The rumor telegraphed from the City of Mexico that the Chilian steamer Itata had been sunk by the cruiser Charles ton, is discredited at the Navy Depart ment in Washington. Rev. Thos, F. Gaylor has been elected Episcopal Bishop of Georgia. The Peoples' Bank of Knoxville, Tenn., has suspended. The Northwestern R. R. has dis charged all the Union switchmen in its employ and put non-Union men in their places. The loss by forest fires in Michigan is estimated at $3,000,000. The Belmont Oil Works at Phila delphia were almost entirely destroyed by tire yesterday. The Italian Consul at New Orleans alleges that a conspiracy was torraed by Italians there to kill the Mayor and other citizens and :ha: h- prevented its consummation.

Last Friday was Arbor day in New York and it is said that the school children planted 30,000 trees. If King Humbert should be de prived of his job in the King busi ness, he could run a livery stable, as Me owns 2,000 horses. There are very few horses over four years old in Pennsylvania. In that State horses are not taxed until they are four years old. The labor question is settled in Indiana as the Supreme Court of that State has decided that eight hour's work constitute a day's labor. John J. Ingalls is the way he writes his name, but when they get in a hurry out in Kansas they call hira Jon Jmgalls and that jingles all right. Carmencita, the Spanish dancer, is well heeled- With the figures she cut she is better heeled by $50,000 than when she first capered on the American stage. A limestone monument, contrib uted by the Chicago Herald, has been planted at a point about six miles east of Columbus, Indiana, to mark the center of population, that being the point indicated by the last census. We are in receipt of the excellent address delivered on memorial day at Raleigh, by Hon. Wm. R. Cox on the Life and Character of Maj. Gen. Stephen D. Ramseur. It is a lengthy address making a pamphlet of fifty-four pages. Within the past week about a dozen Italians have been arrested in New York for engaging in melees in which the stiletto figured. The stiletto seems to be as much a part of the personal equipment of the average Italian as the hip pocket armament is of the average Ameri can. Some of the followers of Mme. Blavatsky, the Theosophist "priestesss," who died m London last week, think she will come to life again as she has "died" several times and come to life. They talk about cremating her. If they do this she will hardly come to life an other time. The Indianapolis Journal imparts the astonishing information that "Vice-President Morton goes about New York these days in a most quiet and unassuming manner." Vice President Morton should not do this. He should hire an elephant, mount him and go around with a brass band or something of that sort. The idea of a Vice-President "going around in a quiet and unassuming way" is absurd. Four heirs of Millard Fillmore deceased, once President of the U. S., met in Buffalo, New York, lately to divide the residue of his estate, amounting to about $300,000. When they got through the. divide they were so sad that they couldn't stand it and all four of them concluded that a big bender was the thing to assuage theit3 grief and with one ac cord they started out and painted the town red. 1HE Ail VJU1. JNU. 46. A New York dispatch ing of a certain actress, that "it is well understood that the only ob stacle to her marriage with a leading actor is rier husband." This husband seems to be one of these dog-in-the-manger sort of fellows who persist in holding on no matter how much some other fellow may be hankering to get there, and never can be per suaded to get lost, commit suicide, or nothing of that kind. - Destructive forest fires have Deen reported in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan and On tario, by which much property was destroyed and several men engaged in fighting the fire were fatallv burned. Miss Kate Field admits that she is. like other women, a hero worshipper, and wants to know what would be come of the men if women were not hero worshippers. In that case the men might become shero worship pers. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Star Office Printer wanted. May Festival This evening. Munson & Co. The latest styles. Statement Continental Ins. Co.

The hall of the Wilmington Steam Fire Engine Co. No. 1 is under going improvements and repairs. The walls will be papered and a new ceiling made of native pine will be put in. Instead of "several" trains, as printed in the Star yesterday, the Sea coast road will run seven trains each way between Wilmington and Ocean View every day except Sunday. A buggy, driven by a number of little girls, was accidentally over turned at the corner of Front and Ann streets yesterday afternoon. Fortunate ly, no one was hurt, though all were tumbled into the mud. The steamer Wilmington is at Skinner's ship-yard, where painters are putting the finishing touches on her wook-work.

The excursion will be given in aid of the armory fund. Among the excursionists here is a daughter of one of the Siamese twins, who lived near Mount Airy up to the time of their death, many years ago. She is a lady of prepossessing ap pearance, her face indicating frankness and amiability. Two nines composed of A. C.-L. office boys, played a match game of base ball at the Seaside grounds yester day afternoon. It was an extremely tight game, and well played throughout. The "Crows," Capt.

Notwithstanding the inclemeocy of the weather, a large congregation of our most intelligent and appreciative people assembled at the First Presbyterian Church last night to hear the gifted divine, Rev. Moses Hoge, D. D., of Richmond, Va. Wilmington is, indeed, honored in having this great preacher in her midst once more; and those who do not avail themselves of the opportunity of hearing him lose a rare occasion for mental and spiritual advancement. The hearer is at once impressed with the culture of the speaker, and as one lis tens to his earnest discourse a lofty conception of holiness and a profound and abiding faith stand out in "bas re lief." Following the devotional exercises the text was announced: Acts 16:29 "Then he called for a light, and sprang in and came trembling and fell down be fore Paul and Silas."- The sermon was forcible yet simple; a shock to the un converted, yet a soothing voice to the believer; a thunder tone to the godless man a still small voice to him whose hope is anchored on Christ. The speaker most vividly presented that most startling ot all scenes that occurred in the magnificent panorama of St. Paul's life. Paul and Silas thrust into the inner jail, with mangled bodies and bleeding feet, confined in stocks to prevent the slightest freedom of motion, under the intensest suffering. Suddenly, at the midnight hour, instead of groans and la mentations breaking upon the air, a song of praise unto God rang through the blackness and stillness, and the prisoners heard it. God came in power to deliver His children. "Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken and immediately all the doors were opened and every one's bands were loosed." The keeper of the prison, awakening out of sleep and beholding the might of Jehovah, and for aught he knew feeling the very presence of the Almighty, in the terror of the scene called for a light, and falling down at the feet of the Apostles, cried, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" Mind and body in jeopardy the light was craved. The strength of the Gos pel in one sentence was offered "Be lieve on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved." The Holy Spirit veri fied itself and the inquirer was saved. This world represents such a soul and the sinners' hearts such a view. The darkness of time and the horrors of eternity are before them ; but belief on the Lord Jesus Christ will lift the great spiritual darkness. Only a look towards Him is a rift in the clouds that envelope Him, and if he wilt only gaze, a flood of light will illumine his soul. The believer, if he accepts Christ, must also suffer with with Him endure the cross, and if trials and persecutions are the necessary dis cipline for Heaven, he must glory in tribulations, which worketh for him a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. No disgrace for the prisoner of Chillon that he was plunged into prison; marking a beaten path upon the marble floor. How pathetically does England's gifted bard show forth the glory of suf fering in that poem. Jno. Bunyan, played a part in Bed ford jail that no stage on the outside world could have exhibited; that im mortal allegory, "The Pilgrim's Pro gress," leading many a weary sojourner from the City of Destruction to the Celestial gates. It is. said that the nightingale sings sweetest when her bosom rests upon a thorn. Whether natural history sub stantiates this fact or not, I do know that it is true, that God's children sing the sweetest songs in hours of darkest trials. Suffering develops our highest qualities. Brute force may kill the man, but it can never kill the force. On one of Paul's missionary tours, while he spoke near the seaside in a great audience, he had at least one listener. If people do not listen they may as well be deaf. Faith cometh by hearing. The first convert of Europe was a woman, and what a power for a woman always exerts her influence more direct ly than men. When the little girl was asked which she loved best, Christian or Christiana, she replied: "I love Chris tiana best." She carried others with her, but Christian went alone. At this juncture the speaker made an appeal to mothers to consecrate their lives to Christ, which seemed irre sistible. Oh! What a benediction to any household to have a Christian mother, and what a mournful spectacle to see the one whose every tootstep and line of character is imitated, a lover of the world instead of a follower of Him whom to know is life eternal. When the poor girl followed after Paul in her half demoniacal frame of mind, yet hav ing enough light to perceive that he was a man of God, and asking for the light. she was told to " believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved." This mighty truth equal to all occa sions and conditions, fitting the learned aud the ignorant, the high and the low, broadening the narrowest intellect and lifting up the weakest mind. Under all suffering and in all temptations this one text is the power ot God unto salvation. The speaker was once asked for the most solemn verse in the Bible. To his mmd if there is one thought more solemn than all others, it is this declara tion : "The soul that sinneth it shall die." The sinner will not only be con demned in the judgment day, but is now condemned; but blessed thought, the condemnation now may be taken away, but the final condemnation will fix our eternal destiny. If men would only let that text have its . its divine mission, they would not care for any surrounding circumstances, but like the jailor would call for the light and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. We as condemned sinners cannot mend the law, of ourselves, can not by any work or sacrifice or penance obtain pardon; only belief on Him, who from the foundation of the world was the Lamb slain; the sacrifice for sinners offered. Mere sor row for any deed will avail nothing how can sorrow give us that holiness of heart without which no man can see the Lord? Justification and sanctification must be done for us. Justification by what Jesus has done and sanctification by what He has suffered for us. In a nutshell Christ by suffering has shut the door of hell against us, and by His obedience has opened to us the door of heaven. The sinner replies, "This is true, but now can I make it mine ?" The answer comes, "God so loved the world that He cave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish, but have eternal life." Mark the belief Christ in his earthly ministry always commanded the sim plest and what man would call the smallest degree of faith, and con demned the appearance of ;all unbelief. The poor, trembling woman touching but the hem ot His garment, was ' made glad from the very hour that her faith took hold of the Son. Few men understand anything accu rately, fewer still receive the revelation of mysteries, but all have a capacity suf ficient to take in enough of God revealed in the Son in order to be saved. Here the speaker alluded to the cor ner stone the great band of union embracing all true followers ' of Christ. Men may disagree on Church Govern ment modes of discipline but belief on the Lord Jesus Christ is enough to cement us all into one grand brother hood joint heirs with the Lord Jesus himself, and heirs of eternal life. If the spirits of Whitfield and Martin Luther or Jno. Wesley, could answer from the dead, in one grand triumphant chorus would come the swell belief on the Lord Jesus Christ bringeth the victory. If Spurgeon or the Bishop of Peterborough, or any ambassador of Christ from any quarter of the globe, were asked on what do they base their hopes of heaven, the re sponse would instantly. co me belief on Him who died for me and who now liveth and maketh intercession for me. Weather Forecasts. The following are the weather lore casts for to-day: For Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina, rain, slightly warmer, except stationary temperature on the Carolina coast, northwest winds, high on the coast. For Georgia, fair Friday, slightly warmer, north winds. Entertainment To-Night at the City Hall. Ladies' evening at the Y. M. C. A. rooms will give way to-night to the en tertainment at the City Hall, which is being given for the benefit of the fur nishing fundforthe "boys' room" in the new building.

C, viz: Hoist information signals for Wil mington and Wilmington section at 10.30 p. m. Storm off the Carolina coast; high off-shore winds and rain. Brunswick Items.

Woodside has resigned his position as captain of the Woodbury, on account of ill health, and Captain R. M. Potter has been appointed in his place. The County Sunday School Conven tion will be held at Lebanon at eleven o'clock on Saturday before the third Sunday in May. It is hoped that there will be a large attendance. The General Wright, in United States service, passed up the river this week. The Wright will be in service above Wilmington. That necessary improvement, dredg ing out the "cut" to Carolina Beach, has been going on this week. Wilmington parties have the contract. TAR, WHOLE NO. 7,651 THE NEW LUTHERAN CHAPEL To be Opened To-night with a Festival Special Services on Sunday. The new chapel of St. Matthews' Evangelical Lutheran Mission Sunday School is about completed, and to-night a grand Festival and Crowning the May Queen will take place in this chapel. Admission 10 cents. The building has been under charge of Messrs C. W. Polvogt, Dr. S. P. Wright, W. H. Strauss, trustees, and Capt. Coleman Twining, architect. It is a gem, and very much admired by all who have seen it. This mission was established a little over one year ago and now numbers one hundred members. It is under the auspices of St. Paul's Evangelical Luth eran Sunday School. On next Sunday there will be divine services, commencing at 10:30 a. m., and sermon by Rev. F. W. E. Peschau. No services at St. Paul's Evangelical Luth eran.

This mission is not established exclu sively for Lutherans as some have been informed but for all for all are wel come. The workers in it propose to do all the good they can for Christ and His cause, and ask the aid of the good peo ple of Brooklyn and elsewhere. THE EXCURSIONISTS. The Passport Takes Them to Sea, With the Usual Results. The steamer Passport was crowded with excursionists for Carolina Beach, Southport and the "high seas" yester day. Notwithstanding the fact that the Mt. Airy brass band played a "dead march" as the steamer moved gracefully out into the stream, it is very certain they were not playing to a dead crowd. There were "no flowers," no pall-bearers in fact, there was not. the slightest semblance of anything funeral to be seen. The jolly "four hundred" con sisted almost entirely of "our coun try cousins," bent on seeing the ocean and having a good time. With the ex ception of a party of Wilmin&ton ladies and gentlemen, who went to "Orton," and about twenty-five who landed at Southport, the whole crowd went out some six miles to sea, and although there was comparatively smooth water, the effect was just what might have been expected. "Did any body get sick?" asked a Star represen tative of a gentleman from the moun tains. "Right smart," was the reply; and that told the whole story. On the return trip, the excursionists went to Carolina Beach, where a large number took dinner at the Oceanic Hotel, Mr. J. H. Hinton being in charge. A Pleasant Party. A party of ladies and gentlemen spent yesterday at Orton Plantation, and the occasion will be long remembered with pleasure by all who were present. The party consisted of Misses Mary L. Kenan, Tudie Sherwood, Jessie Kenan, Carrie Myers, -May Baaghman, Nellie Carmichael, Nellie Draper, Callie Reid French, Agnes Daniel, Sue Cumming and Messrs. W. A. Dick, R. L. Wil liams, H. H. Mcllhenny, K. M. Mur chison, Jr., and Frank H. Stedman. The ladies were chaperoned by Mrs. W. H. Northrop, and everything "went as merry as a marriage bell." Dinner was spread under the large beautiful trees in which Orton planta tion abounds, and the table groaned with the bountiful supply of good things which were most temptingly displayed andfen joyed. The steam tug Marie conveyed the pic-nickers home, and Mr. K. M. Mur chison, Jr was the recipient of many thanks for the courteous treatment which all received at his hands; as his guests.
