A laree audience filled the Opera House last night to witness one of the best minstrel performances ever given this city. The costuming was tne richest ever seen on our stage in any imilar performance. The vocal selec ons of the first part called forth re peated applause; as did the wonderful musket drill of Sargent Cummings. The specialties of the second part were all good. The Uncle btmon ot Mr. Will Mack and Tommy Casey, as Annt Hannah, were a perfect conception of the old ante-bellum darkey, and Drougnt before many eyes the scenes or long ago in the Old South. The Haydn Quintette were well balanced voices, and their various selec tions were heartily appreciated. r Hi. Henry is undoubtedly a master oi that most difficult instrument, the cor net. His playing is the best that has been heard in this city since Levy. This company may be sure of a gen erous welcome the next time they visit our city.

A Stock Company to Develop the Oyster Industry in Onslow. Several gentlemen of this city, in con junction with citizens of Onslow county living near Stone's Bay, contemplate the formation of a stock company for the purpose of developing the oyster indus try at that place. The Bay is said to abound in oysters equal to any brought to this market, and the develop ment of the industry which is con templated cannot but redound to the benefit of the business interests of Wilmington. The plan of the com pany, it is learned, will soon be given to the public. Stone's Bay, by the way, is said to be ope of the most beautiful sheets of water in Eastern Carolina, and may yet be a rival, as a watering place, of many seaside resorts. In the win ter season it is aescnoea as something of a "hunter's paradise," its broad waters being covered with my riads of wild fowl and affording splen did sport for visitors. The opening up of the country be tween Wilmington and New River by the Onslow Railroad will no doubt lead to the development of the varied inter ests of that section, not the least of which are its fisheries and the immense oyster beds of contiguous waters. Seaman's Bethel. Services this afternoon at the Sea man's Bethel, at 3:30 o'clock, will be conducted by Rev. Robert Strange, rector of St. James' Episcopal Church. All are cordially invited to attend, especially seamen. Masters of vessels are requested to have this notice read to their crews and urge their attending these services at the Bethel, which are conducted and arranged especially for theth. They cannot in a better way show their appreciation of the efforts being made at this port on their Denait Dy tne Seamans' Friend Society than by attend ing these services. All city pastors are asked to give notice of this meeting from their pulpits this morning, and especially urge the attendance of ladies, who can sing and who can in this way make the services more attractive to seaman.

A;Qreat Success Thousands Present Fine Displays of Home Products of All Descriptions. Special Star Report. Rocky mount, NOvr 14. To-day (Friday) the fair closed. A large num ber of entries were made, and in the agricultural department the, exhibit though small, was good. Farmers be ing busy housing their crops did not give it any attention, hence the small display. Floral Hall was handsomely decorated with the fine display of numerous kinds of needlework. The hall was a marvel of beauty, being represented by various kinds of handiwork of the ladies of Hal ifax and Edgceombe counties. A large quantity of home made work of the farm, such as cloth, carpets, &c, and last but not least, an elegant display of crazy quilts, all kinds of embroidery and many other articles too numerous to mention. -The stock department was thinly re presentedbutgood what there was of it. The poultry was good, as usual, as Nash has a reputation for fine chickens, as well as brandy. In the tobacco line a finer disnlav was never exhibited anywhere. This dis play satisfies the people that this section cannot be beaten. The racing was much better than usual, and there was more of it both running and trotting. The best feature of the occasion was the exclusion of gamblers; they were proiiDiteaxm the grounds and on the streets, hence, none to defraud the inno cent of their money. Thursday was the biggest day. The town had more oeoole than ever seen bv the oldest citizen in it at one time. From six to seven thousand were on the ground and as many on the streets, mak ing twelve thousand. b inancially the fair was a big success. Thursday's gate receipts showed over four thousand tickets hesiHes a laro-e amount received at the gate. The net proceeds will be from twenty-five, hun dred to three thousand dollars. THAT CUTtTng"sCRAPE. The Injured Man in a Fair to Recover. Fred. Johnson, the seaman stabbed in an affray Thursday night (as reported in the Star yesterday), is better and will probably be able in a few days to be present at the preliminary examination of the case which will take place before Mayor Fowler. Johnson says that he was on his way to his vessel, with some of his shipmates, shortly after midnight, and at the corner of Nutt and Red Cross streets met three men, one of whom shoved him off the sidewalk. Johnson agkedhe man what he meant and was cursed and abused by the men, who fol lowed him a short distance up Nutt street, where they jumped on him, stab bing Johnson in the side and shoulder and biting one of his thumbs nearly off. The wounded man was assisted to the vessel, lyingatthe Carolina Central rail road wharf, by his shipmates, and an attempt was made to stop the flow of blood. In this.however, they were only partially successful, and but for the prompt surgical attention rendered by the surgeon of the Marine Hospital Johnson would probably have bled to death. One of the three men arrested Friday night admitted that he stabbed Johnson. Their names are Albert Taske, Ben Guirk and Randolph Schonakfield. The two first are members of the crew of the cutter Colax and the last named one of the crew of the steamer Benefactor. BY RIVER AND RAIL. Receipts of Naval Stores and Cotton Yesterday.

NORTH CAROLINA STATE CONVEN TION. Third Day's Proceedings Educational and "Benevolent Institutions Wake Forest Endowment Foreign Missions Sunday School Convention, Etc. Special Star Report. Shelby, Nov. 14. After the usual devotional exercises of half an hour, the resolution of Mr. J. H. Mills, looking to the establishment of an institution for the education of feeble-minded children was considered. The committee to whom the matter had been referred, Drs. Taylor, Hufham, and Hon. Wm. A. Graham, did not deem it wise at this time for the Baptists to project such an institution, but expressed a sense of the public need of such a school and the desire that the State, or some combina tion of benevolent men, should estab lish one. It is greatly to the credit of Mr. Mills that he has been so useful in this direction. He it was who first pro posed in the Grand Lodge of the Masons to found the Orphanage at Ox ford and he undertook the enterprise before the State had made any appropriation for its maintenance, and when the Grand Lodge had given it only $500. For nine years he success fully ran that Orphanage, and when the Baptists originated their Asylum he was called to the head of it, where he has wisely served his denomination for five years. Mr. Mills explained that he did not mean that the school he suggested should be a Baptist affair. A tract of land had been offered him by a gentle man at Pine Bluff, on the railroad from Raleigh to Hamlet, and other persons had spoken to him of their desire to give to such an institution; and his idea was to appoint, or rather nominate, a number ot gcod men from different de nominations and some of no church who might act as trustees to receive this property and arrange for the founding of such a school at an early dav. Gen. Robert Vance and J. S. Carr were among those he named, though these are all your reporter can recollect. Dr. Fritchard said he was glad the matter had been mentioned, for it was another feather in the cap of the Bap tists of the State. They had originated the first denominational college they had the first religious paper, and they had founded the first church orphanage. It was not deemed expedient to mention any names, especially as several of these gentlemen are not Baptists; but the en terprise was commended as worthy. THE ENDOWMENT OF WAKE FORREST COLLEGE. As said in a former article, this col lege has $155,000 of well invested en dowment, but because of the large num ber of beneficiary students about 80 out of 200 and also because many poor young men give notes for their tuition, the expenses of the college are greater than the increase last year by $2,300. Dr. C. E. Taylor wishes to make the col lege self-supporting as well as to increase the number of professors, and hence he is trying to raise the endowment to at least $200,000. He made an extended and earnest and really eloquent speech, parts of which affected the audience to tears. He said that six kundred preachers had been educated at Wake forest, be sides a large number of very useful lay men that they had a lovely campus of twenty acres, enclosed with a stone wall, four large buildings well adapted to col lege purposes, eleven professors, two hundred students, sixty of them now promising young preachers, and that the Baptists must get ready for five hun dred students they were coming and that in the near future, he hoped. He told us how in a time of great trial when he had failed to secure help from any ope North, and when it seemed all had been done in North Carolina that could be done, to raise a conditional endow ment, he remembered that some one had given him the name of Mr. J. A. Bost wick, of New York. He wrote Mr. B. asking for an interview. Mr. B. replied that he was very busy and could not see him, but to write him the state of the case and he would consider it. Dr. Taylor wrote a brief letter he wrote it the second time he wrote it the third time, so as to condense and not take the time of a busy man to read a long letter, and then he got down on his knees and spread the letter before the Lord and asked Him to open the heart of Mr. Bostwick. That letter brought- by return mail a check for $10,000. Mr. Bostwick has since given the college $6,000, and now proposes to give one dollar for every two that is raised by the friends of the college up to $50,000. His proposition closes March 1st. 1891, and Dr. Taylor hopes to get from $30,000 to $40,000 in North Carolina by that time, so as to make Wake Forest self sustaining. Addressee were also made by Rev.W.R. Gwathmey, Dr. Durham and Dr. Pritch ard, when a subscription ot about sd.iuu was raised. Very many of those present had already contributed. SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION. I omitted to state in my report of yes terday's proceedings that it was agreed to c?ll a Sunday School Convention in Raleigh next April, with a view to the permanent establishment of such a body. MASS " MEETING ON FOREIGN MISSIONS. At night an immense concourse of people were addressed by Dr. T. P Bell, one of the secretaries of the Board at Richmond on Foreign Missions, for fifty minutes, and a magnificent effort it was, He was followed by Mr. Hickson. once a missionary in China; also, by Rev. C. A. Woodson, of Durham, by Dr. Taylor and Drs. Durham and Pritchard. It was one of the best missionary meetings known in the history of the Convention and the interest rose to the high-water mark last night. Dr. Tavlor said there were three young men at the college who expected to go to the toreign neia, ana one young lady in the church there who had offer ed herself for that work to Dr. Bell. TheN. C. Baptists have now thirty-one men and women in tne toreign neia Star!
