard mounting, and after
wards the battalions were driUed.
At 10.30 a. in. the regiments were
formed in front of the main t build -ing,
in close order, and the opening
exercises began by the reading j of a
prayer by Chaplain W. G. Camp&
bell,-of the Fourth Regiment. :
; Brig; Gen. Anthony then ass urn
ed command and had read the 'gen
eral orders convoking the Encamp
ment, after which the "Military
Opera Band," from Hickory, pleas
el the troops and visitors by playing
"Dixie." The troops were then dis
missed, to their great pleasure as
old Sol was shedding his rays very
strongly and many sought refuge
in those "nmbrageous grots of cool
recesses.1' . ' . ;
Eyeryoue seems delighted with
the prospects of a good time and
the advent of visitors adds to their
pleasures. The boys are throwing
off all care and after the business
of the day are giving themselve3 up
to full enjoyment. The water is
sought after for sailing and bathing
fand the, expressions of pleasure at
returning 'to Wilmington, or rather
Wrightsville, are heard often and
loud. j
