What Will They Do P t There are many rumors and guesses as to! what the Rep.-Poplican Legislature will do with Wilmington. A recent ru mor is that there will be no change in the hmindanes of the Wards: that the Mayor will be elected by the vote of the city at large, and that a Commission will be created with power to appoint policemen and all minor employes. That some important changes will be made is as certain as is the love of the new com hi nation for the spoils of office; but it is not likely that any plan has yet been definitely agreed npon WILMINGTON, N.

The attention of the public is called to a slight change in the schedule on the Seaboard Air Line affecting the afternoon train, which leaves here at 8.20 instead of 8 45. Many of the Southern cities are making an energetic effort to secure the location of tome of the New England cotton mills that are coming South. Is Wilmington in this procession?

The new location, will be much more desirable than the present one. , While the Pops, are so busy in abolishing and amending, they might as well change the name of their Raleigh organ from Caucasian to Bumtcorkasian. This would suit the color of its politics. The Star s .special reports from Raleigh yesterday were "up to date," covering everything that occurred In the Legislature of any interest. 'With two special reporters there, the Star will be able to keep its readers fully posted. A correspondent of an Atlanta paper writing from Fickling, Ga., says: "The farmers have gone to work in earnest, each believing that his neighbor intends to plant less cotton, while he himself will get rich by doubling j his crop. This shows that there are lots of fools still living. It is announced that ten of the leading fruit canneries of Baltimore, which have been closed since the 1st of October, will resume operations to morrow. As they will give employment to about fifteen hundred people, the resumption looks very much like busi ness. North Carolina should have more canneries. W ben tne picturesque news paper correspondent tells you that Jeter ritchard is prominently "mentioned' as a candidate for the Vice-Presidency, and that there is still strong talk of a combination of Democrats and Republi cans to defeat Butler and Pritchard for the Senate, you may bet your life he is hard up" for news. FREIGHTING ON THE CAPE FEAR. Tne Nitihi with Xlttboat in Tow .Deft For Vajrettevtlle Teaterday. The tug boat Anna left Wilmington last Thursday evening for Fayetteville to bring down a fUtboat for the steam boat company. About twenty-five m lies below Fayetteville she met the flat, took it in tow and brought it to Wilmington, arriving at 9 SO a. n. yesterday. The freight on the flat was 2 bales cotton, 269 barrels resin, 9 casks spirits turpentine, 55 barrels tar, 24 bags corn and a quan tity of country produce. The steam yacht Navassa. chartered by the Transportation Companv. left here yesterday at 5 p. m. for Fayette ville, with the flat brought down by the Anna, carrying the mails and way freight only. The Navassa with tow is expected to return about the middle of the week, and will continue her trips be tween the two places until other ar rangements are made. Capt. Jeff. Bradshaw was in command of the Navassa. Bhort Sermons. A new story is being told" about min isters who preach long sermons. A stranger occupied the pulpit of a church in Louisiana one Sunday, and at the close of an unusually brief discourse made his apologies to one of the vestry men. "I hope you will excuse excuse my brevity this morning," said the crestfallen clergyman. "No excuse! necessary," was the cheerful reply. "Your sermon was. delightful." "Well, said the reverend gentleman, "I'm glad to hear you say so; but, to tell the truth, I never preached under greater difficul ties. When I started I was horrified to And that my dog had got hold of my MS. and chewed most of it beyond rec ognition." "Is that so?" queried the astonished vestryman. "Well, your ser mon was excellent, and I can only say that vou will confer a great favor on this parish by sending us one of those pups." Oee Zee Beonperating. Our neighbor-in-law Gee Zee came down from Raleigh yesterday to load up with pointers on conservative legisla tion. Gee Zee wasn't elected Speaker, but he was in the chair long enough one day to decide that the rules could be susoended bv a maioritv vote. But Gee Zee and Tom Reed are from the same State; and the Czar used to count hats, umbrellas and tobacco smoke when he wanted to make a quorum. STATE LEGISLATURE. A THANKSGIVING DAY DISCUSSION IN THE SENATE. Bill to Beduea the Official Bond of the 8heriff of Pitt County Bashed Through the House In Viol t ion of an Understand ing That TSo legislative Bnsinesa Was to be Transacted. Special Star Correspondence Raleigh. N. C, Jan. 19, 1895. SENATE, The Senate was called to order at 10 o'clock a. m. by President R. A. Dough ton, and prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. Branson, of Raleigh. The journal was read and approved. Mr. Lindsay introduced a bill to re duce expenditures of public institutions thirty-three and a third per cent., anq to elect a general board of directors there for. Bill for the relief of W. J. Sutton, late Sheriff of Bladen county, passed third reading. Bill to amend the charter of the town of Mt. Airy, and to-establish a system ct graded schools therein, passed its third reading. Bill providing for convicts working on the countv farm In Bertie county, passed us second reading ana was then re -referred to the committee. Bill to amend section 733 of the Code, regarding costs of criminal cases, was re-referred to the Committee on Judi ciary. Bill to amend the charter of the city of Winston passed second reading. Bill regarding chattel mortgages was laid upon the table, it already being a law. Bill to amend the charter of the Nor folk. Wilmington & Charleston Railway Company passed third reading , Bui. to make the call of the Governor of the State for Thanksgiving day "or thodox" was discussed by Senator Lind say, of Rockingham, who warmly advo cated it. He said that the day which was now supposed to be a day of thanksgiving was made a day of sport, of horse racing, of dancing and' of baseball playing through out the country. Mr. Starbuck thought it would be folly to pass this bill, and moved that it be laid upon the table. but withdrew it for Senator McClosky to make some remarks. He thought that the people of the United States had many things to be ttiaoklul lor, but took his seat without stating whether he fa vored the bill or not. Mr. Parsons, of Hyde, discoursed on the bill and advanced the - idea that a man could not be made to pray and give thanks unless he wanted to. He opposed the bill. Mr. Abell offered an amendment to the bill so as to make it read that thanks shall be given to the Almighty that the political conditions ol the country are no worse than they are. Mr. Moody said he would not like to be subjected to the dictation of any Governor as to the time when he should pray, especially the present Governor, who used to be a good i nira party man and was now a Democrat. The Bible says that we should pray all the time, and he did not think it was necessary for the Governor to dictate in the matter. Mr. Lindsay again warmly championed his bill. . Mr. Black, of Mitchell, took the floor and expressed righteous surprise that there was any opposition to the bill. He though the time bad arrived when thanks ought to be given that the Democratic party bad been deleated in North uaro Una and that the people had come into power. Mr. Ammons, ot Madison, went back to the days of the Colonial settlement and reviewed the things that we have to be thankful for. Mr. Adams challenged the statement ol Mr. Moody that the present Governor of North Carolina bad been tinged with Populism. He contradicted the state ment and said that the Governor had been a Democrat from his youth. He paid a high tribute to Governor Carr. He then moved that tne bin lie upon the table and the motion prevailed after nearly an hour had been consumed in a rambling and unprofitable discussion Bill to authorize the Commissioners ot Haywood county to levy a special tax passed its second reading. Bill to correct an error in the law creating cotton weighers at Tarboro passed thud reading. Bill denning lard and to regulate the sale thereof was re-reterred to the torn mittee on Judiciary.

C, passed third reading. Bill to amend chapter 198. Laws of 1889. regarding the pension of soldiers in the late war was laid- upon the table. Mr. Stat buck offered a resolution pro viding for a committee of nine on muni cipal government three on the part ot the Senate and six oa the part of the House to have charge of matters re lating to the repeal ot the county gov ernment system, municipal bills, etc The resolution was referred to the Committee on Counties, Cities- and Towcs. Mr. Abell offered a resolution that the clerks and doorkeepers furnish a list of the employes of the Senate and House and the per diem paid them. Mr. White offered an amendment to include the Keeper of the Capitol. Mr. Starbuck offered an amendment asking for a like statement of the Legis latureof 1893 The amendments and resolution were adopted and the Senate then ad journed. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES House met . at 10 o'clock,' Mr. Ewart in the chair. Prayer by Rev. Dr. Ed ward Bull, of Newbern. Mr. Walker, from the. Committee on Enrolled Bills, called up the bill to re duce the official bond of the sheriff of Pitt county, and asked that the same be enrolled. The acting Speaker started to put the question, when Mr. Peebles arose and stated that there was an understanding on both sides that the House would meet to-day, but no legislation was to be transacted Mr. Lusk, Republican, said the matter was a privileged one and outside of the understanding, but his side was willing to s;av here till Monday it necessary to carry it through Mr. Peebles demanded the ayes and noes. Mr. Ray arose to a point of order.. but the Democrats began . to leave the ball to avoid a quorum, and no vote was taken on Mr. Peebles' motion, and the Chair showed no effort to get one. The Chair put the original question by a yea and nay vote and declared it car ried, and the bill was ordered to be enrolled. The bill had passed both houses, and to become a law bad to be ordered enrolled before Monday. Having carried through this little piece of delayed legislation, a motion to adjourn was rapidly put by the acting speaker and declared carried. 1895. The Democrats claimed that the un derstanding was violated by the injection of this piece of legislation. They could have filibustered and kept the House all day by retiring to avoid a quorum. The rushing desire of the acting Speaker to complete the enrollment, enabled the op position to carry the bill through. WILMINGTON MUST WAKE UP. She Unit Have Many Manuf aoturln g Iq- dnatriea-Thia Xa Her Main Chance. When Wilmington gives such an ex hibition of enterprise as is outlined in the annexed dispatch, the Star will be gin to believe that the hour of her com mercial redemption is at hand : Columbia, S. C, Jan. 15. At a spe cial meeting ot the. City Council to- .night, a committee consisting of Mayor ' Sloan and three aldermen were appoint ed to visit the North for the purpose of putting before manufacturers and capi talists the advantage of Columbia as a site for manufacturing enterprises and to induce investments in this section. The committee is authorized to guarantee an exemption for 10 years of manufacturing enterprises from all city taxes. An or dinance to this effect was passed some time ago. It is understood that the boatd of trade will send a committee supple mentary to this one." It is not competent under the Consti tution of North Carolina to grant ex emptions from taxation, but Wil mington might do what js pro posed in Augusta. There is new a : proposition before the Council of that city to establish a system of as sessments for five years which would be equivalent to an exemption from taxa tion from all improvements made be teen the assessments. Lawvers of abil ity say that this plan would not violate the provision of the Constitution that "all taxation shall be uniform." The people of Wilmington may as well realize at once that., without many and varied manufacturing industries the growth of their city, both in wealth and population, will be painfully slow. A SUGGESTION. As to Industries That Would Pay in Wil mington. Editor Morning Star: There has been a great deal of talk in the past lew weeks about enterprises that could be made to pay in Wilming ton. If you will allow me a little ot your valuable space I would like to suggest an industry that with proper manage ment I know would succeed. The industry I have reference to is the manufacture of baskets, crates and brooms. Wilmington has a growing need for such an industry. We have cheap transportation, excellent railroad connections and last but not least, cheap labor. A stock company, organized on the co-operative plan, would se cure not only the city trade, but a fair proportion of the patronage of the surrounding country. This scheme should certainly merit the attention of merchants who have the welfare of our city at heart. A commit tee will wait on them in a few days to get their views on this subject. A crate and berry basket factory which has only been in operation about one year at Rockingham, is now paying large dividends, and a similar industry at Warsaw is paying handsomely. Con sidering the large shipments ot berries North during their season there is no reason why a dozen such factories in this section shouldn't pav. Some of our farmers use crates shipped here from Alabama, the demand being greater than the supply. Wilmington, The Kitohen Marker, There were abundant supplies of fresh meats, poultry, fish and vegetables in the markets yesterday, and at prices reason able enough to meet the views of buyers, The markets have been almost over stocked with dressed poultry during the week, but the low prices stimulated pur chases: that have about cleaned up stocks in dealers' hands. Dressed tur keys sold at 10 to 12Jc per pound; fowls, 25 to 80c; eggs, 15 to 16 cents per dozen. The butchers' stalls were filled with fine beef at 10 to 12Jc per pound; pork, 10c; sausage, 12c; venison, 15 to 20c. In the vegetable market there were cabbage at 5 to 10c per head; collards, 5c; turnips, 5c per bunch; lettuce, 5c; pota toes, white, 35c per peck, sweets, 20c; celery 50c per bunch, onions 5c per quart, spinach, 25c per peck. Oysters, from Mew River, 25c per quart; Myrtle Grove. 15c, and sounders, 10 to 13c; mullets, 10c per string; trout, 25c. A WELL DIRECTED SHOT Bat It Cannot Penetrate the Hide ot a ! Bhinoeeroa. The Baltimore Sun expresses the feel- me of everv true Southern man in the following paragraph: "The Popnlistsof the North Carolina Senate emphasized their littleness yes terday by voting down a pint resolution which had passed the House to adjourn over until Monday in order to observe to-day, the birthday of Gen. Robett E. Lee. These legislators might well stop one nay m their dangerous and ex tremely partisan legislation which they are rushing through at breakneck speed to pay a tribute to the memory of Lee, in whose splendid career ana exaitea character every Southern man especially should take pride. It seems almost in explicable that in North Carolina, which furnished thousands of gallant soldiers to the Army of Northern Virginia, a single man should be found unwilling to honor the memory of the distinguished soldier who led that army to so many brilliant victories.'
