The Chilian insurgent .vessel Italia seized by U. S. authorities at San Diego, Cal., for violation of neutrality laws, made her escape Wednesday night, carrying off the U. S. Deputy Marshal in charge. Secretary Blaine has a vast accumulation of business awaiting his attention at Washington. President Balmaceda, of the Chilian Republic, has rejected the peace over tures of the insurgents. Thirty Tennesseeans have invaded Kentucky after a man named Williams, who shot and killed his wife's two sisters. President Harrison and party left Port land. Oregon, last night, for Washing ton, D. C. In a railroad collision near Dennison, "Ohio, yesterday, one man was instantly killed and a num ber of men were injured.

Mrs. Arthur Wellesley, a grand niece of the Duke of Wellington,5 has opened a flower shop in London. Japan proposes to have a daisy ex hibit at the World's Fair. She has appropriated $500,000 for that pur pose. The U. S. Consul at Vancouver, B. C, at a dinner party declined to rise- to drink a toast to the Queen. Perhaps he was loaded and prudent ly kept his seat. Xo wonder that old man Von Moltke collapsed as he did. He got 513 original poems on the occasion of his 91st birthday. Tackling these was too much for him. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat, Rep., says that "sound money and reciprocity will be the winning issues next year," while Bill McKinley thinks that tin-plate rattle will be the thing. Oat of 5,700 immigrants landed at Halifax between the 1st of January and the 1st of April, 1,500 found their way into this country by the rear route, thus evading the immi gration laws. Mr. Stanley says that under no circumstances will he return to Afri ca. As there is now a Mrs. Stanley, who has something to say, Henry can't slosh about as he had been in the habit of doing. Gov. Hogg, of Texas, believes that one good turn deserves another. The gentleman whom he appointed U. S. Senator to succeed Senator Reagan was the gentleman who nominated him for Governor. When the editors of rival papers get to cartooning each other as the editors of two of the leading St. Louis papers have been doing they measure the intelligence of their readers by their own stupidity. Mr. De Voe is a Hackensack, N. J., citizen who devotes his leisure hours to prognosticating the weather. He -ises to remark that a cold wave will scud over the continent and "strike his sectiorrabout the 28th inst. A Republican paper in Pittsburg, in view of the increased costrof liv ing, advised its readers to eat more oat meal and buy less meat and fewer potatoes. And just about that time the oat meal manufactur ers organized a combine and ran up the price. The denizens of Arizona don't think the Mexican pony and mule up to the modern requirements for freight and passenger traffic, and the Legislature has accordingly offered twenty years exemption from taxa tion to any railroad constructed in the Territory within the next three years. The State of Arkansas failed to make an appropriation for a State exhibit at the World's Fair. There is a movement now to call a State convention to take such steps as will ensure a good representation of the State's resources. It is pro posed to raise a liberal fund for that purpose. VOl.. XLrVIII.-NO. 40. There are some sensible Italians in Philadelphia. There are about 20, 000 of that nationalijty in that city and they are organizing an Italio American League," which is to have branches all over ' the country, the object of which is ' to induce Italians to become American citizens and to cultivate an American feeling amongst them. The French troops are armed with the Lebel rifle, in charging which smokeless powder is used. It is a repeater, and does execution at a range of more than a mile, and is so light that the soldier can carry 220 rounds of ammunition. It dis charges eight shots without re-loading. The pine districts of Southern New Jersey have been the scene of the most destructive forest fires seen in many years. Bad forest fires are also reported in Pennsylvania and New York. Most of these fires start from sparks from railroad engines, and it seems might be prevented. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. E. A. Poe Brick for sale. Star Office Printer wanted. Munson & Co. Suits to order.

Whitehead was out yesterday, after a few days' confinement in a "grip" sack. But he don t look a bit like a man who would like to tackle John L. Sullivan for a "fight to a finish." Yesterday afternoon Capt. O. A. Wiggins was seen at tne rear en trance to the First National Bank in close confab" with one Burrus. A Star representative heard something said about "4 o clock in the morning, and immediately "caught on." Hark, Rover! Bishop Oscar P. Fitzgerald was originally a practical printer and worked on the old Richmond Examiner, when John M. Daniel was editor. He some times wrote editorials tor tne paper, which were approved by Mr. Daniel. This was in itself a high compliment to and an early recognition of that ability which has since made him a distin guished Bishop.

LOCAL DOTS. Items of Interest Gathered - Here and There sad Briefly Noted. Tax-listing will begin June 1st The children of Miss Hart's school will go on an excursion to-day to Ivanhoe, on the C. F. & Y. V. railroad. Messrs. R. B. & W. C. Moore, at their store near Front street market, have a big rooster only one year old that weighs 8i pounds.

The trim little steam launch Navassa made the run from Meares' Bluff to Wilmington, yesterday, in twenty minutes. Distance four miles over a very crooked river. The Passport is expected to take the place of the Wilmington next Tuesday. The Wilmington will be laid off for nearly a week to be painted. She will then begin her regular schedule to Carolina Beach. A large party of excursionists arrived here yesterday morning from Bennettsville, S. C, in a special on the C. F. & Y. V. railroad. They spent the day at the Sound, returning to the city in the evening, and will leave for home this afternoon at 4 o'clock. The importance of ,the oyster industry, in which Wilmington is very much interested, is shown in a very strong light by the fact that a mass meeting was recently held in the Con cordia Opera House, Baltimore, to con sider the means for the practical restora tion and recuperation of the Maryland oyster industry. THE TRUCK TRADE. Crop Prospects in the Norfolk Section. Farmers around Wilmington like to keep posted about the crop prospects in other sections. They will be more interested in knowing that all crops in the Norfofk section are about ten days late, according to a report of a commission merchant who has investi gated the situation, and who adds: There is a larger acreage of potatoes planted, but owing to so much rain the seed have decayed, and it is not though t that any more barrels will be shipped than there was one year ago. The shoots are up, on an average, three inches. No shipments can be made be fore June 15; many say June 20. Cabbage will commence to go for ward about May 10. The crop is a fair one. About the same area was planted as in 1890. Beans are just coming up and will be ready for shipping by June 15 to 20. Cucumbers are just popping out of the ground. FOR THE HAMMOCKS.

The Southport Leader says: "Through the liberality of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Dosher, of this city, the Methodist E. Church is in position to dedicate its new building next Sunday, when Bishop Galloway will be here. The gift of Mr. and Mrs. Dosher was the cancellation of the mortgage held by them against the church, amounting to $1,000, which leaves about $300 necessary to be raised, and which the friends of the church be lieve can be secured this week. It is the wish of all that this handsome edi fice be at once cleared from debt and dedicated by Bishop Galloway during his visit here. Southport Election. The city election at Southport was held last Monday. It was a close con test between the Democrats and Repub licans. D. I. Watson was elected Mayor, and the following Board of Aldermen: Moses McKeithan. Rep.; E. A. Grissom, Rep.; Asa Doscher, Rep.; R. Doschet, Jr., Dem.; Wm. Weeks, Dem. Painfully Hurt. Mr. Thos. C.

Mr. Armstrong's left hip was severely bruised and he received a slight cut on his right ear. WILMINGTON'S WELCOME TO THE BOARD OF MISSIONS OF THE M. E. CHURCH SOUTH. Eloquent Addresses bv Rev. Dr. Creasy, Hev. Mr. Swindell, and Response from Bishop Keener. Grace M. E. Church, profusely and beauteously decorated by the ladies, was the scene last evening'of a reception ten dered by the Methodists of the city to the ten Bishops of the M. E. Church South, now in attendance on the meet ing of the Board of Missions in this city, and the event was enjoyed by a large concourse of people. In the absencexf CoL Cole, President of the Board of Missions. Rev. Dr. P. A. Peterson,' next in office, conducted the preliminary exercises, which consisted of music and a fervent prayer by Rev. Dr. Rogers, of the Baltimore Confer ence. Rev. Dr. Creasy then in behalf of the Methodists and the city delivered a very interesting and stirring address of wel come. He said: this is a glorious oc casion for, the city of Wilmington, and especially the Methodists, and he took peculiar pleasure in welcoming those whose coming among us is to further the cause of Christ at home and abroad. He had, he said, in preparing his remarks for the evening called to his aid a layman in his church, who had materially aided him by giving him valuable statistics concern ing the establishment ?nd upbuilding of Methodism in Wilmington. He the then gave a very interesting history of William Merideth in this city, begin ning in 1744, who suffered much perse cution and preached from the jail win dows to the colored people, among whom he labored chiefly, but by whose efforts and those of his co-laborer Mr. Jennett. the seed was sown from whieh Methodism in Wilmington has grown to its present proportions. The bodies of these two faithful men were first in terred under old Front Street Church but now rest under the pulpit of Grace Church .having been tenderly removed after the fire of 1886 which, destroyed Front Sreet Church. Bishops Andrews, Wightman and Capers he said had been important fac tors in the building up of Methodism in this city, all of these having labored here. Six Methodist churches have been built. Six years ago the fire fiend reduced to ashes old Front Street church, so dear to her people; the bell. as the fare released its support, tolling its own requiem. The kind hearted He brews tendered to the feeble and distress ed band their house of worship, and for two years and three months they wor shiped there. Three and a half years ago they entered their new home with a membership of 208;now they number 475. There have been built in the city two other churches and there are two other points occupied as mission stations. The church has in good working order all the societies directed by the General Conference. There are more than thir teen hundred white Methodists in Wil mington who give cordial greeting to their distinguished guests. In 1850 Jenny Lind, the Swedish Nightin gale, came to New York. Her welcome was unique and superb; an artificial grove had been formed at the landing, arches erected and flags floating on which were inscribed "WELCOME;" but this welcome was not for her song but for her singing. We welcome this Board of Missions for both their song and their singing, for they sing of Jesus and his love and teach us to sing and teach others to sing, and aa the mis sionaries bring souls to Goal angels sing, "peace on earth, good will to man." May they go on singing and teaching others to sing until from the watch-tower of Asia comes the watchword, ''One Lord," and from Africa, the cry comes, One faith," and from Europe the herald proclaims, "One baptism," while America takes up the strain and echoes, "One Lord, one faith, one baptism." Rev. Mr. Swindell followed Mr. Creasy in an address full of interest and varied in its character. He said he had looked forward to this meeting with peculiar pleasure, believing it an augury for. good. As Dr. Creasy had given an account of the rise and growth of Methodism in Wilmington, he would try to say something of the history of the city. He then began with the settling of "Town Creek," about ten miles below Wilmington, by the Puri tans in 1660, and traced rapidly the suc cessive attempts at settlement at other points on the river near here, up to 1730, when the first house was built on the present site of Wilmington, first called "Newton," then "New Liverpool" and finally Wilmington, in honor 'of Spence Compton, Earl of Wilmington. That the visitors might form an estimate of the commerce and business of the city he gave the amount and character of the exports during the past year, con sisting chiefly of cotton, rosin, tar. tur pentine and peanuts. One of the ques tions in an old geography was "what are the principal exports of North Carolina?" And the answer, 'was "tar, pitch and tur- pentine,"and we are trying to keep up our reputation. The patriotism of the Wilmington people has long been known, for they assisted the Bostbnians in their execution of the "stamp act" by refusing to allow a vessel bringing stamps to this port to landt While Charlotte claims to be the birth place of American Independence, Wilmington organized a few days after that declara tion of independence, a vigilance com mittee to assist in the resistance to British oppression. He was, he said, especially glad to welcome this Board of Missions because of the work which brought them together that of 'sending the gospel to all nations. One thousand, eight hundred and fifty years ago the King of Kings isrued his decree, and for centuries He has awaited the fulfilment of His command. It tias been esti mated that thirty billions of people have existed since Christ gave His great commission; if these were placed ten abreast, passing each second, it would take nearly a century for them to go by. Every one who has perished without the gospel has gone to judgment, to accuse the Church of unfaithfulness. But the Church is working up on this line. Never has there been so many agencies at work for the spread of the gospel, and never such encouragement to Christian workers. Never have there been so many voices calling from distant lands, openings of providence, and we cannot afford to close our ears to these cries. Methodism has' done more, we believe, than any other Church for mis sions. The great revival of John Wes ley, its founder, quickened religious life and awoke the people to a sense of their duty to others, and this has shaped largely the religion of both hemi spheres. Wesley embodied the mis sionary spirit in all his teachings. He said, "the world is my parish." Wher ever the gospel is preached the Metho dists have heralds of the Cross telling the people that the blood of Christ can save. 1 believe the world is to be captured for Christ and and we want a hand in the work that we may have the commenda tion. "Well done, good and faithful servant." To be more thoroughly stimulated the people need completejn formation, and emphasis of individual relation to the work. Knowledge does not'always result in zeal but knowledge is necessary to success. What set on fire the heart of Cary, the cobbler? He gathered all the information he could about the destitution in foreign lands, made him a map out of leather and as he worked at his bench studied the comparative con dition of the heathen and Christain world until his zeal forced him to go to the benighted land. Not until the moral and religious condition of the heathen is brought and impressed viv idly on the minds and hearts of the peo ple will they be aroused to their privil ege and duty. It must be burned into their conciences until each is made to feel that he is here to take up the work which Christ laid down, and this con viction must be vital and vitalizing. Let this conception become overwhelm ing and the stream of salvation, now running so sluggishly, will water the waste places of the earth. Dr. Peterson then introduced, in. a few happy remarks, the senior Bishop, Rev. Dr. Keener, who in a short, bright, cheery speech responded on the part of the Bishops to these addresses of wel come. He said he had been entertained and instructed. He believed Methodism was a community of joy, and as long as we have this fruit which does not grow on nature's soil, we shall .have perfect unity. The Saviour has suffered scan dal a long time in the fact that the Church has moved slowly in the conver sion of the world, and as I grow older I feel a personal responsibility from which no one can relieve me. Methodism owes its existence to missionary impul ses; the Holy Spirit the same force that sent Whitfield all along this coast raised up Methodism on a missionary basis if on any thing, yet we. have moved very slowly. We have, by a strange providence of God, been thrown in contact with more heathen than all Christendom has ever had the means of reaching. Nations have been sent to us to whom we have not gone. We have seen people of the very lowest strata elevated to the light and liberty of the gospel. I suppose more heathen have gone to heaven from the South than from any where else; but they have changed; they build churches, attend conferences, at tend the Eucemenical Council in all things maintain their dignity, for many of them are very intelligent, and we are not ashamed of them. The first batch of Methodists converted after Mr. Wesley, were converted in a jail, and in ten days were hung, and as Mr. Wesley said, "all went off in a good' frame of mind.' Mr. Wesley preached to them after their conviction, and all but two were soundly converted. Dr. Creasy spoke of Mr. Meredith preaching to the colored people from the jail ; window. The world can be divided into two parts the part in jail and the 'part out. So with Methodism. I admire elegance and do not believe it incompatible with spirituality and sin cere worship, as was thought in the days of Wesley; but let us not forget our- TAR WHOLE NO. 7,645 selves. Religion must have in it the soul of joy, warmth, life, to bring people from under the influence of the arch enemy. To-night an address on "Mission Work in Japan" will be delivered by Rev. Dr. Lamberth, a missionary from that country. The public is cordially invited. A COLD SNAP. Heavy Frosts in All Sections No Dam age Yet Beported to Crops. There was a big white frost yesterday morning on the Sounds and in and around Wilmington, but it could not be learned to what extent growing crops and fruit had suffered, as the market-men and others from whom reports were obtained left home too early in the day to ascertain the damage to vegeta tion. Passengers on the Onslow railroad from Jacksonville .report a heavy frost in that section. . . A gentleman from Lake Waccamaw reports frost in that section and the mercury down to 42 at 7 a. m. The minimum temperature recorded at the Wilmington station yesterday was 41 degrees and the maximum 66 degrees. The area of high pressure moved very sluggishly and was central over the cen tral Mississippi Valley. Itacts as a bar rier against the approach of warm air, but it is thought that more spring-like weather will prevail to-day. A special bulletin from the Chief Signal officer at Washington says the cold weather prevailing over the coun try for the past three or four days has been of unusual severity, extent and duration, and has been accompanied in some sections by lower temperatures for this season and later frosts than ever previously recorded by the Signal Ser vice. For the past two days the tem perature over the greater portion of the country east of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers and in the Southwest has been from ten to twenty degrees below the normal. Severe frosts have occurred throughout the Lake region, the Ohio, upper Mississippi and Missouri Valleys, and were reported yesterday as far south as North Carolina and South Tennessee, which is later than there is any previous records of in those States. Minimum tempera tures of 34 and 38 degrees, respectively, were reported yesterday morning from Lynchburg and Raleigh, which is the lowest on record for those stations for the first decade of May by one and two degrees. Bishop O. P. Fitzgerald. A Star representative, and one who knew him well, had a brief but pleasant interview yesterday with the above dis tinguished dignitary of the M. E. Church South. He is one of the ten Bishops now in our city in attendance on the sessions of the Foreign Mission Board of the Church, the work of which is of greatest importance and will be con tinued for several days to come. Bishop Fitzgerald is a North Carolinian by birth but his youth and early manhood were spent in Virginia, where he acquired the knowledge of the "art preservative," and laid the foundation for the eminence he has attained in the editorial guidance of one of the leading organs of the Church, and finally reaching the high est dignity which could be conferred upon him. Many pleasant recollections of youthful days were revived in the in terview and the utmost familiarity char acterized all of the talk. A Racing Accident. Yesterday morning, John Moore, a young colored man employed as a driver by Messrs. S. H.Sanders & Co., while out with a sulky, soliciting ordeA, began racing with another colored driver, John Clinton, on Fourth street, near Camp bell. Moore's sulky was overturned, and his foot catching in the seat of the vehicle he was dragged through the street over Fourth street bridge and as far as Hanover street, where, -while passing Mr. H. L. Fentress' drug -store, Dr. Scott ran out and stopped the horse. When Moore was picked up heu was bleeding at the mouth. His injuries are mostly internal. He was resting easy yesterday afternoon. The University Alumni. One well posted informed our re porter yesterday that the Wilmington alumni were the best organized and most enthusiastic in the State. The an nual meeting will be held at 6:30. o'clock to-night, at The Orton. Immediately after the meeting there will be a ban quet. These annual reunions are most enjoyable, and the one this year will be more largely attended than any that has yet been held. Those who wish to join and who have not yet given in their names to the Secretary, Mr. M. C. S. Noble, should do so to-day. The Conoly Murder. A dispatch to the Star last night from Maxton says that a committee of citizens met at Mill . Prong, Kobeson county, yesterday," to investigate the Conoly murder. They commenced their investigation yesterday afternoon and will probably continue it for two or three days.
