The L-ast Sad Tribute to the IllustrionH Dead Services at St. John's Church Kxcrcies at the Opera House Touch ing Addressee by Prominent Speakers fJeneral Suspension of Business Iurinff the Memorial Services. The sun rose in majestic beauty this morning, giving Abundant tokens that the clay on which the honored, beloved and lamented Jkffkrpon Davis would be con signed to the quiet of the tomb, where no breath of slander or. clam mery could reach him ever more, would be beautiful and pleasant. Our citizens generally appreciated this blessing, and many were the evpressions of gratitude at the real loveliness of the weather, such, we believe, as is known in no other land on the face of God's green earth. At 10.30 o'clock this forenoon the Wilmington" Light Infantry, of which Hon. Jeffkrson Davis was an honorary member; In full uni form and with 37 men rank and file, under the command of t'Japt. W. K. Kenan, marched to -St. John's Church, where exercises appropriate to the occasion were conducted by Rev. Dr. Carmichael, Hector of the Church and Chaplain of the Second Regiment, N. C. State Guard. There were also present to participate in the exercises the Confederate Vet erans' Association and 'the Ladies' Memorial Association. Jicsides these who were present as distinct organi zation, there were many ladies, gen tlemen and children present to join in the impressive rites. The services at the church were deeply impressive find entirely ap propriate to an occasion of such solemn and absorbing interest. They consisted of prayer by the rector, followed by a hymn by the choir, the latter being composed of the following ladies and gentlemen: Misses Kenan, Schwartz find Row den, sopranos; 'Mrs. Howden, Mrs. Shaw and Miss Wood, altos; Messrs. C. II. Robinson and H. M. IJowden, tenors, and Mr. H. K. Holden, base. Mr. K. P. Boat w right. as at the or gan. After the singing the Rev. Dr. James Carmichael nmde a short and touching address regarding the ilead chieftain, whose mem ory they had assembled to hon or. The address was followed by a prayer by the same, after which there was singing by the choir. The benediction was then pronounced and the congregation remained standing while the Light Infantry marched out on to the street, fol lowed by the Confederate Veteran Association and the Ladies' Memo rial Association, in the order named, and theu by the citizens generally, th ' choir singing a beautiful anthem during the time. On leaving the church the Light Infantry marched directly across Third stfeet, halted and faced to the rear, which was to ward the railroad, and at the word of command fired three volleys as a tribute to the deceased honorary member. The firing wan superb, each discharge being made with hardly more than the noise of a sin- Igle report. This ceremony xbeing performed, the company faced to the front, and then wheeliug into columns of fours they took up their line of. march to the Opera House, followed by the Veteran Association and the Ladies' fMemorial Associa tion. AT THE OPERA HOUSE. Precisely at noon the ceremonies at the Opera House were opened by a solemn dirge," played by the Ger mania Cornet Band, at the conclu sion of which Col. Roger Moore an nounced the following as the offi cers of the meeting: President Col. John D. Taylor. . Vice Presidents Mayor Fowler, Mr. T. .B. Kingsbury, LL.D., Major P. F. Duffy, Lieut. Josh. T. James, David G. Worth, Esq., D. L. Gore, Esq., Col. John J. Hedrick, Col. B. It. Moore, Capt. .John T. Rankin, B. F. Mitchell, Esq., P. Heinsberger, Esq., Lieut. John McEvoy, Maj. Jas. .Reilly, Capt. Robert B. Davis, Capt. J. M. McGowan, Capt. O. A. Wiggins, Col. John L. Cant well,'-Alrich Adrian, Esq., Cap't. W li. Kenan, Maj.' T. D. Loye, Capt, Joseph Price, Col. W. L. DeRosset, S. G. Hall, Esq., Col. T. W. Atkin son, Capt, W, T. Oldham, Dr. W. H. Green, W. II." Bernard, Esq., LienL Geo. W. KiddenJ. A.Bonitz, Esq., Harry Walters, Esq., Capt. W. H. Bixby, Dr. W. G. Thomas, Dr. Thos F. Wood, Capt. E. W. Manning, Hon. O. P. Meares, B F.White, Esq.' Capt. J. I. Metts, Col. J. G. Burr' D. MacRae, Esq., Capt. A. D. Brown,' Capt, R. M. Mclntire, M. M. Katz, Esq., B. F. Hall, Esq., Wm. Blanks, Esq., J. A. Montgomery, Esq., J. A. Everett, Esq., H. C. McQueen, Esq., John E. Crow, Esq., Junius Davis, Esq., DuB. Cutler, Esq., Capt. Hen ry Savage, Norwood .Giles, Esq. These gentlemen had seats on the stage, as did also the Committee on Resolutions consisting of Col. A. M. Waddell, Dr. A. J. DeRosset and Abram Weill, Esq. and the speakers. The reporters of the daily press of the city were requested to act as Secretaries and were furnished with convenient seats and tables in the wings. Col. Taylor, on taking the - chair made a brief speech which was ap propriate to the occasion, in which he paid a high and just . tribute to the exalted patriotism and Christ ian virtues of the beloved states man, soldier and chief of the 0'on federacy in memory of whom they had assembled in common with mil lions thorotighout tlie South, to pay the last, sad tribute to the noble, knightly man they all loved and whose memory they revered '. A touching praysr was then of fered to the throne of God by Rev. Dr. Carmichael, Rector of St. John's Episcopal Church. This was followed by a solo and chorus by the choir, with Miss Kenan as soloist and Mr. Munson as organist. Col. A. M. Waddell then, in be half of the Committee on Resolu tions,submitted the following, which were adopted unanimously by a rising vote. This day will be memorable in the annals of the Southern people. Throughout eleven great States, stretching from the Potomac to the Rio Grande, njillions of men, women and children are gathered to do honor to the memory of a great and irood man, once their chosen leader, whose career, just closed at a ripe old age, was without a parallel in history. They honored him for his virtues; they revered him for his lofty char acter; they admired him for his in tellectual endowments; but above all, they loved him for his sublime devotion to the greatest cause in which theii hearts were ever enlist ed, and for the heroic fortitude.with which we bore their sorrows. This day the grave, whose open arms await us all, will receive his mortal part and the last page of a strange -and striking history will have been written. The people of Wilmington, desir ous of testifying their love and rev erence for their illustrious country man, whose death has caused uni versal sorrow throughout the South ern States have, in mass-meeting as sembled, licfiolvcd, That we recognize with gratitude the Kind Providence that prolonged the days of Jefferson Davis until the clouds of injustice, which had long gathered about.him, were rolled away, and he was re vealed to the world as he had al ways stood before hs own people erect and stainless in the integrity of his patriotic manhood. Jicsotvcd, That if splendid services and honorable wounds received on foreign battle-fields under the flag of the Union, if a brilliant career in the Senate and in the Cabinet, and & pure, manly, incorruptible,Christ ian, private life should command the respect of the American people, Jefferson Davis merited that respect in an eminent degree. t Jlcsolvcd, That we firmly believe impartial history will assign to him a place among the most illustrious charastersof this age, and we earn estly commend to the youth of the country the study of his life and character as being worthy of their imitation. Besolvcd, That we tender to his stricken family our profound sym pathy in their bereavement, and as sure them that they will always be regarded by their Southern country j men and countrywomen with ten der solicitude. " Resolved That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the family of the illustrious dead. In presenting the resolutions Col. I Waddell made a masterly speech, full of patriotic flre,fervid eloquence ' and elegant diction characteristic of . this distinguished son of Wilming ton. - i At the conclusion of Col. Wad dell's speech, the President an- ' nounced as the orator of - the Day one who knew Jefferson Davis better tlian any one "present, tlie Hon. George I)av is. As Mr. Davis caine slowly forward to speak he was greeted . with an outburst, of applause which was. House am suspended in. the hall, truly gratifying; He was visibly af-: and thence conveyed by the gamo iccceu ana Deganspeaivinus u kiuuu ing by the open grave of his dead chieftain with the certaintythat he should soon follow and the scenes of earth would close for him also for. ever. For sixteen months he had been daily and intimately associated with Jkfferson Davis as the chief law adviser of the Confederacy and had seen,; him x every phase of a great lite which was being tried as never was man's life tested before, and had loved him then and revered his memory now. As a soldier, fight ing the battles j. of his country in Mexico, he had shown an abundant military skill and. a dauntless'cour age; as' a Senator, in the halls of Congress, he had shown to the world his vast knowledge of Con-stitutioual-law, and as a member of the Cabinet lie left the impress of his knowledge and power. But it was as President of the late Confed eracy that he established a fame that can never die and which grows stronger and stronger as time rolls on. and will continue to grow as long as history, honestly and can didly written, shall last. He spoke of the vast and varied knowledge of his beloved chieftain, stating that in every department of life, from the lowly calling of the humblest arti san to the most learned scientist he knew of no one who was the equal of Jefferson Davis. The speaker said that, in the opinion of most men, Jefferson Davis was an .austere, stern and severe man, but his was one of the most tender, loving and kindly hearts that ever lived. Simple and plain in his habits, the humblest soldier or the most common citizen could approach with confidence and a certainty that a just .appeal would not go unheard. He was the em bodiment of truth and sincerity, and above all was a Christian in the purest sense of that word. The speaker was visibly affected at times as he related incidents in the life of the great man, and we regret that we can give but a very feeble synopsis of his remarks, Ex-Lieut, Governor Charles M. Stedman was then introduced, and he made a thrilling speech. It was replete with the patriotism, genius, courage, military skill; exalted statesmanship and great learning and earnest piety of Jefferson Davis, whom the entire South de lighted to honor and in whose mem ory she would shed loving tears this dav. Major Stedman was followed by singing by the eholr, after which Rev. Dr. Pritchard made a brief ad dress in which bespoke of the in flexible truthfulness, incorruptible patriotism and sincere' piety of him whose memory they had assembled to honor. He spoke of. the pure, simple, christian faith of Jefferson Davis as remarkable. His character was spotless and his christian faith broad, trustful and comprehensive. Dr. Pritchard was followed by" Rev. W. S. Creasy, who made a brief address in which he spoke of the exalted Christian virtuesof Jefeer son Davis, and the love which would grow, for him as time fleeted by. We regret that we are ' unable to give all the speeches in full as they were all eloquent to the'great worth of the departed chief tain, but we ean notand cau give but a synopsis of the rich intellectual treat of the sol em u occasion. The Opera House was crowded to its utmost capacity, yet the exercises were so deeply interesting that the most profound silence reigned among the vast audience and every speaker had the undivided attention of all present. Rev; Father Moore was called for but he was hot present, arid the benediction was pronounced by Rev. P. H. Hoge, and the multitude left the building. Later in the. day "the Ladies' Me morial Association went in a body to Oakdale Cemetery, taking with them a most beautiful Greek cross of white Immortelles, surrounding the words, "AT REST" . in letters of purple immortelles, with which to decorate the Confederate monument This cross was placed in St. John's Church this morning, and at the conclusion of the services 'there. it was taken to the Opera loving hands to Oakdale. Death of Capt. Temmetman. We are sorry to hear of the death of a venerable resident of this eUyt Capt. H. T. Lemmerman. He died at his residence here about 9 o'clock this morning, aged 7( years and 3 months. Capt. Lemmeriiian was a native of Hamburg, Germany.' but had resided in Wilmington for near- i ly half a century. He was a steam boatengineer but wasengaged in the lighterage business for many years. He was an honorable, honest, clever, genial gentleman, and his death is deeply deplored. The funeral ser" vices will take place to niorro af. ternoon from St. Paul's E.L.( hurclr Gilded five cents are going for five-dollar gold pieces, but Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup needs no gilding to make it go. Oil Discovered at Soutliport. Southport has struck 'ile' at last, not; metaphorically, but literally. Capt. J. W. Woodsides and Mr. Robert Robins, of Southport, have recently -embarked in the wood business there and have put in an engine to furnish the power for sawing wood. In digging a well fori water, on property belonging to Capt. .1. T. Harper, they found water sostrangly impregnated with oil that it is hardly .probable they will be able to use it. The well is not more than 14 feet deep. The oil smells and tastes very much like petroleum and an old oil man who has seen it says that it possesses the characteristics of that oil. Of course we presume that thediscovery will be pushed for all it is worth. ' The Monument to Col. Jones. The proposition to erect a monu ment to the memory of the late Col. L. C. Jones, by the employes of the Carolina Central R. R., is making very favorable progress. The com mittee have inspected designs sub mitted to them and the choice has been narrowed down to two, both from Charlotte. The funds are to be supplied exclusive!' by the offi cers and employes of the O. C. R. R. with some contributions from those of the H. & A. R. R. people. The monument is to be made of North Carolina granite and all of the work is to be done within the State. The committee consists of Supt. F. W. Whisnant, Wilmington; Agent K. S. Finch, Charlotte,; Master Mechanic Jas. Maglenn, Laurinburg; Road Master W. B. Summerset,Charlotte; Engineer Jas. T. Neimeyer, Laurin burg; Road Master J. T, Elmore Maxton; Agent B.
