The weekly statement of cotton snd aaral storea may be found In the commercial columns of the Star this morning. As usual for this season of the year cottoa la by far the largest item. Toe receipts for the week ending yesterday were 19.800 bales, agamat 18.018 for the corresponding week in 1898. Season's receipts ap to snd includiog yesterday were 85.179 bales, which la about 883- per ceaL larger than last year, when the receipts to the same dats were 8J.923. although the crop last year waa con siderably earlier. Toe unprecedented dry weather this sesson. ot course, accounts largely for the increase, aa the farmers hare never had aucb weather for bar- vesting the crop. Bat weather condi tions, aa affecting hat vettingcan hardly be responsible for the wbolef the an- usaal increase. A pirt ot it is due to the fact that the crop ia larger than it was last year. The local market yeaterday waa not characterized by the time activity that made It oa the day before lend ao much encouragement to( those who are aoxioua for the price to reach that point where It is at least moderately profit able to the grower.

The management of the Opera House offers aa the next attraction the humor ous comedy drama. ' Joshua Simpkina." next Tuesday evening. It is a strong rural comedy, opening with a realistic scene of rural home life. showing Skinner Tavern, with Uncle Joeb'a wild briar farm in the distance. The play progresses, abounding with in teresting situations, until the climax ia reached, in the third act. whea a human being ia helpleeeJy bound to a log to be cut in twain by a mammoth buzz saw, snd is only saved by the timely arrival of Uncle Josh. "Joshua Simpkina" was written with the view of keeping an au dience thoroughly amused, and it fully carries out the author'a intention. The plot ia not allowed to interfere with the comedy parts to any great extent, thus producing a play that ia not only thru lingly interesting, but is said to contain as many laugha aa there are grains in a -heaped up" buahel of wheat.

O. aiax aider, Wbo Died of Hemaribaxlo afalarial Ware t the Bwmit'j Home. The body of H. O. Alexander, the while maa who died of hemorrhagic malarial fever Thursday afternoon at the Seaman's Home, and whose death caused several nonsensical rumors of yellow fever to be circulated (as told in the Star), waa interred yeaterday morn ing at 10 o'clock io Oak Grove ceme tery. Mr. H. A. Kara, proprietor of the Sea man's Home, received a telegram Thurs day night in answer to one he had ssnr, asking him to ship the body to Charles ton, S. C, to the Magnolia cemetery, but as the telegram was not definite enough about arrangementa for shipping the body aad the expenses, the deceased waa buried yeaterday morning. Shortly after 1 o'clock yeaterday af ternoon Mr. J. W. Norwood, president of the Atlantic National Bank, received the following telegram from Mr. N. A. Hunt, ot Charleston, S. C , a retired well-to-do merchant of that place, viz: "Go to Seaman's Home lu Wilmington snd ascertain If Henry Alexander is dead. Advadce $25 to undertaker to forward bjdy to Charleston to-day. An swer immediately." Mr. Norwood upon ascertaining that the body of Alexander had been in terred, immediately wired Mr. Hunt aa follows: "Stranger, about thirty-fire years old, ergistering H. O. Alexander, Summerville, S. C, died at 4 o'clock yeaterday alternoon. Buried at 10 o'clock this morning. Have written," All yesterday there were a lew incred ulous people who moved around trying to make other people miserable, Baying there waa something decidedly mysteri ous about Alexander's death; which was nonsense of the most absurd typs. Alex ander's death was due entirely to hemorrhagic malarial fever, which dis ease caused two deaths in the city last month, as the record in the Superinten dent of Health's office will show. M r. Martin O'Brien stated to a Star represen tative yeaterday that Alexander was ia his place of baslness, corner of Nutt and Red Cross streets, a few days ago, 10 company with several other men; that when the party waa about to leave, Alexander said they were going to Southport. ' That was the last I saw of Alexander," said Mr- O'Brien, "until Tuesday last, whea be again made his appearance at my store, and went into a back room and laid down, saying he was sick, having had fevers, and was unable to keep nourish ment on his stomach. " Mr. O'Brien said that he made Alexander comfortable. and let him go to aleep. Later, Alexan der awoke and left, returning the next day, saying that he felt better and thank ing Mr. O'Brien for his kindness to him, and then once more, and for the last time, Idt the store. Tbe statement A exander made to Mr. O'Brien, coupled with the circum stances in the cise. show plainly that there ia not the slightest reason for be lieving or thinking that the disease which caused Alexander'a death was other than hemorrhagic malariaFfever, as diagnosed by several of Wilmington's best physi cians. The last time Alexander saw Mr. O'Brien, be said that he had just come from Bennettsville, S. C. which state ment ia verified by a letter of recent date found on bis person after deatb, written by his sister in Sammerrille. S C, and addressed and received at Ben nettsville. BOAKD OF HEALTH. Bereral H-ttera of Importasee Conaidered at MaetJns Held Veatcrday. The Board of Health met at the usual hour yesterday morning, Mayor S. P. Wright, M. D., presiding. Superinten dent of Health W. D. McMillan secre tary, and Dr. George G. Thomas and Mr. W. H. Chadbourn in attendance. For about three weeks there haa been a cargo of rice at the station of the C. F. & Y. V. railroad at Point Peter, which came from New Orleans,.L3., consigned to certain parties in this city. Upon the arrival of the car the Super intendent of Health forbid the railroad company bringing the car or its c intents across the river to the city. Yesterday the question was agitated again, but the Board of Health decided not to allow the rice to be brought into the city. It was decided that all sewer pipes laid in the city after yesterday most be ot a certain kind, corresponding with a sample in tbe possession of the board. Article 15 of the special health ordi nance allows digging up of the ground during any time between the months of October and June of each year, so the Board petitioned the Board of Alder men to change the ordinance so as not to allow any digging at any time without permission of the Board of Health. Thla, of course, does not mean digging on private property. The meeting then adjourned. People Talked Abaui Yellow Fever Tea- trdr- Toe yellow fever scaie was on here yesterday quite generally. Even the very reassuring statements in the pa pers about the nature of the disease with hich tbe suspected person died did not keep a good many people from be lieving that there was really ground for fear. A good part of the conversation on the streets, in the stores and in tbe family had a distinctly yellow tinge about lu Colored M.o'e HI tbt foct Irjured. George Bowden. a colored man, aged about 40 years, while unloading kainlt from the British steamship Kirkhill, had his right foot painfully mashed. He claims that his employer ought to sup port him while he is laid up. If there is anything yoa want, ad vertise for it. Is there anything yon don't want?

Second Exhibition Qam a Between Baltimore ' and Boston Won by the Orioles Soore 8 to 6. Again yesterday Baltimore and Bos ton made an exhibit of themselves more for money than for glory. The game was played at Springfield, Mass., and while neither team tried to distinguish itself, yet three thousand people man aged to be supplied with excitement. Klobedanz they blame with Boston's defeat, as this individual at tjmes forgot the location of tbe pan, and when he did see it clear enough to push tbe horseskin straight, somehow the Orioles would unfortunately (for tbe Bean eates) hit it. When Doyle quietly waltzed to the plate for the first time a handsome watch, chain and charm was presented to him by his fellow towns men Of Holojke.

Under the rays of a bright moon last night about eleven o'clock a bold negro entered tbe cabin of the schooner Jokn H, Kuck, lying near the foot of Market street, and appropriated for his private use the following named articles, to-wit: Two coats, a clock, a pair of shoes, two shirts, a bat and a revolver. A bag con taining $17 in money stowed away in a locker was not taken. Two of the crew came aboard just as the tbief was emerging from the cabin with his newly acq tired wardrobe. He said "good evening" to them so pleasantly and seemed so much at home that they thought he had spoken passage, and one of them turned to get a drink of water. The other smelled a rat. however, and went for the tbief, wbo hurried off, drop ping the shoes and shirts in his haste. The two men gave chase, but the thief was not to be taken. It is thought that the guilty party ia the same one who took a double bar relled gun from one of the boats on night bsfore last. SUNFLOWER CONCERT. Delishtfal aad TJaiq.ue Batertaiument Last Brenlna at Mr. C. C, Cortngto&'a. The Grace M. E. charch organ fund was swelled quite a good deal by the proceeds from the entertainment given last evening at the residence of Mr. C. C. Covington, corner of Sixth and Grace streets. Refreshments were served at popular prices and an admis sion fee of ten cents was charged. And the evening was a most pleasant one as well as profitable. A sunflower concert was something new, but it was a complete success, showing most excel lent planning. The double doors of the parlor, when the guests were seated, were thrown open, and the doorway was entirely covered with white canvas, through open ings in which the faces of the hu man sunflswers surmounting green stems, some short and some long ap peared; Before the doors were thrown open, revealing the brilliant acene, an overture was rendered by Mrs. W. H. Shaw and Miss Fannie Corbett. Then Mr. H. M. Foard pointed out the different sun flowers and indicated the parts they were to perform. The programme was as fol lows : Recitation, "Echo," Mr. C. H. Schul ken. Recitation, "The Boy less Town," Miss Nora Scott. Song, from a French Opera, Mrs. W. H. Shaw and Mrs. John Frank. Recitation, "Keep a-going," Clarence Davis. Recitatlon.'Something Rare Trouble in the Choit," Miss Alice Craft. Song, "Qaaker's Courtship," Miss Nora Scott and Mr. Frank Westbrook. Recitation, "A Boy'a Mother," Master Ben Parmele. Recitation, "Tbe Angelic Husband," Miss Alice Borden. A good night chorus by all the flowers. THE RICE CROP. The Weekly 8tatem:nt Ittued by Meiari. Dan Talmaee'a Sane & Co. Messrs. Dan Talmage's Sons & Co. have the following to say regarding the rice crop : The demand for rice during the past week was rather irregular, but in the ag gregate footed up quite equal to its pre decessor. That stocks in all distributing centres are light is evidenced by the per emptory instructions for immediate shipment of all orders. In the matter of stock the market is better supplied.bnt the most desirable selections are only obtained by engaging in advance of ar rival. Advices from the South note sharp de mand at Charleston with prices main tained at former range. In New . Orleans the assortment has enlarged, but as the quantity is limited, prices are firm. Cables from abroad note generally strong markets. Latest advices from the rice-produdng countries continue to corroborate tbe almost undoubted ex pectation that the European supply is sure to fall considerably short of the av erage of previous years. The strong position of wheat is like wise influencing the course of rice for the present. Talmage, New Orleans, telegraphs Louisiana crop movement to date : Re ceipts 229.690 rough, inclusive of amount carried over, last year 894 600 sacks; sales, cleaned (estimated) 29,765 barrels; last year 48,760 barrels; offerings light and firmly held. Talmage, Charleston, telegraphs Caro lina crop movement to date : Receipts, cleaned, 6.275 barrels; sales. 5,860. Steady demand at former range of prices. "Kid" McCoy and Dan. Cree don have been matched to fight to a finish for a purse of $7,500. .The "argu ment" will take place at Montreal, Canada, on or about December 15th. WHOLE NO. 9.406 THE MORNING STAR.
